Happy Married Life Yuvan Shankar Raja
Sep 1st
He began his musical career in films almost 16 years back while he was hardly 16. Growing up in a family with a father who is considered as the best music director in the film industry, Yuvan has attained a neat spot for himself in the Tamil film industry. Some of his best tunes have been melodies.
The USP of Yuvan songs is, his ability to get the pulse of youth and make them wave with his music. For this birthday Yuvan is in the midst of two bonanzas! One is the release of ‘Mankatha’ the music for which he tuned. The audio as well as the film is having a blast at the box office.
This birthday will be more special for Yuvan who will be getting married tomorrow (September 1st), to Dr. Shilpa. The composer who will be taking marital vows for the second time round seems to have taken the right step on his personal front according to family and close friends.
The marriage of Yuvan and Shilpa will be taking place from Tirumala Tirupati tomorrow where the top brass of ‘Mankatha’ are camping. The composer will be throwing a reception for close friends and for people in the industry on September 2nd at the Hyatt, Chennai.
As Yuvan grows a year older this year, there is going to be an adorable addition in his life in the form of a wife. We wish this young and talented composer many more happy returns of the day and join his many fans across the state in wishing him a happy married life for tomorro’s wedding!
Happy Birthday Genelia Darling

Kaavalan Review – Movie that Save Vijay’s Future
Jan 21st
Just back from the cinema…Kaavalan was good, Vijay in Different role. as a Malaysian Indian… my review as below. This review from Havinaash who from Malaysia as well… im totally agreed with his review. so im post it to share with you all.
Here we go:
From first and far most, I would sincerely thank the director Siddique for such a new experience in a Vijay’s film, not like the usual mass commercial entertainers, Vijay has really selected a very good script after so many years, and Asin has done an awesome character in the movie. Kavalan had so many problems for its release here in Malaysia, fans were always checking out the cinemas since Christmas 2010, after then they said New Year, after that they said Pongal, and now the bodyguard has occupied nearly 50 theaters and cineplex throughout Malaysia.
After watching this movies trailers, pictures, & songs I definitely felt that this was an unusual fare for a Vijay’s film, when the film was released this afternoon at 3PM in Malaysia, I went for the first show to see what was the “SOMETHING DIFFERENT” in this film, and after the 2 hours and 30 mins of ride in the film, I realized EVERYTHING WAS DIFFERENT. Nice Love Story as well.
Producer (C.Romesh Babu) – Thanks for the faith that you had in Vijay and the courage to face all the problems along with the team and struggled for the release, a producer’s biggest hard work is to successfully release a film but in your his case it was massively tested for a first time producer. Hats off for your hard work sir!
Dialogues (Guruvaran) – His dialogues are really hilarious when it comes to the Vijay-Vadivelu-Asin combination, very touching after the interval, and made people shed tears in the climax of the film, and not even one single PUNCH DIALOGUE could be found in the film. You really rocked!
Stunt (Stunt Siva) – OMG ! You are the man ! After so many illogical fights in a Vijay’s film, finally you are certainly the savior for his films. No flying scenes, no chasing a 2500cc car and manage to catch it by running, but there was a fight scene after the Vinnai Kappan song that had fire when Vijay kicked the gangsters and another scene was the sliding bike scenes that was kind of out of the range. BUT overall you have certainly made Vijay’s image to a successful one. Keep it up sir!
I would like to add here. why there is some directors like to see their heros to fly here and there?? it not logic as well… and thats make the movie to flop. for example, in kuruvi – vijay fly from another premises to the railway track. and in sura movie – intro like dolphin coming out from the water. its vijay actually who is swimming. totally silly to watch. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR STYLE OF DIRECTION.
Cinematography (N.K Ekhambaram) – You have proved once again the crisp angles and perfect cinematography as the film needed with your creativity, the stunt sequences after the Step It Up song was awesomely shaped, the songs are highlighted because of your camera angles in the songs especially Sada Sada, Pattampochi and Step It Up was awesomeness! The entire cinematography of this film rocks!
Music (Vidyasagar) – After the B2B success with Vijay (Ghillie, Madurey & Kuruvi) Kavalan’s soundtrack is certainly a different one, no dappan kuthu, no hard music, no build up lyrics, it was just a perfect, soft, and melodious album from Vidyasagar for the first time in a Vijay’s film.
All songs are very suitable to the movie.
The songs Sada Sada, Step It Up, Yaaradhe Yaaeadhe and Pattampochi songs were simply awesome, the best part in the film regarding the music was the intermission scenes background score, 2nd half background score and yes certainly the music stole people’s heart in the climax. Awesome sir! - Agreed.
Director (Siddique) – I would start of by saying that the only director who used Vijay to his core, it started in Friends and now Kavalan, what more can I say, his story, his screenplay, his direction proved that he is a seasoned director who knows what people expect from Vijay, and yes sir as your tagline “Something Different”, you have proved it.
