Life of Pi -- (English Genre)

I had always wished to watch this spectacular movie of the decade on the big screens with a 3-D glass on my eyes, but it was my exams and i missed the same. My friends were much agreeing about the no-nonsense story and magnificent graphics in the movie and had to keep listening to their experience and slowly the topic faded.

Last week, I had to share some technical materials with my friend and in return he loaded the pen drive with a HD quality print of the movie " LIFE of PI"

Eager to watch the film which had made a great news across the globe, film was loaded into my computer and speakers were set to huge decibels, show began for the one man audience. Believe me, the film did justice to the hype and was far better than my level of imagination.

Story did begin from Pondicherry, a union territory of India to speak about the happenings in the life of Pi-Patel, son of a zoo keeper. After the family head decides to close the zoo and sell the animals to western countries, they begin their sea travel along with animals packed in a ship. 

Pi Patel, a sharp minded, straight forward individual , followed his passion on a high scale. It may be about his interest in practicing three different religions , his eagerness to watch the Richard parker (a Bengal Tiger) close into its eyes or to speak to Anandi about his first love. Never would have this guy, imagined about his wildest days ahead and was busy enjoying rains pouring into the ship caught amid-st a wild storm.

Slowly and steadily, the wild waters swallowed the big ship but was kind enough to allow Pi-patel along with his zoo-mates to survive with help of a rescue boat. Pi-patel saw his co-survivors- Zebra, oranguton, hyena die in-front of him to become a feed for Richard parker (same old Bengal Tiger). The rest of the story is about the struggle between Pi-patel and Richard parker to survive and get out the wide deep ocean alive.

During this struggle, Pi-patel , who was vegetarian was forced to feed on non-veg, he grows his persona to the level of mastering the art of controlling a tiger under his command. He is introduced to his beloved god, a carnivorous island and at-last gets out of the sea along with Richard Parker alive to share this magnificent experience with the world which never believes him.

More than words, its the artificial world of water and the animation graphics speaks volumes and a big kudos to the Director of Film- Mr.Ang lee for getting this superb piece of art into reality.

Its worth watching Life of Pi. Five out of Five stars for the film.

 

EPIC-2 (A 3D movie)

And the cinema hall near my locality had installed a new Sony 4K 3D projector and i hadn't experienced the same for quite some time. And being a lover of cartoon movies I never wanted to miss the opportunity for watching EPIC-@ which got some positive reviews from my friends circle and decided to watch the same.

It was the last day for the movie in the theater and I got to the same quite early and i was entertained outside the theater by the kids who were quite eager to get into the cinema hall. It was time up and show started little earlier ahead of the scheduled time. With few people inside the cinema hall, i had a comfortable viewing angle of my choice.

Film is all about the fight between the good and the old and this time is in terms of afforestation and deforestation and i personally appreciate the concept which serves as an eye opener about our failure to acknowledge the beauty associated with the nature and for sake of monetary gains we are into making this beautiful earth a barren land indeed.

Queen character and associated VG of the way she is taken out on the leafy chariot is quiet awesome and even the race scene in the movie pulls us into the same. Music is good.

The movie is quiet a good experience especially for the ever enthusiastic kids who never get tired like we the adults.

Overall it was a good 3D experience and i loved the same....

Mouna Guru - Tamil movie review

Mouna Guru-2011-Tamil movie Review

Director: Sandhakumar

Producer: Mu. Ka. Tamizharasu

Music Director: Thaman S

Lyricst: Vaali , Na.Muthukumar

Cast: Arulnidhi , Iniya

'Mouna Guru' - going by the name and posters of this film, comfortably a picture is created in the minds of avid film goer and the assumption will like to see the hero becoming a social icon who can change the society silently.

But the fact is completely upside down and the story is no match to either the title or the posters- it is different. I would even go to the extent that director has used the trick of dupe publicity in order to pull the attention of crowd. Then you can raise a question about film's successful performance. The reason is simple - director duped but did not disappoint.

Story deals about a lead actor who suffers at hands of dark minded people filled with ideas of selfishness. Starting from a group of policemen who desire for easy money, then extends to the principle of college who desires to hide stealing quality of his son from the society, later it is the doctor who is successful in framing the lead to be a mentally challenged person.    

So the question remains about the way which hero finds to rein in on this mischievous elements, more than the hero it is his good luck in the film which saves him from clutches of fake encounters.

Film is a thrilling ride which has made the director proud for an enchanting screenplay. And the lead has been selected for the story which suits to his shape, size and behaviour. 

It is three out of five from my side and big round of applause.

yenna idhu song rocks... :)

eega - Telugu Movie review ( Naan Eee in Tamil)

eega telugu movie crew

---

Director:   S.S.Rajamouli

Producer:   Suresh Babu

Music Director:   M.M. Keeravani

Lyricst: M.M. Keeravani,  Ramajogaya Sastry,  Ananth Sriram,  Chaitanya Prasad

Lead actor: Nani 

Lead actress: Samantha

Villain: Kiccha Sudeep

Eega film is an adventurous venture for Director Rajamouli. It is quiet difficult to make a film out of a fly i.e Eega. And Director has used all his senses to make sure that film turns out to become a good entertainer for the audience. I believe it has been successful to a good extent.

Film exactly concentrates on Eega and nothing else. The love story between leads is as usual, introduction of a villain is as usual and Villain killing hero for heroin is also usual. But the unusual aspect of the film is the soul of hero getting into a fly and the fly's effort of killing villain becoming successful.

Best part of the entire film is Mr. Sudeep and his marvelous acting in an graphical environment. His expressions are scary as well as jovial. His acting was really comical to see him with a Hit in his hand to kill troubling fly,if I were in his place would have used a ultraviolet insect repellent to get rid of Eega. His in-between Kannada dialogues gets huge applause among Kannada audience including me.

Film would have turned out to be more entertaining, if the Eega was given a voice throughout the movie. Music is great, action sequences are great, graphic and camera work especially the slow motion capturing done  is superb.

 A best movie for kids to whom the film is really aimed at, since the film begins as a story being told by a father to his kid.Take your kids to the film and see them enjoying the stunts of Eega.

I give three out of five stars for the movie, but if I were a kid I would have given five out of five.

A superb song from the film specially for you
