Before I start my first movie review, I should mention that the movies that interest me are the light ones, you know, comedy, romantic comedy, no logic, just for pure entertainment...those kinda ones. i really hate the heavy hitting ones, like ones where the hero/heroine dies or too much sentiment, horror movies. My idea of a good movie is the one that allows me forget all my worries in life and makes me laugh. Nothing serious and definitely not the ones that make me cry. I would rather watch a movie like 'Kundakka Mandakka'(on sunvt last sunday... was that supposed to be a comedy movie? really?) a 100 times before I watch something like 'Vettayaadu Vilayaadu'. What is the point of going and watching a movie if you are going to feel bad about it for the next 2 weeks? This is my point. Frankly speaking, I don't see why such movies are even made. What goes though a director's mind when he/she thinks about making such movies? - "let me make a movie that will make people seeing it feel scared and sad and ultimately miserable?" I really just don't get it. That's why most of these movies that others review as "No logic, No story" seem really good to me. But I also have standards. Won't watch anything and everything. Most of the time, 1/2 hr into the movie you will be able to tell whether you are going to repent for renting it or you are going to enjoy it.
Some movies are neither here nor there. Meaning, you don't have a clear answer when somebody asks you how the movie was. Billa comes under this category. I won't describe it as bad one cause it was entertaining and won't call a good one cause there was hardly any comedy in it. I have seen the old Rajinikanth Billa lots and lots of times. In addition to that I have also seen the original Amitabh Billa and the latest Sharukh Billa (which was really disappointing, considering the expectations). Inspite of seeing this story so many times, I should say that I did enjoy Ajith's Billa. Ajith was looking normal after a long time, maybe a little smarter too. Nayantara was very beautiful and sexy(started liking her even more after seeing stills of Yaradi Nee Mohini). I don't know why only her bikini scene was so hyphed up. She comes like that in every scene she appears in. Very less clothes, but tastefully done and does suit her too. Namitha is same old same old. I think this is the first movie in which her character actually required her to be in skimpy clothes and she wore them(ofcourse!). But since we have seen numerous scenes and songs of her in 'uncalled for' bare minimum clothes, this movie is just another 10 +1 for her. It is very obvious that both Nayatara and Namitha are just add-ins to the movie and the thing I like about it is, the director doesn't do antyhing to try to prove otherwise. Also keep in mind that I saw the movie in my 32" Tv at home. Would have looked a lot different for people who saw this movie in theatre! Good transition from the diary writing days to pen drive days. Very good costumes. Not-so-bad music. I have heard it only once. Has the potential to be added to my fav's list if I hear it more. All in all, a good decent movie, which in comparing to the other movies that have come out recently, is a big deal!
