Mild
spoilers ahead. If you don’t want them to be revealed, just
‘Like/Love/Wow/Sad/Angry’ and move on 😊
8 reasons why I did not ‘like’ Maanadu… 💓
1. Probably
for the first time ever in all these years of movie-watching, a villain does
not want the hero to die. That was as tough to digest as an undercooked biriyani
#BeAliveLoop
2. One
finds the hero flying from Delhi to Coimbatore in ShivAir and GoAir
alternately. The day might get repeated. But the flights don’t. I have heard of
codeshare flights; but this one is…? Unless I missed a subtle message there... 😉 #AirlineLoop
3. STR has
a grand total of four outfits – okay, five including the patient gown. And that
is the highest among all actors. Advantages of a timeloop movie? No costume
expenses. #SartorialLoop
4.
Dhanushkodi meets KhaliQ for the first time, he asks for his name. When he
gives his name albeit diffidently, Dhanushkodi lets out a judgmental, ‘Oh!’.
The next shot is on Khaliq’s face, which depicts a tremendous mixture of
resignation, insult, how-long-will-my-community-be-judged feelings.
#ReligiousLoop
5. Just
like people wondered about how old Kattappa in Baahubali was, people will be
counting the number of times Simbu dies in this movie. #NumberLoop
6. Blood is
thicker than water, they say. Yeah, right! Don’t let them mix. Else it will be
a #BloodyLoop all over again!
7. There is
more to SJ Suryah than that meets the eye. He probably exhorts YG Mahendra as
‘Thalaivarey!’ in more ways than the number of punishments described in Garuda
Purana #LeaderLoop
8. Heard that they have stopped teaching the students Caesar’s veni, vidi, vici in schools. Instead it is, வந்தான்; சுட்டான்; செத்தான்; ரிபீட்டு! (He came. He shot. He died. Repeat!) #InfiniteLoop (yes, that pendant!) 💓

In software
development lifecycle, we keep harping that the clearest of requirements gets
the best software out – I mean there will be less bugs; a bug-free software is
a myth anyway! Similarly, a good movie must have spent a lot of time on
writing. Readers might remember my lament about Tamil movies’ writing or lack
of and how Mollywood movies rock in that aspect. Venkat Prabhu has worked
really hard to make a cogent movie with intelligent writing, that Ujjain BS
notwithstanding. Creditable, indeed.

Maanadu – a
successful conference of minds!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐
PS: I unlocked my phone only once during the movie; just to snap a picture of friend Baala (Great start, man!! Congrats & best wishes!) That, my friends, is an achievement in itself!
