Is Sirasa , MTV and Shakthi, Getting Bad to Worse ?


Thanks You very much for visiting here.

Now, it’s Only a MONTH time for this blog. Most people visiting here are not from Sri Lanka. I try my best to keep them alive as I can with Global Issues. So with Sri Lankan issues for locals. There are many links I’ve found and I was unable to connect them to this blog till now. Then, in next 2-3 weeks you’ll able to visit many precious sites via this blog.

From today’s onwards anyone can post a comment here. Use that opportunity to share information with others. Thanks,


Is Sirasa , MTV and Shakthi, Getting Bad to Worse ?


Sirasa is making a very big mistake not coming to DTH ( Direct To Home ) platform. These days DTH system is expanding entire country in speed. Mostly, Dialog TV. Many people who are using DTH system are not going to switch on normal antenna to watch Sirasa TV or MTV Sri Lanka. (Even I , didn’t see any program on Sirasa , after the India-Sri Lanka matches shown before the world cup ) That not means the programs on Sirasa are getting worse.
When we talk about MTV Sri Lanka, it can’t see many people out side the urban areas like Colombo. If it’s there on DTV or DTH, number of viewers will getting high many part of the Island. The Maharaja Organization says, they’ll not come to DTH platform as it is a pay system and Sirasa is Free to air (FTA). But, It can’t see out side Colombo and Kandy even paying. The reason, they are showing to not come to DTH is not the real one. They are afraid to show their channel to other countries. As they’re copying their program day and night 24/7. Now, Maharaja Network is ashamed to show their channels to outsiders.
The tags , News 1st, We report You decide ! etc. are the copy format from BBC and Fox. So, Indian Idol or AI, goes as Super Star. And all the Hindi Dubbed programs not to the standard form like original. That’s why they are refused to come to the DTH platform. They are very much afraid, nothing else as they have said. They feels Guilty !. It’s a very good opportunity to show MTV Sri Lanka to other part of the Island without towers. They’re not using that opportunity to the reasons that we’ve mentioned earlier. Now, the downtime comes to the Sirasa , with many people refusing to watch some programs, those are much popular early days, like Super star. Now, we can’t find a one who watch that Super star without their own relatives.
With the development of technology, every outcome will change without anyone’s knowledge. Then, it’s time to come forward Maharaja Networks as every others to DTH platform, especially in Dialog TV, witch runs the No.1 Company in Sri Lanka, Dialog Telecom. Anyone can’t refuse that.

Local Channels on Dialog TV lineup,

When we talk about Dialog TV, They must use a UHF antenna throwing the VHF antenna away from getting signals to Rupavahini and Channel Eye. ( But, it’s not the real way, I’m talking about temporary solution.) The signal quality is very low of the most important channel in Sri Lanka, Rupavahini. And, after that DTV must try include all the local channels on it.Like, ArtTV, Max and ETV. If someone say , that channels are showing the programs that shows in other satellite channels, then there must be a problem, It, can’t happen. Because that happen many times. Even, Channel Eye, a local channel, shows SRTV , But SRTV is their in DTV lineup without problem.If so how DD sports in Indian Lineup. If we say there is a problem, many times some channels are showing same program even LIVE. So, BBC, CNN and Al-Jazeere. It’s their duty to show every local channels in their lineup without refrain.


New Coming Channels on Dialog TV in the future !

Dialog TV management is trying to give nearly 72 channels before the end of 2007. There’ll be 4 Transponders and each one contain 18 channels. But the channels to add in the future yet to decided. Then, still we can’t imagine what the next 15 channels are. Most of them must be Disney Channels. Also, Fox and MTV Europe. We can see that in months to come, So, How Sirasa‘ll have been thrown away by the people with the development of DTH systems.

How many number of channels will be their on Dialog TV (DTV) line up ? It goes to 120 channels in months to come ( But not in 2007). The management of DTV has said before this year. Then 50 channels to come. We wish most of them come in English. Not from the languages that we can’t get as Sri Lankan.

