Hello bloggy . I feel alot lazier these days . I am yet to blog about my amazing birthday celebration and all . Well , hang in there . I'll be posting about it soon . Real soon :) .


And finally , I managed to watch Vettaikaran . I've got certain points to talk about .. so please hang in there :P





Firstly , I am extremely disappointed with the storyline . But contrary to my disappointment , the film's declared to be a mega hit . I really don't know what to say .. but I'm very disappointed with my favourite actor's choice of movies and etc .


Positive points


Well lets look at the positive side of Vettaikaran . I really think all the songs in this movie are super good . My personal favourite is 'Karigalan' . I love the lyrics and both Krish's and Suchitra's voices in 'Oru Chinna Thamarai' song . And I personally think the beats in 'Puli Urumudthu' is amazing . It's such a dance-able song ! Woohooo :P . I am sooooo surprised with Vijay Anthony's composition . I only know that he is well versed at giving catchy compositions but in this movie , he proved to really versatile - showing a diversification of his ranges of compositions ( remember , it's not just the diversification of compositions here , but it's the diversification of the ranges of the compositions ) . Kudos dude ! .


Its pretty obvious that Vijay really sweat is all-out for this movie . You can literally see his hardwork in this movie . He must really be damn upset with the turn out of Villu but I'm glad that he managed to comeback stronger .


I like one of the idea that they brought into the movie - to self-finance your own education . Well , I appreciate such a mature thought . Vijay kind of mentioned that it's not wrong to work and study at the same time . Cool ! I am also glad that he decided to take after his idol and follow his footsteps . I mean having a positive idol propels one to success . Good one there !


Vijay and Anushka's dance movements are really good . She can really complement him well . Vijay once again proved that he's an amazing dancer . Woohoo !!


Bad points


I am freaking disappointed with the movie ! Really really disappointed .


1) I feel that this movie was loosely based on 'Sathyam' - for idolising a Police officer and wanting to follow his footsteps and the same police officer going MIA when something bad crops up , 'Thirupachi' - for the whole of "come-to-Chennai-and-you-will-be-shocked-with-its-atrocities" concept , and ' Bagavathi' - for choosing to go the wrong way and by changing himself for this decision and staying away from the gf . I am really sick of watching movies that ALWAYS have the same concept playing on the repeat mode !


2) Anushka's a very good actoress . I really respected her for her role in Arundhati . It's not easy to portray the character of 'Jakkamma' . But she did it and the best thing is , she is such a bubbly girl who loves to play around at the film sets and yet she could tone her state down and portray such a serious and strong role ! Hats off to her ! . And the saddest part is , they didn't make use of her talent in this movie . In all Vijay movies , he gets the limelight . The heroines are generally those girls who fell in love with him , dance with him for some songs and then disappear for the rest of the movies or at times , try to persuade him to drop all the violence and then they will disappear and then they will come back in the final scene to bid farewell to the audience alongside the Vijay . Seriously !! What the hell is this . Can we see a different storyline ? Like you know , a strong hero and heroine role in a Vijay film ? Something like "Thulladha Manamum Thullum" story ? Like where both Vijay and Simran had the chance to show off their talent and at the end of the movie , you will be left wondering as to who outrun the other ! Stop using the heroines just for the sake of glamour ! Ridiculous girls like Namitha should be used to portray such glamour roles - not the strong actoresses . It's such a pity when your talent doesn't get portrayed !


3) Vijay looks the same in all his movies - ever since Ghilli . I mean , in order to do certain roles , you need to change your looks and this is the toughest part in acting . For instance , Surya acted as an handicap , psycho , someone with a memory loss , as a teenager and etc etc ( the list goes on ) . You know , when you do such roles with a different get-up , it brings about a refreshing change in the actor . Change is the only constant thing in today's world ! Agree ? . Then why isn't change being brought into tamil films ? . Like I've mentioned , its not easy to change your get-up and act and besides that , you have to evolve into that character and be like that character till your entire shooting completes . It's definitely not an easy task to evolve into another character and live as that character for months till the shooting ends . For example , "do you think Kamalhassan put the make-up required to be a Japanese dude in "Dasaavataaram" within a few hours , spoke in Japanese and played the character within an instant and got it over and done with ? Obviously NOT !! Nothing can be achieved overnight ! It's a gradual hardwork - requiring research , portrayal , trying to act out bits of it infront of a mirror , getting praises and criticism .

Now ask this question : Have we ever seen our Vijay as a blind man ? , handicap ? , retarded ? , as an italian dude ? . All we know off is , people celebrating his heroism in the film , he beating up the hooligans , his anger and etc etc . I am really tired of this ! I don't want my favourite actor to be seen as someone who is known for heroism only ! We people remember Kamal for his acting and Rajini for his style . Ultimately , it's acting prowess that makes us wanna watch a film not style or heroism . I mean if the latter was the deciding factor then why was "Baba" , "Villu" , "ATM" declared a failure ? . Vijay really wants to show his best and it's such a pity when they use his hardwork to promote his own heroism . I really wish Vijay can shred that heroism and act ! .


