I heard that the reason for the name change was because they thought North american boys would not watch a film titled a girl's name.

VK is an MLA of vrudhachalam and the name of the pilim is also another name of this place. The sthala deity of vrudhachalam is "Virudhagireeswarar" and his name is shortened colloquially to "Virudhagiri" in thamizh. Here shiva is set to have assumed the form of an old man to taunt Parvathi who was doing penance. Originally Posted by Puliyan_Biryani

So Virudha - in this context means old..

Nagaram - ok
movie about a rowdie, who tries hard to live a normal life with a wife and a kid, but he is used by his friend for criminal actions, will his dream about a wife and kid become true...
about performances:
Sundar c , has a sole expression througout to movie, but he is not loud and jarring like former movies, which is a relief. Anuja better scope for her in this movie than in SMS, she did her job well. After long time i found vadivelus comedy pretty funny. esp in 1st half. Bose venkat deserves mention to, bloody nice as a corrupt cop.
music and bgm pass, S. Thaman did good job.
This movie indicates where Sundar C, is at his best, he made good movies in past that you could enjoy. I hope he keep doing that....

sorry plum, I should have elaborated.
I hate the stupid young love from age eight business, which is becoming rampant these days.
I also dislike that just becos a guy supports a girl financially, she must marry him.
I also dislike intensely when children bad mouth thier parents no matter what the situation.
So, with such a heavy baggage, the beginning didnt catch my fancy.
Once past that, the movie carried on marvelously, that I even feared that it will overtake AT for best film of the year.
The bus scene was enough to keep me at the edge of the seat.
And then the climax
totally cinematic and with the intention of earning audience sympathy

Mandira Punnaghai - a different movie
story about a guy who is different minded and does bad things, he falls in love with a girl, he is insecure about her because she reminds him of his mum, he tries to push her away because he dont wanna end up like his dad, but the girl tries very hard to convince him about her love... will she succeed or not...
about performances
without knowing karu pazhaniappan, I think this character suits him well, as a depressive guy who drinks and thinks odd and speaks odd. meenakshi proves she is more than a glamdoll in the movie, she acts well, and got enough scope to show her talents. santhanam is there, not funny as usual, but his one liners are still outstanding at moments.
the best part of the movie are dialogues, many dialogues which has a valid point.
songs are good IMO, BGM suits city based story like this, Vidysagar is back in town with a bang (Vidyasagar is also main reason for me to watch this movie, have watched almost all tamil movies where he has been MD)
Mandira Punnaghai is a very bold attempt and I like the way its presented, cudos to Karu Pazhaniappan for the outcome.

From: Nerd on 29th November 2010 06:39 PM [Full View]
Mandhira Punnagai. First of all did not expect an *in your face / audacious* film from Mr. Clean - Karu. Pazhaniappan. The film needs some serious trimming, like the entire Santhanam episode except a few one liners. He was largely unfunny and his subplot was absolutely unnecessary. And the film needs a better climax too.
The best part of the film was dialogues by Baskar Sakthi. The guy is simply outstanding. Karu.Pal fitted the role very well but could have tried to act better. The twist was rather unexpected. As I said earlier serious trimming and a better climax could have made the film a lot better. But worth watching if you got nothing to do.

BaanA Kaathaadi
Movie reminds me of VV's dialaak, "opening ellam nala thein irrukku. aana pineesing thein remba mOsam."
Nice/convincing setting up of mileu (Sennai kuppam youngster life, that is), good characterizations, good to OK acting from almost everyone, good directorial touches here and there - only to be marred eventually by a pedestrian/underwhelming story that unfolds in the second half.
The climax ending only rubs in to the already ordinary story that unfolds the moment Ramesh tries to propose to Priya.
Atharva - For a debutant, his acting was OK/not bad. Though the role doesn't challenge him that much, he just being himself without "trying" to act helped. But Atharva might have to work on his facial expressions a little bit more and as well as his voice modulation, if he has to have a good/long career.
Samantha - Looks cute (as in school girlish cute). Again, her role doesn't take a whole lot out of her but to her credit she carried it well. She has a very charming and bubbly presence.
Prasanna - Quite good, as usual, in this movie. He is one of my favourite actors and the one I have been watching out for this guy for quite sometime alongside Jeeva. It's unfortunate that he is not getting enough chances.
I don't mind if Prasanna gets to play character roles but I hope he get some meaty ones at that.
All the supporting characters - Karunas, T.P. Gajendran, Mounica have done their roles well and their characterizations were good as well. All the songs are good (I was listening them for the first time while watching the movie) and YSR's bgm is more than adequate.
Besides all these good aspects, insipid story is what makes "Bana Kaathadi" fall apart and fly low.

Thillalangadi
Seyam Ravi has managed to make Ravi Teja look like a Kamalahaasan in what turns out to be one of the silliest movies of 2010 with silly/bufoonish characters. I've seen the original Gulti movie "Kick" in parts at a friends house. When Ravi Teja did those silly antics it didn't look overtly silly but rather looked funny. But when Seyam Ravi does the same antics - he simply looks like a joker/comedian. To Ravi's credit, he redeems himself to some extent during the second half where he turns into a Robinhood. One thing I noticed with Ravi is he has improved remarkably in dancing with this movie. Tammana overacts but that is in keeping with the way her character is written. Vadivelu scenes are funny and I wish he had more screen time. Lot's of folks have acted in the movie and I can't help to wonder for this "dubakoor" movie do they need to have such a varied/star cast. YSR's songs are the only silver lining in an otherwise disastrous movie.

Oh that's quite easy. As I mentioned sometime back, the first time you remake, it is because something in another language really caught your attention and you believe you can rework it succesfully. In that, you didnt go into that movie thinking you'll remake it but it really is something that has the attributes of cross-section appeal and you recognise and use it. When it becomes a formula, you go around looking for candidates to remake, and when you do that, you tend to force-fit candidates to remake. Even if you are not 100% convinced about a particular movie, you tend to pick the best among what you see. Obviously, when you do that, it is hit or miss. Originally Posted by Mahen

This is true of many things. Like, say, blogging. When you start off, you possibly have a lot to share, and write because you want to share. You build fans, who then start expecting and you are under pressure to write for them. You then start to scout for topics to write on, and some of them work, some of them dont work.

Vetri Vizha on TV
1. Fast paced thriller with organic flavour. Thoroughly enjoyable. Recent example would be Ayyan, and it featured Prabhu too.
2. Kamal was just providing his physiques, no heavy duty acting. Fantastic fight sequences.
3. Beautiful songs.
4. Nice comedy with Prabhu and his brother-in-laws (description of them especially.
5. 21 years old and still entertaining.

It is a much quoted and much-watched scene. You know exactly what you are in store for when vaLLi runs up from the riverside to the oncoming Jeep carrying her brother returning from treatment following his accident. Ilaiyaraja, in the BGM, and Shoba in the foreground are preparing us for a joyous reunion, and perhaps a thaw in the relationship between the engineer and kALi as a result of this. But now you know that these hopes are going to be belied, watching it the nth time. You know both IR and Shoba are going to realise the enormity of the situation and react. You know that kALi will do that helpless, sad, hesitant, not-knowing--what-to-say or react, sinking-in reaction.
Yet, when vaLLi spots her brother's handlessness, tears choke up your throat.
Rajinikanth has never bettered his performance as kALi. Period.

On Thalapathy, *blasphemy alert*, I found myself rooting for the songs to end and the movie gets on for most of the songs. I know the accusations on drop in standards of picturisation on part of Mani generally start post-2000s.
Thalapathy - good in parts - most aspects. Dialogues especially - Amrish puri offering Rajini a chance to be his second-in-command etc are quite koyandhathanamA irundhudhu.
In the context of Surya vs kALi in the Rajini thread, no contest I say. Worthy as it is, Surya comes nowhere near kALi.

Mamooty in all his stupid innocence hands the child to Rajini. Rajini's visible discomfort with the child, his difficulty in facing Bhanupriya's eyes (recounted by himself in the 'naan paavi maa' post marriage scene). Excellend 'nga.

I've come to think that Deva is actually aware of what he's doing. He willfully plays the innocent god who could (and does) make Deva confront the child and the mother. Later he also asks Surya to marry her! He couldn't have possibly been that oblivious to others' situations. Originally Posted by P_R

அதான் நானும் சொல்றேன். "Wills good" perfectly describes his action here. My point is he couldn't have been unaware of it. He's being willfully naïve and doing it because he thinks it's possible and would be a redemptive action on their part. In a sense, I'd suggest he's the stand-in for the filmmaker here.

Hallo erkanave thrice paathachu.
This is a sci-fi film. We have to suck up by whatever rules the director lays em out. Part of the big reason why I avoid atleast 80% sci-fil films.
What do you mean by there is no twist?. The twist is right in front of you when Cobb says about limbo and the possible dangerous situations to his crew when they try to kill saito in the warehouse. He(Cobb) also says to Saito that he won't remember their deal (His phone call to relieve Cobb off his legal complications when they land home) if he wakes up from his sleep. What about Domm revealing why he knew inception was possible because he did it to his damm wife(Although I guessed this one) What more twists(shocks) you want?
Cobb and Ariadne follow fischer jr to his limbo once ariadne gives the idea to eames and cobb that they can still get fischer jr back. Idhu il-logical aa?. What I found was Fischer Jr's ignorance to identify a direct business rival(Saito) and sharing dream spaces with him

It had Jenifer Lopez who hacks into the dream of a serial killer who is in coma, but who has a girl in captivity. Neat movie with colourful interpretation of "Dream world".
Another dream movie is "In Dreams" *ing Annette Benning and Robert Downey Jr.
These were movies of 90s and early 2000s. There have been very many movies on this subject.. Most of them tried to be imaginative and poetic over "being a thriller" movie.

Inception is an incredible sleeping (never been into a sleep within a sleep) experience kicked off everytime by edith paif classic "padam padam ennada padam". Thanks to Hans Zimmer suggestion to retain the track.

If any other mainstream film has achieved anything close to this, pliss to inform.

Viruthagiri - rubbish propaganda torture
story about a brutal cop who loses a relative in australia, he goes there and rescues her.
abt performances:
Vijayakanth acting is ok, but all the irritating dialogues makes me wanna puke.
no heroine (evalum ivaroda nadikka mun varalayo??)
even though there are no comedians, pleanty of scenes makes u laugh.
Songs are bad, esp lyrics, all the songs have been used to tell Vijaykanths point of view regardnig politics.
Viruthagiri is undoubly the worst movie in 2010. Every one praises Vijaykanth from beginning till end, its a little relief the animals were spared, otherwise they woul have been used to praise him too (shabbaaa mudiyala...) Very amateurish directing. somebody said "words can kill". I am now in hell.
Its just my opionion abt movie, Vijaykanth is a fine actor, but sometimes he acts in really bad movies, this one is one of them.

There is a thread for Navarasa nayagan Karthik.. when it opened, there were around 10 to 15 hubbers (including myself) supported it & posted about his good films.... on seeing this can he do a film as hero & release it & make it a success? he is just 51 & looks physically fit too.
from an actors POV.. fans irukkanga - avangalukkuthan 1st preference kudukka mudiyum... simple
& there was a ulaga cinema released a couple of weeks ago.. NANDHALALA.. whats the fate @ Box Office
until VK does well in both fronts, he won't quit..... after seeing these kind posts, I wish him to revive his Andal Azhagar kambeny (yesterday saw parts of Engal Anna) & direct 2 films per year.. 1 for AA combines & 1 for CCC

Peter Sellers(in all his avatars) and that final Herr. Fuherer are stuff deserving superlative praise.

Va 1/4 Cutting:
After an impressive debut with "Oram Po" from the Pushkar-Gayathri couple, I really looked forward for their next cutting (I mean outing) Vaa 1/4... The movie falls flat without any fizz even as it sets/promises itself for an interesting start/situation to carry . The stage/situation was nicely set for the screenplay to take off. After taking off reasonably well, the movie meanders a lot (aimlessly and/or in a unentertaining way) as time progressed. By the time, Siva/Charan duo run into Lekha Washington the "fizz" had already fizzled out. The fact that they had at least a couple of 'needless' saangs didn't help the matter either... The only "kick" I got out of the film was Lekha Washington. Figure-U paaka sokkA keedhu ba!
It's a 1/4 cutting with no "mubbu". Idhukku "Orange Soos"-E kudichirukalaam!
Madrasapattinam:
With a old lady recalling her good old days, the movie reminds "Titanic" right away. With a "tacky" vellaikaara bad guy (in pre-independent Madras) playing velaikaara heronini's fiancee, a rebellious hero who just needs one hard glare to impress his heroini, the "inglepiece" administration going on a ruthless cinematic rampage over the powerless locals - the movie goes into the "Lagaan" mode and stays in that node for a while before again getting back into a "titanic mode" climax.
My fraablem with Madraspatinam is not that it reminds me of Titanic & Lagaan. Those movies worked amidst their cliches because the way they established those "cliches" was a bit more subtle. Before you start to buy or reject those cliches - those movie had you already distracted to it's emotional/melodramatic side of things. Hence those movies worked (or at least for me) even with those cliches. But here the director has failed on both those aspects - i.e. A) Setting up/establishing those cliches a bit progressively/gradually. B) Strongly establishing the emotional quotient, from a viewer's perspective.
Amy Jackson looks pretty/cute and is the lone postive aspect in this movie.
Madrasapatinam is a bad "try" to make kood cinema. It is a "Kaamedy piece", unintended.

I actually thought both Va & Madrasapattinam were good films, especially the latter.
Va worked in every way, it was a small budget film, quirky dialogues, clever references, good performances. It created some good characters - the guy who burns vehicles, Manikka Vinayagam, Chinna Thambi etc too. Shiva & charan's chemistry worked and the film was cleverly carried out. No idea, what you lot are smoking - Lekha Washington is amazing in real life - in this she had to play a suicidal 19 yr old - not much scope for beauty there.
Madrasapattinam also created several memorable characters and scenes. Scenes such as the one Arya and his friends go to apologize is tied in well with the rest of the story - as he memorises the route taken when he goes to save her. Loads of little ticks like that throughout. The music was amazing as was the 'Marandattiya scene' - really really well directed. The second half was a bit montonous and the modern scenes with Sethu were a bit silly, but the first was right up with the best pieces of cinema this year.

Va 1/4 cutting had a good situation to begin with to make things a bit entertaining. But the screenplay really lacked the "kick" and the ending was also a bit too bland for all the hoopla. The idea/concept of showing the night life of Chennai via an outsider was good. It was good thinking from Pushkar/Gayathri couple but they didn't really create any great moments which is required for thse kind of movies. Originally Posted by Krillin
As far as Madrasapattinam, well the movie really didn't strike any emotional chord, for me, even if I could forgive all the cliches. Even the characterizations like that of Naseer's or Cochin Haneefa's were very animated and ordinarily written for a "supposedly" serious movie?

