Vimal should have tasted success like Sivakarthikeyan - Director Lingusamy

 

The movie 'Thudikkum Karagangal' is produced by K. Annadurai under Odion Talkies. Veludas directed this film starring Vimal as the lead. Veludas and Kalidas have also produced the film as co-producers. Misha Narang has played the lead role.

The shooting has been completed and the post-production work is currently underway. Meanwhile, the teaser launch of the film was held at the Tamil Nadu Film Directors Association building in the presence of famous directors.

The event was attended by Directors Eghil, Lingusamy, Pramesh, Rameshkhanna, Bhuvana, Santhosh and Trichy District Distributor Jinnah among others as special guests.

Speaking at the event, director Lingusamy said, “They have given the title of the film starring Superstar Rajini. While re-using the titles of some of his more modestly run films, sentimentally those films have been huge hits. Naan Mahaan Alla is an example of that and this movie is sure to be a hit.

Actor Vimal has acted in good films like Kedi Billa Gilladi Ranga, Manjapai. He should have come to a place like Sivakarthikeyan by now. In between there was a little bit of a hindrance due to some mistake. Movies like Lovetoday, which are now considered icons, become huge hits after their release with fan support. When I saw the teaser of this movie nothing seems wrong.. This movie will be a big hit..

It is wrong for the Producers' Association to decide not to screen Tamil films during the festive season in Andhra Pradesh. All the films releasing now are doing well. It was a golden age for cinema. Such a problem should not arise at this time. A solution should be found by the right people to discuss the issue of successor release. If someone takes such a decision with a narrow mind, surely the cinema will change like before Vaaris and after Vaaris. So what has happened now is a bit of a ruckus. I hope it will be fixed soon,” he said

Producer Annadurai said, “Director Veludas is my friend. Like a brother. I came forward to make this film for him. Till now I don't know what the story of this movie is. I didn't even ask for that."

Director Veludas said, “I have been traveling in cinema for a long time. So producer Annadurai started this film to see me as a director. Right after the start of the film, he never came to the set even for a day after that, he handed over the entire responsibility to us.

Speaking to the director, Pramparau said, 'The producer of this film never listened to the story. Today, no producer listens to the story.. There is an environment where if the hero likes it, it is enough. Producer RB Chowdhury, who introduced nearly 43 assistant directors like Lingusamy, Eshil and myself, would listen to the story for each of his films. After that, he will send the story to the hero who is suitable for that story. So he got continuous success.. Now he is going to make his hundredth film. But today the situation has turned upside down as it is enough if only the hero gets the story.

Veludas, the director of this film, will come to a good place like AR Murugadoss. I have seen this movie. Director Veludas has handled the script perfectly. It doesn't look like a new director directed the film.

Currently, the Telugu Producers Association has decided that Tamil films should not be screened during the festive season in Andhra Pradesh and Telugu films should be given priority.. We don't watch films by language. KGF 2 was released around the same time as Beast released for Pongal this year, and the success of the first part of the film already saw the release of KGF 2 in more theaters than Beast.

Similarly, when Ponni's Selvan was released, the Kannada film Gandhara was well received here, so more theaters were allotted. We see all together with affection as Dravidians. But they only see us as Tamils.

The producer and director of Varisu are from the Telugu film industry.. Only the hero is Tamil.. So the hero is cornered..

Now the new procedure they have come up with is like humiliating us. This cannot be dismissed as an ordinary issue. It's a moral issue.

The South Indian Chamber of Commerce should intervene in this as it should take a fair decision for all South Indian languages. It would be a mistake to remain silent.

Apart from that, the Tamil Producers Association should also have a voice in this matter. If the successor film does not release in Telugu, there is a possibility that the problem will become so big that no other language film will release here. Because it is a matter that can arouse our anger and emotion."

Tamil web series Vadhanadhi from December 2 from Suzhal makers on Amazon

 Following Amazon Prime Video's original Tamil web series ' Suzhal - The Vortex', Pushkar-Gayatri's own film company Wallwatcher Films has released the preview of the upcoming web series 'Vadhandhi- Fable of Veloni'.

