Movie Thanda Nenapugalu

I was watching America America ,the classic Kannada movie by Nagathihalli Chandrashekar for the umpteenth time today. Ramesh has always been one of my favourite actors and i bet its the same for the scores of other middle class people in Karnataka as well. It was such a refreshing movie and its a pity that such movies are not being churned out in the Kannada movie industry.

The songs "Nooru Janmaku","Yava Mohan Murali" have so much depth and meaning,plus the way they have been intertwined with the story is fantastic. Again after a long time i was seeing an actress emoting. Bhoomika(assuming thats her real life name too) has given life to her role and matches ,sometimes exceeds the skills of Ramesh.

Why i say after a long time? Have you seen any "models" act lately?Everyone's the same-the same hot pants,the same mini skirts,the same tunics,the same etc..The sameness is killing cinema.Whoever told only the hero is important for a film to be a hit.If you take the biggest of hits its the heroine who has been the focus. I recently read an interview of an actress/model who claimed that she is waiting for the right script.Whatever the script you got to learn some acting BITCH. Actresses today have a risk of being defined by their dresses than themselves.

The other thing i was reminded of when i was watching the movie- my hometown Kumta.I am a "made in Kumta" product and will remain that way.There is so much greenery there and the life so lazy that i dream of settling there in my Vanaprasthashrama ;) . All the memories of playing with cousins and the zillion troubles i gave to both my grandmothers came rushing back.

I am just waiting for the summer to get over and want to visit my village during the rainy season to enjoy nature in all its brilliance.
