This
might be a bit out of line from what you have
seen on the site till now. But exceptional efforts
call for exceptional circumstances and exceptions
have to be made to accommodate things that we
feel you should not be missing out on. That cinema
has no barriers of language is a fact that many
of us are not aware of until we come across movies

that
appeal to us in spite of the words being spoken on screen
being alien to us, most of us don’t get that opportunity
and that way miss out on some exquisite piece of art unless
someone decides to remake it in a language that we are comfortable
with. Imagine, Chandramukhi came almost 12 years after that
story was first realized on screen in Malayalam. 12 years
is a lot of time but we must be thankful that it came, better
late than never. This one is being written so that many of
you don’t miss out on reliving the most ‘Happy
Days’ of your life, that trip of nostalgia that we don’t
get tired of no matter how many times we take it. This is
about the most ‘Happy Days’ of our lives. This
is about happy Days, the movie. |

Many
of you would have heard about this movie, maybe even
know that this is by now a huge hit. But most of you
unaware of the goings on in Tollywood (Telugu filmdom)
might not have even heard of such a movie. Well, that’s
why we are here, to tell you that Happy Days is here.
It is a Telugu film but talks a universal language,
a language that is alien to none, the language of
friendship set in the campus, where all of us lived
out the most colorful period of our lives. It takes
us back to those days, the days of making friends,
getting ragged, learning to stand up for ourselves,
flirting, dating and of course, learning, studying
and passing. It takes us back to those days when we
lived like a family with people whom we had not even
known before, people who converged at one place with
hopes of making it big in life.

The
most endearing aspect of the movie is the simplicity
with which it has been shot, the refreshingly natural
treatment to a subject that could have easily been
spiced up like in any other movie. ‘Happy Days’
stands apart because it has chosen to look from the
perspective of a student, just like all of us once
were. It sees all the sarcastic points about professors
that we once saw as students, it looks at all the
things that we looked forward to as students like
intervals and the culturals. It also shows rightly
that while we may have had quite a few fights and
sour incidents in our years at college, when we come
out we are all friends, we remain united. The movie
also shows about how we learnt to accept and put up
with differences in life and that no two persons are
the same and friendship is not about accepting differences
and not trying to change the person who is your friend.
It also shows how stupid we were to make mountains
out of molehills with small arguments that could have
been settled with just a smile.
The movie begins with a bunch of youngsters, total
strangers to each other entering an engineering college
and finishes with their

last day in college. Happy Days shows the bonds of love and
friendship forged in those four intervening years. It shows,
amazingly well, how the bonds that we forged mostly unintentionally
will remain strong for as long as we live. ‘Happy Days’
is about pure 24 carat friendship and 100% fun. Watch it for
the love of your days at college, to relive those years that
will never be yours again and for those still in your Happy
Days, this movie will help you realize the value of what you
are having right now. Now with Prakash Raj having acquired
the remake rights of this movie we are in for a treat. As
said before, cinema has no language, at least friendship has
no language and this one is about the universal language that
is friendship. |
