Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom (Few pages are missing in the middle)

When I started watching, I had no idea to watch the movie beyond 30 minutes but the story telling & screenplay compelled to watch till its end. It was a remarkable evidence that with few new faces and with just 3 locations (House, Marriage hall & Government hospital), a strong script could reap success. The story line is simple, the main character due to an injury while play forgets some portion of his life just before a day of his marriage. His three friends doesn't want the marriage to cease due to this reason as the doctor highlighted that it is short term memory loss and could revive back anytime. The remaining plot is how those three manage to end the marriage with a positive note concealing the fact.

The total dialogue for the movie could be written in a 2 A4 size paper while the three friend’s gestures & their big rolling eyes talk the rest. Most of the dialogues of the main character would repeat 10 to 15 times yet you don't feel a pinch of boredom. Every time the dialogue is repeated you to tend to laugh more & more.

It is going to be a hat-trick for Vijay Sethupathi after "Pizza" and this movie. Well done! It's a sure shot hilarious entertainer of the year and a perfect way to end 2012. I am not going to dwell into music or camera work as the script overtook everything in a go.

"Aye Enna Aachu, naama cricket velayada ponoma....", "Shabba intha ponnu pai madhiri iruka" are few snippets which would stay for some time in our memory after you watch the movie.

The three new Musketeers have done pretty decent job but sometimes when they show blunt look expressing their surprise & anxiety it annoys us, perhaps could have been better. Same feel you get with the heroine that she could have performed more during the reception sequences. With numb face expressions and no sense of doubtfulness from the other supporting characters gives a little stage drama effect.

Nevertheless it is a super attempt on such low budget passing through the gates of "Box-Office-Hit". Cheers to the whole team for making a clean and a good entertainer.

A must watch fun-filled movie!!

P.S:- When I look at this blog while writing this post, I too tend to ask "Enna achu, are there missing posts?" as there is a huge gap between the previous and current post :-(

~Pongal 'O' Pongal 2009~

When Prabudeva was explaining the way each song of the movie "Villu" was taken in one of the TV shows, I was really awaiting to watch the movie. After watching it felt it is even worse than Kuruvi and confused why Soldier movie which I watched during my initial college days was converted into current trend for presentation. Man!! hopeless story and nonsense screenplay. When you write about a movie if there is something nice you will fill the gaps of other items. Here I see only large gaps everywhere. Vadivelu comedy has lost track and when you see him on-screen you get irritated. May be the movie focus is kids and that’s why it is taken in such a way. Looks like Vijay was thoroughly impressed by the stylish Ajith in Billa and want to record him in similar lines. Only item which I liked is the music by Devi sri prasad though usual masala but catchy numbers. Apart from it I don't see any good in this movie. Vijay I don't have to say anything if you are a true artist you would have realized the backlogs else something wrong in the top.

Another movie Padikadhavan in which Dhanush says this dialogue "Enna madhiri aalu ellam patha pidikathu paaka paaka thaan pidikum". I guess he is saying both for him as well for the movie. From where this trend of playing villains in Andhra started not sure may be influence of Kuruvi. You will get confused watching the movie as it completely loses its balance goes in its own directions. Sun TV has already geared up its marketing force to make the necessary hype for the movie.

I feel lack of quality movies makes all these movies reach 100+ days. I am sure you will see the 100th day, even 150th day celebrations for Villu as well Padikadhavan and some TV will host on an Ammavasai occasion as "Indhiya tholai katchiyil mudhal morai". Things have to change dudes else the standards will be compared with Kannada movies and not with Hollywood.

Evolution of Kuruvi

Udhya: I am planning to produce a movie and if you can give me a good script, I am ready. Both my grand father and father are forcing me to spend as we are finding hard for a storing place to preserve the money.

Dharani: Udhya I have a wonderful and speedy script than Ghilli & Dhool. Who will be your choice as the hero?

Udhya: How about Ajith?

Dharani: Boss I don't want to give a flop show here.

Udhya: Ok then next choice would be Vijay.

Dharani: Fine, I was comfortable during Ghilli with him. The storyline is strong and will project Vijay in a different dimension.

