Mad-about-him (Madhavan)

*Please See: This post is dedicated to Sowmya :-) *

This is like my renewed internship for the second time with DNA. After my initial boredom days, they asked me to cover a showroom launch in UB City. Lisa Ray was the Chief Guest. So my editor asked me to interview her!

Surprisingly, even after affected by the dangerous disease (Cancer) she looked extremely good. The way she spoke itself conveys the confidence she has that is enough to survive the disease! With the two minutes time I had, I asked her around three questions. Number one being how did she handle the fact that she is been victimised by 'it', secondly being any word of hope she would like to give for people who are suffering from this incurable disease and lastly her experience in working with Deepa Mehta's latest flick 'What's cooking with Stella'. Being extremely diplomatic with her answers and hardly giving any elaborate replies, I had to dump her story! Nevermind I get a Rado wallet for wasting time :p

Ok now, forget that! I got a call from my office to cover another event that was happening in the same place and guess what Maddy had come to UB city to promote his upcoming film 'Teen Patti' along with other debutant's, director and producer. They gave a press conference there and typically PROMOTING their film by saying all good things. But this guy was all hippy and happy and just stayed himself throughout the event.

Wanting to interview him, I waited around 30 minutes for him in the hotel that was in the same venue. Now, this completely put me off. I just didn't know what to do apart from gazing at couples who publicly romanced and rich as****s who just didn't know what to with money! (Yes, I saw a guy purchase an umbrella for 6000 bucks!). He finally came out from his room looking visibly tired. (Poor guy!) Nevertheless, he charmed with his typical 'maddy' smile, believe me even the journalists went gaga over him.

Yes, he's put on weight and doesn't look like how he used to look like before. But his smile never fades! Guess that's the trick he uses to wow girls even though many 'new chocolate boys' (!) have forayed in the industry.

So in the little time I got, I questioned him only about food. Being called as the sexiest vegetarian among other hot men is no joke. And to put off with meat completely is no big deal. He answered all of them patiently and behaved like a gentlemen. Compared to these just born heroes who throw their price for giving one big hit (see below to see whom I am talking about ;)), he's far better.

He was done with interviews and was ready to pose for the cameras. He signed off with warm hugs and yes, the trademark smile. An extremely warm person with no 'heavy' top load :p He seriously makes people 'Mad-about-him' and I was no exception.

Signing off with MY trademark smile :D

Post Script: If at all I get to interview him I promise sowmya, I will get an autograph for you :-)

I finally saw VTV in a local theater in Bangalore. After several attempts, I watched the film fully(Did you know, first I went to Ajantha Theatre to watch that film and power cut immediately after Hossana song. They reimbursed our tickets and I saw the entire film after a day in lavanya theatre). Guess only people like me will have such stupid experiences like this.

Coming to the point, I saw the film finally and loved Simbu and Trisha! For simbu, I just didn't imagine in my wildest dreams that he could act well. Subtle and extremely minimal expressions unlike his previous films. For Trisha, she looked so beautiful. The clothes she wore inspires me to wear saris! She was super hot, except for the fact that her role in the film was extremely confusing.

The story is simple. Boy meets girl, its love at first sight, and they both go around the city (they even go to my favorite place moonrackers:-) ) , exchange hugs, kisses and finally the girl backs off. Now this is new to tam films. Though an extremely common case today :p

So now what? I liked every part of it. But still, there are few things that went wrong. Number One being the climax. The climax of the film is the best part ever, I mean that's the most gutsy climax ever a director can give. But what's bothering me in that?

There is this scene were Trisha meets Simbu in a bridge after a gap of two years. She sees him and he sees her with her most ugly looking hus-band! Cut to watching Simbu's film. She sits next to him walks out the theatre and parts as friends with a handshake.

I mean a girl who can't even take few steps to talk to him on that day, flies a thousand plus miles to watch his movie? I don't see the logic in this!

Moreover, the line "enga appa strict" has no meaning attached to it apart from repeating it over thousand times! There is no establishing scene as to how strict is her appa. May be Menon should change it to "enga anna romba strict". The bro character in the film was one.

And finally Menon ends with a note saying "You can still be friends with you ex"! Personally if you ask me, you can still be friends provided that both of you are not committed to someone else or vice versa. Even if one of them is married or committed to someone else, its a DISASTER to keep in touch with them. Simbu looked like a complete loser in the last scene, while she happily walks off.

Hmmm, apart from this I loved every other part. Especially the dialogues of the film. They are penned in such a manner that it urges me to hear it from someone who can tell me that. Then there were these typical Menon's like flying to another city to met his love, having a mallu connect, the guy's super emotions for the girl etc. I wonder which guy falls head over heels with a girl like that!
