Siva Manasula Sakthi

Saw this movie yesterday. Nothing much to say about it.

No logic
Not much of story
No great things

...but still worth watching it.

Had 3 hours of laughter. After a long time just kept laughing and laughing without thinking.

Naan Kadavul - Review

It’s hard-hitting, disturbing … and real! - The Hindu




I saw the movie Naan Kadavul yesterday. Bala has once again proved himself by making a film which portrays the life of an Aghori and day-to-day affairs of beggars.

Very hard to take but totally realistic. I have never heard about aghoris but when I saw it in the big screen I felt as though it is happening next to me. Arya has done a marvelous role as an aghori. Arya hardly comes in few shots and speaks very less. His entire dialogs can be written on a single sheet of paper. Bala has broken all the rules of a hero in his previous movies and once again done it in this movie.

For the first time I am seeing a Tamil movie with lot of Hindi dialogs. It was not difficult to understand, however for people those who don't know Hindi will find it difficult to understand. They could have used Tamil subtitles. However I felt Bala's touch here - he used sub titles only for those very important dialogs and left others.

The hardest part in the movie is when they show the life of beggars. I have heard that Mafia use them for their selfish purpose. This movie clearly shows how beggars are misused or rather created by mafia. Many shots showed the cruelty against them. These scenes are definitely not for weak hearts.


Should mention about Pooja. She will never get this kind of role again. This movie helps in proving her talent once again. She has done her part very well.

There is one thing which I did not like in this movie. Pooja's introduction - She was singing in a train and begs. Begger's generally sing movie songs in their own voice. Instead movie shows her singing a new song (should be her own composition). This is no close to reality. Also in other scenes when she sings they could have used a female singer (to show the feel that Pooja herself is singing). Instead they have used voices from the movie songs directly. Again I was not very comfortable with this.

The best part in the movie, and the one which I liked, is the strand of intelligent humor. The dialogs between the beggars, in front of the hill temple, were very good. It made everyone in the theater laugh. It helps in easing the situation in such hard movie.

Stunts have also complimented th movie very well. A special round of applause to ‘Super’ Subbarayan.

How can I ever forget Iilayaraja. When I first heard the songs, did not like it much. However when I watched it in the theater - they were apt. Mastro is always Mastro. My most favourite song in this movie is the first song Om Sivo Ham which begins with a ritual Sanskrit chant on Shiva. I felt as though my whole body rejuvenated when I listened to this song. Another song which people would remember is Pichai Pathiram written by Mastro himself. This song is an ominous mixture of suppressed emotions and feelings. The way it is pictured is beyond words. There were other songs as part of the movie here and there.



On the whole even though the movie is a GHORE one, it is very well taken and a must watch one. However please keep children away from this movie.

I like those powerful eyes

Nice Images

Went to Paddy's wedding today. As soon as we entered into the main hall saw these images on plates. Very impressive ones... I liked it very much.

Learning of the Day...

Today realized something very very important in life. Never be Egoist.

Yesterday my friend was annoyed with me for no mistake of mine. She was furious. Not willing to add fuel to the fire I just kept quite and went home. Today she was still angry. This time I wanted to sort it out and spoke to her. But she was totally pissed off and ... don't even want to mention it.

Then I went in person to her and spoke to her. Again she was not ready to listen to me and just kept going on and on. All I did was just kept quite and waited for her to vent her anger out. Then spoke to her and finally managed to convince her.

If this would have happened a year before, it would have been totally different. Our relationship would have broken cos I was egoistic at that time. But time has changed me. Now I know how to value relationship more than my personal ego.

Be it in any kind of relationship - friends, parents, husband-wife... any thing... anything which you value - there is no room for ego.

Forming a healthy society

Saw this image in a site. I liked it very much. Cuty cuty one.

This image triggered another thought within me. I don't like kids playing with computer. We hardly see kids on roads these days. I still remember those days when my grandmother use to literally pull us into the house when we play on road. But these days kids just sit infront of television or play computer.

I think parents are to be blamed for this. As both parents are working these days, they try and give whatever kids ask for so that they can be free and relax. Instead they should encourage them to go out and play.

These days I am seeing lot of parks coming up in Chennai. Parents should make it a point to take their kids to such places. Only when kids move around with other kids and run around, they will stay active and we can form healthy society.
