ONE OF ITS KIND!!

One of my UG friends (Nellai-ite) got transferred from Hyderabad to Chennai. As a way of welcoming him, and ensuring that we have a perfect get together, we planned to meet up in theatre (yes, certainly bizzare), and I reached the theatre half-an hour before the show, so as to get the tickets without much chaos...

Was little surprised seeing no queue being formed there in the counter, and felt the tickets were sold out. Still went and approached the person in the counter, and was relieved when found that the tickets were available. My surprise now transformed into curiosity as that was the first day that the movie has been released, and still I got the tickets in no time.

I asked the counter wala, "Ennanga koottamae illa, padam eppadi?". He responded with a mischievous smile and said, "Padam NALLA thaanga irukku". Etho ulkuthu irunthathu lesa apo thaan enakku therinjathu... By now my friend has come, and we had the ceremonial, inquisitive enquires after the welcomes.

Now we got into the theatre and got ourself ready for viewing the movie. It was named "PORI". My intention, conviction or justification of selecting the movie was mainly because of the faith that I had instilled in Jeeva. My perception was that, next to Vikram he was the only hero sensible in terms of selecting and filtering neat stories.

All of the aforementioned convictions went for a toss in just over two torturous hours. Literally we were just fed with a "four letter word". Had I been in the shoes of Jeeva, I would have given the director a tight slap, while he had narrated the story. And as my friend rightly pointed out, even if Jeeva comes up with five consecutive neat stories, they would be definitely dumped by the public in the box office. Such is the enormity of the damage done in this single movie. Blunders beyond repair.

The story is an one-liner. The hero fights and wins eventually after being beaten up by the villain. The sole consolation in the entire movie was a new concept in villainism, involving LAND ENCROACHMENT.

Let me put the review in Kaaka Kaaka terms: "Ethanayo koduramaana thiraipadangal, koramaana thiraikathaigal naan paathirken. Aana intha padatha paathappo, SETHUTTAEN..."

Mothathil PORI, SORI... Yes, for sure one of its kind!!
