Lana Vrz — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:51:48 +0000

If you are familiar with Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood then you probably know that none of their films would be what they are today if there weren’t any scores in them, right? The soundtracks in these films are what keeps you on the edge of the seat, it is what helps you keep track of the drama or the comedy. The roles become believable when backed by the right compositions.

But, since every actor or actress cannot have a voice that is good enough for singing, many of them lip-sync the lyrics while the music is made in post-production with playback singers.

However, there are sometimes exceptions with Tamil actresses that both act and sing at the same time. To show you just how talented these people are, we have made a list of these Tamil stars.

1. Vyjayanthimala

Vyjayanthimala is talented in many aspects of life. She has a beautiful voice, she can act, she can dance and she even creates her own choreography. Vyjayanthimala is truly one in a kind. During the highest moments of her career, she was considered to be one of the best stars on television and was even the highest-paid actress at the time.

Originally, Vyjayanthimala first started her career in Tamil language films such as Jeevitham and Vaazhkai during the 40s and the 50s, but after her fame spread throughout the country, she starred in many Bollywood movies too. Many people from younger generations consider her as a great inspiration.

Vyjayanthimala was born in 1936 and her first appearance on the big screen when she was just thirteen. After her first appearance, she built a career that lasted well over two decades. One of her famous roles has to be in the movie Devdas which was directed by Bimal Roy which is based on the novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.

Sadhna was another hit for Vyjayanthimala which was produced by B. R. Chopra. It follows the life of a prostitute named Rajini (played by Vyjayanthimala) that falls in love with a very intelligent professor.

If you want to hear her voice in songs, check out Honton Mein Aisi Baat Main, Mang Ke Sath Tumhara and Reshmi Salwar. If you are interested in any of these songs, you can listen to them at masstamilan.

2. Remya Nambeesan

Remya Nambeesan made her first appearance in the movie Sayahnam which was in the Malayalam language, but soon after she started appearing in Tamil films too. She has had a twenty-year-long career and has starred in more than 60 movies and has sung over 20 songs. She is considered to be a multi-talent by a lot of people in India.

When she got her role in the Malayalam film Sayahnam she was just 14 years old, but the talent she had was very obvious even at that age. As a child, she took on a lot of minor roles until she finally found a place in Aanachandam, a 2006 Malayalam film which was directed by Jayaraj. It follows the plot of Krishna Prasad (played by Jayaram) who has a huge love for elephants. As a child, he experienced a horrible event where elephants started ravaging across a festival, but once the elephant faced Krishna Prasad, it spared him. This is what inspired his remarkable love towards these animals. Remya Nambeesan plays a supporting role in Aanachandam and helps Krishna throughout his adventure with these animals.

After her breakthrough with Aanachandam, Remya started accepting roles for Tamil movies such as Oru Naal Oru Kanavu, Raman Thediya Seethai, Aattanayagann, Uthamaputhiran, and many others.

But, the truth is that Remya’s passion was focused on something else. In 2012, she started a career as a playback singer for Malayalam and Tamil films too. Our personal favorite Malayalam scores by Remya are Aande Londe, Vijana Surabhi, Maayumee, RAavin Cheruvil while our favorite Tamil score have to be Fy Fy Fy Kalaachify, Pogathe Pogathe, and Hit-u Song.

3. Andrea Jeremiah

Andrea Jeremiah was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and is a great actress, musician, playback singer, and dancer. Her work mostly consists of Malayalam and Tamil motion pictures, but she can also be spotted in several Telugu ones too.

Unlike the other people on this list, Andrea first started her career as a composer and a lyricist and then started transitioning in the film industry.

When Andrea was just eight years old she showed great interest in piano and other key instruments. A few years she joined a junior group of singers which was called Young Stars. This group of talented children is what helped her build her career in music composing.

However, as she got older, she started showing interest in theatrical acting during her college years. She started appearing in stage plays, but she claims that she denied every single offer she got for motion pictures. She had a different plan in life at that time.

She was hired by Gautham Menon to compose a song for his movie Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. After Andrea finished her work for this project, Gautham asked her to be in his next big movie. She accepted the role and Pachaikili Muthucharam was her first breakthrough in this industry. This romantic thriller was a commercial success.

