A GUD movie after a break.......

Saturday, March 18, 2006
Watched Sithiram Pesuthadi last week, we went for a night show to a not so famous theater (SSR Pankajam), since it was a week day i expected around 100 odd ppl which normally happens for mediocre budget movies, but the theatre was almost full. I wondered why? guessed it might be for the Gaana song in that movie. The hero introduction didnt have a song which usually will have some hundreds of ppl waiting for him and will dance together with him. But this introduction was simple and didnt have much of a build up. The hero looks normal, no hair coloring or special outfits with cargos, blazer not even a pattu veshti, instead he wears normal costumes except for songs. But in our movies we r used to "Pichakara ezhai heroes wearing high class outfits". The most important thing was that the hero does not have any Punch Dialogue. He jus utters "Saavadichiruvendi..." periodically tats all. The director has proved that movies without punch dialogues can be made in Tamil Nadu and ppl will accept it. Next we ll come to Heroine, she does not has that posh look but looks cute and homely like a pakkathu aathu ponnu from our locality. I ve already seen her in "Kanaa Kannil.." from Police(Malayalam Movie). I used to think why doesnt such QTs act in tamil movies(i am not saying that tamil heroines are not cute), it has been fulfilled now. The hero seems different in this movie, i didnt recognise that he was the smart and trim cop who played in 4 students till my cousin told me. He has adapted himself well for this rowdy role. The comedy track is also different in the sense that is embedded in the story itself, there is no scenes like "Hero nalla sandai pottiturupaar, sandai mudijanthum oru cut panni Vadivelu or Vivek moonjiya kaamikaradhu.." the comedy is not extraordinary but you can laugh out loud. One more thing was that generally in movies some one will be "Uthama purushan/pathini.." i mean ideal character and they ll make no mistake or kettadhu in their life, but this movie is not like tat, it is a bit practical and each one makes mistakes which normally happens in real life. The core story is not new, same old panakaara ezhai love stuff but the way it was presented i.e. the screenplay was different and Misshkin must be appreciated for his effort. The music is not so gud, but you can listen to all of them.



Apart from all these the movie has one more gud feature, the simple but powerful "Vaazha Meenukkum..." song by Gaana Ulaganaathan. Kuthu paatuna ippadi thaan irukkanum, veri pudichu kathara maadhiri irukka koodathu, in my opinion. Even though it is a Gaana song it has a gud tune, and different lyrics, the way in which that guy had personified ppl in terms of fish is somewhat new and gud. Maalavika has to be appreciated for her dance in that song, apart from her vilagippora sari and seducing movements what impressed us was her smile and the grace with which she danced in that song, the steps were also simple like the song and movie itself. Kudos to the team. Immediately i changed my ringtone to this song. Am sure that this guy will get more chance in movies and give us some different Gaanas like this one. I am happy that ordinary and down to earth films like this are doing well, yes in the interval they displayed a slide saying "Rasigargal vendukoluku inanga naalai mudhal Naangu Kaatchigal", definitely it is a gud movie and a break from current tamil cinema, i wud rate it better than Gajini(claimed to be a great movie by some) because Gajini looked like a spoof of memento except for that bubbly flashback. but ella movies um idhe maadhiri vandhaalum bore adichudum.......

P.S: did anybody listen to the song "Karka Karka.." in VV, gud one and Kamal andha paatuku style police dressla vandha chance ae illaaama irukkum.
