Mozhi - Means language in Tamil. And the movie was awesome. I heard rave reviews about it and was itching to have a look at it and it happened on last Saturday. From the beginning till end, it was beautiful, flawless and it was a joy to watch the movie. Very few movies have touched my heart like this - movies like kannathil muthamittal. They come very rarely and stand in your mind for a long time.. Yes, yes, I will stop going on like this and will give a quick, neat review...
Story is about two friends who are doing background music for movies. Their funda of love is that if you meet THE girl you will have a light above your head and bells will ring :) And our hero sees such a girl, obviously the heroine and falls in love instantaneously. He finds later that she is deaf and dumb. Because she is physically challenged, she feels that noone should take pity on her. Additionally she hates the idea of marriage because of her parents. Then it takes the typical line of hero proposes, she refuses, finally comes out of her cucoon to accept.. In the story to add some spice there are side tracks about the hero's friend, heroine's friend, the apartments seceratary, the professor - May be unwanted, but given at the right amount hence it has not exceeded its limit.
Now, you can say, "Okay, What is great about it? Slightly different story but then the same masala!" - Direction and the cast - Thats what makes it great. Prakash raj and Jyotika are really good. Jyotika just had to act and not talk (rather move her lips.).In the last but one scene where she just breaks herself free of her fears - she cries - that few seconds were amazing - she really is talented!. Prakash Raj is who I call as a complete actor - he can do all kind of roles with ease and in this movie he has done comedy in the supporting role. Total entertainment :)
PS: I started writing this review when I watched it the first time, And finished it when I watched it the second time today. Last 30 mts are dragging and typical tamil movie 'shtyle' and I think it is Prakash Raj's delivery of jokes that made me watch the movie again.....

I have something to write everytime I go to Saritha's place. This time about Finland. Sari's hubby had just come back from Finland..
It seems that sauna's are integral part of Finnish. Couple of interesting things which he has experienced - Once after a sauna, he has done 'Flying angels' - Meaning, come out of the sauna, get out to the snow with or without a towel based on whether women population is there around, go and lie down on virgin snow and move your limbs up and down - the imprint resembles an flying angel!
Another of his sauna experience goes like this - After a really hot sauna, go to a frozen lake, where a portion of the ice is cut and a ladder is put to let you inside the ice cold water - he had to try thrice to get himself into that water till his neck..
Then the interesting part - Kossu and Salmari. Kossu's real name is koskenkorva - which is vodka made from barley. Salmari is a liquer made out of kossu. I tasted the salmari - excellent is the word for the shot I had. It tastes a lot like Benedictine dom, less strong than it. One shot could be finished very comfortably and with no after effects.
