The real entertainer!
.Nanban* rocks! BO;
The long Sankranthi
weekend turned out to be a blessing for Nanban, as it had a dream run at the
Tamil Box Office (BO). The Kollywood film released on January 12 has made a
record-breaking business at the BO.
If the trade reports are
to be believed, it has raked in Rs 57 crore at the Tamil Box Office in the
four-day weekend. Witnessing 90% occupancy on single screens and multiplexes,
it collected close to Rs 15 crore on the opening day itself.
Nanban was released in
450 theatres in Tamil Nadu of which 27 screens in Chennai. The movie
simultaneously hit the screens in Australia, UK, USA, Malaysia, Singapore, and
others countries.
Vijay and Ileana
D'Cruz's passionate lip lock in Nanban has become the talk of the town. The
audience, who were not aware of the kissing scene, were surprised to see the
Kaavalan star sharing the
smooch in the recently released Tamil movie.
The movie is a remake of
Bollywood blockbuster
While Aamir Khan and
Kareena Kapoor shared as many as three lip-locks in 3 Idiots, the original
version of Nanban, in the Tamil film, Vijay-Ileana have featured in one kissing
sequence. Director Shankar has kept it as a surprising element in the climax of
the Kollywood movie. However, it lasts for 50 seconds. As a result, their
chemistry has worked big time in the movie.
It has driven the
audience crazy. The Tamil version of Bollywood blockbuster 3 Idiots has taken
Vijay's fans by storm thereby running into packed theaters all across Tamil
Nadu. Thanks to the wonderful content, this is pulling the audience from all
age groups.
Traders claim that
Nanban has all the ingredients, which the audience loves to, watch on-screen.
The only factor missing in the movie is action-sequence part. However, the
audience seems to have not bothered about it and they love the Tamil film as it
is.
An excited fan named
Algated on our review expressed his view on Nanban. He wrote, “Kudos to Shankar
for three reasons. First, coming forward to make a remake film breaking his
macho image. Second, his eagerness to see the movie with good messages reaches
Tamil audiences. Third, by bringing up a combination of multiple heroes in single
movies, setting up a new trend in Tamil movies.”