Manmadhan Ambu - def watchable
A story about a jealous x boyfriend, a detective, a snobbish actress and a golddigger. the movie is without violence, vulgarity, but IMO not a movie for kids, only for people above16+.
about performances:
Kamalhaasan, KICK A** after his entrance. Madhavan was outstanding, his character was so humourous. Trisha looks very matured in this movie, acting also nice. Sangeetha, every since Pithamagan her acting scale has went up and up, in this movie she proves again how good she is. OThe rcast also did justice to their parts, esp that little boy.
DSP well done on BGM and songs, Neela Vaanam, Oyyale are very good. ESP Neela Vaanam song is a visual treat, nevermind if its copied, from Enigma, Cold Play or whoever. E adichan Copy, Nan rasichen appi.
K S Ravikumars movies changed after DasAVATARam, Jaggubhai was poor, but MMA, manages to keep me glued to the screen. THe story might be predictable, but the screenplay, dialogues, comedy makes it work.

Of course, Sandhanam is the real hero here. Though full of Annan's shade, I think he is slowly getting his own brand of comedy. Good for him.

See I havent even spoken about the so many good aspects of the movie. One would simply run out of words to start describing the performance of George C. Scott as the General who is not too unhappy about the impending holocaust. his reaction shots and body language that bridges ultra serious to downright loony is simply marvellous. His characterisation is a serious slap in the face of military might devoid of moral superiority. We can open a thread to peel, layer by layer the intricacies wired it by Stanley Kubrick - Sooper movie. Originally Posted by ajithfederer

கத பறயும்போள் (ஸ்ரீனிவாசன் படம் / மலையாளம் / குசேலனின் ஒரிஜினல் என்று கேள்வி)
மிகைப்படுத்தல்களைக்கண்டுகொள்ளாமல் பார்த்தால், செம படம்
ஸ்ரீனிவாசன் பிராண்ட் ஹ்யூமர் படத்துக்கு உயிர். அருமையான வசனங்களும் நச்!
இது தமிழில் சோபிக்காமல் போனதற்கு ஒரே காரணம் பார்பர் பாலன் ரோல் சரியான ஆளுக்குக்கொடுக்கப்படாததால் இருக்கலாம். எஸ்வி சேகர் / பாண்டியராஜன் மாதிரி ஆளுக்கான ரோல் இது.
குசேலன் ஒரு முறை பார்க்க வேண்டும், ஒப்பிடுவதற்காக
மம்மூட்டி ஒரு பாட்டில் "வாஜி, வாஜி , வாஜி"யை ஸ்பூஃப் செய்வதாக நான் நினைக்கும்போதே, என் பையன் அதன் இடை இசை அப்படியே 'வாஜி வாஜி வாஜி'யாக இருப்பதை "கூடச்சேர்ந்து பாடிக்காட்டி" உறுதிப்படுத்தியது பெரிய தமாஷ்

First 30 minutes of 'irumbukkOttai murattu singham'.
The sets are pretty impressive!
Simbu Devan definitely had conceptualized very well There're many negatives and the actor who does the main role being the top

Kalavani : An interesting Vijay padam told with lots of funny twists.
Likelly, I was expecting some twists from editor's sharp hands on the sister, panchayathu, saranya & the villain brother. It was really a stretch. The opening Raja songs are appropriately used.
Overall Sargunam deserves a for his debut & casting. Nothing I could rave more about. Thanks for the recom.

P.S: Dabbil meaning kaamedy by Vivek is family-oriented - it is only to be scoffed at if the perpetrator of dabbil meaning is VAM. We'll go by stereotypes than actual content.
Similarly, pelvic moments in dances, borderline hero over heroine in bed sequences are also family-oriented. We'll only scoff at sindhu samaveLis and Uyirs.

Siruthai - a, b, c of masalamovies.
my very simple model for masalamovies:
a: action flick with unbelievable action sequences
b: skin show from heroine and item dancer
c: starting slow with comedy, but moving in rocket speed in 2nd half
story about a a thief, and about a brave and brutal cop, and his daughter. will the hero rescue the daughter and beat villain...
about performances:
Karthi does both jobs good as the thief and cop, also showing he can dance pretty neat, even though u didnt see that in his earlier movies. Tamannah acting like same dumb girl seen in (kedi, vyapari & sura), she was not needed in the movie IMO. Santhanam is the 2nd hero of the movie, his one liners and the comedy near climax is so funny. baby Rakshana also did a good job, she sounds pretty cute when she says" neenthaan daddy".
editing sucked a bit, esp the way naan romba romba song was a edited made me angry, waste of a good song.
photography and graphics apt for the masala movie.
vidyasagar did a pretty good job on BGM and songs. 2 songs are really good, I just wished he could make a song similar to jum jummaya (vikramarkudu)
Its a risky thing to direct a remake, but director siva did a fair job, although the violence is a bit too much in tamil version too.

Kavalan - best pongal movie
movie about a bodyguard who falls in a girl he doesnt know, will his love succeed or not...
about performances:
Vijay is really good in the movie, esp during sentimental scenes, comedy, dancing, fights as usual top notch.
Asin does a neat job too, kollywood needs actresses like Asin who acts better than many, esp last 25 minutes.
Vadivelu is really funnyin the movie, and he is really lucky to be paired with hot Neeba.
Mitra Kuriyan (Suriyan Sattakallori actress), has not got much to do, but does her part well.
M.S Baskar, Rajkiran, Roja, Delhi Ganesh, Nizhalgal Ravi, + rest of cast did their parts well.
Editing, photography, graphics fair and good.
Songs and BGM very apt. Pattamboochi, Yaradhu, Step Step, eyetreat and pleasant to the ears.
Siddique made a really good job, his comic sense is splendid. Must have been difficult to make this movie, but at the end result is overwhelming.

This two legends of Tamil Cinema Rajini & Kamal Combination is a magic combination. RAJINI is a big business magnet. KAMAL works as the GM of that firm and who grows in RAJINI's place. KAMAL & SREE PRIYA who are in Love roams in Eliots beach, Mahabalipuram, drinking "SUGAR CANE JUICE" and watching movies in Devi theatre eating pop corn and cone ice cream in interval etc. One must see the Love scenes of Kamal and Sree Priya with Kamal wearing his BELL Bottom Pant that too in dark brown color and dancing with Sree Priya. Simply superb. Especially that

Siruthaey - Don't know if it was in addition to "theatre effect" but was funny and wasn't disappointed or bored...I think Karthi's typecasted himself so that "Rocket Raja" reminds us of his previous rowdy/happy go lucky characters...Santhanam seems best at "partner in crime" comedy
Guessing they kept the same villains as from the Telugu version?
Tamannah was of course bright and beautiful and also managed to be cheeky. Songs ok not anything overly memorable.

I have seen that film. Mammooty as Ahmed Haji was very impressive but found him funny (unintended) in the Khalid role. The film was very bland and I could not follow completely eventhough I watched it with subtitles. Sumaaraana padam.
Even Kutty Srank has a couple of "A" scenes. Kamalinee's bare back is shown in a scene. I dint like Kutty Srank either. Mammooty was good but Kamalinee, what a pristine beauty

Let some one come and make a movie like "En Uyir Thoazhan" which was the boldest criticism of kazhagam politics when it was at its zenith and then lets say how BR is not "as impressive as I thought". He has his shortcomings and touches which have been over used by other clones and made to look silly by way of spoofs. however he is second to none.. mudhal mariyaadhai and likes deserve the overused hub term "Vaaipillaamai". He is far more original than other "inspired" filmmakers too. Lets have some balance guys..

As for bharathiraasa, simply put, the acting in his movies is enough to damn them forever. Even prime honour has its horrendous moments. NT shores it up immensely. In the eastern lands! Black mother et al are vastly overrated. My best friend also acting atrocious. A few good moments do not a genius make

Agampuram - below average
Story about a goon that gets caught and turns good.
Shaams voice is a big minus for a goon movie like this. Meenakshi (reason for watching the movie)glam babe, sexy as usual. other cast, barely convincing.
Music is average, one song is hummable though.
Director thirumalai, failed to deliver a movie with crisp screenplay, many scenes are amateurish. better luck next time.

pre-16V Kamal was an equivalent of today's "multiplex-only" actor. (Like someone said "it won't run south of Tambaram").
Obviously it wasn't Kamal's mistake but the general standards of TF industry where people can easily be placed inside an image trap.
I would give great marks to BR as among the pinoeers in TF to thrash many such long-held stuff.
Also, if we discredit him for the Sudhakars and Pandiyans, shouldn't we also give him credit for finding the Karthiks / Radhas / Revathies / Gounders / Vairamuththus / Backiarajes & Manivannans (and their vamsams, making BR a grandpA)?
What more do you expect of a "director"? In many ways, BR is a pioneer who rightfully earned his place in TF history!

Again, instant agreement. Everytime that BR liberated tamil cinema from studios claim is made, this is the visual that passes through my mind instantly. Same pinch.It has been done by the filmmakers of the past, just take a look at Bheem Singh's Pazhani, the paddy field is beautifully shot for Aarodum song
Also, the song itself - can it get anymore maNNin maNam than this? While the degree of rustic elegance that IR brought was something else, the typical picture that is painted that before IR, there was absolutely no authentic tamizh folk in TFM is outrageous in light of such songs.

man, awesomeOne of the biggest crime he committed was to make Sathyaraj in Kadalora Kavithaigal a wimp towards the end when he started the film showing him to be a tough, lovable rogue. Somewhere, I get the feeling that Bharathiraja loathed tough guys, or probably bullied by one when in school. The toughest guy in 16 Vayathinile gets rock on his head, the hero is a wimpy limp. Any films with Sudhakar goes on to show that softies takes the centre spot, as with K. Bagyaraj’s self written Puthiiya Varpugal where the toughest thing he did was to grab the girl and elope. Kamal in Sigappu Rojakkal killed women, not M.N. Nambiar. Oh yeah, he killed a guy, K. Bagyaraj, a lowly waiter, in the loo. They did it to you there, didn't they, Bharathiraja?

IMO pazhani etc. need much huger time handicap than 16V. In fact I can ONLY appreciate it as a vintage effort with its attendant heightened melodrama etc. OTOH 16V is something I can engage with directly till this day, far more direct and 'contemporary' 30 years hence.
In other news as I write I am able to recall many 16V BGMs when I recall the scenes.

And the sad part about BR's burst is that he undermined it himself with a dated approach to performances. His movies have equally overdrawn, melodramatic performances led by himself. I get what you say, though. Frankly, I find karagAttakaran more naturally rural in terms of characters sitting naturally in their habitat and the performances than any of Bharathiraja's movies.

Authentically Rural 16V was re-evaluated in light of subsequent evidence-nu solla vandhEn. What happened to Pazhani viz-a-viz 16V was only a matter of degree - that is. Originally Posted by P_R

The characters take centre stage. I get the same thrill of location, cinematography, framing, visual sense but with far more relatable, real characters with *good* performances(well, Sarathbabu just scrapes through but I'll take that). It will not get dated the way 16V has. Well, dated is not a word I will use for 16V because I had the same problems first time viewing also so it is not as if the ravages of time have eroded it - having watched it quite late in my movie watching career.
Mahendran should have been the pioneer - Tamil Cinema chose the wrong prophet and went down the slide.

My two cents - I enjoyed watching Nizhalgal a lot more than I did Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu. In fact, I'd say VNS is about the time when KB started losing his sheen for me (Sindhu Bhairavi is a one off).
Udhiri pUkkaL is hardly a milieu defining film at all. It is a character study, a stupendous one no doubt, but its allure has little to do with the rustic setting. The bucolic milieu is far more integral to 16V.

The line is said by a woman in town in localspeak, punctuated by derisive laughter. Then the line is repeated in voice-over as Mayil 'dreams'.
Now the voice-over is "refined" and polished. The comment about ChappaaNi is not there. IIRC even with the original line, by the end of when it is spoken the speaker is out of frame. So it is also kinda a voice-over.

It is a character study, a stupendous one no doubt, but its allure has little to do with the rustic setting. The bucolic milieu is far more integral to 16V.
The question is one of Bharathiraja's greatness as a director - it got sidetracked into pioneer status - and I feel he falls short, and that is something Feeyar himself has pronounced judgement on so no disagreements there.
Being pioneer etc., question is to what end. The movement he pioneered didnt end up in significant wins either in his movies or the ones who got influenced. These can be taken as product of times and no different from the products we ended up in the studio era with. We can always come up with some special moments - and heck, I am not a BR hater, and I do catch his movies when they come on TV unlike many other old and older movies - but as a overall package, he falls short, and that is what Grouch outlined in his essay, although grouch being grouch, he went a little too postal on Faradhirasa in his own inimitable way.

the acting in his movies is indeed funny since he has a outdated thinking on that front i believe......but his storytelling through montages and a series of jump cuts is so thrilling and fascinating........he is dramatic in these moments and as well as silent/suggestive in other moments.....his films are honest and the nuances take care of themselves - he weaves a heady mix of raw characters, believable conflicts and then connects the dots in a dramatic and cinematic way which is fantastic......
also, the music/BGM in his movies is fantastic.......i rate BR-AR combo over most combos in tamil cinema

While an astonishing self-effacing performance, that didn't allow any parameters of depth. Which is why I prefer many other performances over it.

Just the argument of best performance of kamal incited me to watch few guna scenes.
The prelude to appanendrum amaiyendrum song starts 5 minutes before with conversation between kamal and doctor...
after a long long single shot..
"abirami abirami abirami abirami"...dhashes on the door....falls off .....

Nerd,
On Naicker, Brando homage and influence is eyebrow/jaw movement as older Velu chews the betel leaf. Naicker crying out over the dead son picks up on Corleone over Sonny's death. Granted. But it all seemed to come from the character and not the actor playing it. But even the latter isn't much of an excuse to write-off the performance. It seemed very cohesive to me.
Btw what's the Pacino influence in the performance? Didn't find any. One also finds Naicker (character) less scheming & less ruthless than Corleone. And far more deterministic (like in ways none of the Corleone's were) - how situations conjures the don Velu Naicker.
It's also heartening to speculate how Coppola/Pacino thought int the same angle as Mani/Kamal, as you see in GF3, Michael's huge wail over dead daughter is the closest Hollywood ever got into replicating Naicker's over his son. And as Mani would mute it into Raaja's wonderfully orchestrated piece, Coppola breaks into opera (& closing credits). Both Nayagan and GF play out like a tragic opera.

What do you mean passing the buck? You made a blanket statement - adhukku apdi dhaan badhil solla mudiyin. Why does it rankle that some people(not even kamal fans) hold him better writer/director than muniratnam/fraudhirasa? Why should someone not prefer kamal writeen movies as his best performance? Why did you attribute motives to that? (Kamal fans dont agree 16v is best performance because kamal didnt write it apdinnu)m naina, indha pAchA ellAm namma kitta palikkAdhu.

kid- I was not talking about the character development. I am not able to tell you the exact scenes but will come back to that later if I watch either of the films soon. But when I saw GF for the first time after watching Nayagan multiple times I could see Kamal borrowing some expressions from Pacino (as a young) and Brando (clearly). I am not saying this was uncalled for, just that I found those a little jarring and I had to push it to #2 in my list of Kamal's greatest performances. 16V is as original as it can be and Pacino/Brando could not have done even if they stand upside down :P

P.S: My favorite Senapathy scene is towards the end - the one with Manisha Koirala with the story about the mustache. Vintage Sujatha.

