Samantha flooded with offers

 

The pretty Samantha had two releases last year. She made a brief appearance in Gautham Menon's super-hit film Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya which had Simbu and Trisha in lead roles. She also debuted as heroine in Tamil films with Baana Kathadi opposite the lanky Atharva, son of late actor Murali, who also debuted as hero in
Kollywood with the film.

Her latest Telugu film Dookudu opposite Mahesh Babu has been declared a super-duper hit. Following the success of the film, the actress is said to be flooded with offers from Kollywood film-makers to star in their films. She is already playing the lead role opposite Jiiva in Gautham Menon's Needhanae En Ponvasantham which has
been in the making for the past some time now.

After last year's moderate hit Baana Kathadi, Samantha didn't get as many offers in Tamil as per her liking and she, therefore, moved to Tollywood where she got a handful of offers. This year has been particularly good for her with Dookudu proving to be a super success at the box-office. Reports emanating from Tollywood say that she has now hiked her fee to Re.1 crore per film.

Now that Samantha is being courted by Kollywood's leading producers and directors, it is hoped that her second innings in Tamil would turn out to be as successful as Anuskha's. It may be recalled that Anushka, after starring in Rendu opposite Madhavan more than five years ago, was overlooked by Kollywood which patronized her in a big way after the super-success of Arundhati couple of years ago!

Super Star Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan appreciates Ezham Arivu

 

Ezham Arivu is a film produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin under the banner Red Giant Movies. This film which has Surya and Shruthi Haasan in the lead roles has been directed by A R Murugadoss. This film which was released on Deepavali is running to packed houses.

Cinema News from TamiloMovie.Com

This film speaks about the greatness of Tamil and Tamilians. Super star Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan has seen this film. On Deepavali day, Rajni along with his family members and Prabhu's family members enjoyed this film at 3 pm in a preview theater.

After the film was over, Rajni was speaking to Surya for a long time and has appreciated him for his good work. He expressed to Surya that this was a wonderful effort. Similarly Kamal Haasan also saw this film in a preview theatre on 25th itself and described this film as an extraordinary film. He also appreciated the cast and crew for their wonderful work.

Race on to determine the next ‘dream-girl’

 

Ever since Tamil cinema came into existence, heroines are always looked upon as 'dream-girls' by their fans and the movie-goers. The status of the so-called 'dream-girl', though, doesn't last for more than a decade; one of the top heroines continues to occupy the slot which gets vacated when the particular heroine becomes 'older' or falls out of favour with the heroes, producers and directors.

More often than not, the heroines who are able to act as well as maintain a slim frame tend to become 'dream-girls'. Right from the days of Khushboo in the nineties and then Simran and Jyothika till today's generation of heroines in Nayantara and Tamannaah, some heroine gets slotted in the 'dream-girl' status by her ardent fans.

Heroines starring opposite leading heroes and in highly successful movies automatically become the most sought-after ones. Among the present crop of heroines, those who vie for the 'unofficial' status of a 'dream-girl' include the likes Anushka, Hansika and Amala Paul, not to discount the likes of Tamannaah and the ageing yet pretty-looking Trisha.

Those in the reckoning like Anushka, Amala and Hansika have only a handful of films on hand and have some way to go to be considered a full-fledged Tamil heroine. As such, the slot of 'dream-girl' still remains vacant as of now and it remains to be seen as to who would occupy this coveted position in Kollywood in the near future!

Cinema News from TamiloMovie.Com

Priyamani while speaking about this said, "There are news that I am getting calls and SMSs from some people and because of this I am disturbed. Nothing like that has happened. It is purely imaginary.

Gowtham Menon says that his relationship with Samantha is purely professional

 

When asked Gowtham Menon about the rumors linking him with Samantha, he said, "My fate is like that. Earlier it was Sameera Reddy and now it is Samantha.

Cinema News from TamiloMovie.Com

I should be worried about these rumours only if the people around me and my family members believe these rumours. I don't have that problem. Samantha is the heroine of all the versions of the film Nee Thane En Ponvasantham.

Samantha is a much matured girl now. She is not the same Samantha which I had seen few months back. Now she is astounding us with her excellent acting. She completes her scenes in a single take. She has got a very strong market in the Telugu film industry.

