Daud hai.....
Its been a day since i wrote a blog. Of course, i wasnt busy with work but i had some other petty issues to resolve like shaving, taking bath, paying rent and other bills etc. Now, i'm back and this time around we need to take a walk thru some of the most eventfull star days.
The day was kadir's birthday. And we wanted to celebrate. When we said this to kadir as usual we received a completely unexpected response in his husky dusky voice "dei.....namma enna ghandhiya, namma porandha naal'a kondaada....maap'la namma indha ulagathu vandhu enna saadichom"....my instant response was "dei kadir, engalukkum theriyum nee porandhadhu oru waste'nnu, ivvalo naal illadha indha vetti thought ippo edhukku".......kadhir started rubbing his half grown beard (a sign he used when he is in deep thought)....."seri innikki enga annan padam release, adha paaka povom, appadiye thanniyum poduvom......By "his annan, he meant sanjay dutt in DAUD"....(yaarukku yaaru annan......u should have looked at his actual bro...sambandhame illa)....anyways, we dint want to dissapoint him. The gang was all set. Kadhir, jackie, kaushik, balaraman, bharath, eeyan and ram.......
We entered the humungous theatre well known to chennai as a "Jothi, bit theatre". Its name is derived from the small "bit" clips of nude fat women and grotesque men twisting each others monkey tits and rubbing the butt occasionally, sometimes also kissing the knee (i never knew how people can watch this horror show). However, the chennai crowd always welcomes a free "bit" and the theatre was a big hit in the low class crowds. DAUD was released in jothi too....We never knew why ,maybe because the theatre owners saw some semi nude pictures of urmila and thought it was sex movie......whatever the case, it was there and it was housefull.
As usual we knew we had to make efforts to get tickets, so we were looking out for black ticket sellers. The black ticket sellers were marked with a difference. Some of the traits to look for, they always wore the collar up, they had a wet hankey hanging somewhere, they spit thrice every 2 seconds and they are always sweating (as can be seen from their shirt). Eeyan and I were browsing the crowd with shrewed eyes when we locked in on a person. His back was facing us and all qualities matched, we knew we had found the guy. Slowly we approached him and every step made us more and more sure on our hit rate. When we stepped in to see this guy's face we were astonished...it was a shock....it was dear Ram.....with his cohllar up and spitting "pan parag" and clumsily holding a cig in his hand. Iyan and I exchanged looks and laughed aloud making ram wonder.
By that time our marked salesman kaushik had already got the tickets. Kaushik would let go of anything in life for watching sex movies. He was an addict, but this time around his views coincided with the theatre owner. He too thought it was a sex movie. But he got the tickets anyways from a man, who was very much similar to whom we had spotted...:)
Now, we wanted some fuel before we went in for the movie. It was a hot day and dusty too with crowds pouring in to show what "jothi theatre" has to offer them. We spotted a nearby wine shop and decided to take a "cutting". A cutting in star terms was a 90 ml of corrupt and duplicate liquor. The water packets should be used as a medium for mixing the drink (no stirrers) and then one gulp. This was a process and it was relegiously followed by each one of us. But after the liquor was in, each exhibited a different style. Eeyan for one would have his eyes (like vijayakanth in vaidhegi kaathirundhal) and rub his finger over the lips. Bharath on the other hand would smell the hair of the guy next to him (whether he knows him or not). The very fact of seeing ram gulp was a sooper scene (guys...do you remember)......
So, we all bought the drink of our choice. The seasoned drunks were kadir, me, bharath and eeyan. So, we all had a old monk quater each. Ballu was just swinging his initial drinking spree (i will write a seperate blog for this) but wanted to expand his limit. I protested saying "ballu, nee first oru cutting adi, apparom innoonu vaangu", and he responded saying "enakku evalo kudikanam, evalo kudikka kudaadhu nu theiryum, nee moodu". So, without a choice we fed ballu with a quater. We all had our drinks quickly and rushed to the theatre.
