Shah Rukh Once Again Speaks Tamil


Shah Rukh Khan's latest flick Ra one had been dubbed in Tamil and released. The film receives lukewarm response from the viewers inspite of rajini presence. His next film DON --2 is been dubbed in Tamil and got to be released for Christmas. Since there is no direct Tamil film release yet to be confirmed shah rukh Don2 will gain that festival Box office collection. Hope for the Best.

Tollywood Star's Walk In To Kollywood

In Recent years telugu films are running like tamil film in tamilnadu. particularly in chennai and suburbs. Telugu super stars Maheshbabu, junior N.T.R, Pawan Kalyan's Film are getting released in more than 20 screens. Unless until there is a opening for these stars there won't be this much demand for screening. So Telugu stars think of entering in to the kollywood by doing a Straight film. Most of the stars are in touch with the top tamil directors. Since they are grown up in chennai most of the stars knows tamil very well they can easily communicate with directors very well. Right Now Director vetrimaran is about to direct super star Mahesh babu film which is supposed to be a bilingual. And Rana is also in verge of seeking a good script to launch him in tamil.

Tamil Cinema Report - September 2011


Mangatha Hangover proceeds to September first week also.  The trade says  Mangatha collected somewhat around 80 cr. In 30 days. But as usual lot of small films like Mathikettan salai got released and gone without trace.  I couldn’t able to get any data for those small films released. So let us proceed with some notable film got released on sep2011

1.ENGEYUM EPPODHUM
A.R. Murugadoss / Fox Star production. With Some good combination of artistes like Anjali, Ananya, jai, splendid cinematography, Soothing Music, and excellent screenplay direction Engeyum eppodhum excels in all department and become a sleeper hit of September. After the release of the film new screens been added in some area shows the success of this film.

2. Vandhaan Vendraan
After the Success of “ko”  Jeeva’s Market sours high. But his success didn’t sustain .After his Rowthriram box office failure his lean pace continues in “vandhaan vendraan” also. Film fails to impress the audience and received poor response than his previous film.  This film has done some good business for the producers due to the success of Ko.  But not to the distributors

3.Ayiram vilakku
Sathyaraj, santhanu, and some decent technicians and reliance release but still don’t make any impact in the Market. Film has got some good line. Because of mediocre screenplay the film fails to impress and gone without and notice.

This Month one and only hit is “Engeyum Eppodhum”

Mangatha Jump over the Hurdles

Theater owners association is planning to stall the release of Mangatha. Due to the loss they beared by "vaa..Quarter cutting" and "azhagar Sami kuthirai" from Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine. But now the scene has changed upside down. Mangatha is going to be released by Studio Green of Gnavelraja. Who produces surya, and karthi's movie. Now the theatre owners are having a second thought. If we are not going to release mangatha now they will lose the upcoming karthi and surya film in their theatre. By this move Dayanidhi Alagiri's Mangatha will Jump over the hurdle and get released by Sep.

Tamil Cinema Report For July 2011

Of late July month has become a lucky month for Tamil cinema.  This year in July,
  • Arumbu Meesai Kurumbu paarvai,
  • Music Director S.S.Kumaran’s Theneer Vidhuthi,
  • Dhanush’s Vengai,
  • Vikram’s Deiva Thirumagal,
  • Ragavendra Lawrence’s Kanjana,
  • M.Kalangiyam’s Karungali, 
  • Gowtham’s Asst, Anjana’s Veppam
were noteoworthy releases. Apart from these films, more than a dozen films got released too. But they could not sustain even for a week in screens.


Arumbu Meesai Kurumbu PaarvaiA Small budget film from Bharathiraja’s Asst Vetriveeran. Despite the face the film was well received amidst critics, it failed to impress the audience. Due to lack of publicity the film did not capture the attention of the audience. The only gain which the producer got over this film is good recognition for his acting. Yes, the Producer Mohanbalu had acted in a pivotal role in this film.


Theneer  VidhuthiFirst directorial venture of Music Director S.S. Kumaran. Sadly, film failed in all departments.  Strangely in music too. The director might have thought that ‘Kalavaani’ type of comedy will work out for him as well. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t click. Has become a disastrous failure.


