Dream world

Dreams for me are very interesting. My dreams seem to be more exciting and vivid than my real life. Some how I have not been able read Freud. I should just for the reason my dreams are so many and with lots of varieties. My belief is it just my intense thoughts modified. Sometimes my dreams surprise me making me feel like reading Freud. Not that I expect myself to believe in what he has researched, just for the fun of it.

I used to tell my friends about these and they ask about it when I used to meet them.

Best ones are wild chases like in movies, chasing on foot and also being chased. It is sometimes chasing the thieves. It used to be lots of fun sometimes there is rush of adrenaline. I do lot of innovative things, fight with people. It used to be often when I was younger, now this has reduced may be going with the thought process these days. It probably is my unfulfilled desire to have an adventure filled life.

Negative dreams

I can be sure I will dream of impending big thing on the next morning like traveling, some function, interviews it is mostly negatively like me missing the time, going late to interview. I wake up in-between and assure my self nothing has gone wrong. Well the worse thing is it continues sometimes in the same form or slightly different form. People normally say early morning dreams come true. Well lesser said the better. This probably is because of the stress I am under.

Irritating dreams:

About work and making reporting that I have to do next day or two about bosses asking me for report and me struggling for inputs. I have enough of people at work on top of it they haunt me during nights. Rarely do I get pleasant dreams of work place. Even if I get I probably forget. Reason same as above.

Surprising dreams:

I dream of people whom I could have seen once or twice not even have spoken them. I talk to them as though I have known them very well. I would not have even thought of them for years or months. This is one thing I am unable relate.

Pleasant dream:

Probably forgotten by the time I wake up. I think it is like my daily life nothing much to remember.

Other dreams:

I used have rare erotic dreams, BTW very few.

Sometimes I dream like I have gone to office, school, college partially dressed and I am embarrassed after a very long time. I have been dreaming often but the intervals are long.

I used to have dreams especially in afternoons, that my eyes are stuck and I could not open it. It used to be horrible, thankfully that stopped sometime back.

Mungaru Male

What made it such a big hit almost cult like status like Prema Loka, Jogi and OM? The very fact that so much discussion and blogging is happening means a bigger hit. Could not resist the temptation to put thoughts again.

It surely cant be just be with simple story, good camera work and good songs.

Trying to analylze what went right for the movie some thoughts.
Story
You start liking happy to go lucky Preetam. You want him to win over the maiden Sanjana Gandhi. The director makes us feel that he is going to win her hand and he does it in steps. Even though there is no suspense he builds up ours, preetam's and nandhini's expectations. Finally the twist in the tale.
Here everybody is good no real villian. Even the supposed to be villian who gets beaten up comes as good fella after all.
You start thinking everybody is right in their way even though they all become hurdles to the hero.
You start empathising with everyone and feel poor fellow had no option.

Photography
Big plus

Songs
Some very good lyrics, melodius tunes and slick camera work kunidu, ondeondu, anisuthide..

Actors
Did fresh faces make the difference? Not great faces, but competent acting

External factors
Could it also be external factors like rise in kannada pride because of Cauvery issue, which made people go and watch good movie?
No competion from other good kannada movies? Isnt this normal?
No competetion from other language movies which are good? I have no idea about this.

Does anybody have answer?
