Vinnai thaandi varuvaayaa--review

Before the movie review..makkalay..pona posta pathutu mothama naan blog worldlenthu apeet aagarennu santhosha patta makkaluku..ungala avlo easya nimmathia iruka udra idea lethandi :) Uncanny sonna mathiri thirutu proxy ushaar panra velaila theevirama eranga vendi thaan :D Now for the review.

This is not a once-in-a-life-time-never-before-told story sort of a movie. Inum solanumna..its so simple that, i can bet you there would be atleast one friend in your gang whose life story would match frame by frame with this one. The story is so simple..dialogues so natural..no major twists (Except for the ending..grrrrrrr). Apramum intha padathula pudikara mathiri enna iruku?? Well..to me..i felt the natural nature of the movie is its strength. No hype..over the top emotions..unwanted sentiments..everything is measured. Gautam menon even pokes fun at himself at some scenes. Its a simple tamil Hindu tenant boy, who is aspiring movie director, falling in love with Mallu christian landlord's girl, who is a programmer in Polaris. Climaxla avanga serarangala ilaya? athaan kathai. The way in which its told is what i felt might make the movie tick.

I pinched myself before typing this. I know i would regret typing these lines...aaarrrghh.. Sombu is actually good in the movie. At times he even looks like karan johar (avvvvv...kalikaalam!!) Enakenamo he would felt so easy to fit into this role, considering his romantic escapades. The way he delivers the dialouges are also so natural. Not the forced veral aatra sombu in his other movies. This one is a path breaker for him and he hasnt disappointed. He is beleivable as the love sick chocolate boy who falls head over heels for Trisha. And Trisha!!!! avvvvvvvvvvvv...never have plain white saree with a simple dark color on the border looked so sexy and chic!! She is adorably cute and looks a million bucks. (rt..i cudnt believe u managed to notice the way she walked!! i thought she was floating throughout :D ok..gils..control control) Her character is majorly confused though. Sujathavoda "Anithavin Kathalgal"la vara heroine mathiri Gautam try panirukar nenakren. At times she is so sure of what she wants and next moment she is so confused. Looks apart..she barely shows any emotion on her face. Even the best scene of the movie, to me, when they meet again in London, there is hardly any emotion on her otherwise plastic face. Sombu kuda vara sidekick character!! WOW..amazing guy. He doesnt say punch dialogues. Not even comic dialogues for that matter. But the situations he get into and the tone with which he speaks brings genuine laughter. Nicely characterised.

ARR!!! No wonder he won all those awards. For a change..the background music was particulary good and very different from his usual movies. Songs are already chartbusters and you would love them even more after watching the movie. The second half of the movie, where sombu tries to direct a movie is interestingly picturised and nicely sets things up for the twist in the end..which was a real dampner for me :( This movie simply ooozes with romance and guess what..trish and sombu combo actually has gud chemistry on screen. To borrow lines from Porkodi, If you liked Gautam's first movie, "Minnale" which incidentally is a movie i will never forget in my life :), you will end up liking this one too. Its a simple feel good romantic movie, with good..sorry..great songs and some nice looking lead pair. Mast movie to chillout over a tub of popcorn.

Gils review: Go watch it :)

Trisha nadakarathu neenga gavanikkala? floatinga?? saar... nalaikku yaaravadu podava katindu roadla porada parunga... eppadi nadakaranganu...!! [thangala... floating it seems.,avalukke theriyum thavala mathiri nadanthannu..athuvum antha blue saree where he follows her and she says 'if my dad sees u talking to me.... will say ur like a brother' scene!! ;)

True- no emotions ever in her face...

Moosic is goood...

that side kick, honestly i dint like him at all..apparently they were to give him a teeny tiny role, but it kept stretching to this level...

same blood!

on a serious note, if there will be atleast one person who had similar experiences in their life, am imagining what a great waste of their prime time and life it is.

being in your college or early 20's is when one should be ultra serious and concentrated in what they want to pursue in life and they choose a girl? really? i am worried that such movies glorify "love" for more than what it is worth and mislead youngsters quite a lot. moviea moviea pakanum wont work out, cos moviea thaan movie madhri edukradhu illiye.. "natural feel" kudukrangle!

amazing movie.. i luvd it... especially simbu :)chance illa.... After surya, it is simbu who is done justice to romantic movies...
the way he looks at trisha.. the way he says those dialogues.. the way his eyes becomes soft when he is with her.. the way he holds trisha's hand.. gr8.. inhibiting all his image, in this movie he is been gautam menon's puppet nu nenaikiraen...

I luvd this movie...

I ll skip this one or wait for Sun TV, Jaya TV telecast. Simbu in any "form" even with a head-to-toe makeover cannot be endured by me ;-)

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...

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 ...

Babies day out :D

Last sunday went for my friend's kid 2nd bday party. They had invited all their neighbours and other friends to club it as a getogether event. In 2 days time their kid had grown so fond of me that the moment he saw me came running to me and took me to his new friends for intro :) I dunno what he told them in his broken language. But considering the after effects i guess it must've been something like below. "Yaruda ithu" one of the kids ask this guy "machaan..oru allakkai maatirukaan..freeya irunthena sollu..aala paatha anju farex dabbava oray gulpla adikaravan mathiri irukaan..evlo imsai pannalum thaanguvaan nenakren" "apdiya..test panni pathiruvom" Ten thousand blue blistering barnacles and thundering typhoons to all those parents who didnt come to the resuce of hapless gils. Adutha 1 hour..thenara thenara gummi. One is pulling my specs..another one climbing on my shoulders..two of them playing sarukku maram on my legs..one scientist kid did some...
