3 idiots

Finally managed to watch 3 idiots this weekend.. the movie was beginning to look like one of those jinxed movies that I forever plan to watch and never do.. I will come back with a detailed review shortly.. my quick feedback.. I do not feel its a movie that needs to be raved about :-) this is purely my personal opinion.. I will explain why it is that way purely from my opinion when I get a chance.. as work is keeping me real busy now.. cya in a bit..

2 states..

Finally.. I completed two states.. the second novel am reading of Chetan Bhagat.. as I had mentioned in my earlier post.. Chetan is not a classy writer who uses hard to understand English words which only a say.. PG in English literature can understand.. its just plain simple english that you and I talk.. well the IIT slang has not gone away a lot from FPS though the character has graduated from an engineer to an MBA grad :-) Its a nice love story between a Punjabi boy and a Sounth Indian Tamil girl.. fiery one I should say cause she is not "your" tamil iyer girl.. she is an IIM grad, she is fiery, she is sexy, super confident and according to the Punjabi boy.. super hot too.. yes.. thats a very very rare package to find but at the end of the day its all in the eyes of the beholder.. I liked the way Chetan builds up the story.. some places it gets a bit filmish like for eg:- when things fall out temporarily between them and the boy grows a beard.. some devdas feelings thrown in ;-) the bottle and dog were missing.. but loved the fights between the two families.. took a slight offense to repeated mention of south indians as madrasis and dark people.. but overall a nice read.. all for 60 bucks or so.. go get it.. now let me look out for the other books of Chetan..

Tamizh Padam - LOL through out


There is not one movie that has been left out.. nor has a single mass hero been singled out.. all of them are in and spoofed.. for people of my generation..movies like thalapathi (being a hardcore rajini fan for life), mouna ragam (the times when karthik used to look decent and act the same way), basha, nayagan etc where unforgettable.. having watched it so many times during our school days, these movies left an ever lasting impression on our minds.. off late very very few movies have managed to do that like Run, Kadhalan, anniyan etc.. I went in to the movie expecting anything but a story.. but CS Amudhan has also tried to induce a story aspect in to this comic caper.. for people who have watched the above mentioned movies.. some of the scenes like Karthik meeting Revathi in the library and she asking him to announce to the entire world about his love, Devarajan going and seeing his man smothered by Rajini in the hospital replete with Maniratnams mono-syllable dialogues changed completely with Devarajan talking to the wrong guy, Madhavan running down a tunnel in Run escapes from the thugs by placing a mole on his face which changes his identity :), Rajini and Raghuvaran's timeless piece of an encounter in Basha (with Kandhasami thrown in..HAHAHA).. Siva's new style of Bharathanatyam.. where there are mudras of opening various fruits like a banana and the end result is a beautiful chimpanzee sketched with his leg etc.. brilliant stuff.. Siva's time has come and he will be recognized.. this movie will be a landmark film for him.. MS Bhaskar, Venniradai Murthy and Mano Bala as his college mates add to the thrills and the theater was nothing but squealing in laughter..even Paravai Muniamma's comic timing was A-class.. and so are all the characters in the movie..  I do not want to disclose any more details for the want of killing the suspense.. but wait.. there is no suspense or thriller aspects at all.. for anybody who wants to have a blast.. forget their worries.. feel better (actually my tummy ache vanished after laughing like hell) and generally have a fun time.. go and watch this movie with your family.. and yes.. do not miss the "Oh Mahaseeya" song.. melodious duet with no actual lyrics.. my sincere advise.. do not see ratings by any reviewer and have doubts.. just go watch this for 2.5 hours of pure unadulterated fun..
