Bommarillu

I don't always have much use for "cute," as it often dribbles over into "cutesy," but this movie had almost the perfect amount of cute. Siddharth won my mind and sympathy in _Rang De Basanti_, one of the best movies ever made by anyone, anywhere. Here he made me giggle and relive the giddiness of new affection.

It took me a little while to warm up to Genelia D'Souza, but her character was so flawlessly, honestly bubbly that her enthusiasm became contagious.

The movie includes a plea for honoring traditions and taking them into account while also allowing for change. It urges balance and moderation on everyone's part.

My high school students read _Romeo and Juliet_. This year, I plan to show a brief clip of _Bommarillu_ to show the widespread knowledge of those characters and to make the point that arranged marriages are neither a thing of the past nor a way for parents to punish the young adults in their lives.

I'm glad I bought this movie (an original copy---no bootlegs for me!); I will watch it frequently.

Bommarillu (House of Toys) is the story of a young man (portrayed fantastically by Siddharth) who lives with his parents and faces an identity crisis as his overly protective father takes care of everything for him. When all the little details of his life are taken care of, he has nothing but a sense of emptiness left in him.

When he meets this happy go-lucky girl (played to perfection by Genelia D'Souza) who does anything and everything she wishes without constraints, he gets inspired and loves her dearly. He comes to terms with his own life and the things he misses, mostly his individuality. The rest of the story is how he convinces his family, especially his father about his state d'affaire and wins her over.

The casting has been excellent. Siddharth, Genelia, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Srinivasarao Kota suit well for their respective roles, especially in the scenes that require strong emotions. These scenes have been presented in a good manner. The music of the movie is a great asset.

On the whole, the movie is not just your average romantic comedy, but a pleasing mixture of human emotions, drama and romance.

9/10

i have no hesitation at all to rate 10 out of 10 for this blockbuster...i don't remember exactly how many times i have seen the last episode of the movie, where the emotional discussion between hero and his dad rocks....i have never expected he can do that well!! and no doubt, the entire credit goes to the director for not only being able to choose the right actors for each and every character, but also for being able 2 extract that marvelous talent 4m all d cast....hero's father is an evergreen actor, who delivers an ultimate performance...hero's mother and the cook r fit in2 those roles and coming 2 d major asset of the movie, its the heroine....u can notice a perfect professional actress in this movie...i have never ever seen her in such a role...this is a sort of dream offer 2 any actress in d industry....another major asset of the movie is music...he is one among d very few trustworthy music directors 2day in the film industry...even the taking n presentation of d songs is adequate this would be standing one among my all time favorite movies 4ever...n ever

A very beautiful story with a lots of comedy. I went for the movie just to kill some time. But what I got was a nostalgic happiness.

The movie is basically a simple story of a over protective rich father and a modern day son who wants to be happy with self-dependence. When son wants a simple T-shirt, the father gives him a Louis Philippe shirt. In the course the son looses his individuality.

This is a very emotional movie, but never lost its pace because of the sublime comedy. Siddharth's acting was excellent. Prakash Raj was good in the role of the father. Frankly speaking, I hated the acting of Genelia. The dubbing for her was the worst.

I truly enjoyed this movie.
