Revolution 2020 – Does not create a revolution, but it gets your control.

-


Started to read on Karnataka Rajyotsava day cause of the holiday my office gave me. Once I started to read I was hooked to it. If some work comes by I did that in a hurry and tried to steal some time to read more pages. And yes I was able to turn pages quickly. Some novels are enjoyed reading them slow but this one was like a bullet train. I was reading and turning pages. The same thing happened with me for 5 point someone – What not to do at IIT.
I completed the novel on day 2 by somehow managing to come early from office. So it took me just 2 days to complete a little less than 300 pages.
Coming to the story it is just a triangular love story with Corruption and Revolution behind it. One person makes corruption the other tries to show it to the world and there is just one girl for both of them. The story happens mostly in Varnasi and one chapter in Kota. This novel also explains about the competitive exam coaching business and how parents spend their hard earned money in these coaching centers even without knowing if their children will ever clear the highly competitive exams.
That’s all I can tell about the story. Start reading, complete 20 pages and the book will take control of you and make you finish it.
In some reviews they say that Chetan has used the Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption campaign to boost his book sales. But according to me anything is fair for anti-corruption.
The only sad thing is Chetan could have told us a new way to fight corruption. Like Indian or Mudhalvan (Nayak) or Ramana (Tamil Movie) movies did. But Chetan takes the age old method of publishing the corruption in newspapers.
One extra thing I felt after reading this one is now Chetan wrote this book keeping in mind that someone will buy the rights and take the movie immediately. He has written is such a way that even the production costs will be very less. I think that’s a smart way to make more money from a book.
Overall I liked the ending which was touchy. I felt Chetan would have written multiple climaxes and asked people to read and would have taken their vote and analyzed. But overall the ending was good. It tries to give a lasting impression at least for an hour after finishing the book.

By Rating for this commercial stuff is 3/5*. If you are stuck with a slow moving book. Stop that book take this one complete it in a day and then you will start reading the other book faster now.

Enjoy reading.

Kanden Kadhalai in Tamil < Jab We Met in Hindi

On the above picture do you see any difference? Hmmmm… This is the level of similarity you can see when you see Kanden Kadhalai. But I understood direction is not simply copying. You have to have the magic touch which the original director (Imtiaz Ali) has. Kannan (Director of Kanden Kadhalai) didn’t have that magic touch. Scene to Scene, Dialogue to Dialogue it is same as Jab We Met. Although he has left out some really cute scenes which comes in Jab We Meet. Some scenes coming to my mind are, when Geet and Adhitya try and catch a running train in Manali soon after he finds out her in Manali and she tells abt her dream. And the very last scene where Geet’s Sikh Grandfather says that he knew every thing and he needs only one second to find what is running between the girl and boy. In that scene you will be seeing Geet and Adhitya with their 2 children and giving a smile saying “Ji Daji” Those are some of the real sweet scenes in Jab We Met and we don’t find them in this movie.

Angadi Theru is touching and true…

Angadi Theru Movie Review (4/5). Angadi Theru means a Market. And a heavily crowded market in Chennai means Ranganathan Street . And that’s where most of the movie unfolds. Many would have gone inside Saravana Stores. And how many of us would have thought about the uniformed sales people working there? Vasanthabalan just has not visited Ranganathan street . But paused and thought about it and made this touching script mixing some hard reality too. The movie shows the lives of Kanni and Jothilingam for a period of roughly 1 year. And that happens to be the first year after they meet. They gain many things but loose many too. There is no hard lined story in this film. This movie can be taken as a chapter in a very big novel. But this chapter seems to be the touching one in the whole novel. Jothilangam a 12 th standard school topper from a village is forced to work for his family due to the sudden death of his father. He comes to Chennai and joins as a sales person at Senthil Mugura

Tamil Padam.. Gives you only a few genuine Laughs.

It’s been a very long time since I watched a movie first day first show. But got the opportunity for this movie after some quick planning. We decided around 3pm that we are going to the movie and then started from office at 5pm . Since it was Bangalore we where able to get the ticket for Tamil Padam very easily and to my surprise the theatre was not houseful too!!! The movie started with the Spoof of Karuthamma. But here they are killing the boy babies instead of Girl. The reason? Because boys from that village (Cinemapatti) leave for Chennai and start acting as heros in Tamil Cinema and proclaim themselves with all names like Chinna Talabathi, Mini Super start etc and also disclose that they want to become the CM in the second year itself. But our hero (who is the baby) escapes the packed super Quality Kalli paal that is kept for killing him and heads to Chennai along with Paravai Muniyamma. There are some punch dialogues which spoof Vijay and an opening song which comes similar
