Transfer news: Daniel Levy wants to keep Real Madrid target Gareth Bale at Tottenham, claims Glenn Hoddle
The Spurs winger is widely expected to depart for Real Madrid
Simon Rice
Simon Rice is Online Sports Editor for The Independent
Tuesday 27 August 2013
Despite spending vast sums of money that will be recouped if Gareth Bale departs White Hart Lane, Tottenham remain eager to hold on to the Wales international according to Glenn Hoddle.
The former Spurs manager claims he spoke with chairman Daniel Levy at the weekend and that there is a feeling that if Bale were to remain, the club could become a real force in the Premier League this season.
"I was at the Swansea game at the weekend and had a good chat with Daniel Levy," Hoddle told talkSPORT.
"He's ambitious and believes, if Bale was to stay, that Tottenham could go on and do something really strong in the Premier League."
Bale failed to report to training today and reports in Spain suggest a deal for £86m could be announced later this afternoon.
Should the 24-year-old leave - as it is understood he wants to - Hoddle believes Spurs must make more additions to the squad, despite already buying Paulinho, Roberto Soldado, Nacer Chadli and Étienne Capoue this summer.
"It's difficult for Daniel Levy to stop a player joining Real Madrid," said Hoddle.
"When they come knocking, and the lad wants to go, it's difficult to say no.
"I get the feeling there's more business to be done though. Levy wants to strengthen the squad.
"They needed Willian but he's gone to Chelsea, and he must get someone who can unlock the door.
"I've never seen a Spurs side look so powerful physically but they need someone, dare I say it like Gareth Bale, who can change the game.
"Now, if they are preparing for life without Bale, then they definitely need to go into the market and buy a replacement who can open the door, but you can't pick that sort of player up easily."
Roma's Erik Lamela and Steaua Bucharest centre-back Vlad Chiriches have been linked with White Hart Lane.

Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) and Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) say that a million TEU containers have been handled at Khalifa Port since its commercial opening.
Khalifa Port began commercial operations at the end of last year when all container traffic was transferred from the city centre port Zayed Port, to the country's new flagship Khalifa Port.
In October 2013, more than 100,000 TEUs passed through the port in just one month, and according to the operators these are very significant figures for Khalifa Port and the highest number of containers ever handled in a single month in the Emirate.
Mohamed Al Shamisi, Acting CEO ADPC said: 'One million containers is an important record for Abu Dhabi, not just Khalifa Port. It's a great achievement for everyone working at the port, demonstrating that the container terminal operations are efficiently and effectively handling the growing import and export volumes that the port was designed for.'
By 2030, as part of the drive to diversify the Emirate's economy away from hydro carbon revenue, Khalifa Port will be able to handle 15 million TEUs a year and together with the adjacent Kizad industrial zone, is expected to contribute 15% of non-oil GDP.

Anniyan (Outsider or Stranger) is a 2005 Indian Tamil psychological thriller film written and directed by Shankar and produced by V. Ravichandran of Oscar Films. Vikram stars as Ramanujam, an idealistic, law-abiding lawyer who suffers from multiple personality disorder and develops two other identities: a fashion model Remo and a grim reaper-themed vigilante serial killer Anniyan. Sadha plays his love interest Nandini. Vivek, Prakash Raj, Nassar and Nedumudi Venu appear in supporting roles while Cochin Haneefa, Kalabhavan Mani, Charle, Shanmugarajan and Saurabh Shukla make cameo appearances as delinquent citizens.
Anniyan sheds light on the increasing social apathy and public negligence, and attempts to address these issues which plague the society and hamper the development of the country. The film was conceived in mid-2003 during the post-production of Shankar's previous film Boys. While pre-production began in November 2003, principal photography commenced in March 2004 and the film was in the making for 14 months due to numerous production delays. The film was shot at Hyderabad, Thanjavur, Villupuram and Chennai while the song sequences were filmed in Amsterdam, Mumbai, Malaysia and Tenkasi.
Cinematographer V. Manikandan abandoned the project halfway through as the unexpected delays affected his other commitments; he was replaced with Ravi Varman. The technical departments consists of editing by V. T. Vijayan, production design by Sabu Cyril and stunt choreography by Peter Hein while the soundtrack was scored by Harris Jayaraj, making his maiden collaboration with the director. The film was touted to be the director's magnum opus and was budgeted at 263.8 million, making it the costliest south Indian film made during the time of its release.
