  • V.Shekar’s dilemma

  • Thalapathy- Tale of a modern day Karna
    /*  Spoiler  Alerts The  Mahabharat  has  always  been  one  of my  favorite  books.  It  is  like an  ocean  for me,  the more  you  know of it ,  the  lesser  you  still  know  about  it.   And  one  of  the  most  fascinating  characters  in  the  Mahabharata ...

  • 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...
