CRORES and Cinema

Image result for box office collection

Soon we have a heavily hyped movie is out , the next thing so commonly we hear is, the movie has made record in BO, it has made a collection of 4500 crore and 99 rupee. A decae back atleast for an Indian Movie the 100 crore game was not so important. What really mattered was 100Days, Golden jubilee, 250 days celebration.


Is it a right scale for a movie to be rated based on its collection. I feel No. First a quick maths. IF we read a Movie has made 100 crore, barring the kabala opening day ticket mechanism Lets assume a ticket is sold for INR. 100 . a simple division would tell you the movie is jus been watched by 1 crore people, which is even less than the Gross population of Total Chennai population. and it jus 1 / 6th of the total population of the state.

Mostly the BO are announced with global figures, so the people the movie it has reached is much lesser.

Atleast in future lets not make BO collection as a important status symbol for the Movie

Kodi Movie review.

Kodi short review.
I am the one who rue about Kollywood not having or attempting with some good plots. So obviously falls on shoulder to appreciate when some director does, and Kodi meets the expectation - a very good Plot with strong characters. Its decent Action movie.
Dhanush has done both the roles effortlessly having no big challenge except for his first dual role.
Dhanush has done both the roles effortlessly. Trisha, has made yet another strong effort for her come back.
We should appreciate Vetrimaran and Director Durai to have done a commendable effort in paying a note of attention to The Unilever Mercury waste dumping episode at Kodaikanal. Also liked the leading points hidden in the movie.
Overall its a good movie. Do watch it

Is there a god ? ?

Is there a god ? ?
I said there, Shall there be one

How do you know ? ?
I know, because i have a quest

So ?
My quest is real

IS it he or she ? ?
It could be neither and it shall be both

So u r not sure ? ?
No i a super sure. It could be neither and it shall be both

You don’t make sense . . .
Absolutely i  do. And  its not necessary for you to be on the contemporary space

You are insulting me
No i am jus revering your uniqueness

But it was statement about you
Being Unique is comparative statement, it needs a second person.

So you mean you are not Unique
I am also unique

How ??
I realise i am not Unique like you. So i am Unique

Means ??
All of us are Bending ourselves to find unique in ourselves, so everyone is un-unique of trying to be Unique. And I am not. So i am Unique and you common, who wants to be Unique.
                              
GOD, Pls stop it.
See I found my God, you should thank me i have shared him with you aswell

IS he / she the Ultimate.
No it  ( God ) is penultimate.

Wat could be the  ultimate objective
Nothing.

Can you elaborate ??
To get to nothing from everything and anything mode. 

So God is just a tool or a mid link
Yes.

So finding God is, finding a severed link or loop in the chain of Quest for nothing ? ?
No its not a severed link, it is to put the link to use, which was pre-existing.


So how is nothing better or important than Something and everything. ? ?
Do you have a plan to retire

Yes, one day
What do you want to do,  when you retire ? ?
                               
Relax, do nothing, i have done enough hard work
Almost similar Like in life Nothing is also sometimes important than everything.
                                
 So god is a retirement plan ?
Kinda yes.

 So which God can lead you to nothing ??
God.

Yes which one, the one with Two hands or one with Four Heads or the one formeless or the only one. ?? -  
Wait the one you speak is a notion of God and i am speaking about God.

Pls explain ??
You are saying Tomato is Red and round, i am saying its sour or sweet at times. Every Tomato not necessarily has to be red and some could even not be round. But it would be sour or sweet or both.

So it not necessary to choose a red and round tomato for it to be sweet.   
Not necessary

So why don’t you try with someother tomato, other than the once you have inhand.
Yeah true, but i already have a Tomato, and i believe it would yield.

How are you so sure. Your god would yield you the most longed nothingness. ??
You will know only when you try


But wat if you fail. ??
There is nothing called, failure, its jus one more attempt.
  
