Unhealthy Trend

Came to know that there are lot of dubbed movies[Originally in Telugu] to be released in Thamizh sooner. Here are some lists. Tholi Valappu as Hari, Kotha Katha as Puthu Kathai, Naa Ayina Chanti Pillodu as Neeya Naana, Naa Anevaadu as Vasu, King as Pattukkottai Azhagiri and Chingaari as Peyar Sandya, Thozhil Dasi[Original in Hindi]. Main reason which forces producers to go for dubbing is getting a dubbing rights would be much cheaper than getting a remake rights or for that matter to produce a new movie that too during these recession times. Also, it is not story which determines the hero, but the hero who determines the story especially in Tamil Industry or Southern Industry. There are few exceptional heroes who still depends on the storyline like Surya, Vikram, Prasanna among others. Better solution to put a full stop to this issue is make movies with moderate or low budgets and be sure to have a faith on storyline and screenplay rather than depending of star power because out of more than hundred tamil films released last year, only less than 20 films are superhits and made their producers profitable of which many are small budgeted movies with strong script.

Samsaram adhu minsaram

Got to see the movie 'Samsaram adhu Minsaram'[Released in 1986] yesterday in KTV. One of the real life movie about the joint family system and its issues of 80's. It could be even more better if it's said as a classic movie. Story is about how people in the joint family have their own views and the problem being raised as a result of this. Eventhough the movie is an out n out Visu movie, there is one person scores better than Visu and its none other than Veteran and national award winning actress Lakshmi. That too her acting at the climax is one of the highlights of the film. Everyone right from Visu, Manorama, Kamala kamesh, Raghuvaran, Chandrasekar, Delhi Ganesh, Kishmu done their part very well and the movie gives a feel as if we were one of the family member in that family for 2.5 hrs. I feel the talents of Manorama, Lakshmi have not been utilised to full extent. I am not aware of their performances in other languages but atleast in Tamil, I feel so. They are spontaneous actors. Regarding music, the soundtracks are really good. Most probably it would be our Maestro Ilayaraja only. Who else was there during 1980's and 1990's in the south film industry other than him giving such good music.. The comedy track is not separate, but along with movie and it pays well.
