So, finally we have the last trailer.... The movie is ready for release...My Name is Iyer in its final edited version seems quite satisfactory. Pray for Us...everyone...pray for us! Music -Vijay Gee feat. G.Ramesh (Reverberations 2 - Pulse of Chennai)

Here's the first trailer of My Name is Iyer. Iyer is still a mystery in this one, keep waiting.

Finally we wrap up the shooting of My Name is Iyer in South City-2, Gurgaon! A long array of comical mishaps ended with a more satisfactory shoot of the movie. The trailer will be out soon on youtube. Keep watching! This one has the two lead actors from the movie.

Finally we start the shooting of my first short film- MY NAME IS IYER. Don't go with the title, coz it's not a spoof on My name is Khan nor is it a comedy of any sorts. Although our shooting was full of comedy and errors. After semi-successfully ending shoot at day 1 (also got interrogated by the Delhi Metro Policemen for suspicious behavior =P), I finally give you all, the first look into the Film.

//PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS...thank You// What do we call it when the biggest names in Indian film Industry team up? The Blockbuster creator - Director SHANKAR The Mozart of Madras - AR Rahman The Superstar...demiGOD - Rajnikant Goddess of Indian Cinema - Aishwarya Rai Biggest Producer from South - SUN PICTURES An all time high mind-boggling budget -  190 Crore / $ 40 million WELL I CALL IT an EPIC! That was for the film, let's talk about it's music. As expected Rahman was supposed to deliver something amazing....and does he???? read on...... 1. PUTHIYA MANITHAA (The new man) - This track has been sung by SP Balasubramniyam and Rahman himself. While there is Khatija Rahman rendering her part in some parts of the song giving it a soulful touch. It's a techno song....making use of dance beats and amazing lyrics by Vairamuthu....the song pronounces the creation of Robot and declarations of his power and might and also shows his love for his nativity! My ratin

First things first! Endhiran is India...well...Asia's biggest film venture ever....the budget spanning over 190 crore rupees ($ 50 million)...the biggies at bollywood couldn't even dream of such a huge project. Revolutionary director, Shankar's previous blockbusters Sivaji, Anniyan (aparichit), Indian (Hindustani). Kaadhalan (Hum se hai muqabla), Jeans. All these movies had one thing in common....they were all sleek..stylish and ahead of time...yet Block busters.... Although after the disaster that Raavan was, I didn't want to put stress on this movie, coz it has Rajnikant in lead, whose now old and weary.... But it's just that.....the trailor....one look at the trailor...changed my mind.... There's huge expectation...suddenly.... The making of the film is also shown in the trailor....and w can see Rajni sir pulling off most of the stunts himself...even dancing to the tunes set forth by AR Rahman Sir! The visual fx are great and never before seen in Indian

You saw the Hindi version....now sit back...n get ready for the tamil version of Raavan....... RAAVANAN......Vikram dons the role of Veera.......the man with 10 minds.....a hundred names.................... The best part of the teaser is the ending...where Vikram exclaims...." PATHU THALAI.......RAAVANAN"......(10 heads....raavan!) somehow...I feel that Vikram's VEERA would be much more energetic than Abhishek's BEERA........

Hmmm....the agony of sitting alone in an almost empty audi at PVR, Gurgaon...on a hot Thursday noon wasn't felt today...maybe coz of the movie's edge of the seat narration....or maybe coz....there...were..afterall...a few people watching the movie... other than the Hindi speaking Nepali ushers ... To be frank...I was very much excited about the movie...coz of its music and Karthi's presence... Music plays a huge role in luring the viewer to the theatre...and this movie is a classic example...Yuvan Shankar Raja's scores played a pivotal part in dragging me to the cinema hall (I had to cut my college today...)...as well as plying me to the seats even between passing moments of boredom and draggery! The best one being Thuli Thuli Mazhayai.....followed by poongatre Poongatre and Adada Mazhaida... Now the story.....well..again its a typical Tamil action flick! The Hero is nothing less than a superhero who can get the hell outta bunch of big fat hooligans...all for the se

On a friday afternoon....I made through the bulging traffic of Jaipur Highway & MG Road.....to reach PVR MGF on time for the 3:25 show.....of the movie...that I wished to see in Kerala 2 weeks ago for just 30 bucks...in some air conditioned movie hall.....unfortunately...the movie released today.....4 days after I made my return.....from God's own country....hmmm....lets talk about this movie now....which one..u ask???....its VINNAITHAANDI VARUVAAYA .....which translates to..... I'll cross the skies for You.... The movie comes from Gautham Menon....the man who made....Minnale....Vaaranam Aayiram....Kaakha Kaakha..... REHNA HAI TERE DIL MEIN .......and like his previous flick.....this time...too....the Hero...is a young jobless mechanical engineer.....who is more creative than technical......and Our dear... SILAMBARASAN .....wants to become a FILMMAKER.....but soon.....he falls for this fairly simple yet complicated Catholic malayalee girl....Jessie (played by Trisha)....

மன்னிப்பாய Mannipaaya Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya OST Shreya Ghoshal and AR Rehman My Rating - 9.1/10 Reflections Great track.....even though Shreya Ghoshal is the one who sizzles throughout the song....but the highlight of the song.....well....erm....its not the occassional Rehman who plies...but the chorus.....humming along with the warm string orchestrating in the backdrop...... Just a great song.....although...Omana Penne is still better.....yet this song...has its uniqueness too.... GREAT LYRICS......WONDERFUL... Lyrics (Translation) kadalinil meenaaga irundhavaL naan unakkena karai thaandi vandhavaL dhaan thudithirundhen tharaiyinile thirumbivittEn en kadalidame A fish in the ocean Crossed its length for you...found thy shore Struggled on the land so returned back to my ocean oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEnE mannipaaya mannipaaya.. . One day I smiled, the next day i frowned I buried you without killing yo

"First of all a HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY to all of  my INDIAN brothers and sisters" Once there was a video, that would embroil my heart and soul towards the television...........this was ...I don't know.....15 years ago....back in that small village in Kerala...where I was unaware about computers or cable television.....All I knew was that.....I would sing along that mesmerizing track....MILEY SUR MERA TUMHARA.....with the most glorious faces of the nation- a young Amitabh (err...in his 40s)...Kamal...Suhasini....Ravi Shankar ji...and the lost goes on,,,,and on....and on.... (whom I couldn't even recognize then...:P). And now, on the occassion of India's 60th Republic day celebrations, THE TIMES group has unwounded a present................PHIR MILE SUR...................A recompilation of that same track.....the same words..............but in a new package.......a new AVATAR.... Yes.....an effort on the part of India's leading Media Group...............a rather.