'Vadhandthi  - The Fable of Veloni' is an upcoming new original Tamil web series directed by Andrew Lewis. Newcomer Sanjana Krishnamurthy will make her debut in the role of Veloni. With him S. J. Suriya, Vivek Prasanna, Nasser, Laila, Kumaran Thangarajan, Smriti Venkat and others have acted. Cinematography by Saravanan, this web series has music composed by Simon K King. A preview of the web series Vathanti The Fable of Veloni has been released on Amazon Prime Video from December 2nd.

Meanwhile, at the preview launch of the web series 'Vadhandhi The Fable of Veloni' held in Chennai, Amazon Prime Video Originals President Aparna Purohit, director Andrew Lewis, SJ Surya, Nasser, Laila, Vivek Prasanna, Smriti Venkat, Kumaran Thangarajan, producers and directors Pushkar - The film crew including Gayatri attended.

Speaking on the occasion, Aparna Purohit, Head of Amazon Prime Video Originals said, “This is a special day for us. Following the original Tamil series 'Suzhal', a web series 'Vadhandhi The Fable of Veloni' is in the works. It is produced by Pushkar Gayatri. Director Andrew Lewis has masterfully directed the film. The series will release in 240 territories from December 2. This work is great for us. Beautiful. brisk. It is a creation with unlimited boundaries. It can give the audience a new experience full of magic. Each episode has interesting twists that keep viewers guessing. The plot of this serial is set in the backdrop of a small town in Tamil Nadu. In this series, the journey of a police officer in search of the truth, people who tell lies and people who tell untruths have many interesting layers. Did he finally discover the truth? Isn't it? The sensational series is 'Rumour- The Fable of Veloni'. I am eagerly waiting for its release like others.

Pushkar-Gayatri, producers of the series, said, “This is our second foray with Prime Video. Prime Video is an unparalleled digital platform for bringing quality works to a global audience. After telling the story of the 'Vadanti' series, they are deeply involved and concerned about it and continue to give their cooperation to the creation. Working with Amazon Prime Video has also been a great experience for us.

S. J. Surya is the best man. One who has unlimited positive static energy. He has shown a new dimension of acting in this series. Andrew Lewis, the film's director, was a classmate at Loyola College. After completing his degree, S. J. Joined Surya as an assistant. So, there is a lot of compatibility and communication between him and us. In this series we introduce a young woman named Sanjana as the heroine.

The long-running web series has just made its debut in Tamil and is gaining popularity. It has introduced a new creative world for Tamil. We have Amazon Prime Video to thank for this. Working with them for the second time was a pleasant experience. Usually in the Tamil film industry we write screenplays for two or two and a half hour films. In contrast to that, writing an eight-episode six- or six-and-a-half-hour story is challenging. We worked hard and wrote the screenplay for the spin-off series that was released in our production. But the web series 'Rumour - The Fable of Veloni' is directed by director Andrew Lewis who has written and directed the entire screenplay for eight episodes. Aparna Purohit and Shalini from Prime Video who read through, approved the sequel and worked with us till the end are unforgettable.

We owe thanks to Prime Video for dubbing and releasing this serial in 240 territories and over 30 languages ​​with subtitles in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi. The Japanese, South Korean people and South American people are going to see the story told by director Andrew Lewis. It can only be offered by the Amazon Prime Video digital platform. Especially suitable for long story telling.. I thank them again for taking this type of web series internationally. I think surprises like these are the exquisite beauty of the journey of the web series 'Rumour - The Fable of Veloni'.''

Actor S. J. Suriya said, “Andrew Lewis, the director of this series, is my assistant. I feel proud to act in his first web series under his direction. He already told me a story in 2017. Then he said to him, 'The two of us working together will create great expectations. So write a strong story,' I said. This time he came with a good story. Thriller has a lot of entertainment in it. It also has emotional stories. It will attract the audience a lot.

The clear planning of producers Pushkar and Gayatri, the international collaboration of Prime Video and the hard work of director Andrew Lewis are all my blessings. That is, I feel privileged to have acted in a web series for the first time in collaboration with an internationally renowned digital platform called Amazon Prime Video under the direction of my assistant.

