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

For quiet some time me and my brother had been watching some intense movies and thrillers were the kind of movies which fascinate us.If you asks us which are some noteworthy movies in it the list would surely include Seven, Fightclub ,Zodiac.We have built a level of fascination towards David Fincher ’s movies and we discuss about his works on a detailed manner.Curious case of Benjamin Button was expected by us over a year ,after we read about it in Wiki. Some where I read “ You would grow Older when you see Benjamin grow young “ that’s the story of Curious case of Benjamin Button.Its a fairy tale of a man who ages in the reverse physically.He is born as a eighty year old child but when time goes by he becomes young.He grows in the care of Quinne a nurse of a oldage home.The movie goes as a narration as old age lady Daisy hears the diary of Benjamin read by her daughter.Daisy remains with Benjamin till his death to love him and take care of him. Some times you don’t know how did thing...

Am I getting too reactive about it ,I don’t know.I may be.From “Sottu Nilam Doi “ to BAFTA and then to OSCARS.Criticise or argue,Oscars are recognition at the highest level with respect to Marketing and Publicity.Redcarpet for the Man we loved for years from Roja.Movies got grand opening because of this man.Movies ran packed houses for his Music. You don’t have to sit and compare his music with yesteryear's Maestro music ,We need to accept his music soothes and makes us happy and young.I don’t know western Music to argue about on a comparative factor.For some days my IPOD plays MasaKali and Jaiho repeatedly.Slumdog may be a movie with extraordinary recognition but his Music is definitely not ordinary in Slumdog. My friend was saying “ You guys ( Tamil ) have already lost him ,Now Bollywood also will loose because of this movie “ True it is.Rahman after this will be for the international.As a average music lover,I wish him the luck and wishes for the night to get coveted Oscar.Dont ...

One thing for sure that I have learnt from the past years of movie watching is don’t manipulate any thing.When I went for Delhi 6 it was the same.I tried manipulating the movie before even watching it.Some times I feel I am getting over aggressive on movies which creates hype.Delhi 6 is a movie from the heart of Rakesh Omprakash Mehra .He had ambitiously made the lives around Delhi in the movie ,which is more of an characters than the story. Roshan ( Abishek Bacchan ) a half Muslim Half Hindu NRI who brings his dying grandmother to Delhi to spend her rest of her life in the place which she left years ago. Roshan quickly finds himself along with new friends and new relatives in Delhi.Director has made numerous characters whom he had been with for years to bring out the culture and heritage of Delhi.The part of Delhi is horrified by rumours of Kala Bandhar ( Black Monkey ) which creates trouble and its invisible also.Hindu Muslim conflict arises due to the Monkey chapter and Rosh...

Come to think of it, expectations from a sports movie are not that high. It's usually about the village guy journey from obscurity and failure to being recognised, appreciated and feted. It all ends in a nailbiting climax.Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu follows the same premise but this time its about a team as a whole . Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu is set in a village near Pazhani where the kabadi team which is ambitious and daring but they are far off from Victory always.Mari who is a farm servant also mingles with the team but doesn’t get the place in the team.Mari falls in love with a Girl who comes to watch Festival in the village.They love each other but get separated as the girl has to leave the village after the festival.Mari decides to wait for her.Meanwhile the Mari gets in to the Kabadi team and the team by luck participates in state level tournament due to help of Proffessional coach Kishore.How things turn up for the team and how the girl reaches Mari is the rest of the movie. Its good...

பலர் வியந்திருக்கலாம் ,ஏன் இன்னும் நான் கடவுள் விமர்சனம் இந்த பகுதியில் வரவில்லை என்று.நான் படம் திரை இட்ட அடுத்த சில கட்சிகளிலே பார்த்து விட்டாலும் ஏனோ என் மனம் ஒரு வித திருப்தி அடையாது போல் இருந்தது.பல முறை யோசித்து பார்த்தும் ,அடையாத ஒரு அதிருப்தியை அடுத்த சில நாளில் மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை தனியாக சென்று பார்க்கலாம் என்று முடிவு செய்து பார்த்தேன்.இரண்டாவது முறை படத்தை ஒரு ரசிகன் என்ற முறையில் அல்லாமல் ஒரு விமர்சகனாக இருந்து பார்க்க நினைத்தேன்.அதில் வெற்றி அடைந்தேனா என்று தெரியவில்லை,ஆனால் பாலாவின் நான் கடவுள் ஒரு மைல் கல் . பாலா என்ற படைப்பாளியாக இருப்பது ஒரு சுலபமான விஷயம் அல்ல.பாலாவின் படைப்பாக இருப்பதும் ஒரு சுலபம் அல்ல.அதற்கு உரிய வீரியமும் ,விஷயமும் அடக்கி அதை ஐந்து வருடம் கழித்து வெளியே வருவது அசாத்திய நம்பிக்கை உரிய காரியம்.பாலா என்ற மனிதனுக்குள் இருக்கும் கதைகளை நாம் என்றுமே பார்த்தது இல்லை.பாலா என்ற படைப்பாளி நமக்கு காட்டும் உலகம் நாம் பார்த்திராத உலகம்.சினிமாவை அறியாத உலகம்.இந்த முறை உலகம் கொஞ்சம் மாறுப்பட்டு இருக்கிறது,இதை நான் ஏன் சொல்கிறேன் என்றால் உலகையும் அதன் வாழ்கையையும் ...
