Pudhupettai - Sunday update

A flashy looking, macho bike starts from Pudupettai. Every aspect the vehicle impresses you, as the bike races ahead of all the others on the road. Before long you feel that the maker is indeed a genius.

Then comes a signal, at which point you are impressed to no end.



The signal goes green and the vehicle starts. But something troubles you. The vehicle is not picking up speed. You see that the vehicle is dragging itself to a different course. Oops... Both the tyres have gone flat.

Then what? The vehicle loses momentum and its accessories begin to fall off. After an intolerable length of time and having lost many of the add-ons, the vehicle comes to a standstill, just 10 metres before the destination.

Someone tries to kickstart it. But the lever goes down in the clock-wise direction. Someone tries to honk. But there is no horn.

You step backwards to get a better look of the vehicle. Gosh!!! There is a bell in the handbar and the kickstart lever is actually a pedal.

After all it was a bi-cycle.

P.S: Selvaraghavan makes you follow his moods. Both when he excels in the first half and sleeps in the second. Yuvan is getting better and better.

On the whole...
1st half - Pudhupettai
2nd half - Pazhaya Vannarapettai

Update on Sunday 28th:
One of my friends who risked the movie for the second time on sunday, said that about 30 minutes of movie has been edited out in the second half.

And these scenes include
- Dhanush talking with Sneha on her deathbed.
- Dhanush asking Sonia Agarwal to help him get his kid back.
- Dhanush leaving his child in dust bin and talking to the lady who adopts it.
- Dhanush going in the bus, getting wild and breaking a scare crow in a field.
- Dhanush hugging the villain and crying after killing him.
- Reading out the names of candidates at the party office.
Each of these scenes were about 5 minutes in length.

The movie runs for about 2 hours and 20 minutes now.
