Some movies, I just cant get them out of my mind that quick & Angaadi Theru is one such movie.
I saw the movie on Sunday and few scenes & dialogs keep coming back in my memory even now. The movie deals with the poor youth of South Tamilnadu, who were forced [by situation] to bear their family responsibilities, move to Chennai to work in Multi-Storied stores as sales boys/girls ["offered" by the store owners] in Chennai and their misery livelihood.
There are movies which made me feel in one or two scenes but this one, s#!t. I thought of running out of the movie because I cant stand the sadness [I kinda liked that as well]. One could imagine that life is not that easy, after seeing the movie. Rather I'd say director just focused on the darker side of life, which he's made as his style btw.
There were many scenes in the movie which shows the pathetic conditions of those sales boys/girls that you'll start feeling for them. I'm wondering if I can be cool the next time when I visit these kinda multi-storied stores. I might think about the characters of this movie when I walk through Ranganathan Street [T.Nagar] the next time. It has become a trend now in Tamil cinema for these kind of movies. The problem is that the directors have started exaggerating the reality [like the lunch scene where the boys/girls go mad for plates & food] just to make it "filmy".
I kept asking just one question in my mind while I watched the movie - Is survival that hard for people in this country? If yes, why is it so? I donno, somebody?
-Jeeva
PS: I donno if I liked the movie or not but this left a heavy impression in me. If that's what is meant by a movie's success then I'd say this movie is a blockbuster up to me.
