My first

telugu movie in theatre happened to be 'Ye maya chesave'.
Though the same movie was released in tamil we felt it would be better to go for telugu so that tamil, kannada and telugu speaking can watch. On a week day we started by 3.20 from office for 4'o clock show in the evening. The theatre was 19 kms away from office and we reached around 4.20. Rushed to the hall, but we missed half an hour movie. The first scene I saw was 'Samantha in blue saree- such a stunning beauty and the cinematography was awesome in the following scenes shot in Kerala'. I felt there was nothing wrong for having left office early and spending a lot to watch this movie. But this thought was shattered in very few minutes. I was waiting for some interesting scenes, but nothing was there. Story was good, but direction was not. I could not find the hero's eyes speak in such a romantic movie. The hero actually says 'Ye maya chesave(What magic you have done)'. But what he might have thought 'whatever magic you do I will stand just like a statue with no expression'. Only best thing in the movie was Samantha. I felt how come 2 of our gang watched this movie for the second time ??? but it was only for Samantha :-). Anyway our target was to watch a movie together and it happened that s t.

The master plans to kill Fredrieck and Russell. The master is their child hood hero Charles Muntz. Knowing this he treats them as his guest. The movie picks up fastly here when the master gets to know that his target Kevin is Russell's friend and he wants to grab it. The hero becomes villain to Fredrieck. He along with Russell escapes from there, let Kevin go. He doesnot want any one to distract his dream come true. Ferocious Charles catches Kevin with his gang of dogs. Dug helps explorer and the old man in their mission to rescue the lost bird. Did Fredrick achieved his dream of reaching the falls, did they save Kevin from the gang is the rest of the movie.

Walt disney pictures and Pixar animations' movie was directed by Pete Docter. This 1.30 hr animation movie is awesome to watch. Their love story with no dialogues and only background score, flashes on screen only for few minutes but that stays in our heart for long. The plumpy Russell was not gud to look initially later I found him to be lovely. It has a lot of love and emotions filled. Whenever Fredrieck faces hardships during adventure even my heart beats fastly. The movie has won many awards including Grammy, Golden Globe, Bafta and so on. This lovely movie is for kids and grown up kids as well.

All iz well...

Happened to watch a wonderful movie recently- 3 Idiots starring Amir Khan, Madhavan,Sharman Joshi,Boman Irani,Omi vaidhya. The movie starts with Madhavan(farhan) and Joshi's(Raju)journey in search of their lost college friend Amir khan(Rancho). Farhan narrates their 4 years of engineering life in Imperial College of Engineering the most reputed Institution. Their first day starts with the usual ragging by seniors. Farhan and Raju are ragged by them whereas Rancho escapes from that. He applies the physics we study in school and give the senior back nicely. All 3 become friends and Farhan is inspired by Rancho's every actions- he applies his engineering knowledge, very friendly to all, takes everything very easily, insists a small boy working there to join a school. He is not bookish and advices his professors also to teach by giving practical knowledge rather than theoritical. He wants students to study with interest not for the sake of getting a degree. Farhan who wants to become a wild life photographer sacrifices his dream and studies engineering. Raju whose family is very poor always have the dream of studying, becoming engineer and safeguard his family. These 3 always have so much of fun and get caught by the dean Boman Irani(Virus) everytime. Initially the dean excuses and there comes a situation where Raju gets caught and dean wants to dismiss him. When Raju wanted him to forgive, dean says then rancho should get dismissed- who is the target for him always. We all move to the front corner of the seat to watch what happens then. Amidst this there is a love story between Rancho and Pia- kareena Kapoor who is dean's daughter. What happens next for all the 3 -did they achieve what they wanted to, what happened to missing Amir is the rest of the movie.

The movie directed by Rajkumar Hirani is very much realistic where there is no show off, heroism, extras. How the students speak funily, that has been made as comedy track. There are so many emotional scenes where I couldnot control my tears. But immediately the mood of audience is changed by a comical scene.The students short names the dean- ViruSahastraBudhe as Virus. The movie has made changes in me and so many thoughts running in my mind. It insists that why should we study only for the sake of parents or for getting a degree without trying to achieve what we dream. What they show in the movie actually happened in my life too. Being an Electrical Engineer I had only theoritical knowledge. If a circuit does not work at home now I may feel it very difficult to repair(?!). What did I do in 4 years. Just got a job at the end where I work with with no much satisfaction. I think a lot if I have to continue my job to get only salary and respect in society or try to increase my talent in my areas of interest.

There are few scenes which are not practical like - college students trying to make Pia's sister deliver a baby by giving pressure. But there are so many to get to know. Movie full of positive vibrations, always say 'All is well'. All will be well . These 3 words have become mantra for everyone who have watched it. The character names sound good like Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad / Rancho / Phunsukh Wangdu. The 3 heroes have scope and performed well equally. I was stunned to see 44 yr old Amir looking exactly like a college student. So much he had worked out. Omi Vaidhya (Chathur) is the comedian and the way he speaks hindi and english is so prominent whenever he appears on screen we cannot resist laughing particularly saying 'Balaathkar' instead of 'chamatkar'. As a whole, movie is awesome and it is a must watch. It is better not to remake the movie in tamil casting masala heroes. Directors should be very careful in selecting heroes without spoiling the beauty of the movie.
