Return of Kedi

ok..before moving any further..K..E..D..I is pronounced as "kay dai" as in Jedi (Star wars). Thappa padichitu correcta artham pannikapdaathu..okva :) I may not carry a light sabre..but me heavy and sober. Rombaaaa naala intha pakkam etti paakalaya...oray ottadaiyum thoosiyuma senthudichi...mindla i mean :)

Diwali anniki "Ganga Snaanam aachaa"nu kekara mathiri..."Endhiran ticket book panniyaacha" nu ooray allolagallola patukitu kedaku. "Engengu kaaninum sakthiyada"nu Bharathidasan paadina mathiri..enga paathalum Endhiran. Trailor releasekey oora rendu aakitaanga. Sun pics mite've pumped in 100 plus crores for making the movie. But i think they wud've put in an equal amount on promoting the movie too. Yesterday went to Albert theater with friend, who by the way happens to be a Rajini fan(atic). Thursday night, zeroth day zeroth show, movie ticket rate was 1500 rupees!!! and it was sold out already!!!!! Just to catch a glimpse of that 2 mins trailor, he had seen most of the mokka movies playing. This would be another first in movie advertising i guess. Theater owners are wooing people with ads that, they are showing Enthiran trailors in their theaters!!! Aurora theater in Matunga, Mumbai is getting renovated just for the sake of this movie, which happens to be the last movie to be shown there as its getting demolished to make way for a mall soon. Still the owner is spending so much, for he himself is a rajini fan it seems. When contacted that guy has said, "Anything for thalaivar".

I think, the curious case of Rajinikanth would be something that would make an intriguing research topic, if not already taken. Whether he comes in jeans n tees, or plain dhothi kurta, sports a mush or clean shaven, wears paratta thalai hair style or bald..this is one guy who is loved by one and all irrespective of his looks, even though his USP was his supposedly style quotient. What makes him tick is something, if can be bottled and sold, would rake in zillions. Still there is one remarkable quality of him which is for everyone to see and pursue too - his humility. It borders on being fake!!! How can a person, who with a mere wave of his hand can send thousands into raptures be so humble is again something which might make a good case study :) Either he is too good an actor offscreen atleast or an amazing person worth following. Whatever the case is, Endhiran is all set to become the "Avatar" of Tamil cinema for sure and probably of Indian cinema too, provided it has a decent storyline. Like all gullible movie freaks..me too awaiting the darshan. This time next week will tell, if its Enthi"run" ning or Enthi"ran". Goodluck to the movie, for the sake of the intriguing big man.
