Poo Movie Review

By Siddhartha
Nesagee Cinema’s latest offering “Poo” is an adaptation of the short story “Veyyilodu Poi” written by S. Tamizhselvan. Director Sasi who had given hit films like Sollamale, Roja Kootam and Dishyum has tried his hand in a story that is very realisitic and rustic in nature. The credit has to be given to the director for choosing such a subject but when it comes down to the screenplay a lot is left to be desired especially when the final product falls in the genre of commercial cinema.

Mari (Debutant in tamil cinema “Parvathy”) is head over heels in love with her maternal uncle’s son Thangarasu (Srikanth) right from her childhood and her ambition in life is to marry thangarasu. The director had decided to give the viewer a realistic potrayal of the mindset of a village girl who spends most of her time thinking about her sweetheart. The screenplay revolves mainly around Mari that the movie literally stands out for the performance of the new comer Parvathy. The actors in the movie have lived their charecters as each and every member of the star cast have given a wonderful performance.

Parvathy potrays the charecter assigned to her with finesse that in certain scenes one really feels for her ignorance towards things happening to her and Srikanth as thangarasu infact plays second fiddle to parvathy in the scheme of things. Cinematographer P.G.Muthiah has captured the rustic looks of the villages perfectly as is the Art director K. Veerasamar who has made sure that his department adds more value to the final outcome. Music director S.S. Kumaran has also come up with a respectable score but one hopes that he has more to deliver in the future.

Director who had decided to make this movie on the Commercial genre should have given more importance to the screenplay as things tends to drag too much to the liking of the viewer. Though this movie is not the run-of-the-mill types but in certain periods one feels really let down towards the treatment given by the director.

On the whole a movie not for the masses but for the select audience and the critics who were waiting for a movie which stands out from the ordinary.

Encourage Employees to Learn by Sharing Your Own Growth

By
As a manager, it’s your job to make sure everyone on your team keeps learning. But beyond encouraging people to take classes and go to conferences, how do you do it? A good starting point is to talk about your own development. When managers open up about their personal areas for improvement, it becomes more acceptable for everyone else to do the same. Ask yourself these questions, and share the answers with your team: “What areas do I need to grow the most in? What insights have I found helpful in accomplishing these goals?” And when you come back from a workshop or training, don’t resort to the typical “It was interesting” summary — be specific. For example, you might say, “I thought I was a good listener, but now I can see that this is a growth area for me. The training showed me new ways to interact with others, and although they aren’t necessarily comfortable for me, I’m going to try them out.” Adapted from " Make Sure Everyone on Your Team Sees Learning as Part of Their Job ,...

The Solution to a Tough Problem Isn’t to Overthink It

By
We all like to consider ourselves smart, but raw intelligence isn’t everything. When we get stuck on a problem, sometimes it’s because we’re overthinking it. Pay attention to when focused thinking isn’t getting you anywhere; perhaps it has turned into obsessing over the same answers or approaches. Consider whether experimenting with a new strategy or talking ideas through with others might be more likely to result in success. Take breaks to let your brain relax and get unstuck. Expand your range of skills for reaching insights and coming up with new ideas; don’t be someone who sees every problem as a nail because your only tool is a hammer. And when you do find yourself ruminating, disrupt it by doing a few minutes of an absorbing activity, such as a puzzle. This can be a surprisingly effective way to break your brain out of a rut.
