Quick gun Murugan?

so yesterday night i finally went for the movie detailing the misadventuring of an indian cowboy!

i was looking forward to the movie for quite some time, but sadly, it didnt live up to my expextations.

the main character, an outrageously dressed gun toting, vegetarian cowboy is an excellent concept. for that matter, all the characters are fantastic.

the villian, rice plate reddy, is the typical south indian villian of the 80s, and the mannerisms like the laugh, the greed, etc are very on the spot.

apart from that, theres gunpowder who loves non-veg, is the villian's no 1 guy, and hes forcing all the udipi hotels to sell non veg dosas! sadly he gets killed by the hero within the first 10 minutes of the movie.

then theres locket lover, anu menon, our very own lola kutty. shes brilliant, but shes not around too much.sad.

then theres mango dolly, the bar dancer and rice plate reddy's "keep" who has a heart of gold. predictably, she falls in love with quick gun and dies at the end in his arms.

rowdy mba does his part perfectly.

point is, the characters are par brilliance, the acting is great, but somehow, something is "missing"?
it just doesnt mesh well. maybe it needs mothers love? hehe.

apart from that, the other important is that to most south indians who watch tamil channels, this stuff if there everyday.that exactly was my father's point. throughout the movie, he kept wondering why people would pay to see something that was on sun tv and ktv everyday?

so the movie does have a few ribtickling moments. and there were people in the theater howling with laughter. i just dunno why.

anyway, my advice is this- if you're a south indian, dont go to the movies. rent it or watch it when it comes on tv. if you're from some other part of india then go see it but dont expect too much.

thatsit for this blog. the next one will most prolly be a detailed discussion on toilets! yep you heard it right!
