this song dedicated to valli, who i think, she will be away a few days
i am not sure what the true title of the movie is - is it patta patti 50 50 or potta potti. i have seen both. i have seen the movie, and reviewed it elsewhere.
sports theme movies, though not great in number, appear to come regularly to indian screen since lagaan's success. i have seen tamil movies with kabbadi teams as background and also jallikkattu, i think. for cricket this movie is a first in tamil, afaik.
the story is simple two groups of villagers take on a wager over winning a cricket match, cricket of which these know nothing.
ramesh, a passer by with a broken down car, gets roped in, and (ofcourse) falls and gets the most beautiful girl in the village.
i love the sight of south indian girls in our movies - whether they be harini in this movie, or amala paul or anjali. they give credibility to their roles. as opposed to bimboish tamanna or shreya or (worse) the chubby hansika in engeyum kadhal. the only fair north indian who fitted her role was tapassee, as an anglo indian, in aadukalam.
but i am wandering away, from the purpose of this post ie to get you to listen a fab easy going toe tapping duet - by hariharan mahathi, music arul dev
enjoy idhuvarai idhuvarai.. with some fabulous still shots
