Sunday - After lunch movie..

"One of the symptom of your problem is sudden-suicide-feeling"...Dhanush tells to Vivek who is sipping his drink,drops the glass out of shock, vivek "Suicide ?!?!?! Am already married man. Why will I suicide again.."

After quite a while I enjoyed,thoroughly, a Sunday after lunch movie (DVD) with so much of stomach pain due to laugh. Movie is "uthama puthiran". I wanted to watch the movie only for the angel in the movie - Jenelia. Interestingly the movie is a good laugh. A typical Telugu movie backdrop, and logic-less stories - but no worries..the movie is full of comedy. Especially the second half is completely ruled by vivek. Most of the time with his witty dialogues and rest with his innocent and being unaware of what-comes-next look. Give a try a good entertainer. And needless to say Jenelia...very cute in this movie too.

I feel quality of south movies has increased a bit. Especially, lot less violence, good subjects and at times some good remakes too. Yesterday I saw this movie chikku-bukku, Arya and Shreya starrer. Its a quite interesting movie to watch. Its again a Period movie (am I right is saying this?) with parallel narration of two love stories - one happening now and the other in yester-generation (80s). Yes, for people who thinking this is a remake of "love-aajkal", you are not right completely. The original theme of the movie was from Koren - "The Classic". I have seen this movie and is really a classic. In Chikku-bukku the story was well adapted to south-indian viewers. I think the director was little worried in the climax that audience might miss the best part of the story...hence he is stretching the climax a little more than the normal, both by more shots and dialogues - especially the one that details the finer point in the movie - to the last section of audience who has not got the point. I wish the director would have left that understanding to the viewer - am sure an above average viewer would have got the point. Explaining things so explicit may adverse the taste. Nevertheless its comfort of the director and trust he has on the viewers intelligence. (I think ManiRatnam is the master of it - he never tells things explicitly and leave it to the viewer).

I think the director change the plot slightly by adding a "road-trip" part to the movie. Is this present in love-aajkal. Dont know.




But I liked the lead-role actress(am not referring Shreya) very lovely. With such a beautiful plot, probably music could have been better.

2010 is a luck year for Arya..two movies with nice story (Madarasipattinam, chikkubukku) and a full-blown-comedy in "Boss aka baskaran"



Am still keeping Nandala for tonight. I dont wnat to bogg this movie with any other nonsense.
