Hero and Villain






Nowadays, my little hero is very big fan of tamil movies especially the masala ones.

He was big fan of "Ko" even while he was  2 years old. He always used to love to run across the hall for the introduction theme music when hero chases the gang of robbers. The next on list was Thuppaki. He loved the stunts, music and heroine ;-) I remember that we were very excited when he watched the whole Singam - 2 movie with us on a movie night. He had few lots of favorite songs depending on the period of concern.  Neeram, Endrendrum punnagai, Singam dance tops that list.

Now, he has new outlook on tamil cinema. All this happened with the watching Kaththi movie in theaters. He loves the songs, the hero with the red shirt(that's how he calls it) and most of all the theme music and coin stunt. As the outcome, we enact the scene with lights off; music at the background and laundry coin box everyday evening. Abhinav is hero, me - the friend who switches off the lights and Nambi being the villain. It is so much fun seeing the little one so serious (with the music on) and of course hitting  hubby ;-)

He loves dancing for the dance numbers. So Nambi introduced him to "What a Karuvad" song  from VIP movie. He absolutely loves all movements that the actor makes in the song. He loves the high pitch "what a Karuvad" and the terminology "Sutta vadai". There are days where one could hear him continuously murmur the song. From the song,  the attention moved to that movie. He wanted to see the movie. He could not sit still to watch the whole movie. But he loved the way the actor reacts to the yells and scoldings of his father and highly attracted towards the word "Dhanda soru" meaning "sluggish person". (Uff!! It was tough to explain the meaning of the word)

Along side comes the movie Pokkiri(pronounced as Pokkidi), were he loves the Vadivelu comedy. He calls him "silly guy" and loves every comedy track of the movie. Fortnight back, I saw those scenes atleast a dozen times). I am made to enact the whole scene sequence where he is hit by the 2 guy and the girl(thats how he narrates it).

This morning during his daily chores, he narrated his favorite scenes of which each character in that movie. Following was the conversation we had:

Abhinav: That movie where the hero drinks the flower vase.
Me: ?!?!?
(After recalling all the movies he knew of.....found that) it is Pokkiri...
Abhinav: huh...yes...Pokkidi...
Amma...what is pokkidi pongal like??Is that a pongal? y do they call it like that...
Me: (Gave all evading answers.. He interrupted in the middle)
Abhinav: My favorite scene is when the hero  shouts "Help, help and help" in the elevator.
 Me: Why is that favorite?
Abhinav: That is silly.
Me: What is silly about that?
Abhinav: Hero shouting for help is very silly. Does hero shout for help?
Me(dumbstruck): Mhmm...huh!
Abhinav: Tell me...does hero shout for help?no...right...Thats why it is silly....
Me: uff!!
Abhinav: (Laughs) For the silly guy, I like when he is hit by 2 boys and the girl....so
Abhinav: Also i like the heroine
    (in that scene.?always. Before i could question further)
Abhinav: (smirks) You know when I like the villain??? (continues to Laugh) 
When he is dead...
Me: ?!?!###$%%
