With even before the first look stills of Vijay’s Thupakki would get released there have been tough competitions to bag the satellite rights of the movie.

Recently Vijay TV and Sun TV had a battle to get the satellite rights of Nanban starring Vijay, Ileana, Jeeva, Srikanth, Sathyan, Sathyaraj which is directed by S Shankar.

Finally it is Vijay TV who won the battle and took home the satellite rights of Vijay’s Nanban for a record price.

But, Sources say that this time Sun TV is not going to make any compensation to bag the rights of Thupakki, which has Vijay and Kajal Agarwal in the lead and directed by AR Murugadoss.

----------------

Despite the setback Sun TV is getting ready for a " no holds barred" effort to grab the rights of Thuppakki

Sun TV ready to pay 13.75Cr for Thuppakki ( Sun TV paid 6 Cr for BIla 2 )
...

There has been tough competition between Vijay TV and Sun TV to bag the satellite rights of the movie.

It is to be remembered that both the TVs had a stiff bidding war to get the satellite rights of "Nanban" and in the end it was vijay TV which emerged as the winner..

OHEA Smart Bed

OHEA Smart Bed makes itself
By Lalith Naveen
17:18 June 13, 2012

The OHEA Smart Bed can make itself automatically in 50 seconds
The OHEA Smart Bed can make itself automatically in 50 seconds

Fully Automated Robotic Turnkey Production Cells
Unless you’re an obsessive “morning” person, making the bed first thing after waking ranks right up there with banging your knee on the night stand. Understanding that most people would just like to turn around and see the bed magically made, Spanish furniture company OHEA is offering a self-making “smart bed” that tidies the sheet and pillows the moment you stand up.
The bed of the future has been the staple of popular science magazines and feature writers for decades. There’s been everything predicted and made, from beds with built-in radios and televisions, self-heating or cooled mattresses, to ones that roll out onto the porch for fresh-air sleeping. There have even been ones that promised to wash their own sheets. The OHEA Smart Bed is a bit more modest, in that it sticks to just making itself.
The Smart Bed is relatively simple in concept. It’s based on the premise that making the bed on a daily basis is basically an exercise in sheet straightening. If the bed is simplified and designed with this in mind, it’s not that difficult to get it to make itself. The key to this is the bed’s specially-made pillows and sheet. The pillows are attached by cords to a mechanism in the headboard, while the sheet is secured to the foot of the bed with Velcro and has cords sewn into its lateral sides. A bed with only a sheet may seem a bit chilly to most people, but it’s designed more along the lines of a duvet cover, so bedding can be inserted in cold weather.
The bed-making process starts with the Smart Bed's weight sensor. When the bed is occupied, it’s switched off, but after the sleeper rises, the bed waits three seconds and activates. The mechanism in the headboard pulls the pillows straight and raises them. Meanwhile, a pair of lids running down the sides of the mattress open and a pair of robotic arms deploy. These hook the cords in the sheet at the foot of the bed and then the arms run to the head of the bed. As they do so, the sheet is straightened and pulled up. After this, the pillows are dropped, the arms retract and the lids close, leaving behind a neatly-made bed. The whole operation takes about 50 seconds, and can be seen in the video at the bottom of the page.
If you’re someone whose dog or cat jumps on the bed to claim the warm spot as soon as you get up, you don’t need to worry about it getting caught in the mechanism. OHEA says that the weight sensor acts as a safety cut-out, stopping the bed-making if anyone sits on it. How small a cat this will work on is unclear. Also, the bed can be set to only operate on manual, in which case it’s activated by a simple push of a button.
The OHEA Smart Bed is not currently for sale, but the company is taking queries at its website. Until then, corner tucking will need to be done the old-fashioned way ... or you could always get yourself a Zip Bed.

Urumi


Urumi: Engaging epic

S. SIDDHARTH SAMSON 


Still from the movie

Still from the movie "Urumi". Photo: Special Arrangement



From the very first scene of this film to the last, director-cum-cinematographer Santosh Sivan proves to be on top of this technical masterpiece.
Plot
“Urumi” takes you through the journey and the story of the person who plots to kill Vasco da Gama, the famous Portuguese sailor. Kelu Nayanar (Prithviraj) plans an uprising by taking revenge for the blood of his father Chirakkal Kothuval (Arya) who is killed in an infamous massacre by the Vasco da Gama-led Portuguese army.
This magnum opus gives you the feel of a revolution with a very thoughtfully written screenplay peppered with good comic timing. The songs, waterfall sequences and the war scenes evoke a feel of realism due to its stunning visuals and brilliant re-recording.
Performances
Prithiviraj as Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar does not do justice to the role with his acting but his convincing action sequences and his muscular physique compensate for it.
It is Prabhudeva as Vavvali who excels with his standout comic repartee. Genelia as the fierce spirited Arackal Ayesha does a fantastic job in the swordfights.
Nithya Menon as Chirakkal Bala puts up a very neat and a fine performance and her scenes with Vavvali are enjoyable. Arya's performance as both the story-teller Thangachan and Kothuval is also noteworthy as his rebellious spirit is brought out very well.
Certain portions in the film become very melodramatic to suit the Indian audiences thereby derailing the pace. The brilliantly choreographed action sequences seem to be a tad too loud for the ears.
Bottomline: This movie is an engaging epic with mind-blowing visuals and brilliant performances.
BIG SCREEN
Movie: Urumi
Cast: Prithviraj, Prabhudeva, Genelia D'Souza, Nithya Menon…

