The movie I am talking about, titled 'Lovers' is one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. The first and second halves of the movie are 'totally different', in the sense you dont see any character of the first half (except Madhavan) in the second. It looks to me as if the producer had only just sufficient money to make a half of the movie. For the other half? They have conveniently lifted scenes from 'Rehna hai terre Dil mein', which is nothing but the Hindi version of 'Minnale'. Sick-totally..
So, you get a 'normal' tamil movie in the first half, with all tamil actors and matching lip-movement.. In the second, since being dubbed and full of Hindi actors, the lip-movement mismatch is irritating. What made me amazed was that, they have even managed to 'twist' the songs of RHTDM (including Zara zara..i.e., 'Vaseekara') to fit to some new tunes.
Moral of the post: Stay away from this movie.. unless you want to get the 'unique' movie-watching experience.
Happy Holidays, everyone !!!

ippo me interested in watching this movie, seriously, seems very interesting especially the first half
i actually think you could very well have seen a combo of dum dum dum and RHTDM.may be this is a pirated cd and the two movies have been merged.
yeah, i heard about this movie, although I have not seen it, but heh,is it even a movie, or sometimes the indain grocery store just takes movies, merges them together and calls it a movie.
hehe... heard about this movie.. downloaded from a forum.. first half pathi thaan paathaen.. sama torture... nalla velai.. second half pakala naan...
Poor u :)
Vatsan, adhaan therinje kinathukkulley vizhura maadhiri.. First half is just OK..

Paurna, no.. it is not 'Dum Dum Dum'. The story involves a Civil Engineer from Thyagaraja College, Madurai (Madhavan) who comes to Chennai and works as a sales-rep. He helps Nasser, a millionaire in trouble and gets himself into some unexpected trouble. He decides to take revenge and kidnaps someone. Then, all of a sudden, the movie shifts base to Mumbai and we get to see all the trademark scenes of Minnale, such as 'The most beautiful place in Mumbai', dancing in rain, etc.. It was amusing to me how someone can blatantly do such a thing just to come up with a 2 1/2 hour movie. Nevertheless, it was very funny the way the director or whoever twisted the scenes of that movie to 'somewhat' fit in here.

Nitin, u better dont watch. It is not cooked up by some XYZ.. the songs in second half are new songs, probably meant for the original 'Lovers', composed by Harris Jayaraj and Ranjit Berot. Then, the director/producer has stolen/used song sequences from RHTDM to fit to the new songs. And, tamil dubbing too.. Very funny..

Wonder who made this movie..Looks like a remix to me.

Raju: Have you seen pulpfiction or kill bill in its original form?. Amores perros is also similar. They are all non-linear.

Narayanan, thanks, Narayanan. Good to see u after long time.
mm.. interesting movie in a different sense, this was. The producer/director are new.. whatever happened, the producer must have run out of money to make the movie further..
------------------------
Vis, ippadiyum oru movie.. :-)
-------------------------------------
Deepak, mm.. saw them all (QT's movies) in the last 50 days or so. I got u... if they are non-linear, 'Lovers' has two parallel stories.. :-)
I came across this ost adn found the correct details:
1st half
An unfinshed film called 'Acham Thavir' (Fear Not) directed by a debutat called Sivakumar.
Cast included Maddy, Jyothika, Shobana, Nassar, Prakash Raj, Pratap Pothan, Charlie etc.
The second half was the remake of Vaseegara, 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein' featuring Diya Mirza.
So basically, the producers to make money randomly remixed the two films and released it. So Jyo and Maddy have no idea about the release. IT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL FILM.
any queries mail me at prin92@hotmail.co.uk
I read really much worthwhile data in this post!
