Movie Review on Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya - Sweet Musical Romantic Film

This is a Sweet Musical Romantic Film.



Movie Review: Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya
Banner: Escape Artists Motion Pictures, R.S. Infotainment
Production: Madhan, Ganesh Kumar, Jayaram
Direction: Gowtham Vasudev Menon
Star-casts: Silambarasan, Trisha, Uma Padmanabhan
Music: A.R. Rahman
Cinematography: Manoj Paramahamsa
Editing: Anthony

Problems created by lovers among themselves are one thing while problems created by others to these lovers are another thing. But what happens if both these takes place in a romance. Simbhu frequently asks," Why should I love Jessie when there are so many other girls". This question may be asked by many youngsters or their friends in real life. The amazing romance, confusions and the pain has been narrated in a beautiful way.

Simbhu dons the role of Karthik. He who completes engineering aspires to become an assistant film director. Simbhu goes as a tenant to a house whose owner is the father of the Malayalee girl Jessie. Trisha who dons the role of Jessie works in Infosys. Karthik seeing Jessie loses his heart to her. At one point he decides that his love will not work out and tries to at least try to become a friend of Jessie. This friendship ultimately turns out to be love. But Jessie gets scared and confused about her parents. She confuses Karthik also and finally deiced to settle with the person arranged by her family. Whether Karthi and Jessie reunite is the rest of the story to be seen on the silver screen.

Simbhu as Karthik is not a boy who can show tricks by hand. His maturity can be well seen in this film. Let it be when he falls in instant love with Jessie or the way he wanders to make his love a success are really captivating. In a scene he follows Jessie to KFC. When he comes near Jessie, she asks whether he was following her. He in turn says that she is following him. Jessie says her office is here. He in turn says that KFC is also here. He watches Jessie walking. When the salesman asks for order, Simbhu asks the bearer not to disturb him because he wants to watch her until he goes. He is almost the mouth piece of today youngsters. His voice modulation is really superb. He captivates the hearts of the audience when he speaks to Jessie about her saying that there is a girl in his heart. This film has taken Simbhu to another phase in his career.

Trisha is cute and exceptionally captured the hearts of the audience. Her mischievous look and her body language are really incredible. In some of the sequences it can visibly seen that there were stiff competition where Simbhu and Trisha are in dialogues in the climax sequences.The dialogues in the film are very realistic and Gowtham has given Simbhu a good scope to bring out his hidden acting talents.

There is no need to speak much about A R Rahman's music. The songs of this film have already become popular. The lead guitar right from the beginning journeys throughout the film with us. The songs Omana Penne and Hosanna are fantastic. Rahman has once again ruled his dynasty with elegance. It definitely makes one to hum the songs while coming out of the theatres.

There are no words to describe the camera work of Manoj. He had earlier shown his coolness in the film Eeram. He had excelled in this film.

On the whole Gowtham Vasudev Menon has given a cute and sweet musical romantic film.

My Name Is Khan looses to 3 Idiots

This is a a piece of news which will hurt the fans of Shahrukh Khan. King Khan has lost it out to the perfectionist Aamir Khan once again. Shahrukh's My Name Is Khan which had got a bombastic opening opening in it's first week has lost grip over the Box Office in it's second week and seems to be no match for Aamir's 3 Idiots. My Name Is Khan has seen a steep fall in the second week with occupancy falling as much as 60% to 80%.
The movie had started off well thanks to the controversy created by the Shiv Sena over Shahrukh's support to the Pakistani players in the IPL. Fox Star India which is distributing the movie was excited after the movie had a better start than 3 Idiots. But My Name Is Khan seems to have lost the momentum having grossed Rs. 150 Crores in the second week compared to Rs. 240 Crores , 3 Idiots grossed in the first 10 days.


This is not the first time that Shahrukh has emerged No. 2 in the race. In 2008 too Shahrukh's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was going well but when Aamir's Ghajini released the movie found tough to breathe. Ghajini had gone on to establish records at the Box Office which was incidentally broken by Aamir starer 3 Idiots. Now having lost two consecutive rounds to Aamir, Shahrukh will find it tough to keep his 'Baadshah of Bollywood' tag.

Will ‘Hurt Locker’ have an ending like ‘Brokeback’?

With wins at the Producers Guild, Directors Guild, Writers Guild, and British Academy Awards, “The “Hurt Locker” ” has clearly been racking up the major pre-Oscar prizes in the last month.
In fact, with the exception of a couple big-ticket losses at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards, Kathryn Bigelow’s film has nearly accomplished the same sweep that “Slumdog Millionaire” pulled off last year. By that yardstick, the film seems like a sure thing to win the Best Picture Oscar on March 7, particularly because those two high-profile losses came at the hands of two different films (“Avatar” at the Globes, “Inglourious Basterds” at SAG) rather than one.
But then I started looking at all ““Brokeback”  Mountain’s” pre-Oscar record from four years ago and I found some striking similarities. 
“Brokeback” managed the rare feat of winning Best Picture and Best Director at both the New York and Los Angeles film critics awards; so did ““Hurt Locker.” “Brokeback” also picked up those two big prizes at the Broadcast Film Critics Awards; so did “Hurt Locker.” “Brokeback” won the trifecta of PGA, DGA, and WGA trophies; so did “Hurt Locker.” “Brokeback” won 4 BAFTAs, including Best Film, Director, and Screenplay; “Hurt Locker” picked up 6 awards, including Best Film, Director, and Screenplay. And of course, “Brokeback” lost the SAG cast award, and so did “Hurt Locker.” (The main difference between the two films’ tallies is that “Brokeback” did win four Globes, including Best Drama and Best Director, while “Hurt Locker”  went 0 for 3.)
All of this is on my mind right now because we’re about to put our Oscar Odds issue to bed (it’ll be on stands this Friday), and it’s really making me think twice about my prediction that The “Hurt Locker”  will emerge victorious on March 7.
There’s still a distinct possibility that “Hurt Locker”  will mirror “Brokeback”  yet again and win three Oscars (let’s say Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing) but lose the big one to a more easily-digestible rival, in this case “Avatar.” 
But I’m swayed by the argument (best articulated by Steve Pond over at The Wrap) that even if “Avatar” scores the most No. 1 votes, The “Hurt Locker”  is likely to perform better in subsequent rounds of voting, since Bigelow’s film may have more No. 2 and No. 3 rankings than “Avatar” will. So, fully knowing that I may end up being wrong, I’m sticking with The “Hurt Locker”.