Udhya: Dharani, since Vijay is there we don't need a story. So remove the story completely and we will keep the screenplay tight.

Vijay enters the discussion room after Udhya called him.

Vijay: Na Dharani Na, you kept only 1 scene in Ghilli for me where I jump from one terrace to another terrace. But here I want many scenes like that to boost my heroic image.

Dharani: No worries, I will even go to the extent of keeping a scene that you fall in love only when you fly in air.

Vijay: Udhya you were specifying some tight screenplay. We don't need that too as we have Trisha mam in it. So we can remove it as well.

Dharani: OK no story, no screenplay then how about music?

Udhya: Since Vijay is a good dancer if someone could hit some of the musical instruments where he has scope to his dance movements then it should work well.

Dharani: We also have two villains in the movie one is Ashish Vidhyarthi and another is Suman. We can effectively use them.

Vijay: No no, let us make them little ineffective so that they can be viewed as comedians as well as villains.

Dharani: How about Vivek as lead comedian and also accompanying you throughout the movie.

Vijay: He might over take me so better we cut him off in the first half of the movie.

Everyone agrees to the resulted script and Kuruvi emerges flamboyantly. Hurray!!

Sila Padangal Alasal

"Romba Kadhalai Intha bhoomi kandiruku"..."Romba kadhal padangal intha Tamil cinema kandiruku..". In these lines falls the new movie Pidichiruku. The movie story is simple and an old subject, but the screenplay pushes us to wait till the end. Though we can guess what might be the next scene, it was interesting to watch. The director definitely had done good homework for the neat scripting. One of the positives of the movie can be credited to the comedy sequences and “Kanja Karupu”. "Nalla Erakureengapa pothaya" might be a repeat of Vadivelu's dialogue, still makes you to smile. The second half of the movie could have been cut short to make this movie as a more racy play.

Another movie Anjathey was a gripping thriller and arousing to watch. After "Chitram Pesuthadi" the director has bounced back with another hit. Here too the movie length could have been cut short as it runs for 3+ hrs, apart from it doesn’t bore you. A gang to kidnap children for ransom was a known storyline, but the way of storytelling was interesting to see. When I watched the movie Man on Fire with Denzel Washington on the lead, felt it was similar to Anjathey. The class was apart in the two movies and Denzel sways us with his natural acting. Anjathey and Man on fire both deals with the kidnapping of children for ransom but taken in different backdrops. Both were fascinating and Anjathey though being a local version was good with what best it can.

The above two paragraph if written by another blogger will have different perspective and style. If in this same post I publish that from various bloggers is what Vantage point movie about. A murder scene shown from different people’s angle but version of truth is one. Through each ones angle you will get few pieces of the truth and finally can be assembled as right view. When the clock was reset after each person view, you go back to point 1 of the murder scene and restart again. This was similar to the movie “Virumandi” of telling the fact from each person view. You may watch this movie as you go somewhere but not worth spending time exclusively.

Pinathalgal

One thing I understood clearly, never take as is the opinion of others. Every review I read and heard said Bheema movie was bad and not good to watch. To my surprise I liked the movie. I am pretty sure the storyline of the movie was a combination of "Ullaasam" and "Thalabathy" with a different climax. But the short and swift conclusion of each scene was something I liked rather than dragging too much. Vikram has put his effort in shaping his body enormously so that he justifies that he can hit a group of people just like that. Prakash Raj was portrayed as a god father who questions every mistake, but the recap scenes of his early age made me to laugh. Since, he can't fit into someone who can hit many people and heroic. Also when he comments to Thalaivasal Vijay "Ivana paakum pothu enaku en chinna vayasu nayabagam varuthu", I couldn't control my giggles. Raghuvaran was wasted and I want to know who is the guy acted as Raghuvaran Son? couldn't control the irritation feel I get when I see his face. Trisha nalla azhaga irukaanga..."Run" lingusamy is dead. Mudhal Mazhai Enai song was awesome and made me to rewind couple of times.

