Jaane Kyoon Jaane Kyoon Jaane... Kyoon

1. What fondness does Perarasu have with the Tamil Nadu map that he names his movies "Thirupachi""Sivakasi""Tirupathi (This was part of old Madras map you see;) )""Dharmapuri"and "Pazhani"...This is actually inspiring other directors to rename their movies.. Balu Mahendra is thinking of rechristening his next art movie Kaanja Komanam as Kumbakonam... Thevaya?

2.Why does majority of Malayalam movies have English Titles, When English itself is spoken like Malayalam.. Semma Dhil paa.. Though I don't follow Hollywood movies much, reading reviews of Mal movies gives me an alpa sandhosham...Englees Padam review padichen macchi types!

3. What fascination does Karan Johar, Rakesh Roshan and Ekta Kapoor have towards K.. It is more than what Madrasis have for 'h' in all names.

4. How does every movie that Raja Sen rubbishes with his reviews on rediff turn out to be a hit?

5. How does every movie of Shankar get released promptly after half a dozen delays?

Dil he Chota Sa.. Choti si Aasha

Though I am not much into material aspirations, having a wishlst is only human
So here goes my top 5 on my wish list for the second half of 2007! This is in no specific order...
1. Himesh Reshamiyya singing an ARR composition.. both of them singing together might be even better... both pushing their nasal strings to unsubdued limits.. one oozing class.. the other oozing.... whatever
2. David Dhawan casting Alok Nath instead of Rajpal Yadav as the spearhead of the comedy brigade in his next venture (heard that Alok Nath beat Kulbushan Karbanda hollow in Great Indian Laughter Challenge 2.5)
3. Shilpa Shetty declining a press meet invite....she now likes all kinds of press. including richard Gere's auto gear one on her cheeks.
4. Narayanamurthy be left alone, and not be dragged into the Presidency race.Manmohan Singh has already proved that being good is not good enough to lead the country.
5. This is a very bold one..Ravi Shastri in the commentary box admitting on air that a post lunch session in a test match is actually inconsequential!
I leave the tougher task of rating the above to you guys..
