After a long time, I was back home by 7:30 itself in the evening, thanks to an early Sanjay’s concert today. Doing channel-surfing, I saw ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ was the movie coming on Set Max. Among Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kucch Kucch Hota Hai & Dil To Pagal Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai (and the songs of the movie too) used to be my favourite for a long time till one fine day when I got bored of it after seeing it telecast on TV so often.

Seeing it today after a long time, I thought I would watch it for a few minutes and change the channel. But I couldn’t stop watching it at all! :O The whistling of are re are ye kya hua, the BGM, the songs (I just love Dil To Pagal Hai, Are Re Are and Koi Ladki Hai), Udit Narayan at his best, the chemistry between Shahrukh and Madhuri, Madhuri and Karishma’s dance for ‘The Dance of Envy’ track, Madhuri’s salwar kameezs and the colours of some of her costumes and lots more! Watching this movie now has taken my memory back to my school days when this movie used to be a part of so much of chats with friends. 🙂

I still can’t believe that it has been a couple of hours since I switched on the computer to write about Sanjay’s concerts and instead have ended up writing this post now! :O Oops break has got over. Have to get back to watching the movie. 😉 Cya!

Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali! 🙂

Till a couple of days back, it was said in the trailer & ads that there was going to be an interview with Madhavan on Kalaignar TV at 8 am today. With Sanjay’s concert on radio at 8:30 am, I was glad that I would be able to catch up with both the programmes. But when I was channel-surfing during the break in Jab We Met, which by the way, was telecast on Zee yesterday evening, I was surprised to see an interview with Madhavan on Kalaignar TV! I had no idea at all that they had changed the time. I watched only the last 10 minutes of the interview. 🙁 Seeing an interview with Madhavan at 8:15 am on Jaya TV today, I guess that must have been the reason why the time of the interview on Kalaignar TV must have been changed. God knows which channel first decided to air Madhavan’s interview at 8 am today!

Coming to today’s interview, I must tell you that it was a big bore. How many times will the ask him the same old questions like the difference between working in TV programmes & movies, how did the experience of working on TV programmes help him when he started working in films, how does his wife react to him having a huge female fan following, what kind of a student was he during college, etc.! One might as well and go & read/watch some old interview of his to know the answers to all these questions. 😐 The only new info that I came to know from today’s interview is his first day shooting experience of Snehidhane song.

Even the last few minutes of yesterday’s interview had nothing new. He was asked to share his experience of working with Kamal. Madhavan himself said that he is being asked this question in all the interviews during the last few years and went on talk about Kamal & the movie.

It’s high time the channels come up with new questions when interviewing someone!

I wanted to watch Poi Solla Porom. When I came to know that it was a remake of Khosla Ka Ghosla, I wanted to watch it first and watched it last week. I found it to be just a good time pass movie. All the actors have given an excellent performance and that I would say, is the biggest plus of the movie. The plot that Parvin Dabas and others come up with to fool Boman Irani and their executing it so easily without any hassles, seemed so unbelievable. It would have been better if there had been some twists. After watching this, I am not sure if I will watch Poi Solla Porom.

If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be? – the first thing that came to my mind on reading that question in the tag were the scenes from Jab We Met, a movie that I like so much that I try to watch it every time it comes on TV. Expressing one’s anger and letting out one’s feelings on betrayal by their lover – The way Kareena makes Shahid tear his ex-girlfriend’s photo and flush it out and the way Shahid later makes Kareena call her ex-boyfriend and scold him with all the bad words! Superb scenes! Those scenes are my favourites. Remembering those scenes was what made me change my answer from ‘Anger, tears, sorrow (in that order) and eventually moving on with life’ to what it is now, since expressing my anger is what I would want to do first. Do you like those scenes too?

To say that this movie was heights of kodumai would be an understatement! That was the opinion amongst all of us who watched this movie.

The only things that I liked in the entire movie were the lush green fields of the village and the locations of the song that came post-interval (Yaaro?) – the green mountains and then the temple (seemed like some Karnataka temple) and its tank. I absolutely loved the beautiful combination that the green mountains and the not-so-clear blue skies with some very nice shades of blue made! The blue water from which Ravi emerges unconscious looked nice too. Now that I have raved enough about nature’s beauty, let me move on to other things in the movie.

Watched it yesterday. Didn’t expect it to be my kind of movie and that was exactly how it was. kaNgaL iraNDaal/Reetigowlai as BGM for some of the scenes was nice. 🙂

Wishing Madhavan a very happy birthday! 🙂
