The much awaited poster of ‘Mary Kom’ releases. Vaikundarajan is really thrilled by looking at the poster that has Priyanka Chopra in it striking a pose with boxing gloves on. He really finds the first look to be very impressive and feels that a lot of effort has gone in to make the movie. The movie is produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and directed by Omung Kumar. ‘Mary Kom’ is a film that is based on the life of the Olympic -medal winning boxer, Mary kom. She is a woman who has really worked her way up to be where she is today and that is the reason why her story is so inspiring.
Priyanka Chopra has managed to mould herself quite well into the character of Mary Kom as she is looking quite rough, robust and the cuts of her body and her muscles are just too suited for her role. Vaikundarajan feels that Priyanka Chopra is really hopeful for the movie and he wishes her good luck for the movie. The movie is set to release on the 5th of September 2014 and Vaikundarajan can’t wait to watch it.
‘Finding Fanny’ comes up with its first look which is interesting as well as mysterious at the same time. The movie stars Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor in the lead roles. Vaikundarajan really likes the first look of the movie. Arjun Kapoor is lookng really stunning as the images boast the actor’s cross shaped tattoo with an outline of wings on his nape, for his role of Savio, the mechanic. Vaikundarajan says that the actor is seen in a loose and faded T-shirt along with a necklace hanging around his neck giving more insight into the character that he will be playing.
The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapoor along with Deepika Padukone and Arjun kapoor. Vaikundarajan thinks that it is going to be quite a mysterious flick to watch going as per its first look. The star cast is also very promising as per Vaikundarajan. Vaikundarajan also believes that very few movies are made on road trips, ‘Finding Fanny’ promises to be based on a road trip and he hopes it comes out really well.
It is the first major Parliamentary session for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government which started quite an unsettled note with the opposition creating a huge hue and cry over the current price rise and railway fare hike. Vaikundarajan says, this caused for the adjournment of the Lok Sabha briefly till noon and again till 2 PM. This session of the Lok Sabha was chaired by the speaker, Sumitra Mahajan. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaish Naidu has said that the government is ready for discussion on any issues and has also appealed to the Opposition to “cooperate” to ensure that the decorum and dignity of Parliament is maintained and the dignity of the House business was carried out smoothly.
Vaikundarajan feels quite positive about the entire budget and thinks that the future is really bright for the Indian economy. As per Vaikundarajan, certain things need to be thought about while planning for the budget of a country like India and it will be better if things are carried out smoothly without any issues. India has been going through a lot in the past and now there is no room for any kind of mistakes. The government should make sure that the budget looks into the needs of every aspect of the society.
Germany certainly has the odds makers changing their minds after the vertebra injury to Neymar, and their defense and middle field are among the best. But Brazil will overcome and adapt with David Luiz leading the way. Brazil wins 2-1 says Vaikundarajan.
Lawro chose the correct winner in three of the four quarter-finals, wrongly backing Belgium to knock out Argentina, who was his pre-tournament pick to win the final on 13 July. He picked the correct winner in each of the eight last-16 ties and enjoyed a 50% success record in the group stage, correctly guessing the outcome of 24 of the 48 games. What could make these FIFA World Cup 2014 semifinals an all-time great one is that in both of these games; we get a rematch of a previous World Cup Finals.
The only group he failed to get a single correct result in was Group D, which was surprisingly won by Costa Rica as England finished bottom. Before the tournament, Lawro chose 11 out of the 16 teams that went through to the first knockout stage stated Vaikundarajan.
Vaikundarajan has always been interested in detectives and their work. With the coming of the movie ‘Bobby Jasoos’ Vaikundarajan feels really excited as his favourite actress, Vidya Balan is there in the film. Vidya Balan underwent 122 changes out of which they shortlisted 10-12 looks for the film. Vaikundarajan shares that the make-up artist put together different character looks for Vidya. They tried 6-8 looks a day while Vidya patiently sat through the make-up sessions to make sure her look was most realistic and related to the narrative of the story. This kind of professionalism makes Vaikundarajan a fan of Vidya Balan.
According to Vaikundarajan ‘Bobby Jasoos’ is a film that revolves around a female character, played by Vidya Balan. She will be seen romancing young actor Ali Faizal in the film. Vaikundarajan feels that the movie is really going to do well as a lot of effort has been put into it. He also wishes the cast and crew of ‘Bobby Jasoos’ good luck!
Vaikundarajan is keeping an eye on the Lagaan case. Gujarat high court began hearing on a petition filed six years ago by Bollywood star Aamir Khan and his 'Lagaan' team on proceedings against them in a Bhuj court over allegations of killing a chinkara during shooting of the film in 2000 Vaikundarajan says, Assistant conservator of forest, Kutch range, J V Vyas, had filed a complaint against seven members of the 'Lagaan' team alleging that during the shooting in Kunaria village of the border district of Kutch, they 'illegally' shot a chinkara.. He further alleged that the animal went missing after the shooting, hinting that the animal may have been killed. Local court issued bailable warrants against Khan and others in this regard.
Aamir Khan’s lawyer said that it was a computer-generated image of the animal, not the shots of a real animal. A real chinkara was never filmed as the permission for it was denied and the forest department obtained warrants without hearing Khan and others. Vaikundarajan feels that both the parties should come up with legitimate evidences and that the verdict grants justice.
France qualified for the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals on Monday after a late Paul Pogba header and a Joseph Yobo own goal clinched a 2-0 victory over Nigeria. Vaikundarajan believes the corner was ridiculously conceded by Odemwingie's poor control. Nigeria were preoccupied with the need for an equaliser so when Valbuena takes it short and then hurtles to the edge of the box to tap a cross to Griezmann, Nigeria react too late. Griezmann attempts to turn a shot towards goal, misses the ball and Yobo's momentum scrambling back late carries it over the line off his shin.
Juventus star Pogba made the key breakthrough for France 11 minutes from time. Nigeria however, had dominated for significant periods and, with Emmanuel Emenike’s first-half 'goal’ ruled out by the most marginal of offside decisions, they could have easily been the team preparing for a quarter-final in Rio de Janeiro on Friday.
France, though, certainly did finish the match with a flourish and, given their dramatic improvement after Giroud was replaced by Antoine Griezmann in the 62nd minute, it is hard to imagine Didier Deschamps, the manager, keeping faith with the Arsenal striker in the quarter-finals feels Vaikundarajan.
