Vikram...and Life ...

Some things change your life.

For Kenny 'Chiyaan' Vikram, it was 'Sethu'. He was a dubbing artiste first(he has even dubbed for a character in "Kuridi Punal"..its very evident that its Vikram's voice..). Then, he did some chota chota movies. But he evolved in 'Sethu', he became an actor.

I watched 'Sethu' today on Sun TV. Third time. Its a very good movie.. the story of a ruffian college guy turning good to impress his love. The end stages(after Vikram becomes mad) could have been avoided and it still would have been a good movie .. but then, he turning mad was what made the movie a success.

Two dialogues in 'Sethu' that I liked a lot -
1. Ithu Nenja kasakinalum konjam sugama irukku ...(Vikram describing his love)
2. Ara manda thalaiyan koila mani adippane ...(describing the koil archakar)

If 'Sethu' had not happened, Ambi/Remo in 'Anniyan' would have never happened.(I had the opportunity of shaking hands with Vikram at a cinema function. He behaved very well; cool, always with a smile, always finding time for fans, journos, co-actors etc...)

All this says something about Life too ... its a shitty struggle out there yes, but one good move and you'll be up there with the stars.
