UNNAI POL ORUVAN MOVIE REVIEW......

In simple words, ‘Unnai Pol Oruvan’ can be regarded as ‘Better than the best’. It’s because, the remake version seems to be much stupendous than the original ‘A Wednesday’. Of course, the biggest highlighting feature is that Kamal Haasan hasn’t let any changes to the script including the film’s duration (that exactly goes with 100mins). Fine! Let’s not get ourselves dragged with the analysis and you can just take a glimpse over the story… ‘Unnai Pol Oruvan’ is a story that revolves around a calamitous day where the entire city is shook with a single call from that starts off the thriller drama. A stranger over the top of under-construction building’s terrace makes a call to city commissioner (Mohan Lal) stating that he has planted bombs at various parts of the city. Nothing seems to be a serious issue for commissioner as he presumes it to be a crank call. But things start rolling ahead topsy-turvily when the stranger reasserts about his powerfulness by ensuring that he has placed 3kgs of RDX bomb at a police station.

Now, it’s up to city commissioner for settling down the backbreaking task. Well, the stranger wants to release 4 most wanted terrorists held as prisoners by the government or else he would blast the entire city. Since, it’s too difficult to go around the city and detonate the bombs, the police department has to go flexible over the stranger’s offer. But when the terrorists are released, there’s something more shocking for the cops and as well the audiences. Firstly, when it comes to analyzing the performance, everyone in the screens have excelled with top-notching performance. Hats off to Kamal Haasan! Unlike his previous films, where he delineates himself in prominent role overshadowing others, he has likely delivered an unparalleled endeavor. Mohan Lal is ‘wordlessly stupendous’ and he keeps you engrossing all throughout the show. As a matter of fact, he has got more importance than Kamal Haasan, who sweeps us off on our senses in climax portion. Be it Anuja Iyer as a journalist or a frustrated cop Ganesh Venkatram: they’ve just lived under the skin of characterizations.

I would like to appreciate Mr. Kamal Haasan having made a mind-boggling statement in climax portions. As a media professional, I had just felt disappointed when most of the Tamil TV Channels failed to showcase the depth of 26/10 attack in Mumbai. Precisely, when he mentioned the same part, I could just reflect myself over the screens. And that’s the victory of this film as everyone, each and every audiences seated before the screens would doubtlessly reflect themselves as well whose hearts are brimmed with millions of unanswered questions in the society. Indeed, Kamal Haasan brings his real life experience of his name missing in ‘voting list’ as he claims him as an invisible man. Shruthi Haasan fails to deliver better background score while the cinematography is best. Dialogues are so touching as they keep winning applauses on each and every line. When it comes to Chakri, there’s nothing much to appreciate him as he has just copycatted the exact version. Excuse us Chakri! We would surely welcome you with best verdicts from your next film if it isn’t a remake. Possibly, we have analyzed ‘Unnai Pol Oruvan’ in both technical and narrative aspects. But then, how about the film’s business at box office? It’s not at all a big issue. With a long Ramzan weekend for next 4 days, both Kamal Haasan and UTV Motion Pictures are sure to fill their sacs with the profit money more than they could’ve expected.

NINAITHALE INIKUM- MOVIE REVIEW

Classmates, the Malayalam blockbuster comes to Tamil as Ninaithale Inikkum directed by debutant G N R Kumaravelan, son of the legendary director G N Rangarajan. Adhering to the original format mostly, Kumaravelan has done a decent job in this Gemini Film Circuit production venture. Prithviraj (who featured in the original version as well), Sakthi Vasu, Priya Mani and Anuja Iyer (Sivi fame) are one set of friends in a college while Karthik Kumar and Lollu Sabha Jeeva are in the rival gang. Prithviraj meets Priya Mani on the first day of college and it is love at first sight for him but he never divulges his love to her. Karthik, on the other hand is a rich brat, interested in a girl but when his feelings are not reciprocated, he forces the girl to love him. Prithvi intervenes in favor of the girl that sets the ball rolling for bitter acrimony between the men. Meanwhile Prithvi’s popularity graph soars in the college, thanks to his pro-student activities which irk Karthik who is on the look out for a suitable opportunity to bring Prithvi down. Further interesting events mark the rest of the film wherein there are some surprise twists in the love angle revealed only in the denouement.

Prithvi scores in his performance and proves he is after all an experienced artist. Ninaithale Inikkum will be a significant milestone in his film career. Among the other members, Karthik dazzles. He has exploited the given minimal situations to his credit and heaps applause. Testimony of his Evam experience indeed! Priya Mani takes some time to thaw and becomes normal in the second half. Sakthi understands his role and delivers. K Bhagyaraj as Sakthi’s dad is apt. Screen play has been dealt with a touch of maturity. Balasubramanian gets plaudits for his beautiful work with the camera. Vijay Antony’s music is appreciable especially in the ‘Azhagai Poothade’ number. In many places he has let silence speak which is praiseworthy. In some way or the other audience is bound to relate to the film especially the college days. The director who chose to convey sorrow intensely could have extended similar treatment to happiness also which would have hastened the first half.