It is only through the work of talented directors that an actor can gain fame as a great actor. In that way, I am sure that I will get the best actor name as I have acted in the serial 'Vadanti' directed by my assistant. 'Truth will happen. There is a verse in this series as ``Poi Philum'' which is spoken naturally by the people of Kanyakumari area and it is suitable for this series. It can be incorporated as a tag line.''

Director Andrew Lewis said, “Gossip - not just in this society, it's all over the world. Generally speaking, I think gossip was the first thing that man invented for his entertainment. In the chorus of 'Yagavarainum na kakka..', even if one cannot control anything, one should at least know how to control the words that come out of one's mouth. This is Thirukkural. No one has told the story of this Thirukkurala in such a strong and poignant way. I thought maybe it would be nice to say this politely. I always thought this would be good.

Three years ago I met Aparna Ma'am of Amazon Prime Video in Mumbai. I narrated the story of the 20 minute gossip series. They immediately understood the content of the story accurately and asked to start the tasks with enthusiasm. He also gave creative freedom. I thank him at this moment for this. After that I wrote the script for this series for 11 months. Producers and friends Pushkar-Gayatri read the entire script and gave their best advice here and there.

I started my film journey from SJ Suriya. Directing him in this series feels like a dream come true. SJ Surya is the director and actor. But once on the sets he is only an actor. I would like to thank him for this. I would also like to take this moment to express my gratitude to the actors Laila, Sanjana, Vivek Prasanna, Nasser, Kumaran Thangarajan and the technical artists including Saravanan, Simon K King, Kevin who have acted in this series.

The preview of Amazon Prime Video's web series 'Rumour The Fable of Veloni' is out. It is visited by many visitors. The series will release on December 2nd in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi and more than 30 international languages ​​in 240 territories.

Zombie Reddy fame Prasanth Varma next ` Hanu-Man teaser out

 Creative director Prasanth Varma who made the first Telugu zombie film Zombie Reddy creates Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe to make original Indian superhero movies and HANU-MAN starring talented young hero Teja Sajja is the first film from the multiverse.

Prasanth Varma previously introduced Teja Sajja’s character through a glimpse which created a huge impact among cine-goers. Later he introduced other lead characters through posters. Today, he came up with something unimaginable. The crazy Pan India film’s teaser has been unveiled today.

The teaser begins with showcasing a waterfall and a massive HANUMAN statue in a standing posture with a mace in his hand can be seen. In the background, we can hear the chanting of Ram to give a devotional ecstasy in the end.

A light in the hill with some creatures doing the act of circumambulation (Pradakshina) gives us the sign of the arrival of the ‘Supreme Being’. The quote- The Ancients Shall Arise Again, states the same.

Teja Sajja makes an entry as an underdog who lies unconscious on the shore of the sea. The fearful face of Amritha Aiyer, followed by the solar eclipse indicates the advent of evil. Vinay Rai is the ‘Man Of Doom’ and he is petrifying. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar makes an entry as a bride who bashes baddies with a coconut palm.

The transformation of Hanumanthu from an underdog to a superhero is a sight to behold. Holding a mace, standing tall on the hill with a helicopter approaching him, and finally showing his superpowers by flying in the sky, it looks as if he’s possessed by Lord Hanuman. The last visuals of Lord Hanuma performing Tapas and chanting Ram will blow our minds.

The masterwork of Prasanth Varma and his team can be ostensible in every frame and we are transported to the astonishing world of Anjanadri through this 121-second visual extravaganza.

Shivendra makes us glued to the screen with his amazing camerawork, wherein the music director Gowrahari makes us fall into a trance with his incredible background score. Production designer Srinagendhra Tangala created a fantastic fantasy world. The production values of Primeshow Entertainment are wondrous. The VFX work is of top-notch quality and has elevated the scenes to a new level.

Teja Sajja is a champ in the making and he looks very much convincing as the superhero. From his get-up to his body language to his action, everything is just spectacular. Amritha Aiyer looks like an angel. Others played their parts efficiently.

The teaser has set sky-high expectations on the movie and we can’t hold our excitement to watch the movie on big screens.

The film is produced prestigiously on a grand scale by K Niranjan Reddy, while Smt Chaitanya presents it. Asrin Reddy is the executive producer, Venkat Kumar Jetty is the Line Producer and Kushal Reddy is the associate producer.

