A consecutive blogging day!!

Mannn!!!! this isnt the way it has to be....is that am left with no work... or am i over working.. the latter is definitely a big nooot...i feel am the biggest vetti in the whole planet as of now...just getting bored of seeing the same screen...i hope am over loaded with work so that i dont open my mouth at all...Gosh this country is damn sick....every thing takes its own sweet time to happen...and each procedures have so many sub procedures that u end up filling a hell a lot of forms and at the end of the day u have done no useful work... my work is damn interesting but the time taken to get hold of the equipment is breath taking....ufff... Hope am relieved of this boredom soon...

Sivaji !!! A Pompous Myth!!!

Alas... the much awaited Sivaji hits the theatre ... Sivaji is claimed to be the magnum opus of the super star.. With the pioneers of various sectors ( music, director, producer blah blah...) uniting under one roof , of course it does cause a stir of enthusiasm, anxiety and mixed emotions......So it opened as expected with packed theatres..I managed to get a ticket for the first day..Though not a movie buff, with all the hype the movie managed to create i thought it is worth watching it on the first day..15/06/2007.. 9:20 pm , Golden village Singapore.. One of the theatres hosting Sivaji... Managing to get hold of our seats..we sat down...At one glance wat do i notice... wooow the theatre is full never seen such packed house.. when the movie started hmmmm for an instance where am i , in satyam or GV....no idea.. it sounded the same.. infact the audio effect in the theatre was horrible....Satyam was faar faar better....
With all shouting and clappings ( thalaivaa....and all)...could just read the hero's lips...but slowly the claps and voices faded and now could here the dialouges...One shud appreciate rajni for taking risk at this age...shankar tried to show him as a man in his 20's...hmmm wat can we say.. it was way too baad.. the starting scene were in he comes down in the escalator..and calls vivek his uncle..I was like wat the hell..!!! isnt it lookin so obvious who is lookin elder... Shankar must have thought all the spectators to be blind i guess.. the starting song with nayantara... who looks soo skinny that it took a while to recognise her... the music the sets were all too good( the usual shankar's touch)...the choreography too.. but we know our thalaivar who is not so good at dancing fall apart from the group and looks too obvious..Next comes the dialogues..I expected one from our thalaivar.But surprise punch dialouges are not from our thalaivar but from vivek..Except for the one when Rajni takes down the goons ( Panninga Gumbala varum anaa singum singleaa varum).... Rajni-vivek combo ...hmmmmm something neww... but its okk..the comedy is just okkk not like that of Rajni- vadivel comedy in Chandra mukhi....rajni has managed to imitate vadivelu, sivaji , MGR too...In one of the scenes shriya refuses to marry him sayin he is dark and not fair as she is.. and they show our thalaivar using fair and lovely,, multani mutti, fruits and all.. and at last he uses make up to tranform into a vellai thamizan.. I guess he could have done this before itself rather than showing him using fruits, cream etc....just adding up to the movie's length..
Next Thalaivar in a blonde hair do .... cudnt digest.. but thank god it lasted only for a while...
This time the theme of the movie Shankar opted was to uncover red tapism in different government organisation...Its good that u show the red tapism, but isnt it becoming a mundane subject in all shankar's movie..
Mudhalvan, anniyan , and now Sivaji...
Suman as an educationalist acted pretty well...infact succumbed to the character itself tht wen ever u see him u get irritated to the core..

Raguvaran as a med college dean...hmmmm...he himself looks like a skeleton...he giving CPR to a an electrocuted child...I was like hellloo makkalee.. wats goin on...( I guess its better not to use ur mind in the movie... just watch it as it is) and more over y is this scene comin in between... then in the course of the movie u realise y is it for...
U shud appreciate shankar who always usses latest gadgets and technology.. this time the voice software he uses as password is good..

the climax stretched up a bit.. say about half and hour...but it is worth watchin...I would say the climax is the best part of the movie..Thalaivar gets electrocuted and saved by raguvaran the scene is mimmed with the verappan's incident...and every one thinks thalaivar is dead.. now wat happens to his wealth, institution blah blah....Then our hero's friend from USA comes for the rescue.. he alights from the helicopter...wat do we see ...our thalaivar with a tonsured head or tonsured thalaivar ( wat ever!!)... drums on his head and says bosss mottai boss... that was awesome... but wen they showed a closeup... oh noo please pull the camera awaay... a long fight with the villain...u see a matrix style and infact u cud clearly see that its not our thalaivar fighting over there.. This scene cud have been more realistic..and finally the movie ends...ufff....To sum up all the movie doesnt reach the expectations it has created....now we will wait for dasavatharam.... !!!!!!!!!