Starring: Prithviraj, Sakthi, Karthik Kumar, Priyamani, Anuja Iyer, Jeeva, Bhagiyaraj
Direction: G N R Kumaravelan

KIRSTEN URGES INDIA TO TARGET NO:1 SPOT- SACHIN MAKES HIS COMEBACK

India plays its first match against New Zealand in the tri series, tomorrow in srilanka. India will rock as Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar makes his comeback in the tournament. Coach Gary Kirsten has urged his players to focus on becoming the top one-day side, which they can do by winning every match in the one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka. New Zealand and hosts Sri Lanka are the other teams in the event ending on Monday, a warm-up ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy starting in Kirsten's native South Africa on Sept. 22. "We've set our goals for the next eight months on what we want to achieve but one of them is to become the best cricket team in the world," he said before the team's departure on Wednesday. "We are headed that way and we are very excited."

Second-ranked India can overtake South Africa, one rating point ahead, if they win all the games in Sri Lanka.
However, India will be without explosive opener Virender Sehwag and bowling spearhead Zaheer Khan. Both are recovering after shoulder surgery and will be sidelined until after the Champions Trophy. India, as holders, were knocked out in the first round of the Twenty20 World Cup in England, although they won a low key one-day series against hosts West Indies before taking a break. Their main worry is finding the ideal opening partner for Gautam Gambhir. "We are not sure about the combination," Kirsten said. "But obviously, missing Sehwag is huge, he is a high quality player." He welcomed back Rahul Dravid, the 36-year-old batsman who last played a one-dayer in October 2007 but has been recalled for the Champions Trophy after young team mates fell to short-pitched bowling at the Twenty20 World Cup.

HARBHAJAN SINGH PUNCHED A TELEVISION CAMERAMAN

Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh spun into fresh controversy on Wednesday after angrily punching a hand-held television camera after the cameraman brushed against him while filming. Indian television channels showed 29-year-old Harbhajan, the central figure in two on-pitch rows in the last two years, hit the camera after the Camera man pushed forward while the player was retrieving luggage from a car at Bangalore airport. India's second most successful bowler has often come under the spotlight for the wrong reasons.

Last year he was initially found guilty of racially abusing Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds before the charge was downgraded on appeal to using abusive language. A few months later he was suspended for slapping bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth during a domestic Twenty20 league match. There was no comment from the cricket board or Harbhajan, who was on his way to Sri Lanka for a one-day series. The camers edge was hooding bhajji and so in anger he punched the camera man. This is Quite natural and every individual aill respond in the same way as bhajji did.

80 PEOPLE DIE AFTER RAJASEKHARA REDDY'S DEATH

More than 80 people across Andhra Pradesh have died of shock or committed suicide after the death of their chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, prompting his MP son Y S Jagannathan Reddy to appeal to his late father's admirers to be patient and brave. "I appeal to all of you to be patient and be brave in this hour of tragedy. He (YSR) wanted to see a smile on the faces of all and if you resort to such things (suicide) this will hurt him," said Jaganmohan, trying to hard to control his tears. "I request you not to commit suicide," said Jaganmohan, who was elected to Lok Sabha from Kadapa in recent elections and is being seen by many as the next chief minister.

The appeal before the camera was telecast on all Telugu television channels. Telugu television channels estimated that 77 people died of shock on hearing the news of their leader's death in a horrific air crash Thursday or committed suicide, unable to bear the loss. Most of those who died of shock were watching news of YSR's death on television. This is the first time in the state's history that such a large number of people have died over the death of any political leader.
YSR, as the late leader was popularly known, has surpassed in death the popularity of actor and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder N.T. Rama Rao who died in 1996.

A large number of those who died of shock included young supporters of YSR and the beneficiaries of the various welfare schemes launched by him in the last five years. They suffered a cardiac arrest following the news of the chief minister's death in the helicopter crash. The deaths were reported from 19 out of 23 districts in the state. In the coastal district of West Godavari, six people died of shock and four committed suicide. "YSR dedicated his life to people, I am dedicating my life to him," a youth wrote in his suicide note before consuming pesticide. A physically handicapped couple, who were getting monthly pension under a welfare scheme, attempted suicide by jumping into the Godavari river but were saved by fishermen. In Hyderabad, 42-year-old Yadgiri died of shock while watching news of YSR's death on television. M Srinivas, 30, suffered cardiac arrest.