HANU-MAN is presently in post-production stages and the makers will soon announce the release date.

Thalaivasal Vijay as 1921 rebellion hero runs into censor problem

 

The Malayalam film `1921 – puzha muthal puzha vare’ which has Thalaivasal Vijay playing the pivotal role has been denied certification by censors as it would create communal disharmony in the country.  He plays the role of Haji the man who led the rebellion against the British . Sources say that in the film, Haji and his men plundered the Hindus and murdered them. Vijay had acted as Sree Narayana Guru in Malayalam film Yugapurushan and was last seen in ` Arattu’.

In the first of the series to saffronize Variyan Kunnathu Kunjahammed Haji acted by Thalaivsal Vijay , the hero of  Malabar rebellion of 1921, the film `1921 – puzha muthal puzha vare’ directed by Akbar Ali has been denied certification. The film maker has moved the High Court. Akbar Ali who facing criticism for supporting BJP has named him as Ramasimhan Aboobakker .

 A tweet by BJP politician T G Mohandas said Sir

 

@ianuragthakur

we, from Kerala,were desparately tweeting to get CBFC Certificate to the Malayalam film Puzha Muthal Puzha Vare on 1921 Hindu Genocide. Our requests were ignored. Now the poor producer Ramasimhan has approached KeralaHC. We sadly understand that we are orphans

This post is in contrast to the earlier stance of Ali Akbar that his film has not been denied certification and that he would release it after Onam last year. Media reports said that the film was denied certification and in appeal it went to the regional committee. The regional committee too backed the censor board. Ali then claimed that he had an adult certificate as he has shown the ~ 1921 riots” and so there was bloodshed and not any rape scenes.

The Malabar rebellion hero Kunjuahammed Haji came into focus when leading director Ashiq Abu and actor Prithviraj announced last June, that they were making a film on his role in the Independence Struggle. Director P  Kunjumuhamed and stage director Shaheed Variyamkunnan too announced films on the same character. Ali Akbar joined the fray to ` show the true face of the hero of the rebellion’.

BJP was keen to portray the Haji as a villain who plundered Hindus during the rebellion and other section out to glorify him. Prithiviraj backed out from the project.

Now the tweet from BJP fellow traveler shows that the first attempt has been not got the backing from the national leadership . The anti BJP camp says that the idea is to remove some of the heroes from the history books Dictionary of Martyrs: India’s freedom struggle 1857-1947, released in 2019 by PM Modi shows Kunjuahamed Haji and Ali Musaliar as freedom fighters came as a big blow to Hindu nationalists.

As soon as the Hindu nationalists raised objections, the soft copy was removed from the website of Cultural Affairs ministry and as per official explanation it was to be issued after the ` mistakes’ were corrected.

Now that the BJP in Kerala and the national leadership has obviously washed it’s hands off. The revising committee of Censor is headed by Gautami the actress who was to contest on BJP ticket in last Tamil Nadu Assembly polls. The Union minister of State looking after the portfolio that oversees such issues is Murugan the BJP MP and hailing from Tamil Nadu.

The propaganda is that Haji and his men plundered Hindus and looted their bank as well raped their woman. He is no freedom fighter but a plunderer is the story by BJP. Leftists say that by tarnishing Haji, the agenda is to remove Vayalar Punapara rebellion heroes from history books. As things stand, the ball is in Kerala High Court.

 

Band confirms our report -Kantara Kannada blockbuster film's music lift from Kerala band and film AK ?

 

On October 12 th, we  posted the story and now Kerala music band Thaikkudam Bridge   has confirmed it through a FB post;  Now it has to be seen whether music director Jakes would confirm the lift from his film Ayyappanum Koshiyum (AK) by Kantara music director. It is unlikely as the film's hero Prithiviraj is distributing Kantara in Kerala and Jakes is also scoring music for the actor's upcoming film.  Read : https://www.thesouthfirst.com/entertainment/thaikkudam-bridge-accuses-kantara-creative-team-of-copyright-infringement/

As Kannada film Kantara's Telugu and Hindi version is to release this Friday after the Kannada version was hailed by the industry , a tweet has come which has posted the Varaha Roopam in the film and pointed out that music director Ajanessh Loknath has lifted it from Kerala based Thaikudam Bridge whose music Navarasam brought out by Mathrubhumi Music. Netizens have pointed out that the similarities are too many and that Thaikudam’s Navarasam had come out five years ago.