Originally filmed in Tamil, the film was dubbed and released simultaneously in all the four South Indian states on 17 June 2005 while a Hindi version titled Aparichit was released a year later on 19 May 2006. Further, the film was also dubbed into French and released in French-speaking countries worldwide by Columbia Tristar. Anniyan received overall critical acclaim and positive audience response, and proceeded to become a commercially successful venture at the box office, grossing 450 million in its lifetime run. The film won a National Award for its special effects apart from winning eight Filmfare Awards and six Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.
Ramanujam (simply known as "Ambi"), an orthodox Iyengar, is a straightforward criminal lawyer who expects everyone to follow rules and brings lawbreakers to book. However, his efforts fail as the circumstantial evidence always favour the accused. His efforts to raise civic awareness among the public fail due to their lack of seriousness and pervasive corruption. Ambi is frustrated at his inability to bring about a change. Suppressed over a period of time, his anger manifests itself creating an alter-ego "Anniyan", a violent and deranged grim reaper-themed serial killer who punishes indifference towards social commitment. Anniyan creates a website and sends out postal cards to random people urging them to file complaints against violators. He compiles a database of wrongdoers from his site and executes them in succession. On receiving a card, Ambi lodges the details of the perpetrators and moves on with some hope.
Ambi is secretly in love with his neighbour Nandini, an aspiring carnatic singer, but never expresses his love due to fear of rejection. When his friend Chari, a policeman, helps him open up, he messes his proposal and Nandini rejects him as she finds him ridiculous. A distraught Ambi attempts suicide, almost drowning himself before ultimately changing his mind. Subsequently, he develops another personality of Remo, a ramp walk model who courts Nandini. Smitten by Remo, Nandini reciprocates his advances and eventually falls in love. Nandini's family arranges for her marriage with Remo.
While purchasing a plot of land for her dowry, Nandini undervalues the property to evade stamp duty. Ambi, who accompanies her for registration, decides not to help her. Later, when Nandini and Remo are on a date, Remo transforms into Anniyan and attempts to punish her for corruption. He outsmarts a group of professional martial artists who try to defend her. When he is about to kill her, an appalled Nandini calls out for Ambi. With a need arising for both his personas simultaneously, a confusion sets in and Ambi collapses. Nandhini takes Ambi to NIMHANS where he is diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. Through recovered-memory therapy, the psychiatrist uncovers his past to find that he had witnessed the tragic death of his 8-year-old sister Vidya due to civic apathy. The incident left deep scars in his mind and Ambi cites this as the reason for his lofty ideals. It is also discovered that while Anniyan and Remo are aware of Ambi as a separate person, Ambi is completely oblivious to such personalities within him. The psychiatrist declares that Remo will cease to exist if Nandini accepts Ambi's love and Anniyan would cease to exist only if the people reform. Nandini accepts Ambi, and Remo disappears.
Meanwhile, DCP Prabhakar investigates the murders, finds clues left behind by Anniyan and deciphers that they are punishments handed out to the victims. One of the victims Chockalingam, an errant catering contractor with the Railways, was Prabhakar's brother. Following a wide publicity stunt, Anniyan appears amidst the public and the press at the Nehru Stadium, donning a face-paint to conceal his identity. Admitting to the murders, he explains the rationale behind them and appeals that only when every Indian is responsible and sincere will the country prosper on par with developed nations. His methods draw both praise and criticism. Prabhakar tries to catch Anniyan, but he escapes.
Prabhakar digitally removes the face-paint from the recorded footage unmasking Anniyan and arrests Ambi. During the interrogation, Ambi's personality constantly changes between Ambi and Anniyan, resulting in ambiguity. Using a CCTV, Chari records the interrogation and uses it as evidence of Ambi's condition during his murder trial. Ambi is sentenced to psychotherapy and would be released when cured.
When Ambi is released after two years, his puritan adherence to protocol has diminished. He marries Nandini and while travelling on a train for their honeymoon, he notices a man (originally responsible for his sister's death years ago) drinking amidst fellow passengers. Suffering a relapse, he transforms into Anniyan and throws the man off the train, killing him. However, he hides it from Nandini, indicating that he has successfully blended Anniyan into himself instead of eradicating him.

