As promised during the promotion of the film, Gautham's 'Neethaane En Ponvasantham' (NEP) could very well be anyone's love story. But, sadly, why will anyone want to revisit his or her love story if it's filled with fewer heartwarming moments and mostly egoistic clashes and blame games? 'NEP' definitely deserves some appreciation for successfully mirroring modern-day love-and-hate relationships. Sadly, though, it fails to engage the audience with its cliched presentation....

'Maranthen Mannithen' is the Tamil version of Telugu film 'Gundello Godari', which has music by maestro Illayaraja. Although the maestro satisfies with the soundtrack, sadly one may feel the lack of innovation in the composition as the veteran resorts to recomposing two of his old songs in the film. The album has seven songs featuring the voices of Illayaraja, Andrea, Rahul, Sri Vardhini, Bhavatharini, Mano, Anitha, NS Ramya and Geethamadhuri....

Devi Sri Prasad is an electrifying performer on-stage. But what gave him immense joy while performing on the dais on October 29 was because he did it on the invitation of Maestro Illayaraja, one of his idols.

'Gundello Godari', which is slated for a November release, is an ambitious bilingual project. Produced by Lakshmi Manchu, it is talked about for its theme, the ensemble cast and Maestro Illayaraja's music. Taapsee Pannu hopes that the film will give her the image of a Telugu girl. If 'Jhummandi Naadam' and later releases portrayed her as a glamorous heroine, she is playing a traditional girl's role in it. Sundeep Kishan,...