Dialog TV And LBN , Sri Lanka Now Show " Indian Idol Season 3 " On Sony Set - Charu Out

Charu Semwal Is Out of the Indian Idol Top 9

The Top 10 have been selected for the Indian Idol Season 3. That shows in Sri Lanka on Dialog TV and LBN Cable TV On Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9.00 pm onwards. Now one of them has been out and Only the Top 9 remain. But, the problem is Why always only the Girls are going out from the contest. There are some who can't compare with Charu Semuwal who had to out today ,


Charu's Dream Shattered

Charu was at danger zone today and she cant belief that she could be out of the Indian Idol.Even when the result was announced she appealed to the janta to give her a final chance. Charu told that this stage means a lot to her and she was not ready to leave it.
It was very pathetic to see that in every gala we are losing girls one by one. Just 3 girls left out of 7.This time all the 3 girls : Charu, Deepali and Puja was in danger zone.It's very shocking that inspite of the electrifying performance yestarday, Puja was in danger zone today.Although Prashant and Abshishek's performance was not that satisfactory,they were safe.

That, i've got from a blog in India.but for me, Abshishek is a much talented performer with comparing Chang and Prashant.But, It's very sad to see Deepali and Puja was on the Danger Zone.As Sri Lanka,Why can't any girl to be able get enough SMS.

I invite you to poll for a one, who has been get the tittle of Indian Idol as your Opinion.The slot for that will appear on the top.

( Open For comments )

I extract some comments from around the world who have made comments on Charu's message bord for your knowledge.

Plz Stop Indian Idol Artificial Show:
Don't worry Charu we are with you and all world with you.

You know Unsucesse is the Ladder of Success. Similarly, Ambram Lincon defeated 13 times in election but at last he became the Presidnet of USA. So, keep your singing continue, and you will go very ahead and become the successful and popular celebrity than those who are in this unrealistic show Indian Idol.

We know Hindu society is bais towards Girl if not then why they out you instead of third class prashant, abishek, pranil and chang. This is unfortune that when your country choose one ladies your first person (president) but same society create such sitituation to out you from that bakwas show Indian Idol.

At last i also request host Hussen and Mini what r u doing in that show you both are also bias and unrealistic person who demoralize creative person like Charu.

Televisionpoint.com Correspondentndian Idol finalists sang in Hyderabad on July 08

The 4th CISM Military World Games being held in Hyderabad will always hold a special place in the hearts of the 11 Indian Idol finalists as they got the opportunity to sing Live for the first time on July 08, away from the Mumbai studios where they shoot for the reality programme.

Beginning with the title track of Salaam-e-Ishq, the singers entertained everybody with solo and duet performances. Most of the contestants except Prasant, who is in the police service and Meiyang Chang, a dentist, are still in college. And there are others like Pooja and Emon, who are in class 12.

They all aspire to be playback singers, composers or music directors after completing their studies and want to work with A. R. Rahman or Anu Malik. The contestants loved the crowd turnout and grew a bit more confident about their singing abilities after getting a positive response from everyone present.

But for Parleen Singh Gill, this moment was a bit more special because, "My father is an army officer and I can't explain how good I am feeling today to perform in front of three defence chiefs from the Army, Navy and Air Force. It is a matter of pride for me and my family." Gill says.

This doesn't mean the rest were less excited as Meiyang confesses he loved it when the audience sang along with them. Even Deepti, another contestant was overwhelmed with the response they got and said,"I had always heard that the South Indian audience was very cultured and understood music. After coming to Hyderabad I now know that the above statement is correct."

Seconding her is Abhishek Kumar who said, "We are performing Live for the first time. But it never felt like we are in a new place, before a new audience. Thanks to the encouragement and response we got from the Hyderabadi audience."

Class 12 student Ankita was enjoying a dream come true moment as she confessed, "It feels so good to perform in front of so many people."

Compared to Indian Idol I and II, the contestants of Indian Idol III seem to be more emotionally attached. So say Pooja and Abhishek. "We are always together and never fight or have differences in opinion."

Commenting on the judges, Abhishek says, "Their criticism helps us to improve our singing everyday. During my first audition, only two of the judges were impressed, but now, all say that they like my singing."

