Endhiran Hit or Flop

The Tamil Cinema audience has seen some sci-fi movies in the past, but it all were flops for instance Vikram[Kamal hassan], New[SJ Suriyah] are some of them. How could we expect 'Endhiran' to be hit?

Reason for the flop :
The audience were not that much sci-fi lovers
They were not ready to believe these gizmos. But how come the hollywood sci-fi are definately a hit in India? like 'Back to the future', 'Starwars', 'Independence Day', 'Matrix', 'Inception', 'Terminator', 'Robocop' and a never ending list. The reason I believe is that, they have given such a natural output that made us believe what we saw was real. Can the Tamil Industry Technicians do that? Can we bring such a natural output?

This is the real challenge?

The success of visual effects is that, it should not be seen or found out in the film. But the indian cinemas show the graphics part as graphics, its clearly identified like which is real and which is CG.

So this is a big challenge from the CG department. Next is the audience, does our Tamil audience ready to accept another Tamil Sci-Fi movie?

These are to be answered by 'Endhiran'.

Mistakes in Sivaji-The Boss
There were some minor mistakes in Sivaji too, but why did not dir. Shankar aware of it.
1. Car fight at Prathana : Rajini and Shreya were talking in a 'Toyota' SUV, but during the fight and while returning home with a damaged SUV, how could it be a 'Scorpio'

2. Murdering Sivaji Scene : Do we park our van on the RIGHT side of a highway when we go for a tea on the highway? Did you notice where the police have parked their van?

So hope these were carefully watched in 'Endhiran'

Gautham, the new challenger

After Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya's tremendous success, Gautham is into the next venture. He is an inspiring director.

Gautham Vasudev Menon's next directorial venture Nadunisi Naigal is in the final stages of shooting, his production house Photon Kathaas is also wrapping up the final schedule for "Veppam". We know that Gautham likes to do things differently.

Gautham has decided to release the audio for Nadunisi Naigal and Veppam on the same day, on the same stage. Now if you think that takes some guts to do it, read ahead. It is also rumored that Gautham is planning to release both the movies on the same day. Phew! Now if this happens, it will be one hectic day of his life for the producer and director Gautham.

KS RAVIKUMAR and MANMADHAN AMBU

Kamal Hassan and Ravikumar combination has already won all the times, 'Panchathandhiram, Thenali, Dasavatharam', hope 'Manmadha Ambu' will also join the line.

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.

Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Andre Braugher, Zoe Lister Jones, Yara Shahidi, Gaius Charles, Victor Slezak, Cassidy Hinkle, Daniel Olbrychski

Director: Phillip Noyce

Evelyn Salt the character are perpetually in motion and that's a good thing for its own sake and because it keeps audiences from dwelling on how unapologetically preposterous the plot in question is.

And really, who goes to summer action movies for cast-iron logic anyway? Or for plausible characters, for that matter? You go for brisk stunts expertly executed, for well-directed action that doesn't allow you to catch your breath and for one of the preeminent action stars of our time. Yes, that would be Angelina Jolie.

With what she does here on top of "Lara Craft: Tomb Raider," "Wanted" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Jolie has earned the right to be considered not a potent female action star but a potent action star period, end of story.

What makes her so good, and what is visible as she deftly navigates the unending silliness of "Salt," are traits that add up to a fierce commitment to action, a determination to make the role of a CIA agent who literally and metaphorically takes no prisoners as convincing as she can.

For one thing, although aided by stunt double Eunice Huthart, Jolie is athletic and fearless enough to do many of her own stunts, including nervy scenes of jumping from moving truck to moving truck (albeit done with the aid of cables and harnesses that were removed in post-production).

The actress is also expert at projecting the ice cold fury that makes "Salt's" fight scenes strong. Jolie's don't-mess-with-me fierceness is palpable, and it allows her to angrily throw herself into the martial arts action like she means every blow she strikes.

Her casting makes all the difference in a part that would be completely standard if a man played it. (One of the well-known ironies of Jolie's success in "Salt" is that screenwriter Kurt Wimmer originally wrote the role for a man.). It is the contrast between what cultural conditioning in general and Hollywood movies in particular tell us about women's roles and what Jolie can in fact accomplish that holds our interest here.

Madharasapattinam Review

Arya has performed well in the film madrasapattinam. He acts as a washer man in the film and emy jackson plays the role of a British lady. The main story is focused on the pair’s love. This story happens in the period of 1945-1947. The Director Vijay took care that the movie doesn’t get the label of a patriotic film and the amount of focus of the freedom struggle will be equal to that of main star cast love story. The story starts in Britain with a funeral where a old British lady is seen sad and later she is found to have some clot on the brain. She wishes to go to India to complete her uncompleted works.

The contemporary Chennai evokes periodic flashbacks in her memory and that’s how we meet a dhobi and wrestler Ilamparidhi, also called Paridhi (Arya), who lived in the pre-Independence period of India. Paridhi, from the dhobi (washer man) community, lives in Washermanpet area, and washes the clothes of the British people. Amy’s meeting with Paridhi coincides with his community’s fight against the government’s decision to build a Golf ground in the colony of dhobis. They love each other and her father comes to know about their love and orders his men to kill paridhi secretly and sends emy to delhi. But emy escapes from the train and comes to madras in search of paridhi. The rest is the climax of the film.

Velayutham - Vijay's next flick - ANOTHER TELUGU COPY?

Velayutham is going to be the 52nd film for Illayathalapathy Vijay. The film is going to be produced by Oscar Ravichandran and Jeyam Raja has been confirmed to be the director of the film Velayutham.

The film is expected to be a remake of the telugu film film which was done by Nagarjuna. The film was a success in telugu and so the team is confident of making Velayutham a success in Tamil Industry.

Remakes are a piece of cake for Vijay and Jeyam Raja as everybody knows it. Come on Vijay wake-up do something original man. Get some respect by doing original story movies. People will call you a 'Copier' machine. Why don't you change this. Jeyam Raja and Ravi are known for their telugu remakes.

So nothing special just ANOTHER COPY OF TELUGU MOVIE as usual.

Genelia will pair with Vijay in this film Velayutham and the story of the film is simple and it will be a action film. The hero will kill the bad guys and dons secretly and the person doing this good will be unknown. Later Genelia identifies the hero and names him Velayutham.

Vijay is not interested in killing the villains anymore and finally when he feels to return to his actual duties, the incidents in his life forces him to continue his work as Velayutham by killing the bad guys and dons.

We have seen a lot of dons and this also the usual movie of Vijay killing the bad guys. We already saw this is 'Pokiri' Vijay this will spoil your name to the core. If this is true, please do some useful movie.

3 Idiots movie Tamil remake

Dir. Shankar has planned to remake '3 Idiot' in Tamil and Telugu, star cast would be Vijay, Madhavan and Simbhu. Music score will be done by Yuvan Shankar Raja as A.R.Rahman is very busy with 'Jai Ho' Concert all around the world.

Shankar already had an non-Rahmanic experience, I still don't understand why he wants to do it again. It is a remake of a Hindi - Aamir Khan film, so the audience will be definitely less and even if its a non-Rahmanic Shankar movie then we cannot expect much response. Can vijay do more than Aamir Khan? Let's wait for it.

Endhiran Audio launch

Endhiran Audio will be launched at Malaysia, the stars to attend are A.R.Rahman, Shankar, Rajini and Kamal are the top ones.
