Vijay Sethupathi and BB show Director open clash

First time in BiggBoss history, host and show director have an open clash in front of the contestants and shooting crew. On the sets of EVP film city in Chennai, Vijay Sethupathi (VJS) host of BB8 Tamil started the show by asking contestants about their experiences of meeting their parents. One of the contestants Jacqueline, a Star Vijay product said that she was disappointed that co- contestant Jeffry was not questioned. Jeffry a Gaana singer from Chennai stood up and picked up a quarrel with her. Jeffry started to use the Chennai slang and all the while VJS was a spectator. Then Bigg Boss voice came on air and said that as he was using coarse language in presence of VJS, he was summarily evicted.

At this point, VJS cut in and said that if BB wanted to send Jeffry out, they were free to do. “ Please do not use my name to send him out as I am not game for it “ he told BB. Jeffry readily agreed to quit the show and went on stage with VJS. VJS said that breaking from convention it became compulsory to send out a contestant on a Saturday and named Jeffry. Jeffry in the footage shown to viewers was seen laughing and joking. While he was talking to contestants on stage with VJS, he found that the host was standing a few feet away. He called VJS and latter put a hand on his shoulder. Jeffry told VJS that he was feeling afraid. Probably of the fact that his clash was with Star Vijay channel guys. One of the major spinoffs from BB show was that contestants get to appear on the Star Vijay shows.  VJS then kept repeatedly telling Jeffry that he will meet him outside the house. In short VJS has offered help to Jeffry to get offers or include him in his films.

VJS argument was that Jeffry was a brat and used coarse language and was aggressive in physical tasks. He was a favorite of a few women in the show and BB looked the other way. VJS said that he had in many subtle ways told Jeffry to be cautious but BB on the other hand did not take any action or punish him. Now that BB wants to send Jeffry out, they were bringing his name in , was VJS argument.

Jeffry gaana singer is most fav of all women inside the house. A contestant Anshitha says that she would keep him in her house as he is her `brother’.

Vikram movie review: Kaithi + Master +Kamal Hassan ; only for gangster movie buffs

Vikram , re- entry of Kamal Hassan leaves no stone unturned to make it  big at box office. Yesterday, director Lokesh tweeted - Pls see or revisit Kaithi before seeing Vikram. Reason is that some of the characters in that film and roll over of scenes come in Vikram. If you have not seen it- nothing to worry. Anyway there is no need to say revisit Master - as it is still fresh in our minds.

A larger than life RAW ( bad days for RAW ref- Beast) agent is coming out of retirement. Reason being that his son is dead and trail leads to a bad cop ( Chemban) and a drug mafia kingpin Vijay Sethupathi with another undercover cop ( Fazil) on his trail . Now first half takes it's own time to build up even tough it has a racy start. From interval, film tempo builds up and there is no lag. Surya in the climax is a scene stealer.

Vijay Sethupathi has meaty portions that give him an instant appeal to viewers and Faahad needless to say is just brilliant. Compared to them, Kamal Hassan though the pivotal and USP of the film has taken a role that does not outshine these actors.

Though action choreographers AnbuAriv have directed most of the scenes, Lokesh signature is evident in many scenes like  the kid and Kamal or in the VJS scenes. Anirudh BGM is just apt and cinematography ( Girish) an added muscle to the technical excellence. For a gangster movie genre buff, Vikram is paisa vasool  and those looking for a family entertainer it is a red alert. Has excessive violent scenes but nothing revolting and the gangs are not that scary to frighten weak hearted women and kids. In fact, these baddies are a funny lot.