I partly agree with your statement. But you picked a bad example (Indian). Indian thaatha was good acting alright but still for Kamal's own standards it's really nothing other than experimenting with a prosthetic make-up. Kamal himself has stated that he was "surprised" to win a National Award for Indian. There is nothing against Shankar here. Originally Posted by venkkiram

it is a remake of vietnam veedu sundharam's "naam pirandha mann" Sivaji had a credible backstory and a genuine character development in that movie. In fact much of the father-son conflict was developed from the 70s movie.. I felt it felt very genuine with shivaji playing father and kamal the vagabond son. Over here, shankar brings in dual acting, computer graphics etc., to dilute and make it silly. What i liked more in Indian was Nedumudi venu's persistence in nabbing senapathy and his methods. That is where sujatha had a free run and he did not disappoint me one bit. However what is wrong in using nasser himself directly instead of using his voice for nedumudi?

Amazing. no great "repeat" lines that can be used except "engaatha aadu valartha". Chappaani was a case of "being" a character than exposing any drama . A reference point for actors when it came to playing "village idiot". There was one more character in the 70s that comes close to chappani in this context, the character played by anumanthu in "Chilakamma cheppindi" or "Nizhal Nijamaagiradhu" to be more precise.

Look it is no argument that Kamal is the best around and when he is collaborating with someone reasonably able an impressive performance will result. இப்பொ நடிச்சாலும் reward கிடைக்கலாம். அதுக்காக? But if he is not writing an ordinary film will result. That is all.
And in the 'ordinary' filmலாம் நான் எந்த கோர்ட்ல வேணும்னாலும் சொல்வேன். 'Carrying along, being thoroughly engaged with the story, being totally taken with no part of me being left behind to say ரொம்ப நல்லா ஆடுனீங்க தம்பி etc. ONLY Kamal fossible.

This doesnt automatically imply

In other words, Feeyar didnt claim that if Kamal writes, extra ordinary film will result ALWAYS.
The correct rebuttal to Feeyar's statement would be

Nerd rebutted it like this - Feeyar said "But if he is not writing an ordinary film will result." This means Feeyar said "If Kamal writes Extraordinary films will result". But "there are ordinary films with Kamal's writing". Therefore, Feeyar is wrong.
This is logically incorrect because the jump from "But if he is not writing an ordinary film will result." to "If Kamal writes Extraordinary films will result" is Nerd's - not Feeyar's.
Mathematical Logic, the subject, has a concept called contra-positive
In which:
"A implies B" - Statement 1.
The contrapositive of this statement
"Not B implies Not A" - Statement 2
If Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is also true. Always. A contrapositive of a statement is always in the same truth state as the original statement
A typical mistake people make is to take statement 1
"A implies B" - Statement 1.
And think the contrapositive for this is
"Not A Implies Not B" or in other words "B implies A", the contrapositive of "Not A implies Not B" - Statement 2

Scale, yup. It was remade in Malayalam maybe a year before 16V. I've not seen it, but was reported by Murali-sar in NT's thread. Apparently the performances in the remake and 16V is not much different, so you can take BR as talendmaker out. For someone who said Kamal was different for the first time in this movie here's tonty fai ruppees. Obviously you have not seen Avargal or Uyarnthavargal, and even the remake which all came before 16V.

Athe. It should be noted that the man started out very young, not in the 70s. He was perhaps the first child artiste to do a dual role, sharing same scenes too, aaand performing a stunt at the climax. The kid did overshadow NT and GG in that movie. Not an easy feat, normal adult actors-e seyya mudiyathu, he pulled it off effortlessly when he was what? Eight? Nine?. Barathiraja credit for making Kamal look/act different is rejetted.

Thanks groucho for the tip. I think you have rushed up your views ignoring some of the good aspects in his films. Even if you exclude KH's (acting & talent) here others performances stood out brilliantly. Sir, own pitchla semma strong 12thman battingnaalum ready and that cracked up his over confidence by not approaching some genuine talents.

Groucho,
Nevermind! We have totally different views about BR. He is one director whom I adore a lot. The midas touch is clearly indicative in all/most of his films. Nativity is his forte and he was bit unfortunate/overly confident for not approaching some genuine assisting talents in other areas.

Plum - My implication was right.

P_R or you for that matter did not even talk about the converse (that even Kamal makes ordinary films) until yesterday. I got what I wanted to hear from you, so subam.
Grouch - AvargaL? You gotta be kidding me. Rajini pwns Kamal in that film and Kamal was fairly one-dimensional in that role. 16V is his greatest performance ever - and I think that was his first out-of-comfort-zone film. Why do you need to bring his sild ferformances? Also Baga Pirivinai - I see only remote resemblances and yeah I agree that most actors after NT borrowed a few things from him.

Nerd, you are still not getting it. Logically, your rebuttal is still wrong only. You cannot negate "If Kamal doesnt write, ordinary movie results" with "Ordinary movie resulted with kamal writing". This was logically wrong. Is Logically wrong. Will always be logically wrong.

Besides, I have dissed Panchathantram several times in Hub so you are again factually wrong about me not acknowledging Kamal's ordinary movies. One more to your mistake count

Bala - Very consistent
Mysskin - Anjathey was very good, Nandhalala good in parts. Like him more as a director than writer.
Vetrimaaran - Haven't seen AadukaLam but going by the reports (nambathaguntha friends say the film is brilliantly written)
Selvaraghavan - Again more misses than hits
Susee - NMA was well written for the most part and his next is very promising.

Grouch bhai,
The effect of 16V (can't downplay it) could be seen before and after. Yeah, if not BR, someone(if not he himself) would have eventually written a character like that. Avargal is a good performance (and one that he made more of it, despite it being a fairly simple 'lover' character) but isn't challenging in the sense 16V is. It's still his first tour-de-force performance (haven't seen his early Malayalam films like Yaetta, Kanyakumari and all, but seen bits & pieces. He seemed very yeng. So will reserve judgment until I see fully). But there have been many better performances since.

AnjaadhE - BR level bad acting apart - was very impressive.
And yes I enjoyed these movies more than I did MX and Dasa.
I'd rather he makes his own films. For him to act in a வெளிப்படம் it has to be something that will more than compensate his not making a film. No one strikes me as upto that task.
இதுல எது எது எது எதுங்கறதே எனக்கு பெருங்குழப்பம். அதுனால நான் இந்த விளையாட்டுக்கே வரலை.Like him more as a director than writer.

Unseletted.... these are what I mean by good, able, competent etc but nowhere near what we are talking about. But absolutely nothing that shows the kind of promise that make me interested in a potential collaboration with Kamal.And there are other one film wonders like Balaji Sakthivel (Kadhal), GVM (VTV and parts of Minnale), Ameer (most parts of PV) etc.
I guess I am not communicating the 'deep impact' thing clearly. To resort to cliche: it should 'disturbing'. The difference between saying..'ah..good, well made' instead of "#### ! whatta movie !" The kind of movie that has one thinking about its themes, ideas, characters, situations sparks you off on a conversation with the material, encourages you to go on a tangent etc. Kamal's golden run in the early 90s was invariably like this. For all its flaws, Katradhu thamizh was the only non-Kamal movie that managed to do that to me in the 2000s.

What BR/BM ellam writing extra-ordinary stuff uhh? IMO, their forte is mostly images/visuals amd mostly importantly direction than writing.

Of the current generation even Bala is more of a good director and leans more strongly towards the visual/presentation side than the writing per se.
After KB (Senior) and to a lesser extent KB2 (K. Bhagyaraj) - it's Kamal for screen-play. Consistently good/nuanced screen-play writers-nu kuripithu sollura maadhiri current generation-le yaarum ille, IMO.

What's this increased "BR bashing" of late?
I don't get it, did he create any controversy by some stage/media talk?
(esp HC KHF's seem to be very strongly against him nowadays).
If we want to make fun by picking on, Balachandar is no exception. (For that matter every TF director / writer can be easily made fun of).

I find this BR bashing an exercise stretched out to farcical levels here...
No one wants to make a movie that will be relevant 10 to 15 years from now to a bunch of internet forum diggers.
BR and KB made movies that essentially paved way for mahendrans and balu mahendras to come in establish themselves.
To be fair to them, talents like Mahendran ran out of juice much quicker than KB and BR.
These were directors who put the right owner of a movie in the spotlight - its director.
I feel that this whole bashing is a carefully engineered agenda of a group that wants to drumbeat an actor who is still hesitant to come
out of his "director's clost " confidently. Oh yeah, I mean Kamal by that..

Nerd, firstly when it was just me who has a strong misgiving about contemporary directors and have expressed uncharitable opinions about them you suggested that Kamal fans as a group are likely to not give 'outside' performances due credit.
This was followed by Roshan and venkkiram stating how he has had good performances 'outside' in the past. I had to clarify something that I thought was obvious: that I was referring to what Kamal should be doing NOW.
That 'Kamal doesn't make a double century every time' is no rebuttal to the fact there is 'no one around who is any good'. Of course its a purely logical thing not worth swinging and quite a moot point considering the opinion that 'there isn't much difference between Kamal films nowadays and those of others'. Which again, I claim is NOT obvious from your statement and needed inferring.atsownback:
Huh? Nice try Nerd.I have always been talking about Kamal Vs non-Kamal (NOT Kamal acted/x directed) films all this while. Why the VV example? Classic case of misunderstanding.
(You know) I brought up VV as the kind of atrocious waste of time that will result when Kamal works with others -something I do not want him to do. Lesser movie as it is, with all its flaws Dasa is definitely is a 'better wastage' of his time. This has been pretty much my point all the time. After all isn't the whole discussion about Kamal working in sondhappadam versus ayalaar padam?
The first time you specifically put it as AnjaadhE/PidhAmagan vs. Kamal films I did answer, didn't I?
en ego ellAm alteration paNNa mudiyAdhu. adhu konjam perusu.
And - this one will surely be misunderstood - while Flau is question the logic of your counterargument, you are calling him an 'attention seeker'.
Anyway, let's get back...
Venkkiram has a long list of 'films on the other side' which are also very good. While I too like many of them - I repeat myself when I say - none are as close.
Anyway, Kamal's strategy seems to be engarej and work with budding talents, so many of you only have reason to rejoice. (except Nerd, who I hopefully correctly understand feels its best if Kamal and directors out of each others' way - for reasons more optimistic than mine).

You may be interested.
Except Balaji Sakthivel & Vasantha Balan no one does exceptional stuff IMO but still I have lot of hopes on others contemporaries like Radha Mohan, Ameer, Myskin & Vetrimaran now. And of course Bala who is totally in different world. They may not have the commercial viability or star power in their movies but they doing pretty good. I would even give a chance to Simbhu Devan.

That 'Kamal doesn't make a double century every time' is no rebuttal to the fact there is 'no one around who is any good'. Of course its a purely logical thing not worth swinging and quite a moot point considering the opinion that 'there isn't much difference between Kamal films nowadays and those of others'. Which again, I claim is NOT obvious from your statement and needed inferring.atsownback:
Huh? Nice try Nerd.
(You know) I brought up VV as the kind of atrocious waste of time that will result when Kamal works with others -something I do not want him to do. Lesser movie as it is, with all its flaws Dasa is definitely is a 'better wastage' of his time. This has been pretty much my point all the time. After all isn't the whole discussion about Kamal working in sondhappadam versus ayalaar padam?
The first time you specifically put it as AnjaadhE/PidhAmagan vs. Kamal films I did answer, didn't I?
en ego ellAm alteration paNNa mudiyAdhu. adhu konjam perusu.
And - this one will surely be misunderstood - while Flau is question the logic of your counterargument, you are calling him an 'attention seeker'.
Anyway, let's get back...
Venkkiram has a long list of 'films on the other side' which are also very good. While I too like many of them - I repeat myself when I say - none are as close.
Anyway, Kamal's strategy seems to be engarej and work with budding talents, so many of you only have reason to rejoice. (except Nerd, who I hopefully correctly understand feels its best if Kamal and directors out of each others' way - for reasons more optimistic than mine).
Padam drop aagum news varumbOdhu vandhu pOduvadhai thaviRa inimE enakku solradhukku oNNum illai.
I dont have much to add to this
In general - I will plead guilty on lack of politeness. However, it was necessitated in the face of repeated attempts to throw an unsticking accusation that we are not understanding your view point when we understood it long back and were helpful to you by articulating it in a right way - which means we were able to understand your view point even though you expressed it illogically. adhai oputhukkAma when you shoot a bilnd arrow in the dark hoping it will stick so that you need not admit your illogic, I'll have to be impolite. If it makes me an unpleasant know-it-all so be it. That is me - and if you do the same thing to me, I will not complain. That is , if you prove me wrong, I will not obfuscate the issue with senseless counter punches without meaning.
Such obfuscation and attempts to wriggle out of an argument where one has been proven wrong with an attempt to obfuscate the issue boils the blood more than lack of politeness - vide, I have taken enough punches from Anban and co and dont take issue when there is an internal logic to their rebuttals even if expressed impolitely.
And yes I am militant about this - because it is my mission to replace politeness with calling-a-spade-a-spade in public discourse. If I succeed in converting one person in my lifetime, I will be succesful.

To me, it is not a moot point. And I suspect with you too. Remember the 176000 Spectrum oozhal thingy. Even though the general import of the spectrum accusers is something you agreed with, you were annoyed by the illogical(and deliberately pedagogic in some caes) assertions that 176000 cr was swindled.Of course its a purely logical thing not worth swinging and quite a moot point
176000 or 17600 cr was immaterial to the basic argument there - but logic is offended when someone insists on 176000 oozhal and you were annoyed by the illogic of those assertions. And I can understand that. Ofcourse, you were polite about articulating your annoyance - that was the difference

sarna, first of all, the movie was based on a true story. Ofcourse, cinematic exaggeration irundhirukkum but the basic thread of a well-pampered young girl running away with a man purportedly beneath her social status - that wasnt an exaggeration so yes, your question was "why would she fall in love with a mechanic?" and the answer is "it happens. and this movie itself was based on one such happening".
Secondly, the struggles in Chennai are post-facto after taking the decision to run away. The girl, especially, wouldnt have budgeted for it and I think the friction does come across although a reasonable resolution is provided for that

What's wrong with having a love duet there, I say?! These are precisely the elements that make this film far more humane than the moralistic bandwagons of the likes of Cheran, and the emotions in display far more authentic than the usual run-of-the-mill love stories. And this is why kAdhal is such an astonishing accomplishment. It locates the typical love story of Tamil cinema in an almost shockingly realistic mise-en-scène. Originally Posted by Sarna

kid-glove, my complaint has always been with regard to using 'realism' as an umbrella term in film criticism pertaining to Tamil (and to a lesser extent, Indian) cinema. Where people use good and realistic more or less interchangeably. There's no need to demonstrate this even, just go and read a random review of some critically acclaimed Tamil film, all you'd hear is "oh, the film is very realistic," and so on. Baradwaj Rangan once made a point how even the word "cinematic" has come to mean something undesirable! That sort of linear thinking is what I'm totally against. That doesn't mean I'm not appreciative of realism as a distinct style. It'd be a pity to be able to appreciate a film like kAdhal without appreciating its sense of realism.

