மலையாளத் திரையுலகை மிரட்டிய 'கத்தி' வசூல்...

மலையாளத் திரையுலகம் கடந்த சில வாரங்களாகவே கடுமையான சோதனையை சந்தித்து வருவதாகத் தெரிவிக்கிறார்கள். தொடர்ந்து மற்ற மொழிகளிலிருந்து வெளியாகும் படங்கள் கேரளாவில் உள்ள அனைத்து தியேட்டர்களையும் ஆக்கிரமித்துக் கொள்வதால் நேரடி மலையாளப் படங்கள் வெளியாவது சிக்கலாக உள்ளதாம். தமிழிலிருந்து 'கத்தி', ஹிந்தியிலிருந்து 'ஹேப்பி நியூ இயர்' ஆகிய படங்கள் கடந்த வாரம் முதல் பெரும்பாலான திரையரங்குகளில் வெளியாக கேரள ரசிகர்களின் வரவேற்புடன் இரண்டாவது வாரத்திலும் அடியெடுத்து வைத்துள்ளது.குறிப்பாக 'கத்தி' திரைப்படத்தின் வசூல் இதுவரை வெளியான நேரடி மலையாளப் படங்களையே மிஞ்சி விடும் என்கிறார்கள். படத்தின் வசூல் மட்டும் அவர்களை கவலையடைச் செய்யவில்லையாம். ஒரு தமிழ் நடிகருக்கு கேரளாவில் இந்த அளவிற்கு வரவேற்பு எப்படி ஏற்பட்டது என்பதை ஆச்சரியத்துடன் பேசி வருகிறார்களாம். 'கத்தி' படம் வெளியான தியேட்டர்களில் கட் அவுட்டுகள், பிரம்மாண்ட போஸ்டர்கள், ஆட்டம் பாட்டம் கொண்டாட்டம் என மலையாள சூப்பர் ஸ்டார்களான மம்முட்டி, மோகன்லாலுக்கு இணையான பேரும் புகழும் எப்படி வந்தது என்பதுதான் பேச்சாக இருக்கிறதாம்.

HIGH COURT ORDERS FOR KATHTHI'S SCRIPT?

Another problem beckons Kaththi. Recently, a writer named Minjur Gopi has filed a case on the film, stating that the story is a stolen one. He has filed a petition at the Chennai High Court in this regard. Here is a viewpoint on the case, from Gopi's perspective.
Few years ago, a multinational company had acquired the lands of the innocent people in Gopi's town, selling it at throwaway prices. At that point of time, Gopi recorded a few interesting incidents taking place in his town and wroted a story called 'Mootha Kudi'. On completing the story, Gopi narrated it in a time gap of three hours to a producer named Vishwas Sundar. This took place in the company of a mutual friend named Jegan. After Vishwas Sundar took a decision to not do the film, Gopi was in a gutted state. However, Jegan who liked the story put Gopi in touch with AR.Murugadoss.
On hearing the story from Gopi, AR.Murugadoss was seemingly impressed. The director suggested some slight changes to the script, and finally telling Gopi to change it into a double hero subject. It is heard that AR Murugadoss has also agreed to produce the film with Gopi as the director. As the betterment process of the story started taking place, AR Murugadoss reportedly called off the project saying that he cannot produce the film.
Few months later. the news that Kaththi had taken off with Gopi's story shocked the writer. In turn, the writer has now filed a complaint stating that actions have to be taken against the director and Jegan, also a judgement has to be given on the story, whether it is his own 'Mootha Kudi' or an original one coined by AR.Murugadoss.
Therefore, it is now ordered that Kaththi's story and Minsur Gopi's book, both have to be submitted to the advocate general. Both the scripts will be read and analyzed, and only then a call will be taken.
To add to the confusions, there has been a turn of events where a response has been sent in regard to the complaint. It states that Gopi has not even met AR.Murugadoss until now, and there has been no discussion between them in the past. Moreover, if the story of Kaththi is brought out, it will lead to a fall in the collections for the film, is what the report states. The doubts linger around as this has added the fuel to the fire in the ongoing conflicts for Kaththi.

Aindhaam Thalaimurai Siddha Vaidhiya Sigamani--- Movie review

Cast: Bharath, Nandita, Thambi Ramaiah, Karunakaran, Renuka, Badava Gopi

Direction: LG Ravichandran

Genre: Comedy

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

 

Synopsis: An uneducated and naive young man from a family of Siddha doctors wants to marry an educated woman so that he won't be cheated in life. He marries a girl lying that he is a doctor but the girl has her own secrets...

