WALT DISNEY TO PRODUCE KAMAL`S NEXT FLICK

U.S film conglomerate Walt Disney has approached 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Hassan for producing his next venture 'Marmayogi'. Speculation is rife that Kamal will soon fly to United states to begin formal discussions to carry the project forward. Kamal himself will direct Marmayogi and it is believed that the film will cost around 120 crores, which may be even more than the cost to incurred by Robot. If Kamal`s Dasavatharam which is billed as more expensive than sivaji, which was the most expensive film, it seems Marmayogi can do the same to Shankar`s next flick Robot.

It is for this film that Kamal has grown a beard and scripting for the film is on in full speed. The film has storyline representing the seventh century. The shooting of the film is slated to started by july this year. This film is bound to take Kamal places especially with walt disney producing this venture. Walt disney productions have long been searching for a good script to venture into kollywood. Though they have been co-producing a few films in the bollywood, they did not venture into south but Kamal script seemed to have impressed them. In all likelyhood the two superstars of kollywood are sure to take India cinema to the next level.

Kaalai - Review

This is Tarun Gopi’s second venture after ‘Thimiru’ and has been awaited with a lot of hype. Tarun Gopi, in his second venture ‘Kaalai’, has roped in young and happening Silambarasan and this has triggered the anticipation further. Tarun Gopi has worked out a script that has lot of twists and turns. The director has different threads, cleverly interwoven, to provide an engaging fare on screen. The initial scenes lead you towards a particular direction but a few other avenues open as the film moves on. Tarun keeps on surprising you right from the first scene, when Lal (Deputy Police Commissioner) is introduced as an auto driver. The surprises continue with other characters getting introduced. The confusion over the name Jeeva makes an interesting suspense as to who is against whom and why. Silambarasan is introduced in a typical way with a fight. A song, in which Nila sizzles along with white skinned babes, follows soon to make the introduction complete. Meanwhile the build up to Silambarasan’s character is made with much hype. You are amused to see everyone showing much respect to him as if he is the prince of a kingdom. Later, the mystery is revealed, when the Theni track featuring Seema, the godmother of Teni, is told. Silambarasan is determined to revenge for her death. The killer is the Deputy Commissioner. Incidentally (predictably?) his daughter loves the hero. The first half moves on with deftly playing with the confusion on the name and the second half shows how the all powerful hero completes his mission. Meanwhile you get to see some gals including the beautiful and curvaceous Vedhika dancing around with the Simbu, a smart dancer, in skimpy dresses. Tarun Gopi is successful in narrating the story with speed despite many loopholes and logical weaknesses. The way he has clubbed the various threads is commendable. However, many scenes resemble ‘Thimiru’. The hero coming to the city in the disguise of a student, a girl sending a troupe to catch him, and the fight sequence in bus stand have striking similarities with ‘Thimiru’. Moreover, the narrative is too loud and it lacks finesse. The hunting game becomes redundant after a point. The young director must think new ways of approaching the action films. Silambarasan handles the ‘omnipotent hero’ character with confidence. He works hard in stunt scenes but looks less convincing while taking on the hefty villain in the climax. Dancing is his forte and he hasn’t disappointed in the area. But he must seriously think over doing the stereo type action roles if he wants to develop his career as a multi dimensional hero.

Vedhika announces her arrival as the potential glam girl of 2008. The girl, with a beautiful and innocent face, has the right figure to take up the glamour roles. Seema is quite impressive as the godmother. She has succeeded in bringing out the power wielded by her through her eyes and body language. Lal’s performance is emphatic. But he looks uncomfortable in police dress. Sangeetha stands out in a meaty role with her powerful display of emotions. Music by G.V. Prakash is just above average. A couple of songs featuring Simbu and Vedhika are good.

The judgement: The director has given us an entertaining film but fails to make an impact.

Secret behind Vikram`s new avatar

We all may be wondering how Chiyaan Vikram suddenly looked so youthful. That was for the film kandasaamy where he plays a robin hood like character. The secret behind his young and charming face is an ayurvedic center in thiruvananthapuram in kerala. This center is frequented by so many celebrities like amitabh bachchan and rajinikanth. Under the course at this center, the person should stay at the center until the completion of the course and no cell phones are allowed and stress is relieved. It was after visiting this center he became so youthful that he is now.

Another Rajini movie?

