The Excitement is colossal and so is the expectation from this magnum opus by Shankar. Endhiran has the greatest names in Indian Cinema & World Cinema alike amalgamated together. These names include- Shankar - Director of Sivaji, Kadalan, Anniyan, Indian (Hindustani)---In short, directors of Blockbusters Thalaiva Rajnikant - The highest paid actor in Asia! Nothing more to say about him! He is a demigod in himself! AR RAHMAN - The double oscar winner scoring some of his best works...The songs are awesome....all of them! Aishwarya Rai - The eternal beauty of India..... SUN PICTURES - The biggest production house of Asia (since it has whooped out 190 crore rupees for this Film) Stan Winston Studios - Takes care of the animatronics in the film... Industrial Lights and Magic - take care of the special effects (40 crore spent on sfx) Yuen Woo Ping - The best from Hong Kong and Chinese films! When such is the lineup, it's natural to have high hopes pinned on the film...I

Cry Cry (Jhootha Hi Sahi OST) Singer(s): Rashid Ali, Shreya Ghoshal Music Director: A R Rahman Lyrics: Abbas Tyrewala Director: Abbas Tyrewala MY RATING - 9.1/10 REFLECTIONS Wow! That's how I begin my REFLECTIONS on almost every Rahman song! This one's no exception....it's a jazzy night time song....very peaceful & melodious alike! Sounds like Abbas Tyrewala hasn't really taken off from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.....The song's quite similar to the songs of Jaane Tu...Maybe it's the perfect use of Rashid Ali's silky voice... No..No I am not criticizing Rahman...this one's distinct from the Jaane tu songs..although they are on the same vessel. Cry Cry is a new twisted Angrezi Desi repentance song with the freshness of being jazzy. It's a nice one.... Rotey kaayko hum hey Rotey kaayko hum Why do we cry?? Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum Let things happen as they will...why do we get sad?   Cry cry itna cry karte hain kaayko Itn

पागल अनुकण/ Paagal अनुकन Music - AR Rahman Singers -  Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal Lyrics - Swanand Kirkire MY RATINGS - 9.5/10 Reflections "Ho...baby....O baby....pyaara tera gussa bhi....Oh Baby...O Baby...."... OOps, I'm sorry, i didn't realize I was making this post! I'm sorry...it's just that ever since I have started listening to this track...I have been humming along....continuously.... Ahem...This is the hindi version of the song KAADHAL ANUKAL (Love Microbes) from the Mega Rajni movie- ENDHIRAN (ROBOT in Hindi). As you can already see...I am high...and no m not on drugs (lol..except for d painkillers I am taking for my injured limb :P )...it's the intoxicating nature of this song...that's given me this high! Listen to it....I even loved the video...Rajni looking out of his shoes! The 60 something demi-God looks a mere 30 in this one.....love the locales of the song.... AMAZING! Besides...it's Mohit Chauhan!!!! Ooooo....teaming

So, finally India wakes up to the western philosophy of weaving blockbuster films out of successful Tv series. The first trial in Hindi is Khichdi, the hit sitcom from the 2000s finally makes its big screen debut on October 1st 2010. The trailor has been arranged quite hilariously, giving sneak peeks into the lighter and heartier moments of the film. The film has almost all of the characters from the sitcom, although some of the characters might look different for they will be played by different actors. The film focuses on Himanshu's wedding. Produced by Fox Star pictures and directed by Aatish Kapadia has Satish Shah playing an important role too. My Expectation Rating - 9.5/10

Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto ( Oh Yaro Ye India Bula Liya) Music & Singer : AR Rahman Lyrics : Mehboob MY RATING - 9.1/10 Reflections It's total bullshit what the media has resurged with, claiming that the CWG's official anthem is disappointing and off-theme! BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT! It's not like waka waka...you know why??? C oz it's better than that! Its just that Rahman demanded 5.5 crore as renumeration for the song, that hasn't gone well with the 'Critics'. But, considering the fact that more amount in hundreds of crores have been going into the pockets of the OC, this amount seems too little and at least it's been dealt in the open, unlike the OC. The track starts slowly....like an early morning sunrise...when people rise from their beds...and then after a minute or so....the track changes it's pace completely...it's fast and awe-inspiring throughout! RAHMAN rocks....although not as good as Maa Tujhe Salaam. Maybe they should ha

Aakrosh / आक्रोश Filmed by - Priyadarsan Produced by - Kumar Mangat Pathak Starring - Ajay Devgun, Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Bipasha Basu, Reema Sen, Amita Pathak Music - Pritam Lyrics - Irshad Kamil DOP - Thiru Genre - Action/Thriller/Drama My Expectations' Rating - 7.9/10 Reflections Well, the genre is clear- Pure action and some are over the top, just like in T amil flicks. Priyadarsan returns to the action genre after almost a decade and half.We last saw him making Gardish which starred Jackie Shroff. The funny thing is that despite making an action flick, the Priyan film doesn't star Akshay Kumar which is quite surprising for he had featured in almost all the recent slapstick idiotic comedies of Priyadarsan and when finally he has made this Action film....LO! There's no Akshay Kumar...instead there is his second favourite Akshaye Khanna. Ajay Devgun has sizzled once again...the female lead played by Bipasha..Reema and the producer's daughter- Ami

Excerpts from oneindia.com It seems Endhiran bug has finally bitten cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan.