Sarna's reaction to the film is particularly odd/funny because kAdhal is one of those films that has a detached viewpoint and doesn't really show the film from the couple's viewpoint pitted against the rest of the society as most love stories do. I've mentioned this earlier, the matter-of-fact cut to 3 years later with Aishwarya, her husband and kid is telling. No melodrama whatsoever, nothing like you'd see in a Romeo-Juliet kind of love story. And like I said, it's also often criticized for sending out the wrong message by stripping off the usual rosiness and of course having a sad end. I actually see the point there to a certain extent, but it just didn't come off as a particularly conservative ending to me. I think it exposes the ugliness just too much for us to come out with the feeling that, "see, that's what happens if you fall in love!" But I'm willing to hear more on that front.

A review from IMDB which talks more about this. Originally Posted by equanimus
And the reviewer is not an Indian.Balaji Shaktivel's Kaadhal seems to me to be one of the best films of the decade so far. It is certainly a highly realistic portrayal of urban life in southern India and, as such, is rare enough in itself. But the realism is not simply achieved by pointing the camera at the subject. There is real artistry in the way the film is put together.
Talking to young folk in India recently (not in Tamil Mandu but not a million miles away) I was struck by the desperateness of their search for some kind of intimacy (in the French sense of the word - 'privacy' we would more normally say in English). The omnipresence even in large towns of a 'small town' mentality, of watching eyes and busybodies ready to intervene at the slightest infraction of social codes. The absence of any places for young people to meet and be alone....
It is this atmosphere that Shaktivel catches so masterfully in the film. The way the camera allows us to see the gossiping women, the staring eyes, the curious neighbours at every stage of the film is an absolute marvel and creates better than any explanation could that stifling atmosphere of permanent surveillance of which my young friends had complained.
The magnificently realised scenes in the men's hostel are a sense the key moment of the film and the grimly farcical search for even a moment of intimacy (just so the girl can have a pee in the first instance) are actually very symbolic of this micro-political theme that runs through the film. The way a mini-flashback is used to show us a little of the history of the various men in the hostel and acquaint the audience with its inmates shows a deftness and economy that is characteristic of Shaktivel's thoughtful approach to directing.
The macro-political theme (the conflicts of class and caste) is equally well done. The superb scene in the car where the hypocritical uncle show his true colours is terrifyingly real and more frightening in its way than more overtly violent scenes elsewhere in the film.
The acting is consistently good (from the young boy at the garage to the friend in Chennai, from the grandmother from hell to the creepy uncle and the brutal father). The principals are both very good but the acting of Bharath is really exceptional. There is not a single moment where he overacts (and there are opportunities in plenty) or uses facile mannerisms or unnecessary gestures. It is a piece of naturalistic acting of the very first order (and a later Bharath film I have seen where ha plays a deaf and dumb boy - though not in itself such a good film - very much confirms his stature as an actor).
Kaadhal is a film that deserves to be much more widely known. I only hope this comment will encourage others to go out and find the film (available on DVD).

Not to mention that, in a classic instance of self-reflexiveness, this is echoed within the film (by way of Murugan's friend and Murugan's own hesitations) in an extremely oversimplified (and also a matter-of-fact) fashion. And I think it's a profound mistake to take that at face value. I'd argue that the film instead urges the audience all through to rethink this idea. This is one of the key motifs of the film as it attempts to reexamine the standard tropes and cliches of the quintessential Tamil film love story. Originally Posted by equanimus

One statement on kAdhal that has stayed with me is what Bala (Karthik) said about it in some discussion on films of 2000s. "Kaadhal, on the other hand is a magnificent force." I think it particularly resonated with me because "force" is such an apt expression for describing the film. This is a film that doesn't aim for subtlety, refined narrative or any such thing. (Audience: "Mani Ratnam?" Balaji Sakthivel: "No, please, thank you!") What you instead get is a deluge of detail, an extraordinary sense of immediacy, which make it such an unnerving watch.

But கற்றது தமிழ் is also often cloying in ways that have no place whatsoever in the gritty universe of காதல். For all its flourishes, கற்றது தமிழ் to my mind is a very uneven film, especially so compared to something like காதல் which seldom takes a misstep.

Oh KT is a more uneven, flawed film. நான் இல்லைன்னு சொல்லவே இல்லை.
I just pulled it as an example of something that 'disturbed' me/ carried me away (of course இந்த மாதிரி phenomenon எல்லாம் உங்க அகராதில உண்டான்னு தெரில :P ). I brought it up as an example of the film that had moments,themes etc. where you are a step above cool contemplation of what's good, enjoyable, well done etc.

And my panchayat started last month in Kamal thread when I asked you to stop discrediting current filmmakers and I have been continuing that in this thread. That's my ONLY point and I did explain it in detail in Haasan thread and also in this thread. Also I have been asking why are you NOT talking about the converse of your point - That even if Kamal writes, ordinary film can result. You finally said that in your words, I was wanting to get that from you and when I got that I said subam and everybody happy. And if somebody quotes that post today and questions my logic, is that not attention seeking?

though kadhal is a movie which moved me emotionally and gave me a feeling of watching a once in a while movie, i would not highlight it in most of my discussions for i have a feeling that it could be a bad example for school kids on love/elope eventhough they get everything at home. u can say that the actual message of the movie is different which highlights that doesn work. what i mean is, the school kids would need read it for the message, they would only pick the scene which gets them excited about. and tv channels repeatedly telecast the love and elope scenes as superscenes and not the climax or message or watever.
i agree that a filmmaker need not always make a socially responsible movie.
what irks me is, what if...
there are many movies which could motivate people to involve into serial killing, and i never had prob with that cos, its their own way of understanding things in wrong way and taking it for their life. here i say, the kids are not in a age to analyse wats right.

k_g, don't bother. Possibly I like it because it touched certain things I obsess about.
ஒரு misplaced anger, angst, personal obsessions being given a larger social vehicle, chronic sense of superiority which spirals out of control when he does not get the 'proportionate respect' that he expects, the absurdness of sincerety, love in the times of cholera, pearls before the swine, family as a resignation to ordinaryness- the primal terror of the dibarand youth estra estra estra.

Nerd, I believe the contentious posts were the ones in this thread.
You started out with 16V saying Kamal fans will credit only Kamalwritten performance. Apart from attributing my 'prejudices' to the whole group it was not at all what I was trying to say in my sig. Then Roshan mentioned how his NA performances came from outside directors. For which I had to mention I was obviously referring to what he should do with his time.
And it is in this context (i.e. sondhappadam versus ayalaar padam) that countergument that 'he does not make a 200 everytime' was put forth.

1. In this large sea of heresy let me send in one more rivulet. For me, VirumANdi is a more absorbing film than Hey Raam.
2. The only films that are in the same league are PithAmagan and kAdhal. These are essentially very different films, very different sensibilities. They have concerns that are all very different. If anything I think this alone is reason enough to say that Kamal should not work with anyone else. The twain shall never meet when it comes to Balaji SakthivEl's/Bala's preoccupations.
And the KT/KAdhal discussion was certainly more entertaining than the 'theory of logic 101' discussions so let me just say - channel-a mAthungappA!

Not really a heretic opinion to hold. I've heard quite a few (and I'm talking about people whose views I really respect) say this. Hey! Ram has this quality of a sprawling, ambitious epic in that it touches upon so many things, a lot of which is based on real-life events in an overt sense. So people generally shy away from comparing it with fictions that are set in more mundane, historically less significant (insofar as one can risk such a judgement) scenarios. (Okay, confession time: that's how I'd start arguing when people describe Hey! Ram as a "never before or after in Indian cinema" kind of event. I believe PR has already been subjected to this rigmarole. Originally Posted by complicateur

In fact I see it as a steady progression away. ESOTSM was not as thoroughly engaging as Adaptation - which I think the world of.
So in many ways I am praying for 'a return', there is just no doubt whatsoever that he is gifted and what I obsess about in Adaptation are things 'really there'.
There's a Jeyamohan novelette about a leader of a mutt who dies. One scholar is privy to his last words and is in search of the successor. One part of him wants to uphold the mutt. At the same time one part of the scholar has a deeprooted doubt about the alleged gnAni who was a 'mere' cowherd. A doubt he does not even give voice to himself. He struggles to interpret the last words, searches the source of the late guru's knowledge, racks his own brain chock-full with shasthras, all this while fending off politically motivated claimants to the position. Slightly வளவள. But one helluva ride through scholasticism, doubt, faith, intellectual evaluation with a slightly predictable but still hilarious ending.

I think it's true for vast majority that they'd not quite love (but admire) 'Hey! Raam' like the way they'd of 'Virumandi'. Given a choice, I'd any day prefer to watch the latter. However, at a risk of allowing Equa to run rings around with his ringaroses, er rigmaroles, if I were to pick the more significant, important film - I'd side with the former.

Oh, but let's begin from the beginning. In the film (and coming to think of it, I'm really glad the film doesn't take convenient routes like an understanding parent trying to tell her that this is not the right age for marriage or some fun!), the two choose to elope only because the girl's family is on the verge of getting her married to a relative of theirs.

One more BR defence
The charge against him here by some hubbers is that his films "didn't age well".
May be.
The question is why should they? Why should everyfilm be a scotch and not iLaneer or tropicana / minute maid?
Old wine is good , but old juice will be trashed.
Some of his products were "fresh" (trend setting / path breaking etc) and there's no need to "age well".
And that criteria should not take away the great achievements of this director
(IMO, very rarely we see artists who do fresh stuff that also age well, with unique "dual" characteristics...and hi-hi, IR was one)

In the last few years, my most revisited film is MMKR - it's on a VHS cassette and almost worn out.
"அத்தெல்லாம் மீறலை" - total laugh riot whenever Kameswaran is on screen.
Towards the end, all four will become "Madhan" (One original and all other three in disguise). Still, a viewer will distinguish each one simply by their "characteristics". No small feat!
I always felt watching the four individual characters and not Kamal. (Some artificialism -typical of Kamal when doing "foreign-return characters" - was manifest only in Madhan while he "lived" the other three).

If you watch the 'pani vizhum iravu' song of the hub's top rated director, you can see both - real class when Mohan / Revathy appear on screen and absolute trash when others dance on screen. Originally Posted by HonestRaj

Some may "age well" but that alone should not be a criteria to estimate the greatness of the artist. That's just one of the parameters.

Actually Madhan set a huge precedent to all *Peter* guys. There wasn't a character acted as naturally 'hip' as Madhan before or after in Tamil cinema. Well, forget Tamil cinema, but in whole of Indian cinema (incl. Lal's, Mamm's ad rest) as far as I am concerned.

TTT's a guilty pleasure.
And again, I don't see a parallel to 'Madhan' as a truly iconic 'hipster'. And it's not just the way of dressing, for you could make out the other three as different human beings from Madhan in last third (as they all pose as 'Madhan').

Malaysia VasudEvan is part actor in that song. Extends the landing notes in all the right places. Doesn't overdo it like his more famous colleague is wont to do in such situations sometimes. Lovely stuff from him.
Too many stars aligned just right for that film. Neraya planning irunthAlum one cant but help believe that providence was a co-conspirator in the larger sense in that movie. Quite simply a cinematic achievement by any stretch of imagination.
Venkkiram - The camera was handled by B.C.Gowrishankar. I believe he was a frequent Singeetham collaborator. http://www.hindu.com/2004/11/17/stor...1717030300.htm (via equanimus)

Easan: Too lengthy even on DVD. Enjoyed the first half. some good dialogues, interesting characters/sub plots(though too many). but then the interval was kind of a warning of things to come. second half goes on an entirely different track, ends up as a run of the mill revenge story with a lengthy flashback and a predictable climax...yawn! Some decent performances...kind of shocked/surprised to see Blessy in the film...have never seen him in front of the camera...don't know how Sasi came up with the idea of casting him in that role...he was okay tho!

कुछ कुछ होता है (kuch kuch hota hai)
Shahrukh Khan / Kajol / Rani Mukherjee & Salman Khan
1998 movie (I'm watching this a week after watching another Sharukh Khan triangle love comedy "dil to pAgal hai" of 1997)
A bit too long but not boring, Kajol & Shahrukh keep it going. Some good laughter here and there.

The initial scenes of kuch kuch hota hai are unintentionally funny - i.e. w.r.t. the appearance / acting of Rani Mukherjee who has a serious condition and is about to die!
If one wants to nitpick this movie, there are tons of places.
And I believe this is the debut film of a director who is "celebrated by hub paNdithars" and made in a "globalized India of 1998" with access to all kinds of film tech. etc (unlike the import-starved India of pre-PVN period and movies made by BR are picked on often for technical inadequacies).

Hey KB admirers who take every chance to bash BR's song picturizations, enjoy this massacre of a phenomenal IR song :

Nan Mahan Alla (Astro Vellithirai).
1. Song sequences were useful for me to raid the fridge for snacks.
2. Absolutely ordinary film, made special by the leads performance and some comedy.
3. Others performances doesn't register.
4. Including off screen technicians.
5. Also the highly anticipated climax. I went, "eh?".
5. One reason to watch this: Karthi. Effortless, knowing well to work within his limits, a talent not many possess.

Yudham Sei - Very good thriller
I wont tell abt the story but the theme is "revenge".
Cheran done a wonderful job being the depressed, coldhearted, cynical at the same time emotional cop to perfection. supporting cast: Jayaprakash, YGM, Lakshmi (cant remember surname), Manicka Vinayagam, deepa shah and her collegue all delivered good performances.
biggest plus points about the movie is the way its presented, and bgm. every seconds of the movie feel vital because of this technique.
there is also a big minus: the song, it doesnt fit at all in the movie (but still ameer kalakkittaar antha paattula)
I seen 3 movies by Mysskin (Chitram Pesuthedi, Anjathey, Yudham Sei), and all are great movies. He and Selvaraghavan are in their own class, not easy to compare with other directors.
pin kurippu " just because a movie doesnt have glamour, action sequences, separate comedy track, doesnt make it good, its the story+screenplay that counts!! (i hate reading reviewers writing like that!!!!!!)

While the songs were composed by IR, there was some issue of "lack of availability of IR" to do the BGM (reported by kisu-kisu's). It led to the now-legendary-ladAi between IR & KB which led to Kavidhalaya choosing a new composer for rOjA. Originally Posted by Sarna

So far have seen 50 mins of nandalaala and must say that it is the most evolved cinema that i have seen so far. visuals combined with music deliver far reaching metaphors that when spoken loud might become totally stripped of their poetry.
One small example. The traveling duo cant proceed because of the caste clash that is happening. While everyone else is busy waiting for the road to be cleared or cribbing about it, the duo look to the side of the road and see something obscure and walk towards it, the shape becomes clear and it is a physically challenged person who tells them that there is another route they can take by foot to avoid the communal clash. Then the duo march on led by the "polio " affected guide. They then encounter a mother who is being harassed by two men. When challenged, one of them injure the physically challenged guide in his weak leg, at which point Myshkin's character jumps in and saves the day.. This might sound mighty stupid on a superficial viewing. but consider the metaphors.
The traveling Duo = love (conditional - motherly love of the boy and unconditional love of the grown up man)
The physically challenged man = Conscience (truthfulness)
The conscience is symbolized as a handicapped person cursing himself and inactive. Once the duo inspire him, he springs up as a guide, yet as most humans have in them, is challenged and frequently tired to carrying on.. The violators of the mother's honor do not attack the physically able man, but the physically challenged guide (as if he is a threat in that situation) - thereby indicating that our conscience is the first thing to suffer when we succumb to evil traits.
Have to see the remaining movie, but I have never seen a thamizh movie that has such a subtle conversation with its audience through visuals, metaphors and offcourse music. The music that comes when the duo escape the police constable is a RIOT!!