On a side note when searching some points on wordpress, noticed something called "WYSIWYG" which is an acronym for "What You See Is What You Get". This phrase seems to be close antonym to my blog caption and I didn't keep this blog caption related to anything. This caption or the blog name came when there was nothing to think or know. When I noticed something related exists antonymally got a relishing feel.

On another side note I was going through one of the website of some forum held and came across the profile section of the so called key persons. Gosh, when reading the profiles, few things hit my mind. The profiles were written and given by the person themselves, mostly they were the same which they used to put in other places, silly points were mentioned as interested in, self appraisal was in high degree, used the place to self promote. I was thinking how I used to be fascinated of a profile appearing on web for some meeting as a key person, but now lost the charm knowing its "NO BIG DEAL".

Ramble

They could have named the movie Indralogathil Na Aazhagappan as Naragalogthil Padam Parpavargal. There is no story, no big comedy, no screen play, no logic, no pace, and no good songs; simply it’s no good movie to watch. I was dragging in the seat for the movie to finish. I wonder what the director explained during the discussions. I felt it was a sheer waste of time to watch the movie. One good thing about the movie is the massive sets which were impressive but making the producer a big hole. It’s time for Vadivelu to rethink the movies he accepts. The movie didn't even make a giggle out of the audience. Everybody was just hanging there as they have come along. I am not sure why Shreya picked up this cameo role which was insignificant. The movie can be classified as a movie which came in 1970's.

Read about Luigino F. Paulucci on giving jobs to folks with troubles. He employs people who are having criminal records and want a break in their life. It was good to hear such news as someone would like to learn from their mistakes and pursue further for good. Everyone does mistakes but when it’s get overdose they are caught by law. Giving a break to them is a good thing and he would be remembered by those people for life time.

Corporate meetings are planned and occur across the world bringing in great minds together. Also it gives the people to conglomerate with variety of people from various parts of the world. Those meetings are organized in places were infrastructure, nativity and navigation are good. Hongkong was specified as a nice place and one positive point mentioned is about the navigation around the place. It seems the sign boards and information in Hongkong has details in English enabling the foreigners to pass through without hassles. I was wondering about Ramdoss [PMK Leader] for a moment who wants everything in Tamil. I am not against it but see the outside world which is trying to be in one roof. If you don't be part of it then you are the one losing something. Hence being proactive in making the place convenient for everyone and building the infrastructure makes more business in the current trend else you would be out of the race.

Taare Zameen Par - Every child is special

[Courtesy:buzz18.com]

Taare Zameen Par - A must watch movie for all parents to know how kids are affected by forcing them to equip for so called "Future competitive world". The movie starts with a small boy with bunny teeth catching small fishes for his home fish tank. When I started watching the movie I had no intention to continue if it bores for more than 30 minutes. But the movie didn't and it slowly, steadily spreads into you. There is no nonsense in the screenplay with cinematic scenes. It exactly communicates the message intended strongly and deeply.

Ishaan Awasthi, our hero of the movie would have had maximum a page dialogue but through his refined acting skills converses with you. Wow! He did a perfect job and suited aptly to the character. After a day still I could remember his face though I saw him for the first time. That’s the impact he has made and truly amazing stuff. Aamir Khan on the other hand has shown once again that he is not only a reputed actor but a fine director too. Every bit of the movie is well captured and the music just adds the essence needed. Every one could relate a father like Mr Awasthi, brother like Yohaan and a mother like Maya. Similar characters live among us and we could see through them.

I felt the last few scenes of the boy winning award could have avoided as it gave a normal movie effect. If the movie would have concluded when the father of the boy cries and leaves seeing Ishaan reading the notice board, it would have been more apt making the audience to think and gaze. No matter, this is a splendid movie which I saw recently and stands apart from the routine movies.

Is he 40+ ? $#%^@

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....

Saroja Sama Nikalo!!

