Three Idiots, is a forthcoming Rajkumar Hirani directed, Vidhu Vinodh Chopra financing film, that is supposed to have three idiots in pivotal roles. The story revolves around two idiots going in search of the third who stays as the unique idiot, thus the Hero of all the idiots, and therefore leaving impact on the other two.

The corridors deal with class rooms of fun and humor, and drama in enamor. Sources reveal that Kareen Kapoor, who has consciously taken a versatile role after Kurbaan has kindled best slots of comedy in her lifetime, while Aamir Khan has gone back to his cute-old days. With Madhavan playing as one of the idiots, and Sharman Joshi as the other, the lead idiots have looked to counter well in their roles. Boman Irani, the jocularly called idiot as usual, plays an oppressive mentor in the movie. From the idiots of Lage Raho Munna Bhai, it's another school of humor but this time, the students look aptly cast. Now, it's all time since the Christmas calls for ample admissions across the globe and thereby, possible accolades from the public Santa ........

The All-Praise James Cameron talks beautifully on his youngest son - Avatar : Profoundly James Cameron goes.....
"As a lifelong fan of science-fiction and action, Avatar is a dream project. We are creating an entire world with a complete ecosystem of phantasmagorical plants and creatures and native people with rich culture and language. The story is both epic and emotional. 3D is a revolution taking place and Avatar will have its part. By all means, it can create its own niche in terms of its Live Action and what some people would think of it as Animation.

The Live Action Element Of It :
That's Where Hollywood Is Lagging Behind As A Community. There has not been a main kind of tent pole made in live action 3D, at least not till now, Avatar will be a test case."

Question Of The Decade : How did James Cameron take an actor in a skintight suit with wires strapped to his body and motion-sensing dots stuck to his face and — presto! — turn him into a highly realistic blue alien bouncing around a lush planet in "Avatar"?

Arnold Schwarzenegger called it 'An Emotional Spectacle'.

For obvious reasons like - Love, War, Never-seen-videos, Live Action & an All-Encompassing Experience - The Avatar looks a precariously prodigious flick of the decade....

Vettaikaran - Voice For A ' Vijay ' Hunt

Vettaikaran is a forthcoming Tamil Feature Film with Ilayathalapathi Vijay and Anushka Shetty playing the lead role. Besides the debutant director Babu Sivan, the technical team of Vettaikaran is blessed with all Big Names of Kollywood - Be it the Financier AVM, or the Distributor Kalanidhi Maran. The Sun Pictures Release will have the experienced V.T.Vijayan cutting the footage while the main cinematographer Gopinath will be involved in making it with his camera.

This film with the Popular Yesteryear title Vettaikaran that starred M.G.Ramachandran, holds shots from places like South Madras, Madurai and portions of Andhra. The film has observed to have lovely sets constructed by Milan, complimented by some exquisite camera work. Vettaikaran, as the word represents is not merely the part of Kanal Kannan, the stunt master but also a complete package of a perfect Tamil Cinema that promises to suit and enamor the audiences, this time particularly with Actor Vijay.

The protagonist Ilayathalapathi Vijay plays the role of an auto driver while the Arundhathi fame Anushka Shetty plays a medical college student. As expected, Vijay follows the Thalapathi route reminding us of the Manick Basha, this time also reminding us of the antique Vettaikaran(MGR).

Music director Vijay Antony's songs, despite making critics uncomfortable, convinces the listeners to its firm arm and it seems as if the 'Nakka Mukka' man has worked doubly for the Ilayathalapathi starrer.
With loads of fun, thrill, romance and action, this entertaining flick looks promising, despite Vijay's repeatedly failing attempts at both the B.O and the critical leaves.

With V all over it - A'V'M , V.T.Vijayan, Vijay Antony, Vijay, Victory looks to hinder Vainness as far as Vettaikaran is concerned!!!

Paa Movie Critic Review - The Paa Of Passion Cinema

Read :

Paa Premieres - The Paternal Awe



In Short:

Finest Son Fathers The Role Of A Father To Find His Father Father A Figure Of A Fulfilling Role Of A Son To Call His Father - A Fabulous 'Paa'.

