Thuppakki Movie Review

By

A R Murugadoss and Vijay coming together for the first time in an all-out action entertainer somehow seems to be a disappointment considering the hype this "Thuppakki" carried on its shoulders. Disappointment for the reasons: it has no great story, screenplay needs to be fine-tuned a lot and overall the film is made keeping in mind the hard core Vijay fans as its target audience which does not augur well for the average movie viewer.

Storyline: Jagadish (Vijay) an army officer comes home to Mumbai for his annual vacation to spend time with his family. He gets to meet Nisha (Kajal Agarwal) who happens to be his prospective fiancee. One fine day when he is around with his friend Sathyan, he accidentally runs into the bad guys and its action time from thereon until he takes his revenge on all of them including the big boss of the bad guys Vidyut Jamal.

Drawbacks: The first half could almost be non-existent as there is nothing in it. Infact, except for few scenes, the entire first half can be scrapped and it will still not impact the flow of the film. Screenplay with too many unwanted scences drags the movie a bit. Music by Harris Jeyaraj couldn't get any worser. "Google Google" song is the only saving grace for Harris which gets spoiled by some poor choreography.

Highlights: Vijay's acting, Santhosh Sivan Cinematography and action sequences that would suit the taste of die-hard Vijay fan.
Duration of the film: 2 hours and 45 minutes
Box-office prospects : Hit

Verdict: This "Thuppakki" fires with a dummy bullet. This bullet seems to be a real one for Vijay fans only.

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