It was 100th day celebrations for Chennai 600028 movie produced by SPB Saran and directed by Venkat Prabu. Few glimpse of the function which were highlights:

1. Rajini & Kamal were present along with other cine personalities.
2. The whole program was anchored by two guys who were sending laughing gas through the crowd.
3. At one stage the presenters told that they want to do a “Jabam” for people who are suffering and the slogan would relief from the pain. Everyone was requested to close their eyes and few people from the audience section started closing their eyes and these guys started to repeat “Saroja Sama Nikalo… Saroja Sama Nikalo….” You should see the laugh outburst from our superstar...
4. Vijay, Balachander and Bharathiraja spoke on screen as they were unable to attend the function.
5. Dhanush came to speak something but blabbered something for which Aishwarya, daughter of Rajini commented to her father, spontaneously our thalaiver smiled.
6. Kamal seems to be out of mood to mingle completely into the function. Whenever something happened Rajini was sharing something which Kamal was listening as if he told something seriously.
7. SPB spoke a good speech applauding the achievement of these youngsters and praying that they succeed in their future endeavors.
8. Kamal spoke on the achieving more and assured that he & Rajini would be there to give a pat.
9. Rajini spoke a nice peppy talk and gave a dashing introduction as “To honor the function of a film made for friendship by friends, he has come with his close friend Kamal”. In side gap he also informed on the initial talk on starting the Lagaan Tamil version. Nice thing it didn’t happen and I was relieved.
10. Finally the group sung the “Yaaro” song from the movie as conclusion and a group snap was taken. In that Rajini voluntarily took Venkat arms around his neck and you should see the reaction of Venkat.

Perplex?

[Courtesy:visiontv.ca]

It was a movie released in 1988. You can see Tom Cruise in his teen looks when compared to the MI sequels. The movie name is Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise are in the front lead. The movie produces mixed effects to the audience, sympathy, hilarious and sentiments in right percentage. The movie is an award winning movie and you would know why when you experience it. I started late to watch the movie and completed around early morning which in turn put me into sleep till afternoon. It’s a good flick and doesn’t bore you. It deals with the brain disorder “autism” and Dustin lives as such throughout the movie.

Sometimes I get few questions which puzzle me:

1. Why do our people see movies more than their average per month in a foreign soil when compared to their stay at home?
2. Why do we get used cars but doesn’t want to spend on the maintenance in US?
3. Why do people plan to go for a vegetable purchase as some shopping dhamaka here?
4. Why do people worry too much of health & physic when they stay for sometime in US?
5. Why people tend to find out cultural activities when they don’t even think about it at home?
6. Why people at home when calling get confused in good morning & good evening though they have been told ‘n’ times?
7. Why do the bachelors in US speak to their home more than they actually speak when they are at home?
8. Why is the photo sessions conducted more frequently here?
9. Will people die or get psychic if internet is not there in US?
10. What will people do if they don’t have a laptop or computer at their home in US?
11. Why do people show more interest in Tamil\mother tongue when in US and for English when in India?
12. Why when they are here they want to go back home and when they are at home they want to come here?
13. Why people think too much when they go back to home from here as if they have stayed outside the planet?

Parthiban Kanavu - a dream for all couples

I have seen numerous times this movie and love to see again and again. A poem or story if written with full involvement and experience comes out in a fabulous way. I believe Karu Pazhaniappan has done one such. The movie portrays the role model wife whom every guy would dream for his future. Sneha has performed the dual role one is peppy and other as the wife character. She aptly suits in both the roles and I just adored her in wife role. Satya is the wife character name and Janani is the city girl type name. Satya just occupies your mind completely with her body language and pleasant expressions. She is quiet but still converse with you with her expressions. The person to be applauded is Karu Pazhaniappan who just takes away with his simple, elegant script & screenplay. The dialogues are sharp and speak about reality & life. The movie as a whole was taken maturely with good sense of humor. Everybody has performed their roles in appreciable manner. Vidyasagar definitely was an additional plus for the movie. The songs were excellent and sweet to hear. Everybody in the movie was good and that’s the problem in the plot. There are no such bad elements and each one was good at their own ways. Few dialogues which I thoroughly enjoy:

“Kalancha than vedu kalaiyama iruntha museum”
“Kalyanathu munnadi kadhalichen, kalayanthu kprum atha neruthitten”
“Kanavan manayvi kulla sorry solla arambicha, vazhkayila padhi time sorry than sollanum”
“Odambu seri illathavana pathu epplernthu ketta seri, nalla irukravana pathu epplernthunu ketta enna solrathu”

Like this many dialogues were catchy and really pleasurable.

