Debacle of Humanity

Its the usual weekend in chennai.people do nothing but just relax , part, shop, hog food and watch movies.
this might sound familiar to anyone who is reading this cos this happens in all the cities in india actually even better. i was to one of those place where these things happen. EA its not the EA Sports i am talking but this
express avenue a mall opened recently in chennai.i was at the food court which was so crowded that it is impossible to count the heads there. people where ordering and spending frivolously on all the junk they can lay hands on, just to make themselves more obese.

but why all of a sudden i have to talk about something which just normal. there is something more alarming happening on other part of the world which people dont care about.
its been three years since there was rain in Somalia and it has been officially declared famine.
why such a huge disparity?
thousands of people are dying due to hunger, small children dying of malnutrition.
mothers watch their kids die bcos of hunger in front of their eyes, worst thing that can happen to anyone
help is pouring  as much as the amount of rain that the Somalians received in last 3 years.
UN is still seeking permission from for al- shabab to help somalians.
no wonder not much indiam news channel is covering this since this of low TRP.
whats interesting about people dying than shahruk`s new film ra-one
why is there not much help from other developed countries
are they very busy fighting terrorism forgetting humanity?
or there is only poverty, famine and malnutrition children in somalian and not oil, wealth, minerals?
amidst the wosrt austerity the compassionate towards humanity has never been so low
i am appalled by this kind of capitalistic behavior

Spread the word so that there is at least a trickle of help seep into Somalia
Making the place you live a better place for everyone to live is gives you eternal happiness

Deivathirumagal Film Review


Deiva thitumagal "a film by Vikram" suits much better than "a film by Vijay"
This is a film about the relationship between mentally challenged fatther and his daughter.
Vikram (Krishna) is a person who has a growth of a 5 year. Krishna`s daughter nila is separated from his in-
law`s.Anushka shetty (lawyer) who falls for krishna`s true affection towards his daughter takes up the case and fight for krishna.The movie though is predicable and on the slower side, vikram`s acting and the bonding between father and daugther holds the audience with emotion.This is one of vikram`s best acting and he has proved himself once again as one of the few heroes who can act. vikram`s poignant dialogues/scene  in climax did make a few cry.The relationship between dad and daughter has been portrayed really well. six year old sara`s acting  was no less than vikram`s in this film.Anuska who had some scope for acting in this film has done justice to her role.Amala paul is not that impressive but cant blame her as didn't have much of a important character.Santanam as usual was good at  his comedy

Why you should watch the Movie ??
Watch it just for Vikram`s acting. he has an alluring appeal which has elevated the film a step higher.
there were good performances from sara(nila),  anuska but everything was overshadowed by vikram`s acting

Whats wrong in the Movie??
apart from vikram script is the protagonist in this script  which is rehash of "I am SAM" english movie
This brings up a point of plagiarism in indian film industry which is definitely a sad state for our over appreciative films
The song at the end with anuska and vikram was uninvited and absurd

finally wat say?
If you have not seen "I am sam" then this is a must watch
But watch Deiva thirumagal even if you have watched "I am SAM" , just for vikram`s acting

Whats the Score ?
6.5/10
Had this been an original script then it would be  8.0/10
