Ram's Reflections

Neethaane En Ponvasantham(NEP) starring Jivva-Samantha is a watchable movie but doesn't even stand up to the hype it created prior to its release.The film portrays the usual clashes which occur in any relationship but the slow pace and the duration of the movie spoils the charm of NEP. The tagline "This could be your Love Story" suits very well as at some instances the audience will get to feel that they've also done the same thing in their lives. Gautham has made a realistic portrayal of the urban lovers through Jivva and Samantha but had the story been trimmed by 20 minutes, the reach of NEP among the audience would have been better.When you watch this movie, you tend to get a reminiscence of some of Gautham's previous movies and also some past Tamil movies which is distressing.

The plot of the movie involves the transition love between Varun(Jiiva) and Nithya(Samantha) right from their childhood through their school days, college days and the present day. Var…

Rajinikanth, the potency of this word can only be felt by a Tamil Film Lover(or rather all those who've watched his films).A person who was once a bus conductor came to an alien state and was identified by a legend who gave him an entry into films and then the rest is history.The bus conductor was Rajinikanth and the legend was director K.Balachander. Rajinikanth's life is not another rags to riches story, its different in many ways and I'm writing this to register my observations.Dedicated to Superstar on his special birthday 12.12.12.

Craving a niche for himself in Tamil Cinema:
Tamil Cinema throughout its history was focused more towards excellence in acting rather than performances. We've had many decorated artists in the industry but none have been under worship like Rajinikanth. Rajini ensured that he not only acted but also performed well in all his roles. All his films largely have been more of good-wins-evil type which is common but the Rajini phenomenon makes…

Just tried my hands in another romantic poem... :-)

My love towards you is like an illuminating flame,
Never can you find the beginning or the end of it,
Thoughts about you is the oxygen which makes it glow,
And you ignite happiness in my life every time I think about you.[FIRE]

You're constantly circumnavigating in my mind like a river,
Every drop of you creates capillary waves rushing through my mind,
I'm moving every second with the hope of reaching the ocean of you,
None can separate you from me as you're mixed with my blood.[WATER]

I can even touch for you the deepest ocean's depth,
After visualizing you within my eyes and taking a deep breath,
This action is not for proving my love towards you,
But to prove that your breath can take me to any distance.[AIR]

I see two black moons in a white universe on your face,
With 32 stars glittering every now and then adding beauty to beautiful,
I haven't seen space but your universe is definitely more wonderful,
I'…