The Kannada film director- actor Rishab Shetty is currently the toast of the film industry across all languages. Allu Aravind the veteran Telugu producer and son in law of Chiranjeevi is distributing the film in Andhra/ TS and he said that the film made him feel that he has lot more to learn about the art of film making.

A netizen said much of the musical score in the film is a ripoff from other films- Song Sringra Sriye is lift of Marathi song  Apsara Aali in Natrang released in 2010 and got actress Sonalee Kulkarani wide appreciation for the lawani song. Similarly the Rebel song  music is a lift from theme music of Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum - 2020 film remade in Telugu as Bheemla Nayak . The theme music Mundoor Maadan, a folk song on deity Maadan was composed by Jakes Bejoy. Jakes song Amma for the Telugu film Oka Oka jeevitham was a hit.

Some defended it as inspiration and not a `lift’. However the plagiarism charge has taken lot of sheen

 

 

Troll Enku

 

@trollenku

 

If you find any resemblance of Varaha Roopam of Kanthara don't call it Plagiarism. Because this album song is 5 years old. You know what I mean

Film reviews under scrutiny as flops numbers grow - Overview

Hindi film `Chup’ directed by R Balki has won five star rating from critics but the box office numbers are a disappointment. As the movie deals partly with a topic of film criticism and its impact on film goers and creators, it would not be a major embarrassment if the critics had given Baki a single star. The person who benefited most from Chup was Dulquer Salmaan as the Bollywood critics found him to be good actor.

Chup subject that is about film criticism and critics, is very relevant. The common refrain that I get is that your generation put across the good and bad of a film in a way that it did not drive away the audience. Now the platform of print media has been pushed back and comes in YouTube reviewers. Film Producers and Directors in Chennai- Kochi are crying saying that their films bombed because of bad reviews.  It is not any newbie director or actor crying .Gautham Menon while cutting the celebration cake of YTK success meet tells the media who came to cover this – These reviewers are spoiling our bread and butter and on twiiter he talks like a Don to a film critic. Vishal as Actor’s Body President wanted producer’s council to impose an embargo on reviews for three days from release of a film.

Now another lethal gang of film critics have arrived. Apart from reviewing the film, in coming days they spin off collection figures to show it is a profit. Producers say this breed is more harmful than the critics. Producers believe that if an analyst's box office collection co say that a film is a flop in opening weekend, then those fence sitters decide to dump the movie with low attendance. In Kerala, there is a sizable number of independent box office trackers and in Chennai, it is limited to two or three.

I happened to read the review in The New Indian Expresss about Chup. The reviewer writes - “This is all, of course, an exaggeration. Who would kill a film critic?” wonders Sunny Deol’s investigative cop at one point. The sad (yet wholly realistic) answer is that no one, absolutely no one would kill a film critic. We don’t matter and that’s just the way it is”.

 The answer is that the media that he is writing for shuld have a readership. If a trade analyst account has lakhs of followers , reviews do matter. Otherwise Why would Ranbir Kapoor soon after the Brahmastra  trade report was put out see that the trade analyst account get blocked ?. A great actor like Mohalal who faced brickbats for his film Marrakar went on record asking questions like What do  critics know of cinema – Do they know about editing?, he asked.

In Kerala, any negative review is called planned degrading. Counter promotions too take place. Take the case of Dulquer Salmaan (antagonist in Chup) when Sita RamamTelugu dubbed Malayalam version got released in Kerala, weekend went almost empty. Dulquer thought had he had a fan base that would go gaga over any film of his.  YouTubers who are DQ fans chided fan clubs for deserting the film. Next, we get shots of a few cars outside a theater and saying stock lines – Family crowds have accepted it and so all evening and night shows are full. They kept away from the practice of showing the crowds at the café inside or coming out. Next, we hear it has broken records set by any dubbed Malayalam film in Kerala.

