It is a fact that the vast majority of Telugu films form part of the mega genre of “cupid strikes the lovely twosome”. What is often overlooked by the audiences is the innumerable ingenuous ways that our lovelorn Heroes use to trap the girl, and how the same time-tested techniques could help them achieve similar success in real life too. So all you guys out there who are looking for a ready-reckoner to win over the girl of your dreams – this list is for you. Put it to good use!
Attend as many weddings as possible
Hope for a day when the Groom’s side calls off the marriage at the very last moment (generally, due to dowry issues or due to questionable character of the bride). Wait till the girl’s father finishes pleading the Groom and his parents, wait till he utters that magical phrase for which you have been waiting all these years,
“Who will marry the girl now?”
Wait no more, belch it out “I, yes I will marry the girl”
The whole gathering would look at you in shock; Hushed murmurs will fill the room. Go for the kill, regurgitate that prepared speech of yours. If you’ve made it this far, it is next to impossible that the girl’s father will disagree. Now the girl would be ready to marry you even if you look like a tree trunk (Thumma Moddhu). In a movie titled ‘Aadapilla’, which I remember seeing as a kid, one such poor girl goes a step further and marries a real tree trunk.
More recently, Okka Magadu and Mental Krishna were married this way. Do we need more inspiration???
Grovel, Beg and Pester
This is a very effective way and most of the girls relent sooner or later. Be it the groveling method as illustrated in 7/G Brindhavan Colony or the pestering way as shown in Idiot or the begging style as in Desamuduru, it always works. Even in real life this one has a huge success ratio. Just look around, every other love story is an example of the above mentioned methodologies.
Warning: There is a very fine line separating these methods from those of stalking and harassing (which if followed would not be very good for your bones and your health in general, especially if the girl has a brother or too). So perfect your technique watching some Telugu movies before you tread this path.
Save her from the baddies
This method has a 100% success ratio but it’s really difficult to find yourself, the baddies and a beauty together. And even if you did, in real life it’s very difficult to beat more than one person at a time to save her. Despite all this, this method sounds very tempting to me. Well, to tell you the truth, most of the times, when I think of impressing a girl, this is the first thought that comes to my mind. I pray that a bunch of really bad guys start harassing a damsel and I jump in at the right time to save her … Ha Ha Ha. (very funny eh?)
Catch them Young
This one has serious limitations.
- You should have had that itch and the vision to execute something as grand at a young age, but since you are reading this I assume you are a grown up. If my assumption is wrong, start planning.
- What if she turns out into an ugly and obnoxious Xanthippe of sorts? May God help you! Luckily for our heroes, (Bujjigadu, Manasantha Nuvve, Mr. Medhavi etc) they all turned out to be damsels.
Stay Uncommitted
Ok…ok, this one sounds quite contradictory to the post but its true. Make yourself available, for who know a very beautiful girl might somehow be connected to you and your family. She is your ‘Maradhalu’ and you never knew all this while because there was a family feud long-long-ago and your family had to part ways with hers. Isn’t that wonderful? Just imagine, one of the most beautiful girls you have ever seen turns out to be your ‘Maradhalu’!!!!
