BOYS have all the fun.....


And so it happened... after countless days of waiting ..(actually its more or less a week)... BOYS was expected with such heightened anticipation as no other Saturday night movie ;-) ... the setting was perfect... well to say the least it was worth the ride from start to finish although jittery at some points.... BOYS was just pure fun... jolted out of the seats on "Aunty-pandaram's" antics early on ...typically gross... although cud have seen that happening in a Shankar movie ala Indian, Gentleman but this was way too obnoxious.... It's this kinda movie when u know whats gonna happen in the end.. and u have read those umpteen reviews about a band of young talents... making it big against odds.... but u see it for the treatment..... Intro scenes were amazing just the right narration and to the first installment of songs... way too good.... doubting Rahman is like questioning Sachin's prowess... inexcusable... oh! i shudder to think of those poor souls who failed to release the audio.... Amazing dancers they were... Bob kaly was just phenomenal... nowadays i burst into peals of laughter on just seeing Vivek appear on screen.... he is just amazing.. toned down to the needs... still carrying the movie on his charm.... Then come the blips... unnecessary songs... extended dialogues yaaawn!!!... the worst of the lot some really tacky animation... Shankar i guess has been so obsessed with the use of animated characters joining the sing & dance routine... it's ok for "never-seen-animation-b4" audience and front-benchers... but i beleive thats a mighty little percentage this day and age... cud have done without.... oh not to forget the one too many "Matrix - like" freezes... more Yaawn... it's Ravi.K. Chandran alright ...but it can never be Kannathil Muthamittal.... and abt Harini a.k.a Genelia D'souza... looks really cute... then again she will one of those heroines who' will disappear into inevitable oblivion.... loved the on-your-face dialogues... esp. by Kumar.. and the Ayappa song is indeed a minor masterpiece.... I've been used to seeing the same movie repeatedly... but for this one I didn't have the inclination... sums it up all... worth the wait.. worth the watch ...ONCE...