Though Chup deals with written words, the scenario today is the spoken word. First Day First Show viewer’s comments on YT sites that are free from rigging, no holds reviews loaded with sarcasm and those who without these tools call a spade a spade. YT sites on the payroll and those who are run by fans too join in to get the ear but viewers see through this game. Take the case of Ajith’s Vallimai. Except for pro Ajith YT sites, it was slammed but the film is considered a hit by Producer. That has been the case with Vijay’s Beast and Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe. At the same time, STR’s Maanaadu and Kamal Hassan’s Vikram was critically acclaimed and box office blockbusters. Such cases of film critics and viewers on the same page is rare.

So, does print media reviews not have any role? To put it plainly, NO. The mainstream newspapers in Chennai, hub of multiplexes put out reviews that are mostly a watered-down view and sort of a tight rope walking. Why? Film Advertisements, no doubt. What about newspapers, where the advertisements do not come? The  INE critic comment applies here  - We don’t matter and that’s just the way it is.

Let us move to box office trackers in Chennai- Kochi. I have yet to see anybody like Taran Adarsh (Mumbai) who puts out authentic box office figures. A very few really come with real story and all others are just putting out the handouts by producer – actor PR men and in a great hurry to push it to the Rs 100 crore club. Most of these

Inflated figures given out by this industry trackers lead to a cake cutting event covered by media and to tell all have won. The trackers have pocketed the money and moved on. An average viewer who logs into a Book My Show site to book a ticket for a film that celebrated a success on third day of release will see that the film is not on the booking chart. Ponniyin Selvam wotldwide gross is Rs200 crores puts out Producer. Trade analyst says it is Rs 230 crores.!!!

 

Let's move to Hyderabad and Bengaluru.  Mohanlal advised   the Kerala film press – Look at Telugu film press. They are fully supportive of films and that is why the industry is big and growing. Truth is that the growth story of Tollywood has no link to film criticism. Only difference from Tamil- Malayalam is that the criticism is not as harsh   but all the same, bad films are called bad and films do flop in Tollywood and with rapid succession. For one film success, twenty fade away on a weekend.

I remember S S Rajamouli speaking at IIT Madras. He said that those days were gone when Gudipudi Srihari, the critic wrote about a film’s good point and what went wrong. He called the current lot as half-baked critics. He openly stated that it was the audience view that was above a critic as they came to see a film and like it. The critic came to find faults with the film,e pointed. This comment on stage came soon after Baahubali 1 had released. Chiranjeevi films were till the other day -all mass films and entertainers that Telugu moviegoers were waiting to see. But after,   Acharya bombed and  all changed YouTubers mauled it badly. At the same time, Balakrishna’s Akhanda which was torn to pieces by critics but  was the biggest blockbuster. Sai Pallavi’s Gargi was critic’s favorite and it sank without a trace.

Kannada film critics have no major tussle with the industry as such. Kannada film reviews are not very harsh and generally gloss over bad films. After KGF, English press or the so-called National media started looking towards Kannada movies and now they are ones that are slamming them. For KGF 2, Indian Express gave it 1.5 stars and NDTV 2 stars. A Kannada film Kantera which less known has caught the national media /

After the South films like Baahubali KGF franchise to RRR being hits in Bollywood, there is an entire new set of YouTuber critics in Mumbai who just waiting to slam any Hindi film and hail every South film ( dubbed) releasing in Mumbai as ` record breaking opening’. PS` has got all the right stars but Hindi audience is not biting it. A Hindi remake of Tamil film Vikram Vedha oo with Hrithik – Saif Ali Khan is not working either Prabhas  Adipursh teaser in Hindi has people asking whether it is comic book strip. In my school- college days, I used to hear ` learned’ film folk talk about M Krishnan Nair and a Kozhikodan review

Later as Screen correspondent, I had the job to negotiate with Kerala Film Chamber to get advertisements at a mutually agreed rate. The deal was struck and advertisements came in. Now Kochi edition of IE was not getting film advertisements and I was asked to deal with it. Chamber  had two options- write good reviews or do not write reviews. Madras  office asked Kochi to stop reviews and start accepting advertisements and carry film news given by film PRO’s. This is my contribution to film criticism.
