Mynaa Movie Review - Wishes You a Better Diwali

'Mynaa' is poetic and entertaining due to the incidents that create unpredictability being unlike a plain eloping love story. The only downside of it is the semblance of 'Paruthiveeran' which becomes inevitable. Otherwise, a neat film which wishes you a better Diwali! Here is the full review of the film 'Mynaa' which has Vidhaarth and Amala Paul in the lead, directed by Prabhu Solomon, produced by John Max and distributed by AGS Entertainment and Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies.

Bajaj Khivraj Dealer Chennai - The best and the worst

The Bajaj Khivraj Dealer Chennai is reputably the best but service-wise the worst. I recently bought a Bajaj Discover 150 bike from this showroom. It took a week or so for me to get to book a bike as the service personnel are so very dumb and are inept at handling the logistics.

They cannot handle the customers as well. My name is M Dinesh Babu. I paid them the initial amount so early but had to wait for another ten days to get the bike delivered. It was supposed to be registered but then the sales personnel, or of some other designation, advised me to take the bike without registration and said that it was safe to ride with an invoice and insurance cover note.

A little later, when I went for the number plates to be painted and all the accessories to be given, another personnel told me that I took the bike on my own risk without getting registered. I said, " I was told that there were no risks with an invoice and an insurance cover note."

The personnel could not speak a word again. Bajaj Khivraj Chennai near the Saffire Theater Mount Road still makes me go behind them for each and everything. Still the RC book is not given, and the insurance document is not given as well. There was a charge of Rs. 500 included as Other Charges which the personnel suggested was for the taking of the bike to the respective RTO offices.

The conversation of taking bikes before registration was triggered by this. I said, "why should I pay for the other charges when I took the bike for registration to the RTO office?" In fact, I was the one who had taken the bike for registration the buck of which was passed on to me along with the blame. I am still waiting for two more documents to be given (the insurance document and the RC book). There are no proper answers yet.

My business depends upon the time I spend. There is huge loss of time because of the irresponsibility of the Bajaj Khivraj Chennai staff. Subsequently, the loss of income on my part. There was confusion even on the painting of number plates whereupon a staff told me to take the bike for service first (as the bike was a little troublesome) and then get the numbers painted.

By the time I came back, the number plate painter left for the day. I had to argue with the personnel and learn that the number plate was painted but was only to be affixed. The one who told me to have the number plate painted after hitting the service center was gone. He came back after a while to make me lose valuable time.

Still, there is no proper answer for the insurance document and the RC book. Bajaj Khivraj Chennai near the Saffire theater is one of the worst dealers and that the dealership has several lazy stylish blokes who care nothing for the customers. They are freewheeling and stylish but don't care for the money you have paid them. There are other dealers as Bajaj KLN which I could have opted for, now I consider.

Also, I am looking for the possibility of the time I have spent compensated with through monetary means. Is this possible?


I am also looking forward to take this forward to teach a lesson to Bajaj Khivraj Chennai dealers who are near Mount Road for their laziness lack of courteousness in handling customers. I am deeply aggrieved over their treatment of me. I want to make Bajaj Khivraj Chennai answer me and my concerns. I would strongly advise and recommend customers against buying motor bikes from Bajaj Khivraj Chennai dealers.


Here is another link of my complaint at the Consumer Court Website. I would like to take it further. You may also comment similar issues and experiences and join this fight against those who fail to provide proper service. Consumerism is one thing to defend and there is nobody better than us to do it.

Bale Pandiya Movie Review - Piaa Bajpai the attraction

Piaa Bajpai is cute and chirpy. Liked her a lot. She looked good. Spoke to her and told her that she had a cool hair do but some difference would do. Piaa Bajpai is turning a better actress than so many other actresses. She looks cute and good too. Gibran, of SS Music fame, has become a villain like T-1000 of Terminator 2. He is impressive and sturdy.

