Cast: Yogi Babu, Remya Nambeesan, Nedumudi Venu
Summer of '92 Story:
A famous comedian Velusamy (Yogi Babu) shares his past struggles behind
today’s success in “Summer of '92”. He failed multiple times in 9th
standard but he became a popular comedian. He was not a meritorious student
during his school days but owing to his current popularity he is invited as
the chief guest of their school.
Schoolteacher Lakshmi (Remya Nambeesan) had a pet dog named King. Her
father, the principal (Nedumudi Venu) tried many times but failed to throw
King out of their house. Finally, he decided to hand over the task to
Velusamy and what happened then was hilarious.
After a disastrous “Hungama 2”, Priyadarshan looked in his usual form in “Summer of '92”. Yogi Babu’s
comic timing was mind-blowing. Remya Nambeesan, Nedumudi Venu also provided
good support with their respective characters.
Episode: Project Agni
Director: Karthick Naren
Music Director: Ron Ethan Yohann
Cast: Arvind Swami, Prasanna, Poorna, Sai Siddharth
Project Agni Story:
The story of “Project Agni” revolves around Vishnu (Arvind Swami), a
scientist who once rejected ISRO’s (Indian space research organization)
offer. He keeps himself busy researching for the universe and time, the
reality and the future.
One fine day he invited his friend Krishna(Prasanna) to show him his
research and invention. He was assisted by Kalki (Sai Siddharth) during the
invention of Drifter.
After the conversation, he decided to suicide but he could pull the
trigger, the ringing of the doorbell stopped him. He found Krishna and his
wife has come, he realized earlier it was Kalki who came in disguise of
Krishna.
Arvind Swami was at his best in “Project Agni”. Karthick Naren’s direction
and Ron Ethan Yohann’s background score deserve appreciation.
Episode: Guitar Kambi Mele Nindru
Director: Gautham Vasudev Menon
Music Director: Karthik
Cast: Suriya, Prayaga Martin
Guitar Kambi Mele Nindru Story:
Kamal(Suriya) is a young musician of the country. While looking for new
opportunities he realized that the lack of resources in our country might
stop his growth. He wants to be a great composer and perform in front of the
world, so he wanted to go to London with his mother.
During the recording of a song, he meets singer Nethra(Prayaga Martin).
Both of them felt something special for each other. They later shared
their feeling and fell in love.
Despite Suriya and Prayaga Martin’s best efforts, the lack of depth in the
story made it look like an average directorial project from Gautham Vasudev
Menon. Karthik scores high with his composition.
