New Technology

Do you have an inherent sense of style? I always loved dressing up, even as a child. Back in Manali, people often considered my dress sense unique, sometimes outrageous. I think, true style is all about knowing yourself. One should never get carried away by a brand name. Instead, they should focus on understanding what works for them, what mood they are in, what the occasion is, what suits them physically and so on.

Film: 'Newtonin Moondram Vidhi'; Cast: S.J. Suryah, Sayali Bhagat, Rajeev; Music: Vinay; Cinematography: R. Saravanan; Direction: Thaimuthuselvan; Rating: **1/2

'Newtonin Moondram Vidhi', is the Tamil rendering of what is otherwise known as (Sir Isaac) Newton's Third Law (of motion), which states 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.'

In the movie actions are aplenty. It is a simple enough tale of vendetta - a lover's retribution for the murder of his fiancee.

But, what makes the whole thing interesting is the treatment of the subject that accords no moment to the audience to second-guess the script's twists and turns.

A television anchor Priya (Sayali Bhagat) is raped and murdered by her lecherous boss J.P. (Rajeev) on the eve of her marriage to a fashion designer Guru (S.J. Suryah) - completing the original 'action' part.

Narrated in the flashback mode, the proceedings begin with Suryah sporting a grim expression laying a wreath on his girlfriend's grave.

The 'equal and opposite reaction' begins in right earnest when Guru warns J.P. that he will be punished for his crime with a painful death.

The rest of the tale is all about the gory 'execution' of the threat.

Credited with several thriller soaps for television, director Thaimuthuselvan does a commendable job of masterminding cinematographer Saravanan's frightening frames.

Dubbed Tamil filmdom's 'sleaze slob' Suryah seems to have emerged from his self-imposed shadows.

Music director Vinay's apprenticeship under Oscar award winner A.R. Rahman and Harris Jeyaraj seem to have worked wonders.

19 Steps

A.R. Rahman on board 19 Steps?

A.R. Rahman is hot property indeed, and everyone wants a piece of him! After his sweeping victory in Hollywood with his tracks and background score for Slumdog Millionaire, just about everybody wants the Mozart of Madras to score music for them.

Joining that long list of applicants is the offer from Japanese music composer Joe Hisaishi to join him in composing music for the lastest Indo-Jap venture 19 Steps.

The movie already has Indian legend Kamal Haasan on board, and now another is likely to get on board. It is said that Rahman, director Bharat Bala and Disney reps met Joe Hisaishi in Tokyo on April 6 to discuss the film.

Joe has supposedly shown a keen interest to work with Rahman, and it was in fact the prospect of working with him that lured Joe into the venture!
