Endhiran Movie Review

By Siddhartha
The costliest film ever made in Tamil cinema has finally seen the light of the day. The movie which has been in the making for close to three years is nothing short of a visual extravaganza. The only disappointment though is that in terms of story there is nothing great to boast off. This movie is definitely a landmark film in Tamil cinema but it is not the best Tamil film till date. The major talking point of the movie is the computer graphics that occupies the last 25 minutes of the film which leaves the audience in awe.

The movie is not a trademark Rajnikanth's movie but it has the trademark of Shankar written all over it. The introduction scene of Rajnikant is subdued and the movie is sans any punch dialog from the superstar. The movie begins with Dr. Vaseegaran (Rajnikanth) giving final touches to his dream project of making a Robot so that it can serve in the Indian Army. The Robot is names as Chiti (Rajnikanth). When Vaseegaran tries to give a demo to the approving authorities a road block is created by Professor Bohra (Danny Denzongpa) who incidentally happens to be his guru and is jealous that his student has succeeded in making a Robot.

Sana (Aishwarya Rai) plays the love interest of Vaseegaran in the movie and to be honest Aishwarya Rai looks more fresh and energetic compared to her appearance in Raavanan. Vaseegaran makes some fine tunning to Chiti and thats when problem starts for everyone as Chiti falls madly in love with Sana. Enraged by this Vaseegaran disowns Chiti but fate has other plans as Chiti lands in the hands of Bohra who converts him into a bad Robot.

The fun and action begins here and what follows is an entertaining fare for the viewers. The movie is no doubt a treat to the ardent fans of Rajnikanth but for others who step into the theatre with expectations it is a slight disappointment. In terms of acting Rajnikanth as Chiti scores full points. Aishwarya Rai and danny Denzongpa are mediocre in their roles.

Karunas and Santhanam who are supposed to provide the comedy track are used just as extras. The locales at which the songs are picturized is a visual treat. A R Rahman who tuned in hit numbers for the film has made sure that his background score ups the tempo of the movie. Editing by Anthony is slick and the action sequences by Peter Hein sets the pulse racing.

The simple storyline is well treated by Shankar but there are many loop holes in the screenplay which is overlooked. The only aim of the maker is to have a Rajni Vs Rajni duel and the duel has surprised everyone. The movie has a running time of close to 3 hours and it sure to reap in box-office returns.

"Endhiran" a must watch for Rajni fans and others can watch it for the scintillating computer graphics.

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
