I still believe he could'n board the train

It all happened in three to four minutes, but gave me a life time experience. It was in the Chennai Central station. I was in the Charminar express, I was checking my mails on my laptop with the MTS data card connection inside the train. A man in his mid-40’s well dressed, obese and Tamil looking crossed me. He came back and said “excuse me in Telugu” (I found the meaning to the sentence later), since I din understand, I said “I din understand” (in Tamil). He said “can you do me a favour” (in Tamil with tears). I was taken aback and asked with concern “yes, tell me what’s it”(Tamil). He said “I lost my purse while I was coming from Coimbatore to Chennai on the inter city express, I need to reach Nellur, its 140 rupees for a ticket, so can you borrow me 140, I have asked my manager to come to the station, he will bring the money, as soon as the station comes I will get you the money” (Tamil). I was confused, doubtful and feeling pity. He din give me time. It was very quick and fast, seeing my doubtful face he moved forward and approached the next guy saying “ I feel ashamed to do this, but I don even mind to give you my watch till you get back your money”. I was in a pretty good mood that day, and on the top of it my philosophy that “ what if this guy is not lying, I would miss a chance to help someone in need”. I took out the my wallet, I could find two 100 rupee notes. I gave them, with a pride. He took the money and said “I just need 140, I will take the ticket and return back the 60 in ten minutes, please wait” (Tamil, with a happy and shame full face). I said, “ its ok give me 200 when you reach ur place”( Tamil, with a generous attitude). Its been two days ever since this incident happened. He never came back to return back the money. I was so fucking stupid, but still, I still wanted to believe that he was telling the truth and he got caught in the crowd while he was buying the ticket and could’nt board the train.
But if he has lied, I still liked the way he asked, and his effort to dress so well suiting the situation, and his acting. It was quick, fact and good dialogue delivery. I loved his acting.

LePad Vs IPad

LePad, a much better IPad with high speed but a higher price.

Wannabe Creative

Most often, taking up longer time to finish a work, spending money on the least important of the most useless thing, growing long beard and hair, looking constantly at the empty roof and doing things which are understood only by aliens, self intoxication of unknown substances like sewage remains etc...... are considered as the inspiration for creativity or the proof of being creative.

Something, somewhere, somehow, somewhat are the most common words that will come out of a creative person.
It will look as if, he is really not sure about what he/she wants, but he/she knows exactly what he/she wants.

Dictionary of a creative person, some words with meaning.

common man - ass hole who does not understand us.

copying - inspiration
good - bad
bad - taking bath
taking bath - what's that
what's that - i have never heard of such thing

Tips to piss off a seriously creative person.

1. Give him/her a time frame
2. Give him/her a budget constraint.
3. Give him/her some healthy food to eat.
4. Ask him/her about their inspiration.
5. Tell him/her that you completely understood his/her work.
6. Put some beautiful painting on the roof.
7. Take him to a barber shop (only for men,) because most of the creative women have very short hair.

Questioning a creative person is the most interesting thing to do. Creative guys hate questions, because they consider themselves as the sole owner of questioning the world. If you want a creative person to turn into a murderer, ask him 7 question continuously one after the other, with a interval of 1 minutes between each question. Highly creative guys will turn into murderers before you go into the 4th question, thats the sign of extreme creative mind. But in some very rare cases, you will feel like killing your self thrice by drowning in the drop of tears that pour out of your eyes, on the second answer for the 3rd question you asked, these are the deadliest of the deadly creative minds.I LOVE THEM

Aliens and Antarctica

I don know how, but i was and is obsessed but two things my whole life Aliens and Antarctica.The one person or a group of people i wanted meet is Aliens and one place i want to visit before i die is Antarctica. Antarctica is possible i suppose, but aliens I am really not sure. All those movies made in the 70s 80s and 90s about how the world will look in 2000 looks very funny now, because 2011 looks no different from 1997. In those movies where they had shown that we will have transport systems which can fly and the clean cities with complex shining fly overs have still not appeared. Movies and novels which have stories about future have always been overplayed with imaginations or may be the writers wish, but nothing changed. I wish the same to happen and not like 2012 and the new movie world invasion, so that i can visit at-least Antarctica,may be meeting aliens is a risky business. If you aliens are listening to this by some sort of capturing transmissions from earth, my message is 'please don invade us, we are nice people, may be we can teach you on how to cook tasty Biryani and Pizza and you can teach us on how to convert water to fuel, lets be friends, that will help to fulfill my wish to meet you guys'

Seedan, an other mistake.

