Several years ago, Prabhudeva starred in Alaudin, yet another in a string of forgettable movies. The name of the movie is etched in my mind for a very different reason. The movie’s trailer told you, “மணிசர்மா-வின் மாயாஜால இசையில்… அலாவுதீன்”. Oh, really? The music that played in the background was so inane it made one wonder how anyone could call it “magical”. In fact it was a stretch even to call it music.
As the famous Tamil philosopher Koundamani would say:
“மூணு வீலும், ஒரு தார்பாலினும் இருந்தா நீ owner-ஆ? படுவா, அப்படினா டாட்டா பிர்லா-வையெல்லாம் என்னடா சொல்லுவீங்க?”
The stupidity of the declaration in that trailer would have been forgotten right that moment, had it not been followed by another promo… unassuming, understated and haunting.
