What "Mugavari" means to me

"Mugavari" is one movie that has affected me a lot. Saw it today on K TV. Fourth time.

Directed by someone called Durai, who hasn't made a movie since, "Mugavari" is the story of a struggle, a story of a man caught between dream and reality, a story of a man finding his 'mugavari'(address).

I've always felt that Ajith would do himself a world of good if he acted in movies like this. His performance as the aspiring-to-be-music-director Sridhar is just apt. Jo is bubbly, playful and had a beautiful role to play in this movie - of a girl who supported her guy's dreams.

One of the scenes in this movie has impressed me very very much. A group of small and tall guys are at the beach, and all the tall guys ring a bell that is at a height. A small guy in the group too wants to do it, is mocked and told to "dream for his height". Finally, in superb slow motion, the small guy runs, runs and ... Tang... strikes the bell. Ajith(depressed after his recording was cancelled) and Jo watch this, their reaction to this awesome scence is excellent too.

Some dialogues are brilliant:-
1. Jaicha makkunnu soluvanga
Totha luckkunnu soluvanga (Raghuvaran to Ajith)

2. In a song - "Idi thangum idayamkuda Mounam thangadhu"...

3. Ajith to Manivannan ... "When you ask a child if he likes his appa or mama, the child will say appa. But if you ask him if he likes his appa or amma, he will instantly say amma.
Like that, when I was asked to choose between music and Viji(Jo), I said music. Now, when I am asked to forced to decide between music and family, I say family..."

4. "For everyone to be happy, Viji(Jo) and me have decided that we cant unite and decided to part. This is not 'drogam', it is 'kaadhal'."

Super dialogues, packed with punch and emotion.
