Jessie



Rating: 5/5

Infliction of pain upon one's soul is the most addictive entertainment ever known to man. Love, in all its glory, puts him right in centre of that pain & makes him laugh n cry at the same moment. Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya re-kindles the lover in you. It moves your heart so much, that you end up crying even while taking a bath… or even while jogging to its music…

It's magical, as Karthik keeps telling throughout the movie. Every sec of the movie is woven with love. Rahman's music crushes the soul and just makes my heart throb. Lighting & camerawork is awesome. By the way, I would like to enquire the guys on the sets, what is the significance of the number 8004(Ref: GVM 8004 on the ship set in a song). The alphabets GVM was so obvious. No marks for guessing director's name. But is 8004 a date?? April, 1980?? Did something happen to GVM then??

The central park scene alone is enough to prove Simbu's acting prowess vis-à-vis the director's story telling. "Ava peru Jessie, Jessie!" is one line which will make you burst out – with tears flowing hot from your eyes. Simbu has matured a lot from his earlier movies or should I assume GVM has extracted every penny's worth out of him. Trisha is like a breeze, when she comes in those printed - patterned sarees. Oh man! It's not true that only girls are inconsistent. I have seen personally many guys who are inconsistent too.

I wish I could just talk to Trisha... reason out n convince her not to marry a dumbass in US. I wish I could do a whole lot of things. But hey, perhaps, it is the way it is meant to be. Simbu would have never made it big if he had hooked up with her… or maybe he would've made it even bigger… I leave it to the gods.

Lovely is 1 word for this movie. So is, awesome, romantic, brilliant, heart-wrenching, er.. that's a lot of words. Yet, this movie is sweet n simple. N deserves every word of appreciation. But the most fitting word would be "Magical" as Karthik puts it…

I'd love to watch this again n again n again…

Good one! But 5/5 is a over-shoot. Maybe, 4.5 or even 4.9 seems fitting ;)

Rating: 5/5 What could I possibly say about this movie, that can do it any justice!! I smiled when he smiled. I wept when he wept. And I was left palpitating in dismay and panic, when Samantha deserted him. Loneliness is the tallest gallows one could ever encounter. You’d just be hanging in there. Haha, as fun as it would seem from the outset, it kills you on the inside. Can’t breathe. You’d hate to open your eyes, as the noose of reality might choke your eyeballs out of their sockets. A confused thick clog of pain blobbing its way through your constrained oesophagus.   The story is woven with intricacies of love and relationships. When Theodore slowly falls for Samantha, byte by byte, it is perhaps the bite-the-bait period of a relationship… when the mouse finds the cheese, smells it good and nourishing. I agree, its a bad simile, coz the mouse is going to lose just its life. Women, on the other hand, bleach your brains in acid and vacuum your heart of every mm of ...

An exposition on Mersalayitten

Mersalayitten, I, 2014 Album Artist: A R Rahman Singers: Anirudh Ravichander, Neeti Mohan Lyrics: Kabilan If I have to nit pick, the pronunciation during the course of the song would beg it to be transliterated as merasalayitten. Since, that extra ‘a’ didn't hamper the beauty of the song, I’ll choose to overlook that. Duh! Grumpy me. Oh! And.. A word of caution here. I am just on a spree to record as many thoughts as possible here about this marvellous song/word/lyrics. So there won’t be any order or coherence. Not that it matters. Nor does any of my other posts do. But still, remember, you were cautioned. Well, no body needs to understand the meaning of a song, to enjoy it. That said, it would be a great travesty to love this song, sans analysis though. So, as a native tamil speaker myself, I ventured in to researching the song’s titular word - mersalayitten. no marks for guessing it to be a madras slang. Though having used this word (context irrelevant he...
