frm orkut

just back from the movie
7 PM show, Sion Cinemax. Mumbai

Positives:

1) movie is too good. except for a couple of places u dont realise it is a dubbed version (yes, it is. maybe only aandavar used his own voice but for others voices definitely dubbing was used, but they were very natural)

2) aandavar!!!!!! kaalil thaan vizhaNum. the way he speaks like a 90+ old granny with the hindi in the UP accent was wonderful. sadly it was so wonderful that nobody even realised the hard work and the pain. just like sehwag makes hitting 300s look ridiculously simple in contrast to dravid who makes scoring 100s look very painstaking.

negatives:

1) missed the first 20 mins, hence missed the nambi portions altogether.

2) the movie was shown in a small screen with around 50 seats capacity. half the seats were empty. this was for the evening show in a pretty well known multiplex that too quite close to mathunga. i think in other places the situation can be no better.

3) most of the 20-25 people were south indians, may be KH admirers. may be only 3-5 people were proper north indians.

4) no publicity anywhere. whaterver little on the net which is available have reviewed the movie in the most ridiculous manner.

5) at the introduction scene of Shingen, the title reads "Tokyo, Japan" in tamil. there is no hindi subtitles for shingen's japanese dialogues.

Verdict:

Unless the publicity is hiked up immediately, the movie may not see the second weekend in most theaters.

Yes, the common multiplex audience will definitely love it, if proper publicity is made. The movie has everything in it in the right proportions. It is even better than the tamil version. I loved it.
