Gautham Menon’s next Tamil project will be with Jiiva. Pairing up with him will be Samantha. The director has decided to direct an action-romance flick and has found Jiiva to be the most suitable for this. This venture will go on floors once Gautham is done with the Hindi version of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya.
Manoj Pramahamsa may wield the camera for this venture. Gautham has decided to retain Rajeevan (art director) and Anthony (editing). The icing on the cake for this venture is AR Rahman. The Oscar winner has been roped in to score the music for this flick.
There is a huge buzz surrounding Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan. Kalki’s epic classic has captivated generations of Tamilians and continues to do so. Fans of his work are anxious to find out who will play the characters that are deeply ingrained in their hearts. So far Vijay, Mahesh Babu, Arya, and Anushka have been confirmed for the project.
In recent times, Mani and A.R Rahman have teamed up together to create memorable music and so it was believed that they would come together again for this mammoth undertaking. But there were reports that Rahman is far too busy with international projects to be a part of Ponniyin Selvan.
However, sources within Mani’s camp insist that it will be Rahman who will be doing the music. It must be remembered that Mani had wished to make Ayutha Ezhuthu without music but Rahman would not hear of it. He came up with some magnificent tunes and convinced Mani to include the songs in his movie. This time also the two legends will work together and hopefully the results will do the Tamil film industry proud.
This is such a great movie,well of course its Mani Ratnam. But WOW, the whole cast brings it to life be it Surya,Maddy,Sid,Esha,Meera Jasmine,or Trisha,they just add life too it :) I actually think all three of the heroines dubbed for themselves. Even Esha sounded like she dubbed for herself :). I heard that she knows Tamil cause of her mom Hemalini. :) This movie is an eye opener for hypocrites like us to stop talking and do something, no offense. Loved the music too, my favs were Nenjem Ellam (awesome lyrics Vairamuthu) :) , Yakkai Thiri, and Jana Gana Mana(Powerful one). But the whole soundtrack was exceptional :D AR RAHMAN WOOO!! ! :) Keep Scrolling down for my fav scenes :)
Ughh hate the part where Sid gets beat up! and when Surya is all wounded !
If I were you, I would watch the whoollee movie :) Cause The WHOLE movies is beastly :)
Some ScreenShots: I'm pretty fluent in Tamil, but watched it with Subs anyway, but really didn't need it. But looks cool to take screenshots with subs, cause the dialogue is down there :D
CAUTION: This is going to be a very LONG post. So don't complain :P Be Patient,Thank You :)
This movie is one of my most favorite Tamil movies, it ties/competes with my other most favorite movie Alaipayuthey. :D I love this movie soo much, its the movie I started liking Surya alot, LOVE THE MOVIE.....
***Spoiler Alert: If you haven't seen the movie don't read the story but read after :) !
Story: Gautham(Surya) and Kundavi(Jyothika) get married, both are moody on the day of their marriage. Six years later we see them happy with a daughter named Aishu/Aishwarya( Shriya Sharma). Gautham goes on a business trip to the US. During this time Kundavi finds his old diary, and finds out that he was deeply in love with Aishu/Aishwarya(Bhoomika), the daughter of a local MP of where he studied(Coimbatore). When they decide to marry, and Gautham is tying the last knot on the thali of Aishu, her father comes and bashes him up. He is hurt real badly, his friends search everywhere for Aishu, but they can't find her. Just when Gautham is about to go search for her, his uncle, who has always been taking care of him, falls down the stairs. Before his uncle dies he tells Gautham that his wish is for Gautham to marry Kundavi. Which he does, or else he wouldn't be a good person. At the end of the diary he writes: " If I had a wish it would be to live with Aishu for atleast a day, it will feel like I have lived with her for a yugam". *End of Flashback*. After finishing, Kundavi is in tears. When Gautham gets back, she doesn't act right with him, she is sort of angry around him,and avoids him. One day she finds Aishu and brings her back. Aishu has been in Australia for the past years Its a huge surprise for Gautham when he sees her at his front door, all changed. She is a total contrast from the shy, salwar kameez girl from college. Kundavi tells Gautham that she really loves him and she wants him totally and that she read his diary,tells him that he should live happily with Aishu for a day. He is shocked! Kundavi leaves with their daughter.When she gets back she sees a letter from Aishu that says: "Dear Kundavi, You gave me one whole day with your husband, but all we needed was an hour; 40 minutes of silence, 10 minutes of formal inquiries, and 10 minutes to talk. Even in those 10 minutes all he talked about was you and how you completed him. Now I see how well you've merged in his life and I dont want to disturb your happy life as I see how you two are immensely in love. Gautham is yours for this birth but he will be mine for the next 6 births. I have always loved Gautham, and I will love him in my next birth too. But not as Ishu, but as Kundavi. " The movie ends in all happies, with Gautham and Kundavi uniting.