So wat if you are not achieving it ?? will there be consequences ?
 You are not bound to quest. And there are no real consequences, except that you have rusted you aeroplane to rust without trying to fly it even once. 

(To be Continued . . )

Puli Murugan Movie Review

Rajini Murugan has nothing do with Rajinikanth, however Pulimurugan has much to do with PULI - Tigers.

         
Have you ever been through a Pugmark Trail - in an open jeep, safari into those expensive scapes of Bengal Tigers in an early morning. The jeep stops suddenly on a canyon creating a great space for silence, and friend of yours nags you from behind and ask you in his lowest voice, even lower than being whisper, asking you is it there ? ? pointing a finger towards a bush in which just a fallen leave courts a relationship with its old friend leave in the plant. If you enjoy such thrill this movie is a Chiken soup for your soul.

Releasing on 07-Oct this movie already has created a grand audi for itself and is on its way to become a next big Mallu-gift to other Woods ( Bollywood / Kollywood / Tollywood ) of the Country. This Movie is absolute entertainer, with a legible Plot.

Plot :Tell me those elements if you have to make a movie out of Super Green Forest. A Noble Tribe, A common Problem, a Saviour or 2, Opium Trade, liquor, Forest Rangers - their Menace, Sandalwood, Suggling. This movie has it all in addition this time the main attraction the common Villain for the Village this time is a Man-eater. Director Vysakh must have decided that you may be just bored watching Man Animal Conflict in a well researched plot, so he adds 2, no 3, no no 4  Villains who are Men too.

Mohanlal sure is the only one in the country who effortlessly can try such a experimental plot, and yet succeed. At Age of 56 he has done some breath taking stunts calling for a standing ovation ( not the Kala Master one, you dumbo ).  He carries the entire load of the movie on his shoulder with peerless screen presence. This movie is one more answer to the curious question, why the industry calls him a Complete actor. The Actor has to be credited to have done the entire 20 mins climax stunt sequence by himself without a Body Double.  The actor direct Lal  too, adds value to the movie my his acting skill.

Personally i am a Fan of Peter Hein, and in this movie his Stunts are the second hero, specially both the fight sequences that come after Interval are Great. And the opening stunt sequence with the Tiger
 is excellent. It is the same stunt sequence in which, the Computer graphics and Motion Capture tech team of this movie has set a new high standard for the movie industry of the entire nation.

It is not only Pulimurugan in the movie who carries a sharp edged weapon, the editor has to be appreciated for having one with much sharper edges - Johnkutty Kudos. Shaji Kumar also has created beautiful visuals with his camera, however it follows the rote of angles is many areas. cinematography ( if you have intrest ) would remind you Raavanan ( The Manirathnan one`s ) and Urumi or Ashoka  all from Santosh Sivan`s Lenses. Except that the cinematographer allows the Green to look Greener and not adding a Blue hue to it, is equally appreciable.

Malayalam movie have an edge to undergo a thorough homework and to speak details across every frame, however this movie fails in that expectation, it has meagre contribution to the core plot of Man Vs Animal conflict. Vysakh should have spent his IQ also in eye for detailing for example on a pit stop for ferries on a less explored river, hero is cited to drink a Tea with Milk, but it should have been the Holy Kattanchaya - Black tea. Forest ranger catches a glimpse of suspect ( Lal when returning to his village ) however doesnt notices the Bags filled new clothing with a Logo on it.

Kamalini Mukherjee has played the female protagonist who is sure less irritating than a Big bike guy who tails a Signal behind an Ambulance in Service. Namitha adds Glamour to this like a over sized Hummer kept in a unattended assembly area of a Spencers Mall, both by its significance and volume.

Jagapati babu has lot of good performances to his credit in the past, but this movie does not get into that list. Throughout the movie he walks like his head is tightly bolted to his shoulder blades and in the gruesome pain he fails to remember something called Expression on his face. Morbid is the only word for sum of all expression to sum of all villains in this movie.

