Ayan Movie Review - Old Wine In A New Bottle

By Siddhartha
Sun Pictures "Ayan" which has Surya and Tamannaah in the lead has nothing new to offer it is the same old story of gang wars and this time around the war happens with the backdrop as smuggling business. Director K.V.Anand after his successful "Kana Kandein" was expected to come up with a story line that was refreshing but in the end he has failed miserably especially in the screenplay and execution of the same.

Deva (Surya) is introduced as a high-class foreign return guy only to find out that he is part of a pirated CD business headed by Doss (Prabhu who fits into this role with perfection) and he is returning with a pirated copy of a yet-to-be-released movie which is then duplicated at a local computer centre with the help of henchmen like Dilli (Karunas).

The officials sniff something wrong and come to the computer centre and deva decides to surrender before the police where he is saved by a stranger Chitti (Jagan) who admits to the crime and later Chitti and Deva become friends and they go in unison to all the dealings carried out on behalf of Doss and thats where we get to know that they are into organised smuggling trade of diamonds.

Doss is averse to only one thing that is drugs. When Dilli brings in a customer to smuggle drugs doss gets wild and rejects the deal. At the same time in the market there is a rival gang headed by Kamlesh (Debutant Akashdeep Saigal) who wants to be the king-pin of the smuggling business and his main enemy is Doss.

Deva then gets to meet Yamuna (Tamannaah) who happens to be Chitti's sister and doing her B.Pharm final year (she hardly has a scene where she goes to college) and they instantly fall in love with each other.

When all goes smooth and we wonder whats the twist in the tale the director brings in the surprise element which has been well planned and later there is a tragedy that occurs and which fuels the enemity between Deva and Kamlesh which is shown in the rest of the movie.

The movie begins at a very brisk pace but fails to keep up the momentum within minutes into the movie. Tamannaah has got nothing major to do in a movie that revolves entirely around Surya. Renuka as Surya's mother is totally wasted in the role and the same can be said of Kalai Rani who comes as a brothel owner.

Ponnvannan as the customs officer has come out with a mature performance. Music by Harris Jeyaraj disappoints as a whole. Cinematographer M S Prabhu has done a commendable job and he has captured the natural beauty of Tanzania in style. Editor Anthony has tried his level best to make this movie a complete mass entertainer in which he has been unsucessful.

On the whole "Ayan" is nothing but Old Wine In A Brand New Bottle which fails to kindle any interest amongst the masses.

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.
