Keep your Popcorns ready
A very Happy and prosperous New year 2009 to All....
This year is going to be crucial for Kollywood. Almost all the big stars have made it clear that they will have a release this year. Here’s a list of the 10 most eagerly awaited films…
AAYIRATHIL ORUVAN
Cast: Parthiban, Karthi, Reema Sen, Andrea Director: Selvaraghavan, Music: G V Prakash
The film is the first-of-its-kind in the genre of action-adventure-fantasy and has been in the making for the last 18 months. Selva has opted for the state-of-the-art special effects and graphics in this big-budget entertainer, which sources say costs around Rs 20 crore.
ASOKAVANAM
Cast: Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Prithviraj, Prabhu, Priyamani Director: Mani Ratnam, Music: A R Rahman
No one, just no one in mainstream cinema portrays gossamer romances and human relationships the way Mani Ratnam does. Now, he is making this film as a trilingual in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu. The film, it is said, is a modern day Ramayan.
AYAN
Cast: Surya, Tamannaah, Akashdeep Saigal Director: K V Anand Music: Harris Jayaraj
A brand new pair with a director who is innovative. If that isn’t enough, the movie will see Tammu doing her first glamour role, while Surya with his six-pack abs will look awesome.
ENDHIRAN
Cast: Rajinikanth, Aishwarya Rai Director: Shankar Music: A R Rahman
Rajinikanth and Shankar are coming together again in this sciencefiction movie being billed as a mass entertainer. The movie is said to be the costliest film being made in India with Hollywood technicians.
GOA
Cast: Premji, Vaibhav, Aravind and Jai Director: Venkat Prabhu Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Venkat Prabhu, in his last two films, has established that he can do films with little known actors. The director is on the lookout for a Hollywood actress to play the female lead in the film. Today, the director is a brand who has an audience for his kind of films.
KANTHASAMY
Cast: Vikram, Shriya Director: Susi Ganesan Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Size does matter, is what Tamil cinema’s first super hero film is all about. It is going to be an outand-out Vikram fantasy film, with Shriya doing a glamorous role.
NAAN KADAVUL
Cast: Arya, Pooja Director: Bala Music: Illayaraja
The film, said to be Bala’s magnum opus, has taken nearly two years to complete. Many believe it is going to be Arya’s ticket to stardom as Bala has the reputation of giving big breaks to his artistes.
PADIKKATHAVAN
Cast: Dhanush, Tamannaah, Atul Kulkarni and Vivek Director: Sooraj Music: Mani Sharma
Dhanush is riding a wave and has worked his way up with light- hearted entertainers. It is an all-new team and the director is known for his masala films laced with comedy. There is not going to be a dull moment in this slapstick, action comedy.
SULTAN — THE WARRIOR
Cast: Rajinikanth, Vijayalakshmi. Director: Soundarya Rajinikanth Music: A R Rahman
It is a bold and daring experiment being carried out by Soundarya Rajinikanth and her Ocher Studios, as she is making a full length animation film with her dad, the superstar, playing the central character.
VILLU
Cast: Vijay, Nayanthara, Prakash Raj, Vadivel Director: Prabhudeva Music: Devi Sri Prasad
The movie is expected to be a complete mass entertainer. Vijay is a one-man army when it comes to providing comedy, romance, action and dance.Vijay is being paired opposite Nayanthara for the first time and his favourite director Prabhudeva is in charge. Their last film together Pokkiri was a big hit and fans are expecting a lot from this film too.

Vaaranam Aayiram - A Big Disapointment
Yes, it was a very big disappointment from Gautam Vasudev Menon. There is nothing good in the movie except for the songs, cinematography and Surya's acting. I didn't see anything great in older Surya as the director explains so that he would be so very influential in his son's life. He loved a girl, proposed and married her. He had lot of debts in the family to an extent that his son graduates and solves all the problems. Smokes and drinks till he gets throat cancer but still he is portrayed as a God Father. That's stupid. There is no proper justification for the younger Surya to be inspired by his father. The movie loses its meaning in that itself.
Surya getting a 6 pack abs, donning different roles were all farce and nothing needed for the movie. Other than Surya, none acted well in the movie. Gautam has not yet found a proper replacement for Jothika, both Sameera Reddy and Divya Spandana suck big time. Simran could have done a lot better.
I do agree that there are very few movies in Tamil depicting a father-son relationship. One of them which I really liked was "Thavamai Thavamirunthu", directed by Cheran. If Gautam had seen that movie he would have definitely re-written the whole script of Vaaranam Aayiram. "Thavamai Thavamirunthu" was a movie in which I was able to identify myself in the character played by Cheran. It would be hard to believe that I cried continuosly for the last one hour of the movie. It portrayed the love between a father and son so very practically that you would cry instantaneously if you loved your Dad so much.
The bottom-line is it was a great performance by Surya and he deserves all the accolades he is getting. Script by Gautam has spoiled the movie and it got very boring at the climax. If you are a fan of Surya watch it once, or else don't waste 3 hrs of your life as I did.