The movie is not another movie in this movie, this is something i going to cherish for the days to come. Having said all this, the movie sure is an impish take on Man-Animal conflict, it extends itself being criminal in a scene where the protagonist justifies his act of Killing Tigers, which certainly has my personal Condemnations.

 If you going to be watching this movie on bazzaar DVD, or waiting for this Christmas to be telecasted on your Television, be happy being Penny wise. This movie is must watch, Only in theatres

PINK MOVIE REVIEW



“R U a Virgin ? “  The Lawyer questions the Woman standing the trial.
The hearing judge,  helps the girl, not to answer the question if she doesn’t want it.

Again the lawyer questions “ when did you Lose your viriginity”
The Judge intervenes and questions the lawyer where are these questions leading to.

The Lawyer again Asks the Woman “ did you get paid for it “

Such inconvenient questions ablaze across every scene in this Movie – PINK. 
The Lawyer was strikingly performed by Amitabh Bachan. And Tapsee has found her mettle with her role in Pink. Kirti kulhari also stands tall in many places with a strong performance.

Anirudh roy chowdury, with this movie, I believe shall laugh his way to national Award for this year. I feel the same for the Super Sharp Bodhaditya Banerjee. His Edits are the movies strong points.

Its essential movie every urban girl should take time to watch it with parents, and  Friends.  PINK the name of the movie means Forceful or coercive occupation of a Vagina by an Penis.

By knowing the meaning of the movies title itself you know - PINK is only for bravehearts not for faint hearteds. Do watch it only if you dare to.

Political Particpation : : Endemic of Corruption : : BUZZ word change

Today, if I have an account in any social networking site, I should better be speaking about three buzz words Political Participation, Endemic of Corruption, BUZZ word change for today`s India, in relation to the upcoming Election.

Facing an Upcoming election Narendra Modi, could be the man for whom the Entire FBians ( if you are not doing, then you are not a FBian ) are doing a free of cost Campaign for him. I am really curious to know, what version of these words do they mean when the speak. Did made attempts to understand the same, but was in Vain. What exactly are they looking for ? is absolute mystery.

Any issue, be it perenial or not, We ( Ok Dont cry no you !! ) Royal Citizens of India have few standard replies.
        A. These politicians are so corrupt.
        B. We Need Change from this Governance and we need some - X to run the governance.
        C. Its really not possible until we have political participation from Common Men.
Are these True. What do we really mean by these statements. We dont even spare the Education system, Religion, Caste system.

During my School, when i participate for elocution competition, the above lines used to get me and my peers a full round of applause and full scores, when said in time with correct punch and Pun. I even rehearsed more Lines alike. One among these is, we have elected these politicians to serve us and they forgot it. And even we had a famous line - The MLA visited our constituency during the time Vote Canvas, after that he never was to seen in the constituency. Thank God I have grown up from this Version.

If its Sin or Crime that your MLA has not visited your constituency, is it not equally wrong that you have not even visited his office even once without having any personal purpose ?. Is it not your Constituency ?. Do you even know who is your MLA ?. How big is your Constituency ? What is your MLAs Monthly Salary ?. What was his Net asset value, when he stood for first election and what is his current Net asset value.

Did you ever attempted to know, what is the fund alloted to you constituency every year. Atleast Last year. And how it is spent. If not spent how is it planned to be spent upon?.

Are they Laying Roads in front of your house. Do you know what kind of road it is, as in Simple Tar road / Asphalted Tar road / Concrete road or a mix. Or do we atleast know, which road is best suited for our locality. Who got the tender for it. Leave aside you constituency, fix the Above question for your Ward and your waard councilor. do you have answers for any of these. Oh pls Dont be filth saying - You dont have time to do all these and thats why you have nominated ( elected )a person to do all these, and hence it becomes not your duty anymore and its his / her duty to do all these.