I found this movie to be a twisty, because of how Kundavi tells Gautham that he could spend a day with Aishu,which is weird. Normally, I thought Kundavi would act like nothing happened when he was gone.
Surya was definatley AWESOME! He rocked,he transformed perfectly from that rugged looking dude in college to the family man years later. He looked soo cute in the flashback of the movie, with his highlights and toughness :D He was AMAZING in the emotional scenes, like the ending :) Jo,(Jyothika) was cute and adorable as always :D Acting was great too :) :) She and Surya looked cute together, of course :D And wow she can cry really well :D Its sooo realistic! And now to my favorite character in the movie.......Bhoomika! Oh my gosh! She was my fav in the movie along with Surya! Bhoomika and Surya seriously made a stunning pair! No I'm not kidding, though Jo and Surya are a real life pair, Bhoomi and Surya are a great on-screen pair! :D They were just mind boggling in the song Munbe Vaa :) Sorry, just can't stop talking about them :D.... God, but I was crying a well, when they had to split like that :'(...... ughhhh its soooo sad :( I always cry at that part, Jo's dream about Bhoomi and Surya at the dining table. and at the ending when Jo is reading the letter she wrote :'(. Bhoomi came out with a good performance, she improved in this Tamil movie from her last ones. :) I wonder who dubbed for her? I think it was Chinmayee who did, but I am not sure.. Bhoomi was very cute in the flashback, but then turned all punk since her character demanded it after the flashback. But she was AWESOME :D Loved, Loved her :D As you can see, I am always emotionally attached to triangular love stories. I hate it when the first girl love gets lost, or she can't convey her love for the hero,just HATE it. I end up crying for these types of films. I mean I know its just a movie but I have seen it happen...(NO JOKE). But I don't know why, I just love this movie a ton...maybe its because of Surya,he carried the movie so well,thanks to director N.Krishna.But still he rocks :)
I would say my most favorite parts of the movie is the flashback of Gautham's college days , when Gautham sees Aishu after 6 years, and Kundavi's dream. :) :) I really hope Surya and Bhoomika act together in the near future :))) .
The music is definitely spell-bounding.. AR Rahman even won an award for the music thats how awesome it is!! ( Filmfare!!) Shreya did too for her singing in the movie(Munbe Vaa) and a Tamil Nadu state award for the same :D My most favorite Tamil song will ALWAYS be Munbe Vaa, cause as mentioned before I am very emotionally attached, and I am to this song too. :) LOVE LOVE the picturization and Surya and Bhoomika in the sonnngg, great chemistry between the two :D LOVE the song totally :D :) All the songs were romantic so LOVE them all :D My favs in order(start from most fav/most listened to) - Munbe Vaa,Machakarri,New York,Maaricham Yaaro,Kummi Adi,Maaza Maaza,Jillendru Oru Kaadhal. :D
They either didn't film Maaricham Yaaro or they did and cut it out, but here is the song:
(Good quality but IDK what lang. subs)
( Good quality video, but IDK what lang. subs)
Couldn't find the video of the song Jillendru Oru Kaadhal:
Not to forget the Lovely BGMS! :
Munbe Vaa or the BGMS ALWAYS end up being my ringtone :)
Now for My most awaited part in the posts!! MY MOST FAV SCENES!!! :
Love Bhoomi's expression ;)
Just watch the expressions of Surya in these scenes, priceless (Bhoomi's expression too :) ) .......:
Fav scene in this video : 0:13-1:45
*** Yes people, I actually have a favorite Surya and Jo scene in the movie :D
Surya's cool intro ;) :
Watch from 3:14 - 4:10 (Surya's expressions) :)
Watch from 6:01-10:13and from 13:02-the end ( love the bgm :D) OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS COMPLICATION!! ITS JUST SURYA AND BHOOMIKA :D :) ( Non-Indian song)
Cool Remix I found of Munbe Vaa:
A couple of questions I have about the film: 1. Did they shoot some more scenes, but cut them off????? 2.In the movies Gautham and Kundavi's daughters name is Aishwarya too, so does that mean Gautham named her after his first love, Aishu? 3.Did Gautham ever think about Aishu after his marriage? 4.What was Gautham about to ask Aishu before Kundavi broke the glass?? 5.Since, Gautham was in his second year of college, does that mean he had to discontinue it after he got hurt badly and marry Kundavi? 6.Why does Aishu tell her friend not to tell her father, that Gautham hit her in the face on purpose?
