'spellbound' would have been my choice for the title of the movie.. cos i was in awe for two hours .. live life on your own terms.. is the spirit of the leading protagonists in the movie.. which I believe is the attitude of the director as well.. An artist, says Amitab in the movie need not please the world with his work.. if a couple of like minded people can appreciate it, u can take light about the rest of the world.. Cant stop from thinking that RGV is telling the world that.. he would produce the movies he likes to make and gives a rats ass to people who don’t like his movies..;)


at the first level,the director of a movie can captivate the audience with content that is pleasing to the senses..eyes - with good camera work, ears - with good music. The camera man and the music director chosen by Mr varma have done a wonderful job.. kerala, tea estates, hills, lakes simply wonderful.. these coupled with a wonderful score in the background makes you accept that kerala indeed is gods own land..

at the second level, the director can show his creativity and intelligence in the making of a movie that clearly sends across the intended message.. Vijay (AB) checks out his face and hair in the mirror in the bathroom after he was appreciated by the young Gia and then when he casually opens the door ..u see Revathy(the wife) sleeping on the bed.. now theres a pause for a second which conveys the thoughts, fears, reality that are storming Mr Bachan's brain.. its amazing to realise that a pause on the screen can do the trick.

or when Gia tells him that she loves him and asks him if he loves her as well.. vijay answers in the affirmative ... all through this shot theres a photograph of Revathy on the wall in the background that sends a strong reminder signal that Vijay is responding to the love of Gia inspite of his marriage and family with Amrita..

Dear Mr. Varma.. hats off to you..

At the third level, the director can make the viewer empathize with the characters of the movie there by touching the audience emotionally.. not forgetting that it is the actors who have to strike chord with the emotions of the audience.. and god.. I cant stop applauding Revathy for that..

what feelings would Amrita, a lady in the late fifties would have when she discovers that her 60 yr old husband is in love with a 18 yr girl who is a friend of her daughter .. simply put the feelings would be a combo of sadness and disgust .. one can see the movie again for the look on her face that captures these feelings.. when she tells Vijay that he isnt even worth respecting any other human being.

Dear Mrs. Revathy hats off to you too..

After Gia moves out of the house of Bachan, I wondered that it should be tough for the director to take the movie forward from here with out boring the audience.. the smart director wraps up the movie in 15 minutes.. after letting the audience realize that Gia is still in the heart of Bachan and that he is not a hypocrite, who does not live life on his own terms as blamed by Gia.

Oh.. just remembered that at the first level, in pleasing the audience’s senses the leading lady in the movie can be used..:) and showing her in a sensuous way is RGV’s forte.. isn’t it..? Gia is another great find by RGV who is a hot gorgeous dusky beauty with a pair of amazing legs..

Dear Nafisa aka Gia, my lil brother salutes you ;)
