My suggestion to Nayantara
Aerobics in the morning, acting classes in the evening and a proper diet in between, just in case you are keen on not joining the league of Mumtaj or Namita.
My word of appreciation for Surya
Keep it up. You are now one more rare addition to my list of favorite actors.
My request to Harris Jayaraj
It’s difficult to listen to dialogues with both ears closed. So, if you can increase the level of harmony in your BGM and reduce the decibel intensities, I would be lot happier. You don’t need a Goutham Menon to compose good music. So, let us get to hear more such “Oru maalais” and “Sutum vizhis”.
My question to AR Murugadoss
You had a star cast. You had a gripping storyline. You had two super hit songs. You had given the movie necessary hype. You had a riveting first half in the movie. But, why did you have to let me down in the subsequent half?
My thoughts about the story
I did not write it down and I pretty much forgot everything 15 mins after I walked out of the theatre.
My assessment of the movie
There are negatives. But the positives definitely outshine them.
Saving the best for the last…
My admiration for the phenomenon called ASIN
Can’t you figure out? Am mesmerized. Am enthralled. Am bowled over. And so am speechless (or should I say wordless?)

@Vee-jay
ReplyDeleteNah... Am not gonna let that fool me... If am gonna be dating her everyday, then maybe it's of concern. Am only gonna sit back and enjoy her on screen... and for that, I love her the way she is :o))))
you should have put ASIN in the first line.
ReplyDelete@kaps
ReplyDeleteI should have... But I thought I should save the best for last :o))))
But if you look at it, I have only put A SIN in the first line ;o)))
LOL! Good one... Innum Asin hangovera?!! She was really good..
ReplyDeleteSomu,
ReplyDeleteInnovative way of commenting abt the movie :) Njoyed it ! Btw..am waiting to watch it..Monday eppo varumo !!!!!
Oh man! Nayanthara was looking awful. Surya and Asin were the only postives abt the movie. The scene in which Surya cries after seeing Asin get hit just before he blacks out was a moving scene!
ReplyDeleteHey somu,
ReplyDeletefirst timer in ur blog!
nice one machi....keep it rockin...
ellavu peeru kalambirukenga ippadi? asinna vittutungapa sollitten...illa enga thalai kitta solludiven..apuran kisaldhan...LOL!!!
cheers
Get sambharred!!!
Filtered by sambhar....
Smitten by Asin? Hmmm... :-)
ReplyDeleteNice review , short and sweet! :-)
ASIN or BISIN, i DONT CARE. Yet another movie, where an excellent story is stolen from a super hit hollywood movie. Once again our directors have proved that it is in fact possible to remake a super hit movie into a total mess. whats with Tamil movies and Psycho heroes ??
ReplyDeleteKollywood formula is simple : you want a HIT movie ?? make sure ure hero has some kind of mental defect, it can be memory loss, or say multiple personality, or something like that.
gimme a break, No more psychos pleeeeezzzz !!!
@Nithya
ReplyDeleteYeah looks like a long standing hangover for the time being :o)))
@Swapna
The flashback and the two songs were good... But then I felt even the initial build on Surya's short term memory loss was nice... the introduction of the second villain was when I thought the movie started to sag...
@Jb
Thanks. Monday vanthaachu ! Let me know how you liked the movie :o)
@Ganga
Thanks. Am not into reviewing... and so thoughts wud write it the way I did :o))
@JVC
Aww don't even talk about Nayantra ... I liked her a lot in AYYA and CM... Somehow her modern look fails to impress me :o)
@Sambhar
Thanks machi for dropping by and taking the time to comment...
Well at this rate a asin mandram can be started... Just need numbers to start it off ;o)
@Vinesh
Very much... Thanks a lot buddy !
@Anon
Everyone who has seen memento has felt the way you did ! I think Chennai is short of new ideas for stories... and even if they have a good storyline (thanks to hollywood), in an attempt to indianise it they really mess up with the screenplay !
@Kalai
I was told even for an international audience, the story of memento was a bit confusing... Am sure not too many people might have got it... But the Box Office is painting a different picture altogether... Looks like Gajini might soon join the league of CM and Anniyan !
Surya is visibly short in that 'Suttum vizhi ..' song - during those dance movements.. and your last speechless paragraph was very expressive.. can understand your feelings and visualise how you would have watched the movie..
ReplyDelete@Ram
ReplyDeleteTrue. They gave him all the figure hugging Tee-shirts that kinda made him look short. Not that he is any tall anyways.
I saw him here in Tidel Park during the shoot of Kaaka Kaaka... and boy ! He was really short !
Somu...a bit late here. But you can add me to that list of Asin admirers. 'Asin'gama illama solliren! (Wifey gave me permission, you see!) ;)
ReplyDeleteHey somu
ReplyDeleteWatched Gajini on monday..Movie is cool..! Just enjoyed watching surya...he looks very handsome in the movie :P
Apt review..... n I am as speechless abt Asin as u are.....