In early 2001, director Shankar had conceived a science fiction film titled Robot with Kamal Haasan and Preity Zinta supposed to feature in the lead roles. But the production was cancelled due to various reasons: Haasan's unavailability of dates, creative differences with the actor and lack of funding. Shankar postponed the project indefinitely and made a coming of age film, Boys (2003).[2] When the post-production work of Boys was underway, Shankar was awaiting the return of its composer A. R. Rahman, who was then outside India, to complete the background score. It was during that time that Shankar had an idea for a storyline and called Vikram, who expressed enthusiasm in the subject.[3]
Following the release of Boys in August 2003, Shankar began work on his next directorial venture entitled Anniyan. It was initially mistaken to be Shankar's pet project Robot revived with a new title but was later proven untrue.[2] When questioned on how the film evolved, the director revealed, "As a common man, so many happenings in society disturb me. These leave scars on my mind. In fact, they are my creative spur. I react to social happenings on an imaginative plane."[4]
In an interview to The Hindu, Shankar elaborated on the message he conveys through the film:[5]
|I have travelled to many parts of the globe, especially the developed countries, and I am fascinated by the rapid strides that they have made in all fields. But back home, I am upset to see the neglect, poverty and the laid back approach of our youngsters. I often think that we are a lazy country. [...] My story is about a person who tries to bring (about) a change within our society. The issue that I am trying to solve is inherent weakness within our society and some motivation to move forward like other nations.
Describing the film as his "dream project", Shankar disclosed that it would be a fantasy thriller.[6][5] The film deals with a person suffering with dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as "multiple personality disorder" (MPD) or "split personality syndrome".[7][8] Coincidentally, another film titled Chandramukhi (2005), which featured Rajinikanth in the lead role and was released two months before Anniyan, was also based on split personality.[9]
Cast and crew[edit]
The film was announced in November 2003 with Vikram to feature in the lead role.[2] On casting him, Shankar remarked that he is the "life and soul" of Anniyan.[5] By late 2003, speculations were rife that Trisha has been approached to play the female lead.[10] Reportedly, the heroine role was offered to Aishwarya Rai, who was too busy to accept, and the role eventually went to Sadha.[11] Vivek, Prakash Raj and Nedumudi Venu play pivotal roles.[12] Charle, Kalabhavan Mani, Cochin Haneefa and Saurabh Shukla appear in cameos.[13][14][15]
The role of younger Ambi was played by child actor Hari Prashanth alias Viraj.[16] When he came to the dubbing studio to voice his lines, he was accompanied by his father, singer-dubbing artiste S. N. Surendar. On Shankar's insistence, Surendar too lent his voice, dubbing for Nedumudi Venu.[17] Malavika Avinash was offered the role of Vikram's mother; she rejected stating "I am too young to do a screen mom and too old to be a heroine!"[18] Mohan Vaidhya, a carnatic vocalist and part-time actor, played a supporting role of Sadha's father.[19]
Cinematographer Manikandan, who had earlier worked with Shankar when he shot the music video for the song "Secret of Success" in Boys, was recruited to handle the camera.[20] In October 2004, Manikandan walked out of the project citing date issues as the film went through multiple delays. Shankar replaced him with Ravi Varman who shot the remaining scenes.[21] The scenes were edited by V. T. Vijayan and the film had dialogue written by writer Sujatha Rangarajan.[5][22][23] While Sabu Cyril was the art director, the action sequences were choreographed by Peter Hein.[5] Raju Sundaram, Kalyan and Ahmed Khan choreographed the dance sequences. The film was produced by Viswanathan Ravichandran (known as V. Ravichandran) under his 'Oscar Films'.[24] Vikram's look in the film was created by make-up artiste Banu.[25]
The film was officially launched on 4 March 2004 with a puja at AVM Studios. As a sneak peek, life sized promotional stills decorated the studio showing Vikram in three get-ups: a voodoo hunter, a pious swami, and a bubbling youth. It was therefore believed that Vikram would be playing a triple role. The film's tagline read 'He who comes from hell is not afraid of hot ashes.'[6][12][26][27] The production began shortly afterwards in April 2004 and took 14 months to complete.[5] Ironically, during the launch, Shankar had expressed hope of completing the film in six months and releasing the film for Diwali 2004.[28] The film was shot in Amsterdam, Malaysia, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Tenkasi, Thanjavur, Villupuram and Chennai.[29][30][31]
"I observe a lot in life and it helps perform better. Illnesses like MPD have a clinical history and you will have to stick to it to avoid an 'atypical' performance. I studied the literature on MPD and was clear about retaining the identity of each character — be it the proverbial Ambi, the rampaging Anniyan or the cool Remo."
