This has been a very long break, and I am back again with ratings of movies I had watched in past 15+ months or so. There are categories as: Worst, Bad, Okay, Good, Very Good and Excellent. The first three will go in this post, rest will follow in subsequent ones. These are rating as per my tastes, likes and dislikes, and there is nothing to debate over this as the comments are truly my personal

10 most irritating categories of people1. Public smokers: Killing themselves and poisoning others, the worst human beings who pollute the world around us for their personal satisfaction. Worst are the nicotine stinking people coming near you after somoking, even worse is the ones trying to hide that nicotine stink using chweing gums.2.

From Roja to the red carpet of Oscars, this man's journey has been full of excitement, pride and full of honors. He has made Tamilian proud in Indian Stage, India on the world stage and now he has made the long time dream of every Indian and Tamilian true.. That too twice...I doubt if any other Indian winning an Oscar would have created so much of a reaction among the country people. But Rahman

I have been traveling in city bus to office for more than two months now. I deliberately chose to travel in city bus and cancelled my company bus pass end of last year.I always enjoy bus travel, especially sitting in the window seat, looking outside and listening to music all the way. But this is not the reason for the shift, because I do this even in company bus.The main reason was that there

Since this is about duet songs, I have chosen real duets, that is, songs that have both male and female voices in it. There is a huge list but these are best among the best.There is no top 10 rating for them, so just sorted them in alphabetical order.* Ale Ale - BoysThis song captured my senses in first listen itself.

Vijay's films are known for their foot tapping hit dance numbers. Devi Sri Prasad's hit albums are popular for their peppy tunes. So a Vijay-DSP combo was expected to rock music charts with super hit peppy dance numbers. And Villu is one album that wont let your expectations down even for a minute throughout the listening.Packed with full of youthful and vibrant songs, this is a real treat for

Very few films have given me the satisfaction of watching a complete movie. That way, Saroja is a movie that has made me happy and contented after a long time. Never in my life I have seen the crowd staying in the theater till the screen goes blank after end titles for a Tamil film. That says volumes about how brilliant a film Saroja is.Instead of depending on a hero or a director, Saroja is full

My choice of favorite songs is based on the singers who sing the songs and not by the music director or the actors who act in it. I dont like many of the hit songs just because of the fact I don't like the voices in it or by the way it was sung. I feel that a voice that can hold your senses is what is important in a song and then comes the music and lyrics.On the other hand, favorite movies have

It is a very well known fact that Vijay's film songs are 50% audio and 50% visuals. Yet another known fact is that songs of Dharani-Vidyasagar combo are strictly for mass, and it has been proved through films like Dhool, Ghilli and Bangaram. That said, the trio of Vijay-Dharani-Vidhyasagar have delivered in "Kuruvi" more than what is expected out of them - An album that satisfies all Vijay fans

Having heard about this movie from Vikram long back and having read about it in his blog, I wanted to watch this movie for over an year, and I finally did it yesterday.It is a very very cute movie, a simple story interestingly told with a beautiful romance plot.

Two days back, I was cleaning up my table draw after a long time. Long time here indicates a gap of more than 6 months... No no.. I was not doing it to write one more tag as the purse tag. It just happened...That draw was a dump yard for me through years from my college days where in I put anything and everything that blocks my table and will not be of any use in near future. So as I was digging

Time again for me to list of the best and worst of entertainment industry in the past one year. As last year I had posted a countdown early, I have included films that got released in Dec 2006 also in this countdown.I have not sorted the lists on any rating basis, because everyone has done their best(and of course worst) jobs this year, so it is not fair to rate them on any basis ;-) But for an

I had been with Vikram to Birla Planetarium today. It was a long time plan we had in mind but it happened today unexpectedly. It has a so-called science museum with I guess 8 galleries on various disciplines. It also plays a 3D show and the planetarium show, all for a single ticket.At the entrance of museum, a security who could be as old as 65 years, checked our tickets and explained to us the

Vijay TV has started with a new tele serial called "Kaadhalikka Neramillai". I am not calling it mega serial because Vijay TV doesn't run serials for years like other channels. It features popular TV anchor Prajin with Chandra Lakshmanan(who I read is from Kolangal). I am not sure how good is the serial but I am watching it for I feel its fresh and much better than loads of crap running in prime

