Baba Ramdev, the new WRONG NUMBER for online medias

0

Now it’s the turn of Yoga guru Baba Ramdev. Online medias got a new ‘wrong number’ in the name of Baba Ramdev at the end of 2014 to celebrate. The case is that on Sunday Yoga guru Baba Ramdev Appealed  for a social boycott of those people who is behind the making  of the latest Aamir Khan film ‘PK’, which was directed by Raj Kumar Hirani and which was making waves all over the country today with its theme and also for the great success it is getting even after lots of protest from some section of Hindutva supporters.

Baba called for this boycott because of the same issue as he says that the film is ridiculing God and Godmen and as their claim it specifically mocking at the Hindutva rituals. But the film is getting tremendous amount of support from the common people and youngsters and even the supreme court of India rejected an appeal to ban the film saying that there is no harm with the film and its content and those who don’t’ like the subject just have to stay away from it.

The people using social media as a platform to support PK and they are now really began to make fun of and ridiculing people like Baba Ramdev who is openly come out against the film. The ‘wrong number’ is a popular phrase from the film which is used by Aamir’s character Pk to refer to the selfish and misguiding so called Godmen or Mediators of God. Now people began to call Baba Ramdev a “wrong number” to make fun of him and also as a support to the film.

According to Baba Ramdev those who are making this type of  movies are just insulting Hindu culture and religion. He says that now a days there is the situation came up that anyone can stand up and say whatever they want to say against Hinduism. He says it was very shameful indeed. No one says such thinks about Islam without thinking . But no one cares about Hinduism and the insult it faces through films like this and people who creates such films to mock Hinduism. He says that that is why he is appealing to boycott those who made this film called PK. But Baba not seems to get much support and in fact it made him a laughing stock at the online and social medias and really made him a “wrong number” for  the people.

0

Now, it’s the turn of Tini Tom to compare the personalities of our living legends Universal star Mohanlal and Mega star Mammootty. Tini Tom had acted with both of them recently had his share of views about both these legends of Indian Cinema. Tini Tom was a Mimicry artist who turned actor and now he is a usual presence in Malayalam films. He has done variety of roles in this short span. He entered into the films by doing comic roles and then started to do villain and character roles as well. He also acted as hero in some films.

Recently in an interview to a leading and popular Television channel, Tini was asked to tell about the personalities of Mohanlal and Mammootty, as they were the pillars of Malayalam film industry for last 35 years.  Tini replied that Mammootty and Mohanlal is just opposite to each other when it comes to their personalities. Both have very different attitude in life with each other.

Tini explains that Mammootty is  just like a storm and he arrives in the shooting sets  with a very serious demeanor  and it is his usual attitude. But Tini says that  if we get close to him we can see the child- like innocence in him. He may be playing a video game or something like that. Tini also says that another quality associated with Mammootty is that he is very up to date with all the modern technologies that he can be called a walking Wikipeadia or just like that.

But when it comes to the complete actor Mohanlal, there is just the opposite we can see. Mohanlal  is very gentle and he will silently captures your heart and love. Tiny says that we would not often know when Mohanlal arrives in the shooting sets. H silently comes and hold you from behind with lot of love, but once he comes  in the sets, he will be the ultimate source of energy for all in the sets. He is very simple and never carry any starry ego with him.  He would mingle and communicate with everyone without any discrimination and will care everyone in the sets with equal respect and love.  He also said that he consider himself very lucky and proud to act with these legends of acting.

Nagara Varidhi Naduvil Njan Review

0

Nagara Varidhi Naduvil Njan is the first directorial venture of Shibu Balan with Sreenivasan and Sangeetha in the central roles. Sreenivasan and Sangeetha are joining hands for another movie after their successful flick Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala. Sreenivasan handles the script work and the dialogues of the movie.

Venu played Sreenivasan is an ordinary man who has returned from Gulf.  But, he faces financial problems after returning from Gulf since he has spent chunk of his fortune for his siblings. But, his siblings distance themselves from their brother after realizing that he is in a poor financial condition. However, he gets support from his wife Sunitha played by Sangeetha which is his only solace.  He starts to work as a security in an apartment complex.

