Dasavatharam - THE movie

A nice, gripping movie.

Not for people who want only "masala" and timepass...

It s KAMAL KAMAL and KAMAL everywhere!

Being a Kamal Fan, I was waiting to watch this one! and enjoyed every bit of it!

Going to see it for the second time this weekend!

Nothing much to review about it... (Hmmm, maybe I ll have lots to write after watching it for the second time... )

Some observations

- Make up was not upto mark for some characters eg. Paati and Fletcher

- Graphic goofups - Some scenes had too much of "Low quality" graphics Eg. Tsunami scenes

- Other than these things, everything is a plus... The screenplay is good. The story is interesting.

JUST GO FOR IT!

Will post after watching the movie for the second time!

Till then,

Bye :)

Real estate - Chennai

Well,
Prices are going up up and away from our reach here in Chennai.
I dont know how long these things will last...
Lot of people are suffering cos of this... I ve read about a family struggling for a house for rent in Chennai. Their current landlord was asking them to leave the house as they got people who will give 10 thousand while this family was giving only 6 thousand. They are now having a tough time looking for a new house as the rental rates are just beyond their reach. (their income per month is 8,500). Imagine, family earning 8,500 is finding it difficult to find a place to stay... what about people earning less than that???
Life is so good when it is the usual. Get up in the morning, have breakfast, go to work, come back, have dinner and sleep.
While reading this article, I was thinking how much we have been blessed with. I mean, we dont have to worry about existence... we only think about how to live better.
Hope things change. No idea how this problem is going to be solved.
But I believe that "All bad things have an end"
Let s hope for a better tomorrow... :)

Hmmm... missing my Hex Friends

My good friends.... leaving the town one by one...
First it was Asha... Hope n Desire!
Then Nisha, CSK, Srikant, Debas....
Now, such a small group is left behind! Me, Haseena, Sumi, Deepak and Vinu!
Will always treasure sweet memories of this gang!!
Miss u yaar(s)!!

:(

Wah ! Kya analysis hai!

Have been observing some people talk over the phone.... this is how it goes.
1:Hello
2:Hey, what happened, I've been trying to talk to u... why s your number busy?
1: Oh had u called? but my number was not busy...
2: Is it? I kept on trying your number since.... about couple of hours.
1: hmmm i spoke to XYZ about an hour back
2: oh ok... then maybe I called u an hour back... I don't remember exactly.
So, u were talking to XYZ... how long?
1: well, may be for ten minutes
2: Then why didn't I get the line?
1: May be u dialed some other number
2: Not possible... I have stored the number... I even checked the call history (!!!amazing eh??)
and this conversation goes on for an hour and finally, no one knows why 2 called to talk to 1!!
PS: I did this analysis during my journey in train... Initially, I used to listen to FM radio during the 30 mts journey... but then I realised that I was missing lots of fun by not listening to these "interesting" things happening around me!! So, happy travelling!! Hee hee... :)

Friends....

Friends... college friends... rings a bell?

This brings in my mind so many faces... half of which, I remember very vaguely.

Some of these faces, still bring a smile on my face.

I made such nice friends and I am really proud of my friends...

Pram... she had called up last week... She s one of my very very good friends... Though we are of opposite types... we still share such a nice friendship.

Pinky... We dont meet much, but talk to each other often now. She s very short and hot tempered but a very loving and caring person at heart. We had so much fun in college... even those short tea breaks, juice breaks... ice cream evenings...movies... so much fun!

Then my bus gang... Bhuvana, Suku, Manjari, Daya, J Suganya... had a whole lot of fun in van / bus/ whatever mode of transport... We still keep meeting and cracking stupid jokes (most of them by "ME"). I keep getting scolded and hit by all of them.

And the list just goes on ....

So many nice memories to be recollected. Ya, and I am so happy to have such nice friends!

Ciao,
Prabha

Yaaradi Nee Mohini

If anyone you know is going for a tamil movie called"Yaaradi Nee Mohini", please ask them not to. I went for the movie and had a horrible headache for couple of days.

It s a biggggg bore...The story is just the usual... guy sees girl --> falls in love --> girl not interested. Reason??? She s engaged and (what a turning point) to the guy's best friend! And then what happens is a very gripping(hee hee)climax.(As if we dont know... obviously, the hero ought to win the girl's heart...So what if it s just the day before her wedding).

The suspense in the climax is completely lost as we know that Dhanush will marry Nayanthara for 2 good reasons

1. Tamil sentiment - should never marry another person when your heart is with someone else (PS - this rule applies ONLY for the heroines)

2.The hero s friend is Karthik kumar. Such people never get to marry the heroines when they play second hero ( remember...like vineet, abbas and lots of people who play "America maapillai" and this Karthikkumar too in "Alaipaayuthey").

Lots of serious scenes are made comical. Samples of some things which made this movie pathetic to the core. (Please note, i cant put in every bad thing in the movie... cos that s the whole script!)

1. Never knew that getting through GD and interview were so easy.You should watch how Dhanush passes through all therounds - nice imagination

2. Dhanush is a genius (suddenly). Initially, he is shown as a guy who s never passed any company's interview. And here he comes to SSI andfixes a bug which NO ONE could fix.How? By reading some books... cool na!!!???!!!

3. Our second hero - Mr. KK - His role is so stupid.He finds his fiance hugging his friend (C'mon, there was a thunder !!!) He just smiles and walks off... Very very dumb. The whole theatre was laughing at his character...

4. This character of a small girl who falls in love with Dhanush... irritating to the core... She had every bit of over acting... over reacting... which spoilt an already spoilt movie.

5. I expected some comedy from Dhanush + Karunas like some old movies... total disappointment.

6. Songs... eeeeeeeeks. No comments.

My Humble (final) verdict.

PLEASE STOP MAKING SUCH MOVIES. REMEMBER, PEOPLE WATCHING MOVIES HAVE BRAIN AND YA... THEY THINK!

Changes ...

Hello...

Am enjoying my new mode of transport these days...Electric train.
From Tambaram to Kodambakkam... in just 30 mts. It s so nice. The only problem I had was the crowd. That got solved once I got a first class pass.

Hmmm... here starts summer. So, am travelling a bit earlier than usual to avoid the heat.

Life is just going great!