Time for another Video of the week. This time its a Kannada song from "Mungaru Male" featuring Ganesh and Sanjana Gandhi. The song and the video are equally rocking. The picturaisation, choreography and editing are excellent and its the first time I am seeing a very stylish Kannada song...Here is the video:

I wrote a review of Rahman's music album "GODFATHER" aka "VARALAARU" in my blog more than one and half years back. The problem with me is that I like the songs only if the lead singer's voices sound impressive to me. It takes time to get used to new voices and today, when I read the review, I feel that I have not done justice in reviewing the album as a Rahman fan. Having got used to the new

I came across this song a few days back, thanks to Vikram. Its a beautiful melody with meaningful lyrics in good Thamizh, and most important thing is its not an album from Tamilnadu or even India. Its a Malaysian private album and it really does sound very good much better than most Tamil songs of today.Song : KanavellamSinger : Dhilip VarmanLyrics : Dhilip VarmanNow, listen to the

DISCLAIMER: The review is full of my perceptions and my opinions, so I have not made up anything for the sake of promoting a film or an actor. I have written this review as a normal movie critic and not as a Vijay fan. If you wish to see how a Vijay fan's review will look like, I can link you to that ;-) There is always an opinion that all Vijay films look same and he does the same thing in all

When maestros make music, it cannot be questioned. There can be no second opinions. The least that one can rate is ‘quite good’. There was a feel in me couple of years back that Rahman had lost his touch with Tamil cinema. Sillunu Oru Kaadhal and Sivaji changed my mindset. Rahman’s place in Tamil Cinema is irreplaceable. Now, the music of Swargachitra Appachan’s Azhagiya Thamizh Magan(ATM),

Staying away from TV for a long time, you miss quite a lot. Seems trailer and teasers of "Aaja Nachle" are being aired for quite some time. Anyways, atleast got a chance to glimpse it yesterday.Wow... The queen of dance, the goddess of acting, the empress of smile, the super star is back. What a grace, what a style, what an expression!!!

I have not blogged for a long, so bringing here few of the recent frustrations that came to my mind:1. The dumbo bandh conducted by Government on October 1 for a dumbo reason. All that was gained by a Chennai citizen is a working Saturday and chance to watch a lot of drama with stunts on TV. 2. The drama played on Vijay TV's Jodi No.1 Season 2. Lets leave aside the debate on who was right,

The king of comedies is back again. I am talking about the TN government giving away State Awards for films released in 2006 and 2005(!!!) As usual, every actor and actress in the film industry has been conferred with some award.Who ever runs the government, always the State Awards are the most funniest ones.

I was staying away from books for a long time due to some kind of laziness towards reading and a feeling that I cannot comprehend English as fast as I could do Tamil text.Recently, I got two books one out of my own interest and other, my friend's recommendation. I started reading them and I should say that I thoroughly enjoyed them. I like books that has a good narrative writing, in a way that I

Getting Harris Jayaraj's music for a movie is like getting mom's food for lunch. You know it would be something similar something you had before, but still there is something unique and satisfactory in having it. 'Bheema' audio is just an example of the above statement. Every other song will make you think "Oh, it sounds like that one" but ultimately, you will thoroughly enjoy each of them.The

After a long time I came home early by taking 6.15 PM bus. Its almost 2 months since I took that bus from office. It always feels good to be early at home, eating mom's dinner and watching TV, chatting with friends etc etcComing late night from office is not a big deal for people working in software firms but I hate staying back in office for the only reason that I don't get anything extra for

I got a chance to watch this movie "Seducing Mr.Perfect" on my way from Hong Kong to Singapore while coming back from US. Somehow, I was switching channels and I glued on to this movie, may be because it had an Indian feel to it. My 3 hrs 15 mins flight went away in a flash with this movie. The plot and treatment were very Indian, though it was a Korean movie with English subtitles. Can be an

Thanks to my friend Tejus who gave me the link of one of the most hilarious videos on the earth. Its none other than the Great Indian Karadi T.Rajendar who speaks or rather shouts out his opinions in an interview to Indiaglitz. The questions are also put through in such a way to extract the standard comedies from the Karadi.As the video was downloading, I took a few screenshots that shows Karadi

