Rahul, My Story

A slumdog desperately trying to become a millionaire (Con)

A Muslim running away from his past, country and fellow Hindus (Religion stereotype)

A wanna-be-rockstar rebel candidate determined to prove his mother wrong (Freewill)

A prostitute making plans of running her own brothel (Prostitution)

A family too poor to pay back loans and lead a normal life (Organ trade)

5 of the most sensitive issues in India, and…

100 cinema goers desperately waiting for the mid-movie break to figure

WHAT THE FUCK was going through the director’s mind,

{WHERE, WHEN, HOW, WHY} THE FUCK will these 5 subplots merge and

WHO THE FUCK set their GTalk/Twitter statuses to ‘Vedam is good’ that morning

Justice is swift, at least in Tollywood.

Had Allu Arjun been in Mumbai on that fateful day, more lives would have been saved. More importantly, Kasab would not have made it this far for Allu Arjun breaks his neck in the movie. That is Vedam for you. Someone was eventually going to make a movie on the 26/11 attack. New York came out 8 years after the 11/9 attack (DDMM format in India people!). “So why not me?” thought Krish, Vedam’s director. But probably due to the movie’s budget issues, the terrorists had to attack a government hospital and not a 7 star hotel (A small note to terrorists – our government hospitals kill more number of people every day than you ever can.). The movie also did away with expensive SMGs, rifles and explosives by using raw human strength – Allu Arjun’s newly acquired 6 pack for big time flop Varudu and Manchu Manoj’s, err, good body. And just in case the heroes ran short of muscle, their girlfriends (usually called heroines though they have no role other than dancing with the hero) had enough body piercings to finish the job. And since when do ‘Guest Appearances’ appear throughout the movie, intertwined with main plot?

FYI: Anushka’s screen time is not more than 10 minutes (for those of you who are planning to watch the movie for her, like I did)

Now I cannot help but wonder how RGV’s movie on Paritaala Ravi will turn out.

3 years ago, Trivikram came out with Jalsa. Good quality comedy ran throughout the movie. However, the director had some punch lines in his mind for a really long time. The dialogues were written. And that shaped the plot. Not that Jalsa was the first movie to do so, but it deserved a much better, well planned story.

And now Krish’s Vedam. I did not find anything good Krish’s Gamyam either, except Allari Naresh’s comedy, Kamlini Mukherjee’s once-in-a-blue-moon appearances. But then I heard people speak so highly of Vedam, so I decided to give it a try.

Wrong Move! (Another small note to readers: Watch Crash and then Vedam (Crash’s pathetic remake))

Have to watch ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ soon…
