Movies that I watched during the long weekend - II

Kalloori, is the tamil word for College. This movie is set in interior part of Tamil Nadu with Madurai dialect (a form of Tamil spoken in & around Madurai).

It emphasis on friendship and each of the friend helps each other and how they project their friendship in need of the time forms the rest of the story with an interesting climax.

In my earlier posting, I had mentioned that 3 movies touched me very deeply. I will add this movie to that list.

1) Anbe Sivam
2) Ammuvagia Naan
3) Kaadhal
4) Kalloori.

I read the reviews in Rediff.com and some mentioned that this movie is remake of a Telugu movie - Happy Days.

Happy Days is a different story and Kalloori has a different story. One cannot compare these 2 movies. The story background may be similar as it is set in college which the youth will like.

Balaji Sakthivel director of both Kaadhal and Kalloori has a very unique way of story telling. In midst of the so called masala movies that Tollywood churns out, these 2 movies really stand apart.

These 2 movies are not suspense thriller and doesn't have a nail bitting finish and doesn't keep audience what will happen next.

The story moves pretty well and doesn't keeps the audience guessing and there are no unexpected twists or turns. Story moves very naturally and I recommend watching these 2 movies if you haven't.
