The top five albums of Tamil Cinema for the year 2010 in my book would be
1. Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya
2. Nandhala
3. Paiyaa
4. Madrasapattinam
5. Engeyum Kaadhal
Engeyum kaadhal came at the end of the year and the only Harris sir album that got released this Year. The title track tops the charts which was fresh and had a great mix from the master. Dhimu Dhimu another song sung by Karthik became a charbuster once the tracks were released. Harris Sir who has become very choosy to sign projects is busy working on the soundtracks of Ezhaam Arivu and Ko. We can expect both the soundtracks to be released early 2011 along with another Prabhu deva film as well as K.V. Anand film other than Ko with Suriya.
G.V. Prakash has indeed had a great Year with five releases. His Ayirathil oruvan had around 10 songs including the remix and the club versions. The soundtrack was heavily plagarised from Mettalica and several other english rock albums. Songs like maalai neram, Thaai thindra Manne was a different experience even though it was plagiarized. His Madrasapattinam was another period film set in 1940's. Pookal Pookum stood out of the film because of the arrangements and the fantastic visuals shot by Nirav Shah. Madrasapattinam had a wonderful score to compliment the visuals and the songs. During the end of the year the soundtrack of the much hyped aadukalam was released. Aadulakam proved to be another version of veyyil with a wonderful mix of melody and rock. Ayyao and Yathe topped the charts! G V also was part of albums like Angadi theru and VA Quarter cutting. G.V had a rather successful year with his works. G.V has a interesting line up of films for 2011. Director Vijay's next film with Vikram, Selvaraghavan's next film with Dhanush and he has been signed by anurag kashyap for a 2 film deal in hindi cinema.
Yuvan has almost a dozen soundtracks to his credit this year. Starting from Paiyya in Jan till the Vaanam single that released the year end. Naan mahan alla had the wonderful Iragai Pole, Boss engira baskaran had Yaar intha pen dhaan and the Boss- title song. He was also part of the rural, rare low budget album Kungama Poovum Konji puraavum which had fresh tunes in the form of chinna siru. Paiyaa topped the charts for a long time till mid 2010 with wonderful simple and catchy tunes. The songs were superbly visualized by Mathi sir's cinematography which ensured the film had a success even though the plot wasnt good. Yuvan was also part of Goa, his brother Venkat prabhu's film and Ajith's Aegan. Come 2011 we have Vaanam, Mankatha, Thanga Meen, Vishnuvardhan's next film, Aadhi bagawan, Vettai and Avan Ivan to name a few. I am anxiously awaiting all these albums since the albums are from the best film makers of south india. Ameer, Bala, Ram subbu, Vishnuvardhan and Venkat prabhu.
Illayaraja Sir's Nandhala was exceptional. The soundtrack of the film helped the film achieve the cult status that has achieved. This is one of the best soundtracks that has come from Raja sir's label after quite 2-3 years. In 2011 we have Azhagar saami kudhirai by sussendran, Ameer's Kannabhiran to look forward to.
Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya was the kind of album which will be in you playist for years to come. Gautham Menon's visuals created breath taking visuals and released the audio at an event in BAFTA, United Kingdom. VTV turned out to be one of the best love story's of the year. A R rahman and Gautham worked together for the first time to create magic. Starting from Vinnai Thandi varuvaya sung by karthik till the Blues feel of Aaromale sung by alphonse. I feel this is the best soundtrack to come out from AR Rahman in the last two years till date. In the end of the year The bonus songs were released as an album called collectors edition which had the opening Humming of the film, Aaromale female version , the Aalap sung by shreya ghosal. The album also had regular ARR brand songs like Hosanna, Omana penne and Manipayya the love duet. ARR also had shankar's magnum opus Enthiran which had the techno feel. Kathal Anukkal and Arima Arima had the brand ARR. I would say Enthiran was a huge disappointment considering the expectations. Mani Ratnam's Raavan in my book was one of the difficult Albums and score that Rahaman has ever worked on. The film bombed at the box office but the album had sounds close to nature. Raavan would always be one of my favourite Rahman Albums. He has swept everyone with VTV and we can expect a lot of awards for that.
