Bold and beautiful Mallika Sherawat says most of her films are for adults and so she turned to television as it would help her connect with those below 18. She also feels strongly about providing a platform to talent from small towns.Mallika is scorching the small screen as a judge on dance reality show Chak Dhoom Dhoom.TV has a huge reach and my films as it is are only for people above the age of 18. So I thought its a great opportunity. Whos going to wait for them to turn 18 and then watch my films? Mallika told IANS in an interview here.And also why not try something different. Ive always tried different things in my career. If everyones gone left, Ive gone right. Ive made very unusual choices and some worked, some didnt. But Ive not followed a prescribed path. And similarly this time too, said Mallika, who is a huge fan of Madhuri Dixit.The show, which showcases dance groups from all over the world, went on air on Colors channel Friday.My lifes struggle has been the same since I had no film background and Bollywoods system is very dynastic people just want to promote their own people. So it was very important for me that people from small towns get a platform to showcase their talent. I felt an emotional connect with the show, said the actress.I feel I owe it to people from small towns because once upon a time I was one of them. Of course, Im being paid very handsomely for this show, but that was not the deciding factor, added the actor who herself hails from Rohtak, a small town in Haryana.She also says she will be a little biased towards women contestants. Ill be a little biased towards females. Im being honest enough to say that.The actress, known for her sensual roles in films like Khwahish, Murder and the recently released Hisss, is judging the show along with actor-comedian Jaaved Jaaferi and ace choreographer Terence Lewis, known for his contemporary dance moves.I wont judge the techn! ical asp ects of dance. For me, the entertainment factor and the X factor will work. The attitude, the expressions are what Ill be concentrating on.I had a lot of disagreements with Jaaved and Terrence because they go so deep in their judging. Both of them are brilliant dancers, but I dont go into so many technicalities and sometimes I even fight for the teams and argue that they should be given a chance, she added.Asked why she decided to take a plunge into television, the actress said: For me, the most important thing for saying yes to this show was the format. These people go to small towns and audition and bring out talents from there.On the film front, Mallika will be next seen in Double Dhamaal, the sequel to 2007 film Dhamaal.

Siruthai Tamil Movie Review
The film revolves around chiselers Rocket Raja (Karthi) and Kaattu Poochi (Santhanam) leading a happy life through conniving acts. When they head for a marriage function in ECR to loot money and gold articles, he comes across a beautiful girl Swetha (Thamannah), who falls in love with him instantly. She even manages to gain her parents support for their marriage. But hell breaks loose out, when a girl child claims Rocket Raja as her father. Later Raja learns that she is none other than the daughter of Rathinavelu IPS (again played by Karthi), who possesses his identical looks.
Karthi seems to have undergone lot of homework during the pre-production phase. It is very much illustrious with his ability to emote well in both the roles. As a police officer, he has done a remarkable job as he emotes aggressively in all his portions. Watch out for his performance during the action sequences of intermission, he stands over the top. On pars, as a funny chiseler he does his best in ticking our funny bones.
The comedy portions involving Karthi and Santhanam during the first half is so engaging. Karthis style of dialogue deliveries as Rocket Raja is so trenchantly done. Watch him out while saying Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaya Kanna Rendavadhu Laddu Thinna Aasaya. The post-flashback sequence involving Rocket Raja as Rathinavelu in hilarious shades lets you enjoy to the core. Bomb blasting drama set up by Karthi ! and Sant hanam throws huge laugh-riots amongst the audiences. Thamannah is so annoying with her exaggerated performance. She doesnt suit the role as she looks so modern and flashy with her costumes. She tries imitating Anushka with her hip movements, which is so clumsy. Karthis facial expressions have to be slightly improvised.
Musical score by Vidhyasagar is so disappointing. Really wondering how Karthi could approve the songs that in no way entertain us. None of the songs are atleast the average level except the title song Naan Romba Nalla. The background score doesnt enhance the visuals in anyway. Cinematography by Velraj requires special mention as the camera angles are so innovative. Art direction by Rajeevan is extraordinary, his bridge work during climax portions is really breathtaking.
Siva could have trivialized few discontinuities and avoided few boring sequences that were present in original version.
On the whole, Siruthai can be watched for the sake of entertainment. Dont expect too much from the film and youre sure to enjoy the show.

