Neethaane en ponvasantham....To be or not to be...?

Didn't expect an hour at BBQ Nation would bring down sweet ol' memories...Two live singles, one from Bryan Adams and the other from "The Eagles", and I still regret missing Bryan Adams live at Bangalore!!!The guitarist didn't hit my nerve, but yeah, there was a tingle..Chords were right on the spot... Could have asked for more....I didn't... Folks alienated me when I applauded his "Hotel California". I'd say one sentence to the guitarist..."Wrong place Mate..!"


And!.. This post is about the new movie on the block, by Gautham Menon. My wife being a fan of him, and my gratitude for the eternal "Vinnai Thaandi varuvaaya", almost pushed me to watch it, and I did, even after a thumb-down by Sophia.


The movie is a cosine wave as Samantha gives it a head start. Santhanam gives it a complete phase shift.. Could have been better, if he'd stepped out. An experimental conversational flick by Gautham Menon..I'd say he has the guts to try it here...And why Gautham and Ilayaraja? The combo'd never work and I was right..except...The Maestro went viral in BGM..Last twenty minutes were awesome. Gautham tried to get the story around an egotistical pair...I am bad at story telling(business Idea...Two day training on Story telling session), my son'd vouch for it :) Get a big screen ticket and watch it, or you know what to do!!
