Its our mistake

Recently I been to USA.
Few of my fellow friends know this.

It was the west part of the continent. And it was a growing summer. Driest and hottest in the year.
I stayed for three weeks, and the maximum was 113 degree Fahrenheit with 5-10% humidity.
You cannot just roam around in sun with out protection creams. Sun burns would be for sure if you don't.
 Rains are very heavy and for very less period. The ground is so dry and hard, it cannot absorb the water. Most of the time floods into nearer river to reach the sea.

The above text were to give you the verbal picture of the landscape and region.

In the weekends I got chance to travel across the state to visit few places. I got shocked by the window side scene. It was jaw-dropping. In mid of that dry land I saw thousands of acres of agriculture land. Not Just that, they have cattle too.

It was really amazing and bunch of questions crawling in my mind. How do they grow this? What is the irrigation source?

After these questions attack, a great shame feeling stuck me.
In a very dry, hot landscape, where water cannot be stored for longer duration, they managed to grow crops. We in India  comprising 2/3rd of agricultural land, farmers complaint lack of monsoon, government funding, etc.

I don't say they are not important, but there is still more important stuffs which we need to cultivate. Commitment. If we don't save our farm lands, our next generation are in great danger.

Already we started importing food grains. Agriculture lands being swallowed by realtors.

I really don't know the solution for this. But I can ask 'Who's Mistake is this?'

Saguni - MyView

A very non serious movie, with very serious movie plot.
Director/s thought is very bit outdated. Because with the same story line we had seen a movie 'Dhool' 10 years back.

With their own definition of commercial movie, songs pop-in, some times fight. I really like the story telling screen play for initial 20 minutes, which was the conversation between Santhanam and Karthi. As like the conventional commercial movie formula, hero succeeds in all his moves and actions. This reminds us that we watching an 100% commercial movie.




Karthi has shown a good output in acting. He has chosen this story to become a commercial hero. But I believe, his performance level will go down if he continue to do so.

Pranitha, was just paid to be in three songs. And for a happy ending climax. She does that well.

Prakash raj, as-usual shouting and doing gunda's politics. This time he got promoted to CM. He should seriously change his presentation techniques or directors should approach him with different implementation. I am kind of bored with him.

Santhanam, I see him as a silver strip in a torn 100 rupees note. Director has done some cello-fun tape patch works to sell it.
It works in some place.

To increase the pace of screen play, few shots were cut. Editing was so awkward and we know few of the place they chopped them.

GV Prakash, has more than three 6-8 number with tape drums in all of the songs and in BGM. None of the songs neglect to enter mind, few not even ears.

Without wasting much time, I conclude. This is neither a must watch movie, nor a waste of time movie. If you are really free and don't know what do to in this weekend, plan for this. Otherwise no worries, you loose nothing.
