Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol ; Audience’s Mission accomplished

Stunt Scene at Burj

The movie starts with a Jail break and Tom Cruise is given a stylish introduction. But a little before that we are shown a guy who shows us a dare devil stunt only to be killed in a short while. (Don’t miss it as this is the first scene even before they put the name of the movie). As usual the movie starts with the trademark Mission Impossible score with a bomb being lighted and the camera following the wick. Here they show all the places where the movie takes you.  
Point Blank. This Mission Impossible has dare devil stunts mixed with humor. Yes. You read it right. It has HUMOR and that is what makes this Mission impossible movie different from the others. The way humor is interwoven with the movie simply makes the movie a delight to watch.
As all the Mission impossible movies the cast has a nearly impossible mission in their hand and they make the mission possible in the end. It has all the standard elements where a mission is sent and after the mission being played, the equipment self-destructs in 5 seconds. To just give a flavor of the humor, here it is a public telephone point where Tom cruise hears a mission where they have to inside Kremlin and steal a document. The funny part is after the usual self-destruct message the phone does not self-destruct. Tom Cruise gives a tap and then the phone destructs. 





Not going into detail of the stunts. Almost all stunts are good. The Burj stunts were it gives vertigo to the audience is beautifully shot. Dangling 100 floors above makes you feel the height.
The story is written and edited in such a way some information is not told upfront and the audiences are made to understand the story as the movie progresses. So the way the story is written and edited is one big plus point.
One part of the story happens in India. Sad part is every one in India and people who have travelled to India will know that it is not happening in India. Had they shot the movie in India I feel the movie would be a compete 100 percent in all fronts. And our hero Anil Kapoor is given a role not more than what is given for a guest appearance. Simply we can say he has gone from a Hero in Bollywood to a Zero in Hollywood. Any Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/ Srilankan would have suited to that role.
The movie is good and Tom Cruise spear heads it by giving equal chance to the other Cast. Humor and Action has added a new dimension. Editing and Cinematography is good. On a whole a complete entertainer.
My Rating – 4/5*

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
