Kandhasamy Movie Review - Fails to deliver

By Siddhartha
V Creations "Kandhasamy" released amongst much hype and fan-fare has kept Chiyaan Vikram's fans elated and the zeal is visible from the fact that the movie has been released in chennai the main hub of tamil cinema in over 18 theatres with one of the multiplex screening over 36 shows in a day. The movie which has all big names of the industry has been named as the "First super-hero tamil movie" and that instantly tells us that this is one movie that is in the league of superman and our own Indian Krrish.
Kandhasamy (Vikram) is a CBI officer who does what all CBI officer knows to do i.e to raid an industrialist PPP (Ashish Vidhyarthi) and his assets over misappropriation of funds close to 1000 crores and as you would expect he comes across the photograph of his daughter Subulakshmi (Shriya Saran) who comes in for a glossy introduction in the "Allegra" song with Italian dancers and an opera background to awe the audience.

Simultaneously in a town near chennai called Thiruporur there is a temple that is very powerful and whoever writes their wishes on the temple tree it bears fruit immediately. This news spreads like wild fire and there is mad rush amongst devotees who throng the temple with their wishes.

Annoyed by this fact DIG Paranthaman (Prabhu) decides to unravel the mystery that all this is not by the grace of god but by some individual. He and his team travel to the temple to find out the mystery only to come back confused.

Subulakshmi decides to take revenge on Kandhasamy by making him fall in love with her but Kandhasamy does not fall for her and that irritates her to the core. The two involve in a very high budget romance where in one instance they fly to a foreign country to have a cup of coffee.

As things go by the battle for supremacy amongst subulakshmi and Kandhasmy takes various dimensions and in the end the inevitable happens and subulakshmi falls really in love with him. PPP as the villain along with Alex as the money laundering agent in Mexico decide to eliminate Kandhasamy but of no avail.

Parandhaman then decides to take things on his own hand and whether he gets to unravel the mystery or not is the rest of the movie. Vadivelu as Thengakadai Thenappan provides the laugh riot which comes as a seperate track and this one could have been avoided which would have given this movie a more serious outlook to the entire film.

Director Susi Ganeshan who also appears in a chameo role in the movie could have thought of a story line much different from this as the movie reminds us instantly of two super-hit tamil movies of the past.
Chiyaan Vikram is at his usual best throughout the movie and special mention to Shriya Saran for carrying the glamorous role with ease. Mumaith Khan in an item number brings in lot of cheer to the front benchers with the "Pambara Kannale" re-mix song. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is brilliant at times and at the same time very ordinary in few places also.

"Kandhasamy" is a super hero inspired from old super-hit tamil movies.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