Apart from Robo and Sultan, the warrior whic is billed as the biggest 3d animation project of indian cinema, Rajni has also committed himself to another film to be directed by P.Vasu and will be produced by Kavithalaya banner owned by K.Balachander. This film is a remake of malayalam film 'Kadha Parayumbol', which stars Mamooty. This film is about the friendship between a superstar and a barber. Pasupathy of Virumaandi fame is to do the role of the barber and Rajni will ofcourse play the superstar. According to the sources, the movie is to be titled 'KUSEYLAN'. Well, kuseylan was the friend of Lord Krishna in mythological stories.

Movie Review: Halla Bol is too idealistic

uch like his signature films Ghayal and Damini, the theme of Rajkumar Santoshi's latest Halla Bol is also essentially one man's clash with a corrupt system.

In Halla Bol Ajay Devgan plays Sameer Khan, a shallow Bollywood superstar who's forced to question who he really is when he witnesses a gruesome murder first hand, and realises the culprits will get off scot-free because nobody -- including himself -- will testify.

A scathing comment on society's apathy and indifference towards other people's problems, Halla Bol tends to be too simplistic, too idealistic and in the end too preachy to really make much of an impression.

The film's unarguably well-intended and has its heart in the right place, but it's nothing like any of Santoshi's best films because it's got a severely flawed screenplay, and a narrative that's straight out of the eighties.

Once a master storyteller whose screenplays served as guidebooks for aspiring screenwriters, it is ironically Santoshi's script for Halla Bol that's the root cause of all the problems here. The film's first half is too long and yet when you leave the hall for a breather during interval, you can't help feeling like the story's barely unfolded.

Santoshi takes way too long to establish Ajay Devgan's character, going into elaborate scenes to convey what we've understood in the first ten minutes already. Worse than that, the director takes too many cinematic liberties to get out of tricky screenplay situations, and as a result the film comes off looking way too contrived.

How do you explain that scene in which the protagonist's mentor, Pankaj Kapur, turns up suddenly in a truck, no less, to save the fellow from being crushed by the villain's henchmen under the wheels of another truck?

It's an implausible scene and doesn't fit in this film, in fact it's a scene straight out of the Transformers movie. It's ridiculous how we're expected to believe that a girl who sold a kidney to afford legal fees for fighting the case against her sister's murderers, would suddenly do a volte face in court, even under maximum pressure.

In all fairness, Halla Bol does have its share of dramatic moments that'll instantly remind you of the Santoshi we're all familiar with - that scene in which Vidya Balan, playing Devgan's wife gives the media a fitting reply when her husband's badgered with uncomfortable questions.

Or then that scene in which Ajay Devgan relieves himself on the floor of the corrupt politician's home -- these are clap-traps, and Santoshi knows exactly how and when to use them.

In the end, despite its best intentions, Halla Bol fails to drive its point home, and it's a pity because the film boasts such a brave performance by Ajay Devgan. I say brave because the actor sticks his neck out and takes on a character that few leading stars would have the courage to play.

Ten, perhaps twelve years ago Halla Bol may have connected with an audience raised on a staple diet of melodramatic films, but today, it's just a blast from the past. So I'm going with two out of five and an average rating for all this hullaballo over Halla Bol.

Taare Zameen Par moves ADVANI

Aamir khan arranged for a special screening of his movie taare zameen par, for some members of the BJP. After the show, aamir said,"for the first time i saw advaniji moved to tears". Mr. Advani too praised aamir for having made such a wonderful film and expressed his gratitude. He said that he saw a good movie in a long time. Atlast!, the sangh parivar praises aamir. We remember that the BJP stalled the screening of his previous movie Fanaa in some parts of India when he supported the Narmada Bachao Andolan.

SRK is B'wood's top tax payer, Akshay second on list

Shah Rukh Khan dribbled away in Chak De India and then danced his way to the box office with Om Shanti Om, and even now King Khan continues to deliver, but this time to the Income Tax Department.

The actor is reportedly the highest income tax payer for the second year in a row with an advance tax payment of Rs 27 crore that makes his income over Rs100 crore.

While SRK tops the list, the man with midas touch who had four successive hits in 2007 - Akshay Kumar comes a far second for having to shell out Rs 7 crore as taxes.

And if you were to put the whole Bachchan khandaan together then Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan along with the Big B emptied out around Rs 7.1 crore as taxes.

The other Khan to figure in this list is - Aamir Khan with Rs 3 crore.

But the one name that stands out in the list is that of singer and music director Himesh Reshammiya, after raking in the moolah for his surprise hit Aap Ka Suroor, Himesh will be shelling out Rs 2.1 crore for the government's coffers this year.

So if you had any doubts about Bollywood booming then we are sure this list would dismiss that altogether.

TALKING TAX: Shah Rukh paid an advance tax of Rs 27 crore, which makes his income over Rs100 crore.
