Bommarillu (2006)
It's Love. It's Magic
A few months ago my cousin elder brother who is 10 years older suggested me to watch a telugu film with a weird name, 'Bomarillu'.
The suggestion was heard and then forgotten. But one random day I came across Genelia Deshmukh's instagram video and suddenly the name flashed in my mind so I googled it. On discovering that it has 8.2 imdb rating, I instantly grew a strong desire to watch this film.
I downloaded this cinema and from here on now I'll just pour in my emotions of how much I have loved this film
This is simply a beautiful, magical film. To describe it in words would be to devoid it of its' magic.
The cast is cute and both the lead just grows on you to the point that you fall in love with them. Genelia, a typical bollywood watcher would agree, had her moments with films like 'Jane Tu Ya Jane Na' and 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gya'. Any guy would be drawn to her by her cuteness and she has a very fresh and happy personality that never fails to steal your heart.
But oh god! Bomarillu would make you fall for her head over heels. Her character Hasini is an angelic beauty.
And there are these brilliant moments in the film. The way the first time Siddu & Hasini meets. You are taken into a magical world with the background music and the originality of that scene is purely divine. It will forever remain with you.
Then when Siddu goes to her college to introduce himself and she reverts:
Anthena??
Inkem Kavali??
Veelaithe nalugu maatalu
Kudirithe cup coffee
I have enquired some telugu friends, and in their words, this particular scene was the go-to romantic opening line for an entire generation.
And now the scene which I have binge-watched a thousand times.
Bus stops...Hasini comes out, walks towards Siddu
She cutely delivers her mixed feelings and without clarifying returns to her bus
And then all the girls shout "Senior Sir.... Hasini Loves You"
My heart skipped a beat with the music and the whole set-up.
Oh I wish I was a 25 year youth in 2006 in Andhra and could have watched this film then..
The songs, (and I don't know telugu), are a treat to the ears. I have learned Apudo Ipudo and wish someday I can sing this for someone.
But one thing that this movie is not, is simply a love story, NO.
This movie is a journey of a typical BOY.
This movie shows when does a BOY become a MAN. The tussle between an over-protective father and a two-faced son is a real conflict that most of the boys can relate to.
Thank You to the whole team of Bomarillu for creating such a marvel.
15 years I've gone without realizing such a brilliant film has existed. But I'm glad I'm in the right age to watch this film.
It's shows Love is Magic. It heals everything.
Hasani character can make anyone fall in love. She is blessed and innocent.
Raanjhanaa (2013)
A Complete Movie
This movie is a gem. Romantic movies have become cliched with boy meets girl story. But rarely do we come across a love story that is different and rooted in realism.
Ranjhana has everything to offer. Well defined characters, memorable dialogues, great acting and a really intriguing and meaningful plot.
Rajma Chawal (2018)
A Decent Watcg
Characters are well-defined. A twist to the usual story of a boy who doesn't like his middle-class upbringing and fails to appreciate those he is surrounded by. Don't go with huge expectation and you will enjoy yourself. It is not a cheap entertainment, a good investment for our time.
The beauty of a good cinema is the journey and evolution of characters throughout the film, in this film I liked the character arc of not only the protagonist but also of the actress' character. She is good, ofcourse beautiful.
Love Letter (1995)
A Sweet Story that leaves you wanting for more
Go ahead, watch this movie. To know what was world like before cell phones took over. These kind of films appeal to a certain niche of audience. That type of audience is growing thin. There is nothing loud about this film. Everything in this film from story, setup, music, dialogues, screenplay is one dimensional. Don't mistake me, movie is really good. It's another of those stories that are trademark of japanese sweet romantic dramas. It doesn't give you any philosophy or doesn't carry any underlying meaning. It is just pure emotions.
Both girls are clueless about the mysterious guy they knew. I mean one of them was even married to him, and the other girl went three years to school with him and yet none knew who he was, what drove that person, why he was so silent, why he could never say what was on his mind and even the audience will not learn anything about the guy even after the completion of movie.
Such writing, where there nothing in particular happens yet so much happens. Basically this whole movie is one type of emotion......longing.
Blood of Zeus (2020)
Just a money grab, no content
This one is simply garbage. It has weak characterization, a story that is so predictable and doesn't justify the development of characters. It has no feel to it. You don't feel sad when any character dies, you just don't feel for the characters. Every thing just happens without building up to it. The whole anime is like a trailer version of some elaborate game/movie. What a waste of time. And anyone who compares it to Castlevania, how could you? Castlevania justifies each character, their motivations. It has better action scenes, this one barely has one decent action scene.
