warner bros . released “p . t . 109” in 1963 with cliff robertson starring as kennedy . it was the first commercial theatrical film about a president released while he was still in office .
kennedy swam over two miles to two other islands in search of help and food , then led his men to olasana island , which had coconut trees and drinkable water , before they were rescued . he and his shipmates engaged friendly locals and after scrawling an sos on a coconut , they were finally located by rescuers .
frank borzage teams dick powell , ruby keeler & ross alexander for another uniform musical following their less then spectacular academy nominated flirtation walk ( 1934 ) . the positive is that the musical aspect feels less forced for this one . powell gets to be the showman he is even if he once again is forced into a mans job by fatherly persuasions from lewis stone . shipmates forever is a slow film where we watch the navy kill everything dick powell is and make him a lesser man while we ' re supposed to think that ' s a good thing .

too much coo - cooing around while trying to take a few scenes serious . the sentimentality doesn ' t exactly sink in that way , but it ' s humorous when it doesn ' t take itself too seriously . robert montgomery was likable , and ernest torrence eventually gets here too . add cliff edwards and you ' re in for a fun time !

the year is 1944 and a very cold moonless night of april 27th . . . with the worlds greatest allied offensive against the enemy on main land europe fast approaching . six weeks before d . day and counting . . . the pressure and logistics of organising such a massive operation caused errors and mistakes on such a tragic scale . it led to many hundreds of young servicemen sadly loosing their lives by the early hours of april 28th 1944 in what should have been safe and protected waters around britain ' s coast .

“baby driver” star ansel elgort has signed on to play john f . kennedy in the drama “mayday 109 , ” based on the 1943 sinking of kennedy’s pt boat during world war ii .
the project has been in development since 2015 , when beau flynn and basil iwanyk acquired a script by samuel franco and evan kilgore . kent kubena and taylor zea will oversee for thunder road and scott sheldon will oversee for flynn picture co . no director is yet attached .
kennedy was the commander of patrol torpedo boat pt 109 in the south pacific when it was rammed by a japanese destroyer amagin , killing two crewmen . with the crew presumed dead by allies , kennedy led the 11 survivors in swimming to a deserted island , where the crew had to hide from passing japanese barges .
flynn’s producing credits include “san andreas , ” “hercules” and “hansel and gretel : witch hunter . ” iwanyk produced “the town , ” “sicario” and “john wick . ”

funny ( or maybe more interesting ) to think that back when this made , it was to sell the idea of being in the navi . the idea of being dehumanized and turned into a militarized officer was so appealing back then i guess - strange , strange days .
more of a boring ass drama than a musical , it also gets fairly melodramatic in places and not in a good way .
full of patriotic spirit , this one will have you in tears at the end .

i like 30s comedies and i like 30s musicals , but this is tedious fare , mixing a life on the ocean wave with family shenanigans and musical interludes .
it features wallace lupino , stodgy john garrick , and goggle - eyed frank atkinson as a silly new father . trouble is , the story is stodgy and uninteresting , and the surviving print is in shocking shape , like looking through a dirty smeared window .
a sappy disgraced sea captain story . the singing distractions are easily the highlight . some laughs from the comic relief , but the main story just doesn ' t engage .

the question of legitimate authority — and the related question of what , in this fragmentary country , democracy might look like — hovers over the other two sections of “iraq in fragments , ” which deal with militant shiite followers of moktada al - sadr in nasiriya and najaf , and then with kurds living in a village outside of erbil .

since “iraq in fragments” was finished , the fragmenting of iraq appears to have accelerated , but the film is not easily summarized as a text of hope or a brief for despair . it is instead an invitation to look again and afresh at a country many americans may be tired of thinking about , and to be reminded of the complicated human reality underneath the politics .
arriving in theaters today after being shown at several festivals , including sundance , “iraq in fragments” feels both timely and prophetic , given the current levels of sectarian violence . but even as mr . longley glimpses the sources of that division , he does so in a way that is remarkably contemplative , at times even serene . that is partly because his narration is supplied by iraqis who use their conversations with him to reflect and philosophize .

ames longley ' s outstanding documentary - portrait of ordinary lives in post - invasion iraq has a structure and procedure that imitate its underlying political point : iraq is fragmented . broadly speaking , there are three fragments , and this is a reality with which the political classes here and in the united states are becoming acquainted . in the centre : the sunnis , from which group saddam and his followers sprang . in the south : the shias , depicted by longley as the centre of a retributive new militancy . in the north : the kurds , who welcomed the american and british military action as the antidote to their oppression - and still do so . boldly , longley ' s film gives the kurds the final voice , and the overall effect is far from boilerplate anti - americanism .

i really liked the time - speeded sequence of the train leaving southern iraq and then we lurch into fast motion , the perspective switches from looking backward to looking forward , and we zip across the country in a few seconds into northern iraq , where longly hooks up with a kurdish family . i just found a speed manipulation tutorial on ken stone’s final cut site that explains in detail , complete with project files , how to do this effect in final cut pro 7 .
behind the heroic tale of the first us soldier to die in the iraq war , emerges the story of a one - time guatemalan street child , drawn into battle as a greencarded soldier for a foreign country .
the title seems to refer as much to the filmmaker’s method as to the content of his film , which is lyrical and impressionistic . rather than focus on the experiences of american soldiers , as did michael tucker and petra epperlein in “gunner palace , ” or follow the expanding shelf of books that discuss the background and consequences of american military policy , “iraq in fragments” dwells in the hectic immediacy of daily life . from 300 hours of material , mr . longley has created a collage of images , sounds and characters , an intimate , partial portrait of an unraveling nation — a portrait that gains power partly by virtue of its incompleteness .

