After a string of positive comments and commendations, I decided to experience the movie firsthand. Sadly, I did not have much of a company (bar a few guys I went with, who were content at hooting at item numbers). And having the hangover from yday's unexpected nightout, I forced myself to go in with a coke (sorry J, cudnt help it). But the film impressed me. It took up a different concept to the oft repeated concept of love and marriage and divorce and reunion and violence and more recently, more primitive ways of "love". And something which is quite valid, though cinematic exaggeration will always be there to bring the impact. I aint gonna divulge the story, but I am sure that you will be mightily impressed by the performances. The "girl next door" look of the heroine and the "pathetic looking guy" look of the hero blends in to make the film more realistic and uncharacteristicly impressive. The villian also played his part with the mallu accent and no-overdo. Definitely the villians are acting much better than the heroes nowadays! I would rate him second to "Pandyaaaaaaaaaaaaa" in recent times. Apart from this, the characters have been very consistent throughout the film. Impressive this - the villian stays a villian, the scientist stays a scientist, the wife stays a wife, the flirting prof (naeeeeeech) stays the flirting prof, vivek stays vivek. Except for the forced-in item number (the girl was gumm too) which dint make much sense, and the picturisation of the songs (damn, i had high hopes for my 'chinna chinna sigarangal' - which was also true btw ;) ) the film was definitely top quality. And one nice message they brought out was that emotions are not a potent weapon, and probably a sword turned against you instead. The songs did not stick, but the story does tick and you come out with the feeling "not bad spending the sat afternoon on this"

Just like there is a fine line between glamour and vulgarity, there is a fine line between keeping or deleting a comment by the admin! Well, I would juz take it as a dumb joke but with kids readin this..choose ur words more appropriately Anonymous!