VengaiThe most expected film, as it is from Dhanush and Hari’s team.  Sun TV bought the distribution rights first and returned back to the producer because of some problems.  Hari’s Magic doesn’t work out this time for Dhanush. Run of the mill story, and screenplay plays the spoilsport for the viewers.  This film falls into an average movie category


Deiva ThirumagalOne of the most expected films from Vikram. UTV procured the distribution rights but couldn’t able to sell the film as the distributors thought it might be a serious award movie. UTV boldly took the challenge and released on their own.  With good publicity and word of mouth reports, audience throng over the theatres.  Even though there was a strong arguments getting over regarding the plagiarism of I am Sam, people get hooked to Sara.


Kanchana –Muni -2Before the release itself this film turned out to be a profitable project for Lawrence. He sold both the Tamil and Telugu rights to a handsome deal. Rama Narayanan purchased the Tamil rights for around 4 crores and sold all the areas to distributors. In NSC area itself the film collected 3crores till now. Expect to do some where near 5 crore in their area and 30 crores totally. Kovai sarala and Devadharshini’s comedy worked magically in this horror flick draws the women audience towards the theatres. Distributors says Kanchana has even crossed the Arundhadhi’s collection. A great feat indeed.


Karungali
Dir. Mu.Kalanjiam donned the grease paint and also directed this movie. Been in production for long time. Anjali is the only known face in this movie. The subject related with adultery, drugs, problem with issueless couples. Because of the cheap titillating scenes the film falls down to C grade sex film. Fails to impress the audience.


Veppam
Gowtham menon’s Asst  Anjana’s directorial debut. Come with new premises for a women director. Drugs, slum, betraying etc..,etc...  Problem with the screenplay plays the villain for this film. Joshua Sridhar’s soothing songs, sadly,  fail to impress visually.

Apart from these films minimum of 3 to 5 Tamil films, English, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Tanglish films have been releasing every week.  3 to 5 films every week is a disastrous for small budget movies.  By the time, the public gets the feedback about the movie by word of mouth, the film is not in theatre because of poor collection. These films must be given some breathing time to stay in the market. Unless until these releases are not controlled, small budget movies, future will remain bleak, as it stands now.

Food And Life


Food & Life

My dear fellow foodies, 

when I painstakingly search for a good food joint for yummy mouth watering flavoured food , often I have seen people preaching 'We should eat to live not live for eating'. Perhaps they want to establish themselves as not foodies. But trust me, once we are inside the food joint, they are the first ones to take the plunge by jumping on to the bandwagon, myself could not help but smile at their love to good food.

Half Yearly Report Of Tamil Cinema -2011


Half Yearly Report of Tamil cinema 2011
January
“Thenmerku Paruvakkattru”  which the film was released last year. Commercially the film is not a hit. But it received   a very good critical acclaim from the media.  And get into the film festivals. In due course for Pongal we’ve got some major releases. Vijay’s kavalan, Dhanush’s  Adukalam, Karthi’s  Siruthai, kalaingar’s “Elaingan”, sollitharava. Out of these films Adukalam receive good critical acclaim. Dhanush note worthy performance, Good making and screenplay by Vetrimaran, Sun TV’s aggressive marketing dosen’t give the enough collection. With lot of hiccups Vijay’s Kavalan got released. Inspite of all those hindrance it has got some good opening.  But failed to become a note worthy commercial entertainer.  Kalaingar’s Ilaigan is a washout in all the areas. The first day night show has been cancelled in many theatres. In spite of this  the film made to run for more than 100 days.  The one and only hit is karthi’s siruthai. A non stop entertainer. With santhanam  karthi performance and some racy good numbers help the film to become a super hit of this year.  Sollitharava  is a clean washout. After pongal S.D.Sabapathi’s Pathinaru got released. Some good poster designs, draws the audience in to the hall. But fails to impress.
Super Hit : Siruthai
Average   : Adukalam, Kavalan.
#####################################################################
Feb 2011
Durai Dayanithi’s “Thoonga Nagaram” Miskin’s “yudham sei” Gowtham Vasudev menon’s “Nadunisi Naikal’, Dhanush’s “Seedan” and some small budget film got released this month. Even though “thoonga nagaram’ got some good content , because of the lack of good screenplay fails to impress the audience. Gowtham Vasudev Menon’s  “Nadunisi Naikal”  creates lot of expectation among the viewer’s before release. Fails. Subramania siva’s second outing with dhanush “seedan” a Malayalam remake. Fails to impress the viewer. The one and only film which has got some good critical acclaim, and a commercial benefit to some extent is Mishkin’s “yudam sei”. Prakash raj’s “Payanam “ only gain some good revenue in Multiplexes.

