back to the future was content to travel from 1985 back to 1955 , but back to the future part ii zipped every which way , just because it could . writer / director robert zemeckis and co - writer bob gale went from 1985 to 2015 , back to an alternate 1985 for a dystopian nightmare sidebar , and then further back still to the 1955 they had crashed in the first movie . it is a hugely ambitious movie that envisions several parallel worlds all at once , and even if it ' s not always successful , it can ' t be faulted for a lack of imagination .

most movies set in the future jump far enough ahead to be completely removed from modern society , or at least don ' t peg a specific date to the action at hand ( see : the martian , her ) . but back to the future part ii had to be close enough to 1985 that marty ( michael j . fox ) could collide with his future self . the first film leapt 30 years into the past , so it only made sense to leap 30 years into the future in the second .

the cleverest part of back to the future part ii for me is when we scoot back to 1955 , and zemeckis weaves in a recreation of the enchantment under the sea dance with footage from the first film . this is brilliantly and confidently done , made in an era where computers could only help so much . zemeckis plays happily with moments from the first movie , and whilst there ' s no requirement for familiarity with the original to enjoy part ii , this is the sequence where you really feel the benefits of watching part i so many times . what ' s more , it ' s very much an example of technology being used for the sake of the film , rather than the other way around .

doc . brown comes back from the future and claims that he needs marty and jennifer to follow him in order to save their future children . this is one of the most retarded things ever put on a screenplay . if your children are in danger in the future and you go in the future to save them ; when you are coming back to the present nothing that you did in the future changed anything . you will still have to save them again when the present will reach the future moment .

sequels are common in hollywood . good sequels are much rarer . back to the future part ii , released in november 1989 , is arguably one of the most inventive and jaw - dropping sequels ever made . the noted astronomer and science communicator carl sagan once told its director that it was ‘the best movie ever made on the science of time travel’ . that crown has since arguably been passed on to shane carruth’s labyrinthine thriller primer , but even so back to the future part ii remains a landmark in american science fiction cinema , and a sequel of which its creators can rightfully be enormously proud .

back to the future part iii is a 1990 american science fiction western comedy film and the third and final installment of the back to the future trilogy . the film was directed by robert zemeckis , and stars michael j . fox , christopher lloyd , mary steenburgen , thomas f . wilson and lea thompson . the film continues immediately following back to the future part ii ( 1989 ) ; while stranded in 1955 during his time travel adventures , marty mcfly ( fox ) discovers that his friend dr . emmett " doc " brown , trapped in 1885 , was killed by biff tannen ' s great - grandfather buford . marty decides to travel to 1885 to rescue doc .

additionally , for part ii , there was an addition to the scene with biff tannen witnessing the delorean take off , fly up the street and back , and then explode in light and wind . this scene sets up his motives in 2015 .

when doc brown ( christopher lloyd ) and marty mcfly ( michael j . fox ) blasted their delorean into the future at the end of the 1985 cult classic sci - fi film and landed in hill valley at the start of 1989 ' s " back to the future part ii , " the date was october 21 , 2015 - - which just happens to be today !

as the below matrix shows , though , not all of back to the future ' s predictions were total shots in the dark .

the shooting of the back to the future sequels , which were shot back - to - back throughout 1989 , reunited much of the crew of the original . the films were shot over the course of 11 months , save for a three - week hiatus between filming of parts ii and iii . the most grueling part was editing part ii while filming part iii , and zemeckis bore the brunt of the process over a three - week period . while zemeckis was shooting most of the train sequences in sonora , gale was in los angeles supervising the final dub of part ii . zemeckis would wrap photography and board a private plane to burbank , where gale and engineers would greet him on the dubbing stage with dinner . he would oversee the reels completed that day , and make changes where needed . afterwards , he would retire to the sheraton universal hotel for the night . the following morning , zemeckis would drive to the burbank airport , board a flight back to the set in northern california , and continue to shoot the film .

filmmaker thangar bachchan , known for his offbeat films such as ' azhagi ' and ' thendral ' , weaves an emotional tale of motherly love and how relationships are distanced by technology . with no big names associated with it , ' ammavin kaipesi ' hits the right chords and keeps you engaged throughout . of course , there are moments of highs and lows , but in essence , it is an effort and a plot worth special mention .

thankar is identified for his uncompromising styles of film making and ammavin kaipesi is no exception either . ak is about the boundless love of a mom towards her youngest wastrel of a son and his tryst with life to prove a point to the world . the pain that a mom feels on being forced to evict her son out and then suffer his absence are all well etched out by thankar . and a cell phone plays a significant role in the film justifying the title .

