College rock fans should all go out in droves, and older Edheads should take their kids. And sing along. Watching Dickinson finally go wild with Hallowed Be Thy Name in high-quality digital transfer and great audio in a theatre is worth the price of admission. And the rest ain't bad either.
Kamal Haasan's list of controversies is as long as his impressive filmography.
This is music with a swagger. A complete crowd pleaser which has no artistic aspirations.

Meghave Meghave directed by Nagendra Prasad is bogged down by ordinary performances from artists and weak handling of an ordinary story. Prasad proves that he is yet to learn the tricks in direction. The film drags from the first sequence. Gracy Singh makes a forgettable debut in this film.
Sarim Momin, 30, who wrote the lyrics of Jana Gana Mana Rann, tries to defend his work, and tells us why it's just a 'film song'.