Not to forget VADIVELU who keeps the movie in the right track…without people get bored. His comedy with Vijay was awesome… You will laugh and laugh when you meet them both them together. Really.
And Asin, her role was good and performance is superb. Im sure she gonna rock back in kollywood. Good Luck Asin.
Finally,
Vijay – I didn’t expect a film from Vijay who have performed like this in a love story, a 36 years old man who made mostly everyone leave the theaters with tears, you have really changed the way you act, and you have changed your dressing style. Yes, finally you have changed your hairstyle in the songs, and has finally stopped flying from here and there. FINALLY, I CAN PROUDLY PULL MY COLLARS UP AND SAY “IM A DIE HARD VIJAY FAN”. You certainly made it sir. Your expressions and the way you portray yourself as Bhoominathan was very touching. Hope to see your more changes in Velayutham and upcoming films. All the best , 2011 is yours.
VERDICT : A surprise from Vijay and Asin, please do hit the theaters for a film like this.

Aadukalam Review- Awesome
Jan 15th
Its Ponggal’s 2nd movie for me. As promise, the aadukalam team doesnt disappointed anyone. its the story of the reality. How the small issues creates problems to our life.
Resorting to rural milieu is not something uncommon in Tamil cinema but the director has justified the usage of his premise ably. Having said that, he has employed myriad human emotions like unquestionable trust and the breach of it, loyalty, pain, anguish, manipulation and remorse to convey his tale. Rearing roosters, maintaining them and using them for fights are a way of life and a matter of honor and lifeline to many people.
G V Prakash’s music elevates Aadukalam and intensifies the effect over the audience. Songs are rightly placed and none of them are contrived. While Otha sollaale makes the audience boogie, Ayyayo and Yathe Yathe’s melody enthrals them. His BGM during the pre-interval rooster fight slowly reaching the crescendo adds up to the suspense quotient and the spiralling frenzy. The action sequence especially in the climax is realistic and credible. Velraj’s camera travels to nook and corner of Madurai areas and sucks in the audience to the film.
On the flipside, the film is a tad lengthy in the first half and there are patches of slowness but they are few and far between. It is evident that the director has resorted to graphics for rooster fights to abide by the rules of animal welfare board.
In all, Aadukalam is an attempt that requires appreciation where the director has hackled his way through the path less trodden with aplomb. Aadukalam reiterates that Vetrimaaran belongs to the league of film makers who has understood the semiotics of film making perfectly.
Fyi, in that movie got alot of uncensored words… even some censored, i duno how would be the movie if they didnt censored some bad words from the some scenes… even got the words like”pun…sun…myre….” jz for your info only… but its a nice movie. everyone should watch. Njoy…
Siruthai Movie Review – Rocket Raja
Jan 15th
Well well well…. Happy Ponggal to everyone. Pongal means new movies for me, as said… this year pongal we have siruthai, adukalam, and kavalan. But i didnt see any kavalan movies here. I mean in malaysia, mayb late abit i guess. Anyhow, i will give some of my own opinion regarding siruthai movie with another website’s review of the movie.
Karthi seems to be having a dream run in Kollywood. He is like a batsman in in prime form smashing all deliveries to boundary. As long as you are not ready to complain that ‘Siruithai’ lacks logic, the film would work big time, as it is an out and out commercial fare.
As one can see, the movie has enough potential to be presented as a no-holds-barred entertainer. Instead, the director borrows the Telugu version’s garishness and manages only to translate (sometimes even transliterate) the dialogues and comes up with a banal stereotype of a movie. To muffle the questions that would arise out of the language that is being used, the director inserts a disclaimer at the opening of the movie stating that it’s for the benefit of the viewers that every character speaks Tamil although most of the proceedings happen in Andhra Pradesh. But he conveniently forgets the other questions that would arise out of unreasonable sequences that fill the movie. Those might never be answered.
In the little time he’s allowed to be on screen, Santhanam manages to break the movie hall into laughter with his wisecracks. Karthi and Santhanam complement each other as well. Tamannah is just another pretty face in the movie and has absolutely nothing to do other than look pretty and dance gracefully. She also seems to be willing enough to flaunt her navel area, much to the delight of Karthi and her fans. Which brings us to the songs; all of them seem to follow the same beat and are equally humdrum.
The movie is also riddled with crude dialogues; it would still have been tolerable if they were used only for comedy, but in the name of villainy the movie throws in some cringe-worthy dialogues and scenes that are sure to make the women in your family squirm in their seats.
Stunts are like okay very hardcore type. But then the jumping form 10 stories building is too much. because he jz land with his 2 legs with out any hurts….
Songs are jz nice and the videography is nice as well. i can say, its like expected from karthi’s & tammanah movie.
Siruthai is a mass movie. commercial movie with comedy, santhanam have done his parts very well till the end. Mass movie lovers and karthi’s fan. Please watch the movie and enjoy… even you can go for santhanam as well.
