Thira : Review

Thira :- The first ever malayalam film which made me thrilled and excited by seeing the trailer itself. A perfect hattrick of Vineeth Sreenivasan. First one was friendship second one was a love story and now he comes up with a perfect thriller with the graceful actress SHOBHANA. In each and every shot, in each scene, she will make the audience thrilled. She will make your vein burst with her bravura performance. Jomon T John's visual magic with the heart throbbing music by Shaan Rahman. On the whole, THIRA, is an awesome thriller ever released in malayalam and the one who watch this will eagerly wait for the second part.

5/5

Geethanjali: Small Review

Geethanjali:- The very talented director Priyadarshan is degrading himself by taking this kind of stupid scripts. Screenplay could have been much more better and this one resembles the story of a film which has released released 8 years ago. The only change is the added horror element in it. That has been done in a very good manner. Casting is very poor and Mohanlal has nothing to do in it. Just a big show off thats all. On the whole, GEETHANJALI, is a just another fucking film (dialogue inspired from the movie SPIRIT) of mohanlal-priyadarshan combo.

NINE RULES THAT AJITH BROKE - 'WHAT WAS AJITH THINKING?'

Trying and succeeding in establishing a career in the industry without any backing or godfather, not giving up on his passion for racing, staunchly staying away from the media glare – Ajith has broken one too many rules as opposed to anybody of his stature. While Arrambam has opened to impressive numbers, we take a look at some of the rules he broke, to gallantly follow his heart.

1. Career break after Villain & Asal to pursue racing

Career break might be the most trending phenomenon these days but it is still frowned upon in the film industry. Ajith did the unthinkable when he took a career break after the release of Villain to pursue his interest in racing. This despite having an exciting career with full of prospects - Villain was received well and his career graph looked up. He, however, decided to burn the rubber for a while. Ajith took a similar break after the release of Asal too, to pursue his passion for racing.

2. Taking up an effeminate role at the peak of mass hero image

Despite having a mass hero’s image and a huge fan following, Ajith had the guts to take up an effeminate role in Varalaru in 2006, risking ridicule. He pulled it off with ease, elan and plenty of hard work. The classical dance sequences were done convincingly by the actor and director K.S.Ravikumar talks about Ajith’s guts in glowing terms even today.

3. Saying No to ‘Ultimate Star’

The star decided to get rid of his extremely popular ‘Ultimate Star’ tag before the release of Asal in 2010, as he felt that the rules of the game were changing and that such monikers were needless for an actor like him. But, the tag refuses to fade away. In addition to the omnipresent ‘Thala’ tag, ‘Ultimate Star’ continues to dominate posters and banners, prior to any new Ajith release.

4. Dismantling his countless fan clubs

Actors need fan support – lot of it and fan clubs can only reassure the star’s status. Not if you are Ajith. He did the most daring of all things by simply dismantling his fan clubs. He let his films speak for themselves. He thought fans will follow suit and stay with him. Boy was he right. Today, he continues to command an enviable opening thanks to his omnipresent fans. The absence of an official fan club hasn’t hindered Ajith’s following one bit.

5. The Mankatha gamble

You can experiment with your roles if you are Kamal. Or say Vikram. But if you are a commercial hero, you have to stick to certain rules. That, however, is only a common notion. Ajith veered off the beaten path with his negative role in Mankatha and emerged super successful. He proved that a hero can have shades of grey (fifty and more indeed).

Our onscreen heroes have one thing in common – they are evergreen. The most important aspect of maintaining that tag is to have a pate of jet black hair, no matter how old. Ajith, however, did not let dye take his life (or hair) over. As a result, the salt & pepper hair is the trendy thing to have happened to a Tamil film hero. Mankatha, Arrambam, Veeram and looks like the salt & pepper trend is here to stay, thanks to Thala.

6. Overcoming life threatening injuries even before making it big with Pavithra and Aasai

Ajith overcame a couple of life threatening injuries even before making it big with movies like Pavithra and Aasai. He continued to focus on his film career and these injuries, thankfully, did not hinder his career in films so much.

7. Going the extra mile with stunts

Be it hanging dangerously from a helicopter for Billa 2, diving from a sky bridge for Billa or pulling off dangerous stunts in Paramasivan, Mankatha and Arrambam, Ajith continues to make his stunts look authentic on screen. All the safety measures and expert choreography notwithstanding, it takes guts for a man in his 40s to do the kind of stunts that Ajith has been doing over the past few years.

8. Work is Worship - orthopedist can wait for Arrambam

Being one of the committed actors in the industry also means paying less heed to your orthopedist. Ajith was advised complete rest owing to the issues with his leg, post an accident while shooting for Arrambam. Priorities, the man said, and he finished his commitments for the movie on time.

9. The 19 hour marathon

Recently Ajith undertook a long road trip in his super-bike from Pune to Chennai, a distance of about 1300 kms which the actor covered in around 19 hours, including some rest and relaxation breaks. Ajith did this to promote safe driving techniques and also apparently felt really rejuvenated. For anyone, such a trip is a test of endurance, but for an actor who has crores worth of business riding on his movies, such a trip has its share of risks too.

Ajith's Arrambam crosses 50 crores in 5 Days

Vishnuvardhan directed 'Arrambam' starring Ajith, Nayanthara, Arya and Taapsee which released for Diwali on October 31st has crossed 50 crores collection in the first week. The much awaited Ajith flick grossed 7.20 crores at the Chennai box office alone and about 30 crores in Tamil Nadu.

Along with the overseas collections, the film has grossed more 50 crores in total, much to the delight of the fans and makers. The film now has also got more screens due as Karthi starrer 'All in All Alaghu Raja' hasn't fulfilled the audiences expectations. With more screens for ' Arrambam', the collections are expected to soar in the next couple of weeks.

Mammootty or Mohanlal, who is the better actor?

In Malayalam film industry this is a question which would make many critics frown – Mammootty or Mohanlal, who is the better actor?

The ultimate theory is that nobody has an equal. And one great actor’s talent can’t be compared with another great, especially when they follow totally different techniques of acting.

Mammootty can be taken as India’s finest method actor while Mohanlal is one of the greatest natural actors the country has produced. Whatsoever, both Mammootty and Mohanlal are considered as the finest actors in India.

Let me point out a few contrasting things about these great actors barring the usual measurements which the critics have become sick of making.

In short – Mohanlal’s acting is so natural that there remains no act in it, that’s Mammootty’s weakness.

Whereas Mammootty’s characterization is too sharp and subtle that there remain no Mammootty in it, that’s Mohanlal’s weakness.

Before briefing, the evaluation is based on the great character roles donned by both actors, those ones both performed to fulfill the sensation of fans are neglected.

Considering such great roles, Mammootty has proved himself that with his method acting skills he could profoundly overcome his own presence in the character and has managed to exhibit maximum as the character himself.

At the same time Mohanlal leaves a stint of his identity in the characters he perform, he takes the character into him while Mammootty changes into the character, here Mammootty would preferably score a point or two ahead as finer portrayal would be his.

At the same time, the natural ability of Mohanlal to be more flexible to a wider range of characters than Mammootty would give him some bonus points here.

I personally take Mohanlal as a grant performer and Mammootty as one finest actor.

Fans of these actors are usually seen stupidly challenging each other over the looks, fighting skills and the flexibility to dance etc weighing as skills.

Acting is characterizing and conveying, it’s just another medium, next time check whom you see in the silver screen – if it’s a character and if you are hearing it from a character, that should be appreciated, no matter who dons it. — with Binshad Rahman and 7 others.
