Anbe Sivam, Naan Kadavul

Its about 2 tamil movies I watched recently:

1. "Anbe Sivam"
Anbe and Sivam are two characters in the movie, played by R. Madhavan and Kamal Hasan. And the title literally means "Love is God".

The film starts in a lighter mood with comedy between RM and KH. Then it turns slightly serious with a flashback- Communism as background, rights of workers and hence talks about equality of human being across, merged with love story of KH.

The movie has a point to make- "Communism is a feeling, many had it even before Karl Marx, but it was Marx who first penned it down. And it shall not be destroyed even if there is no government to promote it". [wiki]

Most interesting part in the movie is when KH, a union leader and a painter paints a wall in his Boss's office. The painting itself states theme of the movie. This is director's skill.

Kamal Hasan's acting is as usual great. Tribute to him!!
Versatile him has also sung a couple of songs in the movie. Title song "Yaar yaar Sivam, Nee Naan Sivam" is my fav.

2."Naan Kadavul"

Title literally means "I am God"/ "Aham Brahmasmi".
This is a story of an "Aghori" Saadhu who is a "realized one". His family travels to Kashi in search of him and brings him back to T'nadu. On the other track, the movie tells the story of beggars and the racket which treads them. At a point, the Saadhu kills leader of the racket, knowing his plans to sell out a blind girl in the clan of beggars. But then he also gives a mercy death to the blind girl, who, throughout the movie stood victim of many.

Nice movie on a different theme.

M80, me, nilesh, pranita

my version of story
It was a nice morning in Pune. Me and Nilesh were waiting for a friendwho would accompany us for swimming. My classic "Bajaj M-80" was parkedjust nearby and a zen was parked on the other side of the road.We were busy chatting and Pranita entered the lane. She hadbeen Nilesh's and Rohan's crush since childhood. That day she looked even better. Her figure looked just perfect and she gave a smile to us.We returned the smile. She started her car and took reverse to unpark it.Like any other girl, she showed her driving skills by banging my M-80. Sheapplied breaks only after my M80 was completely down. She came out of carand very kindly asked me "i hope you are not hurt ... i am so sorry dear".Well, when a girl bangs you .. always "never mind". So we didn't. She helped me taking M80 up and Nilesh was busy staring at her. "amm amm ... its ookkk" .. I said.She gave a beautiful smile again and left ...

Nilesh's version of story
As usual, koukya's friend was late for swimming. "oh goddd !! Pranita ... koukya, look at the way she walks" I said as Pranita entered the lane. I don't know, why koukya doesn'tlike her. Well, she completely ignored us. What to do ... I was with koukya na.She started her zen to unpark it. She took reverse and DHADAD. Koukya's old "khatara" was down. I don't know why does he even carries it with him. Anyway, Pranita got down and smirked at koukya. Such things are bound to happen when koukya is around. She kept on smirking and asked"is your vehicle alright?". "yyes", foolish koukya mumbled. She got into the car and left withattitude.

Recently me and Nilya were discussing Pranita, and this story was brought up. Though I like to believe and tell my version of story, Nilya's version of story is true :).

a day ...

(pune)

6:00 i called abhya and told him the movie plan ... it was a Marathi movie.

I had selected marathi movie for 2 reasons:

1. Verrry few of my friends are Marathi, and very few (no one in fact) of them watch marathi movies. So i wanted these guys to realize Marathi movies are equally good/bad as hindi movies, so that i can get some partners to watch marathi movies. (sad that my sis is not in town)

2. With its name (haay kaay an nhaay kaay) and cast (jitendra joshi, pushkar shrotri), i thought it would be a nice "Chindhi" movie, and we would get to laugh a lot the way we had laughed while watching "Gunda(hindi)"/"Kung-Pao Enter the feast(english)".

Unlucky me:

we were to catch 9:30 show, and abhya was hungry whole day. so he obviously thought of world famous Krishna vada-pao. I am always hungry for a vada-pao.

I am considered as unlucky in my frnd circle. According to them, things just go wrong with me/when i am around. and they support the theory with several incidents (eg. Blasts in Mumbai when i was supposed to go to Mumbai/12 hrs delayed train/torn pant and itchy shoes when i was goin for my 1st job interview (which i cleared :) )... i guess they maintain a list.)

So we went to krishna and the shop was closed (at 6:30 PM -- Dhande ka time). This, according to abhya, had happened for the first time in last 25 years. and the reason was my luck.

Whatever, now i was vada-pao hungry, and hence wanted it badly. So we went to Rohit vadewale. While eating, abhya bite his tongue hard. It started bleeding, and he couldn't finish vada-pao. This, again was because I was around :).

Then abhya fainted perhaps because of empty stomach ... another example of MY bad luck.

Comming back to movie, It was a pathetic. Thank god I chose Lakshminarayan- Rs. 37 X 5= 185/-.

For first half, we could laugh only at one one-liner:

"manatala bolayala laaj vatate

avaghad jagevar aleli khaj vatate"

It was so boring, that we laughed only with our own jokes. They couldn't be as chindhi as mithun/laksha. I suggested we should leave before interval, but abhya wanted to torcher me. Mayur wanted to watch full movie. So we had to watch full movie.

We will remember the movie and "unlucky" day forever.

Now let us see how "Quick Gun Murgan" comes out.

Will watch Kamine again, with my Mom. She is a great fan of Shahid Kapur and she read the review in Sakal, that it is a good movie. funny !!

bullshit

Right now, I am bored in office. just now i wrote a post on my recent project completion, how i achieved et al (self praise, nothing else !!). After writing the post, while i was formatting it a bit, something just happened and whatever i had written got erased. And just then the draft was autosaved. So whatever I wrote is lost.

Bullshit blogger.com !!!

Also, with IE7, we cannot paste anything in edit area.

This is pathetic.

I am too lazy to write same thing again. And now that success is more than 2 hours older than it was then. So I have lost my interest in it.
