Mangatha Da!!

It happened last night when I was figuring out the laws of the universe by counting numbers backwards (thus trying to induce sleep!). Out of nowhere, I got this sudden urge to post a review about the movie Mangatha. It was probably the effect of listening to the "one track" on different radio stations over and over again that the only thing stuck in my head at the wee hours of the morning was "MANGATHA DA! " :P ! I groped for my mobile and checked the time. It was close to 12.20a.m. Mom and Dad were fast asleep. I thought I'd let it go and try blogging sometime later. But my mind refused to give up. I started going through the entire movie in my head and I realized that I definitely had to start now. It was like now or never!! Grabbing a couple of tissue papers by my side, I started jotting down everything that came to my head.

Likes

1. The title and the director's touch in the last few scenes, explaining the nomenclature!
2. Ajith's salt and pepper look
3. Trisha's wardrobe
4. The plot (Brilliant)
   
5. Lack of sentiments (Brutality through n through!)
   
6. The twist in the climax
7. Premji - IIT Gold medalist ( Compensates for a (-)Santhanam movie! ;)
8. Goa!!!
   
9. Machi open the bottle and the other one-liners!
   
10. Trisha does not meet Ajith in Singapore! ;-)

Dislikes

1. Spelling it as Mankatha!
   
2. Poor Dialogues ( And their incomprehension due to the "cigarrete hindrance")
3. Pace in the first half ( slow pick up! )
4. Lakshmi Rai (:O) and her sudden entry into "the plot" (Probably because they couldn't recruit "Sheila" and they had an "almost item number" in hand!)
5. Anjali, Andrea ( Who? where?Hmm.. Male centric? )
6. "Vaada Bin Lada" track - Lame entry!
   
7. The Paradox with the Climax! ( The twist in the end comes in the last few minutes. By the time you appreciate it with :O on the face, it's gone. In order to see if it all fits, now in full awareness of the twist, you will need to watch the movie again. But then, the truth is you can't watch it more than once! By you, I strictly mean " I " :D!)

Neutral ( Read as "Can't decide!")

1. Smoky effect in the movie
2. The other co-actors presence in the movie (including Arjun)
3. Yuvan's Music
4. Premji's effort in comedy

Lessons from Mangatha!
