Hi,
After my posts of the last two movies, this morning; its time to blog about the movie I watched today. It's Surya's Maatran. First Surya movie, in telugu, in theatre.
Went to the movie with my cousin. The movie is yet another attempt by Surya to show a difference in the characters chosen. K.V. Anand comes with a different concept after Ayan with Surya.
Maatran / Brothers:
The movie deals with the conjoint twins Surya being born to a Genetic Scientist. The conjoint twins grow up together, without being separated. One is more the studious and geek kinds. The other is more a brash. The dances and fights being picturised together, are something to watch out for. Kajol Agarwal is a translator by profession, who likes the geeky Surya.
Surya's father in the movie runs a Enery Drink company called Energion. The plot is about a journalist investigating about Energion company. Mysterious deaths happen. Finally the journalist dies too, who had come from Ukrain. This reveals a few truths about the company to one of the conjoint twins, when the other is drunk.
In an attempt to rob away the pen drive, containing information about Energion; one of the conjoint twin faces a brain hammerage. The heart is transplanted from the geeky Vimal ( Surya ) to Akhil ( Surya ).
Akhil realises that his father has an involvement and that has led to Vimal's death. A series of quests happen in a country in Russia. The end is about what has happened with Energion and what is the twist played by Surya's father in Energion.
Positives:
1. Surya as Conjoint twins.
2. Another medical saga.
3. A good story and nice camera work.
Negatives:
The second half could have been cut short/ trimmed to make the movie, a little more crisp.
Rating: 3.5/5

English Vinglish: A Sridevi movie for the New Generation
Hi,
The movie plan was made on a Sunday morning. With my buddies Swathi, Shruthi and Vivek. The show at Urvashi at 2.30. Made it to the theatre and with Swathi getting her car for a Sunday Drive.
English Vinglish....
The title itself said it was going to be a simple movie, with not too much of non-sense.The movie lives up to that.
The movie starts with Sridevi in a household and two kids. The younger child, Sagar is a treat to watch. A very cute act, through out the movie. Sridevi struggles with English and is snubbed by her daughter quite a few times for not being good at it. A few scenes like, mother not being welcomed by the child to school for the parent-teacher's meet as she cannot communicate that well are very well acted out.
Amidst all this, Sridevi is also a small time business lady with making laddoos. This makes a sketch of her as trying to be independent and one who wants to do something. The story moves to the next episode where Sri is asked to come to USA to help her elder sister's daughter's wedding.
A series of nice scenes with the embassy and in the flight with Mr. Amitabh coming in for a special appearance.
Sri reaches America to a series of events that makes her feel bad about. A lady at a coffee shop is not cordial, as her English is not up to mark and an inability to communicate. This leads Sri to enroll into an English class. The rest of the story is about Sri making her efforts to learn English and a set of English learning students, from various parts of the world.
The conscious of an Indian woman to her family and her responsibility is etched well.
Postives:
1. Srideviji s acting. For our generation, who have not watched many of her movies in theaters.
2. Simple Story and subtle message.
3. Character etching.
Negatives:
Cannot think of anything for now.
Summary:
A simple message asking for an ever adorable Indian woman to become more self reliant and take up challenges,which she has always been capable of. I want to take my mother and sister to this movie, who have handled lives very well and have stayed at home, due to the society set up in India.
Rating: 4/5

Rebel: A Raghava Lawrence Repeat Telecast
Hi Friends,
Yet anotther telugu movie, for a saturday timepass. Had been to the movie with my brother-in-law. Not many expectations though, from the film. Went to the movie to watch Prabhas' Action and better dances, due to Lawrence's presence.
The movie starts with the power full hero getting hit and also some brahmanandam comedy. The movie gives you hints of relations to past. The movie moves abroad, where Prabhas tries to woo Tamanah. A regular brainless girl character for Tamanah again. Romantic scenes do not appeal. This is second next to only her role in a Vijay movie Sura. The movie moves back to India.
Prabhas' past is being detailed with another girl in his life then. A routine telugu movie story. Krishnam Raju, Prabhas' real life uncle plays his father. A rather powerful father and a god father figure for the place. Rest of the movie, is as expected a story of revenge.
Old Wine in New Bottle.
Positives:
1. Prabhas' well built body and a few over rated action. ( If you like it)
2. Tamanah's glamour.
Negatives:
1. Raghava Lawrence's attempt at music. Better left to others.
2. Same old story.
Rating: 1.5
