  • Wanted- Young Stars, Where are they?
    Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal in the blockbuster Magadheera[Note- By young star the reference here is to an actor in his 20’s and who has enough star power to carry off a film on his ‘young’ shoulders.] A short while ago when I was in Mumbai I was involved in a discussion with some friends which included a few PFC authors as well. All of a sudden the discussion...

  • Ayan & Mr. Reloaded : In Search of The Hero Down South
    Sagar Alias Jacky Reloaded – Prodigy in the Living Room Heard about this film mid-week, got sold out on the Mohanlal factor. Couldn’t help it. Have always wanted to catch a masala potboiler in the theater where I can’t understand the dialogs for the love of me, but still enjoy the fun cus’ it really wouldn’t matter in the masala state of affairs. Then the talk...

  • Is Bala “The One” of Tamil Cinema ?
    iView Author: Skanda Narayanan (City, Country) Email: skandarks@gmail.com Is Bala “The One” of Tamil Cinema ? Well, not yet. Sethu was a definite case of Bala’s holy arrival. Nandha discovered the actor in Surya, and Pithamagan saw Bala’s proteges (Vikram and Surya) coming together. With Naan Kadavul, Bala takes up the ultimate statement of...

  • Next Month at the Movies- Money Saved, Joy Lost!!!
    For a passionate lover of cinema like me, the anticipation of the next month always is keeping in mind the movies awaiting release- be it in Hindi, English or any other regional language. So why is it that introspecting on April’09 I’m feeling extremely sad? Ah! For the starters from April 4th onwards there’s going to be no Hindi movie releasing due to...

  • Surya- Underrated and Brilliant
     When  i saw his initial  movies, my  opinion  was just another star kid  trying  his luck in Tamil movies.  Nandha made me notice him for the first time as a good actor,  Kaakha Kaakha  increased my admiration for him,  and the way he managed to hold his own against Vikram’s  fiery  brilliance in Pithamagan made me like him even more.  Movies  like...

  • A thousand elephants
    The phrase thousand elephants has a lot of significance in Thamizh literature. The medieval classic ‘Kalingathup parani’ was written over a war in which a chola king’s army killed more than thousand elephants of an enemy in a war. In fact the grammar says that ‘parani’ (collection of songs on a king’s victory in war) should be written...

  • Surya S/o Krishnan- My Father My Hero
    Spending the Christmas weekend at my home town Vizag, i had not many options at the movies. Among the Telugu movies there was Kotha Bangaru Lokam, Nacchavule which were supposed to be good, but i had enough of teen flicks, and honestly i did not want to spend time at another teen movie. And there was Aamir’s Ghajini, but i was not in the least bit...

  • Vaaranam Aayiram : A Thousand Things More…
    iView Author: R. Gayathridevi (Chennai, India) Email: gaya3ram83 [at] gmail [dot] com Being a die hard movie buff has its own set of highs and lows. I went thru all of it watching Gautham Vasudev Menon’s much hyped Vaaranam Aayiram on Sunday the 16th of November at Kasi Theatre. This is the first time I am catching a movie so early after its release – in...

  • Four years and recounting – Pithamagan
    It was October 2003 when audiences in Thamizhnadu (Tamil Nadu for uninitiated) were swept away by cinematic brilliance of Pithamagan. Personally it was one movie that made me realize that movies need not be all beginnings, middle and endings, not to say that this movie broke any rules of cinematic grammar. There is more to a movie than scripts and lightings. There is more...