                      Keeping quiet, maintaining a particular kind of policy is sthana; withdrawal from hostile actions for the sake of one’s own interests is asana; and taking no steps (against an enemy) is upekshana.” [Arthashastra VII:4]


Assume your 7 year old finds INR 5.00 from your home and you have not checked it for a ample time. guess what happens to your INR 5.00, it would have by now be a digested choclate in the Childs tummy. or Kurkure. An Unchecked money is always Futile. if its a case for INR 5.00 for your 7 year at home, its easy and more possible for your politician being corrupt. Now dont give me the idea of Self. Government Announces Subsidy on your Gas. Do we not have time to check for subisdy credit in our account. Have we not made our time to find it. The same logic applies in case of fund allotted for road, or any public work.

I Promise you, the  Endemic of corruption can be suddenly brought into control directly by these cognition. And pls understand Political participation, does never mean standing in election and winning a vote. And if you dont do the above question and by Insha Allah win the election, you are seriously good for nothing, because you will complete your tenure just by Learning what political machinery is. And this is called political participation. And for god sake pls understand you dont want a Common Man in a Political Chair, its a credible Man you need. You cannot vote for someone just because of he is Good man. Its like appointing someone as your Car Driver just because he is a Teetotaler. Do you ?  or do you check for the Car-Driving Ability and in addition you check for his Vices ?

And the Buzz word of Change, Which got Obama his first Dollar King Cap and even to an Extend Manmohan Singh, is really a Fake i tell you. If you are not cognitive of political system from its Micro Level no Man Can bring Change in the Political Arc, Even if its greadly lauded Narendra Modi  or Even to that matter Lord Krishna. Even he questioned Pandavas after loosing the Gamble - Duryodhana called Sakuni to play on their behalf, have you invited me ??. In short - ITs upto you now.

" Citizen is one who participates in Judiciary, else he / She better be a Slave, and he / She will be " And " Change do not happen until you Participate "

HOCKEY or CRICKET, the debate continues





I should a be retard to write this, from a Country where Cricket is a  Religion, with biggest number of Followers next to its Maternal Religion, Hinduism. And we have No less God, Demi Gods, Pooja, Aarti, Superstitions, Idiots and Money.

In case of Cricket is a religion, I an Atheist.
Because before, I was born, in cricket, there were Batsmen, Bowlers, All rounders, Keepers, Fielder, Captain, Vice Captain, Selection committee, Coach but today we have only one group of people in Cricket, Who make Money for themselves and just others ( who have no need for it ). Heart can Easily pound, seeing the way India, has a blind affluence to this non native game. And its omni-pricking we have not found much stars, laurels and colours in our country, except for this game.

Let the Game begin
Whenever I put forth an idea or opinion against the arrogant support from Government, everyone of you for this Game, more particularly in a country we have more than 70 % of population which is defined as Youth between 20 - 35 ( The Biggest in the among the World ), its numbing people again blindly support Hockey, being a national game, we don't support it. I am against that view aswell. Here we have to understand few intrinsic points.

Everytime this debate opens up, I hear most of them saying " But Cricket is not even our National Game, why don't we promote Hockey ". For god-sake ( and if you don't believe god, put your wives or your bosses name ) pls think( i mean the real thinking, dont just browse Net . OK ?? ) before saying this again.

Our National Game is Hockey. - A Cross-sectional View
             To sum-up in Simple words, If we would have declared a National Game by 1983, we would have declared Cricket to be our National game and that's why Hockey is our National game till date. ( And Kapil would have agreed to Campaign for Congress he would have been given Bharath Rathna Too. )
By a decade down the line, I am scared, it could be, Temple-Run or Farmiville ( yeah yeah i know thats not Sports, but dont worry its not far we redefine the meaning of word SPORTS to our convenience, but before pls get approval from Ulemas of Pakistan . . . Okay. ? ).

