Seems like movie of the year has finally arrived. Ananda Vikatan’s review of Thavamaai Thavamirundhu[needs uid/pass] would even make a Cheran basher, develop an urge to watch the movie.
Cheran has been writing a series for Vikatan on making of this movie. Vikatan’s overwhelming response could be a result of that but I choose to think that this is truly good cinema. All I could do is keep hoping that way until I get to watch it.
Even with a string of not-so-big movies and a long tail of media ventures failing, I was hoping that Spielberg’s Dreamworks SKG would never go away. But the ancient theory of big fish eating small fish happened to spill over Spielberg’s dreams too. And Paramount bought Dreamworks for $1.6 billion.
By no way one could write a tribute for the eaten-up production house of Spielberg, Dreamworks. I’ve been thinking atleast for 2 years that Mani Ratnam’s Madras Talkies should be cloning what Spielberg and his partners at Dreamworks are doing to Hollywood. So what where they doing ?
The new studio was portrayed as heralding a tectonic shift in the way the industry operates. The perception was fed by the principals themselves, with Katzenberg telling reporters at the launch news conference, “I look at the three of us and think this has got to be the Dream Team.”
It’s hard to think that we may not see the boy throw the fishing rod from the moon. It was a symbol of good cinema. There is always another hope left.
Shankar & his team manages a mallu back-up. A hefty back-up thats arguably better than the originally chosen ‘one’. Big B would have been nice-to-have on the tamil screen. Still, I’m lovin’ it !!
…wait. Watch Vanamey Ellai or e-mail Sneha. Seems like many BPO/IT guys knew this much before us. Its a pity !!
