JINNI (I didn't hate it)

There I was on the first night of February on my way to watch a dhivehi film for the very first time on big screen(and secretly telling myself this would be the very last time). I just wanted to share a few laughs with Rynu and co and honestly i didn't think i'd make it past the break. The horror flick was supposed to be, believe it or not 3 whole hours long. 2 hrs of action and 1 hr of songs so what'd you expect me to think. Fathaah the director never fails to amuse me with his ever evolving head of hair. Just two months back it was silky smooth and now its like a bleached dry mop thats been left in the sun for two long. Just when i was about to reach the fourth step on Olympus(not to be confused with Mount Olympus) lo and behold there he was the director, editor and producer of the movie "Mashoor director Fathaah". When you read this story you have to remember that the Maldivian film industry is still in the 1800's. Back in those days you'd find struggling directors waiting outside the theaters to see if everything is in order. I'm guessing he was the only one who had the golden copy of the newly released movie and he didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands(you can never be to careful, good thinkin there). Fathaah had shiny drops of excitement on his face(better than gross man sweat) was walking out so fast probably to elude the wild paprazzi outside(Yes MR. QT you've got competition near the equator).The sight of him made me want to go into the cinema and find out just how much he had managed to violate himself. So there I was sitting in an unbelievably uncomfortable chair sweating bullets cos i had worn a long sleeved top. I had completely over looked the fact that Olympus just like the movie industry was from the 1800's therefore no air conditioning. And then the Bell rang trrrrrrrrrrrr.

The sound was horrible first bad point noted. How could the sound be any good at a theater from the dark ages. Oh yes and so began the movie.........first a lot of crying which made me wanna get up and leave but as it went on...............I never thought I'd say this but Seexan is a seasoned actor now, Amira if that is her name is not bad either and the rest of course leaving Afeefa were not half bad. in fact some of em were very bare able. Afeefa!! if i had any credibility in the movie industry i would tell you to stick to the back ground scenes, preferably as a tree. Seeing as no amount of make up or costumes seem to make you look like a star. I am not being mean but i have to critical of actors cos you guys are just so in the face. Overall i would give the movie 6/10 and i might even consider going to a dhivehi movie again someday...maybe next year!Or maybe right after they install air conditioners.
