About the movie
The movie starts when Tarun and Sruti calls for a taxi so that they could take their mother , who is pregnant , along with their father to the hospital.They also decided to keep their child's name as Anjali, as they believe that they would have a girl child.They reach the hospital and Chitra gives birth to a girl child, but Doctor and Sekhar gives Chira the bad news that her child was dead.This made the whole family worry.
To overcome these thoughts, after few years the family moves to a new apartment which contains lots of families and more importantly many children.This was a positive move as they except that everything will change and as a result of this they start to live happily.
The important problem in the apartment is the children as they are usually naughty and they make lots of problems and one such problem is that they always make fun of the Ex- Watchman,Janakaraj, who is mentally retarded and they also usually tease make fun of all the elders.
They also helped the lovers from their parents and with these children the entire apartment becomes lively.At first when sekhar's family comes to the apartment the wont accept Arjun and Anu as their friends and they usually involve in quarrel.But after some time they become friends and all were happy.Another important character the whole apartment is afraid of is Prabhu,who is an ex-convict and he lives alone in his flat.
Everything was going well until one evening, the New Year Eve, when Arjun went out with his friends to celebrate it saw his father with another woman.When he returns home Chitra scolded her for being late and when Sekhar comes home Chitra asks Sekhar to beat Arjun and that time Tarun says Chitra that he saw his father with another woman but Sekhar refuses this and says Chitra Arjun was lying, and Chitra also believed it.
After some day Chitra along with Arjun and Anu goes to the construction site where Sekhar was working and she notices that he was not there and leaves home.That night Sekar comes home late and when Chitra asks why he was late he said that he had an important work in the site and Chitra found that he was lying and the problem begins as Chitra thinks that Sekhar was having an affair with some other woman and asks to promise to forget that woman for the benefit of the children.
After some day when Chitra was travelling in a bus she sees Sekhar was walking with another woman in the platform.On seeing this she got down from the bus and followed them to a hospital.After that she comes to the apartment and she decides to go out of the apartment with his children as she thinks Sekhar was cheating.
At that time Sekhar comes and stops here and he broke the secret that their daughter(Called as Anjali), who everbody believed was dead when she was born, was alive and he also takes Chitra to the Ashram where Anjali lives as she was mentally retarded.Sekhar says that Anjali was not born dead but her condition was very pathetic and doctor believed that she can't be alive for more than 4 days.
So Sekhar and the Doctor have decided to say that the child was dead .But surprisingly the child managed to live for a longer time than expected but the development of brain was normal.After hearing this Chitra decides to take their daughter to their apartment knowing the condition that Anjali was ill and may die any time.
They took Anjali to their appartment and every family in the appartment had bad idea about the child.Arjun and Anu didn't accept Anjali as they were not interested in accpeting the mentally retarded child as their sister and they believed that everybody will tease them.
When Arjun and Anu were returning from the school, they say their friends were making fun of Anjali, as she was not mentally normal and seeing this Arjun got angry and he started to quarrel with them and ends in injury.At the same time Anu takes Anjali to her flat and beats Anjali, as she believed that Anjali was responsible for Arjun getting hurt.
When the problem was over Anjali comes to Arjun's room and she cries after seeing Arjun being hurt and from this time onwards both Arjun and Anu realise that she is precious and started to be kind with Anjali.Now Arjun goes with Anjai and introduced her as his sister to his friends with whom he was quarreling and he also challenges to tease her now if anybody has guts.
But this doesn't end in quarrel again as everybody accepted Anjali and they were very fond of her.All were happy.
One day Sekhar witness a murder and he knew that the murderer was Dharma and informs police , who arrested him.Apart from this Chitra was shocked to see Anjali in Prabhu's flat and she wasrn Prabhu not to see Anjali again as he was a ex- murderer who spent 10 years in jail.
During the Apartment meeting everyone asked Sekhar to move out of the apartment of to leave the child in the mental hospital as they believe that the Anjai's presence will disturb the behaviour of their children and this made Sekhar angry and leaves that place after scolding them.
This time Prabhu comes and warns the members of the apartment and he said that no one has rights to move this innocent child out of the apartment and he also says other to be perfect before asking this innocent child to go.
