Dhoom 3. Sigh !

Image
Mindless, silly and a bad bad rip off. Prestige, fast and the furious franchise, on behalf of all the Indians, i apologize for this rip off. Aamir, you only do one movie a year. So why did you do this one ? It was very disappointing, from your entry to the end. And the scenes were you rode a motorcycle over the rope. Sigh ! I don’t have anything else to tell. And Jr. Bachchan, What are the walls made of better yet what is that auto made off ? It goes through walls with so much ease. Rohit Shetty, You got competition, at least u say its brainless comedy in the beginning these ppl gave us hopes for a very thrilling crime Story and they give us this action to go with it. *facepalm* Katrina is hot as always. That was her whole thing, to be hot, to be in two songs and a couple of other shots. That was the role of the leading lady. Malang was fantastic and that is one of the few good things in the movie. The cinematography was brilliant. The second half starts with love str

Thira - A beautiful wave.

To watch the movie, observe it and write all the positives and negatives as the movie goes on, that was the plan I had in my mind when I got in for Thira at Escape cinemas, Chennai. But Vineeth Sreenivasan had other plans, to keep me on the edge of my seat. I was literally on the edge of the seat when the movie reached its interval. There was only one question going through my mind at that time, how could he transform, transform from the director who gave us a cute romantic story and give us such a mind boggling thriller. Thira was that, a thriller, one of its kinds, I cannot remember another movie from our industry that has taken up such an issue other than maybe Calcutta News. But Calcutta News lacked something in my view, but Thira, was complete. Shobhana, what a way to make a comeback. No need of countless posters or paper articles to make a grand comeback, a great role like this would do. What more need i say about her acting. Dhyan Sreenivasan, you just made a dream debut,

A wonderful journey to go on- North 24 kaatham

Some movies just make you want to write some good words about them and this road movie by Anil Radhakrishnan Menon is one such movie. What makes the movie special ? To start with, it’s a road movie, Yes i know NPCB was one too. But both are of different classes. One is about a couple of friends going on a road trip to find the answers for life and to win one of the friends girlfriend back but this movie starts off as a story of a clean freak who just lives for himself and no one else. And the transformation of that clean freak to a normal, rather an extra ordinary person is how the story goes on. In a more poetic way, the way in which a butterfly breaks from its cocoon and becomes free, that explains the state of the protagonist in the movie. Don’t take my writings in the wrong way and write this off as a serious movie. Even being a sensible movie this gives us some jovial and light hearted scenes. Sreenath Bhasi once again proves that he is a delight to be watched on screen , hi

I don’t review all the movies I see, but some movies make us think, those movies should be reviewed. They make us think, they make us think after the movie finishes. In this case, I didn’t want to review the movie while I was watching it nor did I want to do it right after the movie got over, this decision got into my head after quite some time. I was surprised to see that this movie got me thinking , that too hours after I left the theatre. Yes I’m talking about one of the most “controversial”(I don’t have a clue why ?) movie of the recent time, the exploding communist movie of Murali Gopi-Arun Kumar-Indrajith trio Left Right Left. Talking about the movie technically, a well crafted script by Murali Gopi, well timed editing by the director himself and the strong performances of Lena, Murali Gopi, Indrajith and Hareesh Peradi made the movie a beautiful watch for me. The pointed and well spoken dialogues of each characters are indeed a big plus point for the movie. I’m no person con

Amen !

I wasn't sure, Yes ! the idea was fresh, the presentation was new, the actors were good ! But i had my doubts, should i do a review on this movie ? How would i review it ? A must watch or A don't bother watching it . It was hard for me to not come to a verdict, but that was before the climax. The climax literally blew me away. Woah ! I did not see that one coming. The movie started on a very high and appealing note. I was excited. But then it became kind of lagging, the story wanted that, but still, i wish there was some way the director could have made it more fast paced and by the ending i felt as if the movie was another one of those average mallu flicks with just the presentation changed. I have never been this wrong. It was one of those heart whelming movies i have seen in near future. A kind of movie that makes you leave with a smile on your face. A movie that makes you a part of the movie. Fahad Fasil has yet again proved that he is an actor for the future. Indrajith

Silhouette Photography ! Its all about the timing :)

Image
A  silhouette  is the image of a person, an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single colour, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject.  As far as i'm concerned this is one of the easiest photography techniques. It doesn't depend on the camera, moreover it depends mainly on the time and the object/person in the picture. As always the best time to take a silhouette picture is half an hour before or after the sunset. Using less light by using a high aperture and faster shutter speed. And make sure you get the contrast even without editing.This is my humble attempt at this technique. Enjoy clicking :) tc ! 

Camera Topple Photography ! A play with lights.

Yes a new method indeed, a part of artistic photography i must say. Slow shutter speed, a lot of lights and a little luck will definitely get you this. 

Django Unchained - Tarantino too !

Image
Django unchained !  Definitely one of the few good movies i have seen in recent times, its set in the olden times, just 2 years before the civil war, that's when the movies plot starts. The introduction of Christoper Waltz has been in a very classy way, a dentist to a bounty hunter well i didn't see that coming, i'm kidding i obviously saw it , it was a Quentin Tarantino movie, and like all Tarantino movies, this one too has a lot of blood spill, action and classy dialogues. No wonder it won the Oscars for original screenplay. Same goes for Christopher waltz too. Now back to the plot, after waltz is introduced in a much classy way and he rescues Jamie Foxx, for finding a couple of bad ass guys. So he can shoot them down and get some bounty in return for which, Foxx(Django) will be a free man. They do it in a very elegant way. Then they kind of team up, as partners, shoots down a couple of other bad guys. And then goes in search of Foxxs lost girlfriend/wife Kerry Washingto

Its been so long. When i first wrote this blog, i wanted to make it huge as in you know this was a way of getting to talk to people , sharing your ideas, later on there reached a point where i didn't have anything to share to the people. But now with my new found love, i may have something to share, "photography". Let me warn you in the starting itself. Its just not gonna be a photographic page, its gonna have lot of other stuff too. I mean photography is just a way of expressing and sharing. Sometimes it requires a little of writing too. I was to open up a facebook page too but that is just not worth it. As in, i'm not that awesome. My pics are of an amateur, with that in mind, i would like you to look into my pics. And yes you may have movie reviews in between, articles and if i ever jot down something outstanding maybe poem , yh that too. :P Hopefully someones gonna read this and look up to my pics , my writings and hopefully somewhere, someday i'll make a dif
