Why Ayirathil Oruvan?
Hi friends it is high time, to discuss about the much awaited Tamil film, called as "Ayirathil Oruvan". The meaning of the name title is "One in Thousand" and as a matter of fact the name itself depicts the power of the hero and also the story, which more or less tries to say that it is unique. So I believe you can understand about the title of the movie, but why the name of the movie is very special? The name is so special because this was the title used by the greatest Tamil actor MGR for one of his film and that adds power to this title.You can watch the traile of the movie here
Cast and Crew of the film:
This film is one of the most expected films for more than a year and the film was shot for more than two years. This film is directed by one of the well known and special director called "Selvaraghavan" and he is famous for films like Kadhal Kondein, 7 G Rainbow colony and the Telugu blockbuster Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule .Virtually all his film were huge hit and one of his film "Pudhupettai" was the only film which was not a blockbuster like some of his other films. This has made Selvaraghavan, as the trusted director in Tamil Cinema.
Karti Sivakumar has played the lead role in this film, and he is playing the character of Muthu.
Reemma Sen played the character of Anitha and Andrea Jeremiah as Lavanya.
Nut the interesting aspect of the movie is that, famous Tamil hero Parthiban has played a negative role and it is believed he has played the character of Chola King.
The positive aspect of the film is the music and GV Prakash Kumar has composed the music for this film. This is a really tough task him, because this is a very different subject and we can also say that this is the first time, these kind of movie is directed in Tamil cinema. A lot of research work was done by Selvaraghavan and GV Prakash Kumar, because they need to bring the imaginary music that was existed in the 12th century.
The cinematography for this film is done by Ramji and we can see impact in the trailer itself. Amazing camera work and I believe an award waits for him.
We must appreciate the confidence and patience of the producer R. Ravindran, because this film took more than 2 years to complete and the budget is also very high, 32 crores. This film is distributed by Dream World Spotlight Motion Pictures
Kola Bhaskar has done the editing for this film and let us wait to watch the effect in the movie, which is all set to release on 14th January 2010, for Pongal.
About the movie:
The shooting for the film was started on July 2007 and they have worked really hard, as the shooting went for nearly three years. This shows the efforts and works done in the pre and post production work also. This is a more or less like an Indiana Jones movies, as the trailer suggest, but some reports says that this is about a story, which goes to the past, in 12th century, where they meet historical Tamil cultures and Kings.
This is yet another important movie for Karti, because like Parutheveeran, he is doing a role of an ordinary man (who doesn’t care about anything) and it is said he is doing a role of a load man from North Chennai in this movie. So Karti who made an impact in Parutheveran, yet missed a National Award, is all set to give a great performance in this film and let us keep our fingers crossed about his National Award dreams. In short we can say there is no lack of talent in Sivakumar's family, as his elder son Surya Sivakumar is already a leading actor in Tamil Cinema Industry.
Rumours also suggest that Andrea and Reema Sen were archeologists who was trying to get a treasure, and they do this with the help of Karti. The trailer also explains the presence of lot of snakes in the movie. This movie was shot all over India and some of the places includes, Chalakudy, Kerala; Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
Produced at a budget of around 32 crores, this film right was already sold for 35 crores and the film is also set to break all box office record. This film is also dubbed in Telugu with the title," Yuganiki Okkadu" and it is believed that this will also be a hit in Telugu, because Selvaraghavan has already made an impact in Telugu film industry.
The songs of this film have already become a huge hit and to be specific "Un Mela Asaithan" sung by Dhanush have already reached all the audiences. Maalai Neram sung by Andreah and G.V.Prkash Kumar, is a melodious song and this is going to be a great treat for all the fans.