Billa II



Billa II


Ajith's forthcoming offering, 'Billa 2', is a prequel to his 2007 blockbuster hit, 'Billa'. This film by Chakri Toleti showcases how a commoner who is an Eelam refugee, David (read Ajith), from the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu goes on to become Billa, one of the most feared underworld dons.
Ajith plays the titular role in the film with Parvathy and Bruna Abdullah playing his lead ladies and Sudhanshu Pandey in a pivotal role. Earlier, Huma Qureshi was supposed to play the main female lead; however she was replaced by Parvathy after the first schedule of the film, as the script underwent changes, which was after the makers watched Ajith's 50th offering, 'Mankatha'.
It may be mentioned that Ajith's 'Billa' that released in 2007 and was directed by Vishnuvardhan, fetched him more fans than ever and the movie was one sleek package with Nayanthara and Namitha on board and racy scenes.
An interesting aspect is that the director of this film, Chakri Toleti, will use an EPIC camera for filming. 'Billa 2' is now the first ever Indian film to be shot using an EPIC camera. It was the same breed of EPIC Camera that was used by James Cameron to film 'Avatar'.
Audiences will also get to see a younger Ajith in this film as the script demands for it. The tunes for the film have been composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja who composed the songs of 'Mankatha' as well. Cinematography is by RD Rajashekar.
The film's logo that was recently unveiled has become quite a rage among thala fans, especially in social networking sites.
With thala Ajith playing the lead along with two hotties for the female leads, Yuvan's music and Chakri's direction, 'Billa 2' that will release in April 2012 is definitely going to be one of the most expected films next year.

Thupaki



Thupaki


Ilayathalapathy Vijay's forthcoming, 'Thupaki', is much expected due to reasons many. And boy oh boy, has the director roped in the best of talents for the cast and crew! The film boasts off some of the finest technicians in the country for the crew.
This project helmed by AR Murugadoss has music by Harris Jayaraj who has managed to make the Ilayathalapathy croon for a track after quite sometime. The song is said to be a fast paced peppy number.
The film is produced by Kalaipuli S Dhanu who is shelving all the money that's required to make the film a grand venture. Ace Thotta Tharani is the art director of the film that has editing by renowned Sreekar Prasad! Another fine bullet in this biggie is the multi-faceted Santosh Sivan who is handling the camera for this film. Most of the scenes are canned in Mumbai.
Vijay will be seen in a whole new stylish suave avatar in this film according to reliable sources. Apt to the title, the actor will be seen as an encounter specialist in 'Thupaki'. Kajal Aggarwal plays Vijay's love interest in this high voltage action entertainer and their on screen chemistry is one of the highlights.
The makers are toying with the idea of featuring Jai as Vijay's younger brother as the former has features that resemble Vijay and the duo make convincing siblings.
Sathyan who provided comic relief in Vijay's 'Nanban', will do so in this biggie as well. Jayaram will be seen in a pivotal role.
Boasting off some of the best talents in the industry, this high voltage action entertainer is one of the biggest films of 2012 and will introduce a suave new avatar of Vijay to his dear fans. Make way for 'Thupaki' that's getting bigger with each passing day!

NANBAN MOVIE PREVIEW




Nanban - Movie Preview

Direction:Shankar
Production:Gemini Films
Music:Harris Jayaraj

Right as the year begins, seems like we are in for a treat with back to back big releases. Nanban, remake of the Bollywood blockbuster Three Idiots, is directed by Shankar and has no less than an ensemble star cast including Vijay, Jiiva and Srikanth. To call it the most expected movie of the year is naive, especially when the year has just started. But there's no denial to the fact that Nanban is riding high on expectations both from Vijay and Shankar fans. Not to mention, the movie's success in Hindi and Chetan Bhagat's best seller book's super success upon which it is based on.

The casting process begun on a high note after Vijay gave nod to star in the movie but in a matter of few weeks time, the Kaavalan walked out of the project due to some differences with the makers of the film. Gemini Film Circuit, which acquired the South Indian remake rights of 3 idiots, then approached Surya and almost signed him to play the lead role played by Aamir Khan in the original. But the actor also stepped out of Nanban, as the production house refused to meet his demands.

On the other end, Shankar kick-started the shooting of Nanban with the other cast: Ileana D'Cruz, Jeeva, Srikanth, and Sathyaraj. In the meantime, the makers of the film decided to go with their first choice – Vijay. They convinced him and sealed the deal finally.

Nanban is also Shankar's first remake. Shankar has always relied on his original stories and it's quite unusual for a director of his caliber to embark on a remake project. It is said that Shankar got the idea of remaking this movie after he watched it on DVD during the shoot breaks of his blockbuster film Endhiran. He fell in love with it immediately that he decided to remake it. He bought the rights and started the project soon after with Vijay, Jiiva and Srikanth in the lead.

