as the numerous modern examples make clear , the musketeer has largely vanished from the battlefield in favor of the pure rifleman . it seems plausible that the trope is now more relevant to the civilian world , where carrying a firearm at the ready is considered unacceptable and any attacks will probably come by surprise . this is becoming more commonly stressed by trainers , who are finally branching out from the old pigeonholes of
shooting
,
martial arts
, etc , and addressing the need for a more well - rounded skillset . this is not uniform , of course , and there are abundant martial arts schools and firearm training ranges that work exclusively with one form of defense or another .
when the cardinal , through his extended and vast network of spies ( one of whom is among the queen ' s ladies - in - waiting ) discovers that the queen has given buckingham the diamond tags , he asks the king to give a fabulous ball and demand that the queen wear the king ' s gift to her : the twelve diamond tags .

but should porthos be mixed - race ? in one sense , sure , why not ? if a black actor such as david harewood , say , can play the ( probably white ) english nobleman sir harry hotspur in the national theatre production of shakespeare ' s king henry iv without critics whining about the historical accuracy ( trickier in fact for a white actor to play othello since the colour of the moor ' s skin is inscribed deep in shakespeare ' s verse ) , surely a mixed - race musketeer isn ' t a stretch .

the queen is terrified when she learns about the ball and hears her husband order her to wear the diamond tags . she knows very well that they are in london , in the possession of the duke of buckingham . meanwhile , the cardinal sends one of his spies — the elegant and beautiful milady — to london ; he instructs her to dance with the duke , snip off at least two of the diamond tags , and return them to the cardinal so that he can use them in a blackmail scheme .

after agreeing to a rendezvous with constance ( which never takes place because she is again abducted by the cardinal ' s men ) , d ' artagnan is told that it is dangerous to remain in paris : the cardinal knows everything that happens in paris ; it will not be long , before he learns about d ' artagnan ' s role in the diamond tag escapade . d ' artagnan therefore decides that this would be a good time to discover what happened to his musketeer friends .

at several points in the film , percussion firearms are seen . the film is set in 1660 . percussion firearms did not appear until the nineteenth century .
while some of the earlier musketeers also carried a sword , which they would draw when closing in for hand - to - hand combat , most rank - and - file soldiers were too poor to own one . instead , before the advent of the bayonet , they would simply wield their musket as a two - handed club by using the heavy stock to crush heads and limbs . after the advent of the bayonet , the basic musketeer fully fit the trope - musketeers armed with one became the standard infantryman and tactical doctrine held that infantry would shoot their muskets while defending against other enemies at range , but brace their bayonets against cavalry and charge with their bayonets to attack ( due to the musket ' s low fire - rate lacking the same morale - breaking power as a horde of men charging at you to stab you ) . the earlier plug bayonet fit the trope even more starkly - troops had to place their bayonet into their musket ' s barrel , preventing them from shooting , making it especially blatant their two main weapons were the musket and bayonet .

the three musketeers do this , though they ' re better known for using swords . since swords were the standard sidearm of the day , most of the book isn ' t spent in line combat , and guns of the day were single - shot weapons , it ' s quite understandable .

like hong kong fight movies ,
the musketeer
makes great use of handy props , folding them into the action scenes . nowhere is this more dramatic ( or ludicrous , depending on your point of view ) than in a final duel between d ' artagnan and febre , which takes place in a warehouse stacked to the ceiling with shelves of big wine barrels . of course to reach the barrels , you need ladders - - lots of ladders , with the two fighters leaping from one to another , walking them across the floor , swinging through space clinging to them , and finally , incredibly , balancing one on a center beam and using it as a teeter - totter for their final showdown . this is harder than it looks .
