Movies

Am just making a try ok

...movies....... has been with me from when? don’t know when I started seeing movies or which was the first one and don’t have the count also. But one thing for sure, has seen them in thousands, 100% sure. Now what’s so great about movies?

I have friends who seldom watch movies, and are not bothered about the events related to the silver screen. Fortunate or unfortunate, I was born in a family where each member loved movies and had their own tastes and interests about them. My childhood onwards, this is a part of my life. then on movies had something to do with weekends, more or less on Saturdays or Sundays. Many a times it end up watching the Hindi and Malayalam movies in doordarshan on sat n sun.TV's contribution in my home came at a later point of time, but my grandfather did buy a TV and VCR, sometime in the mid 80s. Cassettes used to visit our homes only on weekends but.

Anyways my father took all his efforts to see that me, my brother n Amma were taken to all movies at the theatre. Malayalam forms the major chunk, while Tamil at time to add to the spirit. Hindi.....oops, the only 1 I remember is a bachan movie 'ganga jamuna saraswati', I know its not a grt movie, but at that point of time, the thrill I had narrating the story to my friends ... cant be expressedsome of the good movies I enjoyed with my parents n brother includes: the siddique lal series till godfather, kireedom, bharatham, aye auto, new delhi, vadakkan veeragaatha, roja,varavelpu, I don’t remember the last movie which we all enjoyed together.

Time passed by, and me n brother were very much ready to watch them alone. Now on my memory is clearer, Johnnie walker starring mammooty was the first one we went without parents, there was no look back till today, when I have almost seen every movie I have heard off. A bit exaggerated but still true to a great extent.I was not a fan of any star, but liked mammotty a bit more than mohanlal during my initial days.

Movie was not looked into by me so seriously and English movies were never in my list.Simple, coz I couldn’t make out a bit. but then too much of mohanlal movies(that too larger than life characters) along with he fight in my class over the rival mammotty and the upcoming star of then, the present king khan, made me to become a hardcore mohanlal fan and am still the same. even when I loved to watch mammotty, king khan or kamal hassan on the screen, i was ready to betray them for the favourites of many, lal. this carziness has burnt my hands when it lead me to watch movies of lal, which could not break even for the viewers, think of the producers then. but even then his movies had a superstitous belief in me when i blieved that a lal movie atleast 2 weeks before my exams wud help me in clearing them. 'ravanaprabhu' is one such that did help me in clearing CA intermediate. thereafter i had to struggle for my finals, coz lal never came out with a good one and i kept on wiating and unable to clear my finals. i somehow cleared finals.

the flow of movies gained its speed after i moved out of my home and is continually improving even now. now movies are more than timepass to me, they are time killers, my weekends which used to pass on with one single movie, now has a minimum of 3 movies. morover, of the 6 working days atleast 3 of them stretches into the next day, when am very much in front of the tv finishing my movie targets for the week. not to be omitted, new friends in life have introduced me to new outlooks of movie and now am interested in englsih movies, and can make out much of them in the screen.

the interest has gone to an extent, wherein now i have a collection of movies, with special interests like stanley kubricks series. never heard of him till 2005. hehe, god knows, where this is going to take me. but today tamil, malayalam, englsih n hindi forms my movie diet. hotel rwanda, crash, braveheart, falling down, fallen, full metal jacket, ben hur, killbill1&2, some of them, shall add more soon

thats it for my first try, movies 2 will be relased soon