it ' s exhilarating , at first , to feel oneself immersed in these lives . what emerges , though , is a moving portrait of the many and tangled human implications of the invasion . in baghdad , mohammed struggles with his school work as us helicopters low - fly overhead and says
everything is scary now ,
; but kurdish farmers in the north breathe easier with saddam gone . meanwhile , inhabitants of naserijah fear the islamist followers of sadr will constitute a new oppression . iraq in fragments is a timely reminder that after all the talk of dodgy dossiers , death tolls , and exit strategies , there remains only the fact of daily life for ordinary iraqis , and their attempts to live it as best they can .
300 hours of material was filmed in iraq over a period of more than two years for this production . 1600 pages of typed transcripts , translations of material from arabic and kurdish , were made before picture and sound editing could begin .

the film examines the everyday lives of iraqi citizens in a country torn by political and ethnic differences , including an 11 - year - old auto mechanic , an elderly farmer and a leader of the shiite religious / political movement headed by muqtada al - sadr . longley , an oregon native who grew up in the san juan islands , captured more than 300 hours of footage in iraq , between february 2003 and april 2005 .

what’s incredible about this oscar - nominated film is that it appears to have been made almost singlehandedly by a lone white guy , james longly . he was born in eugene , oregon , but apparently hasn’t spent much time there over the past several years . instead , he’s been living in places like iraq ( where he spent 2 years making this film ) ; iran ( where he was arrested during the election last year ) , and he’s currently doing more of the same in pakistan .
but in the end , my mind kept going back again and again to that small boy in baghdad , who is at first trusting and accepting , and then coldly angry about what life has given him . with discretion and subtlety , longley has created a narrative for the child without it seeming artificial or absurd . this alienated , orphaned figure becomes a metonym for iraq , a tragically divided nation .
in a series of stunningly filmed sequences , longley and his camera seek out the real lives outside the frame of conventional tv news , and he succeeds in creating both compelling journalism and superb images . in baghdad , he finds a heartbreakingly lonely 11 - year - old orphan , apprenticed to a tough garage owner who has taken him in . this man appears at first to be affectionate to the boy in his rough and ready way , and the child ' s hesitant voiceover pays a kind of cowed tribute to how kind he is ; and yet soon the man is cuffing him and shouting at him , and in the course of the film , the boy ' s feelings become something altogether different . in baghdad , in the cafes and streetcorners , the cynical talk is of how things were actually better under saddam - although these sentiments may have been disproportionately amplified .

