Why should #AamirKhan learn classical music to play the mercurial #KishoreKumar Even he didn't!! You have to learn acting. Anyway I think that project is shelved and #Kishoreda fans are relieved!!

#OG relies on #RaviKChandran for for form but content is a casualty ruthlessly sacrificed to please fanatics of @PawanKalyan.This bloody mayhem told in breathless fashion is an aural assault visually violent and emotionally vacuous You wipe and check for bloodstains as you leave!

#Vishnuvardhan would have turned 75. A fine actor with a pleasant screen presence he had a faithful fan following. I interviewed him a couple of years before he passed away when he was disturbed mentally and not keeping too well. "Why haven't you interviewed me before, " he asked

Heard from sources that producers did approach #Rajinikanth but he wasn't interested in a huge show to celebrate #50yearsofRajinikanth Understandable but something fitting should just be organised and #Thalaivar should be invited!!

Having had the rare privilege of attending and listening to #Valiant the brilliant symphony by maestro #Ilaiyaraaja in London and left speechless I hope the packed audience today maintains concert etiquette by not whistling and applauding inappropriately! @OneMercuri

Watched #Highest2Lowest reluctantly after learning it was inspired by Kurosawa's classic #HighAndLow about moral dilemma and was left cold.Just fails to evoke any emotion. Like #ManiRatnam said after watching Dayavaan #SpikeLee totally misses the point #DenzelWashington @AppleTV

Why was a tip added without my consent? I'd like to handover the amount personally to the delivery person and the amount should be my discretion!! @letsblinkit

I find it amusing reading about fans fighting over the false and manipulated box-office figures of their idols! Back then when #AmitabhBachchan starred in films with #Dharmendra #ShatrughanSinha and #VinodKhanna the fight outside theaters was about the number of punches exhanged

Many are wondering why everyone was going gaga. #KamalHaasan once told me you have to know about life in New York to understand some of Woody Allen's films.Kannada spoken in Mangalore has a unique flavour and the humour subtle which is lost with subtitles. #SuFromSo @JioHotstar

#Elumale What's best is #PunitRangaswamy getting straight to the point.There’s a palpable tension created around the lead pair that lasts to the end.Was dreading a flashback about how they fell in love but no frills.Masterclass in writing and treatment in recent mainstream cinema

After a marital squabble my wife would suggest leaving in jest. 'Don't forget me' my mom would chirp with a sly smile. #FluteMali relished her Vatha Kozhambu and would ask her to sing Alai Payudhe and Thyagaraya namaste. She personified her name Shanta! She'd have turned 87!!

Film critics deserve a #parithabangal episode.They've been tormented by trash starring #Vikram #Ajith #Dhanush #KamalHaasan and #Rajinikanth this year. There's a united desperation in trying to pick positives in a flawed film like #Madharaasi that's heart rending yet heartwarming

You'll like #Madharasi if you compare it to #Sikandar and #Darbaar and not #Ghajini and #Thuppakki .The focus is on bigger canvas not cohesive, taut content. In the eagerness to impress it seems endless. You know what's going to happen and wonder why it's taking so long!!
