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

Legends remain Legends . Shyam Benagal is one of the legendary movie makers of Indian Cinema and at this age he has created such a beautifully crafted movie which will remain as one more feather to his crown.Welcome to Sajjanpur will be remembered for its factor of freshness and versatility for the years to come.Yet another stunning movie from Bollywood. It’s the story how a Letter writer Mahadev ( Sherayas Talpade ) of a village Sajjanpur to a Novelist Sukhdev .He writes letters and posts for the villagers where he meets different emotions and different stories which is directly or indirectly involved.He falls in Love with Kamla ( Amrita Rao ) his school day buddy .She writes letter to her husband who is in Mumbai and has not turned for four years. Kamla is not only the character which is dealt in detail.Every character in the village has some thing to say.May it the Munni Rani who is a eunuch or Compounder (Ravi Kishan ) or the Ila Arun every body carries different stori...

So enough of hearing Nakku Mukku in FM and in trailers ,its finally out in screen.The movie by surprise grabbed huge attention because of Chartbuster songs from Vijay Antony.The flicks are a quiet a rage in Tamil Nadu for quiet some time.Movie not being a usual stuff delivers some difference in the characters. Sabha is a usual young guy with troubled memories of his family ,Meera meets Sabha from an accident which was unknowingly caused by her.Meera takes care of Sabha in the hospital.When he gets cure he immediately falls in love with Meera and so is Meera.Unexpected things happen for Sabha when he goes to Ooty for a football match.When he comes back he comes to know Meera is dead.But he never believes that she is dead.He carries her and runs from Cops and Meera’s family and lives in his own world with her.

I like Cheran,I know he is a poor actor but he is cautious in doing his roles .That part of him has given some good roles for him.In Raman thedia seethai I guess he is completely deceived by the story.It started off well got messed up in the middle then revived and then messed up.Its sad that a good plot became a mess due to some bad characterisation and poor direction. Venu is a guy whose all marriage proposals gets failed either because of his past story which he confesses to the Girl in the first meeting or because of his stammering speech.Venu meets many women in his life who rejects him unknowing of his well mannered character.At one point he gets disturbed and becomes low in confidence when his marriage gets stopped because of a mess.He meets Nedumaran a blind Radio Jockey who gives confidence for him to look at life.He travels to Nagercoil to meet in regard to his marriage .He meets some unexpected people which changes his way throughout . Cheran struggles to act ,it’s a charact...

I was sick for the whole week and I had many back logs to clear off ,I started with Righteous Kill but the night show worsened my health.Poi Solla Porom was not a bad choice when I was back in track in the weekend.Poi solla Porom is second movie from Vijay who directed Kreedam.Frankly I didn’t like his first movie as it had many traces of typecast movie and obviously it had the heroism which was unavoidable when you have Ajith in the role. Poi Solla porom is about the dream of a middle class father who wants to own a house for his sons.But his land which was registered in his name gets illegally occupied by a Gang.Nedu mudi Venu as Sathya Nathan who has scripted a good comeback to Tamil movies after a very long time.His son Uppili (Karthik ) doesn’t bond with his family and he wants to fly to U.S .He does every thing with a grim attitude and he never spells what is in his mind.He even moves with his girlfriend Amritha with a very sober mood always.When his dad gets in to trouble with B...

I remember picking this DVD only because of the name and I was not aware about the movie.The DVD shop fellow promised it to be a classic thriller and I believed his words.And to his words this movie is a thriller of a different kind which impressed me from the beginning. A strip club owner Cosmo Vitelli (Ben Gazzara ) because of his addiction towards gambling gets embroiled with a gang which forces him to murder a Chinese Bookie.He is never shown as a addicted person in the movie ,but we were made to realise given the situation before the girls he is forced to prove himself a winner,which puts him in to trouble and making him in debt. Cosmo Vitelli is a proud man,he takes pride in describing and conducting his club.He makes life with girls and takes their life seriously .His conduct towards them is transparent with out intentions other than to entertain their life.After having a life at club it is not a easy task for him to kill a man which he doesn ’t know.But he runs in the dark an...

Expectations is one thing which can not be avoided for movies.Righteous Kill is one of highly expected movie of the year in Hollywood as the legends of acting AlPacino and Robert De Niero are acting in a full fledged paired movie for the first time.They have never shared a screen more than five minutes .The last time they appeared was in the movie Heat which was for five minutes. The very obvious question one would ask after watching this movie is why the hell in the whole prestigious career of Pacino and De Niero they choose this movie for teaming up.Two Veteran detectives Turk ( De Niero ) and Rooster ( AlPacino ) work together to investigate on a serial killer .They doubt that they have got the wrong man in connection with a case which they solved years ago.Young guys John Leguizano and Donnie Wahlberg ,fellow detectives are convinced that Turk is the serial killer .Righteous Kill explains why the name was pronounced for the movie. AlPacino and De Niero are shown to us as a...