The first schedule of the shooting was completed at Ooty followed by second in Dehradun. The entire shoots were completed by the end of August except a song. Some of the songs of Nanban have been shot in London, Buckingham and Europe. However, though the movie was ready by September last week, the bosses decided to push the release date due to Vijay's other release Velayudham.

This film also marks Ileana's reentry into Tamil. She has not been seen in the industry after her appearance in Kedi a few years ago although there are rumors every now and then about her possible Tamil project. Nanban's ensemble star cast also includes Sathyaraj, Anuya, S J Surya, Raghava Lawrence, Uma Padmanabhan and Manobala.

Nanban's music launch was held without much fanfare in an engineering college in Coimbatore. Sound track as well as teaser trailers of songs have been receiving positive responses ever since. The six songs Harris scored for the movie are not exactly replicas of the original versions but Harris has given his nice touch to each one of them thereby regionalising them.

However, Nanban has generated curiosity for many reasons and being Vijay-Shankar's film is the prime factor for the hype. Adding to that the movie is a remake of a popular Hindi movie, which bagged countless awards for various category and the audience want to see how the Tamil version has been made with the local sensibilities.

Certified as U, without any cuts by the Censor Board, Nanban will be distributed by Gemini Film Circuit. Advance bookings have already begun and a Telugu version is also being released on January 26th.


Nanban’s running time

nanban-vijay-11-01-12Nanban’s running time is 3 hours and 10 minutes, say sources. This means, Shankar has included a lot more scenes than it was in the original version 3 Idiots which had a running time of 164 minutes. Director Shankar has done a thorough research on the bookFive Point Someone, penned by Chetan Bhagat. 3 Idiots is inspired from this book and so is Nanban.
The film stars Vijay, Jiiva, Srikanth, Ileana and others. It will hit the screens on January 12th as a Pongal treat for all movie buffs.

Nokia Lumia 900


Nokia Lumia 900 "Ace" detailed, launching at CES 2012 through AT&T

By Lalith Naveen
January 11, 2012, 12:00 PM EST

Nokia is planning to launch the Lumia 900 Ace (codenamed Eloko) at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show next week in Las Vegas. Specifications and images have leaked out ahead of the introduction that paints a pretty good picture as to what we can expect from Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone.
For starters, the handset will feature a 1.4GHz processor, a 4.3-inch WVGA Nokia ClearBlack AMOLED display, 512MB of RAM and an 8MP rear-facing camera. At 4.3-inches, the screen is a bit larger than the 3.7-inch display found on the Lumia 800 but the resolution remains the same. The phone is said to ship with the Mango build of Windows Phone and includes an 1830mAh battery. 
PocketNow is pretty certain that the device will be sold carrier locked but that it will contain the 1700MHz band required to work on T-Mobile’s 3G network. This means that a workaround to run the 900 via T-Mobile will likely surface soon after launch.
The Ace weighs in at 160 grams, just 18 grams more than the Lumia 800 which is likely due to the larger screen and the addition of an LTE radio. Thickness is expected to be around 12 millimeters.
There’s no mention of pricing for Nokia’s high-end Lumia phone but we should know more next week at CES. In addition to the 900, Nokia is rumored to be preparing another mid-range device for launch as well, the Lumia 719. The 900 Ace is set to launch with AT&T and we suspect the 719 would follow the same path.

Apple to release iPad 3


Rumor: Apple to release iPad 3 in March, iPad 4 following in October



January 11, 2012, 11:50 AM EST
apple, ipad, ios, rumor, tablet, iphone 5, ipad 3, ipad 4
Apple could be preparing to release two new iPads this year. The iPad 3 may be unveiled in March and a secondary tablet, dubbed the iPad 4, could arrive in October, according to Taiwan component makers viaDigiTimes.
Update: In addition to the information divulged earlier by DigiTimes, 9to5mac has found references about quad-core processing in iOS 5.1 which is currently in beta. This upcoming OS update from Apple is supposed to be paired with a next-generation iPad 3 and potentially the iPhone 5.
The iPad 3 is expected to ship with a QXGA (2084 x 1536 pixels) display and improved battery life but other than these two enhancements, we are told not to expect much more from the tablet. Previous rumors had pointed to two iPad 3 models, a mid-range and high-end product, being unveiled at iWorld on January 26.
The latest speculation indicates that the iPad 2 will receive a price cut to $399 with the introduction of the iPad 3. The lower price would allow Apple to compete with other vendors such as Sony, Motorola and Samsung that offer tablets at a lower price point.
Sources expect the real battle for market share to take place in the second half of 2012 when Apple ships their iPad 4. This would be around the same time that Microsoft releases Windows 8 and Intel introduces its Clover Trail-W platform. These sources suggest that the iPad 4 would feature the same 9.7-inch display as the iPad 3 but would include upgraded hardware specifications and new applications. This could perhaps include the Samsung-manufactured quad-core A6 processor that has been rumored to be the successor to the dual-core A5 SoC.
DigiTimes has a mixed track record, especially when it comes to Apple rumors. As such, we suggest you take this latest dose with a grain of salt.
