REVIEW...

Well!! after a pretty decent break fr almost a month its me back again with some wierd thoughts which is nt worth a post..But then u guys gotta bear wit it coz if i keep waiting fr some good idea to strike up on my brain n tat i put it down on ths blog i would end up waiting forever..Nw there s nothin much to write about why i dint blog all these days... I was a lil busy with the project n my mom n my sis had come down..n i had to go fr some shoppin wt them n i had my cycle tests....OMG..Forget it!!was too lazy to do it.. One good thing i did all these dayz was i saw many good movies..The best way to njoy ur final semester..:)..Nw am gonna jus brush up my memories n give a brief review of the TOP 3 movies i saw till today..(startin frm Jan 07)..i ve never been a movie buff..n always watch movies wen they make an exit from everyone s minds..well i guess my frst movie fr 2007 was "CAST AWAY"..yeah !!u read tat rite..The Tom Hanks one..Heard frm my blogmate tat its a damn good movie..n it indeed was..Tom Hanks deserves every piece of appreciation for tat movie..Wat i really loved about it was unlike in other English movies whr we ve so many star casts n so many good locations,nice costumes to look upon it had Tom n only him in a no-man's island..It dint ve any sexy-blonde who cud keep us glued on to the screen..No music other than the gushy sounds of the water..Yet was an Oscar nomination..n hey the WILSON..the scenes of Tom wit Wilson were too good..I still wonder hw can a person act so well wen thr s noone bt a ball whom he s talkin to..Hats off to it..No villan ,no heroine!!The movie revolved in n around one single person n cud still maintain the pace fr 2 lon hrs..Tom holds the whole credit fr the movie n the director who cud think n take a movie lik ths n bring out the talent so well outta of the actor..
"Guru"-Mani Ratnam..A much hyped movie..Again its a Mani Ratnam movie..So thr s jus no questions n arguments on tat coz its supposed to ve Mani Sirs tuch on it..A Midas tuch..Nayagan,Roja,Kannatil Muttamittal..U knw i can jus go on n on..Every movie in itself is a masterpiece when its gotta a name MANI RATNAM associated wit it..Guru was no exception.. Abhishek looked good though he had some negative shades to his character..It takes a lot to take out a movie on a real-life giant..Though ppl call it as an inspiration from lives of Mr.Ambani n few other big Bosses of business everyone of us knw it was abt Mr Dhirubhai Ambani n only him..No inspiration n crap..It showed us tht evrthying is right till it does good to a few people..A "Utalitarian" point of view.!!.On the part of acting it had 2 big ppl of the industry..Mr.AB jr n Mrs.AB jr(to be)..The music by Rehman was exceptionally good other than lil problems wt the lyrics..Sorry all Gulzar fans..Am yet to find a meanin fr "Tere Bina" song..The music was too good n Rehaman once again proved tat He s SIMPLY THE BEST..There were a few things wch i found went off the track..eg the last scene..I felt the argument was nt convincing enough to take back all charges against him..Bt then thr are some major flaws in day to day life..Its after all a movie..
N nw the recent flick-"MOZHI"..It topps the chart...it is the best example for the fact that a clean and decent entertainment still sells..Mozhi is a musical love story. It is very light hearted and at the same time, intense portrayal of love between a musician and a deaf and dumb girl.Sounds intersting rite??Yes its a story of a musician who tries to woo a deaf n dumb girl..Though the story is along expected lines, the cast and other technicians make this movie worthy... Jo is the central character, but the others prithviraj, prakash raj and swarnamalya have equal part. In fact the best part of the movie was tht everyone had a part ,a role to play..They did not appear fr the sake of it bt for it..It takes courage n convictions to take up a path tht is so diff frm the usual..Prakashraj consistently did tat wit Duet movies and translated the dreams of creators into realities everytime..Be it AZAGIYA THEEYE wch happens to be the only fav movie till date of my very good fren..N KANDA NAAL MUDAL..Every movie maintains a level of decency, composure..Inshort every movie is ultimately a feel good movie..It reflects the larger than life person Prakash Raj is..Someone who can dare to dream big n turn those into realities..In the world of cinema wch is completely filled up wt Glamour, masala,skin shows ,MOZHI took a diff path..Even if you don't like the movie, i bet you'll end up learning atleast the basics of sign language. Jyothika as Archana steals the show..Wit every movie passing by we can see her growing as an actress..With myraid shades of performances we can find a phenomenal change in her acting prowess..She is deaf, she is mute. But she makes all of us talk volumes about her performance..The best thing about the movie was tat it did not over-sentimentalise the handicaps..Rather than making us all sympathise towards handicaps it showed us they do not need our sympathy.They only need a helping hand , a push from behind to move ahead n lead a healthy ,productive life..There was no gender bias. Thankfully for once, women are portrayed as being absolutely on par with the men .Intelligent n Independent..The charcters in the movie were so professional tat in first few minutes u start gettin a feelin tat JO is deaf n dumb n u wish tat u were a part of the movie..MOZHI offers a fresh and wonderfully modern perspective to relationships between 'normal' human beings for a change, and not glamorous superstars capable of superhuman feats...Delicate humaor,soft music n many such nuances makes the movie much more interesting..The direction by Radha Mohan is flawless,..Prithviraj s subtle performance definitely calls for appreciation... He was a very good eye-vitamin for all gals in the theatre..Besides this the grand sets, Jo's,Karthik's house were too good..Music by Vidyasagar keeps u tuned..N the violin made of pears soap is strikingly good..Prakash Raj s perfect blend of subtle wit n strong character is yet an another strong point of the movie..Swarnamalya s acting was up to the mark..I guess i shud stop being a critic now..
In short Mozhi is a clean entertainer that strongly justifies the tagline tat “It is not the expression, but the emotion.” Indeed!!!
People jus go for it..I went to ths movie wit all my class mates 52 of us wit all trials n tribulations wch made it even more remarkable...
Tats all wit my reviw of movies..There r few others wch i enjoyed bt these were worth mentionin..People in case u ve not seen these movies esp MOZHI please do watch n drop in ur comments In ths post..
Lets tat atleast drives me to come up wit some more posts..:)..
I guess my classmates wud ve confused the title wt the project review we ve onMonday..Bt as usual u can never expect Vids to write abt some sensible crap..
Signin off fr nw..
CHIAO

