One flew over Cuckoo's nest, on its exterior is a movie about mentallly handicapped people and a person trying to escape from that asylum into a free world.But the beauty of the movie lies in the title itself which reflects the life of subroutine homo sapien.The mentally handicapped people has a limited piece of imagination.Their thoughts, their regular routines are always confined to their little minds. They are enveloping their ideas into a cuckoo's nest. An innocent cuckoo's nest.They fear their superiors, here a wicked nurse called Ratched.They drill their subroutine as per her instructions. They have their cuckoo's nest hanging on the branch held by these superiors. When their minds are cocooned with such limited imaginations meet a free bird always destined to fly, never meant to be caged, They will find a blessing in disguise.They realize what their wings are for.They peek their heads out of cuckoo's nest. They learn to fly. They learn to live Life.They will become elixirs of their self imagination.
Humans these days are no different than the mentally disordered people except that they are the ordered ones.The people in this contemporary world are forced to embellish their minds into cuckoo's nests.The cuckoo's nest contain a subroutine which starts as early as 7 in the morning.They press the accelerator to get themselves in time, swinging in jam packed vehicles, Waiting frequently due to traffic congestion.When they reach the office,they make themselves in the center of this nest. They neither see the world outside nor they ever try to look at it. This part consumes their lion's share and They start to leave to their homes swinging and waiting.They have their supper and spend a few moments with people eventually getting tired and falling into the dreams.I wonder when the people dream, will their dreams even dwell inside their nests or will they come out then to look the world outside ?
The world we live in is interwoven with different hierarchies.Its plight to say in these days that, Humans when felt of habituated to their live less life, They never try to come out of that instead They accommodate their minds into new nest, a bigger one much more complex to come out. One point of their life, They realize themselves jailed in the nest so much that when they try to come out of it,I am afraid, It might have become too late for them to explore the world with their jaded wings.Its already been a life time!!Only they are left to live their life imagining how beautiful, wise, serene free and moreover lively the world outside.Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying.
This is a comical movie, which has been released in three languages: English, Hindi, and Tamil on Aug 28,2009.

The film is hilarious till the end and provides enough entertainment. Murugun with his cap and pistols appears like a true cowboy. His stylish clothes and some of his English dialogues like “Mind it”, “The whole creation is my native place” are billiant. Rambha As Mango Dolly, Murugan’s secret lover, plays her role well. Anu Menon as Murugan’s ‘Locket’ lover is another innovative idea in this picture.The special effects in the film are superb and the music scored by Sagar Desai is average.

