Saw a movie after a long while with friends. Some aspects that i liked about the movie.

Priyamani-When we were entering the theatre none of us liked her much. By the time the movie was over,everyone agreed that she did a fabulous job.

This dialogue of Prithviraj(who plays a director) when the superstar gives him a date out of the blue. He says he doesnt believe in getting a superstars date somehow and then create a story accordingly. I guess if all directors believed in this principle many of the waste films couldve been avoided.

The effect created by the fact that its a real story. Some stories make you laugh and you forget about them the next instant( like OSO), some make you cry and are made only to make people cry(like akashadoothu), some make you think(like swades). This one generated a strange feeling in me. Maria was crying next to me, I so badly wanted to cry,but I couldn't. I felt a sharp sting,but tears wouldnt come out. It took several minutes to break the silence after the movie was over.No,Im not being overdramatic.This is what I felt,doesnt mean you would feel the same. People differ drastically and you may fall asleep during the film.

The way in which Love was portrayed in the movie. It was different. None of the stereotyped teenage romance and living together 24*7*365 as soulmates. It showed that Love could be as intense even if you are miles apart,living different lives,pretending not caring,being egotistic. I dunno to describe it. See it to feel it.

The short life spanned character of Praveena whose dialogues are just the opposite of what you expect from a typical movie character under such circumstances.

I loved this scene where Priyamani wants and expects to see her love in her deathbed. She,being a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy isnot looking at her best. In this scene you see her wearing a pottu(bindya) unusual to her character.When she knows that hes not gonna turn up she slowly removes it. I dunno if others even noticed it, but my heart just went out to her seeing that scene.

It depicts the hardships underwent by others so well that it makes people like me who panics on a hiccup feel ashamed

The fact that a movie with such a humble casting could create such an effect that the viewer has been thinking about it for the past 8 hours.

P.S-I thought i maybe hyping it,but maria just told me shes been thinking about it as well. So its for sure that there's something about it that touches your heart.