the star of the show is justin chambers and he gets incidental billing which is ridiculous despite his lack of acting skills . more good and bad news : bad - having a weak lead actor is not the way to have box - office success . stupid dialog doesn ' t help either , along with the rambo action mentality in which the good guy doesn ' t get hit from close range . good - some of the action scenes were spectacular , the best swordplay i ' ve ever seen . the ones at the beginning and the end of the film were the best , with some incredible stunt work . this is beautifully photographed , too . tim roth was a good villain , as usual , and the heroes - even if they couldn ' t act - were fun to watch . the language is tame in here and the film should be rated pg , not pg - 13 .
a gun and a sword ( or other melee weapon ) combo . . . when not used at the same time . typical combination for characters and armies on the advent of gunpowder , the ranged weapon in this case is often more of a throw - away weapon used to down an opponent before closing to meet with the rest . the gun can be a pistol or a rifle just as well - in fact , the musket itself ( which the musketeer is named for ) is a long two - handed gun . this sort of a warrior tend toward the wooden ships and iron men — pirates may even wear a bandolier with several loaded pistols , like real life blackbeard did , in addition to two pistols on his sword belt — and swashbuckler settings , but not limited to them . samurai cowboys need both a revolver and katana , so they apply as well . it can even be more modern and futuristic , up to jedi proficient in both the blaster and the lightsaber .

as the friends head back to war , the cardinal requests to see d’artagnan . even though d’artagnan is afraid he’ll be sentenced to death , he bravely heads to the meeting . he confesses to the cardinal that milady is dead , but since the cardinal was only going to kill d’artagnan as a favor to milady , he changes his mind and gives d’artagnan a commission as a lieutenant in the musketeers .
dumas’ remains , by contrast , were recently transferred with great pompt to the pantheon , the paris mausoleum where france’s greats are interred .
set on the streets of 17th - century paris ,
the musketeers
gives a contemporary take on the classic story about a group of highly trained soldiers and bodyguards assigned to protect king and country .
the highland charge was developed to give scottish armies an edge against better equipped and better trained armies in this way . the enemy line could be broken up and their morale shattered while the scots were just getting started with their new one - handed claymores . against armies who held ranks they tended to get massacred though . in fact , the dreaded highland charge helped lead to the development of the socket bayonet , which unlike the previous plug bayonet , fit over the barrel of the musket and allowed it to shoot and stab all at once . therefore , the english units were able to enter the battle with already fixed bayonets instead of having to equip them while a horde of screaming scotsman with bfs bore down on them . the swords of this period were one - handed light swords similar to a later broadsword . it was certainly not the claymore most people envision when they hear the word . by the 17th century , gunpowder had completely dominated the battlefield and any heavy infantry with armor and a bfs was a relic waiting to be slaughtered . the charge relied on a light targe , a broadsword or dirk , momentum , and a movement which left the english infantry helpless just long enough for them to be cut down .
an earlier chase sequence involves an attempt by febre to capture the coach containing the queen and the comely d . , where d ' artagnan single - handedly holds off the entire force , at one point leaping from the saddle of his galloping horse to the saddle of the horse in front ( harder than it looks ) . and there is an early scene where d ' artagnan is able to support himself between two ceiling beams with pressure from his legs and one arm , while the free arm wields a sword . so much harder than it looks that it borders , i would hazard , on the impossible .

d ' artagnan , a poor but noble young man from gascony , leaves his home to make his fortune in paris ; he is carrying a letter of introduction to his father ' s friend , monsieur de treville , captain of the king ' s musketeers . on the way to paris , d ' artagnan ' s impulsive nature gets him into trouble ; he is beaten and the letter of introduction is taken from him . in paris , he nevertheless is granted an interview with monsieur de treville , and is promised acceptance in the royal academy free of charge , where he can learn fencing , riding , and good manners ; later , with experience , d ' artagnan , can expect to become a musketeer .
in france in 1649 , the services of the four musketeers are needed again and they run into some old foes from 20 years before .
the importance of the author ' s
nègre
– the french term for ghost writer – is explained by claude schopp , france ' s leading dumas expert , in his dictionary of alexandre dumas out next month .
this was to be the start of a hugely fruitful literary partnership . maquis would come up with the plots and historical backdrop and dumas would embellish and expand on the story in his flamboyant style , mr schopp explained .

