Saturday - A Movie promo

I saw this movie poster in the newspaper. I really really liked it and was telling a friend about it too. And, the next day I saw it on Facebook. You have to see this!

I watched a movie first day-first show on a festival day !!

One of my chinna chinna aasais was to watch a movie first day first show on a festival day! And for a change, this wish of mine got fulfilled. Isn't that cool? Eeeeeeeee. I have already watched Mozhi first day first show(and I'm proud of it! I stood in the queue and got tickets!!)
Supri's friend wanted to book tickets for the entire family, online. But being first day first show and all that, Inox allowed only two tickets to be booked at a time. And, by the time, the next set of two tickets could be booked, puff...housefull. And those two tickets ended up in our hands... :) We did pay for it, but let me tell you, this should've been one of the easiest ways to procure two first day tickets... stand outside Eatalica, pay money, get the tickets :) Although the comments about who I should be taking to the movie, could've been avoided.

Ok... to break the 'suspense' we watched Padikadhavan. I got thoroughly impressed by the "paatha pidikaadhu paaka paaka dhaan pidikum" dialogue. But, ahem... never judge a movie by its trailer :P lol. But yeah, it was a good movie... as in, basic time pass stuff that you can watch once as a worthy enough gamble. Unlike a lot of people, I actually happen to like Dhanush as an actor. I know I couldn't sleep properly for two days after watching Kadhal Konden. But be warned, you will be thorougly disappointed if you are looking for a story in Padikadhavan. Tamannah is good in the movie, but she's again a running-around-tree heroine. There are a lot of villains in the movie, lots of Reddy garus, Raami Reddy, Samara Simha Reddy... blah blah blee blee. Sometimes, it is so confusing as to which rowdy is doing what, and for what he is doing it. The comedy in the movie is the saving grace. Dhanush's timing is awesome as ever, and you have a lot of other people like Vivek and Mayilsamy to tickle your funny bone. So yeah...there you go. I happened to watch a movie first day first show, and I happened to like it. Clap clap clap!

வாரணம் ஆயிரம் - The DADDY Movie!

நாங்க 'வானரம் ஆயிரம்' னு ஒரு அருமையான படம் எடுக்க inspiration !!! (with Supri as heroine!)

Well, that was a joke obviously, one among the 100 lousy jokes we cracked during the course of the movie. We somehow got the tickets, FINALLY(All thanks to Mubby...oops, Deepti, and her uncle working in Sathyam Cinemas :P).

I'm probably not the right person to review a movie, but come on, its MY blog, and its a country of free speech!

Vaaranam Aayiram is a tribute from Gautam 'Vasudev' Menon to his dad. But whether it has reached all the dads and sons from all over, is still a question. I'm guessing guys can understand the movie better, because it is about a father-son relationship (I guess we girls should just wait for Abhiyum Naanum).

I will not give a spoiler review like TOI, but let me just tell you, you have to watch this movie. For Surya. He is BLOODY brilliant, and I'm NOT talking about his six pack!

This movie is a good come back for Simran, as a talented actress (at least, better than Seval), and some of her acting says 'I'm back! with a bang.' But we should agree that she can never be a Kajol. She's put on weight, and she looks old. Especially with ரெட்டை ஜடை.. whew...she looks bad. (Reminds me of Reema Sen in Vallavan)

Sameera Reddy looks oomph! as the 'swept over by the feet' girl, Meghna. Goutam once again proves his brilliance in choosing his heroines here. Divya(a.k.a Kuthu Ramya) is sparingly used, but yeah... the lesser the better.

All in all, its a DADDY movie. 'I am Major K. Surya Daddy' HA HA HA!
'He's smiling'
DADDY
'It's okay, you'll be alright'
DADDY
'kiddo' 'sunno'
'DADDEEEEE'

You see, the movie is about a very well educated 'Kurkure' family! The 'DADDY' factor makes the movie comical really. What was Goutam Menon thinking?!?!

The music is AWESOME. But you never know, it is Harris Jayaraj. So, in a few months' time, you might find videos in YouTube giving the original versions from where these songs might've been copied!

Rating: **** (All for Surya!)

Movie: Must-watch, definitely.

Plus: Surya (Dad & Son), Simran, Music, Lyrics

Minus: Daddy :P (definitely can't think beyond that!)

And, I love the message that is conveyed in the movie- "Whatever happens, life has to go on". How very true!

Movies I can watch over and over again

Don't ask me why. I just keep watching these movies whenever it is on TV. I suppose its the breezy feeling these movies give... feel good kinda movies are always a treat to watch. No sandai...no punch dialogues...no running around the trees...no larger-than-life heroes...these are my kinda movies! in no particular order!!!

And movies which I can watch for the most part, but can't stand the climax!
