Azhagu Raja (Tamil) a Fun movie

Based on the internet reviews I was worried to take the family for Azhagu Raja (Tamil) which turned out to be a Fun movie...






http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/All_in_All_Azhagu_Raja_poster.jpg
The making is good, nice comedy ( crispness missing ) and the shooting locales are beautiful.

A movie should be looked at by the entertainment value it gives, but not what a person wants based on the past, present and future trends. A Directors vision is to dish out goods.... catering to mass. Not everyone is supposed to like, isnt it?

Today the viral marketing phenomenon is catching up fast. Word of mouth marketing catches fire faster. everyone goes around harping nowadays, hyperist world. If someone doesnt like they could have walked out no? Just bcoz someone didnt like a movie, we shouldnt take their word for granted. Hated Arambam! But had to sit in the theatre on Oct 31st being the FDFS. Just bcoz the making is good ( hollywood style copy ) and people like Ajithkumar walks and glamour of heroines! well timepass!

It seems the edited version makes first half reduced by 20 minutes. Dont know what has been cut. :-)

Family enjoyed watching the comedy effort of Santhanam.  :-)  Radhika Apte that old 80s Meenakshi was very homely and wonderful. Might come for a round in Tamil filmdom like Lakshmi Menon.

To get a true value of a movie, better not to look at twitter or facebook for review of a movie. The more people talk theatre fills! My show was housefull! Theatre manager said all shows are running like that.

Saranya Ponvannans talent is wasted. So is Nasser.

Not sure whether they edited a fight out. would have been nice for Karthi film with his style action scenes.

In the end when Karthi imitates his dad with a coconut in hand - I bet the relative folks would have erupted

In Tiruppur all shows have been Housefull itseems - 5 shows everyday in 7 theatres. Might be hit in Telugu Land. Saniyan Sakadai Kota Srinivas Rao is there....

2nd half is more fun with M S Bhaskar and the 80s scenes..

Excellent Novel for Corporate World

Jack in back in Corporate Carnival.

Nice and well written novel by P G Bhaskar with Jack, the main protagonist who live in Dubai, and his trails in Africa along with his friend and the hysterical comedy that happens only in the banking world!

Lovely book and worth the read.

Emotional Fool - A review

Emotional Fool is a book written by Selva Ganapathy, who works with voluntary organization AID - INDIA that works with downtrodden. This blook ( blog + book )  was self published under notionpress.com. The format of the book has come out very well, with very little or no errors! The narration style is very nice in terms of a friend talking to us. Not gibberish.

Emotional Fool

He has written like a biopic that portrays his friendly love for a girl Priya who comes to work with him in the voluntary organization.

He is emotional in friendship, which blossoms through SMS and chat is written in the form of a blook. A blog converted as blook.

Initial stages he touches upon his own life, how he struggled after issues with his dad and his own success step by step.

Priya seems to be friendly, but beyond a point she doesnt understand the poignancy in the friendship that is shown. There is a breakup. But the hero of this blook is adamant and wants to prove his unconditional love for her.

Good Luck Selva!

Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me

This is a book review of the book "Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me"

The book has a fast start. Wonderful.
This captures the vivid imagination of the author.

This is more of a human journey, that takes on life as it comes along.

Wonderful nature of the book - vivid description in simple language. 

There is lot of humor in this book. It begins by saying, it a sort of Memoirs...


Lovely read.

No He Can't

This is supposed to be a Book review of No He Can't, which I have not received from Book Sneeze.

I hope they would have shipped it to my address. But have not recieved it yet.

No idea, when they have sent it. Nor there is a way to track the shipping.

I hope they can send the e-book to review it fast.

What to do? I cannot review any other books till they send it.

Hence this post.

I would post some review links. May be that would help?

டப்பா ! (குசேலன் விமர்சனம்.)

டப்பா ! (குசேலன் விமர்சனம்.)

பி சென்டர் படம் ! கடைசி ௨0 நிமிடம்கள் சூப்பர்! 'ஆறிலிருந்து அறுபது வரை' ரஜினி தெரிகிறார். அழ வைக்கிறார். பசுபதி தான் ஹீரோ.மீனா வெரி ஸுபெர்ப்.

நண்பன் என்று ஒரு படம் கமல், ராஜீவ் நடித்தது, இதே கதை தான்.

'கதா பறயும்போல்' நன்றாக இருந்தது...

குழந்தைகள் தூங்கி விட்டனர், பாதி படத்தில்.

நயந்தாரா வடிவேலு கட்சிகள் முகம் சுளிக்க வைக்கின்றன.

Is Rajini a Tamilian?

See this blog update from Idly Vadai
