Dare to watch Urumi only if u r willing to get bored… Its just a Santhosh sivan portfolio of Prithviraj and his amazing camera work.. Some breathtaking art direction and cinematography has saved some pride for the movie but at times you feel a bit too much specially the way the last few war scenes..Too much slow motion doesn’t gel with the portrayal of fight using urumi in Kalaripayattu, the classical martial art of Kerala..
The only scenes u wont take ur eyes off r those wen the 4 beauties take the center-stage.. overall a real bad attempt by the whole team spoiling expectation of many movie lovers… Music and BGM can be given a thumbs up only because its mostly folk and a new cup of tea for Deepak Dev which he has done well.. Sound Mixing is A class..
Commendable performances from Prabhu deva and Aarya.. Prithviraj looks macho but a bit bulky at times in de screen, only positive being his gud dialogue delivery but overall fails to carry the movie as the protagonist!! Prithviraj had roped in Tabu and Vidya Balan just for the sake of their star value and masala factor as they just don’t have any special importance in the movie..
All hype no glory in the end for the so called upcoming superstar of Malayalam films…
Parents
December 1, 2009
Hi guys.. Its long time since I wrote something on my blog.. Well another year gonna get over. It was the worst year in my life. There was a lot of pain that life presented to me. Well its true that you get stronger with each hurdle in life. Life teaches you a new lesson everyday whether you want to learn or not.
It’s always easy to say that everything happens for a reason and also there is no point in thinking of what has happened and that we have to move forward with life. But is it that easy to move on. Well it wasn’t for me. The night I lost my father I will never forget in my life. It was an unexpected event but that taught me a lot of things and also made me repent for lot of things I did. Parents are the irreplaceable part of one’s life and we don’t understand that till we lose them. We say they don’t understand us and there is a lot of generation gap between us. But do we really think from their view-point. We always speak from our side. I don’t tell that they are always right but it is a fact that we don’t think on their perspective of things.
Every person in this world want to be loved by every one around him. Its true and same with parents too. They not only want their kids to love them but they want to see that love expressed to them. That’s the thing which most of us don’t do. We say we love our parents and care for them but do we really express them. I doubt; because I don’t express though I love them. When I say any harsh words I repent and feel very sad inside but I never run to them and say I am sorry I did a mistake. If this is done then the relationship would be on a level that most of us could never imagine.
Once I was told by a person “try to say sorry for each mistake you think you have done to your parents. Try and hug your parents each day and express your care and see the sea change in the relationship. You will feel much better and the comfort level that would exist at your home is inexpressible.” I don’t remember who said this now. But its right though I haven’t done it. 🙂
The self-esteem and individuality that every person carries is his own enemy and the person never understands this. He thinks he would become very small in front of his parents if he tells the simple word sorry. But the question is if he can’t get shed his ego in front of his own parents then where will he?
Most of us take our parents for granted. We reveal most of our secrets to our friends but not to their parents. Why does this happen????? This is a simple thing. When we make a silly mistake in our childhood we admit but parents jump on you and scold you. We get frustrated. When we do a mistake and tell a friend he doesn’t jump on you neither scolds you but he tells in your own language and feels your mind and speaks calmly. This increases the comfort level you have with your friends and you are much more open with them than to your parents. But mostly if you think the end advice or solution that a “good friend” would have given and that your parents would have given would be similar though the approach would be different. It’s all in the mind..
I always try and be good to my mother but its a tough job being always with her and making her happy always. I know I am very bad but I am not able to correct myself. Hope she understands me one day….
Legal or illegal – Gay Sex
July 4, 2009
Well nice topic to blog on right. The thing why i am writing this blog today is that consensual gay sex between adults has been made legal by the Delhi High Court. Funny isn’t it. May be funny for us who are not in such relationship but for whom who are in, there has been a door opened for them and now they are free to express themselves in public.

Actually this news has made a great impact across the media all over… Some people are celebrating as if an end has to come to their struggle. But the majority are apprehensive about the whole verdict. People are uncomfortable in dealing with such issues. Many are not coming forward to discuss this topic. Its true even i am not comfortable to see the discussion on this topic at home in front of my mother. its all in the mind. We are not brought up in such a culture and all these things are new and its all the western effect. Nothing can be done other than accepting the fact that there are people in this world who are extremely different from others and who think on the lines that others wont even dream off.. its as simple as that. Its just that they get pleasure with same sex while others with their opposite sex.
Well lot has been said and done about this. But its really a danger zone area. We are in a generation were youngsters are encouraged to try new things and they are indeed trying very indifferent things. If this is given such encouragement by the law those days are not far when men will say its better to have relation with men rather than going to women who are such unfaithful creatures and its better will stay away from them. Well impossible is nothing as they say… So all you fathers be ready for the day when your son comes and say’s Dad my life partner is a guy. Parents who go against love marriage between a guy and a gal, What will they do when they have to face such shocks…
Only advantage India has with this new law is that there will be good control in population increase because till date its not proved that men can reproduce themselves. Funny things happen so in future this may also change. Anyways news channels has got a new hot topic to discuss till the next one comes. But this time most of the politicians/celebrities are not that ready to comment on this issue. Think they are happy to play the waiting game and see what are the opinions of others.
OK friends take time and think whom you want as life partner. Same sex, Opposite sex , Or single and happy…
I am at present single and happy!!! Applications are invited only from the opposite sex (Girls-Above average) 🙂
So until next blog its Mahadevan signing off.. Enjoy your weekend with your loved ones.. Take good care of yourself…