You can also see Andrea Jeremiah in Vada Chennai, Vishawaroopam II, The House Next Door, Aval and many other films. But, if you are interested in her singing talent, check out the scores Google, Nakula, Laila Laila, and Kando Kando.

4. Trisha Krishnan

Trisha is also a famous actress that was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. She is well known for her work in Tamil language movies, but she has also spent some time in Telugu ones too.

Her career in the movie industry first started after she won the Miss Madras beauty contest. Her beauty caught the attention of many directors and producers and quickly got an offer for a role in the film Jodi. She accepted this supporting role which then brought her to a lead role in Mounam Pesiyadhe which was directed by Ameer Sultan.

“(Very) expensive French cinema”, by Eric Neuhoff: an essay-vitriol distinguished by the award of Renaudot

Lana Vrz — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 07:01:44 +0000

With its sharp pen and its dramatic expressions, this booklet draws an obituary of the French Movie theater.

The author, essayist and journalist of the show “The Mask and the Pen” about France Inter, Eric Neuhoff, is a specialist in French cinema. Since winning the Renaudot Prize on Monday, November 4, the presses are fully utilized to print additional copies of (very) expensive French cinema an essay published on September 5, 2019 of Albin Michel was released.

Eric Neuhoff does not die in this 131-page autopsy. He describes a French cinema under perfusion, without zeal and imagination, surviving only through a system of public subsidies that produces works that would otherwise remain a dead letter … and it would not be worse. It’s all about this. In the course of the essay, his author continues to nail: “badly trimmed, not funny comedies, little romances to deceit, it is entitled to anything.” The perfusion, c is that of the Millefeuille of public aid, which goes from the National Film Center to the television channels and traverses the regions. Combine that with directors who have mostly the same background, come from the same schools and go beyond the boundaries of the Paris ring road, only to go to studios in the Czech Republic or Belgium cheaper, and you will have stillborn movies that are barely in the cinemas are visible, with loud flops.

“The French SOS Cinema desperately searches for talent – warning to all patrols – general mobilization is in order.” With Eric Neuhoff, everyone takes their place in this booklet in the form of a nostalgic ode to the cinema of the 1970s: “We really must have a good memory to remember that once the whole world was jealous Our seventh art was just Renoir here, Godard, Melville everywhere.” And he adds with some sense to the formula: “French Cinema: Oxymoron”

The essayistic dezingue actors and directors are utterly unfair and utterly subjective and delight in brats: At the beginning of She is the apathetic Huppert rape at home by a hooded person (…) His case is complete, the attacker disappears when he comes. Reaction of the victim: She reaches for her cell phone to order sushi the other way around the customers of Japanese restaurants. “ Or again: ” Ah, the boldness of Kechiche, the Lelouch class X (…) The parts of the legs in the air create interesting sounds. Is there a plumber in the hall? “

One could still associate his good words, which are on each side, with the note, like the one who complains about the poor film critic, who now turns to the projections about the slaughterhouse Written with a quill that warns more than alive of a Cinephil as it received a huge nostalgic mouth shot of an ancient Akariats resembling Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino, (very) beloved French cinema has received the favor the jurors of the Renaudot Prize.

Cover of “(Very) Dear French Cinema” (1945 Albin Michel)

(Very) Dear French Cinema by Eric Neuhoff, published on the 4th. September 2019 Albin Michel editions, 131 pages, 14 euros.

“You would be more inspired to make better films. Unfortunately, this task seems to be over. The smartest ones get down to the careful biography. In Rodin speaks Vincent Lindon in his beard. It is even less understood than the deputy Jean Lassale. At Papa Garrel, teachers jump on their students in the faculty bathroom. You always look tired (serious inconsistency: you have seen the curriculum of an academic?). The simple fact of putting your hands in the pockets of your duffle coat is enough to exhaust them. The girls live in the maids’ rooms, even though they have not been on the market for years. No Belmondo asks if he can pee in the sink. From time to time one of the figures jumps out the window. It’s relaxing. Related:

France du l

Lana Vrz — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 10:28:34 +0000

” We can still speak in France and that is what I am trying to do with my work and this book. France, you love it or you shut up, but the question is there, because every speech that attacks France, and especially when it comes from certain people, creates a lot of tension. When I write a critical speech about France, my country of birth and residence, I have the impression that I am being observed as someone who attacks France and not as a citizen who wants to improve the common good. Who can criticize France at all? “explains the journalist and feminist Rokhaya Diallo.

