Ayan-Review

As I said in my earlier post,am now back with a cinema related post...Its about the recent release Ayan.The movie has Surya and Tamanna in the lead roles and thalaivar Prabhu(:P) dons an important role.The movie was hyped very much by many World Cinema Fans(So called class movie lovers).All I can say the movie is not worth the hype.Its genre is PURE MASALA.But this movie cannot be called as completely bad,as there are some real entertaining scenes.

Surya-is the positive for this movie.His physique and face suits the character perfectly.His voice modulation,expression,body language etc., are good.The smuggling scenes are the real highlight of the movie.Especially the one which takes place in Africa.One person who normally changes serious situations in most of the movies as comical ones with his serious(but for us funny :P)one liners like ENNA KODUMA SARAVANAN ITHU and all,is none other our Prabhu.But surprisingly in this movie,he has really done well.Especially the scene where he lifts the villain by holding his neck,was good.

One thing I hate to the core in this movie is the characterisation of Chitibabu,which was played by Jagan(Vijay TV nandu-sindu fame).His characterisation SUCKS.He is given the role of heroine's brother,but actually he behaves like her broker.There were movies which had scenes like heroine's brother helping for her love,but this is absoultely pathetic(thu..). But some of his one liners makes us laugh at times.

Another interesting aspect of the movie is Surya-Ponvannan scenes.The way they handle the villain was somewhat good.But what serves as a setback here is the choice of villain. He looks like a clown.The person who dubbed for him should have taken more care.Anyway the villain character too is not worthy,as he always loses out to the hero easily.

There is really nothing like twist or turn in the movie.The director might have thought that Jagan character might give a surprise to the audience,but it doesnt.The love scenes between Surya-Tamanna,not so interesting.Karunas has been wasted.The climax scene where he goes to Africa, just like we go to some near by town,is a big yawn.

And in Harris Jeyaraj music 2 songs are good,"vizhi moodi" and "nenje-nenje" and with visuals the peppy number by hariharan,"Pala palakkara.." is also enjoyable.Surprisingly this time the BGM of this movie is nice.Camera by M.S.Prabhu is not bad.Stunt scenes are simply rocking.Kanal Kannan made an excellent job.On the whole K.V.Anand could have gone for a better script.Before going to movie many said its like Dhool,Dhil etc..This movie is not even half of the other 2.The movie may become a commercially successful venture,but still the quality is not good.

If you are an ardent fan of masala movies and you dont want any logic,and if u have no other work and want to spend sometime in theater means,go for this movie,else better avoid it.

Verdict: Average

Rating : 2.5/5

Coorg-A HOT Experience

So friends,once again am back(may be not with a bang).Well I think most of my friends know that I went on a tour last month.In that tour I had some great experiences and I would like to narrate it here.Actually we planned to take a break and have some relaxation.Some one said there is a spot called COORG,its a hill station so we can have a cool stay there.One gentleman went a step further and added that in google it is given as SCOTLAND OF INDIA-meaning,such a cool place.So expectations were bit too much.But after going over there we felt coorg as HOTLAND of India and some guys felt even Chennai is better :( .Now you may understand the meaning of the topic.But apart from climate,there were also other aspects which(or who :P) were hot. Thats alright,now let me start about the tour experience.

For pic,click this link: http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb300/harishsep1987/add.jpg

Its on march18th,we left chennai and we were 13 in number,including Nikhil Baffna-Joseph((the organisers),myself,Dude,Gokul,Bhai(Navith),Manas,Nimesh,Gautam Subuthi,Keshava,Karthik Munaga,GK and DK.I have to mention this in this post for sure. Our guys are photo fanatics.Dude,DK and Bhai occupy the first 3 ranks in the fanatic rating,followed by GK master,myself,Gokul.As we are all fanatics,we started our photo session from central station itself.We ended our photo session in the central station itself(dont get confused,we started in central and continued in coorg,mysore etc and again while coming back we ended it in central).So starting from here we were taking photos.

We were playing cards for some time in train and then police warned us to sleep(our relation with police didnt end with Railway police :P).So we slept and the next day morning we reached mysore.Had the breakfast and started our travel in a 13 seater van. As soon as the van started,this Gautham Subuthi,started sleeping(as usual :P).Then we asked him to wake up and said this is not SRM college,so dont sleep atleast here.

From there the first spot we visited was a Buddhist monastry.Actually I didnt go inside the monastry,as we have not taken bath.I started taking snaps there too :D.One strange thing I noticed there was that,everyone are looking similar in that area.Once we(me and gokul) felt as if we were in some chinese town.God,we really have to appreciate them for differentiating among themselves,every one has the same hair style,dressing style etc.

