Mega star Mammootty is feeling a sigh of relief now after his Vishu release named Bhaskar The Rascal had opened to good response from audience as well as in box office. Even though his last few films done some business at box office that was not really enough to get over from the string of failures he had been going through from the last part of 2010. In fact great opening and good mouth publicity never came together for his films in these 4-5 years.

If the film had a great opening the mouth publicity will be negative which make it a failure and if the mouth publicity is good the film’s opening as well as the collections showing not much of an impact totally. But now in the case of bhaskar it has got above average mouth publicity and a good beginning at box office together and it is a very good sign for him.

Mammootty said to the people of Kerala through the medias that the success of the film gave him that much happiness that he can’t express that in just a mere sentence showing happiness.  Mammootty told that many people said to him that Bhaskar The Rascal is like a Vishu gift of Mammootty to mollywood film lovers. But Mammootty says that it is not that way and he said that the success people gave to this film is a kind of Vishu gift film lovers given to him. He also said that people who love good films and people who take good films in their heart gave this sweet memory and gift for him and he thanks each and every one of the mollywood film lovers who appreciated the film and made it a success of this year.

The Summer vacation and Vishu season had really changed not just the luck of Mammootty, but also the luck of Mollywood as well as Bhaskar is now the 5th film released in one moth and out of which 3 films including Mohanlal’s Ennum Eppozhum, Mammootty’s Bhaskar The Rascal and Nivin Pauly’s Oru Vadakkan Selfie become profitable. March 27 released films Oru Vadakkan Selfie and Ennum Eppozhum is on the way to Mega Success and Vishu film Bhaskar as of now going to super hit status.

Mega star Mammootty is doing family oriented and action films one after another such as Rajadhiraja by Ajay Vasudev, Varsham by Renjith Shanker, Fireman by Deepu Karunakaran, Bhasakar The Rascal by Siddique, Acha Din by Marthandan, Pathemary by Salim Ahammad etc. Now it’s the time for a change thinks the mega star and in an upcoming film directed by a newcomer Mammootty will play a romantic hero.

The name of the film will be White and the debutant director will be Uday Ananthan. It will be his first mainstream film debut as he had done one of the short films of the anthology film named Kerala Cafe some years back. And the name of his short film in that anthology was Mrithyumjayam.  In this film Mammootty will play the role of a mid -aged man who falls in love with a 25 year old girl. The female lead of the film is not yet decided and the main place where the film will be shot is London.

Uday ananthan, Praveen Balakrishnan and Nandini valsan together had written the screenplay of the film and the dialogues for this film is written by Bipin Chandran. Veteran music director Ouseppachan will compose the music for this film and the film will be financed by famous production controller Dixon Poduthas. They crew has planned to start the film in the last week of August as of now and the title White also not a confirmed one as it may change in the coming days.

Mammootty is not so popular for doing romantic characters and people have a belief that Mammootty can’t have the skill to do a romantic character. The earlier films in which he tried romance have also not done well at box office and that had strengthen the above mentioned believes of the people. And now it is a big decision by Mammootty to try it out again and take up the challenge to go against the odds. He is a man who always stood up to the challenges and he has the caliber to overcome it.

Mammootty is a man who always believes in the abilities of newcomers and reaped gold with them several times in box office. Let us hope that in this film too he will reap gold with the newcomer and with the new character.

Director Siddique’s latest film Bhasakar The Rascal which released on 15th April 2015, on the Vishu day of this year is getting good response from the audience and now the latest update is about the film is that it will be remade to Bollywood in the near future. And about this news it was Director Siddique himself said this in an interview recently that he want to remake it to Hindi and producers were came from there with an intention to remake this film.

2 years back siddique said that he had the plans to remake his films Chronic Bachelor and Ladies and Gentleman to Hindi and now bhaskar the rascal also come to that list of Siddique. It will be almost sure that his next Hindi film after the super success of Body Guard will be the remake of any of the above mentioned films. Bhaskar the rascal is a film which had all the elements of entertainment and in Bollywood’s wide canvas it will be more colourful and better if it goes there.

Siddique also said that it was a real challenge for him to make script for Mammootty as he is one of the best actors in Mollywood and also their previous associations were still ruling the minds of the audience. So if he have to do a film with Mammootty, the character must be as strong as their earlier characters or may be people expecting a lot more than that. He had thought about many characters first and at last landed on the story of Bhaskar which will have all the elements for the fans of Mammootty and also allow him to enact his strong points. Siddique said that at first the title of the flick was The Rascal and later they changed it to Bhaskar The Rascal which sound more apt as per the plot evolves.