Bale Pandiya is a screwball comedy film by 'Siddharth Chandrasekar'. The movie is to some extent appreciable for its different tone though turning silly occasionally. I have experimented with 'E-Prime' language for this review where there is no is, are, was, were, will be, shall be, be, to be, have been, has been and being. Difficult to write without these but the language looks good without these helping verbs. Here is the link for my review:

Hi,

Here is my review of 'Naan Mahaan Alla' produced by Studio Green Pictures, distributed by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies, directed by Suseenthiran of Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu and performed by Karthi of Paruthiveeran fame. The film is entertaining in parts for Karthi and Kajal Aggarwal is nowhere close nor is her characterization. Read on to know more:

Vamsam Movie Review - Pasanga Pandiraj's Average Affair

Pasanga Pandiraj could have concentrated on the script. The good at heart director could not miss out on his finesse as a director. Arul Nidhi has done well for a newcomer and so has Sunaina, although in patches. Here is the review:

Baana Kaathadi Review - T(h)reading the Arithmetic Mean

Treading the arithmetic mean, 'Baana Kaathadi' directed by Badri Venkatesh and produced by Senthil Thyagarajan and T Arjun for Sathya Jyothi Films is entertaining as well as sinking below the 'arithmetic mean' at times.
Also, Murali's (of Idhayam Fame with a hole in heart and Final Year MBBS Student for eternity) son 'Atharva' was prepared for the purpose by his father Murali. Samantha and Yuvan Shankar Raja could have worked better.


You 'may' watch this film, if you would like to.

Thillalangadi Review - The Psychotic Neurotic Nonsense

It seemed as though everyone was behaving as though they escaped a mental asylum and the three or so hours of the film was a complete headache wanting myself out of the theaters and wanting the film to end soon. Thillalangadi turned a Friday Morning Headache. Jeyam Raja might better stop making films, if he can do so and 'Jeyam Ravi' can act in better films, simply as he can do so. He is meant for better roles than this, since he has got talent.

Jeyam Raja is the spoilsport making back to back remakes shamelessly which betrays, "My mind won't do anything on its own. I copied in school and so would I do so here." Jeyam Raja is a curse for the Tamil Film Industry. Views expressed in this article on this blog are my own and not anyone else's. However, the review is a different thing altogether. Anyway, read my review here:

3 Children turn HIV Positive after Blood Transfusion

Just saw on NDTV! How pathetic! Three lives have to live with diseases in such age of innocence and would they know why they suffered AIDS? But when I hit Google, I saw that there was one piece of news each and every day with about 56 and or 20 children suffering AIDS due to blood transfusion. We, adults, do not even want to acquire HIV even by sexual intercourse.

These kids are destined to suffer AIDS through blood transfusion which they are not responsible for. The negligence of the meds needs to be condemned. Would it be the right kind of punishment to let those who are responsible to have sex with a prostitute (or even with a Gigolo) who suffers HIV? I am not in favor of a blood transfusion to them. Let them enjoy the pleasure of intercourse, while they know that they are going to be HIV Positive.

I am not autocratic but a peace lover of course. So, it would be good if the meds find measures where such things do not recur. Imagine and empathize with the kids! Put yourself into their shoes and imagine a moment where you suffer HIV! That will do to let us exercise some precaution. It is not as simple as it sounds to see kids suffer HIV due to blood transfusion. Imagine that it is something beyond their control, probably God's destiny of avenging for the 'Karma' they incurred in their previous birth or the first birth of their seven births on this planet.

Can't say enough but it is high time to say enough is enough!

Anandhapurathu Veedu Review: Madrasapattinam review did not go down too well

Against the power and the might, my review of 'Madrasapattinam' did not go down too well with 'opinion makers'. It was a tough day at the job for my reviews had to have a rethink strategy.

Madrasapattinam Movie Review: We were the first to post on the internet

Hi,

Here is my review of the Tamil Film 'Madrasapattinam':


http://600024.com/madrasapattinam-review-–-perspectively-titanic-retrospectively-subatomic/


'Madrasapattinam' is produced by 'Kalapathi S Aghoram's 'AGS Entertainment' and 'Udhayanithi Stalin's 'Red Giant Movies'. 'Udhayanithi Stalin' also was present at the theater. 'Madrasapattinam' stars 'Arya', 'Amy Jackson', 'Nasser' and a few other Brit actors and actresses. GV Prakash has done some good background music with Nirav Shah doing the cinematography. Editor Antony has done the Editing. V Selvakumar's art direction is good.

