Deepauk's articles on Tamil Films in Chennai Times

**NOV** · 16th April 2011, 11:29 AM

Dear Deepauk, I took the liberty to move all your posts on the articles in Chennai Times to a dedicated thread, so that it will make easier reading and for records.
Do feel free to change the title to something more appropriate, if necessary.

Also, if possible, reproduce the original articles here so that they don't get lost in future due to missing links.

Camfli, a middling article but the moondru mugam-asago nexus. Is well caught.
I remember mentioning in the hub before - ASago marked the beginning of my grudging acceptance. Of Kamal as a star.
I remember mentioning this too - my first reaction to ASago was "ha! A moondru mugam copy - what's the fuss about?

"
It was in retrospect that I recognised the greatness of the man behind ASago and by the time MMKR came, the turn around was complete and with my teens withering away, so did the Rajini mania. Duds like manidhan, mappillai, oor kavalan, siva etc helped accelerate the process.

Deepauk,

I read today's article in TOI but I missed out yesterday [which I could read it from here]. As usual nicely written with the choice of words being typical Deepauk's. One thing that you brought out well is the prominence accorded to Alex and the not so prominence for Sethupathi. The next two articles should also evoke keen interest, I hope.

Regards

Can we use this thread to link your express reviews, too?
