It was drizzling here in Bangalore on 21/09/09 . I was going to Pushpanjali Theatre in K R Puram with Praveen to see Unnai Pol Oruvan. So had a cool drive the whole way. Reached and we bought the tickets and settled down inside the theatre well before the movie started. All the time what was running in my mind was how different Kamal Hasan would perform compared to Naseeruddin Shah and Mohanlal compared to Anupam Kher. All the 4 actors are really superb. If we made a comparison then I feel we would give them all the same marks. I was also curious on what plot they have taken for Unnai Pol Orruvan . In Wednesday they had used the serial suburban train blast as the main theme. Ok now the movie started. They have followed the same script with just changing the Mumbai train blast to Coimbatore and Meenambakkam blast. Somehow did not feel the punch in it which the Wednesday had. Kamal's performance. I had no choice but to compare it with Naseeruddin Shah. What I felt is Kama...

District 9 is a highly fictitious film. But you get involved so much that you begin to think as if something real is happening. The director Neill Blomkamp has clearly captured the Human mentality when it comes to finding something new. Here in this film it is the Aliens. The mentality of the tech savvy educated and also the uneducated people are clearly shown. From the start of the movie you think as if something real has happened 20 years back and it has been captured in that manner with interviews and news footage. The story is quite simple. But the creativity it has is simply mind boggling . I would rate this one as the best alien movie which has been filmed so far. Wikus van de Merwe   The film starts with an evacuation process for the aliens from a place called district 9 to district 10. The cause of it is, it is near humans and it has virtually turned into a slum. So Wikus van de Merwe played by South African actor Sharlto Copley is assigned as the head for the fie...

Lyrics are simple.. But I like it.. click on the picture to see it big and then read on... Or sing on.. The second song is Tharai Erangiya .. I liked this song when i heard the first time itself. But after seeing the movie this became my second favorite and my first favorate became  Mazhaiye Mazhaiye .. Sung By Suchitra.. Keep reading and keep your comments flowing.. May not be useful to you.. But It is very useful for me..

Me along with 3 of my office colleagues (Praveen, Sankar and Prabhakar) decided to go to a film yesterday (16/09/2009). The pick of the day was Eeram. The new film from S Pictures. We started from office at 6 for the 6.15pm show. Battling the Bangalore traffic we somehow reached the theatre at 6.20. Parked my bike and ran towards the hall. I was hearing the " Mazhaiye mazhaiye" song while parking from outside. I wanted to watch that song as I had heard it already and I liked it. Want a sample? Hear to my caller tune.. Oh.. I forgot to say the name of the theatre. It is Pushpanjali in K R Puram. This was the first time I am going to that theatre after its renovation. Which actually took roughly about 1-1/2 months. Should say it looked good. A mixture of an armature multiplex and a town single screen cinema theatre. But I don’t know how long will the maintenance last. We got the balcony ticket which was 60 bucks each. It was good value for money for the Bangalore cost of...

I was seeing the list of best foreign movies in the Oscars. I was surprised to find a whole lot of interesting plots. I am sure you also will get the movie which you always wanted to see. Just reading the plot in wikipedia itself is so interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ List_of_Academy_Award_winners_ and_nominees_for_Best_Foreign_ Language_Film Have a look at the above link. I was impressed with the movie the sea inside . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ The_Sea_Inside It is the movie about a quadriplegic. He has lost control neck below when he was 29 years. it was due to an accident while diving. Then he was fighting in court for his own suicide. The struggle was for 29 years. Although he lost the case but he managed to die by drinking cyanide. The reason for his struggle was he needed someone’s help to kill himself. And if someone helps then it may be considered as murder. So he was fighting for his euthanasia. At last he was helped by his friend to cons...
