Siddhartha.............

of course not...............not that Siddhartha.............!
he is the present day , or what to say modern version of Siddhartha........the only similarity in between them is that both are equally cool.......!........in their own way I guess.......

.................he is the one of the finest actors in Telugu film industry......may be even in Hindi film industry also........ His name is Siddhartha........

.....ohh...yeh......enough of introduction..........

now the reason.......of me being a Bengali.......feeding on Hindi films........how m I interested in Telugu stars..........esp when I know Telugu as good as Shakespeare knows bengali........!

but reason has.......dear friend...........it has.....

.......during my stay in hyderabad......I had to suffer but to listen to the unknown language of the south.........

.......surprisingly ........one fine day I realized that I was humming a telegu song.......pretty strange.....you see.....humming a song without knowing the words or the meaning .....is not a simple thing......and I figured out that it has to be a great one........as I couldnt help but to sing the whole day in that strange language......

when I querried about it.........it did turned out to be a telegu song of a recent film...in which.......yes of course.......Siddhartha is the hero......and the moment I saw the trailor of it ........I knew that I have to watch it........theres no other way out........

.......and I did......I went to the movie theater......yes.....bought the ticket......and saw the movie......

...........while watching I realized that you dont need to know the language to appreciate a good movie......or to enjoy its story......

......and ......believe me......at the end I could understand the story.......even could guess what the performers were saying as well....... pretty amazing if you ask me........!

..........so the moral of the whole story is that acting is not about language......it has a language of its own.......and anybody can read it if they want to.......thats the beauty of acting....... were action speal louder than the words and the unspoken words have a greater impact than its uttered counterpart.........only music has that ability..........I guess........

so hats off to that person ........who dragged a non-telegu person to a movie hall by the sheer splendor of its story line and superb acting........

and.......what more great tribute can one pay to an actor than to accept that I went to a movie to see his acting.......and only his acting.........
