Thiruvananthapuram was hilarious.
manasaLavula innum kuzhandhaiyA irundhuttu pOrEn. :P

I doubt if that demographic would even know the existence of trivandrum, let alone thiruvannthapuram. That is why it was extremely incongruous. And the choice of name-changed cities stuck out as well - vague attempt at commenting on linguistic politics. And bhope didn't strike me as a consistent character as well. He seemed to be dancing to the director's string puliing. - like paruthiveeran to ameer's tune. The whole bhope-mikail sequence was predictably cliched. Not a patch on even some rgv movies of last decade.

Kaminey is grossly overrated like the erstwhile amar a a, coolie etc.

That is the joke !

Thiruvananthapuram is the kinda name that stumps the North(of-Vindhya) Indian. It is a fascinating half-funny and thus mystical name (kinda like Timbuktu to Captain Haddock and us). So in the fit of intimacy her love-uLaral extends to Thiruvananthapuram it becomes so funny.

Subtext is for you. The way it jumps from a local specific city where it makes 'sense' to say 'I love Mumbai' versus distant cities, which are but names to them, was lovely. Ultimately 'you can't love names, you can only love people' appidingra subtext ellAm naamalA intellectualize paNNikiradhu.

IndhiyAvulayE....yEn namma waeld-layE indha reNdu padangaLOda Kaminey-vai combare paNNa aaL neenga mattum dhaan.

In those days there were better movies than amar a a, made in Tamil. Or atleast it was possible to.

Apdi thaanga bollywoodla pesikkaraanga. Ninga venaa bardwaj rangantta aaa pathi kelunga - masterpiece beyond the realms of imagintion of any lving or dead tamil directornu solluvaaru:-)
(Not sure but I think he did draw aaa in his blog while discussing kaminey!

Btw, yaarum wakeup sid paarkaliyaa? Paarhtuttu vandhu ranbir is third best actor in the countrynu solalia?
(First-second - deol, bskapoor)

revisited socha na tha......i had watched it last in 2006 - nice movie.......as again, brilliant dialogues from Imtiaz ali.......Abhay Deol's debut movie - hardly looks like a debutant.......nice timepass.........

UPO

In the face of...
Tamil-la nalla padam...pAttE illai etc.
Tamil-la konjam 'dilute' paNNA dhaan 'reach' aagum etc.

One is encouraged to make a very objectively and bland summary like a wise sage: 'A step in the right direction..'

:-)

P_R, why UPO here? anyways, u got the word correctly - the timing was awry in UPO......the punch, zeal and timing was missing....it was more dramatic as well - Mu.ka's voice over the phone and all - :lol: ......

Siringaa siringa - when the bhojpuri industry takes over bollywood, appo pesdalam:-)

Market economics dhaan unmai. Mithyallaam flopv dhane - still they mke scortes of such movies(with varying qu"ity). Afford panna mudiyudhu.
