athuva varrathu......

Saw Saroja on the first day with a bit of expectation. The movie was a disappointment. There was nothing refreshing in the movie. Every character was shown to have a story to them which least connects with the viewer. It was irritating too when the protagonists just keep hovering around their lost path and the abandoned place beyond reason. Yuvan disappointed big time. Silly movie it was.

As usual technology & internet that can make anything vulnerable has led to the release of first pictures of Endhiran. The first feel you get off them is that another typical shankar movie kind movie. Anything else is to be expected? Just on coincidental notes the other stalwart Kamal has also commenced his photo shoot of his magnum opus (a cheap expression by itself these days) Marmayogi. Both had a set pattern of operating in the industry, especially after 1995 since when I watched movies eagerly. With rajini the pattern is just as predictable as the number of active cells on George bush’s brain. With Kamal though it is not as unpredictable as the sub prime crisis, still a pattern as to the equivalent of political graph of Dravidian parties can be drawn. Kamal keeps acting in a chain of comedies (mostly) interlaced with his ambitious (that sometime turns to be good) movies. A kadhala kadhala before a Hey Ram, Panchathanthiram & PKS before Anbe Sivam & Virumandi. A VV before Dasavatharam are examples. But the recent trend of Tamil movie breaking greater boundaries (both within and outside India) has up heaved both of then to a higher pedestal. Now budgets, collections are least and last of the issues. On that note one did Sivaji and the other did Dasavatharam. Without entering the debate about the success of these movies, what really succeeded was Tamil movie industry. It is being more widely accepted and acknowledged. With that new pedestal and the basic that technology can only aid a good film these stalwarts hopefully give us the right entertainment.

SUBRAMANIAPURAM :Loved it, Liked it like hell.
DHAAM DHOOM: Well am taking the risk of even being labelled as inhuman for reviewing the dead (Director JEEVA). But this movie made me feel just "Good that the man is no more to make another atrocious movie and waste resources".
