Ozhimuri

Ozhimuri- A review by Abu Thahir.


ഒഴി മുറി:

സത്യം പറഞ്ഞാല്‍ ഒരു കുറ്റവും കണ്ടുപിടിക്കല്ലേ എന്ന് വിചാരിച്ചു കണ്ട സിനിമ ഒരു കുറ്റവും കണ്ടു പിടിക്കാന്‍ കഴിയാതെ കണ്ടു തീര്‍ത്തപ്പോള്‍ വല്ലാത്ത ഒരു ഇഷ്ട്ടം തോന്നി ഈ സിനിമയോട്.

ഉസ്താദ്‌ ഹോട്റെലിനു ശേഷം ഞാന്‍ ഏറ്റവും ഇഷ്ട്ടപെട്ട സിനിമ നല്ല തിരക്കഥ നല്ല ഡയറക്ഷന്‍ ഓവര്‍ ഓള്‍ ഒരു നല്ല പടം.


തെക്കന്‍ തിരുവിതാം കൂറിന്റെ പഴയ കാലവും കാലികവുമായ സാമൂഹിക സ്ഥിതി വളരെ നല്ല രീതിയില്‍ പറഞ്ഞ സിനിമ.

ഒരു ഘട്ടത്തില്‍ തികഞ്ഞ മെയില്‍ ഷോവനിസം രേപ്രേസേന്റ്റ് ചെയ്യുന്ന സിനിമ ആണ് എന്ന് തോനിപ്പികുമെങ്കിലും അതെല്ലാം ആസ്ഥാനത് ആയി പോയി എന്ന് ഈ സിനിമ കഴിയുമ്പോള്‍ നമുക്ക് മനസിലാകും. മധുപാല്‍ തന്റെ ആദ്യ സൃഷ്ട്ടിയും രാജുമോന്റെയും ലാലിന്റെയും എക്കാലത്തെയും നല്ല പെര്ഫോമന്‍സ് ബേസ് ചെയ്ത മൂവി ആയ തലപ്പവിനെക്കാളും ഒട്ടും മോശമക്കാതെ രണ്ടാമത്തെ പടവും എടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു കുറെ കുടുംബ ബന്ധങ്ങള്‍ ഇപ്പോളും തകരതിരിക്കുന്നത് കുട്ടികള്‍ കാരണമാണ് എന്നും , ഭാര്യയെ പേടിക്കുന്നവരാന് അവരെ തല്ലുന്നതും എന്നുള്ള ചില സത്യങ്ങള്‍ വിളിച്ചു പറയാന്‍ മധു പാല്‍ ഒപ്പം തിരകഥ കൃത്തും ധൈര്യം കാട്ടി എന്ന് വേണം പറയാന്‍ . പിന്നെ വിവാഹ ജീവിതത്തില്‍ ഭാര്യക്കും ഭര്‍ത്താവിനും ഉള്ള സ്ഥാനം വളരെ നല്ല രീതിയില്‍ തന്നെ സംവിധായകന്‍ പറയുന്നുണ്ട് പിന്നെ തെക്ക തിരുവിതാം കൂറിലെ പഴയ കാല നായര്‍ സംസ്ക്കാരത്തെ വളരെ നല്ല രീതിയില്‍ തന്നെ ചിത്രം പറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു ചിലപ്പോള്‍ അതിനെയും നമുക്ക് ലിവിംഗ് റ്റു ഗെതര്‍ എന്ന് വിളികം എന്ത് ബന്ധത്തിന്റെയും വരമ്പ് ഒരു വെറ്റില ചെല്ലം അല്ലേല്‍ വെറ്റില ആണ് എന്നുള്ള ഒരു ദുരവസ്ഥ ഒക്കെ ഇത്ര നന്നായി ഇനി ആറം എടുക്കുമെന് എനിക്ക് തോനുന്നില്ല . മക്കള്‍ത്തയം മരുമക്കള്‍ത്തായം, താവഴി എന്നിങ്ങനെ പിടികിട്ടാത്ത സംഭവങ്ങള്‍ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു അതൊക്കെ കുറെ റെഫര്‍ ചെയ്തപ്പോള്‍ ഈ സിനിമ.ഒന്നും കൂടെ ഹൃദ്യമായി തോന്നി,

Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Jab Tak hai Jaan Review

Thought to watch a special movie on a special occasion, Jab hai Jaan is a special movie for all SRK fans and Yah Chopra fans.
As the title says "Jab tak hai jaan" we all will remember Yash Chopra for this Movie. 

