Kutram 23 ...New area...

Saw Kutram 23.The film actually was very good and deals about the scam that goes in IVF treatment, a subject not touched at all so far and proves to be a thriller. Not sure why it is not getting the response it should get. Arun Vijay the hero looks macho and extremely fit for the role of the investigating officer as Asst Commissioner of police. It does not have much songs and the direction is racy in the beginning and then meanders a little latter. Kudos to the director for  turning out this crime thriller in an untested subject. The story infact is adapted from Tamil writer Rajesh Kumar's novel. A must watch in my opinion. Just to leak out a suspense -Kuttram 23, the 23 refers to the 23 chromosomes....very apt title too unless you appreciate it.(also the hero's 23rd film) Verdict: 3.75/5.

Summer is here...

Summer is here and Chennai faces a huge water shortage. Pls circulate the below in your friends and flat association groups. Here are a few tips that will help you save water. Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth - this can save 6 litres of water per minute. Place a cistern displacement device in your toilet cistern to reduce the volume of water used in each flush. Take a shorter shower. Shower can use anything between 6 and 45 litres per minute. Always use full loads in your washing machine and dishwasher – this cuts out unnecessary washes in between. Fix a dripping tap. A dripping tap can waste 15 litres of water a day, or 5,500 litres of water a year. Install a water butt to your drainpipe and use the water collected to water your plants, clean your car and wash your windows. Water your garden with a watering can rather than a hosepipe. A hosepipe uses 1,000 litres of water an hour. Use the RO water purifier waste water for cleaning floor and washing vegeta...

Ghasi - Hollywood Class

Film Ghassi was another film which really is a class apart from the run-of-a-mill movies. The entire film is shot within a Submarine and the plot is the Indo-Pak war under water in 1971. Viewer watch with bated breath as the story takes you through one sequence of attack after another. Its based on real incidents with how the Indian submarine inspite of losing its captain ,still fought valiantly. This is once in a blue moon kind of movie and matches the class of Hollywood mo vies frame by frame. Score: 4.25/5...extra credit for just the plot and the storyline.

First Reel then Real

While all the political parties have jumped into the Prohibition bandwagon my suggestion would be to start it in the reel world first and then come to the real world. Yes stop showing the hero and his friends do all the things below A) Dance in the bar with group. B) Brain stroming with friends while drinking. C) Failure in personal life...head straight to the bar. D) To get courage - take the bottle. To have the directors avoid these cliches, films without the above can be provided Tax exemption(what an idea sir ji) like the one for naming Tamil films with Tamil titles. Pls share this until it reaches the concerned. Films do impact this generation.

Manithan 2.0

Just getting interested from trailer was in two minds if I should see this movie... As a prior step also read the review. Decision was made to see the movie. Searched for tickets but could not get the same. With the recent upgrade to a broadband with a better speed searched if there are any online links...yes found one with pretty decent clarity. Now for the movie...no songs with group dancers..no punch dialogues..no acrobatic fights....The hero of the film has no track record to such subjects and infact he has been ridiculed for his acting skills in some of his previous movies in social media...but not this time. If you are the one who are interested in films with court scenes who may like it as I did.(Mamooty's Mouna samandham was the one which interested me a lot several years back). The film entirely revolves around the story line it took and does not deviate much from it. Comedy by Vivek and others is not a separate track but blends well with the main story Heroine Ha...
