Dabangg Trailer

Saw Dabangg trailer today. Interest provoking indeed. Salman looks so cool and handsome with dress on :P   img alt="" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('73ca7d40-adba-4deb-bae1-292812b55ab4'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "";" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6jty-qfFlsJxbJvn8yjS9ep-DRVF7amLej_adi5ffSfIADmxzdTXO1fjiRbg13kq3oie_SBir8rh4yrHOOzn6vxLzXyUPYZq4ynpZSpxoa3Skc1i-UqJKYWQ9E9pH-YMIBDYK42LTYtLk/?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none">...

Aisha movie review

Genre: Romantic Comedy Director: Rajshree Ohja Cast: Abhay Deol, Sonam Kapoor, Ira Dubey, Cyrus, Amrita Puri, Lisa Haydon Storyline: Trio of jobless young Delhi girls going about finding their life partners. Bottom line: Run as fast as possible in the opposite direction – not even worthy to be watched in pirated DVD The most shallow movie that I had the misfortune of having to watch. Actually dozed off midway through the movie. Had to watch those part again to write the review.. GRRRRRRRR. As the tagline of the movie says, its a total confusion. For someone who didn’t know better, the movie would only give an impression that Delhi girls have nothing worthwhile to do except bumping at beaus at various parties, dancing and...

Inidhu Inidhu Movie Review

Genre: Drama, College Director: K.V.Guhan Cast: Narayan (Tyson), Sonia (Shravs), Arun Iswaran (Sidhu), Reshmi Menon (Madhu), Vimal (Vimal), Bennas (Appu), Sharan Sharma (Shankar), GiaUmar(Sangeetha), Sunny Sawrav (Sanny Balboa), Abhishek (Arjun), Krishna (Sanjay), Ajay (Ajay) Storyline: College life Bottomline: This seems to be the director’s fantasy college. Unrealistic and Hollow After movies like Mozhi and Vellithirai, expectations are very high when Prakash Raj produces a movie. This movie did nothing to even get close to 1% of the expectation. The film is a remake of the Telugu movie “Happy Days”. It doesn’t even qualify to be stated in the same breath as the original version say my friends who had watched Happy Days....

Naan Mahaan Illai Review

Genre: Action Director: Suseendran Cast: Karthi, Kajol Agarwal Storyline: A middle class young man who turns violent to avenge Bottomline: A fresh makeup for an old idea. Apt casting and brisk screenplay are the main strength of this movie. As the title goes to say, Karthi (Jeeva) is not a homely, decent boy. It seems to be Karthi’s forte to look cool in the not-so-good boy role. The film starts off with a group of adolescent boys smoking pot and committing a murder for their lust. Little would one imagine that the film could be such fun with an opening scene like this. Karthi is a carefree youth who as usual has parents who dote on them. It is amazing that both of them don’t mind him being jobless. Anyways, he meets Kajol Agarwal (Priya) at a marriage and its love at first sight. Sadly as in any action movie, the heroine in this movie is also pea-brained and comes just for 4 scenes and the songs. There are quite a few interesting light-hearted scenes like the one in which Karthi and his friend go for collections...

Pingback and Trackback for blogger

http://mymindstalk.blogspot.com/2010/08/pingback-and-trackback-for-blogger.htmlI have spent the whole day today trying to find how I could do a trackback/pingback from my blogger account. Still haven’t found anything that I can use. I thought I would use haloscan, but it is not free anymore. I tried installing GreaseMonkey along with this script - but even that didn’t work. Is there any way we can do that in Blogger...

Naan Mahan Illai Music review

Naan Mahan Alla is yet another hit album by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The songs are refreshing and melodious. This album has 4 original tracks and 1 remix track of one of its own original tracks. ‘Va Va Nilava Pudichi’ has good lyrics with matching music and leaves you humming after listening to it once. “Iragai Pole” is a classic Yuvan refreshing number – a good melody even though there is nothing admirable about the lyric. “Oru Maalai Neram” is another good number from the album. The “Thaeivam Illai” song has such exceptional lyric that the music is outweighed by the lyrics. The last track is the remix of “Va va nilava” with chennai beats to it. Overall a not-bad-at-all album and yes I would recommend buying if you don’t grumble about...