mr . longley , who captured the images in this haunting , oblique film during trips to iraq between february 2003 and april of last year , offers no ready answer to that question or any other . his is not the kind of documentary that presents an analysis or argues , even implicitly , for a particular point of view .
the first thing that struck me , as a filmmaker , about this extraordinary film is the way the opening sequence was shot – in fragments – by simply pointing the camera out of a vehicle traveling down the street with a fast shutter speed of maybe 250 / second , which gives you a stuttering sequence of still frames strung together . it’s a technique popularized by hollywood films like saving private ryan and traffic , and it works extremely well here to show that we’re entering a chaotic world .
in beautifully shot , almost poetic images , it takes us inside this fractured country , letting us feel what its like from the inside from three points of view - - sunni , shiite and kurd . . . . a fascinating glimpse of an iraq the mass media never shows us , the movie is a quiet revelation .
- - david ansen , newsweek
in seattle . this film has three parts to it which describe the viewpoints of sunni , shi ' ite , and kurdish residents .
a former american boxer now exiled in bangkok , is forced to confront his violent past after meeting a mysterious fight fan from his hometown .
where it won three awards :
directing award documentary
,
editing award documentary
and
excellence in cinematography award documentary
.
there are a lot of very briefly held , beautiful , almost still shots edited in liberally throughout the film . it reminded me that you don’t have to always be thinking in terms of sequence – just shoot something pretty even if it’s a couple seconds – you can find a place for it in editing . also , he uses whip pans really effectively as a transition at once point , panning quickly away from a child’s face and holding the blurry transition until dropping in the next clip . whip - panning off someone’s face is a dramatic and powerful way to initiate a transition , and you don’t have to come to a sudden and precise stop on something else within the camera for it to be extremely useable in editing .
the first section of the film focuses on mohammed , an 11 - year - old boy who lives in a working - class sunni neighborhood in baghdad , where he is employed by a mechanic whose main activities seem to be smoking cigarettes , talking politics and humiliating his young helper . at first glance the relationship between mohammed and his boss , a father figure whom the boy seems to love in spite of the mistreatment , has little evident connection to the larger situation in the country . but mohammed’s fearful , adoring attitude toward his employer comes to seem like a miniature parable of life under a dictatorship .
chechen
godfather
khozh - ahmed noukhaev makes for a fascinating and charismatic ( if troubling ) subject in this documentary about the complicated politics of the region .
there’s a shot early on in the film that i won’t forget for a long time : a sketchy street seen through a fish tank in which a pair of breathtakingly orange goldfish are floating . the contrast is unbelievable . it’s just an incredible shot that , if you got it , it has to go in the film . reminded me that no matter where you are , keep your eyes open for things that don’t to fit within the paradigm of everything else you’re keying on .
) has a flair for cinematography and editing and a poetic sensibility that informs both these talents . he ' s also responsible for this film ' s music . but the most significant credits for this examination of iraqi sunnis , shiites , and kurds may be the dozen translators listed . ( “the future of iraq will be in three parts , ” says one kurd . “how can you cut a country into three parts ? ” asks another . ) much as emile de antonio ' s neglected
portrays the problems of postwar iraq solely as a consequence of the invasion - but gives no historical context of what iraq was like before 2003 . by highlighting the mistakes of the us occupation the film becomes an anti - war polemic - at the price of being historically thorough and offering real insight into the country ' s current situation .
this
, viewers are meant to conclude ,
is what the invasion led to - terrorism , sectarian hatred , constant fear and misery .
the cruelty of saddam ' s regime is dismissed as irrelevant , as if there were no link between totalitarian rule and the strife that has followed .
after such chaos , the kurdish region looks downright pastoral , though there is a scene of voting - day chaos in which police scuffle with some voters , while poll workers patiently tell others which party to vote for . although everyone in the film expresses a desire for normalcy and peace , the kurds seem closer to achieving it than their fellow citizens .
the most significant filmmaker take - away from this film is that it’s possible to include interviews in your film without including interviews . i’ll explain . in the first two - thirds of the film , at no point does the voice of the person being interviewed match with an interview happening on screen . yet , we’re often seeing the person who is talking – only in different ( but frequently related ) situations . for example , the first person we get to know in the film is a young boy , who works for an abusive boss at a small car and motorbike repair shop . we hear the boy’s voice for a long time before we actually meet the boy , and when we meet him , it’s not in an interview context . he’s essentially giving us a voice - driven commentary about how awful his boss is , while at the same time we’re actually seeing how awful his boss is .
longly doesn’t hide the fact that the huge pillar of black , boiling smoke rising in the background of many of the scenes in the final third of the film is actually coming from a foundry , rather than from the result of war violence . but it works as a great metaphor . so does the snowball fight that he films , again with fast shutter speed .
not a moment from these sunni , shiite and kurdish daily lives is familiar from u . s . news programs , and it ' s all eye - opening .

cinema politica is the largest campus and community based documentary screening network in the world . we are a montreal - based non - profit media arts organization dedicated to the dissemination of independent political works by canadian and international filmmakers .
i about fell over when i saw basil shadid’s name come up in the credits as the post - production supervisor on this film . i know basil from having hired him to film the second bizjam conference we did a few years ago . more recently , he earned an additional camera credit on shine for filming interviews at the may 6 event . nice work basil ! i’m proud to know someone who played a role in making this incredible film .
james nachtwey , a committed , shy man , considered one of the bravest and most important war photographers of our time , has been close enough for over 20 years - a period in which he has not missed a single war .
wow . what a film ; it portrays the consequences of the iraq war at the level of ordinary , everyday life for the people and , especially , for small children . we americans probably will not want to view this film . why would we , it will just make us feel stupid and ashamed of ourselves . thankfully , the film was made anyway . watch it , learn from it , be wary the next time .
. . . a one - man production of startling audacity and aesthetic provocation . . . . if longley ' s astonishing feat of poetic agitation has a precedent in the entire history of documentary , i ' m not aware of it .
- - rob nelson , the village voice
in the south , the shias are electrified by the historic opportunity that has opened up for them , and vigorously prosecute their new islamic revolution ; we see them loudly declaiming the great satan uncle sam and brutally arresting people on suspicion of selling alcohol , a suspicion that does not appear to have much relation to due process of law . these people appear drunk with righteousness , and again , the dark talk is of a rampant new saddam - ism . then there is a gentle , pious kurdish man who sadly reflects that his people ' s religious identity has left them out of step with the fierce new flame of anger burning elsewhere in the country .
this is an extremely effective way to include interviews without forcing the audience to sit through predictable visuals . they are actually seeing what happens next at the same time as hearing what they need to hear to flesh out the story details . it’s brilliant . it’s a seamless combination of cinema verite with traditional documentary storytelling , and in this film at least , it’s effect is spellbinding . it doesn’t hurt that the kid is mostly silent through these ordeals , so there’s room for us to hear him explaining things . but the technique also works pretty well in part 2 of the film , when longly manages to get himself embedded with muqtada al sadr’s militia during a tense period when most us journalists were getting embedded with us troops .
approaching the film from this angle , i did find what felt like profound and refreshing moments of pure objectivity . longely highlights the confusion that results from many shifting pillars of leadership vying for a vacant office and amorphous regime , as well as how the turmoil effects once - hopeful and ambitious youths , causing them to turn away from education in exchange for seemingly more immediate needs .
directed by james longley ; in arabic and kurdish , with english subtitles ; director of photography , mr . longley ; edited by billy mcmillin , fiona otway and mr . longley ; music by mr . longley ; produced by john sinno and mr . longley ; released by typecast releasing and hbo documentary films . at film forum , 209 west houston street , west of avenue of the americas , south village . running time : 94 minutes . this film is not rated .
even the credit roll of this film is worth mentioning . credits rolled out from right to left – rather than the traditional bottom to top – which is the same way people in the arab world read . james longly’s name entered the screen like an arrow , dragging all of the key roles behind him , carving a solitary path through the black screen and pulling the rest of the crew , which contain a raft of translators behind him . how the hell do you make a film like this with everything filtered through translaters ?
there is no grand editorialising , here ; instead , longley lets his subjects tell their own stories . so we so follow 11 - year - old mohammed into work at a mechanic ' s garage , where the owner , haithem , says the us invaders are motivated only by oil . we ride with armed islamists in naseriyah as they purge alcohol sellers from the local market , and organise local elections meant to push out us - appointed officials . and we live with a rural kurdish father who dreams of peace and hopes his son might become a doctor .