Spoke to British Actress 'Amy Jackson'. She was wonderful and answered two of my questions with care.

Raavanan – The scapegoat amidst Ravening Marketing - The ten heads of Raavanan


Buy eBook "How To See God"


Reviews have been mixed and so are feelings about the film. What has gone wrong with ‘Raavanan’? Though, we have given good reviews and ratings for ‘Raavanan’, we try to guess what has not been communicated by the film to the audience and what miscommunication has happened.

There are a few causative factors that led to the mixed feelings on Raavanan. Let us look into what have gone wrong with ‘Raavanan’. Like the ‘Ten’ heads of ‘Raavanan’, here are ‘ten’ factors that influenced the failure of ‘Raavanan’:

1) Hindi ‘Raavan’ has turned a dud and Tamil ‘Raavanan’ takes the backlash
2) Vikram and Abhishek Bachchan – difference in overall abilities of the two actors
3) Being a minority film
4) Accusations of Blasphemy
5) Film short and inadequate – The Ultimate Resolution
6) High Expectations and Hype
7) Television Broadcast Rights sold to less popular, indolent and deadbeat Raj TV
8) Predictable Story and Screenplay
9) Mani Ratnam and expectations on him
10) No Post-Release Promotion

1)      Hindi ‘Raavan’ has turned a dud and Tamil ‘Raavanan’ takes the backlash

The Tamil film ‘Raavanan’ may have evoked mixed responses but the ‘Hindi’ film ‘Raavan’ evoked a unified response with lack of poetry and woodenness in the narration. The failure of the major, widely marketed Hindi film failing to meet expectations has crossed the Deccan Plateau and has reflected on the Tamil Film ‘Raavanan’.

2)      Vikram and Abhishek Bachchan – Differences in overall ability between the two

Abhishek Bachchan is no match to the ‘National Award Winner’ Vikram. Vikram has essayed the role in the film with ease and emotions while Abhishek Bachchan being a failed actor could not essay the role with comfort and understanding. This has led to the failure of ‘Raavan’ where Vikram playing the role of Dev in Hindi was also not well received. Vikram has supposedly struggled to put up with the Bollywood atmosphere.

3)      Being a minority film

‘Raavan’or ‘Raavanan’ is not for the majority. The film has failed to communicate with the minority as well. Positive reviews have been coming only from Tamil Nadu but even Telugu ‘Villain’ has turned average. The film could not relate to the Telugu audience nor can it find the emotional connection other than Tamil Nadu. ‘Raavanan’ is a film, perhaps, not suitable to be a bilingual.

4)      Accusations of Blasphemy

The film being blasphemous has irked a lot of people and that has reflected hugely in their views on the film. India is so connected towards their favorite epics. Dispelling myths has created a lot of shock and anger. Word of Mouth suggests that you skip the film for its blasphemy which is so disturbing to those who hold conventional beliefs.

5)      Film Short and Inadequate – The Ultimate Resolution

Two hours and seven minutes is definitely inadequate for the Indian audience, that too in a Mani Ratnam film. Mani Ratnam has made lengthier films and he could have been given all liberty to go ahead to make a shorter film.

6)      High Expectations and Hype

The Pre-release hype has created a lot of expectations which has gone beyond what the film has in store. How could the audience imagine and suppose that this film should be the best of Mani Ratnam before watching the film? Taking the genre of the film as it is would have sufficed.

7)      Predictable Story and Screenplay

Perhaps the biggest of mistake in the whole film – a story known to everyone, at least on the outline, though being a variation, the adaptation could have taken a different course at the end. The film is predictable by adapting popular formats and is only a thin variation from ‘Ramayana’. The Screenplay is linear as well and does not hold surprises though this film is about ‘what is happening’ than ‘what is going to happen’.

