Familiar theme
GOOD SAMARITAN Suresh Gopi takes a new avatar as Thalakulaththoor Thampy (do not mind if the name sounds like a tongue twister) in producer L. Vaidynathan's Agninakshatram directed by Karim. It is the story of a little girl Rudra (played ...


Dearth of ideas?
THERE SEEMS to be a real dearth of story ideas in tinseldom. Here comes one more version of the decades old 40 Carats. K. Balachander dealt with it long ago in Apoorva Ragangal that inspired many such movies in other languages ...
Smooth career graph

Music

Chords & Notes
CHAKRI'S MUSIC for this film has a simple appeal without sounding pompous. Starts off with Navvavaiah Babu, a teasing number rendered with full of life and vigour by Kausalya. A very pleasant thing about this album is one gets to hear ...