To see the monastery,click here :

Then we went for elephant safari,boating etc.We visited a water falls too. Here comes our man of photos,dude,he started taking pics there.For a moment I think he wanted to become a mass hero,thinking that way he caught some kids there to take a snap with them.Their guardian scolded dude for taking pics with the kids and said he wont allow kids and all to take pics with him in particualar(Asingapattaan :D :D).

Finally we went to the room.Actually it was not a room,it was a house.Our organisers(Nikhil and Joseph) have booked a nice house :),but because of this house we got into some minor controversy,which I will explain later :D.We took bath and were watching some cricket match for sometime.Then we went to temple and got the blessings of Lord Ganesha(as we are all cultured,traditional good people na :) ).Fine,then we had the dinner.

Dinner over and most of them were thirsty and wanted to drink,not water,but quarter. Some drank and some preferred to watch(u cant have a better entertainment than watching some one making some comedies while he/she is drinking :D). The party started.Our organiser was busy in phone with some one special.Other organiser was watching NDTV to get info about stock market(unga kadama unarchikku oru alave illaya da).

Ok,let us start the party.Now I dont want to mention the names,if I do so people will kill me tomorrow :D.One fellow was drinking vodka peg by peg.I warned him not to take too much while another fellow teased him saying that he cant drink more than a peg.This domar,took this as a challenge and started drinking more(ithula mattum nalla challenge eduthukkonga da ) and he lost his control and started making comedies like Vadivelu :D. I have a video of that and in that video all KUDI-MAGANS are there.Another fellow, mixed 90% coke with 10% vodka.He became flat for that itself :D.One fellow decently slept anticipating the consequences.And only one man was full steady even after 5 rounds and hats off to him :D.

Then comes the important event of our tour,yeah its the trecking.Normally you cant see me more in photos with dude.Why u know?If u go with him some where,u cant see any place fully and u can see only the entrance,because he will keep on taking photos until the van starts.How he manages others to take a snap you know?He uses an excellent technique.He will ask u to stand and will take a pic in digicam and will say exactly this phrase: "Machi awesome pose da,tharumaru da,u look dashing in this".He will take only one snap and tell that phrase.Then automatically the other person will take him atleast some 25 snaps.Very clever fellow,infact he is INTELLIGENT TO THE INTELLIGENTS.

In trecking we had an awesome experience.Almost everyone were tired except one great man.Yeah you are right,he is none other than our Keshava.R.K.A.Verma.We didnt leave him,had we left him,he would have walked from Mysore to Chennai all the way.Dont know whether he is a super-man or spider-man or even a Pokkiri man :P .See the following pic,you can see who that man is :

After this we went to temples again.Finally tonight again we had dinner.After dinner some of us decided to go for a walk.Manas,Gokul,Joseph,Kesava were walking with me.At that time one voice called us.We went near the jeep.Its obviously the policemen.They enquired about our identity.Then only the person in the opposite house said that only he called the police as he had some disturbance because of her the previous night.Then we told the police to contact the person who rented the home to us.

Actually bhai(Navith) knows more details regarding this issue :D.If u want to know more u can contact him personally.

Then we went to Mysore.There we visited zoo.And u can see the picture of my best friend in the below link:

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb300/harishsep1987/gorilla.jpg

Then we had lunch in the same hotel where we had during our 3rd year IV.After lunch we went to the Mysore palace.The architecture of the palace was absolutely mind blowing.It was built before 150-200 years.I bet you with all the technological advancements,even today,no one can build such buildings.The engineer who built the palace was Mr.Vishveswarayya. What a man he is :) .We were very eager to take snaps inside the palace,but the authorities didnt allow us to take pics inside the palace.Anyway we took some pics outside the palace,like the one in the below link:

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb300/harishsep1987/Palace.jpg

Now thats all about Mysore.Finally we went for some shopping and came to station,I mean railway station :P.Again we started our photo work there too.Finally we started playing cards again in the train.This time the game went bit wild,all because of me :D.Dude started cheating and played wrongly.His game was against rules,as I am a honest person,I could not tolerate and threw the cards.Then dude played within rules.(Naa romba strictu ma :P).After the cards episode came the TTR's.Actually we had some probs in seat number allocation and tickets.But we made some settlement with TTR and finalised things and had a peaceful journey.

After coming to chennai,our Iron man Kesava walked to hostel from railway station-there ends the coorg episode.Though Coorg was hot,we had a cool experience.

And my next post will be something regarding current affairs only.It may be related to cinema or anything else.Patiently go through this post and feel free to bash me if this is such a horrible mokkai :)

Yaavarum Nalam-Review

Hello friends..Now am back with my next post.For my last article I got a reasonably good response..Its time for some real entertainment..So now am gonna give a short review about the recently released Yavarum Nalam-a Madhavan starrer.These days am having a kind of tight schedule and I rarely watch movies.Today accidentally I went for this movie.Actually I thought of giving a miss for this movie.Now I feel for that,coz had I missed it in theater,I might have been cursing myself.

