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

I feel very satisfied when the plot is adopted from Tamil literature. I loved Sasi ’s Poo and now Suseendran ’s Azhagarsaamiyin Kuthirai adopted from Writer Baskar Sakthi ’s work, is a simple and fantastic movie of goodness and humanity. Its been some time I had a good time on a Sunday afternoon which pushes me to write the review after watching the movie. Suseendran is here to stay , simply he is growing movie by Movie.The best thing about him is that he has got the thinking to look simple , rather than going big and failing miserably , like Susee Ganesan . Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai is about a Village , which is preparing for its annual Azhagar Festival where the deity parade happens around the Village. The wooden horse goes missing and the blame game starts. The villagers manage to snatch a real horse which actually belongs to a person Azharsamy whose bread is dependent on ...

I always wanted to have a carrer in sales.When I first joined sales I never thought I would get in to a new life style of Sales jargoans.When you are new to the field ,the first day would be the most exciting and horrifying day in a sales career.No sales person is the same ,they are unique and every sales person teach you a different ways to sell yourself and your product.In typical direct sales most of the time your product doesn’t sell but you who gets sold.Thats when customers become loyal.Jaideep Sahni and Shimit Amin takes the clue from this one line to make a movie with the extremely talented Ranbir Kapoor.They succeed too with their not so fancy ,simple story. Harpreet singh is the Rocket singh sales man of the year.A average mark guy who gets in to computer sales ,not with standing the illegal ,unofficial trades of SALES PITCH ,gets kicked by his boss and fellow collegues.Harpreet never wanted to go in the wrong way works on a decision to sell computer on his own ta...

Some times after you have achieved a lot in your career ,you give options for others to experiment in you! Its like grandfather lending his time and patience for his grandchildren.Amitabh has nothing to prove for himself .But if he has to take one movie in which you wouldn’t see BIG-B as Amitabh is Paa.Because Paa is a director’s movie and Paa goes as the finest experimentation done by Balki with Amitabh which succeeds as a gentle breeze.This movie brings the 60+ actor in a completely surprising performance ! Paa ( Which should have been named Maa) tells the story of 12 year old kid Auro who is affected by Progeria who was born due to a love tale between Vidhya and Amol Arte .Vidhya goes away from Amol for his selfish stance about having child.Thirteen years later Amol a MP , meets his son in a school function . Its not difficult to enter in to the world of 12 yr old Auro who is affected by Progeria .He is sharp,witty,emotional,funny,naughty and serious too.He has question ...

Due to IPL there were no big releases in the month of April, I guess the movies are back .This week had three releases .I chose to go with trusting SasiKumar .Pasanga is a different movie for many reasons.Its about kids but its not only for kids.Pasanga has the flavour to every body to enjoy.If you think its a prequel of Subramaniapuram or a movie inspired from City of Gods then you will be for a surprise when you watch. Pasanga is about school life politics and rivalry between two kids Anbarasu and Jeeva(Sriram) who are in their school.Jeeva a notorious kid of Maths teacher Sokkalingam.Anbu(Kishore) a brilliant kid of a middle class father.Both fight for their supremacy and Anbarasu’s good attitude brings jealous to Jeeva and his friends in their class,Jeeva hates Anbu and slowly the fight between the kids spread to their family due to unexpected incidents.Pasanga ends by the kids getting united through their family and some understanding between them. Pasanga is the flavour of the va...

I hate Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Devdas for many reasons.Its a grand and luxurious portrayal of a stupid guy which was no where close to reality.When I was watching that movie I was thinking the same ,why in 2000’s you have to make such a kind of period movie which has no meaning to what the reality of history.Abhay Deol does this with style and we can understand the movie from the beginning what a modern day Devdas would be. Dev D is the modernday version of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic Bengali novel Devdas conceptulized by Abey Deol and directed by talented Anurag Kashyap.Story is the same ,but they have lot of real incidents which have been grabbed inside which gives the feel for this movie.We know who is Devdas.Who is Paro and Chandramukhi /Chanda .But they have different stories behind them to become the characters what we see in the movie. I was discussing with my friend about this movie and the character Dev and Paro.He said bet you wouldn’t like this guy Dev and he wa...

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...

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...

When RadhaMohan’s Mozhi released it was a revelation in Tamil cinema for its presentation and feel good factor it adhered. The magic of Mozhi was because of Performances , sensational dialogues ,screenplay and Music.Here the movie has a feel good factor but where are the dialogues ,Music,Characters which are needed for this movie.I was surprised to see Radhamohan movie with such a very normal screenplay.The movie fails to find the momentum due to very bleakly defined characters. Raghuram loves his daughter Abi and he is possessive about her ,Anu who is the wife of Raghu is a bold and practical .The story is told from the child hood of Abhi from the day she is born till to present day where she is married.This is about a emotions of a father who finds difficult to accept the growth and changes of his daughter.He finds tough to accept Joginder Singh who Abi loves and wants to marry.When he understands his daughter he realises his childlike behaviour . Prakash Raj in a very controlled and...

Saturday afternoon DVD is always fun ,even ordinary movies might excite you .With some good movies your weekend is assured with joy.Movie freaks would agree with me totally.Boy A is one such good movie which made my weekend .

The story puts up a very strong question of why the boys were troubled kids and their consequences of their action .It also asks very clearly about their second chance to lead a normal life and not to stereo type them on their past.It digs in to the life in the past and present and ends in ...

It’s a shocker and its real .You can get many things what you want from this movie.It sweeps down all your expectations.There is no drugs,no blood ,no boss of bosses but still it’s a Martin Scorsese movie.Who else its Martin and Robert De Niero in a stunner for me .I was expecting a comedy film but it wasn ’t a comedy movie nor a Scorsese kind of movie.This movie was made right after Sensational Raging bull from the same pair. King of comedy is not your usual movie which you can sit back and relax. Its dark and it has black comedy which has to realised .Rupert Pumpkin(Robert De Niero) , a struggling and aspiring comedian who wants to prove his comedy skills through Media chases Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) a popular Comedian and TV anchor.Rupert tries through many means to reach him to get a chance for the show .When he reaches through unauthorised manner he is been humiliated by Jerry.Rupert along with his fellow friend Masha Kidnaps James and he puts very straight that if he has to ...