A few other interesting albums this year has been Imman's comeback film 'Mynaa'. Gv and Vijay anthony's Angadi theru, Kalavaani. Devi Sri Prasad gave good commercial tunes for Singam and Kamalahassan's Manmadan Ambu. Neela Vaanam sing by Kamal haasan was a little gem of a song from Devi Sri Prasad.

Away from chennai
Last weekend i packed my bags rather carefully to make sure i am not short of any stuff for my trip away from Chennai. I went for Palakkad/Coimbatore for two days. The whole idea behind this trip is to get away from Chennai and this boring monotonous daily chores.
I started my trip on 19/11/2010 a rather freakish Friday. Freakish because of two reasons, A. fact that i left my train tickets at the office and came home. I had to travel all the way to ascendas, the place where i work to get those printouts. B. I had an eye allergy that week which made me skip work for three days. I boarded the cheran express around 10:10 Pm on Friday. I Started reading 'The Kite runner' in the side upper birth allotted to me. A tall, Beautiful girl dressed in T shirts and Jeans was reading Paul Coehlo's alchemist in the Upper Birth opposite to me. Our eyes rolled over and met for a few moments. It was 07:00 AM the next morning one hour late than the scheduled arrival time, thinking it was Coimbatore Junction. I tried to get down to see Erode junction. The train was three Hours late.
Day 1 :- I got a single room in vignesh lodge, opposite to the railway station. I would rather consider it great cause its so close to the railway station and the room ended before it begins. I do not want to describe about the attached bathroom facilities in that room, Leaving it unsaid the better.
I called my girl , to get suggestions about the places near palakkad which I could visit. Surprisingly she text ed me a whole lot of places in an around Palakkad. She is Malayalee girl born and brought up at Chennai, but she had wonderful knowledge about Palghat. I started my train journey to Palakkad with a 9 Rupees ticket from CBE. It was a CBE-Palghat passenger that set the day rolling. Interesting it was 9 rupees, the ticket from chengalpet to Beach station in Chennai cost more than 9 rupees. I felt like southern railways is damn good. Southern railways in partnership with Irctc are doing good work.
In Palghat i first went to a bakery named Top Notch they specialize in Nendram(a variety of Banana fruit) chips. They have two flavours of the same chips namely thrissur and Palghat flavours. Both the flavours taste differently. I took an Auto for Kapilavasathu restaurant to have lunch. The hotel recommended by my girl. They served wonderful lunch, though i wanted to have kerala rice. I took a long walk to Vaatika gardens and Tippu sultan fort both of them in the same compound. The tippu sultan fort was built in the 17th century and one of the important archaeological sites under Indian archeology department. The entire fort looked like one fortress, the amount of skill, labour, man management required to build something of that greater magnitude without any technology. It had a those huge walls( both in length, width and height) built of granite stone with the green Algae in it. A form of canal water running around it. I also had a look at the Jail/prison used during those days. I walked along the place which might have been 4 Square Kms overall. During the end of the Wall i had two huge glasses of Tea, the special Kerala tea from a good looking girl who was working in the canteen of the fort. I also went to the Kalpathi bagawathy amman temple inside Palakkad surrounded by ponds from all sides. It was a beautiful place to visit.
Another recommendation was the Malampuzha dam located outside Palakkad. This recommendation came from a guy named mukesh who travelled with me in the train as well as my girl. The dam looked beautiful during the night in the lights. The best part is the bridge constructed out of wood from where we view the dam. I took the express train back to CBE from Palakkad.
More than all the fun and travelling, I was able to understand more about my girl. I didn't expect her to help me out this way. Whatever she recommended was correct and found out that she much more understanding and caring more than i thought. I found a sense of understanding and a deeper inner meaning in our relationship. I am not coming to this conclusion based on the above incident. It's also based on the past 4 months. In someways she out thinks me and she is rooted to her culture and morals. We even had a conversation about some issues, I was really amazed about a facet of her understanding what this relationship means to her and to me.
