Jodi No1 - Season 2

[Courtesy:vijay.indya.com]

Last year Jodi No1 was a mega hit in Vijay TV and I have heard the success story of this dance show. This year when the same program was re-launched as Jodi No1 Season 2, I have been following it up from day 1 of the show. Each show is enjoyable apart from the Vijay TV routine hype on the back ground of the show. Sometimes really it irritates when it captures the small incidents in the back of the sets and publishes just as an emotional advertisement.

There are 8 Jodi's competing for the Jodi No1 title. Everyone are good in their own ways but when comes to the stage performance they are evaluated and the list is narrowed down to the final show.

Dev and Aishwarya - These two seems to be good in chemistry as well in the dance flow. One minus for Dev is expressionless face in his dance. But apart from it they seem to be doing good amount of home work before the show and the sequence is fine. Personally I don't see them as the final probable, as my gut feeling says that they might get eliminated in one of the rounds in the coming weeks.

Tinku and Preethi - This jodi seem to be one of the good bet in the final round. Especially Tinku is giving his heart breaking performance. Preethi seems to be out of touch when compared to Tinku. This Jodi will live up to near the final round just because Tinku takes away everyone by his work and steps. Preethi does well but she is over shadowed by Tinku’s performance. I wish they reach to the finals for sure.

Aravind & Lakshmi - Both seem to be out of sync sometimes but somehow came through 3 rounds. This jodi was eliminated in Property round which is 4th round. But they did well to their level best. 1 mistake they did in the song selection and sometimes the chemistry wasn't working that well. But they did what they can and kudos to them.

Prithvee Raj & Uma Riyaaz - I bet strongly on this Jodi as they are one of the best pair in this season 2. Not that they are excellent dancers but the rhythm, hard work, ease performance, flow and chemistry are well in shape. I like Uma Riyaaz for her excellent face expressions and her cute performance. Of course Prithiviraj is outstanding in his gimmicks and body language. Long way to go but a safe bet Jodi.

Yugendran & Malini - They are real life couple but the song selections they made in each round were totally out of sync for a dance show. Also the dance steps were just like moving the legs & body. It wasn't competing enough for a dance show. This Jodi was eliminated in the Retro round.

Irfan & Monisha - Kana Kanum Kalangal Jodi and the youngest pair participating in this event. I said participating and not competing because Irfan seems to be a non-dancer. Monisha is a first-class dancer and she performs her job. But Irfan slips and his dance movements are stiff. Due to which I feel reaching to the final show is tough task for this Jodi. But Monisha is the ray of hope for this Jodi. Personally I like Monisha cute face and if I would have got a chance before to meet her, might have proposed her :) ya, she is beautiful and wish this Jodi reaches the finals at least for her :(

Venkat & Nisha - Venkat is the hero of this Jodi and they are real life couples. Nisha gives him the right support what she can but Venkat takes away the show with is free style dance movements. I just love his body language and the movement comes to him with ease. This jodi is also a good bet for the final show and am sure they will get till the finals.

Sri & Kirthika - This Jodi surprises you suddenly with their performance and suddenly might disappoint. Sri seems to over confidence and Kirthika seems to over reacting. But in 2 rounds they did well and other rounds they were OK mark. But really you can't guess this Jodi and they might get pass the mark by their sudden performance. We have to wait & watch. If they select good tempo songs and put an astonishing performance then there may be a chance.

The three judges of the show are Sundaram, Simbhu, Sangeetha. Sundaram master is experienced and senior dance master. But sometimes you feel that he doesn't know any other words to praise other than Super, Kalakitta,...Simbhu does a good job and as usual dominates the panel. I was surprised that he was appearing as a judge but it was a good move by him. Sangeetha is good but what performance she has given in dance to be in the panel confuses me. Sometimes she reacts and sometimes gives good scores.

Devadarshini & Deepak are the two anchors of the show. Deepak is doing well with his limited speech. Devadarshini shortly called as DD dominates and doesn't allow anyone to talk. She just shouts and keeps on talking. DD mam you are looking good that’s the only reason I am bearing your non-stop talk. Not only me Deepak as well others:)

Enemy of the State

[Courtesy: www.allposters.com]

The privacy theft by the internet and other sources were shown in a video footage from googleanonymous site. It’s very obvious how deeply it intrudes into a common man life and how it can steal once complete private affairs. When it comes to professional life how it affects the business through phone tapping and other means. If someone who controls this critical information wants to frame you as a fool yep he can. So someone can control someone life if they want to, which is ridiculous. As technology improvises every time, there is always the backside of it to use improperly. If such goes to the hand of wrong person then the result of it becomes adverse. More and more such adverse effects will be seen in coming years due to the technology advancements. If it is used for betterment of a mankind then the purpose of its birth is right.

"Enemy of the state" is one such film where it deals how the NSA using hi-technology tries to devastate a man's personal life. It’s a movie about a murder; NSA does in the event of making to pass the surveillance power bill. The NSA deputy general says "I want every details of this guy from blood samples, urine result and his sex nature". So when they want they can get into any detail of an individual. Another time Brill a main character of the movie says "At least be happy that they don't know what you think inside. There is your privacy". Oh boy... hmmm .The movie has Will Smith, Gene Hackman and Jon Voight in lead roles. The plot was good and the screenplay was tight. The technical aspects shown as part of the movie was a gaze. Will Smith was amazing and performed a subtle act has a how common man would be surprised when his life is exposed. The leaders speak that to protect the nation the people has to give everything they have....then what protection is nation giving to them...irony...It’s a good movie to watch from the aspect to know how the information theft is growing as tech advances...Better watch out guys....
