Paa Promo Trailer makes your heart soft and heavy…

-



Came home today and logged into my twitter account. And found that Rajeev Masand had posted a link for the trailer of the movie Paa.
Watched it and really found it to be doing something inside me. Yes.. The region.. centre of my chest.
The interesting part is Abhishek Bachchan has acted as the father of Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan has acted as Amitabh’s Mother!!!!
I guess Paresh Rawal has acted as Abhishek’s father.
Let me say something about this trailer. It is little more than a minute. And has  very good music running through it. Music is composed by none other than our own Maestro.. Ilayaraja.
The scene opens up to some dance moves by a school boy… Or an old man in a school uniform who dances like a school boy. Sounds interesting right. Why don’t you watch it yourself? (Link below)
It took me some time to realise that it was Amitabh.
The oldest in the cast has acted as the youngest. I also read Amitabh’s Blog and was amazed at to what extent an actor can go for the passion of cinema. I was expecting Amitabh to do some lighter roles as he was not having the best of his health recently. But his passion for cinema has made him take this role. What more can you expect from a 67 year old actor?
Then the trailer has 2 more touching scenes.

  1. A scene where Amitabh dances with Vidya Balan in rain.
  2. A scene where Abhishek is carrying Amitabh piggyback.

Let me say something more about the story background. This is about a child who has a medical condition who grows older 4 times faster physically but has a normal mental growth. The name of this medical condition is Progeria. And this concept is not new for a movie. Yes I think the base frame of the movie was taken from an English movie Jack and the same role was played by another superb actor Robin Williams. Movie was directed by the famous God Father trilogy Director Francis Ford Coppola.
We have to wait till December 4 to find out how much creativity has the director Balki who took Chenni Kum earlier put in. I would be very interested to write a review of this movie once it is released. And I will sure try to watch the movie Jack before that.

Kanden Kadhalai in Tamil < Jab We Met in Hindi

On the above picture do you see any difference? Hmmmm… This is the level of similarity you can see when you see Kanden Kadhalai. But I understood direction is not simply copying. You have to have the magic touch which the original director (Imtiaz Ali) has. Kannan (Director of Kanden Kadhalai) didn’t have that magic touch. Scene to Scene, Dialogue to Dialogue it is same as Jab We Met. Although he has left out some really cute scenes which comes in Jab We Meet. Some scenes coming to my mind are, when Geet and Adhitya try and catch a running train in Manali soon after he finds out her in Manali and she tells abt her dream. And the very last scene where Geet’s Sikh Grandfather says that he knew every thing and he needs only one second to find what is running between the girl and boy. In that scene you will be seeing Geet and Adhitya with their 2 children and giving a smile saying “Ji Daji” Those are some of the real sweet scenes in Jab We Met and we don’t find them in this movie. ...

It’s a Fishy world out there…

I always wanted to taste all kinds of sea food available in our fish markets. But my mother used to scare me when I was young saying that other fish expect the Vanjaram will have lots of thorns in them and it may get stuck in your throat if not chewed properly. There is no need of any proof that vanjaram has the best taste both in Fry and Stew (Kolambu) category and because of its taste it is also the costliest. It just has one centre bone and rest all is flesh. But I always wanted to taste other kind of fishes. The biggest hurdle in it is each and every fish is called differently in different parts of Tamilnadu. In Tuticorin the Vanjaram is called as Sheela Fish. So this was one of the biggest hurdle. Soon after I came to Chennai about 9 years back from Tuticorin. We tried buying fish from Velachery Fish market. But I did not like the taste of the fish. I will not say it was bad but it was very decent. Tuticorin had a better tasting fish. But Until one fine day about a year back wh...

Angadi Theru is touching and true…

Angadi Theru Movie Review (4/5). Angadi Theru means a Market. And a heavily crowded market in Chennai means Ranganathan Street . And that’s where most of the movie unfolds. Many would have gone inside Saravana Stores. And how many of us would have thought about the uniformed sales people working there? Vasanthabalan just has not visited Ranganathan street . But paused and thought about it and made this touching script mixing some hard reality too. The movie shows the lives of Kanni and Jothilingam for a period of roughly 1 year. And that happens to be the first year after they meet. They gain many things but loose many too. There is no hard lined story in this film. This movie can be taken as a chapter in a very big novel. But this chapter seems to be the touching one in the whole novel. Jothilangam a 12 th standard school topper from a village is forced to work for his family due to the sudden death of his father. He comes to Chennai and joins as a sales person at Senthil Mugura...
