Story - Ok
Direction - Tolerable
Overall - 2/5 - Watchable once
The movie starts alright with good amount of comedy that keeps the audience entertained. But somewhere down the middle one starts to realize that the Editor forgot his task and slept on the job and hence the movie still contains some scenes which should have definitely been removed. Watching the movie becomes a drudgery, post the interval and one needs to 'invest'(more appropriately 'waste') a good amount of energy to sit through the second half of the movie.
Tamanna is good , pretty looking and can act well too. Surya has done his part pretty decently too, The music sucks, actually borders over noise. Choreography is miserable and costumes defeat choreography in being miserable. But in spite of all this the above average story line, some decent acting, well interspersed comedy tracks and a bit of action make the movie worth watching once.

I am finally there - If you are reading this post on 4th April 2009 that should be the message on the count down timer in the right column. The MBA program in ISB is over, 1 year is gone, the graduation begins in another 17-18 hrs and by end of day today it would be curtains. Reminiscence is something I am not good at , it often leads to gripes, but such an important year cant go un-recollected
My biggest take away: The shift into management and a high paying job.
Although I cant claim to have gotten the biggest or most coveted or highest paying job on campus, In an year that has tortured most of my classmates placement wise, I am happy I got a job thats above average. I have only one explanation for how I managed this - God's grace.
My biggest regret : Not having made any friends.
I have always struggled at making friends, I am quick to start networking with people and quicker in dropping the network and moving on. I lose interest in people very fast and find it very difficult to listen to a boring competition, put up with something I dont agree, laugh at a non joke, etc perhaps i am autistic but whatever be the reason In my 21 yrs of education and 5 yrs of work experience I have managed to make only 8 friends.
The school has been a good experience for a few, many found their dream jobs, many got what they wanted out of it, many found their future life partners. But I am convinced at least 40% of the batch would agree with me when I say - something just doesnt add up about the ISB experience, something is lacking. Albeit we cant put our finger on a particular point, that point still exists.
Overall I am happy with the way things went. It was ok. But if I could go back in time would i choose ISB - definitely not. Why - all i can say is that something was just not right, something was missing, and one day before I leave the school I am still unsure whether its me or the school.