Vikram grew long hair for his look and to maintain the continuity, he allotted 18 months and 190 days of his call sheet without accepting other offers.[8][32] He did not want to reveal his look until the film was ready and hence avoided the media even after winning the National Film Award for Best Actor for the year 2003.[30] In the pre-climax scene, when Vikram's character is held in custody and enquired by Prakash Raj's character, he keeps switching between the characters Ambi and Anniyan. Dubbed the "chameleon act" in the media, Vikram claims to have completed the sequence in a single take.[33][34] The scene where Anniyan addresses the public was shot at a stadium in Hyderabad.[35] For another scene, a chemical tube which shows how hot a person is, was brought from Malaysia.[36]
In a fight sequence, Anniyan encounters about a hundred martial artists inside the fictional International Martial Arts School, Vodao.[37] The stunt scene was shot at the JJ Indoor Stadium in Chennai over a period of 25 days.[38][39] Peter Hein, the stunt choreographer, is a native of Vietnam. 127 professionally trained fighters were brought in from Vietnam for the shoot.[39][40] During the rehearsals, the rope to which the stuntmen were tied and hung upside down, gave in.[38] About a dozen stuntmen crashed down from the balcony injuring themselves badly.[41] The action sequence was shot using 122 cameras for employing the time slice technique, seen earlier in Hollywood films like The Matrix (1999), to achieve the frozen-time effect.[5] The special effects were provided by Big Freeze, London. Shankar had earlier toyed with the idea of time-slice and tried it while filming the song "Ale Ale" in his Boys. But instead of the usual 180° rotation, Anniyan had 270° rotation, a novelty.[42][43]
The song "O Sukumari", picturised on the lead pair, was filmed in a large tulip garden in Keukenhof near Amsterdam, Netherlands.[5][11][44] The song sequence was shot in May 2004 during the annual Netherlands International Flower Show called 'Floriade'.[45] As part of their role, both Vikram and Vivek who appear in the song were required to wear a panjakkacham and angavastram leaving most of their upper body exposed to the cold.[46] The team had initially hoped to film at two locations in Netherlands: Keukenhof and Vijfhuizen, but were denied permission by authorities as a previous film crew had damaged the habitat.[47][48]
"Iyengaru Veetu", a semi-classical song, starts off with a Tyagaraja Aradhana. For filming the song sequence, a scene of Thyagaraja Utsavam was recreated. The Utsavam is an annual musical event held in Thiruvaiyaru in which exponents of carnatic music participate.[49][50] The scene was conceived by violin maestro Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan, a regular participant at the actual event. Realistic sets were erected and leading carnatic vocalists Sudha Ragunathan, Sirkazhi G. Sivachidambaram, O. S. Arun, P. Unni Krishnan and instrumentalists such as violinist A. Kanyakumari and mridangam exponent Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman were recruited to add a touch of authenticity. The sequence was much talked about and was well appreciated.[51] The actual song which follows later was picturised on a set erected at AVM Studios made to look like an old traditional Iyengar home in Thanjavur.[52]
In December 2004, a ten day shoot was held in Mumbai for the item number "Kadhal Yaanai", featuring a top model whose identity was kept a secret as a suspense to kindle curiosity.[53] It was later revealed to be model turned actress Yana Gupta.[54] The song was filmed in a set erected in a studio to resemble a famous night-spot in London.[55] The song "Kannum Kannum Nokia" was filmed in Malaysia at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Petronas Towers. The shoot in the airport took place during the night. Ravi Varman, the cameraman, said in an interview that the song was shot like a commercial.[35][56] The song was also filmed at the Nokia Headquarters in Espoo, Finland.[57]
"Andangkaaka", a folk number rendered by Jassie Gift, was shot in a village near Sengottai.[58] For filming the song, a huge set was erected to resemble a village.[5] The sets were visualised and created by Sabu Cyril, the film's production designer. Sabu Cyril and Shankar adopted a village near Tenkasi and painted all the houses, roads, rocks and even a bridge in varied colours. They then hired hundreds of lorries and old model ambassador cars and painted faces on them. Hundreds of dancers joined the lead pair and the total cost of the song worked out to 1 crore.[59] In all, 350 houses were painted.[60]
Special effects[edit]
In the narrative, Ambi is referred to a website,
www.anniyan.com. The website takes visitors through the punishments that await sinners in hell. For designing the website, Shankar wanted to recreate hell and approached Tata Elxsi's Visual Computing Labs (VCL). Tata Elxsi has worked in Hollywood films like Spider-Man 3, Ghost Rider and Into the Blue. The team at VCL conceptualised and created a 'hell' in 3d animation. The punishments were taken from ancient scriptures. They also designed a Grim Reaper astride his bull who guides visitors through hell. Pankaj Khanpur, creative director of VCL said, "We tried to stay true to the Scriptures, while creating imagery that wasn't too gory. It was an interesting project since we had to visualise it all without any reference point." The animation was done in a span of three months.[61]
