    A Peck on the Cheek – Reaching Out

    This is how Kansas City Star has rated Mani Ratnam‘s Kannathil Muthamittal [A Peck on the Cheek], which is being featured in this year’s Kansas Film Festival. Though with small mis-informations, this small preview, would make Kannathil Muthamittal get a warm welcome in the fest.

    “A Peck on the Cheek”: This recent Bollywood hit from writer/director Mani Ratnam stars the adorable P.S. Keerthana as a young girl who, upon learning from her Indian parents that she was adopted, begins a journey to strife-torn Sri Lanka to find out who her biological parents are.

    Part war film, part domestic tearjerker and part musical (if it doesn’t have singing and dancing, it isn’t Bollywood), this winning entry should provide local audiences with a fitting introduction to one of the most popular cinema styles in the world today.

    Also read about the review of other films which are to be screened in the Kansas Film Festival 2004.

    Here is another review of Kannathil Muthamittal made in the Toronto Film Festival 2002.

    A movie release, a hunger strike and some humanity

    On the event of Partipan’s Kudaikkul Mazhai releasing today, he is on a one day token hunger strike in Film Chamber of Commerce, to spread the awareness of video piracy. Great going dude!!. When some one does so much for piracy, its our responsibility to watch the movie in theatres.

    Kudaikul Mazhai – My guess was right ?

    I know it is a real plug to blow my own trumpet but this one needs a reminder for sure. Remember my guess on Parthiban’s Kudaikul Mazhai.

    This was what I guessed – Something stuck me about Parthiban’s consistent efforts to be different. So when he refuses to introduce other characters, what could be the difference. My sixth sense says there is no one in the movie except for him and the heroine. He is capable of having a movie with just two characters. Now, this isn’t from any kollywood gossip that I got to hear. It is just my guess. So if this becomes true, I believe it might, Partiban should design a platinum ring for my index finger.

    Looks like I’m right from what’s been said here in The Hindu on the eve of the release of Kudaikul Mazhai. The bit news says – Parthipan has shot the whole film inside an old bungalow with virtually two characters. He has tried to capture the working of the mind of a man wrecked by anxieties and paranoia.

    There you go lazy!!. Since my guess was without any hints or some 007 schedules, I plan to ask Mr.Parthiban, Where is my ring?.

    Kokkarakko Gummaango – Dedicating to the God

    Yesterday, when I was watching one of those dedicate-a-song program in one of the umpteen satellite channels, someone called up and dedicated a song to the god. THE GOD. The caller left the choice to the channel. Thanks to the taste of our folks at the channel stations. They played Kokkarakko Gummaango, a kolla kuthu ghaana song from the movie Machi. Just curious to know if the LORD liked it.
