Aayarithil Oruvan – A mishap that became a disaster..

I always thought that Selveraghavan had some logic in his movies, even though I have never been a great admirer of his so called quintessential yet realistic approach of filmmaking. But ‘AO’ has surpassed all levels of insanity. Undoubtedly, it is one of his most pathetic works till date and I really felt that IContinue reading “Aayarithil Oruvan – A mishap that became a disaster..”

Frenzy IPL Engulfs Nation

The 3rd edition of IPL invokes the kind of expectations and thrill, which is reminiscent of the extravaganza that began couple of years back with pomp and glamour. Frankly, IPL has never interested me. I belong to the authentic school of copybook cricket and sincerely vouch for tests and ODI’s. For me, test cricket wouldContinue reading “Frenzy IPL Engulfs Nation”

Why are birthdays considered to be revered events in our lives..??

I have always been curious about the birthday syndrome..!!!?? Why are they so special..?? I mean, every second person in this world celebrates his/her birthday with pomp and glamour, or with a sense of fulfillment that he/she is worthy enough to be a year older..!!! But frankly, birthdays don’t excite me any more. They do not thrillContinue reading “Why are birthdays considered to be revered events in our lives..??”

VTV – Usually, love stories are meant to be just like this..

VTV is a fine product from Gautam’s stable. I would not say that ‘I loved it’ but I liked the way the love story was scripted and portrayed. I still feel that it is a classic that fell short by a whisker. But all said and done, an exquisite attempt from the talented filmmaker. The plot,Continue reading “VTV – Usually, love stories are meant to be just like this..”

The Monarch Gets His Share of The Pie.. Finally..

He has belted every record with phenomenal ease and an effortless display of authentic batsmanship. Today, was no different. When Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar touched the 200 mark, we all witnessed history in Gwalior.

Drama & Euphoria at the Eden..

It was a stupendous test match on a perfect platform, ‘The Garden of Eden’. India scripted a historic victory when they were almost on the verge of losing it out to the weather gods. But fortunately, rain stayed away on the final day’s play and it was left to the Indian bowlers to chop theContinue reading “Drama & Euphoria at the Eden..”

Rann – Intensity with Panache

I always watch RGV’s films with a sense of unpredictability. He is one of those few maverick filmmakers who can make an absolute gem one day and a disastrous dud on the next. Rann, fortunately, falls in the first category. And in the process, has ended up in creating a classic from his stable. TheContinue reading “Rann – Intensity with Panache”

Avatar – A Series of Bizarre Occurrences..

Avatar for me was an extravaganza of superlative visual graphics and mind boggling execution of 3D technology. And with that, I am done commenting about all the good things about this multi million blockbuster. Let me make myself very clear that fantasy has never excited me, probably I am too much in to the fraternityContinue reading “Avatar – A Series of Bizarre Occurrences..”

Apple’s iPad – How revolutionary could it be..??

The first looks of the iPad are indeed a revelation and going by the vehement statement made by Steve Jobs, it could be the magical multimedia device we all have never seen. But for now, all of our ideas, feedback and the critic’s review could just be a speculation. If you ask me, I amContinue reading “Apple’s iPad – How revolutionary could it be..??”

CPI(M) will never be the same again..

The demise of Jyoti Basu marked the end of an era. An era that witnessed some of the finest leaders this country has ever seen, and they were an embellishment to the fraternity of our political history. For many, Mr Basu might already be a part of folkfore, but for me, he has always comeContinue reading “CPI(M) will never be the same again..”
