The other day i was reading about these unmanned / automatic / driverless cars. They are supposed to run without any human intervention. Thats an awesome idea. We will not see any drunk and drive accidents, machines can multiplex i.e text and drive ... World will not be the same. But every great invention comes with a price. Apparently the insurance industry has raised eyebrows on how to account for insurance in that scenario. The whole insurance and risk management industry strives on the random behavior of humans and their outcomes. So if machines take over , then the question of randomness is ruled out. Sometimes these randomness or the stochastic nature of events make things more interesting. With more and more predictability when we think we have brought order to the world we have actually not .... What say ??

Jigarthanda
Probably the awesomest tamil film i have seen in years. I felt every thing was original in the movie. The director is a very young guy and this happens to be his second movie but what a piece of work.
The famous director Mani Ratnam once said " An Artist is someone who expresses his thoughts and feelings in his own way" This director's screenplay and story telling is case in point for the quote.
THe movie cannot be characterised into a specific genre but every frame entertained me . My favorite scene was the one where the villan gets ready for a sambavam to uncover the rat in his team. He stands in front of all the deities and prays for a while.
I am not sure what the director was trying to convey but i was spellbound after seeing the scene. Every character has done full justice to the assigned role. Set in Madurai , the film captures many elements of life in and around the place. I could see shades of Quintin Tarantino like storytelling and BGM in this movie. The BGM was very unique with a mix of classical and contemporary tunes.
It is nice to see young directors taking bold risks in new ventures like this. I feel this a one pathbreaking film in the history of Tamil Cinema. Hats off to the crew.
