Om shanti Om (2007)


I don’t understand still two things 1.Why do Hindi Films are celeberated as the Brand Indian Cinema 2.Why do Hindi film makers make fun of Tamil cinema .Let me sound so simple this is not for taking the Hindi movies for Criticism ,I really like watching Hindi films but Tamil films in a categorical way is much superior in the recent past.I don’t have to mention the names,I do accept the industry of south is sticking to a formulae which is irritating but still there are movies which adds up the equity of the industry.Hindi films can not be compared with Tamil films ;Hindi movie makers are good marketers whereas Tamil movie makers are good creators so there should be a obvious outlook of different prespective.The above is a opinion about a particular scene in Om shanti Om where Sharukh Khan plays as a Tamil actor (In one shot)

Lets come to the movie .How could I stop going to movie when I heard good reviews about the movie all around.I am was deceived once again.Sharukh Khan and Farah Kahn friend ship has troubled me for selecting to watch it.Om shanti Om is about Om(Sharukh Khan) a Junior artist in 1970 and Shanti(Deepika Padukone) who is a leading actress of 70’s.He is mad about her and she is mad about Mukesh Mehra(Arjun Rampal) ace producer.Mukesh murders Shanti and Om also gets killed on the same incident,On the same time a child is born in the face of Om and with the same soul.Should I have to continue still.Villain ,Superhero,Ghost all in one pack .

I don’t remember when I last watched a multistarrer idiotic and super cranky movie in the recent past.I know movie is already a big hit and I am still wondering whats there to be in such a hype for the movie.Technically I don’t have no apprehension about it as its bunch of experts on the respective field.But the whole problem lies with the director who has epitomized as a great movie (Interviews in CNN,NDTV ).Farah kahn ‘s Main Hoon Na was a horrible movie and I feel she has a strong belief in revenge and that is so evident in so called OSO.

This movie would have been a superflop if it was with out two reasons.1.Sharukh Khan carries this movie from the scene one ,the way he has characterized this role is amazing be it Humour,Romance .He tries to entertain along with S.Talpate and Kiran kher to an extent.Some scenes are lovely which is being shot in 1970 carrying out the body language of 70’s film life2.Deepika Padukone .Amazingly refreshing for the character and she has is stunning in the movie and but for these two the movie would have been a super flop of our decade.Oridnary songs ,Choreography (Even directed by Farah Khan ),Irritating comedies (The comedies in 70’s were justifiable with the time factor) I don’t find a laid down reason for it being a movie even.

I am not against the Ghost factor but what is the justification to drive a time less relation I don’t understand.Love is what director has claimed in the movie but the whole relation looks so foolhardy .I have enjoyed logic less movie but it takes immense talent to make a entertaining movie with out logic.I am sure Farah Khan can not be with that.I don’t consider her as a director.The Movie starts of its own takes some twists ,some sadness in the middle and assembles everybody and then ends in a happy note.What is the role of the director ?

I was not able to stop praying for Deepika’s re-entry after first half and no wonder why the Indian captain was stumped by her magical smile .Let me end this .I am totally out for a pathetic drive when watching this movie.I would be very sorry for some one who watches OSO afer hearing a great reviews all around.Dont expect any thing ,Watch this movie for knowing how a bad director handles Mega stars.
Rating :4/10

5 Forgotten Tamil movies (70's 80's 90's) to watch during this lock down available in Youtube

Image
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 out even today. Unn

With Silambattam Simbu needs a hit badly and he does what he knows the best.Dance and Action. Silambattam is a out and out Tamil Masala movie shot in a village atmosphere.Incidentally the Tamil cinema is able to break the Friday lucky day to release this movie on Thursday. Silambattam is the same old Family revenge story. Vichu ( Simbu ) is an innocent temple priest who is brought up by his grandfather ( Nedumudi Venu ) as a coward. in a village.His grandfather hides him from knowing the past.He comes to know about his father Tamilarasan who was Killed twenty years ago in a family riot by a young boy Thuraisingh . Prabu who is the brother of Tamil finds Vichu and Vichu turns as Tamil and takes revenge. First and foremost of this movie that this movie can win is because of Music and some versatile choreography , Yuvan and Simbu combination has worked again and this time it’s a youth package with some great variety of dancing from Simbu . Simbu has displayed his maturity in

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves
