NOW THAT

Now that we are still resisting from seeing kandasamy tells us maturing in terms of movie watching.

This one really got mixed reviews and maybe we will view leisurely.
But the problem with this and erstwhile Dasavatharam kind of Mega budget movies is, what is the point of all the hype about it when you critically miss one or more aspects entirely unattended? Music, if not grandeur, at least not even a decent one is a real sore thing in these movies. And some more woes (vikram singing almost all songs is a case) and what we get is a sloppy final product.

Watched kaminey. A good watch it was.
But definitely it is not as great as all the great reviewers glorify. You have seen these characters, style, loads of time in loads of foreign movies. I don’t know whoever will not be interested in hearing a Heavy Guitar riff to settle before some heavy actions starts. And here Vishal does so many such clever moves. And that’s it and doesn’t stand anything else to be a cult or a redefinition of movie making.

Harris Jeyaraj has this uncanny knack of recycling his stock tunes with loads of international music strewn in. But something about keeping it all mellow with right choice of instruments make a song or two of his interesting. The latest hasilie fisilie from aadhavan is one such. You get to listen some strands of kadhal desam in the interludes, plus some inspired humming from rise up towards the end. But heck it is addictive and is on loop. And yea it doesn’t interfere with your concentration on work. That is good.

There are incidents which happen in life, such trivial for the moment, yet speak loads about the path we are treading. It sometime is like unbecoming of all what you think are. Chances to learn are there though.
