Gowramma
Last saturday I had been to collect my bike from the Honda service centre and there it was getting longer than expected. My friend called me over to MG and I told him that I will be there in 15min but at the service centre it was taking longer than expected. As usual he started pinging me and then he call saying he has taken tickets for the film Gowramma.
I went over to Sagar theatre where he was waiting with his friend out there. I parked my serviced bike near by to avoid the traffic. They were standing near the theatre waiting for me and the other guy cursed me for coming. He had bet with the other guy saying that I wouldnt come and he had lost it. We had some chats and went to watch the movie. The actor was upendra and I was expecting really worst kind of jokes and dialogs but it was a different kind of movie.
The movie starts with an engagement party and our hero Upendra enters. He is one of the useless guys who jabbers and good for nothing but good at heart. The girl (heroine)gets engaged with some guy who is from America. In the mean while the hero is summoned by the heroine's dad tells him that he would get him a job at his friends place. There are various comedy instances in it which makes the film a bit interesting but the humor didnt come so effective at all. All these instances make the heroine get interested in the hero and she falls in love with him. Later this is found by the hero and he leaves the house. But unfortunately his dads friend comes and convinces him saying that for whatever reason it may be dont leave us go.
So he continues to stay and their love continues. This story gets very slow in the second half and I got up and came home. It was really boring for both of my friends.
I thing kannada movies have to be much more innovative in themes and jokes so that people could laugh and enjoy them. Anyway when I came home I found that my bike had a broken mud guard. But still saturday was really enjoyable.

Kya Cool Hai Hum
Friday my cousin mailed me, asking me how about going to film on the weekend. I was really free and even I wanted a change. So we decided we would leave at 11.00 the next morning. We both were really excited for going to the film but we were not sure which movie to go. Later we decided that we would go to innovative and then select a good one.
Things never go the way you want to and you need to manage it by planning it. So same thing happened with me too. The next day I had lots of work to be done. First connect the regulator to the newly bought ceiling fan, one more regulator for the dining room, get a signature from the banks on a document, get a film CD from CD shop for my sis. Every thing went fine as I had planned but as usual there was an interrupt. While on the way to getting the film CD, I met my college friend that to after 5 years even though I stayed near by. So he called me over to his house and we chatted for a while. By then I got a call from my cousing reminding me that I am suppose to go to her house. Later somehow I reached her home, and we left after sometime on my bike. She was very afraid of getting on to my bike and I told her how to get on it.
We had a long drive to take and she was sitting on the bike for the first time. She enjoyed the ride and we reached there by 12.30. Even I enjoyed her company. At the counter we found that there was only one movie at 12.30 and the next movie was at 2.30. So we decided to go to "Kya Kool Hai Hum" which was the only movie available at that time and I was bit reluctant to go to the movie. We directly went to the movie film and it had past 10mins and the Kya Kool Hai Hum song had already started.
The story was similar to Masti kind of film which we both had seen together earlier. The story was of two bachelors who wanted to make good girl friend and become rich. It starts with a killing of a girl in a lift where in an Inspector by name Havaldar has been assigned. There was a nice joke of confusion where the comissioner calls the inspector. He says I am Havaldar & the confused comissioner says why are you in inspector's uniform if ur a Hawaldar. He clarifies by saying my name is Hawaldar but I am an Inspector. There are other double meaning jokes like the comissioner is asked by the reporters what is the reason of the murder. He says the motive for the murder is sex as one of the part of the girl who is murdered. The reporter asks which part was lost. He tries to answer but withdraws by staring at the cleavage saying no I can't disclose.
Then come our heroes who work in a dress store like shoppers stop. A guy who always fakes that he has one night's stand but in reality gets screwed up in a bad way. There are nice instances which are created in the movie. The first instance was impressing a gorgeous girl by standing beside a Merc and saying that his car isnt working. She tries to open the door but she is unable to open it. He tries to impress her by opening the door and goes with her on a drive. He explains to his friend saying that he had nice one day stand with her and it was really an enjoyable night for him. In reality the car doesnt belong to her and he gets belted by the police instead of having one night stand with the gorgeous girl. This experience he shares with Aftab the hero as if he had the really come over her. Aftab who is innocent imagines story and thinks his friend to be lucky. One more instance is with the police lady inspector which I will tell later.
Our hero who always dreams about girlz and tries to make Girlfriends which ends in vain. He meets a palmist who says that a girl with a mole on her right of her bossom. One more funny is the palmist asking the fees. The palmist asks give me 500 bucks,aftab says no I dont have, the palmist say then give me 200 again the same answer, palmist gets really frustrated, he asks 100 still the same answer. In the end he asks aftab how much do u have. Aftab says I have only 12.50 paisa and palmist gets really frustrated. Aftab gets really happy with this foretelling and he starts staring at all the girl's bossom and gets scolded by the boyfriends also. In the mean while the heroes' boss DK throws a party and says after the party he will be going to America. He also hands over his flat keys. In the party a funny instance happens aftab's friend flurts with a girl in the party and finds that she has a mole on her bossom. So he informs aftab that the girl of his fortune is sitting at the opposite table. He also shows him how to impress her saying if she blushes and gets away, she is impressed by you. So he goes to the girl but unfortunately a mid aged Woman sits in that place instead who is fully cladded. And she gets away by looking at his irregular behaviour. He follows her and tries to look into her bossom to check the mole which leads to a chaos.
