Puli in trouble again as actress Sridevi filed complaint against its financers

0

Puli, directed by Chimbu Devan and starred by Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay is landed in all sorts of trouble right from the completion of the film. At first the first look of the film had leaked from the sets and then its teaser itself released from the studio where its post-production works took place. Then just before the release of the film, there was income tax raid happened in the houses of its lead star Vijay and also in the houses of its financers. That become a barrier for its release as it had to cancel all its morning shows, fans shows etc on the day of its release.

And after its release, the film had got such a negative word of mouth from crowd and critics that it was really sank in box office. It had made a loss of more than 7 crore rupees to the distributor of Tamilnadu itself and they want Vijay to make the compensation for that loss. Now another trouble pops up as one of the lead actress in the film, Sridevi has filed a complaint against the financers of the film that they did not give her the remuneration which they told to give her after the release of the film.

The film which had made around a budget of more than 120 crore rupees eaten dust at box office and now Sridevi’s complaint against the film in the Tamilnadu Film Producers Council landed the film in more trouble. As per sources Sridevi said that they still don’t gave her the 50 lakhs Rupees which is due to her as per the remuneration agreement. The film is financed by Shibu Thamens of the Thameens films and P T Selva Kumar.

Years before it was the film named Sura that landed Vijay in such trouble regarding the failure of a film. Sura also was a big failure and at that time its distributors want Vijay to make the compensation. Now Puli is making him land in more and more trouble. It was Vijay’s biggest film till date as well.

Dr. Biju’s open challenge : Will watch all Shahrukh Khan films from now on

0

The issue which has been going hot in social medias for few days is the comments made against Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan by the leaders of Vishwa Hindu Parishat and also from Bharatiya Janata Party leaders. They had made some comments like Shahrukh Khan is a Pakistan agent and his heart bats for Pakistan made common people to protest against them who said so against Shahrukh Khan. Some other leaders of Vishwa Hindu Parishat said that Shahrukh Khan will have to beg on streets of India if Hindu community stops watching his films. Sadhwi Prachi, Kailsha Vijay Vargiya etc are the main people who hit pout against Shahrukh Khan.

They did this because of Shahrukh Khan comment that intolerance in increasing in our country and his words are indirectly pointed towards the government policies and his support for those who are protesting against the government also made the BJP leaders and VHP leaders to go against him with such comments.

Last day young super star of Malayalam cinema Prithviraj came in support for Shahrukh Khan saying that it is a great blunder to say to an artist to leave the country and people with the sense of culture will not say like that and will not agree to that as well. Now famous and national award winning Mollywood director Dr. Biju also come up with an indirect but seemed very open challenge to those who are against Shahrukh Khan.

Dr. Biju who always known for his sharp criticism in various issues in the society said that till now he had not any special liking towards Shahrukh Khan and toward his films. He was not a frequent viewer of films acted by him as well. But under this circumstances he said that from now on he will surely watch all Shahrukh Khan starred films. Shahrukh Khan getting great support from social media platforms and also from all the corners of the society.

Dr. Biju who is always known for great support to minorities and also to the suppressed sections of the society once again showed that spirit to support Shahrukh Khan in this issue and somewhat made an open challenge to VHP and BJP as well.

Vineeth Sreenivasan or Prithviraj ? Two actors to do films on the same subject ?

0

It has been a strange situation indeed. We are talking about the news regarding an upcoming Mollywood film based on the real life character of Saji from Thodupuzha who is dumb and deaf and who had made an aeroplane out of his love to fly high. There has been a report came earlier that Vineeth Sreenivasan is agreed to do the character of Saji after he finishes the directorial venture of his with Nivin Pauly in the lead named Jacobonte Swarga Rajyam. They said that a debutant director Sreekanth Murali will make the film with Vineeth Sreenivasan in the lead.

As per reports Sreekanth Murali had communicated with Saji and went to meet him as well. After that he approached Vineeth Sreenivasan and he agreed to do it. But just days after the breaking of this news another news came in that Prithviraj Sukumaran is all set to play the character of Saji under the direction of Pradeep M Nair.

That report said that the film will be titled as Vimanam and it will start rolling from 2016 January. Now it’s very strange and confusing for the readers as well. Because the first report said that it will be Vineeth Sreenivasan who will do the role of Saji under the direction of Sreekanth Murali who worked as the assistant director Priyadarshan and he also worked as an ad film maker. Another report that came later said that the character will be played by Prithviraj Sukumaran under the direction of another director named Pradeep M Nair.

Now we have to find out only one thing that is this news is came out because of any mistake or actually two films directed by two different directors is coming based on the same theme. If that was the situation then it will be happening like that first time in Malayalam cinema and it will be interesting watch it as well. In Bollywood it had happened as the life of Bhagath Singh was made in to film by different directors with different actors in the lead.

Late Jayan was supposed to play Moideen’s role 36 years back !

0

RS Vimal directorial film Ennu Ninte Moideen is running successfully in Kerala conquering the hearts of each and every Malayali and they had already given a classic status to the film. Prithviraj as Moideen and Parvathy Menon as Kanchanamala has got fabulous appreciation for their great performance in the film and people are on the opinion that they lived as the characters. But we have got a special information that Moideen’s life story was all set to make as a film almost 36 years ago and Moideen’s character was set to play by the late actor Jayan.

