Mummy & Me Review

We happened to watch Mummy & Me film directed by Jeethu Joseph recently. Archana Kavi and Kunchako boban plays the lead role while Mukesh, Urvashi, Lalu Alex plays the supporting role with a guest role for Suresh Gopi. Sejo John have scored the music for the film.

The film revolves around a teenager Jewel (Archana Kavi) who believes that she is alone amidst the loving parents. She sees her mummy (Urvashi) as the toughest enemy and fights daily with her. Because of some unexpected developments in her College, her parents gifts her a computer. She is a lover of chatting and soon she finds a friend Ameer (Suresh Gopi) through public chatting. He makes her comfortable, understand about the relationships and brings back to normal happy life with her parents. This relation turns to a love and creates problems in her house as well as Rahul (Kunchakko Boban) heart. Now how the problems are getting solved is the climax.

The film did not work out as expected but it can be watched once with patience. The main attraction of the movie is the performance of Urvashi which sometime you may feel over acting. But to be frank, overall she has done well. Archan kavi is not up to the mark and she can not be a promising star for sure. There were some songs which should have been avoided. Sometime you may feel like you are watching a documentary film but it is the way the film is treated and don't blame the director for it.

Summary: Watch the movie with out any hype and expectations

Common Interview Puzzle 1

This is a common puzzle which is asked in interviews. This is simple, but tricky.
Let us try this.

You have two variables say a & b. Let a = 3 and b = 5. Swap the values of a & b without using a third variable. Interesting?? Let us try the answer,

Step 1: a = a + b   //Now a = 8 & b = 5
Step 2: b = a - b   //Now a = 8 & b = 3
Step 3: a = a - b   //Now a = 5 & b = 3

Simple?? Is'nt it?
