South Indian Film Industry vs B(H)olly wood

Posted by: Illakiyaa on: November 4, 2009

Why do they always say that the actor/actress is moving up in the ladder of progess when he/she goes from South Indian Film Industry to Bollywood and Hollywood? Why not the other way round(even though i have not seen it happen till now)? What makes Bollywood and Hollywood THE mark of an actor/actress? I dont get it!!!!

வாழ்க்கையின் உருவகம்

Posted by: Illakiyaa on: October 29, 2009

அன்று ஒரு நாள்.
பள்ளி முடிந்த மதிய வேலை.
வழக்கமான பேருந்தில், கடைசியில் அமர்ந்து இருந்தேன்.
வாழ்க்கையை fast forward செய்தால் எப்படி இருக்கும் என்று எண்ணியிருந்தால்,
அந்த பேருந்து பயணத்தில் அறிந்து இருக்கலாம்.
இல்லை..இல்லை…
ஒவ்வொரு பேருந்து பயணத்திலும் அறிந்து கொள்ளலாம்.
அறிந்து இருக்கவேண்டும்.
அன்று வாழ்க்கை போகும் வேகத்தைப் பார்க்காமல்,
வாழ்க்கையின் விளைவைப் பார்த்துக் கொண்டு இருந்தேன்.
இப்புவியில் ஒவ்வொரு மனிதனும் இரு முறை பிறக்கிறான் என்று கூறினால்,
யாரும் நம்ப மாட்டார்கள்.
ஆனால், அதுத்தான் உண்மை.
மின்னல் பாய்ந்தால் ஏற்படும் வெண்மையின் நிறம்.
அந்த வெண்மையில், வாழ்க்கையின் நீதியைக் குறிக்கும் வகை,
அங்கங்கே கொஞ்சம் கரும் மயிர்.
அனுபவங்களின் கொடிய நகங்களின் வருடலைப் போன்று
அந்த முகத்தில் பலப்பல வரிகள்.
இவை சோகத்தின் குறிகளா?
இல்லை, வாழ்க்கையின் அனுபவ வரிகளா?
அவர்த்தான் கூற வேண்டும்.
குடும்பத்தின் சுமையைத் தூக்கி தூக்கி, வளைவு கண்ட முதுகு..
ஒளி இழந்த கண்களுக்கு சிறிதாவது பிரகாசம் வரும் என்ற நம்பிக்கையில்
ஒரு மூக்குக்கண்ணாடி. மூக்கின் நுனியில் நின்று கொண்டிருந்தது.
வயதின் தளர்ச்சி நடையில் தெரிய,
கையில் கட்டியாக ஒரு நடைக் கம்பு.
சிரிப்பு இழந்த அந்த வாழ்க்கையின் உருவகம் தள்ளாடி போய் ஒரு இருக்கையில் அமர்ந்தது.
இளமையை ஸ்ட்ரோ வைத்து உறுஞ்சிய உடல் ஒரு ஓரத்தில் பெரும் மூச்சுடன் அமர்ந்தது.
வாழ்க்கை கண் முன் நடந்து வந்து அமர்ந்ததைக் கண்டு சிறிது நேரம் அதிர்ந்து போனேன்.
வாழ்க்கையின் ஒரு அத்தியாயம் அது.
பிற அத்தியாயங்கள்……

படித்தேன் பரணரின் திருப்புமுனையை
அதன் எதிரொலி கேட்டது எனது மனதினிலே
தமிழன் என்ன அவ்வளவு சிறியவனா?
கல்வியில் சிறந்தவோர் பலர் இருக்க
சிறுமை வாய்ந்தோர் தமிழன் என்கிறார்.
வாரி வழங்க பலர் இருக்க,
நயவஞ்சகன் தமிழன் என்கிறார்.
காரணம் பல கூறினும்,
தமிழனைப் போல ஒருவன் இல்லை இப்புவியில்.
அவ்வபோது தலை குனிந்தாலும்,
பல முறை தலை நிமிர வைத்து உள்ளான் தமிழன்.
சிறிய மனம் படைத்தவன் இருப்பது இயற்கை.
வாழ்க்கையின் நீதி, அனைத்திலும் இரண்டு.
உறவிலும் இரண்டு.
வாழ்விலும் இரண்டு.
ஒளியிலும் இரண்டு.
இப்படி இருக்க,
தமிழன் ஒவ்வொருவனும் நல்லவன் என கூற வேண்டும் என
நினைப்பது மடமைத்தனமல்லவா?
ஒருநாள் வரும்,
நான் தமிழன் எனக் கூற நெஞ்சம் மகிழும்.

