I think it may be difficult to digest this news.... However the fact is true. Vaiko ( Leader of India's Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK)) has met Senator Obama presumptive nominee for the U.S. Presidency. Vaiko showed the draft copy of his book, which he is writing on Obama " Yes we can"....

The latest kollywood news seems to be more funny and the latest gossips are to be much spoken topic of the youth today. However I feel that these people are doing this simply for popularity and for their movie business. A better example is vishal who simply seems to exaggerate the issue which will definitely be a better promotion to his upcoming film sathyam. Watch out guys, dont simply waste your time in this silly gossips. the ultimate benefactor is only the hero and heroine who simply creates a mass popularity

Indian Beggar starts a Bank Account

Indian Beggar Starts a Bank Account….

Though India may be termed as one of the fastest developing countries and has become a Information Technology HUB, Poverty and beggars are still out there and cannot be eradicated. This is a sad story of a poor beggar in Calcutta who was attacked by polio. As a disabled child she started begging at the age of 16 and this continued for 40 years. Finally she has manage to save 91kg (200lb) which consists of coins that were minted from 1961 mostly which were out of date.

However the bank officials generously accepted her amount. When asked the bank manager said, “ Even though she is a beggar we should accept her confidence and the habit of saving which has lead her here. Our Bank is open to everyone, may be a beggar or billionaire.

Why any government does does not try out a solution to take all these beggars and give them a new life by providing with small jobs. Will the Government hear this?????

slow down in growth rate for IT and BPO says Nasscom

Nasscom says.......

There is a slow down in growth rate when compared to last year. However a sigh of relief is still felt as the annual growth rate which is aimed for year 2010 is steady and is sure to hit the target. The main reason cited for the slow down is the crisis that shook the US economy (sub prime mortgage crisis), steep oil prices, and drastic inflation across the global level.

Some steps that are expected to be taken by various IT companies are as follows. Cut down in production costs and infrastructure. Lessening the new recruiting process. Changes in salary packages provided. So IT guys watch out for the pits and loop holes…… in the upcoming period.

Different Movie sources and Types

Different Types of movie sources....


CAM -

A cam is a theater rip usually done with a digital video camera. A mini tripod is sometimes used, but a lot of the time this wont be possible, so the camera make shake. Also seating placement isn't always idle, and it might be filmed from an angle. If cropped properly, this is hard to tell unless there's text on the screen, but a lot of times these are left with triangular borders on the top and bottom of the screen. Sound is taken from the onboard microphone of the camera, and
especially in comedies, laughter can often be heard during the film. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor, but sometimes we're lucky, and the theater will be fairly empty and a fairly clear signal will be heard.



TELESYNC (TS) -

A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A direct audio source does not ensure a good quality audio source, as a lot of background noise can interfere. A lot of the times a telesync is filmed in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges drastically, check the sample before downloading the full release. A high percentage of Telesyncs are CAMs that have been mislabeled.



TELECINE (TC) -

A telecine machine copies the film digitally from the reels. Sound and picture should be very good, but due to the equipment involved and cost telecines are fairly uncommon. Generally the film will be in correct aspect ratio, although 4:3 telecines have existed.



SCREENER (SCR) -

A pre VHS tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a VHS tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (full screen) a/r, although letterboxed screeners are sometimes found. The main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Also, if the tape contains any serial numbers, or any other markings that could lead to the source of the tape, these will have to be blocked, usually with a black mark over the section. This is sometimes only for a few seconds, but unfortunately on some copies this will last for the entire film, and some can be quite big. Depending on the equipment used, screener quality can range from excellent if done from a MASTER copy, to very poor if done on an old VHS recorder thru poor capture equipment on a copied tape. Most screeners are transferred to VCD, but a few attempts at SVCD have occurred, some looking better than others.



DVD-SCREENER (DVDscr) -

Same premise as a screener, but transferred off a DVD. Usually letterbox , but without the extras that a DVD retail would contain. The ticker is not usually in the black bars, and will disrupt the viewing. If the ripper has any skill, a DVDscr should be very good. Usually transferred to SVCD or DivX/XviD.



DVDRip -

A copy of the final released DVD. If possible this is released PRE retail again, should be excellent quality. DVDrips are released in SVCD and DivX/XviD.



