Prithviraj has a dream!


Director Pradeep Nair, whose art film Oridam earned the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress (Geethu Mohandas), is getting ready for his next film I Have A Dream, starring young actor Prithviraj in the lead.

According to sources, the movie has nothing to do with revolutionary Martin Luther King's historical speech on similar lines. Produced by Saji Nanthiyattu under the banner of Nanthiyattu Films, I Have A Dream is touted to be a suspense thriller with two heroines. More details are awaited.

Meanwhile, for the first time in his career, Prithviraj will simultaneously handle three roles in Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram to be directed by Shaji Kailas. As the title hints, Raghupathi, Raghava and Rajaram are the names of Prithviraj's three characters. The shoot will begin in July at the locations of Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode.

மணிரத்னத்தின் ராவண்...தொடரும் சோதனைகள்!


மணிரத்னம் இயக்கும் மெகா படமான ராவண் படத்துக்கு (தமிழில் அசோகவனம்) சோதனைகள் தொடர்கின்றன. இந்தப் படத்தின் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் மணிகண்டன் பாதியில் விலகிக் கொண்டதால், இப்போது புதிய ஒளிப்பதிவாளராக சந்தோஷ் சிவன் பணியாற்றுகிறார்.
இதுவரை எடுத்த காட்சிகளைப் போட்டுப் பார்த்த மணி ரத்னம் மற்றும் சந்தோஷ் சிவன் இருவருக்குமே திருப்தி இல்லாததால், மீண்டும் அவற்றை ரீஷூட் செய்யத் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளார்களாம். இதனால் ஏற்கெனவே பல காரணங்களால் தாமதமாகிவிட்ட ராவண் படம் எப்போது முடியும் என்றே தெரியாத நிலை ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது.

ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் மணிகண்டன் தினச் சம்பளம் அடிப்படையில் பணியாற்றுபவர். விளம்பரப் படங்களில் அவருக்கு நல்ல வருமானம். இந்தியில் பிஸியான கேமரானமேன் இவர்தான்.

இவரை ராவண் படத்துக்கு விரும்பி அமர்த்தினார் மணிரத்னம். ராவண் படத்துக்கு 100 நாட்கள் கால்ஷீட் கொடுத்திருந்தார் மணிகண்டன். ஆனால் 100 நாட்கள் தாண்டியும் படத்தில் பாதிகூட முடியவில்லையாம். கேரள வனத்துறையினரால் பிரச்சினை, மணிரத்னம் திடீர் உடல் நலக் குறைவால் படப்பிடிப்பை தொடர முடியாமல் போனது போன்ற காரணங்களால் படம் பெருமளவு தாமதமானது.

படத்தின் நாயகி ஐஸ்வர்யா ராய் கொடுத்த கால்ஷீட் முடிந்துவிட்டாலும் மணிரத்னத்துக்காக மேலும் இருமாதங்கள் கால்ஷீட்டை நீட்டிக்க அவர் ஒப்புக் கொண்டுள்ளார். விக்ரம் போன்ற மற்ற கலைஞர்களும் சூழல் புரிந்து ஒத்துழைக்கத் தயாராக இருந்தனர். ஆனால் மணிகண்டன் மட்டும் விலகிக் கொள்வதாக அறிவித்துவிட்டார்.

இந்த இக்கட்டான சூழலில், மணிரத்னத்தின் ஆஸ்தான ஒளிப்பதிவாளர்களில் ஒருவரான சந்தோஷ் சிவன் கைகொடுத்துள்ளார்.

இப்போது காட்சிகளை மறுபடியும் போட்டுப் பார்த்த மணிரத்னம் மற்றும் சந்தோஷ் சிவனுக்கு, இன்னும் பெட்டராக எடுத்திருக்கலாமே என்ற எண்ணம் மேலோங்கிவிட, பல காட்சிகளை மறுபடியும் சுடப் போகிறார்களாம்.

