Time to say Goodbye for Trisha-Nayanthara

Merely, Tollywood producers wouldn’t pay an actress a Crore for their best performance but for the more skin shows with micro-mini dresses they wear. Perhaps, Anushka had the fantastic physique of alluring looks as well proved herself to be an extraordinary actress with her recent release ‘Arundhathi’.

Alas! But do you think Nayanthara is on that level? Definitely not, the actress has no idea about a good performance is and her only hopes are brimming with bikinis with a clumsy facial expressions. Not alone her, even we expected a lot that Nayan would somehow make up for the flops delivered in her previous films. Alas! It’s an awful spell by the actress. In Malayalam flicks, the actress has delivered her best performance and she shouldn’t have tried on glamorous grounds.

Wanna hear what women audiences in theatres say while Nayanthara appears on the screens? ‘Why’s so pathetic in her appearance? Does she think herself to be Angelina Jolie? A worst performance with low neck-low hip is all what Nayan means’

It was the same audiences who welcomed the performance of yesteryear Late Actress Silk Smitha. She as the only actress in the history of Tamil Cinema who won the appreciations of men as well as women audiences…

It’s really distressing to see that today’s heroines are not worthy to appear even for a song on the screens. Despites boasting that she has overwhelmed with an extraordinary performance in ‘Abhiyum Naanum’, Trisha wasn’t up to level of mediocre. Trisha kindly watch the performance of Radhika, Revathi or at least Simran and learn something from them…

At the moment, it’s Thamannah who happens to be only actress fit on both homely and glamorous roles. Well, things would be fine if she doesn’t worst offers like ‘Padikadhavan’, where her standard would get lowered. Even if the film wasn’t a hit, her performance in ‘KD’ was laudable.

Finally, it’s all about Tollywood ladies Anushka and Thamannah set to rule Kollywood.

And all that we can say for Trisha, Nayan and Sneha is ‘Bye…Bye… Look out for some other businesses.

Big releases for Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day will have couple of most expected releases making its way on the screens. Till now, Surya starrer Ayan and Siva Manasula Sakthi are slated for releases while other flicks may too accompany them.

Sun Pictures bagging the rights of ‘Ayan’ has taken high initiatives about marketing the film to greater extent than its previous releases. The film directed by KV Anand recently had its audio launch at Sun Studios. 5 songs tuned by Harris Jayaraj are more splendiferous.

On the pars, SMS will have the audio launched on Jan 25 with Yuvan Shankar Raja scoring music. The film Jeeva in a new-dimensioned role of a peppy youngster… Apart from this, the most anticipated Bollywood flick ‘Billu Barber’ remake of Kuselan will release on the same occasion of Feb 11.

Ultimate star Ajith's big moustache

Managing to evade the eyes of his numerous fans, Ajith managed to watch Villu at the Prarthana drive in theater last Sunday. Of course, he was careful enough not to get out of his car at any point of time which would have resulted in a mini mob forming instantaneously. After the movie he called up Vijay and talked about the positives in the movie for a long time. He specially mentioned the stunt scenes and asked Vijay to not get involved in too many risky fights.

Meanwhile, Ajith is also getting himself ready for Asal. He has reportedly gone in for a change in his look and is now sporting an extra large, thick moustache, something he has not tried before. Asal will be directed by Saran. Ajith-Saran's previous movie, Attagasam was a double action flick. This had created some speculation that even Asal would be on the same lines. However, Saran has said that this time round it will be just one Ajith.