it is a superbly made film , pessimistic but not simplistic . longley ' s footage of baghdad streetlife is outstanding : he seems to capture stunning images everywhere he looks , just by pointing the camera , a dozen scorching pictures every minute , rendered hyper - real on high - definition video . it looks like an imaginary landscape from some impossibly violent and traumatised futureworld , from which the director reports back with something other than the tv newsman ' s redundant rhetoric of sensation or forced compassion .

longly used a panasonic dvx 100 while making this film , the standard - definition precursor to the panasonic hvx 200 ( which we used to shoot virtually all of shine ) . the highlights are frequently blown out , and it lacks hd clarity , and there’s a lot of mic handling noise during some of the militia scenes . but none of that matters a bit , because the story is so damn compelling . the film is a solid reminder that the story and the person behind the camera is always more important than the equipment .
i found myself wondering if longly used a glidecam or something like a steadicam merlin for some of his traveling shots . they weren’t rock steady , but they were smoother than i could have hand held .
i really liked the brief time - disolve of the school teacher herding students down the hall . it’s a great way to convey time passing slowly for the child throughout the school day . and you don’t have to do a lot of these to call attention to them – i thought this was truly judicious use of these techniques which can otherwise call a lot of attention to their use .

chatrak was screened at film festivals like the prestigious directors ' fortnight in the 2011 cannes film festival , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] the 2011 toronto international film festival and the pacific meridian film festival in vladivostok , russia . [ 5 ]
these days , directors and heroes never tire of saying that their film is different . before chatrapathy ' s release both sarath kumar and director sri mahesh said that the movie had a unique treatment .
s a rajkumar is as usual pedestrian . produced by baburaja , chatrapathy , directed by sri mahesh , has nothing much to offer . you can go to this film if you like the popcorn in the theater .

2 . the plaintiff / applicant is a renowned producer and distributor , having name and fame in film industry and has produced many cinematographic films and also a distributor of films . the plaintiff produced a tamil feature film titled
nan avan illai
, after securing the rights from the creator and producer mr . k . balachander and dr . kamala selvaraj under the agreement dated 30 . 11 . 2006 and released the film in tamil on 20 . 04 . 2007 , starring jeevan , nameetha , malavika , sneha , keerthi chawla , jothimayi , which was directed by selva . the film proved to be a super - duper hit .
the hollywood reporter commented on mushrooms that ,
the film ' s abstract naturalism does create an austere portrait of a crass and careless human society but any larger meaning gets lost amid the film ' s many non - events and preening nihilism .
[ 6 ] the variety review noted the
extremely slow - burning story
, saying ,
. . . the main element uniting jayasundara ' s plot strands is a sense of torpor . . .
[ 7 ] a review in the online film magazine notebook praised the film , noting that it artistically portrays
. . . cinematic dreams and nightmares , visible intuitions of the world around , visual understanding of what corruption of the society and corruption of the soul can do .
[ 8 ] sight & sound of the british film institute praised it , stating
disconcerting though the plot may at least initially be , the film has its wild as well as some comic moments that soon win the viewer over .
[ 9 ]
7 . where however the question is of the violation of the copyright of stage play by a film producer or a director the task of the plaintiff becomes more difficult to prove piracy . it is manifest that unlike a stage play a film has a much broader prospective , a wider field and a bigger background where the defendants can by introducing a variety of incidents give a colour and complexion different from the manner in which the copyrighted work has expressed the idea . even so , if the viewer after seeing the film gets a totality of impression that the film is by and large a copy of the original play , violation of the copyright may be said to be proved .

