Lagenda Budak Setan

A star is born amongst our family circle! At least that is how we perceive it. After waiting for many months with bated breath, thanks to our friendly DVD peddlers at Econsave, we finally laid hands on the latest local flick that hit the cinemas -Lagenda Budak Setan.
My brother in law landed a small albeit an important role in the movie at the tail end of the show. He played the role of a doctor who was the bearer of bad news. He acted well in his role - a role that he performed well in his daily life- a doctor! Personally, I thought he did his part convincingly well, it was not half as bad! He delivered his lines (but with voice overs) pretty well - not the standard standing still and rattling off the lines with no emotions as we are quite often used to in most local movies. You can a glimpse of his performance in the following snippet @ 6:45 mark. The lip sychronising seem to have been done pretty well.

In addition to his debut performance, his home was also a star of sorts as it was used as a shooting location as one of the actresses' home in the movie. See below at around #8:00 mark!

Overall, the movie was an above average melodramatic fare. Anyway it grossed more than 50 times in budget! One plus point was its cinematography - we could not believe that such picturesque sceneries could be captured here in Malaysia! The director of the movie was one Sharad Sharan (a buddy of my brother-in-law) and the post production work (editing, mixing, etcetera) was done in Bollywood.
That is it. Another masala to spice up our lives - another happening, another milestone, another event and another day to add sparkle to our illustrious journey of life!

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
