MY EXPERIENCES WITH AASHIK ABU

When I say, I love Aashik abu, many of my friends used to laugh. I don’t say Aashikka is the best director Malayalam Film Industry ever witnessed. But I simply say I love Aashik Abu.

I don’t believe in good and bad movies. It’s all about the way we perceive it and varies from person to person. While watching some movies, we feel as if we are running through our life and while watching some others, we feel as if this is a cooked up story and never happen in life. But there might be people around us who can see their lives in that movie.  

For me, Aashikka’s movies are always dear most. As some of them answered my confusions and some others made me so happy. I am a purely emotional soul who is swayed by each and every touch. The impact movies create on me is immense.

Last year of graduation at Mar Ivanios was a deadly year for me. Home sickness and love irritated me like hell and I used to crawl and cry on my pillow for sleep. Nothing excited me. Nothing made me happy. And I heard of Daddy Cool. As usual went to watch from Trivandrum. Even without a message or a strong theme, a movie can be made beautifully watchable. I loved it. A colorful, trendy, humorous and light hearted package. When I enquired more about the maker, I was really happy. His four year SFI life and political views made me curious. A long gap after the movie made me forget Aashik Abu and continue in my own world of happiness and freak out.

Post-graduation days were filled with inferiority complex and energy loss. I was so arrogant to friends and they just moved away. Salt n pepper came as a big bang. Simple and well-made movie. Being a graduate in video production, cinema was always in my dreams. The movie affected in three ways. I started writing themes and scripts. I started mingling a lot and moving around with friends. And finally watching the movie five times from theater and celebrating the two hours screaming, clapping and shouting made me energetic again.

All of life’s riddles are answered in movies. Yeah… Truly true. The most mysterious riddle of my life was that long aged love. It haunted me from my age 16 and I was exactly trapped. Even after realizing his fraud, I remained with him. The fear of society and the shame of admitting my fault made me stick on. Each and every moment was tough. He curbed my freedom, cramped my thoughts and narrowed my world. I ended up in a dilemma. I ended up in deep depression. 22 Female Kottayam, the best ever Aashikka movie affected me in a wonderful way. People might think this is childish. Still the timeline of my life reveals it. I have already admitted myself as the most vulnerable person in the world. So there is no need to doubt. I gained the courage to say GOOD BYE! I should thank Aashikka for that amazing and life changing decision of my 23 years.

Next is the crucial point, gynecologist certified me with a Poly cystic Ovarian syndrome. Something which shake every woman. I was under a shock. A big question mark upon my womanhood. I put on 10 kilos. I had to shave my beard if I need to get out of my room. I had to adjust my hair in such a way that my bald forehead is hidden. Those were the terror some days of my life. Again Aashikka came as a rescuer with “Da Thadiya”. I accepted the fact that I am a manly girl and I realized I should change some of my habits and fight my disease.

There is some connection between me and Aashikka. How can he answer all my queries with his movies?  On my birthday he married from a register office and after four months, I did the same. Please understand this is not influence. But it happened!!!

When gangster released, I was so excited but after the movie, i was shocked. I didn’t like the movie. When everyone said, my Aashikka is over, i remained silent waiting for another Aashikka magic. And the magician waved his wand! Yeah… Rani Padmini. It is a statement. A celebration of womanhood. And again a bit influential. Not only for me but also for every normal lady. I dont know how these guys behind screen manage to know woman so deeply. It is the dream of every woman. I think it’s time to spread wings and fly high!

Lemme end, I have many reasons to love and admire Aashik Abu !!!
