"the (y)earth i(ee)s my b(a)ed, the (ee)sky i(ee)s my c(ee)eiling and the(e) e(y)ntire creation is my(ii) native place, m(A)ind it!!"
My first experiment with hyperbolic world of southward cinema or well a shadow of it..
Shashank Ghosh who first created this character in eighties on Channel V (and also stuff like 'waisa bhi hota hai part 2- which did not have any part 1) has directed this movie.
So one rainy day i was buying the tickets to watch this piece (just building the context) at the posh Priya Cinemas of posh Vasant Vihar ( one of the friends who also happens to be a resident there says people expect the residents to throw up a Rs. 10 note every time they even spit out!)
So after this useless info on vasant vihar..coming back to the movie ... i can do something i m best at ...i have a question to ask..
what is about such stuff that gets the 'cult' status while any other attempt like this mind you by a lesser known director, with a lesser known cast, with non followed type of support but mind you not less talented...i can bet forget the cult status, it would be called all names - cheesy, hopeless, worthless, and blah blah...Mind it! (and while we are at it Mind you also!)
so is there some snootiness ...some upscale-ness, some haughtiness (and mind you nothing to do with Vasant Vihar) in appreciating such stuff...or is it sheer brilliance that escapes the intelligentsia of lesser mortals like urs truly...
but ya...for some light hearted moments...for some exaggerated humor...some good time while your car is getting serviced...it's a good tp..
my favourite pick - Anu Menon better known as Lolla Kutty as the locket girl!
