I got some good feedback for my last post, thanks to kavitha and to her characters... so am back again to write something. Had a pretty good vacation at my hometown, did not fail to have fun this time as well. Me and kavitha have a mutual agreement that if we celebrate Xmas in chennai, then new year celebration should be in nagercoil and vice versa next year. So last year Xmas was celebrated here and we left the same day to nagercoil for a special event, Manoj's wedding. Had a good time with her family and her cousins, and as expected had a hard time with her. She appointed herself as the wedding planner and was walking around here and there with a piece of paper, allotting some work to all of us. Vinod gave us all a surprise, everyone believed that he would be missed out at the big party... no one expected him to turn up at the right time. Manoj had a hard time during his bachelor's party but still he enjoyed it.
Kavitha was very busy arranging things for the previous day reception and I did not find time to talk to her. In between she was playing the movie Mamma Mia in Nameeta's laptop and she started dancing for a song imitating the steps in it. She is crazy about the movie, i don't know why. Rarely we go to movie theatres in chennai as we get only little time to spend together during weekends. The only movie that we both mutually agreeed to see in the theatre was "Taare Zameen Par". Now watching movies in theater has totally stopped because of her. We are totally opposite poles when it comes to movies. When Mamma Mia was released in chennai she kept bugging me to take her. But I heard from my friends and especially from Sajeeve that the movie is framed on ABBA songs and every 5 minutes there is a song and people start dancing. I was not ready for it, i need some action or thriller movie. I cannot see my favorite action hero JB Pierce Brosnan singing and dancing around. So i decided not to watch the movie in the theatre, i planned to get her an original DVD of Mamma Mia. But she doesn't want that as i failed to take her to watch the movie in theaters. And she also said that she will not come out with me for any movies in theater hereafter. Mamma Mia screwed my life only... I don't know what is special in that movie, she keeps telling me that the movie is like this like that....bla...bla...bla and etc..
I wanted to know the story , so I asked her to narrate it. I heard from her that the story is like this, a girl is going to get married and she has no idea who her father is, so she come's across her mother's diary and finds that her mother has 3 useless boyfriends. Now she wants to know which useless her father is. She invites all the 3 for her wedding, her mother is shocked to see them. The story goes on to show whether she finds her right father or not...and finally in the climax, the mother marries Pierce Brosnan, but the girl is not sure whether Brosnan is her real father. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
So I think, the girl will start reading the diary again to find whether her mother has got any more boyfriend's, and I expect the release of "Mamma Mia II".
What crap!!!
Sajeeve bro.... you were right.
I was wondering why this movie is named "Mamma Mia" they should have kept the movie name as "Pappa Neeya"
Forget about Pappa Neeya, the most awesome and worth watching movie I saw after a very longtime is "Slumdog Millionaire". It was a touching love story and the screenplay was absolutely fantastic. I am happy for ARR as well, for winning the golden globe.
He deserves it.
In between all this, Big B has criticized SM saying that India has been shown as a "Third world dirty underbelly developing nation"
Well..open your eyes, this is a country where majority of the population live below the poverty line without basic amenities. Step out of your Mecedes-Benz and walk into the slums of mumbai. The story is set on this theme, not like some bollywood flick, set in some foreign land appealing to NRIs. So you might find it distressing. What you see in SM is real India. The movie is not about something you don't see...but about something you don't WANT to see. The movie does not show the whole image of India. It is just a fraction of Indian society, in the form of slum dwellers. How can one expect to put in everything about India? Do you want all the IT parks and the big malls to be shown or you want a kuthu paatu from Abhishek and Aishwaraya?
Big B let me remind you about IBM's ad on tv "Stop Talking Start Doing"