TVRip -

TV episode that is either from Network (capped using digital cable/satellite boxes are preferable) or PRE-AIR from satellite feeds sending the program around to networks a few days earlier (do not contain "dogs" but sometimes have flickers etc)


WORKPRINT (WP) -

A workprint is a copy of the film that has not been finished. It can be missing scenes, music, and quality can range from excellent to very poor. Some WPs are very different from the final print

DivX Re-Enc -

A DivX re-enc is a film that has been taken from its original VCD source, and re-encoded into a small DivX file. Most commonly found on file sharers, these are usually labeled something like Film.Name.Group(1of2) etc. Common groups are SMR and TND. These aren't really worth downloading, unless you're that unsure about a film u only want a 200mb copy of it.

The Ultimate reality show ends

The LEFT – CONGRESS Reality TAMASHA ends……

The Tom and Jerry game which continued for more than a year finally ended on July 8th. The left pulls out from UPA. All the 59 Mp’s have withdrawn their support. The reason is Nuke Deal??? Ridiculous.

The Left simply takes this as a piece of cake to threaten the congress government for over a year just to fulfill their needs. Finally when congress has nothing else to spare and with samajwadis giving their support, they had no other way, just to stop their game show.

With pretty good offers in hand, samajwadi can fulfill their demands and gain benefits. But if you hear from samajwadi you can see them saying “ we are doing this for the benefits of the people and national interest.

The turning point of the game was the ultimate support of prime minister for the nuclear deal with Sonia Gandhi had no other way, to support the prime minister. With all these updates, the happy man might be the one and only person- Mr. Bush.


OK let us all see how long the next reality Tamasha show- part 2 between the congress and Samajwadis party continues. Lets us hope part give better TRP rating than part 1……………………………

Dasavatharam Review

Dasavatharam Review

As the Name implies kamal and director k.s ravi kumar has taken many avatars in releasing the film finally after many hurdles starting from story theft issue and other court issues which created a silly hype and propaganda.

Finally to start with the movie review, kamal as done everything starting from story, screenplay and dialogue. However k.s ravi kumar just seems to be just be a director only for namesake.Kamal has tried to spin a better story with the ten characters. But he has failed in providing a viewers with a steady story line. Hats off to the astonishing make up provided.

The story starts off in 12 th century when the chola king(napolean) forces kamal( nambi -1st character) to worship only lord siva. when he refuses he is thrown into sea alive with the statue of lord vishnu. Technical aspects starting from temple to transportation of nambi along with the idol were done better.but there seems some lack of brilliancy in potraying the scenario.Napolean tries to convince the viewers in providing the king like appearance. However his slang of tamil does not suit him as a tamil king of olden days.

Asin has tried to portray herself as a true wife to nimbi charcter. But nothing special makes the charcter stay alive in the minds of audience.

With Nambi thrown in water, the scene moves to the current era. Kamal enters into his second character(govindaraj) the scientist who is working in U.S. He tries to prevent the evil fellows from capturing the bio-weapon. The vayal( the bioweapon) finds its way to India and kamal chases it along with Fletcher(the third kamal-the villain).

I would like to mention one comedy over here. A monkey which is used for testing purpose escapes from the lab by pressing the exact password which release the cage. Funny ah. Logic less tamil and cinema never minds or cares about such silly blunbers.

The old lady charcter portrayed by kamal is brilliant. However she has less role to do. The ultimate hero and comedian of the movie is balram naidu which is played by kamal. He uses the telugu slang to creates a humorous environment. Otherwise the story lacks its pace and simply keeps moving on with asin always shouting perumale, perumale. Hmmmmmmmmm poor girl. Avatar singh the Punjabi pop singer has less role to do. However he is utilized for the oh oh sanam song sequence.

The other ultimate logic less scene is avatar singh cancer gets cured when he is shot by a bullet. Brilliant cancer research!!!!. I hope the cancer institute take all its pantients and shoot them to get cured of cancer.

The Japanese and sc kamal makes a guest appearance and deos not add to the storyline in a efficient way. Finally the much hyped tsunami scene which was boosted highly for its graphics was not to the mark. Another scene I would like to pinpoint is kamal and asin makes some romance immediately after tsunami. With such grave things around how can one make romance and simply debate upon a issue. Hmmmmmmmm. This seems like when you met with a accident, you are telling the doctor in the hospital how the accident happened.

With a thin story line and mix of entertainment the film may have already made huge collections. However for ardent kamal fans this film may be a little blow except for the much hyped animation and excellent make-up…………..

Overall, the film is worth watching once in theater if you are neutral. Leave your brains out and go looking for an entertainer. You will not be disappointed. Dasavatharam is meant to be an exhibition of Kamal's talents and it truly is a grand exhibition.
