Nobody said it.This time it's all me.Life isn't like in the movies.Life... is much harder

There used to be days when I used to watch a movie twice, thrice or even five times in a theatre. Every one growing up watching Rajini, Kamal would definitely agree; Aboorva sagotharargal, Batsha, Kadhalukku mariyathai or many to name it.  It may be completely not possible today with the schedule and the amount of new content which streams before you. Some movies bring nostalgic moments when they are telecasted today. For example, I usually have it with Bombay, I remember watching it atleast 30-40 times in theatres in and around Tirunelveli. I have rehashed some of Tamil movies which is available in Youtube today which you should watch it again.  These were some of the movies which gave huge inspirations to film makers, script writers or be it any one loves cinema like me. Test it , first 15 minutes of any these movies and I bet you will sure complete the whole movie. There were movies which defined the audience and also there are why Tamil cinema stands...

This stay at home you really need three things apart from your skill, learning etc..  1. You need a good play list of songs 2. You need a good headphones  3. You need a good watch list of movies I will try to post some genuine recommendations which can be your best binge watch for the day, available in Netflix, Youtube, IMDB TV, Prime, Apple tv, Hulu.   The 100 foot journey  The story follows the rivalry between an Indian restaurant which is  100 feet away from an upscale three-Michelin-star restaurant in France, run by a rude chef named Madame Mallory (Mirren).  Movie has a very earthy music by AR. Rahman and has a high profile casting. A perfect feel good movie, which may not be a great foodie movie and but a must watch for your Sunday afternoon, giving some good details about Michelin chef and Indian cooking. Running time : 122 minutes  Starring : Helen Mirren , Om Puri, Juhi Chawla , Manish Dayal. Safe Ha...

Why do you wait to write a review  when the movie is too good. Why do you want badly watch First day show and let it sunk in you to speak about it.   6 months and 3 Rajini movies, I am not used to these much Rajini Movies in a year. Neither any of older fans than me. Petta is a detox for long wait and tired shows of Rajini. You will be able to forget Lingaa or for that matter any of his bad movies ( Second half of Kaala) too for this.   Petta makes you feel like a mashup, may be that’s what you call it as Rajinified today. Its not about Karthik’s fanboy image or What is needed from Rajini. Its more to do with how fans wants to see their beloved star on screen   Rajini and what hits the right senses when the mammoth star walks on screen. Karthik subburaj seems to know it well like his previous directors SP Muthuraman or P Vasu. What you witness is the return of   Guru shishyan, Panakkaran, Aboorva Ragangal, Batsha, Murattukalai , Payum puli...

This year has been an year of daring movies which redefined screen play with social element and quirky screenplays. I havent watched the December releases especially Adangamaru, Kanaa.  1.                Ratchasan 2.                Pariyerum Perumal 3.                Merku Thodarchi Malai 4.                Kolamaavu Kokila 5.                96 6.                Sometimes (Sila Nerangalil) 7.                Naachiyaar 8.         ...

Twenty minutes in to the movie and you don’t see the swag or any mass scenes. You aren’t waiting for superstar surprisingly nor his mass scenes, instead you are hijaked to a different elation from the man who made us believe   Tamil movies can be bigger and can bring grandeur to any audience. There used to be days when the first day Shankar movie watching had numerous sub stories in the theater halls and tea stall reviews. Explanation of mammoth production value, flashbacks, social message, Star value what not. Put every thing together you get 2.0 in an uniquely awestruck world which is built by this Director. If this man can make this well conceived marvel with 500 Crores, You are made to nod that he is here to make bigger movies in his style.  2.Point 0 is not a Rajini movie, but an impossible movie with out him. There is no one under this part of the world, who can pull the star value which Shankar Shanmugam wanted for Chitti or Vasee or 2.0 . The inimitability...

Lots have changed after Kabali. Kaala comes amidst tensed  political interviews. But some how this draws a line why Rajini kanth can be mass crowd puller when it comes to movies even in a strongly content driven movie. If you have strong opinion about Rajinikanth as a person don’t waste your time in making a meme, because Kaala has different intentions.  For those who are speaking against Rajini for all the stunts and interview, Kaala is totally a Pa. Ranjith movie. Ranjith is lucky enough to bring Rajini again in his themed movie, I would take a diversion from his thought to bring this thought from a movie stand point and why this movie mattered a great from performance and script.   Kaala is a big movie, for its performances, characters and thought;   but it has humbled   itself in writing and   stereotyping of multitude scenes. Ranjith has problems in delivering powerful dialogues, does his stage interviews or anger convert as verbiage? Ab...