Rowling reveals the tears shed over Harry Potter


Potter film breaks record in US

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe

Actor Daniel Radcliffe denied he was too old to play Harry Potter
The new Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, has taken a record-breaking $12m (£6m) at midnight screenings in the US.

The figure is the most made at the box office for a Wednesday opening midnight run, according to Daily Variety.

The previous record-holder was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which returned around $8m (£3.9m) in midnight ticket sales in 2003.

Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix opens in the UK on Thursday.

Its early takings were double that of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the previous film in the series, which took $6m (£2.9m) at US midnight screenings in 2005.

'Unique challenges'

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe told US TV show Larry King Live that acting in the new movie was "some of the hardest stuff I've had to do to date".

"Each film presents its own very unique challenges so it's sort of like playing a different part every time you come back and do it," he said.

HOW HARRY POTTER HAS AGED
Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone

Daniel Radcliffe was chosen to play Harry Potter in The Philosopher’s Stone when he was just 10 years old.
Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

By the time the Chamber of Secrets was released, Radcliffe, 13, had grown used to the limelight.
Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Radcliffe was 15 when The Prisoner of Azkaban came out. Questions were asked about whether he was too old.
Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Following the Goblet of Fire, Radcliffe, then 16, signed up to play Potter in the remaining three films.
Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Radcliffe, who next appears in The Order of the Phoenix, is now 17 and has branched out into theatre.


He added he still had a "long way to go and to develop" as an actor and said: "Hopefully you'll see more of that over the next two films."

The actor said it was not until the third Harry Potter film, the Prisoner of Azkaban, that he knew that acting was something he would "love to do in the long term".

"Before that I was just a kid having fun on a film set, having the time of my life, but not really taking it as seriously as I do now, obviously."

The actor turns 18 on July 23 but he denied he is now too old to play Harry.

"Actors play younger and older than their age all the time so I don't think it should make too much of a difference," he said.

Asked about Harry's first kiss in the new movie, he said: "It's a really sweet, tender moment in the film but it wasn't as big a deal as perhaps everybody thought it might be."

He praised Harry Potter author JK Rowling's writing as "just great, purely fantastic story telling".

"I think the reason the films have been so successful is that we're fortunate to have some of the best source material around," he said.

"What Jo's done with these books is quite incredible, I think," added Radcliffe.





Rowling reveals the tears shed over Potter

Fri Jul 6, 8:56 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Best-selling author J.K. Rowling revealed how she broke down in tears during the completion of her final book in the Harry Potter series.
ADVERTISEMENT

She also tells interviewer Jonathan Ross how she changed the last word in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" at the eleventh hour.

"When I finished one chapter near the end I absolutely howled," she told the BBC television presenter.
She finished the book alone in a hotel room.

"I was sobbing my heart out -- I downed half a bottle of champagne from the mini bar in one and went home with mascara all over my face. That was really tough."

The Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final book about the schoolboy wizard Harry Potter and his Hogwarts friends.


The plots have taken a darker turn and Rowling has in the past revealed that she would kill off at least two of the main characters.

When asked by the chat show host whether the word "scar" was still the last word in the book, as had been reported, she said: "Scar? It was for ages, and now it's not.

"Scar is quite near the end, but it's not the last word."

Harry Potter has a lightning bolt scar on his forehead as a result of a failed curse by the wicked wizard Lord Voldemort.


Rowling also revealed that the character Harry Potter was "totally imaginary" and not based on anyone.

His red-haired pal Ron Weasley was a lot like her oldest friend Sean though, she confessed.

More than 325 million copies of the first six books have been sold worldwide, helping to turn Rowling into the first dollar-billionaire author.

An all-British cast seemed to be a point of pride for her as she admitted it had been a "hell of an achievement."

Stars who have appeared in the five films, including the latest "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," include Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, Julie Walters, Richard Harris, Imelda Staunton, Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes.

The film had its premiere in London this week.

The Deathly Hallows appears on the bookshelves on July 21, but 1.6 million copies have been pre-ordered online.



Rowling joins stars of Harry Potter film

Tue Jul 3, 5:00 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Bestselling author J.K. Rowling joined the young stars of the Harry Potter movies on Tuesday at the London premiere of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the fifth in the seven-part franchise.