Day 2 :- I got a surprise call from my school buddy named Vasanth Kumar. Vasanth a mech engineer and an IIM Mba grad working in nerolac paints CBE. We met for lunch at Adyar Anandha bhavan. The first line he spoke was about him putting his papers(resignation) even without having a backup plan. The idea of putting your papers and then searching a new job is kind of quite common nowadays. We had a great time driving around amrita college located in ettimadai a village in the outskirts of cbe. It has a small railway station, where the passenger train stops propably twice a day. The station is actually located inside the college campus. To test our stamina we climbed a rather uneven hill. The top of the hill was a rather small sivan temple called Uttama Lingeshwarar temple. It was a quite a difficult one considering i havent climbed anything in the last three years. It was nice meeting vasanth after a long time. Finally the event for which i came to CBE unfolded, The wedding. It was for the wedding of Charlie Jeba, a colleague of mine working with me. Rushed through the wedding and left for the night train back to chennai. I was taken by the surprise about the rather good nature of the TTR who re-embassed the cost of the ticket of my friend who pulled out of the journey in the last moment.
More than the journey away from home and the feeling of going of alone to some unknown place. It was the experience. the whole idea behind understanding travelling, getting to know about different people, different cultures and mainly about myself. I rather must not forget those moments, thats why i wrote this blog.

Mynaa - Another Poignant tale of love
Last week i saw Mynaa, which is touted to be the best film that has been released this diwali. I went to a theatre which was located near my home for a fifty rupees ticket. After watching the film I would say the film was worth even 100 Bucks.
Tamil Cinema has been growing leaps and bounds over the past few years. Artistic excellence, brilliant screenplays and good storylines have emerged. Prabhu solomon the guy who directed King, Lee, Laadam and Kokki. All these films barring the Item numbers and C centric music has been movies that doesnt disaapoint you, not at all bad films. With Mynaa i would say he has raised himself into a different league. Prabhu solomon seems to be a director who works with actors and technicians who are new to the industry and extracts decent work. He worked with Vikram in King, another wonderful actor Karan in Kokki, Literally changed Sibi in Lee.
Prabhu Solomon does films in a kind of a framework , minimal budgets, low key cinematography, Lesser known actors and technicians. Cinematographer Sukumar who has worked with him in laadam has done a wonderful job of shooting the film with minimal lights mostly in natural light. Casting is one of the toughest decisions to be taken in Pre Production. Prabhu Solomon has done a commendable effort towards it. He has intelligently opened the film with a conversation which seems like it didnt connect with the story, but it surely did near the end.
I dont want to review this film and create spoilers. Actors have done a great job specially Viddarth and Amala Paul(The lead). Imman has rediscovered himself through this film. The songs are full of heart and soul. I couldnt hear the Background score in the film, it never dominated the visuals. Go watch this movie, in my book this is the best Tamil film of the year till date, standing next is Kalavani,Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya and Raavanan.
I would like to count the list of tamil films that have gory, brutal or negative endings in the last few years. I figure it all started with Balaji Sakthivel's Kaadhal and Bala's Sethu. Came Nandha, Kallori, Bala's pithamagan, Ameer's Paruthi Veeran and Raam, Vasantha Balan's Angadi theru and Veyyil. Bala's very own Naan Kadavul, Ram's Katradhu Tamizh, Kunguma Poovum Konji Puraavum. Gautham Menon's Kakkhaa Kakkha and Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya. Has it become a norm that ending a film on a sad not and making the audience speechless makes the film work or do wonders at the box office? . Ending a film in a certain way depends upon the idea or the message you want to convey to the audience. Have a great week at the movies. You have good movies running in cinema Halls near your place and also awaiting for release.

Invictus
Film appreciation is a term that seems to be very easy to understand.If you put it bluntly, it would be appreciating films. when i Google it i got a few different theories that seemed a little sensible and wierd too. We are here to talk, understand and promote good cinema. Lets get started by discussing a film which i very recently saw clint eastwood's Invictus.
