Manmadhan Ambu Movie Review - A Complete Laugh Riot

By Siddhartha
The much awaited Kamal Hassan starrer "Manmadhan Ambu" has finally hit the screens and the viewers are mighty pleased with the outcome. The movie is written by Kamal Hassan and directed by K S Ravikumar. The actor-director combination after their successful ventures earlier has embarked on this project which is produced by Udayanithi Stalin of Red Giant Movies.

The movie is completely set in Europe and the story revolves around the three characters in Major R Mannar (Kamal Hassan), Madhanagopal (Madhavan) and Ambujakshi (Trisha). The movie begins with a disturbed Ambu flying to Europe for a holiday as her engagement with Madhan is on the rocks as Madhan gets too possessive on her. Major Mannar follows Ambu to Europe as the spy acting on behalf of Madhan.

Ambu does not travel alone but with her close friend Deepa (Sangeetha) who is a divorcee with 2 kids. Things go smoothly till Deepa's kids find out that there is something fishy about Major. When he successfully clears the air, the story marches ahead in full throttle and its non-stop comic entertainer from there till the end.

The twists in the tale are many but most of them are predictable which again has been handled deftly by director K S Ravikumar and has made sure that such predictable events does not pull the pace of the movie down. In the second half of the film, the fun gets too much too handle as every scene is loaded with humor. The ending though gets predictable but still a minor twist to it makes it a bit better.

In terms of acting none can be compared to the experience and skill of Kamal Hassan and he has continued his good work in this film also. Madhavan once again has proved his mettle as an actor who can perform comedy roles with ease. Trisha and Sangeetha however does not have enough scope in the movie to display their mantle.

Music by Devi Sri Prasad could have been better while editing and cinematography is commendable. Story has a logical flow to it while the supporting screenplay makes it even more interesting. K S Ravikumar has added one more to the list of hit films that he has directed. The supporting actors include Ramesh Arvind, Oviya, Urvashi, Caroline, Sriman and Usha Uthup.

"Manmadhan Ambu" is a complete laugh riot.

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
