Tamil Padam.. Gives you only a few genuine Laughs.

It’s been a very long time since I watched a movie first day first show. But got the opportunity for this movie after some quick planning. We decided around 3pm that we are going to the movie and then started from office at 5pm . Since it was Bangalore we where able to get the ticket for Tamil Padam very easily and to my surprise the theatre was not houseful too!!! The movie started with the Spoof of Karuthamma. But here they are killing the boy babies instead of Girl. The reason? Because boys from that village (Cinemapatti) leave for Chennai and start acting as heros in Tamil Cinema and proclaim themselves with all names like Chinna Talabathi, Mini Super start etc and also disclose that they want to become the CM in the second year itself. But our hero (who is the baby) escapes the packed super Quality Kalli paal that is kept for killing him and heads to Chennai along with Paravai Muniyamma. There are some punch dialogues which spoof Vijay and an opening song which comes similar ...

3 idiots – Has a page or even a whole volume of your college life…. For sure…

3 Idiots is a very well written movie. I felt that Rajkumar Hirani had written all the scenes once and then again spent more than the time he spent on writing it, to improve it. All the scenes are very well connected. And that connection is felt in every other scene as the movie progresses. For example you are very well told that ‘Silencer’ does not know Hindi that well in the very first ragging scene and a very good Balatkar Comedy which comes as a result of it follows later. Or the ViruS Inverter which Aamir builds that comes in aid during the delivery. Or even the scene where Madhavan comes into hostel and takes the picture of Pups which is connected to show Madhavan’s interest in wildlife photography.   The result, no body in the theatre is left with even one unclear scene. The credit goes to Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi for their excellent writing. The base story is very simple. It hits hard on the subject that students should study what they like and not study jus...

AVATAR – Starts like a holly film but ends like a bolly film

Most of the reviews have given 5/5, and I had asked all those who have seen the movie and every one told that the movie is very good and it’s a must watch. Incase you have not seen this movie you can try asking the people who have seen it and I am sure they will be saying the same which I have heard. Let me say, It’s a must watch in 3D @ theatres. In case the movie is not running in 3D at a place near you then I feel you can wait and catch it in DVD or TV. My personal feeling watching this movie in 3D was like watching something real happening before my eyes. Initially when the movie started I was able to feel the 3D effect but slowly my eyes and brain got used to it and there wasn’t much of OOOMP factor after that. Story: Hope by this time you would have known the story of Avatar (from internet and asking Friends or by seeing it too). Yes.. in case you know it partially. Don’t worry it is the right one. The story of war between good and evil is not new for Indians. So predictin...