Nandhalala - Nice
It was not as emotional as one would have thought (key moments la impact ellam perusa illa) but actually it was largely very interesting. The abruptness and convenience of Ashwath Ram's "realization" and turn around, Snigdha's narration and the very final scene were rather odd. Mysskin has got a very pleasing style. Riot scene remba vithyasama irundhuchu paakka.
Raasa - As eesual. Mella Oorndhu oorndhu is more enjoyable in the movie than as a song (there's a sangadhi when Swaamigal sings the pallavi. not sure if its there in the audio version. what a touch!)
Aadu Kalam - Kood! Romance track didn't work at all, though

The scene worked to me because of two reasons - The way the lorry driver hits Mysskin (remba paavamaa irukkum) and the prelude of onnukkonnu (What a song) immediately after that dialogue. But the manamaattram/shock etc happens only in books/fables, was not very convincing.

'manamaattram' is only after he realizes that he's dealing with a mentally challenged guy, I think. And the change of heart ties in with the overwhelming 'maternal' tolerance/concerns (the constant underpinning throughout) that seeps into even the most hotheaded.

initially he thot that this myskin was like a thief and he wanted to teach a lesson. and when he asks him to take it again only to beat him if he manages to touch, he get furiated to see myskin doing the mistake in front of him and hence starts beating. then when he says, 'nee dhane edukka sonna', he understands his innocence and did not do anything in wrong intention.

Payanam - a flight entertainer
simple story about a hijack and how the civils are rescued from terrorists, but what makes me watch whole movie are the characters that are involved and the screenplay by radha mohan.
lead characters have done great job, I consider the civil people in the flight as lead characters too. radha mohan movies always carries humour, payanam is no exception. piruthuviraj, chams, bramanantham, manobala, "ranganathan" character are pretty funny.
editing, camera, music all clicks well. opening song has interesting lyrics.
radha mohan done great job once again. expecting equally good movie from radha mohan next time.

main reason maybe the casting of terrorists... was very funny...
and prakashraj was not very impressive, i liked him in mozhi, azhgiya theeye and Abhiyum naanum...
nagarjuna was perfect...
some logical holes too...
but good effort by the director.

Tamil film, the ultimate escapism, personal and professional stress buster. Though the cinematic excesses and melodrama surface in the film , YS is a largely rewarding experience
The most irrelevant aspect of the film (the item song) is still all trademark mysskin, still keeps pulling one back. Superbly composed, choreographed and executed visually (though one could have predicted the 'surprise' character in that song much earlier, the way the characters thrown in unobtrusively is sabaash)

Jeeva's, not to discredit the actor, is one of the most annoying characters in the history of TFI, after all those Baby Shalinis. But one thing, though, Oorvasi was awesome. Few scenes, she stole the show. What a fantastic actress. Sense of humour exudes effortlessly. They just don't know what to do with here, do they?

One aspect that has gained unconditional support - Fee Gee Em - was good but needlessly incessant to me. Examples
1) Cheran and assistants enquire at the spot where Auto was found. On-beat policeman explains that the auto was facing teynampet when found. Intriguing violin music with shades of poignancy. Unnecessary at that point of time
2) Cheran and assitants steal into a house and go around looking for clues(?) - again aimless BGM
Silence would have done in both places but the chap is young, and guess will learn.

Very fresh and entertaining after repeated viewing.
One doubt (Not sure if it has been already discussed): Madhavan donates blood to the boy. The previous night, he consumes alcohol. How is that possible? Is that the reason why the boy dies, because Madhavan doesn't reveal the same to Kamal or the nun.

RR,
I am not saying that the boy died only because of Maddy's negligence. But i was questioning the logic. Thats all.. Somehow the makers missed it i guess.

oh.. ok Ajay.. looks like the time frame was NOT too clear. He had drinks later in the night but possibly, the blood donation could have happened within 12 hours. If so, as you said, the writer missed it

"பாய்ஸ்" படத்தில் ரங்கநாதன் தெரு "மல்கோவா ஆன்டிகளை" விடலைப் பசங்க "சாணை பிடிப்பதை" சிலபஸில் சேர்க்கலாம். ஆனா, தக்காளி, "செங்கடல்" மட்டும் ரிலீஸாகக்கூடாதுடா! சமூகம் கெட்டு குட்டிச்சொவறாப்போயிடும்!

ஒரு திரைப்படம் நம்மக்குள் ஒரு ஈர்ப்பை ஏற்ப்படுத்துகிறது என்பதற்கு இரண்டு வாரங்களுக்கு முன் சோனி தொலைக்காட்சியில் நான் கண்டு ரசித்த CHAK DE! INDIA திரைப்படம் ஒரு சிறந்த உதாரணம்.
அதுவும் நான் பார்த்தது கடைசி ஒரு மணி நேரத்துக்கு கொஞ்சம் அதிகமாக இருக்கும்.
முதலில் படம் பார்த்த பிறகு, அடுத்த நாள் அலுவலகம் சென்று நண்பர் ஒருவரிடம் விசாரித்ததில் அவர் இப்படத்தின் பிரதி ஒன்று வைத்திருப்பதாக சொன்னார். அதை மறுநாள் எடுத்து வருமாறு கூறினேன். நல்ல வேளையாக அது ஆங்கில துணை எழுத்துக்களுடன் இருந்தது எனக்கு இன்னும் வசதியாக இருந்தது.
இன்று வரை கிட்ட தட்ட 4 முறை படத்தை பார்த்துவிட்டேன். பிடித்த காட்சிகளை அவ்வப்போது தெரிவு செய்து பார்த்துக்கொண்டும் இருக்கிறேன்.
அதோடு நில்லாமல் படம் வெளிவந்த பொழுது எழுந்த வலை விமர்சனங்களை தேடி தேடி படித்தேன். நம் மையத்தில் தேடினேன்... கிடைக்கவில்லை.
பலருக்கும் ( ~ 90%) படம் பிடிதமானதகவே இருப்பதாக பதிவு செய்திருந்தனர்.
இதில் கவனிக்க வேண்டியது நான் ஆரம்பம் முதல் இறுதி வரை பார்த்த முதல் தமிழ்
அல்லாத இந்திய படம்.
அதோடு நில்லாமல் அதில் நடித்த பெண்களை பற்றி இணையதளத்தில் தேடி தெரிந்துகொண்டேன் (ஆக்கும்.. அத சொல்லு மொதல்ல.. என்று எண்ண வேண்டாம் )
படத்தின் கதை பற்றி உங்களுக்கெல்லாம் தெரிந்திருக்கும் ... இது போன்ற படங்களில் முடிவு எப்படி இருக்கும் என்பது தெரிந்ததே. மகிழ்ச்சியான முடிவுதான் படம் பார்பவர்களுக்கும் மனதிற்கு இனியதாக அமையும். ஆனால் அதை எப்படி காட்சிப்படுத்துகிறார்கள் என்பதுதான் சுவாரஸ்யம்.
என் ஆர்வம் இதோடு நில்லாமல் நேற்றைக்கெல்லாம் இப்படத்தின் Deleted scenes மற்றும் Making of Chak de ஆகியவற்றை You Tube ல் இருந்து பதிவிறக்கம் செய்தேன்.
இப்படத்தில் என்னை கவர்ந்தது Komal Chautala வாக வரும் Chitrashi Rawat ன் நடிப்புதான். 17 வயதே ஆன அவர் State Hockey Player என்பது ஆச்சர்யம். துறு துறு நடிப்பு. சிறு சிறு முகபாவங்கள் கூட சிறப்பாக செய்திருக்கிறார். இந்தியா வெற்றிபெற்றவுடன் அனைத்து Player களும் Goalie யை நோக்கி ஓடுவார்கள். ஆனால் இவரை மட்டும் தனி Shot இல் காண்பிப்பது அழகு. அவர் இப்பொழுது எப்படி இருக்கிறார் என்றும் பார்த்தேன். LUCK படத்தில் ஸ்ருதி கமலஹாசன் உடன் நடித்திருக்கிறார்.
இப்படத்தின் மூலம் தெரிந்து கொண்டது .. ஹாக்கி எழுபது நிமிடங்கள் விளையாடும் விளையாட்டு. இதுநாள் வரை கால்பந்து விளையாட்டை போல் தொண்ணூறு நிமிடங்கள் கொண்டது என்று எண்ணி இருந்தேன்.
இப்படத்தை தமிழில் எடுத்தால்.. அர்ஜுன் பொருத்தமாக இருப்பார் என்பது என் கருத்து.
தேவைக்கு அதிகமாகவே என் கருத்துக்களை தெரிவித்துவிட்டேன்.
இந்தி படத்தை பற்றி முதல் முதலில் இந்த மையத்தில் தமிழில் எழுதியது நானாகதான் இருப்பேன்.

ஹானஸ்ட்ராஜ், இனிமையான தமிழில் அழகாக எழுதியதற்கு
அழகான கதை, நேர்த்தியானத் திரைக்கதை, அற்புதமான நடிப்பு என பல்சுவையும் கலந்த அருமையான படைப்பு. தேசிய ஒருமைப்பாட்டை வலியுருத்திய விதம், இத்திரைப்படத்தின் தனிச்சிறப்பு. ஷாருக்கானுக்கும் நடிப்பு வரும் என நிரூபனம் செய்தப் பெருமையும் இத்திரைப்படத்திற்கு உண்டு. மொத்தத்தில் நான் மிகவும் பார்த்து ரசித்த இந்தி மொழித் திரைப்படம் "ச்சக் தே இண்டியா"வாகும்.
ஷாருக் நடித்த "ஓம் ஷாந்த்தி ஓம்" மசாலா கலந்த கலகலப்பான நல்ல நகைச்சுவைப் படம். நல்ல பிரதி கிடைத்தால் பாருங்கள். நீங்கள் ரசிப்பீர்கள் என நம்புகிறேன்.

One of the most underrated films from the 90's. I loved this film as a child and I find this movie like the ones made in the 60's with Nadigar Thilagam. Though there weren't any great twist and turns the movie flows in a very good pace and Koundamani/Senthil combo's scenes were also hilarious. The Villain's dialogs are good too, especially the "Hamam" one. Originally Posted by groucho070

Happened to watch one more Hindi film < with a friend, no tamil / english film when we went to the theater > :P ... & this time it is " 7 Khoon Maaf "
Terrible mokkai....
Though I am not able understand almost 65% of hindi dialogues.. I was able to easily get the storyline & it is predictable after certain point..
Main plot of the film is almost similar to mid-1990's tamil film, " Kushboo vazhndhu kaattiya 'thaali pudhusu' "
While watching Chak De, I was thinking, how people are watching a film in a different language relatively new to them just with the help of subtitles?.. we won't get the actual essence of the scene ...
even with the amount of Hindi I know, i could see that there were some differences between the actual dialogue & the sub texts.. one good thing is, we can easily understand / learn the language

Yes, thats something -ve and we cannot do much. Its more difficult with "dialects". Even if the translation is correct, the "dialect" has a great impact on the scene if you speak that language, else you just understand but you are not in a position to appreciate it. Originally Posted by HonestRaj

Who is the husband? What is the song?

Avargal revisit after a very long time.
Seriously, Rajini's performance now looks a bit forced. K.B's puppet. This is the film where he got scolding didn't he. Not justified.
Speaking of puppet, Kamal takes the cup here. Fantastic performance, and really dig his Malayalam accent. Especially when he says "VentroLOOquism" in that accent. Rewind panni rewind panni ketten.
Of all the heroines with the K.B styled staring at the distance off camera, I'd pick Sujatha as the winner. There's something haunting about that look. May I say she's the least annoying of all the K.B's heroines? May I?

Yes grouch. You may. She is the one who least resembled KB while pulling off those tricks. Saritha and all clearly show that they are puppets in his hand while pulling off similar tricks. Sujatha managed to pull it off succesfully, although it is clear that these are tutored performances.
Meenakshi Seshadri managed to be KB-free too but that's probably because she is so wooden that the best efforts of KB couldn't stick

I felt that there was a lack of panic among the characters which was needed in situations like this. to RadhaMohan for directing an offbeat film this. Expecting more from his future films.

a rotfl from ajaybaskar
From: ajaybaskar on Mon May 7 5:57:20 2007.
If u exactly want the story of Varanam Aayiram, this is it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_(1997_film)
In the Netherlands of the 1920s, Dreverhaven, a dreaded bailiff, is found dead, with a knife sticking out of his stomach. The obvious suspect is Jacob Willem Katadreuffe (van Huêt), an ambitious young lawyer who worked his way up from poverty, always managing to overcome Dreverhaven's personal attacks against him. Katadreuffe was seen leaving Dreverhaven's office on the afternoon of the murder. He is arrested and taken to police headquarters, where he reflects back on the story of his long relationship with Dreverhaven, who, police learn, is also Katadreuffe's father.
The story began when Katadreuffe's taciturn mother, Joba (played by Schuurman), worked as a housekeeper for Dreverhaven. During that time, they had sex only once, but Joba became pregnant and left her employer to make a living for herself and her son. Time and again she rejected Dreverhaven's offer by mail to marry her and provide the child with a home.
Even as a child, Katadreuffe's path crosses with Dreverhaven, often with dire consequences. When he is arrested for a boyish prank and tells the police that Dreverhaven is his father, Dreverhaven refuses to recognize him as his son. When, as a young man, he unwittingly takes a loan from Dreverhaven's bank to purchase a failed cigar store, Dreverhaven sues him to win the money back. Still, Katadreuffe manages to pay back the debt, finding a clerical position in a law firm. He does this even though most of his education is derived from reading an incomplete set of encyclopedias that he happens to find as a boy in his mother's apartment.
After paying back the debt, Katadreuffe implores Dreverhaven to give him a second loan so that he can pass the bar examination. Dreverhaven agrees, on the condition that he can call back the loan at any time. Despite his efforts to hinder his son, Katadreuffe manages to pass the examination. On the afternoon of the murder he storms into Dreverhaven's office to pay the final installment on the loan. A fight ensues, and Katadreuffe attacks Dreverhaven before leaving. All around people see him as he marches out of the office.
At the end of the film, however, the police discover that Katadreuffe left Dreverhaven at 5:00 p.m., while Dreverhaven died at 11:00 p.m. It transpires that Dreverhaven actually committed suicide. At the end of the film, his will is produced, leaving all of his considerable wealth to his son. The will is signed "Vader" (Father).
and then ajay says, "Got this news from a reliable insider.."

VA is a class act. Cheran's TT is a good film too (aided by some contrived staging initially) but VA is much superior in terms of film making finesse. There is no drama that was infused into VA, so understandably the movie may not evoke too much of emotional bonding for the viewers. Have a DVD, will have to revisit this classic sometime...