             Yes, that's True, even today Indian Mens Hockey team has not peer for its record of 8 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronze in its Order Since 1928. That's splendid isn`t it. To understand why hockey rose to the fame of being a National Games, we need to walk along the Turf of Dhonis, Tendulkars, and Kohlis
of Hockey - Dhyan Chand, who made Derfurher ( yes you got it - 10 points -  it means HITLER ) his Fans, Feroze Khan, Ali shaukat.
                A Newspaper has said to be written " Perfection is perilous, for it tempts the gods. For once, this was proved wrong for even the god of weather paid tribute to the genius of the Indian players. Rain clouds, which had threatened to ruin the game, vanished into the blue, and thousands of spectators spent a happy hour marvelling at the incomparable artistry of the Indian team ". Yes it was after the Match India Played again Ceylon XI at Colombo, won Both matches by 20-0 and 10-0.
               If it would have been today, ESPN and Starsports would be running this a day long match and commentary for more than 4 - 5 months and FACEBOOK and Twitter will be jus filled with hockey sticks and Dhyan Chand ( Why did he had Chand in his name, itself can be posted as separate post, do you want me to write it ? ? haanhh ) pic in Profile pictures. From 1928 until 1956 Indian Mens Hockey team to lose was a World news and To win has become natural and its birth right. Todays Men in Blue is no comparision. We achieved our freedom before this Glory was set to dawn into Oblivion. Now that we have to hold something as National Game, we had Hockey as our National. We have 36 National Tournaments to-date for this sports, Odisha is the State, where this sport till date has craze ablaze, and because of which we have a big quorum of National players from Odisha only.
             If today being netizens we have no time to invest, how would you expect a License raj Squad run by JN, to find a right national game for our country. That's not fair. Not at all..

But only Nascent number of people alone will get the spark, that Hockey was introduced in India During 1885 - 1887 by British Army. This was purely introduced to differentiate between Cricket, a Game of Royal Whites and Hockey for anybody else. Wow, that's interesting Sports with a slavery
note. a Brilliant Colonial stroke Once again.

After being an Adult, everytime I watch Cricket, it always haunts me of the nostalgia of Struggles, Moronistic East India Company, the Irrepairable loss our country had undergone because of Britain, British, and Slaves of British. The Feeling is mutual when I watch a Game of Hockey, the Bitter taste of Slavery is unavoidable somewhere in the sight.

Mind you - IF you have to be against Cricket frenzy doesn`t mean you have to be Hockey Fan. Its like goes equally like, being a Critic of Kejriwal, doesn`t make me BJP loyalist, or a Fundamentalist.

Guess what, after all these.........  how will you feel if I tell you Hockey is no more our national game. Yes. Ministry of Youth affairs and Sports has declared hockey not as National Game after an RTI filed for the details, on Aug 2012. Now India has no National game. Who has time for it, lets make Money, More Money and buy a Flat somewhere, light our Childs future by killing all paddy fields and agriculture Land, and make the tomorrows society more dumb and Ultra Numb with NCERT.

Just because it was a National Game you cannot support Hockey. The promotion of all form sports is important and should be impartial. It should go with " Everyone is important and Nobody Indispensable "

Singam-2 REview

On diwali evening, one side there is a fire cracker, another side your
cousin lights a flower pot, your mom holds a lighting torch, a neighbor
shall blast a small green bomb, having skimpy dressed namitha or Mumtaz or
even mumaith khan on its cover, Suddenly your libido wakes-up, immediately
someone calls you to make a diwali wishes. This mixed feeling of Joy and
Fun, is wat I have undergone, watching Singam-2

Durai Singam, after successful completion of his Chennai assignment, returns
in sleuth mode to his home-town ( almost ) to Tuticorin. As an undercover
agent he works as a NCC trainer in a school in the day time and does all his
information gathering at his rest of time. As he is not a police officer
anymore, his father is yet to agree for his wedding with Kavya ( Anushka ).
Now new developments at tuticorin is his rivals, Dhanraj, Bhai, and Sagayam
trinity, who operates the narcotic belt of entire south from Tuticorin, for
an International drug peddler Dany, who is always said to on his on lounge
on International waters and never is said to have come into any political
boundaries of any country, who equally is dangerous.

