'Sillunu Oru Kaadhal' a lucky pair
Post Ghajini, Suriya emerged as sought-after hero in Kollywood. His salability has increased considerably. His forthcoming release Jillunu Oru Kaadhal, being produced by his cousin Gnanavelu is ready for release (As it happens, the title has been changed to Sillunu Oru Kaadhal to be in true Tamil). The movie has won favor among the distributors. All the areas have been sold out. Directed by a debutant Krishna, expectations are high on the movie. Bringing together the lucky pair, Jothika and Suriya, the movie also has Bhoomika in a prominent role. Another highlight is the movie has musical score by A R Rehman. More over the recent rumors about Suriya and Jothika's have added pep to the movie and the distributors feel it would result in more audience thronging the theatres. Supposedly a romantic story, the movie features Suriya in a different appearance, more bubbly and enthusiastic. Suriya has spoken very highly of Rehman's music that the audio industry is waiting for its release. A lucky pair, indeed.
Sillunu Oru Kaadhal completes a cool century
Suriya should be thanking his stars now. He not only managed to hold hands with his beloved Jyothika this year, the movie Sillunu Oru Kaadhal featuring Suriya and Jyothika has successfully completed a 100-day run all across the State today. The movie produced by Studio Green was a mature love story. The timing of Sillunu Oru Kaadhal's release was also very apt. It released coinciding with the wedding of the two stars. Director Krishna took a typical triangular love story and woven an interesting tapestry using the diverse strands of romance and affection. The success should be attributed to the director who managed to get the fine print right - the everyday detail between a husband and wife, their anger, frustrations, their love, the quaint ebb and flow of their emotions. He was also spot on in painting a very attractive canvas of youthful, college-campus dalliance between Suriya and Bhumika. The movie had the backing of a team of experts - A R Rahman in music, Antony in editing and Rajasekhar in camera. Krishna is a happy and contended man now. He is happy with his effort. Amidst gangster films with bloodshed, he wanted to differentiate himself from other directors. And he did it. Krishna has made a beginning with a bang. More responsibility is on his shoulders to continue the good run.