the actress married noted telugu film director krishna vamsi on 12 june 2003 and has since then settled in hyderabad . she gave birth to a boy , named ritwik on 13 february 2005 .
ladies vs ricky bahl the crux of this film revolves around denial of his identity by one man the crux of this film revolves around a con man who never denies his identity but gets a kick out of continuing the con act . in fact , he even confesses in a particular scene that he is a con man , and has a ring back tone that suggests this .
6 . the defendants have filed counter raising objection that the suit is not maintainable , as the suit for copy right infringement can only be maintained upon showing of actual infringement and not on the basis of conjectures and surmises . the stand in the counter is that the suit does not disclose any cause of action and the suit has been filed on the basis of promos of the film to come to the conclusion that the film is based on the plaintiff ' s film . it is the case pleaded in the counter that the does not disclose what copy right protection have been infringed .
the police is not ever in the picture in this film , and there is no delving at all into the background of ricky bahl and what prompted him to resort to a life of conning .
normally today ' s film start with a formula opening but super good films '
chatrapathi
presented by jj good films has a different opening and this makes the viewers get absorbed in the film right from the first frame . sarath kumar as the driver of a college bus is soft and calm . but one is sure that the character will certainly turn fiery the minute his true self is revealed . the screenplay takes you to a different situation .
4 . the further case of the plaintiff is that he was shocked and surprised to see the promos in tv and advertisement of the defendants ' forth coming film
ladies v / s ricky bahl
. the case of the plaintiff is that the very promos itself reveals that the said film is nothing but a remake of the plaintiff ' s film
nan avan illai
in tamil and
woh main nahi
in hindi .
ladies v / s ricky bahl
. it is pleaded case of the plaintiff that it has been reliably learnt that the story pattern , sequences , narration and other incidents are similar to the plaintiff ' s copy right version films and that the defendants were attempting to release the film
ladies v / s ricky bahl
on 09 . 12 . 2011 to get unjust enrichment , which will cause heavy loss to the plaintiff and would amount to infringement of the copy right .
the core of the film is the courtroom drama where the main male lead character is caught and is presented in front of the women he has married there is no court room drama and the lead male character does not get caught .
the characterisation of the hero in this movie is as a con man with no physical desire for the women he cons , but he is not shown using might ( no action sequences at all in the film ) or doing charitable activities .
chatrapathy movie tells the story of saravanan ( sarathkumar ) who works as the bus driver for a ladies college and nikitha , one of the college students , has fallen for him . when four goondas belonging to a caste - based political party get off easy after causing the death of a young woman , saravanan takes justice into his own hands and kills them . eventually we learn of his past as chatrapathi , a decorated major in the army and the reason behind his enmity with chakravarthy ( mahadevan ) , the leader of the same political party .
13 . it is also pleaded case of the defendants that the plaintiff in the garb of suit for copyright is claiming the absolute monopoly over any story line where a main cheats one or more women using his charm , which is a common enough them and there cannot be any copyright protection over its theme . reliance of this pleading is placed on the hon ' ble supreme court in the case of r . g . anand vs . m / s . delux films , air 1978 sc 1613 and also judgment of this court in chatrapathy shanmugham vs . s . rangarajan , s . a . no . 114 of 2004 , decided on 28 . 09 . 2011 , laying down that there is no copyright protection for themes , plots and story lines . the protection is only for the expression and this is in copyright theory known as the idea - expression dichotomy . it was due to this reason that on the same story line , number of films / plays has been made in several languages .
director jayasundara admitted that there are several versions of chatrak , and some do not contain the sex scene . he also admitted that he was surprised to witness negative feedback due to the inclusion of such sex scene in his film . [ 12 ]
with venkatesh is a very big hit in the tollywood . atleast the next 5 or 6 she acted with the alltime great telugu ( tollywood ) actors megastar chiranjeevi , nandamuri bala krishna , akkineni nagarjuna and ofcourse her first film with victory venkatesh .
11 . it is pleaded case that in order to succeed , the plaintiff is required to show that literary work alleged to have been infringed must have been reproduced verbatim or substantially , resulting in an impression in the minds of the viewers that the original and the reproduction are the same . it is also pleaded case that there is no averment that any actual copy right or script of the original tamil film has been copied . it is also stand of the defendants / non applicants that the plaintiff is guilty of suppression of various material facts and that the plaintiff ' s film
nan avan illai
as well as the earlier film
nan avan illai ( 1974 )
are based on a marathi play titled
toh mee navhech
authored by acharya prahlad keshav atre , therefore , in absence of plaintiff , showing how the makers of the original film had obtained from acharya prahlad keshav atre in the literary work being script of the play titled
toh mee nahvech
and the present suit is not maintainable .
16 . that defendant no . 1 has invested rs . 28 crores in making and marketing the film and various third party rights , including satellite , extra - terrestrial rights , overseas theatrical rights , vcd / dvd rights have been created and in case any injunction is granted , it would cause irreparable loss to the defendants . it is also the case that no evidence has been led to show the attempts made by the plaintiff to remake the film in hindi . on facts , the averments made in the plaint are denied .
the film has love , sentiment , and heroism as the title suggests . the dialogue is crisp and director srimahesh who makes his debut is also in charge of story , screenplay and dialogue . he should have worked a little more , mainly in the second half .
21 . learned counsel for the applicant referred to the assignment agreement dated 30 . 11 . 2006 with regard to tamil , telugu & kannada re - make & dubbing rights of
naan avan illai
. he also referred to the assignment deed with regard to the film
woh main nahi
