    Sudish.. U should arrange for a webcast of the film, just for the bloggers and take invite for it.. I am very eager to see the film..but being in US, I do not think I will have the opportunity to see it in Theater.. the only recourse will be in pirated DIVX format from some illegal website.. i would appreciate if you could save us from that pain!!..
    btw, I did my masters in Colorado State Univ and Raghu has mentioned about u..

    great abt the movie, mr.kamath. (will come to that after i’ve read up a bit more abt your posts on that….)but i was jus seeing one of your posts where you seem to put down the average blogger. whats wrong with being just an average nobody who likes to blog and air his/her opinion? after all isn’t communication a basic thing that ordinary human beings engage in? and what’s wrong if these ordinary people pass judgments? doesnt everybody do that at some level?and even if you arent the best of writers, i think blogging is a great forum to get together like minded people or even diametrically opposed people. the best thing about even inane blogs is that you realise you arent the only person to have gone through ‘it’, whatver it might be.

    yep. gotta watch the movie. thanks for the reminder.

    i have this doubt….as stated in one of the review-liners, “emotional without being sentimental”! what is the difference between the two?!

    Sudish, a very basic question is, what is the full form of TFLW??
    Am sorry, but since the time i have moved out of chennai I’m not able to keep track of tamil movies..hence the basic query:-)

    thx

    anonymous (the mirchi suchi fan):
    No, she is not in this version of the film. She did act in the first version of the film shot in 2002. hawkeye posted the link to an old trailer. and yes, please do watch the film. Paloma plays the role she played.

    1$saint:
    dai, nakkala? nee padam eduppe ille, i will save my comment for that! πŸ™‚

    anonymous (raghu’s friend):
    we are planning an internet release in march. just another month and a half to go. Patience.

    ajay arjun:
    Release slated for February. Will post actual dates when we confirm next week. And thanks!

    kausik:
    thank you very much once again.

    anonymous (vetti blogger supporter):
    yes, some vetti bloggers rule. πŸ™‚

    anonymous (femina interview tip-off):
    I thought the interview already appeared in the Diwali special issue. Or is this another interview?

    madrasmaamey:
    do tell me how I can reach him?? Thanks a ton.

    anonymous (same problem as sriram):
    What problem?

    Prasad:
    In February. Will post actual dates next week. And yes, please do watch it. Thanks.

    Aaradhana:
    You seem to have misunderstood the article. It only asks you to make sure the blog is an extension of your real self. It does not put down the average blogger. Im the average blogger. πŸ™‚

    anonymous (who has doubt on difference between emotional and sentimental):
    He probably means that it does communicate the emotions that the characters go through without making you cry or get sentimental.

    anonymous (clapper):
    Thank you.

    Romi:
    TFLW is short for That Four Letter Word and no, it is not a Tamil padam.

    Anon (memoirs of a geisha tip off):
    Thanks. Yes I have been quoted but the quote is attributed to The Hindu. So not worth buying DVD! he he!