At this time Chitra who believe Prabhu was an arrogant man now realsise he was a good hearted man and only circumstance made him to do the murer and he also has some reason for that.
One day Police Commisioner calls Sekhar to be careful as Dharma has come out in bail and as expected he comes to the appartmet and kinaps Arjun and ask Sekhar to com out.But during that time prabhu was in their flat and after attending the all he goed down and kills Dharma and he was arrested again. he also believed no problem will come to Sekar's family hereafter.
When everthing was fine, one day, early in the morning, Anu comes to Anjali's rooma nd tries to wake Anjali but in vain and so she calls her brother Arjun, who finds that Anjali was dead.But Anu who doesn't know this calls her dad, mother and all her friends in the apartment to wake Anjali.This scene was excellent and Anu's acting especially in this scene was awesome.Finally the film ends with Anjali's death.
Hi friends in this article let us go some 43 years back and see one of the highest rated movie in IMDB and that is "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", which was released in 1966.Well I ve watched this movie just before writing this article and i assure you this is a good one but some might feel it is too slow to watch, but from my point of view I like the way in which the director has done this movie.
This frank is actually the third part of the trilogy,"The Dollers Trilogy", with the previous two parts being A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. To be very frank it is a very slow movie and it is around three hours but when you are a movie lover and that too if you are a fan of Cow boy type movies and that too adventurous, here is the right movie.
Mostly flimmed in the desert area, the theme of the movie is "Target is money, kill anyone who interrupt in the way".But the most important thing is that the movie also presents three important characters as the movie name says,i.e., the good, the bad and the ugly.
From my point of view I very much admired the character The Ugly and his character is more or less like the famous character in the American TV serial "PRISON BREAK" , Tee Bag.When I watched this movie this ugly character resembled the Tee Bag character in the Prison Break.
I guess some of you would have watched Prsion Break, for those who didn't get chance to watch, i will explain what is the character of Tee Bag.Well it is more or less the Chameleon type, where the Chameleon animal changes its color according to the situation very quick and the similar way the Ugly character in this film also change according to the condition, with money being his target.But I assure you that he is also seen as the comedian as he makes us laugh.
Apart from this character the other characters, i.e. the good and the bad are also money oriented but the way the approach marks their character name.The Good, will always be patient and he will never tortures others unless they disturb him and he is light hearted to an extent.The bad character can be distinguished from the ugly character in a way that he never changes his character as he is too bad and kills others unnecessarily.
Technical crew of this film

Artists and casts
The name itself implies three main characters and these includes
i)Clint Eastwood as Blondie, to be specific he is "THE GOOD".He is so calm and never gets excited,but he is keen in his job.He accepted to act in this movie for 250,000 USD and also 10 % of the revenue form the North American Market.
Clin Eastwood who was acting in TV series earlier, utilized this opportunity and as a matter of fact this film is the turning point in his career and after this film in his Carrier he has won 4 Oscar Awards under the category, Best Picture and Best Director, for his film Unforgiven and Million Dollar Babby which was released in 1993 and 2005 respectively.
ii)Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes, to be specific he is "THE BAD".His character is simple kill anyone in his path for the money and never changes his character as he is ruthless and never feels bad for the sin of killing people.
Initially the director chose Charles Bronson for this character. But Charles was already committed for the film "The Dirty Dozen" and he has to reject his offer, which naturally gave way to Lee Van Cleef.The reason why the director hesitated for the first time to chose Lee Van Cleef is that in his previous film "For a Few Dollars More", his character was soft and romantic and he was worried how Lee Van Cleef will adopt to the Bad character.But to everyone's surprise his character was appreciated by all and to be frank I also loved this character better than that of Eastwood's.
iii)Now comes the character which I really admire and none other than "THE UGLY".Eli Wallach done this role and in this movie he is called as Tuco.Even his character was initialised at first instant and he was selected because of his comic character.
Before Eli Wallach, the director was in the idea of choosing Gian Maria Volonte for this role.This is the most important character and this is very close to Director and this made both the director and Eli very good friends.Only for this character we knew something about his history.
