GOA - ilamai kondattam

Last Sunday, me and my friends went to watch the new release tamizh movie "GOA". My fav songs from the movie are : GOA theme music, Idhu varai (by Andrea and Ajeesh), Valiba Vaa Vaa (Illayaraja, SPB & Chitra).

You have to watch this movie with friends, because it is basically about how three friends (we were also three here.. enna coincidence paa..) make their way to goa and spend their time there (it is like a holiday for them). Nalla velai we didnt expect any story in this movie. It is the usual Venkat Prabhu style movie, with lots of one liners, fun, etc etc. Not even in one scene they were serious. God, is it possible to so humourous ? Even before we could finish laughing from the first joke/humor the next one is half way through. I am really 'dispersed' ;)

The first half konjam izhuvai...till they go to Madurai, apparam ore kondattam dhaan. Ivanunga tholla thaanga mudiyala. Producer kaasula nalla ooru suthi irupaanga poala. But they have enjoyed and we also enjoyed in the process.

The surprise element was Sampath and his characterisation. I think this must be first movie to directly portray gay relationship. I really appreciate Venkat Prabhu for his effort and Sampath has done a fantastic job as usual. He was very good, even in Saroja. Giving him good 'company' was Arvind. I am also happy about the way they have portrayed their relationship without making a mockery of it, which even Dostana (Hindi movie) failed to do.

Jai, Premji and Vaibhav were awesome. Particularly, Premji had the scope for "Back go" fights and "Amman kanna kuthara" scenes. Jai's speciality was his 'spoken englis' and Vaibhav his play boy character and his tryst with Sneha. Sneha, Pia all have done their role well. Every character had something or the other to do and their main aim was to make us roar with laughter through out the movie. I had a severe stomach pain by the end of the movie. One of my friend was laughing so rockingly that we thought that she would end up in the first row (we were at the third row from the back).

Story - nothing, screenplay - average, songs - good, camera - beautiful, direction - ennatha direction, avanga holiday la eppadi time pass pannuvaangalo adhaye padamaa edhuthirukaanga..but Venkat Prabhu scored this time too. I will definitely go in for a 2nd watch.

CatchIT... (heard that TamizhPadam - movie , is also very good..yet to watch it anyways)

I also liked the review (almost same sentiments as mine) which I read here.