What Caught my Eye in 2006 ( When I didn't know Tamil back then):
-Nuvvu Nenu Prema-( You,me,love)
I remember it released in 2006, toward the end of the year. I also bought the audio in India when I was on vacation that year. Something told me, that this movie is gonna be breezy and sweet,maybe it was the title,the background color,or Surya putting his arms out in the rain...
Final Thoughts: I don't think Asin could have done better than Bhoomika, if she actually took up the role. I think so because, she doesn't have the insane amount of innocence, look-wise, that is needed. Bhoomika was adorable, and then she smoothly transitioned into a punk,hard girl. No one could of replaced Surya or Jo in the movie either, they were just right. :) To me Bhoomi's character stuck out more,then any other in the movie. And once again, AR Rahman SIR you rock! :D
I Love to watch the trailer even now :D
There are some scenes in the trailer like where Bhoomi is running in the yellow salwar kameez which is not in the movie, so I feel like they have cut out some scenes ......
The makers of superstar Rajinikanth's latest blockbuster Enthiran(Robot) are definitely under fire!
After a Tamil writer Aroor Tamilnadan aka Amudha Tamilnadan filed a complaint with the Chennai Police Commissioner, claiming that the original story of Enthiran was lifted right out of his short story 'Jughiba', veteran Telugu novelist Mynampati Bhaskar came forward with a similar claim, alleging that the movie is a direct lift from his novel 'Budhi Jeevi', published in 1984.
The Telugu author, who claimed that the makers have copied even the jokes and dialogues from his novel, has already sent a legal notice to producer Kalanidhi Maran of Sun Pictures, director Shankar and hero Rajinikanth. The latest buzz is that Mynampati is demanding a 'mere' Rs. 50 lakhs as compensation for his story (Tamilnadan is demanding double the amount -- one crore). However, industry critics state that these claims are for the sake of money and free publicity.
The global success of ‘Endhiran’ has made Shankar a hot cake in Bollywood. While most of his films were already either dubbed or remade in Hindi, attempts are now being made to take ‘Boys’ to Bollywood.
Besides Shankar, another advantage the film has got is its star cast. For Siddarth and Genelia, the lead players of the movie, are popular faces in the north. Adding more to it is the music by A R Rahman.
All these factors have combined together to dub and release the film in Hindi, sources say. It is said Bollywood veteran Abbas Tyrewala will take care of Hindi lyrics and dialogues.
“Sri Suriya Movies, which produced ‘Boys’, has started working on the dubbing process. Accompanied by aggressive promotions, the Hindi version of Shankar’s product will make its way to screens soon”, sources add.
HAHAAHA Thats meee!!!! LOL! :D Just, so you know I do not think Im Ash, just made it for fun! :D :P You can make yours here : http://apps.facebook.com/igavatar/
There are Rajini ones for guys. But, make sure you have a Facebook account!
The Title explains it ALL, but I wanted to review the AWESOME movie after watching it, so here it is :D.
Story(Only some)- Vaseegaran(RAJINIKANTH) builds a robot named Chitti(RAJINIKANTH), he has worked hard on it for 10 years. It knows EVERYTHING in this world, EXCEPT emotions. But, when it has to be taught emotions, under circumstances, Chitti himself changes. Thats it! Now Watch the movie ! GO!!
Okay, firstly the credit goes to Director Shankar, for making such a mesmerizing , memorable movie. :) This will be THE movie, and is the movie that will and has changed Indian standards. I really hope that people will, follow in Shankars foot steps, yet have there own zest. :) He is and, has always been ahead of our time frame, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Its very cool to know that he had this idea TEN years ago(hint-hint). And then Its The ENTIRE CREW, I really don't know each and every person though, but with out them this movie is sort of nothing!
