Selva is Aayirathil Oruvan

Aayirathil oruvan is a roller coaster ride which starts with a great speed however loses it's balance at some point making the riders feel insecure.Firstly, would like to congratulate Selva for his brave attempt.He has broken all the conventions followed in Tamil cinema for years together.
The story moves at a very fast pace in the first half.It is about the archaeologists who take up a journey to find the missing ruins of the great chola rulers.The twists and turns shown is really amazing.However the post interval screen play and the climax is a big let down and makes this movie a good movie whereas it would have been a cult classic had the director had the audience in mind.
Andrea,Reema sen and Azhagam Perumal form the core team and Karthi plays the role of their assistant in this journey.The first half of the movie is crafted exceptionally well and near to perfection with such big grandeur.The journey is shown in such a way that it makes us feel the heat and pain the travellers experienced.
Karthi plays the role of coolie leader and helps the archaeologists in their mission.He has once again proved his mettle and proved that his first movie's performance is not a flash in the pan.Another notable performance which would be talked by every one has been given by none other than Reema sen.It's really amazing as to how the director made her to give such an extraordinary performance given the fact that she knows very little or no Tamil.
Other note worthy performances on screen is given by Parthiban who comes as the Chola king and Andrea who has done a decent job. The movie has lot of C.G work with high standards.Ramji, the Editor needs to be complimented for his stunning camera. The stunt men have taken much strain to prove that this is not an ordinary movie.Songs doesn't play a major role in this film and BGM by G.V could have been better.(Missed Yuvan a lot).
On the whole it is really wonderful to see a Tamil movie of this genre and would have been the best experience had the director concentrated more on the screen play and the climax which was not satisfactory.I would go with 3.6 out of 5 for efforts given by Selva and his team.

Jai ho Concert

Guys and gals it's time to write about our great musical journey ....We three (myself Boobesh and Hari ) planned to go to the Jaiho concert by the legendary ARR held on October 11 08 .We were not accompanied by our regular gang as they were hesitant to join us and really don't know the reason for their hesitancy.All said and done as usual Hari booked the tickets and we all started our journey to the place were the concert was scheduled.

It was a place next to mahabaliuram named Marg Swarnaboomi(that was what was given in the ads).But only when we were driving came to know that it was nearly 80kms and 40 kms from mahabali.

OMG It was really crowded allover .I have never witnessed such traffic jams in ECR .After a very long tiring journey we reached the venue.It was a packed venue already and we felt that we cannot get our seats .Also to mention the fact that we were never frisked and were not even asked for our tickets through out the show was a great advantage.After some tense waiting movements ARR appeared on the stege which was very far from our sight .he started his performance with jage hein (guru).Wow It was a splendid start by the legend.

There were few dark spots in the program.The program first of all was not well organised. The audio quality and acoustics were really poor and the videography too was not well done.Any ways we tolerated these all because of this one man who did a great job.hatts off Rahman and long live his songs. Kalbali,Delhi6 Theme,Athiradi, Fiqrana,Snehidhane(Hindi+Tamil),Kabhi Kabhi Aditi ,Konjam Nilavu+Rap Fusion,Rehna tu,Chaya chaya,Uyire,Jashn-E baharaa,Dilse re,Kannalane,Nenjinile,Mustafa mustafa,Maya maya,Style,Kwaja mere kwaja,Arziyan,Thamizha thamizha,Azeem O Shaan,Veera pandi kottaiyile,Aye ,airathey,Taxi Taxi,Arabic kadaloram,Aye Bachu,Jaiho + Vandhe Madheram were the songs performed by the team. It was an unforgettable experience and we relish these moments for ever.The program finished at around 11.30 and we reached our home at around 3am.
