Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

[mappi]

Over the weekend :

Seethamma vaakitlo sirimalle chettu : some comments have been posted on this movie. On the whole majority have the same take on the movie

Naan : As per my knowledge, its an original attempt (except for the motivation kind of things (as explained by NOV on the above post) which cannot be done otherway). The movie clicks mainly due to the placid acting of Vijay Anthony (as I had mentioned in my review)

Barfi - I would not say the movie to be simple, for that Rockstar also. Did not talk about these movies as I was not sure if there would be some people interested. Talking about Barfi, the excellent characters are its charm which are well integrated with the surrounding. Secondly ofcoarse the mind blowing performences, as you have mentioned the suprise being Priyanka. Well, first of all you cannot compare this movie with Moonram Pirai, if anyone does, there is no point in drawing in the comparison with the performences. The reason is simple, the characters are not on the same level - In Barfi they are born mute and deaf, so their up-bringing (growth) counts a lot on their adult attitude. Whereas in Moonram Pirai its an accident oriented shock that is projected. For me Barfi's task is much heavier than that of Moonram Pirai, eventhough Kamal and Sridevi are all class.
