Slow Track

Assal Aaayi........

Friends,

I had the absolute delight of watching a sick Malayalam flick titled 'Speed Track' on my way back to Kerala from Bangalore.

The sight of an evidently obese Dilip donning the role of an athlete competing in multiple categories including high jump kept me entertained all through the movie. The rest of the cast mainly involves ludicrous characters in a college which is supposed to be crazy about games and athletics. The stand-out character among these is of course the outright manipulative villain who makes us wonder if he came in straight out of an Ekta Kapoor serial and swapped genders.

The less said about the heroine and her antics, the better. But the songs deserve a special mention, especially the one at the begining where our leading pair enters in a mock fight by calling each other names. The song begins with the rambling "ko ko ko kozhi....". Tune your ears to it to feel the pain.
