OPT: Boys !!
Can you believe it ? It took so many number of years, and so many more number of miles, to watch the movie Boys :-S
Not an OPT in the strict sense - coz we watched the movie on laptop. An original rented DVD. Digital stump stuna print.
The movie was laudable in many senses. For a change, the boys in the movie are real boys, and not oversized overaged overacting super heroes. The combination of boys was very well planned. The director seems to have hand picked one piece from each of the foundry. But the common thing that binds them together is music. But this part of the story evolves only when the seekbar has gone half the way thru the screen.. Music, in fact, for them was a matter of survival - rather than any passion. But the same music binds them together in the end...
Vivek is the ubiquitous comedy helping character, in this film too. He works for a bank, but manages to rope in a lot of funds for all the ventures of the boys (plus a girl). Wonder how :-S
The film gets a little filmi, with an earthquake, an untimely demise, unwantedly stretched parental advice sessions etc... But for a tamil movie, this is nothing. And is highly forgive-able :)
(A tsunami would have been a nice bet. But that was an unfamiliar word, when the movie hit the theatres first)
Nice music. And that ayyappa song (never heard it on cassette!) is good too. Rahman's ayyappa bhakti gaanam. Sounds highly contrasting :-D
The movie has a Rat in it. So I'm the happy :-))
Over and Out
PS: Junction ilottu kettiyeduthittu payyannu vere paniiyonnumille ?!! - very valid question :D