Banner: Studio Green Films

Krishnaben wants to play Ranbir's mom
She is being loved by viewers for her portrayal of a strong, selfless and compassionate mother in Sony TV's series " Krishnaben Khakhrawala". And now, south Indian actress Indira Krishnan hopes to play Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor's screen mom.
"I see a lot of talent in young actors these days and I am very impressed with Ranbir Kapoor's work. He was very good in 'Raajneeti' and he just keeps getting better with every film. I am really waiting to play ma to Ranbir someday," said Indira during a casual chat on the sets of the show here.
"I started doing ma roles at a very young age, and I enjoy doing them. I never liked playing a negative mother, but I think it is very interesting to play a mom with grey shades," said the actress, a fan of Reema Lagoo's body of work as on screen mother.
Indira is being lauded for her positive role in "Krishnaben Khakhrawala" and so she hopes she plays "a good ma on the big screen".
She has become a household name ever since she started playing Krishnaben, a 45-year-old woman who runs a home business of khakhras, a Gujarati speciality. The character has become famous for its bubbliness, simplistic ways of handling day-to-day issues with 'Krishnagiri' and street smartness.
Dressed in a three quarter-sleeved blouse with a simple sari, her hair tied in a ponytail, neatly set on one side of the shoulder and a big red bindi, Indira was just out of a shoot in her trademark on screen look.
The moment you ask her about the red bindi, she retorts: "I know I am playing a widow in the show, and my character Krishnaben wears it for her children's sake. But even generally, what's the harm? God forbid, it happens with your mother; would you like to see her in a white sari all the time? It can make people psychic!"
"Besides, there is a sea change in the portrayal of mothers on screen nowadays. Gone are the days when a widowed mother used to sit in a corner wea! ring a w hite sari and just crying all the time. Mothers are strong and ambitious these days and know how to prove themselves even if they have no man in their life," said Indira, a mother to a three-year-old boy in real life.
Though she is only in her 30s, playing a 45-year-old mother on TV is not quite the challenge for Indira, who earlier played mother in shows like "Ek Ladki Anjaani Si", "Ayushman" and "Rehna Hai Teri Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein".
"I started doing ma roles at a very young age, and I enjoy doing them. So, the biggest challenge in this role was not the character's emotions, strength and the fact that I had to play a mother. The challenge was that I am a south Indian, and I had to play a typical, middle-class Gujarati woman. Getting the Gujarati accent right was the biggest chunauti for me in this show," she said.
Indira is extremely happy with the response she has got with the show.
"I am amazed how this character has become an icon for many people. I get a lot of fan mail from people of all ages and I am surprised with the kind of problems they hope I can solve the way I solve them in my show. The basic underlying message of the show is how even the biggest of problems in life can be overcome with a smile on your face and determination in your heart, and I hope people imbibe from it."

My assets are unimpressive: Kelly Brook
Kelly Brook, who posed for Playboy magazine last year, doesn''t think her famous breasts are as impressive as people think.
The 31-year-old star, however, explained she is proud her assets are her own.
"Well, they''re mine so that''s nice. They''re not fake, but they hang a bit," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
"They''re not super-perky because they''re so big. That''s always a big disappointment, I think. Like when you take your top off and they go flop," she added.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana' is a tribute to the three generations of Deols dominating the masses that make Bollywood what it is today! The evergreen Dharmendra, muscular son Sunny and cute boy Bobby represent three generations in Hindi cinema. The trio does deserve respect for their dedication to cinema, even if this flick does not measure up to the critics' yardsticks. 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' is hilarious, entertaining and a good journey down memory lane for the masses that might be Deol fans and families going to see it together.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana' is hilarious, entertaining and a good journey down memory lane for the masses that might be Deol fans and families going to see it together. The name 'Yagla Pagla Deewana' is borrowed from a song in a Dharmendra hit, 'Pratigygya,' in 1975. And, the movie marks half a century since 1960 when Dharmendra first appeared on screen. Director Samir Karnik creates a canvas that allows each of the three Deols to play up one's image and make fun of it. So Dharmendra is the lovable, flirtatious, often drunk conman father. Bobby is his younger son playing the romantic lover boy. And Sunny is the older, upright NRI son, who makes mince meat out of men.
Click for larger viewA popular Indian film critic says the director and actors in the film seem to try to make up for not appearing onscreen for much of last year. It is a loooong film! The film is so scripted to give each Deol generation a chance to be a comic, toughie, sing and dance and be melodramatically emotional. Jasvinder Singh Bath writes a screenplay that might be tilted in favor of today's star Bobby. One wonders why through Bobby lacks expression then in the flick. If you are in for Deol-ment, 'Yagla Pagla Deewana' promises to regal! e you. B ut, it lacks luster in terms of being either an out-and-out comedy or a powerful drama or even an action packed thriller. It might deliver rollicking fun for the average Indian cine-goer or if you were watching this flick over cocktails and kitty party.

