Kollywood Trends

All Ajith has to do is speak his mind and pass a comment to get wrath of everyone in our home state. Our mindset has become so narrow we cannot even take a simple comment with true spirit.

I read elsewhere that a stuntman filed a compliant on Ajith and his fans, availability of pirated DVD on his latest movie அசல் right after the release of the movie, Ajith not being mentioned in any of the Kalai TV's promo on the grand CM function, demanding unconditional apology from Ajith for his comments, Ajith visiting CM in the last few days and there will be few more in the coming weeks. Why so much hate on one man? God knows what will happen to his upcoming movies? Remember the delays that வேட்டைக்காரன் had to go through, just because Vijay had a casual meet with Rahul Gandhi?

Movies like தமிழ் படம் are good for the Tamil industry, however they are accepted not just because they are good. Producers and directors, though angry, have kept quiet for wrong reasons. Kollywood is slowly playing in to the hands of one family that runs meetings, functions and now movie production. This is a dangerous trend developing in the Tamil movie production. Even AVM had to go through a "process" to have their movies released. Very soon stand alone film producers will become thing of the past.

Nagpur Nadir

Right after the end of fourth day defeat, the team management and the board set up a conference call to discuss the situation.

MS: We are in to the 7th minute of the call and why is everyone quiet. OK, let me start. I can go to public and say this is one off bad test and we will be back for the next test and ask them to be Pepsi cool. But we need help from selectors.

Cheeka: What can I do man, pehale hi bolna chaahiye, if everyone is injured how do I know unless you guys tell us. Yuvi was always injured, but he was always in the team-na?

MS: I never thought I would say this in my life, but why did you guys not pick Dinesh Karthik?

Cheeka: Don't ask me, ask other selectors. Since we already picked Vijay and Badri, I was forced to maintain balance on city, state, region and zonal policies, hence the exclusion.

Ravi: Why not pick 16 or 17 players and send them home after we start the first days play?

Cheeka: Machaan, this is not comm box. If Rohit gets injured five minutes before the start of the test and if team physio could not send actual assessment report on Laxman soon enough, what can we do? I told everyone that we don't need a full strength team for Bangladesh tour, look what happened now.

Modi: Excuse me please. I just wanted to know if Australia is cleared to play IPL in Mumbai next month. (before someone could answer, he gets 2 cell phone calls and he answers both of them simultaneously with one phone on each ear)

Ravi: But why did we pick four fast bowlers when we have always used only 2?

Cheeka: Did you forget what Nagpur board did to our team when Australia was here? Though it was not the first time, they even made Ganguly fall sick right before the start of the test match.

MS: Alright, I will pick team for next test. Dump Saha and bring back Karthik, Kohli and Raina in the line up. Hopefully Yuvi will not be close to 50% fit, otherwise he will play. I promised my bowlers that they will play regardless of winning, losing. Anyways there is not much we can do with the reserves.

Cheeka: Do you also want to talk to the curator @ Eden, just checking.

Ravi: I can take care of PR from the comm box. Just make sure you guys show some fight and spring in the stride.

Pres: I asked for bataata vada, meeting is almost over, still did not get it. What's going on?
