It's 30th April already. I still feel like I just started my Foundation course. But, now I am done with it. Time really goes by pretty fast.
Anyway, watched Vazhthukal yesterday night.Man, the movie was slow and boring!!! Yuvan's music was not up to his standards.The movie, somehow I felt was not like a movie.It was fake. I mean, all the characters were 'acting', and we are not supposed to feel like they are acting,rite? The movie starts off by showing why Madhavan wants a good,understanding and caring wife. He stumbles upon Bhavana,who talks about the importance of family and bla bla bla on a TV show. And, as you can guess...Madhavan goes on a journey to woo Bhavana. The problem is that Bhavana's grandpa doesn't like love and doesn't allow it in his big, joint-family. So, the rest is about how Madhavan wins the family and marries her.
I wonder why Madhavan agreed to this movie at all. The whole movie looked unattached. And all those so-called romantic scenes between Madhavan and Bhavana were jaded and weird. Overall, I regretted watching the movie. If there's anyone planning to watch it...please think about it!!! By the way, according to a lot of them, no English words were used in the movie. I am not 100% sure, but I think I heard the word "balloon".
Anyway, that's all for now. Chao!

Finally.... my exams are over!!! One month of more time to watch all those movies on my list (a very long one!!!) and yes, to blog actively!
Dun wanna talk about the exams...they were just alright. Anyway, had a great time yesterday!!!
Thanks to everyone....the whole TD16....My class had organized a farewell/bbq party at one of our classmates place and it was totally awesome..minus some "adaapaaaavi" moments!!! (Fuyoh n Ni2 would understand)
Anyway, will post the photos and a more detailed explanation soon on the party...
Now, I was just listening to the songs from the soon-to-be released Vijay-Trisha movie, Kuruvi.
Not much of an exciting album, I would say. The songs are pretty much average, and my pick of the lot would be "Pallanadhu", which is fast and peppy! Kinda dissapointed, cuz I loved the songs in Ghilli....
Another thing...I watched the "Dasavatharam" trailer....was very very interesting...captivating to say the least...M not a big Kamal fan...but I do admit that he's probably one of the most talented actors Tamil Cinema has right now!!! This movie supposedly has him in 10 different roles...the trailer did not reveal much on what the movie's gonna be like, I mean the story...but, was successful to evoke my curiosity...because, you can see a lot of ancient kinda events going on... temples...elephants...and then high-tech action scenes too...So, kinda interesting...Hoping that the movie would be really good.
And, for those who are in the mood of watching some really sweet,funny and sentimental movie.... Go and watch "Santhosh Subramaniam"!!! The movie was simply awesome! Loved it...loved the songs...Ravi and Harini were good and in short, it's a not-to-miss movie!!!

Gtg now...chao!

Roja

Roja : A type of flower (Rose), Maniratnam's movie!!!

Yup, finally...I got to watch the movie!!!! I LOVE ASTRO!!!!!!! Astro just makes my day, just about everyday!!!!!! Thanks to 'Vellithirai', Ch 202 I got the chance to watch the movie!!!!
Roja is a '92 film by Maniratnam. I was always curious and pretty much interested in it. One main reason was the soul-captivating music by AR Rahman. Besides that, the theme of the movie. It's about the long standing 'fight' over Kashmir by India and Pakistan. The movie doesn't focus too much on this, but rather showcases the effects of it, Terrorism to be more precise. But, within this serious theme, the director weaved in a beautiful love story. It's not the usual, boy meets girl...falls in love kinda story...it's something more cute, I would say.
Anyway, I totally enjoyed the movie..right from the beginning till the end...it was just beautiful!
To start off with, Arvind Swamy (hero) was just superb. He looked good and was totally into the character of a husband who loves and misses the wife and at the same time, the ever patriotic Indian! Certain scenes, especially the dialogues between the militant and Arvind were amazing.
Next up, Madhubala... one talented actress who I have not watched much...Anyway, she was really good in this movie.Be it the affection towards the husband or even the confident she shows whenever a situation comes up hinting that the husband might have died....she was just superb! Loved the innocence, confidence and the bravery that she potrayed!
Music... need I say anything at all...Loved each and every song in the movie, esp. Kadhal Rojavae and Pudhu Vellai Mazhai!!! Kinda got irritated with the "Rukkumani" song though, I still don't get the relevance of the song and the choreography was just BAD!!!
Overall, the movie was simply wonderful...For those who have not watched it yet, please do ASAP!!!!! Ya, I know.... I would probably be the only one who missed this movie...anyway, seriously,watch it!!!
Now, I am just wondering if the shop I go to, to rent movies would have 'Bombay' with them...Have not watched it also.....Gotta watch it after my exams....
Gtg now btw, chao!

Roop Ki Chandni ( Moonlight of Beauty)

My previous post expressed my thought of relieve on how I have finally got back to blogging...But,I did not post anything after that....Frankly I was not in the position to post anything because of my classes.Had some extra classes since the finals are gearing up.

Now, back to blogging...hehe..
"Roop Ki Chandni" is a small phrase from "Main Agar Kahoon", a beautiful song from "Om Shanti Om". Thanks to one of my friend, I got 'crazy' about this song...and I really mean it.Even now, as I am typing , this song is being played...Really, it's really amazing.

Not only the audio, but the way they have picturised the song is also wonderful.As usual, it is as colourful as any Hindi songs but, the feel in it is just beautiful, to say the least! I am practically waiting for my holidays to watch this movie... :)

Anyway, watch the song below and Enjoy!!!