Friday to Saturday!

In US to recreate they play different kind of games which is new to me. The other day I was watching a group was throwing a thread tied with two balls at its end to a pole kind of structure. If the thread structure hangs on the pole after it’s ejection then a point is credited to the end. This Friday evening watched another type where two boxes with a hole were kept at two ends. A small sack filled with sand was thrown to the box and if it falls inside the hole then it’s a point. Three girls and three boys with can beer in each of their hands were playing. I was fluctuating to see the game and the girls ah... After coming back to den I was bit bored. Whether to sleep early or to watch something or to browse something what should I do was the thought process ongoing. Starring at the DVD boxes for some time and then pulled out the movie “The Butterfly Effect”. Initially when the movie started I wasn’t fully involved into it but in the end turned out to be a good one. The movie was a fantasy movie of travelling back in time [Irony: I want to kill time but watching a movie projecting about travelling back in timeJ]. The movie starts from the childhood days of the hero Evan Treborn by Ashton Kutcher. At important phases there were memory blackouts for him and the screen fades out. At first I wasn’t able to correlate the sequences and was confused. Later in the movie when he travels back in time he was able to visualize the same situation and alter the way it happens. The story plot and screen play was done so well and compels the audience to continue till the end. It was a tightly coupled sequence and anywhere the director slipped then the whole movie would have diluted. The director succeeds in what he wanted to project and it has come out in a good shape. Evan goes back to his memory blackouts by reading his daily journals and knowing what had happened he tries to alter the situation. But the outcome of the modified was totally out of his hands and turns out to be negative some way or other to himself or his close mates. Hence every time he goes back and alters to see everything finishes well. He loves Kayleigh's performed by Amy smart and he wanted her with him after he modifies the past. But it didn’t work some way or other, so at the end he scarifies his love and once for all ends his love in its budding stage, carving a good future for everybody.

Each plot the same characters perform a different role. It was like seeing multiple movies with in a movie and was interesting. Rajinikanth made a statement on an occasion when asked why he wasn’t doing his next movie as “Kadhai illa sir”. After watching such movies which deals with same love story but in a creative outfit, makes to think why new stories aren’t there. It puzzles me how Kamalhasan who likes to perform variety missed to redo this play. Just out of craziness thinking whether this might be the story of Dasavatharam, his next venture :) I have seen “Back to future” and this one but I like the later more. There is no end to creativity and movie world is all about it.

Changes are inevitable and apply to everyone\everything. For past few days was thinking of doing some physical activity rather than sitting in front of the black box. I like playing but forming the group, pulling everybody in the evening time became out of scope and gone are those days. Those days my job was to call everybody from their home sharp at 4 pm for playing. To go to gym feel somewhat lazy and also think if not continued then will blow up again. Might be a myth but comfortable with it. Hence planned to go for a walk for a while. Don’t know whether this will be continued but making an attempt to it. In this effort the biggest supporter is my iPod and Tamil movie songs. Especially songs from Vijay, Rajini movies make you to feel energetic and your pulse rate increases. So for now “Unnoda uyarvuku unnoda vervai, ennoda uyarvuku ennoda vervai…”

Sivaji aka MGR

For the 1.5 months exaggerations, for the multiple story lines revolving around from the day movie was launched, for the interviews each key person of the movie gave, for all the pre\post reviews in news papers, blogs and all media, for the dashing trailer, for the premier show chats, for the feedback from the known persons who saw the movie, for the question why a bald person is wearing the cooling glass in reverse fashion before entering the theatre, I got the answer finally for all these for’s. The movie Sivaji can be classified as one of the commercial super hits of all-time superstar Rajini, the youth at 50’s.

