Jodhaa Akbar - Movie Review
I thought it is going to be a historical portrayal of Akbar before the release. But it turned out to be more of love story which starts after the marriage of Jodhaa with Akbar.
The movie has got everything - Political moves, war, hatred, jealous, love of religions, love story between the lead pair and family bonding and kitchen cabinet sabotage, plans etc...
The acting is top notch by Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya, Ila Arun. The sets are class apart. Scripting is fairly good and covering all sort of angles. Clothes and Jewellery are outstanding. Photography is mind blowing.
Salute to A R Rahman for the great music score. I felt that first ten minutes of music was bit loud bit it toned down when the movie settles down. I didnt like the music at two points due to familiarity - One place similar to Bombay movie and the
other with Boopalam raaga when Hrithik gets well.
Another salute to Ashutosh for making this movie. I now realise what a grand movie means. Mr Shankar (south indian director of Sivaji, Mudalvan) should see this movie to understand how money can be spent to make the movie look lavish.

On Raj Thackery's Outburst
Raj Thackery's outburst
Raj created a havoc with his mumbai for mumbaikers comment a week ago.
My reaction is as follows:
1. Every Indian citizen has got right to live where ever he chooses in any part of India. But inciting violence is highly deplorable.
2. But the government of India is equally responsible in createing industrial belts across the India so that huge migrations can be little better managed.
3. I am taking Tamil Nadu and karnataka as example as I am very familiar with both these states. If one take example of Tamil Nadu, most of job opportunities are available around Chennai and some fraction of it in Coimbatore.
4. There is not much of job opportunities outside Bangalore too.
5. So, people from all over India migrated to Chennai to make a living. I can see plenty of north Indians in Chennai compared to what I saw in 1995 or so. North East females have taken over all hi-fi restaurents over last 2-3 years.
6. There is nothing wrong in movement of people. But in-action of Government is making all state equal is disturbing.
7. To me, the way UP, Bihar or North East being ignored for so many years is really disturbing than migration.

Titbits
1. Two songs from Billa (vethalai, my name is billa ) are beamed only in Isaiaruvi channel and not in any other channel. Donno the logic. But all remix songs are looks so bad after the engeyum eppothum supermix !!!
2. Have you listened to Nakka Mooka song from Kadhalil Vizhunthen movie? I listened to female version song in FM radio while driving.... I thought i had enough of Kuthu songs but this song & kutti pisase song from kaalai are ear shattering...
3. I managed to saw Mudhal Mazhai song from Bheema on Sun Music this week. Trisha wears Black Coat / Suit costume in this song - it suits her like "T".
4. Stock market Comment - US, China, Japan and India's stock market authorities decided to make ECG report mandatory for investors along with other requirements like Bank A/c, Demat A/c, PAN Card etc as the markets are turning real volatile in 2008 ...
5. Query to South India - any one able to see NDTV Imagine or any other recently launched new channels in Dish TV or set top boxes... ?

Saw some movies this week
Managed to see two movies this week.
1. Polladhavan - Nice tamil movie starring Dhanush. I liked this movie because of its narration more than story. Great comedy track, most of us would have come across similar people in our life as portrayed in comedy track like dhanush or karuna. Super time pass. Dhanush is improving a lot. Looking forward for his next movie with beautiful Nayan.
2. Seven Samurai (Classic) - Watched in DVD. I had seen other Akira Kurosawa's movies like bad sleeps well, roshamon etc. But this movie is outstanding for the story telling method. Almost 3 hours but worth it. The way the villagers goes out and hires samurais, and the settling down of samurais in village and preparation for bandit's attack etc... Wow !!!

February 2008 - Market outlook
Sensex would move in a range between 17000 to 21000 levels in Feb. FIIs have pressed significant sale in Indian stocks in the month of Jan 08 and hence I feel that they would continue to supply the stocks at higher levels. ACC (Rs.768) and India Cement (Rs. 205) are good investment at current levels.
Indian Budget (7th by Finance Minister Mr. P Chidambaram) would provide indication future trend.
As for as US markets concerned, i think, most of the bad news are out and bad news could take a breather in Feb 08.
