It was a campaign titled "Happily Single" which was launched by and Hyderabad-basis online dating portal QuackQuack. (Have to thank them for their awesome photographs. Hey Guys..!

17 Crappy Things Indian Parents Say To Get Their Kids Married

 

(And the 2 hindi captions were)

Gal : Before this girl bring shame to the family, get her married.

Boy : log kya kahenge (what world will say?)

 
Only in our Indian Ethnicity people will be asking questions like these....

1. WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING MARRIED YET?

Shooting this question to an unmarried girl, who have crossed the age limit of getting married, as though there is an age limit has been set by GOD or government.

2. ANY GOOD NEWS? ARE YOU GUYS GOING FOR ANY CHECK UP?

Usually, this type of question will be asked to long time married couples who are praying every day to get baby after going through many struggles and pain in their life. They ask this very frequently wherever they meet them, as though they are willing to become their baby's surrogate mother.

3. I HEARD YOU ARE DIVORCED? WHY...? WHAT HAPPENED?

And shooting these questions to a divorcee who is just getting recovered from their painful life they went through. They are asking as they are ready to let their daughter or son to get married to them.  

Yeah...yeah...yeah....I can hear you saying "Hello...! It's just a simple question...!"

YES...!!! It is a simple question for those who are asking it, but you may not know how hurting is that to hear the same questions.....again and again...not only from you...but from many as well....yet they still need to answer it without hurting you...! To help you understand their situation more easily...It's something like you are asking a bald-headed man "hey, why there is no hair on your head?"  

So moral of the story is...

When you don't have the solution for it, why waste time asking for the reason. So always spread the positive words...! It may lift you up and lit up other hearts as well.

The Impossible

I watched "The Impossible" movie yesterday. It's a story about hope, believe and never ever give up. I love this type of movies. It is something like Frozen, Sanctum and Life of Pie. Of course, very touching and I cried for many scenes. Scenes where the mom who got cuts and scratches at her breast and at thigh (till the muscle come out and bleeding) will be dragged by village people and help her wear clothes.

The vomiting "things" at the hospital, phone sharing to call family members, Lucas' (the elder boy) answer when asked to identify his mom's jewellery (he won't say yes coz think that they will inform that his mom was dead, and if he said no, he might don't know what has happened to her). And the most touching part till my nose gets so hot and I can't hold my tears was the scene, where the both younger brothers run towards his elder bro..screaming Lucas..! Lucas..! Lucas..! Makes me wanted to scream too.."LUCAS...turn back..your brother are there...!!" :(((( Memang sedih giler ah part ni..! I closed my mouth and cried for this scene. 

 

Not only me ok...:) I heard many weeps in the cine hall. The real Tsunami fear was at the last part where they show how the mom got strucked by the giant waves! Since its a based on a true story they will put the actual family photo who survived from this disaster when the credits rolled. The movie ends but many stayed back in their seats in silent and wiping their tears. I am writing about this movie, today evening because it gave big impact towards me. Early morning when I wake up the first image captured on mind was the mom's wound on her body. This movie teaches about how precious a life is, the meaning of family, love, reunion, hope, pain and the fear of being "alone". Should not be missed..:)

Shruthi Haasan looks like Princess Diana...?!

Yeah...! Its my strong statement of course...! I felt in that way. Shruthi really has some similarities with our Late Princess Diana. When watched her acting in the movie "7am Arivu"...it doesn't strikes me. Maybe Surya overshadowed her..haha...:) But after watched movie "3" today... I have very strong feeling that she have the look of  Lady Diana. If any directors wish to make movie about Late Princess Diana, please consider Shruthi Haasan...yar! She can portray that character very well...! I miss that lovely Lady Diana....happy to see her in Tamil version. 

Don't Believe Me....Okay please look at this pics..

7aam Arivu..! I am still searching it in me....:)

Movie : 7Aum Arivu
Cinema : Seat Q1, Hall 2, LFS State PJ
Time : 6pm
Date : 01.11.11

First, let me give a grand salutation..."KUDOS...to the director A.R. Murugadoss", for bringing the Tamizh cinema into new era. Such a bravery attempt, hard work and so many researches for this one movie...! What a mind blowing story...! Speechless for the first 30 minutes. Awesome creation of the year..! This is a movie that every Indians from every where in the world should watch..no its a MUST WATCH movie. I felt like finish reading a book with 1000 pages in 3 hours.

