It has been creating a hype since two years back when the shotting started. Now that it has been released, i hear that the theaters are running full house for the next whole week already. And am sure its gonna continue at least coming month. The movie is released world wide in more than 3000 theaters. Endhiran is being screened at Coliseum, the biggest theater in Europe. Usually English films are screened here and with in the past 10 years Endhiran is the first Indian movie to be screened at the Coliseum. They say that the movie is being screened 600 times a day in theaters in Chennai city alone.

You might have seen crazy fans of young dazzling pop stars or even movie stars, but can you think about a man in his 60′s who has an entourage of millions, not just supporting him but worshiping. Yes, you heard it right, literally worshipping like a God.

His stardom aging 35 yrs has never shown any signs of aging to the characters he has done. All those characters stay young in the hearts of the people. His earthly age has never stopped him from doing a character that might look impossible to someone of his age. The character of a Robot, in his latest movie ‘Endhiran, The Robot‘ is a very good example for this. There is no reason why he should not have a long tail of fans from all walks of life and in all age group, that is his charisma and his style.

This picture is not that of one of the characters he has enacted. This is the normal way how he looks, when he is away from his busy shooting life. One might be surprised to know that he is the most paid actor in Asia after Jackie Chan. That is what i would say professionalism is. His glamorous looks and his breath taking way of dialog delivery has earned him the name ‘Style Mannan’ which means King of Style. Anyone who has experienced it would agree that he is worthy of the title. And thats how he has gained tens of thousands of fans across the seas.

There wont be many who has not enjoyed rain. On a sizzling hot summer day, its rain what we wish for. It not only cools down the earth but also each and everyones mind. Every person enjoys rain in one way or the other- be it be a kid who runs out in the rain or a grown up person who likes to have a hot cup of tea or a nap under a warm blanket when its pouring outside.

Rain has inspired a lot of film makers, music composers and lyricists of India. They have proved that rain can portray a variety of moods and emotions.

This song is from the album Colonial Cousins, brought out by Indian duo, comprising one of the versatile singers of India, Hariharan and singer-composer Leslie Lewis. Though its a fusion of Indian classical and Western music. you may find it nostalgic.

This song from the movie Guru, along with the the beautiful visualization of the lush green fields and the waterfalls of the God’s Own Country, Kerala and the beauty of former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, will take you to a different world of aura and serenity. That is the artistic talent of the famous director Mani Ratnam. Composed by the musical genius A.R. Rahman hit the hearts of millions through the voice of Shreya Ghosal. The lyrics was written by Gulzar

If you have not ever felt how crucial could the rain be for a whole society check this song. People awaiting the mercy of the rain gods so that they get a high yield of crops to pay the heavy taxes imposed on them by the British rule. This song from the Movie Lagaan, portrays the emotion of the people of a village praying to the rain clouds to pour. This song provides a persona of diverse culture and tradition of India.

The story of the Oscar nominated movie, for the best foreign language film, has been told in an unusual way. The British officer imposes thrice the, already heavy, tax paid by the farmers. The only way to get out of this ridiculous situation is a cricket match between the English team and the farmers who don’t even know the game.

This song by Pakistani singer Adnan Sami, was successful in carrying the sweetness of love to the deepest part of ones heart, blended with the drizzling rain.

I have always heard from friends from across the globe that Indian movies are very colorful. And it’s true to the core. Here are some music videos that are not only pleasant to your ears but also soothing to your eyes.

This song is from the movie Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna which tells the story about two married individuals- a guy and a girl- whose marriages are a failure. They happen to come together and fall in love. They find new dimensions of life. They begin to realize the colors of life that seemed like hiding from them all these years.

This beautiful song from the movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham brings to you one of the most fascinating wonders of the world- The Pyramid of Egypt- You might not have realized before whether land, water or the sky could be so beautiful.

We might have seen the color of maples leaves or the mesmerizing blue of the sky. How about the hot red chillies? In this song from the movie, Alaipayuthey, Mani Ratnam, one of the most felicitated directors of contemporary Indian cinema, has successfully brought out the true colors of nature.

Music has no barriers or may be it has the power to overcome all barriers. Thats why we, as a world, listen to A.R. Rahman to Michael Jackson to K’naan. All great men and women of music has made us willfully choose to be a part of an entourage.

At the point, i remember my friend and critic Rachel, for her boundless inspiration, that has helped me realize this blog. I am planning to share with you the music that has touched me in a variety of themes. Hope you will like it and will bring out a good difference in your busy life. Your comments and constructive criticisms are highly appreciated.

P.S: the last part doesn’t apply to you Rachel lol