About the movie
It was during the middle of the American Civil War and the film starts in an abandoned village when three bounty hunters comes to the village in horses with the guns.They knew that Tuco was hiding in one of the building in that village and they want them to catch him as the Government announced 2000 USD for those who bring him alive.
So the three hunters goes inside an abandoned motel and it seems they are going to finish the job as they were shown very powerful and rough character.But after some gun fire, suddenly a man comes out of the motel breaking the glasses and escapes in a horse.After that they show that the three hunters were shot down by that man.This was none other than Tuco and he was introduced as "THE UGLY" when he was shown for the first time.
Next is the introduction of the character "THE BAD" and his motive was to find Bill Carson and in this scene he enters a village and goes inside a house, where he meets a former soldier Stevens and asks in which name Jackson was hiding and he was given USD 500 for this job by his boss.
Stevens was afraid and he says that Bill Carson was the new name of Jackson and he agrees to pay 1000 USD so that he could not be killed. But Angel kills him and also his son when being interrupted.Later he takes that 1000 USD and kills his boss after getting the name and he says that he was given 1000 USS for this job and he do whatever for money and this is enough to reveal this character.
Then it is shown that Tuco was ridding in a horse in the desert where he was caught by three bounty hunters who wants to capture him for the reward.This is the introduction of "THE GOOD" character, Blondie , where he saves Tuco form these hunters and to Tuco's surprise he kidnaps him and hands over to the Local town's Sheriff as he was most wanted.
But to everybody's surprise when Tuco was about to be hanged Blondie saves him by shooting at the rope when he was about to be hanged.After this both of them shares the money and they decides to implement this plan in another town and as per the plane Blondie hands Tuco to the Sheriff for 3000 USD and also saves him when he was about to be hanged.
But this time Blondie says that the partnership his over and he leaves Tuco in the desert without giving his share.Then Angel goes to a village and threatens a girl about the whereabouts of Bill Carson and finally he gets some information that he left a week ago.
Meanwhile tuco manages to escape from the desert and with the help of his friends he also found the horse of Blondie in a motel and he also catches him, after loosing his friends which he did intentionaly.But that time a huge explosion occurs and this saves Blondie and he escapes form that place.
But Tuco somehow manages to find Blondie and he marches him across the harsh desert, while he followed him in a horse.At one point of time Blondie was totally dehydrated and tired and Tuco decides to kill him.
At this time Tuco finds a runway carriage approaching him and he finds the bodies of Confederate soldiers. But there was one soldier who was alive and he said his name was Bill Carson and he asks Tuco for water and he is ready to pay even 200,000 USD for this.
Teco asks for the exact place where the money was kept and Bill Carson said it was in one of the grave located in Sad Hill cemetery and when Tuco asks for the name of the grave he asked to give water first.So Tuco goes to get water but when he returns he finds Bill was dead and he also noticed Blondie was found next to him and Blondie said that Bill said him a name of the Grave yard, before he becomes unconscious.
Then he takes the carriage along with Blondie disguised as the Confederate soldiers as they were wearing their dress and then he takes Blondie to a hospital(A old church) and he also said his name was Bill Carson and asks the father to help Blondie as he was ver close to him, but the only intention being getting the name of the Grave.
There Tuco finds his brother and this is the only time we know the past of any of our three characters and his brother who was a father says that he ran away from house when their parenst was killed and Tuco finally ends in a quarrel and leaves that place along with Blondie, who has recovered by that time.
While they were travelling in the carriage they found group of soldiers approaching them in gray shirts and they believed that it was Confederate soldiers and when they approached closer they found that their shirts was covered by dust and that made their shirt look like gray and at this time Blondie and Tuco found that they were Union soldiers and they were captured and kept in Union Prison.
Angel who was the superior officer there finds that one of the recently captured prisoner was bill carson(Actually it was tuco who said his name was Bill Carson) and he tortures Tuco and finds the secret that Tuco had,i.e., the money was in Sad Hill cemetery and Blondie knew the exact grave where it was kept.
