:-)

Times have passed things have changed,
I am same but the scenario is changed.
Things go round and round
Around my heart to make it a pound

Stop the game, oh crazy girl
Mystic are your ways like a whale
Kings and pawns are all that I know
‘Re always back of the queen at thy throne

Dark are these days
As thou not felt my pace
Spell the list that I should lay
For thy hand on my way

To whom shall I pray, oh my god
When I am a prey of the cute lord
And still your smile is undercover
So what, I Love u forever and ever

What is it..?

Are u so happy these days..? Is it..? Then please go and watch Kuruvi as soon as possible – Of course Happiness and Sorrow are two wheels of life na. Just go and feel it. When something is wrong somewhere then it is adjustable, wat do we say when everything is wrong everywhere..? Dont think too much guys, just name it as kuruvi. It is said that during summer, especially when the temperature is so high and when the sun scorches like anything, then the minds of people gets disturbed a lots which makes them to do when they shouldn't. I did not believe these details until i found it myself seated in the theatre for the very first show of kuruvi. First day, first show, that too for much awaited Dharani movie. Oh God, I cant even imagine how I felt when I came out of the theatre with my dreams shattered. Udayanithi stalin's debut as a producer is on a weak effort. As soon as the movie started, everyone in the theatre started looking around, with faces puzzled enough, and heavy confusion was moving around and it didn’t take much time to know that we’ve been cheated. No one knows what’s happening in the screen and i guess even the director also doesn’t know that. At that moment, I clearly understood that the scorching sun has driven these people mad enough and even it tries to do the same with us the viewers. I took the chance, understood the plot and turned away from the screen in the next minute. Then i was praising the inventor of the cell phone games, who proved to be the God at that moment.
Dharani, coming back to the field nearly after 4 years should have stunned us with something more powerful than "gilli". But he has done that undoubtedly in the other way. It’s really a stunning performance. Of course, everything doesn’t go great for everyone right. Dharani is also not an exception. Logical mistakes are acceptable for commercial movies, but kuruvi has just exceeded the limits. Better he could have tried a super-hero subject. The next question is wat happened to vidhyasagar..? But everyone says tat, its no use of blaming a music director when the director is in a clear form towards the other side. So lets praise dharani again for those wonderful headaches (Songs). But we could lessen our anger for that "Thaen thaen", which is just quite ok comparatively. The lyricists were unfaithful for they have been paid for. But we should thank the music director for his background score, which doesn’t torture us that much as the screenplay does. Poor editing and bad lighting are two great pillars behind kuruvi’s flop. Editing was so bad especially in the song sequences and the cameraman didn’t do any good work, as he even failed to show the coolness of Malaysia at least as good as it was shown in Billa. Some tourist people might lose their interest in going there after seeing this movie.

Actor vijay has done his job clearly as what dharani is expected him to do. And Thrisha proves again as a best time-pass actress who just runs all around the movie along with vijay astonishingly both of them doesn’t know, where they are running which ultimately causes our eyes to pain. Vivek's comedy is dry enough just adding more fuel for the summer's heat. Suman, Ashish vidhyarthi and manivannan have failed to justify their roles, which got lost in the heavy logical mistakes of the plot. At last when the movie ended, unknowingly i started praising perarasu, who seemed to be a better commercial moviemaker at that point. The lesson that I’ve learned in the end is never judge a director even though he has given successful hits in his past. Just wait for a review and then watch the movie. Or else, get into the theatre with an Anacin..!

A Perfect XEROX - Again..!

Director Raja, should be given a national award as the best remake movie maker but unfortunately they dont give away awards to that category. But if someone from the board is reading this post, then please consider this suggestion of mine. I think he never watches any tamil movie channels at his house, instead he should be hanging around Gemini, Teja, Maa or so and so. It would be better if he looks at Surya, Asianet and Udaya too. For even those language movies are providing good opportunities for nice remake movies suited for tamil film industry these days. Hey guys, please dont think that i am cursing him. Just understand that it's a different way of encouraging people like Raja.
Talking about the movie, it has such a wonderful story. A great message in the end makes the movie in a must to watch list. The strength is that it has taken the subject that is so common in most of the families. It shows the beauty of relationship between a father and his son. It teaches what a father needs to learn and also what a son needs to understand. Atlast there is something for everyone of us to learn from this movie. Next the character depiction, which is more perfect and exact for the credits goes to the original screenplay writer, who has worked a lot while even the character of kausalya who appears with the phone all the time is meanigful. Then the screenplay is smooth enough to convey the deep message of the story. It has the perfect insertion of Jenilia's character with a sweet love around, making the viewer to smile about it. Devisri prasad has done a perfect work, while the song lyrics translators should be praised for their excellency in the world collection, to fill out the gaps in the music, and also fitting the scene and the story too. Simply it is marvellous.