Well,now coming to the review...As most of you know,Yaavarum Nalam is a bilingual movie(in hindi,its the movie 13B).At first I too thought this is gonna be another build up movie.To my surprise the movie was really thrilling.The movie starts of with Maddy and his family moving to a new house in an apartment,the door no. of which is 13B.Maddy lives with his brother,sister,wife,brother's wife,mother and with the 2 kids of his brother.

Maddy's mother,wife and his brother's wife,all the 3 ladies are die hard fanatics of Mega Serial.Its natural,because mostly ladies(or even gals) means serial lovers only na..:P :P..So these 3 are serial lovers and maddy often mocks these ladies for their fanaticism towards serial.(This maddy too will start loving serials,go through the full review ;) ).

As this is a horror movie,everything that should not happen in a new house,happens here.Starting from the milk-warming-ceremony(I mean PAAL KAAICHARTHU),everything goes wrong.The lift in the appartment will not work for Maddy alone.It works fine for almost everyone else.In his house,nailing the walls(to install photos of the god),is also troublesome.Like this everything encounters some type of problems.But the ladies doesnt care about this and all,they keep on watching serials(what to do,the ladies are like this..hmm).

They start watching a serial called YAAVARUM NALAM in a channel called EYE TV.Maddy's sister is too poor in studies(like me :P) and she has so many arrears.One day everyone leaves for a marriage except Maddy and his sister.His sister goes to college to check her results.One of the residents of the apartments knocks his door as Maddy called him for lunch.They decides to have a beer,but the man's pet(obviously a dog,as its a horror movie),gets frightened and runs away from his house and it will not enter into the house.Maddy gets confused.And at that time accidentally he starts watching that Yaavarum Nalam serial.To his surprise,the incidents in that serial,closely resembles with those in his life(especially those that has happened after they came to this house).The family in that serial too has the some no. of members(the relationship between them too is exactly same as our hero's family).

On that he sees the brother character getting a promotion and an increment of 10K.For his brother too,the same thing happens.The sister character gets a pass in all subjects(including 12 arrears) with a percentage of 69.13(in serial).Maddy's sister too clears off with the same percentage.So he decides to meet the writer and director of the serial.While doing this,he gets a huge shock,as there is no such serial in that channel.Then Maddy realizes that there is something wrong with his new house.

He goes to a sub-inspector,his friend and explains him his problem.As usual he laughs out loudly.Maddy brings him to his house.Interestingly a police character is introduced in that serial too.Then something happens and the SI too understands the seriousness.These 2 guys meets doctor Balu,who is a close friend to Maddy's family and asks their doubts regarding ghosts and athmas, as the doctor has done lot of research about the ghosts and etc..They get some answers.

You have to understand this fact that apart from the hero and his cop friend,none of the family members knows that the serial is the work of ghosts and it resembles their life.

As I said earlier,now Madhavan became a serial fanatic too :P(but only for this serial),to know whats gonna happen next.Suddenly in an episode,the family in the serial is brutally murdered.A person hits everyone using a hammer and kills the whole family.Maddy listens this story from his wife.He asks his wife,did they show the killer's face,for which she replies no.So he realizes that some one is gonna do the same to his family too.He becomes restless.On that day night the tv gets switched on itself and this serial starts.Maddy on hearing the sound wakes up and starts it.The serial displays CLIMAX and the killer's face is shown slowly.Maddy gets excited and gets too curious to watch his face.He gets shocked and left speechless.Why?Because the killer shown in the serial is none other than our MADDY.

So Maddy realizes that he is gonna destroy his family.What next?Did Maddy kill all his family members?Or was he killed by some one else?Why Maddy's face is shown in that serial?Has the evil spirit attacked him?Or is he suffering from multiple personality disorder?
To get answers for all these questions,watch the movie in THEATER.

The movie has a terrific BGM.Kudos to music directors Shankar-Ehson-Lloy and the movie has just 2 songs(which doesnt stop the pace of the movie).Hats off to Vikram.K.Kumar,the director for making a real horror movie.

