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.

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.