Naan sonnadhu mutrilum unmai.. GVM planned to remake this movie first and then changed the script (which was pretty evident from the half baked final product) for whatsoever reasons. Its your choice to believe it or not. Till then, I never even knew that there was a film called 'Character'. Originally Posted by NOV

That's possible. I remember GVM mentioning the same in an interview. He didn't say anything about "Character" nevertheless, he did say that he was planning to do a different film with Surya. In fact, he was working on the script, when his father's untimely demise changed his whole plan. He then decided to make Vaaranam Ayiram as an ode to his father. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

vivek irritates a lot with his "child chinna" character, songs are dull, hansika motwani (sry guys i cant stand her), story is too cliched and even the villains are made into comedians at last..worst movie by suraj by far! Only saving grace for me was when they showed Ajith's cut out poster - semma response!! watch it @ ur own risk.

Maappillai - utter crap
Very bad movie, the director stole many scenes from telugu movies eg like the jeep bomb blast that shows villi's character, mappillai kidnapping, mappillai hugging mother in law.
Dhanush didnt work hard in the movie, he just repeated what he did in his previous movies like: padikkathavan, uthamaputhiran, thiruvizhayadal aarambam...
Hansika Motwani made some easy money appearing as heroine, she has limited appearance,
Manisha Koirala's average performance, expected more from her.
Vivek was not funny, and the comedy part should have been done by vadivelu IMO.
other cast, done their job ok.
Manisharma seemed to only use parai for most of his songs, sema kuthu songs... except ready readya (in telugu: parugu - yela yelaga)
A big request to director suraj, do not copy scenes from various telugu movies, to complete a movie.

Really got to appreciate the magic of "Nee Neela Vaanam" nice technique used during song, also used in coldplay music video, Kamal can still emote the hell out of a scene, moreso sombre character this time, Trisha was totally unbelievable as Tamil poet, Madhavan's drunk antics were played out too much so that when "the plan" begins...it was like "old hat" kind of thing...and it ended pretty much sloppily too. Overall am glad I watched it, but it was a one-time watch for sure.

Anway, I too came to a conclusion that they are living in our time, but still I am not convinced. I always wanted to opt that its all in their heads - from interval its not reality - each one according to the information they collected/know "imagine" their own side story not willing to accept the reality that the "hiding place" / the chola king is no more. The tedious journey + Prathap's whisky made "rings" in their brains !

That could have been the "version" seen by Reema Sen ! Afterall all she wants is to take revenge and the "idol" from them. When she faces reality, she feels cheated, so invents her own chapters to kill and take the idol. Again I still do not want to spoil the whole plot by allowing me to think that Chola king is still alive and hiding somewhere near Vietnam ! Originally Posted by P_R

Horrendously sloppy, silly movie. But it had இங்க கொஞ்சம் ப்ளிச்சு அங்க கொஞ்சம் ப்ளிச்சு moments that was nothing like anything we have seen.
The suggestion from the crowd that someone should give navakandam for their safe passage back home comes as a 'most natural' thing. Not as some top-down reinforcing of power. The kind in fact asks the old man who volunteers, how come he doesn't want to see Thanjai (a dream for generations). The old man who offers himself up does that easily and has light conversations till his last moment, even requesting the royal sword for the act. There is no remorse, sense of loss, big deal about sacrifice etc. - truly felt like an old civilization whose mores we will fail to understand fully because we always see it from where we are.
That's the point I felt very sorry for the movie.

That could be interpreted as : the enemity Reema sen creates with Karthi right from the begining ...

Mahendran's Nandu, thanks to youtube.
Seen it long back, but I could not recollect anything while revisiting it last night. About 30 mins of the film happens in Lucknow and those scenes are spread throughout the film. Initially they were shot in Hindi and thanks to the fublic, those portions were dubbed in thamizh and re-released. I can't believe it was Mahendran who directed those scenes. Very amateurish handling of the actors. Biggest drawback of the film and that spoils one of the main threads in the film. Anyway apart from that the film is very watchable. There are many brilliant typical Mahendran moments. All the scenes in that boarding house are well executed. The hero could not act though. And all the gEls in that boarding house falling for that ugly dude was kind of.. Anyway 1980, naarthindian boys (though he does not look like one) ellaam connect panni freeya vidalaam.

Kotti - watchable
I think its a kannada movie dubbed into tamil, however the screenplay and revenge plot made me watch fully.
Kind of Subramaniyapuram romance mixed with goon duels between baddies, the hero gets involved in the criminel goon war and gets revenge. Heroine is cute, very much like a next door neighbour girl (bhagyanjali).
Comedy is poor, songs are ok, Thulasi and Saikumar have done great performance as Villains.
Its not a must watch movie, but a potentiel entertainer if u dont have high expectations for a movie.

Watched "Seedan"
Did not expect Dhanush of all actors to be involved in a religious-toned movie and moreso be
a deity himself...thank goodness they didn't show him in the "proper religious attire" I think he would have looked quite goofy.
There seems to be great gaps of continuity in this film, where reactions seem quite superficial...the reaction of heroine after Dhanush's "frivolous revelation" for one. It also seems that the director has tried very hard to be different, in which most movie plots play up the moment of the hero(heroine's) revelation to mother (parents) and then all hell breaking loose. Here rather, the build up to the scene if big but finally the revelation is done in a small but tearful scene and then hushed up but in a more humane way. The demands of the hero's extended family to a point seem utterly ridiculous and only cause the plot to drag and lag, especially the family's anger at missing the opportunity of marrying off a pre-pubescent girl to said hero.
The plus point are Vivek's antics (not hilarious but still a distraction), the songs "Saravana Samiyal" (this song is really catchy for some reason) " and "Enadhu Uyire",
Dhanush's attempts at tejas quality smiles and all-knowingness. Heroine's expressions should also be commended even if alot of it involved water works.

Watching Sarvam (2nd time). Though I did not have any good opinion about this move including the BGM, (IR song overused that Yuvan had almost lost his identity in first half bgm ), I somehow feel it slightly better watching it now. Quite funny in few places and unfunny in many places.

KO - thrilling entertainer
Througly enjoyed watching the movie. The story is about journalism and political spin.
This role is a gift to Jeeva, and he didnt waste it, his age, body language, and look is very apt for a photographer on a daily newpaper., with a really good performance, esp during climax. Karthika is ok, I just get scared about her eyes. looks like angry "Kaaliamma eyes". Pia Bajpaal charming and humourous actressas Saro, such a pity she didnt come throughout the movie. Ajmal done terrific, IMO his best performance since Anjathey. Eventhough there were no comedians I didnt stop laugh when PRakashraj or Kota Srinivasa Rao appeared. Bose Venkat did pretty good too, its a relief he is not a cop in the movie as per tradition.
Edting, Photography, Camera, Fighting is good. But songs doesnt look impressive visually.
Harris Jeyaraj succeeded on songs but is ruining the movie with his BGM.
Thanks to KV Anand for a really good watchable movie.

Forehead-Eye Chakravarthy drew a lot from the overacting Proud Barrister. Ishtyle eh? It is so fun being a fan of the fountainhead of tamil film acting. Much as the later generation fans try to poke fun of him, the little children know not that every movement of their idols is pre-ordained and available as a reference in the thesaurus of tamil film acting. Oh I pity thee, children

Vaanam - only one sky and so many clouds, only homo saphiens and yet so many problems among them.
A story about poverty, love, prostitution, ambitions, hate, violence, and terrorism. It culminates in a climax that changes main characters lives forever.
Simbu really great performance, Bharath is good too, doesnt have much scoop like simbu but impresses as the youth musician who realises the value of live. Anushka, almost on par with Arundhati performance, feel sorry for her. Prakashraj, impresses a lot as a muslim. Saranya prooves why directors hires her to play mum roles, again great acting skills.
Other cast like Santhanam, VTV Ganesh, Ravi prakash (brutal right oriented cop), Jaya Prakash (terrorist leader) Radha Ravi, Grandfather, Anushkas make up artist.., all contributed to make this a good movie.
Photography was almost perfect, but visually "Evandi Unnai Pethan" was a a disaster, but no money no honey which i didnt like on hearing, looks good visually, great energetic dance by simbu, anushka and dancers.
YSR, neat job on songs and BGM music.
Director Krish impresses me with Vaanam, I hope for more different kind of movies from him in future.

As indicated by my comment yesterday, neRRIkaNN. Several parts havent aged well - the central force in the movie is Chakravarthy, who, as mentioned, borrows heavily from the great barrister. (Watch out for the sequence when he walks down the stairs in the peN pArkkum scene - it is almost mimicry).
Nevertheless, it is a significant performance in Rajini's career, especially as the cardboard junior character still has some typical Rajini brand of nakkal moments. Put aside this, Chitti 2.0 is a cardboard caricature. Think of that - a caricature of a imitation(of Barrister, who himself was a sort of caricature).
Coming back to neRRikaNN, several unintendedly funny moments:
Chakravarthy: indha savAlla nAn jeyikkalainA, nI enakku poRakkalaidA
Junior: nAn jeikkalanA, nAn ungaLukku poRakkala
(Lakshmi(manasukkuLLa): Aga moththam yAru jeichAlum en character-ai asinga padutharadhunnu mudivu paNNittInga? nallA vandhu vAichEn indha vekkangetta kudumbathtula )

Nerd, let's get this clear. Sarna's accusation is that I am targetting Rajini because of fight with you in political thread. Is that clear from his post?
That I watched nerrikann is quite obvious from the post made today(not clear from yesterday's post obviously). Today's post was well before your previous post today so if you missed it, you must have missed it completely - the post is quite clear by itself.
More than anything else, joe had applauded my post so this is obviously got nothing to do with the politics thread which is what sarna tried to portray.
Obviously, yest.'s post also took a dig at sarna but it was triggered by watching nerrikann actually.

It just happened that Chakravarthy came in as a handy reference to why stones cannot be thrown at NT without boomeranging - for any subsequent actor fans including Kamal.

From: Plum on 2nd May 2011 11:42 PM [Full View]
All that should not distract from the main point which is that Rajini gave Chakravarthy exactly what the character and that movie needed. It is that style of acting that still makes the movie watchable - much like most of NT's movies. It is a prism through which it is useful(and rewarding) to watch NT movies. Sarna's rhetorical opposition to NT lacks appreciation of this nuance. Which is ofcourse a perfectly valid choice on his part.
That Rajini can succesfully imitate NT and service the movie and the character at the same time is quite an achievement. This forms the basis for appreciation of Rajini by people like grouch and me. Ideally, for fans of later actors, this sort of reading is a starting point to appreciate the phenomenon that NT was.

Sarna, first get into your skull that you have been here long enough for people to know your overwhelming fandom for Rajini without the need for your avatar to spell out things.
Next, understand that the trigger was watching nerrikann.
If I had seen bedara kannappa maybe my post would have been different but the point made would have been still the same: NT is the fountainhead of acting for his contempraries across indian languages and his successors, especially in tamil - I still admit I took a dig at you and that was clear from the tone of my first post without me having to admit it.
You were just a pawn for me in making that point, that is to say: the point was important not you - if it had been Anban(who does take digs at NT) saying what you said, say, and if I had watched a Kamal movie channelling NT, I would have made the same point with Kamal. While I mentioned Rajini, the point holds true for all actors.

Can't pigeonhole it into one mode, NT opened up, explored & set the tone for whole lot of things for actors since 52. But still something of a wasted talent seeing how large the untapped potential was..
Wondering if this is the case with most of the yesteryear acting talent. Look at Nagesh's work in Magalir mattum. How much of the "actor" (and in truth, "acting") is lost to become a prop for the filmmaker and yet able to display sheer brilliance. Excuse the exotic reference, B.Keatonesque & would have made one of the all-time great silent performances.

Kid, NT wasn't part of many great movies but like a thesaurus, left enough references for all possible types of acting as individual vignettes. If we collect these moments together, we get a thesaurus. Obviously, a thesaurus is not a novel which coordinates such vignettes into an interesting story. But it is still a thesaurus.

Appavi - good message to India
A movie a la Anniyan/Gentleman/Ramana. The weakness is how simple baddies get killed by hero, and the killings plays crucial part of the movie. I particularly like the speech at climax (the highlight of the movie) by Bharathi (Gautham). Esp these dialogues Q: "India vallarasu aagunamna enna pannanum? A: "Muthalla India nallarasu aaghanum..."
Newcomer Gautham done a good job, on his first movie as an angry man seeking justice. Suhani, the heroince plays "dream song girl" in the movie. Other cast is ok. Comedy is poor.
Songs by Joshua Sridhar are good, BGM could be better when the MMS were sent.
Director Raguraj (popular kannada director) could have made a better debute in tamil, but still movie could be watched for the message he wanted to tell with this movie.

Nandhalala finally.
- Absolute peach of a movie, except the gold hearted gals scenes and of course, what the....climax.
- Tamil film directors should start to learn to give their composers a rest. Ilayaraja's all over the place, and really asking for attention. Seemed like he got it.
- Mysskin is way better than Vikram when the latter is not doing tough guy roles.
- Most number of shots involving walking legs after 1970s Deivam.
- Lack of facial close-up saved the film, considering the emotional moments and how it really needs damned good actor(ess)s to pull it off.
- Looking forward to Yudham Sei.

Watched both Ko and Vaanam back to back..yesterday due ot power shutdown in our area...
Ko..Hybrid of Mudhalvan and Ayutha Ezhuthu ,good commercial movie with no dull moments..
Harris-I am hearing same tune for almost every song with different lyrics except ennamo good..song placement is another drawback as if to show us how much penny Harris got
but his songs are instant hits..
Somehow I liked karthika...and decent performance from Jiiva,Ajmal.KV anandh,A good commercial director includes necessary twist to make screenplay interesting...
annaalum porathu munnadi romba periya build up kuduthhaanga...antha alavukku illaattiyum..good..
Vaanam-Simbhu,Santhanam,carry the movie but anushka episode looks like dubbed one,
Missed evandi unna song entered the theatre to see end of this song....Bharath was atleast ok(irrititating initially),one of my friend shouted chinna thalapathy,chinna thalapathy whenever he came in...evoked laughter in theater.
Hindu-Muslim riots were extended could have been trimmed....
sathanaam's vanthaalae theatre la ..kuthukalam aayudaraanga..VTV ganesh ..paavam.
.Yuvan vaanam title music as BGM gels well...
Very much watchable movie with few commercial clinches....

KO - Liked it, but a bit let down with KV Anand choosing a rehash of State Of Play as a followup to Ayan. Expected something better than that from him. Still, good writing by SuBa. Actingwise, everyone was perfect. Karthika has got sensuous eyes. Will the directors please refrain from using HJ for BGM? The chorus yelling out 'ho ho ho ho' throughout the climax fight left us with an earache!
Vaanam - Watching films like Thillalangadi, Siruthai, etc, left me with a question why tamil filmmakers choose to remake such inane films, but at least this one is worthy of a remake. Not a great film as such, but watchable once thanks largely due to the fantastic STR-Santhanam track and the Saranya segment. Bharath, Anushka, Prakash Raj segments didn't work for me much, and I was on fast forward mode for much of those scenes. This multiple stories coming together in the climax is getting a bit boring for me personally. Nevertheless, paakkalaam...edho, STR has learnt to 'behave' in front of the camera, thanks to Gowtham Menon.

