தாண்டவம் சினிமா விமர்சனம் – விக்ரம், அனுஷ்கா மற்றும் பலர்

 

முதலில் தமிழ் இயக்குனர்கள், நடிகர்கள் மற்ற கலைஞர்கள் எல்லோருக்கும் ஒருமுறை சுத்திப்போட வேண்டும். இப்போதெல்லாம் ஒவ்வொரு படமும் சிறப்பாகக்கொடுத்து மோசம் என்று சொல்வதே அரிதாகிவிட்டது.

தாண்டவம் – முதல்பாதி விறுவிறுப்பு+கலகலப்பு.இரண்டாவது பாதி ஓகே. மொத்தத்தில் கண்டிப்பாக ஒருமுறை பார்க்கவேண்டிய படம்.

கதை:

சர்ச்சில் பியானோ வாசிக்கும் கண்பார்வையற்ற விக்ரம்,மற்ற நேரங்களில் எங்கோ போய் கொலை செய்துவிட்டு வருகிறார். அவர் போகும்போதெல்லாம் சந்தானம் டாக்ஸியில் போவதும் போலீஸ் சந்தானத்தை பிடித்து விசாரிப்பதும், சந்தானம் போலீஸ் ஆபீசர் நாசரை கலாய்ப்பதும் செம! மிஸ்.இங்கிலாந்து ஆக முயற்சிக்கும் எமி ஜாக்சன் சர்ச் வருகிறார். விக்ரமை காதலிக்கிறார். நான்காவது கொலையை செய்ய முயற்சிக்கும்போது போலீஸ் வந்துவிடுகிறது. – இடைவேளை

 

 

பிளாஷ்பேக் - இந்தியாவின் ராணுவ ரகசியங்கள் அடங்கிய மாப்(வரைபடத்தாள்) ஒன்று பார்சலில் லண்டன் போகிறது. அதை வைத்து நாலே மணிநேரத்தில் குண்டு வெடிக்க வைக்க முடியுமென்பதால் அதைத்தேடி ரா ஏஜன்ட் சிவா (விக்ரம்)லண்டன் போகிறார். ஆனால் போன இடத்தில் விக்ரமின் நண்பரே (ரா ஏஜன்ட்) பணத்திற்காக வரைபடத்தாளை தீவிரவாதிகள் கைக்கு கொடுத்துவிடுகிறார். குண்டு வெடித்து விக்ரம் மனைவி அனுஷ்காவும், நண்பர் கென்னியும் இறந்துவிடுகிறார்கள். விக்ரமிற்கு கண்பார்வை போய்விடுகிறது. கண்பார்வை போனபின்பு இவர்களை எப்படி பலி வாங்குகிறார் என்பதே கதை.

எக்கோ கான்சப்ட் – அதாவது வவ்வால் எப்படி ஒலியெழுப்பி அதை திரும்ப பெறும்போது எதிரிலுள்ள பொருள்களை அறிந்துகொள்கிறதோ அதேபோல் மனிதர்களும் ஒலியெழுப்பி அறிந்துகொள்ள முடியும். கண்பார்வையற்ற விக்ரம் அதை உபயோகித்துத்தான் எல்லோரையும் கொல்கிறார்.

சிறப்புகள்:

விக்ரம் – காசியில் கலக்கிய நடிகனுக்கு கண்பார்வை அற்றவனாக நடிக்கச் சொல்லியா தர வேண்டும்? இதெல்லாம் ஜுஜுபி என்பதுபோல அட்டகாசமாய் நடித்துக்கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்.

அனுஷ்கா – மழையில் நனைந்து அறிமுகமாகும்போதே தியேட்டரில் விசில். விக்ரமை காதலிக்கும் சீன்கள் கவிதை.

சந்தானம் - காமெடி கலக்கல். "போன முறையும் இதே பதிலைத்தானே சொன்னே நீ? போனமுறையும் நீங்க இதே கேள்வியத்தானே கேட்டீங்க, கொஸ்டீன மாத்தி கேளுங்க பதிலை வெரைட்டி வெரைட்டியா கொடுக்கிறேன்" "கூகிள்ல சர்ச் பண்ணாலும் என்ன மாதிரி ஒரு குட்பாய் கிடைக்க மாட்டான்" செம டச்சிங்.

நாசர், எமி ஜாக்சன், லட்சுமிராய், பாஸ்கரின்“மாப்ளே” காமெடி, தம்பி ராமையாவின் “தப்பாச்சே” காமெடி என ஒவ்வொருவரும் தங்கள் பங்கை சிறப்பாகச் செய்திருக்கின்றனர்.

பின்னணி இசை அருமை – “will you be there” மெலடி பாடல் அருமை.

Sony Xperia Tipo Android ICS Phone Launched In India With Price Tag Of Rs. 9999:

                    Sony has launched the ‘Sony Xperia Tipo’ in India, an Android ICS phone for a price tag of Rs. 9999. If you’re looking for a quality smartphone powered by the latest Android 4 operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich, you might just consider the Tipo. You’ll get both single-SIM and dual-SIM variants of the phone and the dual-SIM is priced a little higher at Rs. 10,499. Sony’s Xperia brand has been quite popular among the younger generation because of its built and custom user interface. The phone is compact and gives you a robust-phone feeling while holding the phone in the call position.

Quick Features & Tech Specs Rundown

               The Xperia Tipo is a beautiful looking phone with a 3.2″, scratch proof display. While it’s smaller as compared to most of its competition, we think it’s not a deal breaker. The display is scratch resistant so you don’t have to worry about getting an extra screen-protector for it. Sony mentions that the display is reinforced with scratch-resistant mineral glass. Under the shell, the Tipo offers 800MHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon which is snappy enough for all the regular operations. On the rear side, you’ll have a 3.2 MP camera but we seriously miss the absence of LED flash, which is quite handy while shooting photos indoors or low-light conditions. However, be aware that the current norm for smartphones is 5 MP and we’d not recommend it to anyone who’s serious about the quality of photos. Give it a try on your own before you decide on buying this phone.

              The Xperia Tipo offers 2 GB of internal storage and allows Micro SD card to extend it to about 32 GB. Sony’s teamed up Box cloud storage that offers you free 50 GB free space – which is quite big to store your most important photos. The whole assembly is powered by a 1500 mAh battery which we believe is big enough to last for about 2 days on normal usage of the phone. The overall feature set makes this phone an attractive deal for android ICS phones under Rs. 10,000.

There’s an offer from Vodafone

            Vodafone has promised 500 MB of 3G data with validity up to 3 months. If you’re looking to buy a new connection, you might just consider going with Vodafone; and then switch to your favorite telecom provider once the validity is over via mobile number portability (MNP). The Tipo ships with a number of India centric apps like Bollywood Hungama, Crickbuzz and Dainik Jagaran – for the latest news.

Apple Officially Reveals The iPhone 5:

           And just like that, months and months of breathless speculation have finally come to an end. Apple Phil Schiller has just officially announced the new iPhone 5 at the company massive press event here in San Francisco, less than a year since its predecessor was unveiled.

           Some of the news wont come as much of a shock considering the sheer volume of rumors and leaks lately (even Apple let some details slip earlier today)going to resist the temptation to pontificate on every new feature as its revealed (for now, anyway), so lets get right down to it.

The iPhone 5

             We can finally put the debate to rest Apples newest mobile juggernaut is called the iPhone 5 (despite actually being the sixth iPhone to hit the market). Its 20% lighter than the iPhone 4S, 18% thinner, and crafted out of (what else?) glass and aluminum. Pre-orders for the iPhone 5 will begin on Friday, September 14, and the device will ship to lucky consumers starting on September 21. As usual, the device will be available in 16, 32, and 64GB models, which will cost $199, $299, and $399 respectively with a two-year contract from AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint. The long-rumored (and handsome) two-toned design is indeed legitimate, as is the new iPhones larger 4-inch Retina Display. And yes, that 16:9 display runs at 1136 x 640 with five rows of icons. According to Schiller, its the most accurate display in the industry because the touch sensors are embedded in the display as well. As expected, Apple has also unveiled a brand new chipset for the iPhone 5: the A6, which Schiller says is a full two times faster than the A5 chip in the iPhone 4S The iPhone 4S battery life wasnt anything to write home about, but the iPhone 5 seems equipped to do much better 8 hours of 3G talk time, as well as 8 hours of 3G and LTE web browsing to be precise. The iPhones audio system has been bolstered with a smaller (but improved speaker). There are also now three microphones in the mix: one on the front, one on the back, and another on the bottom. That oft-rumored miniature Dock Connector is real: its all-digital, has eight pins and its called Lightning. Yes, theres an adapter for it, but no word yet on exactly what it will cost you. Connectivity hardly a surprise at this point, but the iPhone 5 packs support for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&Ts LTE networks here in the States. Whats really impressive is that combined that LTE support with 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi onto a single ultra chip. Despite what a handful of leaks pointed to in the weeks leading up to the event, theres been no mention of an integrated NFC chip yet. Camera Smartphone cameras are really starting to give their point-and-shoot brethren a run for their money (think Nokias PureView and HTCs ImageSense tech), but instead of running up the megapixel count, Apple has stuck with an 8-megapixel camera. That said, the backside-illuminated sensor is smaller, and features much better low-light performance (finally!).
App developers may be bummed to know that the camera now also has a built-in panorama mode. The revamped camera also supports 1080p video capture, and users can now snap photos while recording video at the same time. I wonder how HTC feels about that.
