Rajini Magic

Enthiran hits the headlines once again. This time it is for the location the song “Kilimanjaro” in the film which features the lead pair Rajinikanth and Aishwarya rai Bachchan which was shoot in the Machu Picchu in Peru. This is one of the new 7 wonders of the world. They denied the permission for James Bond’s Quantum of Solace shot but really surprising that how Shankar and Kalanidhi Maran combo got the permission from Peruvian authorities to shot in their most beautiful location. Another interesting fact director Shankar has already shot his previous movie Jeans in all the wonders of the world (old one) with Aishwarya rai Bachchan. When our sources contacted Shankar he states that “it was only when we landed there, that we discovered that ours is the first film to be shot in the wonder locale” he also adds that “ It was a very weird bite, which left us feeling suffocated and breathless. Even after we returned to India, the people who were bitten would suddenly feel suffocated. And if that wasn’t bad enough, rashes with red spots from the insect bites were visible for weeks after” anyway we all got a very nice opportunity to see the new wonder in celluloid.

Hi World!!!!!!!!

Sonam has crush on Imran

Jay Dhingra (Imran Khan the hero of the movie) turns up his nose at anything that remotely resembles sentimental even though he works as an assistant to a film maker (Samir Soni) who is the most improbable mush on screen. Enter, the new art director, Simran Sharma (Sonam Kapoor) diehard romantic, she even has a perfect boyfriend called Raj (Samir Dattani) who gifts her a white chrysanthemum( white flower) each time he meets her. Nothing new in the movie, an usual stuffs. The story is very simple and predictable. It’s just like amir n preety love affair story in Dill Chahta Hai. imran and sonam both have a done a great job, good chemistry between them. Awesome pair J Samir Soni's spoof on Karan Johar & Sanjay Leela Bhansali is cute. Samir Dattani is supposed to be a bore no. The dialogues are very ordinary. Music by vishal sekhar mostly peppy numbers. At last an Usual KJo’s movie.

Maddy: In the right direction

Maddy alias Madhavan had a big year of 2009 with his 3 Idiots and he is more than happy about being part of it. Even though Aamir Khan was captain of the ship, maddy is quite happy learning from him. And he is looking forward for his release Teen Patti where he is sharing his screens with Amitabh Bachchan and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley of "Gandhi" fame. Madhavan is very selective about his projects, he is not accepting the offers just like that. In an recent interview he revealed that he got a opportunity once in life time to work with both of his role models in a single project. Maybe that's because of he came a long way. He started out with veteran director Mani Ratnam, then Kamal Haasan, last project with Aamir Khan and now its Amitabh Bachchan. Definitely, he is going in the right direction. He is one of the biggest stars in South India, but he is not yet played any lead role in Bollywood (but few unnoticed), of course he does 13B but it made him familiar but he is a long way more to go. Although he is playing roles with legends, he needs to be noticed separately as an individual performer. I hope he will achieve it soon as he did in Kollywood. Best wishes to Maddy. Keep going!!!

Aayirathil Oruvan: The one among the thousand

First of all, I would like to congratulate and appreciate the "Aayirathil Oruvan" team for their tremendous effort to made such a film. The film breaks all the Kollywood formulas and tried to show the superiority of the Tamil history. The film Aayirathil Oruvan is an historical as well as archaeological one which tells about the journey to find the hideouts, is fraught with traps, some laid by the fleeing Cholas. The first half of the movie is filled with adventurous fun and it is Karthi, who'd stolen the credit. Even though some of the scenes were inspired by Mckenna's Gold, the director doesn't let the audience to think about it with his pace in the screenplay. After the intermission, the pace turns out the face-to-face encounter with the survived King of the Chola kingdom, played by Parthiban. No body could say that he has acted in the film, instead he has lived as a King on the screen. And the movie moves like an arrow from the bow when Anitha turns out to be a descendant of the Pandya kingdom. Those who read the Tamil veteran writer Kalki's "Ponniyin Selvan", could able to realize about Anitha's characterization in the movie which utmost resembled Nandhini's character in the novel. Anitha comes through a pale second, despite brilliant acting by Reema Sen. And the scenes of rape by soldiers is definitely a clear comment on LTTE vs. SriLankan army and out of place. Karthi and seductress Andrea were lost in the second half, by an excellent performance by Parthiban and Reema Sen. The movie ended up with lot of unanswered questions such as who(m) is the one who deserves the title? But definitely the credit should go to Parthiban or Reema, and the end card with "Cholan Payanam Thodarum", which apparently says about the sequel. Apart from the director two others share the credits they are Cinematographer Raamji who gave a visual treat and composer G.V.Prakash Kumar who gave life to the movie by his marvellous background score.But the director has to answer it. On the whole I can rate the movie as 4 out of 5 and hats-off to Selvaraghavan for letting us to hear good Tamil.

Tailbit for Non-Tamilians: "Aayirathil Oruvan" is the recently released Tamil movie by Selvaraghavan, Casting by Karthi, Reema Sen and Andrea.