But, in the spirit of masala films, one finds some relief (for those who might enjoy) in comedy and explosive Punjabi-ness. To this end, one must admit that thespian Dharmendra at his age steals the show with his Jat 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' act. This part includes the chartbusting item song, Tinku Jiya. Several critics do whisper to each other that the romantic scenes are a bore and the music, barring the title track and 'Charha De Rang', jarring. Stunts and action seem not the focus and even the climax fight is very, very formulaic. The second half saves the show.

The producer is performing a havan at Balaji House, because three nasty incidents during the making of Ragini MMS have shaken her up.
Balaji's head honcho Ekta Kapoor continues to be one superstitious woman. Today evening, she is organising a havan at Balaji House (Andheri West). Reason: Ekta wants off to ward off the evil eye before her next film Ragini MMS hits the theatres on March 11.
A source close to Ekta told Mumbai Mirror, "Ragini MMS was plagued by three bad incidents, which shocked the cast and crew of the film no end."
Explaining the three incidents, our source said, "First, the watchman of the house where the film was shot in Dahanu hanged himself a few days before the shoot began.
Then Rajkumar Yadav (lead actor of the film) got terribly hurt while shooting. After that, Yadav had a serious car accident."
When contacted, Ekta confirmed, "We are just doing a clean-up act. We completed shooting Ragini MMS in just three weeks' time, but met with three horrifying incidents. Isliye maine socha ki ek havan karvate hain."

Ragini prays for one more Jhalak
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is in its sixth week and the competition has surely become stiff. Every week's episode starts with the announcement of eliminations and participants keep their fingers crossed and pray they don't figure on the list.
The most nervous participants of this week include Ragini Khanna and Anita Lokhande. Sources from sets reveal that Ragini Khanna was engrossed in prayers just before the shoot of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa began. The reason was the elimination that was to be announced on the first episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Ragini was seen constantly prayingto God and sources say her words were " Ek baar Jhalak aur dikhla du bhagwan bus Ek Baar '.
On the other hand Ankita Lokhandewas also seen telling Remo D'Souza before the shoot began that she is pretty sure that she will be eliminated today. But will they be voted out or is someone else on the list?

Ranbir-Katrina's romance stories keep surfacing now and again in the news. We have no clue where they are headed on and off in the wake of constant denial mode. But what we know now is that Katrina Kaif recently spent time with Ranbir Kapoor in the capital where she had arrived for the promotion of her film 'Tees Mar Khan', and Ranbir was shooting for Imtiaz Ali's 'Rockstar'. A source says that Ranbir has been shooting with Imitaz for 'Rockstar' in Delhi for almost a month and Katrina wasn't able to travel and meet him because of her prior commitments coupled with the promotion of 'Tees Maar Khan', but when she got an opportunity, she rushed through the events and met Ranbir at his sister Riddhima's house.

