Had lunch with one periyavar yesterday here in the US. He fits the tamilian’s definition of Major Sundar
to the tee and boy !! looks like he got a shock of his life after watching OK Kanmani. For those who don’t know “OK Kanmani” is the
latest Tamil movie about how Generation Next view relationships (living
relationship and all those you know..). Great movie by Mani Ratnam, Bollywood had
started making such movies probably a decade ago nevertheless it is a
refreshing Tamil movie and I love the song “OK En Kanmani Madiyil”
Now our Major Sundar is not concerned that some bandha showing guy will put kadalai and his paavam young daughter might be conned into such relations. His daughter is already married but he is just concerned that Mani Ratnam is spoiling tamilians by making such movies, he had the choicest of abuses for Mani Sir…Kasmalam is the only one that I can share here…ok “Kenai” is the other one that I can share. As per periyavar most of the Tamil guys have always been bad, perennially they all are like “alwa” giving Sathyaraj but according to him tamil woman's jewel is her chastity. Major Sundar thought the whole scene where the guy and girl end up in the same hotel room due to circumstances and then they deciding to do the kasa musa is nothing short of abacharam. He was like such guys and girls should be punished and in fact he was happy that in the movie, the girl’s mom does send the boy to maamiyaar veedu but then our hero in the movie is lord labakdas and continues his relation with the girl which further enraged our Major Sundar.
I did interrupt periyavar and told him that this is just a
movie, so he should leave it at that and also movies are reflection of the
society..so this is happening whether he likes it or not. He took strong
objection to my views and from Major Sundar he soon became Karuthu Kandaswamy and went on to explain how this movie will spoil the young tamils. Due
to my not so great tamil ..I didn’t understand most of his Karuthu but I kind of
enjoyed my lunch with this person. He firmly believes that it is not OK to be in Kanmani Madiyil and it is OK to be only in Manayvi
Madiyil…..
p.s – I know this post has too many tamil words, if you didn't understand then time
to learn some tamil slangs I guess ;-)