Prithviraj in I Have A Dream

Pradeep Nair of Oridam fame is back with a new subject and new characters. His new movie titled I Have A Dream with Prithviraj as the lead hero is evocative of a historical legend and its associated myths. However the director claims to showcase a thriller which will be based on Martin Luther King's famous historical speech along those lines.

Buzz up!
His debut venture Oridam had won rave reviews at many Festivals and other cultural meets. The filmmaker is trying on the garb of versatility by indulging in a wide variety of themes. If Oridam with Geethu Mohandas in the lead role addressed the concerns of the street prostitutes, then I Have A Dream will make a difference with its historical threads. This movie will have two heroines and they are yet to be decided.

Prithviraj in Robin Hood

Prithviraj does the key role in Robin Hood, directed by hit-maker Joshiy. The film, which has already started rolling in Ernakulam, is produced under the banner of Anantha Vision and is based on script by the Sachi-Sethu duo who had earlier scripted Chocolate. Robin Hood tells the story of a robbery conducted at an ATM counter and the investigation that follows. It also has romance and friendship woven into the plot. Other than Prithviraj, it’s Bhavana and Narain who do the key roles. Shaji is the cinematographer while M. Jayachandran sets to tune songs penned by Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri.

It is also said that this is the first time that Suhasini has taken up full fledged writer’s role so this should be interesting.

Is Robinhood a Mallu version of Dhoom?

Joshy is back to enthrall the audience with a spine-chilling thriller Robinhood. Robinhood has three dashing young heroes Prithviraj, Narain and Jayasurya to bring the sweet memories of Classmates. Prithviraj appears on screen as a hi-tech thief with Bhavana as his sweetheart. Biju Menon, Salim Kumar, and Samvrutha Sunil also appear in prominent roles in the movie The director claims to take the movie along a different line with its initial happy mood giving way to a thriller, all pitched against the backdrop of a private bank, its guest house and the events that unfold there. Joshy's Robinhood is likely to steal the show during Ramzan and the shooting is currently progressing in Kochi, Kerala. Seems like the Dhoom fever has caught up with the Malayalam film industry.

Is Mani Ratnam re-shooting Raavan?


Ever since cameraman Manikandan quit Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus bi-lingual Raavan, the Kollywood grapevine has been abuzz that large chunks of the film are going to be re-shot!

Though Manikandan is refusing to comment, sources in the industry say that the cameraman left in a huff as he had given more number of days for the film, than what he had agreed upon.

Please note that Manikandan makes big money on daily wages shooting commercial ad films in Mumbai than feature films.

So, after shooting for 100 days continuously for Raavan , he found that the film was nowhere near completion and Mani wanted more dates from him but was not willing to pay him !

The working style and shot composition of the director and the cameraman clashed and soon Manikandan realized the best way forward was to opt out of the project and go back to making ad films!

As per the grapevine, after Santosh Sivan joined the unit, Mani is planning to reshoot large chunks of the film. Santosh and Mani have terrific rapport and understanding, having worked in four films together out of which two has fetched the cameraman National Awards in cinematography.

Santosh Sivan joins team ‘Raavan’


The ‘Raavan’ team has been into a lot lately. First it was the director Mani Ratnam becoming ill to the point of getting hospitalized. Now it is his camera man for the film Manikandan walking out on him.

The reason for Manikandan quitting is because he seems to committed himself to a Farah Khan project that is about to begin in June. With Mani getting ill and the project stalling a getting delayed Manikandan seems to have not fulfilled his commitment to Mani Ratnam.

So what happens now? Mani Ratnam has called his old friend and ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan to complete his project ‘Raavan’ successfully. With more than 60 percent of the film complete and his cinematographer walking out on him Mani Ratnam is confident that Santosh will do justice to the film.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

The Mani Ratnam – Santosh Sivan duo have churned out blockbuster films like ‘Roja’, ‘Thalapathi’, ‘Iruvar’ and ‘Uyire’ the Hindi version being ‘Dilse’.