Movie Review: Just when the last few weeks, with movies like Jigarthanda, Kadhai Thirakkadhai Vasanam Iyakkam and Sathuranka Vettai, seemed to signal that Tamil cinema is taking some steps in the right direction, here comes Aindhaam Thalaimurai Siddha Vaidhya Sigamani (ATSVS) to dash any such hopes and prove that it will always remain a case of one step forward two steps backward for our industry.

The hero, Sigamani ( Bharath, who couldn't have chosen a worse endeavour for his 25th film), not only lacks education but also lacks common sense. We are asked to believe that he is so good hearted that even when he realizes that his 'friends' are cheating him, he'll let them carry on with it. Even his concept of romance is plain ridiculous. He goes to a college, drops a peacock feather in front of the gate and starts 'loving' the girl who picks it up. And, the girl's family is even worse. Her dad (an over-the-top Thambi Ramaiah) decides that Sigamani is an MBBS doctor just because someone asked for a doctor on his mobile! As for the heroine ( Nandita, acting coy for the nth time), she will even go to the extent of consuming poison when accused of infidelity rather than come out with the reason behind her secret visit to a man's house.

ATSVS is a film so dated that by the interval the reek of staleness is so strong that we start looking at the ticket to see if there was an expiry date mentioned. Even proven comedians like Thambi Ramaiah and Karunakaran (among more than a dozen comedy actors who populate the film), for all their spirited attempts, cannot lift it beyond a few half-laughs. The quasi message-oriented plot that wants to stress on the need for education is now very much obsolete (at least Kunguma Pottu Gounder, which seemed dated even for 2001, had earnestness in its core) but still, given that it is billed as a comedy, you expect it to be somewhat entertaining. Films like Naane Raja Naane Manthiri and Rasukutty, which also featured an uneducated hero, managed that. But here, scene after scene is not only predictable but also unfunny, illogical and even offensive (to not just general practitioners of any form of medicine but also to any thinking individual) that it makes those over 20 years old films feel fresh. The only amusing thing here is the title, which comes across as something that Chimbudevan might come up with for a quirky comedy. 

Mardaani Movie review

Cast: Rani Mukerji, Tahir Raj Bhasin

Direction: Pradeep Sarkar

Genre: Thriller

Duration: 2 hours 33 minutes

 

Story: A braveheart lady inspector from the crime branch stumbles on a sex-trafficking racket. Does she succeed in bringing the culprits to book?

Review: It's raining fearless cops on the Bollywood marquee. Last week, it was Singham, who, in his khakis, returned to take the pants off corrupt politicians and god-men. And this week, it is Lady Singham or Shivani Shivaji Roy (Rani Mukerji), looking dapper, albeit briefly, in a police inspector's uniform, who wreaks havoc in Pradeep Sarkar's Mardaani.


The film claims to be inspired by true events. However, for cinema-buffs, it's easier to trace the inspiration to several Hollywood thrillers, including the Liam Neeson one, Taken (2008). Like Neeson, a former CIA operative hunting down his daughter who is kidnapped by human traffickers for sexual slavery, Rani is a current-day crime branch inspector searching for a teenager who goes missing from a local Mumbai shelter. The young girl Pyaari (Priyanka Sharma) is someone whom Shivani treats like her own niece. Her sole objective in the film is to track down the men who have kidnapped the orphan and blow the lid off their sex racket.

As she engages in a thrilling encounter with the baddie Karan Rastogi (Tahir Raj Bhasin) in Mumbai and later in Delhi, you can sit back and enjoy the action. While there is nothing in the plot that you haven't seen before, it is still watchable for the superb performance of Rani, whose amber-coloured eyes breathe fire when she is packing those punches! And her unabashed use of Hindi expletives like `chut**', `madar*****' should work with the lowest common denominator. The frequent *MCBCs* is the obvious reason for the adults-only tag.

This movie could have continuous recall had the pace been racier. And if you could also buy into the emotional tracks between Shivani and her husband, her niece or her ward. Also, Rani is the only member of the cast with star value. The rest of the actors, including the English-speaking young goon, are inconsequential.

Katiyabaaz Movie review

 

Cast: Loha Singh

Direction: Deepti Kakkar, Fahad Mustafa

Genre: Documentary

Duration: 1 hour 24 minutes

 

Story: Katiyabaaz is a moving account of Kanpur's electricity crisis that makes you realise how badly our country needs to reform the system.