At the boss's empty flat these two guys stay and there they get a call from a gay (Kiran)boyfriend of their boss. First time aftab's friend talks to her saying that he no more likes him and dont call anymore. So kiran gets wild and calls the lady police who supports people who get betrayed in Love. The Lady inspector Urmila Martodkar calls aftab's asking whether she can meet him tonight for discussing the dress design. So aftab's friend gets really happy and calls her over to the flat imagining a night stand. This time he gets really belted to the core by the lady inspector who is really beautiful. The next day he explains so beautifully to aftab saying how he enjoyed the stay with her and how she carassed him with wildness and how her figure was which makes aftab much more sad.
The comissioner mean while appoints a psychiatrist who has weird 3balls theory along with a beautiful Lady inspector so that they can capture serial kill much faster. They suspect aftab being the serial killer by observing his behaviour in various cases. One instance is the coffee bar where he sits in a place where a gorgeous girl with short skirt leaves her keys. He follows her to return the key but at the exit a cigarrette butt falls of his mouth into his trouser which he doesnt realise. The girl drops a basket of fruits and bends to take it and exposes her base. In the mean time afab comes out and then he feels the cigaratte butt heat and to cool it he pours water into his trousers. Similarly, in one more scenario he catches a cat and fondles it by sitting on the chair and holding it in his hand and later on he leaves it down. He finds that he had left his pant unzipped. These instances make others who have a vigilance on him, assume that he is sexually distressed.
So they decide to send the Lady Inspector to Aftab's flat. There she tries to arouse him to maximum extent. Like she squirms with half clad cloths over him which could really disturb him a lot. She also comes dressed in a black dress and she drops it to expose all of her skin. Even in this case he just controls all his feelings. And lot more similar cases which brings in humor through sensuality. The psychatrist also brings in some typical comedy like that depicted in Hungama movie. His wife misunderstands him by thinking that he is having an extra marital relationship with the lady inspector. In all the cases aftab gets evaluated by the lady inspector and she gets involved in love with him by looking at his innocence. She also gets confirmed that he is not the killer.
He gets involved in helping his friend to marry Kiran (gay). His friend never realises that he is involved with a gay and he discusses to him over the phone. He gets misunderstood him with a damsel and gets in love with him. And he plans a run away with him and get married but doesnt get permission from Kiran's parents as they know the fact. Aftab kidnaps him and takes to a temple where there is lot of confusion and finds out Kiran is a gay and it was confusion. By then the police finds a girl once again murdered near a temple and puts his wanted photos everywhere in the city. All the layman tries to catch him and his run starts. Fortunately the real maniac killer hands himself over to the police saying he is the real killer. Who explains that his main aim was to become famous. As any hindi movie it ends in a happy ending.
This movie was a tension mitigator. It gave a lot of fun through sensuality and funny instances. I liked the movie but it puts you in vulgar positions if are especially with a girl. This is a different strain of movies which try to bring in comedy through sensuality. A college girls group had also come who enjoyed the film to the core. In the end we both enjoyed but songs were not so good. The item number wasnt good too.
Later we both didnt wanted to go home and we thought why not sit there and do some time pass. We took milk shake and just whiled our time. Then we sat near the endeavor stage and started passing time by observing the couples around. She started telling me that I had not searched her the boy of her dreams. But in reality I told her that the boy of her dreams and she will be getting it only in her dreams. As most of the guys of her like would be either available only in colleges or very rarely in reality. We also identified the couples which are really good. I told her my views about how few groups are for e.g. I showed a three persons group in which there were there 3 girls and I boy. The boy had a girl and rest of the two looked like her friends. The second girl was really cute and she was very interested in the boy and unforturnately he was booked. We analysed few more girls and boys and we thought we better make a move. My cousin wanted to drink the anjeera drink which she had liked it a lot and we thought we would go to Gramin for the same. We went on a long drive to Gramin and ripped at 100Kmph. That was really an enjoyable ride. When we reached there Gramin was closed for renovation. In the end we thought we would go to cafe coffee day. There the atmosphere was really great and we enjoyed the cold coffee.
At the end of the day I enjoyed the film. Sometimes we say the film was very bad eventhough it was bad. It is ultimately what matters is with whom you go. Few times I have enjoyed dumbest movie with my friends. We used to pass comments and make it really enjoyable. This time it was a different experience. I also enjoyed the ride to the theatre and to the restaurant in Koramangala. Saturday had passed by without any efforts and made it one of the memorable one.
