Bomarillu - A film that will remain with me for a long time


 #Bomarillu

A few months ago my cousin elder brother who is 10 years older suggested me to watch a telugu film with a weird name, 'Bomarillu'.
The suggestion was heard and then forgotten. But one random day I came across Genelia Deshmukh's instagram video and suddenly the name flashed in my mind so I googled it. On discovering that it has 8.2 imdb rating, I instantly grew a strong desire to watch this film.
I downloaded this cinema and from here on now I'll just pour in my emotions of how much I have loved this film
This is simply a beautiful, magical film. To describe it in words would be to devoid it of its' magic.

The cast is cute and both the lead just grows on you to the point that you fall in love with them. Genelia, a typical bollywood watcher would agree, had her moments with films like 'Jane Tu Ya Jane Na' and 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gya'. Any guy would be drawn to her by her cuteness and she has a very fresh and happy personality that never fails to steal your heart.

But oh god! Bomarillu would make you fall for her head over heels. Her character Hasini is an angelic beauty.

And there are these brilliant moments in the film. The way the first time Siddu & Hasini meet. You are taken into a magical world with the background music and the originality of that scene is purely divine. It will forever remain with you.

Then when Siddu goes to her college to introduce himself and she reverts:

Anthena??
Inkem Kavali??
Veelaithe nalugu maatalu
Kudirithe cup coffee

I have enquired some telugu friends, and in their words, this particular scene was the go-to romantic opening line for an entire generation. 

And now the scene which I have binge-watched a thousand times. 

Bus stops...Hasini comes out, walks towards Siddu

She cutely delivers her mixed feelings and without clarifying returns to her bus

And then all the girls shout "Senior Sir....Hasini Loves You"

My heart skipped a beat with the music and the whole set-up. 


Oh I wish I was a 25 year youth in 2006 in Andhra and could have watched this film then..

The songs, (and I don't know telugu), are a treat to the ears. I had to learn Apudo Ipudo.

But one thing that this movie is not, is simply a love story, NO.
This movie is a journey of a typical BOY.
This movie shows when does a BOY become a MAN. The tussle between an over-protective father and a two-faced son is a real conflict that most of the boys can relate to. 

Thank You to the whole team of Bomarillu for creating such a marvel.

In The Shadow Of Tyranny

In light of the philosophy that this video propounds, Indian independence struggle against British imperialism is a testimony of how mass civil disobedience (1930) can make an invincible tyrant kneel down. Nonviolent civil disobedience throughout India was a wake-up call for British raj. It realised that once the conscience of 'enslaved' gets awakened, it cannot be thwarted for long. For today's society, 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley gives a great insight into how when your conscience finds its' voice, solace comes in seeking the answers to the questions that hitherto you were oblivious to. I personally feel that many wouldn't want to awaken their inner-voice, for many 'ignorance is bliss'. It would be cruel to subject an unprepared mind to existential realities, nature has its own ways of doing that. We as mortals should limit ourselves to our own search, not make it a personal agenda to awaken everyone, that would be equivalent to a tyrant/e...

SITA-RAMAM

  I don’t remember when it happened but somewhere and at some point in time, I stopped believing in love stories. It so happened that once the idea of true love went missing in my heart, I started to drift away and got lost in the market of cheap entertainment, it was instant gratifications that robbed me of the opportunities of waiting with dignity for real love. Words came easy to me once when describing any piece of art, literature, or music that moved me. I used to find my innocence when I found stories that were so beautifully unreal that they seemed divine. But lately, love stories appeared cornier and cornier and the stories became so predictable that even if I watch a love story (which I generally avoid), it fails to move me. Today, after watching the late-night show of Sita-Ramam, I feel I have found that old believer in me. I am glad he is still there, believing in the idea of magical love. This film was so complete in experience that it will remain with me. Sita-Ramam is...