When I started watching this movie I was presuming that its going to be a kind of travel story .I don’t have an idea on what basis I thought about as such.But it was totally opposite about a man how he slogs in his life and how he strains to live. Merchants of four seasons is about a movie which speaks of self compassion and love .When the guy Hens Epp( Hans Hirschmuller )returns home after a military stint he is not being received with warmth by his Mom.That defines the whole movie.I had no idea why he was treated as such in the beginning.He is terminated from Police force because of lust with an woman.He marries and sells fruits but he is being humiliated for he being shorter than his wife.He is been bombarded with the incidents which happen around him ,which is completely created by him.He has no body to blame or pity.Its him who has created the loneliness which he doesn’t want to.His wife leaves him and he is put in to enormous amount of pain by the depressive act with in himself....

This is been a fabulous week.I don’t remember when I had a packed week like this watching all great movies.I am telling you if you miss A Wednesday you are missing some thing .Its not only about the movie its about all of us.A Wednesday is a movie which is from my point is the best of the year so far. Bollywood is rocking this year and I see a lots and lots of talents erupting to make movies with style and brilliance. Mumbai police commissioner Prakash Rathod receives a anonymous call about the bombs which the man has planted across the city. Nasurudeen shah who is the caller tells about his conditions for it ,to give the details about the bomb.He wants four terrorists to be released from Jail . Prakash Rathod puts his two of his men Arif(Jimmy Shergill) and Jai(Amir Bhasir) in the job to transport those terrorist.What happens is some thing which is unexpected and unimaginable. The movie is told in a different style and it can match any of the Hollywood movie.The movie takes t...

I have to be a immensely unlucky guy if I would have missed this Movie.As I am watching all nonsense movies I would have missed this neatly made entertainer somehow.Thanks to my friend Divagaran who urged me for this movie.I had a severe headache after a nap but some how managed to reach to the near by theatre. Arjun(Vinay) who returns from London wants to start his own business with his friends with the money he had sent to his father before his dad's death.He finds the money had been missing in his account ,Later he finds that his father had another family and then he comes to know that his dad had brought a house near Madurai.Arjun reaches out to the second family to get the documents.He finds his father's second wife Chandrika(Malavika) and her daughter Brinda( Lekha Washington) to get the document as he wants to sell the house.Brinda objects Arjun to sell as she demands that money to persue her education in US.Lekha seeks the help of the Guna who is a don in Madurai.Unplea...

If you are very selective in watching Hindi movies you have to add this in your list. Amir is not a movie which tells you about the glamourous bollywood and songs.Its a movie which defines a new dimension for Hindi cinema.It has been critically acclaimed and I had missed it when it got released as the show timings were in the afternoon Amir is a story of a Doctor Amir ( Rajeev Kandhelwal ) landing India ,who is dragged in by unknown voice which is been hearing through a mobile phone which was forcefully handled to him.The voice threatens him to do as per his instruction , Amir does it as his family’s been hijacked by the person. Amir runs as per the instruction and in the end the movie tells you a answer in an unconventional manner. This is a struggle of a single person who is been followed by terrorism ,crime and shades of extortion.He runs for his family and he is been put in to enormous amount of blackjacking and compulsion which is vividly expressed by Rajeev Kandhelwal .Th...

Saroja is a movie for which I went with Zero expectation and came back as a fully satisfied viewer. Saroja has made Venkat Prabu in the league of successful directors after this consecutive success.This movie is a remake of Judgement Night an 90’s English movie starring Cuba Goodwing Jr.But I am sure only lesser population will be aware of the orginal movie. Saroja by is a neatly made movie copied from Hollywood comparing other movies. Four friends Jagapathibabu ( Saran ) Ajay (Siva) , Ram Babu ( Vaibhav ), Ganesh ( Premji ) set out of Chennai in a Van to watch Cricket match in Hyderabad.When they find the roads were blocked due to an accident they take the alternate path to Hyderabad where they get tangled in a Kidnap drama of Saroja who is the daughter of Business man Prakashraj . Sampath and Gang who had kidnapped Saroja chases the Girl and the guys who rescue her. First of all a great applause to the director VenkatPrabu .He has done it once more in a unconventional mo...

I don’t remember when I wateched a movie more than once.Probably in my college days might be, but all the other second time watch had been very coincidental.But after many days my mind was urging to watch Rock On second time.This time to enjoy and not watch the movie.I have been listening to this movie’s songs like a chain all along while in office,working,while blogging ,while gymming .So I felt its worth to write about the music which has taken away for these much days.When you end up with the movie ,this immediate message appears on the screen “ Don’t download the music Buy the CD “ ,Yes its worth each penny ,for four things 1.Shankar Ehasaan Loy Music 2.Javed Akthar’s unconventional lyrics 3.Farhan’s voice 4.The Guitar piece in Tum Ho Tum song Rock On: This song sung by Farhan comes as a celeberation of the band in the back ground.The lyrics tells the mood of the band to sing,enjoy,celeberate and free the world with music.” Dil Kehta hain chillake Ga un ,sab apne kidiki kolke sune ...
