Billa-Trailer and Songs- The Hype

Posted on Nov 27, 2007 under General, Movies | 1 Comment

“Look into the history,it taught us only one thing.For living ,you can Kill anyone and everyone ” roars Ajith in his new movie Billa’s teaser .

This diwali morning while i was gazing at the channels i got the luck of seeing the BILLA-2007 teaser.Its about 10 secs length and very catchy.And to everybody’s anticipation the songs were released yesterday.The songs are not very artistic or anything like mind-boggling but its very much superb for a commercial entertainer.I am a fan of rajini and watched the older version of Billa as much times.The don character is a stylish one and Rajini’s image added a good value to it. It’s a perfect entertainer with a good plot and adequate twists necessary to make the screenplay fast paced one for that time.

Today i watched the full one minute trailer available on net.For those who want it here is the link.In simple words it has all the things to kindle one’s curiosity to watch the film.Most of the costumes are look alike Matrix characters and for fans like me “Nayanthara is dangerously low” in her dresses.The trailer is quite fast and editing is great for a Tamil movie standard.It contains mostly action sequences and ends with ajith stating “I’m Back”.Ajith looks very refreshing in his looks and the body language speaks heroism.

Coming back to the songs it’s really good compared to the original Billa.In the older version i like only two songs the infamous “My name is Billa” and “Vethaliya Potandi”.Others are not so much popular with me. In this version the remix of “My name is Billa” can be scaled simple in remix standards as todays tamil movies remixes are moving to hip-hop as in “Pollathavan”.The second Ajith’s introducing song “Seval kodi parakathuda “sung by Vijay yesudas is peppy and fit well to todays standards for opening song.”Sei yethavathu sei” sounds very seducing with the kinds of sounds used by yuvan and the husky voice,but the thing i hate is the pronunciation of Tamil words,it losses some of its soul here.The item number from Deepika “Nan Meendum Nanaga Vendum” is the pick of mine.Superb Music and Deepika exploited it very well even though her pronunciation seems bad at times.”Vethalaya Potandi” is good and sure it will be the choice of Kids for the next two months.Finally the theme music it’s stylish and reminds me the “Matrix”.

As for me songs are good and i am expecting “Thala” Ajith to deliver some good performance to make my favorite film a great success even after years. Hope thala won’t disappoint me and make this film a great treat to watch.

Chak De India - A Sensational Making

Posted on Nov 04, 2007 under Movies, Sports | 3 Comments

Today i watched the film ChakDe after a long time it has been released in Cinemas .Even though i want to see king khan’s action on the big screen i have to miss it because of my poor Hindi Knowledge.I have wait until today to watch that film with English Subtitles.I am not a movie reviewer or a serious critic.I am an average man who likes to watch good films.For my standards this is an excellent movie which themed the Sport rather than love and Heroism ,an unlikely step in Indian Cinema.I hate watching Hindi movies as i don’t understand that at all but now a days after watching some very good movies like Lage Raho Munna Bhai and this one i started loving Hindi Movies a lot.We can’t compare the two films as both are centered around different themes,but clearly both are awesome.I didn’t expected a movie teaching Gandhism this much beautiful.Even the other movies which depicts the life of Gandhi doesn’t did any stress to his teachings.

Like that this movie insists the importance of our National Game Hockey .There are lot of peoples in INDIA who don’t know Hockey is our National Game,But they knew well about sachin and sourav,isn’t it really bad?Recently while the Indian team won the T20 world Cup the reception was very grandiose ,but alas when our Hockey or Foot Ball team won some important matches they where retreated by the media just for one or two days.

At least after watching this film we should have to change our poor mindset.We Indian’s are not a breed which is inferior in any aspect.We ourself like to stay in the comfort zone and blame others for the results.We should encourage sports first,that too all other than Cricket.I don’t mean stop supporting Cricket.Please support others as well.If you are past your playing times ,don’t hesitate to encourage kids to become a sports man.We have lots of Software Professionals,Engineers and lot of Humans too then why can’t we build a great team.Hope the next generation will get the message.