Producers are so crazy about Samantha. They say that they want Samantha as their heroine for the films they produce even without signing the heroes. My relationship with her is purely professional and apart from this there is nothing special."

Thalaivasal Vijay says that Malayalam industry has given him recognition

 

Actor 'Thalaivasal Vijay' has donned the role of Sree Narayana Guru in the Malayalam film titled Yuga Purushan. The Kerala State Government has announced the award for 'Thalaivasal Vijay' for his best acting in this film. Speaking about this, he said, "I have acted in more than 150 films in Tamil.

Cinema News from TamiloMovie.Com

Though I have proved my mettle by acting in various characters, I did not get proper recognition here. But Malayalam film industry has given me a big recognition. Director Sukumar asked me to don the role of Sree Narayana Guru. This role was supposed to be done by Mammooty.

I came to know later on that after acting in this role, he rejected it by saying that he was not suitable for the role. In this same film, Mammooty has donned the role of my protégé. Mammooty after seeing the film said, "You will not be forgotten until till the last Malayalee dies." This shows his humbleness. The Kerala State Government has also announced an award for me for my best acting. I am really happy. Now I am getting lots of offers in Malaylam."

7am arivu review: "Linking the plots fails to make sense!!!"

 

Diwali is one festival which is looked forward to much gusto & mirth by Tollywood as it believes that the box office will also be metamorphically lit up. As one would expect, almost all of the major stars will inevitably have a movie on this auspicious occasion. This time around, its the much famed Suriya-Muragadoss-Harris Jayaraj combo's latest offering "7am arivu" which has caught the audience's imagination. After having enthralled the audience with "Ghajini", it's quite natural that the masses would settle for nothing less than a blockbuster. But can they live upto the hype???

 

 

If we browse through the pages of history, the first thing that strikes us is the undeniable fact as to how instrumental our country has been in contributing to the history of mankind be it science, maths, wealth, culture etc. But unfortunately, we Indians have a mindset that pastures on the other side are greener. Interestingly, Muragadoss has touched upon the topic of Bodhidharma, creator of the renowned Shaolin martial art who was believed to have hailed from the Pallava dynasty in Kanchipuram (6th century) which beyond doubt exhibits the ignorance of many of us.

 

Bodhidharma (Suriya) renounces his royalty & leads the life of an ascetic before settling down in China. Here, he imparts wisdom regarding medicinal plants and trains them in martial arts till his last breath. Fast forward to the present day, where China is involved in a fierce cold war with India & on the back of which they come up with Operation Red on whose completion they believe will have India on its knees. They entrust the task to Dong Lee (Johnny Tri Nguyen) along with the mission to eliminate the researcher Shubha Srinivasan (Shruti Hasan). So what was Operation Red & why was Shubha's death so necessary for the Chinese???

 

 

Muragadoss has come up with two interesting sections within the movie, one dealing with Bodhidharma & the latter on the present day crisis. The first 20 mins which dealt with Bodhidharma was outstanding to say the least & raises the expectations of the audience. But what then follows is a downward slide which finally culminates in a disappointing climax. Though the Operation Red idea was interesting, Muragadoss's attempt to connect the past with the present was whimsical. It might also due to the fact that I am a researcher, due to which I found many of the sequences totally absurd like seeing DNA though a microscope etc.

Cast & crew at the music launch by Dhanush

Coming to performances, Suriya was outstanding as the ascetic exuding calmness & wisdom while his present day avatar didnt have much scope other than flexing his muscles. This is one movie where the villain gets as much screen space as the hero & Johnny totally deserves it for his cold blooded attitude mingled with being drop dead handsome. Shruti Hasan has finally managed to come up with an act which deserves a word of praise after some forgettable movies. As for other aspects, Ravi Chandran's visuals were stunning while Jayaraj's music were hummable but the BGM for the villain left a lot to be desired for.

 

Verdict: There are no prizes for guessing that the film will garner an outstanding initial owing to the reputation of the crew & impressive promos. However, the loopholes in the script coupled with some repeated sequences such as the mass hypnotism will act as a dampener. In short, there is no harm in giving it a try if you dont pile up your expectations!!!

 

Regards...Ben