enter madame bonacieux , who promises that she will find someone to help the queen regain the diamond studs in time for the ball . this someone turns out to be d’artagnan , who’s just tripping all over himself to get in her good graces . he takes his buddies athos , porthos , and aramis to england to retrieve the studs , but one by one each of them is detained on the road . d’artagnan makes it to london alone and meets with the duke . he finds the studs , but two are missing .
to solve the problem , the duke has two new ones whipped up and blocks any ship from leaving england to ensure that the missing studs don’t make it to paris . this , of course , means that he’s declared war on france , but obviously the honor of his beloved is much more important . d’artagnan makes it back to paris in time to save the queen .
when king uther dies and britain faces chaos , merlin presents an unknown named arthur as the new king by birthright , as the late king ' s son , against the ambitious desires of his half - sister , morgan .
a number of units in the dawn of war series are like this , in fact , armed with both a long - range firearm and some form of melee weapon , with the player given the choice to make them use one or the other depending on the situation . they also automatically switch to melee if attacked at that range , which creates quite a headache when crippling overspecialization happens . interestingly , the tau commander has no melee attack , so he flies up , shoots at the ground , and lands , then starts again .
d ' artagnan and the musketeers track her down , accuse her of her many crimes — and execute her . when the entire story is revealed later to the cardinal , he is horrified at the extent of milady ' s evil web of death , and he is extremely impressed with d ' artagnan ' s laudable actions . consequently , he writes out a commission for d ' artagnan to become a lieutenant in the king ' s musketeers . after offering the commission to athos , porthos , and aramis and being refused by all three , d ' artagnan accepts the prestigious commission at the early age of twenty - one .
one day , d ' artagnan ' s elderly landlord , bonacieux , comes to ask him for help ; the landlord ' s young wife , constance , has been kidnapped — probably by the cardinal ' s men because she is the queen ' s linen maid and knows many of the queen ' s secrets , secrets which the cardinal desperately wants revealed so that he can discredit the queen , who earlier rejected his romantic advances . d ' artagnan is able to rescue madame bonacieux from her abductors and , while doing so , falls in love with her . later , when he inadvertently sees her cross a bridge with a strange man , he stops them and discovers that the man is an english nobleman , the duke of buckingham , the queen ' s secret lover ; being an englishman , the man is also an enemy of france . that night , the queen gives the duke an elegant gift of twelve diamond tags in a rosewood box .
next , let ' s meet the three musketeers . aramis is a good fighter and an accomplished ladies ' man…but he vows he will give it all up soon and join the priesthood . porthos is a loyal friend and a fierce fighter . he likes to brag about the women he has enjoyed over the years , but most of it is just talk . athos , who is also the comte de la fère , is the oldest and most accomplished of the musketeers . his life was ruined by milady , and he has had trust issues ever since .
metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty plays with this a lot . raiden uses guns for most of the game , but is able to quickly master using a katana near the end . likewise , solidus snake , the game ' s big bad , prefers to fight dual wielding but is capable of using the p90 .
when d ' artagnan reaches london , he reports the situation to buckingham , who discovers in horror that two of the tags are missing . immediately , he calls in his personal jeweler and instructs him to work furiously in order to make exact copies . he gives the copies to d ' artagnan , along with the remaining ten tags , and a superb , prearranged series of horses that will take d ' artagnan from london to paris in twelve hours . thus , the queen is able to appear in what seems to be all twelve of the diamond tags — to the utter astonishment of the cardinal . for d ' artagnan ' s heroic efforts , the queen secretly presents him with a large , magnificent diamond ring .
the history is not the point , and neither is the story . both exist only to supply excuses for a series of action sequences , which steal the show to such an extent that if you like martial arts scenes you ' ll admire this movie , and if you don ' t , you won ' t .
the relationship between dumas , an ogre - like philanderer , and maquet , a plain , family man is also the subject of l ' autre dumas ( the other dumas ) , a film starring gérard depardieu out on wednesday in france .
his name would remain forever off the famous works . but he had one form of posthumous recognition : on his tombstone in paris ' père - lachaise cemetery are engraved the three musketeers , the count of monte cristo and la reine margot .
nikolai dante is this , thanks to the bio blades afforded to him by his weapons crest and his huntsman 5000 rifle . to the same extent , several other characters are this , due to tactics having regressed somewhat over the last few centuries .

