11 Choices of 1.1 Billion Indians

After browsing through many web-pages, what I see is posts/tweets/pictures/share/talk about are one from the below,

1. Sachin.

2. Cricket.

3. Rahul Gandhi.

4. Politics, scams and scandals, corruption.

5. Salman khan.

6. Movies and music from movies

7. P C Sreeram.

8. Photography.

9. Chetan Bhagat.

10. Writing a book.

11. Love.

Sports: -

Sachin is one representation for India in terms of sports across the globe. Unfortunately/fortunately cricket is not our national sport and neither is Olympics recognizing cricket a sport.

So one thing that I wish to India develops itself to get recognized as a sports 'developed' nation. A population with 1.2 billions and counting should at least have one world leader in every sport. We do have people competing in world level still we have less medal to show it.

I can see slowly we have started to think sports out of cricket. Hope in coming days we have one Sachin in every sports from India. May there be more glory during the olympics.

Politics: -

The Indian politics is another big department/research that most of them follow across the globe. yeah! The world's largest democracy. I am proud of it.

Just completed its voting for the 16th Lok Sabha. Results yet to be published (May 16 2014).

Our Politicians are known for their plus and mostly minus. The minus here is the scam and scandals of the government authority right at the time of election's getting themselves exposed.

Many want their idol to be a ruler of the largest democracy. Basically politics these days has come to publicity, fan following, increase in economy of one self. Hope the new government takes India one step better than the old one.

Fine Arts: -

On the big picture, 'arts' in one word is getting in to the Indian Film industry.The most popular industry across the continents.

The Super Star, Khans, Kapoors, Kumar's, Bachans, Hassans, many more. They have done their piece of work to make sure our presence is felt and make sure the other millions away from home feel home.

One thing that I am happy about is the outcome of live plays, enacting a play or staging a drama for live audiences and the westernisation effect to stand-up comedies. These have been in the past but now the reach to common man is more and is available to general public in their regional way.

Hope other art forms too prosper in coming years. Good that my nephew did not want to study engineering instead wanted to do some journalism, film making, some paintings and a small basics of music. I had to tell him all that you want to study were mt hobbies. Hope he gets what he wants. Good that kids these days are well tuned to their interests than forced to do against their wish.

Science and research: -

I remember Dr.Kalam, Dr. Baba in the research. Rest all are known only if I Google them or if I hear them on an elite show or from a news of inventions and discovery that is shown as special shows on TV.

The discovery channel and the National geographic channel bring you the details from across the globe on any scientific product be it mechanical, automobile. Most of their cultural shows, road trips are shot in India for the Indian subcontinent to watch.

Why an Indian channel is not coming out with a dedicative science ot cooking show? Instead of telecasting some soap serial.

Hobbies: -

Whenever you ask someone to write his or her first information such as extra curricular activities or hobby most of us would have stated photography in these parts.

One good thing is every one is a photographer and everyone is a critic. For a professional photographer he is paid to do the job. Is it your hobby or profession? Hobby, then you get obsessed with it for only a particular time. Profession, then you are going to perform only for the money you are paid.

I too had this photography as a hobby, but later learnt planting too helps and reading books too. Collection of Indian rupee coins made my hobbies go one step higher.

Sort your hobbies and do not stick to one thing alone that almost everyone wants to become.

Writing & Lit. : -

Last thing that come to mind is an Indian writer. We have many writers. Good bad and ugly writers still they are one. To my knowledge CB was the first to open the doors telling Indians anybody can write. I know my language or use of vocabulary are too less still I am trying my bit to write. I was not a book reader but, I was left with no choice, when my brother published his first book, it was a novel with just 200 pages, that is when I came to know the books from fellow Indian authors can be related to life events, being Indian, they too think of the same.

The above ten things are the first point that we Indians usually try to express our views in most cases. Either we try to debate as we know more knowledge on these or our media covers the most, covering up many other details across the country.

What I see from all the web-pages browsed, I just conclude, 

The more qualified you are the more skillful you got to be. Follow any interests, any stream of work, any hobby, but make sure you give your 100%, then expect in return. If you are not ready to give your 100% then please do not try. Concentration, dedication two things that need to go hand in hand.

Not my request though, but would be better if followed. 

3

3 is a psychological thriller film directed by Aishwarya Dhanush, who makes her directorial debut with the film. It stars her husband Dhanush opposite Shruti Haasan, The film features music scored by Anirudh Ravichander while the cinematography is handled by Velraj.

Being a psychological thriller Dhanush performs his best as he did for his brother in Mayakkam Enna.

The director has failed to tell why the hero turn to be psycho is it because of the true love that he has for his girl or because his friend had left him without informing?

There are many questions left unanswered during the first half interval for which you find the twist and turns happening in the second half where you come to know that the hero is affected with Bi-polar Disorder. Oh! Man another part of Mayakkam Enna starts here.