Wait, wait, Hansika, yes she is school pupil( whattttttttt ? ? . did you
questioned Vijay being a College going guy or even Aamir. No right ! !. then
Shut=up and read ) and falls in love with Singam for his flex muscle
tantrums - high octane stunts. And yes she is niece of The Bad man Dhanraj.
Any further to divulge on the story shall appall this pen-pushing effort.

Full Paisa Vasool, as usual Like anyother Hari film. Right from his First
movie "Tamil", this directors every venture, ( except Seval ) shall display
an extended effort on screenplay and homework. Brilliant shall be
understatement for the screenplay and the editing. Surya has done justice
for the unsaid huge money. Compared to his any other venture DSP has done a
dull role only, no doughnut for you DSP.

Don't miss this Super fire brand cracker, which is here atleast for another
50 days.

Should we congratualate Hari for having 2 of his movie to have release on
Same day 1. Singam-2 and 2. Policegir, which is a remake of Saami.

KUTTIP PULI - MOVIE REVIEW

   KUTTI PULI - yeahh, its not KUTTI PULI, if you see see some one writing, as such, roar at them.

Indeed it was Gold devaraj`s voice, that pulled me into this movie - 'Thaatiyaru thaatiyaru' song, indeed was a well orchestrated effort. Vairamuthu has no doubt made this song and also the "Aruvakkaran" song well.

As the name and trailer suggest, the movie is no new-  blood bath - "Kill Bill" style effort in Tamil. This movie is yet another effort in re-telling a vernacular folklore story, except than the treatmen,t the Director has venture for its Climax. This is again eulogising a loaner, rugged, unreliable middle aged Lad ( Oh yes, Sasikumar is the male no doubts, but still facts are facts, the story is about a Lad, not aged Man ).

Storyline - Single son - Kuttipuli ( Sasi ) of Widow mother -Deivana ( Saranya Ponvanna ). Puli is ready to fight anymoment, as Shakespeare describes in his poetry - All the World is a Stage. The movie begins with How Deivana ( Saranya ) was widowed. Then the colour montage begins with Grown up son and mom, where our Kuttippuli`s Mother struggling  hard to get him married and Kuttippuli strolls not to get married, having an unsaid Big bang theory - I am surrounded by Danger everywhere so, i am un marriageable " - Oh my god. ( Thats a Satire my friend )

In between there are illustration Kuttippuli`s gladiatorship and valour, enemity. The story is supposed take twist with introduction of the female Lead - Bharathi ( Lakshmi Menon ) and her pious love for Kuttippuli, but it doesn`take any new twist at all. Its really astonishing to see Girls ( both on-screen and off- screen ) fall for a petty street fighter, head to heel, on Love.

Yes for all those who gather there on the show for this pious faced, New beauty - lakshmi menon, there is a ( bad ) surprise for you all in the movie. Specially in the opening scene itself. She has lost her charm just in 2 movies, is really painful. Suddenly she looks, not what she is ( neither i dont understand the meaning of this Sentence, leave it there buddy ! ! ! ). By the way what happened to her 10th results ?? ?

The Screenplay is welldone for a debutant, and also the characters except the leads. The story is mainly featured on three pivotal characters Kuttipuli, His mom, the female lead. Somehow all the three characters lack depth. There were lot of scopes in all the technical departments to make this a better venture, that comment does not exclude the Music by Ghibran.

Sure, this movie will make its way in the box office, without any difficult, however this Movie has nothing new to offer to you, if you are regular movie goer, except than the so-proclaimed climax  of the movie.

If your next bus or flight is only by 5.00 in the morning and you are scared to get asleep, of missing your bus, take a chance and watch this movie.

Kuttippuli - A half satisfying Hunt.