It was much beyond my expectations, I mean not as boring as it was supposed to be.
Yes It has its captain, the man who taught the country of 100+ crores the art of romance, and yes he had King of Romance with him. what else you will get when there will be blend of these two? 
There cannot be a better way to portray a solid love on the silver screen. ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ has nailed that.
Shah Rukh Khan don’t really need words of praise or adulation; but go ahead and take a bow!.
 One who doesn’t know how not to love; one who instills in every heart the hope to be able to love – love unconditionally, love that doesn’t know its limitations. Sounds like I’m just out of a Yash Chopra movie? Yes, this had to be the one.
Yash Chopra has made a romantic movie taking care of pulse of new generation.


 
Plus points are less if I count and compare it to negative points.
pluses:
This movie is for all ages, all can enjoy, no vulgar dialogues were there(with time some vulgar things too goes acceptable by all).
With Samar Anand, the actor has brought another Raj Malhotra alive on screen. And a newer, better, improved version at Raj.
you will not find any sarees flying slo-motion in the air, but what it has is sheer, pristine beauty.
As Usual AR Rahman rocks.

Minuses:

You will find a lots of scenes that resembles "Hurt Locker".
The film appears a tad too long; at almost three hours, the "impatient, newer generation" might have to stretch themselves a bit.
Being enthusiast about Indian forces, I want to raise this question. "How can a person join Indian Army as Officer(Group A gazzetted ) at the age of 28?"
 


Overall, the movie is good, watchable, enjoy it (keep ur brain at ur home).

Yes u will remember Yash Chopra "Jab Tak hai Jaan" ..

Sadda Adda

Last night I dint had any other movies left in my collection of videos, then I found this film named Sadda Adda. I thought this will be an usual below average C grade movie and without much expectations started watching it.

But it turned out to be a complete entertainer..
After Pyar Ka Panchnama if I liked any movie in this genre is Sadda Adda, not as good as Pyar ka Panchnama but I am sure if u have ever lived in hostels or in a rented flat with your friends, a bachelor's home then you will surely find yourself somewhere in these six characters.
A really messed up dirty flat, but still they cook, share their happiness and more.

Story revolves around six job seekers in Delhi living together, their ups and downs in their life.
A good message that never lose to something or someone or for someone!!!.
Narration is in a comical way with full of situational comedies, each dialogues will remain with you until the film ends "Desh me aaj bhi corruption hai isliye tu bach gaya beta"(you have been saved only because corruption exists here in this country), my favorite one.

Watch it if you really want something entertaining and something related to your past or present life...

SHOLEY- some interesting facts


Sholay was released on 15 August 1975 in the Bombay region. It was first 70 mm movie with stereophonic sound.
Within few days of its release the expensive film was called a flop. Almost every critic and trade magazine said “Sholay” was a great and costly mistake made. India Today, Filmfare, Film Trade Magazine and many more had the same opinion about the movie.
“Sholay” was just about to be removed from cinemas because of low attendance figures, but suddenly after a few days attendance started rising with word-of-mouth and there were long queues seen at the advance booking windows.
Actually it can be said that the film in 70 mm was so Grand in its look & style that it took time for the viewers to grasp it. And then “Sholay” went on to make history forever.
This was the first film in the history of Indian cinema to celebrate a silver-jubilee (25-week) in its initial release at over 100 cinemas across India.
There was a rumor that many Black Marketers bought new Flats and Taxis from their earnings due to the grand success of the movie.

An innovative trick by the music company


Even when the film was being called a huge success, somehow the music was not selling.
Polydor worked on the reason for this and found that the dialogues of the movie had such a strong impact on the viewer that they were hardly remembering the songs. People could be seen repeating the dialogues of the movie in as well as out of the theaters.
Keeping that in mind, for the first time ever Polydor released different dialogues EPs with different titles. Mainly “Veeru Ki Sagai”, “Soorma Bhopali”, “Hamein Jail Jaana Hai”, “Gabbar Singh” and more which were an instant success. Till date the dialogues of the movie are in regular circulation in the market.
Dual Climax
In the original ending, Thakur killed Gabbar. The Indian Censor Board did not agree with the ending, saying that its like ignoring the law and this could adversely influence the young minds. So, a new ending was created that showed the police running in at the last moment, arresting Gabbar, and specifically telling the Thakur that only the law has the right to punish criminals. The original ending was restored in the 204-minute director’s cut. (which can be seen in some versions of DVDs available in the market).

