Thanmathra (molecule in Malayalam)

Some movies make you cry. Or there will be those heart wrenching scenes in a few movies that will stay on with you as one of the most cry-able moments. Or there will be those times when you simply want to cry- running away from the hurts/worries/problems that haunt you, so you watch such movies and cry even more. Under the pretext of watching such moving scenes, you cry your heart out.

Some of the scenes (I still remember them!) that made me cry have been:
1. Kamal Hassan parting from Sridevi in the climax (Movie - Sadma)
2. Kamal Hassan having high hopes that Rupini will marry her, and that's why she is calling him to court. Kamal discovers that he is to be the witness to her marriage with somebody else. (Movie - Appu Raja)
3. Naseerudding Shah and Ravi Vaswani singing 'Hum Honge Kamyaab' in the climax (Movie - Jaane bhi do Yaro)
4. Karna's death in Mahabharat (Serial - Mahabharat)
5. Mammootty's speech about his childhood friend Sreenivasan (Movie - Katha Parayumpol)
6. Mohan Lal as an alzhiemers patient towards the climactic scenes (Movie - Thanmathra)

Yes, that's the latest movie that I had watched, and found myself in tears. Though I know there were a lot of reasons for me to be sad about, I was lucky that I got myself a pretext (of this movie) for me to cry then. Superb performances by Mohan Lal and Arjun Lal. The story is not very unpredictable, but the performances are simply out of this world.