, to assert that the plaintiff has absolute copyright to maintain the film . it was vehemently contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that number of situations shown in the movies are identical , which shows that the applicant is entitled to injunction prayed for .
ramyakrishna ' s first telugu film was bhalae mithrulu . kasinadhuni viswanath’s masterpiece suthradharulu , released in 1987 have given first major break to ramya as a actress . under the direction of k . raghavendra rao , and she acted with all best actors in telugu like balakrishna , chiru , venkatesh , nagarjuna .
15 . the plea is that the contention raised includes serious complicated question of fact , which can be gone into at the time of trial and not at the stage of interim injunction . it is also the stand in the counter that underlying them of the film
ladies v / s ricky bahl
is the original idea conceptualized by mr . aditya chopra , who is a story and script writer of this film , which is an independent creation , thus , it is pleaded that there is no prima facie case in favour of the plaintiff / applicant . reliance is placed on the judgment of the hon ' ble delhi high court in the case of biswaroop roy choudhary vs . karan johan , 2006 ( 33 ) ptc 381 , holding therein that when the defendant has completed the production of the film and is ready to release it for commercial exploitation is a factor , which would always deter the court from granting injuctory relief .
everything you want to know about aarti agarwal , aarti agarwal photos , aarti agarwal wallpapers , aarti agarwal latest film news , reviews , aarti agarwal videos , aarti agarwal filmography , aarti agarwal sexy photo galleries , biography . . . . . . and much more about this beauty queen of tollywoodaarti agarwal hot sexy pictures - wallpapers , photos .
the film is full so many gaping holes and logic - less ideas that you feel like screaming ' enough ' . the screenplay is something like that has been filched from kindergarten student ' s rough note . a major portion of the movie reminds one of vijayakanth ' s ramana , the rest is more on the shades of rajnikanth ' s baba .
14 . that a case of infringement cannot be made out unless upon showing of substantial similarity between the original work and the allegedly infringing work . the plaintiff has failed to show any such similarity . it is also pleaded that contrary to popular notion , the art of writing a script is highly structured with emphasis on a few key points . as a thumb rule , in the initial portions of the script will be found the hook , being that part of the script that grabs the attention of the viewer and pull him into the film . this is followed by the
mini crisis
and leading into the
dilemma
. dilemma is followed by the reaction to the dilemma , then the
first reversal
, at which point the characters are drawn deeper into the dilemma , the
tent pole
where passive characters become active or vice versa , the
second reversal
where it is reaffirmed as to what the story is all about , and finally the low point of action , being the place from where the main character has to rise up . even to arrive at a finding of prima facie infringement , an expert comparison between the script of the original work and the script of the allegedly infringing work is a prerequisite . if there are considerable dissimilarities between each of these ingredients as found in the original , and the allegedly infringing work , then there is no question of infringement even on a prima facie basis . this also explains why it is imperative that the plaintiff should have filed before this hon ' ble court the script of its tamil film
naan avan illai
and the hindi film
woh main nahi
. the plaintiff is disentitled from demanding that the defendant may preview its film without the plaintiff first coming out clean with the script of its film . the nuances of the plaintiff ' s script are absolutely essential when undertaking a comparison between the two works .
31 . consequently , no other conclusion than the one that the applicant / plaintiff has failed to make out prima facie case , can be arrived at . the applicant / plaintiff , in the event of success finally , can always claim damages , therefore , the balance of convenience is certainly in favour of the defendants / non applicants , as he has already produced the film and is ready for release .
ramya krishnan was born in a tamil brahmin iyer family in madras now chennai . she had initial training in bharathanatyam and kuchipudi dance forms , and had given many stage performances . ramya started her acting career at the age of 13 and has an acting career spanning over 25 years . she first played the lead role in vellai manasu in tamil opposite y . g . mahendran . she was studying in 8th standard when she acted in her first film .
shriya broke into movies with a telugu movie ishtam in 2001 . though the movie was not a success , the industry noticed her . this was followed by the 2002 film santosham with nagarjuna , which did extremely well . the other two films released the same year nuvve nuvve and chennakeshava reddy also did well . she got the opportunity to work with some of the major stars and came out with several hits like tagore ( 2003 ) and chatrapati ( 2005 ) .
17 . the basic stand is that there is no violation of copyright and that there is no similarities between two movies . it is also case that there is no violation of copyright in the cinematographic film under section 14 ( d ) r / w section 51 of the copyright act , 1957 , being not a remake . thus , it is asserted in the counter that the plaintiff has neither prima facie case nor balance of convenience is in favour of the plaintiff .
her tamil film padayappa ( narasimha in telugu ) , has brought her recognition and fame not only in south india but also internationally in japan , singapore , london and paris . her role ( neelambari ) in padayappa was perhaps the best role of her career and disproved her critics who said that she was a mere glam doll . recently she has given performance in some stage shows in new york , dallas , san jose , and cincinnati along with nagarjuna and tabu .
and when you see the film , the only thing that is different is the new low of absurdity that the movie has plunged . the liberties they have taken with facts , especially relating to military affairs , is baffling . in these days of information overflow , how can filmmakers show siachen glacier as luxuriantly green grassed ? just because the hero has to be shown as all - conquering , the director has gone to the extent of showing the hero as a one - man army .
some action scenes were picturised on srikanth , jasper and some stuntmen at a factory in ennore . it took eight days to shoot the scene involving 23 stunt artistes , it was choreographed by stunt master peter hayen . srikanth , for the role of a commando , had trained under major ravi , who supervised the army scenes . some of the locations for the film are chennai , thalakolam , bangalore , delhi and kerala . two of the songs have been picturised in russia .

