“You Frozen Frog, do something”

Generally, I don’t laugh at abusive language. But the creativity in this line made me laugh spontaneously!

“In the recent Tamil movie ‘Sarpatta Parambarai‘ an Anglo-Indian wife uses these words to ‘push’ her (otherwise calm) husband to *act* in order to bring a conflict in their neighborhood to a stop.

This is what she says,

“You frozen frog… Do something”

He was standing quietly in a corner instead of resolving the conflict. The wife tries to but fails. She then sees her inactive husband, gets enraged, and spurs him into action with these (for me) Legendary Words!

You should see the movie to get the exact tone and context in which she mentions it – she is pretty much consistent with that tone throughout the movie

Directed by PA Ranjit, Sarpattai Parambarai is a good movie about a historical boxing competition in Madras. It is longer than required, otherwise, it’s a fine movie. It’s there on Amazon Prime. Don’t miss if you value quality over entertainment
