Story hovers around a bike

Story hovers around this bike

A phenomenon in which Bike is generally regarded as the first love, as it is preferably ‘possessed’ soon after a bicycle in the early stages of lifecycle by the youth. Should it be the own money vested, rather than by inheriting it, in buying the dream machine, the sentiments and love in possessing the bike are doubled. It is certainly an icon of pride to own pro-bikes. Thanks to the recent development in Automobile industries those accord part of their revenue in research and development of pro-bikes that can thwart the small segment cars for their power and performance. The power-fever started with Bajaj introducing Pulsar which was pulsated with the Hero-Honda’s Karizma. The charisma for power bikes with different hues and colours are further catapulted with the recent legal introduction of Power bike Yamaha ‘R1’ into the Indian markets, although at a higher side in terms of pricing, would promise to offer a rich experience for iron pumped tattooed biceps. Lately, Kollywood industry has taken its stride in trying to picture the events and consequences of possessing a ‘near power’ bike by a bourgeoisie, in one of the movies in the recent past.

I am no ardent fan of the school boy turned tamil actor, who has earned his niche after having associated with the Tamil Super Star, ‘Sivaji The Boss’ starred, Rajni. As you guessed it right, Danush, in his recent movie ‘Pollathavan’, had depicted the tactual feel of a true bike lover. The movie hovers around a one liner story on ‘how a person tries to recover (secure) his motorcycle from the hands of local hoodlums’.

The movie has indeed emerged at the Top list in the recent Kollywood movies released at its contemporary. The movie at its very scene would seem butcherly and violent, which I would say is a deceived entry for the movie. It would then go over narrating the story with spotlighting Bajaj’s, a rocker star 150cc motorcycle, Pulsar, a sensational biker’s choice among youth in India. Believe it or not, the story is all about this bike. The line-up is so casual that the modus operandi of stolen bike is clearly portrayed as ‘cinéma vérité’ with a special spotlight on Pudupet, an area for stolen automobile spare parts in Chennai. The travails of a bourgeoisie in his attempts to recover his bike by taking extra leap, calling on the ‘Local Don’, at least not to prove their fists, but get the answer to recover his bike is neatly pictured with no inconsequence in its way. Sprucing up to these facts is the sentiment scenes attached with the bike makes the hero run after only for the stolen bike thereby brushing aside police complaints, Insurance cover and the well choreographed sequence.

Most of the encounter scenes with the thugs overarch the real life portrayal in dealing with them. The ‘Hero Identity’ is not misused on instances where the hero encounters the Local Don clique by not taking them over fists, but by admitting that he too is a normal human trying to do away with enragement and fight back. There are no traces of the very fondly made-up ‘Rajni-Factor-illustrated’ like ‘Fly by Fight’, ‘stopping the speeding SUV by holding it on a hand’, which is a good sign for a pragmatic movie.

While this movie is surely a youth-buster, will the Son-in-law’s Pollathavan outwit the Father-in-law’s Pollathavan is time tested!!!

A movie named 'Bourne Ultimatum'

I am no couch potato nor a fanatic in watching English movies. It was sheer insistence from my close friend, that I was constrained to nod on to his concession in calling on Jason Bourne (Is that the proven Identity ?) in his movie Bourne Ultimatum. Thanks to the technological advances that we had booked the tickets online, for a show, that demanded us to be nocturnals. I think I forgot to mention that is was NOT 'TGIF' and was supposed to be the most productive day as acclaimed by experts, 'Wednesday' .

The D- day awaited us with few surprises. I was getting myself readied, while mother nature won't spare us. It was heavily lashing and still we have made up to venture in that havoc. Adding to this, the two wheeler has to be very safely ridden failing which we will be ridden ;-).

It was good that we made up to the venue well in time. We had finished our dinner by then. It looked like people were rushing into the Auditorium to catch the actions. I was reluctantly descending the steps of auditorium to cling onto my seat.

The title of the movie flashed on the silver screens. I was cautiously attentive to grasp the gist of the movie (at least not to its entirety). I was transfixed with the way the cinematography was conceptualized. But though there was something lingering at the back of my mind. I was not able to comprehend some jargons used in the movie. It looked as though others were (pretending) very familiar. So like others, I too dissembled my knowledge and continued watching it. After watching the movie, I presumptuously thought may be I needed to watch more movies to get the nuances right. I strolled around 'Google' to get some more information on the movie. Well, I could then that I have watched a movie that had predecessors which I did not take stock of.

The movie though is not intertwined with previous line-ups, had some continuum carrying forward some jargons and verbiage. This can be brushed aside with the fact that the movie carries its own identity in taking the audience to the bounds of satisfaction, even if they have not witnessed the previous ones. It is a critically acclaimed movie, for a person in finding his identity is almost at the brink of death. Notwithstanding some technical flaws in the movie, of which I could recollect one from Bourne Ultimatum : "The Impala Police car driven by Bourne during the fag end of the movie was shown to perform sudden slides by way of locking the brakes. But the fact is that Impala cars are equipped with ABS.

Bourne fans !!! Don't be misled by the word "Ultimatum" for there might be another sequel on the anvil, as the movie ended as usual with a frill that might subject to propulsion, as with any English movies.

Can it be concluded as a trilogy of Bourne series ?
