It is after intense thought that am writing this post. I just unearthed a priceless piece of general knowledge. Or even wisdom, you may call it. And simply having it in my head is painful. I want to get it out.

(Ok, very seriously, this post has infinite direct allusions to a very popular and fulfilling Tamil swear word. If you are the kind who winces on hearing such words, you might have a seizure before you finish reading this post. Don't blame me later!)
Pollaadhavan is an amazing movie. I loved it when I watched it the first time. And the next few times as well. Maybe, going without expectations helped a lot. The movie gave me newfound respect for Dhanush and Vetrimaran.
Now the piece of wisdom I was speaking about is this: Pollaadhavan has been remade in Kannada. And the name of the movie is...
Adha naan epdi en kayyaale type pannuven! You go and find it out here yourself.
Shell shocked, I asked my Kandu friend here what the word meant (in Kannada). He said it's like naughty / mischievous / notorious guy.
Now am just wondering how the following dialogues will sound to a Tamilian when watching the movie (dialogs are written in Tamil for greater understanding, and fun):
***** = Name of the movie

Villain: Daiiiiiiii.. Yaarraaa neeeee???
Hero: Indha oor la chinna kozhandhaya kaettaalum sollum. Naan than da *****.
(Devi Sri Prasad Background music: dish dish dash dish.. ***** ***** *****... He's the one and only *****)

Hero: Hey darling.. Let's do the yo yo!!
Heroine: Cheee.. Naughty boy..
PMK Ramdas: Aeiiii.. Tamil la vasanam sollunga.. Illa na unga veettukku vandhu maram vettiruven..
Hero: Aamam saar.. Gardener rendu vaarama varala.. Pullu romba moLachuruchu.. Konjam clean panni kudunga please..
PMK Ramdas: Chellaadhu Chellaadhu.. Theerpa maatha maaten..
Hero: Ada evan da ivan.. Seri darling.. You repeat dialog in tamil..
Heroine: Cheee.. ***** payale
Sandiyar-fame Krishnasamy: Ketta vaarthai!! Dialog maathunga.. Padam paeru maathunga.. Neenga laam bad-word kalaachaaram ookuvikkureenga
Hero: Yov.. Ookkum vikkala, pencil-um vikkala.. Poi pozhappa paarungayya!

Doctor: My God! Ivlo bleeding varudhu.. Neenga ivara open la vechurukeenga.. *****-ya mooditu ponga modhalle

Climax Scene, again at hospital. Hero's wife gives birth to a boy. The whole family is happy and start discussing names for the kid. Hero finalizes the name:
Hero: Shuuuu.. No more discussions.. Ivan ennoda payyan.. So ivan paeru **** mavan
And the legacy continues...

@Shaanthi..
Mom.. You had enough hints at the beginning of the post that urged you to stop reading.. And still you read it.. you never listen!
And the Karnataka Film Chamber actually prevented screening of Ravan/Raavanan ( the chamber considered both movies as the same) in more than 24 screens so that this Kannada movie gets more audience!
@Anon..
Oh.. thats news.. that makes it all the more funny :D
There are a few other words in Kannada that might make us laugh/shocked depending on if you are like you or you are like Chandrahaasan in Thalapathi. Will tell them later :D Btw, may be there are Tamil words that are "baaaad" in other languages.. he he