Organizers recreated the atmosphere of the Ministry of Magic, where much of the action in the latest film takes place.

Hundreds of Potter fans, many of them young girls, assembled in Leicester Square in torrential rain and thunder and chanted "Harry, Harry, Harry" to see the teenaged stars on their way into the Odeon Cinema. Some had camped out overnight.

Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the boy wizard, clearly enjoyed the female attention.


"I can't complain. It's rather wonderful, really," he said.

Radcliffe, Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) lead the cast, along with Imelda Staunton, who steals the scenes she appears in as the sinister control freak Dolores Umbridge.

Rowling said she shared the view of many critics that "Phoenix" is the darkest of the Potter films so far.

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" follows Harry as he gathers a band of fellow magicians at Hogwarts and prepares them for the battle that he knows lies ahead.

It has been described by critics as darker than previous Potter movies, focusing more on the students' inner journeys. Reviews have been mixed, with some critics confessing confusion over the plot.

The London premiere came five days after a red-carpet premiere in Tokyo but is likely to be the biggest of the film's regional launches, with most of the main cast due to attend along with a host of British celebrities.

It kicked off a month-long outbreak of Pottermania, with the release of the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series set for July 21.

Fans are speculating which characters will die at the end of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" after Rowling said she would kill off at least two of them.

Rowling indicated that the final book would indeed be the last Harry Potter, and, when asked if she had been tempted to change her mind, she said: "No, it is really what it was always planned to be."

More than 325 million copies of the first six books have been sold worldwide, helping to turn Rowling into the first dollar-billionaire author. Online pre-orders for the final installment have already broken records.


Rowling wouldn't kill Harry Potter, would she?



NEW YORK (AP) -- Brace yourselves, Harry Potter fans. No matter how desperate you are for Harry to live, some experts in classic literature and mythology say that finishing off the young wizard would make sense -- in a literary kind of way.
Potter


What will happen to Harry at the end of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"? Only J.K. Rowling knows.

J.K. Rowling has never shied from darkness in her phenomenally successful series -- it started with the murder of Harry's parents, continued through his discovery that an evil wizard was trying to destroy him, and has included pain and torture and the deaths of major characters.

She's already promised two deaths in the seventh and final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," coming out July 21, and has refused to commit to Harry surviving. But she couldn't kill Harry off, could she? She wouldn't do that, would she?

"If you look at the tradition of the epic hero ... there is this sort of pattern that the hero delivers people to the promised land but does not see it himself," said Lana Whited, professor of English at Ferrum College in Ferrum, Virginia, pointing out examples from King Arthur to Moses to Frodo.

Greek mythology has plenty of examples, like Hercules, who was killed at the height of his strength, said Mary Lefkowitz, a retired classics professor who taught at Wellesley College in Massachusetts.



"There's no long promise of happiness," she said. "You may have brief moments of glory and then the darkness comes."

And don't be fooled into thinking a happy ending is automatic just because the main characters are young, said Anne Collins Smith, assistant professor of philosophy and classical studies at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas.

"Just because it's children's literature doesn't mean it can't have very dark events in it," she said.

Others aren't convinced, saying that Rowling's story about Harry and his adventures is less influenced by classical mythology than it is by other storytelling traditions.

Philip Ray, an associate professor of English at Connecticut College, said Rowling was part of a tradition of British writers like Edith Nesbit, writing stories where children are the focus and have grand adventures.

Since Harry is about to finish his years at Hogwarts, Ray said, "I think it would be very unusual for a book like this to kill off the main character at a time when he's about to graduate from school."

The books are about Harry's development into a young man, Ray said.


"For Rowling to have put Harry Potter through all seven volumes just to kill him off, the point of all development would be wasted," Ray said. "Death strikes me as being the strangest ending of all."

And even though the series has a dark aspect to it, Rowling hasn't set it up in such a way that Harry paying the ultimate price would make sense, said Tim Morris, who teaches English at the University of Texas at Arlington.

"I don't get the sense that J.K. Rowling has set us up for that kind of sacrifice," he said. "The first six books haven't given a sense of that tragedy to me. It's generally hopeful."