    Hi Poo Kutty, Nice to see you getting into something different in life. You never know this can become you career, think about it. Engineers are not always born to be engineers but are born to do something else, it is only when they land in engineering colleges they realize that this is not what they wanted to do.
    Well some comments on your style, i think personally it was a bit too long for me, i got bored by the time i came to the end, i think will be great if you can do this in shorter versions..
    I liked the free flow in your thoughts and honest feedback on movies, i personally think cast away is a great movie and just too good, i think it will be long before we will make such movies, though we have far more talented people, the problem is we do not have audience who can appreciate such movies.Holly wood it just full fo wonderful movies, less songs to the point short films..On Guru i surely think the movie is based on Dhiru Bhai Ambani and personally i have great regards for him and what he did to Indian dreams and how he possibly wen around the system, lot many things are told bout him and the way reliance works but personally i like him and have high regards for him and even for his sons who are doing even better job with RELIANCE...
    I think i did not like the way GURU was presented, i say this at the risk of being one of the very few who say this but i say this because i think if this was made on Dhirubahi it could have been made better..I guess Maniratnam has made better movies like Natagan, Roja, Bombay, i guess in that series this will rank way below.Overall Guru was just average film for me and since i am not too much of music guy so do not really care if the movie had good songs or not, if they are good is a bonus and will listen or else will just move on. on Mozhi will reserve the comments as sitting in Taiwan i hardly get to see latest tamil movies but sure will keep you informed...
    Keep it up poo kutty you have done a good job and not too sure if this is something that you will continue doing. All the best and start enjoying your final few days in college, when you leave it you will be full of memories and enter a place completely different, so work har party harder.
    Well i have said lot of things now for the people who have read this all this long i need to tell you that i was in no mood to write this but got threatned and i was so scared for my life that i penned some thoughts. Sorry to have bored you, i personally felt totally pained putting this ..... Anyways to one and all have a great time and have a peaceful day. Bye for now.

    hey vidu, one thing for sure after reading ur review. U have become a movie-freak and nothing can resist you from doing so. Who knows, u might land up one day as a movie review exxpert like Madan. Great going di. cast away has always been a favourite of mine and I liked the way u reviewed on it. Tom hanks is undoubtadly, one of the greatest actors of this era and this fact is clearly outlayed in this movie.
    "Guru bhai", the way, abhishek is fondly called these days has given a stupendous perfomance in this movie. He has matured with every movie and with Aish by his side, nothing more to ask from him. One of the best pairs in the cine screen as well as in real life, both have to be acknowledged for their perfomance in the movie. but as ashok anna said, we cannot call it "Mani's" best. But, a good effort in portraying the life of Mr. Dhirubhai ambani and making people realize the essence of success in life.
    Well, as far as "Mozhi" is concerned, I cannot review on it, but from the way, u have reviewed it, I hope to watch it soon and give a feedback to u.

    Good job vidu, keep up this good work.
    cheers
    siva

    Have to completely agree with you....Mozhi and Guru, d movie tat no1 can miss....Yet to watch Cast Away, but aftr seeing Forrest Gump startd loving Tom Hanks movie, and even aftr readin ur post if i dont watch, its not worth it....Prakash raj simply amazes,saw Mozhi nearly 5 times.. u dont get a movie better than it,ther's everything perfect and nothing to be blamed by critics...And i never miss Maniratnam,Shankar or a Bala movie, they are the true directors depicting movies with reality....
    Gud work vids...!!!!