( vijaya lakshmi ) is an indian film actress . she has acted in over 100 south indian films and also in bollywood films . she had done several successful films in telugu , tamil , malayalam , hindi , kannada , bengali and bhojpuri films . she paired up with popular heroes like chiranjeevi , rajnikanth , salman khan , anil kapoor , akshay kumar , ajay devgan , sunil shetty , kamal hassan , govinda etc . she appeared as a judge in kalaingar tv ' s maanada mayilada .
aarti agarwal is a bubbly girl . she did two films with tarun which did well on the box office . however , some rumours began with her affair with her costar tarun . because of this , on march23 , 2005 , aarti agarwal attempted suicide by drinking bathroom cleaning liquid . however , it is not a serious one . aarti discharged from the apollo hospital ( hyderabad ) on the same day . again , on february 15 , 2006 , aarti agarwal fell down climbing the stairs while she was coming back from dinner to her apartment . her father , took her to the hospital the next day and she underwent surgery in banjara hills ( hyderabad ) . aarti agarwal have one younger sister . her name is adithi agarwal , she also did a few films in the tollywood . her first film was ' gangotri ' with the stylish tollywood film actor ' allu arjun ' . agarwal was married to ujjwal kumar at secunderabad on 22 november 2007 and had subsequently applied for divorce in october 2009 and announced her re - entry into tollywood .
of a ticket . enjoy ! ” the trade feels mass director hari’s family , action formula film seval with bharath turning into an action hero may emerge as the dark horse when it releases on the festival day ( oct 27 ) . they point out how hari’s last diwali release with surya — vel , after a slow start went on to become the diwali hit of 2007 . if the rains do not dampen the diwali spirit , expect some fireworks at the box - office , though there is hardly much choice for the viewers .
9 . it is the case of the defendants that the assignment deed relied upon by the plaintiff is confined to the remake and dubbing rights in languages tamil , telugu and kannada , which does not give right in hindi . whereas assignment deed dated 03 . 01 . 2008 shows that the plaintiff has been given right to remake / reproduce the film one time in hindi , therefore , it is not open to the plaintiff to claim that he is the absolute copyright owner of the film
woh main nahi
. it is further stated in the counter by placing reliance on the judgment of the hon ' ble supreme court in the case of r . g . anand vs . m / s . delux films , air 1978 sc 1613 , that there can be no copyright in an idea , subject matter , themes , plots or historical or legendary facts and violation of the copyright in such case is confined to the form , manner and arrangment and expression of idea , by the author of copyrighted work , therefore , plaintiff cannot claim copyright over story matter of the films .
8 . the stand of the defendants is that the plaintiff / applicant does not allege violation of any of the above said right . in the pleadings , reliance is placed on the judgment of the hon ' ble bombay high court in the case of star india pvt . ltd . vs . leo burnett ( india ) pvt . ltd . , ( 2003 ) 2 bcr 655 , wherein it has been held that infringement of a cinematographic film per se reproduced such as is the case with video / cd / cable piracy etc . thus , there is no prima facie case of infringement , which may entitle the plaintiff to interim injunction .
for the first time in the history of tamil films , only two commercial star - studded films are opening worldwide for diwali — ajith’s aegan and bharath’s seval . apart from these two , a little known film titled megham , with newcomers in the cast , will have a limited release . normally , anywhere between four and six films get released during this festival . however , this time , even three days before tamil nadu’s second biggest festival , the usual buzz generated by big - ticket diwali releases is conspicuously missing . one of the leading exhibitors in the state abirami ramanathan says , “most tamilians , after having their traditional oil bath and performing pooja on the festival day , make it a point to watch at least one new tamil release without which their diwali is not complete . it is a part of our custom which ensures that a festival release gets a decent opening . some of the biggest hits of stars like mgr , sivaji ganesan and rajinikanth have been their diwali releases . ” diwali has become a metaphor for big movies . the