காவலன் - பரவாயில்லை, ஒரு முறை பார்க்கலாம் ரகம்
(அதாவது சண்டை, பாட்டு எல்லாம் வேக முன்போக்கு செய்து கொண்டு).
One of the good things I noticed while watching this movie - our 5 year old has already grown out of the Vijay-fandom She kept asking us to change to DVD to some spirit or chipmunkku.
Me : 'நீ தானே யூட்யூப் விஜய் வீடியோ கேப்ப? அதுவும் கோணங்கிப் பாட்டெல்லாம்?' (e.g. நா அடிச்சா தாங்க மாட்ட)
She : 'அது வேற விஜய், இது வேற, இது நல்லாவே இல்ல'
Another observation was the 'pAvam' looking Asin. Her portions in gajini were favourites at our home (the only movie I remember of her) and she was in my books "current equivalent of OKD Revathy- or may be Udhayageetham one". However, in this she looks very parithAbam.
(My wife - she lost weight to unusual levels and doesn't look good
My son- who also does work at their univ's "campus video network" - her face is CG-ed and that too very badly, her forehead had been edited and that edit has messed up the hair region just above forehead - this is not her real face)
Vijay's hairstyle changes are horrible.
I believe this movie was helped by the "harassment publicity". Otherwise, it would have fared poorer, IMO.

Two more points-
1. Vadivel is ok type in Bodyguard but Friends was much better. (His explanations after getting women-handled brought laughter, though I don't remember the lines...overall, dialog was slightly above average)
2. Since we watched 'kuch kuch hOta hai' a few times in the past couple of months, the "connections" between that movie and this appeared very obvious. Some kind of idea copy.

Just read the Plum - Sarna posts
Rajni in general reminds Shivaji - More than any other actor of his generation (I think its a compliment)
I find Alex Pandiyan having a great deal of Shivaji traces...especially walking..One cannot deny that for the very fact that they are not typical rajni mannerisms..Alex Pandiyan is not a typical Rajni (read Johnny, Thee etc) of those times.
Kamal too - While watching Indian - one can find Shivaji in few scenes of Indian Thaathaa. When Suganya picks the clothes once thaathaa finishes his job CBI officer...Kamal gives a proud, military look which looked very much like shivaji.

The naxals or rebels, or whatever. They come close with Nila (the protagonist), use her and create a myth of throwing a fake dictatorship (the so called Kazhagams), proclaiming their empowerment in the guise of making a revolution. As Nila (Jiiva) understands this slowly, she restores back order into the screwed up situation. Originally Posted by groucho070

दिलवाले दुल्हनिया ले जाएँगे (dilwalE dulhaniyA lE jAyEngE or DDLJ, 1995, SRK / Kajol)
The success of DDLJ could have prompted the making of other SRK movies that I've seen in the recent months (dil tO pAgal hai & kuch kuch hOta hai, both involving SRK grabbing already-betrothed-women). From wikipedia, it appears to be a success of phenomenal proportions (invest 4 cr return 120 cr, longest running Indian movie - supposedly being continued in a theater even in 2011)
Except the first solo song where Kajol is kind of "exposed", pretty clean family entertainer - though 100% predictable for anyone who has seen ANY Indian movie
All songs have that 'Bangalore-il kEtta' feeling (means either I've heard them before or they've been inspired from oldies or other later hits were inspired by these...Though my chronology knowledge on HFM is nonexistent, at least some portions of these songs are inspired from those of 70's / 80's - RDB / L-P / Kji-Aji vagaiyaRA). Still, very catchy & listenable types.
This is the 3rd movie I've seen having the SRK-Kajol pair and they're such a great match in all three (kuch k h h / DDLJ / My N is K). I need to look for other DVD's by this pair during my next visit to Indian store...

Engeyum Kathal - Engeyum Kurattai
A movie about a girl who falls in love with a guy, but the guy doesnt believe in love, will the love succeed or not?
Jayam Ravi, is very calm n quite in the movie, I have seen him act better than in the movie, so a bit dissapointed here. Hansika Motwani has crucial role in the movie, her acting is not bad, and she has been presented in a humourous way many times, which makes her character interesting. Nothing really to write about other cast, they might appear in 30 seconds once in a while and thats all.
Technically and visually its a treat. Camera work is good, esp on first song "engeyum kathal". Harris Jayaraj steals the show, almost all songs are great, except "kulu kulu" which I still mean is a copy song.
What did Prabhudeva try to tell with the story... I dont know, he doesnt seem to know what to tell audience either... better luck next time Prabhudeva

Siruthai on Tanggathirai.
This is tailor-made for Captain movie, if the pickpocket role is changed to something else. Still, Karthi was absolutely on the mark, when he is not trying too hard on comedy. I suppose Telugu defenders might see him copying the original, not sure.
Edit. Watching this film, I am convinced that he is not his dad's number one fan

If that's true, I feel sorry for him. So much potential in him. But is he like looking back in history and deciding on his career path? Shrewd, but as Dylan'd say, times are a-changing. There'll not be any Superstar or Superactor anymore. Superheroism ivanggalodu mudinjiruchu (or with Captain to a certain degree). I know how you wanted Madhavan's career to be, and I feel the same as you now.

Watched "Aadukalam",
The songs are even more enjoyable after seen onscreen, especially "Otha Sollalae", the choreo for this song really zoned into the feeling of sporadic "natural" attempts at dancing.
was a real treat to recognize SPB voice in "Ayyayo"
I don't know about Dhanush being a more mature actor now, he always seemed to channel that intensity seen in Kadhal Kondein, Pudhupettai, Polladhavan and personally I love his mischievous brand of clowning around present in many of his movies...what I think saved YNM for the most part and kept Thiruvilayadal Arambam and Kutty afloat.
The BGM was particularly riveting...especially during certain fight scenes, I have to admit that I usually don't take notice of BGM except for a few cases...this is one of those times.

Kanden - rasithen
A movie about a guy born in a village forced to marry a girl, but he escapes by telling a lie, a lie that changes his life forever...
IMO santhanu's best movie in his career so far, so much better than Sakkarakatti "cho sweet" and Siddhu +2 "first attempt". If only Kanden was his first movie...Heroine Reshmi gautham is convincing as a sympathic girlfriend, she looks better in modern dresses than sari in the movie IMO. Santhanam's comedy is good, throughout the movie... his best after BEB. Vijaykumar's character is nothing new, he could have acted this role with his eyes closed, Ashish Vidyarthi is introduced as a ruff cop, but later on he becomes dummy piece...
Visually and technically its a treat to eyes and ears. Vijay Ebenezer's BGM is really good and songs even better, if this is his first movie I wont believe it, sounds very professional.
AC Mugil didnt bring anything new to cinema, but he delievered a soft romantic comedy that can be enjoyed by people in any ages, salute sir.

I just came here to post about 'Alaipayuthe' which I watched in KTV yesterday, but sathya already posted it. Even after 10 years, this film looked fresh to me. Very very musical. ARR's best, even better than his another best VTV I would say. This is again one of the films where ARR can be seen throughout the film. All the songs are still ringing throughout in me.
Coming to the film as a whole and it's love theme, again way better than VTV. Maniratnam's screenplay and direction is terrific. Just one scene to highlight why Mani is highly regarded compared to his contemporaries (like GVM etc) when Poorni's proposal is almost done, the groom's father wanted to get his second son to marry shakthi. Shakthi even gets dresssed and gets ready. First time when I was seeing this scene, I was so tensed what will she say when that guy asks her whether she is fine in marrying him. And when Shakthi hits back, that guy could not believe what he was hearing. I was stunned by her answer. Mani was terrific there and I thought he would prolong that scene, but cuts there.
The way story moves, their love and their misunderstanding, everything was beautifully captured and it will reside deep in our hearts. There were some Mani's cliches as always, but this is definitely a classic.
Where is that Mani now?? come back to tamizh.

I know Plum, VTV is a great film no doubt about that. As sathya mentioned, the ending is not cinematic like Alaipayuthe and loved the ending compared to AP. But on the whole I liked AP's screenplay better. Somehow I had a feeling when watching VTV that, if we go 4 steps forward, it steps back one step every time, which took away some interest in keeping me engrossing. There are many situations which both the film share. Even the names like Karthik is same in VTV as in AP. Another situation when Karthik meets Shakthi at her medical camp and that whole scene where they decide to get married. Beautiful scene!. Eqvuivalent to that in VTV, Karthik goes to meet Jessie one night at her place where they decide to part ways. Somehow I have a feeling that AP's influence is felt when watching VTV which is another aspect I rate AP higher than VTV. But as I said, both are wonderful films.

Amitabh / Jaya / Hrithik irritate to the core. However, the max irritation is from the NI clone of SAR He seems to take pride in the only tune he composed ever (kuchchu kuchchu...) and plays whenever and wherever he can. Even the movie is a Vikraman kind but just longer / shinier by way of expensive settings / more boring...
As usual, the better scenes are those with SRK / Kajol who are impressive as usual.

AP - Focused on post marital tensions and ego clashes of newly wed, especially when they are alone (Without parents, elders). Subtle message on the importance of elders at home would have been stressed when the house owner advises Madhavan which will help him to realise the nitty grittys of married life and importance of adjustment in family life. This is not a film about lovers or pre-marital love life. But, love life after marriage (which generally disappears / gets reduced after marriage). U cannot call it superficial WRT love life. Because the theme / scope of the film was different. Love and pre-marital love life was just the soup or dessert here, not main course. Originally Posted by venkkiram
AP ventured into a territory which was not treaded by many in the recent past (say 20 years).
VTV - Focused on confusions and psychology of woman, Tensions in pre-marital love life. Director should be appreciated for letting the hero propose within first 20 mins and then sustaining the tension till the end. Gripping screenplay.
Both are not dramatic and very plausible and practical.
AP slightly edges for me for the subject.

Infact Mani some times reduces the effect of some of his songs by not picturizing / let it run in the background it to make sure the viewers are not distracted by the song..... e.g Arabic kadaloram (a fact acknwoledged by Rahman), Poongatrile from Uyire... avara paarthu ipadi solliteengale............ etho Raavan nu oru padam ozhunga illangrathala (athu avar pala time varainju rubber ah la azhichu marubadi varainja maathiryana chithiram Originally Posted by sathya_1979

The police inspector role by Upendra Limaye is simply a top notch one. Very touching song "Kitne Ajeeb.." from Lata. Brave effort by Madhur Bhandarkar, certainly worth watching..

Very late to watch these films, yet very worthy films. Tamizh films are getting better and better recently.
KO - very impressive and racy film excluding the music. Great twist at the end, beautiful film by K V Anand.
Yudham sei - very impressive and racy film including the music. The story development starting with missing sister and how its gets tangled from one murder to another is beautifully done. But very violent movie for a family. K's music was excellent and could not imagine it's his first film. Kudos to Mysskin again!

Venki sir, Page 3 is not Konkona's first film. It was merely her first Hindi film. Konkona first made her debut in a Bengali film (can't remember the name), nevertheless became famous after the award winning "Mr. & Mrs Iyer". The film was released way before Page 3. Do watch it if you have the chance. I'm very sure you'll enjoy her acting there. Originally Posted by venkkiram

Bharath - After Kadhal & "Emtan Magan", liked him in this movie only.. this role suits him..
Anoushka - Proved once again that she can act well, superb..
Saranya & Prakash Raj done their part superbly too..
Krish - tried to tell some good things in this movie.. and succeeded in charectarization and story telling..

Agni Natchathiram
The movie brilliantly ventures into the mature stage of a man's life with 2 wife's and their 2 grownup sons tussle to acclaim/safeguard their identity. MR sticked to that unwritten rule that a villain alone can save any family/social crisis.
Nattamai indeed a versatile actor with his 2 wife's/2 son’s throws in one of the finest, subtle performance of his controversial career. Even the 2 wife’s (Sumitra & Jayachitra) doesn’t go emotionally overboard at any place. Thankfully no flashbacks. Nicely written and well acted.
Prabhu & Karthik : A classic tale. Earlier I suggested for a remake atleast this part but now honestly I don’t want to. The charm, body language and effervescent nature portrayed by these two young angry men can hardly be matched. In today’s scenario even Surya & Karthi wouldn’t be that interesting to watch. And for Maniratnam?
Romance part: Sundeli was really funny. At first I thought how did Mani allow this keechkeech voice but later it was dubbed better. Within the few minutes of her intro the love blossoms you are there to see her covered up in a saree for a navel oil & jewellery show singing a classically inclined “thoongatha vizhigal ondru” KJY & SJ. Well I am not complaining the song but the placement was inappropriate and rushed in. Nirosha on the other hand comes from nowhere & throws a love signal from car’s window only Karthik could understand and there are back to back Mr. Chandramouli moments. Usually MR’s Romance touch has a long story and a strong description but this one lacks, unconvincing but he cleverly put the songs to the best use really saved that stretch. Oru poongavanam is a lovely, breezy song that lets you to peep straight into someone’s swimming pool and have a free demo of swimming skills frontstroke, backstroke& Jumping . Ninnukkori - Sundeli In superman costume is a nice choreography.
Comedy: This track by VKR & JR is totally irrelevant it has no relation to the narration except the interview part. Worst part in any MR’s movie spoiled in a big way.
Music & BGM: Awesome, Evergreen songs. All MR-IR movies have great songs this is nothing in short. A classic collection to possess. Initally there were lot of thundering sounds between Prabhu & Karthik scenes even the nice theme bits didn’t stay in mind. For the romance and later Prabhu (AC) -Karthik scenes Raja takes to a different level. Funky, thundering score. Amala Intro, Prabhu jeep scene, Karthik Arrest, Flute theme when VK got admitted so many which I might have missed to mention.
Camera & Lighting: Excessive misuse of lighting, electricity and natural resources. From the title credits there is always a light flashing as if there is always a third son looking cursedly. Several crucial scenes have been spoiled by the lighting where you don’t see the faces, expressions or what happens really. Take the climax scene what on earth Is that theory of electricity. The villain’s man set a spark on the transformer outside the hospital and with those flashing lights for so much time the two sons rescue their father. Well the flashy lights looks good in ninnukori song but here I felt like banging my head. But have to give some credits to Mr PC for song picturization.
Except the comedy track & some lighting off-key moments this movie is brilliant and worth re-watching.
Mani Sir

Director may have had "Getting-on-your-nerve" metre or something. JR could have. Was okay, until they go to Malaysia. From there, I was just doing location check. Tamanna gets to phsycally abuse JR and VV, plus in one scene slapped her sister. You go girl.

