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

Sincerely some thing is very much wrong with Ulaganayagan.I think he carries a very strong head of not knowing what is needed to make a good entertainer or a commercial hit.I presume he has been flaunted about his skills and realization, now he pulls the directors name to add in his cards just for the sake.Where is Ravikumar in the whole movie.What is his role? . Accepted this is not a bad movie but where are the standards which were conveyed to us. Mannar,Madhan,Ambu the three make the Manmathan Ambu.Interestingly titled and we get the excitement of the movie in the first fifteen minutes when Ambu ( Trisha ) is suspected by his fiancé Madhan ( Madhavan) who is a businessman.Madhan appoints Mannar ( Kamal ) to spy on Ambu when she leaves for a holiday with her friend Deepa ( Sangeetha ) to let him know about the secret affairs.How this complexity unfolds to a different relationships is Manmathan Ambu.The movie fades away when we get in to the cruise. Kamal has written screenplay and st...

Two months of No movies .Tight schedules to keep, House shifting and I was left with no time for Blogging. Understandably change of activities but I was carving for a movie.Kites had bad reviews but I expected this movie for Gusty look of Hritik and trust on Anurag’s characters.Sadly this movie ended with nothing and absolutely nothing. Kites is a story about J (What does J stand for ?? Even in passport its J ,So funny ) who falls in love with Linda .who is incidentally engaged with Tony the son of Bobby who owns the biggest casino in Los Vegas. Tony’s sister is madly in love with J and J is there for her money. At one point of time he couldn’t take up his thirst for money and goes behind the Girl .Things mess up and the duo escape from Los Vegas. Things were very good till this. Poetic, acceptable, Refreshing and all but it the second half had nothing to say and it just showed up the end with a unconvincing completion of work. Kites fails badly for the incomplete work in the screenpla...

In these three years since the release of Veyil ,I met Vasantha Balan thrice and I tried to ask him about the Movie Angadi Theru .But he always sounded low and he always projected what he was not.Last time when I met him in “ Paa “ screening, I told him about the “ Kathailagai pesum “ song from Angadi Theru and I could really see his face getting brighter.He should have been very energetic about this creation.I don’t know why this movie was delayed but this movie had come in the right time for Tamil Cinema.After repeatedly hearing the movie’s songs for nearly eight months I couldn ’t wait to watch the movie though I was expecting a emotional ride for two hours.I bow to Vasanthabalan ’s original and brave attempt Angadi theru for its realism and sensation. It’s a heavy walk in Angadi theru ,its about two sales people who fell in love amidst the inhuman work culture and treatment at a TNagar Super store .The film is inspired from a popular TNagar store which was in news...

Munthinam Parthane is a movie directed by Magizh Thirumeni .Assistant of Gautham Menon.Lots of shades of Gautham Menon,Even the locales.But he believes in Tamil dialogues to some extend than his Boss.Muthinam Parthane is not a bad attempt for its outlook.I liked the director’s name ! His maiden venture in to Films starts of with a lovestory which lacks clarity. Sanjay starts of the movie narrating his journey from his late twenties till he gets married.Sanjay falls in love with many girls but he never finds his soulmate .When he accepts some body he realizes his love and concern for the past relation. Some how the movie goes off in a unclear fashion which actually goes terribly wrong about the screenplay.Sanjay settles down with what he was given to him than going in search of the girl. One fine thing about this movie is characterization ,Director had built some realistic characters around the main characters who actually make this movie close to interesting.The character of Ilang...

What the hell has happened to Jeeva ??? Did he really wanted to act in this movie.It looked a thorough entertainer like SMS .But sadly exactly after a year of SMS Katcheri Arambam comes from Jeeva and it makes a very normal rather a boring movie .I always believed Jeeva is the finest actor among the young breeds but just that he isn ’t being lucky enough to draw the big Directors.Even the Mediocre production value SMS was a huge entertainer because of Jeeva and Santhanam .No body could deny it is one of the best movie of last year . Katcheri Arambam becomes a usual commercial movie with Masala ,Don but told in a lighter manner. Paari ( Jeeva ) falls in love with Mathi ( Poonam Baweja ) from the moment he lands in Chennai. Mathi is being chased by Sivamani ( Chakravarthy ) who is a Don of Chennai.He forces her to marry him and he tortures and harms the people who even speaks to Mathi . Paari plays a plot to get his love .End the Villain gets Gyaan through a lengthy...

Love stories in cinema are immortal and Tamil movies had its golden moments with some time-less love stories.Gautham Menon usually gives love stories as passing plots which always have added magic in his movies .When this guy wanted to direct a full length light heart Love story there has to be a difference.And surprisingly there is difference in the way of outlook how we see the movie.VTV is not about the love alone its about two different characters of whom we get to see their moments after falling in love for each other.Vinnaithandi Varuvaya is a poetic name and the movie goes by its name.It can not be called as a Master Piece of Gautham but definitely I was much satisfied than Varanam Ayiram. Gautham Menon’s love with Mechanical Engineering ,church marriages ,one liners continues.But definitely this time much intimate and closer to his heart.Karthik a Mechanical Engineering graduate an aspiring director falls in love with Jessy ,an IT professional.Jessy likes Karthik but she h...

So the wait is over ,Last movie I saw in theatre was Yavarum Nalam and I don’t remember when I had a big gap like this.I was expecting Anandha Thandavam more than the new hero Sidharth and even the producer,I had even gone in the extend of buying the book for some of my friends to read it.I didn ’t expect a debacle like this.Heart wretched I could really see where the movie went terribly wrong.AT is a movie which has no directorial brilliance in it had failed due to very bad screenplay and performance. AT is based on Sujatha ’s Classic Pirivom Santhippom .A story of young Ragupathi who meets his father’s Boss daughter Madumitha when he returns after his education to Tirunelveli . Ragupathi instantly falls in love with the innocent girl Madumitha and He is liked by Madumitha ’s parents who go in the extend of engaging both of them.Things go against with the arrival of Radhakrishnan a NRI who sweeps Madhumitha ’s family with his Dollar life. Madhu marries Radhakrishnan .Hear...

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...

I have read this book Love story Eric Seagel when I was a college student and people were giving me such a over hyped reviews on that.Infact I loved that book for its movement and its purity of love.When I saw this DVD I wasn’t very sure whether it could bring me the magic of the book .Thats the reason this DVD was lying for months unviewes.Friend of mine tagged me to watch this untouched DVD.