Whited acknowledges that reader outrage would be high if Harry died, and that it might seem cruel to younger readers, who aren't familiar with classic literary story arcs.

"I'm sure J.K. Rowling would get some howlers if Harry Potter did not survive," she said.

But even if he lives, don't be surprised if it's a hard-fought victory, she said. Another aspect of the classic hero myth is that even if he wins, it's not without some loss.

"There are always sacrifices, compromises along the way," she said. "If Harry doesn't die, one of his friends will." E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

Memorial concert for Diana



Sir Elton opened and closed the six-hour tribute concert
Sunday's memorial concert for Diana, Princess of Wales dominated TV viewing, with audience figures peaking at 14.8m during the six-hour show on BBC One.

An average of 8.9m people tuned in to watch the live broadcast of the event at London's Wembley Stadium.

Around 63,000 attended the Concert for Diana on what would have been her 46th birthday. The princess died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.

Sir Elton John, Lily Allen and Duran Duran were part of the line-up.

Charitable causes

Sir Elton, 60, opened the concert with a rendition of Your Song performed in front of a giant image of Diana.

The singer closed the event, which saw performances from an array of international stars, with Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting and Tiny Dancer.

Hosts Prince William and Prince Harry, who introduced Duran Duran at the beginning of the concert, returned to the stage at the end of Sir Elton's final set, praising the artists for an "incredible evening".

Proceeds from the event, broadcast to 140 countries, willl go to charitable causes favoured by the princess.

Video tributes from ex-South African President Nelson Mandela, the former Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-US President Bill Clinton were broadcast during the gig.

Prince Harry kicked off the Concert for Diana with the iconic words "Hello Wembley!"

He and Prince William organised the event to celebrate the life of their mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 46th birthday.

Weeks of wet weather cleared on cue over the new stadium, allowing the sunshine to set the perfect scene for a party.

Introducing Lily Allen, Hollywood veteran Dennis Hopper summed up the early spirit: "This is a party. This is a celebration, and you're going to love it."

And love it they did.

The strength of the new stadium was tested as 63,000 people jumped to their feet for Allen's cheery rendition of LDN.

Some danced, all cheered, and somewhere near the stage two giant inflatable daffodils bobbed in time to the music.

Allen was one of many younger performers who were still at school when Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997.

'Screaming fans'

While acts like Rod Stewart, Duran Duran and Roger Hodgson of Supertramp were some of the Princess's personal favourites, Allen was among her son's choices.

She joined P Diddy, Pharrell Williams, Orson, James Morrison, Joss Stone, Kanye West, Nelly Furtado, Will Young and Natasha Bedingfield on an eclectic bill.

The result was a mix of music to suit all tastes - rappers, rockers and pop-lovers alike.

There were hands in the air for Rod Stewart's Sailing, the inevitable screams for Take That and dancing for rapper West.

Many of the day's stars dedicated songs to the late princess, including Duran Duran, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and P Diddy, who sang his 1998 hit Missing You in her memory.

A huge cheer went up for 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland, who was among many famous faces who introduced the artists.

"We get to celebrate Diana through the music she loved by the musicians she admired," he said.

P Diddy

Sutherland introduced The Feeling, who opened their lively set with Fill My Little World.

A glimpse of Prince Harry dancing along to I Love It When You Call had the crowd craning their necks away from the stage and up to the Royal seating area.

Status Quo brought echoes of their iconic Live Aid performance of 1985 to the new Wembley after the interval with Rockin' All Over The World.

And Joe Perry of Aerosmith joined a sky-blue suited and booted Sir Tom Jones on stage for a rendition of Kiss.

The Welsh legend proved to be one of the day's highlights, and drove the two inflatable daffodils crazy by belting out Ain't That a Lot of Love and the Arctic Monkeys' I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor.

Energetic

As the sky over Wembley began to darken, Rod Stewart lit up the concert with some of his best-known hits - Maggie May, Baby Jane and Sailing.