8)      Television Broadcast Rights sold to less popular, indolent and deadbeat Raj TV

Imagine the kind of publicity ‘Raavanan’ would have received had it been sold to Sun TV instead of Raj TV or if the Tamil film ‘Raavanan’s distribution rights were sold to Sun Pictures? It is not about Sun TV, but ‘Raavanan’ has not received ravening marketing which other films have been getting. ‘Raavanan’ turns an easy target and a scapegoat for merely failing the expectations of the people though crap films take away the limelight with inveigling marketing tactics.

9)      Mani Ratnam and expectations on him

Much like how Shankar would not be expected to direct a ‘Veyyil’, ‘Kadhal’ and even ‘Earam’, Mani Ratnam is not expected to make a commercial entertainer like ‘Raavanan’, though the film is not entirely commercial. When we say the name, people always expect ‘Mani Ratnam’ to make another ‘Nayagan’, ‘Anjali’, “Roja’ and ‘Bombay’ all the time. This is not possible nor does a director have to make masterpieces all the time. He can make a simple film.

   10) No Post-Release Promotion

Pre-release promotions may have been high but post-release promotion has remained at low levels. When lackluster films have been turning successful with coercive ‘Post-Release’ promotions and marketing, Raavanan failed in this department, which could also be due to  their being a little more confident than normal.

Too many factors, responses and emotions

There may be too many factors and responses but ‘Raavanan’ is made a scapegoat amidst cajoling marketing of films that are almost nothing. If Mani Ratnam has not made his best, we may wait for him to make one. This is not the time for Mani Ratnam to retire and unfair criticisms due to the film being proselytizing is one thing to avoid.

Raavanan and Raavan prey to polemic journalism – Ethnocentrism defaming and demeaning the Avant-Garde Auteur Mani Ratnam


Check Out my eBook here


Mani Ratnam may have been the only avant-garde and the auteur director of Indian Cinema but the Northern Media awaited his downfall. As we are obliged to see the grey, black and white sides and the rationale behind Mani Ratnam and his films with a social concern, we are to state the truth in a much more effective way.


Mani Ratnam took care of the greater market in promoting his film as he was burdened with a Rs. 120 crore budget being held responsible under Reliance Big Pictures. The smaller regional markets were taken care of by actors such as Vikram for Tamil, Prithvi Raj for Malayalam and the Telugu audience is known to accept dubbed versions of Tamil films.

Mani Ratnam became an ambassador for the film (which he need not be for his name sells) ‘Raavan’ as he had to tour the US and the Europe. Mani Ratnam was accepted as the auteur of Indian Cinema by the whole of India besides being a Tamilian hailing from Chennai. The reason was that his films proved to stand beyond regional bias by their sheer quality.

While the American and Australian media went berserk over the film ‘Raavan’, it is only the north Indian media that subjected Mani Ratnam to a vicious calumny waiting for the right time. Mani Ratnam Ki Aag (in reminiscence with RGV ki Aag) is the latest buzz word doing the rounds. However, the film ‘Raavan’ , as witnessed and commented by the South Indians, is not as bad as it was made out to be.

Reviews and comments on the film ‘Raavan’ are simply, “please don’t watch Raavan and waste time.” Nothing else could be said beyond this. It was also due to the reigning hero of the North ‘Ram’ being made ‘demonic’ in character and ‘Raavan’ being glorified as a hero. This South Indian, Tamil ethnical sensibility is not definitely suitable for the North Indian audience and the angry comments turned towards the making, story and the screenplay.

The Tamil ‘Raavanan’s reviews had turned positive for over 90%. The rest of the 10% hinted at the loopholes of the film. Vikram carried the film on his shoulders with significant ease proving to be a charismatic actor and a star. ‘Raavanan’ is a cult hit in Tamil and the Tamil audience remained faithful to their avant-garde auteur in their feedbacks about their film and still love and defend their magnificient Mani Ratnam.