I am not going to discuss about the plot here coz you can find it at wiki. Click link below
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7aum_Arivu#Plot

So what am I going to discuss here then...hehe lets read it..:)


Surya as "Bodhidharma and His Introduction"
The first 30 minutes about the full life history of Bodhidharma will really make you feel goose bump. Surya as Bodhidharma or "Damo" has acted well and really improvised himself to fit the character accordingly and perfect. This "Damo" Surya will remain in your heart forever. Real shame on Indians for not knowing "who is Bodhidharma?" (especially at the interview session). Shocked to know the creator of Shaolin Temple was the Indian King who went from Kanchipuram (Pallava). We had lost him to others. I got mad at Bodhidharma when he ate the poisoned food. At the ending of the introduction, the phrase "China, Japan, Thailand le koyil katti kumbidare oru Tamizhanai ethanai Tamizhanukku teriyum?" was really powerful.

Surya as "Aravind the Circus Guy"

Since the "Bodhidharma" Surya played the biggest role in this movie, "Aravind" Surya (the descendant of the Bodhidharma) definitely won't touch your heart that much. Some of his comical scenes will make you laugh, such as theme park photo snap, returning back missing hand phone, elephant riding, when giving puppet to Shruti and explained to his friend that "I love you" is something like "Today is Wednesday"...yeah yeah all these scenes are fun..:)) Something to praise about Surya is he learned the martial art and equally performed with Johnny(villain actor) who is the 4th generation of the martial art master.

Shruthi Haasan as "Subha the BioTech Student"

A pretty doll. She is not sexy but she looks so graceful, sweet and intelligent. Perfect casting for the role. She will reminds you Katrina Kaif. She has her dad's eye, mom's face cut and her cousin sister Anu's voice. Good dressing sense, looks gorgeous in churidar and kurti. Done a good acting in her very first Tamil movie (not like aishu in jeans). One of her crying scene (when she got to know her friend Imran is dead) will remind you Kamal's style (the famous Nayagan crying tone..ah..ahhh..)

Johnny Tri-Nguyen as "Dong-Lee the Assassin from China"
Honestly speaking he stole the show in 2nd half of the movie. The perfect and first class villain. There is no Sumo or Ambassador chasing, no "gundas", no "paanparak", no "arival", no pistol and no punch dialogues. His only weapons is his eyes, which he has been using it for "Nokku Varmam" (hipnotism). Acted well and about his stunts...no arguments, coz done a great job.

What about songs? Yup..I wanna talk about that too..:)

Chinese Song

Very melancholic. The mother and daughter scene was very touching. Appreciate if it's fully in Chinese version. Half of the song which sang in Tamil lyrics spoiled it actually. Make me to think does "Damo" taught them tamil too..other than martial art and make medicine ??

Oh Ringa..Ringa..

An intro song for Surya. He will be dancing with 1000 dancer in a public place. Plot is to promote his circus show. But once I saw this clip, I remember the "Tribute to MJ" dance, where the dancers will be mixed up in public places such as street/shopping complex. Once the music started all of them will dance together.

Mun Andhi ChaaralilKarthik's voice will make you melt and dissolve and Krabi Island was heaven.

Yemma Yemma Kaathal Ponnamma..
The lyrics, the music, and legend singer SPB voice..all are perfect for 2011 best love failure song. BUT...in this movie, this song is not needed at all. Clearly we can see, that Subha is not in love with Aravind and she never ever tried to tackle or seduce him too. So I felt that the video clip of the song is a total waste. This song will reminds you " avan enna enna thedi vantha anjala" from Vaaranam Aayiram.

Yele Lama...
Out from the situation. Can you imagine..rock style romantic song...while you were waiting at the bus stop in the mid of night, knowing that you are being assassinated. Song clip similar to "Ooh Aayiye..Aayiye" from Ayan.

Innum Enna Thozha..
Good song at the rite timing. You'll get provoked.


Not minus point...only my Dissatisfaction okay...

