Disappointing weekend

Till this minute it has been a pretty disappointing weekend for me - to start off I had been to dasavatharam yesterday. With expectations running high, I was really looking forward to this so called magnum opus. At the end of the movie I must say I was a touch disappointed. The movie is definitely not bad, it is worth watching but it wasn't satisfactory for the hype that was created. I would give 3 stars for it simply for kamal's different body language, the effort behind the characters, dialogue delivery. The movie kicks off with amazing camera work and 12th century scenes was mind blowing. However, the story (as a one liner I thought it was a fabulous concept) lacked substance to it. The story could have been taken with 6 characters utmost. I wasn't really convinced with the 7ft / 8ft tall character, Japanese character, dark guy and bush.

I came back home to watch the finals of the tri-nation series and to add to my despair Pakistan beat India in the final. It was definitely heart breaking but come to think of it, it now seems like a habit for India - do well till the finals and come to lose it in the end. I must also say that I wasn't keenly following it purely cos Sachin wasn't a part of the series and 50 over game has indeed become boring to watch after the 20-20 IPL extravaganza.

Sunday today and I need to start packing my bags in less than 10 hours to get back to bore b'lore :-( I really cannot wait for the day to come when I get back to Chennai permanently.