AP CHIEF MINISTER(Y S RAJASEKHARA REDDY) FOUND AT KURNOOL

Andhra pradesh chief minister Y S Rajasekhara reddy is missing from the morning along with his chopper(helicopter). A helicopter carrying Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy was on Wednesday missing an hour after it took off from old Begumpet airport at 8.35am, raising fears about his safety. Chief minister’s principal secretary S. Subramanyam and chief security officer A. S. C. Wesley and two pilots were also on board the twin-engined government helicopter that lost contact at 9.35am when it was headed for Chitoor district, over 600kms from here.

At least four helicopters, including three belonging to the Air Force, have been pressed into search operations but no contact has been established. There is no information of the Bell 430 helicopter, having landed anywhere, finance minister K. Rosaiah told a press conference here. While he expressed hope that the chief minister could be safe, state chief secretary P. Ramakanth Reddy said it could be possible that the helicopter could have landed in an unfamiliar area from where getting out could be difficult. “So far we have not been able to make any contact. It is possible because of strong winds and inclement weather, it may have landed in an unfamiliar area from where getting out can be difficult. Time we have before sunset is limited and it is raining heavily,” he said.

Due to bad mobile connectivity and the area being heavily forested, officials have so far failed to make any contact with the Chief Minister sending security agencies into a tizzy.Even though the area is not Naxal-affected but there is panic as the officials have not been unable to contact Reddy. Bad weather is also hampering the rescue mission. The Defence Ministry has also deployed an unmanned aerial vehicle for tracking the Chief Minister. Andhra Pradesh has also asked the Centre for all-weather helicopters for search operations during the night. Meanwhile, in a startling revelation a Director General of Civil Aviation report has claimed that Reddy's Bell 430 helicopter was not air worthy.

Andhra Pradesh Finance Minister K Rosaiah said that there has been no information of the Bell 430 helicopter having landed anywhere while addressing a press conference in Hyderabad. While he expressed hope that the Chief Minister could be safe, state Chief Secretary P Ramakanth Reddy said it could be possible that the helicopter could have landed in an unfamiliar area from where getting out could be difficult. The IAF has, meanwhile, pressed into service four helicopters to search for the missing chopper.

Two chetaks, one MI8 chopper and a Dhruv advanced light helicopter have taken off from Bengaluru to trace the chief minister’s chopper, said a spokesman of the Indian Air Force. "There has been no contact established with the helicopter," sources in the ministry said.They said the situation was being monitored by Home Minister P Chidambaram and top officials who are in touch with Andhra Pradesh government officials. CM and others are expected to have landed at the jungle areas in kurnool

ENDHIRAN LATEST NEWS

A source close to the Endhiran stable revealed that although 85% of the movie is wrapped up except for a few scenes, the major chunk of the task, the post-production work is expected to extend for a year. Made at a whopping budget, Endhiran’s graphics and visual effects are the highlights and will go on for about a year before the movie is ready to embellish the movie screens.

Rajinikanth’s elder brother Sathyanarayana Rao on sunday said that the Superstar would make an announcement about his political plans after the release of his forthcoming film Endhiran.Speaking to reporters in Tiruchy, where he attended a function organised by Rajini fan clubs to release the CD on the Superstar titled Makkal Manam Kavarndha Mannan, Sathyanarayana said, "At present Rajini’s full concentration is now on Endhiran. He has been working hard for the movie. He would make a decision about his political entry after the completion of the film." Stating that he was not in Tiruchy to hold any consultation but to attend a function organised by fan clubs, the superstar’s elder brother said the matinee idol would make a 'right decision' and announce it at a right time. News from the Shankar-directed The Robot /Endhiran camp is that Prabhu Deva is choreographing a dance sequence involving Rajinikanth. It is said that special plans have been made to make the song a unique one.

The buzz we hear from the Endhiran team is that this song will be shot in the blue mat format. What is so special about the blue mat format is that it has the ability to show 100 Rajinis in a single shot. Endhiran is a mega budget film that has super star Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead. It is directed by Shankar and music is by the Oscar winner AR Rahman.

Recently Superstar praised lyricist Vairamuthu for his catchy and meaningful lyrics written for Endhiran. No doubt, Vairamuthu is truly a magician of lyrics. Particularly for Rajinikanth, he has delivered some of the best lyrics in his career.Recently Vairamuthu impressed our superstar Rajinikanth. Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics for a few songs in Rajni’s Endhiran. Endhiran, meaning Robot, tells the story of a man who invents a robot. To suit the situation, Vairamuthu had written that as the robot is invented by a man, it has ‘father tongue’ and not ‘mother tongue’. Rajnikanth was bowled over by this and wondered at Vairamuthu’s intelligence. A humble Vairamuthu said that both the director Shankar and the superstar appreciated this line.

"The mantra to success is hard work mixed with smartness and intelligence", says Tamil superstar Rajnikanth. Speaking Sunday at the audio release of “Eeram”, produced by Shankar’s ‘S’ Pictures and directed by newcomer Arivazagan, Rajnikanth said: “Shankar is an example of hard work, coupled with smartness and efficiency.”
