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 Hansika does her role neatly and strangely, no glamour this time.

Director I.Ahmed has shown some great touch by interlinking certain sequences and shows a difference in style. Kudos to the director and this seems to be a remake aswell.

Ok...If you have still not guessed whats the movie its Manithan by Udhayanidhi Stalin. Except for the title the film has no connection with the hit film of the 80s by super star.

Udhayanidhi requires a special mention and this is really him graduating to
ver 2.0. Yes seriously  he has done it very well. This seems to be a different genre from his production house and should be a success in BO.

Nice Change from the present trend and an interesting story line.

Spl mention: Radha ravi

Score: 3.75 / 5

Cricket and Me - Part 2

Please read my earlier post " Cricket and Me "   before reading this as this is a continuation of the earlier Post. With the ticket in my hand I had the day marked in my calender, mobile, Outlook etc. IPL 2010 started with a bang and it was huge event in the Indian cricketing calender as last year's IPL was packed and sent to foreign shores because of the General elections and security issues. The match for which I had the ticket was between the Chennai Super Kings(CSK) and the Rajasthan Royals -RR (Shilpa Shetty's team and the inaugural champions).  My choice for this match was because  it was at 4:00 PM and hence would end by 8:00 PM so that the transport was not a problem and I could use the train without any apprehensions. Also the match would have Dhoni, Shane Warne and the big hitting Pathan (Yousuf) who's fame has sky rocketed because of  IPL these days. The day came and it was a Saturday and a long weekend too. Decided to reach the Venue an hour bef

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.