But that dream of making it into a film ended as Jayan died at that time. Jayan and BP Moideen were great friends and their relation started with the film named Abhinayam starred by Jayan and directed by one named Baby. That film was financed by BP Moideen and on the set of the film Jayan and Moideen became great friends. They both shared their life stories and their life struggles with each other and after hearing the love story of Moideen, Jayan showed interest to make it as a film.

Jayan said to Moideen that he want to play the character of Moideen in reel life and Moideen happily agreed to that. Moideen also said that he will finance that film as well. But fate was cruel. After one month later, Jayan died in an accident while shooting for a film named Kolilakkam. After a short gap Moideen also died at Mukkam in that boat accident as well. That film remained a dream that is unfulfilled as both who dreamt about that died within a short gap of time.

After 36 years, it has come to us in silver screen as a film. It would have been great that if this had been mentioned in the new film Ennu Ninte Moideen. You all can check the truth of this by checking the title card of the film Abhinayam and also the book written about Jayan by T K Krishna Kumar named ‘Jayan Abhrapaalikalile Ithihasa Nayakan’.

Prithviraj’s support for Shahrukh Khan

0

The hot topic which is being discussed and debated in last few days in our country was the issue involving Bollywood super star Shahrukh khan. The issue was started when Shahrukh Khan said in a discussion that intolerance in rising in our country and his remarks indirectly targeted at the government policies as well. There has been lots of issue happening currently between prominent literary figures and government and many of them had given back their civilian honors and certificates of Merit given by the Government.

Shahrukh Khan said that he respect those who had done this and if the time comes he will also do the same. But now it’s not that bad and he not want to do it now. But his words was taken by Bharathiya Janata Party leaders and Vishwa Hindu Parishat leaders in bad spirit and the attacked him verbally by calling him a Pakistan agent. VHP leader Sadhwi Prachi is the one who said that comment. Some others said that Shahrukh’s heart is with Pakistan. Another one said that he will be begging on streets if Hindus stops seeing his films and some asked him to go to Pakistan as well. Many people had come supporting Shahrukh Khan in this issue and from Kerala Political leader Pinarayi Vijayan also came supporting Shahrukh Khan. From Mollywood it was Prithviraj who came forward with his opinion in this issue.

Prithviraj said that it will be a blunder to say to an artist to leave the country. He said that one who have a little culture cannot say like this to any artists. He also said that only cultureless people can talk like this and sensible ones will not agree to these type of comments made on Shahrukh Khan who is an artist. Prithviraj said this opinion by supporting Shahrukh Khan in a press conference in Kuwait which has been organized to announce his upcoming film with Blessy.

Blessy is making Aadu Jeevitham with Prithvi in the lead. Prithviraj said that the character Najeeb in Aadu Jeevitham will be one of the best in his career after Moideen.

Salt Mango Tree Review

0

2014 saw an unexpected blockbuster from really an unexpected corner. Yes, no one was really expecting that a blockbuster success will come from a debut director like Jibu Jacob and that too by coming with a film starring Biju Menon in the lead role. Biju Menon is one of the most popular actors we have who has enormous talent in him. But before he was always seen in roles as a supporting actor and we did not expect him to come as the male lead in a film. But with the film Vellimoonga directed by Jibu Jacob, he came as hero and conquered the Malayali hearts. Now Biju Menon is all set to strike gold at box office with another film released today. It is titled as Salt Mango Tree and is directed by Rajesh Nair.

The phrase Salt Mango Tree is popular in Kerala as it was a hilarious dialogue from complete actor Mohanlal in the film named Doore Doore Oru Koodu Koottam which released years ago. He says it as the English word for Uppma. But that also indicates the inability to understand English language and people began to use it widely to denote those who don’t know English properly or who use English in a scratchy manner.

The plot of the film revolves around the family of Aravind T P who is a medical shop owner. His wife Priya works as an accountant in a private firm and they have a 5 year-old son, Manu. From the beginning of the film we are shown the efforts of Aravind and Priya to get admission of their child in the first standard in any leading English medium school in the city. Aravind is liberal in his approach in contrast to his wife Priya’s approach to the whole situation. Because they fails to get admission many times because of their inability to speak English.

Direction by Rajesh Nair and screenplay is by Vinod, who really maintained a good standard. They never stretched the story too long and the humor flavor in which they narrated the story really went well with the audience. The film discussed a relevant subject in the current society and throws light to the competition between parents to get their children admitted in popular schools. It also shows us the attitude of school managements which value the education and financial position of the parents more than the talent of children.

Biju Menon once again sizzled as Aravind, it was his witty expressions and comic numbers which was the highlight of the film. Lakshmi Chandramauli played the character Priya and she done it beautifully as well. Kanaran Harish was super as the medical shop attender.The DOP by Vishnu Sharma was very good and Bijipal once again proved that he is one among the best when it comes to creating music which makes us feel nostalgic. Soorej’s editing was also good as it made the film to move forward without much lagging. The performance of artists such as Suhasini, Indrans, Sunil Sugatha, Sudheer Karamana, Vijay Menon, Sarayu, Raghavan, Kottayam Pradeep, Saiju Kuruppu etc were good and they neatly done their portions. Except from the cliché family scenes that scattered throughout the film, there is not much negatives in this film.

In total Salt Mango Tree is a feel good and decent entertainer which make you think as well as laugh. It is not an extra ordinary ride but a ride through the life of the lives of an ordinary man and his family.