 Amazing Facts

“Gabbar Singh” character was so famous that Britannia Biscuits made a commercial with Amjad Khan eating Biscuits. This was the first time that a villain character was used by a company to publicise its products. The advertisement was an instant hit in children and the sales doubled.
Hooked up by his character of “Soorma Bhopali”, years later Jagdeep himself made a film with the title “Soorma Bhopali” in 1988.
Viju Khote was renamed “Kaalia” forever after this movie.
Till date Asrani has to speak, “Hum Angrezon Ke Zamaane Ke Jailor” in his every TV and Stage Appearance.
Macmohan was so disturbed that his all scenes were deleted from the movie. But he may still wonder how only one scene and few words can be popular all over the world even after so many years. For a long time filmmakers kept using the name “Samba” in their films to gain popularity.
Many years later, Recently Amitabh thanked Dharmendera on the stage of a prestigious award function for recommending him to Ramesh Sippy for casting in Sholay.
The first scene to be shot was the one in which “Amitabh returns the safe keys to Jaya”.
 
Amitabh Bachchan was almost killed at the end of the movie when a stray bullet from 'Dharmendra' missed him by inches.
 
It was during the making of Sholay that Amitabh discovered he was going to be a father of his first born, Shweta.
The train robbery sequence took about 20 days to film on the Mumbai-Pune line, near Panvel.
 
The major outdoor scenes were shot at Ramnagaram near Bangalore, India. There are huge rocks of granite in the town which became the backdrop of Gabbar Singh's den. As a memento to remember, the people of Ramnagaram renamed a part of the town as Sippynagar after the name of the director, Ramesh Sippy.
 
The filmmakers had to build a road from the Bangalore highway to Ramanagaram for an easy access to the sets. Even to this day, a visit to the "Sholay rocks" (where the movie was shot) is a key feature for tourists travelling through Ramanagaram (on the road between Bangalore and Mysore).
 
Mac Mohan who played “Samba” had to come many times from Bombay again and again to shoot for his part. Sadly only one scene of his was there in the movie, but he was destined to be famous with that scene only.
The film showcased two real life romances. Amitabh married Jaya Bhaduri, who played the widowed daughter-in-law, in 1973, during the filming. And Dharmendra married Hema Malini in 1980, five years after the release of the film.
Casting
Dharmendra was interested in playing Thakur Baldev Singh, but changed his mind when Ramesh Sippy told him Basanti was to be played by Hema Malini.
He was also informed that Sanjeev Kumar would play Veeru and then he would get the heroine, Hema Malini. Sanjeev Kumar had just then proposed marriage to Hema Malini. Dharmendra was in love with her and quickly went back to the role of Veeru.
 
Amjad Khan prepared to play the dacoit by reading a book titled Abhishapth Chambal, which was about the Chambal dacoits. The book was written by Taroon Bhaduri, father of Jaya Bhaduri.
It is also believed that Amitabh was more interested in Gabbar's role.
 
The director's original choice for Jai was Shatrughan Sinha at first, but as it couldn’t work out Amitabh then convinced the producers that he would be the right choice and got that role.
Dannywas the first choice of Gabbar but had to miss out because he was shooting for Dharmatma in Afghanistan.
 
Amjad Khan was almost dropped from the project because 'Javed Akhtar' found his voice too weak for Gabbar Singh's role but then he was definitely in.

5 Naani Koni Viveka Vijay Prakash, Karthik & Shreya Ghoshal 5:26
Total length: 26:47:00 

Maattrraan movie story is on conjoined twins. This is the fifth time Surya is playing a dual role. Kajal Agarwal plays Surya’s the love interest in the film.
Its very emotional family entertainer and it will explore a sensitive relationship between two brothers who play conjoined twins.
KV Anand directed Maatran is opened with mixed to poor reviews and viewers opine first half is a bit slow and engaging with comedy, good songs, some important episodes and seeds for second half. While second half seems logic less with a couple of scenes and songs working big time with audiences along with Suriya’s dialogues.

One of the major highlights of the film is its VFX. Helmed by Srinivas Mohan of Endhiran fame, the VFX team has worked hard and it is evident in all the frames that feature the conjoined twins. The action sequence at the roller coaster ride is the best example where all the departments like the camera, stunt, VFX and Suriya have worked in epic tandem and the result is brilliant. Editing plays a crucial role in such visual effects intensive movies and editor Antony has done complete justice to his craft.   

