Cigarette Ban In Cinemas? Get real!!

Our Central Government has decided to ban depiction of cigarettes in films. Great news, isn't it? The Government has taken a step forward in making a cigarette free society! I fully appreciate this one-small-step-for-a-man-a-giant-leap-for-mankind thing! If the Govt. cares, I have even better suggestions:
1.Ban murders from films; nobody will murder others anymore.
2.Please show child birth; children are no longer born, without the depiction.
3.Ban marriages in cinema; we can control population to a great extent, and finally,
4.Ban showing human beings in films; we shall all cease to exist!

An Award for ME?! OMG!

Unbelievable! I received an award! Thanks to Karthik, I now have to live up to it. You'll pay for this Kartster!! I know, there are some rules to be followed, but me being relatively new and a little absolutely lazy, I'll follow the rules once I'm more eligible. For now, I can tell you about Karthik, who is very creative and excellent in English, but probably you know him more than I do. So, what am I gonna do? Nothing except blog more! Thanks dude!

Saroja!!! Saamaan Nikaloooooooo!!!!!

Yesterday I had the chance to go to Saroja, the second VenkatPrabu flick. I have one word for the movie- "Hilariously Wonderful" *That makes it two words, you idiot!* *It does? Well, I'm not good in maths, and do shut up, you dirty mind voice of mine!*

Ahem... Where was I? Ah the movie! After my pitiable experience with Satyam , I was very cautious with Saroja. I read every piece of review I could get, and only after convincing myself that I'll not be tortured again, did I go to this movie.

I got the tickets(Rs. 50 for II Class!! )easily. A little too easily, so that I began to doubt the reviews. Praying to all the Gods, I went in, and the movie started. The first three songs of the movies were spaced a mere 15 mins apart! The songs were good though, thanks to Yuvan. The movie was hilarious, right from the entrance of Premji, till the screens go blank, after the end card. What I about the movie was the way in which comedy was inserted into even the most serious possible scene. Particularly, Premji has ruled!! There is this one scene: S.P.Charan(another excellent performer) is having a solemn word with the picture of his wife, afraid that he may never see her again and apologising for whatever he may have done. Premji puts a comforting hand on his shoulder and and after a moment asks: "Yar sir indha figure?"! The theatre erupts!

This new style of comedy, very similar to English movies, tried for the first time in Tamil cinema, makes us do what we're supposed to do-
VengatPrabu has some talent! Another interesting thing to mention is that all major artists from Chennai-28 made an appearance in Saroja.

Two of the most important ingredients of Saroja are the BGM and Camera. Yuvan has done a fantastic job with the bgm. I doubt the movie will be such a success without the bgm. The cameraman Shakthi Saravanan has also done an excellent job in making the film look rich. If you plan on seeing the movie on a dvd, make sure you do so on a HD(High Definition) DVD. I couldn't help but get amazed at what this man did with the camera.

If you are awaiting a call letter, preparing to leave TN for the job, or just lazing in the house not knowing what to do, I strongly suggest you to see this movie, but be warned, your ribs are gonna suffer a lot of tickling!

I simply Saroja! Thinking of going again. See you there

I like police movies. Kakka Kakka is one of my all time favs. Saami is also a good flick. Just when I thought there won't be anymore cop flicks, Satyam came. With all the hype given, 6 pack abs and all, I expected it to be a block buster, or atleast a good flick. I was a little disappointed when it was said Satyam was flop. I had seen some great films like 'Anbe Sivam' (Kamal, my all time  fav.)  become commercial flops due to the bad publicity given by ppl. So I made up my mind and saw the movie.*gasp*

The first thought that came to me: Ppl were not wrong this time. Whoa! From the first scene where he flies from one side of a bridge (not the end, the side) from nowhere, grabs a criminal and flies through the other end, till the last scene where the introduction song is repeated, the movie sucked. I had initially seen clippings of the movie in various reviews and the scenes had been good. Now I realized with horror: those were the only good scenes! Nayanthara, though flickers for a few moments, is nothing but a commercial element that only helps in slackening the pace. Even the children are of no use. It only shows how pitiably tamil cinema is dependent on commercial features. The concept of comedy remix is good though.

The fights was where I found that there are places on earth where gravity can be defied. The fights were so long that I was chatting with my bro til it ended. Seriously. No need to mension the car chases.Vishal has built his body. That's justified. He has shaved his head and mustache because his mother died since this is tamil cinema. That just sucks. The last scene totally lacks logic and i wondered who the idiot was: hero,  the villains, the police standing there, or the audience watching it.

When at last the movie ends, you are smiling, not for the movie, but for something else you had been chatting about, or even if for the movie, for your foolishness on spending money. I need not say what the few good scenes are, for all the channels have already telecasted them. So I suggest, see only the scenes in tv, and be content with the feeling that Satyam is a good movie.
