Why god? Why r u doing this to us? :(

When reality is about to strike , no one could really do anything about it.
Its too late.
The inevitable is on its way to make an emphatic statement.
Of course we had known about this long back, but as the gloomy day looms nearer, i cant help but for my ominous, unsettling gut feeling.
If only there was a slender possibility of procrastinating the grim event.. Uff!
Thru times of unbound joy and extreme hardships..

Review - Villu

UPDATED:
Only for those who have been through this, or for those who dnt hve an idea of seeing it.

Movie Name : VILLU
Director : Prabhu Deva
Cast : Vijay, Nayanthara, P.Raj,Vadivelu,..


Plot :
Pugal(Vijay) is a sincere police officer working undercover(which u learn later) to capture a worldwide drug-Narcotics network and in the process tries to redeem his family's lost reputation(which again u learn later). The movie starts with Pugal doing an insane jump to save a girl from being raped(?!) by the local rowdies and to also get his usual hyper-ised introduction.One of the onlookers exclaims "Is it Spiderman or Superman?" Yes yes, that insane a jump it was. A fight follows the jump and a song follows the fight. Vijay dances his ass off and Prabhudeva joins too for a music bit. Dancing has always been his USP and he proves it yet again, but unlike Kuruvi, he doesn't dance much in any other song.


And the next scene a terrorist(?) is on his usual routine smuggling at the harbour, when our hero after managing to reach the ship swimming underwater, confronts him and assures to help him, from the police that is in disguise in the harbor as workers. When questioned how he knew, he asks Racca(the terrorist) to have a look at their leather boots. Ah Sneaky! Pugal finally saves him from the police after a jet-ski pursuit, only to hit him in the face and knock him unconscious.


Else where, Racca's partners JD(Prakash Raj) and Annan(I forgot the name) meet and finds tat either hadn't killed Racca. And the goons kill their emissaries in the other's camp to show their friendship. Ada pavingala! Meantime, Pugal falls in love(we all do!) with Janavi(9thara), who happens to be JD's daughter. After a few scenes (with too much emphasis on Thara's cleavage!) she too reciprocates. Also Maada(Vadivelu) tries(in vain) to tickle our funny bone.


When Pugal goes to Munich to meet JD, he confesses that he killed Racca and has a discrete conversation with him. Next, Pugal goes to a club and dances with some foreign women, which for some reason angers one of the Annan's hoodlum (Sreeman) and a fight ensues.Pugal emerges unscathed from the fight and thus on a bid to seek revenge, Annan and his allakaingal try to kill him with a sniper from a maruthi Omni! That s when Annan realizes that Pugal is his son after seeing his mother(his wife). *Interval*


The rest of the story is predictable. Annan opens all his secret to his fake 'son', which he realizes and gets killed in a flight crash. Pugal escapes the flight crash by hanging onto the aircraft wing and by housing a parachute in his blazer! Also our hero beats every attempt by JD to kill him. The director manages to squeeze in a few songs too between the fights, where Nayan wears diff. dresses, each time getting shorter! The flashback is told by Pugal's fake mom when Jaanavi complains to her about Pugal.


Pugal's dad (Vijay again), an army officer dies in a skirmish at the hands of JD and gang, corrupt and immoral army officials. Also, after death he is labelled a smuggler and is stripped of his army credentials. Not just that, Pugal's mom (Ranjitha) is tatooed on the forehead as "Smugglers wife" LOL


As planned, Pugal lures JD to India, kills Racca, gets buried alive and still manages to escape, kills 20 adiyalunga and finally confronts JD as expected. He makes him confess to the sudden oormakkal who appear out of nowhere, that his dad was a sincere, true and patriotic martyr and then kills him. *The end*


Comments:


Very old story line of redeeming family reputation. (Apoorva sagotharargal, Departed, national treasure..)
I m not commenting on the skywards-flying-bone breaking-stunt scenes. (Does he always carry a jet pack?). They are better than Kuruvi to say the least.
And Vijay needs to do something different. not jus trim his moush and wear a ear-stud to differentiate two characters!


Costumes were too good for vijay, too short for Nayan and too stupid for Prakashraj, who comes in pink, violet, golden blazers, just to show he is ostentatious.
Music was very typical of DSP. none of the songs or BGMs tune-catching or mind blowing.
Vadivelu's comedy shines at very few places. (His animated fight with a jersey cow was boredom than comical!)


Finally vijay turns sensible with the punch dialogues, but
Too many hyper-exaggerated-impossible scenes in the movie like
*Getting buried alive, and emerging from the ground thanks to a storm that blew away the sand!
*Flying in an aircraft holding its wing.
*Blowing off 10 cars around him.
*Driving a Jet ski underwater a ship and emerge out on the other side.
And what happens to Nayanthara, Vadivelu in the end? nobody knows.


Rating : Not more than 6/10..


After years of trying, Vijay creates a telugu movie instead of remaking one. :D

At Apocalypse

When i die, i wanna die laughing out loud(not of Paranoia)
And i almost did today.
what would u wanna do?

p.s. i swear i will never again be seated behind someone on a bike in the hills.

Go Mammoose! Go!

Mammooty, aged 55, has now entered the blogging realms from january the 1st. His blog, penned in the native language will express his views on politics, social issues, etc. (wonder if Paravai m.amma has one) and will also be a direct contact with his fans. I guess we cant expect him to blog on imaginary cooked-up situations, burnt philosophy, zany comparisons or sex talks, but lets hope he does a Aamir-Sharukh with Lallettan(Mohanlal).. :D