Biggies move from Onam to Ramzan!

For the first time in over a decade, there will be no major Malayalam releases for Onam 2009.

Onam which falls on September 2, is falling in the middle of Noyambu (Fasting period) season, starting on August 20 to September 20. During Noyambu season traditionally Malayalam films are not released, due to poor collections.

So the biggies have all shifted their release to Friday, September 18, as Ramzan will be falling on Sep 19/20 in Kerala.

Among the biggies are Mammootty�s epic magnum opus Pazhassi Raja, directed by Hariharan. Mohanlal�s untitled Roshan Andrews film for producer Antony Perumbavoor, Dileep�s Bodyguard directed by Siddique and Prithviraj�s Robin Hood, directed by Joshy.

Different kind of publicity for ‘Police Police’


A different kind of publicity has been witnessed in Tollywood for the first time. Usually people wait for the audio launch to hear the songs unless they have been leaked into the internet.

However two of the songs in “Police Police” were previewed on Radio Mirchi even before the audio launch took place. This technique has definitely worked for the audio since all the songs got good response.

The movie stars Sriram and Prithviraj in the lead along with Kamalini Mukherjee and Sanjana. Will this lead to others following similar techniques? Well this may put an end to music being leaked through different other channels.

Priyamani not thinking of falling in love


Contrary to the rumours linking south beauty Priyamani with three heroes, the actress says she isn’t thinking of falling in love for some years at least.

Priyamani has been bonding big time with co-star Tarun while shooting ‘Nava Vasantham’, sparking the rumours that something indeed is brewing between the two. However, Priyamani insists it’s nothing more than camaraderie between two co-stars.

The girl goes on to say that she hasn’t even met Tarun personally after wrapping the shooting of ‘Nava Vasantham’.



Meanwhile, Priyamani has also been linked with Tamil-Malayalam actor Prithviraj , who, the actress says, is “a family friend”, but claims there’s nothing more to the relationship.

Perhaps the nastiest of the rumour has been that Priyamani has been gifted a car by a male actor.

“Rubbish!” says she, adding, “I bought my Innova with my hard earned money. No one gifted it to me.”

On the closing note, she reveals she is single but not ready to mingle because she has a career to focus on.

Mani Ratnam upset by media reports!

Ace director Mani Ratnam is gradually recovering and has resumed work. Cources close to him say the director is upset with some media reports claiming the director wants to shoot his next film in Sri Lanka. Actually, Mani never wanted to shoot there because of the atrocities being committed aginst Tamils; he had never sought any support or help from the Sri Lankan government either.

He has decided to shoot the remaining parts of his film in Pollachi (Tamil Nadu) and Chalakudy in Kerala. The entire cast and crew, including Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, had to adjust their schedule because of Mani's illness.

His doctors have advised him to take rest; at the moment, about 70% of the Ravan shoot has been completed. In the meanwhle, word has got out that he is ready with another script, a village-based love story tentatively titled Rukmani.

Moviebuzz Raavan goes to Chalakudy via Pollachi!


Mani Ratnam did not cast his vote on Wednesday in Chennai for the Lok Sabha elections. He is convalescing in his new bungalow in the cooler climes of Kodaikanal.

Sources close to him say he is upset with stories making the rounds that he wanted to shoot his Raavan in Sri Lanka. Why should Mani shoot in Sri Lanka, when Tamil’s are being butchered in Sri Lanka? He would never seek the support of the Sri Lankan government to shoot there as it is a sensitive matter in Tamilnadu.

Meanwhile Mani will be back to work on May 25. He will be shooting first some village scenes in Pollachi and later shift to Chalakudy to do the forest scenes. After he completes this long schedule, nearly 75 percent of the film will be over.

The entire star cast of the film in Hindi and Tamil who have graciously adjusted their dates to suit Mani will be there for this schedule.