Review: When circumstances push you way past your breaking point, can disobeying the law be justified? This conflict lies at the heart of this riveting docu-drama based on real events in Kanpur. Though it predominantly deals with something as serious as 'electricity theft', it never ceases to be a humane drama that is heartbreaking, yet funny at times.

True to the title, the film's (self-proclaimed) 'hero' of sorts is local vigilante Loha Singh, who is a Katiyabaaz, Katiya being the wire used to steal electricity and Katiyabaaz, the expert electricity thief.

Plagued by poverty and power cuts which last for as long as 15 hours a day, Kanpurites prefer paying thieves like Loha to get illegal but instant electricity, as opposed to paying KESCO (Kanpur Electricity Supply Company Limited), which fails to meet their expectations.

On the other hand, due to poor billing and collection standards, lack of funds, soaring demand, inadequate power generation and meter tampering, KESCO has been making heavy losses.

To bring the situation under control, KESCO's MD Ritu Maheshwari tries her best to resolve the long-standing issues and generate revenue. She orders taking serious steps against the perpetrators and during the process, faces multiple challenges. Is there a solution to this rampant problem?

The film draws your attention to the reasons and repercussions of the critical crisis, instead of merely focusing on the illegalities, thus giving you the whole picture. Balanced in its approach, this is one of very few social issue-based films that dares to take sides. A tale of survival was never so poignant and entertaining, all at once.

Sensitively directed, realistically shot,* Katiyabaaz* will make you value the most basic thing your city provides you with, that you often take for granted - *bijli.*

OMG: Deepika chooses Dinoo over Ranveer Singh

I met the gorgeous Deepika Padukone ahead of her upcoming hatke film Finding Fanny in her shooting van for the first time and was taken aback by the interiors. Much like her home, it had a very special Deepika touch to it and looked every bit a girly van, very different from the ones I have seen for other actresses. The sofas and curtains have a dainty flowery print with a lamp and diya lit on the side table. Just as you would expect in a girl's space, there is a running small kitchenette. We sat down over a cup of coffee where she spoke to Bombay Times about her special bond with Dimple Kapadia, her best friend Dinesh Vijan and why marriage may need to wait for a couple of years. Excerpts:

Bipasha loves being 'crusader of horror' in Bollywood

Bipasha Basu, who has acted in several films in the horror/ super-natural genre, says she is happy being "crusader of horror films" in Bollywood. Bipasha has acted in 'Aatma', 'Raaz, 'Darna Zaroori Hai', 'Rakht', and will next be seen in Vikram Bhatt's 'Creature'. "I am a greedy actor. I want to do good...meaty roles irrespective of the genre. I am happy filmmakers think of me when it comes to horror films. Also, my role in such films has been different and strong. I am happy being the crusader of horror films," Bipasha told in an interview here. The actress, however, thinks the horror genre in India is in the nascent stage.
"Horror genre is not explored much here. This genre is in its nascent stage here in India. There are many interesting things to explore in horror space," she said. But her acting in horror films has not made her immune to fear in the real life. "Even if there is a little noise around me, I get scared," she said. 'Creature', she said, is different from usual ghost, spirit and supernatural films and has a different element of fear. "It is the first Indian creature film being made here, the special effects are done in India. It's a bold step and I am glad I got to be a part of this film. I don't think we made the film thinking it as an answer to Hollywood films like Jurassic Park," Bipasha said. "It was very difficult film for me to shoot initially as I had to imagine the 'Creature'. But Vikram's guidance helped me a lot. We used to do every shot at least three times due to technical reasons," she said.

'Katiyabaaz': A documentary maker challenges mainstream space

The release of an 80-minute documentary on Kanpur's electricity hassles against a big banner Bollywood film didn't seem an alien concept to the makers of 'Katiyabaaz', who were confident of "challenging the mainstream".

Director duo Fahad Mustafa and Deepti Kakkar struggled their way for nearly three years to get a commercial release for Katiyabaaz across almost 50 screens in the country. They now hope the film spreads its light far and wide.

"We are sort of challenging the mainstream. We are trying to compete with the Bollywood space," Mustafa told media in an interview.

Lyricist Kabilan has penned three songs in Shankar's Ai. For one of these songs, he recalls writing the lyrics in the plane and on one of the peaks in Kodaikanal.
On asking him to reveal his experience of writing the song, Kabilan says "Writing a song with director Shankar is a comfortable thing to do.