Iam sure that we are addressing one of the most important part of Tamil cinema. Seedan is a beautiful example. Directors or simply not able to connect to people and their issues. Not just the story, its also the setup. A maid who wears pattu pavadai ( i think the director wanted to show her beauty), a Dhanush film where he comes in the second half. A outdated issue. Subject about aliens. For me it was really a subject about aliens, as an audience.
I have no more words to talk about the film. It's high time the film makers realize the importance and the meaning of entertainment.
Such a subject should have kindled and stirred the notion of faith and devotion in people, if it would have handled well. Now you cannot even release this film as a devotional subject during Sabarimala or Palanimalai season.
The best part is yet to come, when Suhasini her reviews the film :)

Film Trailer, why ? and what ?

And




Trailer, why is it made.

Trailers are made not just to inform people about the film,but also to prepare the audience for a experience. It is also a tool which will help the audience to identify their choice to select the kind of film which they want to see, and should also create a curiosity with in the range of its subject, beyond the expected. This is how it can help in marketing the film.
But nowadays film trailers are made with a bunch of 'so called' best shots, the director or the trailer editor think is the best. Some time it is made with such stupidity that its makes you fell Yuk and bluck and creates a aversion from the film. Hollywood has devised a method to produce trailers but still we are learning how to cut film after a century of experience, amazing.

Quarter cutting and Aaranya Kaandam are the two best trailers, I have seen in this year. Hats off to people who are behind this.

There is no point in making a film, spending 50 or 60 Cr, how it is marketed to identify the audience is something which we have to learn from the west.

What is a commercial film ?

I don't understand what a commercial film is.
When some one pays money to watch that specific film, then it becomes a commercial film because it involves commerce or business where the transaction of money takes place. If that's the case all films are commercial films.
Some people say no! ,only when a film becomes a hit it's a commercial film, i ask you a question, what's hot film, they say it runs well and earns profit, i again ask who earns profit. As far as i know only 2 percent of the whole Indan cinema becomes hit, as per the data given by producer council, so do we make only 2% commercial films, rest is all Non-commercial or art film or what do you call it. Then Tanga Manasukaran is a art film.
Some people say it should have all commercial elements like sex, violence and hot songs, then what do you call Salam bombay because i, as far as i have seen al most all so called art films have either sex or violence in a greater content than normal films.
What is a commercial film.

THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE

I have been really a big fan of X-Files ever since it was there on Star T.V as a serial when i was in school.I learned the meaning of the word Paranormal from Mulder and Scully.I was so happy to see X-Files on the big screen when the last film was released.Almost all the X-File fans expect something or the other related to Aliens and UFO stuff related thing in x-files,but this one really disappointed with a plot of 'Russians in their mission to creat a Fankastine Monster'.
I was sad that both ,Mulder and Scully looked really old(and also realising that how old am i).Since the first film had a big action sequence which had cool CG work in the last sequence ,i was expecting more in this one but i was seriously disappointed,but i got a chance to see them back again after a long time (i was happy with that ,the film ended).

Jayamkondan , a review

Umm this one film which i would like to call a proper "commercial format".
This is the kind of film which always gets a review from mags saying that "you can watch with ur family" types.
Hats off to the director.Cool, simple, very tangable and commercial plot.
The Madurai accent has worked very well with everyone, even with the female lead.
Kishore bhai is owsome , he has proved it again, the elegance and simplicity of the villan is real cool.
Real good and simple subplots.
Though the story comes closer to Agni Nakshatram , even some situations (like when the hero gets angry with her step sister and goes to meet her mother ,and finds her dead) .Still the old wine has worked very well...
good film , very entertaining and worth watching

NairSan , a japenese film

One of our business partners from Skykap Production,Mr.Arun Pillai has joined the project,assisting the Director Mr.Albert.
This international exposure will bring in a flavour of experience into our team.All the best Arun.
Personally, i have been looking forward for this film on three reasons,
1.There are few good films made on heroes, who fought for our nation's indipendence, this is one such film which will throw light on such a hero.
2.This film will open up unseen market avenues for historical-crossover film.
3.Myself a great fan of Lal Yetan and Jackie Ji :)
All the very best to Nairsan team........
