Madhavan-Vidya: Kiss in the rain
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,January 15 2007]
Madhavan may be having a smallish role in mentor Mani RathnamÂs masterpiece ÂGuru but his efforts in losing volumes of weight is admirable. His man-to-boy look is refreshing. As an honest reporter he impresses one and all. But in a romantic aside he steals a few moments of rain to plant a full-on kiss on Vidya BalanÂs lips. That scene comes as a surprise as Balan isnÂt known to be open about letting his mouth being shut by someone else.
Vidya Balan plays a character which is challenged by Multiple Sclerosis. Her fate is resigned on a wheel chair. Madhavan gives her hope and reasons for her life to attain a semblance of fulfillment. The kiss has been handled sensitively by the camera angles. And the free-flowing rain near the touching distance of the sea gives the ambience a sober feeling.
Wonder if Vidya shall be offered more such kisses in her future films too?
