AB is for Ayyar B

You may have already read my comments on Chandrakanta the novel (if you haven't, there's a not-so-subtle link in there). But still I believe, ironing out the "dated" parts, any movie or TV serial can be made very interesting if it remains loyal to the storyline (which the original TV serial did not).

Why did I bring this up? A new movie from Vidhu Vinod Chopra starring Big B is coming up. But I will reserve my judgement till I see it.

Because the movie is "inspired by Chandrakanta", and not based on it (the trailer confirms it, since the novel doesn't have any direct "wars", neither does it take place in english-speaking world).

Because the last movie from VVC with Big B is "Eklavya".

And then, there's the trailer:



I rest my case...
