Paa Appa Father Dad Pitha Paa Paa......

On Friday last week I convinced poorni to buy the audio tracks of paa.. on the way home we listened to the tracks. As always we could enjoy and appreciate the brilliance of Illayaraja. Anyways, on Saturday 5th being our wedding day. I had a very ambitious plan... morning let us visit the doctor, afternoon lunch at a Italian restaurant, evening let us watch PAA this sounded like a plan Friday night and wanted to release it to poorni on Saturday morning first thing with a hope of surprising her. As always, the Boss at home has the final say. All the plans were changed :(. poorni was sick and we decided not to watch the movie and let the weekend go. So, visited doctor, made vathal kozhmbu, eriseari and enjoyed them. Monday Dec 8th as always had a stressful day at work mondays adds to more pressure, reached home and there is poorni with a question.. "Hey can we go to paa. I watched few clips on the web it looks like a movie that you will like (selling the movie to me now...). Then I thought when the baby arrives we are not going to be presented with these kind of opportunities and said "Yes let us go.. but let me make you some pasta for dinner". Finished our dinner and off we go to the theatre... got popcorn, few baked items from coles.. strepsils to ease of poorni's cold.. and as we enter the cinema.. the movie has just began.. i now have no words to describe the movie... Actually, on the weekend we had watched CHENI KUM we seem to enjoy the movie every time that we watch it. I think we might have watched the movie for about over 10 times now. Back to paa now. The movie is one of the best that we have seen after Mozhi. Balki,Bachan and PCSriram make a team complemented by Illayaraja's background score. The scenes in the school where AURO'S (Bachan's name) friends talk to him and share their experiences are fantastic... they will remind most of you of your school days (It certainly did mine). The 2.20 mins that we spent in the theatre was all worth it. I cannot remember in my recent past of me not having thought about work for at least 2 hrs continuously. Thanks to the movie and all in the movie. Further, on the way home we listened to the tracks and now we felt very different to hear them all of them were more meaningful. We had a great time and cannot wait for the DVD to hit the shelves. Highly recommended

Soon to be Paa,