ak abounds in maudlin moments and such melodrama on the lines of television soap may prove pure poison at the cash counters and with the contemporary audience . the film certainly has a succulent story line but sadly the narrative style , the premise and the presentation are not in tune with current sensibilities . entertainment value is minimal in ammavin kaipesi which appears quite lengthy at 152 minutes . close to climax , the director builds his tempo in untangling the knot and if this pace was uniform , ak may have fared better .

thankar is identified for his uncompromising styles of film making and ammavin kaipesi is no exception either . for thankar , traversing in the intricate emotional by lanes is just a sweep and he does that in ak too . the ironical aspect of what happens to mom and son is very interesting and is a typical thankar style . the pace is leisurely but at points , brisk especially in the second half . the director’s passion for nativity is well known and praise points are due to the film’s real feel approach in showcasing the customs and practices of rural tamil nadu .

filmmaker thangar bachchan , known for his offbeat films such as “azhagi” and “thendral” , weaves an emotional tale of motherly love and how relationships are distanced by technology . with no big names associated with it , “ammavin kaipesi” hits the right chords and keeps you engaged throughout . of course , there are moments of highs and lows , but in essence , it is an effort and a plot worth special mention . based on an eponymous novel written by the director , the story of the film revolves around an ageing mother and her nine children , who are only connected through mobile phones .

casting is one of the highlights of ammavin kaipesi where every artist from the core to the periphery has done their job convincingly . for shanthanoo , ak would be a milestone in his career graph that has essayed the role of annamalai with deep understanding and an apt body language . iniya delivers it right but the young girl is on the road of getting typecast as village belle . thankar as the money crazy and spineless prasad is a good choice and he earns brownie points in the scenes with his wife and also later as the guilt ridden man on a mission . meenal , azhagam perumal and revathy are adequate as support cast .

talking about shanthnu , he said that the had not seen any of his films . " a close friend showed me some scenes from one of his films and i knew immediately he had it in him to play the character in my film , " he added .

will parthepan make it to the guinness book ? if all goes well , the actor may soon find his name in the guinness world records . parthepan , who is to remake his national - award winning “pudhiya padhai , ” will be reprising his character from the original .

says parthepan : “the film will be the same , but with a different screenplay . the original was all about how a vagabond outrages the modesty of a girl and how she reacts to the situation . the story will be the same up to a point . however , in the new film , the girl will react to the depressing situation in a completely different fashion . i will be reprising the vagabond ' s role ; i believe no actor in the world has attempted to play the same role he had played 23 years ago . so , i ' ve applied to the guinness authorities in this regard . ”

the idea has already triggered interest in the industry with many calling up the actor to know how he intends to go about the film .

says parthepan : “i am on the lookout for a heroine . once i finalise the heroine , i ' ll start work on the film , hopefully by the end of june . ”

the team of “vazhukku en 18 / 9” had one more reason to cheer as the superstar himself took time off his hectic schedule to watch the film .

sources close to the unit say a special screening of the film was arranged for the superstar , who is busy with “kochadaiyaan” being directed by his daughter , at four frames on saturday .

says a source : “the superstar was visibly impressed with the film . he congratulated the entire team on having done a fine job . producer lingusamy , cameraman vijay milton and actor sri were among those present on the occasion . ”

iniya , who impressed audiences and critics alike with her scintillating performances in sargunam ' s “vaagai sooda vaa” and arul mozhi ' s “mouna guru , ” is back in the news .

says iniya , who was in chennai on sunday for a photoshoot of the film : “i play a college - goer called selvi who studies in a small town . shanthanoo and i play the lead . the music is to be scored by rohit kulkarni . ”

iniya is also busy with another film in tamil and one each in malayalam and telugu .

shanthanoo needs to improve on his expressions as they look plain and artificial . the scenes where he breaks down do not create the necessary impact on the audience . iniya scores in certain scenes , like the scene in which she reads the letter in the bathroom . the person who plays the mother’s character is overdramatic at times , but good towards the end . thankar bachan , with his rural slang and rustic looks is too loud . one would wonder if his role was stretched a little too much .

rohit kulkarni’s background score is adequate and suits the milieu . but , the songs do not add much value to the film . thankar bachan’s camera work is functional while kishore’s editing is disappointing . many scenes look endless .

