This movie is directed by a debutant,who excelled in delivering a good product at the end,
though there are some cinematic experiences,,,the movie shows, village customs and traditions and innocent love story.
Story,,,,,,Its a movie based on kabadi........while including all the commercial elements adding to the main theme,,,though its a sports movie .....it does not show kabadi all through run time....the love story is pretty good....and comedy is good ..........performances are too good from everyone.....................
the main strenght of the movie is screen play..........and the direction.......though there are no recognized faces in the movie......it never bores you or tests you..........every scene is etched well and the adequate performances helped movie.........ending of the movie seemed a bit abrupt.....but i got used to those kind of ending's which are mainly specific to tamilians.
This is a genuine hit movie in 2009 in tamil..........made on a small budget..........garnered profits all over...........dont miss it ......as there only few movies that are making mark at the box office.......so its definetely worth a watch

12B(Tamil)
Its an old tamil movie directed by late jeeva,this movie is having an intresting concept as well good start cast and good music by harris jayaraj.
story::::::::This is a story of a guy runs parallely ,showing what happens if he cathces a bus called 12b on his way to an interview and what happens if he doesn't.Its an intresting premise to begin a story.even the love stories are written good.
the movie lacks good screenplay, i think jeeva may be new to direction at that point,we can see ,so many scenes which can be dealt better,hero shaam who looks cute and had good screen presence but not that effective while delivering the performance,,,simran and jyothika are highlights of the film,,,as well as music..........good story spoiled by screen play and the direction.............if we miss first 15 minutes you cant understand whats going on, in the movie.
If you want see different kinda love story ,give a try ,not a bad one,,,but not a good one also....

Recession Hitting Hard
Recession is hitting hard........all people surounding me are facing that pinch......this in turn made me busy........though i am a movie freak...........i am not getting enough time in my hand ,to see couple of movies on the week end............the monetary tensions and adjustments piling up day by day.........though i am making good rotation of money.....i was unable to settle the amounts .........its mainly because the debts and commitments increasing............though they are not for my personal intrest..........most of them are related to my relations.........thats my parents ,bro...etc,,etc..i am not even getting few hours of time to write posts................though government claims economy is getting better,,,,but i am not seeing that.............be prepared i think it will still become worse...........................NEVER LOOSE HOPE.....

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
My Reaction::::Steven speilberg is a legend,there is a vast difference in the genre of movies he has directed.this is yet another masterpiece from the legend.
Plot..........After learning that Private Ryans three brothers have all died in the war, the government attempts to locate him to send him home. The problem is they don't know if he is dead or alive behind enemy lines.So they send a team to find the remaining ryan and send back to her mother.this forms the main crust of the movie.........
Performances of Cast and crew::::::::all the performances are top notch..........tom hanks ,matt,vin diesel,etc etc each and every one just looked perfect in the role,,,,,the whole credit of the movie should be given to spielberg.........each and every shot is so realistic and you will feel that you reallly saw world war II ...........there are lot of scenes in the movie where action is combined with drama,,,,,,,,,,both runs on the same path........thats the success point of the film......emotions are perfectly blended in the movie..........
Highlights::::::
First 25 minutes of the movie is an epic of sorts,,,,,the screenplay is simply superb..........though its a 3:30 min movie ,,you never recognize when the movie is over........the death scene of vin diesel...............where tom hanks secretly cries...........and last 30 minutes are main highlights of the movie.
Tailpiece:::::::Spielberg recieved an oscar for this movie as a director .........it collected 480 million approximately,,,,,,,, made with a budget of 90 million dollars

Dev D(Hindi)
This movie represents new generation of classic devdas,i liked the movie a lot,,,,
the director anurag khasyap showed whats happening in today's youth...........this is strictly for adults,,,,,,,,,,,
story is same as devdas classic with today's intrepetation........its a movie with so many adult jokes and adult stuff......even many dialogues are realistic,,,,,,,,,abhay deol rocked in the main lead role,,,,,,,,its a truely director based movie .....though we see strong performances,,,,,,,,but in each and every scene we will notice mainly the lighting backgroung.........taking of the scene and background score...............so the above mentioned elements totally dominated the performances......
paroo is superb.........she looks gorgious ,,,,the second lead is okay but gave a good performance.......today's generation is exactly the same way as shown in the movie,,,,,may be they dont get addicted to bad stuff because of love.......but they are doing all other stuff which is shown in the movie..............
so if you want a realistic and out of box stuff......dont miss it..........if you are masala or routine movie lover.......please avoid it