We were all sweating and smelling of old monk + cig + mixture + oorga, man for some time even the theatre toilet was smelling better :). The movie started and bharath was shocked. "Ennada ellarum hindi la pesaraanga......" poor fellow thought it was an english movie and ram had already spit some thing on the floor and formed a nice wet smelling patch. Eeyan had no clue and neither did kaushik and me but we tried to focus urmila's boobs. Kadir was busy watching his brother in action and you should see the smile on his face. He really thought he was sanjay dutt. Poor fellow, all we could do was hear it for him. But, all thru our man balaraman was quitely resting his face on the front chair.
With a sudden bang came the song "DAUD HAI....DAUD HAI...." and the next minute we could see 2 people running. ONe was sanjay dutt in the movie and the next was ballu in the theatre. We all thought we are dreaming. Then the third one followed kaushik. Confused, we walked down to the bathroom. We could see ballu puking with a loud noise and kaushik was holding him. Without reaction we came back. This was very common to us. Ballu came back and sat down. After some time the song began again "DAUD HAI....DAUD HAI...." and ballu was back in action. In total we figured out finally that ballu had a pretty decent role to play in the movie. He finished with 5 times (5 times the song appears in the movie) and was dehydrated.
We dint want to go home but we forced ourself to go and freshen up and get ready for the evening. We all assmbled evening in PARK wines nungambakkam for saminathan's treat for going to US. The modd was getting dull because of the busy afternoon. We were all wishing him good luck, when bharath chose to be a little different. He said "saaminathaaaa...US poriya...seri...seri....nalla enjoy pannu.....BON JOVI". Poor bharathwaj actually meant "BON VOYAGE".....we all started laughing aloud and it still remains bharaths ever green comedy. Ball was back with "voboodhi" and drank pepsi. He had tasted the bitterness of hangover yet again. We all finished up and decided to go to the beach.
Meantime, somethings were happening in the back ground. Hari had joined the party too. And all of you know that hari's father was a more shrewd than a CBI agent. He was always on the prowl looking for his sons whereabouts and trying to spy on his activities. He and the bajaj scooter were inseperable. By the time we were having dinner he had already made some 15 calls to my house asking for hari. He was well aquainted with my grandmom, after the 6th call and then knew my mom as well by the 15th call. His opinion was clear, if he is not seeing his son by 11, he's gonna call the police saying that his son was missing. We really wished he was missing but never materialized :)
After dropping hari and ram, i was back home when i saw hari's dad waiting on the scooter on my gate. More like a watchman. He asked "yanpa...ungalukku than responsibility illa, harikku irukku paa....please avana unga set'lendhu cut pannidunga..." i wanted to laugh aloud but controlled myself. I said "its fine uncle, i have dropped him home"....he said "yennatha fine'o" and in a flash he was gone like a bird......
I was begining to notice something weird on my terrace walls. It was monkey i though, but i had never seen one before. Thinking it was the drinks doing some tricks and getting some scoldings from my mom, i went upstairs to check it out. I still saw the figure and it was making some awkward noise. It was too big for a monkey though. It reminded me of the 3 monkeys (kettadhai paarkaadhe, kettadhai pesaadhe and kettadhai kekaadhe). When i took a closer look, it was eeyan. Fucker was sitting on the terrace wall in the monkey posture like the 4th monkey (vaandhi edukkadhe) and facing the road and puking. Man, it was scene. We dint have digital cameras then, else it would have made a great wall paper.
After that we went to sleep....realising that an eventfull star day has ended....It was a fast day which ran off so quickly....its just "DAUD HAI....DAUD HAI..."

jackie,
it was fun reading all this man. Anyways onething you let it slip was that while we were returning from Elliots there was a police check post near the madhiya kailash. At that time lawyer was driving Hari's speedo (or in suchi's words his F-16). Police stopped every bike/scooter and when pressed to show their license, lawyer asks hari for his license...Hari paid Rs.50 as a token of appreciation and you know how he felt about that since then. boys hari's trip to my place and suchi's trip to Hari's villa is something that needs to be written.
welcome jingli....maybe you should throw some light on the old matters in US....:)
