Life Of Pi Movie Review !!

"It takes you on a journey, and unless you have read the book, which I had not, you have no idea where that journey is going. It does what good 3D is supposed to do, which is, it allows you to forget you are watching a 3D movie" - James Cameron, AVATAR's Director !!  

"Just Watched Life of Pi at Fox Studios... It's a masterpiece !! So much Tamil in it !!
Don't Miss It" - A. R. Rahman  :)

These were the two quotes which increased my interest to watch 'Life of Pi' apart from the fact that it has been directed by Ang Lee !! 

Felt proud when our Tamil language has taken its next leap on the World Class Celluloid. The movie is a technical wonder and you gotta see it to live Pi's survival days on the Pacific !! 

Suraj, Tabu, Irrfan and most importantly the computer generated Richard Parker will be the often repeated names in Hollywood for some time :) 

The 2nd story which Pi tells at the end, where the audience in theatre felt unrest, is actually what the entire twist is all about similar to how 'Sixth Sense' movie made us feel !! No spoilers meant here but just a caution to watch the end closely :)

 The film is a visual feast to our eyes. Also it has raised too many questions about God's mysterious ways though has answered only a few !! 

Thuppaki Movie Review

Finally... Finally, a smart, original and most importantly an Intelligent film from Vijay, thanks to A.R.Murugadoss.. Vijay could have chosen movies of this sort long b4 itself anyways it has happened now than never.. No Punch dialogues, no colourful costumes and no Sky Diving stunts yet Vijay has mesmerised us with his performance !! :-)

A Nail biting thriller and a tribute to Indian Army !!  (This Diwali has suddenly made me even more patriotic having seen 2 Army movies in the 2 consecutive days) !

Hindi Remake is already on talks with Akshay Kumar !!

7aam Arivu nu oru padam naduvula kudukaama irundhurundhaa nambi mudhal naalae paathurupen.. :-)
Ghajini maadhiri Hindi la innoru valam vara Murugadoss ku sema chance :)
Idhae maadhiri yosichu padam pannunga Doss bossu !! :)

Jab Tak Hai Jaan Movie Review

The Gateway for your Last trip to Yashji's Fantasy World of Romance where LOVE Rules and everything else lives happily ever, is gonna close soon because along with Yashji, that World itself is gonna vanish sooner!!!

I expected a long boring lecture on Love, well that is how we feel in this 'Vicky Donor' age when we see a Director from Last Generation gives a movie!! But with his son to his aid, the story moves so fast with witty dialogues, you are spell bound to watch it, thanks equally to Rahman's Magical numbers!!

The plot is loosely based on Tamil Movie Vaaranam Aayiram (Guess His son Aditya Chopra would have got inspired from this but the comparison just ends there thankfully!)

All scenes may give u both a Dejavu as well as a fresh story treatment feel to you. It has got some cliches of Yashji but thats what we like about him !!

You will love the movie if and ONLY IF you are an ardent fan of atleast one among the following : Yash Chopra or A.R.Rahman or SRK or Katrina Kaif or Anushka Sharma !!

Well surely am a big fan of the 1st two icons and Katrina has joined my list with her moves and acting(!!!) !!

'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' Title song which was supposed to be shot at Switzerland but couldn't be because of Yashji's untimely demise has been added at the end credits with his 'Behind the Screen' activities and it ends with him uttering 'Action' !! :( :(

Skyfall Review !!

After the Skyfall which happened yesterday in Chennai (in the form of Neelam storm), hoped to experience something similar today as well at 007's Skyfall !! :) The main reason why the movie came into my watchlist is because of Adele's Haunting Title Song !! If only I had listened to it a few days later !!

Yes, it started great with 007 doing Daredevilry stunts and roaming all around the world to places like Turkey, London, Shanghai, Scotland but if you get mighty pleased after watching the 1st half of SKYFALL and feel that you're watching the best Bond movie ever, kindly wait for the 2nd half to begin.

Trying to compete with the 'Joker's escape from custody' scene in 'The Dark Knight', what they've delivered is nowhere closer to it.

As the plot moves on, 007 turns Old-fashioned for a reason and after that what you see are bits and pieces of  Vintage style 'Home Alone' and slow & spooky 'Harry Potter' (May be 'The Guy who played with Harry' --> Ralph Fiennes' appearance now and then on screen added more effect on this) !!

Heard the loudest cheers and whistles in the 1st half but once the movie ended very few even clapped and it was funny to see people's awkward face expressions which conveyed, 'I think I dont like the movie, do you?'

The Sky has indeed Fallen upon our Heads and it is Paining !! :(


P.S.  --> For me 'Casino Royale' is still the best Bond movie among Daniel Craig's !!