Some Things Are not in OUR CONTROL
I am saying this because i recently faced an incident which made me think like this,last saturday night me and my friend went outside at 10 40 pm to grab something to eat,,,we expected atleast few fast food centers would be opened,,,but to our surprise everything is closed,,at last we saw Domino's where its luminating its opened and we went there and parked our car.,,,,heard a small sound when getting down from the car...thought some one placed some thing like some beer bottle etc... in the parking lot that might hit the car bumper........but when i reversed car to place it in the next slot of the parking lot ,heard same sound again ...when i saw what happened there ...,,,to our surprise.............the whole bumper came out in the front end of the car......as a result i need to pay $1000 to get rid of this issue,,,,,,,,because i am not the owner of the car..........
i know these kind of things happens in life.....but it became so hard for me to digest this fact......i know it will take some time to sink this incident....just in a matter of few seconds....that too i did not do anything absurd or crazy........this incident made me think alot .....but slowly coming out of this .........finally understood that somethings are not in our control'''''''..................................................The most irritating is though dominos is displaying its opened when we went near to the entrance they said they are closed.........so finally we did not eat anything went back home and ate chapathi with little hummus and yogurt.........this shows that we came outside at that moment to just get this wastage of money incident...........I strongly believe that everything in life happens,,,,has a strong reason related to it ..........so should see what this leads to...........

Obstacles In LiFE
Rather than success,,,,,,,,,i feel failures and obstacles are so important in life.......if you keep on winning it does not mean that there is no one to beat you............but it says that you are not taking up a challenging task..............for example let us keep this way ............if you keep on winning .........then you will miss that,,,, taste of success at some point of time..........think of life where you dont have any problems............surely you will get bored with in hours..........there should be some tension in life always ........which helps you become stronger..................its part of life to have debts,,,,,,,loose a friend........loose money.......loose love or your girl........loose dear ones....loose a job...........but these things should not deter your character,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,learn ...learn....learn.....life should be a learning experience at each part of life......never feel of things which you have lost in the past..........dont make your present worse by thinking of past and not working for future.............best thing is work with vengence to the past with the help of your present making future more productive............
Keep Your SPIRIT High
I know its difficult to be on high spirits all the time,,,,,,,,but if you believe that you are capable of doing a particular task or if you see that you have that particular thing in you ,,,,,,then try to stick to it........what happens at the most if you stick to it is..........i think you will miss some lively things which everyone does in common......but at the end those things which you missed will not bother you much because here you are striving or fighting in life for a thing that you strongly believe............if you dream a same thing many times.............it means you are so desperate in owning that particular thing.....just give a try to it...........once if you stick to your dream...........slowly it poisons your mind and it becomes a """"""""passion"""""""""" to you.................when this passion starts filling all of your nerves......you will slowly start ignoring other things which are not related to your passion........here where you start speaking in a high ambitious manner famously called """"""vedantham""""""
Can you guess what is the sweetest thing in the world ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its not love ,,,,,,,money,,,,,,,,,,,,or any earthly possessions....................its a thing called """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""PURSUING YOUR PASSION"""""""""""""""

The Basketball Diaries (1995)
My Reaction::::::another drug addict related movie with a happy ending ,,,,,,,,,its a true story...............but the movie is not a gripping one at all ..........though its having hig profile actors in their early stage of their career like Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg
Story::::::::::Its An autobiographical chronicle of the lives of four kids until they become youth. It is a picture of bad kids who start with small crimes and end up braking bones and more. ,,,,,,,,,
Performances :::::::::::Leonardo DiCaprio tried his best to put all his energy,,,,,,,,,,but some where we cant connect to the movie at any point of time.the role done by Lorraine Bracco as hero's mother is the only one which is of first rate .
Highlights::::::: i was not excited to any of the scenes.............only to scenes where hero's mom gets hurted by his son ........are little bit moving

Requiem for a Dream (2000)
My Reaction::::::::::::You will be in a shock to see how people will degrade themselves to get things to which they are addicted,,,,this is shown in a more realistic manner.....its not a commercial movie........its life of four drug addicts............SAY NO TO DRUGS,,,,,,,,,
Story::::Requiem for a Dream is a story of hopes and dreams of four ambitious people which are shattered when their drug addictions begin spiraling out of control.....the story revolves around a mom and his son and his girlfriend and a boy friend,,,,,mom dreams to appear on tv show,,,,guy looks for easy settlement in life with help of his friend and love.........story moves as how drugs change their lifes ......and shows how miserable it could be when addicted to drugs
Performances of cast and crew:::::::::
Fisrt i would like to mention is the background score (Clint Mansell),,,,,,,its hunting me even after the movie:::::::::::............the lady in the mom character(Ellen Burstyn) stands first,,,,,,,,,next is heroine (Jennifer Connelly)......... you will cry automatically for some scenes where she unwillingly goes to get money.......and drugs..........next hero(Jared Leto) and next the colored guy(Marlon Wayans),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its a book written by Hubert Selby Jr.....he is the screenplay writter too........i think he might have seen some one so closely who are addicted to drugs............director gave life to the characters in the novel..........
Highlights::::::::
Last 20 minutes is heights of reality ,,,you will never feel as you are seeing a movie,,after 10 to 15 minutes you will get involved into movie as you are next to one of the characters in the movie.........all four characters in the movie gave their one of the memorable performances,,,,,,,,,,,,
....the performance of Jennifer moves you in a scene ,,that shows a room full of drug addicts and sex addicts
Trivia:::::::::::The mom character played by Ellen Burstyn has been nominated for oscars but she did not win it..........
