Vishal fizzles & Sameera sizzles in Vedi

See that image on top. This was the scene that (director) Prabhu Deva hoped would guarantee this failed cracker - Vedi - some momentum. Well Vishal grimaces in the scene and the audience by and large had the same expression in the movie.

What else would you expect? Prabhu Deva has taken a strictly below average Telugu flick called Souryam and poured that stale content into a new bottle. And Sun was silly enough (or did they care at all with that alleged 2G money) to repackage this thrash into Tamil.

Vishal fans need not worry. The hero looks tall, dark and handsome. His six-pack abs pack a punch. And Sameera has got the size to titillate Southern audiences. Up North they like it slim you see :-) The story, if you can call it that, is about a cop Prabhakaran (Vishal) and his fight against the villainous Shiyaji Shinde.

If you think Sophie Chaudhury's item number, Sameera's kisses and  Vivek's comedy track are worth your multiplex ticket price, go for it. Otherwise just sit back and chill with Kate Winslet in Mildred Pierce, the rerun of which is being telecast in HBO.

Oh and regarding Vedi, it will come in TV screens in 2012. See it there, free. And save your family a 1000 bucks minimum. But if you are a music buff you might want to download Vijay Antony’s songs. A couple of them are really hummable.

Welcome to the 11kMovie blog

Do you watch movies? Of course yes. How many? Hmmm... How about 11000 - in your life time?  Do the math, assuming a 70-year life span.

Many of us do not realize the enormity of it - we mean watching movies. You, like almost everyone else, watch around 11000 movies in your life time. Well, that's around 2.5 years of sitting in a movie theatre, or in front of a T V screen. Put it another way, entertainment slots itself into the top 5 activities of your life - sleeping, career, driving, and family time being the other four.

We are a bunch of folks who love movies - feature films and soaps, and thrillers and whatever is out there. We love 'em all movies - English, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. So we will tell you which movies, soaps to watch this weekend. And you might ask why should you take our word on "where to have my popcorn"? Fair question

The answer is: we have no axe to grind. Team11KMovies does not expect any ad-revenue or sponsorship from any movie studio or movie producers. So there is no direct commercial agenda. If we like a movie we will tell you. If we do not, we will tell that too - in a brutally honest way. Sounds fair, does it?  If it doesn't well, tap/tab out and move on.

If it does read on
