I am of the opinion that an actor, however much talented he might be, must be an egomaniac if he makes a movie just to beat an existing record for the maximum number of on-screen roles. But then, most actors are egomaniacs. In fact, most people are egotists, so there isn’t anything wrong in a [...]

Of all the comments that I have come across concerning Dasavathaaram, this one was the best. The sentence in bold was ROTFL-ly funny.
From Shrinivas’ Seven Point Someone:
“The idol that is drowned in the sea along with Rangarajan in 12th century by Chozha king results in a fault being developed at the bottom of the ocean [...]

Of the four (Tamil) movies that I have watched this year, this is definitely the most entertaining. Well, what can I say? Genelia D’Souza for President!
After watching the movie, I was discussing it with a friend. He had heard that it was a remake, so he asked me if I knew if it was so. [...]

Watched this movie over the weekend. A few people had recommended this movie, and I also saw that the Telugu version (the original) was a huge success. Well, even if you went in with no expectations at all, you would feel let down. This movie was terribly boring!
It seemed to me that the crew had [...]

Watched The Pursuit of Happyness over the weekend. An inspiring movie, worth watching once over. I thought the kid who acted as Will Smith’s son did a superb job. Will Smith himself was excellent.
Here is a scene I loved. Will Smith, who is without a job and struggling to get by, tells his son that [...]

A real good one, combining visuals from The Matrix, with audio from Sivaji’s trailer. Thanks Eshwar for the link.

Ever since I came to know that Kamal Hassan’s next project is titled Marmayogi, and that it is the title of a 1951 MGR movie, I have been trying to get the old movie. Any amount of search on the Internet has proved abortive. I cannot even find a single song from the movie, let [...]

… is the kind of movie that you should not watch even if someone gave you 100 million dollars, because you would not live to enjoy the money.

1. Vel: Above-average masala flick, evidently designed to please as many sections of the audience as possible in over 2 hours. Excellent performance by Surya, in his first (?) double role, that puts to shame Vijay’s ATM. No doubt Vel is rocking the BO this Deepavali. Despite the music being a let-down, the movie is [...]

It is very clear - Surya currently leads the race to become the next superstar of Tamil cinema. One can arrive at no other conclusion after watching Vel.
Surya’s introduction scene in the movie is cliched - and he uses even more cliches when he talks about how to hold the aruvaal. But once the dust [...]

Today I chanced to watch the movie Azhagiya Thamizhmagan. I was surprised that I found myself liking it, when everyone who had spoken to me about this movie had trashed it. Even more surprising because I didn’t like the songs very much, yet basically everyone trashed my music review.
The movie reminds me of MGR’s Ninaithadhai [...]

What is the claim to fame of Sundarrao Nadkarni with respect to Tamil cinema?
Update: Ok, that turned out to be a damp squib. Shri Nadkarni was the director of Haridas, the most successful Tamil movie pre-1950.

Oram Po, starring Arya and Pooja, is slated for release in a couple of weeks. The movie has faced lots of problems, hence the delayed release. I chanced to catch the trailer (which has been out for long) yesterday. Must say it is one of the best movie trailers in recent times. If it is [...]

This has to be the funniest. Nothing comes close.
Gabtun turns techie in “Arasangam”
I’m wondering what the “death by numbers” dialogue will sound like… “pona varusam, Indhiya-vula moththam viththa laptop ettu lachathi ezhaayiram, adhula Dellu moonu lachathi pathaayiram, Hewlett Bacardi rendu lachathi naalayirathu muppathi ettu…”
(Thanks, Eshwar, for the link. You made my day!)

Anuradha SenGupta, Features Editor at CNN-IBN, shares her opinion about enduring the ordeal that is Sivaji.
Well, everyone is entitled to voice an opinion. But Ms. SenGupta goes rather overboard in trying to prove that the movie isn’t great. Her post reads as if it were a natural reaction to someone who suggested that the Rajnikanth [...]

What kind of futility is it to attempt to speak a few words about Mozhi, a movie that magically transports you into a world where words lose all meaning!
I didn’t know till a couple of days ago that Mozhi was supposed to be Jyotika’s last movie. After three hours of the movie, I come out [...]

Gautham Menon takes a break from his similar-themed cop flicks and explores the concept of infidelity and its effects on a loving family in a slickly-made, technically brilliant movie, in which Arvind Krishna’s camerawork, Harris Jeyaraj’s songs and background score compete with Sarathkumar for the tag of hero. I will take an early bet on [...]