VCL also did the CGI for a cosmic zoom scene where the camera zooms from beyond the clouds to the Chennai city. Aerial views and paintings of the city were stitched together along with computer generated images (CGI) of clouds to create the long, one-piece camera zoom.[61] The scene where Anniyan addresses a packed audience in Nehru Stadium was filmed with the space empty. The crowd was created through visual effects using crowd multiplication methods.[62] L. I. Kannan, who would later work with Vikram as director in Karikalan which was stalled, worked on the special effects.[63]
By the time the production was nearing completion, the trade sources had estimated the film to cost around 120-150 million; but, as it happens in films directed by Shankar, the budget overshot.[5] Made at a cost of 263.8 million, Anniyan was touted as the most expensive South Indian film to be ever made during the time of its release.[24] It was also the first Tamil film and the first in South India to get institutional finance, a sum of 95 million from IDBI.[5][24][64] With the amount of hype the film generated in the media, theatre owners eagerly came forward and offered hefty prices as Minimum Guarantee (MG).[28] In Tamil Nadu, funds amounting to 120 million were gathered as MG and advance.[24] The MG raised through audio rights and movie distribution to theatres in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and overseas fetched a combined sum of 224 million.[65] Moreover, the producer had insured the film for 295 million prior to its release.[24][66] The rights for Aparichithudu, the Telugu-dubbed version, was bought by a producer for an all-time record price.[5][29] Meanwhile, the film was sold in Kerala for 13 million, which was again a record for a Tamil film there.[28] The US rights was bagged by the distribution house Bharat Creations.[67] With the theatrical rights and pre-release booking, the trade circuit predicted that the film would recover its cost within ten days of its release.[24]
Themes and influences[edit]
The methods of punishment meted out to the sinners by Anniyan in the film is based on Garuda Purana, a Vaishnavite purana which speaks of life after death and punishments for wrongdoers. Shankar pointed out that he "worked tirelessly day and night and intense research was done with the help of a professor in department of Vaishnavism in Madras University."[68] For filming scenes based on the punishments, buffaloes and snakes were transported in hundreds exclusively from Vellore and was shot for about three days.[69] Some punishments featured in the film were:
- Andhakoopam – The car owner who refused to help the accident victim is killed when Anniyan drives a herd of buffaloes into stampeding him;
- Kumbipakam – The food contractor is killed when Anniyan boils him alive in an oil pot;
- Krimibhojanam – The owner of the brake cable company is punished when Anniyan dumps leeches onto his body which suck out his blood.
Following the release of the trailer on 7 May 2005, the film was believed to be inspired Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.[70][71] Upon the film release, it was found to be heavily inspired by the 1998 novel Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon.[72] G. Dhananjayan compared Ambi to the protagonist in The Mask (1994), which is also about a mild-mannered man "changing into a one-man army, craving to see natural justice realised".[73]
The film's soundtrack album and background score were composed by Harris Jayaraj. The lyrics for the songs were written by Vairamuthu, Na. Muthukumar and Kabilan. The album marked Shankar's first collaboration with Harris Jayaraj; all his previous directorial ventures had A. R. Rahman composing the music.[5] The album was released on 26 April 2005.[74][75][76] Harris Jayaraj commenced the film's re-recording in April 2005 and took more than a month to complete, delaying the film's release.[77]
The film cleared the censors without any cuts and was rated "U" (Universal) by the Central Board of Film Certification.[78] While Shankar had hoped to release the film on Diwali 2004, there were numerous production delays which postponed the release date through early 2005.[26] While production was completed in March 2005, the re-recording which began in April took more time than anticipated lasting nearly 45 days with Harris Jayaraj being blamed for further delays.[79] After the film missed a few dates such as 20 May and 27,[70][80] the film was finally scheduled for 10 June.[81] But, Shankar released it a week later on 17 June as he considered 8 as his lucky number (1+7 yielding 8).[82]
