[KOLLYWOOD WAKES UP TO ONLINE CONTENT. Chennai Times 30-11-2013.]  

                                                  

நடிப்புத் துறையில் ஆர்வம கொண்டதமிழ்  இளைஞர்கள் “தனிமையாக இருப்பதில் மகிழ்வு கொள்கிறோம்” என்ற தலைப்பில் தொடர் ஒன்றை தயாரித்து இணையத்தின் மூலமாக வெளியிட்டுள்ளார்கள். இவர்களது சிறப்பான முயற்ச்சியை, நாம் மட்டும் பாராட்டவில்லை புரட்சிக்கவிஞர், உலக மக்கள் போற்றும் மாமேதை பாரதியாரும் பாராட்டியுள்ளார். 

“மறைவாக நமக்குள்ளே பழங்கதைகள் சொல்வதிலோர் மகிமையில்லை; திறமையான புலமையெனில் வெளிநாட்டோர் அதை வணக்கம் செய்தல் வேண்டும்.” என்று மகா கவி பாரதி கூறியுள்ளார்.

உலகத் தமிழர்கள் எல்லோரும் நமது இளைஞர்களின்   சிறப்பான நடிப்பைப் பார்த்து பாராட்டுவோம்.

It was only recently that everyone in Kollywood, from stars to directors, technicians and even production houses, got on to the social media bandwagon. Now, many are realizing exploring more options when it comes to online content.
   

Two weeks back, a leading music label began streaming a web series on their YouTube page. And, now, one of the oldest production houses in India announced that it is entering the digital domain with Ithuvum Kadanthu Pogum, a 55-minute short feature film.
   

Says Aparna Guhan of the production house, “We realized that we have fans worldwide and the Internet is a strong medium to connect with them. So, we are planning to create content for our online platform. Unlike our traditional content, this will be more relatable to the youth, as it is young people who are online.” She adds that they are considering a television screening of the film as well.
   

Meanwhile, Swaminathan Raamanathan, who is one of the creators of Happy To Be Single, a web series targeted at the 20-35 age group, says that their attempt has received positive response. “We are picking up slowly in terms of numbers, especially because we do not have any known faces in the cast. However, celebrities like Venkat Prabhu, Anirudh, Amy Jackson, and Balaji Mohan promoted our series on their social media pages, and we have managed to get over 60,000 views for the two episodes and promo songs which we have streamed so far,” informs Swaminathan.

He says that the challenge for any Internet-related content is to get the intended audience interested and he claims that their show has been able to do so as their fan following on Facebook shot up to 6,000 in the week between the first and second episodes. Having tied up with a well-known music label has also enabled them to monetize, he says. “We are generating revenue for the clicks which we are sharing with the label,” he says.

Let us all appreciate the Young Tamil actor’s interest for getting the large number of audience support for their serial “Happy to be Single.”

Whether Karunanidhi and Kanimozhi, had misappropriated 200 crore in World Classical Tamil Conference.

Whether Karunanidhi and Kanimozhi, had misappropriated 200 crore in World Classical Tamil Conference.

The Madras high court has ordered a vigilance probe into a complaint that former chief minister M Karunanidhi had misappropriated funds meant for the World classical Tamil conference held in Coimbatore in June 2010. Justice R Mala, before whom the petition filed by advocate B Ramesh Babu came up for hearing on Monday16-9-2013, said an expeditious inquiry should be conducted into the allegation and that a case should be registered if commission of any cognizable offence was made out.

According to Ramesh Babu, while the then chief minister Karunanidhi claimed that 380 crore was spent on the conference, a later press release claimed 301 crore had been spent. Information obtained under the RTI Act showed only 151.22 crore had been spent. Another RTI plea revealed that 262.63 crore was spent on the meet. Ramesh Babu claimed that Karunanidhi and his associates, including his daughter Kanimozhi, had misappropriated more than 200 crore.
   

State public prosecutor S Shanmugavelayutham said that an inquiry has begun.

We can get the true pictures only after Vigilance enquiry. Let us wait.
