Cheeni kum


Hindi movies nowadays are getting more and more realistic. Till sometime back, certain themes were kept locked inside the almirah, but delicate and sensitive issues and relationships are slowly stepping out of the closet. Cheeni Kum talks of two consenting adults wanting to spend the rest of their lives together. But there's a hitch... The groom-to-be is elder than the prospective father-in-law. Buddhadev (Amitabh Bachchan) is a 64 year old man and Nina (Tabu) is a 34 year old woman. Two extremes, in age, character and attitude, meet and against all odds fall in love. Lot of people didn’t really like this movie as they thought it was absurd and stupid. I thought the movie was very cute and everything is fair in love and war.

If given a choice... What would you guys do?..
Wait for the right person to enter your lives
or
Think thank god there is something called arranged marriage.

*Shudder*
That's quite a movie. I've never been a fan of hindi movies since they tend to be monotonous.

And to answer your question:
If given a choice... What would you guys do?
When wrong people keep on entering my life, I think "thank god there is something called arranged marriage."

Just kidding. I'll wait. When God created us, he created the perfect match for us to...so I believe.

And hehehe....19 is such a random age to use...even in flirting. Ugh. Never been a fan of flirting. It's stupid. Why can't people just be direct?

hi... Gotta kno abt ur blog thro raja... Well... I think Kollywood was way ahead in introducing such a theme... I remember a film called vidukadhai starring prakashraj and neena... But cheenikum became famous bcos of itz publicity...
And if given a choice, wd definitely wait for the r8 person to come into our lives...

I don't think things ever go the way you want it to when it comes to your love life :)

I would go with "keeping my options open" :D

Kavitha Jay said...

@raz-kallakitta po..proud of ur decision..

@dakaltiz-haha..ada paavi..ennamo po..unna thiruthave mudiyathu...jokes apart..wat ur saying is very true..:)

@confused-hmm, i dont know if its just for me or for everyone, if i really want something to happen in a particular way it always ends up happening the exact opposite..
so i guess keeping the options open is the only way..;)