4) Vijay's ambition was to become a Police officer in this film and at the end of the film , he becomes a thug - someone who uses violence to correct/amend the atrocities in the country . You know , this is also known as terrorism . You instigate terror in people . Veerappan was known to do "good" for people , Tamil Tigers were known to do "good" for people and yet they were labelled as Terrorist because they used violence . I mean , why did they break his ambition in this film ? . Then think about how his parents would feel and etc ? . He didn't have the need to study if he were to become a thug ! . Alternatively , they should have brought a better idea into the movie . If a goon can join politics and become a minister overnight , then what about the educated Vijay ? . You can STILL do good without the need to resort to violence . This idea was brought into 2 good movies - 'Muthalvan' and "Aayutha Ezhuthu" ( yes there were some violence but was it the crux of the whole story ? ) . I really think , such Vijay movies are giving alot of people the wrong idea . More and more youths will stop thinking and continue to use violence to achieve their needs instead of using their red-hot determination to do good for the whole country by joining politics and etc . Well maybe , no wonder why we have all the oldies taking charge of the political arena of India . Haiz


5) And I'm really tired of watching "omg , Madras/Chennai is such a bad place that is filled with rowdies/thugs/hooligans and yada yada " . It really brings a shame to the place itself . I mean we all have been to Chennai before and do we like see all this things happening there ? I mean of course they do exist but c'mon , why keep brooding about the whole idea over and over again ? . And even the police are not capable to correct the wrongdoings and we need our hero to SINGLE-HANDEDLY correct the wrongdoings ? Are they looking down on their police then ? Or are they trying to show corruption very subtle-ly ? . I really don't know . But I'm personally tired !! .


6) I think the ONLY reason why the movie was such a hit is because of the good songs , good beats and the existence of media - Sun Pictures . In case you people don't know anything about Sun Pictures , let me give a brief . It's own by Kalanithi Maran . They were just production company that used to promote channels and they managed to break into the film industry . For example , Sun Pictures buys the distribution rights of a film ( usually go for films that have famous heros/heroines to boost the revenue that would come in ) and Sun Pictures then would use its extensive publicity tools to advertise the films . They kind of use "persuasive" advertising than using "informative" advertising . And we ALL know the majestic power of advertising . So yes . And the most interesting thing is , all the movies that were advertised under this banner had been hit films . And guys , Kalanithi Maran was even named as " Television King of Southern India by Forbes !! and Sun TV itself was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange . Hmm and yes , he used to be India's 20th richest person ... I think this is certainly a very good business . As long as people keep producing such movies and promote heroism , you get to earn money !! . Sounds good ?? .

Hello bloggy !


Actually , I'm loving my life alot now . Apart from the stress that I attain from looking high and low for a job , life's good . Since I'm banned from exercising due to the blood blister on my toenail , I've been spending my free time with much quality . For a good start , I'm back with one of my most favourite hobbies - reading ! . I should thank Mr Kabi-o for it of course . Well , please wait before you guys jump into any conclusions . Kabi-o hates reading . Haha . Well he brought me for the Sherlock Holmes movie and that propelled me to touch my books again .


I've always been a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan . I love reading stories about him and he instigated my love to become a detective when I grow up . Trust me peeps , I would always make my own deductions , analysis and all whenever I read good books . You guys should check out my "Angels and Demons " , "Da Vinci Code" , "Tuesdays with Morrie" and etc - they'll be extremely dirty and messy with post-its , highlights and loads of foolscap papers stuck in between the pages . Anyways , let me continue my rant before I go off the tangent . I didn't really enjoy Sherlock Holmes movie . They changed Holmes' character . He's nothing like how they portrayed him in the movie and obviously , being an ardent lover of Holmes' , I got frustrated . But the only 2 consolations were - 1) Jude Law was acting and 2) HANS ZIMMER's composition !! . Oh my crazy hell !!! He's excellent ! He's soooooooooooo good ! I loved each and every composition in that movie ! I'm soo going to purchase the movie's soundtrack ! It's simply freaking good ! . Perhaps , I should add - I'm a huge fan of Hans Zimmer ! .


And I've been watching a plethora of different films and obviously , all are hindi flicks . No offence , but in case my readers didn't know , I have special preference for hindi films . They're my priority , followed by English films , Tamil , Thai , Japanese/Korean and Local films . And I was watching Dil Bole Hadippa and the dvd had to be spoilt . Grrrr . I was furious . I asked the aunty for a brand new dvd ( for rental ) and she told me she only had 1 of that . So she asked me to exchange it for another film . I decided to watch "Fashion" . It was a movie by Madur Bhandarkar . He's so well known for coming up with excellent concepts , realistic films and etc . He also has a penchant for putting up female artiste as the main protagonist in his films ! It's such a refreshing unique exploration that he has made in his films . And of course , he's a National Award winner ! .


