Raavanan-Watch it for Visual treats and if you are Mani sir fan,i'm sorry

Raavanan-Well,its not movie review its my view.Well what to say,Am one of the die-hard Mani sir' fan.But i never watched his movies in  theatres .Since i realised myself that i love this man and his movies,I was very eager in the release of Raavanan and watched it on the first day first show.I must say it was a very different experience for me..I want to share it.. So here it is,lets go...


    As usual ,his movies' dialogues can be clearly audible only when we watch in headphones with a clear dvd. we could never expect it in theatres..Why mani  sir.. why.. There are many directors who could still make it natural with clear dialogue deliveries like Goutham menon,Balachandar....Paathi thaan kekuthu...

 Then i'll come to the songs now.Mani sir is famous for getting nice songs from the music directors and picturusing it in a beautiful way like people say they are awesome treat to watch.Rahman indeed gave some nice numbers here but i got cheated in songs also..Hot song of the past two months Usure poguthey came at the wrong time but it was picturised superbly.. it was pleasure to watch it.. the beautiful Ash in athirapally water falls,thanks to the cameraman Santhosh sivan,who i say is the real hero of the story.Well that too ok but the biggest shock for me in this movie is that my favourite song actually many people's favourite Kaatu sirukki didn't come in picturisation..What a song.. what a composition.. how well the singers Anuradha sriram and Shankar Mahadevan sung and how nicely Vairamuthu written the lyrics.. I was longing for it to see in picturisation as it is the best Mani ratnam who can only picturise it in the best way but it just went as imagination.. Ya but to speak,there was no place in the movie for that fast number and he is not some other director to put a song unnecessarily in a story like they are in a dream..Well Rahman sir could have given it to Shankar for Endhiran i feel..Kodu potta song is ok only on the screen and Keda kari song was similar to yaaro yaarodi song in their previous combination Alaipayuthey.. So that also didn't impress me much.. And the pacifying thing was the song Kalvare kalvare which has a very nice tune,voice by my favourite Shreya Ghosal and  great lyrics by Vairamuthu(But lyrics in pallavi could have been better) and the song is also excellent on screen,thanks to choreography by well known Bharathanaatiyam dancer Shobana,Ash made it the best screen apperance(Nobody is better than Ash in it ) with some entertaining Bhaarathanaatiyam dance movements and Prithivraj also looked hansome.




  Then coming to the story,screenplay and dialogues department,story is obvious.Mani sir's portraying of characters was always nice and even if it is a five minute character there was always some meaning in it.Here although he tried to show the ten different behaviours of the hero Veerayaa depending on the situations,it wasn't so interesting.. He is not doing anything ever since he kidnapped and fell in love with Ash ie..,Raagini..He is behaving as good even Raagini also didn't like. All of them in this film are good people and as obvious,if all are good someone has to die in order to conclude the story and that's what happened here too. So it is not typical Mani sir movie.Thrill and twist in the Mani sir movie is missing and the film goes like we guessing (very ordinary).Screenplay was very short. Just a two hr movie so not much things are dealt here..Sir,we need a complete film from u..Even if fours hrs needed,we are always pleasured to watch it..Mani sir himself is a very good writer with great dialogues.But he gave second chance to sushasini,his wife after Iruvar..dialogues are ordinary not much to speak..Absence of Sujatha really played here.



Background score by Rahman was fabulous and the real hero and  heroine are the locations and the cameramans..Mani sir movie is always notable for its cinematography and it worked here too(The only director who shows India beautiful,not like others going to abroad for songs).


All the three Vikram,Ash and Prithivraj did a very good job and particularly Ash was excellent in every scene giving beautiful expressions,thanks to dubbbing artist Rohini ,who is also former actress supported this Raagini's role with a sweet voice ( i saw Seetha in Ash )..Karthik and Prabhu were decent..The touching scene is the climax with a superb acting by Vikram and Ash..Vikram saying like "Intha aasaiku,intha santhosathuku ethume eedu ila..ithuku orey theervu enoda saavu thaan,naan thirumbavum unakaaga varuven"and Ash trying to prevent him from death from the hands of his husband.It was so touching in which the film ending with Rahman singing the final song "Naan varuven"...  


Surely it is not in the top 10 best Mani sir movies and noteworthy to watch once..For that one name Mani Ratnam,we forgive him and wait for his next creation :)

WHY PEOPLE ARE....

