@Rangan sir

The more I read your reviews, sir… The more I feel envious and awe-struck at the same time for How entertainingly can You give such wonderful insights into a film, without making it seem decisive or an objective truth.

Its so unfortunate that I woke up to your site and reviews only a few days ago…. But at the same time, I couldnt be more thankful to the one up there for finally bringing me here…

I’ve read all ur reviews… and i just feel like going back to them again & again…. And will surely do, to comment….. anticipating ur reply…. (I cant believe I may just as well, by god’s grace, get a reply from THE BARADWAJ RANGAN himself… wow! )

Your ardent fan
Harsh

Lol – Lear and Ghai – but really – that wouldn’t have worked here because the father was dead – not sure if encountering the wrath of a father’s lawyer would have the same effect. But filial dynamics has always been a fount for insight into human nature so this was a real wasted opportunity to be sure.
Totally agree with your observation about any of the interesting aspects of the plot and characters not being explored to their logical potential, which left the movie and the actors kind of high and dry.

And Ghai’s much vaunted musical ability was lacking here as well – again totally agree about the appalling lack of “dementedness!” It seems like he was trying to be poetical – but it’s like Busby Berkeley trying to do an overblown Vincent Minnelli number. The tap shoes just don’t fit.

The theatre where I saw this movie was surprisingly well attended. People even applauded at the end –maybe because the move was finally over? I suspect they were applauding the sentiments expressed by the lawyer, about brothers coming together and wasn’t that wonderful for the dad – which made absolutely no sense in the context of the movie since it wasn’t like the father was that laudable a character to begin with having abandoned his younger sons and shunting the older son to the side.

masoomrooney: Nope. Haven’t heard the album yet. But the reports from those I know haven’t been very flattering.

br just discovered the director for Poo is Sasi – who would be the same guy who made Sollamale and Roja Koottam. There! And Srikanth. You know what to expect.

Guys i had a real good time watching Yuvvraaj. Anil was superb as usual, Salman as usual lived up to the expectations, Katrina Kaif playing the cello looks awesome n not to forget the beautiful foreign locales and the grand sets

BR, whoever. Srikanth film. That condemns it for sure. I mean, how good can a Srikanth film be?

Pradyumna M: Not liklely. I’m here for another week, and have my hands full with just watching films

Anand: Poo? This is that Srikanth film, right? Has this got a good buzz going? I mean, is the director an assistant of Bala or Ameer or something?