Jayam Ravi has done a cool job and it seems that he is improving a lots these days, especially he has done a perfect work in the climax. And the camera work is colourful and ofcourse the cameraman wouldnt have faced any difficulties in reproducing the same angles that were shown in the original version. And even the editor wouldnt have faced any problem. Better Raja could have called me to do the editing and hope he will do the next time when he does a remake movie. Its so simple u know - Just CTRL+C and CTRL+V. Background score was moving at some areas, especially in the climax. The comedy track perfectly gets along with the story and finds our laughter comfortably. Raja should have avoided those scenes like that tea shop and pani puri shop, or atleast he should have shown his creativity in these areas instead of showing the same from the original one as these weren't normal to tamil movie culture. Jenelia was nice in doing the same thing as it was and as it should be. And Prakashraj has done his usual work untiringly. To sum up the movie was a perfect colour xerox. Eventhough the xerox machine has worked again perfectly but enough is enough and its time for Raja to think something new. Wat about hollywood movies..? I will buy some good DVDs and will send them to him soon. Anyone intererested in helping him out with some French, Iranian or some chinese DVDs..? But the fact is, when it comes to a remake movie Raja is the only undefeated king so far. And also lets praise him for providing us the movies, that a whole family could sit and watch comfortably. Kudos to him..!

The Most Meaningful Strike

“Onpathu Rubai Nottu” – the movie as peculiar as its name, is an excellent masterpiece of Thangar Bachaan, which would undoubtedly, scribble his name in the milestones of tamil cinema. The story circles around the hero Madhava Padaiyaatchi, his happiness, his hardships, his relationships and everything about him. If u were used to or experienced to the life of a typical Tamil village, then u would have been familiar with the characters in the movie. A set of wonderful characters holds the movie in its main stream.

The director has worked harder in each and every frame of the movie, which is clearly visible. He has shown his directorial touch with every scene that makes us to feel healthy. Thangar has worked harder to bring out the best from the characters. But all the kudos should be given to Satyaraj, Archana, Nasaar and Rohini for their splendid performances. Only these senior players have saved the game without doing the overacting, which is quite common in Thangar’s movies.

Thangar should be specially praised for his camera, which captures every interesting moments of a village except some of the close-up shots of the seniors, which fills the screen and scares us sometimes.

He captures the environment in a quite different way, but we expect lots more from his angles. The background score by Bharatwaj is moving. The songs are livelier than ever. Without these songs, especially without these lyrics the movie would be an incomplete one. Vairamuthu has done his best that he could do for a movie of this kind. “Velaayee” and “Maargazhiyil kulichipaaru” are the best tracks of the era which speaks out the Vedanta of life. The Screenplay is excellent; maybe it would have been easier for him to do, as he owns the story as his novel. The character depiction and the dialogues perfectly fit the screen. Sometimes the audiences are found restless when Archana repeats her mourning for every scene in the second half.

The beautiful climax makes the movie worthy; especially Thangar touches our heart with those few dialogue exchanges that appear after the climax scene. There lies the message; there lies the theme and it is where the whole viewers stands disturbed and it is where Thangar stands with his success. At last the movie takes its own position in tamil cinema’s “Must to Watch” list. Thangarbachan strikes harder than ever..!

Two in one, but in vain..!

Rameshwaram is a complete love story of a Refugee, who loses everything in his life at the other end of the sea, and gains the love of a girl in the standing end.
The director has tried his level best to mix-up a love story along with the tragic life of refugees. But it is quite hard thing u know, and it’s clear that he has failed in making it successfully. He should have been quite confused with his substance. He should have clearly shown us the demarcation or else he should have done two movies. But he leaves us in vain. Jeeva who plays the role of a refugee, is not that much clear in his role. May be the director is not clear. The movie tests our patience with its confusing screenplay. While Jeeva frequently changing the track makes us exhausted and sometimes puzzles us as he does that with no valuable reasons. Bhavana does, what she was asked to do.Bose venkat, may look unfit for the role in the beginning, but later he justifies himself. Lal has nothing special to do in this movie. He plays his usual character as he used to do in other movies.