~A dog dies hero cries, heroine tries the audience dies!!! ~

Songs are a major plus for the movie all the tracks have some originality in it but pictured poor. The best example is po nee po Pictured at sabarimala.

Kolaveri Di comes out with a better Kolaveri 

Trying to make it look good for the youths marriage happens in a pub and romance happens all time with a psychic touch.

Shruti Haasan has done too much to turn herself in to a school girl which is evident in her physic for which she has lost pounds and too lean to become a 12th standard girl, only thing is that she couldn't bring the feel of the script like whenever you watch her cry you fell too bored to leave the hall even. She could have done better.

Happy for Dhanush that he has just given his word that this will be the only movie he is going to act under his wife's direction.

The hero passes but the director fails since you have such a lively trailer and all the scenes you watch in the trailer is up and over in the 1st half itself.

Siva karthikayen has performed his comedy track with the one liners which giggles you and takes you to your schooling days.

Prabhu has proved he is Sivaji's heir.

Rest of the cast is all added masala to the biriyani.

Cast:-

§ Dhanush as Ram
§ Shruti Haasan as Janani
§ Siva Karthikayen as Kumar
§ Sunder Ramu as Senthil (Friend of Dhanush in Mayakkam Enna)
§ Prabhu as Ram's father
§ Bhanupriya as Ram's mother
§ Rohini as Janani's mother

Final verdict:-

Biryani happens to be delicious by its looks and decorations but in to your mouth down the digestive system tastes poor at the end.

I would rate the movie as 2/5.

It would have been good if the director had taken the story as it was in the 1^st half rather bringing in psychic kick for the second half. This is evident how hard it would have been for a debutant.


Other unlucky movies for Shruti Hasaan which turned out to be a big failure in Box office.

Hey Ram

Oh My Friend

Lingusamy in Vettai

Vettai after watching the movie I did have anything coming to my mind regarding what to write? How to write?? I don’t mean that the movie is bad but it’s the same old script inky pinky ponky father had a donkey father died donkey cried inky pinky ponky, But later thought to review the attempts taken in the movie both positive and negative ones.

First comes to our mind is The Director Lingusamy known for his racy scripts which take the three hours in a matter of puffs you get in to the theatre, you have a pop corn done 1st half is complete, then have a large coke the climax yes ! The villain dies yeah!! The hero wins J what.. The..?? Movie is done ?! What then ??? I gave 120Rs for just to drink a coke and to have popcorn ??

Same thing happens here in Vettai too 1st the film has Bi’s in all, like
2 heroes
2 heroines
2 producers
2 villains

Lucky the music is from 1 Music director and cinematography by 1 camera man.

First Hero Madhavan happy to see a hero without 6 packs. Maddy joins with the same director after Run(2002) a gap of twenty movies to the first. Maddy plays the story line of the movie and once again proves that he is worth a mass actor who can do roles both the ways romantic and action. Plays Husband to Sameera Reddy and Cop.



Not to forget the second hero Arya, who is the screenplay of the movie. Who is a jobless rogue.

The story line needs to be revealed here, after the death of their father, a police officer, and the elder brother (Maddy) takes on the same job by request of the younger (Arya). The older brother rises to fame in his job by having his younger brother secretly punish suspects and save victims for him. This angers two of the village's biggest mob bosses (Ashutosh Rana ) and (Muthukumar) , who begin to seek revenge on the elder brother. After getting severely beaten by them, the elder brother loses his fear and becomes physically stronger through training from his younger brother. How the brothers get back at two gangs and protect their families form the rest of the story.




First heroine Sameera Reddy who plays the wife of cop is introduced with a black colored half sari and a song with her younger sister. The movie has two songs in a sequence the heroes and the heroines takes first twenty minutes of the movies shows Lingu’s speed. Next twenty minutes to introduce the villains done 1st half. Best part is the light weight comedy of Arya with Amala Paul who happens to be his wife later.so both brothers marry the sisters which all started from Vanaja Girija (1994).

The character of both the heroines have suited that they look like sisters in real and the costume is also suited well that they look chic and in the legacy attire makes us believe that they are sisters in real. Technically Nirav Shah has concentrated a lot on the location of Thoothukudi and its surroundings but fight seems to be taken at Binny mills a known location for most of the Tamil movies. The color correction done in the movies is cool.

The characters are made such a way that the first hero is too sensitive to violence where as his wife is straight opposite to his character which is visible whenever she meets Arya you will know once you watch it in theatre. Dialogue delivery of Amala is better than Sameera may be the experience of Mynaa takes in account.



Amala Paul who is in for a full role after Mynaa has done her part well, she makes a good pair to watch with Arya and lip sync for the songs have matched well and looks clean.
Yuvan had done the Music and has given heavy BGM’s for the Villains and the heroes.
Editing done by Antony happy that he has understood the script and edited as per the director’s thought.

