Asalu needi post office kelle mohamaa ?!!!




I detest Telugu movies, I find them really brain-dead and decadent and other bad things. But a couple of movies I saw recently lead me to believe that the patient is still breathing. One is Pokiri, starring Mahesh Babu who is a really charismatic actor. The movie is quite unremarkable, but there were some decent comedy scenes. One in particular cracked me up. Mahesh Babu acts a general rowdy kind of guy, a 'pokiri'. He skips a meeting with the heroine claiming that he had some work at Kacheguda post office. Later on being found out he gets a talking-to from the heroine who didn't believe him in the first place. In that scolding is this great line: "Needi post office kelle mohamaa ?". It would sound even better with an "asalu" in the beginning, but I don't remember if that was in the movie or came out of my mind.
The literal translation of the above is "Anyway, is your face one that goes to the post-office ?"

Yesterday we saw Bommarillu. This was a nice light comedy with a genuine theme, a son struggling to find himself in th shadow of his controlling strong-personality father. Lots of good jokes and genuine creative stuff and it also had a touch of genuineness and handled some serious themes well.

We also saw 7/G Brindavan Colony recently, quite good.

Here are two Indian movie sites: Sulekha, and Idlebrain
