GodFather sound track was released in the month of February 2006, the film's trailor was released (or leaked???) in the net somewhere in the end of Feb 2006 but then the film was in cans until 9 months later for that year's Diwali when it re-incarnated as Varalaru (KSR who initially mocked at protests for Tamil films to be titled in tamil by remarking "GodFather ah ThagappanSami nu maathuna nallava irukkum" later got lured (or forced by producer) at the tax exemption for Tamil titles) ... ithai than avar trailer ah jubilee kondaadichu aana padam varaleengalae nu kindal ah sonnar.....Quote:

Based on Rajamouli's Maryada Ramanna Telugu movie. Jassi is the Son of Sardhar, that Sardar who killed the Dad Sardar of Billu. Billu and his brothers seek revenge and vow to kill the Son of Sardar.

Accidently Billu invites Jassie to his house not knowing his real identity. When he comes to know who Jassie is, he is helpless as in his family tradtion Guests are conseidered to be God Sent and should be treated with kindness. Billu waits for the moment for Jassie to get out of his house, but Jassie knowing this weakness outwits Billu by not steping out of his house. How Jassie tackles Billu forms the rest of the story, humoriously told.
+
Ajay Devgan, Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Dutt : Comedy timing (Kamal/Crazy Mohan movie style). Special mention to Sanjay Dutt - The scenes where he gets angry that Ajay is still in his house and then tries to calm down are really funny.
Dialogues : Good Sardar jokes all through the films.
Stunts : Brainless stunts but looks interesting and comical on screen. Goes well with the ambience.
Scenes
= when Billu's Brother chases to kill Jassi.
= where Jassi tries to escape
= where Billu's side kicks waits for Jassie to come out
= the train sequence
= many more ...
-
Towards the ends the story shifts to Hindi Style Romance. Sudden emotion drops your interest meter.
Songs and Load BGM
Overdose of illogical scences/stunts.
Overall a very good entertainer if you agree not to look for any intelligent stuff in movie. What Bol Bachan failed to do, Son of Sardar acomplishes it.
watched OMG!!
sensible and much needed... :claps:
Yeah.. I liked it too, except for that 'naadaga' feel. Rumour is that Aishwarya Dhanush is soon going to remake it in tamil with her father in Akshay's role.
not so meaty role...
the paresh rawal role is worth it...
English Vinglish ..... in Hindi..
- nalla irundhadhu..
- must watch for husband & children of middle aged indian housewife
I liked it too..as for the tamil version, I guess the message that the movie intends to give will reach the audiences better if Rajini plays Akshay's role...(purely my opinion)Quote:

Youtube has this movie both Hindi only and Hindi with English Subtitle versions. Do watch it.
Its quite embarassing to realize that one's taste differs from the majority of, not only hub members, but also the general moviegoers. I found SAGUNI watchable :ashamed:
A friend of mine went for FDFS. Unfortunately, I happened to be the Bali Aadu - first person whom he met on his way back home, to vent out his frustration. Idhellaam oru padamannu painju nimisham kaari thuppittaan. His wife was apparently pissed off by the tasmac song, urine and double meaning lines. Idhungallaam 'Delhi Belly' paatha enna sollumo?
Im still wondering why I don't find any reason to dislike it. Maybe due to the fact that I watched it in 3 installments over a period of 20 days, or maybe I had expected a worser movie. I agree, the story is unbelievable, screenplay is flawed, every scene is cliched and politicians are made to look like jokers. But it can still be considered a 'once paakalaam' kind of movie without much melodrama. The first half hour has some hilarious scenes involving Karthi & Santhanam. Karthi's acting is good in few scenes, particularly when he speaks to Roja in the airport and when he meets the CM outside his house. Though he looks good in the last scene, I find him a bit shapeless in tight pants.
The interval punch raises expectations. After a really long time, I found Nasser apt for the role of Beedi Samiyaar. Note his voice modulation when Karthi meets him on the dias. After that I expected the movie to fall flat and it did, but without any dull moments. Yeah the 80's movie stamp was there throughout, but so did Siruthai. I found it difficult to complete watching Siruthai's marana mokkai 2nd half. Those bombing scenes with Santhanam and the annoying antagonist were too silly. Adha vida Saguni mosam illaye :roll:
Yet to watch the other DisaSTARs this year - Billa2, Thandavam and Maattrraan. Hope I dont like them.
Mirattal... 1st half is enjoyable... 2nd half :fatigue:
Can watch for Prabhu's sake...
Watched Pithamagan on TV again
Bala .. I love you .
Skyfall
Actors : Daniel Craig, Judi Dench
Music : Thomas Newman
Directd By : Sam Mendes
Produced by : Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli
Banner : Eon Productions & Danjaq LLC
After announcing the death of James Bond, aging M has to defend her post and ideology against the newly elected ministry. She refuses to to step down, until she finds out who were behind the bombing of the MI6 building that killed several agents. Following the bombing, the threat of exposing agents in undercover operation menaces M. To her relief, Bond returns. He did survive but used "his death" as a retirement. He then embarks into a journey where he not only finds out who is behind these acts against MI6, but digs open the past and puts M's Life in danger by doing so. To save M from a not so normal villan, Bond makes a perfect plan to pull the villan to him by hiding M in his childhodd house "Skyfall". What happens in skyfall forms the climax and gives ways for Bond to return.
First thing first : I did not like Skyfall.
You should not tamper with legendry Characters. The movie clearly shows that the director had an intimate relationship with Nolan. Nolan destroyed Batman, now Bond enters into the dark drama episodes. If the argument is that they are making the movie for the current generation, to give them something new - they should not forget the past generation is still alive. For the current generation make movies like Twilight Saga - no questions asked, but why touch Bond or batty - they both were and are my favorite.
We have not come to see James Bond running around, but see him using his gadgets. We have not come to see James bond talking, but see him romancing.... and where is the theme music, goddammit.
But still the opening action sequence, title song and the villan were good.
It looks like a Van Damme or Chuck Norris film where they come back from retirement just because their Colonel is in danger. Showing James bond leading a Rambo Kind of life ridicules more the "50 years" character.
I storngly suggest these guys start up reading Ian Fleming Bond Series, or for that matter Nick Carter series. They would get an idea how great these guys are !
For people who consider Nolan as the best director on Earth. And for true bond fans : see it as you dont have a choice.

