"Whats the problem with the movie?It was good!!" , said my friend without even glancing at me.
It was late afternoon and my friend,sister and I were just back from watching the latest tamil flick "Vaarnam Aiyaram".The movie portrayed the role of a father in the life of a son-deliberately sentimental and over dosage of romance and after sympathising with each other and by tradition we were at the hotel(Incase you are wondering what the tradition is-it is always hotel after movie).
The actor surya was fabulous(err..i am not praising his looks or his physique).He brought out the difference between different roles-school boy,youth,army guy and old father.The entire credit to him.In spite of all this,I felt something was missing in the movie.Something that was blocked in my head and was stubborn to show up.
"I think there was no chemistry between Sameera and surya",my sister offered.
"Hmmm..No..not that.Something was wrong in the father son relationship and I cant find out what", I replied grabbing the pizza with my hands abandoning the manners of eating it with knife and fork.The knife simply didn't cut the pizza.
"Nah!!You are tasteless!!The relationship seemed perfect.He did the two roles very well", my friend opposed."Maybe...
She stopped when the waiter placed a huge bowl of block forest ice cream on the table. All of us reached out for the ice cream.
"Some parts seemed missing.Guess initially it was a long movie.", sister claimed as she placed the tips for the waiter.
"Maybe,in the movie,dad smoked too much while son didn't?" ,I said suddenly when we were in the bus. Both of them gave such a look that i took to my heels and wandered to buy the ticket from the conductor.
"Will you stop giving that "I-am-thinking" look??Its scary!!", yelled my sister when we got down.
"You dont understand.It is like a jig saw puzzle-everything in place expect a single piece and I have no clue where or how to place it"
"Dialogue!!", yapped my friend and both of them clapped.
Even all that insult didnt stop me from wondering and thinking about it again and again.Both of them didn't understand that my head would split into two if I didnt find it. Was the father role too much??-no.Was the son too good?-no. Was the daughter given no role?-apparently yes but that wasnt the missing part.Something was missing..missing..missing..
"Will you forget it??Please!!",my sister pleaded as we were outside our place.
"Hmmmm..."
Dad opened the door.
"Appa,you are here?We thought you were in the office.",I said, quite shocked.
"Oh!!Where did you girls go?!? !Movie?!?! What time was the show?!?Why are you both so late?? Cant you call if you knew you were going to be late",he yelled at top pf his voice,took a deep breathe "Listen, you still havent gone to the bank!!It closes by 5!!Was the movie so important??Cant you both prioritize things in life??
My sister looked at him with her best "I-am-sorry" expression. I smiled.Now I knew what was missing in the movie.

Ejactly . !! We were rolling out of our chairs with laughter in a cheap theatre in Hosur. :) The movie lacked depth.. the father Surya never behaved like a father.One of the worst movies that I have seen till now but the trip from Banaglore to hosur was fun. I guess I need to write something about that trip of ours :) . I like the way uve narrated the "missing part".. watever u thought MIGHT be missing from the movie was really missing . :)
@skullz
Very true.I did like Surya's acting and the songs. Rest was boring.