So let us believe that this film does well at the Box office, and advance Happy Pongal to all Boddunan members.
An Inspirational movie:
Hi friends in this article let us discuss about one of the best Hindi films which I have ever seen, which broke almost every box office record in the history of Hindi films. I believe you might have guessed about the film which we are discussing and it is none other than the Amir Khan Starrer inspirational movie called "3 Idiots". We can learn a lot form this movie and I personally believe this is a great movie or the school children, because they have a clear idea of choosing their carrier on their own wish. More importantly, this film is very useful for the parents because they might change after seeing this film and can leave the decision to their child, to chose his/her carrier, rather than compelling them to take a field, which they are not interested in.
Chetan Baghat vs Rajkumar Hirani
This movie is believed to be based on the Chetan Baghat's novel "Five Point Someone" and this has created a lot of controversies after the release of the film. So you can understand this problem based on the statements give by both of them.
When the film was about to release, Rajkumar Hirani stated
" Chetan gave me this book to read and I wanted to make a film on it. But I knew right from the start that I could not make a film completely on the book, as it was very anecdotal and a film needs a plot. So I had decided to rewrite it in a screenplay format. You'll see that the film is very different from the book. After I wrote the script, I called Chetan and narrated it to him. I told him that if he did not like the script, I would stop the project. But he was okay with it"
But after the stupendous success of the film, as it grossed 100 crores in just 4 days, Chetan Baghat gave a statement and according to the statement,
" Initially I did sit down with Raju and Abhijat (Abhijat Joshi has done the screenplay in this movie) while they were deciding to make a film based on '5 Point Someone'. I even went to IIT with Abhijat a couple of times. But it was just not possible for me to be involved at every stage of the screenplay writing process since I was in Hong Kong at that time, working full time and busy writing other books. Moreover, Abhijat is based in USA, Raju was in the US for quite a while working on the screenplay but it was not practical for me to do that [...] The film retains the soul of the book. 3 Idiots is different from the book but at the same time it does borrow many things from the book. The core theme and message of the film is coming from the book itself. And that's why the makers have officially credited the film as 'Based on a novel by Chetan Bhagat"
So we just forget all these controversies, because we want to enjoy the film, rather than analyzing the inside story, and we move further about the story of the film in this article.
Movie Review:
The film starts when R. Madhavan(Farhan Qureshi) takes a flight and he plays a drama to stop the flight, because he receive s all from "Silencer", Chatur Ramalingam, as he knows about the whereabouts of Amir Khan(Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad). Then he picks his friend Raju Rastogi on the way and enters his college after ten years to meet Silence. But there Farhan and Raju was shocked to know that Rancho was not there.
Then Silencer, who is always against the three friends Rancho, Raju and Farhan during his college days, says that he came to that place to keep his promise (Challenge), that he made with Rancho 10 years ago. Then all the three travels to Shimla, with a hope that Rancho would be there, as Silencer got some information regarding Rancho. On their way to Shimla, Farhan explains the beautiful college life that he had with Rancho and Raju, and we can also understand that Rancho was very practical in his approach rather than being a book worm, like Silencer.
When they reached Shimla, they were taken by surprise to know that Amir Khan was not actual Rancho, and he just came to college in the name of Rancho to get a degree for his master's son. Later another clue changes their destination to Ladakh, because they get news that Amir Khan was there in Ladakh and he was serving as a School teacher.
Again in the flashback, the story movies very interestingly and this time it also explains the love story between Amir and Karrena. The most important character in this film is Viru Sahastrabudhhe, also called as VIRUS, and this character was played by Boman Irani. He is the director of the fictitious college called as Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). He is very strict and Kareena is his daughter. The film moves very fast wit lot of comedy, romance and great feeling, and at last Farhan decides to choose to become a wildlife photographer and Raju was also placed in a company.
The film also expresses the feeling of Virus when Amir helped to operate his elder daughter, who was pregnant and Virus also presents Rancho a prestigious pen. Coming out of the flash back, Raju and Frahan also managed to take Kareena to Ladakh, to meet Amir. When they reached the school in Ladakh all was surprised to see that the students there were implementing the basic engineering techniques in day to day life. This also made them to realize, that this would have been possible only with the help of Amir and they are pretty confident that Amir would be there. Then the film ends when all the friends join and enjoy the moment. Silencer was also there at the scene and he never disappoints to entertain us.
To be frank I don’t know Hindi, but I can understand the story very well and the core concept of the movie is the main reason for it success. This film receive positive reviews from almost various sources and the film has earned around 240 crores(against its budget of 45 crores) in just 19 days from its release. I believe most of you would have seen the movie, and please watch this movie, if you haven’t seen this movie yet.
(watched 28th time..)
As you all know this movie is a masterpiece, a phenomenon, a legend! But I can't stop myself to share my viewes and reasons that why it is on 1st rank on my Top Movies List!
# Script
After big sucess of 'Batman Begins' , it was very difficut to surpass d hype of it but Nolan Bros. don't just satisfy us.. I fact they just amaze us.. makes speechless with such flawless, engaging and timeless classic script! Every character is interpretated so well, especially 'Joker'.. Script gets woven more and more complex from starting to ending, thats d magic of it!
# Performances
Casting is just too perfect. Every1 done his best job. Gary Oldman , Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine.. but especially Lt. Heath Ledger who deliveres not only his career's best job but also making 'Joker' unforgattable character and greatest villain of all time! You can't see a glimpse of Heath in Joker.. even if you want to! The speech, the talking style, psychotic laugh.. all these things makes him more and more chaotic and resolute! But we should not forget Christian Bale who perfectly plays lives of 'Caped Crusader' and 'Bruce Wayne'. Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gylenhall both does adorable job!
# Music and Cinematography
Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard..these two maestroes perfectly creates d sound of Gotham and Chaos in it! Cinematography gives darker effect which this movie really needed! These both creates d mood and environment for d story!
# Direction
Christopher Nolan is pure genius! He creates this movie in such a way that you can see the true meaning of character of 'Batman'.. How much pain he has to bear for being vigilante..He potrayes Batman like never before. , he puts CGI effects to less and less priority.. all his attention is to d core of the story.
..It's just not ordinary superhero movie, its fight between good and evil.. spreads true msg of humanity..!

