New York (2009)



Newyork is what they call in Hindi as Bakwas in its script. FBI detained many of the Muslims in U.S as suspects and tortured them ,Later released with lack of evidence.In that task many were innocent muslims.Here in Newyork FBI detains a innocent man but watches and plays undercover with a man who is evidently confirmed as terrorist.The whole plot and intention is lost there.

Omar ( Neil Nithin Mukesh ) is detained by FBI in connection with Terrorism.Later he understands that FBI wants him to play the undercover to find Sameer ( John Abraham) who is his collage mate who is married Maya ( Katrina Kaif) who is also Omar’s friend.Kabir khan’s movie claims to have researched a lot about the 9/11 events and the detainment activities carried out by FBI but its left in vain by the very weak screenplay and plot.

Neil Nithin Mukesh is in trouble from the beginning of the movie but he manages to put a show.John Abraham character is messed up totally and I am confused with his selection of movies nowadays.Irfan Khan is a cool customer and he proves here too with his interrogation.But his accent for a Bollywood movie looks very artificial.

Movie moves in a very painful pace and it kills the patience in many shots.Though its brought in very true intention the movie doesn’t have the strength to prove the point against .Movie is confused in its construction,its in a dilemma to be a Bollywood style or as a very serious style.It never strikes chord in both the sides.Movie has very normal dialogues which really makes this movie a boring affair.

I wasn’t convinced with the intentions nor the performances though the team wanted to present a reality which happens in every part of the world against Muslims.Kabir Khan fails miserably in his intentions to bring that due to lack of nerve and depth in screenplay.It looks a very serious disaster for a viewer like me.

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

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.

There were movies which defined the audience and also there are why Tamil cinema stands out even today. Unn

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