In honour of Diana's love of dance and musical theatre, there was a performance of an act from Swan Lake by the English National Ballet, and songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

TV presenter Cat Deeley introduced a medley of songs from some of Lord Lloyd-Webber's hit musicals.

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? winner Connie Fisher sang Memory from Cats, while Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman also took to the stage.

The audience provided the "ah-ahs" as Donny Osmond, then Jason Donovan, and finally Lee Mead, dressed in his Technicolor Dreamcoat, performed Any Dream Will Do.

Osmond and Donovan have famously played Joseph on stage, and Mead is to do so in the West End in a few weeks, having won BBC One talent show Any Dream Will Do.

Take That, one of Princess Diana's favourite bands, opened their eagerly anticipated set with an energetic version of Shine, followed by Patience and a crowd sing-a-long to Back for Good.

It was left to Sir Elton John to bring the music to an end with hits like Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting and Tiny Dancer.

But, after a video tribute by Nelson Mandela, it was Diana herself who brought the evening to a poignant close.

Never-seen-before home movie footage of her as a child was shown on the giant screens that flanked the main stage.

The audience, many in tears, watched images of Diana's christening and her first birthday party, to a soundtrack of Freddie Mercury singing Those Were the Days (Of Our Lives).

It was a memorable end to a memorable day for an unforgettable icon.

Fans brave rain for Potter stars







Fans brave rain for Potter stars

Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Radcliffe got a thunderous reception

Radcliffe at premiere
Hundreds of Harry Potter fans crammed into London's Leicester Square in torrential rain for the European premiere of the fifth film.

The film's star Daniel Radcliffe arrived clutching an umbrella as fans' chants of "Harry, Harry, Harry" drowned out the sound of thunder.

He was joined by author JK Rowling, who said that it was "fantastic" to see the crowds of fans.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opens in the UK on 12 July.

Rowling spoke of finishing the final book in the series, which is published on 21 July.

Harry Potter fans
Some fans had camped out overnight
"Finishing it was very, very emotional," she said. "It's been a hell of a month. I'll want to know what the people in my house think of it."

Asked what plans she had for the near future Rowling said: "I'm looking forward to going on holiday."

Darker film

Radcliffe, 17, who was joined by his co-stars Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), returns to the role of the student wizard, which he first played at the age of 10.

He admitted that the new film is darker than previous ones.

"Toward the end there's not many laughs to be had," he said. "While there's not actually direct comedy, there's some really heartfelt emotion."

Speaking of his first on-screen clinch with Katie Leung, who plays Cho Chang, he said: "She's a very good kisser."

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sees Harry bring together a group of apprentice wizards and witches at his Hogwarts school to battle a growing evil.




HOW HARRY POTTER HAS AGED

Radcliffe, who next appears in The Order of the Phoenix, is now 17 and has branched out into theatre.

British director David Yates takes over the reins from Mike Newell, becoming the fourth director to be involved in the franchise.

Better known for gritty TV projects such as State of Play and Sex Traffic, Yates has already signed up for the sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Nearly 1.6 million have already placed an order for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - the seventh and final instalment - ahead of its publication.

Potter star greets Japanese fans

Potter film clips
Actor Daniel Radcliffe was met by hundreds of fans as he attended the world premiere of the fifth Harry Potter film in Tokyo.

Japanese competition winners were among the first to see The Order of the Phoenix movie.

Radcliffe, 17, greeted the crowd in Japanese, saying "Nihon no minasan, Konnichiwa" (hello, people of Japan).

The UK premiere of the film will be held in London on 3 July, and it opens in cinemas on 11 July.

Radcliffe, accompanied by the film's producer David Heyman, was the only one of the film's main stars to make the journey to Tokyo.

He was introduced on to the red carpet amid plumes of smoke and pyrotechnics.

"It's wonderful to come over here and to say hello," said Radcliffe.

"I hope people will be impressed by the new characters, the new performances, and the big battle."

First kiss

In the movie, Harry experiences his first kiss, with schoolmate Cho Chang, played by actress Katie Leung. Radcliffe has admitted kissing on screen was nothing in comparison to stripping off on stage, as he did in the West End play Equus.

"Once you've been on stage naked in front of 1,000 people you really feel you can do almost anything without inhibition," he told the BBC News website.

