100 days of love - An Experience

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

Now!!  that's the line to start describing this experience with.  I'm not an avid follower of malayalam movies but the good ones doesn't get to evade me so easily. The first look poster,  DQ - Nithya,  and with the way the trailer leaves an impression with its wonderful music and an intriguing cinematography,  this movie went into my must-watch list instantly. Today I had the pleasure of experiencing,  as I would like to call it,  Jenuse mohamed's 100 days of love.



What makes this movie special apart from the technical finesse is the great performance.

The best thing about the protagonist, DQ is his subtlety and he fits perfectly into the role of BKN. You don't get to see a single scene where he either over-performs or under-performs. Nithya is gorgeous (if that word can actually define just the being she is) .

"Her smile was magic",  exclaims BKN when describing their special moment to his friend Ummar.  I second you dude.  It indeed is magic. She is unconventional and that makes her truly special,  as the character she portrays - Sheela. So the movie is exactly 100 days of love from BKN's perspective,  with the 100th day being the climax . The director's love for art and his interest in retro and classics is quite evident and that makes the movie all the more interesting.

Ummar - BKN's friend,  Mr.Rahul - (such a cliché - that's exactly how Jenuse describes the character) and Sheela's parents,  all have done their part perfectly.

Govind Menon's songs are good but the background score is in a completely different level and is scintillating.  He lures you graciously into the dreamy romantic experience the story is set to offer you. The trailer is more than enough to stand as proof.

The cinematography paints Jenuse's romantic tale with magic and the colors that would definitely make you love the painting,  the movie is.  If it's one scene to quote,  it would be the one where BKN and Sheela first meet - the rain,  the reflections,  her smile and his awe - just perfect and magical.

I have tried my best to not stride in the path of revealing the story / plot and spoil the experience but couldn't resist the urge to applaud the simplicity and the talent.

The movie is like a painting,  simple and yet beautiful,  that leaves you with warmth and a smile on your face.

I give it a 4/6 ( why rate it always on 5 ;-))

Jeova sanctus unus

One of the world’s greatest scientists.He was an alchemist, a member of the Royal Society of London, a Rosicrucian, and he signed some of his most secretive science papers with a pseudonym — ‘Jeova Sanctus Unus’ ! which means “One True God”. He signed his name that way because, like the ancient Adepts, he understood himself as divine. In addition, because the sixteen letters in Jeova Sanctus Unus could be rearranged to spell his name in Latin, making it a perfect pseudonym. Jeova Sanctus Unus is an anagram of a famous alchemist’s name in Latin. Latin interchanges the letters J for I and the letter V for U, which means Jeova Sanctus Unus can actually be perfectly rearranged to spell this man’s name. Isaacus Neutonuus. Newton’s name had always been a recurring guidepost for those seeking secret knowledge. Great man and a brilliant one indeed!!!

Sa re ga ma–again . Oh! Plzzz

  NO OFFENSE INTENDED . Its always a pleasant thing to listen to music when you are completely bored or stressed out . But the music I listen to , in college . Phew….will come to that later . Most of my classes in college are totally boring these days . My friends , open up their mobile phones , keep them under the desk and start messaging to their friends , in such cases .I am not the always-texting kinda guy , so I just pretend listening and Im quite good at that . Boring lecture are always comfortable for many , as they could do whatever they want , than to listen .But I prefer them to be interesting. Wait !! Wait !! Don’t get any ideas .Definitely not to listen but to escape from my aquarian friend (My best pal). An interesting class with equations and derivations will keep him busy . He sticks his head to his notebook and comes out with doubts and questions .He very well knows that im not the one to ask questions to , so he deals all that stuff with others . Think that ...

Always Together

  Sketch , by me :-)   Ease your storm , My Love You needn’t worry You needn’t fear Time cannot separate us For I , hold the power to control it Fate can never take you away from me We shall Always be Together . Always Together .
