weekend theme - "C O M E D Y"

Had a sooper-dooper weekend... (which I realise, is ending ... right now...)
Imsai Arasan 23am Pulakesi , the Tamil movie has been banned in Bangalore. God knows for what reason. Heard from a few friends that the movie is really funny and a must watch. My cousin's friends had gone to Hosur to watch the movie. So what did we do...yeah we too decided to go to Hosur. "Balaji talkies" was the place to be and 1 PM was the show timing. We left home at 11:30 AM on Saturday, to reach Hosur at 12:30 PM. Thanks to the weekend, the roads were absolutely empty. Can you imagine Hosur road to be empty :)
Reached Hosur and asked an auto guy "pulakesi padam odara Balaji talkies enga irukku" (where is Balaji Talkies which is showing the movie Pulakesi" to which he replied "andha padaththa thaan thookitaangale. pakathla Raghavendra talkies la odardhu" (that movie has been removed from the theatre, its showing in the next theatre called Raghavendra Talkies"
So, round and round we went, through the streets of Hosur, in search of Raghavendra Talkies,

On the way we found the poster of "Mosquito Man - kosu manidhan". Can you imagine a movie by that name....
Well, we finally found Raghavendra 'theatre' DTS in the 'down road'. The show was only at 2:30 PM and the gates were locked, so went spent the time listening to music in the car.
At 2:20 when we walked up to the theatre, there was such a huge crowd that we had to stand in the ladies queue to buy the tickets.
"Dont damage seats, it is for your CONTINENT" (...... read CONVENIENCE)

The movie was hilarious, not the usual Vadivelu jokes.... we were seated amongst a huge college gang, so it was good fun!

Sriram had forwaded details of a play by EVAM showing at Rangashankara. Got tickets to watch it Sunday evening.
Once we were at the auditorium, we could see hoardings which read "Karthik Marry Me" Karthik Kumar of "Alai Payuthey" and "Kanda Naal Mudhal" fame is a part of the Evam group.
My cousin was heart broken that she could not get his autograph :)
The show was HILARIOUS! Just too much! These guys rock! Just don't know how 2 hours went by. They got the whole crowd involved in the show, at one point the everyone in the theatre was screaming out dialogues from Hamlet (or.. Evam's version of it) We kept laughing non-stop... it was just too good!

There... its now past 10:30 PM Sunday.... hm.... life goes on....

Keep Smiling :)