So the next day Angel along with 5 of his officer takes Blondie to the Sad Hil cemetery and also sends Tuco with one of his office in the train for his execution.But somehow Tuco manages to escape form the officer and he reaches the town where Blondie, Angel and other 5 officers were staying.
Later Blondie manages to escape form Angel and then he was surprised to see Tuco there and after that they both joined together and they killed all the 5 soldiers those who came with Angel but Angel escaped from that place, but the problem is he knew where the money will be but he doesn't know the grave name, which was known only by Blondie.
On the way to the Sad Hill cemetery Tuco and Blondie caught in the fight between and union soldiers over a bridge and both of them finally managed to destroy the bridge with the help of explosiveve and when there were no soldiers left as the bridge was destoyed, Tuco goes to the Sad hill Sementry, before he exchanged the secret information with Blondie when he said the money was in the grave name called Arch Stanton.The image below shows Tuco and Blondie tries to blow up the bridge with the help of the explosives.
When they reach that grave they fond Angel was there and he holds the both at the gun point.But Blondie says that the money wont be there as he didn't say the exact name of the grave.Later all three stare at each other as they were looking for the correct alliance, and by this time Blondie manages to shoot Angel and when Tuco fires his gun he finds there was no bullet and he understood that Blondie was responsible for this.
Now Blondie says that Bill carson said that the money was in an Unknown grave which was located before the grave named Arch Stanton and after that he asks Tuco to dig the grave and there they founds four bags full of coins, worth 200,000 USD.
Then Tuco was under the gunpoint of Blondie and he also forces Tuco atop a grave marker and also asked him to wraps the noose around his neck.He also tied his hand and Tuco cant move or he will be dead.
After that Blondie takes half of the money and leaves that place.After moving some distance he shoots at the rope and saves Tuco and leaves the place with Tuco scolding and shouting at him.
The IMDB rating for this movie is 9 out of 10.
Genre: The Ugly Truth is supposed to be a romantic comedy movie.
Certification: The movie is strictly for adults mainly due to adult language and brief nudity.
Cast: The movie revolves around three main characters, namely Abby Richter played by Katherine Heigl, popular for her role in television series Grey's Anatomy, Mike Chadway played by Gerard Butler famous after the movie '300' and Colin played by Eric Winter.
Movie rating: 5 out of 10
Plot: Katherine is the director of a television program. Her show is not doing well and ends up teaming with Gerard. Gerard is a self proclaimed Guru of relationship. Katherine does not like Gerard because his views on male and female gender is opposite of her views. While they have their little arguments Katherine happens to meet Eric who seems like the man of her dreams. Does Katherine find the right man in Eric or was Gerard right about relations and men is what you find at the end of the movie. The movie is a sort of romantic comedy.
Although the movie was intended to be comedy, there are hardly any funny moments. At the best some scenes may make you smile. Most of the humor in the movie is adult based. There are plenty of dialogue intended towards adults. The movie also has scenes involving nudity. However it’s the dialogues which really make the movie for adult audience. The romance part of the movie is also confusing. Don’t expect to find any truth about men or women from Gerard. Apply his ideas in real life at your own risk.
Overall there is not much comedy or romance in the movie. However the movie tends to keep you involved and before you know it the movie ends. Hence the rating of 5 out of 10.

Finally Meena wins the case as the court agrees to give divorce.According to this verdict Pandian can meet her daughter Bharathi every Friday and that too in a public Place.So Pandian meets her daughter every Friday in a temple.But Bharathi wants to live with her father rather than mother.
After some days Pandian sees and advertisement in a newspaper that Vishwanathan Iyer was in search of a servant maid who can also takes care of his granddaughter.After seeing this advertisement she calls him and speaks in a lady voice and when Vishwanathan Iyer asks for her name he first struggles and later he sees the street name as Avvai Shanmugan Street and says his name as Avvai Shanmugi.
Then he goes to Nagesh and asks for his help. Nagesh accepted his offer for 20,000 rupees and he assured him that he could change him as old lady with the help of his Make up techniques.For this Pandian sells his bike and gives the money to him but still there is a shortage of money.Finally Pandian becomes Avvai Shanmugi and he goes for the interview in a Ladies bus, but Nagesh says that he make up stays only for 5 hours.

