Sivakasi

Yet another Vijay film. But there is one thing surprising about him. He manages to create an interest in his films even though there is nothing much that changes between films except the heroines. Asin replaces Trisha for the ‘Kuthu’ dances and comedy. She has done very well., especially in the latter. There is quite some ‘Mother & Sister’ Sentiments, more so in the second half of the film. But the film has many positives. For one thing there is a lot of comedy and it is like a happy-go-watch film. But you will have to bear with some sentimental …

While the people were busy celebrating this year’s diwali, the Indian cricket team was busy celebrating another diwali – the death of the complacent and lazy attitude.

Kundakka Mandakka

The last few posts have been only film reviews – and understandably so, for this is Diwali season. Kundakka Mankakka is a film that aims to entertain people the most. We all know that Parthiban and Vadivelu are such a grand combination when it comes to comedy and what they have been doing in bits and pieces in other films, they have managed to do it for the entire movie here. And to maintain the film running for 2.5 hrs they needed some story line. So they added a sister to Parthiban and her marriage to a Crorepathi as Parthiban’s …

Another Fazil film. The good thing about the film is that it is very decent. You can sit with you family and enjoy an evening show of this film. The bad thing is that it is quite slow like other Fazil films, but fortunately Srikanth and Sonia Agarwal have done well. The film starts with the usual theme of a good active hero and a playful heroine. The heroine challenges the hero at one stage that she will make him love her.

It was one of the most anticipated movie by experts of the film industry and it did not fail to impress. The movie is a must see and you will not regret having seen it.

The first half goes with the same tempo and you are now hoping and even praying that the second half does not slow down. It doesn’t but at the middle of the second half the film slows down, rather it becomes …

Got a Digicam

Finally, I got a digicam. I will not be able to forget the date and manner in which I got it. I have been wishing to lay my hands on one for 2 years now. It started with some some information I got for Canon Powershot S1 while I was browsing. Then I landed on dcresource.com and dpreview.com both excellent sites for camera review. I read a lot about the S1 and I was willing to buy it. But it was selling for 25k (if got in US) and a staggering 40k here. I was not prepared for it mentally …
