[Imported from Blogdrive]Saturday Entertainment


Saturday Entertainment
Weekend entertainment always pays in the long run. Not only is our usual relaxation of both physique and mind, an healthy entertainment always never fails in lending a helping hand for creating and innovating a more healthy and rejuvenated week ahead.
Today morning, I was having an extended sleep and then I had planned to first rejuvenate my personal website. Then switching through the channels, it was really excellent gesture of KTV -- Non Stop Kondattam, to have screened Paati Sollai Thattadhe, a film of full-length comedy staged by Pandiarajan, Oorvasi, Manorama and SS Chandran under the banners of AVM Productions. In the middle, there was an interesting courier delivery. As I have described in my other blog, regarding an exclusive savings account from Corporation Bank, a jerk in the bank was refusing me to give the cheque book and thanks to the intervention of the head office, that the cheque book was today courier delivered. It was a classic and jazzy looking cheque book of CorpClassic account type. I really wonder, how come, such innovative banks afford to keep such clumsy jokers with them, spoiling their name.
Coming back to Patti Sollai Thattade, it was a story of a guy, who is very much attached to his grandmother. He has lost his parents in his tender childhood and hence the affinity with his granny is very much leaps and bounds. After his education in the city, he is returning to his village, to be greeted with all red carpet welcome. In the train, he has an opportunity to meet his life partner (Oorvasi) accidentally. Oorvasi (starring as Sita) is actually an escapist from the clutches of under world mafia in the city involving in flesh trade and other underworld businesses.
The story revolves around how the hero (Pandiarajan) goes about in managing the various circumstances in getting hands of Oorvasi. The most coveted attractions of the movie are two things:

Super CarSuper Car was actually a research car made by a professor, and he was intending to get awards for the same. It was supposed to run on sesame oil and if given petrol, it would run reverse.  There was a comedy scene, when one drunkard would pour liquor into the petrol tank, to escape the cop catching him red handed with the bottle of liquor. The car would start dancing after 'consuming' the liquor.  The background music 'Car Car Super Car' is really an excellent and really makes us glued to the television or the theater screens.
Manorama's Walking Stick The walking stick that Manorama uses, she makes a lot of defence mechanisms including fighting the villains. Girls, I would like to bring your attention to the same. Manorama, even from her young age, in old films, stars as a very bold lady. She is in fact, a role model for women to be bold. Affectionately called as 'Aachi' in Tamil Nadu, she is a perfect role model for all women across the world to face others with confidence.
Amidst the film, there are certain valuable messages too. The true love and assurance that Pandiarajan gives to Oorvasi that they would unite in wedlock and the various ardous ordeals they undergo to achieve the same and endure that for the sake of mutual love for one another. 
The film also portrays some of the negative sides of current society. Pandiarajan is attempted into an illegal seduction by the typist in his office and Oorvasi sees it and very much collapses.  Things go worse, when the caretaker of the rented child attempts the same. Manorama, with her known ingenuity, sets things right and unites the couple in happy wedded life.  One line, which Pandiarajan tells is very much noted "There must be a mutual understanding and non-suppression of information between the life partners. If there is a violation of this agreement, life becomes a hell". Is it not hundred percent true, in these age of increasing life breaks in the form of divorces.
Let us hope, there are more such true entertaining films from the cine industry, bringing in renaissance in the society.
