Movie time

Thavamaai Thavamirundhu

Just finished seeing it, I have to offload the weight, writing here might help.

Looks like each of Cheran's movie has a heavy subject and an intricate portrayal of human emotions and relationships. Though some might argue his movies carry excess baggage of sentiments.. come on which human relationship is devoid of emotions. People appreciate movies only when they're able to connect with it someway. The plots of his movies are layout in such a fashion and they highlight certain things that might be remotely connected to you. Certain scenes are truly touching, heart wrenching, pokes your mediocrity, reminds your past, nudges you to think for moment.

I still could not figure out who is the hero of the movie, Rajkiran or Cheran ? Rajkiran's controlled emotions, elegant dialogue delivery makes him a nonpareil for the role. Heart wrenching scenes were not uncommmon to Cheran, and he has sprinkled them all through the movie and few still still lingers in my mind. I got too involved into this movie which is, soo not me, couldn't help it, I share a very special relationship with my dad. I pity the elder brother character, his life course changed bcos of his wife, he had no choice. I guess, good being a relative term, to depict one as good the other had to be potrayed bad. Oru muraidhaan oru muraidhaan, manithan vazhkai oru muraidhaan is worth mentioning for its screenplay. Yet another movie straight from the heart to the heart.

Mystery: Thanks!! Tamil industry has churned lot of Mother-daugher sentiment movies in past, probably being a guy I wasn't able to appreciate them to the fullest.

Raz: True movies are for entertainment.But movies are inspired from real life and emotions include happiness, despair etc. I dunno what to say.

it was a very well made movie, no doubt. I liked Autograph better though- couldnt relate very well to this movie cos of its periodic nature. But certainly a masterpiece.

Side note- i liked Padmapriya immediately after watching this movie. Arranged marriage panninaa apdi oru ponnudhaan nu annikkae mudivu pannitten ;)

I saw this movie with Appa and Patti.. And well, needless to say they were enthralled by it and I overdosed! Konjam overa irundhudhu... In Appa's words, "Oru Appava irundha dhaan puriyum".. In that case, I'm never gonna understand!

Ram: yeah yeah..you certainly like Autograph :P..well what do u mean by periodic nature.

Guess what Padmapriya has a MBA in Finance and had a flourishing career before venturing into movie, untypical for tamil heroines. Looks like "Love/ Marriage" is very much on your mind right now.

Jaya: I agree certain parts were a drag. Thank god, my dad is not into tamil movies.
