So finally yesterday i got down to watching Mouna Ragaam. I had heard a lot about the movie and have been wanting to watch it. So the oher day when i was in Landmark I found this really cool DVD from Bayshore for Rs.95 and it had 4 of Mani Ratnam's greatest- Mouna Raagam, Thalapadhi, Nayagan and Agni Natchatiram.
The one thing i reaaaly love in the movie is Mohan's house in Delhi. OMG. It was soo amazing. Revathi was absolutely adorable. From the beginning to the end she literally stole the show. The movie is'nt your typical Indian movie run-of-the-mill romance. It shows Revathi as a modern woman not willing to spend the rest of her life with a stranger. And for once there is no mush. At all.
When Mohan comes to her house to ponnu pathify Revathi disses them and does not return home till late. When she does arrive she is surprised to see him still waiting and tells him all the bad things about herself to put him off. Obviously he falls in love with her after this.
Buth the best ponnu pathifying scene according to me in Tamil cinema is from another of Mani Ratnam's movies - Alaipayuthe. When the groom's people come to see Shalini's sister her parents force her to check out the groom's brother. And the part where she hesitatingly says "yenekku ekneve kalyanam ayichu. appa amma ku theriyadu". Oh Lord, how i love that scene!
And also..
-"yenekk age ennavenalum seyvia?"
-"aama"
-"train le endu gudipiya?"
-"mattein"