Average : Yudham sei
#######################################################
March 2011
World cup, School exams, makes the big budget film to wait for their turn, lot of small budget film got released in this month. Most of the  small budget film gone without trace. Jeeva’s “singam puli”, Kullanari Kootam, Rasu.Maduravan’s “Muthukku Muthaka” been note worthy relese of this month.  In spite of Jeeva’s presence Singam puli fails to impress. With wide advertisements Kullanari kootam try to draw the audience into the hall. But fails to withstand. March’s un expected hit is Rasu.Maduravan’s “Muthukku Muthaka”. A Family tear jerker. With tv serial kind of stuff received some good revenue in b and c centres.
Average : Muthukku Muthaka.
#####################################################
April
K.v.Anand’s “ko”, simbu’s “vaanam” Nanjupuram, Sun tv’ Mappillai, prasanth’s Ponnar Sankar got released this Month. Nanjupuram which the film was in the boxes for more than year got released. A small budget movie in digital fail to raise interest even though released through Rama narayanan. Prasanth’s Magnum opus Ponnar sankar impress with some good publicity.  Technically film impress, fail to impress in content, that resembles in collection. Suntv’s Mappillai is another failure from sun- dhanush camp.  The film is a super hit for suntv alone. Simbu’s vaanam results resembles the result it has got  in telugu original version.  Critically acclaims with average commercial gaining.  This month one and only superhit is  Ko. With some interesting  plot, screenplay, Harris jeyaraj’s  foot tapping music,  Eye catching visuals, with all the ingredients, the film impress all type of mass become a super hit.
Super Hit – Ko
Average : Vaanam
############################################################################
May
Sun tv’s  Engeyum Kadhal, Dayanidhi Alagiri’s “Azhagar samyin kuthirai” Kalavaani’s producer Nazir’s “Ethan”, Kandeen,  and some small budget movies. Exotic location, super hit songs, with good production value  Sun tv’s  “Engeyum kadhal” fails because of the poor screenplay.  Writer Baskar sakthi’s short story turns as a “Azhagar sami kuthirai”. Film receives critical acclaim from all sides of film critics and literary group , but fails to impress the common film goers.  Ethan got delayed release because of the deficit . Did some average opening because of vimal’s presence. Santhanu’s Kandeen fails to impress.
#################################################
June
Small budget films like “Anmai thavarel”, Festival winner “aranya kaandam”  Bala’s big budget bonanza “Avan Ivan” , sathyam  cinema’s “180” Arulnidhi’s “Udhayan”, Jithan Ramesh’s “pillaiyar koil kadaisi theru” got released.  Aanmai thavarel is a straight lift of a Brazilian movie trade. Lot of tamil movie have taken the plot from that movie. But fail to give the reality.  Festival winner, and critically acclaimed “Aranya kaandam” failed commercially. Arulnidhi’s action outing fails to impress the audience. Jithan ramset’s pillaiyar koil kadaisi theru got unnoticed because of the old type screenplay.  Even though stylish and good technical value sathyam cinema’s 180 fails to draw the interest of the audience because of the over ridden cancer concept.  Baal, visual, aria “Avan Ivan” opens with a big bang. Bang goes of without trace because of the content of the film. Film critics and the viewers never expected this type of non content film from bala.
##################################
Over All Super hit  : Karthi's Siruthai, Ko
Average : Adukalam, Kavalan, Muthuku Muthaga, Vaanam

10 things to learn from Japan.


10 things to learn from Japan.

1. THE CALM

     Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.


2. THE DIGNITY

     Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture. 


3. THE ABILITY

     The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.


4. THE GRACE

    People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.


5. THE ORDER

    No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding. 


6. THE SACRIFICE

    Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?


7. THE TENDERNESS

    Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.


8. THE TRAINING

     The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

 

9. THE MEDIA

     They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

 
10. THE CONSCIENCE

      When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly!