The film was dubbed into other South Indian languages and was released simultaneously in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.[34] The film was also released in key overseas countries like the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Germany, Malaysia and Singapore. The film was released with 404 prints in Tamil and Telugu alone.[24] The film was distributed and released throughout Tamil Nadu by Oscar Films and in Kerala it was distributed by Thameen.[65][83] Later, the film was dubbed into French by Paramount Pictures.[84] Reportedly, Anniyan is the first Indian film to be dubbed into French and released in French-speaking countries worldwide by Columbia Tristar.[85] In May 2006, the film was further dubbed and released in Hindi as Aparichit: The Stranger.[86][87]
Critical response[edit]
The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu said that the movie works as it melds an interesting screen line with racy action. She also noted that the story resembled Shankar's Indian (1996) a lot while also bearing semblance to his Gentleman (1993). She remarked that the story and screenplay deserved to be lauded for its "ingenious sparks in narration" but problems arose with respect to its plausibility. She then declared, " [...] some of the best camera shots, stunts and locations on a mind-boggling scale have been showcased. If you enjoy magnificence in cinema you will like this Anniyan."[22] Krishnakumar wrote for Rediff that learning from the debacle of Boys, the director went back to his strength by taking a social theme, spicing it up and serving the perfect commercial fare. He added that in trying to explain multiple personality disorder in the simplest of terms, the director has only succeeded to a certain extent as a majority of viewers who are not that well informed might not even comprehend what is being said.[88]
Labelling the film as a "must see", a reviewer at Sify acclaimed that the film holds the viewers riveted with its racy narration, a relevant message backed with technical wizardry, never-seen before colourful song picturisation and particularly the performance of Vikram. Yet, he criticised that the film was too lengthy and the story too thin on logic.[89] The editorial board at IndiaGlitz called the film 'breathtaking' and wrote, "Anniyan in one word is brilliant. A film that is big in conception, immaculate in execution and totally stunning in its entirety. Anniyan is almost a surreal and phantasmagoric dream woven on an ambitiously expanded canvas that has never before seen on Indian films. Its technical sorcery (yes, that's the word) just takes your breath away."[90] Ramaa of Behindwoods summarised by saying that the film is "a good entertainer and worth the money."[91]
Reviewing Aparichithudu, the Telugu version of the film, The Hindu said that the movie was watchable.[92] Regarding the Hindi version of the film, Raja Sen of Rediff lambasted the pathetic dubbing though saying that it was refreshing and watchable, despite boasting of enough masala to make the viewers sneeze. Rating the film 2.5 out of 5 stars, he declared, "Overall, Aparichit is a slickly made, well-paced actioner that works quite well, despite the dub. The film is engaging and crisply scripted, and the action is never too excessive, lightened by jokes and general tomfoolery that never offensively interrupts the actual plot."[93]
With regards individual performances, Vikram's was unanimously lapped up by the critics. Malathi Rangarajan said, "It is another action-backed role that offers ample scope for Vikram, and the veteran keeps you spellbound throughout." Krishnakumar considered that though Vikram plays three distinct characters, Ambi was by far the best. He felt that the other two characterisation was over-the-top and was so only to establish a difference between the three. Sify said that the beauty of Anniyan lies in Vikram's characters and that Anniyan truly belonged to vikram, without whom the film was unthinkable. It added, "He is superb and does the roles with conviction, suaveness and chill into the three characters of Ambi, Remo and Anniyan that he portrays. It is a role that could have been reduced to a caricature by a lesser actor." IndiaGlitz said that it was an out and out Vikram film and as "Ambi, as Remo and as Anniyan, this amazing actor is just that --- amazing.". The Hindu remarked that Vikram stole the show while Raja Sen noted that if not for him, the film would have been a 'pretty ordinary actioner'. Sen further added, "The actor rightly overplays all three characters to near-perfection [...] and does magnificently, a Jim Carrey-esque chameleonic turn worth applauding."
While the film's technical aspects also received praise, their suitability in the film was questioned. Malathi Rangarajan wrote, "Sujatha's dialogue is an asset. Sabu Cyril's art contributes immensely to the film's richness. And capturing the opulence and intricacies are the cameras of S. Ravivarman and V. Manikandan. Peter Haynes' stunt choreography is a draw." Krishnakumar noted that Cyril's sets were grandiose and extravagant while Manikandan's camerawork was brilliant. Yet, he found that the stunts, though well choreographed, would have looked more in place in a supernatural film. S. Srinivasan felt that the film was technically brilliant and on par with Hollywood. The Hindu said that the extravagant sets and choreography of action scenes are extraordinary.
