I'm already struggling day and night with Hindi, if I went to Telugu too I would lose my mind! :)<br /><br />But welcome aboard, Krishna, you'll notice I'm not as prolific in Southie cinema as my friends across the two oceans/ across the border, but I do try to give it its due when it's called for. I have bouts of Southiness and then bouts of Bollywood, but you never know when the next wave is going to hit. :) Well, hope you're not disappointed and looking forward to seeing you around!Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-20954711927956109482011-01-12T21:13:42.610-08:002011-01-12T21:13:42.610-08:00"learn the native language and you would watc..."learn the native language and you would watch this movie everyday only for the dialouges :D ;) " ..

Soooo glad it was only the subtitles (I kind of suspected it, but usually I can guess the real meaning behind bad subs, this one left me completely puzzled :)). I'll edit my post to reflect that. <br />And so glad to hear that they did away with that song and some of the comedy moments (hopefully none of the comedy moments between the cute couple), these were my only true quibbles about the otherwise very well written film. And that must have also adjusted the length, which is also great since it seemed a bit too long to me.<br />But thank you once again for the great news! It makes me really happy when little things like this get corrected even if it is in the eleventh hour. Now I suppose I'll have to start hunting for the theatre version :)<br /><br />@ Anonymous - thank you for the compliment :) Haha! Funny you felt the same way about that song. It's not bad on its own though (but then I'm a fangirl, so not sure how much one should value my opinion about a song that's made up of badass poses with the hero :P).Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-70959768031932839392010-11-02T02:08:43.756-07:002010-11-02T02:08:43.756-07:00aptly written review on prastanam, evn abt de song...aptly written review on prastanam, evn abt de song, i just fwded it whn im watching the moive. now i need to go back watch it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-22316612857719329932010-11-02T01:45:19.632-07:002010-11-02T01:45:19.632-07:00btw, the song that you mentioned and couple of oth...btw, the song that you mentioned and couple of other songs and unwanted comic scenes are deleted from the movie after first day screening in theaters :-)Bharathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989336331519502961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-81244380618415613742010-11-02T01:42:16.782-07:002010-11-02T01:42:16.782-07:00Hey..nice review.

But when heard in native language you'll find the correct meaning. The guy is just letting out his frustration and cursing the bad guy in the native language. <br /><br />I can definitely say, Prasthaanam is one of the best telugu films I ever watched and I haven't heard such awesome dialogues in any other film.<br />So, please don't go with the subtitles. <br /><br />OMG, luks like I'm letting out my frustration now :-)Bharathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989336331519502961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-82669280421830945352010-10-29T15:48:59.389-07:002010-10-29T15:48:59.389-07:00Oh, do watch it.

Mine kept pausing and cutting bits of the film, and the subtitles were awful. :( But the movie is well worth a watch I say, and it ties things together better than Raajneeti (which I also quite liked). And yes, there are a lot of similarities, including a better integrated (in the plot) half-brother.<br /><br />And since you will probably understand the political side better than me (I was horribly lost in the beginning and couldn't for the life of me figure out what they were challenging each other over), come back and let me know if that made sense. I make no promises for it :)<br /><br />Though the more I think about it, the more I realize the movie is really about the relationships between the family members. That part was indeed treated very maturely.<br /><br />Oh, and get snacks! :P I've been putting it off for months after rushing to buy the DVD the week it came out, because it's 3 hours long... :-/Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503508735843316282.post-35482833490944739282010-10-29T14:53:01.602-07:002010-10-29T14:53:01.602-07:00Aha!

The point is that, after reading your review (and specially because you somewhat compared it to Raajneeti) I'm now willing to watch it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
