It is quite a long read for me yet a wonderful book on American History. Starting with the story of the native Americans to becoming an European settlement; civil war to independence; industrialisation to slavery; world wars to the war on Iraq; Antislavery movement to the economic divide; Internal to external affairs; It literally covered everything starting George Washington to George Bush Jr.

Excellent book to understand the evolution of USA and the politics around. It not only captures the socio political situations of America but also unfolds the concurrent politics prevailing in other countries simultaneously. My sincere thanks to the author for adopting simple style to explain serious issues.

A wonderful book on American history timelined by presidents.
Dollar Desam.. Simply a sooper book to know about America's full history.
Start from around the year 1500 when columbus find the place to the recent Iraq war it was described.
We can know the wars America involved(alomost all major wars in the last one century), and the benefit the country got because of each war. It might be the only country where the ups and downs of the country decided by only WAR..
And sooper naration by the author in simple terms..
Must Read for everyone. Brings out the real face of America. After reading this book, you'll understand whether America is a good guy or a bad guy? I wish all our history books were written by this guy. Excellent style of reading. Couldn't keep the book down. My perception of America changed completely after reading this book.

Plot[edit]
In the city of Chennai, a traditional rivalry has always existed between the students of Pachaiyappas and Loyola colleges. Karthik (Vineeth) is a poor orphan who studies in Pachaiyappa's College, lives in a rented room, travels by the bus, hangs out with a number of friends, and is the captain of his football team. He is also a good poet and daydreams about his dream girl. Arun (Abbas), on the other hand, comes from a rich and wealthy family, studies in Loyola College, drives his own car, hangs out with number of friends, and is also the captain of his football team. In a nasty intercollege riot, Arun saves Karthik's life. So in return, Karthik lets Arun win in a soccer game because he thinks Arun can't take losses easily. Arun realizes that the victory is because of Karthik's sacrifice.
They become good friends, setting a good example of friendship to others in their college. Things go smooth until a new girl Divya (Tabu) joins the college. Both Arun and Karthik fall in love with her, but neither of them realizes that both are in love with the same girl. Following a sequence of events, when they realize that both are loving the same girl their friendship is strained and they fight with each other. The end of the movie shows whether Divya will fall in love with one of them and whether their friendship will be affected forever. At the end, Divya says that she likes them both but does not want to choose one, thereby losing the other and disrupting their friendship. Hence the film ends with Arun and Karthik regaining their friendship.

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
Kathir while writing the script 'wanted some drama rather than plain love and so wrote a story of warring colleges and two boys in them'. He narrated a five-minute plot summary to Kunjumon who was impressed with it and insisted Kathir to change the film's title to Kadhal Desam instead of its original title Kalloori Saalai.[1]
Casting[edit]
Mumbai model Abbas was enjoying his holidays in Bangalore during his holidays and hanging out at a cybercafe near Brigade Road, when he bumped into director Kathir, who asked him to act in his Tamil film.[2] Initially reluctant due to his limited knowledge of Tamil, he opted out and left for his college in Mumbai. A year later, Abbas received a call from producer K. T. Kunjumon asking him to come over for a screen test as a result of Kathir's insistence.[3]Vineeth was signed on to play another lead role in the film due to his association with Kunjumon, having previously worked in the 1993 Shankar-directed film, Gentleman.[4] Tabu was signed on to make her debut in Tamil films and worked on the film alongside Mani Ratnam's Iruvar. Then struggling actor Vikram had dubbed his voice for Abbas, while Baahubali-famed dubbing artist Shekar Sega dubbed the voice for Vineeth. A. Karunakaran, who became a successful director in Telugu cinema started his career as clap assistant with this film.[5]
Filming[edit]
Kathir mentioned that he dreamt of a 'beautiful place full of young people' and was inspired by College Road in Chennai, with a setting by the beach which formed as 'opening visual idea' for the film.[1][6] Since it did not exist, he ordered it to be created for the film, costing Rs. one crore (ten million rupees).[6][7] The film also managed to convince Pachaiyappa's College and Loyola College to give them rights to use their college names in the films, focussing on the rivalry between the institutions.[8] Filming mainly took place in and around the cities of Chennai, Ooty, Mudumalai, Bandipur, Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam.
Release[edit]
The film went on to become a large commercial success.[9] The climax of the film broke a taboo in the Tamil film industry, where a love triangle would be decided with a happy ending.[10] Post-success, Abbas revealed that he felt that 'Mustafa Mustafa' song catapulted him to stardom and enjoyed a strong female base after Kadhal Desam.[11] However, a critic from Indolink.com suggested that 'Katheer's direction lacks the punch and innovation. The narration is slow, incoherent, and shaky', though mentioned there is 'reasonably good acting by Vineeth, Abbas is OK for a newcomer and Tabu looks ravishing'.[12]
The film won A. R. Rahman his fifth consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Music Director in Tamil.[13][14] K. V. Anand also received the Screen Award South for Best Cinematography for his work in the film.[15] The film was dubbed and released in Telugu as Prema Desam and became an equally big success.[1][16] The Hindi dubbed version, Duniya Dilwalon Ki, however, did not perform as well.[17]
The success of the film prompted Rahman to collaborate with Kathir again in Kadhalar Dhinam (1999) and Kadhal Virus (2002). As a result of respect for his first director, Abbas made a guest appearance in the latter film. The film triggered off a string of youth-based stories in films with Minsara Kanavu and Ullaasam featuring similar story lines.[18]

The soundtrack for the film was composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics penned by Vaali. The soundtrack was also released in Telugu as Prema Desam and in Hindi with the title Duniya Dilwalon Ki, with lyrics written by P. K. Mishra and Mehboob Kotwal.
Kathir revealed that first song to be recorded was 'Kalloori Saalai', he wanted it to be a fast number, but wanted it to start the song 'with a melodious line'. Rahman asked for a dummy lyric for it which started with 'Inbathai karuvakkinal penn', which Vaali liked and retained it for the final cut as well.[1]
For the song 'Musthafa Musthafa', Kathir wanted a song on the lines of old song 'Paravaigal Meethu' which was about friendship. Rahman gave him the tune during a flight travel which Kathir liked it.[1]