before d ' artagnan and the musketeers leave in their separate regiments for the siege , the king becomes ill , and d ' artagnan ' s group moves out first , leaving the musketeers behind for the time being to await the king . d ' artagnan is lonesome for his friends and , one day , he wanders off alone — not a wise decision , because he is fired at by two of milady ' s hired assassions . later , during a dangerous mission that d ' artagnan is leading , the same two assassins again try to kill him . when this attempt fails , milady decides to have some poisoned wine delivered to d ' artagnan - compliments of
the three musketeers .
d ' artagnan does not realize that the wine is poisoned , and he is so busy talking that he fails to drink the wine immediately . instead , another soldier drinks the wine — and falls dead .

take off your shirt
belinda mcclory ( born november 1 , 1968 ) is an australian actress who played switch in the matrix .
he saw her on the tv , cast her to star in his movie – and now he’s married her . belinda mcclory tells how the writer / director of redball , john hewitt , found her . andrew l . urban reports .
ginnane has decided to bring ozploitation back to oz , in a remake directed and written by jon hewitt with co - writer belinda mcclory . mcclory , who is best known as an actor for her work in film ( t he matrix ) , tv and on stage , also stars in turkey shoot as meredith baxter , a tv executive desperate for ratings .
belinda’s first professional job as an actor was at the age of 14 opposite geoffrey rush and john wood in jim sharman’s production of sunrise for the sa theatre company .
belinda mcclory was born in 1968 in adelaide , south australia , australia . she is an actress and writer , known for the matrix ( 1999 ) , x ( 2011 ) and mullet ( 2001 ) . she has been married to jon hewitt since january 30 , 1999 .
with mcclory in the limo were husband hewitt , and matrix co - star hugo weaving with his partner kirsty .
belinda has also written and script edited numerous feature films and was the recipient of the seaborn - walford - foundation award for the screen adaptation of patrick white’s “the eye of the storm” .
hewitt didn’t realise then that mcclory was the daughter of a cop and knew all about police lives being shattered by the work .
john hewitt was watching janus , the police drama series on abc , back then in 1994 , and was struck by belinda mcclory’s on screen presence and her overall acting skills . effortless , natural , vulnerable , sensitive , strong…his mind ticking off the qualities . he set about writing the screenplay for his intended ‘police revenge fantasy’ redball , with belinda playing the central role of homicide detective jj wilson . she was to portray a frustrated detective – one of several – who is hamstrung in her efforts to bring a criminal – a child killer - to justice .
now , five years later , with the film releasing ( finally ) and being launched internationally at the 1999 cannes film festival , mcclory and hewitt are married , and have spent two of their eight married weeks in america , specifically for the premiere of the matrix , in which mcclory plays switch , a revolutionary in the company of morpheus ( laurence fishburne ) .
we are sitting in one of the smallest cafes in east sydney , a new place with about eight small tables shuffled into a wedge shape space adjacent to a tiny kitchen . mcclory is still jet lagged and tired from the los angeles trip , which included a side - trip to las vegas so they could reenact their wedding in the ‘elvis’ chapel . for fun . mcclory orders chicken done in green tea and i go for the cold rare roast beef salad .
it was a bit scary ,
says mcclory of the west hollywood premiere .
i hadn’t been warned how vocal the american audiences can get…when we got out of the limo there were a couple of thousand people and they just screamed !
