Boss Engira Baskaran - Through my eyes !




We kept hearing raving reviews about the movie's comedy riot. And experienced a sample of Arya's wit in one of his chat show He appeared in Coffee with Anu program and i could not stop laughing listening to him .He was so casual , witty and fun on the show. Hence we decided this movie is a must watch . There we were at sathyam cinemas spending a nice night laughing our gut out. The movie began with a nice feel of a typical introduction of our hero Arya's (Baskaran aka Boss) family members . And comedy started there itself with the beautiful narration on Boss's sister who wants to be an aspiring TV compere and she fitted the bill by enacting the typical compere acts even when having a normal talk with friends and family. Then comes our Arya's best buddy rather we refer him as "Nanben" Santhanam .The story starts with Arya getting himself geared to appear for his arrear exams and hiding all his bit papers for copying in the exam. And the theater gets in to splits when the lollu sabha combo appear on screen .It took a while for me to understand the typical Chennai slang to follow the jokes there but it is not new to us to laugh along when others are laughing. So did just that and then had a solo laugh when hubby translated the slang to my understandable language.The heroine Nayanthara appears as the invigilator and gets boss out of the exam hall when he attempts to copy. But Arya falls in love instantly with her . Every time she keeps him shut from talking further by using her favorite word in the movie "Pardon" . It becomes hilarious when the Kumbakonam brought up , not so educated hero and his best friend converse with each other on what that "Pardon" could be .Aptly Santhanam uses this opportunity to break us into another laughter by translating that as she wants you to sing -as it is Paa deen?? The movie is so fast and not a moment you feel that it is boring or the general want to think what next , why the hell this scene is dragging etc .

Only suggestion would be Arya should not straighten his hair as he did not look so great in the songs pictured abroad.Bad hairstyle and choices of costumes. On the other hand, Nayanthara has been wise in sticking to Nalini Sriram's outfits off late and the costumes looks colorful and nice .But she could have chosen a red boots for the red gown ..black looked odd when it was a full flowing gown .And what was she thinking when she wore that dusky gold make up !! Guess every movie has its flaw and this is nothing major as the story line keeps you laughing most of the times.

The audience get very excited every time the duo get into their "Nanbenda" dialogue and does some funny pose together for the sign of victory (like the one guys do for getting a wicket) . Suddenly it gets sentimental with the tutorial business not doing so well and when showcasing the behavior of the rural youth towards a blind teacher .However things get filmy very soon and everything falls into place . I did not like the Jeeva part much but guess it is not too bad as it added more humor towards the end though it could have been edited better .Unbelievable to think a guy coming back from US will settle down on a terrace for a quarter with a stranger and then give up his prospective bride. Again ..it's a movie ..so let's say OK to that scene too!

Totally -a comedy riot and we were on a laughter coaster ride while watching this movie. If you are the kinds to enjoy comedy films and like it when the big screen showcases a carefree guy's life , then book your tickets now to enjoy and have a hearty laugh !