Seeing this he beats Sethuraman Iyer and by this time Avvai Shanmugi now comes as Pandian and he rescues Sethuraman Iyer and says to mudhaliar that Sethuraman Iyer was the husband of Avvai Shanmugi.Pandian says a different story to Sethuraman Iyer that Mudhaliyar was the husband of Avvai Shanmugi.

Comedy / Action / Drama
Thumbs Down ... !!
Only One Chasing Scene Is Good/impressive And
Rest Of The Story Seems Vijay's Style
Vadivelu Did His Best & Saroja Devi Great Come Back
The Ending Is Not believable, Typical Classic Kollywood Style, ..
I Know Its A Negative Review But Am Saying As It Is,
The Only Plus Point In The Movie Is Surya, Nayantara Is Complete Waste!

6/10
Comedy / Romance / Action
Its A Romantic Comedy, & Only First Half Is Good, 2nd Half Is Action
Vinay's Movie Never Failed But
This Flick Is Average At Box Office...
Hariharan-Leslie's Music Is The Plus Point, Some Logic Is Missing In The End
Editing Is Good And Showing Actor's Some Imagined Things Are New,,
Overall, If You Know Language Worth A Watch ... :(

Very Impressive Movie
What We Can Expect In Steven Spielberg's Movie As A Directer or Producer!!? Huh
Modern Technologies, Next Generation Tech/Story, Fantasy Of Future!
Like "War Of World" "Artificial Intelligence" "Back to the Future" etc.
Ther Is No terrorist Attack, Everything Within Technology ..
Some National Security System Auto Activate Herself & Control Whole Satellite Signals
Two Strangers Jerry Shaw(Shia LaBeouf) And Rachel Holloman Are Controlled By Her To Do What She Need..
The Rest Of Story Is How The FBI & Other NSF(National Security Force) Gonna Stop Her & Them Two.,
Movie Is On Fast Pace,

An Affair to Remember ( 1957 )
Ghatikudu [Telugu][Aadhavan in Tamil]
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
i generaly love Matthew McConaughey movies..but cant say the same about this one...after seeing "Failure to Launch" i was expecting much more from this one...and it did not deliver at all...touted as a rom com...it turned out to be pretty boring and slow paced...Matthew McConaughey was good as usual..Michael douglas did his bit...Jennifer ganrer look really old! the film had a few good moments here n thre..but dfntly not a saturdat evening watch.

Public enemies......
well the movie is gud.....
end messed it up but cant blame nyone coz its more of a biography nd had to show wat really happened...
more of a performance oriented movie...
though not a big fan of depp but he did commnedable job in this.....
still feel some one like guy pearce or matt demon wud have suited dillenger more....
but it was depp`s star power tht made this movie a hit.....nthng taking from him...great expressions....
christian bale was awl right in his role as the agent....
all in all good flick for the specific genre only....
6.5/10
The Girl Next Door - 2004
I didn't expect much from this movie but i am quite impressed, it was good. Even though there were some unnecessary sequences, cliche rom-com stuff .. but this movie does stand out because of the chemistry between the lead couple.
Elisha Cuthbert was hot .. Emile Hirsch and Ryan Gosling are two actors i always love to watch on screen. It could've been a little shorter but still it was good.
7/10
BRUNO
wat can i say..
m speechless
I WAS FEELING AS IF I WAS WATCHING GAY PORN
dis movie redefines the term crude/vulgar comedy
i hav seen many sex comedies also but dis by far is the crudest
several shots of penis,butt,dildo, pop out in every 15-20 mins
we see to male characters smooching each other for like almost 2 minutes
but the worst of all
a penis is seen on the screen dats literally dancing..and later d penis shouts BRUNO
d only saving grace of dis movie is its runtime and sacha baron cohen's performance.its hardly an 80 mins film
dis movie is realy enjoyble but d prob is d extent of male nudity..
it jus plays on male nudity and hence many also found dat hilarious.
i hav seen sacha's alig,borat but his best work is bruno..
watch it only if u like vulgar/crude movies.
7/10