Ghanjni - Music released
The Rahmania strikes again. Music for the hindi version of Ghajini released.
The film has six song tracks composed by the Music God A. R. Rahman , with lyrics by Prasoon Joshi:
* Guzarish - Javed Ali, Sonu Nigam - Vocals
* Aye Bachchoo - Suzanne D'Mello
* Kaise Mujhe - Benny Dayal & Shreya Ghoshal
* Behka - Karthik
* Latoo - Shreya Ghoshal
* Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental) - Instrumental
As always it took some time for the songs to sink in. I cant stop listening to them now. I would have listened to Guzarish atleast 40 time yesterday. Awesome music and commendable lyrics by Prasoon Joshi.
Remember Dec 25, of course for Christmas and also for the release of Ghajini.

Welcome to Sajjanpur!!!
I watched a wonderful movie after a long hiatus... "Welcome to Sajjanpur" written and directed by Shyam Benegal and music composed by Shantanu Moitra. It is a movie about a BA graduate who ends up doing the work of letter writing at his home village. All the characters in the movie surround him and the director has done a tremendous job by writing a wonderful script.
It is an end-to-end comedy movie and you will laugh like hell if you get to understand the dialogues properly. The movie is set up in a Bihari village and the accent was little difficult for me to understand. VD raj was there to my rescue whenever I didnt grasp stuffs in the movie.
There are couple of characters which will be etched in my mind for ever. Munnibai Mukhanni played by Ravi Jhankal and Subedar Singh played by Lalit Mohan Tiwari. And of course the hero of the movie Mahadev Kushwaha played by Shreyas Talpade needs a great deal of appreciation. This is one movie which has no great star cast and no much publicity but the story, screenplay and the way each character is portrayed will easily make it one of the great movies made in Hindi film history.
No wonder Rajeev Masand gave a 4 on 5 rating for this. Dont forget to catch a little cameo by Kunal Kapoor in the end.
"Welcome to Sajjanpur", a must watch movie and the whole credit should go to the director Shyam Benegal.

Kallai Mattum - Lyrics
Kallai mattum Kandal Kadavul theriyathu. - Song from Dasavatharam.
I have become mad of it. I am listening to it atleast 50 times a day after the audio launch. Good music and amazing Lyrics by Kavignar Vaali.
Here it goes....
My most favourite lines are in RED.
ஓம் நமோ நாராயணாய !!!!!!!
கல்லை மட்டும் கண்டால் கடவுள் தெரியாது
கடவுள் மட்டும் கண்டால் கல்லடி தெரியாது (2)
எட்டில் ஐந்து ஏன் கழியும் என்றும்
ஐந்தில் எட்டு ஏன் கழியாது
அஷ்ட அக்ஷரம் ஏற்கும் நெஞ்சு பஞ்ச அக்ஷரம் பார்காது
மூடர் கண்ணில் பார்த்தல் யாவும் குற்றம் தான்
ஞானக்கண்ணில் பார்த்தல் யாவும் சுற்றம் தான்
இல்லை என்று சொன்ன பின்னும் இன்றியமையாது
தொல்லை தந்த போதும் எங்கள் தில்லை மாறாது (2)
வீர சைவர்கள் உன்னால் எங்கள் வீர வைணவம் தோற்காது
மன்னன் சொல்லுக்கு அஞ்சி என்றும் மேற்கில் சூரியன் உதிக்காது
ராஜ லக்ஷ்மி நாயகன் சீனிவாசன் தான்
சீனிவாசன் சேய் இந்த விஷ்ணு தாசன் நான்
நாட்டில் உண்டு ஆயிரம் ராஜ ராஜர் தான்
ராஜனுக்கு ராஜன் இந்த ரங்கராஜன் தான்
(Vaali's original name is ரங்கராஜன்)
நீருக்குள்ளே மூழ்கினாலும் நீதி சாகாது
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ளே வாழும் எங்கள் ஜோதி சாகாது (2)
வீசும் காற்று வந்து விளக்கணைக்கும்
வெண்ணிலாவை அது அணைத்திடுமா
கொட்டும் வான்மழை நிலம் நனைக்கும்
அந்த வானம் தன்னை அது நனைத்திடுமா
சைவம் என்று பார்த்தல் தெய்வம் தெரியாது
தெய்வம் என்று பார்த்தல் சமயம் கிடையாது
கல்லை மட்டும் கண்டால் கடவுள் தெரியாது
கடவுள் மட்டும் கண்டால் கல்லடி தெரியாது
~ கவிஞர் வாலி
Thanks Vaali for these wonderful lines. No lyricist in Tamil film industry can match them.
All the very Best to the Dasavatharam team.

