Poojai - Music Review

-
Poojai is Tamil film featuring Vishal and Shruti Hassan, elder daughter of Actor Kamal Hassan. Vishal has maintained his position among the top 5 young heroes in the Tamil Film Industry and most of his films have been hits. This film is being produced by Vishal himself like some of his earlier movies and is directed by Hari who has earlier given super commercial hits like Vengai. Hari's scripts are usually racy and fast, and adopts a surprise twist and turn in most of the critical sequences. Vishal  had a good box office release with his recent release "Naan Sigappu Manithan" and the expectations from him are quite high from this film too. Shruti is back in Tamil Cinema after a long hiatus, almost after three years. She has been choosing her projects carefully and wish her to do well. Sarathraj sports a bald look in the film and is suppsoed to have a critical role and is supported by Radhika who now moves to Cinema after her successful TV serial Vani Rani. Kausalya and Prathap Pothen also have important roles while Rekha plays the role of Vishal's mother in the film.


Vishal-Hari-Yuvan combo is back again after 7 years, when they made "Thamirabarani" which went on to be a blockbuster with its tier-2 town background. Thhis movie has six songs, all penned by Na. Muthukumar. Yuvan, as usual has sung one song and has some fresh voices as well. Ippadiye, sung by Rahul Nambiar and Mili Nair is a soft number, seemingly a romantic one. Soda Bottle, sung by Yazin, Anthony Dasan and Sathyan seems like a boys' day-out number, perhaps an opening song too and is sure to appeal to youngsters and front-row fans. Odi Odi by Palakkad Sriram is a fast number, perhaps showing the turning point in the movie. Verarum sung by Karthik and Pooja is another slow number, but foot tapping rhythm. Uyire, sung by Yuvan sounds more like a love-distress number.

Over all, the songs are quite commercial with some of Yuvan's past glimpses but 2-3 songs would certainly hit the top of the charts atleast until the movie is released and shortly thereafter. Here is the link for the album:

We expect this film to be a box office hit this Diwali and wish the team and crew good luck.

The cult of Chandramukhi

The distance from Koramangala to RT Nagar in Bangalore is around 14 Kms over 25 mins at that time of the day, rather night. But the bike ride felt eternal. My skin under the full sleeves’ shirt was shivering like never before. My closest experience to something similar was during the early 1980s when I watched “My Dear Kuttichathan” at Devi Theatre in Chennai. Be it a graphically shot snake coming out of a chandelier or the evil-filled Raja Vettaiyan walking with his sticks screaming “Laka Laka Laka” or the Rajapalayam Dogs barking fiercely and of course the extraordinary eye movements of the ecstatic Chandramukhi showing off her jewels, the entire movie was a bit on the edge when I watched it for the first time on this day, 15 years back. I feel the same every time I watch this film till now – around 50+ times during the past 180 months. The scary ride was because I was returning back from PVR at Forum Mall after watching First Day Night Show and Bangalore’s lonely roads were infamous

I simply happened to see the Trailer and was fascinated with the mere thought of listening to a Bengali family’s tales for over 2 hours and decided to watch the film. Having worked in the sweet city, having mishit doi and a kathi roll for dinner with my mere savings for a year, I felt at ease living in the city of join 20 years back. I have made some friends for life and still in touch with many but have never seen a full-fledged movie ever. This was the chance. And in less than 1 year, my colleagues at work ensured I learnt conversational Bangla. So the movie’s trailer was intriguing enough for me to catch up last Sunday.  Switzerland – yes, that’s the movie name is about a family of four, a couple and their two little daughters who dream of travelling to the European country. Rumi (Rukmini Maitra) is a school teacher in downtown Kolkata and teaches Geography. Shibu (Abir Chatterjee)  is a salesman at a Mahindra dealership and has a love marriage, the bride being from a very rich fami