The source also said that a few days before their secret meeting, the two had had an argument over his growing proximity with his 'Rockstar' co-star Nargis Fakhri. And that Ranbir was a bit put off with Katrina's growing insecurity and her clinging nature. So much so that he stopped answering her calls and replying to her text letters. But all differences vanished when they caught up in Delhi and sorted out their issues.
SRK runs down Zeenat Aman
There are talks that SRK's remarks at a recent award show didn't go down too well with Ashah Parekh, Zeenat Aman.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan hosted the Screen Awards this year, and there are rumours that his remarks on yesteryear actresses Asha Parekh and Zeenat Aman didn't go down too well with them. Apparently, SRK, it is heard, made some derogatory remarks about the actresses' anatomy.
However, both actresses confirmed that they in fact loved Shah Rukh Khan and didn't feel offended in any way. They said that they were informed about what Shah Rukh was to say before the event and gave their consent for the same.
Asha and Zeenat also maintained that Shah Rukh didn't mean or say anything derogartory. Everything was done in good humour and that one needs to learn to laugh at oneself too, sometimes.
So all's well that ends well. And Shah Rukh remains a great guy in the eyes of these two lovely ladies.

Asha and Zeenat also maintained that Shah Rukh didn't mean or say anything derogartory. Everything was done in good humour and that one needs to learn to laugh at oneself too, sometimes.
So all's well that ends well. And Shah Rukh remains a great guy in the eyes of these two lovely ladies.

Madonna wants to expand Malawi charity
London, (ANI): Queen of pop Madonna has revealed that she wants to expand her Malawi girls' school. The pop star opened the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls in 2010 but reveals she's already in the process of "implementing several changes" to improve it.
"My original vision is now on a much bigger scale. I want to reach thousands not hundreds of girls. I want to do more and I want to do it better," the Daily Express Madonna as saying in a statement. "I remain deeply committed and am more passionate than ever about helping the children of Malawi-especially the girls. In a country where only 33 per cent of Malawian girls attend secondary school, I realise that the plans we had in place for the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls simply would not serve enough children," she said.
The singer has revealed her plans to build even more schools, and vows to continue with her involvement. She added: "This is a larger challenge than I thought, but I welcome it. We are focused on an approach, which builds schools within communities across the country.
"We are currently determining the size, location, staffing and curriculum of the schools. I will continue to monitor the process of reaching these goals here and through my ongoing visits to Malawi."

Farah Khan ousts Salman for Shah Rukh?
With Farah having made up with Shah Rukh, will she choose him over Salman Khan for her next?
Farah Khan is on a making up spree. Her war with Shah Rukh Khan was well-known, and only recently, she is known to have gone into his van, and sorted out their differences. Very recently, Farah also made up with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Now the problem is that Farah Khan gets on well with so many people after burying the hatchet, that one wonders whom she is going to cast for her next film.
Farah who had worked with Shah Rukh Khan only, till the fall out happened, gets along well with her 'Tees Maar Khan' actor Akshay Kumar famously. Whilst she was at loggerheads with Shah Rukh, she found a new and true friend in Salman Khan.
In fact, when the critics were harsh on her in their reviews of 'Tees Maar Khan', word got to Salman that Farah was feeling low. He is known to have called her up and asked her not to worry. He apparently even told her that she could go ahead and write a script and that he would do her film even if the rest of the world rejected it.
Farah, however, has gone on the backfoot now and says that she needs no 'helping out'. She confirms that 'Tees Maar Khan' is a hit and that she has already started writing her next script with much confidence. With her having patched up with Shah Rukh, there are great chances that the Badhshah Khan will star in her next, even though Farah maintains that casting for the film is a thing of the distant future.
Only time will tell which of the superstars is closest to Farah's heart. And the diplomatic 'all of them are' will be the most boring answer.

Rujuta, who couldn't travel with Bebo to Vegas, was in touch with her throughout on BlackBerry Messenger finding out if she is eating the right things at the right time.

Eva Longoria sued by Las Vegas nightclub partner
London, (ANI): Actress Eva Longoria Parker has been sued for at least 4 million dollars by her former Las Vegas nightclub partner.
Mali Nachum, a former partner in the financially troubled Beso club, filed the suit on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claiming that Longoria violated California usury laws, reports the Telegraph.
The Desperate Housewives star lent Nachum 1 million dollars for the venture in 2009 and was promised repayment at 8 per cent annual interest and a large stake in the club. But according to the suit, Nachum discovered in December that the terms violated California usury laws. He estimates damages of at least 4 million dollars and is seeking three times that figure.
A statement from Longoria's publicist calls the suit meritless and blames her former partners for forcing the nightclub into bankruptcy protection last week.