Rajini strengths are his style, comedy, action and his looks which are being utilized completely. Shankar’s strength in this movie is Rajini and he has played around him. The whole movie can be watched for Rajini, Rajini and Rajini. Yes he has banged the industry that he is the 100% entertainer and evergreen super star. You can admire him from all aspects in the film. You expect to watch him in his action then he fulfills your expectations more than you want. Thegata thegata Rajiniya kamichirukanga and pathu rasikalam. Every frame pixel by pixel he is occupied. I don’t recollect a single scene where his presence is not shown. After a 2 years gap from a movie and 8 year gap from a Rajini type movie this is it. You will enjoy “The Boss” from every angle you watch. At his age he has given more than 100 percent effort which is visible. His performance in order if you arrange in this movie it will be looks, comedy, style, dance, action. Enormous effort can be seen in his dancing, fight sequences pushing back his age factor. The don roars in the second half and you can see 80’s Rajini in the first half. The second half is routine Rajini stuff and I thoroughly enjoyed the first half. Every scene was as pleasure to watch and this man just kalakals. When he walks in songs, dances or in the actions you can observe his aging factor. Mottai Rajini simply takes over you. Eppadi antha vettayan Raja manusula ninaro intha mottai Rajiniyum appdiye ninutaru. In fact many scenes were surprising to me from this super man, antha comedy dialogues imitations, disguising himself into Shivaji, MGR & Kamal…Wow! He rocks. Kandipaga Rajinikaga pakka vendiya padam.

Shankar has done well in coordinating and articulating the play with a team. But sir ethayo neenga tholachitteenga athu kathaya, illa unga logic senseya, illa unga originalitya, illa saraku theenthu pocha…something or everything is lost. Antha Gentlemen, Indian, Mudhalvan Shankara thedi thedi pakuren padathula kanum. When you have such a powerful person casting for your story you should have given a powerful story. Seri Rajini movies always revolve around a small group of persons and theme. Avara poi veena National, international ranguku ellam panna vechu konjam sothapal paniteenga. You have taken utmost care for small things in each frame and tried to improvise it. But main matterana storyum athu ketha screenplayum konjam sarikirukeenga. Rajini superstar thaan but athukaga superman panra fantasy ellam avaru mela thinicha avarudo strengths weeknessa marida abayam iruku. But really appreciate your whole effort in piling up and taking care of the direction. But as a whole you haven’t exploited completely neither Rajini strength or the story. How a software architect can earn 200 crores and how after 20 years of service he is unmarried? Bramandam kamikaruthu unga style aana Rajini mattikitta athe image lock madhiri neengalum matikatheenga, muyuchikoonga. Ellathyum bramandam kamika pona thegatidum. Unga Asst. directors ellam kalakranga, so watch out Shankar.

AR you showed again what you are. The background score as well as music will be the next talk of the town after Rajini till this movie celebrates silver jubilee. But antha music instrument store fight scenela konjam adaki vasichirukalam konjam kathulernthu ratham vanthuduchu. Overall AR has scored distinction in the movie.

Money Laundry, CPR, Voice recognition system and for few dialogues Sujatha sneaks in. But fulla ethyume explore panama ethu 100 pera konna pathee vaithiyan madhiri irunthathu. Shreya the beauty doll walks, talks, dances, and does minor acting. She was a breeze as a heroine. The art direction thotta tharani and camera work by KV Anand in this movie will be their certificates for life time. Shivaji styla sollanumna Chumma adhiradi panirukanga. Intha creative team athu ithunu padam arambikum bothu sonangale avanga enna senchangnu theriyala. Raghuvarana totala waste pannirukanga and the list include Manivanan.

Suman does well but still his dialogue delivery sucks. Ethoo madhiri iruku, antha effect varala. Always Rajini movies the villains will be powerful in their personality take Basha, Padayapa or any commercial movie in the recent past. But ivaru buildup ellam ok than but pesum bothu tamlegu madhiri iruku. Vivek Rajini pinnadiye irukaru, first halfla sirika vekararu, poraru. 30 to 40 percent of his Boy’s performance, ambuttuthaan. Opening scene of a Rajini movie eppadi irukanum!! konjam theatrea adhiranum illa aana inga dialoguela than adhirathu varuthu. Opening scena Karthik padam madhiri arambichutanga. Ithu nalatha illa kedathanu theriyala but satisfyinga illa.