The Hindu : Arts / Cinema : Double Impact?
The Hindu : Arts / Cinema : Double Impact?
Music has
always been a highlight in Lingusamy's flicks — Aanandam,
Run, Ji, Sandakozhi, Bheema, Paiyaaand, now, Vettai. “I am basically a lyricist. Good lyrics decide the success of
a song. I then sit with the music director. It helps that I have an ear for
music!”
Double Impact?
SUBHA J RAO
Vettai
Director
N. Lingusamy speaks to Subha J Rao about the multi-starrer Vettai and the happy
vibes on the sets
It's
been 11 years since his debut, the superhit multi-starrer Aanandam. After a tryst with romance, action and even
a road movie, director N. Lingusamy returns with Vettai,
starring Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul. The film releases on
January 14. “I wanted Maddy to essay the cop, and considered Vijay for the
other character. Eventually, Arya stepped into that one. When I signed them on,
I never knew the two had a mutual admiration society going. That chemistry
shines on screen,” says Lingusamy. The same holds true for Sameera and Amala,
who rock as sisters, he says.
Vettai is Lingusamy's seventh film. Since the director is known for
showcasing actors in a new avatar (chocolate-hero Maddy turned action star with Run; rustic raja Karthi turned suave in Paiyaa), what does this film have in store for them? “Arya's been
choosing his roles wisely. Vettai will see him make a mark as an action hero. He's been waiting for
an ‘action' film for long.” Also, Madhavan shows his comic side, city slicker
Sameera plays village belle and a demure Amala turns glamorous.
All the
actors have been talking about what a scream the shooting was. “I learnt from
Mammooty Sir. During Aanandham, he
wanted the cast to stay together so that the warmth would get translated onto
the screen. Luckily, during Vettai, we
got to stay together at The Bangla, in Karaikudi. It was great fun. I like
everybody to be happy on the sets. That's when actors can deliver their best.
Shooting is fraught with tension, so I plan ahead. We rehearse and then chill
out. There's more camaraderie and involvement. Deep inside, I'm tense. But, why
show it?”
The
candid director accepts failure with a smile. “Even during shooting, you know
if things are working out or not. But, you cheat yourself and continue working.
However, you redeem yourself by working harder on your next film.”
He
speaks fondly about Bheema, the
Vikram-starrer. “A beautiful film. I had doubts about the tragic climax. It was
a risk that backfired. But thanks to that film, I realised I had a fan
following and that people expected a certain kind of film from me. All those
lessons have been put to use in Vettai. I'll
learn from this too,” he laughs.
Music has
always been a highlight in Lingusamy's flicks — Aanandam,
Run, Ji, Sandakozhi, Bheema, Paiyaaand, now, Vettai. “I am basically a lyricist. Good lyrics decide the success of
a song. I then sit with the music director. It helps that I have an ear for
music!”
Kumbakonam
to Kodambakkam — did he imagine he'd come this far? “I never doubted I'd make
it. There was struggle and poverty, but I'd tell my friends that I would
narrate all this to my interviewers someday.”
Over
the years, the director has worked at a steady pace. “I'm happy doing one film
a year. I plan a film, but wait for the opportune moment to start it.” His
films are aesthetic too. “The setting is so important. Bharathan Sir is a huge
inspiration. A film must have a great story, but also be visually appealing,”
he says.
Lingusamy's
also a producer, having made Deepavali,
Pattalam, Paiyaa andVettai (along with UTV Motion Pictures) under the Thirupathi Brothers
banner, with sibling Chandrabose. He's also producing Balaji Sakthivel's Vazhakku Enn 18/9. How
does he strike a balance between production and direction? “Never had to. I
have never been extravagant just because someone else was the producer. At the
same time, I've stood by what I felt is necessary for a film.” Why Thirupathi
Brothers? “Ah! That's the name of our maligai kadai back home!”
Romance,
action or family drama? Romance.
I’d love to make a full-length love story someday.
Bollywood
bound I’m
working on the Hindi remake of Paiyaa. The cast is yet to be finalised. We’ll
start once Vettai releases. It’s almost like the original, but I’m hoping to
weave in some beautiful scenes that got left behind on the editing table.
Sounds
so nice 'Theradi
Veedhiyil Devadha’ (Run); ‘Pallankuzhiyil’ (Aanandham-the first song I
recorded); ‘Ding Dong’ (Ji); ‘Thavanipoatta Deepavali’ (Sandaikozhi); ‘En
Kaadhal Solla’ (Paiyaa); and ‘Pappapappa Pa’ (Vettai).

Released on : June 19, 1998
Just seven years ago, a movie with Aamir Khan, Deepak Tijori, and a fairly new actress (Ayesha Jhulka) and music by Jatin-Lalit released. The result: Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. This year, the same pair of actors and music director combine with Ranee Mukherjee to come up with Ghulam. A song even resembles the fabulous "Pelha Nasha" of seven years ago, but the movie doesn't resemble JJWS… not even a little bit.
Violence and rage is the name of this movie, with a short love story twisted somewhere in the middle.
Siddharth (Aamir Khan) is a Mumbai tapori, a boxing champion. His brother, Jai, makes money through a former boxing champion who now rules the community through terrorizing people and stealing money from innocent merchants. Siddharth saw his father's death when he was a child; this mentally effected him throughout his life. His father's words remained with him, though he had only been with his father for a little while. Siddharth meets a young woman, Ayesha (Ranee Mukherjee) who rides with a motorcycle gang and Charlie (Deepak Tijori). This is a flavor for some comedy and a brilliant scene in which Siddharth is running towards a train and as the train is only a few feet away he jumps out of the way.

Siddharth and Ayesha meet for the first time and fall in love, and the typical love story follows. Siddharth meets another person who reminds him of his father, Hari. He learns a bit more from this man of wisdom and helps him in his truth. How he does this and the how the message of Hari and his father is carried out should be witnessed in the movie.
