It was an emotional trip down the memory lane for the same place was once patronised by my dad. We arrived dot on time (something of a record considering my notoriously unpunctual ways..but, that i wouldnt have missed the trip for anything in the world is a totally different thing). To our dismay we found both the main doors to be locked and since it was sunday no one picked the fone in the office. To our luck one cute looking kid, who was playing near the door, heard our voice and came to our help. We told her that we wanted to meet the warden. You should've seen the enthu with which the kid dashed towards the office room. The warden was an old lady (should've been in her late sixties) who was providing free service, being in her post retirement days. She took us through the place and gave us a brief history of that institution which has been fou...

College based stories neriaaaaaaaaa vanthalum, its always the treatment which makes the movie special.JTYJN is one such movie. Story perusa onumila, namma "Azhagiya Theeye"voda Opening and narrationa sutrukanga with Prashanth Shalini's "Piryaatha Varam" vendum premise. But the screenplay and songs makes allllll the difference. Each character in the gang, though looking quite old for college goers expect for the hero (Even Jenilia looks her age in some scenes. But WHO CARES!!), makes a mark for themselves. Overa scene podra antha Devadarshini charactera vara lady, avaloda mokka boyfriend, sottai thalaila wig maatikitu vara aalu and avan girlfrienda vara lady (though she does looks like Reese Witherspoon in some weird angles!!) everyone are interestingly set.