Invictus is a film about president Nelson Mandela, during his tenure as the president of south africa after serving 30 years in Jail inspires the southafrican rugby team to win the rugby world cup. The president played by Morgan Freeman and Matt damon plays the rugby team captain. He was convicted for crime by his own fellow southafricans, the whites for thirty years.
Imagine the morale of the person serving 30 years of jail, where he lived inside a single cell(seen in the film), comes out gets elected as a president employs personal security officers, the white southafricans and inspiring the rugby team that is mostly comprised of white people. Matt damon sensibly plays the supporting role with conviction and pulls it off with aplomb.
In most of the good movies that you see we will remember some of the key sequences for some time. Invictus had a key sequence before the day of the final of the world cup when matt damon tells to his girl friend about the president's desire to lift his country after all the problems south africa has faced. That shot was there for about 30 seconds, but it was emotionally touching. The director Clint eastwood and screenplay writer Anthony Peckham has rather intelligently established another key sequence before in the film where Matt damon visits the Jail and Sir nelson mandela's small cell. Creating that sequence perfectly establishes the required emotional connect for the previous scene that we discussed.
During the finale cinematographer Tom Stern and director clint eastwood has used ultra slow motion cameras to film the world cup final.Interestingly most of the films where the 'finale' is a sports game has used slow motion sequences. Martin scorsese's 'raging Bull' , Guy ritchie's 'Snatch', Venkat Prabhu's 'chennai 28' , '300'.
The president has understood way before that inspiring a team to win world cup would make sure, the win would be a tool that will bring together whites and blacks. The idea has been brilliantly executed by the director by showing a young Black guy celebrating the victory with a group of white men. People cheering and chanting together while watching the match in the Bars or office television sets. When you see a film alone and if u stand up and clap during the start of the end credits
you know you have more than liked the film. I had the same feeling after watching the movie. Morgan freeman is the best person to play the president and also the executive producer of the film. He has lived the role and its the role of a lifetime. The
promotional poster of the film had Matt damon in the front and Morgan freeman looming large over him the background. This poster essentially says the perspective of americans about nelson mandela. For the film to sell, Matt damon ,the current heartthrob after the hugely successful 'bourne franchise', 'the departed' and the lesser known gem 'the informant' is the trump card.
Clint eastwood, 80, still makes movies and makes them as one of the best movies of the year. I dont think a filmmaker at this age would make movies for money, it must be hugely personal satisfaction. All these years he has amazed us by his movies across different genres. This one is also very special like the 'mystic river' , 'changeling' , and 'the unforgiven'.

notes of silence - A short film!
Notes of silence , the debut short from Mrinalini D.S is about a speech and a hearing impaired girl trying to learn guitar. The film touches chord in the way that it portrays disability in a more genuine and unsympathetic way. Always there are ways to do whatever you desire hope you have the passion to do it. The girl, with limitations somehow unassumingly convinces his brother/friend to make her learn guitar. The guy short tempered, 'pain in the Ass' kind of a person gets convinced to teach her in some way. This screenplay is interesting for two major reasons, one would be the wind chimes sequence. There used to be a shot in the middle of the film, where the girl touches the chimes and she was not able to hear the sound. (The sound design is blank). The last shot of the film would be an interpreatation of her hearing the sound. How beautifully those two shots convey the story. This is a metaphorical film. Second would be the simple narrative structure, its very uncommon now a days to have simple narratives. The finale doesnt have the usual excitement which we usually see, the cliches. This film offers a finale of 3-4 shots that just shows the resolution is achieved in a more beautiful way.
Technically this film is nothing short of wonderful. Special mention for sound design, cinematography and music. I somehow felt that this film wouldnt be connected with our Indian audience. There is one full montage sequence which could have worked better with a slight trimming in the final cut. Mrinalini you have given a good film , now you cant do trash here after! You have to give something better!' Life would be Beautiful , if there are Many sophie's - (The girl) in the film , even with their physical issues try to dream big and achieve what they dreamed' .
