Non-local movie screened@Prarthana OAT

Finally, the Prarthana drive-in OAT has decided to screen a non-local dialect movie. And what a way 2 begin, Lage Raho Munnabhai, the biggest blockbuster of 2006. Not sure what lightning struck them did they decide to screen a Hindi movie, was it finance problems or did they stumble upon my previous blog on this OAT?

Whatever it maybe, I'm pleased 2 hear this news & pray this is not a one-off case scenario, although I'm pretty sure this could be a trial run to figure out the returns and other financial gains if they intend to screen English/Hindi blockbusters on the same day as the multiplexes.

lage raho Prarthana.......cheers!
Update: as xpected, the movie ran only for a week and I managed to see it in nic of time yestday. From today (18/10/06), Thimiru being screened.

Hi,

Thanks for dropping by my blog.

I did drop into Prarthana yesterday to watch "Vallavan". Just hated the movie and the theatre too.

Nothing great about the theatre I thought. The mosquitoes and the crowd were all suckers!

And there is not a good snacks counter! That one also sucks!

CARS - Kachow! Kachow! K-k-k-chow

Having seen most of their big hits like Toy S tory Part1&2, The Incredibles , Finding Nemo , Monsters Inc. , A Bug's life ; I was desperate to check Pixar's latest offering Cars . Trust me friends, you'll love this one for sure. The concept of cars being compared to humans with the basic similarities: 2 eyes ( headlights ), 2 hands ( front tyres ), 2 legs ( rear tyres ), a big fat mouth, etc. has been used in many animation videos. This one is altered a little bit with the eyes placed in the car's windscreen and headlights as nostrils...the big fat mouth stays where it is. Though the movie stretches to almost 2 hours, the scriptwriters have blended it well with a storyline that frequently throws a social message to the real-humans. You'll figure it out yourself. Not many know this movie honours the Pixar animator Glenn McQueen who died in 2002, and not much refs to Steve McQueen . The story is about a how an aggressive rookie sens...

One, Two, Three_, Comedy Riot!

Being jobless is sometimez a good break in life provided you have a good cable connection ( like the 3-month old DishTV @ my place ) and tons of movies, music and sports to watch throughout the day, in short an excellent chance to be an honest couch-potato. A few days back, I stumbled upon this movie on ZeeMGM called One, Two, Three . Being a Monday morning, I initially thought this movie would put me 2 sleep again, and switched to HBO which was showing " The Matrix ". On 2nd thoughts, I told myself enough of the red & blue pills and rabbit holes (no disrespect to Matrix fans) , letz chekout One, Two, Three . Thoughts proved lucky for once, this is easily one of the most hilarious comedies I've ever seen, no doubt it was nominated for four awards in 1962, including the Laurel Awards " Top Comedy ", thanks to James_Cagney 300kmph dialogue delivery, so smooth and crystal clear that even a Britisher could understand. Note : Voice accent trainers and trainees i...

Bapooji 2 Gandhigiri...wat next?

Image
The LageRaho Munnabhai success has suddenly transformed the Father of the Nation to a new modern war hero, and has put him ahead in the league of elites like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and other non-violent heroes of the world. The popular Bapooji has been pushed to the backseat and given way for a cool-funky Gen-x name - Gandhigiri . Wats more, he is being hailed as the Comeback Man of the Millenium...OMG!! Across the media, this name is being popularised, and Gandhiji is merchandised 10 times better than Che Guevara ( now, thats wat I call stiff competition ) his photo being printed on mugs, T-shirts, bags and even on a mouse-pad ( sounds a bit lame ), but would u believe it? Gandhigiri is all across the net, on wikipedia Orkut community Mahatma Gandhi store Cafepress.org and what not...the list is huge!! I'm pretty sure there would be quiz contests all across the nation on the 2nd Oct only on Gandhiji and his principles, teachings, etc, no wonder the sale of boo...