Raavanan better: Raavan bitter: Abhishek Bachchan sucks! Aishwarya Rai and Vikram steal the show - Part 3


Buy My eBook Here


At first I thought this piece about the film 'Raavanan' was polemic but after I read fully, I understand that there is some logic in the article for asking Mani Ratnam not to cast hamming and posturing actors who are dud on screen. I agree with this and have not been a favorite of Mani Ratnam's repeated casting of certain actors who are good for nothing like Aishwarya Rai (at times though not always), Abhishek Bachchan (who can quit acting in films, especially in Mani Ratnam films), Ajay Devgan and so many other actors.

At times in Tamil also with well performing but not so charismatic Meera Jasmine, Aravind Swamy, Prashanth etc.

What can a director like Mani Ratnam do with a limited repertoire of actors like this? This below article talks about the importance of casting. Read on to find that it is Abhishek Bachchan who has been the spoilsport. Vikram and Tamil 'Raavanan' remain favorites. Reportedly, Mani Ratnam felt agitated towards making films in Tamil as classics like 'Kannaththil Muththamittal' and 'Iruvar' did not do well in South. Hence, he took to making films in Hindi.

But this time, the Tamil film 'Raavanan' has saved him from huge losses but the Hindi film and the actors gave him a tough time. It is also said that Mani Ratnam could have made the film in Tamil alone. Read this article and also the comments!

Here is another review of the Hindi version 'Raavan':


http://in.yfittopostblog.com/2010/06/21/raavan-review-abhi-ash-are-insufferable/


Some of the popular film websites and portals including us (www.600024.com) based in Chennai have been so much positive about the Tamil film 'Raavanan'. We will come back with more about the film as I would, meanwhile, suggest you watch the Tamil film 'Raavanan' if you are a lover of good cinema. If you like it, please come back and post comments, if you don't, please come back and post comments to this article.

Raavanan better: Raavan bitter: Abhishek Bachchan sucks! Aishwarya Rai and Vikram steal the show - Part 2




Here is some more corroboration to our previous article. Vikram, the national award winner who came the hard way can perform with extreme brilliance but Abhishek who came on a platter struggled to do well as one of the comments in the article says. Some more news on Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Mani Ratnam, AR Rahman, Santosh Sivan, Vikram, Prithvi Raj, Priyamani and 'Raavanan' and 'Raavan'.

The film has been receiving unfair criticism and it almost seems that it was preplanned to topple the blasphemous effort right on the first day. Popular reviewers and their names will let you know why this happened. It is much similar to what happened in 'Iruvar'. Both 'Iruvar' and 'Raavanan' have been victimized for the sensitivities they carried although from two different sides.

Here is the link for this article:

Raavanan better: Raavan bitter: Abhishek Bachchan sucks! Aishwarya Rai and Vikram steal the show


Buy My eBook here :)


Raavanan and Raavan have hit the screens today! Sometime back, we felt that the songs were more of Hindustani but now the audiences in the north are feeling that the songs have more of a southern flavor. The Hindi film is a let down where one of the review criticizes Abhishek Bachchan of "taking more than he can chew" but "Vikram" is more accomplished as "Veera". Vikram portrays every emotion with ease. His talents and eyes are truly portraying of emotions.






Here is my review about "Raavanan":


http://600024.com/mani-ratnam’s-‘raavanan’-movie-review-–-dispels-and-debunks-ages-of-urban-legends/


Here is my interview with Mani Ratnam:

http://600024.com/interview-with-mani-ratnam-after-the-preview-of-‘raavanan’/


The film is unfairly attacked and targeted for the ethnic confusions and overtones. Let us see how the film is and decide for ourselves. Ultimately, the Hindi film sucked and the Tamil film did well! Some common misconceptions are that Aishwarya Rai looks beautiful throughout the film in the jungle terrains! The answer to this question could be that she is naturally beautiful and that due to the dampness she looks pale throughout the film.

Judging the Tamil film solely on the performance of the Hindi film is not common sense! The Tamil Film will do well. Unfair criticisms bearing at the back of the mind that Ramayana and Ram are tainted shows intolerance to art, creativity and fiction. Even in my interview with Mani Ratnam, he said that there is a human side to everything and that we should see everything from the human side of things.

