---Intro------------
A deluge hits the coastal region...People standing on the coast, waiting for the result of coast guards rescue operation. Ships come in..All ppl are safe...except one...THE ONE.
"He is our saviour"
"Without him, our hamlet is nothing" etc.. are the lines thrown around by the locals.
The collector does not know what to do and suggests dropping the matter because,
"One who has won the hearts of millions can only be rescued by God"
The people look towards the sea...and there rising from the waters akin to a dolphin is...is....is...well, who else, THE MAN. He splashes out of the water and plunges back in and thus reaches the shore amidst huge fanfare.
--------------------
Well, this scene got me into splits and I decided to go ahead and watch the movie.
Thank God, I did. There were a lot of lessons in that movie which I have cataloged here for the sake of my fellow ignorant people.
1) The depth of the ocean near the shore is more than 20 feet. However, this is only true when you take a dip inside the water with the heroine. When you are standing it is still 2 feet only. Please take care next time you go to the beach :)
---Scene-----------
Our heroine, having suffered the gr8 tragedy of losing a dog realizes that there is not point to life now. So she chooses a watery grave and decides to end her life in the sea. She keeps walking into the sea. Our hero, who is incidentally there, after much coaxing from his sidekick goes to rescue her. He catches her and they take a fall into the sea, quite close to the shore. But then, they go about 5 feet into the sea which has magically transformed from 2 feet to 20 feet just so that they take a proper dip.
--------------------
2) People are still bothered about how they look even when they decide to die
---Scene-----------
Heroine just before walking into the sea to end her life, applies generous make-up. This is because she wants to look good when her photograph comes in the papers. What a noble thought - 'Let me not distress the people even after death by appearing without make-up' !!
--------------------
3) Apparation is a thing not only found in Harry Potter. It can be done and that too even without trying.
---Scene-----------
It is festival season and a procession is in progress. Amidst all the the noise, hero gets hit on the head (quite shamelessly from behind), locked in a house and the baddies burn the house. After the whole locality is ablaze, the magic man rises from underneath the statue of God which is in a completely different location and foils the plan of the bad guys.
--------------------
4) Rocket launchers are not that difficult to make. All you need it is a metal tube (something, from your local scrap store will do) and some diwali firecrackers.
---Scene-----------
Hero takes a metal tube, points it at the bad guys, fits in a diwali rocket and sets it the on fire. The bad guys immediately scream 'Hey, he s got a rocket launcher' and scamper away. Dont they have a selection process for the baddies. Somebody needs to review the kind of aptitude tests they are given :P
--------------------
5) You can become filthy rich by hijacking just one shipment of smuggled goods
---Scene-----------
Poor homeless hero decides to rob the smuggler-politician-bad guy of his cargo shipment. This is done as revenge for burning down the houses. Also he knows how to make 'rocket-launchers'. Once he takes over the ship, using his sharp sense of acumen, he takes it to Mumbai (instead of the expected Chennai) and sells the wares. Then he return to his community in style...in an Audi(just to add a dash of...err...subtlety). Also he now has tons of cash to build homes for all families in his locality. Hurray!!
--------------------
Hence, the people now have much better homes, the hero tons of mullah and also a prospective bride.
I hope these pearls of knowledge will benefit you guys as much as it did me.
So long till the next post.
And we are all proud to have caught this epic movie in the theatres! :)
