Rettaisuzhi Movie Review

By Siddhartha
Two groups of children locking horns with each other and at the same time two old men behind these two groups. In comes a love story which unites them all and the enemity is forgotten in the end for a happy ending. Does the above mentioned storyline seem all too familiar? Yes, it is nothing new but a slight change made to the hit film "Pasanga". The only difference between "Pasanga" and "Rettaisuzhi" is that the former was a fresh idea while the latter is a copy which fails to even qualify to be compared.

The team that made "Rettaisuzhi" can boast of big names like K Balachander, Bharatirajaa, Director Shankar, Karthik Raja etc but they were no match when compared to the small names that made an interesting film in "Pasanga". Ramasamy (Balachander) and Singaravelan (Bharatirajaa) lock horns 40 years ago due to an election result. The enemity continues and ardently followed by the tiny tots in the village.

Suseela (Anjali) a relative of Singaravelan is the school teacher in the village and her love interest happens to be Moorthy (Debutant Ari) who happens to be brought-up by Ramasamy. The fighting tots in the village forget their enemity to join the lovers and they plan to bring the two old men together. There is enough scope for twists and entertainment in a story like this but director Thamira has failed to understand the plot and it seems that he has been backing the acting of the two legends of tamil cinema to sail through in the movie.

The disappointment is how did Director Shankar accept to produce this movie? Probably, he might have been busy with "Endhiran" which would have made him give the nod without even listening to the story. In terms of acting Balachander fails squarely whereas Bharatirajaa has proven his class. Anjali after "Angadi Theru" does not have the requisite scope for acting while Debutant Ari looks like an one-film actor. Music by Karthik Raja is a disappointment but nothing as bad when compared to the man at the helm Thamira.

Rettaisuzhi - a movie to be forgotten at the earliest.

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