Fashion - Part 1 . Click on this and watch the entire flick :)





Well , fashion explores a very interesting concept known as "casting couch" . Well it technically means that you sell your body to gain entry into the job of your choice - most of the time - the cinema , music , modelling industries . The main protagonist - Meghna Mathur ( played by Priyanka Chopra ) aspires to become a supermodel and she leaves her hometown to become a supermodel . She has a gay bestfriend who's an assistant to a top designer . She went to Mumbai to become a model based on his advice . Her journey to become a model was fraught with obstacles . Eventually she'll become an ordinary model and that's when she realises that in order to be a supermodel , she need to be the showstopper for the fashion show and during her stint as an ordinary model , Shonali Gujral was the showstopper and she was a pretty arrogant woman who smoked , got herself drunk and abused drugs . Soon after , Meghna becomes the new face of a major modelling agency and she becomes a supermodel . She was becoming more and more famous each day . Her newfound fame gave her an air of complacency and arrogance and her rise to fame also affected her relationship and she broke up with her boyfriend and continued modelling . Shonali Gujral was kicked out of being the supermodel and Meghna replaced her . Shonali became an heavy drunkard and was heavily addicted to drugs . Shonali was on a downward spiral towards her own demolition . Meghna also started an affair with her boss and was growing arrogant . Soon she became pregnant and was kicked out my the modelling agency and her boss asked her to go for an abortion because according to the contract that she signed , she is not allowed to be pregnant . Well , apparently , the unwritten rule is - her boss is allowed to sleep with her and yet , she cannot threaten him with it nor become pregnant . She was depressed and she lost her status as a supermodel due to her arrogance and complacency . She was heavily addicted to alcohol and abused drugs and was literally destroying herself and her image . Then one fine day , she had too much of drugs and she clubbed her night away at a club and ended up being on bed with a black man . She was knocked off her senses due to her intoxication and it happened . Soon she lost all her desire to be a model and her self confidence reached its nadir and she flew back to her hometown . She was in exile for 1 year and her dad 0 who was against modelling , motivated her to go back to modelling and encouraged and gave her confidence to do well .


She went back to being a supermodel and it was a herculean task for her and most of them who were acquainted with her arrogance gave her the boot and she was struggling to make it big . She managed to become an ordinary model and during her walk down the ramp , she froze on stage because of her own fear of the past . And soon after , she gets to know that Shonali Gujral is now a depressed alcoholic and drug addict and has become a destitute . She decided to revamp Shonali's life and brought her home . Soon after , Meghna gets an opportunity to become the showstopper for a fashion show and Shonali was Meghna's pillar of support . Then one day , Shonali goes missing and it was Meghna's big day . Before she took the ramp , she gets to know Shonali was found dead on the streets due to drug overdose . This terribly affected Meghna and she couldn't walk the ramp . Her phobia of her past kicked in and she froze on stage . Somehow , she plucked up the courage and made that walk down the ramp . She dedicated her comeback to Shonali's support and she gets selected to be a model in Paris .


I like this story because , Madhur managed to highlight the dark side of fashion so aptly . When you watch the movie , you will understand why most of the famous artiste in the world are addicted to drinks , cigarettes and drugs . And the practice of casting couch still exist ! . It's such a pity because artiste are not as innocent , good and etc as how their characters portray them as . And it's very depressing to know that your idol may turn out to be a consensual victim of casting couch . I like the hard-smacking reality that Madhur introduced in this film . And now , I'm all equipped to watch his next film - "Jail" which will highlight the jail conditions in India .


The 2nd movie that I watched was "Wake up Sid"





I think this is a cute and romantic hindi flick . It shows how an immatured , carefree college student comes of age . I was really smiling from ear to ear when I was watching this flick . I like this movie man . It is has alot of happy stuff inside . Haha :P . Please do watch it too peeps .

CAREBEAR


Anyways , I am sad now . Well , incase my readers don't know this , I am super super attracted to the LOVE ALOT CAREBEAR ! . It's red in colour and it's super super cute . Actually I was sooo into the bed time carebear - the blue one but I think the LOVE ALOT CAREBEAR IS FREAKING CUTEEEEEEE . I already have Amigo carebear ( orange ) and bedtime carebear . Now I am yearning to have the LOVE ALOT CAREBEAR - I want the HUGE ONE ! . While Kabi and I was out , I saw a very HUGE love alot carebear and I was soo excited and I told him " OMG KABI !