going by the title , one might naturally expect the movie to revolve around the son and mother . but for unknown reasons , the movie wanders around more on the sub - plots , thus bringing down the importance of the central theme . there are some heart warming scenes but they are far and few in between . many scenes look pretty unrealistic and overdramatic ( like the scene in which annamalai is accused as a thief ) . the only consolation is thankar bachan’s earnest attempt to make a movie in his trademark style without compromising on his vision . but , in the process , he has made the film look too outdated and draining .

irector / cinematographer / writer thankar bachan has always had a knack of bringing sensitive stories and characters on celluloid with his distinct touches . this time , he presents tamil film

( mother ' s cell phone ) , produced by thankar thiraikkalam , and based on his own novella , of the same name .

the story kicks off from the present when prasad ( thankar bachan ) arrives at his locked home , enters it in stealthy fashion and climbs a loft to open a bag bursting at the seams with money . his wife catches him at it ; raves and rants about his stealing habits and begs him to return the loot . slowly , we ' re shown the story of the bag , its contents , and a letter , through which we ' re introduced to annamalai ( shantanoo bhagyaraj ) , his beloved selvi ( iniya ) , annamalai ' s mother and their lives .

it ' s simplicity itself : annamalai is a youngster who ' s led a pretty happy - go - lucky life with his eight siblings and a doting mother . he ' s in love with his cousin selvi , and their marriage has the sanction , more - or - less , of the adults of the family . much - maligned for loafing about for years , annamalai suddenly changes his lifestyle and earns the goodwill of selvi ' s father but just when everything seems set for a good life , he ' s accused of theft .

the settings and characters are extremely realistic , which is what you only expect of a thankar movie but it ' s equally obvious that there ' s precious little in the story that can be drawn out for almost three hours . characters change themselves at the drop of a hat , the narration is choppy and you wonder what happened to the finesse that ' s usually a part of his work . the story also revolves around a mystery , almost a whodunit - - except that you know what ' s going to happen right at the very end . but what truly sinks the movie is the melodrama which drags on and on .

shantanoo , given that he ' s presented with an opportunity to actually prove himself in a rustic role , does work hard , but can ' t rid himself of hamming .

iniya looks very pretty and cries well too - - in fact , all the characters do , at some point .

but in some ways , the focus is more or less turned on thankar , and he manages to acquit himself reasonably well .

rohit kulkarni ' s score is passable , while thankar ' s camera - work is faultless . kishore te ' s editing could have been tauter .

rohit kulkarni’s background score is neat and ‘enna senju pore’s melodious rhythm is soothing . a few songs appear quite forced like the one which involves thankar and his wife meenal . even the item number types in the initial scene are also unwarranted . thankar’s cinematography is functional and his frames are good .

based on an eponymous novel written by the director , the story of the film revolves around an ageing mother and her nine children , who are only connected through mobile phones . the mother , who is forced to stay away from her children in isolation , creates a strong liking for her mobile phone , which she guards and protects with much care as she believes it ' s her only way to stay connected with her family . will the mother forever maintain her relationship through the mobile phone or not forms the rest of the story .

thangar presents the story in such a way that two interpretations can be drawn from it . firstly , the focus is on how technology helps people to be connected irrespective of the places they are in . secondly , it also focuses on how technology has paved the way to the distance in a relationship . for instance , since there are mobile phones and internet , people seldom take out time to meet their family members or even parents , for that matter . of course , as a viewer you ' re free to choose what ' s right from your perspective , but the director needs special mention for giving the audience the opportunity to put on their thinking hats and ponder over the story . brilliant !

yes , the film is relatively slow and patience - testing , but it is definitely worth the time and money spent . the director keeps everything as real as possible , but doesn ' t attempt to tamper with the setting of the film or its characters .

the actors have played their part quite well , and especially shantanoo and thangar have excelled in their respective roles . iniya , after her award - winning performance in ' vaagai sooda vaa ' , shows maturity in overall acting .

kishore ' s editing is crisp and reminds us why he walked home with a national award for his work in ' aadukalam ' , while rohit kulkarni ' s music was poignant and melodious .

thangar ' s screenplay , which is slow at times , maintains high emotional quotient throughout the film . having called the film an emotional tale , let me also clarify that it isn ' t tear - jerking . if you find moments that may give work to your tear glands , then please know that it is completely based on the person who is watching it , and not intentional .

synopsis / plot : technology helps us be connected with our near and dear ones , but doesn�t it also distance ourselves from our family and friends physically , form the crux of the film .

going by the title , one might naturally expect the movie to revolve around the son and mother . but for unknown reasons , the movie wanders around more on the sub - plots , thus bringing down the importance of the central theme . ( more )

wikinow lets you discover the news you care about , follow the topics that matter to you and share your favourite stories with your friends .