Apsara Awards: Salman wins Best Actor
Bollywood star Salman Khan Tuesday triumphed at the 6th edition of the Chevrolet Apsara Film & Television Producers Guild Awards by bagging the best actor prize for hit comedy " Dabangg", which was declared the best film.
"Dabangg", released last year, was Arbaaz Khan's first film as a producer and became the biggest grosser of the year at the box office. Directed by first time director Abhinav Kashyap, the film also introduced Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha. It gave 2009's best item number "Munni Badnam" too.
Karan Johar got the best director award for "My Name Is Khan". Set in a tumultuous post 9/11 America, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan as a Aspergers syndrome patient who sets out on a journey to prove that every Khan is not a terrorist.
In the best actress category there was a tie between Vidya Balan and Anushka Sharma - while the former was awarded for her stupendous performance in critically acclaimed "Ishqiya", the latter was honoured for her role in the successful film "Band Baaja Baraat"

I dont feel married: Imran
Bollywood's chocolate boy Imran Khan finally bid adieu to bachelorhood and married long time girlfriend Avantika Malik here Monday. He said he is very happy.
The couple is off to Thailand Tuesday for their honeymoon but not alone - 50 guests will be accompanying the newly-weds.
Imran, who had been dating Avantika for the past eight years, had a registered marriage at his superstar uncle Aamir Khan's house in Pali Hill.
After the wedding, Imran came to his house with his newlywed wife in a black Porsche decorated with white flags with "Just Married" written on them. The house was decorated with flowers and lights
Both wore beautiful traditional wedding costumes - Avantika was wearing a light grey lehenga choli with a red border and gold work and Imran was dressed in a black bandhgala.
"I'm not feeling married right now, it will take some time to sink in. I'm very happy" Imran told reporters after reaching home.
Asked how he felt after breaking the hearts of his female fans, the 27-year-old said: "I've been in a relationship for the past eight years so the point of breaking hearts doesn't arise. Everyone always knew that I'm dating and was never single, so getting married is nothing new."
Imran's maternal uncle, Aamir was dressed in black sherwani with self-print and a maroon churidar and his wife Kiran Rao went traditional too, donning a purple-gold lehenga choli.
"We are very happy for both of them and all our blessing are with them. I hope they have a happy married life and have lots of kids," said a visibly elated Aamir.
The actor will be hosting a grand reception once the couple returns from their honeymoon. The date has not been fixed, but it is scheduled for the end of this month.
After the wedding, the couple hosted a quiet dinner for close family and friends at Taj Lands End Hotel.

