Shankar/ARR
BOYS
Shankar and Rahman have been always been a winning combination. Incidently Rahman has composed for all the Shankar movies. Boys will be their sixth film together. The music has already done very well - it has topped the charts ever since the album was released. In Boys, Adnan Sami and Lucky Ali sing a Tamil song for the first time. Vasundara Das, Karthik, Tippu, Dimmi, Kunal, George, Clinton and Chitra Shivraman are the other singers.
Let us take you through a journey into Shankar/A.R Rahman's earlier films.
Gentle Man - Shankar's first movie "Gentle Man" had the best action Indian movie goers ever have seen. The movie was a superhit and the item number "Chikku Bukkku Chikku Bukkku Raile.." by Prabhu Deva and Gauthami made waves all over India.
Kadhalan - This was Prabhu Deva's first movie as a hero. The dance sequences became scintillating for the youth and kept them on the heels. The song "Mukhabala, Mukhabala..." and "Urvashi..." exhibited the best talent in Prabu Deva as a dancer.
Jeans - Jeans made big news because it featured the beautiful Miss.World, Aishwarya Rai. The music was excellent, even now the songs are worth hearing. The Song that compares a woman's beauty with the 7 known wonders of the world is a very rare craftsmanship in Lyrics, Music and the way it was picturized. The Picturization of Aish together with the computer generated Aish was a masterpiece for Shankar's Direction in this tech savvy world..
Indian - Kamal Hassan's who plays a dual role - one as patriotic and the other a notorious, who gets killed for not being honest made a sweep where all its released. Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar co-starred with Kamal, and the music is so pleasing to ears that were choreographed in an appealing way.
Mudhalvan - Arjun's One day Chief Minister assignment in Mudhalvan was the fifth hit for Shankar in Tamil. Asha Bhonsle's "Mudhalvane..." was melodic and Shankar was at his best in picturizing it.

Saw the promo of anniyan on Jaya tv today, vikram resembles Devathai nasar with long curly hair.
Kamal key hallucination romba pidikum, pavam audience, kamaley reject panra story nah eppadi erukumo!
Read on rediff quite sometime back that kamal didn't want to do this after Abhay, as he felt the story was illusive.

Yup, i am watching Sahana since december, the girl (Sahana) resembles my Athai ponnu a lot, i had a big crush on her in my teens. She was 6 years older and nothing kicked off.

HE WHO COMES FROM HELL IS NOT AFRAID OF ASHES
awesome tagline for d movie.wonder if this means vikrams character is a dead one and roams d real world. kinda sci-fi ghost story maybe.i wouldnt mind watchin sumthin like that.
jayaraj tried it once in Naina (thamil version of the english movie GHOST)
http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=13418887
just a side note, u kno Arunachalam was a copy of the english movie Brewsters Millions

thanx for that interesting piece......and can't believe that Arunachalam was a copy of Brewsters Millions
- From: piratheepan (@ 68.88.254.178)
on: Thu Mar 4 08:49:54 EST 2004
have u seen brewsters millions?well the whole second half is a copy, almost exact. The whole part of where he finds out he has a dad and has inherited alot of money and must spend it all etc etc.

i have heard of it..not watched it....anyways...who is the director of arunachalam?
- From: thiru (@ 210.214.131.129)

sundar c.
whats the big deal he copied andaz apna apna to make ullathai alli thaa.
- From: C~P (@ 61.95.159.16)
on: Thu Mar 4 10:57:29 EST 2004
Arunachalam padaththa Copy vaera adichaara?!! Ellam naera kodumai!
btw...I dunno abt Andaz Apna Apna...but Ullathai Allitha was a rehash of "Bommalaattam" and "Sabash Meena" both of which were great comedies and till date Sundar.C is well known for Ullathai Allitha. Again, naera kodumai!!
- From: thiru (@ 210.214.132.149)
on: Thu Mar 4 11:48:29 EST 2004
Sundar c did use lots of comedy scenes from Andaz apna apna, the latter is a laugh riot, Aamir and Salman would have done mind blowing comedy, though Salman was over shadowed by Aamir.
In the tamil version Goundamani ( shades of salmans role) would stuffed to get the prominence.

wasn't Anbe sivam a remake of planes trains and automobiles?
Sundar c again but the credit this time goes to Indian acting icon KH.
- From: piratheepan (@ 68.88.23.227)
on: Thu Mar 4 19:38:54 EST 2004
just the concept in Anbe SIvam of a travel tale thats abt it. and it was kamals story not sundar c. and i bet rajini had alot of input in arunachalam story. i think biggest copier of eng movies is ks ravikumar. like for villain he steals a scene from THE USUAL SUSPECTS (which is an awesome english movie if u guys havent seen it i highly recommend it) the scene in the beginning where ajith pretends to be handicap is a copy just liek they did in the usual suspects.
n e ways wat does ANNIYAN mean?

Anniyan 6 month shooting startin this month expected for deepavali release
- From: paran (@ 203.123.16.163)

Anniyan story revealed...
Vikram in 3 roles
1st Vikram - modern kinda happy go lucky guy...said to be etched based on Aamir Khan's role in DCH
2nd Vikram and Iyer, nerd and very homely boy
3rd is the Dead Vikram. He was sentenced to hell...
now...the story begins with black & white shot of how the 3rd Vikram ends up in Hell, he is a serial killer cum rapist in his past life(another modern setup...no Raja, Mandhiri or Kuthurai)...he was shot dead by police and obviously he was sent to hell...thats where he rebels and make a deal with the King of Demon...if he were to be able to bring an innocent soul and(note and, it means 2 person) an unscrathed body of someone looking like him..then he can be released back to earth..with his own Old body...
But there were conditions set by the King Demon, the Ghost Vikram can never touch or reveal himself to the other 2 Vikrams until Ammavasai...but he can roam ard in the earth...as long as he can kill someone everyday...if he fails to kill anyone for a day..he would be sucked back to hell and thats the end of his quest to recapture his body and released back to earth! While on earth..he can always communicate with the other Vikrams as in can poison their mind, or try to get them into trouble.......
The modern Vikram felt victim to his prey easily..and committed suicide when he found out that his girl friend cheated on him....he poisoned himself and dead...and the body in unscrathed...
now all the 3rd Vikram need is the Innocent Soul of Iyer Vikram....
(I think I should not reveal anything beyod this....)..
looks cool to me...wat u guys think?..