Eeram

Posted by: Illakiyaa on: October 23, 2009

This movie Eeram is directed by Arivazhagan and produced by Shankar. The cast are Nanda, Aadhi, Sindhu Menon and Chaya Singh. Before I go into criticizing and praising the movie(whichever comes first), I have to say the is superb. Now I think that sums up what I wanna say about the movie. The only big name in this movie is Shankar who produced the movie. Other then him, there are no other big names. But the movie doesnt really make you think that.

Aadhi who acted in mirugam has acted very well in this movie. This is a very different character from the one he played in mirugam. And most importantly he looked very very different from Mirugam. And it is a very good difference. :) . He played the sweet lover very realistically. I would say that his real strength in this movie is his agility. How he moves through out the movie with the silent strength and calmness. Superb!!!

Sindhu Menon. The last movie that I saw of hers was samuthiram. I din really like her in that movie. But in this movie, I take back my word. She acted very well. She was the perfect sweet girl who was very sensitive. She talked through the eyes. Everytime she gave the look, it spoke volume. Sindhu is very very good.

Nandha as the psycho husband played it to the perfect. But he did the negative role with such calm. With such control of anger. It has been a long since I have seen that kind of villain.

I was wondering when I saw the title of the movie of how relavant it is to the movie. I have to say that for once, the director have chosen a title which suited the movie throughout. I realised that they titled as Eeram for two reasons. One was coz water was the common medium in all the murders. That was the obvious one. The no so obvious one was to have some consious when talking about another person. A gossip would cost a person’s life. A thriller movie with a good message. :)

You will leave the theatre feeling all the feelings. Happiness when you see the love between Vasu(Aadhi) and Ramya(Sindhu). Sadness over the fact they could not get together and that Vasu still loves Ramya. Anger when you realise that the husband killed Ramya.

The songs were melodious mostly. They remind me of the breeze. I donnoe why. Nice to hear.

The story-wise, I would say its good. Smooth moving and very importantly it moved between the past and present. The colours used throughout the whole movie gives you the feel of the scene to be seen and felt. For once I cannot find a fault in a movie and this is it.:)

Watch it!!!

Talent

Posted by: Illakiyaa on: October 23, 2009

I know there are many many many talents out there..But I always felt that drawing and singing are what you mean by art.. And at times I am sad by the fact that I cant do neither drawing or singing…How I wish……? :(

Aadhavan

Posted by: Illakiyaa on: October 22, 2009

athavan

Aadhavan is a deepavali release. A much expected movie. One of the reason for such a high expectation is actor Surya. He is known to try to do different roles for most of his movies. He is willing to take the effort to go the extra mile. My expectation for his acting skills reached the highest after seeing Varanam Ayiram. In Ayan, I saw it as good entertainer even though it did not reach the expectation that resulted from Varanam Ayiram.

But Aadhavan, it just blew my mind. A movie is made up of many components. And I say that only two components make me go ‘wow’ in this movie. The camerawork. It was superb. He made the scenes come alive. The other was is the technical aspect. The way they used technology to complement the camerawork.

The main characters Surya and Nayanthara, they were both hot. Surya did his job in acting. I wont say its exceptionally good or different. But its good. Nayanthara has no variety in any of her movies. The same turn. The same smile and the same postures. Nothing different from her. But for once, she wore proper clothes for most of the movie.

The story was very loosely linked. We can clearly see that the story has no direction. Some scenes were even redundant. At times some scenes, seemed detached from the whole movie. And I have no idea why.

The other savior of the movie that I forgot to mention is the comedy. It was good. Vadivelu made me laugh alot throughout the whole movie.

To sum everything up, Aadhavan is a movie that is average. Can be watched once for entertainment. But it may be a disappointment to some, esp the most talked about scene in the movie-the ten year old boy.
