Sunday, January 25, 2009  Bommarillu--My Own Little DDLJ  This
film is my Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.  When I first saw DDLJ,
I didn't get what all the fuss was about. But then I dug deeper
and learned just why it's adored by so many. Although the movie
has grown on me considerably, I think I still enjoy hearing
about DDLJ and its success more than I do actually sitting down
and watching it. Its just so awesome when you consider the film
in its entire context, because it really was a turning point in
Indian cinema. Bear with me--there's a reason why I bring all of
this up!  You see, although I didn't have that initial
experience with DDLJ, I grew to appreciate and understand it.
So, when I saw this cute little Telugu film starring Siddarth
and Genelia, and had my own touching moment with Bommarillu, I
got soooo excited...Was this what others felt like when they
first saw DDLJ?  Why compare the two? Well, in some ways they're
glaringly similar; Both films share the same family values (yet
