Vettaiyadu Villayadu: A movie experience of one of a kind!

Anybody who tried to watch the movie here in Chicago area will vouch for that. 7:00 pm screening got cancelled because they couldn't get the "potti" in time. They started the 10:00 pm screening a little late. Like two hours late. So the movie started.

First half ended.

The second half had an interesting twist! The movie started in reverse. I mean that literally and figuratively and geometrically! The second half started with the climax and proceeded to the scene before that and the one before that, so on and so forth! And all this appeared on the screen upside down! The crowd was uproarious! I think, they wound the reel for the second half in reverse or it was some kind of divine intervention. It took another thirty minutes to decide there was nothing the organizers could do and so they said they'll refund the money to all the 400 odd people. I came back home at 3.30 am after watching only half the movie!

Such instances are when it makes me think seriously about that three letter guy up above the sky! This movie is seriously jinxed!

First half review- CSI: Madurai! The first half was a right mix of CSI, Law and Order, Dr. Phil. And I mean that in a good way!

Overheard from the crowd:

"Padathula comedy undungala?"
"Padathula operator dhan comedy!"

Driver, siri da siri, dog time means cat time will also!

Tilo, welcome. Unfortunately, the operator and the viewing public were not as charming as folks in Cinema Paradiso

WA, yeah, yeah.

Sudha, indha madhiri nal-ullam padaitha sandrorgal irukardhunaladhan mazha varudhu.

En neram....avlodhan. I liked Kamal in this movie da. For a change, romba amaidhiya panirundhan. We're always used to his histrionics. But this was a change.

Ramgopal said...
