THUPPAKKI REVIEW: Entertaining and Engaging!

Helllooo!
I am back with Thuppakki! Yes.. the Vijay starrer.. A good movie which has good acting from all sides.
Definitely one of the most entertaining film of the year!
Vijay as Jagadish: He has proved that he is the hero of the masses..yet again! He looks very composed and carries off his character with style. He reacts to situations appropriately and does not disappoint the audience. He looks as fit as a fiddle and also seems to have worked for perfection in his Hindi dialogues.

Kajal Agarwal as Nisha: Jagadish's lady love. She fits into the role perfectly and has worked a lot on her lip sync. She looks charming. Her dubbed voice is annoying though.

Vidyut Jamwal: People always have various reasons to watch a certain film again. My reason for watching thuppakki again would be VIDYUT JAMWAL. He's the show stopper..He's one of these good looking villians in Indian cinema. He flaunts his awesome physique and performs the baddie role with ease! (Ladies..Watch out!)

Others: The cast also includes Sathyan, Jayram ,Deepti Nambiar et al. Sathyan comes in as Vijay's friend , Jayram as Vijay's senior officer(who plays a comical role) and Deepti as Vijay's sister. They all have done justice to their respective roles.

A.R Murugadoss has done an excellent job. The story flows smoothly and keeps you engaged. The dialogues and screenplay are equally excellent. He also appears in a cameo role in the famous 'Google google..' song!
The biggest disappointment- Harris Jeyraj's music. The songs are boring! It arouses the feeling of 'I've heard it somewhere'. The BGMs seem to have been copied from Harris' previous compositions (Ayan, KO etc.). The songs which keep coming once in a while are the biggest turn offs in the film. You'll probably be like "Is there going to be another song?" whenever the love sequences pop up!

On the whole, Thuppakki is entertaining and engaging.. It is definitely a treat to watch in all aspects!Enjoy watching it! :)

Last but not lonely!

Hello Bloggies!
It's been a long time since I posted something new.
My English teacher in my college had asked us to pen a story or a poem on the topic 'I am the last person on this earth'.
Initially I thought how jobless English teachers were to come up with such ideas. I made it a point to sit quietly and look at my fellow classmates work on it and present it before the class.
I then realised what kind of a loser I am because every person in every corner of the class seemed to be seriously writing. A couple of them had also finished writing and were already presenting it to the class. I immediately took out my pen and started drafting few of my wildest thoughts on survival on this earth as the last person.I thought technically, scientifically and all the '-callys' one could come up with. I then got this awesome rhyme scheme on my head and started noting it down before I could forget it. And you won't believe it- I actually came out with this:

LAST BUT NOT LONELY!

Dark and deep, awaken from sleep
Hearing a sound like a weep
Got up and realized the world was gone
And I was the only one left alone
Then who was the one who knocked?
Because the things out there never walked
I trembled with fright, with no-one near
Too scared to even drop a tear
The knock and the weep continued harder
And I couldn’t take it any longer
I opened the door, filled with fear
And lo! It was my brother, Oh my dear!

I suddenly felt proud of myself and was thinking of how my teacher would react to it. By that time almost 30 students had presented their stories to ma'am. I rose and rushed towards her to show my demiurgic piece. The moment I reached ma'am's table, 'Trrrrrrrrriingggggggggggg'. What else? The bell rang. I still didn't lose hope and handed my book to her. She glanced at me and told "Later, please!". I swore at myself. What a waste of my creativity! I found myself in dismay for the next few minutes and then wondered "For what reason do I have a blog?". Now you know why I've posted this here.