Overview:
Hi friends in this article let us discuss about a Tamil film called "Love Today" which was released in 1977. As a matter of fact Joseph Vijay (also called as Ilaya Thalapathi) was the hero in this film and this turned out to be a great movie to Vijay. Really during those time, almost every individual in Tamil Nadu liked him very much, because he was so polite even in the movies and also performs well in his character. But unfortunately at present the trend is changing and his idea of becoming a mass hero has resulted in loss of his fan base. Some of his films released during those periods were very well and people also accepted it.
Coming back to this movie, Love today, this can rated as the movies which had a very different climax, yet a powerful one. Though the climax was not positive, the director made sure that the climax of the film is very touching. Hope all the Tamil cinema fans would have watched this movie, and for those who didn't get any chance to watch this movie, I believe the review will help you to know about the story of the film.
Story line:
This film was directed by a debutant director, Balasekaran, who also worked under the legendary director K.Balachandar. Balasekaran also directed some of the notable films like Thulli Thirindha Kalam, which also has a message and in 2007 he directed the film called Arya, starring R.Madhavan and Bavana.
"Love today" was released in the year 2007 and the leading star in this film includes Vijay, Suvalatshmi. Two veteran actors (who are no more), Raghuvaran and Rajan P. Dev ha s played a great role in this film as they were the father's of Vijay and Suvalatshmi respectively.Vijay played the character of Ganesh, while Suvalatshmi played the role of Sandhya.
Vijay's father, Raghuvaran( Dr.Chandrasekhar in this film), is a Government Doctor, whereas Rajan P. Dev( as Vasudevan in this film) is an arrogant police Inspector. Ganesh has finished his B.Sc graduate and he falls in love with Sandhya but he waits for more than 3 years to express his love to her. The main sources of comedy in this film were none other than Ganesh's friends and it includes Karan (Peter in this film) Sriman, the entertaining Thamu and others.
Ganesh's friends suggest hi different ideas to make Sandhya fall in love with him, but unfortunately all their plans fail. Peter also asks help with Mandhra, who was Sandhays close friend. Initially Mandhra was not interested in helping Ganesh, but later she accepts to help Ganesh after she understood that Ganesh was very sincere in his love. She also helps Ganesh in recording Sandya's voice, and Ganesh tamper this audio as such he and Sandhya were talking.
Even though Ganesh was very sincere in his love, Sandhya was very orthodox and she never like him and also love. Her only aim was to get a Gold medal in the college. At one instant Ganesh decides to propose his love to Sandhya, but it was very unfortunate for him, because Vasudevan came to that spot, when Ganesh gave the love letter to Sandhya. Then Vasudevan takes him to the police station and after knowing this Ganesh's father Chandrasekhar took effort to save him from the police.
Ganesh was very clear that Sandhya was very important in his life but at the same time he always has higher priority to his father, because Ganesh and his father behaved like a very good friends. Understanding the problem of his son, Chandrasekhar meets Vasudevan and expresses his desire to make Sandhya as his daughter- in- law. But as expected, Vasudevan humiliates him.
So Vasudevan decides to shift his family to Bangalore. Unable to find the whereabouts of Sandhya, Ganesh was very much worried and finally he got the information that Sandhya was in Bangalore. But unexpectedly, Sandhya's father dropped the plan of going to Bangalore after getting into the bus and returns home. But Ganesh who thought Sandhya was in Bangalore, decides to leave for Bangalore. While he was travelling in a bus to Bangalore, he also sees a lot of crowd gathered in the road, trying to save an injured man who met with an accident.
But it is unfortunate for him, because he never realizes that the person who met with the accident was none other than his father. He travels to Bangalore and the director made sure the film moves very interestingly as he made sure that Ganesh failed to watch the death poster of his father, which was pasted in all Bangalore – Chennai bus. Meanwhile in Chennai, the death of Ganesh's father made Ganesh's friend very much worried and adding to their sorrow Ganesh was also not there to do the final rites to his father. This is really a touching scene, because this expresses the fate of a son, who was not able to do his final rites to his father.
When Ganesh returned to Chennai, he managed to see the death poster in the auto which he came and after seeing this, he just threw his entire luggage to his house. This is really one of the best scenes in the film and hats off to Vijay for his great natural performance. When he reaches his house, he learnt that his friend did the last rites for his father and he just felt as if he was alone in this world.
But the film doesn’t stop here. This film is well known for his different climax and in climax, Sandhya, to everybody's surprised proposed the love to Ganesh. But Ganesh was very clear that his father's death has taught him a lesson and also felt that his love was also indirectly responsible for his father's death. He decides to make the dream of his father, to get a good job, come true, rather than making his dream alive. This is the best part of the movie and shows how a son has a great love and affection towards his father and just threw away his love for his father.
This is a great movie and worth watching.

Easily one of the best bond films made. Though I'm not a big fan of James Bond movies, this one was way better than any of the Bond films Pierce Brosnan starred in (I've not seen Sean Connery or others bond films). The film puts story & performances above the advanced gadgets tht you usually see in Bond films. More sophistication, More realism & More depth.. makes it worth watching.
Daniel Craig, considered an unpopular choice as Bond & everyone doubting his potential n worthiness, just nailed & shut everyone with his performance in this film. He is the truest n finest interpretation of James Bond till now. From the prologue scene to the famous Bond line i.e. My name is Bond, James Bond, Craig was really good, better than Pierce Brosnan anyday who was just style n no substance.
There are some really cool scenes in this film. The prologue, the free-run chase sequence, the airport scene, the car flip n above all, the poker game... this was a Bond treat... with every scene making sense. The way Daniel Craig showed the improvement of James Bond throughout the film was really well-done. The supporting cast werent much great but were just fine.
The ones who are in love with Bond films more for the gadgets might be in for a disappointment. This is more of a character & dialogue driven film, not gadget driven. Another good thing bout this film is tht it remains completely faithful to Ian Fleming's novel. Casino Royale is a complete reboot of the James Bond franchise showing Bond's first assignment & how he got his 00 status. If you want a Bond film with a logical story, then this doesnt disappoint. Go for It.
Daniel Craig IS the Bond, James Bond.
Rating - 7.5/10