story is pure balderdash . perhaps to compensate for the lack of a coherent script , the director tries to pack in as much commercial elements like songs , crass comedy and lots of action into the storyline . the first half is crisp while the latter half drags a bit . still the high - octane action drama is watchable

postponed at the last minute due to various reasons . says trade analyst g sekharan , “you cannot say ajith’s aegan versus bharath’s seval is a clash compared to last year’s battle royale fought at the box - office between bigbudget vijay’s azhagiya tamizh magan ( atm ) , surya’s vel and dhanush’s polladhavan . ” the competitive spirit is missing . trade circles also admit that since “it is like india playing bangladesh in a one - dayer , the fans will lose interest and this might impact box - office fortunes . ” what’s worse is that this year , so far , star - studded big movies have really failed to brighten the box - office . small movies like subramaniapuram , kathalil vizhundein , anjatheey and santosh subramaniam have raked in the moolah at the box - office . a film like dasavatharam , due to its big budget , just covered its cost and made a very small profit , while films like kuselan and sathyam did not bring any cheer to the trade which bet big on them . to a certain extent , diwali has lost its lustre due to the invasion of satellite channels . this diwali , tamil tele
, where the hero secretly kills antisocial elements while carrying on a regular life . the movie throws patriotism into the mix by making the hero an ex - army officer . the basic likeability of the theme carries the movie forward though the unbelievability of the basic story and the outlandish action sequences make the movie less effective than the aforementioned entries in the same genre .
saravanan ( sarathkumar ) works as the bus driver for a ladies college and nikitha , one of the college students , has fallen for him . when four goondas belonging to a caste - based political party get off easy after causing the death of a young woman , saravanan takes justice into his own hands and kills them . eventually we learn of his past as chatrapathi , a decorated major in the army and the reason behind his enmity with chakravarthy ( mahadevan ) , the leader of the same political party .
in the ridiculousness of its basic setup . we are expected to believe that an army officer who has won the highest possible award for an armyman , who has been on the cover of all major tamil magazines and has earned the respect of the president and the prime minister , is leading a life of complete anonymity as a bus driver in madras ! but the movie maintains sarathkumar ' s respect by making him the strong and silent type and also making the dances , duets , etc . , the product of nikitha ' s imagination . there are a couple of strong dialogs ( like sarathkumar ' s mention of mother teresa ' s opinion about wasting and his reasoning for why saving up does not make a lot of sense ) that add to his character ' s respectability .
contains quite a bit of action . but the action is so completely over the top that it simply serves to undo some of the positive things the movie has going for it . for instance , the scene where the foursome are brought to sarathkumar is picturised well . but the subsequent fight is so full of flying and leaping stunts that it destroys the seriousness the movie had managed to build until then . the same is the case of the military mission sarathkumar takes on in the flashback . just when we are starting to think that the sequence has been picturised well , he turns into a one - man army performing unbelievable stunts , which pushes the movie right back into the
vadivelu has a separate comedy track which mostly consists of him earning the public ' s ire after selling some dubious products . some of the sequences , like the revelation of the modern machine for killing bedbugs , earn some chuckles . but the credit for most laughs in the movie goes to ilavarasu and his constable / buddy . as the dc who listens to the politicians while secretly yearning for their downfall , he has the best lines in the movie and his accent increases the effect of the lines . his constable , who was also his classmate in school , provides good support with some funny
sarathkumar looks a bit old but shows vigor in the action sequences . we feel sorry for nikitha who seems to have less to do than heroines usually have in action movies . after initially professing love for sarathkumar , she completely disappears till she is needed to make him open up about his past . mahadevan is adequate with his usual low - key villainy . rajesh has an interesting character of an ex - military man who never fails to respect the national anthem . s . a . rajkumar surprisingly comes up with tunes that dont bear his usual touch . ragasiyamaai . . . is a catchy number .
the hero is a bus driver in a catering college where the heroine is also studying . he is also running an orphanage . he is in love with the heroine but she does not know it . rowdies tease a girl student of the college . chatrapathi murders the rowdies . one day the heroine enters the hero ' s room and comes to know about his past life including the murder of the rowdies . the heroine knows about his kindness and other good activities and is thrilled that the hero is not an ordinary man . she requests him to tell her his life story and he narrates it to her .
the president of india honours the hero with the highest award ` paramveer chakra ' for his exemplary action of annexing a portion of siachen glacier from the neighbouring country . after getting the award the hero goes to his native place , where a political leader has annexed the land belonging to the hero . the man who got back a portion of the land from the neighbouring country is unable to get back his own land . he knows that a political leader is behind all this . this provokes him to eradicate political leaders who are acting against religion and community . because of this he is arrested by the police and brought to court . chatrapathi says that his act is justified and he always wanted to destroy anti - social elements that disturb the society . the court hands over the hero to the military forces .
sarath kumar as the hero has done justice to his character and has shown restrained acting in the first half and is full of vigour and action in the second . nikita ably supports him . pooja in a negative role is promising . rajesh as the man who gives respects to the national flag plays a brilliant character . vadivelu makes us laugh occasionally . a . karthik raja ' s camera work is noteworthy . s . a . raj kumar ' s music is significant . two songs , ` ragasiyamai ' and ` ore oru raathiri ' ( a dance by rambha ) will certainly be on the lips of the viewers .

the story is so simple that it could be written at the back of a stamp . the movie begins with sarath kumar working as a bus driver in a women ' s college in chennai . he takes a group of men to a remote village and bumps them off for killing a young girl after eve - teasing her .
he also kidnaps a local dadha and murders him besides giving a warning to all goondas operating in the city . this upsets dadha ' s master and mentor is a politician , mahadevan , and he raises suspicion over the sarath ' s past .
the rest is all flashback where sarath is shown as an honest military officer and a winner of param vir chakra for his heroics in getting back siachen glacier ( stupidly filmed in ooty or kodaikanal ) from pakistan . he returns to his village from the war field , only to face the wrath of local dadhas for denying to sell his piece of land to them .
