Sivaji
Well it has been some time. Been busy enough not to write something over here. It has been a great couple of week here. I have not been at home more than 2hrs awake time over the last 2 weeks. Here is how the whole busy period started:
Couple of weeks back there was a screening of Sivaji at a place called Herentals (hope got the spelling right). It was about one week after the release in India and considering the huge Tamil population in Leuven we all decided to make a trip of it. It was just one screening of the movie, so for the first time in my life i saw a Rajini movie "FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW" but sadly enough it was the last day and last show also. We all gathered at a place just outside the town and went for the movie in about 5 cars. This trip reminded me of stories which my dad and relatives used to talk about, of how they all "mattu vandi katindu" go to the nearest "town" to watch a movie. Very similar experience. Must say it was brilliant. The place was about 1 hr drive from where i stay and over all a great experience.
Regarding the movie, personal opinion only, ordinary for a Rajini/Shakar movie. Good compared to most of the other movies dished out by the Tamil industry. It was like neither a pure Rajini movie nor a pure Shankar movie. It was in between. But that is will happen since u got 2 great ppl of the industry together. But what i enjoyed more was the whole experience and must say Vivek hats off. And yea of course saw the movie way before most of the guys in India could have seen it coz of the crazy rush for tickets.
Well the cinema hall was a small one. But all the people in the hall were only the Leuven crowd so was great fun to watch the movie with people. There were a few outside ppl in the hall before it started, but they were showing the movie on another screen next door, so looking at the "looty" we guys were creating they moved out [:D].
All in all a great fun day. And really must thank Ganesh and Vinodh for organizing this event.