"Kissing Katie was a very, very comfortable experience, especially when compared to being naked on stage and blinding horses."

The latest of the Potter film sequels is being released just weeks before the long-awaited seventh and final book is published, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.


'Record demand for final Potter'

Nearly 1.6m copies of the final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, have been pre-ordered online ahead of its release on 21 July.

According to online retailer Amazon, JK Rowling's seventh Potter book has become its most pre-ordered product.

Demand has surpassed a previous record of 1.5 million copies ordered ahead of the release of The Half-Blood Prince.

The latest film in the series, The Order of the Phoenix, has its European premiere in London on Tuesday.

The film opens across the globe from 11 July.

It is believed that author Rowling will join the film's stars, including Daniel Radcliffe, Imelda Staunton and Robbie Coltrane, on the red carpet in Leicester Square.


Guests including Doctor Who star David Tennant, actor Pierce Brosnan and presenter Graham Norton are also expected to attend.

Speculation

The world premiere of the film took place in Tokyo, where Harry Potter has a huge fanbase.

Another highly-anticipated sequel, Spider-Man 3, opened in the Japanese capital in April and went on to break box office records.

Rowling has said two characters die in the final book, prompting worldwide speculation.

The Potter books have sold 325 million copies worldwide, have been translated into 64 languages and spawned five films.

Twenty years without Jothipala _ Daily Mirror





Twenty years without Jothipala

By Ramesh Uvais

The 20th death anniversary of Sri Lanka's most popular vocalist H.R. Jothipala who mesmerized the masses with his irreplaceable voice, falls next Saturday, July 7.

Though the country and the film industry in particular was unfortunate to lose him on July 7, 1987, he is regarded as the most popular people's singer even today.

His demise was a stunning blow particularly to the Sinhala cinema which is still struggling to find a versatile playback voice to replace Jothi. Some critics are of the view that Jothi's demise was one of the major causes for the apparent downfall of the Sinhala cinema.

Hettiarachchige Reginald Jothipala, born on February 12, 1936 studied at St. Lawrence College, Maradana and St.John's College, Dematagoda but never studied music as a subject even during the latter stages. As a schoolboy, poor Jothi used to spend most of his time in nearby tea kiosks listening to songs as his family did not possess a radio.

One of the luckiest things that happened to young Jothi was his meeting with director Cyril P. Abeyratne and Ceylon Entertainment's Chief Jabir A. Cader who after realizing Jothi's aptitude for singing agreed to give him the much-awaited break in their film Surathalee.

Jothi gradually began to taste popularity, as the Surathalee number 'Siriyame Sara' under music director T.R. Papa became an instant hit. It did not take long for him to rise to the top carrying along with him the tag of being the best with an excellent screen voice.

His popular number Puruthugeesikaraya sung to the tunes of the country's reputed musician Sunil Santha in Dr. Lester James Peiris' Sandeshaya helped him reach the pinnacle of success. Jothi, who was never known to be purse-proud always mingled with the common man and also cultivated healthy relationships with fellow artistes, although it is tragic that a section started to realise his worth only after his death.

Apart from enriching the Sinhala cinema as a playback singer in 328 films, Jothi had sung more than 5,000 songs in his career spanning more than three decades.

The father of four daughters also acted in several films after making his acting debut in Robin Tampoe's Sudu Sande Kalu Wala.

A unique feature in Jothi was his gifted knack in varying his voice to resemble the actor he sang for. The late Jothipala will always be fondly remembered as a man who endowed permanence in so many films, keeping them alive in public memory.


It is said that the late actor-turned-politician Vijaya Kumaratunga had always wanted Jothi as his playback singer, despite Vijaya himself being a talented singer.

Creating a world record, Jothi’s old film songs were used again in new films after the death of the prolific playback singer who produced ‘Sumithuro’ which was directed by his long time friend Roy de Silva.

Jothi received several top awards in his tuneful career spanning more than 30 years, but the best remark came from renowned Indian singer Mohamed Rafi who once told Jothi that Jothi should have been born in India and Sri Lanka was too small a country for him.
