Enthiran review

Rajini....Rajini....Rajini...For the last one week this is the mantra South India chants. Yes, it is for Rajini Kanth's latest much hyped movie "Enthiran". I tried to get tickets for the movie in the first week itself and Contacted many theatres in chennai, but how is it possible in the middle of  fierce Rajini fans? Finally, i got a chance to watch it today (Oct 9) in one of the best theatres in India (Sathyam, Chennai).


The movie is directed by Shankar with Rajini playing a double role, A.R.Rahman musical. Well, it is not a typical Rajini movie, but, in a single word, it is a Sci-Fi technical movie. Tamil cinema or infact Indian cinema might not have seen this kind of a movie. The 2 Hr 54 mins movie will definitely thrill you in all the aspects with some breath taking sequences. The graphics in the movie was done by hollywood technicians and that along with Shankar direction gives you a hollywood experience. A.R.Rahman's flop music continues in this film too.


Why you should watch this movie?

• Excellent performance by Rajini as Chitti robo.
• Breath taking visuals and sound effects. (Dont forget to see this movie in a good theatre with excellent sound system)
• Good song locations (Kadhal anukkal & Kilimanjaro)
• Shankar's technical perfection

What you will not like in this movie?

• Not so convincing turning point of the movie (Why Chitti robo turns villain?)
• The usual tamil movie masala like exploding cars (in fact since it is a hitech movie, even helicopters are bombed)
• Aiswarya is getting too old
• No comedy unlike other Rajini movies

A must watch movie for all Tamil cinema lovers and Rajini fans.

Review of Shikkar & Elsamma enna aankutty

Shikkar

After the pathetic "Oru Naal Varum", Shikkar was the much awaited movie from Mohanlal. The film is directed by M.Padmakumar known for classy films. Vaasthavam and Parunthu were some of the movies directed by him.

The film is a good bet and worth watching. It has a suspense through out the film. Some times you can guess the suspense, but the turning point in the movie is good. The film has excellent camera work with beautiful locations. Mohanlal, as usual, has done his role well. Only drawback of the movie is the presence of Suraj Venjaramoodu. He might have been unavoidable in cinemas now, but his character in this movie is doing nothing. Better not to cast people who does not have any link with the story.

Rating - 4/5

Elsamma enna aankutty

Yet another Ramzan release movie with a catching title. As the name implies, it is the story of Elsamma who struggles to run her family at the same time raises voice against all the issues in the village. You can not expect any Laljose magic in this movie, but it is simple and realistic. I think this is the first Laljose movie with out Vidyasagar music in the recent times.

Jagathy have done well in the movie as the president of the panchayath. The new face Anne Agustine has performed average but i think for a new face, it is more than enough. But definitely she is far better than Archana Kavi introduced by Lal Jose in Neelathamara. There are lot more actors in the movie Kunchakko boban, Indrajith, Nedumudi Venu, KPAC Lalitha, Vijayaraghavan, etc. This film too have some beautiful locations which has come well in the movie.

Rating - 3.5/5

Ban Politics in Campus

Yet another campus politics criminals strikes in CMS college, Kottayam. Very pathetic!!! Have you seen the visuals from news channels. SFI activities are innocents!!! They will not attack or involve in violence. Still the politicians and protectors asserts this. Do we need such kind of people in our state??? It is time to think and act.

It is a pretty old debate that politics need to be banned in Campus. But is there any action taking place? I have strong belief that politics should be banned in Campus. Why the students coming for their dreams spoil their life in politics? Political parties exists in the campus not for the college, not for the students and not for the management. But for their own interest. Whatever or whomever create issues in the campus will be protected by these political parties. So it is clear that only political parties takes advantage from campus politics.

Still the SFI activities are firm on their demand and they are not admitting that they have done the mistake. By the way what our police was doing? They became the moot spectator for this rampage. If they could have fired their guns, some family might have lost some people, but the state might have gained. So which one you will opt? Family or State??? Think people....think.

Mummy & Me Review

We happened to watch Mummy & Me film directed by Jeethu Joseph recently. Archana Kavi and Kunchako boban plays the lead role while Mukesh, Urvashi, Lalu Alex plays the supporting role with a guest role for Suresh Gopi. Sejo John have scored the music for the film.

The film revolves around a teenager Jewel (Archana Kavi) who believes that she is alone amidst the loving parents. She sees her mummy (Urvashi) as the toughest enemy and fights daily with her. Because of some unexpected developments in her College, her parents gifts her a computer. She is a lover of chatting and soon she finds a friend Ameer (Suresh Gopi) through public chatting. He makes her comfortable, understand about the relationships and brings back to normal happy life with her parents. This relation turns to a love and creates problems in her house as well as Rahul (Kunchakko Boban) heart. Now how the problems are getting solved is the climax.

The film did not work out as expected but it can be watched once with patience. The main attraction of the movie is the performance of Urvashi which sometime you may feel over acting. But to be frank, overall she has done well. Archan kavi is not up to the mark and she can not be a promising star for sure. There were some songs which should have been avoided. Sometime you may feel like you are watching a documentary film but it is the way the film is treated and don't blame the director for it.

Summary: Watch the movie with out any hype and expectations

Common Interview Puzzle 1

This is a common puzzle which is asked in interviews. This is simple, but tricky.
Let us try this.

You have two variables say a & b. Let a = 3 and b = 5. Swap the values of a & b without using a third variable. Interesting?? Let us try the answer,

Step 1: a = a + b   //Now a = 8 & b = 5
Step 2: b = a - b   //Now a = 8 & b = 3
Step 3: a = a - b   //Now a = 5 & b = 3

Simple?? Is'nt it?