Rajinikanth- (SUPERSTAR) The name says it ALL! :D Man, this dude was insanely breath-taking. Its stunning to watch, how fast and right he changes his body language from a Scientist to a Robot. Man!, even though he is 60, he can STILL dance!!! Awesome in Arima Arima ,Irumbile Oru Idhayam and of course the Chitti dance showcase. The way he says the dialogues, is incredible! especially the robot ones :D It was AWESOME to see A MILLION Rajinikanths at once! A very different experience :D ) He was great as Vaseegaran and Chitti :) There is something different about, he has charisma that doesn't change no matter what his age is.I must say again, he is the Superstar of Cinema AND Mankind. :
Aishwarya Rai(Sana)- Finally we see Rajinikanth and Ash together, for the first time! After, soo many date problems! Phew! Good acting done by her part too. :) They both make a great jodi(pair) :). Yes, they do, even if Rajini is 60, and she is 36 :) In the beginning of the movie, she looked old for some reason.? But, then she looked gorgeous! :D I liked how they didn't make her over expose :), she was just right and pretty. Dang!, she has awesome dancing skills!!! In Chitti dance showcase, and Irumbile Oru Idhyam she rocked ! Especailly in Irumbile Oru Idhyam, she did awesome Robotic dance movies :D. AND, yes she has a very IMPORTANT role in the story, she is not just there to run around trees and expose. :P no kidding. Her costumes were exquisite, sooo pretty :D. She made them prettier :D
PudhiyaManidha- They show the building of the robot, Chitti, and teaching, or should I say programing a bunch of things into him.
KadhalAnnukal- Was shot in a sandy place. Sorry, don't know the exact location.I think sand got into Ash's eyes, cause her eyes were red during the song. Its very scientificy :D
BoomBoomRoboDa- Just how Ash and Rajini spend time with Chitti. :) Its so sweet :D, its when you, as an audience, start to develop feelings for Chitti. :)
ChittiDanceShowcase- Its when you see Rajini and Ash doing AMAZING , and MIND BLOWING dance movies, thanks to the choreographers :)
Killimanjaro-Its a very tribal song, so tribally costumes and tribally dance moves, but good and fast ones. It was shot in a Tribal environment, at Machu Picchu in Peru.
IrumbileOruIdhyam- The song when Chitti develops feeling for Ash. Also, my second favorite song. :) The dance moves , were like WOAH! Very robotic, so they were cooooollllll.! Great job done by Ash and Rajini. The background was very techno. :D
Arima Arima- This is my most favorite song! :D Song where "Chitti" and Ash appear, in a kingdom like setting,which is again very techno. This is the song where you see more than 100 Rajini's at once! :D cooolllll right? :D
The BGM of Arima Arima, is what I really want right now, it was playing I think in the last 30 minutes. Its also in the official trailer, towards the end. I liked how it was dramatic :) :) The BGM was as great as the songs, it was smooth and didn't interfere with the dialogues, or scenes, it was perfect :)
My Experience: My face was like this the whole time: :O ! No kidding! The last 1hr-30 minutes was MIND BLOWING!! WOW!!!! Shankar makes me very proud! I was so happy to see Ash back in a straight Tamil film. :) Though Raavanan was sort of a straight Tamil film, it didn't seem like it. Loved Rajini in the film and Always will love him :D The only reason that I learned Tamil is to watch his movies :D( but I watch others too). I have been on Endhiran Hangover ever since I have seen the movie. :D Shankar has taken Indian Cinema to higher standards, and I am proud our Superstar was part of it :D I'm not gonna spoil the review by saying my fav scenes :) I will post them in maybe two months :) Now, I think Bollywood Officially sucks DOT May I say again? RAJINIKANTH ROCKS!!!!!! :D :D !!!!!!
Dub: Also, was dubbed into Hindi as Robot and Telugu as Robo.
Piracy: Please Do not do Piracy, I mean its Thalaiva guys! Its RAJINIKANTH! Cut him some slack ok? At least stop it for him! He is an amazing and a great person, so don't hurt him by doing Piracy!! PLEASE! JUST STOP IT!
Bottom Line(s)- Do not give a Robot feelings. Watch it or you will regret!
NOW GO WATCH IT! THE TAMIL AND HINDI VERSIONS HAVE SUBTITLES SO YOUR GOOD! :)
Gautham Menon’s next Tamil project will be with Jiiva. Pairing up with him will be Samantha. The director has decided to direct an action-romance flick and has found Jiiva to be the most suitable for this.