Cinematographer Soundarrajan creates a huge canvas in song sequences in the Nani Koni number and fills it with rich and spectacular sights. The splendor of Norway is breathtaking in this song. In all, the film looks rich and grandeur, thanks to Soundarrajan’s angles and lighting. Scintillating songs and good RR of Harris Jeyaraj enhance the appeal.  Kaal Mulaithe Poove is a visual and an aural delight. Other tracks are also humworthy.

It is apparent that stunt master Peter Hein has worked over time to get the appropriate effect more so when the scene involves conjoined twin. However the scene in the forest towards the climax is a long drawn affair and could have been trimmed.

The concept of genetic engineering and especially baby designing is new to Indian Cinema and has packaged this concept interestingly.

KV Anand has managed to make the script pacy. However at 2 hours and 48 minutes, the movie still feels a tad lengthy. This could have been reduced.

There is a pattern in K V Anand’s films. There is a definite social message which he masquerades with commercial components and packages it interestingly. Maattrraan also follows the route and it delivers what it promises- a rich and stylish entertainer with an interesting story.

Verdict: A rich and grandeur entertainer

The festive season has already started in Kollywood from this Friday, Oct 12 that will be followed by Dussehra from Oct 16-24. This might help Maatran in getting good collections at the box-office as there are no other big movies released. AGS Entertainments has produced this action thriller Maatran with the music scores by Harris Jayraj, cinematography by Sounder Rajan and editing by Anthony.

Gangs of Wasseypur 2

Read a news somewhere that gang wars has been started again after the relese of this bloodshed Gangs of Wasseypur. Part 2 is continuation of the first part, personally I was waiting for the release of this movie as I was more interested in knowing the future of Sardar Khan's legacy. This is a movie I felt like I am watching some live incidents.
The film has show with very accurate time line like gaining monopoly over iron and steel business, introduction of SLR and AK rifles and emerge of Pager trend in mid 90s.

Plot
Dhanish Khan murders the captured gunman involved in his father Sardar's khan's assassination, and was killed by Sultan while coming out of the Court. Faizal khan younger brother of Dhanish takes over his brothers illegal businesses. He comes to know that Fazlu was involved in his father's assassination and kills Fazlu now a politician. Faizal takes over as the new head of the crime syndicate.
Faizal Khan and Ramadhir Singh meet and discuss the circumstances which led to the blood feud. Ramadhir gives his consent to Faizal to retaliate against Sultan Qureshi under the condition that the Khan-Singh feud come to an end.
After Faizal and Mohsina's marriage, Faizal kills Sultan's men who were involved in the murder of his father and his brother. Sultan, still oblivious of the truce between the Singhs and the Khans, calls Ramadhir, asking for permission to retaliate.
 An opportunistic Definite Khan  Faizal's stepbrother, also a nuisance to the public, aspires to become a gangster. Though being brought up in Ramadhir Singh's household, he grows to idolize Faizal and thus double-crosses Singh.
Perpendicular Khan robs local stores on the pretext of being Faizal's brother. At the instigation of local shopkeepers, Perpendicular Khan is murdered by Sultan Qureshi. At the same time, Shamshad Alam, on being caught short-changing Faizal, rats on Faizal's illegal operation to the police and gets him arrested. Definite Khan in order to gain Faizal's appreciation, attacks Shamshad Alam, grievously injuring him. Faizal, however, comes under the sway of Ikhlakh who, unknown to him, is Ramadhir Singh's mole; and in his greed for money, ignores Definite who eventually grows estranged from him. Faizal decides to join politics and contest a rigged election against Ramadhir Singh.
After Faizal's release, Sultan in a last-ditch effort, arranges an ambush on the Khan mansion to eliminate Faizal and his whole family (the opening scene of Part 1) but everyone escapes unharmed. Enraged at their failure, during the festivities of Muharram, Sultan's henchman brutally kill Asghar and Nagma at the marketplace, leaving Faizal blind with rage. With Definite's help, Sultan is tracked and gunned down.
Faizal decides to kill Ramadhir Singh, at hospital he kills Shamshad after a gun battle with Ramadhir's men, and pumps in several bullets on Ramadhir.
Definite kills Faizal Khan while in police custody.

Hilarious scenes
Definite's pistol gets locked when he attacks Shamshad's house, and the chase between the two.
Definte asks perpendicular if he can ride the motorcycle and jump from the 10ft pit, and perpendicular does that.
Assassination of Sultan, no words for that, one must listen to the dialogues carefully.
The first night of Faizal and Mohsina.
What does definite means?
The scene when Faizal asks Mohsina to give him a company for a movie.
