Pongal Off

Celebrated Pongal with a new paavadai chattai for Anush and a movie. Anush was very excited to shout out Pongal O Pongal,helped fill in the colour in the small rangoli outside our home, was enchanted by the rangoli in the building entrance and enjoyed both Villu and the folk artists at Mayajaal . She was most happy with the crepe and ice cream at Lydies.



Villu- a Tamil Pongal relase. Old flame's sake- I adore Prabhu Deva who is the director. First half was good and the second half was a drag. Vadivelu's humour is annoying and Nayantara is obnoxious in reality and in her role as a nut- bimbo. This is the FIRST Vijay movie I am watching and must say that he is a wonderful dancer.

Watched a movie a night, Milk and Billy Elliot - both about breaking stereotypes- one on gays and one on boys doing ballet. Very good acting , though both were a bit disturbing and violent.

  10. sounds lik eyou had a great time.

    btw what is mayajaal?

    ReplyDelete
  11. it is a multiplex

    nothing great but since it is far from the city - it is closer for us and more likelihood to get movie tickets since we rarely do advance booking

  12. I take back my comment now after watching Villu.
    I dint like the movie at all and felt there were too many songs and couldnt stand Nayanthara !
    Was hoping it would be like Ghilli,Pokkiri types but proved me completey wrong.
