Goli Soda - " This is us and this is what we are....This is our identity "

" Nanga Pasanga daa ...Dhil irundha vaada "

A very good commercial flick and a pakka entertainer . Felt like "Pasanga" returns , every boy played their role really well....!! Yes agreed there are so many plot holes and logic skips , some scenes even would be too hard to digest or to believe but if that just kept aside , this movie would really entertain any kind of audience for sure. Bringing a different subject is never a easy task and that too showing up life around Asia's biggest market is not a easy call to make. But that said V.Milton did his best to bring things all together and presented really well. You wont run out of goosebump scenes as this movie has many and mostly things start to heat up at second half.

Though i wont say this is a thee best film but definitely deserves a one time watch for sure in theaters. Worth money spent. Don't miss it .

RunAway Jury ( 2003 )

One of finest court room drama..A movie which completely talks about the Jury System in U.S Court house and how they are manipulated by Jury consultants to get a biased verdict on their favor. John Cusack ,Rachel Weisz acting was just awesome but key role played by Dustin Hoffman as a defense attorney was just stunning and inspiring. Never realized that this movie could have that in it being simple plot this movie will still make sure sit at edge of the seat till the end. Especially the most important twist in the climax was just mind blowing and this is sure one of coolest movies i seen recent times. A perfect movie not to be missed , do watch it and have fun .

Banshee TV Series ( 2013 )
 
When i started to watch Banshee for the first time , i not even had a single clue what i am about to witness for next series of episodes but i must say that this is one of finest ever Action packed fully entertaining TV Series i seen in recent times. This is one hell of a F*****g series with full of energy at every episode and it will just not let you down in any episode for sure. Though i dont want to pull down much spoiler by telling more of a plot , but in simple terms this is about life of a Ex-con ( Antony Starr ) released in parole after 15 years of jail term decides to move to a Amish town Banshee, Pennsylvania in search of his past love Carrie Hopewell ( Ivana Milicevic ) but in some unexpected events he had to take up identity of a Murdered Sherif Lucas Hood ( Antony Starr ) who just came to banshee town to take up his new assignment . From then on the story fiercely moves towards Lucas life as a sheriff , how he manages to fake his identity and lives up to expectation of people in town of banshee in disguise , also his attempt to get back to his love Carrie who is already married to a Counselor in DA office and his resistance against bad people in his own style for sake of banshee people.  No TV series is complete without a perfect antagonist and in that way this series has got one hell of a stylish Amish gangster Kai Proctor , believe me you would like this person at times a lot then Lucas hood for being  fearless , dreaded ,daring at same time he do have moral values too but never downs to anyone. But his presence throughout the season and his way of getting with Sheriff Lucas and other people who stand against him like Alex Longshadow chief of  rez tribe is just mind-blowing. Not just one or two , there are so many kickass goosebumps scenes thought the season and you will never run out of these chilling moments and its very catchy everytime you see it.. Be it wrist fights , gun fights , powerful dialogue delivery  , this series has it all .   Even that said ,Lucas wood is no less then Kai protector as he is fearless too in-every sense of it and he always have his unique way of handling any situation comes in his way which inturn would keep us to the edge of our seat ,  just one specific scene to mention when he faces that boxing champ face to face to arrest him is no less of a goosebump moment. Also the way how director choose to narrate Lucas past life in Jail , his survival through his term was intense , gripping and prevents any dull boredom moment to the viewers and certainly a top notch screenplay.

Along with that , there are many other people around this series who also delivered their performance to perfection like Sugar and Job a computer hacker who are close allies with Hood and also  Clay Burton a very loyal right hand men for kai protector who's also very dangerous person a daring type. That said Carrie's father Mr.Rabbit a dreaded well known gangster along with band of his brothers were also important characters show up in it.  Right from pilot episode this series will start capturing your complete attention towards it and for same reason i can say this is a very addictive TV Series in recent times for sure. Not just action , be it friendship , romance , sacrifice , family , love you have everything down here in this and sure will keep you engaged. This series is for any series likers and one which never should be missed for any reason . Now its running at Season 02 Ep 05 and its far to catchup. Imagine a Most wanted Con in a Cop dress and thats what you are going to witness here. And it just doesnt end there , even the BGM is mind-blowing and that title credit video is just stunning and impressive. This series is fun overall and a treat for TV Series fans like me. Dont miss it.