That is what he has done again in 'Raavanan'.

Salman Khan must be condemned - Rational Films condemns Salman Khan - Bollywood stamps hard on IIFA Colombo 'Red' Carpet




We do believe that the Bollywood Film Fraternity are our brothers and sisters. We loved it when 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' enchanted us along with other films like 'Baazigar, 'Deewar', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Jodhaa Akbar' and so on. However, the Tamil Film Industry's or the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce's asking of the Bollywood to express solidarity with the Tamil Film Industry's decision of boycotting the FICCI's IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) Film Festival was to show a unified strength to the world.

But Bollywood seems to have other ideas. The Tamil Film Fraternity has not forced Bollywood to boycott the event. It was about a feeling of oneness when it came to the country we live in. But Bollywood believes Bollywood is Bollywood and Kollywood is Kollywood. The regional powers weren't sufficient enough to make Bollywood boycott the IIFA.

The Bollywood, undeterred, has taken the IIFA's Colombo 'Red' Carpet. Salman Khan who was among the first to take the 'Red' Carpet' told reporters that Amitabh Bachchan and his family should have come to Colombo as the Brand Ambassador of the IIFA or the FICCI. Rational Films condemns Salman Khan and the entire Tamil Film Industry should reach a consensus on Salman Khan and his films in the South. We hope that an explanation would at least be sought.

Some did pretend that there was no issue and some did not understand what the issue was all about. Some seemed to have no concerns and yes, of course, nobody can stop them as participating in Colombo 'Red' Carpet IIFA Film Festival is their democratic right!

Wish Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Kalaignar M Karunanithi many more happy returns of his birthday today




Rational Films or I have not wished anyone so far on their Birthdays but we take the opportunity the day has provided us with to wish Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Kalaignar M Karunanithi a very happy birthday. We also feel that he live many more years to serve both Tamil and Tamil Nadu.

Kalaignar M Karunanithi is a veteran screenwriter whose 'Parasakthi' is believed to be of world standards. It is! The film is studied in Chennai Tharamani Film Institute. The films, plays (as he is also a playwright) and all his literary works have portrayed the Tamil cultural milieu and the profound history of Tamil. His movies were pivotal to the development of Rational Movements and Rational Films in Tamil Nadu.

It is upon his ideals that we follow his path. Although to not his extent, we make sure that the Social and Cultural philosophies of the Dravidian descent is taken to the next generation. Kalaignar M Karunanithi was a star when his films and plays hit the theaters and stages. Popularity came his way as his movies highly expressed his affinity with the Tamil culture.

Furthermore, he was helped by banning his films and plays which went on to make what Kalaignar M Karunanithi today is. The Tamil Social and Rational movements might not believe in 'auspicious' days and moments but we take it as our pleasure and pride to open-heartedly Wish the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu a very Happy Birthday.

In a country torn asunder with civil war, riots against particular communities, politically triggered and motivated massacres, Naxalism, Maoism, bomb blasts, and so on, Tamil Nadu has expressed solidarity with all the communities and races making Tamil Nadu a peaceful state. If we have been able to walk on the streets with no fear of saving our lives, it is due to the intellectual predecessors and contemporaries of Tamil Nadu who propagated humanistic ideals.

We are not the state of Kashmir which was torn by leadership issues and autonomy keeping the state in constant tension. However, this not being the right occasion to talk about all these issues of the State or States, this is a day that highlights the peace and prosperity of Tamil Nadu. However, latent claims of the socialist and rationalist party (owing to pressures from the family) having turned out to be dynastic is the only Achilles heel of the party and its leader.

Wish Kalaignar M Karunanithi A Very Happy Birthday for being a significant part of the contemporary Tamil History. His contributions to Tamil literature and Cinema are incomparable! Also read my post today on 600024 website.

My post wishing Kalaignar Happy Birthday:

Singam Movie - A great film to be entertained


Surprisingly, the movie Singam made me put all my critical faculties to rest. I wondered if my boss would spare me from my critic job for I became a mere fan enjoying the subtle as well as the literally loud acting of Surya. Singam directed by Hari, produced by Sun Pictures, and casting Surya and Anushka in the lead, is a commercial potpourri of romance, action, emotion etc.





