MYNAA Movie Review

Prabhu Solomon might have not delivered blockbusters, but he holds special mention for his style of handling clichéd script in a different way.  ‘Kokki’ was one such instance with an usual story of an innocuous man taking on baddies followed by ‘Lee’, which revolved around corruption in sports and ‘Laadam’, a different script that didn’t do well for its low-profiled star casts.

Even this time, he hasn’t attempted for an unique story. It’s a well-worn story of childhood love set in village backdrops bounded to opposition from family, society and hurdles faced by the couple, finally with a shockingly repellent climax.  So how different is ‘Mynaa’ from those yesteryear village based love stories?
Let’s take a sneak glimpse into the synopsis followed by a distinct analysis.

Set in backdrops of a hilly village near Theni, the film revolves Suruli (Viddarth) and Myna (Anaka), intimate lovers from their childhood days. He helps her family in the desolated situation and even her mother affectionately addresses him ‘son-in-law’. But as the years pass by, mother decides to get daughter Myna married to another person that deeply turns Suruli more aversive. He is even jailed for his cruel gesture upon her mother and manages to escape on the same night. Sooner, the jail superintendent (Sethu) and police constable (Thambi Ramaiah) are on the pursuit of Suruli, who has escaped. Soon after handcuffing him, Mynaa too travels along with Suruli as they decide to get married after his prison term of 15 days. What unfolds next is a drama of journey with unexpected twists and turns.

The Diwali Week

As a good start of November, I am here to give you some good info about Diwali. Diwali is celebrated for five days and the day wise importance is as follows:

The first day of Diwali is called Dhanvantari Triodasi or Dhan Theras. The second day of Diwali is called Narak Chaturdasi. It is the fourteenth lunar day (thithi) of the dark forthnight of the month of Kartik and the eve of Diwali. On this day Lord Krishna destroyed the demon Narakasur and made the world free from fear. The third day of Diwali is the actual Diwali. This is the day when worship for Mother Lakshmi is performed. On the fourth day of Diwali, Goverdhan Pooja is performed. The fifth day of the diwali is called Bhratri Dooj. It is a day dedicated to sisters.

Diwali ~ The festival of Lights

Diwali is popularly known as the festival of lights. It is an important five-day festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For most of the hindus/Indians and working class, this is the biggest festival and the day when they want to be with their families and perform the prayers together in their homes. Deepavali is an official holiday in India.

The name Diwali is itself a contraction of the word Deepavali which translates into row of lamps (in Sanskrit). Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends. Some Indian business communities begin the financial year on the first day of Diwali, hoping for prosperity the following year.

In Hinduism, Deepavali marks the return of Lord Rama to his kingdom of Ayodhya after defeating (the demon king) Ravana, the ruler of Lanka, in the epic Ramayana. In Jainism, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha by Mahavira in 527 BC. In Sikhism, Deepavali commemorates the return of Guru Har Gobind Ji to Amritsar after freeing 52 Hindu kings imprisoned in Fort Gwalior by Emperor Jahangir; the people lit candles and diyas to celebrate his return. This is the reason Sikhs also refer to Deepavali as Bandi Chhorh Divas, "the day of release of detainees". Deepavali is considered a national festival in India and Nepal.

ENDHIRAN ~ THE ROBO

The most awaited Tamil film of the decade "Endhiran, the Robo" has released with Rajini thala's resounding punch line "Happy Diwali folks".

An Out N Out SHANKAR'S movie!

Director Shankar comes with an Ento-sci-fi-thriller (Entertaining science fiction) ride and that’s "Endhiran" for you under the Sun Pictures banner produced by Kalanidhi Maran. His trump card is Superstar Rajnikanth along with five assets being World's beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the heroine, AR Rahman for his expertise, Rathnavelu for cinematography, Variramuthu lyrics and one whole Ace for his team that developed the special effects. The director, called captain of the movie is really a gifted person and has hard work, he can still bring to us his 10 years dream project which is about few years advance from now itself.

Superstar (A.K.A) Chitti 2.0 has given his best. Am sure that Rajnikanth is the man who will never cease to amaze you! Your age doesn’t really matter because you will be in awe of the man! In a movie which shows signs of visual effects riding in the driver’s seat, the Superstar dominates every bit to walk away with appreciation! No favoritism here, you just can’t stop talking about him, once you come out. As a scientist, he plays his part uncharacteristically Rajni without Punch dialogues or fights but as ‘Chitti – the Robot’ you are bound to follow him or even turn an addict. Also, the graphic sequences have mesmerized the viewers. The special effects in the film are so life like that one fan challenged to run a contest to identify the graphics sequences with a million dollar prize money. ARR’s songs which are already a rage sit well on the film, adding to the entertainment quotient. Chiti chiti Robo..

Aish is amazing and truly an epitome of beauty. She forms an important part in the script and hence you will spot her throughout the movie, perhaps for the first time a heroine is receiving considerable importance in the superstar’s movie. The marvelous costumes add to her allure and she’s just majestic in few scenes. She has done a good role throughout. Overall, the Endhiran movie is open to everyone. Please watch chitti as a robot and not as a human or a 60yrs old Rajini. I dont't support the 2nd half of the movie. It was out and out mokkai for the first hour after the interval. Though Santhanam and Karunas have done a small role, the comedy sequences are good.

Vasi, Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh.................!!!!
