Now, how can I not to be addicted to these things?

Time to introduce my current addictions for the last 6 months!

1. Running Man

Don't walk but run!

I'm sure by now most of the search hits for this post by the label 'running man' should know how awesome Running Man show is. It is a Korean television game/variety show where 6 members will complete a mission every week with guest for the week. I bet you if you need a great deal of laughter on a stressful day, then this is the best show to watch. 

JoongKi is no longer a member but early episodes of him are as crazy as it always will be.

2. Anirudh and Dhanush

On the left is Anirudh Ravichander and on the right is Dhanush.

So who don't know about them? Does "Why This Kolaveri Di" rings a bell to you? 

Bingo!

Anirudh Ravichander is a young music composer who composed the global viral song "Why This Kolaveri?" at the age of 20 in 2011. The song is featured in Dhanush's movie entitled "3" which was directed by Dhanush's wife, Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth's eldest daughter and Anirudh's cousin, Aishwariya Dhanush. I already did a review on the movie here. 

Dhanush on the other hand, is already in cinema industry for years with his ultimate breakthrough came with his commercially hit movie, Thiruvilayadal Arambam. The major turn was when he started to go off-acting line and indulged in lyric writing and singing. Yes, Dhanush can sing. The first song he sang was "Un mele asaithan" in his brother's movie "Ayirathil Oruvan". So lyrics for "Why This Kolaveri" song (and other songs in '3') were written by Dhanush and also sang by him. Trust me, this song is addictive.

I know you all must be wondering why I'm talking two people who did something great way back then in 2013. Well, good news to the lovers of these two young men. They are joining forces again for "Ethir Neechal" which is produced by Dhanush and wrote lyrics and sing for 2 songs if I'm not mistaken. And Anirudh has just again proved his God-ly music making talent. I'm so in love with the songs in the movie. My recommendations would be :-

1. Nijamellam Maranthu Pochu

2. Boomi Enna Suthudhe

3. Hyouka

This is a 22-episode anime where the main attraction would be the main lead Houtarou Oreki's attitude. Yes, he's could the most laziest anime character that you might have come across in your anime-ing years. And yet, his logical inference and awkwardness will make you fall for him. Right after the first episode itself. I love his motto as well. It sounds so...err...lazy 

Watch Hyouka here! 

4. Drawing

I'm not such a good artist when it comes to drawing. I guess it's pretty much in my genes since both my brother and father are very much good at drawing. How I wish I can draw as well as them? 

Not so much of techniques used but I guess it's the closest  I can copy as the original one.

Old works of copying.So this copying skills lead me to another hobby or money-making business. Yup, drawing mehendi/henna.

3 - Fantasizing about a beautiful L.O.V.E story

Have you ever heard of "Why This Kolaveri Di?" song? If you haven't, please do so because you had just missed the global phenomenon on Youtube.

This song have reached about 50 million views currently and 28 million views just after a few days released on Youtube. It went so viral that there were a lot of cover version for this song from Dutch until Japan. There are replies from the girls for this song, R&B version, Punjabi version and flashmobs in Chennai and Malaysia.

Nothing special about this song actually. It's a song written using a very simple English in an Indian way where the lyricist (in this case, it's Dhanush) add "eu" at the end of each English word. The music is addictive and with such easier-to-understand lyrics, the song is a major hit!

So about the movie, I went to watch it on 4th April 2012, the 6th day after the movie was released worldwide on 30th March 2012. The show was at 11.55pm and in GSC in Summit Subang. Sagee bought tickets for all nine of us on online (thanks,girl ^_^ )

About the movie, you can check it out at Wikipedia as they gave out the whole story there. It's basically about the love story between Ram and Janani since their school days. Ram (Dhanush) met Janani (Shruthi Hassan) on a rainy day and fall for her. With that, he started to go after her. Cliché methods such as following her to tuition, waiting to see her and portraying the "intelligent" side of him in tuition. The movie's dramatic ending was the death of Ram. Janani went on looking for the real reason behind her husband's death and finally broke down after finding the truth.

This movie was directed by the Tamil Movie industry's Superstar Rajinikanth's eldest daughter, Aishwarya Dhanush and acted by Dhanush and another great actor of all time, Kamal Hassan's daughter, Shruthi Hassan. Music is by Anirudh Ravichander, the nephew of Latha Rajinikanth.

Music has been the backbone of the movie. All the songs in the movie are so addictive and were hit overall. The lyrics for all song were written by Dhanush except for "Come on girls" which is by Aishwarya herself.

The chemistry between Dhanush and Shruthi Hassan is awesome as they perfectly portrays the love between them. To stand watching her husband being close on screen with another girl, I salute Aishwarya's belief in her husband.

The story is simple and made a lot of my friends ask "is this kind of love even possible now?". I would love to answer, that love is meant to be possible for Ram and Janani. If you want such love story, then create one for yourself. That love story is possible because of the way it is actually plotted so never compare your love life with the movie's.

Over all, it's an enjoyable commercial movie. My personal rating would be 7 out of 10.