In a seminar on revisiting psychiatric disorders which centered around the films Chandramukhi and Anniyan, a psychiatrist noted that there were many logical faults.[94]
Box office[edit]
The advance booking for the film began on 14 June 2005 across Tamil Nadu and received overwhelming response from the audience which the trade circuit felt was "phenomenal".[95] The film took a "historic opening" worldwide and set multiple records at the box office. A day after release, the film was touted as a hit. In its opening weekend (17-19 June), Anniyan grossed 5.024 million from only six multiplexes in Chennai and reached #1 position at the Chennai box-office. In Sathyam Cinemas alone, the film grossed 1.4 million, the highest ever three day opening from a single multiplex in South India.[96][97][98]
A week after release, the film grossed more than 10 million in Chennai, 2.7 million in Sathyam Cinemas, 7.1 million from 10 prints in Salem and netted 4.1 million in Coimbatore which were all box office records. And beyond Tamil Nadu, the film earned the distributors 12.7 million from Nizam in Andhra, 5 million in Karnataka and 1 million from 3 screens in Mumbai.[99] The trade estimated that V. Ravichandran would get a distributor's share of 80-100 million in its first week from cinemas across Tamil Nadu. A week after its release, the Telugu-dubbed version Aparichithudu was declared a hit in Andhra Pradesh. Distributor Karunakara Reddy of Megha Films in Hyderabad quipped, "Aparichitudu has taken an opening just like a Telugu superstar film and should collect a distributor's share of Rs. 5-7 crores for the Nizam area alone."[96] In Kerala, Anniyan released in 35 screens across the state, receiving a "record opening" for a Tamil film and became the first Tamil film to get a distributors' share of 6.2 million in its first week.[100] A fortnight after its release, the film was labeled a "super hit" in Kollywood's half-yearly report compiled by film trade analyst for The Hindu Sreedhar Pillai.[101]
In exactly a six-week theatrical run, Anniyan netted 10.5 million with a distributor's share of around 5.2 million. It was an "all India record for collections, the highest share in least number of days from any theatre in India." However, in Tamil Nadu, collections began dropping five weeks after its release and it was estimated that the film would earn a share of 160 million.[102] In September 2005, the film's gross earnings surpassed the US$2 million milestone.[103] At the completion of a 50-day run at Sathyam Cinemas, Anniyan "recorded the highest 50 days collection for a Tamil film from a single screen in the world" earning 11.29 million.[104]
Anniyan was declared a blockbuster at the close of the year and, together with Chandramukhi, earned an estimated gross of 1100 million worldwide.[105] The film also collected a distributor's share of 20 million.[106] In Andhra Pradesh, Aparichitudu was named the biggest hit of 2005.[107][108] The film did better business than straight Telugu films.[109] It was the highest grosser among all Telugu films released that year.[110] In Kerala, the film ran for more than 150 days and grossed over 60 million, the most by a Tamil film there.[111] The film grossed 450 million in its lifetime run.[1]
The film received numerous awards and nominations. Although Vikram had hoped that the film would get him his second National Award,[112][113] the film won it's only National Award for its special effects.[61] It also won eight out of the total 15 awards awarded by Filmfare for the best of Tamil cinema. In a conversation with athlete Shiny Wilson, actor Jayaram remarked, "Anniyan was a runaway hit in Kerala. But if a Malayalam star had tried out an Anniyan-kind of role with a weird hairdo, it would have been a disaster!"[114]

Walgreen stores go offline due to technical glitch
(Reuters) - Pharmacy chain Walgreen Co suffered a system outage for several hours on Friday, taking all of its 8,200 pharmacy outlets offline and delaying prescription orders.
The company faced a "technical issue" during a system update and had to bring the entire system offline to resolve it, spokesman Michael Polzin said.
Some prescription orders may have been lost as a result of the outage, Polzin said, but most were queued and processed when the system was restored.
The pharmacy system was back online by 02:00 p.m. ET.
Shares of Walgreen closed at $61.05 on Friday on the New York Stock Exchange.
(This version of the story was corrected to say "orders may have been lost" from "orders were lost" in paragraph three.)

You don't have to look like an Under Armour mannequin to be an athlete. A lot of people probably think I'm not athletic or don't even try to work out or whatever, but I do. Just because you're big doesn't mean you can't be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn't mean you're going to have a 12-pack. I work out to make sure I can do my job to the best of my ability. Other than that, I'm not going up there trying to be a fitness model.

There's a stigma attached to writing about baseball's predicament on television. Mostly, the idea that if you write about it, you're proclaiming the death of the sport. It's fair that the people who love it (which includes me) defend it, because as we've seen with soccer, sometimes it's worth defending the thing that you like more than almost anything.
Fact is, however, that Major League Baseball has a national television problem. Sunday Night Baseball is doing fine, but ESPN still ...