"Aaranya Kaandam is a term from the Ramayana. It means Jungle Chapter but apart from the term, I haven’t borrowed anything else. The characters are as good or as bad as the common man. We might do something wrong according to law, jump the signal, go triples and commit such petty offences. When a friend sleeps around, we don’t think he’s being evil, right? I have just treated murderers and scum in my films just as I would treat a friend.

    Everything I have watched has been an influence. I’m a huge fan of Doordarshan, so my influences range from international to local. I like Karagattakaaran and at the other extreme, Aval Appadithaan. I think Bhimsingh’s classics are the greatest. I like Thiruvilayadal, also Visu as he directs a lot of people talking all along. At another level, I like the works of Tarkovsky, Tarantino, Lars von Trier… To me, it’s the work that matters and not the directors. No matter how many films a filmmaker makes, there would be very few films that are truly great, where he has got everything right."

~ Thiagarajan Kumararaja


"Once you create a believable fictional universe, you suck the audiences into that world and they tag along for the ride. Halfway through, their suspension of disbelief meets with an abrupt halt, when you include a real-world element like a ‘bleep’. Every effort that the filmmakers have put into the film just goes down the drain."

Thiagarajan Kumararaja on bleeping out words in Aaranya Kaandam

Sherlock Season 3 :-
 
How many really satisfied with Season 3 ? I feel this season was definitely missing something in it which i experienced in first two seasons. Season 3 Episode 1 just concentrates more about his comeback and theories of how he faked death which almost wasted a complete episode . This followed by second episode where it was totally a blunt drama in a wedding ceremony. I feel Episode 3 was near satisfactory but yet that "Think Tank " is somewhat too comforting for a series like Sherlock. Sherlock means not just the think tank but he is more than that...!! I feel season 3 more concentrates on the bonding between Watson n Sherlock and it was very less of standards compared to the previous seasons. But that said there are so many goosebumps scenes here n there , yet Sherlock lost its essence and going directionless with no strong plot or script. Lets see how the following seasons be.....

About Time (2013 ) :-

About time : A time travel movie in a romantic platter presented to us with a variety. So good and wonderful , Struggle to make things right and find love of his life with the ability god has given him to travel in time. He could have chose to do many other things but instead he went through with what his heart says...!! Seeing a movie with Dads love , sister affection , family union and love towards children , this is rather a whole lot package of fun . Definitely a very nice feel good movie too.... Not the one to be missed.

The Spectacular Now ( 2013 ) 

The Spectacular now is damn spectacular movie , very calm simple and pleasant . This is a very good movie for those who just cant realize the true love around and yet they like to recognize it. This is such a nice romantic movie with a very simple making through out. Though felt " A Walk to remember " at many places but yet this gave a very good feel watching.  Nice worth movie to watch .

Before Midnight ( 2013 )

Sunrise , Talk , Talk , Talk , Talk , Talk , Love , Talk , Talk , Kiss , Talk , Talk , Talk , Talk , Kiss , Talk , Talk , Talk , Talk , Sex , Talk , Talk , Kiss , Talk , Talk , Argue , Talk , Talk , Talk , Argue , Talk , Talk , Talk , Love , Talk , Sunset , Talk and Happy Ending before Midnight .

Movie with such a lengthy conversations but yet amazed with how they keep you engaged till the end. Life is not always about happy being but arguments , misunderstanding , disapprovals all adds up to be part of this whole package and this movie gives you that experience to make you realize what life is , what mutual understanding means to loved ones and things which are more important then life itself which is "Never give-up " . This movie is sure to watch for all couples out there who fail to understand what is more important in life is and not just one single arguments should take away all the pleasures of life you destined for , but instead it got more essence to it. Such a wonderful feel good movie , though needs lots of patience too to go through it but at the end it would all worth it. Don't miss it...!!!!!