Inidhu Inidhu Music Review

Inidhu Inidhu is a remake of the Telugu Hit “Happy Days” produced by Prakash Raj. The music was released on the Friendship Day. Music for this album is composed by debutant music director Micky.J.Meyer. In all there are 7 songs and I must say the album is actually nice. Vairamuthu proves yet again why he is the best in the business. The lyrics of all the 5 songs that Vairamuthu has written are very interesting, intelligent and meaningful. In fact in some cases (Ammakale Appakale, Kalloori Thaye) the music doesn’t seem to live up to the lyric standard. Na.Muthukumar has penned the other 2 songs which are also lyrically good (unlike his fiasco in Sindhu Samaveli). “Inbam ethirile” is definitely a song that you might want to your collection for a long drive. “Valkai oru” song is worthy to be heard many times for the quality of lyrics. “Kodi Kannavu Kannil” would probably be the only average song in the album but is definitely better than most of the songs that come out these days.The album is worthy of a buy. I’d rate...

Sindhu Samaveli Music Review

Sindhu Samaveli is one of the new music tracks that has been released recently. The music for this album is scored by Sundar C.Babu and lyrics by Na.Muthukumar. I would actually say this album was a disappointment esp because I was expecting something that would beat Anjaathe in music and also was looking forward to hearing some good refreshing lyrics. But Na.Muthukumar seems to have lost his marbles after he finished writing “Ovvoru manithan nenjum”song. The others are just collage of the usual lyrics that we hear all the time. The “Thappu Thanda” started with good beats but again it just didn’t make an impression. The lyrics made me compare that with a better version of the same thoughts in “Sirichi Sirichi vandha cheena thana”...

Endhiran Music Review

Album: Endhiran (ROBO) Music Director: A. R. Rahman As with any A.R.Rahman album, the songs of Endhiran grow on you as you listen to them. Click here to listen to Endhiran music online and to download Endhiran songs for free ‘Kadal Anukkal’ is the best with Shreya Ghoshal crooning to sooth the soul. The melody is very good. ‘Boom Boom’ and ‘Arima Arima’ are the pacey tuned songs with good techno music. A.R.Rahman has the tribal fusion done in the ‘Kilimanjaro’ song. ‘Irumbile oru Idhayam’ makes you move your body – an absolute A.R.Rahman stamp song. The Rap part is awesome! Listen to the voice of A.R.Rahman’s daughter Khatija in ‘Puthiya Manitha’.Vairamuthu proves yet again why he is the best in the industry in this song. ‘Chitti...

Kalavaani

Genre: DramaDirector: SargunamCast: Vimal, Oviya, Saranya, Ilavarasu, Soori, Kanja karupuStoryline: Irresponsible village boy loves school girl, Boy enemies with girl’s brother, Boy and girl elope to marry and happy ending Bottomline: One of the best – if not the best film of the yearClick here to see kalavaani movie online Wow! Recently saw this movie, online of course.. but would definitely have seen it in theaters had I been in India. It was a such a refreshingly entertaining movie. When there is a debutant director around the corner, it will be either a lot of bloodshed rat-eat-rat story (where nowadays everyone dies in the end) or it would be no plot-total nonsense movie with a lot of skin show to pull the crowd or just simply...

Power Outage

We had a power outage in our apartment today (yes in US!!) for around 4 hrs. I still don’t know if it was an outage local only to our apartment or for the entire block… Since power outages are quite normal from where I come from (Chennai), I was simply waiting for the power to come back. But after 4 hrs, I thought that I’d call and inform. I was amazed by the kind of service esp this being a Sunday. There was a request created with a request number and they even offered a curtsey walkup call for any day in the week!! I could just not help comparing how power outage reporting happens in my place… Lets imagine I have a power outage in chennai, this is how my conversation would be: Note: I must call within the first 5-10 mins to have the phone answered (else the intelligent people at the substation would place the receiver down!!)Me: Sir there is no power in xyznagar.Substation technician (SST) : which area?Me: xyznagar, abc streetSST: Lineman is working. Power will come Me: When is the power expected to be back?SST:...