Nothing could be bigger than this in Tamil Cinema. AVM’s Production, Super Star Rajinikanth, director Shankar and A.R.Rahman’s music. Sivaji is definitely the biggest film in Tamil Cinema. The audio of such a huge film has been released on April 2nd. I expected a lot from this audio, feeling this should be the best, but it sounds just good to me and nothing more.I rate the songs normally based on

Its all about the cries, yells, shouts and useless talks going on everywhere about Indian cricket team and their poor performance in World Cup. I would say, the disappointment caused for fans is only due to the attitude of fans themselves and nothing else...The utmost stupidity of giving more importance to cricket than any other sports, considering cricket to be the prestige of India and

And I take this opportunity to post an article from Rediff.com about my Goddess :-DIndia's Best actresses ever - No.1: Madhuri DixitIndia's sweetheart.

I happened to watch this movie on TV few days back, on a Saturday morning. Its one of the best examples to show that there is no one like Faasil to make entertaining family fares with his strong focus on relationships.A simple story, remade from "Nokkathaa Dhoorathu Kannum Nattu" in Malayalam that revolves around bonding between a lonely grandma and her dying grand daughter. Its so realistic and

Still not out of Bommarillu effect, here is the song from the film sung by Siddharth Narayan. He has done a fantastic job as brilliant as a professional playback singer. A small video of half the song is also there to watch and enjoy!!! :-) Its an excellent song in terms of picturisation, music, lyrics and performance by Siddharth and Genelia...07 - Appudo Ippudo...

I got a chance to watch Bommarillu(Trans: Doll House) atlast, and I really regret for the delay ;-)Once for all, all bad thoughts and assumptions about Telugu Cinema are erased from my mind today. Such pure and feel good films show the real face of Telugu Cinema which is often looked into through the mask of junk masala and violent films, I mean films that are violent on the audience :-DThe

This is one of my most favorite Malayalam songs. The video without dance, vulgarity and heavy beats is a lesson for the contemporaries in Kolly, Tolly and Bolly woods that duet songs can be picturised in this way too... ;-) Not to forget the picturesque Kerala locations in the song... :-)

Note: There is something peculiar or unusual about the railway ticket in the picture posted here. :PFew weeks back, I went to Railway Reservation Counter for canceling a ticket.

The disappointment from Aadhi on his back... Huge expectations of one year from his fans… Heavy responsibility to silence the critics… And the new found responsibility of the Next superstar title conferred on him. Vijay hits a huge sixer crossing all boundaries with Pokkiri, handling all the above said issues with ease. Comparisons with previous Vijay films and the Telugu original are

Top 5 Comedies in Tamil Cinema Industry for the year 2006:1. Simbhu's interview before the release of Vallavan saying "I am the next Shankar after the release of vallavan. You will laugh at this now. But after the release of Vallavan you will regret for laughing now". I guess people know the brickbats he got for the direction in the movie and the long leaps he made before thinking.2. Perarasu's

Just one month before the release of Pokkiri, the songs of this film, one of the most anticipated audios of the year got released today. Its celebration Friday, another mini Diwali for Vijay fans. This review of mine is from a neutral point of view mostly, as I wanted to highlight both the pluses and minuses of the songs. The major pluses of the album are: Its completely youth oriented.

Thanks to the continuous trend of Diwali movie releases.

1) The present CM and Ex-CM of TamilNadu are very busy these days fighting about lives, wives, marks, remarks, etc etc. Will they ever find some time to actively debate on the future plans for Tamil Nadu and the people of TamilNadu? When so many are making it difficult to make both ends meet, so many die starving for food, what is the use of supplying TV sets to poor? Will these guys ever accept

I watched May Maadham again for the nth time today. Still, it seemed like I was watching it for the first time. The amazing music, background score, cinematography and a tinge of realism till the "Minnale.." song ... All these and lots more impress me everytime I watch it.

It is hard to believe that the city always young and vibrant coping up with dozens of cultures, religions, castes and languages had turned the 367th leaf in its book of history.
