Festive Time

The entire Tamil Nadu is in a festive mood. And it will be festive mood all the way till the End of the Year. And I haven't recovered back from my prediction mood. So, here we go.

No official news or spoilers here.



1. It would be the highest grossing Indian film of all-time till date. The film would gross more than what is expected in all centres. There would be wide speculation on the numbers, but nobody will come to know how much were Rajinikanth and Shankar paid !! Incidentally, Shankar becomes the most hyped up directors of Tamil Cinema.

2. The story would be the old good(god) fights bad story. Most of the scenes would remind Mudhalvan and Anniyan. As for as the stunt scenes would go Shankar would have copied the remaining bits of 'The Matrix', which he failed to squeeze into Anniyan. Even though I don't expect a creative new story/screenplay there might be some element of total surprise the director would have reserved for the climax or the pre-climax (A return of the supposed to be extinct Shivaji, may be a double act type).

3. Every song would be picturized spending crores and crores of rupees. Art Direction and Cinematography will be top-notch. The film would be a visual extraveganza. Some dialogues would be amatuerish and Sujatha would disappoint his core fans big time. Viewers who enter with the mind-set of seeing an artistically superior and logical movie would complain of seeing a comic thriller.

4. Its no need to mention about the cast. All eyes and focus will be only on *The Man*, and he will set the screens on fire. Manish Malhotra would set a trend down south. Every scene will have no scarcity for Ssshtyle :) The villain would make a huge impression, and Vivek would be the only other person to get noticed.


1. The story would be unusual. My guess is a Sci-Fi. I'm personally expecting something on the lines of DNA computing, Cloning or Virtual Reality. There would be dialogue speaking Science, and in the process Kamal would fail to connect to the audiences of B & C Centers.

2. The BGM's will disappoint. Songs will not have variety. Most of them would be peppy and foot-tapping. Art Direction and Cinematography would be top-notch, but no extravegant. Story/Screenplay would be revolutionary. Sujatha will excel on bringing the scientific details to screen by his words, yet most of the audiences will struggle.

3. The Cast, is again an one man army (uh, should I say a 10 man army). Mallika Sherawat would enjoy a greater screen space than Asin and would have a tougher role to play (Ushh, Kisss... did I say anything)

4. Oscar Ravichandran will market the film like a genius. However there would be controversy surrounding the story. Enough politics and religious hands will play and Kamal will get bad press.

5. It would be awards galore all the way for the film. Mr. Hassan will win one more National Award this time for the best actor. This film would fare 90% chance of representing India at The Oscars, yet the film will *not* make even a finalist entry.


And thats my 2 cents. Remember, its just a prediction. I have just elaborated the words that describe these great men of Tamil Cinema. 'The Mass' and 'The Class'. Lets enjoy the fun !!!
