On the night of Oscars!!!



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 ask me why we are so excited to get the award of American Movies.I had set the alarm for 06.30 am to hear the acceptance speech from him .

Being an Indian - It is indeed a gr8 feeling. His humbleness and down to earth attitude surprises all of us many times.

The great thing is he is also giving back his contributions to the society / world of music in terms of the initiatives like - the KM Conservatory of Music which is to be appreciated

Karthik, my apologies for using your comments section for my story, but....

Got up at 06:30 (after sleeping at 03:00 am) only to see that Star channels were blocked on Hathway. Called the cable-wala at 06:45 (he was really puzzled as to why a call at such early hours), and he asks me "enna sir, edhavadhu cricket match-a". I said "Oscar award ceremony", and I could visualize his irritated facial expressions. After a 5 minute anxiety, I had not missed much, was able to see it from Supporting Actress award.

Resul got the award and it was definitely a happy moment (and his acceptance speech too was really good), but when AR's name was announced for the first award, I started clapping involuntarily. Was really happy to see this recognition on a world stage. Icing in the cake was to hear some Tamil words at the Kodak theatre.

Sabari,

The same problem occured for me with Hathway,I was able to see only from Rasool's award...I didnt call though ..because i had a bitter experience with that guy when i called once in the morning...some how when i was looking at rahman i could remember how this man had grown and now at oscars and people are yelling Jai ho....Kudos man..I was bit emotional when he said " ella pugazhum eraivanukkey " i dont know when the kodak theatre will hear tamil words again...but it was really emotional..

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Image
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 ...

Mirugam (2007)

Mirugam was a much speculated and much criticised movie before its release for various reasons other than the main movie and I took the option to choose though I didn ’t have any interest to watch this particular movie .There are two things which should be mentioned about the movie first you can not avoid comparing this with Paruthiveeran and director Sami has tried to rework getting inspired by Cult classic Paruthiveeran .Secondly I can not understand will there be any human like Ayyanar in our day to day society.Why was this movie made?It self is a big confusion.Is it for awareness or for narrating a story of a beast?.If its awareness we should be very sorry for the director ,I think the world has moved a long way from 1987 to 2007 with regard to awareness of AIDS. Mirugam is a story about Ayyanar (New Comer Aadi )who lived notoriouslyas a protagonist during Late 80’s according to the film.He lives a life of a sandiyar who pounds his mother abuses every body and lives a life ...

Marudhamalai (2007)

Every time when I watch and enjoy a movie with usual formula of Romance ,Comedy,Macho Villain, ferocious Chases ,Challenges I always get reminded that I am a Tamil movie fan above any thing. Maruthamalai reminded me of the same.Its a same nonsense formula with Cop Hero challenging a Villain who rules a town unofficially not allowing the Government to conduct elections for Sixteen years.How illogical and attrocious! Movie stars Arjun , Vadivel , Lal , Nasaer , Nila but its undoubtedly Vadivel who steals the show.Like in Winner , Thalai Nagaram , Vadivel had given a splendid performance which made me spell bound with his body language and expressions.I could clearly say one more hit because of Vadivel ’s Comedy sequence.He is Ettu Egambaram A.K.A Encounter Egambaram (Like Vetayadu Velayadu DCP Raghavan ) in Marudhamalai and the screen explodes from the moment he appears.From the fifth minute to nearly on hour it’s a complete comedy feast for viewers. Arjun and Vadivel com...
