Chappunnu oru Movie

A loves B but gets married to C. Subsequently C learns about A’s past, traces B and try to get them together. But ultimately the marital bonding proves too powerful for any other emotion. This is the story of Andha 7 naatkal.. er.. I mean.. Hum Dil de chukke Sanam.. was it Veetila Visheshanga.. No.. I think it was Pooveli.. Oh please.. which movie did I see last week? Got it.. Sillinnu oru kaadhal

An innovative story that has been innovated a hundred times before. Can you change a few scene here and there and make a new movie? Yes. It is as easy as changing a ‘J’ to ‘S’ in the title, and claiming the title has now become Tamil.

If you insist there should be something new about such a hyped movie, let me elaborate a bit on the love story between A and B, I mean Surya and Bhoomika. The hero is a designer clad poor villager who falls in love with a politician’s ONLY daughter. When the try to get married, the politicians enters with a gang of goondas, separate the couple and beats up the hero. Heard that one before? Sorry. The hero has a group of friends, whose only purpose is to provide comic relief and put some senti dialogue towards the end. Heard that too? Hey … here is a good one. The hero jumps over the heroine’s fence in the middle of the night and asks for a kiss.. What are you saying? You have heard that before…? Gimme a break!

After a long time, ARR has come up with an above par sound track. He averages it out by a below par background score – guess he has outsourced it to chandrabose or sirpi. If you have the additional misfortune having to see the movie in Rukmani theatre in Koyambedu, my sympathies are with you.

Heard Jo is likely to retire after this movie. It shows. High time Jo. So long and thanks for all the fish. Hope to see you soon in roles similar to the ones played by Sukanya Aunty, in this movie.

If you feel I am as carping nitpick who cant see the brighter side of life, here is what I found as a saving grace – BHOOMIKA. She looks graceful as a homely girl in the first half and ravishing as a modern girl in the second half. That’s the only thing jill about the movie. Girls may find another silverlining in Surya’s looks. But if you like to watch Surya or Bhoomika, I recommend you download some wall papers from the internet. That works much cheaper than watching this movie - especially at Rukmani theatre.

One hell hole of a theatre complex. They stopped the AC 10 minutes into the movie leaving you as their offering for their home grown mosquitoes. Their idea of sound effect is blast the hall during every song sequence. And I paid Rs.87 for this. Free market economy, you see.

Sillinnu will remain the last movie I have seen in 'your area'