The movie provides us its only salvation through its songs and cinematography. The cameraman has worked harder than any other. No one has ever shown Rameshwaram, in such a good mood so far. Especially the camera movements in the song sequences are excellent. I could suggest u to watch this movie, just for the cinematographer who has done his part greatly. Niru's background score is perfect. “Alaigalin Osai” and “Elloraiyum yethi” are memorable tracks. Especially their lyrics are good.
The editor has done a good job, especially during the song sequences and somewhere here and there. Manivannan, lays unnoticed in the end of the movie. The director should have used these characters well enough. Some of the serious dialogues in the movie have filled out the gap of the comedy track, which is explicitly missing in the script. Especially the audience could never stop laughing while Jeeva shouts in front of Lal in the climax. This is where the movie falls and here I have with no other words to explain more.

Now it’s the time for us to wish the director of Rameshwaram – Mr. Selvam, “Better luck next time”.

Chennai - 600 028 -- 0%Cinema 100%Entertainment

Before starting the game, let me give a standing ovation to Venkat Prabhu, the real Master Blaster behind the team SHARKS in the movie Chennai – 600028. Some of u may not know about this Sharks. Of course u need to watch the movie then. A band of heroes with their own way of lifestyle, excelling in their locality is the theme. They have their own world, own rules, own successes, own failures, own satisfaction and own thirstiness.

The positive thing here is that all that I have mentioned above are well known to us. Most of us would have lived or still living in those. The story was build over the center core of Gully cricket with sheathes of Love and Friendship binding them.

Venkat Prabhu has come out with a subject that bowls out the cinematic things like Makeup, Location, Dialogues, Sentiments, etc. The movie grounds over naturalism. It was shot in the exact location, with the exact people, spilling out exact dialogues as natural as it need to be.
The entertaining thing is that the viewer breaks into laughter at every section of the movie.
In cine field, most of them are failing to reach the audience with their artificial flavour. Venkat has proved, that capturing reality could completely satisfy a viewer. Budding directors needs to make a note of it.


Even though the movie was completely entertaining it was totally the Men’s stuff. Yuvan has come up with beautiful songs suiting the situations. Background score was excellent, especially during the match scenes. All the actors have done their part naturally and perfectly and the output of their teamwork is simply amazing.

To sum up, the whole team has lived a life forgetting that it was captured in a camera. So folks, go to the theatre, get into ur streets and enjoy. Chennai-28, Best Entertainer of the season.

Unnalae Unnalae

Make ur love a separate entity, define it without any conditions and compulsions. Love is not the one to be considered serious and not the one to hangover all the time starting from the moment when u r in. Make it to flow just like a bird, leave it to behave as it likes to, feel it for the time being and just jump into the next part of ur life and get back to the pace.

A pure love story- picking up from the first scene, the camera never gets away from its theme. Vinay has done a brilliant job depicting a guy whom we see everywhere all around the day. 50% of the movie is worth watching just for its richness and its youthfulness. The camera speaks up most of the time. Songs, which are already topping the charts, have done their justice as far as they could to make ur money valuable. Sada, for the first time had done the best character role in her career. Even though Tanisha seems artificial most of the times she has justified her role in the beautiful climax. All the technicians excelled in their part. Debutant S. Ramakrishnan stands high enough for his dialogues. Especially his excellence is proved when his lines carry the whole of the climax.

Jeeva needs to be applauded for his centric screenplay, which throws apart logical reasoning and just relies on its theme. He didn’t care how the viewers are going to evaluate the scenes that have hell of logical mistakes; instead he aimed only on the jest from the beginning, and that paid him well enough. He has well learnt the trick of raising the expectations towards the climax and fulfilling it completely. However he fails to entertain us with a new subject except with his climax.

At last the movie undoubtedly teaches us a known dimension of Love, but in a different way. Love sweetens more when it is left out as an experience.