Paa, the critically most expected film of all the Bollywood seasons make millions book their seats first up across the globe despite the Delhi Daredevil Sehwag's on-the-verge history making innings on. With the most specific body language that could be brought about in that small figure of a precocious looking Auro but an actually stable mind set, the Badshaah-Balki duo gets the absolute characterization of the protagonist. A quite conscious effort to not interfere with his own baritone, the Super Paa of Bollywood heroes appear supreme in his victimized look of a vulnerably serious Progeria. Despite the plethora of details to explain the strange disorder before the release of the film, Paa never looked to teach the intricacies of the disease. With No Robin Williams, No Brad Pitt, No Anjali, and No TZP, the illness just plays at the backdrop to an otherwise emotional drama between the alienated parents of this special child. The exact staple of "different" film-making is brought only here as far as storytelling is concerned. With already accumulating accolades, the film seeks critical quotations favoring the aged master playing such an honorable role.

Auro meets his father in an award giving ceremony, and tries to reunite his largely separated parents. Auro gives logical explanations and worthy moves to do the same, while Auro's classmate plays a second with his light-hearted humor. Amol, the father of Auro, played by the smaller b, Abhishek Bachan, shows good emotions to both his child and his wife Vidya Balan. Perhaps, this just seems like Vidya's best film on date. Paresh Rawal does a better job unlike his latest moves in De Dana Dan.


Ilayaraja's compositions plays well into the inner minds and souls, but one is not sure as to why the director wants to reproduce the yesteryear hits of the maestro. Perhaps, he doesn't find time or patience sitting with two masters at a time, or he shows lack of confidence in producing new and better music irrespective of a familiar/convenient situation. P.C. Sriram makes the most of his experience into execution.

Truly, the Paa-Beta reversal refines this reciprocating relation to its utter revelation.

Paa Movie Preview - The Paternal Awe

The final month of the year 2009 has something to be seen and marked, allegedly making it worth a Bollywood year in terms of making 'Off-Beat Films Inside Bollywood' . From New York to Jail , people have started releasing and receiving several bohemian films across India for its obvious intentions. Balki, as he is commonly known as, showed us Indian restaurants in London with workaholic waiters and busy boys two years back . The advertising executive, who made his debut in 2007 with Cheeni Kum, R. Balakrishnan this time gets more confident with his script and confidant (Big B) beside him. The forthcoming film of his, scheduled on December 4, features 'A Rare Father-Son Relationship' titled 'Paa'.


The protagonist, Amitabh, plays a patient suffering from Progeria, a condition resembling aspects of early maturing. The Bigger Bachan showed great involvement to portray this inspirational role of Brad Pitt. The son is said to be living with his parents, Abhishek Bachan and Vidya Balan. The father(actually the smaller b) is a young politician full of ideals who wants to show the world that 'politics' is not a bad world, while the mother Vidya Balan plays a gynecologist.


The 'Prime Focus' produced 'Paa' had several parts to be shot in Cambridge. While releasing in 20 countries with over 700 prints, Paa pushes itself to a world record in the history of Indian Cinema to showcase an actor without getting to see his real face. Most filmmakers cast him mainly for his star value or for what he is, but Balki thought otherwise.
Having the most familiar technical crew, Balki looks all comfortable with his film. Ilayaraja scores simple and delightful music for the film while P.C. Sriram pictures well to take the script to greater heights.


A part of production under ABC that was sinking sometime back, may just finds its fortunes back with Paa. After a practical delay in the release of the film, it is all set to emote the screens across the globe and this time, its well enough to appreciate the director Balki for his conscious film-making as observed by several other experienced film-makers.

Interesting Fact : A disillusioned Balki walked out of Mr. Bachchan’s office, when the Bollywood icon failed to show the enthusiasm that Balki felt. “When it comes to a script there are always sensitivities involved. I was in love with my script and was peeved that Mr. Bachchan didn’t share the same emotion. So essentially, I wrote two scripts for Paa, the first was c%#p, the second is this.”
