Hey guys, I'm back on demand... Some people started missing my presence in the net, so here I am. And I should say, this studying thing has been getting into my nerve.

And they finally got their way over with the Nuclear deal... God Bless America and God bless KFC for giving those nice fried chickens... I hope they make a deal to make them cheaper.
So I had a brilliant idea that I start reviewing movies hereafter. Lets start with Saroja.

SAROJA
Its absolutely natural to expect a funnier movie from Venkatprabhu after that laughter ride in Chennai 28 and Venkatprabhu tried to meet the expectations. But I feel he should have made a more serious effort, because such serious life threatening events happen to the protagonist(s) and they still can't stop cracking jokes. Saroja was definitely funny, but not as funny as his previous movie, probably because the movie has a very dark environment and the jokes just don't fit in.
You might have guessed the story yourself... Prakashraj's daughter Saroja is kidnapped and Jeyaram, the assistant Commissioner is trying to help him get the daughter back. The protagonists, SPB Charan, Shiva, Premji and the newbie Vaibhav are out to see a cricket match at Hyderabad. On their way to Hyderabad, they lost their way and stumble into the kidnapper's lair. The unlikely heroes try to escape and eventually save the day with slapstick jokes.
The factory environment chosen for the Kidnapper's lair is brilliant setting, and the cinematographer Sakthi Saravanan has showed off with his skills. Prakashraj shines in acting as a n uncaring father torubled with guilt for neglecting his daughter. Veteran Jeyaram seems as if he is reprising his treacherous role from Dhaam Dhoom. All lead characters have done justice to their roles, all of them except Vega who plays Saroja. She can do well in music videos but she definitely needs to go for acting school. And Nikitha will shine in the hall of fame for item girls.
Yuvan has done a great job in both background music as well as songs. The Verdict? If you want to have an entertaining 2 and a half hours, go to this movie. But pure cinema lovers can stay home and play chess. Saroja gives a feeling that you've already watched a similar english movie on HBO.

If you want to see how a typical frustrated man looks like, watch Ratan Tata's face in the news. The guy was nearly driven insane by Mamata Banerjee's pointless political antics. Nano was scheduled to be released 9 months after its unveiling at the Delhi motor convention earlier this year... and they're behind schedule by 3 months with no factory to make cars. The factory was supposed to be built at singur but the land was required was in troubled waters, thanks to West Bengal's party politics. Now finally Tata walked out of West Bengal and the whole project is relocated to Gujarat and Narendra Modi's smug face can't supress the smile.
Nano will roll out at almost the same date as fixed before but volume needs may not be met. And until then I'll have to use Metropolitan Transport for going to college. And after the release, I'll still go in MTC buses, envying the Nano owners as they drive by.
