Kites

The movie Kites failed miserably in box office. I am still trying to figure out why??. Kites and Ravaan were released this summer from Reliance BIG Pictures. Though i can understand the movie ravaan and kites follow the same backdrop where the actor and actress are running around and the goons trying to catch up...

IMHO ravaan lacks substance in the making, all characters were hyped and had subtle performances.

Where as, i see mature Bollywood output in Kites. Ranging from the stunts and the clean storyline the movie wins my interest. I was more connected to the movie because of the chemistry between hirthik and barbara.... I could feel the moments when an hispanic non english speaking girl dates an Indian guy. Yeah thats right you can hear me singing La Roux's Bulletproof. Barabara was very natural and cozy playing Linda. I bet there would be handfull of someone around here who would say thats a nice movie to watch....

Back to form

Which means am getting lot of vetti time here. Its been a long long time since my last post. Anyways now i have something in my hand to post it up. Guess what Dasavathram. This is the movie i was long awaiting. and now here it goes with a great flop...
My expectations are all unsatisfied with this average movie. There are lot of things that went wrong in this movie. Though the movie isn't gud enough but its now a great buzz among the online community. Too much of talks, reviews, comments and explanation about this movie are hitting the www. So after all being a great fan of Kamal, why should i be left out.

Everyone must be having a story to this show. Like booked it in the first week, paid triple the price, watched in satyam... for me it all happened on the day I received an email from sulekha abt its release dates. sooner booked the online tickets for the premium show at Newark Screen 6, NJ. I was all set and in time to the theater on June the 12.

I have some opinions which makes me feel this movie is a thrash.
I was very much annoyed by the CGI graphics and poor picture quality. Later I realised the poor picture quality is primary due to video composition to incorporate multiple kamals in the same seen. My point is if the video has to be so derogatory then whats the point in planning multiple roles. Kamal could have given a better picture quality with a single role. Theaterla VCD partha madri irundhudhu. I suppose the VV had a better DVD print. Hmm I had to get adjusted and continue further on this movie.
Next the cheap stunts by Rangarajan,, dialogues were pathetic and uninspiring. Kamal could have given better with this role. The graphics at sea were like watching ramayana of the 80s. I liked the song though.
Then the hero Govind and Asin. Asin was so irritating with her Perrumalea!!! her acting was not at all natural, especially falling in love with kamal within moments before the movie ends. Balram naidu is the only character who gets my applause. I read in other blogs and wanted to reiterate the same opinion that for most of the characters the makup was like the Jim Carry in Mask. Konjom brightness korachi riukalam to make it look natural. every damn charactor Japenese guy, fletcher, Patti, kafiullakan,,, enough.. I could not take any one more of it.
The graphics is the tsunami effect is being praised by some reviewers. I am an't moved. It was Ok and may be that's the best this movie can offer.
And at last the story,, I do not realize who the target audience were for this movie. Kamal had put up a script which wants to talk about chaos theory but fails. Common man cannot understand the tectonic plates explanation nor the chaos theory explanation nor the Pearl harbour, Hiroshima humour. And if Kamal has targeted this movie for the white collared people then I would say its not up to the mark. It fails in all the aspect I talked about.

The movie could have been put better if the story revolved around all the characters (like in Babel) and not the characters revolving around a simple predictable story. Hope Kamal rests with his experiment and does only in what he is really good, Acting.

Visa Power

With in a week after I dropped the required documents to the consulate. I got the letter from consulate asking for my passport for visa stamping. I didn't let my friends know about this, I was not sure about the ongoing jinx on my onsite chances. After 2 weeks I got my stamping done. I was then 1 step closer from getting to the land of opportunities.

Shortly after that I laid my papers(resignation) in Oracle and my last date was April12. I was happy to be there on the Oracle Apps day celebration. I had now one last good time with my Hyd friends and colleagues. And I cannot forget that wonderful evening. I did have another reason to remember that nite, I crashed my bike while getting back to home after the party :-). I had to repair my bike as it was broken due to crash and I just escaped with bruises and a swollen forehead. Yeah that's rite I had not put my helmet that night.. a serious advice "don't drink and drive". Anyways I believe that God was there with me that nite and spared me on that fateful evening. So I can live and shortly become Satish Harry from Satish Haridass.
In my next post I shall update my life in US as I left India for the first time ever (April 23) overriding my fortune teller forecast.

My Costliest Movie,

Take a guess, how much would I have spent maximum to catch up with a flick at the Devi theater. Hmm 3600 bugs,,, wondering why did I? Actually I took a return-flight from Hyd to Chennai to make it happen, that costed me around 3500 + 100 bugs for the actual ticket for the movie Paruthi Veeran first day, matinee show.

Wondering when did I became such a movie freak to spend this much on a movie. Though the movie was worth watching, but I wasn't in the city just for it, I had come to drop my documents to the Chennai consulate office and since it was a evening return flight, I decided to catch up with the movie on the day it got released. Paruthi Veeran - worth the money

Was this a hibernation? or mere laziness or may be I was just busy, whatever the reason.
I owe an damn apology to myself, not to web-log(blog) my diary. Hu la la, here I am back, to entertain my self and my dear readers.

For a quick recap it's been 9 months since my last post. And this is the my first post for this year
There's lot of changes going around me, so I have lot to update onto my blog. Let me push them here as in the order they happened to me.

Fortune Teller!!!

In the start of this year (Jan12), I took my H1B visa interview at the Chennai consulate. For my much disappointment I messed it up with the VO and he refused to grant my visa. I was heart broken; I remembered the fortune teller who's forecast said I can get to onsite only at the age of 30.
I used to get picked up by my friends on this. I thought the jinx is working out. But I didn't loose hope and kept my aspirations going.
For my amusement my consultant forwarded the required docs, that were needed to get my 221g (visa) status cleared. And I was all set to take up the interview on March 8.

1 year of blogging

Huh,,,, 1 year of blogging, I remember when it all started, last december (2005) when I was getting no work and also often into training . Thats where I decided to make use of my leisure time to write blog so others can waste their time reading it.

From there till nowI had been bloging, u know wht it means. I had been vetti till date. No wonder why did I change my blog title lately... though I had not written many post in this year but I beleive, the time I spent on blogging is considerably more than wht I spent for my profession work. ( hope my manager dosn't read this until my appraisal is closed!!!!).

And ofcourse I see work coming up, may be in the next couple of months I could double up my posting frequency!!! he he....