1. Sincerely there is no chemistry in between Surya and Shruti. I don't feel any magic in between both of them on the screen. Nor when proposing love neither in any lovey dovey songs...such a waste. I think it would be fine if their relationship is just like Surya and Nayan in Ghajini.

2. At the time when they discuss at cemetery how to fight back the villain, why does the idea of research process on Surya's DNA came out only from Malathi? Isn't it Shruthi who have done the thesis for the past 3 years and struggled a lot to find out about Bodhidharma and his descendent should voice out first? That scene make dull shade on Shruthi who shined in the beginning.

3. It would have make sense if the climax fight scene starts, after the 12 days of complete experiment on Surya's DNA. I know its Biotech Engineering issue. And I'm not a Biotech student as well. But its slightly not logic at all, to expect a positive result when you stopped an experiment in half way. Rite or not..?

4. The nerves activation in Surya's body in the climax fight scene..reminds me "Ratchakan" movie.

5. A big question, does the eye colour will change too...after the DNA activation?

6. The car accident graphics are too obvious. Get bored with the lengthy accident shot.

Overall...
This is still the best movie for me. Even though I'd mentioned few of my dissatisfaction, all that were faded away in front of the marvelous story creation by director. ARM, you are another Manirathnam.

Mankatha..Worth 500Crore..!

This is our 'Thala' Ajith's 50th movie, Trisha's 40th movie and Venkat's 4th movie. When talking about Venkat the Director, I should mention here about all his movies are comedy based.

i) Chennai 600028 - Sports spirit comedy

ii) Saroja - Thriller comedy

iii) Goa - Romance comedy

iv) Mankatha - Action packed comedy

In this movie Ajith with his half greyed hair, sparkles as Tamil version of George Cloony with his stylo-milo act and excellent performance, accompanied by Arjun of course with his superb fighting stunts. These 2 "A"s are really rocks! Beautiful Trisha will be sizzling on the screen for maximum 30 - 40 minutes. But her Punjabi suits will be sizzling all the gals mind after watching the movie. Including mine, yes right now...especially the one she wear at the beach :) I think most probably that fashion will become this year Deepavali's promotion suit. Mark my word..!

The other famous faces are, Andrea, Lakshmi Rai, Anjali, Vaibhav, Premji and Jayaprakash. Then there are 2 newcomers Mahat Ragavendra the wine shop owner who resembles actor Srikanth and Simbu. And Ashwin the Sub-Inspector who resembles "Aasai" Ajith and "Deala no Deala" Rishi.

I find this is the only multi-starrer Tamil film featuring top stars had equally and suitably characterized their (actors listed above) role with their importance on this movie. There is no dragging scenes or bragging songs which usually comes in Super Hero movies. Only in this movie you'll be laughing when one another killed themselves for money. And believe me only in this movie you can watch Vijay's recent movie clip, hear Surya's famous name, Kamal movie's famous dialogue, and listen to Superstar's expensive song....Can't believe it...hahaha..Mankatha..da!

The only minus point of this movie is Ajith smokes a lot...A LOT..! And there are many foul languages been used. Even though its muted, but still you can read their lips. Since it's a gambling based story and more over its a "male-oriented' movie, so there are strictly no rules and no comments about it :P

Watch it if you really need a break and watch it if you really like "Fast 5". Semma chasing, semma fighting, semma comedy, semma climax, semma jackpot...! Chance eh ille...! It's not a movie...IT IS A GAME. Superb Mankatha Game..which worth 500 Crore of enjoyment and laughter. But the ticket price is only RM 10 yar..!

Wait..wait..wait..!! My humble request don't ever and ever and ever take your butts off from the seat once the credits rolls-on in the cine screen . Its a big waste if you missed the "making of" scenes. Its hilarious. You will see the real character of Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar. Especially when taking the group photo of police academy, when Vaibhav admits he didn't hit Ajith, how Ajith cracks jokes when the serious scene being on shooting. Its all fun. You'll be amazed to see how friendly and genuinely Ajith enjoy working with his co-star Arjun and other youngsters in the movie without any ego.

I am not his fan or anybody....but really salute to him for being such great human being. To all the "Thala" fans...you guys should proud of yourselves for being is fan. At last no least....after watching this movie, definitely many of you will start to say..."I'm so impressed"...! Okay then...tata..bubye....:)
