Bharathbala-Rahman-Dhanush this combo enough to have expectation on this movie. I was waiting for the release date to see the magic on screen first day. Sharavana called a week before and said movie is getting released in Auro 3D and said to book for that at any case. Wednesday night booking will start usually at sathyam cinemas. Tuesday night, remembered to book but out of tiredness slept early :(
Wednesday morning 7'o clock, got up and checked website. Auro 3D screens fully in red and other sathyam screens full except S2. Decided to go for S2 finally as i dont want to miss this on first day. Started calling the gang for confirmation.
7:45 AM called sharavana, he asked to book seats beyond screen. Next called anand, he was sleeping and said hello in a low voice and once i said movie booking, he said in a loudly ok ok. He confirmed kannan n pondy too would come and asked to call radha. Called radha and he said yes and asked to wait for a min that he will call jith to get confirm. 8:00AM, already S2 getting booked row by row and i saw seats only at 4th row and that too getting booked at every refresh. Got a conf call from radha n jith and they confirmed too. Then called ravish and finally booked 8 tickets.
We missed BV as he had a family function on friday. Thursday, BV felt that he would miss to join and afternoon he said he going to come as his function cancelled. Checked the layout again and there a seat before 10 rows from where we booked. Still he asked to book as he thought like atleast all can go together. Booked a single ticket. But time not good for him as he said again at afternoon that his function scheduled again :( Later we called sundar to join in place of BV.
Friday came. As there was rain in the eve of thursday, i thought of to go theatre before rain come. Unfortunatly rain started at 3 itself. I worried to indira about raining and she laughed at me as there was still 4 hrs there for the film. Rain didnt stop till 5. Ravish msged me heavy rain to irritate me. At 5 30 Jith started in his car with pondy,kannan and sundar. Radha started to his room to come directly to theatre. I planned to start after 15 min. Kannen called me in middle and asked to take service road as there was heavy traffic in tharamani signal. Myself and ravish started in bike and called anand about the short route. I reached theatre in 10 mins then radha and anand too joined there. At 6:15 sharavana came with his usual costume and jith & co too joined. Now the problem is whos going to sit in tat bv place as it is 10 rows beyond. Anand volunteered to sit there :) we all settled in seat with thalaivaa trailer. Myself with ravish n sharavana aside.
Film started. Brilliant Camera work and scintillating rahman music overwhelmed other things. Sharavana didnt like the movie from starting, this is expected as he never like slow paced romance and only like mass subjects. Ravish actually feared on seeing that villain and saw me whenever he came on screen. After long wait(it seemed like that) interval came. Gathered at reception with radha favourite pop-corn,hog-dog, puffs. Jith remained in queue and offered me cold coffee. I said hot coffee. After a long chat we Went back and settled. After some 10mins jith remembered my hot coffee and he passed through, it came to my hand.
Movie went in different track, hostage, dry area, misplaced songs. As climax came, ravish lost the grip and started laughing for everything. One last song(top of the album), Nenje ellu still to come. As it is a modern paced song, thought of how that would fit in that situation. Song started like anything as a dream sequence(no way it has to be placed there). Ravish laughed out and started making rocket with tissue. Myself and sharavana started talking. I shocked when sea came into desert and movie ended with usual tamil cinema climax. Just thought, all good ingredients are there like bharatbala, rahman, dhanush, brillient camera, acting etc but still something was missing and didnt get into compromise with this movie.
