Yet another story of vendetta. -Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu


Lately all the movies that i have been watching give me this sense of dejavu.. no no- not memories of having been to sathyam before, with the same gang, but of having seen a similar movie before. There it was don avenging his brother's death, here its a serial passionate, disturbed, psychotic and totally dangerous med student killer with a seemingly gay boyfriend with revenge in his blood. That was fully in chennai, this is in new york, and chennai in parts. there it was surya here it was kamal. There surya loses his wife jo, here ...
The movie had some initial hiccups on the production side, when the original producer Kaja Mohiddeen attempted suicide when he went bankrupt but its a smooth sail now.
Kamal is amazing for his age and at the least doesn’t pretend to be 20-something.. Jo, PrakashRaj(amazing tho), misc barely have a part. Cinematography was amazing and the music real good.
BUT the movie is gory, bloody, disgusting at points. Not to forget the abusive language used in every other sentence. Between you and me, we know we do understand the foul language used, that kids way way younger probably understand it all too. That is no reason why it should be rated u/a. Has the country westernised so much as yet? If it really has, i think i'm just a bit too slow for it.

Ps: whats with director Gautam's love for the name Ilamaran????

The "big stars" shining their riches- KANK, an opinion


Ton loads of love, passion and cartloads of tears was what KANK was all about- typically Karan Johar. . One song at the disc, one with the family, rockin n rollin, one with Shahrukh running across a bridge- Rings a bell doesn't it? From the stills the ads n the music, we might get the feeling that we've seen it all previously.
A smitten Abhishek has done a great job .His acting tho good as always, SRK's caricatured expressions n over the top emotions were a little tough to handle. Preity did whatever little her role demanded and Rani, stunningly beautiful has done justice to her part.
Nevertheless ,the movie being different n bold, (i'm not sure if i can call that a hype), the humour sane, the actors classy, the music catchy, its definitely worth a watch.

So..

so whats up. how's it going. tell me. nothing much. you tell me. so what else is up (notice the 'else'). The most probable reply being 'the fan, the ceiling, the sky..duh!!)
If you happen to be a tamilian, add on apram, vera enna, sollu. These happen to be the most common phrases/words in our conversations these days. At the end of the conversation,(which probably is an hour or half of nothingness) you think you know more about the person. You really don't. Makes me think if there really isn't much to talk about or have i just become plain boring??? What i need is a class on 'how to keep your conversations interactive' or something like 'a 1000 ways to make your conversations more creative and useful!'
I love keeping in touch. i love calling up friends and blahing. But what happens if you turn into this old/boring person that you never imagined you'd ever be.