and that’s why mcclory is concerned that the film is upsetting some police ( particularly the victorian police ) with its brutal honesty about police procedures , the temptations and the ugly side of law enforcement .
i did it for other motives – and john wrote it as a revenge fantasy for cops ; he loves the police .
the contrast between these two films in which mcclory appears could not be greater . redball is a low budget thriller shot over a few weekends in melbourne ; the actors had to turn up in their own clothes and they got paid late . the matrix is a big budget sci fi action drama with hundreds of special effects , shot over five months in sydney .
mcclory thrived on working with hewitt ( but she hastens to add that it was not an on - set affair .
i was very irish about it – i didn’t sleep with him until a year later…
) .
it was great – john let us do what we felt ; the camera just followed us . it was very free and organic , to coin a wanky phrase .
mcclory thinks she has been naïve about this ;
i thought people would see it on a human level , perhaps with some understanding of what these people go through . they have to shut off half of themselves to do the work . i never expected the film to be seen as an indictment . and i though the police would at least privately acknowledge the struggle involved in dealing with the job… .
but that freedom clearly worked for mcclory ( indeed , all the cast ) because her performance is sensational .
at the time ,
she says matter of factly ,
i knew i was doing something but i didn’t know what that was . it wasn’t until i saw the finished film that i realised i was doing a good job .
she says this with no sign of self - aggrendisement , but clearly some pride .
adjusting to married life , mcclory and hewitt have also teamed up professionally – as writers . they are working on several projects , but one that stands out is called grim .
john is writing this one on his own . we’re hoping to shoot it later this year . it’s a one take movie , shot in two hours over one weekend . it’ll take a lot of co - ordination but i think it can be done .
mcclory overcomes her jet lag and talks amicably , occasionally animated by the subject ; no doubt about it , she has an emotional investment in her role and in the film .
look , at 30 , i am very happy to be doing this kind of role . there aren’t many scripts with big female roles like this . here is a detective doing her job – and i want people to be clear that she’s cracking up not because she’s a chick but because of the work .
hewitt gathered a lot of his material like many writers do – just living his life . he once worked in a melbourne pub where the major crime squad gathers to drink and unwind .
he heard their stories , and there is also stuff that comes from the papers . but what doesn’t come across in the papers ,
says mcclory ,
is the cops’ humanity . we both love cops – so much so ,
she says ,
i took a role in blue heelers as a good cop just to show the victorian police i was an actress – i could play good cop , too .
my father was a cop until i was 12 ,
she says .
he was in plain clothes cib…he adored the job but it changed him and he brought that home . no - one but police understand it…it made him an insomniac and an alcoholic . our home was violent… . because police carry around the horror perpetually . you can’t not be effected by what you see every day . that’s why this character of jj wilson appealed to me .

set in a dystopian future where a group of people in a prison camp are forced to hunt and kill each other . produced by
we asked her a few questions about the remake , which is currently in limited theatrical release .
i first watched turkey shoot in the late ’90s . it was a great introduction to ozploitation . since meeting my husband jon hewitt , my cinema palette has become decidedly more catholic . he’s introduced me to a much more diverse range of genres , ozploitation being one of them . the original turkey shoot is a little dated now , but still a guilty pleasure !
when tony ginnane approached us to remake one of his old movies , we trawled his back - catalogue and narrowed it down to turkey shoot and thirst . we already have our own vampire project ( avampyr ) in development , so we chose turkey shoot .
simplistically , i think the lone person stepping up and making a difference / changing the world story is a direct response to a world constantly at war . people feel smaller and less connected in the world , our technology is running us ragged 24 / 7 . people are tired and want change , that’s why the hero / survivor stories are so strong at the moment . it’s cinematic political fantasy .
this is the fourth screenplay i’ve co - written that has been produced – darklovestory , x , turkey shoot and acolytes ( uncredited ) . since making redball in 1996 , jon and i have written maybe 20 screenplays together . not all of them see the light of day !
