Questions

Questions are not easy to ask

Don't agree?

Asking question need real understanding of the subject, than what is usually assumed other way around.
Questions cannot be stupid, while the answers can be.

Every Question has an answer. One may not find the right answer for a question.

If you imagine someone's knowledge on a particular subject like an 'Jig-saw' puzzle. One asks question to fill the missing blocks.

I found this joke somewhere online
A teacher in a class asked the class a question.'There are three birds sitting in a branch of a tree. If I shoot one bird, How many birds left?' An enthusiastic student raised his hand and started answering 'Nothing! Because once you shoot one, rest would flew away'. Teacher grinned and said 'No, that was not the answer I expected. But I like your thinking'.

Annoyed student, asked Teacher a question. 'In a park bench there were three women with ice cream. One was licking the ice cream, one was biting it and one was sucking it. Can you tell me, out of them which one is married?'

'The one sucking the ice cream?' Confused teacher answered doubtfully
Student replied. 'No, Actually the one with the wedding ring. But I like your thinking.'


Yeah there were cases in my life where 'Asking questions are easy'
In my academic project review, the reviewer asked 'Why did you wrote another OS when there are already lot of them available?'
When I started this blog people asked, 'Why do you need a blog?'
When I started reviewing movies, they asked 'There were already bunch of website doing this. why you?'
Why are you not married yet?

Have you experienced it? share it in the comments....

Maatran - MyView

சூரியா வின் அடுத்த ரெடை(ரெட்டை - 'ட்' ஒட்டிகிச்சு :) ) அவதாரம்.

Trailer, பாக்கும் போதே light'அ அருவெருப்பா இருதுச்சு. ஆனா சூர்யா மேல இருக்குற நம்பிக்கைல theatre போயாச்சு. Release ஆகி மூணாவது நாள் மதியம் show வும் houseful 'அ ஓடும் பொது கொஞ்சம் நம்பிக்கை அதிகரிக்க தான் செஞ்சுது...

அரம்பிதேலே genetic, conjoint twins நு ஏகப்பட்ட medical terms.(7ஆம் அறிவு வோட அது part தான் இந்த படமோ நு ஒரு சந்தேகம் கூட). அப்புறம் Hero introduction, love எல்லாம் one by one வருது. இதுல அவங்க அப்பா கம்பெனி நு கதை சுமாரா சூடு பிடிக்கிற டைம் ல  ஒரு செம fight  scene.

குறை  சொல்ல முடியாத அளவுக்கு அவளோ அருமையா, real அ எடுதுருகாங்க with the dual roll mixing.அங்க தான் கதைல ஒரு பெரிய twist. ஒட்டி இருக்குற ரெண்டு பெரும் பிரிக்க படறாங்க, இங்க interval.


ரெண்டு பெரும் பிரியற அப்போ track மறுன கதை அதுக்கு அப்புறம் தறிகெட்டு எங்க எங்கயோ ஓடுது. Russia, Russian army நு போயி கடைசீல Gujarat ல வந்து  முட்டிக்கிட்டு நிக்குது. முடிவுல தமிழ் திரைப்பட சம்ப்ரதாயம் படி சுபம்.

காஜல் படம் முழுக்க வராங்க ஆனா நேர வேலை என்னமோ அவங்களுக்கு dumbing பெசுனவங்களுக்கு தான்.

சூரியா போன படத்துல China கரன் கிட்ட சண்டை போட்டார், இந்த படத்துல Russian Army கூடவே சண்ட போடறார். நல்ல முனேற்றம். இவர் இப்படி தேச பற்று அதிகமாகிறது பார்த்த இவர் கூடிய சீக்கிரம் அரசியலுக்கு வருவர் அப்படினு பட்சி சொல்லுது. சூர்யா அப்படி வந்தீங்கனா எல்லா பொண்ணுங்க ஒட்டும்  உங்களுக்கு தான். (தேட்டர்ல அவளோ பொண்ணுங்க )

Jokes apart, சூர்யா ரொம்ப ஒழச்சி இருகார். படம் ஒடுசுன(!!!) இவரால மட்டும் தான்....

