Every time you go into a cinema hall for a Kamal movie and if the movie promises to be a comedy roller coaster then expectations are sky high for a rip roaring hilarious comic affair. Beware! Manmadham Ambu does not fit into that genre and hence any preconceived notion is detrimental to the excitement. Nevertheless, it is a good movie and is a breezy entertainer but if you have patience the last 30 minutes are rip roaring.
The movie starts off with a Trisha (Ambu aka Nisha) shooting a song with the real hero Suriya. The first scene sets the tone...

I have seen the movie Jodhaa Akbar and must say was a brilliant film falling a little short of a masterpiece; I would say that because I love battle scenes and a couple of battle scenes in the movie were not great, but having said that the movie is just like a poetry. The directors vision to make a movie of this scale must be complimented, Hrithik was just brilliant in his potrayal as Jalaluddin Mohamed Akbar and Aishwarya was as beautiful as ever coupled with a restrained performance. The movie has too many things going for it including...

Indian democracy is on life-support and the need is infusion of fresh blood enthusiasm and honest committed young people with a global perspective who can change the world. What the Indian democracy needs is a list of political reforms is the one that will encourage more participation from the common man. The middle class in India has no interest or say in the political process and that is because the whole structure of Indian democracy is flawed. For example: What will a union minister from Madhya Pradesh know about the infrastructure needs of...

Sometimes I wonder what's the impact of Information Technology on India, on one hand it has provided millions of jobs to people like me and a life and career that would not have been possible 10-15 years ago, but sometimes I wonder what about its effect of diverting young Indians like me from contributing anything to the progress of the country, except for the fact that we are helping in increasing the forex reserves through remittances and the country's export standing.But the larger question is what is role of today's youth in India towards nation...
