Paramasivan - Movie review

PARAMASIVAN - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

What the hell happened to Ajith? Has he been diagnosed with some disease? Why is he so thin and awkward? The plot for the movie is straight out of an old English film. Having said that, performances by Prakash Raj and Jeyaram are at their consistent best.

Laila as the eccentric girl who falls for the hero is getting to be ridiculous. She can obviously act if given good roles. What we cannot figure out is, why she keeps doing these lousy roles.

We do not need more movies like these. If Tamil cinema is to rise above the level of front-bench trash, we need movies with good stories. Like they say in real estate, where it is all about location, location, location, in cinema it is all about story, story, story.

If you have a good story to tell, all other aspects of movies making such as actors, editing, direction and so on will become secondary. There is enough evidence for my theory. If we look back at the history of cinema, we will find that the best movies, did not all have excellent actors or editing or direction. But we will find that they had a good story to tell.

This movie is a must avoid.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 1.

SHE SAID:

If this is the kind of movies that the people want Ajith acting in, what is wrong in giving them what they want. Cinema is meant to be an entertainment. We should come out of a movie feeling happy. We don't need heavy themes that make us cry. we have enough of that in real life. The common man is overwhelmed by the reality of his life and tries to escape this reality for a couple of hours in a cinema being entertained by magical worlds other than the one he lives in.

So I say more power to Ajith and movies like Paramasivan.

Go see this movie, if you are looking to pass your time.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 4.

We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone's goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I'm having a whale of a time!

You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
As soon as we acknowledge
this Supreme Designer/Architect,
Who has erected the beauteous
fabric of the universe, our minds
must necessarily be ravished with
wonder at this infinate goodness,
wisdom and power.

Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.

There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.

Best wishes for continued ascendancy,
Dr. Howdy


P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."