"Avatar" Vs "Heart Locker" hard contest

Britain's love of the underdog triumphed Sunday as intimate war drama "The Hurt Locker" beat 3D spectacular "Avatar" to take six prizes, including best picture, at the British Academy Film Awards.
Kathryn Bigelow won the best-director battle with "Avatar"'s James Cameron, her ex-husband, for her intense depiction of a bomb-disposal squad in Iraq.
"It means so much that this film seems to be touching people's hearts and minds," Bigelow said. 
Both films had eight nominations for the British awards, considered an indicator of possible success at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles next month. "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" each has nine Oscar nominations.
"The Hurt Locker" also took British prizes for original screenplay cinematography, editing and sound.
"Avatar" won awards for production design and visual effects for its vivid vision of a distant moon populated by a blue-skinned species called the Na'vi.
"Hurt Locker" screenwriter Mark Boal dedicated the best-film prize to the hope of peace "and bringing the boys and girls back home."
Bigelow also paid tribute to soldiers serving in Iraq, and said the goal of the film was "putting a bit of a spotlight on a very, very difficult situation."
"I hope that in some small way this film can begin a debate ... and bring closure to this conflict," she said.

David vs. Goliath?

The "Avatar"/"Hurt Locker" battle initially seemed like a David-and-Goliath story. Cameron's last feature, "Titanic," won 11 Oscars, including picture and director. "Avatar" is a global phenomenon that has taken more than $2 billion at the box office.
"Hurt Locker" has made about a hundredth that much.
"It did not seem like a slam-dunk commercial proposition," said Boal, who thanked Bigelow and the cast for making "an unpopular story about an unpopular war."
Homegrown British talent did not go home empty-handed. Rising star Carey Mulligan was named best actress for playing a precocious teenager in 1960s London in "An Education."
Colin Firth was named best actor for his performance as a bereaved Englishman in California in Tom Ford's "A Single Man."
Firth said he almost declined the award-winning role, which has also earned him an Oscar nomination. He said he had been about to turn it down by e-mail "when someone came to repair my fridge." He never sent the e-mail.
"I would like to thank the fridge guy," Firth said. 
Firth said he had emerged from working with fashion designer-turned-director Ford "better groomed, more fragrant and more nominated than one has ever been before."
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, already a hot Oscar favorite, won the supporting actor prize for his turn as a chilling, charming Nazi colonel in "Inglourious Basterds." The supporting actress award went to Mo'nique for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."
Director Duncan Jones took the award for best British debut for his lost-in-space drama "Moon."
A tearful Jones, whose father is musician David Bowie, said it had taken him a long time to figure out what he wanted to do with his life.
"Finally, I think I've found what I love doing," he said. 

Situation: ‘Jersey Shore 2’ is best series ever

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is confident that “Jersey Shore’s” second season won’t disappoint fans of the hit MTV reality show.
“Season 1 was the best reality show in history,” he told the Chicago Tribune. “Season 2 may be the best series ever. It’s going to be legendary.”
And The Situation, whose catchphrases helped make the MTV show a household name, said he’s not preparing any material in advance for the upcoming season. 
“I don’t save material,” he said. “That’s called being on the spot.”
As for what the future holds for the cast, he wasn’t sure if Ronnie Magro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola were still dating.
“I think they broke up — I have no clue,” he said.
According to a previous report from TMZ, the volatile couple split after the taping of the series’ reunion show on January 21, but just days later, co-star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi told Us Weekly that the pair had gotten back together.
“You never know with them,” Snooki said at the time.
But The Situation told the Tribune that he would be front and center when the show returned no matter what’s going on with his castmates.
“I run that house,” he said. “[Ronnie and Sammi] are the cartoon section. I’m the front page.”

Ryan Phillippe, Abbie Cornish break up-Actress moves out of shared home; couple met during 2006 film shoot


It's over between actress Abbie Cornish and boyfriend Ryan Phillippe, her spokesperson confirms to e-celebrity exclusively.
"Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home," the rep tells e-celebrity. On Sunday, the actress was spotted removing her belongings from the house she shared with Phillippe while he visited a friend with children Ava and Deacon.
The split follows months of tabloid speculation that Phillippe has been unfaithful to Cornish — regularly hitting the nightclubs and being linked to other women. When asked about the cause of the break-up and whether Phillippe cheated on Cornish, her rep replied, "No comment."

ornish, 27, and Phillippe, 35, met in 2006 on the set of the film, "Stop-Loss," and survived intense media scrutiny following Phillippe’s divorce from Reese Witherspoon. Cornish has been in Vancouver for the last seven months shooting the film "Sucker Punch."
Reps for Phillippe could not be reached for comment.
