PVR Cinemas - Bangalore.

Over the weekend we went to PVR to see a movie (Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu). I somehow left my phone in my seat when my son created a mess with his Nachos. We realized it almost an hour later! But here is what was the good experience during that time:
  1. The PVR guys were friendly enough to let me into the theatre to search for the phone while the next show was going on!
  2. The guy sitting in the same seat (where I was in the previous show) was friendly enough to give me his phone to dial my number and look for the phone in the darkness.
  3. The PVR cleaning staff were honest enough to deposit the lost phone to their office.
  4. The office staff were good enough to quickly verify my identity and my relationship with the phone and returned it to me.
  5. My son was patient enough throughout the drama without wincing while we were both very hungry.

Whew! That's quite some learning for one afternoon!

Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu

This weekend we went to see "Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu"(http://www.vettaiyaaduvilaiyaadu.com/). And I did the mistake of taking my 6 year old son along :-(

Oh boy! With 25+ murders (28?), half the time I had to cover the kid's eyes so he wouldn't get nightmares! But he did enjoy the rest of the movie though.

Having said that, it is a pretty ok murder mystery movie. Harris Jayaraj has done some good work (though loud). And the camera work was indeed good. The movie has Kamal all over it.

If I can steal an expression from Bhaskar Ghosh, "You should see it if you have the stomach for it." Yep! You need the stomach for 28 murders and blood and gore in most frames.
