Burfi! .. It is a sweet which lingers in your mouth till the movie ends

-


Usually all babies are cute. Here the hero is cute from the beginning, where he is old and till the end he is old. But in between he is young and naughty. Surprised that Ranbir Kapoor can do so much humor without uttering a word. I almost forgot he was deaf in the movie. New Respect to him from now on.
Priyanka also plays a girl who is mentally young. She also can’t speak properly. Initially I felt she was overacting and soon found that she has emoted some emotions which is very difficult for grown people and can be only seen only in small children doing. I liked her performance too.
Go to this movie and you will be relaxed like someone is massaging  your shoulder after a hard day’s work. I went to the Friday Night Show and felt the same. Everything from the songs to the cast to the story is pleasant and simple. You mix into the unreal world which Anurag Basu has portrayed. New respect to Anurag Basu from now on. He has managed to satisfy my desire to watch a good movie when I had not watched a good movie for a long time.
The story is kind of complex and not that very important. Yes.. It is a love story and it has good humor. Feels simple. Music is excellent and acting of the cast great. Ranbir’s name is Murphy kept after the radio which killed his mom. And Murphy is grown now and sees an already engaged Ileana and woos her. One day he goes to her home to meet her parents to say that he loves their daughter and wants to marry her. There is a situation and he comes out dejected and they separate. In the middle of the story Murphy’s dad becomes sick and he needs money for his treatment he plans to kidnap Jilmil (Priyanka Chopra) for a ransom. But his plans comes in the middle of the another kidnap being executed by Jilmil’s dad to secure the ancestral property. That’s why I told it is complex. Go watch the movie and find out the story yourself.
What the story tells in the end is look for real love without any expectations. It is very difficult in real world but very enjoyable in the big screen and we can take a cue in real life. 
You may even shed a tear in the fag end of the movie. 

Some little Highlights.
  • How Murphy tells his name.
  • How Jilmil calls Murphy. (My Wife started to call me like that. Just for fun J)
  • Numerous expressions which Murphy portrays.

Lowlights
  • There is an annoying light being shows in many frames that keeps annoying.
  • Feels a bit long.

Go Relax with family. No not the small kids. They may not like it. But with your mom, dad, friends and spouse and they will enjoy it.

FYI
I have not heard the songs of Burfi! before I watched the movie. So now when I hear to it I keep smiling at some scenes coming to my mind which I saw in the movie. 
My Rating 4/5*

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.

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

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