The Remix season
This is the Remix season in Tamil film industry and almost all the movies getting released nowadays has at least one song that is a remix. There has been lot of controversies with these songs after S.P.B’s comments.
Read this for more
http://idlyvadai.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post_20.html
For me there is nothing wrong in continuing this Remix culture. It is a very good way to reach the youngsters today with some Golden Oldies. I guess it all started with ARR’s remix song in “New” – “Thottal Poo Malarum” which to me was amazing. He made sure that the dignity of the original song was kept intact and he proved in once again with his Remix number in ATM – “Pon Magal Vanthal”. I just wish that the other music directors follow the path ARR has shown and not degrade the old songs.
I loved the “Engayum Eppothum” Remix by Yogi B in Polladhavan and I have become a very big fan of him after I heard his remix of “Madai Thiranthu” song from “Nizhalgal” which was released with his album “Vallavan”.
The link to the video of the song goes here…

And here are the lyrics to it…….

Kalloori – A Big disappointment
I watched Kalloori, a Tamil film directed by Balaji Shakthivel and produced under the Shankar banner. After the director’s earlier movies ‘Samurai’ and ‘Kadhal’, I had lot of expectations for the movie but it was very disappointing to see a movie like that from a very good director Balaji and a good producer Shankar.
Plot:
It is the same old story of a college love between a poor guy and a higher class heroine. The film begins in a bus that has a lot of college students heading towards Government Arts College in a small town. A set of friends are introduced as long term friends. There is a small build up to the introduction of the hero (Muthu played by newcomer Akil), who is part and parcel of the circle. All are studying in the same class. They enter into the college for the first time.
In the class room they see a new girl (Shobhana played by Tamanna), who is strikingly different from the lot. She looks fair. She looks sad. She is aloof. The group sympathizes for her and brings her into its fold. The girl soon becomes part and parcel of the group. It is very obvious from the starting that she is going to fall in love with any one of her friends. And to add to this there is a cameo by Visu where there is a Arattai Arangam kind of discussion about the friendship during college life. One girl from the group vows that they will definitely remain friends till the end of their college tenure.
The movie goes on to narrate the college life with very less fun and colour. It shows the strength of the friendship besides showing the backgrounds of the friends. Most of them are from poor background. The hero has an aim in his life. Being an athlete, he wants to excel in sports and get a good job through sports quota to give his poor family a new lease of life.
Shobhana, a rich girl from an upper caste feels for the boy and helps him achieve his goal. In fact every friend does the same thing but Shobhana does it with some sort of special attachment. Slowly the love develops in the minds of both but they chose to put it on the back seat for the sake of the larger friendship they share with the group. In fact the poor lovers don’t even share their feelings. The story moves on to a point when they are compelled by the circumstances to come out with their feelings but life has some other designs.
Analysis:
After I watched the movie I felt that there were lot many mistakes in the story and screenplay. It was not a usual happy college gang which we are used to see on screens. There were very little comedy scenes to enjoy. The movie was so real and obvious that it was almost watching a known story. The casting was not that good except for the heroine Tamanna who has done her role very well. The songs are not that great and they don’t stick to your heart. And the climax was very bad. It didn’t create the effect which the Kadhal climax created. It was a tragic end to the story but the director should have thought whether it was needed for the movie. I strongly feel that the director intentionally made the climax so tragic and it doesn’t fit with the story at all. The climax was very bad and it was very abrupt end to the story. Overall it was a very big disappointment from 2 very good Film makers.
Plot:
It is the same old story of a college love between a poor guy and a higher class heroine. The film begins in a bus that has a lot of college students heading towards Government Arts College in a small town. A set of friends are introduced as long term friends. There is a small build up to the introduction of the hero (Muthu played by newcomer Akil), who is part and parcel of the circle. All are studying in the same class. They enter into the college for the first time.
In the class room they see a new girl (Shobhana played by Tamanna), who is strikingly different from the lot. She looks fair. She looks sad. She is aloof. The group sympathizes for her and brings her into its fold. The girl soon becomes part and parcel of the group. It is very obvious from the starting that she is going to fall in love with any one of her friends. And to add to this there is a cameo by Visu where there is a Arattai Arangam kind of discussion about the friendship during college life. One girl from the group vows that they will definitely remain friends till the end of their college tenure.
The movie goes on to narrate the college life with very less fun and colour. It shows the strength of the friendship besides showing the backgrounds of the friends. Most of them are from poor background. The hero has an aim in his life. Being an athlete, he wants to excel in sports and get a good job through sports quota to give his poor family a new lease of life.