Overall the movie is a thorough entertainer and a feast for Rajini rasigan. Cool endra varthaya thayavu senchu Tamil ilakiyathula sethirunga. Inume adutha padam release agura varaikum Tamil nadula veyil eppadinu kettalum coooolnu than padhil varum. Shivaji effect ache….Coooooool!!

Nammavar

What am I writing about when “The Boss” is sending havoc across the globe? What you think is not what you get :) I am a buff of thalaiver, but still a person who like to watch any good movie. Kamalhasan to me is a person who loves the Tamil industry and tries to do experimentation in his movies. In his experiments he has burnt his fingers several times but still striving to give different movies and waiting for the audience approval. In Devar Magan there is a dialogue where Shivaji says “Athu ethu restaurant sonniye konduvaa, kathu kodu, aana namma pasanga methuva than varuvanga” perfectly suits for Kamal's thirst to give variety movies to Tamil audience. Nammavar was a blend of commercial items with a light message to society. Nammavar, Devar magan, Anbe Sivam are on my evergreen list from this actor, I do have couple more but just mentioning these as I watched for nth time these recently. Kamal is one of the best artiste whom Tamil industry had bagged but sometimes I don’t like his overacting. Nammavar does have couple of scenes where he does this extra effort which becomes hamming. But still overall it’s a movie where you can enjoy as the plot and screenplay was neat. The first entry of Kamal as vice principal with his lifted coolers, blade fight scene where he says “Venamda ithellam venam thane naan iruken”, clash scenes between him and Karan, the apologize scene, the song sequence that follows after the instruments were broken were few to mention. The movie portrays the bad patches of college youngsters and few scenes hits the society with its raw fact. The scene when one of the student falls from the ceiling and taken to hospital the ward boy says to Kamal “Sir ethachum kavinga sir, kamal then shouts and he continues to say dei sir remba kovama irukaru…”, another scene in a open discussion between college management and parents one of the founder says “Sir nanga ellam saraayam vithhu vantha kasula thaan intha college kattinom” are few hitting the truth in a light manner. Nagesh, this splendid actor has shown several brilliant performances in the past and here too was amazing. The scene where he behaves differently after his daughter suicides was a sample and shows his in-depth experience. Karan’s debut but still showed his maturity and I liked his performance. Sun TV top 10 style if I have to say “Nammavar Vallavar”!

Mogambo Kush Huva!!

Watching Rajini movie first day show is like watching India vs. Pakistan cricket match and where India batting second hits a sixer in the last ball of the 50th over.

I am eager and charged.

Previous Rajini flick, first day show ticket pooja done at Chennai.

HILLS HAVE EYES II

[Courtesy:movies.yahoo.com]

"Get me some tea ya...Empa Tamil naatula iruthutu tea venumnu kekama empa englishla kekara...Dei nee teanu sonnathe english thaanda vennai...hee hee" listening to this song from Englishkaran drove to Regal cinemas to watch "Hills Have Eyes II" last Friday. Came back after the movie unsounded and thrilled. Knowing about the part I of this movie is a different story. When I used to bring DVDs from a near by library somehow picked up the part I, but never intended to watch. My roommate exhausted his DVDs for the week and took the part I for his night show. Next day came to me and said just watch it dude it’s our preferred type of movie. I was impressed by the movie with its sheer arrogance and bloodshed scenes. After a while when watching some other movie saw the trailer of part II and determined to go for it. My calculations didn't go wrong and as expected part II was even more violent and gore. If you are a person looking for thriller with gore then this is one such movie. When dug deep in wikipedia what was released in 2006 is actually a remake of 1977 movie and there were sequels in 1985 and 1995. The 2006 part I introduction starts with a logical reason as the US conducted nuclear tests in a particular region and the effects caused the people with changes in their genes.

BTW apart from Hills Have Eyes terrifying you, Google made a surprise and I was a victim, People talk more about agloco, The Boss exhibits its songs and stills....Lots of excitement waiting...
