Yaaradi Nee Mohini - The Review

Ohhh Yessss...I wanted to watch this one after some stupid movie review site called it "a treat for rom-com lovers". To say the least , romanace and dhanush are like...miles away from each other. To begin with, this was a remake of a telugu movie that I cant spell, but it was made by Selvaraghavan. How on earth could selva make such a movie. Or maybe it was better in Telugu? Honestly, I do not have the courage to watch the Telugu version after I've watched this one.

Dhanush + Software Engineer -> Does this make any sense to you? It doesn't to me. But actually thats what he becomes. A software engineer who works for a s/w company whose entire system crashes becuase Dhanush plays with his keyboard. A company whose HR executive is also the Project Manager for the techie project.A company who delivers a 'CD' as a deliverable to their client. Forget it...Dhanush just does "something" for "some" company.

Story - yes..actually a story does exist. Dhanush falls for Nayan and joins her company in a bid to woo her. Things go crazy between both of them eventually resulting in the death of Dhanush's Dad (Raguvaran in a very decent portrayal). Dhanush is left without anyone. His friend Karthik (our modern Alva Raja) who is about to get married invites Dhanush along to his so called "orthodox" home in some place in TN. There is no prize for guessing that Nayan is the same girl that Karthik is engaged to. What follows is total crap. The way they have portrayed a Brahmin household is trash. All characters seem straight out of "1980 Cinemas". Plot is entirely predictable. There is no chemistry between the lead pair. The songs are poor. The humor is pathetic. You reach a point where you cannot bear all this any further, and at that point, thank God, the movie ends.

There's nothing much to talk about this one.Just save your money for a rough day.

Yaaradi Nee Mohini - Damp Squib

Rating - 4/10.

there you go... now you are talking... nice blasting review... i was in the theatre for this one after a lot of my telegu speaking friends urged me.... no offenses, but they liked their version i guess... i went right to sleep after i saw the scene where dhanush gets rid of his shoes and tie and then codes his company to project delivery on time... WTF? when you get rid of your tie and shoes and rope around a towel around your waist, the max you can do is hit some stones with an axe.. not coding man... and yeah.. it was followed with an even more hilarious scene... the one where the computer screen says something like "code executed" or something.. i never bothered to watch it after that.. i was told it would get better from there on... but hey... u had your chance... now its mine.. and i choose to smoke my way to throat cancer outside the theatre halls than to sit inside and watch SHIT....
