Being Cyrus

Hmmm not a bad movie. The plot is perfect and did shock me in the end as the story unravelled. I never expected such an end to a strange story. Saif in awkward role...nasseruddin wasted...boman irani wasted...dimple wasted....perizaad wasted. If you make an analysis the credit must go to the script writer. Till the end I never understood as to what was going on and what the movie was about. 10 minutes to end the movie...Bang!!!!! the story unravels leaving me shell shocked. I got the scheme after the director reveals things. My rating is 5/10.

I read the reviews in various sites and the verdit was that it was a flop. So i got curious and watched the movie. If at all I lose...its just 3 hrs and i badly needed some entertainment. Started watching it and it was a cool movie which made me laugh and helped me cool down. Paresh rawal as usual is great and so is Asrani and Om Puri. I laughed all along right from start till the end. Its been long that i watched a comedy theme in bollywood. Well my verdict is ....Go for the movie, I liked it very much and those dialogues of paresh rawal almost killed me. The actual name sake hero was ritesh deshmukh and heroine reema sen, but paresh rawal and co carried this movie a long way. But Sudha chandran and rajpal yadav as villains were misfit...poor arbaaz khan had no role at all. My rating is 6/10 for this movie. People did say it was silly but i found it the other way...........clean and fun to watch.

Warning!!!!
1)One must have good sense of humour to watch this.
2)Heart patients need not watch.

Mercury Pookal

ahhhh wasted freaking 3 hrs watching a movie which had no message. Its the same old nonsense of hero and heroine fighting and patching up in the end. I have seen countless such movies in my life and i have lost that interest in such stories. But yes, i love thrillers, mystery ones and the ones which has a great twist in the tale and which spooks you. But this movie was just not worth watching. Well it had good actors/actresses in it..but lacked the framework. I dont know how people like srikanth and meera jasmine sign on dotted lines before they accept to don the roles. The question I ask myself is are they dumb? Why does the producer put his money in for something which has 0 returns....As usual my rating is zero out of 10 for this movie.

Sudesi -- Tamil

Sudesi
Starring-"Captain" Vijaykanth, Sayaji Shinde, Ashima et al
Suggestions: Good Political Messages and Chanakya Neethi
My Rating - 5/10
As usual Captain Vijaykanth has pulled out a rabbit from the magic hat. He has an eye on the impending elections in Tamil Nadu. If you dont know, he heads a new party "DMDK (Desiya Munnetra Dravida Kazhagam)". Its a good political ploy to make a movie and distribute it over the entire state. Most of his fans are from Madurai and its may cause ripples in the political circle. The plot of this movie is simple...as usual vijaykanth shows he is for the mass and created by the mass. What must be seen now is how can he be of use to the mass. As usual corrupt people in the Govt and vijaykanth takes the entry bashed up the badguys. He has the peculiar style of flying in the air and kicking the bad guys. This movie also has a lot of power fights and he fights a group of 8 to 10 people single handedly. One punch to the stomach of bad guy is enough for him to deify gravity laws. Heroine is a poster girl and I think the item girls had a major screen appearance compared to the heroine. Sayaji Shinde as the corrupt CM is apt. Plot is well written and the story moves on with a little wobbling.
Plot: The actual CM is admitted to the hospital, the doctors say he is stable. But the next day news is out that CM is dead. Livingston pushes sayaji to CM post, sayaji's advisor is a bad guy (that too an iyengar...lest people know that iyengars can never be bad guys haha) who secretly films sayaji killing the CM in hospital by removing his oxygen mask. Here in the movie one makes a comment that the technology for filming this was based on tehelka's sting operations. Now CD is comes to vijayakanth's hands who uses this to blackmail sayaji (current CM) to implement good schemes to the mass. Vijaykanth with his punch one liners is the cool winner. Some of the plots are similar to Mudhalavan and its good to see that if implemented could make any place a better place. Hats off to captain again.
I like this one-liner...."I dont consider anyone as my oppponent/enemy but if others consider me as their opponent/enemy then I cant help it"

Kovai Brothers -- Tamil

Kovai Brothers
Starring-"Lollu" Satyaraj, Sibiraj, Namita, Vadivel, Kovai Sarla
Suggestions: Timepass, something similar to comedy in first half and a stale suspense in 2nd half. Watch it at your own risk.
My Rating - 2/10
Satyaraj is known for his Lollu and its more outrageous in this movie. He makes a mockery of vijay, surya and suryah. He is trying hard to get his son into limelight by offering a package to B-films producer...the package is Satyaraj comes free when sibiraj is signed up for the movie. Sibiraj is trying hard to get a hit in B-movies..forget getting into mainstreams.
Vadivel seems to be fading as more than 50% of his comedy is going vivek's way. He is trying all double meaning and dirty jokes to stay in the race. This isnt comedy but a complete sell out
Namita is a poster girl and she might have to look for item numbers rather than look at heroine type roles. Any slimming down wont make her a heroine.
Kovai Sarla is silly but gives entertainment as Pisin hahahahah yeah i loved the dialogue where she says " I kept my name as 4shah after trisha, 10tara after nayantara and now pisin after Asin" hahahhaha thats hilarious.
Now for the story....
The story begins with a glimpse of how govt offices in india works. A father son duo (not satyaraj but some junior artist) are in the govt office trying to get a certificate. But they are harrassed by the officials there. This is usual and the movie shows this part right. When they are harrassed the son asks his father as to who will set these things right. Father replies as someone surely will question these officials and would straighten things. Cut... Action satyaraj's entry with a song and later his son enters the scene with a fight. The heroine makes entry with a song. Then starts the rubbish lollus ..i found it all silly with dialogues laced with dirty and double meanings. Vadivel's parrot scene is much better. The 2nd half breaks the suspense involving Kovai Brothers. Whats the suspense and what happen next is for you all to see. Watch it and post the comments ;-)
