The stupid’s Prism

Dasavatharam Music - First Impressions

I can’t resist this post even after i decided not to write anything about cinema .I still has this question in my head “What Jackie chan has to do with this movie?”.I am amazed with the publicity stunt done for this film.Already there are lot of rumors about the budget of this film which estimates around 120-200 crores.But why Jackie?Does it make any sense to the average tamil film fan who look for a entertainer for this summer holiday?Is the presence of jackie will shoot up the audio sales?I don’t find any logical relation for this rather than a simple publicity ,which doesn’t need him(Jackie) as kamal and BigB who was another guest for that function have enough to pull the crowd’s attention.Let’s leave this, it’s all “Oscar Ravichandran’s” money for which he has all the freedom to spent.These are some of the tit bits about the film.

 

• The timeline starts from 12 AD and travels to present.
• Several heroines and technicians were sacked during the course of project.
• For the first three minutes they have spent around 3crores.
• Kamal did the vocal for all the 10 roles which includes two female leads.
• Malika Sherawat is again in Tamil for an item number.

Today i got the songs and let me give my first views .I will rate this music as a below par quality for a film which has created tons and tons of hype for which budget is more than 100 crores.”Katai Thirakum Savi than Katru” is the pick of mine,with Kamal’s deceiving baritone this stand out first,but the remix is just a fast forward ,in which Himesh kills the little bit of Tamil left out by “Udit Narayanan” .Udit Narayanan will be the happy man as now he stand second in the tamil language killers list .One particular line is “Veelvathu yarhinum valvathu nadakatum ” ,i don’t find any good words to praise his excellency.”Kallai matum kandal” by Hariharan is a good song for both it’s music and lyrics.”Mukunda Mukunda” by Sadana Sargam is a good devotional song.Kamal did a bit of mimicry at the end of this song like an old lady,don’t miss that.”Kaa Karupanukum” song has good beats but tamil lyrics were not good as the english lyrics,simply having english lyrics would have been a good job.Watch out for mallika for this song on Big Screen.”Ulaga nayagane” is a BIS marked masala song having nothing more or less .This is just for the sake of praising kamal’s intelligence .All 10 roles dance along with K.S in this song.

All the song’s seems to be situational except the mallika’s item number.So music won’t have much impact in deciding the films result .I expected a kamal film as this is his own story,but the movie seems to be a K.S film which is good for the Producer.So i feel this movie won’t have much complex screenplays but it will entertain you well.Rather than expecting a “Virumandi” from Kamal expect a “PanchaTandiram” this time.

Note:I will rate Kuruvi’s song better than this, as it was what i expected in a vijay film.who knows kuruvi might be a super duper hit!

Kallori - A Good Watch

This Saturday(8th Dec) i watched the movie Kallori directed by “Kadhal” fame “Balaji Shakthivel ” and produced by his mentor Shankar’s S Productions .Kallori is not like the director’s last film Kadhal.It talks about the friendship between a group of students who were been friends from their schools and from different social backgrounds .

There are many things in the film to credit the director but i love the characterization of each characters based on their family backgrounds which makes the film more lively .The second thing is the screenplay .It’s a plain narration just like our day to day incidents with no twists and surprises ,even the climax has no cinematic feeling.Actually for each scene i thought this would be the twist but nothing happened as in life.The screen play is well visualized by the cameraman sometimes you can even feel that you are watching some peoples not a film.Not only the hero and heroine but all the friends were given much importance in the screenplay and everybody lived to the expectation.Tamana’s role have a lot of things to prove and she did it well and even with much ease i feel, All others too acted with ease i guess.

The film starts in a bus and ends in a bus itself .It has nothing to tell or taught the society .It is not like autograph to revoke your memories back or  like kadhal to feel the depth of love.Most of the fist half film tells about each characters and the later half about the emotions  between them.The Screenplay is wonderful while picturing the development of infatuation(a.k.a love) between akil the hero and Tamana.On the fist sight itself akil got impressed by Tamana but he is very normal with her until one of his senior kids him as his lover ,From then his look over her changes but Tamana is very normal until she was told by her friend that their relationship is criticized by the on lookers.She decided to be unaffectionate over him which in turn creates a emptiness in her heart while the sympathy over him makes her feel it’s a different thing unlike with other friends,her possessiveness makes her get anger over some of her friends but she respects the friendship more than anything and keep it close to her hearts .At one point of time she can’t hide that any more and opens to her friend and everyone gives them a positive support.But alas the couples can’t even share their feelings and the movie ends with an angry mob burning that bus keeping the students within which kills the three of their friends including the heroine.

Music is good and especially the song “Un Arugil ” is great.Lyrics by Na.Muthukumar(guess) was simply rolling over the music .BGM’s are not extraordinary as this film don’t need any such .

Finally Kallori is a film with no great cast, no great story, no extraordinary screenplay, no gimmicks but a good film to watch and spend your time.Go and get a ticket soon.
