a classic and a classic in making :)

I don't know what's wrong with Chandramukhi songs. I liked all of them at the first run itself :)
I had very high expectations too, but I also visualized Rajini in his usual attire and style while listening to the songs....that made a huge difference :)

speaking of Rajini, I watched Aarilirundhu Arubathu Varai last saturday. I wanted to watch a really sad and depressing movie (just for a change) and opted for this one. I've watched AAV a few yrs back, but still wanted to go for it........no disappointment, it kept me occupied for a good 3 hrs.

there are only a handful of movies in which all the actors would have done a splendid job. this is one among them. particulary Rajini, its one of his best and I doubt if anyone else could have given a similar performance (not even Kamal). be it the anger when he finds that his siblings aren't recognizing his hard work, or the frustration when he isn't able to muster all the resources to meet his ends, or the joy and relief when his brother informs him about his placement, or the emotional breakdown when he realizes that nothing is really working for him ---- this is one hell of a performance form our superstar. he has taken acting to new highs in this movie, and thats an understatement!

also the movie has 2 deep messages --
a. carry on with one's responsibilities without bowing down to any kind of pressure, and
b. treat both imposters, success and failure just the same

it takes a long time to acquire these qualities, so till then watch aarilirundhu arubathu varai :)