He said that he had tried his best not to repeat the track of his earlier films here in Bhaskar and it is very difficult to bring that kind of a humour track in Bhaskar’s story. But the film has humour that comes from the innocence of the character of Bhaskar. Siddigue also said that the presence of Janardhanan in his films is a great blessing to him and Nayanthara came into this film as part of his friendship with her as well.

The two main factors behind the success of this film is the fabulous performance of Mohanlal whose expressions went beyond the imagination of the spectators and the second factor is the trust our family audience had on Sathyan Anthikkad. These are the two main reasons why the flick has become such a great success even after getting Mixed opinion from the opening day youth audience.

Dulquer Salmaan is now becoming very popular in kollywood thanks to the release of Mani Ratnam’s film OK Kanmani in which he is playing the male lead and Tamil media also now giving all their attention to this young actor who riding high in mollywood and going to do the same in kollywood as well. As a part of the promotion of his latest release OK Kanmani Dulquer is giving so many interviews to many Tamil channels and in one of this interviews he was asked about the Tamil stars and how he look up to them as an actor and a newcomer in the kollywood.

Dulquer Salmaan replied very cleverly for this question and make the fans of all the stars in Tamil happy.He said that everybody in Tamil cinema or every super star there is a source of inspiration for him. Everyone had their own qualities and that is why they all are still the super stars of the Industry. Dulquer said that if he say about Rajnikanth films, it will be a kind of celebration for him as a viewer.

A Rajanikanth film is a colourful celebration of dance, songs, different locations, fights and punch dialogues etc. Variety and freshness is the thing when it comes to a Kamal Haasan film and  it is all about experiments of different kinds. We don’t even know what he is going to deliver and what wonder he is going to give and there is always been a curiosity factor when it comes to him.

And when it comes to the young kollywood stars Dulquer Salmaan says that Vijay is a kind of actor who have certain calmness in his dialogue delivery and he says that the calmness while Vijay uttering even the punch dialogues were super and of course no one can dance like him as well. And Ajith is always stylish and as style icon for him. Suriya is an actor whose growth as an actor from the earlier stages of his career to now was amazing. He is been brilliant throughout.

And At last Vikram amazes Dulquer in a way that Vikram does one film in two years or like that and Dulquer says that he can’t imagine how he does it as in mollywood actors like Dulquer is doing 4-5 in a year. He had the opportunity to put his hopes on one film after another if one film does not do well. But it is very hard if one does one film a year or two.

OK Kanmani Review

OK Kanmani, The much awaited kollywood flick of this year directed by Mani Ratnam and starred by Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menon had hit the screen today all over. The film has a great crew including the music maestro A R Rahman who composed the songs and P C Sreeram who cranked the camera for this film. If you ask us to say about the film in a single sentence we will say it is a decent film and a one-time watchable flick for the youth or romantic film lovers.

The plot of the film revolves around Aadhi and Thaara who is he representatives of our modern free thinking young generation. Both are living in the city of Mumbai where they meet and become friends. As they both share common ideas and think like the same they decides to live together but without the formality of a marriage. But later their view about life began to change as something begins to change between them. Then the film gives you the answer of will they get married or not and how they solve the problems which had arisen between them.

The film was an ok one if you watch it without the burden of expectation that Mani Ratnam’s great earlier films gave you over these years. Writing was good but not great. It is good in the sense that it had brilliantly given space to characters played by Prakashraj and Leela Samason named Ganapathy and Bhavani respectively and connected it well with the story of Aadhi and Thaara. But the writing failed to keep up the pace of the film which lagged at many parts. The background scoring by A R Rahman was also not up to the expected level as it sometimes gave the feel of lost in Synchronization.

And about the performance we can say that our lead payer had did a good job as they both essayed their character in the best way possible and their chemistry had worked out very well. Dulquer and Nithya really gave youthful energy which needed for the characters. Prakashraj and Leela samason also done their part to perfection and DOP PC Sreeram was really captured the frame with all its beauty. A R Rahman’s songs were good and totally the technical side and the performance really gave a boost to the film. But if we consider the pre-release expectation and hype it was not that OK and ended as a passable film which will not disappoint you and also not satisfy you fully.
