Sagar Alias Jacky Review

And finally the much expected film Sagar Alias Jacky has been landed. On the releasing day itself the search for the review for this one, among the hot trends make its place as fourth. From that fact itself its very clear that how the audience is eagerly waiting for the review. So don't worry here it goes.

After a long gap of 21 years, mohanlal's everloving character is back. All the credit goes to Amal Neerad. This time also he has done a sincere job.

The success of a film depends on how it fulfills the audience's expectations and how it entertains them. The film has all the facts which keeps the audience entertaining all the two and a half hours. And succeeded to fulfill almost 80% of their expectations. It has got superb visual impact and goes in parallel as that of Big B. So after the first day itself it seems that, this time too Sagar (alias "Jacky") has a long way to go.

No need to say, but Mohanlal is simply great this time too. Only he can do this, even after 21 years he still has all the essence of Jacky. Also its a pleasure to see Shobana again. And Bhavana as usual seems to be more pretty. The audience will accept it for sure, even if there's a doubt whether it has strong story line.

Rating given is 3.5/5.

A R Rahman at Kozhikode, Kerala

As I promised on my earlier post to give the updates on our ever time hero A R Rahman's live concert at Trivandrum,

Here is the latest update of the show, for which we all are waiting eagerly for.
But this time sorry for all the fans who planned to see our hero at Trivandrum, The show has been postponed to Calicut on May 3.
And this time its finalized as the official website of A R Rahman published that the live concert will be on Corporation Stadium, Kozhikode, May 3, 2009.

As the reasons behind postponing the show, they are pointing out that,
the Corporation Stadium here can accommodate more people almost double than the previous one.
Also the current venue is more closer to the biggest cities. Its postponed from April 14 to May 3rd since the
former day is two days prior to the first phase of the polling in the State.
But still they haven't announced the ticket information.

And one more update is that he will be coming to Cochin 28th of this month to announce more about the show.
Check out for more details here once it is announced finally.

'Ritu' - the film

"Ritu" shooting of the upcoming movie from the great director Shayama Prasad who has always been loyal to what he make, started at technopark.

For Ritu he has dropped the idea of scripting published novels or plays and has chosen an original screenplay by a debutant writer Joshua Newtonn, an international award-winning journalist


When I heard Shyama Prasad is planning to shoot his new film in technopark and even when he visited our office as a part of looking for the location, I never thought my office will be one among their location. But it was true and finally they started the production stage of Ritu on 2nd of March at my office.


Really it was such a nice experience to be on a film set with total freedom to observe as much as I possibly could. The moments when the camera's are rolling, all the flashing light and to know how each scene is moulding up. I wondered how much effort they are putting on a single shot. I never know a single shot is an outcome of a lot of things.

Got a chance to closely watch the crew which includes one at the top and to the ones at the other extreme, the assisstants, the sound artists and those around the camera's . These people compared to the others seems to be more social.

And the film cast includes Rima kallingal (Miss kerala frist runner up and
also the Thakadimi fame) and most of them are new faces and with all of them we got a chance to mingle with and got a chance to take some snaps with out any hesitation from any of them.

And I am just sharing those moments with all.

Atlast Auction happened and Vijay Mallya buys Gandhi's belongings.

Atlast Vijay Mallya buys Gandhi's items for $1.8 million.

The items offered at auction

Ofcoz im pleased with the news, atlast the belongings of our Mahatma will be coming home.But just a few words before that.

Its very disgusting that the personal items of our father of nation has reached the auction table. Also our Govt has failed to stop the auction and after being greatly criticized it finally happened. But still didnt you feel these items should be kept in a museum as these items are simply something that is greatly valued.
Atleast feels pleasure as its back to where it is supposed to be at.
