wooooohooooo....atlast saw the movie. WAKE UP SID... Semma expectationoda paatha padam. No disappointment at all. Sema time pass movie. Loved it. I dont think anyone else cud've done the role of Sid other than Ranbir. He is so very apt and have actually lived the role. Looks so typical spoilt aristobrat and lazy to the bone :) infact many scenes i could relate it so much to myself that the movie could as well be wake up Vid :D Konkona sen as usual rocks :) the problem with her is that..in all her movies she looks so natural in her roles that people forget that she is actually acting!! Such emotive eyes and natural smile..love her. Ranbiroda frienda vara gundu ponnu semmma sweet :) the way she fights and smiles and cuddles around..u wish you have a friend like her around you. The other friends of Ranbir are also pretty good. I love the songs in the movie..especially the title track :) having that as alarm nowadays and "Iktara" WOW...Hats off to Shankar ehassan loy. They simply rock.

Storywise its nothing big. Rich spoilt brat fails exam..fights with parents..leaves all comforts and goes out to live with his friend who falls for him and in the end they fall in love with each other. First half semma cute n sweet and porathay therila. Before you realise its interval. Second half slowa poguthu. But not boring i would say. Overall paisa vassool. Infact i would love to see it again.

Intha padam paathaprum realised..how many things i am actually missing in this city. I'vent even scratched the tip yet. Its a totally different world out here which i'vent explored yet. No company for that but still..it sounds so fun out there. Rich..lavish..carefree..and totally unlike anything i've ever seen. Kelambrathukulla should check all these atleast once :)

Also saw Achamundu Achamundu. semma disappointment. Enamo perusa solla varamathirye buildup kuduthu onumay ilama chappunu mudichitanga. That movie director is a friends friend. Adhunalaye innum neria expectation vera. Prasanna looks so natural and Sneha chaancela. But feel wasted in the movie. No story at all. Could've been more daring and better. Child abuse pathi storynu solitu there is nothing related to that in the movie. Kadhal kondenla vara mathiri on ur facea ilatiyum atleast they cud've tried something.

Wake up Sid Dvdya vangittein..yayyy...:D loved itttttt

Achamundu, pidichidu for the effort.. more like a documentary than a movie..atleast someone took up a sensitive topic ennoda opinion :)
btw AA movie director was my husband's ex colleague so in a weird sort of way, i think we might have common friends.. the husband saw the movie coz it was directed by that guy and came out saying he shouldnt have gone in with so many expectations..

Me 22nd.
LOL :-)
Came here from Aarti's and G3's blogs. I wish I was also in Chennai now....!!!! Really miss all those outings to the cinema theatre, over priced tickets, over-salted popcorn :-) etc.
Btw, nice reviews of both movies. I am waiting to see Wake up sid, and you're right, the cast is just perfect! As for the other movie, I will anyway see it simply because I like both Prasanna and Sneha!!

Dasvidaniya - Best goodbye ever

What makes a movie tick?? If anyone has a sureshot answer to this question every movie getting released would be a Superhit isnt it. To me whether a movie goes on to become a hit or not..if you are able to relate to it..that itself is a victory for that creator. Dasvidaniya is one such movie. It got released quite sometime back and sank without a trace for obvious reasons. Happened to watch it today and here is the review :) This movie maynot be everybody's cup of tea considering that it moves at a slow pace and doesnt have feet tapping melodies or any peppy songs. Nor does it have slap stick comedy scenes which might draw repeat audience. This is one movie best watched in DVD..at your own leisure..just soaking in its pace and relishing just the same. If its Nasseruddin shah with Vaswani 3 decades back..Vinay Pathak and Ranbir Shourie are no less a pair to match wits with them. Add in the ever dependable Rajat Kapoor you've a formidable cast. Throw in a decent script and lo..yo...

Enna koduma saaar ithu!!!!

We are a group of 5 who share our apartment. Usually me and one more guy are the last to the leave the house everyday morning. Yesterday, the one who used to leave first for office, didnt come home till 11. I went to sleep after the usual book reading session at around 11.30. When i woke up i saw it was only me who was still lying on the mat while even the guy who leaves for office along with me, had already started folding his bed!! I was feeling very tired and sleepy and was in two minds whether i should take off or go late. Still managed to crawl..brushed teeth half sleeping and swtiched on the geyser. I turned back to see, suddenly it was pitch dark outside the bathroom!! Since the light was On inside, it wasnt power cut and i came out to see what was wrong. The guy who folded his bed, had moved to the hall and was again asleep!! Then only i noticed, it was dark outside the balcony too!!! I checked the time. It was 3AM!!! BOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SOB SOB SOB!!! That useless guy afterwards ...

Best romantic dialogues..EVER

Love and Freedom of expression in times of Sena wud've been apt title for this post :) Thought i would watch MNIK and post its review to show my protest. Since i couldn't i settled for watching re-runs of the usual mushy movies which they show year after year in Star and HBO. I was waiting for Nottinghill, Harry met sally, Autumn in NY, Sweet November, You've got mail and Pretty woman. Surprisingly except for the last one, none of the other movies featured in any of the channels!!! Maybe the channel guys themselves got bored :D Anyways..these movies have become part and parcel of my movie watching gene that i've mugged up most of their dialogues by now :D Here are some for you to cherish and enjoy. Without googling..let me see how many of these you can identify and how many more you could add :) " I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your no...
