Saroja!!! Saamaan Nikaloooooooo!!!!!

Yesterday I had the chance to go to Saroja, the second VenkatPrabu flick. I have one word for the movie- "Hilariously Wonderful" *That makes it two words, you idiot!* *It does? Well, I'm not good in maths, and do shut up, you dirty mind voice of mine!*

Ahem... Where was I? Ah the movie! After my pitiable experience with Satyam , I was very cautious with Saroja. I read every piece of review I could get, and only after convincing myself that I'll not be tortured again, did I go to this movie.

I got the tickets(Rs. 50 for II Class!! )easily. A little too easily, so that I began to doubt the reviews. Praying to all the Gods, I went in, and the movie started. The first three songs of the movies were spaced a mere 15 mins apart! The songs were good though, thanks to Yuvan. The movie was hilarious, right from the entrance of Premji, till the screens go blank, after the end card. What I about the movie was the way in which comedy was inserted into even the most serious possible scene. Particularly, Premji has ruled!! There is this one scene: S.P.Charan(another excellent performer) is having a solemn word with the picture of his wife, afraid that he may never see her again and apologising for whatever he may have done. Premji puts a comforting hand on his shoulder and and after a moment asks: "Yar sir indha figure?"! The theatre erupts!

This new style of comedy, very similar to English movies, tried for the first time in Tamil cinema, makes us do what we're supposed to do-
VengatPrabu has some talent! Another interesting thing to mention is that all major artists from Chennai-28 made an appearance in Saroja.

Two of the most important ingredients of Saroja are the BGM and Camera. Yuvan has done a fantastic job with the bgm. I doubt the movie will be such a success without the bgm. The cameraman Shakthi Saravanan has also done an excellent job in making the film look rich. If you plan on seeing the movie on a dvd, make sure you do so on a HD(High Definition) DVD. I couldn't help but get amazed at what this man did with the camera.

If you are awaiting a call letter, preparing to leave TN for the job, or just lazing in the house not knowing what to do, I strongly suggest you to see this movie, but be warned, your ribs are gonna suffer a lot of tickling!

I simply Saroja! Thinking of going again. See you there

SCARY MOVIE 5

This is not a movie... but it is scary alright... Recently, i mean today, i read an article in Aval Vikatan, a tamil weekly, about campus interviews and letters from the company.

According to it, colleges which are not as powerful as anna univ or nit try to suck in students(horse) by showing them the promise of campus placement(carrot.. and a really big one at that), and in order to keep their promises they spend a huge sum of money to bring the companies to the colleges. The companies, though they take handfulls(big hands at that too) of students, prioritize them very below the top colleges. Only wen all the students of the above said (and some unsaid) colleges are recruited do they consider recruiting these lesser beings.
Even when they consider recruiting, the situation at that time plays an important role in cooperation with fate for or against the students.

I just hope we are not one of those lesser beings. Thats y i say,
" Never be happy for getting a letter from the Company unless it is the Call Letter."