Calendar Review

Calender Review









Cast: Prithviraj, Mukesh, Navya Nair, Zarina Wahab, Jagathy Sreekumar, Manianpillai Raju, Kottayam nazeer
Director: Mahesh
Producer: Saji Nanthiattu
Lyrics: Anil Panachooran
Cinematography: Vipin Mohan
Story and Screenplay: Babu Janardhanan

Calendar directed by Mahesh Padmanabhan is a family film which makes the viewers feels as if they are watching a serial in big screen with rich cast.

Prithviraj as Sojan has acted well, even though he has nothing much to do in this movie. His films are expected to attract youth audience, while the paradox is, this film has got nothing much to offer for them, which may lead to bad publicity as the youth audience suffers a let down.

Story is primarily about a dangerously possessive mother and her daughter.
Thankam George (Zarina Wahab), who is a widowed lecturer, lives for her only daughter Kochu Rani (Navya Nair). Thangam George is willing to do anything so that no one comes between her and the daughter.

In the acting front everyone does a neat job except some junior artists and a comedy actor. Mukesh looks young in his new makeup. Jagathy and Mallika Sukumaran provide lighter moments supported by Maniyan Pillai Raju and the actress who does the character of servant in Navya’s house.

Interval is put in the wrong place and audience gets the impression as if the projectionist cut the film as he wanted to take a leak.

The climax portion is expected to attract female audience.

Babu Janardhanan the pet writer of Prithviraj pushes pen for this movie. Many questions remain unanswered when viewers get out of the theatre but a better question will be who takes energy to ask them and to whom.

The film looks old which is partly due to the camera. Don’t know if director insisted that feel. Being a debutant, the director could have selected a better story.

Film seems to have made in low budget and expected to break even for the produce

Zarina Wahab cannot lift Calendar


An exploration of the psyche of a single mother' is enough to summarise the new Malayalam film Calendar; the debut directorial venture by former actor Mahesh.

On the face of it, there are lots of things going for this film, including a stellar star cast with Prithviraj, Navya Nair and yesteryear heartthrob Zarina Wahab. Scripted by Babu Janardhanan and based on a short story by M D Radhika, the film tells the story of a widow named Thankam George (Zarina Wahab), whose world revolves around her daughter Kochurani (Navya Nair).

This tale will sound familiar as it is similar to Achuvinte Amma, actress Urvasi's comeback film released a few years back. There are just some cosmetic differences in the narrative as Janardhanan uses a complicated form with flashbacks and other tools to confuse the viewer. He even pads up his script with silence and psychological tricks to give it profundity.

Coming back to the story, it gets a third angle by the virtue of the daughter's lover. Sojappan (Prithviraj) is a fun-loving, rich youngster dabbling in many businesses. Sojappan makes a formal proposal for Kochurani's hand through a mutual family friend played by ever dependable Jagathy Sreekumar. Thankam dissuades Sojappan by telling him to severe ties with both of them, as she does not wish to be separated from her daughter.

From here, the story gets dizzy making the viewer reel under its spell without having any inkling where it is headed.

There are a few patches where the film works and others where it cannot hold it together. Since it's the director's first attempt, we have to be lenient. But the lack of freshness in the story-telling stands out as a sore thumb. One may argue that Prithviraj's character has a humorous undercurrent, quite a novelty. Still, we have seen him handle lighter roles in films like Chocolate and a couple of his Tamil outings.

Zarina Wahab's comeback is lacklustre to say the least as her character does not have the desired depth. Even her performance does not illuminate the haphazard narrative.

That leaves only Navya Nair to cast a spell. And she does try to weave some magic into her outing in a commercial venture in Malayalam after a long time.

The humour too feels like compartmentalised with Mallika Sukumaran, Jagathy Sreekumar, Manianpillai Raju and Mukesh given the responsibility to pull it off. The veterans do a decent job.

Calendar -- made by a first time firector, with the backing of an experienced scriptwriter Babu Janardhanan and an exceptional cast -- is an average film, and its title is still an enigma.
