Path breaking movie called Inbaa !

Rarely such movies come in life which changes your life forever (Or at least for a while :-) ).

Sometime back , we were told about a tamil movie by a friend who said the movie was good. So we watched the movie. It had a good cast , but what followed was an extraordinary 3 hours of movie watching. Name of the movie was Inbaa. (Starring Shyam and Sneha ).

The story left us breathless first. Rich girl , Poor Hero , girl loves hero , girl's house don't accept the love. Then hero also starts to love the girl. A few meaningless songs and sleepy fights later they are united. Bad people are all dead in the end. We watched the whole movie stunned. (I must be honest and admit that till the end of the movie, i had the slightest hope of seeing at least one tiny twist, at least one tiny fresh dialogue which never came ).

The screenplay , if there was an award to be given to the most uninteresting screenplays, this one would win it hands down.

Some questions came to mind...

1) How did the director convince the producer or financier to fund this movie ? Its pretty much possible that the producer had too much money and wanted to try and make some sort of record and make the worst film of the century possibly.

2) How did the lead cast agree to do a movie like this? I mean , I used to think well known actors listen to the story before they do a movie. Every time I imagine this sequence I burst into laughter. (" Sir ... open pannnaa.. oru rich heroine sir. Neenga oru poor hero sir. Avanga ungalai love panraaanga sir. Avanga veetla ethukku othukkala sir. Appram naduvula naalu fight podroaam, naalu song podroaam sir. Climax la neenga seanthudreenga sir. Industry la namma story thaan sir talk of the town aa irukkum " ).

3) After the movie is made, Is it not watched by the director, editor, producer and other people before it is screened. How is that not even one of them had the kindheartedness to say, ok lets not screen this movie and cause intolerable cruelty to the humankind. :)

So why is this movie path breaking and life changing. ??

- After watching this movie , i now seem to be able to tolerate some of the other movies too. Like Arasaangam etc. This movie had literally raised the bar so much, that I think I would probably enjoy Veerasamy if I watch it now. Now is that not path breaking ?
