TPP: Ajith and waists, pt.4.

From Rettai Jadai Vayasu:

Rettai Jadai Vayasu(1997)

I bought the DVD because of this song. While I liked the scenes with Manthra(aka Raasi) and Ajith, overall, I feel this movie is rather draggy and boring. I don't hate it, I'm just kinda "meh". Normally, I don't mind films where I already know that the two leads will end up together but first, I have to sit through about 2 hours of whatever obstacles are blocking the path to their union. However, with this one, I was like, "Oh, hook up already!"

Here are a few reasons I savored Ajith and Manthra's screen time together(I was a bit cap-happy):






From the "Kummunu" song(audio censored from 0:40 to 0:44)


Manthra so cute! (Though I prefer her other alias, Raasi.)




Color-coordinated razor and towel. Very nice.






I plan to do this for my future husband. (Not EVERY
day, but whenever I'm feeling particularly helpful.)






Not a kiss, but close enough.





I think Manthra looks really beautiful here,
and I like the finger bite :)




From "Thaam Thakita", the song
I referred to at the beginning of this post






I'm not a fan of snakes, but
this one looks pretty sexy ;)

Nijam(2003)

The short version, for now, part deux: I heart Mahesh Babu. If only I could've been Rakshita's character and mercilessly teased him "[beyond] the limit of decency"(to quote one reviewer). He is extremely pleasing to my eyes. And Rakshita's no slouch, either. Even glammed-down, she's still sexy.

Raasi/Manthra reminds me of someone, maybe a yesteryear actress, but I can't think of who, and it's driving me nuts.

More later, once I gather my thoughts.

ETA: I haven't forgotten about this, just got sidetracked, as usual. Three things:

The look in Raasi's eyes when she rammed the knife into Mahesh's side was both scary and a thing of beauty.

The movie doesn't start to pick up until after the father is killed and the mother and son set out to destroy the people responsible for his death one by one.

The showdown between Mahesh and Gopichand at the end requires a serious suspension of disbelief.
