Sagara Sangamam- Confluence of the sea's

Release date: Jan 1st 1983
Star Cast: Kamal Hassan, Jayaprada, Sharath Babu, SP Sailaja
Director: K Viswanath



There are some movies that tend to leave a permanent mark on us. As in other fields, greatness is a virtue gifted easily to people these days. Back in those days one man whom we consider a legendary actor now and a director, who already carved a niche for himself collaborated on a movie called "Sagara Sangamam". Any movie-buff would answer in affirmative if asked about this movie. The viewing experience is such that we would grudge Kamal for being such a genius and feel relieved that we are not him because of the way nature cruelly plays it's part on him

Well even though my taste lies in the jhatka and matka songs which have come to define this decade, the songs of this specific movie never fail to enthrall me. It would be almost sick of me to get into the story details and analysing the acting of the protagonists. Simply said a Telugu speaking person can proudly stand amongst a crowd and say it has been made in his language

My Favorite scenes:

Where Kamal berates SP Sailaja and shows her how to dance in five various dance forms

The entire episode of Kamal getting his pics clicked

The scene preceding 'Thakita Thadimi' song

The entire movie has an underlying tragic tone but then you will feel a part of Kamal's travails in the movie

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

BREAKING NEWS: Allu Arjun and Ravi Teja from Telugu movies make a fleeting appearance in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Doesn't matter that they appear in a TV footage in the movie From the time it was announced that Anil Kapoor would be a part of the Mission Impossible franchise, it was marked as an awaited movie in India. It was widely anticipated that he would play a major role in the movie. Though he serves as a major connecting link in the movie or rather the main reason, why the movie moves to India, he is projected as a lusting billionaire One of the very good things about the movie is its humour content. There are a lot of subtle one-liners by the guy who operates the computer and is the technical guru in the movie. The movie is about an evil mind getting his hand on nuclear warhead and the mission is to stop a full blown war between USA and Russia There are a lot of things that are interlinked in the movie. For example, at the beginning of the mission when it’s sa...

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Ten years ago a young man gave the Hindi film industry a breath of fresh air with his ‘cult’ film Dil Chahta Hai . It was, in all senses a coming of the age movie. That young man now acts in a movie directed by his sister. The movie bears uncanny resemblance to the movie made by the man himself Starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Farhan Akhtar (in the same order as they appear in screen credits), the movie has a lot going for it. The star cast is a major plus and the biggest positive for the movie is the location that it has been shot in- Spain What starts off as a fun trip changes into one where the protagonists confront their fears and in the process we peel the layers of their personalities. Though at some places the movie seems dragged, it does the job of taking you along with the proceedings. The only complaint, if there has to be one, is the fact that the comic track that involves the boys scaring others seems a little forced. All the three actors appear in most of the scen...

High Strung Book review

  Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors were names we knew from the countless tournaments they played and won. For instance, when McEnroe defeated Borg in a five-setter, I didn’t know that it was the first time Borg had lost a five-setter in 14 times. Time and again, he found the resolve to come back from a deficit and plot a Houdini-like escape. So, when he lost that game, something broke within him as well. I have not seen an author, apart from Gideon Haigh, write about his subjects without talking to them. He relied on books on them for his research. He acknowledges the help he got from these books and lists all of them out. When he talks of Bjorn Borg as a Viking god, you might think that this is another one of those books that speaks highly of its subjects. As you keep reading, you also find out that he explores the vulnerabilities of these players without being rude or actually prying on them. He talks in detail about Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Illie ...