Well,i said i meet you all after my exams.But, i wanted to post it today(now) having undergone some hard situations.I'm scribbling it with some anger and regrets.Please apologize if i do it wrong.


Some people are simply awesome.They seem to have gone up a step in the ladder in order to boost up my life a little more. In fact, it works!!.As time goes, you do learn how to overcome such wonderful beings in your life.This may sound a typical thing but seriously there are people who can go over a greater extent of annoyance. They drive you crazy. I like people who come straight to you and say,"Listen I am not very happy with this and I wanted you to know this......" like that. But I have had no one saying this to me. At least not yet. But people who talk about you simply because they are jealous and to get over their burning jealousy, they end up talking about you.

From my point of view is really, don't ignore them, but don't react to them. Just move on with whatever you are doing. If at a point you think you need to have a word, go ahead. There is a threshold point somewhere up until when you have to be very patient and take-in but its not your fault. I would have no regrets in losing one number in my list of contacts, who is not an at least average honest being. This will in turn add a number to my happiness.

I am learning....learning about people...Doing it to overcome those who are trying to induce my emotions and time.This post is dedicated to my best friend Asha and people (mostly girls) who used to worry to the core when people curse on them having no fault on them!!!!

INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS-WELL,IT MATTERS!!:)

I took time to post my first scribble.Was thinking of what else i 'm gonna start with....Having started a blog,its not good to keep it very clean and safe.God!I have to scribble something...Help me...YES YES, i got it..Why thinking of some extra-ordinary topics to discuss...Just take a simple problem which we are facing most commonly(talking about my community!!:)) and scribble in it..Yes ,its the internal assessments which we are facing every month.I described it as a problem since we are not wishing it to face..


First,lets go back to our school days.In school life,as we are Anna University students,we are usually well and good in studies securing top ranks or else not below 5 or 10.We used to spend more time in studies studying with some ambition like i should get a seat in ANNA UNIVERSITY...Yes we are here today!!!!!....

The kind of love and passion we had for CEG is no more here now..Why?!Its better to stop blaming on the other sides of ANNA UNIVERSITY...You are provided with an opportunity to establish yourself with the given facilities(enough,better to think of utilizing rather than dissatisfying).We have wide area of works to do here.But first comes the ACADEMICS.When it comes to academics,there comes the internals!!!

As we are busy all the year with commitments like messaging(major work),talking to and about the opposite sex,browsing(don't think we are browsing to gain knowledge),listening one song N number of times,watching and downloading movies,sleeping and all.My kind of people do all these things but will regularly attend the classes and during the assessments only they start to study.We, then and there going ,taking xerox in the evening,after having a dinner,we sit for study but will strive to our level best popularly called 'sleepless nights'.Then after a week of assessments,we restart our enjoying of college life.Here there are many classes.Don't think am going to describe classes of power amplifiers as am electronics engineering student!!:)
CLASS A
Studying constantly all the time scoring good marks(TAKE AN EXAMPLE).
CLASS B
Even though studying all the days,scoring average marks only(POOR GUYS,not having exam luck or BAD TIME).
CLASS C
People with some inbuilt talent to come up with great scores though studying for few hours(NEGLECT THESE PEOPLE)!!!
CLASS D
People studying on the deadline scoring compartively decent marks!!!(BELONG TO MY CLASS)
CLASS E
Then comes the last class neither studying anything nor attending the classes(WASTED CEG SEATS).


Although we every time during the assessments feel the point ,"Cha  had I studied it before,this subject is nothing da.I should start studying regularly from the next assessment".But we wont do.As always, we carry on with the useless works mentioned earlier.

I never say entertainment shouldn't be there.Extra and co curricular activities shouldn't be there.Well,that is the part of our CEG students to be able to excel on everything.But i personally feel that people belong to my class should take a care of their ACADEMICS.Coz they know if they study periodically means they will get good GPA and all.They are able to put effort studying at the last time but why can't they put it from the beginning..Yes,belonging to this class,am thinking thinking thinking...But lets better implement it from the next semester onwards!!!

Meanwhile, we have our end semester exams right  to our neck.Catch you all after the exams through my next post..ALL THE VERY BEST FOR THE EXAMS.!!!:)
