I needed some company as i did my kitchen chores on Friday evening and that's how i watched this movie. It is a fairly good movie to pass your time. All about marriage and deciding to get married in early-20's. It had lots of funny and life-like moments. For example: The guy wishing to throw a big party to all his friends and his newly wed bride cooking every single dish :) The quick transition from college life, friends, fun life, day-dreams to a big thud of responsibilities and a new relationship.

I liked the song - "Poomukha Vathilkal", which is, i presume, most Malayalee men's ideal and classical description of "his spouse". My sincere apologies to those who disagree, i too, know a few who don't fit this label. Luckily 'R' did not have it on his wish-list... thank god!!! You won't beleive how i heard about this particular song for the first time. I once spoke to one "Mr. Potential Prospective" over the phone who was from IIT and worked for a top American multinational tech corporation... and i racked my brains to ask something.. so i asked... "What are your thoughts about your future partner-to-be?" hoping to find some common ground or strike an intellectual connection and i was told ... a woman exactly similar to the lyrics of this particular song. It is an Old Malayalam movie song from 1986 so i frankly had no idea, but i did some research after the mini conversation and asked some friends and even my mom for the meaning of the lyrics. It is a great song but when i put it in perspective with the other bits of our small talk, i foresaw big red flags and that was the end of it! Glory to God for his great mercies! Marriage is really not about one individual's whims or dreams but it is about what you have to offer to your partner.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

This movie was a box office hit in 2009. It is a well made movie...worth a watch! Jayasurya is truly like fish taking to water in every character / lead role he is assigned to. He plays it aptly! Whoever has written the story has done a great job too... captured the youthful mood of today's college friendships.

I was playing this song in R's vicinity later on to hear something... anything from him..., he just gave me some dirty cold stares like Really????? :))
