KO - Music Review

Movie Name - KO
Music By Harris Jeyaraj


The less is better about the music of Ko. Harris fails to come out of his comfort zone for the N-th time. So., the album sucks big time and sounds highly repetitive, mundane.

Ennamo Yedho is the only brilliant pick of the lot.

Track List

01. Ennamo Yeadho
Aalaap Raju & Prashanthini

02. Gala Gala
Tippu, Krish, Haricharan & Sayanora Phili

03. Venpaniye
Sriram Parthasarathy & Bombay Jayshree

04. Aga Naga
Vijay Prakash, Tippu, Ranina Reddy, Priya Subramani & Solar Sai

05. Netri Pottil
Naresh Iyer

06. Amali Thumali
Hariharan, Swetha Mohan & Chinmayi

Busy 45 days

Hi Folks., Long time since i had simple post to update you all...

1. Had a busy 45 days from Dec first. Came back from Pune., had to set domestic issues in order.

2. Had a lot to catch up with family, friends and relatives. Went around a bit and met first circle.

3. Then, December music festival started. Had season ticket for Parthasarathy swami sabha, Mylapore. Listened close to 15 concerts. Marked improvement in my listening skills w.r.t carnatic music.

4. Working on to identify raagas. As of now., little comfortable in Taalam !

5. Some work at office too. Driving down to MEPZ (21km) is bit tiring and creating little discomfort in knee joints. So., avoiding peak hours as of now.

6. Finally., linked my domain name to my blog. You will be able to see "www.svijayganesh.com" hereafter instead of accessstreet.blogspot.com.

7. Will try to write generic posts regularly from this month...

8. Will post Lyrics only if it is really interesting.... or if it is from a quality composer. and will avoid sundry songs from 2011.

Lyrics of If I rise from 127 hours

Dido and A.R. Rahman – If I Rise Lyrics from 127 hours Movie
Director - Danny Boyle


Dido:

In your life, your mad
In your car, your sad
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

A R R:

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
More than it is

Dido:

If I rise, one more chance
All our dreams, more than this
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

A R R:

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

Child Chorus:

If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call
Though I’ve never lost
Believe I don’t care
Never again

A R R & Dido:

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

Child Chorus:

If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call

Dido:

If I believe, there’s more than this
Anymore than this

No One Killed Jessica - Movie Opinion

I saw No One Killed Jessica at Satyam on Jan 6th Evening show (Blind date).

Plus Points

1. Rocking first half
2. very decent screen play
3. Neat Casting
4. Punch dialogues
5. Not crossing the limits or too much of melo drama or underplay of emotions when the incident still lingers on mind - Thats's the best contribution from the director Rajkumar Gupta of Aamir Fame.

Minus Points

1. Second half could have been tighter
2. Characters left or introduced in midway - Example Inspector role, Head of TV types....

Over all - Worth watching for the promising director & Rani's lovely role.

Man Madan Ambu - Movie Review

I saw Man Madan Ambum at Mayajaal on 25th Dec evening. My opinion below:

1. Story - Rich guy (maddy) is in love with an actress (Trisha) and is suspicious abt her. He hires a ex army major (Kamal) for tracking her while she is holidaying with her classmate friend (Sangeetha). The story unfolds slowly after that ....

2. Casting - Picture perfect.

3. Acting - Sangeetha and her vaal payyan excels in their roles. Maddy is also very good.

4. Technical - Shoddy editing. I observed easily some 6-7 abrupt cuts or hops while I watched. Photography is just adequate. Costumes are so so. The colors of white tops of Trisha for the Hummer drive is hardly visible while she steps out. Such is the selection.

5. Kamal - Story is so so. Screen play is too good and ties down all lose ends. Dialogues are very good like "Kobathil uchcha kattame ahimsai thaan", "alimony was good". Acting - Nothing new., we hv seen it already !

6. Direction - K S Ravi Kumar sounded like holidayed. He should cut down talkie portion to some extent and converted it in action. Drama feel :( :( :(

7. My favourite scenes - Kattai viran scene, Flashback and its reverse technology.

8. Lacking - Drama feel should have been avoided; no logic for love combinations - example Trisha / Kamal - was it bcoz of love, pity or karma ? Same for maddy's.

9. Over all verdict - Oru Murai Paarkalaam and no great shakes