Tammy in verge of loosing
Both Amala Paul and Hansika are ready to remove even before getting a command from the director or producer or hero of the movie, are pulling the crowd towards them.
Many of the movies in which Tamannah was discussed is now with Amala, putting Tamannah in worried place.
She is now busy discussing with her managers on how to tackle the competition from these full signing spree girls!
Raktha Charitiram: A misunderstood and underappreciated classic
One of the most famous examples of such movies is Orson Wells’ ‘Citizen Kane’, which he wrote and directed early 20th century. When it was released, it was widely derided. Today, it is always cited as one of the best American films and the American Film Institute declared it the best American film of the 20th century.
Tamil cinema too has its share of such films. One of the earliest examples that come to my mind is ‘Anthanaal’ released early 1950s soon after ‘Parasakthi’. It showcases one of Sivaji Ganesan’s best performances ever. I would go so far as to say it surpasses his performance in the much loved ‘Parasakthi’. If one sees the two films side by side today, Sivaji’s acting in ‘Parasakthi’ looks theatrical but his performance in ‘Anthanaal’ looks very modern. I would go out in a limb and say his performance here is the first example of realism in terms of acting in Tamil movies. Tamil movie would not see such performances (in natural dialogue as spoken by the people in real life and not as though in a stage which veers to classical Tamil) until more than a decade later. Among serious connoisseurs of Tamil films, ‘Anthanaal’ is considered a gem and one of the classics of Tamil cinema.
The same can be said of Mani Ratnam’s ‘Iruvar’. It was a critical and a box-office disaster when it came out. Today it is recognised as one of his finest works and one of the best examples of a bio-pic in the Indian film history.
The list of underappreciated Tamil movies goes on. Add to this list ‘Raktha Charitiram’ (RC) which elsewhere was released as ‘Raktha Charitra 2’ but in Tamil was released as one movie RC. I did not see RC1 (but I certainly will after having seen RC).
First of all RC works as a complete movie by itself. Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) did a great job in condensing RC1 into the first 20 minutes of RC. Surya who plays the character of Surya Reddy makes his appearance after 20 minutes – something unheard of in Tamil movies for a hero. But my goodness! What an unforgettable appearance he makes!
I always thought that only Gautam Vasudev Menon could photograph Surya beautifully. Now, he has tough competition from RGV. RGV has captured the emotions of Surya’s eyes and his physique magnificently. The unusual camera angles for this movie are another plus point. They are also another reason why this movie merits a repeat watching. Watch out for the camera angles in the court scene and in the prison fight scene. The latter is one of the most stunningly choreographed fight scenes ever — all done in slow motion with each sinew of Surya’s muscles lovingly captured by the camera. After watching this scene one immediately thinks of Shakespeare’s line, “What a piece of work is man…in form and moving how express and admirable…”
Then, there are the infamous 360 ͦ camera angles that seem to irritate some. In the first instance it is used in the movie – right after the assassination attempt on Prathap Ravi (Vivek Oberoi) – it works quite well. It seems to symbolise the world in Anantapur (and in Prathap’s and Surya’s life) turning upside down after that attempt. Subsequent attempts work less well. The extreme close ups are effective in that it showcases the actors’ ability to signify the smallest emotions just their facial expressions.
The screenplay was tightly written. There were no unnecessary scenes: each scene progressed the story further. The director manages to hold our attention by focusing on characters and the plot. One does not have to be well versed in Andhra politics to appreciate it as it works well on its own (having read in the internet on real life blood feud between the two characters on whom the story is based. I would say RGV has done a great job in marrying fact and fiction to present a story as he sees it). All the peripheral characters have played their part well. Even if their screen time is only 15 minutes, they came and leave an indelible mark. Sudeep, the famous Kannada actor plays a suave police officer DCP Mohan Prasad (suave police officers are a rare breed in Tamil movies. Most of the police officers even the cool but awkward-with-women Anbuselvam of Khakaa Khakaa are all mean killing machines). You wish you could have seen more of him but he comes, he acts and he delivers. The same for the two female protagonists – Nandini (Radhika Apte), Prathap’s wife and Bhawani (Priyamani), Surya’s wife. Although, given limited screen time due to the nature of the story (the story is about two men after all) they perform admirably: Radhika with a mixture of vulnerability, devotion and toughness; Priyamani with her rage and absolute belief in her husband’s cause. These two women created more impact with their brief screen appearance that the average Tamil film heroine who appears for 5 songs and numerous irritating scenes.
The pulsating background score is another major plus. It gives the movie an almost Tarantinoish feel to it. Rarely has background score and slow motion come together so effectively in a movie. Since there are no duets every 10 minutes and only background songs that leads the story forward, it gives hope that Tamil movies can break away from the song and dance routine.