My Rating-3.5/5

Verdict : Dont Miss It

1000 Roobai Noottu-A Cover Story

Hi hi hi...As I said in my earlier post,here comes my first post about one of the best(?? :P) incident in our life.The people who were involved in this cover story might very well have guessed what this story is all about.Anyway I want to type some thing about that great incident here.
First of all I will give a short description about the lead characters in the story.As IPL is fast approaching I am starting with a cricket post first.We have so many talented cricketers in our class/college.And they are:

Harish Bharath(The remo dude)-He is our Adam Gilchrist-(Bcoz he will never take any catches genuinely but will appeal and confuse the umpire and will get the wicket)
GokulaKannan(The TCS Legend)-He calls himself as Irfan Pathan(Enna koduma sir ithu)
Harish.M(My self,the so called Ramu :()-I am the Uthappa(Y u know,only he is dropped from the team now :D )
Sundar Raman(The London domar)-He is our Ramesh Powar(At that time his physique was like that)
G.Karthigeyan(The Gym GK)-He is our Rahul Dravid(He will be very happy to hear this)
D.Karthigeyan(The respected Opicer)-He is our Ishant Sharma(Because he will be the not out Batsman forever,as he wont face even a single ball)
Keshava.R.K.A.Varma-He is our Dhoni(A match winner and a cool keeper)
Krishna Saran-He is our Yusuf Pathan(A destructive batsman)
Kumareshwar-The Steve Waugh(His twin brother Mark Waugh played in the rival team)
M.S.Karthik(The Dominator)-He is our Anil Kumble(Because he will call himself a spinner,but the ball will never spin,but some how manage to get wks)
Deepak(The mokka mama)-He is our Rohit Sharma(As he will not bat,but still will be in the team forever)

So this is the playing 11,we have some substitutes too.I will give a finishing touch why I am including these substitutes.
1.John Alex
2.Mohammad Jerjis
3.B.Karthick(TT)

And am not including R.Harish and John,the reason I will tell in the climax.
The other team is our senior batch and I dont know any of their names.So the team is announced.Now I have to give a brief summary about what has happened till that time.A small flash back.We played the cricket tournament organised by our department seniors.In that we were knocked out in the very first game.But we asked the organisers to provide another opportunity since we have paid an entry fee of Rs.300.He too accepted and conducted another match for the teams which were knocked out on the first game itself and we won that match with the help of our Dhoni and Yusuf Pathan.

So till now things are going pretty cool.Whats the suspense in this story?Whats the twist in this?Now comes the most expected day(Sambavam nadantha andru). We bunked our afternoon session for the sake of playing in this qualifiers.We went to ground.Now what next?

The toss.In the last 2 matches our Irfan Pathan captained the team and went for toss,but he couldn't win the toss,so this time we chose our lucky mascot,The Dude,Adam Gilli-Harish Bharath to go for the toss.As usual he successfully won the toss(Dude naale vetri thaane).Now you people may be thinking that we are going to start our batting.If u think so,I am sorry,because here comes my first twist.
The stumps were placed and everything was gearing up to start.Suddenly there came some unexpected people came to the spot.Who are they?Yes they are the rockstars of this CSE department.

The Maddy-Mr.Sabanayagam
The Small Maddy-Mr.Ganesan
The boss-Mr.Labbai
and some more super stars were there.

What happened?They got our Id cards and went off.Me and Irfan Pathan tried our best to escape,but the rock stars were quick enough to snatch our Id cards.They said that we didnt get permission to play cricket in college hours and said its an offence.We finally performed a march past to the HOD office. And we were outstanding there(I mean we were standing out).
Now comes the real Super Star,Mr.Sridhar,the HOD.He simply came towards us and said this is a black mark on u.Who cares if its a black mark or question mark.
He didnt leave with that,then he went on and fined us Rs.1000.Hope u ppl might have understood why the title is 1000 roobai nottu :( :x .

We complained that a senior student only misguided us,HOD said he will take action on him.Did he take?Yes he took action(as he is an honest man).Whats that action?The senior bugger who was responsible for all these was awarded an 'S' grade for his project.Long live HOD.

Ok now the finishing touch about the substitutes.Atleast we were part of the team we paid 1000.Y did Alex,Jerjis and TT pay 1000?The answer is here:
Alex was leaving to tambaram for his personal work.He became bit excited on seeing us taking bats and ball.So he came with us.His ID too was caught.He paid a 1000.
Jerjis?He was bringing stumps as he was about to go to class after giving the stumps.Unfortunately his ID too was caught.
TT(Karthick?)-He is the poor fellow in this.He went home for some personal reason and had OD too for that."OD achu BD aachu,take the one thousand" was the judgment given for him.Hope I have justified by adding these guys as substitutes.
Why I didnt include R.Harish and John?Bcoz they escaped and didnt pay the 1000 till the end.So they are out of the team.
Hope u had a mokka post and my next release may be one with my dear friend Dude(Harish Bharath as the lead character :D)

Hi friends

So finally I too started blogging.Dont know how far this blog will be active.Yet let me give a try in this too..Dream---Life---->Actually I chose this title coz am gonna create topics based on some of the incidents that has happened in my life.Now all those incidents appears like a dream for me.

Anyway,if I start blogging actively,you can surely see topics regarding new movie releases,about some great personalities,politics,current affairs,sports etc and etc.I know now this blog has ZERO viewers (and I I believe it will continue to be forever :D).
So let this be the first post in the blog and I will come with different posts soon.