His daughter Swati has only one dream in her life and that is to become a doctor. She even threatens to kill herself if he is not able to secure a medical seat. This makes Venu panic and he desperately wants to help his daughter fulfill her dream. It is at this time, he remembers about a property he has owned a few years ago. He makes up his mind to sell the property so that he will get enough money for his daughter’s education.  But, he finds it hard to do so due to various reasons and this makes the core of the plot.

Sreenivasan has always made it a point to expose the dark side of the politics and our present social conditions through his movies. This movie is no different and deals with numerous problems a common man has to face in our society. He also takes a jibe at the corruption in politics. But, it does not have the impact his other movies had and fails to provide with something worth remembering. To begin with, it is hard to digest that the protagonist has simply forgotten about a property that could provide him with handsome money.

The director has failed to give a satisfactory explanation for this. There are many sequences in the movie, which is not in accordance with the logic.This is quite shocking considering that the movie has Sreenivasan who always makes an attempt to keep his movie as realistic as possible.  Even the comic sequences are not good enough to make the audience laugh uncontrollably.

Sreenivasan and Sangeetha have done a fair job in the movie. Innocent, Lal, Manoj.K.Jayan and Joy Mathew are ok but their characters have nothing refreshing to do. The screenplay and dialogue by Sreenivasan is not up to his usual standard and we get the feeling that Sreenivasan is gradually becoming repetitive in his treatment of the subject. The movie is not a second rate one, but it fails to create interest in the audience.

Director : Shibu Balan
Release Date : 25/12/2014
Cast : Sreenivasan, Sangeetha, Innocent, Lal

Suresh Gopi opens up about I

Suresh Gopi talked about his Tamil movie in a recent interview. When asked what his real motive for doing the movie was, he replied that the only reason is the director Shankar. He called Shankar a wide lensed filmmaker.  He said Shankar has the ability to envision things beyond our ordinary vision. He also added that Sankar movie always have something new to offer and that his journey with his characters and story are as interesting as science fiction. He also made a comment on the main theme and said that the movie is about love.

He said that the movie demonstrates what a man can do for his love and how much pain love can cause. He noted that that the movie deals with the modern aspects of love. He said that the movie is romantic thriller. He remarked that he is not allowed to reveal the details of his character, except that his character is a doctor.  He also hinted that his character will provide the main plot with a ‘thunderbolt revelation.’  To the dismay of his fans, he made it clear that he does not have fight sequences in the movie. He said that he knows that the climax would be a wonderful treat.

He also confirmed that the make up artist Ojas Rajani would be doing an important role in the movie. He also heaped praises on Ojas and said that Ojas has delivered a stellar performance in the movie. He said that he is doing the movie of a director who has hunted his excellence as a performer.  When asked about the release, he said that the movie might release in the Diwali season or so. He said that when it comes to Shankar movies, it is not important when the movie release but what impact the movie has.

Fans of Suresh Gopi were a bit disappointed since he was nowhere to be seen in the trailers of the movie. It is quite possible that Suresh Gopi might be the surprise package Shankar has in store for us. Vikram plays the protagonist in the movie. Amy Jackson, Prabhu, Santhanam, Ramkumar and many other actors also participate in the movie.

Anoop Menon was a familiar face to the Malayalam audience long before he made his debut in movies. He worked for different channels as a host.  He also played the central character in many popular serials such as Megham and Swapnam, which took his popularity to a next level. Aside from acting, he also appeared to have an innate talent for scriptwriter. His first movie assignment was Pakal Nakshatrangal in which he participated both as a scriptwriter and as an actor. He appeared in the movie as Mohanlal’s son, which, itself, is a remarkable feat for a new comer. His potentiality as a scriptwriter and actor was appreciated by the film world.

But the crowning point of his career was the movie Beautiful in which he handled various departments such as acting, script writing and lyrics. This movie marked his debut as a lyricist and the song  Mazhaneer Thullikal was on of the most popular songs of the year. The movie enjoyed financial success and was given a thumbs up by the critics. He performed in the movie as one of the two protagonists and shared the screen space with Jayasurya. His other super hit movies are Trivandrum Lodge, Hotel California, Angry Birds, and his latest release Dolphins. It is a double joy for Anoop Menon as he is celebrating the success of Dolphins and now, he is married to his ladylove. We would like to wish them all the happiness in their married life.