Much has been made of the violence in the movie and how it is not suitable for family audience. Of course, this is not a movie to bring kids and its ratings clearly says so. I can understand if the Hindi audience were squeamish about violence since their movies are usually urban and foreign based laced liberally with sex, comedy and glamour. But for Tamil audience, violence in movies is like mother’s milk. One just has to see the trailer of ‘Siruthai’ to see how much violence in movies that we take for granted. Sure there is violence in RC but in the end it is not as gruesome as some make it out to be.
One cannot talk of this movie without talking about the stellar performances of Vivek Oberoi and Surya. In RC the Tamil version, Vivek stands toe-to-toe with Surya. I have not seen him in RGV’s ‘Company’ but saw him in ‘Yuva’ (Siddharth was better in the Tamil version) and the sleep-inducing ‘Prince’. But who would have guessed he has such fire and intensity in him? The present generation of Hindi actors except for a few (Amir Khan, Ajay Devgan to name a few) can’t seem to convey the feeling of anger and hatred. Looking at some of these pretty faces one wonders whether they can get violent at a lemon. After languishing in mediocre roles, Vivek finally finds one where he can sink his teeth into and he does a magnificent job.
As for Surya, those of us who thought he outdid himself in ‘Vaaranam Ayiram’ and would not find a more challenging role, RC is proof that he gets better with every challenging role given to him. He certainly is one of the most talented actors working in Indian movies today. Surya is one of those rare actors in Tamil movies who lets his eyes do the talking. And RGV has certainly done a splendid job in showcasing this. Rarely, has an actor’s eyes been used so effectively in a movie. The way his eyes change from anger to tenderness is remarkable. Some standout moments in the movie are: the first time he sees the DCP, he looks at him with anger. The moment he realises that the DCP is not as bad as he thought, his eyes soften towards the DCP; when he sees his family massacred, the agony and the horror in his eyes is felt by the audience — and the involuntary twitching in his left eye – seems instinctive rather than put on; when the opposition strikes a deal with him he smiles – with his eyes. How does Surya do it? If this does not get him the National Award, I don’t know what else will.
The scene at the climax when he accomplishes his mission is another masterpiece. There is an equal mixture of joy, rage, happiness and sadness at all that he lost and won to arrive at this moment. And in the scene in the jail where the DCP comes to pay him a visit, the way the camera spies on Surya as Surya slowly looks up at the DCP from under his lids – he comes across as menacing and evil. Perhaps, he has not realised what he has become, something which the DCP reminds Surya. It is one of the fine examples in Tamil films where dialogues get replaced by facial movements. By right Vivek and Surya ought to get some honours for their work here. But whether or not the film fraternity recognises their work remains to be seen.
In Tamil movies where characters are usually portrayed in black and white, it is a pleasure to see these two main characters shrouded in grey. In the end Prathap and Surya are tragic figures. Though ruthless to their enemies, they are also loving sons and husbands to their women. They were two ordinary men who would have been content to lead a simple life but forces beyond their control force them to go on a wrong path. As in most cases like these, once the wrong path is tread, there is no turning back for these two. Blood begets more blood. In that these two men have our sympathies and they do not come out looking totally bad or good. The movie ends with the now widowed Nandini looking at an interview of Surya on TV. The camera focuses on her baby boy she is holding. Would the blood feud follow into the next generation? (Interestingly, Surya Reddy also has a son). That’s the tantalising question posed by the director.
Is RGV glorifying violence and revenge? Of course not! He seems to warn that revenge is a path that is never ending with tragic results for all parties. And events differ when seen from different person’s perceptive.
Is RC for the masses? The few young men sitting behind me were yawning away, hoping perhaps for an item dance to spruce up their interest. If you can’t abide to watch a movie that does not explain how A gets to D without showing you the B and C parts, then avoid this movie. But if you are tired of watching the same old run of the mill where boy meets girl, along with some plot that involves songs and dances in foreign locale then RC is or you.
A last word on subtitles. This movie in Malaysia was shown with English subtitles. The subtitling was good 85% of the time. During crucial moments in the film it was missing. Perhaps the producers should have paid more attention to this.
Whatever the shortcomings of this film, RC will stand the test of time. I am sure in later years it will gain in appreciation. It would be a pity to miss it.
PS: A few days after I written this piece, Maddelacheruvu Suri, on whom Surya’s character was based was gunned down by his own trusted men. Suri had watched both RCs was stunned by Surya’s portrayal of himself and claimed that he was henceforth a fan of Surya. Although, he had a few criticisms in the way the facts were manipulated in the movie, he was more than pleased with the way he had been portrayed by Surya.