Denial of Inequality

” There is a Lack of Openness “] to address our diversity “The concepts are there, but we refuse to address them. France strives for universalism, but in reality the French are not treated equally. This refusal prevents the formulation of a French race question. The United States has the advantage of explicitly doing so and of pointing the finger at the consequences of racism, “says the radio-chronicler

We look at the world, we sold more than we bought, the balance is 1.8 billion euros in 2018 “she adds. It must be remembered that the competition is not always fair. “ There are fakes of champagne, some French manufacturers are resisting the phenomenon with associated labels to safely identify the bottles, and oyster producers are also exposed to counterfeiting.” French decided to label each oyster with a logo to ” Made in France “guarantees to close Florence Griffond.

The creators of the show were Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. We also witnessed a movie of The Last Airbender which was released in 2010 but didn’t go as well as we expected.

What is The Plot of Avatar: The Last Airbender?

We all might know about the plot of The Last Airbender. Many of you for whom the story is long lost would still remember Aang the only Avatar capable of using all the four elements. In simple terms, a bald guy with an arrow on his forehead – everyone remembers him.

In the place where Avatar: The Last Airbender stays is a civilization that is split amongst four nations. The four nations are named as air nomads, earth kingdom, fire nation, and the water tribes.

In every nation there are very few and gifted ‘benders’ who can use the powers of their native elements using the skills of martial arts, telekinesis, and telepathy for their nation’s protection.

Avatar is a gifted child and the only one who can use the power of all the four elements. In the plot, Aang is the latest Avatar of the air nomads. Aang had been sleeping for hundred years in the ‘Avatar State’ and was woken by Katara and Sokka of the water tribes.

Being the only Avatar, Aang with the help of his friends is in a quest to muster the abilities of all the four nations in order to bring peace and harmony amidst all.

The creators of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender have reunited for this amazing project with Netflix. Everyone is thrilled, as The Last Airbender is one of those that are deeply rooted in everyone’s memory.

Piracy Case Settled in $150,000 by The Showbox Owner

Lana Vrz — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 18:11:12 +0000

It has been reported that a consent judgment has been issued by a Hawaii Federal Court against the owner of the Showbox site, several online movie streaming companies have claimed the owner of the Showbox as the culprit.

A group of movie companies have come together and filed a lawsuit against all the operators of several websites that promote and distribute the Showbox app.

Not only Showbox but all the applications that are alike can be accessed by millions of users. The application has a Netflix/Amazon Prime style interface where users can stream movies via torrent or online viewing.

There have been complaints recently also from those behind the movies which are: ‘The Hitman’s Bodygaurd’, ‘London Has Fallen’ and ‘Hunter Killer’. Showbox has been alleged for massive piracy at the U.S. District Court in Hawaii.

The Massive Piracy Case

The original developer is still hidden. Another name that comes into the picture is Pakistani Mohammed Zarlish who promotes and distributes Showbox and alike apps.

Although, Mohammed Zarlish has agreed to pay $150,000 USD to the producers and filmmakers to those who’ve filed the complaint against him.

Mohammed Zarlish’s response to this allegation is that he wasn’t aware of the illegal nature of the Showbox app. Which wasn’t accepted by the judges at the court and a settlement was made.

It was ensured that $150,000 USD was paid to the filmmakers and also that further utility and promotion of such applications are forbidden.

Strict monitoring is being carried out for people like Zarlish.

The filmmakers and producers are on high alert due to the existence of such illegal systems existing on the internet and investigations are in process for the original creators of applications like Showbox and Moviebox.

Conclusion

The U.S. District Court in Hawaii has taken care of the issue by abolishing all such applications such as Popcorn Time, Cinemabox, Terrarium, Mobdro and much more.

As users, it will be wise to support the film industry by standing against piracy and fraud. As such applications are also a reason for other scams that may happen.
