Found out what’s making me unhappy. Beneath stacked layers of not-doing-enough-in-life the “what” happened to be “not laughing hard enough!” No, not the kind of rehearsed stuff like at Laughter Clubs alongside similar-sounding stifled air from the stomach.
To be around similar-minded people is among the happier things. I felt like a young kid on a big lawn, fresh on the grass. I kept jumping higher and still higher and it kept making me feel so good.
Back to the Theatre
Bhramaram (2009)
“Ini ee vandi nirthaane povunnilla!”
Went to see Bhramaram at the Soorya Fest (it was the inaugural film) with Soda*, Dee* and Ra*. SMSd everyone with words shamelessly salvaged from a JR*-original (The ones he send out thinking that they would scare the crap out of “friends” who’re on a “secret mission” to steal his ID and “misuse” it). That, he needs medical help is a closely contested fact. Let’s leave that to Infoscions in Mysore, to where he’s packing his bags to soon.
About Bhramaram: it’s too much Mohanlal; yes, you can’t argue about his acting prowess. Something still felt amiss at places (To me Blessy’s best was Thanmatra). So, what could’ve been a great movie stays back behind at the fence where it’s “just good” or “okay”. If I could blame it on the bad projector (and bad speaker-facility) at the Tagore theatre, I didn’t get the point where people raved about the cinematography.
Delhi-6 (2009)
“Zarre zarre mein usi ka noor hai
Jhaank khud mein wo na tujhse door hai
Ishq hai usse to sabse ishq kar
Ishq hai usse to sabse ishq kar
Is ibaadat ka yahi dastoor hai
Is mein us mein aur us mein hai wohi
Is mein us mein aur us mein hai wohi
Yaar mera har taraf bharpoor hai”
Saw Delhi-6 again (with Soda*); this time at the Theatre. I liked it again. I guess, Mehra’s movie was way over the head for some people who wrote the reviews and for the commoner, it was unlike his diet of masala. But incidentally, the “intelligent” crowd at the Tagore Theatre seemed to take a liking! There were occasional applause, that too from an audience of mostly over-40ers. Spotted Mrs. Lily Tharoor, mother of MP from Trivandrum, Shashi Tharoor on our way out.
*: Classmates

Yes! Delhi-6 is so underrated. More people need to grow up from masala flicks.
Bhramaram is better than some of the really crappy ones churned out right now.
