Paatti Sollai Thattathey!!

I think that as a fit sequel to my previous post I will review the above named movie. I saw Paatti Sollai thattathey on K TV. It was the best movie experience I have had in a long time. It was like chatting for a long time with a long lost friend and recounting all that we missed about happier days.
Manorama reveals her class. Pandiarajan does what he is best at, look stupid and confused. Adding to the mix was cameo roles by YGM, Venniradai Murthy, Disco shanti, Silk and of course S.S. Chandran. I remember how the "Super Car" featured in the movie was a novelty in those days and beckoned hordes of movie goers to the theater. I am going to leave the details about the story out of this blog because writing details about the story is cumbersome, unnecessary and takes the fun out of writing this post.
With advancing age (yes, I became thirty a long time ago) and expanding family have made me a sucker for nostalgia. Maybe I will write about how the above two factors are connected to nostalgia in a different post. The simple special effects, small town style humor and clearly understandable Tamil makes for a special movie experience.
This movie is strongly recommended for the expat Tamils who want to kick back and enjoy a movie without much stress or work for the gray cells.