Singam is surely a hit is my personal guess. It was surprising to see how the entire theater felt in unison that the film was a good film not giving any mixed feelings. This is a rare quality. My review of the film is on http://600024.com/singam-movie-review-–-the-tale-of-the-lion-and-the-beautiful-female-moth/


My review was mixed as the film gave me lesser satisfaction towards the end due to the climax which could have been well thought out. I look for the latent thoughts of the movie to write a review. This means that the impact of the movie is actually felt only after the movie watching experience. If you look at the experience you had in the theater, it gets negated.




Only the best of Masterpieces like Titanic and a few other films gave such a feeling. Though there is no (unfair) comparison, Singam's characters (Surya and Anoushka and a few other supporting cast) are definitely loved. Devi Sri Prasad's music is good enough for a commercial film, Director Hari has done a painstaking effort to make something different with a taut, neat, fast paced and well written screenplay. He has succeeded. Anoushka is scintillating. Vivek has done average.

Stunts are great and Priyan's Cinematography is good in patches. Read my review to know more:

Indian Cricketers Brawl: IPL Parties: Pub Visits: Cricketers to play Matchings not matches




It is said that when money is made so easily, people do not know how to sustain it or that it leads you to wrongdoings. This has come true with the Indian Team. An anonymous cricketer reveals that cricketers during IPL took to hardore late night partying. Some of them thought they would be back in ten minutes to their rooms but it went on and on. Indian Cricketers had to realize that it was 4AM when they were back from the parties and had to constantly catch up with time to fly to the next destination.

Some of them even had to take the road and rail routes which took them hours. Cricketers were mercilessly exhausted not by the BCCI and the IPL but by the late night parties. The Late Night Parties were only responsible for India's humiliating defeat in the West Indies. Not only the Late Night Parties but the two or more chicks, Indian cricketers took to their rooms before dawn. Imagine the exhaustion! It was not two or three cricketers who took two or three girls to their rooms.

One Cricketer batted and bowled to two or three girls constantly who played (Matchings) within their hotel rooms. Those days of sinners, the days of the greatest of sinners - Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and the 1983 World Cup winning teams were the culprits. Had they taken (to) three chicks at once and bowled and batted, the current Indian players were saved of their disrepute. Angry Indian Cricketers are contemplating a (party) brawl with the cricketers of 80s.

This team is led by Yuvraj Singh with Rohit Sharma as Vice Captain with other players like Ashish Nehra to do the bowling while Yuvraj Singh will do the batting with a long bat - the longest hitter and the most prolific hitter. Yuvraj Singh's prolific scoring ability is well known. He has scored six sexes so far and a lot in domestic batting and first class matchings.

The eligible bachelor will open the innings and will not allow anybody at the non-striker's end. He will bat the two ends and will not allow anybody on the other end. The oldies (80s cricketers) are gearing up and are ensuring 100% fitness to play with the current Sachin Tendulkar of Indian Cricket - (Yuvraj Singh who has scored the most number of runs and six sexes in Matchings).


Kapil Dev finds it the toughest challenge to play with Yuvraj who tops the charts - the prolific batsman he says. "This matchings will be the toughest. Yuvraj's form and class are incomparable," says expert Sunil Gavaskar. Kapil Dev played some matchings in his earlier days and now he lost his form, class, energy, power and fitness.

TV Networks came forward to broadcast these Matchings and Board Of Control for Matchings in India (BCMI) President Yuvraj Singh has sold the rights to Internet Video Streaming websites except 'Youtube' and the list includes Meta**** (Censored), Slu*****(Censored), Por*****(Censored), XVI****(Censored) and so many other websites.

Meanwhile, a lot of youngsters are looking forward to get to (p)lay the Matchings but BCMI (Board of Control for Matchings in India) President and Opener Yuvraj Singh remains a tough clique.

Rule One and Only One: No Non-Striker's End!