கே .வீ . ஆனந்த் உங்களுக்கு பாட்டு எடுக்கிறது idea வரலைனா விட்டுங்க. கொஞ்சநாள் கழிச்சி உங்ககுகே எந்த படத்துக்கு எடுத்த பாட்டுன்னு மறந்துரும். Harris Jayaraj உம் வெட்க படாம அவரோட பழய பாட்டையே  போட்டு time, cost, cd, memory, film, எல்லாத்தையும் வேஸ்ட் பணிட்டார்.

Director அடுத்த படத்துக்கு எடுக்க வேண்டிய scene கூட இந்த படத்துல எடுதுடரோ அப்படினு தோனுச்சு. அப்படி பட்ட மொக்கை second half. First half ல எதாச்சும் அறுத்துகிட்டு இருகாங்க. மோதல எலி, அப்புறம் ஒரு ரஷ்ய பெண், அப்புறம் சூர்யா. Second Half ல பாக்குறவங்களை அருகிறங்க. Operator எங்க மேல பாவ பட்டு கொஞ்சம் cut பண்ணார் இருந்தாலும் படம் ஜவ்வு.

மாற்றான் வெட்டி தான் .....

Thandavam - MyView

The movie has a very familiar story. We have been seeing this for ages. All they have done is packed the old wine in a new bottle with fancy packings.

But to the fact, the wine tastes good. I meant the the movie :)

Vikram a veteran actor has no flaw in his acting. But looks aged in all frames. May be to suppress that, they have showed his eight packs(although not at all required). We have already seen him blind but this time he fights the dark and bad guys. The technique is totally new and impressive[the only new thing in the movie].

In the movie, Vikram gets a temporary name 'Kenny', which is his real name.[Info]

Two heroines, already left me the clue that one must be dead in the past. Not to my surprise it was true.

Anushka also looks older, but makes good pair with Vikram. Emmy Jackson does her part well. But lip sync was not taken care like 'Madrasapattinam' .

Music is very average. In all songs, GVP has reused his old tunes. Nothing much to comment.

Santhanam appears in few parts of the movie and he has underplayed.

Screenplay after intermission takes off, but with predictable patterns the interest fades. The flash back part was composed to be enjoyable as-usual. But we cannot accept that a arranged wedding with out knowing each other. I mean Now a days, a girl watching mega serial at home does lot of verification (they collect pay slip, blood test, urine test etc) for a marriage. How come a doctor working away from home accepts for a wedding like this. But director has used it for few scene building.

Naazer, is depicted as an intelligent detective with a casual approach.

We see lot of disputes over this story(someone claim it was stolen), which is obvious for a very common story and plot.

You can watch this movie, if you had seen all other movies released.


Sundara Pandian - MyView

Another deep south movie.
A composition of love, fun, friendship, revenge and happy ending :)

Movie starts with the description of Usilampatti, its history and culture.

Sasikumar, needs to be appreciated initially for introducing lot of new technicians(Director, Art, Editing  etc). And as an hero he is ready for punch dialogue based hero subject. Soon we can expect him so. All symptoms confirm it.

Hero introduced by a song (to be on safer side keeping the dance movements simple, the co-dancers are oldies :)). Then the story moves by our road side romeo and his friends. And a love enters his life. The way heroine was depicted is a fresh impression.

Heroine(Lakshmi menon) is a good selection for the character, she has utilized all scope and impresses audience. Lets wait for her performance in Kumki.

'Barrota' Soori confirms the comedy part. Comedy which doesnt deviate from the story flow.

BG Music and songs sounds good along with the frames on screen. But they fail to impress me when heard alone. Hope some good track from Raghunathan.

Though in few places story was predictable, Screenplay is an important strength in the movie. Which binds the loose parts together.

Hero is betrayed by his close friends, by which he nearly goes to death bed. Then he hold firm and returns the revenge back give us clue the movie is about to end (also when AC in theater is switched off and fans are turned on...)

With no competition and good movie to stand against, Sundarapandian is hit and good option for this weekend.
