Masala Popcorns prohibited!!

We watched the latest Tamil movie Kandasamy last Sunday.. One more to the list of same old movies in the Action series.. Gentleman, Indian, Anniyan, Shivaji.. now it is Kandasamy.. Kandy, as Shreya calls Vikram in this movie, luks strikingly handsome as usual, but this time, he is a big man in the movie, a CBI Officer and as usual he has another face, hold ur breath, he is GOD.. Well he does good to the poor in the disguise of Lord Kandasamy (Appane Muruga.. mudiyala!!).. Aanaa somma sollakudaadhu.. aapicer sir soper-a Tata Safari ottaraaru ba!! And since i don't like Shreya much, i have no comments to share. CBI raids villain's bungalow and our superhero discovers where he has hidden all his black money.. Grrrr.. Now u know the rest of the story right!! But let me complete.. Shreya (by now u know shez the villain's daughter) tries to conquer the superhero officer with her false love emoticons, as she promises her dad she would capture and bring the ruthless officer under her dad's custody. Then there is all the drama and masala required for a Tamil movie to hit the Box Office as No#1. I think we should call this movie..

Anniyan - Part 2 (Anniyan tranforms himself to GOD!!)

In short Kandasamy may be a roller coaster ride for people who are ready to watch one more Masala movie with the hero chasing villain's Black money and heroine chasing the hero just to end up falling in love with him. But for my hubby Kandasamy was Nondhasamy!! And for me.. Kandasamy oru Kelvikkuri (?) How long are we going to watch these stereotype ones now??? We need some variety with the scripts and the screenplays. I liked Achamundu Achamundu better than this although vividly it was too simple and shortly narrated with a weak story line. When the hero Prasanna kills the villain and the movie was over, we were like.. "Ok the trailer is over.. show us the movie now!" 

In fact i'm waiting to watch Quick Gun Murugun in which Rajendra Prasad is an Unlikely Superhero, a South Indian cowboy who feels his duty is to protect the world against arch villain restaurant owner, Rice Plate Reddy, who wants to create the ultimate non-veg dosa! Sounds like a freaking whole new approach to tell the silliest possible story with more colors and entertainment, mocking different film personalities, but it is definitely making us stop doing our work and ask "Sorry, what's the story again??" Its gonna be a treat specially for the south Indians. Directors better start telling us such stories, be it any genre, where we wouldn't have an idea what's gonna happen in the next scene!!