Add to tht, the background fcore makef thif even a better experienfe af it only amplifief the fituation fhown in the film. Hatf off to Vifhal... the beft movie of the year haf arrived finally.
Kaminey if, dark humour, at itf beft. The beft fcene if definitely "Apna Haath Jagannath" which if a meffage too. Thif if Fhahid Kapur'f beft performanfe till date. Fhahid, af Charlie, completely ftole the fhow. As Guddu, he waf fine... faala manhoof. Priyanka Chopra gave a brilliant raw performanfe. The fupporting caft lift the film really well.. Amol Gupte waf fimply too gud. But Mikhail waf a furprife package, a fhow ftealer in every fcene he appeared.

To fummarife in 1 word, I fay, Kaminey if AWEFOME... GO DIFCOVER IT.

Dr. Strangelove ( or How I stop worrying and love the bomb)
All I can say is that it's definitely an intelligent movie! yes.. intelligent coz its d only movie which ca make u laugh at the end of world! Stanley Kubrick is genius! He smartly interoperates d cold war situation and the further possible complications possible because of it. But the most interesting thing about it is that he does it in a very different way, a way that becomes funny and sarcastic and yeah definitely interesting..!
Peter Sellers is talented and I couldn't recognize him in 3 different roles! well my personal favorite was 'Manderek' !! Only thing that confuses me is d title of d movie.. What was d point of Kubrick to make 'Dr. Strangelove' a title..?!!
Any way.. all and all it's an intelligent movie, it’s a drink that you have never tested.. so go for it!
9.0/10
Quantum of Solace
Was this really a BOND movie? or just some low class script passed on as James Bond movie? Bond is a legend and there are something’s associated to him which differentiate between a normal thriller and a Bond movie.
>"Bond. James Bond" is not said a single time in the whole movie.
>James Bond signature theme is missing till the end credits.
>"Shaken, not stirred" dialogue....missing.
>Pathetic villain(compared to the previous deadly foes)
and
>Biggest complaint....the gun-shot and flowing blood which comes in first scene of every Bond movie..comes in the last scene.
So why exactly is this a "Bond" movie?
I don't know...only good thing is the action scenes...but if u want to see that....much better option is BOURNE Series.
rating :: 5/10
High Fidelity
This is a good one time watch flick.
John Cusack is very charming in his act but this is not serendipity.
But still the narration n the story is quite good.
6.7/10

PAN'S LABYRNITH
It’s a movie with a dramatic story with the fantasy element added nicely to it. The smooth story telling with a little element of suspense really does wonder. This is a very good movie to watch.
8/10
Meet the Fokker’s
Well it was first time I watched Robert de Niro in a comic mood, and as always he stands out from the rest. He makes his character completely believable and never tries to act funny unlike Ben Stiller but is able to generate more laughs. Dustin Hoffman also provides some good laughs.
My Rating- 7.5/10
ATONEMENT
Cast: James McAvoy,Keira Knightly
Plot: A 13 yr old young girl accuses her elder sister's lover of s crime he didn’t commit...a story of unfulfilled love.
Review: There is a reason some people find European movies better than Hollywood's...its the depth. Less pace, lesser style but the feel remains all the way.....an epic masterpiece of 2007 based on a love story during WW2...a tale of resurrection, repentence & retrospection.........here is Atonement for you.
Rating: 9/10
Clerks II
..worked in parts for me.. somehow I really didnt enjoy the chracters. I expected to be through out hilarious, but it wasn't! Though I laughed at some particular scenes .. like comments about LOR vs. Star Wars.. ..and some other scenes, but all over it was an average for me!
P.S. I enjoyed this dir. Kevin Smith's 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' more!
5.7/10
Haunting In Connecticut
it was a good movie overall...was a horror movie. Based on true story. You should watch it at least once.
I would give it
