Yeah 5 star was a very good one I believe, which didn't get due recognition i guess. I found it an awesome movie, with a very depth story line and screenplay. |

Hi Girish, I have seen the original version of this movie in malayalam acted by Mohal Lal and Karthikaa( Nayagan movie heroine, Karthikaa). It was awesome more natural than manasukkul maththappu. BTW, it is a wrong news to spread that "shock treatment" given to psychiatric patient is the same as the current we use in household. Moreover, the patients will be well sedated before this particular treatment, they showed as if Prabu was screaming and yelling, to impress the viewers. Wrong propaganda! |

Yes! The the second half was a bit far fetched, but the first half was outrageously funny, excellent performance from everyone. |

Woman in the audience: Puriyadha Pudhir ku appuram neenga yen thrillere edukkale KSR: Puriyadha Pudhir eppa paattheenga ? Theatrele ya ? Woman: Konja naal munnaadi Tv le pOttAnga KSR: Adhunaaladhaan indhe kaelviye Quite apt for our topic. Now in defense of Album: Usually movies are placed in cities or villages and small towns are given the skip. Album was set in a small town. Very natural backgrounds: the houses lookes very lived-in not contrived. The love story was usual but was the romance was very subtly played. I felt the lead actress acted rather well. No villain. Everybody's reactions are shoen as dependant on their problems that is not necessarily elaborated. For instance, we never know what Vijayakumar's disappointment with his brothers, it is not central to the movie and thus not told. The father's love for his son and anxiety manifesting as anger, the respectful relationship that the employer (Vijayakumar) has for his employee (the hero's dad- a malayalam actor). All these were quite natural. In particular I liked Prakashraj's cameo as a Neruda quoting 'Navaapazham' vendor, who shocks the idealism out of the hero. It was not very positive, but it is the kind of cghange that happens to many. The climax lacked variety and the happily-ever-after ending was all too predictable and the comedy (Karunas) was awful. But I thought the movie was quite unusual. I wanted it to run so that the diorector would get another chance and would make a better film. |

I have actually seen Kootupuzhukal, just wanted to refresh memory a bit about this movie and get some comments on it, frankly, I dont remember much of it, I am not even able to recall the presence of Raghuvarn in that movie though I saw it twice when it was released I do remember liking the movie when I did see it. It is a pity we cannot get these types of movies again to watch in Vcd format or something

What about Fazil's "Karpoora Mullai" - with Amala in the lead role? Excellent performance by Amala. Sri Vidya, Raja, Sumithra and all the other guest artistes too have done their part well. I think that movie was a flop but it's a very nice movie and I have seen it a number of times especially for that wonderful performance of Amala.
PR, Yes Mugavari is a very good movie of Ajith. Raguvaran and Jo were also impressive. Balakumaran's dialogues were great - very realistic. There's this nice line where Raghuvaran says to Ajith - "inga thOththA makkumbaanga jeyichuttA luckumbanaga" . Through out the film you get these kind simple and beautiful dialogues. |

I can't quite think of any other movie of his which was great. I can think of a lot of movies which generated lot of hype to disappoint (pudumaippitthan,pullakuttikaaran,sarigamapadanee,aravindhan,vetri kodi kattu) and some very ordinary films (Abhimanyu,Ulle Veliye,kaakkai siraginile).

IMO, he would have been a better choice for the role Madhavan played in kannathil muththamittaal but I think MR woudn't have wanted to take a risk by booking him. |

Watched it when I was very young so honestly don't remember it too well.
I liked it in parts. The climax dipped into goondas and violence and didn't gel with the movie. Amala simply owned the film. I think she played the role in the Malayalam original also. Particlarly remember the impish sequence where the friends gang and shock Raja's mother (was it Sukumari ?). I think the movie got a bit weepy. As I said I'm just talking from vague memories. Sure there are bits am missing as you have mentioned the movie here. Tell us about it. |

"Marupadiyum" was a better film than "Arth" - the two main protagonists were equally good in both versions (shabana azmi, smita patil in hindi, revathi-rohini in tamil) but the nizhalgal ravi character in "Marupadiyum" was pretty tacky in the hindi original ... kulbhushan karbandha with his extremely limited talents pretty much sleepwalked through the role. |

you'd be surprised! i saw the hindi version first .. saw Marupadiyum only a couple of years ago on TV. but i still like balu mahendra's film better than bhatt's "original"... but you're right, generally it's the version seen first that impresses, though in this case, i liked the remake better.
a good film - one that perfectly matches the title of this thread. was a balu mahendra production, i think. i heard the film ran into some problems during the tamil film industry strike of 1997, which may have hampered its prospects at the BO. nevertheless, an absorbing flick. |

There is one movie I remembered, Amala plays the lead role,
the movie I think is a remake of hindi movie Ankur or Ankush something, it has Amala and 3-4 guys, not popular actors, the plot is something like Amala is raped and these guys defend her..... dont remember much. Anyone seen this movie? Know the name? Any comments? |

It wouldn't me much of a forum with tastes converging, would it ? With 'Album' I guess it was also because I saw it with zero expectations so I must have liked it better, guess I hyped it up a wee bit .

For old movies, try Raj Video Vision in Anna Salai. I'm not sure if it still exists there. But they had the copyright for a lot of movies. The other one was in Purasawalkam. The name started with a "C" had two words.. as usual forgot the name of the store.. |

Joining this discussion now I would like to clarify a few things-Puruyatha puthir was a remake of Sunil kumar desai's debut in kannada(forgot the name)starring Shankar Nag as the prisoner on the run,Vanitha Vasu as the housewife&Devraj as the sadistic husband.Amazing movie it was&a hit,don't know how the Tamil version was/fared.Illam's original was Samsara.....nukku Samadhanam with Mohanlal&was directed by Sathyan Anthikkad.A big hit,it was one of the movies which cemented Lal's place in the Mal film industry.Anthappuram was a hard hitting Tel movie by Krishna Vamsi,had Prakash Raj as the dreaded village leader,Sharada as his wife,Saikumar as the son,Soundarya as the dil&jagapathi Babu as the saviour.In tamil Babu's portions were re-shot with Parthiban&the rest was dubbed.IR was the MD.Vamsi himself remade it into Hindi as 'Shakhi' but it lacked the passion&raw violence of the original. |

agree wholeheartedly ... i remember watching 'The American President' (michael douglas-annette bening-richard dreyfuss) while channel-surfing one rainy afternoon and found it quite delightful. similarly, 'The Insider' - another really gripping film which i just "happened" to watch. Not seen The American president Not seen Insider too |

Someone was mentioning 'Naam'earlier,that also was a remake.Based on a telugu sleeper hit 'Aithe',Sindhu Tolani(Sullan,Mamanthan)made her debut as a plain jane.Unfortunately the Tamil version&the malayalam version('Wanted' with Mohan Lal as the police officer)did not create any ripples despite good reviews. |

Thanks RC, yes, I do remember now, Oomai vizhigal. There was
one horrible movie they made (But I think it was average hit as Vijaykath was at his peak that time), the one in which Vijaykanth played double role, the heroines were Radhika and someone else, one of the 2 Vijaykanths is a foreign return having "CAT EYES" can you beleive it? I have not seen this movie but this is the second or third movie of the Film students team something.... But I think it was produced by VK himself. |
