Ajith Kumar - The Ultimate Star



Some love him, Some hate him. Some love to hate him. Some call him a man with headweight, Some call him the most kindest man ever. Whatever people call him, We call him THALA, THE ULTIMATE STAR.





Ajith Kumar aka Ajith born on May 1 which is no coincidence for the hardwork & determination of this man. Tell the name "AJITH" anywhere & the immediate reply you get is SELF-CONFIDENCE.

A man with no cinema background, no godfathers to push him in, Ajith has really come a long way. Starting his carreer with a telugu film "Prema Pustakam" in the year 1992, slowly & steadily he built his carreer through hits like Aasai, Kadhal Kottai etc.

A part of the industry which was initially awry with his aryan looks then came to terms on seeing his performance. His first solid hit was Aasai hten followed by the blockbuster trend setting KADHAL KOTTAI. It fetched the director a national award for the best movie. He continued with his love stories & did successful movies like Aval Varuvala, UnnaiThedi & Kadhal Mannan. He also shared the screen with other actors like Ullasam with Vikram, Anandha Poongatre & Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen & with Parthiban in Nee Varuvai Ena. He also acted a movie each with Prashanth & Vijay.

In 1999, Ajith shook the entire Film Fraternity & made everyone look upto him with his film VAALI, which remains on the best films in tamil cinema. The movie enjoyed a superb bull run at the boxoffice for around 270 days. The film made AJITH an overnight star & proved people that he can do kind of a movie. He is also reffered to the HANDSOME MAN OF KOLLYWOOD & the above picture is a good example for that.

Then he followed with continous success like DHEENA, CITIZEN, POOVELLAM UN VAASAM etc. His recent blockbuster VARALAARU is another feather to his cap & brought out another acting dimension of his.

Apart from being a superb actor, AJITH is a Formula 3 driver & has shown his class there too. He is such a good gentleman that he sends a flower to even his strongest of critics. He enjoys a tremendous fanbase across the country of nearly 58000 fanclubs, which the actor has converted in social service clubs. He runs the MOHINI-MANI foundation through which he runs the PLANTING OF TREES movement.

Truly a multi faceted personality.

He has inspired me throughout & has inspired a millions across here. His never say die attitude is something that people all across admire in him & aspire to be like him. His generosity is out of the world & his commitment is something that we must look upto & take a leaf out of it.

He has an exciting array of films lined up for release & it is sure that he will continue his magic at the boxoffice.

No Wonder he is called THE KING OF OPENING.

As an ardent fan of THALA, it was my long wish to publish a blog on him. Its happened now.

A tribute to one of the finest actors in Tamil Film Industry & A TRUE GENTLEMAN.

The best way to finish this is with the all time favorite punch line THALA POLA VARUMA!!!

Saurav Ganguly-The Cindrella Man Of Modern India


Saurav Ganguly- Not many would have expected him to make such a fantastic & one of the best comebacks of recent times.As a die hard fan of DADA, I expected him to make a comeback just like millions of fans across the nation did.


Those who have seen the movie CINDRELLA MAN would relate the movie to Saurav's fantastic comeback. It was a movie about the life of a man who was dumped by his own people & how he won all the odds & again became a champion boxer. The same has happened to DADA too. He was thrown out of the team & it is his sole grit & determination & hardwork that has earned him a place in this team.

An Indian team that was struggling in South Africa was strengthened by the arrival of Saurav for the test series. He smashed an unbeaten half century to script a fantastic comeback. Since then, The PRINCE OF KOLKATA has gone from strength to strength. Then came the ODI series against the WestIndies which saw DADA plundering the Windies bowling attack. He did extremely well in the entire series. Nest came the series against SriLanka which saw DADA win the MAN OF THE SERIES award for his superb performance. The same series saw Saurav Take a blinder of catch to dismiss Sanath Jayasurya At Goa. He proved everyone that he's still fit & has a lot to offer to Indian Cricket. His shot selection was superb & was at his sublime best.

This was enough for DADA to prove everyone that he's still the best man of Indian Cricket & also to make his critics eat humble pie. As expected, The ad agencies made a beeline to him with some of the biggest companies wanting to make him their brand ambassador. One of them being PUMA, The German Apparel Giant.

He was an automatic selection for the ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP in the WestIndies, where he continues his good form. He made a cautious yet steady 66 against Bangladesh.
Millions of fans are hoping that DADA will continue his good run & make BIG runs in the forthcoming matches.

We must salute this champion cricketer for his determination & take a leaf out his book. He is a real tiger & has inspired me throughout my life & will continue to inspire us throughout.

Rahul Dravid once said, "On the off side, first there is god, & then there is Saurav Ganguly".
Its time we change it, "On the off side, there is DADA & no one else".

Hail the ROYAL BENGAL TIGER.

This is my tribute to a man who made his way into the team & carved a niche for himself & a role model for millions in the country.