southern actress iniya has been roped in by thiru for his next , naan sigappu manithan . the actress is now a part of the cast that includes vishal and lakshmi menon . the film will be produced by vishal , ronnie screwvala and siddharth roy kapoor .

tamil nadu ' s favourite and one of the most celebrated comedians , goundamani is likely to return to cinema . we hear the veteran actor will be making an appearance in vaaimai , directed by senthil kumar , a former associate of director vasantha balan .

thankar bachan , well known tamil cinematographer , made his debut as a director with the much acclaimed azhaki starring nandita das and parthepan . it was nandita das ' first tamil film , and the director had waited for two - and - a - half years to get her nod .

viu is an ott video service with more than 30 million downloads across 15 markets including hong kong , singapore , malaysia , india , indonesia , the philippines , thailand . . .

the story kicks off from the present when prasad ( thankar bachan ) arrives at his locked home , enters it in stealthy fashion and climbs a loft to open a bag bursting at the seams with money . his wife catches him at it ; raves and rants about his stealing habits and begs him to return the loot . slowly , we’re shown the story of the bag , its contents , and a letter , through which we’re introduced to annamalai ( shantanoo bhagyaraj ) , his beloved selvi ( iniya ) , annamalai’s mother and their lives .

it’s simplicity itself : annamalai is a youngster who’s led a pretty happy - go - lucky life with his eight siblings and a doting mother . he’s in love with his cousin selvi , and their marriage has the sanction , more - or - less , of the adults of the family . much - maligned for loafing about for years , annamalai suddenly changes his lifestyle and earns the goodwill of selvi’s father but just when everything seems set for a good life , he’s accused of theft .

the settings and characters are extremely realistic , which is what you only expect of a thankar movie but it’s equally obvious that there’s precious little in the story that can be drawn out for almost three hours . characters change themselves at the drop of a hat , the narration is choppy and you wonder what happened to the finesse that’s usually a part of his work . the story also revolves around a mystery , almost a whodunit — except that you know what’s going to happen right at the very end . but what truly sinks the movie is the melodrama which drags on and on .

shantanoo , given that he’s presented with an opportunity to actually prove himself in a rustic role , does work hard , but can’t rid himself of hamming .

iniya looks very pretty and cries well too — in fact , all the characters do , at some point .

rohit kulkarni’s score is passable , while thankar’s camera - work is faultless . kishore te’s editing could have been tauter .

nw1w . after a decent start in porkkalam ( 2009 , tamil ) and a non - descript single in chalo dilli ( 2011 , hindi ) , this is a shocking turn for the worse from rohit .

wondering , in the first place why thangar bachan went to a hndi composer , considering the kind of films he makes . vidhyasagar would have worked well

exactly my wonder too – he was getting good music from vidyasagar and raja . i have heard that even bharadwaj gave him superb music for his now - stuck - in - the - cans ‘kalavaadiya pozhudhugal’ ( starring prakash raj , prabhu deva and bhumika chawla ) . strange choice for composer , this time !

what kind of a review is this ? have you heard all the songs ? instead of dissecting the songs you have just given a one line statement demeaning the man’s work ! i just heard all the tracks and each one is unique and shows the versatality of the music director . it is music which touches the soul and will be proven once the music releases .

w . r . t the comment below , music has no language ! just like how rehman has scored for other languages other than tamil , why can’t someone else score for a tamil film ? it is time we got out of this narrow minded mentaility and opened our minds in this changing world .

sorry – i should have added some context to thangar roping in a new composer and my comment on it . thangar bachan has always been a staunch supporter of tamil artists and tamil pride . so it is rather surprising that he actually someone from outside tamil nadu for this project . not that there’s anything wrong with it – just surprising , given his past utterances on this subject .

on the other point – about my opinion on this soundtrack… it remains the same . not demeaning it , but i can’t wax eloquent on it either , since that would be against my conscience . you just have to live with the fact that there is at least one person whose soul has not been touched with this soundtrack / these songs .

porkkalam was purely director’s show . bandi sarojkumar is a one man army . you can sense his style of cinematography and music in asthamanam too similar to his 1st movie porkalam , with a different set of technical crew for his 1st movie . i also follow bandi’s interviews which are very informative and knowledgeable , which express his strength towards technical aspects . so i strongly feel rohit will have nothing to get compared with porkkalam . this must be his actual potential though . but i respect thangar bachan sir for his off - beat message oriented stuffs . lets wait for the movie to come out .
