OPT : Malamaal Weekly

One movie per week has become a habit, a routine.
Its as if you dont get a good night's sleep if u
dont shred that 100 rupee note at PVR. Not just
me, every one - Sand, Geo, Kir - seems to enjoy
doing this..

And thats the reason we dont care a damn thing
about film reviews. Even if it doesnt have a ****ing
star rating, we dont bother.. The lesser the number
of stars, the better :-)

March 22 was opted by the OPT team for Malamaal Weekly.
Priyadarshan film.
He is known for his 'inspired' films..
'Inspired' means copied :-)
If Garam Masala was a big hit, Kyunki failed to impress.
Both were remakes of malayalam films (Boeing Boeing ,
Thalavattam)

The reports about Malamaal were not good.. But who cares?
:-)
The chief guest for this time's OPT was Alex.
He observed that "this is my first movie after coming
to Bangalore". Amazing! 2 years, no movies!!

Forum never looked so under-crowded..
So many vacant parking lots, not many ppl inside..
Wonder why..

After dinner from Kairali, came back to forum.
Bought 2 slice bottles, 3 softies, while waited for
the clock to tick from 9 to 10PM.

Kir joined in the last minute
Alex asked to the geniuses around him "What is PVR?"
Kiron - R is Road Show
Rat - PV is Purple Vision
Alex dint want to remain silent..
No.. PVR is PV Narasimha Rao
Sand - Where is N ?
Geo - N is silet
(Keep wondering what 'silet' is)
;-)


We got in..
I was carrying a bag (dress). And the mischief in us
made sure we did not remain thirsty inside the theatre.
We stole in, a slice bottle ;-)

Alex nicely stretched out his legs and rested 'em
nicely on to, what HE thought was a foot-rest.
A stare from the girl who was seated on that chair,
and scolding from me was needed for Alex to retrieve
his foot from her arm-rest :-S
(Thank God, her BF was busy on phone.. Varnaa... !! )

The movie started with narration about a village.
Voice of Nasirudeen Shah!
Now you know, why the titles read "Thanks : Nasirudden Shah"

The movie.. Well, comic alright, but all seen comedies
for us mallus.. But the rest of the seated personalities
were seen laughing most of the time. Songs yuck..
There was an item number by Rakhi Sawant.
She looked as if she was starving for 17 days..

Reema Sen was the only pleasant thing in the movie to
watch. Her screen presence is a bit less, though.

The climax was typical Priyadarshan style..
All the characters will be seen running (as if it is the
trans-atlantic marathon) amidst a lot of confusion..
A happy(?) ending , in the end..

A cameo role by Innocent (Mal comedy actor)
Well, the whole film is centred around this character.


After the movie, dropped Alex, and ZZZzzz at Autobahn.
