For some, it might be difficult to choose between Trisha’s Jessie and Jaanu, but this is a topic for another time. This film we’re referring to came at a time when we did not mind, in fact enjoyed, listening to the protagonists’s 'mind voice' - “Jessie… idhan Jessie, avlo azhagu, classy, padichava., well read, ava kita oru style iruku, and sexy too…”.

Despite the gems we have seen in 2012, there’s always going to be a lineup of duds that let you down and unintentionally make you laugh. 2012 rolled out the big masala films and introduced a great bunch of well-written and thoughtful films. So it’s time to scrape through dreck and remind ourselves of films that were better left unwatched and tossed out and that too for the right reasons! From egregious dubbing voices for debutantes, to more ridiculous dance moves from Salman and Ajay Devgn, the Razzies this year remind us that there’s always the good, the dreadful, and the awful.

Ekk Deewana Tha
Stars: Prateik, Amy Jackson, Manu Rishi, Sachin Khedekar | Written and Directed by: Gautham Menon
Remakes don’t necessarily have to be a bad thing; some can be good, or at least have a point to them. Unfortunately Ekk Deewana Tha, Gautham Menon’s remake of his own hit Tamil film, is not a film that serves any purpose.
Sachin (Prateik) studied mechanical engineering, but decides he wants to be a filmmaker, and so much to the dislike of his father, sets out to start a career as a director. One day he meets Jessie (Amy Jackson) and immediately falls in love with her, bordering on an obsessive extent. The problem is he is a Hindu, and she’s an orthodox Malayali Christian, and her family would never accept him or his career in films.

Love is the most simple and also the most complicated emotion. Complicated further by people and society. Which is why the simple boy-girl-meet-fall-in-love premise has been able to offer so many storylines to abundant moviemakers. Where there is romance, there will be those clichés, but it’s the way these are twisted, decorated, wrapped and presented to the audience that makes the whole difference. Gautham Menon has been known to effectively portray complex human emotions and reactions and has given us some beautiful love stories in his movies no matter what genre: Minnale/Rehna Hai Tere Dil Main, Kaakha Kaakha, Vaaranam Aayiram. Having portrayed twice earlier, Gautham brings to you again the story of Karthik-Jessie from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa –aka Vv- (Tamil) and Ye Maaya Chesave (Telugu) to the north

For the Hindi remake of his hit Tamil film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, titled Ekk Deewana Tha, director Gautham Menon said he wanted fresh young faces to play the lead romantic roles and he could think of no one better to play Saachin than Prateik. For his part, Prateik says that when he saw the Tamil original he absolutely loved the story and was excited to take on the role and make it his own. Ekk Deewana Tha, is a musical romance and from what we hear much of the story was formed around the songs. Those songs were composed by none other than the master of music Ar Rahman with lyrics by the esteemed Javed Akhtar. According to the tagline: “It is a perfect romance…more or less.” Ekk Deewana Tha follows the story of Prateik’s Saachin, who falls in love with Amy Jackson’s Jessie but as in all filmi romances there are obstacles.

Gautham Menon, the director of this week’s new release Ekk Deewana Tha spoke to our London reporter Sunny Malik about the film which is a remake of his blockbuster Tamil movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. The film was also remade into Telugu as Ye Maaya Chesave in 2010.
Gautham has directed numerous Tamil and Telegu films but the last Hindi film he directed was the 2001 release Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein.
Ekk Deewana Tha starring British sensation Amy Jackson and Prateik Babbar is Menon’s second Hindi directorial venture and is termed a ‘musical’ with an original soundtrack composed by A.R. Rahman.
Can you tell me a little bit about the film ‘Ekk Deewana Tha’?
I would not call it a different love story, but it’s a real love story. It’s a love story people normally identify with and have seen in their own lives. It’s also musical, the way it has been treated.

Gautam Menon’s bilingual (Tamil/Telugu) masterpiece Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (Vtv) and Yeh Maaya Chesave (Ymc) is finally being re-made in Hindi as Ekk Deewana Tha with Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson as the leads. The music of Vtv/Ymc, composed by A R Rahman, was given as epic a status if not more than the movie. So it was not a surprise when it was heard that Rahman would be re-making the same songs in Hindi with lyrics penned by none other than Javed Akhtar.
Edt has 12 tracks and features the vocal talents of Clinton Cerejo (‘Kya Karoon’ – Wake Up Sid), Shreya Ghosa (‘Chikni Chameli’ – Agneepath), Javed Ali (‘Guzarish’ – Ghajini), Naresh Iyer (‘Robaroo’ – Rang De Basanti) and Rahman himself amongst others.
Ekk Deewana Tha hits cinemas 17 Febuary 2012.
Kya Hai Mohabbat is the only track in the album that cannot be found in the soundtrack of Vtv/Ymc, so naturally its first on the list.