Double dhamaka at Madurai
I switched on the TV today morning after an eventual Saturday night. India thrashed Australia in the T20 match, ManU drubbing Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park and my darling Massa taking pole position in his home grand prix.. I saw a marquee running in Kalaingar TV yesterday saying that they are going to telecast “Mozhi’ for the second time. The movie had started and I should have missed some 45 min.
I went to Madurai this Feb I guess along with my uncle to see few temples in and around Thanjavur. We went to my aunt’s place in Madurai and we didn’t have any plans as such. So I took my cousin brother Jagan to watch some movies. I was looking at the posters outside and there was a theatre complex (sorry I forgot the name) where they were showing 3 different movies, “Mozhi”, “Pachai kili Muthu charam”(PKMC) and “Pokiri”.
Being the greatest fan of Vijay(of course sarcastic) I decided to try out the other 2 movies. I am a person who watches the movies for the directors. Mozhi was Radhamohan’s movie and PKMC was gautam menon’s movie. I wanted to watch PKMC first because of Gautam’s reputation of giving very good movies but because of my cousin’s wish we went for Mozhi first.
Mozhi – in Tamil means language. This should be the best movie I saw this year and I wish this doesn’t remain the best as I am eagerly awaiting the release of “Dasavatharam”. The story is about a music composer who falls in love with a deaf and dumb girl who lives in his own apartment. It is a very sensible movie and the whole credit should go to the director Radha Mohan. Of course Jothika, Prithviraj and Prakash raj did their roles to perfection. It is one movie which you can watch in theatre with your family. I think such movies are becoming very rare nowadays where directors give more importance to masala stuffs rather than giving good movies.I wanted to take my parents to the movie but my mom watched it in pirated CD and my father is not interested in watching movies. So I had to drop that idea. :(
But I wonder how many of you have watched Radha Mohan’s first movie. Any guesses for the movie name?
The movie is “Azhagiya theye”. To me this movie was slightly better than Mozhi. I watched this movie in Udhayam theatre during my final year of college with some 20 of my class mates. It is a movie about a young man who wants to become a big movie director. This was also a Prakash raj production with Navya Nair donning the lead role with Prasanna. The story begins with Navya getting engaged to Prakash raj but she doesn’t want to get married to him. She introduces Prasanna as her boy friend to Prakash raj, and Prakash raj lets them stay together in his house and only after that the whole movie starts. This is one movie where the director had pictured a living together relationship with dignity unlike movies like ‘Salaam namaste’. It is one of my most favorite movies and a must see if you are a fan of good movies.
After Mozhi it was the turn of PKMC. We went for the evening show and my cousin didn’t like it at all. But it was a good movie but bad to gautam menon’s standards. If one watches the movie without knowing anything about the storyline or the character Jothika plays in the movie it will be a good watch. We thought of going for a late night show after PKMC but decided against it.
For ppl in Bangalore I am going to give you some shocker now. We watched these two movies in a A/C theatre with DTS for Rs.20/ticket. So for 2 movies we spent just Rs.80. So when are u ppl travelling to Madurai. :)