writing is always a challenge , but collaboration helps me overcome the tyranny of the blank page . writing with jon is always fun . sure we fight sometimes , but that only pushes the work into a rigorous , more detailed place – we keep each other on our toes .
having confidence in the strength of your material in the face of the constant evaluation and intervention that is script development ; whilst also being open to the good ideas that come with it .
you can’t do either on your own , film just involves a lot more people . in the theatre , a production could involve 50 people in order to tell a story . on the matrix it was over 400 ! at script level on turkey shoot we were lucky enough to work with hollywood script editor sheila hanahan taylor . her knowledge and insights into the action / adventure genre were invaluable to us . i feel very lucky to have worked with her – she loves genre and was tough but fair !
i’ve always believed that a film script is a blueprint for something else , and if you choose your fellow storytellers well , it’s exciting and exhilarating to see it transform in a way that is sometimes beyond your wildest dreams . you’re only as good as the people you work with . i think in theatre the emphasis is very much on the spoken word , it’s central with images or stage pictures assisting audience imagination , whereas there’s so much more in the toy box in film than the script to tell the story . don’t get me wrong – a film script has to be rich and detailed and completely water - tight , but it doesn’t have to be king .
your films as an actor have included the matrix and redball – action / violence films - but this is a long way from your more rarified theatre work . is that a conscious choice ?
i don’t think so . i’m attracted to strong , interesting female roles period . regardless of the medium , i enjoy playing women with dramatic story arcs ( hopefully with a dark side ) that also embrace some sort of social commentary . i have been extremely lucky in the diversity of work that has presented itself over the years . and i haven’t been afraid to say no .
i don’t . in fact i’ve never been attracted to the action / adventure genre , bond and bourne and the original mad max aside – which is why i agreed to do turkey shoot . it was a challenge to try and write in this style , to inject great female roles and a social conscience into a male - oriented genre that is usually just content to kick ass and blow shit up .
we didn’t want to do an homage to campy schlock which a straight remake would have been , but the central story trope of humans hunting humans for entertainment has a long history in the action / adventure genre – most dangerous game , running man , battle royale , etc . a major influence for me was a reality tv show i saw on us television whose subject was child cage fighting . it was like the voice , but instead of singing , these children were literally fighting each other to get into the next round . it was so disturbing and macabre . i thought , how far can this go ? where are we going as a society when this is entertainment ? the premise in turkey shoot is simply an extension of that – live death on tv for ratings supremacy .
i think audiences are as adventurous now as they were 30 years ago , it’s just mainstream filmmaking that has become more conservative . could last tango in paris be made today ? also , the way audiences consume movies is completely different now – challenging and adventurous films ( including most non - english language films ) are mostly experienced outside of a traditional cinema release these days .
you’ve got to remember what your target audience wants and deliver it in a fast moving and entertaining way . but that doesn’t stop you from sneaking - in a rich and challenging sub - text . we wanted to make a serpentine thriller that had some meat on it’s bones .
the fabulous thing about my work is that one thing sort of leads into another . acting is my first love , i’ve been working professionally since i was 14 and hopefully i will always find some sort of work , especially in the theatre . but jon and i continue to work on our own film projects and i do enjoy script editing too . i have just been approached to write and direct a short film that will be part of an all - female horror anthology . if i throw enough mud , hopefully some of it will stick ! i want to do it all .

in 2002 , subbu acted in a film directed by agathiyan ,
kadhal samrajyam
, as one of its lead actors , however , after the release of the soundtrack , the film was shelved and was never released .
it seems to be a season of
boys
 both young and not so young ( don ' t forget
panchathanthiram
) . p . a . art productions is all set for its
kadhal samrajyam
.
kadhal samrajyam is a 2002 tamil action - romance film , directed by agathiyan and produced by subbu . this film stars aravind akash , anjana , spb charan , yugendran , santhoshi , venkat prabhu , goutham in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by yuvan shankar raja with lyrics by agathiyan .
