Bommarillu : Movie Review
Not many of you might have heard of this word "Bommarillu". Even I hadnt, till Basha said, "The hero in Bommarillu resembles you a lot". When I asked "why do you say so", I did not get any answer. A good movie marketing tactic ? ;-)
Bommarillu is a Telugu movie (Yes thats right)
And this is the first Telugu movie that I've watched.
This year has seen a lot of firsts (in terms of movies that i've watched from the "foreign" language category). The first among these firsts was 'Mungaaru Malhe'. Thats the first Kannada movie, I've ever watched.
Bommarillu is the story of an over-protected son (played by Boys fame Sidhartha). This son gets anything and everything in his life, thanks to his rich dad. But none of these makes him happy. Coz anything he gets is his dad's choice, and not his. He tries to be a good son, and doesnt want to hurt his loving dad (Prakash Raj). But he wants 2 things in his life, to be of his choice - his wedding and his career. But he is scared to talk about these to his dad. Such is the environment in the Bommarillu. Bommarillu, btw, means 'a house of toys', if I got the translation right.
Sidhu's marriage is fixed, again, as per his dad's wish. He is unhappy. He couldnt let it down, coz he has no good excuse to do so. The girl is beautiful, the family is good, and everything seems perfect. But Sidhu isnt happy. And thats when he meets this girl Hasini (Boys fame Genelia) in a temple. A lucky-go-getter girl, she lives life, in a different style. The kid who serves tea at Sultan's teashop, the road side ice-cream vendor Ganesh, and any passerby for that matter is her friend. Such is her cheerful jovial character. They fall in love, and how they take it forward is very nicely sketched in the movie. A nice entertainer.
With some good songs, and a short but very fundoo dance step too (In the song Appudo ippudo eppudo).
A good-watch movie.
Tail
1. My current favorite song is a Kannada song - Ninnindale from the movie 'Milana'. Sung by Sonu Nigam. Humming by Chitra, I guess..
2. At the end of the movie, I tried to figure out, why Basha said so. I guess, coz like for Sidhu, for me too, galz are dont cares. More on this topic here. But Sidhu finally falls into love. Mera kya hogaa !! :-P
3. Time to sleep! 12.15AM. ZZzzz.z...

Did u lift that straight from a movie review? Am sure u didn't understand a word of what was happeneing in bommarillu ... ! anyways, i like these attempts u make at appreciating "phorein" language movies.. :-) u hv hell lot of patience pal(or is it that u have so much of idle time? )! Hats Off!!
It wasnt deliberate, but I had not mentioned in the write-up - The movie had subtitles in English :-D
Hats Off buddy for venturing into foreign films.. I too had nice time watching this movie with the Telugu buddies in my hostel. Incidently I have watched 5 Telugu movies in the last year.. Luckily all of them had english subtitles. :-D
its a nice feeling to know that there are nice films in our neighborhood screens. Also inspires me into delving to this foreign territory, as far as learning a language goes (for a change, i'm not talking about java or C++ ogoshhh)
