Anjali Chithi troubling chennai police

Parvathidevi was claimed to have harassed Anjali – her sister’s daughter – making Anjali to escape from Parvathi and settling in Hyderabad.
Parvathi knows well about the same but have filed a habeas corpus petition in Chennai High Court seeking the police to bring Anjali in front of her in the court. High Court too has accepted the petition and has ordered the Chennai police to make Anjali to appear in the court on 9th of this month.
The funniest this here is that Anjali is said to be now again with her chiththie Parvathi and several reporters have found both of them together.

Chennai Police are upset as these two are not appearing in the court but legally troubling them in making the both to appear in the court.

Bindhu Madhavi to show more Glamour

The news of Anjali, a native of Andhra getting settled in Hyderabad and doing a handful of movies and also showcasing a lot of skin has said to have made Bindu Madhavi, again a native of Andhra to think about it.

Bindu Madhavi has done only decent characters in Kollywood and had never given a chance for glamour. Even her latest Desingu Raja is also a family type.

She has very few movies here in Kollywood and as Telugu industry demand more skin show, she has declared that she is ready for any kind of glamour.

Her feeling is that, being a native of Andhra, why she should not make happy her own state’s men.

Arya and Jai Avoding to pair with Anjali

Actress Anjali is currently one of the most wanted Heroines of Tollywood, However Kollywood heroes are quite happy to keep distance from her. The reason being Anjali’s knack of getting into controversies. She has quite far been one of the most controversial heroine of recent times, even in the recent Missing episode various Co-stars were questioned on Anjali’s whereabouts. Actor Jai was so frustrated with the numerous phone calls he received during those times that he along with Arya have decided to never pair up with Anjali again.

Anjali to be arrested ?

Following a defamation case filed by director Kalanjiyam, Anjali has been issued summons to appear before the magistrate for a hearing. The actress has been issued summons to appear before the court on June 5th failing which an arrest warrant may be issued.

It may be mentioned here that Anjali had alleged that her aunt and director Kalanjiyam are torturing her and have usurped all the money and properties brought out of her earnings. She also alleged that Kalanjiyam threatened to murder her. Director Kalanjiyam has denied all these allegations and had filed a defamation suit against the actress for making misleading statements against him.

Kalanjiyam was earlier planning to approach the various bodies in Kollywood requesting them to take action against actress Anjali who failed to turn up for his film shoot, before filing the case. The actress was supposed to shoot for the film Oor Suttri Puranam on April 24.

Settai Movie Review

Cast : Arya , Hansika , Anjali , Santhanam

Director : Kannan

Music : SS Thaman

Producer : U TV Motion Pictures

From the little I have seen and heard about Delhi Belly, I understand that the general reception had been divisive. Remaking such a film may not have been the brightest of idea, especially when you planning to omit the part that actually made it good in the first place. R. Kannan’s previous attempt at remaking a popular Hindi film hardly went well. Say what you will about Jab We Met, but you cannot deny the fact that Kanden Kadhalai was devoid of any charm the former film had. When you remake a film and don’t create a better product, you have failed as a director. But ending up with something that is, inarguably, very inferior to the original, you have failed miserably. So, yes. Settai is a very mediocre outcome from a clearly promising material. Am I surprised? No.

Excuse the pun, but Settai is not just a watered-down version of Delhi Belly, it is a version that never really understood why the original film worked. Besides the effortless and judicious use of cuss words, the original was very open when it came to discussing sex. Settai only offers us a few lazy winks and witless double entendres, coming across as cheap and gutless. If you want to make an adult joke, for chrissake, go ahead and do it. Cut the conservative crap; Tamil audience has had enough of all this babying nonsense. Are you really expecting us to laugh at words rhyming with Sottai, Maadu and Thanni while leaving the rest to our imagination? I mean, come on! We’re in 2013.

Under the pretext of “making it suitable for Tamil audience”, Settai lost all of Delhi Belly’s crackling humor and gained a whole lot of needless songs, which pop up at the wrongest of places. Settai lacks the thrill that makes Crime Caper films work. Thanks to the bevy of duets, the pace is badly hit. The central story keeps you mildly invested, as you sit there waiting, hoping the at least next one-liner from Santhanam would be funny. Excuse me for my poor choice of words, but when done tastefully, toilet humor can be very amusing. Here, after a point, the entire “upset stomach” subplot becomes repetitive. It does nothing to change or even tangentially affect the course of the actual story.

Firstly, setting the film in Mumbai makes not a speck of sense. There could be many reasons for making such a big creative decision; the main reason being the story appearing too alien for the milieu. A film like Thuppaki wouldn’t have worked had it been set in Chennai because of the scale it demanded. But in a pair of capable hands, Settai could have been wonderfully adapted to Tamil. The real reason why Settai takes place in Mumbai is because the a section of the creative team behind this film is so inept that they couldn’t even be bothered to re-imagine the film. Almost all the locations are exactly the same. The film certainly looks visually appealing but anyone could have directed it.

The narrative sequence towards the end is a total mess and the film comes to a jarring halt. It is clear to me that a good story is hidden inside Settai; it’s just that the treatment does no justice to it. The actors don’t do much to elevate the film. Santhanam’s performance is indifferentiable from his previous works. Premji was surprisingly restrained- thank God for that. The others look just pretty as required. Anjali was really convincing though. She’s the only person who looks and acts according to the demands of her roles.

Verdict – A very unimaginative remake which is passably funny

Vathikuchi Movie Review

Starring : Dhileeban, Anjali, Vatsan, Jegan, Sampath, Jeyaprakash, Saranya Ponvannan

Direction : Kinslin

Music : M Ghibran

Production : AR Murugadoss,Fox star studios

AR Murugadoss and Fox International has given us “Engeyum Eppothum” which garnered critical and commercial acclaim. Now the combo is back with Vatthikuchi which is directed by Kinslin who was a former associate of AR Murugadoss.

Vatthikuchi is a story about a share auto driver and his struggle when he is hovered by unusual circumstances. Shakthi (Dileban) an honest driver lives his life peacefully but his honest and helping tendency leads him to be a enemy to three different gangs. The rest of the story tells us how Dileban wins all the three gangs with brawn and brain.

Dileban is good in stunt performance but he have to improve his expressions and dialogue delivery. Anjali plays the bubbly character and as usual she did the role with an ease. Among the number of actors only Sampath and Jegan did a good job. Other actors like Jayprakash,Ravimariya ,Vatsan did a okay performance.

Vatthikuchi’s biggest strength is Kinslin’s screenplay, RB Gurudev’s cinematography and Rajasekar’s stunt choreography. Dileban’s point of narration and his mind voice is okay at start but after a point of time it is repetitive. Ghibran’s background score is good and so as the songs, especially the Vatthikuchi theme adds the sparkling feel to the stunt scenes.

So many scenes in the first half is promising like the one where Dileban takes on Sampath and also the love portions between Dileban and Anjali. The way Jegan gang capture Dileban is dashing.

Though the film looks interesting some scenes are silly like the one where Dileban takes rest and eat food before the climax. The film also has many logical loopholes. Anjali’s comic portion in first half falls flat.

Overall the film is a decent attempt and it is a huge platform for Dileban as an action hero.

Verdict : Vatthikuch has its sparkling moments
