No recognition from my industry: Dhanush

"I'm actually blank about it. I'm trying to forget it and concentrate only on my shoot now. It hasn't become real for me. I'm not even taking it seriously," laughs Dhanush.
Being a National Award-winning actor and coming from a well-known film family down South, one would think Rajinikanth's son-in-law didn't need to worry about being recognised. But Dhanush insists on being called an actor first and informs that Kolaveri hasn't really got him recognition. "Nobody from my industry has spoken to me about the song... I haven't got any recognition from my industry," he says, adding, "I'm not a trained singer, I'm just a bathroom singer. I'm an actor first."
The song, which has garnered over nine million hits online, had been trending on Twitter for several days and has even been picturised in a video by Japanese women dancing to it, has undoubtedly become the new-age youth anthem. And Dhanush admits he's extremely flattered. "Now everywhere I go, I'm asked to sing the song. I'm aware of all the videos put up online. It feels nice to see people making their own versions of the song," he says.
The song is part of the Tamil film '3', directed by his wife Aishwarya Rajinikanth Dhanush. So is it tough to act in his wife's film? "No, it's like going to work for any other director. It's only work at workplace; we never mix the two," says Dhanush, revealing that they don't talk about work at home either.
The actor writes poetry and songs like "Kolaveri" in his free time. But his primary aim now is to make his directorial debut in Bollywood. "I have the script ready. I'm not familiar with Hindi as such, but I'm doing my homework. By next year end, I should start making the film," Dhanush signs off.

MAYAKKAM ENNA MOVIE REVIEW

There r few words i want to share..
Its a slow paced movie, from start to end. bt there is nt a single moment which is unnecessary.
According to Selva, its his best.
for dhanush, its his best-est ever..!!!
When he got national award, i wondered.
but now no words to say...mind blowing performance by Dhanush.
If he got a national award for Aadukalam, then he should get it thrice for mayakkam enna
as a friend, as a lover, as a husband, as a maniac.. so many severe moments effectively delivered.
Hatts off to Selva for such a wonderful film.
I hav 2 watch it once more for a detailed analysis.
I liked it more than Aadukalam.

Rating: 4/5
Verdict: commercially, its flop

All praises to Dhanush, Selvaraghavan, Richa Gangopadhyay, G.V.Prakash Kumar

swapna sanchari review

Kamal's" Swapna Sanchari" is not a bad movie. Its a one time watch Good movie. You cant say the theme is fresh. Becoz We have seen similar story lines and similar characters in many other movies. Script writer Gireesh Kumar hasnt gone out of his safe zone and tried anything different. The structure of the sequences has similarities with his previous hit movie "Veruthe Oru Bharya".
Well, about the movie, its about Ajayachandran Nair an NRI, played by Jayaram and how his life changes drastically through various circumstances. Many of the Gulf Malayali's will find this movie a little more interesting, as they might have seen people like Ajayachandran in their real life. Ajayachandran is someone who wants to make it big in life through business. As he was brought up in a very bad financial and social setup he wishes to live an exotic life. After his return to his home land after a highly successful NRI life, he is always bothered about his image and social status. These ego and superiority/inferiority complex leads him to a lot of troubles. Movie doesnt portray Ajayachandran Nair as a totally negative guy. He has a nice side. But his ego makes him a totally different man.
Kamal's direction is good. The screenplay is also smooth. Doesnt lag at any point. The humor in the dialogs were a little less. But the thoughtful dialogs were good. One thing that stood out in "Swapna Sanchari" is Azhagappan's Cinematography.
Performance wise, Jayaram has given his 100% to Ajayachandran Nair. I loved his performance towards the climax, especially combination scenes with Meera Nandan and that final song. Samvritha also did one more memorable worthy character. Innocent, Salim Kumar, Jayaraj Varrier and many others did their roles neatly in the movie. The girl who played the role of Jayaram's daughter wasnt up to the standard.
Overall "Swapna Sanchari" is a typical malayalam movie with family melodrama, social values and some natural fun element. Its a nice one time watch.