Directed by Oliver Stone. Nothing else to mention..
PIZZA

HonestRaj, there is a thread for Pizza Movie :
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...ous-amp-Creepy
- one time watch
- no repeat value
I already watched it Thrice, just for the Hero and naration. Will get the DVD or Bluray
- after a point pEi bangalow episode was boring
- heroine reminds me kuththu Ramya
Agreed
once the suspense is revealed film requires something special to make us watch again...
i don't find anything like that..
few scenes were good.. like the start & end (this one i guessed).. lot of twists.. but somehow i may not be interested to watch it again
Honest,
I don't know where you watched it. But some films deserve to be watched in theatres for the optimum effect. Pizza is one such movie.
For those interested in going beyond viewership, search for content and material in the movies. Once in a while there comes a movie which is worth discussing, debating, observing & learning. For this you got to view the movie several times. Show it to several people with same interest and collect their views - language is not a barrier [I have watched movies without sound - best way to analyse and critic a film work]. Its interesting. Eventhough you can't make a movie, you can always learn.Quote:

Film : why
Ambuli : concept, setting, costumes, performence
Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal : How a movie should not be made
Aravaan : reason out why it failed
Kazhugu : character developement, naration, atmosphere
Billa 2 : sreenplay, tone, dialogues, camera work
Maattrraan : special effects - notably the interval fight which seems to have bored many. This is technically a brilliant movie, many missed to appriciate it.
Pizza : performance, naration, lighting, sound, camera work - pros and cons
Thiruthani : just kidding ... got ya !
Ammavin Kaipesi : backdrop, photography
Eagerly waiting for Vishwaroopam. Kamal never disappoints me and there would be so many interesting bits to watchout for.
Billa2 Title Credits one of the bestest everest
Magalir Mattum on Kalaignar now,Urvashi-only she possible.
Claude Lelouch's, C'était un Rendez vous - The greatest and probably the most controversial piece of street car racing film - A car driving through an early morning Paris.

A small commentary:

Ordinary (Malayalam)
The film is soon to be remade as Jannal Oram in Tamil. A cliche driven feel good drama. Nothing extra ORDINARY.
yeah lovely film :bow: but same 1000 periyars kadhai thaan :lol2:Quote:

Which was that mediocre/bad film? Iruvar seems to be a half baked approach to me. Mani gave much importance to not-so-important events of Dravidian politics and diluted the essence. A good opprtunity got wasted.Quote:

Softie, please educate me what was the theme of Iruvar and how the screen play and songs helped to achieve that.
venki...
no cross questions.. enakku therivaa pesinaa kaekka theriyum... aana serivaa pesa theriyaadhu...

Education makes one think narrow!
IRuvar is Mani's best..period
watched life of pi yesterday..good movie ,great visuals..cant believe tiger is animated..its stunning but absolutely ridiculous to compare it with avatar
trailer'layae konjam colour tone contrastinga irundhuchae... i could easily make out it was an animated one... the scene when he lifts that cover to see the tiger inside, whr the tiger appears bright while the surrounding is pitch dark.. oru vaelai trailerla apdi therinchO..
ya if u see the full movie its difficult to find it...
Iruvar would have been Mani's best if he had the freedom he wanted......... kannathil muthamittal should be the best in my very humble opinion...Quote:

Barfi :bow: Ranbir :thumbsup:
Venkki,
As softy pointed out, Mani has tried his best with whatever freedom he enjoys in our country. And before releasing Iruvar, he had to screen it to many politicians, cut a few sequences. Whatever we see is the chopped version. Even last week,producer Kovaithambi had given a statement that he had raised his voice against Mani for showing Dravidian movement in bad light. Ordinary Kovaithambiye ippadinna periya periya thalaingallam enna pannirukkum?
Mediocre/bad film: Minsara Kanavu
It was lengthy and more than story, direction etc we should blame the editor. How can someone edit a film like this? I liked the film if you can fast fwd some redundant fight scenes, lengthy sequences in the 2nd half etc). Amazing production values, camera and CG work. Didn't find Surya's performance impressive. Was pretty much a cocktail of Vaaranam aayiram and ayan. Music and BGM sutham. I liked the concept. Director must have seen lot of steroid cow videos in youtube :lol:Quote:
