Over the decades, we’ve drunk deep from the Pierian Spring of Sivaji Ganesan movies.

Some of the finest Tamil songs of yesteryear are from movies featuring  Sivaji Ganesan.

They delighted us in the spring of our childhood. They charmed us in the summer of our youth. They comforted us in the autumn of our middle age. They consoled us in the winter of our fading years.

Here are some of our Sivaji Ganesan favorites:

Vandha naal mudhal – Is this the greatest Sivaji song ever? This classic is from the 1960 movie Paava Mannippu.

Yaarukaga indha maligai – We’ve listened to this gem from the 1970s film Vasanta Maligai a million times. And yet we never tire of it.

Unn Kannil neer vazhindhal – T.M.Soundararajan never fails to bring Continue reading »

Delhi 6 Review – A Meaningless Kaleidoscope 

Folks, Delhi 6 has opened to bad reviews.

Is anyone out there surprised that an Abhishek Bachchan movie has opened to poor reviews? We’re sure you all remember the Drona disaster.

Delhi 6 has yet to release in the U.S. but here’s a sample of reviews from Indian newspapers: 

Live Mint

After 2006′s Rang de Basanti, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was feted as the chronicler of Indian dreams and disappointments. A title like that is a big cross to bear, especially when it’s time to make your next film. With Delhi-6, Mehra tries to make another what’s-wrong/right-with-India movie and–god I feel so bad saying this–completely loses the plot.

This time too, like in RDB, he attempts to weave together multiple narratives that you hope will meet in that Crash Bang Climax. Instead, he leaves us wondering What Just Happened.

IndiaTimes:

The movie makes an interesting start as it introduces multiple characters and gets into multi-track storytelling. But soon the characters and the tracks start jumbling up, giving way for continuity lapses Continue reading »
