Tony was in the middle of the investigation of the murder of a fellow policeman and the political and press pressure is intense for the case to be solved. Tony has lost all his memory, and this fellow cop friend and the doctor are the only people who know that. The next scene has a bewildered scarred Tony in a car with Farhan who tells Tony he is his best friend. Suddenly a refrigerator falls off a truck in front of him, and he swerves and the jeep rolls over. He is speaking into a phone saying, “I have found the culprit.” in Malayalam and then repeats it in English. In the opening scene, Tony (Prithviraj) is driving down an empty street at night in his police jeep. Essentially, he’s almost playing a double role. I had been impressed by his body of work, but nothing prepared me for his incredible performance in Mumbai Police. He was very solid also in the romantic drama Ennu Ninte Moideen. Then I saw Classmates as I was told how influential it is in modern Malayalam cinema. I had seen Prithviraj in a stellar if unflashy supporting role in the Hindi film Aurangzeb, also as a cop. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the amazing performance of Prithviraj in the Malayalam crime mystery drama Mumbai Police. Rani in her fantasies in Aiyyaa reminded me a bit of Amelie, that magical realism French film: I loved the romance bits of this film so much I have rewatched it already, but I fast-forwarded through all the family scenes and the Maina bits. It was just so uneven lurching between the extreme awful comedy and then the swooniness of the romance. If this film instead had had the comedic tone of something like Dum Laga Ke Haisha it would have been perfect.

You know it’s bad when Johnny Lever would have brought subtlety to this film. The writer-director was going for zany, and he veered too far on the wacky spectrum. She’s not only un-funny, she’s just blatantly offensive. The very worst character is her co-worker Maina, who has big buck teeth and comes to work with vodka in a bear shaped water bottle. In the first half, it’s not so bad, but her brother character especially in the second half just goes off into crazyland. Rani’s family is at first amusingly eccentric. It’s sublime.īut unfortunately, Prithviraj, Subodh and Rani aren’t the only people in the film. Finally she discovers the source of his intoxicating scent, and they connect.

On the day of her engagement, she escapes the house and follows Surya. I wouldn’t have minded if Surya had just been a fantasy and she ended up with the nice average Maadhav ( Subodh Bhave). While shopping for wedding saris, she has the lustful Aga Bai fantasy song from the top of the review. He’s kind and sweet, but he just doesn’t float her boat like Surya – who seemingly doesn’t even know she exists. One very nice average guy she reluctantly agrees to see again. Rani’s eccentric family have placed a matrimonial ad and she grits her teeth through meetings with several suitors. Having seen several South Indian films, I felt like I was in on the joke. Prithviraj’s having his own fun spoofing regional song sequences. They rhyme humping and thumping, and he bobs his head following her waist gyrations.

He just has this crazy grin through the whole song. What I absolutely love about this song sequence is that I’ve never before seen Prithviraj so silly, and you can just see him going for it with gusto. Rani dreams she’s in a Southern Masala film, and we get this insane number that made me just laugh in delight:Īs Prithviraj said in an interview - it’s Bollywood’s crazy view of Southern films.

“How do I say I like dark skin people, not fair skin?” The chaiwallah recommends she watch the Tamil Midnight Masala TV channel. She knows he speaks Tamil to the chaiwallah boy, who she bribes to teach her to speak Tamil. She finds him sleeping in doorways and hallways. He barely ever speaks to Rani, and is very mysterious and standoffish. He always has red eyes so the rumor is that he’s on drugs or spends all his nights drinking. (The director Sachin Kundalkar, had done a previous Marathi film about the senses.) She asks around to learn more about her crush Surya. She is struck speechless by the appearance of art student Surya, and is entranced by his smell. Her parents want to arrange her marriage, but first she gets a job at the local art college. She imagines herself at the beginning as Madhuri, Juhi and Sridevi. Rani is Menaskshi, a young woman who loves zany Bollywood films, the more over the top the better. (He made Aurangzeb around the same time.) The film was produced by Anurag Kashyap and was directed by Sachin Kundalkar. But I hadn’t seen him like this:Īiyyaa means Oh, My! Aiyyaa was a comeback film for Rani, but was Prithviraj’s Bollywood Debut. I have only seen a few Prithviraj films, and my impression was of a very good serious actor in Ennu Ninte Moideen, Classmates and Mumbai Police or even Aurangzeb.