development regarding the film ' s script commenced in the polladhavan
( 1980 ) and from mammootty ' s looks in the malayalam film
samrajyam
( 1990 ) .
it was garments everywhere . one could see a group of girls stitching clothes in a section , while another was engaged in needlework . one is referring to the scene of p . a . art production ' s ` ` kadal samrajyam . ' ' it was a garment unit in velachery . the film is full of youth . but it is not the usual storyline one comes across , says director agathiyan , who also has taken care of the screenplay and dialogue . he has woven the story with a dance school as the backdrop . that explains the presence of gautham . ` ` for the first time i am writing all the seven songs . prasanthi , a malaysian girl , has sung a song . gangai amaran ' s son venkat prabhu , malaysia vasudevan ' s son yugendran and s . p . balasubramanian ' s son charan have jointly sung a song and have also acted for it . i feel that people will sit up and take notice at yuvan shanker raja after this film ,
says the director . ` ` after three and a half years i am coming back to the tamil scene and it is a re - entry for me . ' '
after
red
it will be
raja
. this time round the female leads for the ajit starrer are jotika and priyanka trivedi . after
poovellam un vaasam
,
raja
brings jo and ajit together . and it is ezhil who is at the helm again . ezhil ' s directorial debut began very successfully with
thulladha manamum thullum
, that starred vijay and simran . though ezhil also did
pennin manadhai thottu
and
poovellam . . .
he has opted for the same technical team that worked with him in his maiden venture , for
raja
. it means
raja
s composer will be s . a . rajkumar once again . probably the box office bonanza that
thulladha . . .
offered made ezhil opt for the same crew all over again . and
raja
promises to be an action and emotion packed fare from the ajit - ezhil duo .
parthiban knows the art of doing different things . . . differently . so when music critic subbudu gave the nod to play the role of a critic in parthiban ' s
ivan
, the film made news .
ivan
is now much talked about for another unique feature  the film has nearly 20 villains ! name a
villain
and he is there in
ivan
. yet surprisingly
ivan
, that stars parthiban , soundarya and meena , is neither a complete action film nor does it have more than a couple of fights ! then strange should be the ways of villainy in
ivan
. the proposition could prove interesting . the hero is a do - gooder and a motivating force , they say  of course , that ' s nothing different .
it looks as if we ' ll never see the last of our cinematic
goddesses
. the next
amman
to enter the fray is actress meena as
padai veetu amman
. but the making of the film lends some interesting insights . vinu chakravarthy is a sorcerer who tries to quell the power of the deity , in the film . the actor refused the role straightway  devi being his family deity .
the makers refused to relent and vinu chakravarthy sought the permission of his spiritual guru before accepting the role . and again not without condition  the actor in the face and form of vinu chakravarthy should not be shown decrying the goddess , even if it is only in acting .
the director did not have to worry at all . the graphics obsession has paved the way for many a fantasy . so with the help of efx graphics , they intend to change the appearance of the
magician
every time he indulges in an act against the deity .
it is agathiyan who will wield the megaphone for this comedy venture , which has an impressive array of sons of famous fathers ( malaysia vasudevan , s . p . balasubramaniam , gangai amaran and ` major ' sunderrajan )  yugendran , s . p . b . charan , venkat prabhu and goutham  talented youngsters who deserve a break . aravind is another hero . the female interests of the film are television artiste santhoshi and anjana from mumbai . may the best boys and girls win .
when vijay turned star , many existing shows were shown the way out . few escaped the axe  maximum media ' s
apoorva raagangal
was one . and not without reason . with innovation as the key , the brain behind the project , subhashri thanikachalam , had conceived a novel way of presenting light music shows .
leading playback singers were roped in to croon with the fresh talents . so naturally for every young singer who got a chance , it was a dream come true ! as some of the winners , gurucharan , ranjith , mahathi and srivardhini said , it was the experience of a lifetime .
now a new
apoorva . . .
show , revamped and refurbished , comes to your homes , every sunday , from 10 to 11 a . m . the earlier concept and manner of execution continue , but the setting , the duration , the number of rounds and most importantly , the anchor , are different . yugendran , the singer , is the presenter  his casual approach , sense of humour and music acumen should add pep to
apoorva . . .
