Let me tell you that I walked out of movie with a bad stomach ache. I was laughing so much, all through the movie.

QGM is a stupid movie; stupid in the sense that there is nothing brainy in there. Right from the first shot the director shouts aloud at you, Guys this is a no brains movie, just sit and do your best to relax and enjoy the movie, it is meant for nothing else!

Yes, truly. The movie is nothing but a ninety seven minute hilarious journey. I am really amazed to see that a plot so stupid as that of QMG’s could be presented in so brilliant manner that you cannot help but appreciate this marvelous piece.

Now what made this movie brilliant? It is an assortment of various departments’ very well done work. Take for example the characterization, all the characters here are dramatic, in reality you don’t see them the way they appear on the screen. You know they all are fake, they all are dramatic; and I attribute this to sheer intelligence of director. He made sure that the audience would not relate to even a single character to their real life. All they could do is enjoy what the character is doing.

And what the characters did is indeed enjoyable; enjoyable not because you like it, but because they make you helpless in terms of how you react to the scenes. No matter what happens in the movie, whether the villain kills someone in cold blood, or kidnaps a few innocent people or the protagonist romances the lead lady or for anything that was shown on the screen, you have but one expression-to chuckle. Now that is what humor is, isn’t it?

And what made this humor? It is again the stupidity. I mean, you have people shooting at each other and the QGM is so quick that he could dodge the bullet, or may be a dozen bullets; if you think that there are some hundreds of Graphic Engineers working on this, you are mistaken. QGM just shoves himself off the direction of bullets; believe me you will have to see it to understand how hilarious it is.

Moreover, the humor is not due to the circumstances. There are no funny situations or goof ups. The scenes are otherwise normal and if it were not for the presentation, they would have seemed extremely boring. But somewhere, the director managed to pump in that humor. May be through the characterization, or may be it is crisp editing or a brilliant screenplay or may be the spoofs that were chosen. Well, I do not want to put much brain into review as such. All I can say is I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Guys do yourself a favor, if you are desperate for those laughs, go watch QGM, mind it!

Added later: The music is just mind blowing. It must be very innovative of the music director to pick up a few dialouges from the movie and make them into awesome numbers!! And the best part is when you read the english subtitles when the tamil language is used. Specially during the songs!!
