Vimal who was a IIT'an in Ishtam was a chartered account in this movie...eppdiney? He gets inspired from Cheran - Banu love story, I mean Banu's one side love and tries to negotiate between his girl friend and her ex! Somehow still I don't know how he connects Arjun-Divya love story [Divya was his schoolmate mattum puriyidhu] ... Arjun sethu sethu vilayaaduraar avaroda pair orey attempt-la sethu pora! ... Now wait in climax Vimal combines these love stories and releases a book, appdi podu! Ivvlo neram yaaro oru group-ku Vimal kadhai sollirukaar!

Over the weekend :

1)Seethamma vaakitlo sirimalle chettu : Slice of life with events rather than a structured story driving the film but came across as very disjointed and incohesive.

Venkatesh looked uncomfortable and the opening dance and the mannerism of lifting his collar from behind did not help at all.He looked very old too for the role.

Mahesh Babu did well but was restricted by a screenplay which did not define his role properly.

Anjali and Samantha were eye pleasing with cute expressions and way of delivering dialogues(which incidentally could have been much much better)

Prakash Raj,Jayasudha,Rohini Hattangadi,Kota Srinivasa rao are all veterans and it will be surprising if they don't perform well in roles which do not need much exertion.

The highlight for me was the locations,the way they were captured and the songs(very pleasing).

Overall,underwhelming film.

2)Naan(on SunTV) : Very very impressed.Could make out that a lot of thought has gone in not just to keep the screenplay taut and engaging but also to cover all angles where questions could be raised and give them a logical closure.

Everybody was adequate,Vijay Antony probably looked a bit old for the role but the way the screenplay moved shut out this line of thought for me.

The director ensured I was desperately rooting for Karthik/Salim from the start without painting the opposite characters in black.

This film just reiterated that atleast the new age directors should ensure that their films get a VCD/DVD/Blue ray release.It's criminal to keep looking out at TV channels to catch up on such films.

PS:Hope this is not a copy of any foreign film.

3)Barfi - Simple film but somehow could not get emotionally connected at all expect the two scenes towards the end when Barfi finds Jhilmil at 'Muskaan' and when Jhilmil dies sleeping next to/on Barfi after his death.

Ranbir got his Chaplinesque act spot on,Priyanka was a surprise(atleast for me)as Jhilmil and Ileana as Shruthi was beautiful(though she looked very South Indian/less Bengali in the 'after-her-marriage' scenes.)

Music was good and so was the locations and the Cinematography.

But will strongly object to comparing this film with Moonram Pirai,that is another level and KH/Sridevi are all class.

BTW,I started "Naan" from the point where young Karthik pours fuel inside his house and kills his parents.Why does he do that and did I miss much?
