Mugamoodi - A milestone

For Jiva it is a new avatar.  He has done his best but suffering like a puppet in the hands of director, being directed to do worthless adventures.  Honoring Bruce Lee in his efforts, remains inferior in performance to Narain.

Pooja Hegde disappoints tamil youths who mostly expect much glamour from the heroine nowadays.  No chances for her to express herself.  She appears and disappears.

Muga moodi is a new vision in tamil cinema but has not reached its destination.
Narain is the strength of the movie.  His dialogue in the climax "batman, superman, spiderman ..." is superb.  He excels in fighting too, especially in the climax, dying not seeking help from the hero.





Nazar is totally wasted.  At the end, surrendering to Muga moodi totally depending on him makes the whole police department ridiculous.
Mugamoodi - New efforts, entertaining but disappointing....

Jakkamma movie - A Dummy Piece

Jakkamma, a Tamil version of Malayalam Movie from Vinayan starred by Gautam and Mehana Raj is a complete failure.
Minus Points:
1.  Story is very weak and seems to be a copy of other films of the kind.
2.  Direction is worst and the end is so abrupt and disappointing.
3.  The sheep, bird and the devil house are of no help to the director.
4.  Comedy is irritating and silly.
5.  Songs are noisy and disgusting.
Plus Points:
1.  Heroine's Glamour, especially her navel show

Thoughtful questions:
1.  What is the need of song immediately after the murder of the heroine and her lover?
2.  Why should the sage who is shown as powerful and gives the powerful ring die in pathetic condition?
3.  Why did the director introduce the blind man and the girl, a victim to him? (just for rape scenes?)
4.  The heroine herself is totally powerless in the climax and she expresses her inability.  Why this kolaveri?

Mark: 10 / 100 (even the 10 marks for the glamour of meghanaraj only)

The First Tamil Cinema

Do you know the first Tamil cinema? You may have heard about but not sure. Am I correct? Know it. That is “Kalidas”, produced on 31st October 1931. The hero was P.G. Venkatesan and the heroine, T.P. Rajalakshmi. The story is nothing but how an illiterate shepherd poet is finally blessed with the goddess Kali with knowledge and stuff being answered by his wife’s prayer who is actually a princess. The film was really a big hit. You know, there are two amazing things about Kalidas – 1. There were about 50 songs in that film ( imagine how our people today would react in the theatre!). 2. The characters spoke not only Tamil but also Telugu and Hindi. What do you think about this film?
