Double dhamaka at Madurai

I switched on the TV today morning after an eventual Saturday night. India thrashed Australia in the T20 match, ManU drubbing Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park and my darling Massa taking pole position in his home grand prix.. I saw a marquee running in Kalaingar TV yesterday saying that they are going to telecast “Mozhi’ for the second time. The movie had started and I should have missed some 45 min.

I went to Madurai this Feb I guess along with my uncle to see few temples in and around Thanjavur. We went to my aunt’s place in Madurai and we didn’t have any plans as such. So I took my cousin brother Jagan to watch some movies. I was looking at the posters outside and there was a theatre complex (sorry I forgot the name) where they were showing 3 different movies, “Mozhi”, “Pachai kili Muthu charam”(PKMC) and “Pokiri”.

Being the greatest fan of Vijay(of course sarcastic) I decided to try out the other 2 movies. I am a person who watches the movies for the directors. Mozhi was Radhamohan’s movie and PKMC was gautam menon’s movie. I wanted to watch PKMC first because of Gautam’s reputation of giving very good movies but because of my cousin’s wish we went for Mozhi first.

Mozhi – in Tamil means language. This should be the best movie I saw this year and I wish this doesn’t remain the best as I am eagerly awaiting the release of “Dasavatharam”. The story is about a music composer who falls in love with a deaf and dumb girl who lives in his own apartment. It is a very sensible movie and the whole credit should go to the director Radha Mohan. Of course Jothika, Prithviraj and Prakash raj did their roles to perfection. It is one movie which you can watch in theatre with your family. I think such movies are becoming very rare nowadays where directors give more importance to masala stuffs rather than giving good movies.I wanted to take my parents to the movie but my mom watched it in pirated CD and my father is not interested in watching movies. So I had to drop that idea. :(


But I wonder how many of you have watched Radha Mohan’s first movie. Any guesses for the movie name?

The movie is “Azhagiya theye”. To me this movie was slightly better than Mozhi. I watched this movie in Udhayam theatre during my final year of college with some 20 of my class mates. It is a movie about a young man who wants to become a big movie director. This was also a Prakash raj production with Navya Nair donning the lead role with Prasanna. The story begins with Navya getting engaged to Prakash raj but she doesn’t want to get married to him. She introduces Prasanna as her boy friend to Prakash raj, and Prakash raj lets them stay together in his house and only after that the whole movie starts. This is one movie where the director had pictured a living together relationship with dignity unlike movies like ‘Salaam namaste’. It is one of my most favorite movies and a must see if you are a fan of good movies.




After Mozhi it was the turn of PKMC. We went for the evening show and my cousin didn’t like it at all. But it was a good movie but bad to gautam menon’s standards. If one watches the movie without knowing anything about the storyline or the character Jothika plays in the movie it will be a good watch. We thought of going for a late night show after PKMC but decided against it.

For ppl in Bangalore I am going to give you some shocker now. We watched these two movies in a A/C theatre with DTS for Rs.20/ticket. So for 2 movies we spent just Rs.80. So when are u ppl travelling to Madurai. :)