Cast:-
§ Arya as Gurumurthy

§ R. Madhavan as Thirumurthy

§ Sameera Reddy as Vasanthi

§ Amala Paul as Jayanthi

§ Ashutosh Rana as Annachi

§ Thambi Ramaiah (Constable)

§ Muthukumar as Mari


Vettai also concentrates on its title which comes after 5 minutes shows the masala and mass that is put in by the director. At the outset Lingusamy is known for Entertainment and mass movie with a romance at a corner which is all present in Vettai. If you wish to pass your time watching a sound fight and peppy number and a light comedy watch Vettai.



My rating will be 2.5/5

The negative part is make-up could have been made lighter for the heroines since Sameera is expected to be how she was in Vaarnam Aayiram at least when they are at home and Nasser could have been used better but Nasser takes the screen and audience away in the 3 scenes he comes, shows why Kamal Hassan has quoted “I am Nasser and Nasser is Kamal“.

Final Verdict:- Light but weight Vettai.

Nanban Da

As we all have seen 3 idiots for at least 3 times now we know what happens in each and every next scene that is going to follow like the entry of the hero at last who is the scientist and what might have happened on Sept 5th.. But it’s what you say as a remake.
Nanban:

The first and foremost thing comes to mind is its director Shankar, How come remake from such an ace director? Better he took the remake else the film would have wobbled in the middle. No changes made to screenplay only the place of visit (Locations) have been changed as per the preference of the Tamil audiences.

Then if it’s Shankar then off course his Set's comes to mind the road paintings in ‘Anniyan’

The body painting in ‘Sivaji’ and glass house for the song ‘Sahanna’. Snake and ladder in ‘Mudalvan’ and similarly in this film he had to paint a train for the song ‘asku lasku’. All the songs have Shankar’s touch.

The second thing is Vijay, cool boy in recent times after bodyguard Vijay has done the role as it is in the original version performed by Aamir Khan. Each and everything little expression has been taken care by Vijay so that he should not over perform or under perform so he has done it what was required from him in simple ways what the doctor ordered. Good to see him like the old boy next door even after 16 years past Poove Unakkaga (1996) and Thulladha Manamum Thullum (1999).

Then it’s Jeeva playing the role of sharman joshi though both have a similar resemblance the timely comedy are good to watch and he has performed as to the expected level.

Srikanth the illustrator is good with the Tamil version happy that Maddy did not take up the role else it would have fizzled out. The emotion scene normally makes you cry and Srikanth with Shankar have done their bit to make sure the touch of Maddy is still present in the movie.



All film will have a hero and a villain who turns to be the good guy because of the hero’s thoughts same here it’s the college Principal Mr.Viru sahasrabudhe sorry its Virumandi Santhanam (Virus) role done by Sathya Raj himself happy to see him without the hair vig and the way he speaks is quite difficult but still had to equal the performance of Boman Irani in the original version.




Then last known is Sathyan proves he is worthy an actor. He has to change is dialogue delivery from symphony Kongu Tamil to a Californian Tamil.



Usually in Shankar’s film heroines are not much concentrated except for the songs, but here the heroine comes along till the end of the movie that’s a notable point and Ileana doing her first with Vijay and second in the Tamil industry has done her part but does not make the impression like kareena Kapoor does but still has done her part may be Vijay and Sathya raj do a more than her.

Harris doing his job but still the music sounds that it’s already present in some other movie but a country obsessed with film you cannot complain copying of the tunes and remaking the same music. The effort taken to bring the chorus has worked well and the title song has come out well that it still lingers in your ears even after the movie is over.

All songs with the video are good to watch for the audience.


Movie Cast:

Vijay as Kosakhi Pasapugazh (Panchavan Parivendan)
Jeeva as Sevalkodi Senthil
Srikanth as Venkatramakrishnan
Ileana D'Cruz as Ria Santhanam
Sathyaraj as Virumandi Santhanam (Virus)
Sathyan as Srivatsan (Silencer)
S. J. Surya as Panchavan Parivendan (Guest appearance)
Anuya Bhagvath as Swetha Santhanam
Vijay Vasanth as Paneerselvam
Indrans as Virus's assistant
Manobala as 'Librarian' Bose
Uma Padmanabhan as Venkat's mother

The plus for the movie is the title itself rolls out with funny calligraphy with smiley’s J J all around. Then specific Vijay Intro a fight and a rocking trembling dance which is followed in most of his movies is not present here, Equal importance to all characters no one is given an upper hand over the other. Sound mixing by Oscar award winner Russell pookutty.

The minus points of the film is that if you remember 3idiots scene by scene then Nanban is not your movie for the festive season because the screenplay and the script is the same as in its Hindi version.

Final verdict Nanban~PongALL IS WELL



Online comments:


Nanban is an engaging film with noble intentions. Don’t miss this film Nanban has got more than something for everyone. It is very unlikely that a person finds such a wholesome package unsatisfying. All is absolutely well! Nanban is worth a watch. Nanban is the perfect feel-good fare for the festive season; despite minor glitches all is well. It is a Shankar's Sankrathi feast for the audience!
