A Wednesday

Until I came across the news that Kamal is remaking this movie in Tamil/Telegu, I didn't have any idea about this movie. Out of curiosity got this movie dvd from a moser bear store.The running time of this movie is approximately 100 mins. Or to say 100 mins of non stop thrill. No songs, No boring dialogs. I don't want write about the plot. But one thing I would like to say is, in the remade version, if the running time of this movie is more than 100 mins then I'm not sure how fast the screenplay would be. Please don't add any songs.

Some years back Kamal acted (I think Produced too) in a movie called "Kuruthi Punool".I think this movie was a failure in box office. I think the reason for failure is the story line. 95% (or even more %) of people in Tamil Nadu don't have any idea about Naxalites. And this movie deals with police and naxalites.
If Kamal follows the same story or plot of a Wednesday in Tamil, the box office success is not assured.

Movies

Till the year 2004 I have watched only very few number of movies. Starting from 2005, the number of movies that I watch per month is exponentially increasing. In 2005 it was weekly one movie, 4/5 movie per month, in 2006 it was 8-10movies per month and during last year and this year more than 10 movies per month. Since I don't watch TV, my major pastime is watching movies.

The problem of watching too many movies is, whenever you watch a new international movie you can easily assume the plot and story and in case of regional movies along with the plot you can find from which international movie they have copied.

Last week I watched Charles bronson "Death Wish". Charles bronson becomes a vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter is sexually assaulted by muggers. Story sounds familiar isn't? This movie was made in Tamil with the title "Naan Sigappu Manithan" with Rajinikanth in the lead role.

Some hollywood movies stories are very crazy. We have a seen several movies in which humans or animals become possessed by a demon. Have you ever imagined that a machine was possessed by a demon? Weird to read isn't? Try watching "The Mangler". An industrial laundry press machine becomes possessed by a demon.