. in fact , vijay ' s programming head , suresh iyer wanted the name of the show changed too  but subhashri was reluctant .
naturally . . . after all
apoorva raagangal
has carved a niche for itself as a name to reckon with in the light music scenario on television . so the changed version is a case of old wine all right . . . but the new bottle does look enticing !

the last month or so has not been a good time for tamil music fans . we ' ve been given subpar work by even the greats like ilayaraja and a . r . rahman , and it ' s been quite a long time since i ' ve heard a good tamil album i could get into . the last good album was
hey ! nee romba alagaa irukka
and it ' s been a while since that came out .
being a yuvan shankar raja fan , i was pinning all my hopes on ysr to produce the next good album .
thankfully , he does not disappoint , and we have some very nice songs for his new album . this is not a classic album , and it won ' t go down in history as the best , but it ' ll bring my attention back to tamil music from hindi music ( i ' ve been listening to
mera yaar ki shaadi hai
' s superlative soundtrack in recent days ) .
oh yes - - starring in this film are spb charan , yugendran , and a couple of other singers . that ' s one major hype - mark for this movie . we ' ve had dance masters become heroes ; next directors are becoming heroes ; and now singers are becoming heroes .
melodious music , melodious singing , and good lyrics . the more i listen to this song , the more i discover to like . it ' s a great song of first love , and a great way to start off the soundtrack . balram is fantastic , proving his mettle after
paarthaalae paravasam .
gopika poornima has a great voice as well . both singers have done very well . i ' m liking this song quite a bit . between a very nice and an excellent .
we have a youth song sung with excitement by shankar mahadevan . the lyrics are the usual youth song lyrics , though there are some funny lines here and there (
ava paesum english - a kaettukko / puriyaatti thalaiyai mattum aattikko !
) the beat is very fast and very good , and i ' d like to see this song picturized . it ' s a youth song , but with a great beat , and god help me , despite the lyrics , i like this song ( especially the chorus instrumental ! ) very nice .
spb and sujatha , who have been singing duets from since before i was even born , continue with a pretty good love song . the music isn ' t as modern and as nice as the other songs , and the lyrics aren ' t that great , either , making this song a step down from the previous songs , but it ' s still pretty good . nice .
aha . what a beautiful song . karthik , who ' s been given the dumbest songs to sing in other films , here melodiously sings a beautiful sad song with excellent music and excellent lyrics . this is just a beautiful song and the best on the album . i simply love it . the instruments used are excellent , the singing is excellent , the lyrics are excellent . excellent .
at first listen , this song begged to be labeled the worst song on the album . but it ' ll grow on you . the music will grow on you and chitra sivaraman ' s singing will grow on you . the lyrics - - not that great - - do provide a few insights as to what the story of this film is going to be about ( i ' m not optimistic - -
vidinjaakka kalaanam / moonu paeru maappillai
doesn ' t seem like the best plot - line , but we ' ll see ) . maybe the worst song on the album , but in a good album like this , that ' s not a bad thing . nice .
wow . another great song . the music is just innovative and different . the singing is appropriate and beautiful . the lyrics are pretty good . this is not the kind of song for everyone , but i like it a great deal . spb charan does quite well . excellent .
remember the
wayawayaho
song from
i love you daa
? this song reminded me of that quite a great deal . here ' s a youth song from the female point of view . pretty good youth music , pretty good singing , but the problem lies with the lyrics . ( does
naan chicken soup
really mean anything ? ) this is a good song to listen to , but the lyrics kind of bring it down a little . between a nice and a very nice .
an okay instrumental , except for the fact that i don ' t really see its point of being . why include it at all ? it ' s not really that great an instrumental . it ' s all right . nothing great . nice .
