The Girl Who Played with Fire is just an OK affair compared to the first one

-

I was interested in this movie since I finished watching the first installment. “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. I got hold of an English dubbed version of the Swedish movie. Because the English version of the movie is yet to be made and I feel hopefully it will be made.
This Movie is not as interesting as the first installment. But manages to make us watch it in one sitting. The base story line, you can get from the trailer attached with this blog and it is not as complex as the first installment. This movie deals with women trafficking and violence in the background. Here we are shown the childhood of Lisbeth Salander who is the “GIRL” which comes in the name of the movie. The violence in the movie is much less compared to the first installment. The ending has made me interested in watching the third installment too. Don’t watch with the excitement which the first installment gave you then you will enjoy more. The rating for this movie is 3/5.

 The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a trilling story



Saw this movie on Saturday (04/02/2012). Should say this one stayed in my mind throughout the weekend. The story is taken from a novel, so it is not a one line story. The trailer too tells the story very faintly. The movie has violence in few places. But not to the extant you feel disgusted. The music in the movie is really good and makes you gripped to the place. It is a 2.5 hour movie and the length is not noticed when you begin to understand the story. The characters have done their job well. The dialogues are also smartly written and there is a wit here or there spread through out the movie. Over all a nice thriller (for the people like me who have not read the novel). This movie wont be released in India. So find your way to watch this one. 
My rating for the movie is a clear 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
