A quicke

Just been busy again with these practicals and reports but anyway you must and have been thinking me must be tried after his speech (or better shot! )

Anyways just watched Jayam kondan pretty good movie but not brilliant, the storyline good, songs are OK. The problem with the songs are that their are in sync with mouth movement and well the scenery are good but songs are average or below average. The storyline is again good not something you can guess or expect so that good, will give this move 6.5/10, you should at least watch well for Bhavana anyway.

Back in with Movies

I’m after a two day break, well it wasn’t really a break as I had been quite busy the past 2 days (I did have something on one of those days, but I have forgotten what it was).

So moves had watched to English movies this week DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN and HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE. I have to say their were both funny and should be recommended to watched but I prefer Simon Pegg’s HTMFAAP (abbreviation), this is possibly because that I am British (well half) and the movie could relate to me. But DMWTZ (abbreviation) is a movie to the mick out of the Israel – Palestine war but has good and meaningful message for people part of any war (including in Sri Lanka)

Back to Tamil Movies watched Saroja yesterday brilliant and funny movie, I especially like the way that movie been edited, that is the new style and brill ant it is the storyline good as well. But hopefully not as good as Varanam Aayiram, which I hope is not like another Dhaam Dhoom (brilliant songs crap storyline, well it was good the whole story is actually supposed to be 1hour long which has been dragged onto another hour, badly orientate songs they all could within an hour!). But any way here is a Public Opinion Vid done by Indiaglitz which is surprising has mixed review and the the opinion actually is spilt down the middle guyz vs girls but it depends if you are into watching all genre romantic and action but this one is defiantly not action it meant to like Minnale (which is one of my favourite movies).

Varanam Aayiram

Here a movie that I been waiting for years (it seems), well the songs are brillant, storyline is brillant and the cast are brillant and (sexy, I ofcourse mean Divya and Sameera Reddy!). But I am probbably not going to watch this movie @ least for another month, but good thing come to all thoese that wait!

Here a Music Review:

Varanam Aayiram - Electrifying and entertaining

Music composer Harris Jeyaraj and director Gautham Vasudev Menon share a good rapport between them. The two have come together to work for over 30 songs with almost all of them going on to top the chartbusters. Since ‘Minnale’ to ‘Varanam Aayiram’, the two has been able to come up with a mix of catchy melodies, hip-hop and racy romantic numbers which have found a favorable place with the masses.

Joining the list of successful ventures from Harris – Gautham stable is ‘Varanam Aayiram’.

Speaking about the audio, Gautham Menon had said, ‘Varanam Aayiram’ is a tribute to the music my parents made me listen as I grew up, from when I was ten till I reached 17 years. My head is still filled with melodies I listened to during that period and a constant rhythm runs in my system, around which I write stories. The songs compliment those melodies and created by Harris Jeyaraj, who believed in my search for good music.’

Harris provides a constant rhythm all through the album with consistent energy level. The likes of Shruthi Haasan, SPB Charan and Hariharan chipping in for a song are a major highlight of this album. Harris has come out with a retro, hip-hop music, which is sure to go places.

Thamarai has penned all song but for Yethi Yethi, which Na Muthukumar has contributed.

Adiyae Kolluthaey – Krish, Benny Dayal, Shruthi Haasan

A perfect beginning with electrifying guitar that sets up the right memento for the anticipated flick. It is more a kind of a song played at rock band with a touch of melody in the middle. Shruthi Haasan has rendered her voice for the number which has Krish and Benny Dayal at their best.

Shruthi’s open-throated vocal as interlude and the additional percussion in the song are a delight to listen to.

Nenjukkul Peidhidum – Hariharan, Devan, Prasanna

It is a soft melody. Providing one a feel of listening to Eric Clapton’s number, the song sticks to our heart at the very first time. The soft melody which is laced with romantic lyrics by Thamarai, is very youthful. Though soft, it is very vibrant. Seemingly inspired by pop songs of 1980s, the song has Hariharan stamping his class all through.

Devan and V Prasanna gives him the right company. Thanks to Harris for the composition which has very less instrumentation and more of good lyrics.

Yethi Yethi – Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer, Solar Sai

Quite a different composition from Harris that is jubilant all the way. A youthful number which is sung by a group of friends, presumably in the movie, interestingly has English lyrics inter spread in it at most places. The song has bass guitar, drums combining well with the acoustics. Watch out for the guitar interlude, it is simply amazing. The songster simply rocks here. Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer and Solar Sai excel.

Mundhinam – Naresh Iyer, Prashanthini

A romantic song in which, the lover describes the beauty of his beloved in the most artistic manner. The lyrics are staged in the center. The blending of the guitar and the vocals of Naresh Iyer is the highlight of the song. A feel-good pop number, it is sure to become the craze of youngsters. The husky voice of Prashanthini sounds new.

Om Shanthi Om – Clinton, SPB Charan

A faster version of ‘Nenjukkul Peidhidum’ number rendered to add up. This time SPB Charan and Clinton renders the song which has right pace sans electrifying instruments. Harris Jeyaraj has given the right western touch to the pacey number but has ensured that the essential melody in it is not lost. The beautiful vocal in the interlude is worth listening to.

Ava Enna – Karthi, V Prasanna

A Gaana number from Harris Jayaraj! A surprise yet true. But the music composer has proved that he too can come up with a Gaana which would make the listeners get up and shake their legs with awe.

Set as a youth describing his romance, the song has everything in it to appease front-benchers, but class written all over it. The voice of Karthik and Prasanna suits the song well. Thamarai’s lyrics fit the mood well.

Annul Malae – Sudha Raghunathan

A classical song with Carnatic vocalist Sudha Raghunathan, rendering at her best for the traditional touch. More inspired by ‘pathos’ numbers of Tamil and Hindi films set in early 1960s, the song is seemingly a fusion of Carnatic and Hindusthani music. With Sudha Raghunthan rendering it with an Anglican accent. No doubt, it is a slow number, but the harmony is striking here.

‘Varanam Aayiram’ is no doubt one of the best from Harris Jeyaraj and Gautham duo. It is energetic and entertaining. A must listen musical score that is serene even while repeated.

Bikini babes on the rise

Pretty lasses adorned in bikinis was a sight for sore eyes to world audiences through Hollywood blockbusters during the swinging sixties. After about a decade bikini-clad heroines were seen in Hindi Cinema a la ‘Bobby’.

This particular facet of leading ladies wearing bikinis has taken some time to trickle down South. Nayantara made headlines wearing a bikini in the stylish film ‘Billa’. The tone seems to have been set from then on.

Grapevine has it that numerous directors wanted their leading ladies to appear in bikinis without much success. But then there are some who are quite successful too. Director Vishnuvardhan who churned out ‘Billa’ is working on ‘Sarvam’ right now and word has it that Trisha who is the leading lady of the film will be seen clad in a bikini.

The bikini fever has caught on. Now, Priya Mani will be seen in the famous two-piece attire for a Telugu film titled ‘Drona’ where she co-stars with Nithin.

The actress who won the National Award for best Actress playing a village belle in the film ‘Paruthiveeran’ has indeed made a huge stride towards glamour.

Is this the beginning of ‘bikini fever’ in South Indian Cinema?

Man seriously what happened to the Tamil culture or is it just moving of soicety?

But I did enjoy Nayantara in the bikini ;D