Indian Wells: Federer on a Roll, Sania-Cara Reach Final
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Shruthi SU | March 14, 2014 10:52 PM EST
Roger Federer defeated Kevin Anderson 7-5, 6-1 on Thursday which not only earned him a semifinal spot at Indian Wells but also moved him up in the world rankings to no.5.
Federer, who is back in top form after winning the Dubai title recently, reached the semis by beating South Africa's Anderson in straight sets. The Swiss master said he is relieved after having a not-so-good year in 2013.
"It was a really good match for me," Federer said. "There is a sense of calmness to my game now. That grit and wanting to win badly feeling is out there, which was hard to find at times last year.
"You know, I gave myself chances and started with a few more returns in play at five-all. I was just also now in the match at that point, feeling good movement-wise, feeling good absorbing his pace, and then also being aggressive myself."
Federer will look to take all the positives ahead in the semis, where he will meet Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov.
"He was playing really well in practice," Federer said about his next opponent. "He really takes the ball early. He likes to take advantage of the fact when there is a short ball he just smashes it, and he's got a great serve. Definitely going to be some interesting shots out there."
Dolgopolov is coming from a straight set win over Canada's Milos Raonic 6-3, 6-4. The world no.31 was also responsible for the third-round upset of world number one Rafael Nadal.
"I'm quite pleased how I anticipated on his serve and have seen the toss of the ball and was really, really concentrated to get those serves back," Dolgopolov said after the quarterfinal win.
Federer is looking for a doubles win as well with compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka at the Indian Wells after defeating fourth seed pair of India's Leander Paes and Czech Republic's Radek Stepanek in the quarters. The Swiss duo beat Paes and Stepanek 3-6, 7-6 (6), 4-10 in 79 minutes. They will face Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares in the semis.
Meanwhile, despite Paes' exit, there is some good news for India from the Indian Wells as Sania Mirza and her doubles partner Cara Black from Zimbabwe defeated Lucie Hradecka and Jie Zheng 6-4, 3-6, 10-7 to reach the final.
The Sania-Cara pair has not been in top form this season, crashing out of the first round in four tournaments and reaching only the quarterfinals in the other two. The fifth seed Indo-Zimbabwean duo will now look to win the $5,946,740 hard court event.

Dear Readers,
u are such a brilliant actor, we love u as maham anga
You are talented but yet to prove in MP Between Ila Arun was Best as Maham Anga
jaya is talented actress but she is not that impressive in MP... Hope to see an improvement
I don't think she is doing such a good job in Maharana Pratap. She looks weak in comparison to the rest of the talented cast in the show. She is not OTT unlike other shows but is not excellent either.
she used 2 b gud in kyunki,i think thats where i saw her last tym, a gud actress neways

Originally written on Redlegs Review | Last updated 10/23/14
In honor of the draft taking place this week, I've compiled who I feel to be the best first round draft picks ever made by the Reds in franchise history. Here they are: RHP Gary Nolan (1966) - With the 13th pick in the '66 Draft, the Redlegs pegged Nolan from Oroville High School in Oroville, CA. He played a crucial role in the success of the Big Red Machine in the 1970s. Career stats: 10 yrs, 110-70, 3.08 ERA, 1.145 WHIP, 45 CG LHP Don Gullett (1969) - Cincy plucked the southpaw out of nearby McKell High School in South Shore, KY with the 14th overall choice. Like Nolan, Gullett too was a pivotal piece in the Big Red Machine in his stay in the Queen City from 1970-76 and would return to serve as the pitching coach years later. Career stats: 9 yrs, 109-50, 3.11 ERA, 1.227 WHIP, 44 CG SS Barry Larkin (1985) - The Reds pegged Larkin with the 4th overall pick out of the University of Michigan, and the rest as they say is history.

Gravity Falls: is just west of weird, slightly east of eerie and always north of normal in a fresh new comedy series that follows city kids and twins Dipper and Mabel Pines who are sent to spend the summer with their eccentric Great Uncle Stan (aka Grunkle Stan) who runs a tourist trap called The Mystery Shack in a remote northwestern town where nothing is what it seems. There are creatures in the forest, there are monsters in the lake and even time traveling adventures.

Best cartoon EVER, please do watch, everyone!
|Posted by AlphariusOrlando 1 year, 7 months ago
As a product of the 80's/90's cartoons, i can't stand the garbage that companies define as animation for the kids in this day and age. This is something else, jokes,quips,some characters are a bit heartless...and no cgi or fancy crap...just wholesome animation. This is something you can watch and laugh to no matter of age. Props to Disney
