ON Vietnam Veedu (1970) - Tamil movie


This movie was adapted from the play,an orthodox brahmin Sundaram retires from his profession,and his emotional reactions,mind set were accurately captured.He faces difficulty in adapting with his sons,daughter dishonesty,indiscipline,besides he is an very honest and strict man. Sivaji Ganesan one of the best actor in history of cinema gives his best performance,accurately enacting brahmin slang,body language,expression.Nobody can act like him ,besides his setback of overacting,which he claims to be very nature of acting. Nagesh,Padmini,Srikanth gives good supporting role performance.Special kudos to writer Sundaram,for his awesome lines.This movie breaks monotonous style of movie making and gives a neat drama due to its plot and characters from real life.A little bit of overdose when it comes to melodrama in this movie,still the movie touches deep. I guess actor Sivaji Ganesan deserves life time achievement award Oscar,and maximum recognition for his contribution to cinema for around 250 movies,where he has displayed variety of roles more then any actors in world.This movie is an solid example of why i claim it.Infact tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan founder S.S.Vasan was in tears after watching this play as he said it reminds of his personal life as his mother is also cook.And Vietnam Veedu Sundaram known for his brilliant one liners and dailagues got chance after replying to Sivaji "he is not master of his own pant".when he asked why his trousers were loose. Both were rocking in English considering their humble background.

#home Malayalam movie review

Image
I got into this after tough day in my work and selected this as somewhere I saw some raving review in my facebook feed somewhere in my mobile. Irony that movie which downplays the mobile device got attention by mobile. It's very hard and unfair to write review on culture and language that am not into it. But first time ever I went really went tight on capturing images and reading sub titles due to the natural visual, realistic characters. when the movie started telling about a director and writers block, i thought it's going to be too artistic and would loose empathy as like the movies 71/2(french), marupadiyum, bommalatam, VTV. I don't like movies about movies, I was sleepy until the part came in about the guy who ran a video cassette shop who gone out of competition now. And also I thought this movie cannot be tagged as just a feel good family drama but has more hearty flavour to it. My take on a movie always would be story distorted and pick my favourite elem

ON Self Knowledge Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti - Why JK repeats?(On my spiritual guru

Image
This is ON JK who lived during -Jiddu Krishnamurti- May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986 ).He is many's spiritual guru and had not sharing about him to anyone as there are certain beauties which we cant share and also philosophy is a dry subject,where people wont like it. He cannot be labelled as the guru, anybody don't have any particular person who is their guru all life. Life is our guru,not particular person.But to push yourself to life and make the starting ceremony with first lesson in a big book of life you need a guru. A guru is only a starting point. The guru cant find you as you have to. To dig on life we should not willing to be satisfied with superficial,comfortable,painful life which we may be hiding at. Many will get inside the learning zone only when wanting to penetrate life more then what it is ,and become desperate to know on why pain and how to overcome it.First time in life we will be bothered to dig life,strain  and win it INTELLECTUALLY.

ON Tamil Writer Balakumaran - The man who knew too much on spirituality

Image
  This write-up on writer Balakumar, veteran of tamil fiction credited to have 200 plus book titles. Balakumaran writing got into me when i watched the Tamil movie Gentleman(1993) as a kid. Even though dialogue is small part of movie, managed to take away his name in the movie titles which we hardly care to see. Then i managed to see some of his works in movie and always been great fan like for a hero in the movie. Later i used to see his name was always there in tamil novel section in book shops which i often used to visit. I turned pages there and got into his novel writing a bit. One of my non conformist friend suggested couple of his novels which i tried and started liking his flavor of writing. He shines like a hero in a movie after reading through it. Amazing technique of domain exploration, philosophical musings on life and people, adulation of feminine side. The novel like "Irumbu kudhiraigal" flashes a bit of movie "Polladavan" and drives into a subject,
