7am Arivu!!!!!

Saw 7am arivu ! 

These are the thoughts that flow in me when i think about the movie! 

Many people advised me not to see the movie, suththa bore, vendaamnu sonnaanga! still something in me made me see it! And I was right. I liked it, with the flaws! May be its not suited for all types of people. Of course, each has a different expectation while going to watch any movie. 

Now let me share my views ... 

The first glaring flaw was that of the songs which were inserted for commercial purpose. Totally unnecessary yamma yamma kaadhal ponnamma and munn andhi charal nee songs.. nice when heard separately, though!

Shruthihaasan suriya-oda relatives paaththu yen oliyanum? Theriyaadhunu sollanum? What's the point? Shruthihaasan directa suriya kitta poi solli puriya vechirundha padam blanda poirundhurukkumo? Dunno! But I see these as loopholes. 

Yaana mela ambari type of scenes could have been edited chuk chuk without question. 

Generally any art field u consider, the concept of guru bakthi will be instilled strong within the disciples. I've seen such in dance, martial arts, music etc. I have seen disciples  having a strong devotion towards their Master. Being the disciple of shaolin martial arts school, Dong Lee takes up a project named 'project Red' against the Guru, Bodhidharmar. (Bodhidharmar is the founder of the Shao Lin school of martial arts.) Idhu romba manasa nerududhu!

hypnotism indha alavukku stronga panra person? namba mudiyavillai. (But I was told that this IS possible.) Particularly that auto scene! Too much of hypnotism done there! Could have reduced the length of that scene.

Gajinila nayanthara! Idhula Shruthihaasan.. Hero kooda duet paada mattum oru heroine nu illaamaponadhu oru aarudhal. 
Tamil Tamil nu pesinaalum English accent thookala irukkaradhu minus! Dubbing voice try pannirkkalaam! She should focus more on being a music Director or playback singer I guess! 

Bodhidharma yaaru nu kekkumbodhu invariable a ella south indiansm theriyaadhunu solradhu vedhanai kodukkum unmai. 

For those who feel that the First few minutes went like a documentary... Had the Director tried to put it in dialogues the number of scenes would have increased. Moreover, this happens in China. So no other go. I enjoyed it though!

The beautiful locales, Tibet Potala Palace, helicopter shots, the rivers, dogs, happy reunion of the Chinese girl child with bubbling smile and her mom.. Silirthidichu! 

This Surya can act! My God! The way he gives his parting glance to his wife as he leaves for China! No chance. His hard work to learn the circus tricks goes a waste. But one thing I should say, andha sila nimida kaatchigalukkaaga Surya rombave menakertirukkaar. Kudos Surya!

Biowar nu China sonna enna aagum? How much are we prepared? Koodankulam nuclear plant sariya thappa nu naama pesitu irukkumbodhu saththampodaama matha naadugal sciencela munnerittu irukkaradha pakkumbodhu bayama irukku! 

Anbirkkum undo adaikkumthaal nu AR Rahman thirukkural sonnappo, Ella thirukkiralayum ippadi pattu vadivama ARR sonna pasangalukku nalla reach aagumnu pesinom. Adhey conceptpadi paaththa, Ippo Bodhidharmar yaarnu namakku sonnadhukku AR Murugadossku nandri sollanum. 

How much research work would have gone in before writing the script, how much hard work, efforts in making the movie! Hats off Murugadoss!

Am not telling that this is picture-perfect! Many commercial elements are there in the movie. But Vaai pulichadho, maanga pulichadho nu, time waste, bore padam nu off-handed comments FB la podardhu, pesaradhu fashion aayiduchu!

Velaayudham paathuttu naama thirupachi, sura, aadhi, sivakasi indha padamlaam paaththa feel varudhennu yosikkarom. But Yezhaam Arivu paathuttu theatre vittu Varumbodhu oru different feel enakkulla vandhadhu nichayam! Hahaha... Not wondering about the talents in my DNA! But about Bodhidharma, the Tamil monk about whom I never knew till date, about the richness of our homeland! But how ignorant we are about most of these! 

Waiting for such type of movies which will throw light on our hidden prides! 

Yezhaam Arivu- Good, in spite of its flaws! Don't miss it!
