Sunday evenings are always dreary. They
stand for the impending end of the weekend. The end of relaxation. The start of
a hectic mechanical week ahead. But every once in a while, there comes a small
something to brighten up Sunday evenings. Today, I was fortunate to get one of
those super treats - Thirupachi, the superhit comedy…er…. action movie of our
own tamil superhero Vijay on television.
I should give it to the makers of this
movie. They have completely understood the seriousness of the 'Sunday evening
blues' syndrome! They have given a movie that makes you laugh – laugh at serious scenes,
action scenes, ‘love’ scenes, bloody scenes (no pun intended). The villains
make you wonder why they are not comedians. Picture this! Pattasu Balu, Panparak
Ravi, Saniyan Sagada… These are top-class brand names that
marketing gurus would die to come up with. So while you are enjoying the
villains and their names, along comes our superhero Vijay with his
breath-taking dialogue delivery and crackling-knuckles-style-machoism and a
brain to match his crackling knuckles. The spirit in my house instantly lifted
to one of merriment.
What a
superhero!! What a movie!! And what fun!! ‘Thirupachi’ therapy works like a
dream!
And as the adage goes, all is well that
ends well! And so with the movie and my Sunday.