Maaveeran (dubbed version of Magadheera)
One of the over-hyped films that doesn't deserve half of the credits it gets. A love story that supposedly dates back to 1609 A.D and prolongs after 400 years later. The only exciting thing about the story lies on the historical segment, which though cliched, keeps you interested via the characters and the visual treat. The rest is just a big bore.
Ram Charan looks good as Raja Parthiba. His body language and mannerism is apt for the role of the loyal warrior. He's good in stunts and does his part extremely well. But as Harsha, he just comes across as another star son- too much of dancing and jumping around and very little acting involved. Nevertheless, I like him a lot better than Nagarjuna's son.
Kajal Agarwal is the only person who makes the film bearable. She never looked more beautiful in any other films. Again, nothing much to be said about her acting (then again, there's nothing much to complain either) but she makes up for the lack of acting with her refreshing presence, both as Princess Mithra and Indhu
The rest of the actors are just there to fill up the roles. The villain looks like Chakravarthy but just uglier with big horse-like teeth. The one who acts as Sher Khan and later as Solomon is nothing but a big mouth.
I got excited when I saw MM Keeravani as the MD in the opening credits. Alas, he too disappoints with his work. Nothing exceptional. The only song I liked was Aasai Aasai (shot between Parthiba and Mithra) and even that tune sounds familiar...
The worst part of the film has got to be the special effects in the film. Totally ridiculous and lame. How did it actually won the National Awards??
Overall, movie is just not worth your money. If any of you guys are planning to watch it- just stick to the historical segment and you'll do fine.

Ram Charan Teja - uvvEk. Naga Chaitanya is awkward in his gait but so was his father in his initial days. I predict a brighter future for the latter than Chiru's son.
(Ofcourse all these is per Telugu standards. Do not compare with other language folks and fume...)

Naga Chaitanya, OTOH has not impressed me as yet. He seems to me like the Siddharth kind of actor- good for romance and goofy characters instead of the solid hero that telugu film is famous for.

In other words, Chaitanya wont have much competition but Teja will have lots of competition, including his own cousin. .good for romance and goofy characters instead of the solid hero that telugu film is famous for.
But there's more at play - part of Chiru's fandom is also caste based. And Chiru vs Balakrishna very often descends into Kapu vs Kamma, although Chiru has lot of fanbase from the Kamma caste while Balak is predominantly from his own Kamma caste - which also explains their relative standing in Telugu filmdom.
Akkinenis are also Kamma but less in-your-face about it. If nothing else, Teja might inherit his father's Kapu fan base and lose the Kamma fan base, which Chiru earned purely due to his superstardom and charisma - unlikely that they transfer the affection to the son esp if a rival Kamma star is already available.
Overall, the Akkinenis have always represented the "class" element of Telugu cinema(if you may call it so - again please consider telugu standards only) as opposed to the mass element of Nandamuri. This factor gives Chaitanya an USP to score over the tightly-crowded future-mass-star space, which also includes Mahesh Babu.

(like dejent batsman can play a elegent square drive but there is still a difference between Sachin sqaure drive from the rest-mbaingale, andha maadhiri)....
The Mallu guy who played the producer role was extremely funny though his character was written with mediocrity. It's one of those roles that could have fallen flat due to the "annoyance" factor asscoiated with that role but he turned it on it's head and made it look funny all the way through the movie...

Aanmai Thavarel - Not for weakhearted ones
Its a movie about a guy who's girlfriend gets kidnapped by gang who deals with human trafficking. There are many scenes that are impressive, and few scenes that lacks logic. Its not a commercial movie, but an intelligently made thriller.
Druvah makes a decent debute, he needs to improve emotional scenes. Shruthi, is it her debute? Very good acting. Another key person in the movie is Sampath, as a retired cop who helps Druvah in his search to find and rescue his girlfriend. Other cast did their parts well.
Editing, and Photography is slick. BGM is very apt, and songs not bad.
Kudos to director Kulainthai Velappan, this is his debute movie, but when you watch the movie, you will feel he is way ahead in directing a good movie with a strong message.

Actually I liked the first 1 hour. Acting ellaam padu summar but liked the way the script ambles aimlessly/casually and hpw the director takes his own sweet time to complete a scene. In this era of fast forwards and jump cuts / fast cuts I thought this was refreshing. But once the keerO and the keerOyini meet the film becomes a huge bore. And the police ambitions / training and the climax esp were double ROTF worthy. Originally Posted by HonestRaj

it was the offspring based on applying thought process to determine the reason of the event, which happened during his life. Here, he derived scientific XYZ from his own life and relative present moment.

Rishimoolam - 1980
I thought it was a full and full SPMuthuraman movie. Surprised to know that
story and screenplay was by Mahendran.
The movie was mostly a K.R.Vijaya showcase and Sivaji mostly played second fiddle.
Primarily because it was about the character Gokhila than about Santhosh.
The movie surprised me totally as it was like a K.Balachander movie translated into
mainstream AVM style format, yet it was neatly done. It is actually a treat watching
Sivaji act and Ilaiyaraja counter act in BGM and songs. Somehow this movie had an
emotional thread that connected with me at some level . I cant put a finger on why or
how, but the scenes that preceded the third act, when Gokhila is about to confront her
estranged husband and son, there is an emotional tumult that was directly conveyed
to me by the music and the screenplay and offcourse if you are some one who lived through late
70s and 80s, KRV's acting - it somehow got to me. There is a revisionist take on feminist ideas
that were filtered through commercial correction to appear male pleasing - more like Mounaragam here.
However the character played by Nadigar thilagam was as grounded as it gets and his nonchalant presence
in this predominantly female character portrait was very reassuring and balancing.
There are some amazing lessons in "natural acting" with minimalistic expressions in the movie throughout
that need to be learnt from him in this movie. However it was all spoiled by the climax staging - which is literally
characters staging a play to psycho bully and convince another character. Apart from that, the movie is a quite a nice
retro treat on a lazy sunday..

Jai, I watched Rishimoolam thrice in the first 5 days. Ofcourse, I was merely tagging along with my father. 3 entities spoil it
KRV moondrezhuthhu
AVM moondrezhuththu
SPM moondrezhuththu
Otherwise, I agree it is quite a non-mainstream theme tried to be packed in the AVM-SPM format, with the fatal garnishing of KRV thrown in between.
The emotional tumult you allude to is probably caught somewhere between the lines
"thingaL oli thingaLai pOl ungaL ungaLai pOl ungaLai thAn nAdugiRAn ennidam Asaiyillai" by Suseela
and
"nee peRRa piLLayin....." by TMS
One of my favourite IR-Sivaji soundtracks -most songs have a deep, emotional core. A perfect marriage of IR's and Sivaji's talents.
nEramidhu nEramidhu - lovely, lovely oodal, kaadhal, modhal, konjal between husband and wife. And like you alluded, I think this song and its charanam tunes have that emotional tumult you speak about that forms the core of the film
nenjil uLLa kaayam - what a hurt-buster of a song. You can feel the relief from years of hurt, and the actual burden of hurt behind the relief in the tune.
Mazhai varuvadhu - tour de force of a song spoilt by picturisation. If I can eliminate KRV from my closed eyes, this song raises whatay imagery. I remember postulating once that this song is a piece of a long-separated-from-son mother's heart sampled and served for our understanding by IR - and Usha Sankar responding that she indeed could relate very well to that from real life.
Aimbadhilum Aasai varum - oh ho, the day I may have to use this anthem is probably only a decade and few years away. Stored in memory for later use.

Aptly said.. Originally Posted by Plum

In support of KRV, atleast she made an effort to act unlike today's heroines...
After deeper thought, I found it quite nice of Mahendran to have a comedy track that kind of impacts the main story in a way (by way of Manorama's actions).
If only they had let the movie be totally in the hands of Mahendran...
Also the movie is not produced by AVM, but by SSK & sons, some sort of real estate giants of coimbatore, which meant that the shooting spots (outdoor) was not the coconut groves with cement lanes in AVM studio, but in real lush locales around Coimbatore. The Tea Estate track was brief and quite meaningful (highlighting Sivaji's thiyaagam and eka pathni vradham), with the wonderful song Vaada en Raajakannu spoiled by some mallu actress.
After seeing the movie, the first thought that came to my mind was - they should have shot the movie in Black and White - the colour aspect was not properly handled by SPM's technicians who put a lot of cream and powder on Sivaji's face - Had it been a Black and White movie, the lip sticks and eye brow liners and pencil line moustaches wouldnt have made much of negative impact on his performance.

what in the world to say?
the whole time I felt "that's so crude I shouldn't laugh...but it's so funny as well"
Ambika....is that you???
I think Kudos should certainly go to "His Highness"
and seriously how come our actors are getting more and more "rustic/of the masses/everyday joes" and our heroines remain the complete opposite? Though "Baby" was indeed very cute and played her role well.
Vishal...IMHO looked like he was struggling throughout thinking "wth have I gotten myself into???"
scene in point: when he acts out the different rasas...the emotions everyone else emotes are so much more believable than his....i know his are exaggerated but teetering on in-genuine.

Vengai - Not new, but not boring either...
Story about a goon family and their rivalry with a politician, in between there is love.
Dhanush is very convincing in this movie, esp in 2nd half. Tamannah looks cute and homely, and sexy in songs, as per tradition, the heroine has 5.. minutes appearance before each song...Prakashraj is again a dummy piece Villain (barking dogs seldom bites!). Rajkiran in a role he done million times before which is not a challenge for him...
A request to directors cut comedy sequences in the movies, if they are so terrible like in this movie. Who ever wrote comedy scenes and dialogues in this movie deserves a Thengai on his/their head.
Camera, Editing, BGM all ok. Songs are well shot, esp Kaalangaalathala.
Director Hari plays safe bet, and succeeds on satisfying a masala movie fan like me, the racy screenplay makes me wanna watch this movie, even more times than one...

Watched AadukaLam over the weekend...
Excellent Movie.. Enjoyed to the core!!
Vetrimaran's narration was very natural, enjoyable & wonderful!!
Dhanush has almost lived as Karuppu, KalakkittAr... superappu...
Loved the scenes Tapsee going around with Dhanush in the night.. suited to this role...
Kishore - indha actor kannadathukkArar-nu sonna NambavE mudiyadhu.. pakkA madurai tamilum, actingum kalakkalO kalakkal...
Scenes leading to "otthai sollAla" and "YatthE yAtthE" were very enjoyable.. the emotions shown by Karuppu are sooooooooper.. and songs were beautiflly done ...
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie..
Felt that I should have watched this earlier.. Don't know how many times I am gonna watch this movie... I remember Nov has told that this is the "Movie of the Year". 100% agree to that..
Lovely.. Lovely Movie...

Udhayan - Fails to impress
A masala movie which could have much better with a different lead actor. I recommend directors uing Arulnidhi to hire a dubbing artist!
The only reason to watch the movie was comedy with Santhanam. Comedygraph still going upwards for him.

Deiva Thirumagal - a movie meant for adults, not children
It's a feelgood movie, unfortunately with a sad ending. The story deals with a autist, and his bond with his daughter. His daughter is taken away from him, so he goes to seek justice at police station and find a amateur lawyer, who tries to help him... will the autist get united with his daughter... see the movie to find out...
If Vikram doesnt win a single award for this performance in the movie, there shouldnt be awardshows hereafter. He impresses in each scenes from beginning till end. Actors like VIkram and Kamalhaasan shows the way for Kollywood by choosing daring characters... Baby Sara was impressive too, she is not even tamil. Anushka has choosen good movies lately... Vaanam and now Deiva Thirumagal, her acting and the struggle to win her first case is well told. Amala Paul .. I hate her character in the movie...her face is very stiff.,.. hardly any emotions...Santhanam a relief in the movie, with his one liners and how he messes up things for Anushka...Nassar amazes again... as a cruel lawyer who will do anything to win a case. The father in law, hasnt much scope, although he does justcie to his role. MS Baskar is a gem, I think he is underrated comedian, in his movie he never failed to make me laugh.
Nirav Shav, make his job perfect,
GV Prakash, will never be among my favourites, but I appreciate his BGM (his best so far IMO) in the movie (except the inspector gadget theme bit), the songs suits the situation. Another feather in cap for GV Prakash.
Director Vijay almost made my day with this movie. The sad ending is a hard pill to swallow. I never like sad ending. I dont think its an apt movie to show children, esp the little ones.

Naagavalli - Chandramukhi part II
Just saw the telugu movie with english subtitles (on youtube ... vera enge??). Not bad, it can be watched once. There are minor changes compared to Chandramukhi I. Chandramukhi looks more scary than in tamil. "victory" Venkatesh impresses as evil king and old man. Anushka and Richa Gangoopathy were really good in the movie.
minuses are the comedy, songs, and slow first half.

Kanchana - avoidable (for the "I am too fine, and I have good taste in movie types")
... except for me
I like these horror movies, mixed with commercial movie ingredients like... sentiment, comedy, fight, glamour, dance, and tricky ending...
This movie is about a guy who gets possed by a ghost and seeks revenge for the injustice the ghost went through when it was alive.
Ragavendra Lawrence proves again he is so good in dancing, and comedy too, but acting is his weakness. Lakshmi Rai only used for glamour as an oomph factor, she appears in movie mostly during first half and appears only at ending... like most heroines in movies...Kovai Sarala, Sreeman, Devadarshini.. they are just too funny in the movie..likewise Manobala and Mayilsamy. The real surprise in the movie is Saratchkumar. Its very dare to act as a eunuch, considering his image. Hats off to his performance in the movie.
Graphics is ok, editing, camera neat job. Bgm and songs dissapoints, what happened to Thaman in this movie?
Raghevendra is also director of the movie, he has a good message to tell through the movie, however he could have made it a better. Less blood during climax would been nice.

Watched "Vaanam" pretty good, intense scenes and comic bits....cable raja's interactions with his girl were funny...the moving song from Bharath did not reach IMHO...
surprised at Anushka...haven't liked her acting before...but this time IMO think she proved herself better than she did before.
WTH Yuvan...the songs overall were such a let-down...actually they were highly laughable...that "Evandi unna pethan" we were laughing sooo hard!!! English translation too "Who's you daddy...if i see him he's a dead body"...so pathetic you can't do nothing but laugh!! Swear...when he sang "move your body" it sounded like "moonjaiye paaru"
even watching "BEB" again today I thought, "look at the quality of songs...so much better....even with a comic premise"

From: KV on 25th July 2011 08:41 PM [Full View]
My high school Math teacher, one Mr. Wilson, had a strange and slightly sinister habit. He would randomly zero in on a pupil in class, and shoot a question that would, almost surely, catch the poor one off guard. He would then walk down and stare silently at the pupil, anger showing in his drunken eyes. Then in a sudden act of punishment, he would grab the belly button and give it a pinching twist, the pitiful victim squirming in pain. The hold wouldn’t release until the pupil repeatedly promised that he would act on his ignorance. Oh, the tyranny, I tell you!
I had a sense of déjà vu last night; nothing to do with math problems, but due to a movie I decided to watch. It was as though the director spoke to me “Hey, you there! Look at me, I'm talking to you. There's a group of people that is suffering, day in and day out. I've made a film about them. See, this is how sadistic and ruthless their existence is. Don't you feel bad for them? Wait, let me turn up the morbidity just to ensure you're getting what I'm trying to say. Now, can't you feel your stomach churn? You see how lucky you are, relaxing in your couch and watching this? What are you going to do about these dirty things? You meager beings don't give a damn and just go on with your indifference. You should actually hate yourself. Squirm, brood, weep.” Well, Mr. Wilson wasn’t really all that evil, I felt.
Rape of the mind is a social disorder – Iron Maiden, in the song ‘Virus’.
Cinema is one of the strongest mediums of expression and communication. Through its visuals and audio, it has the ability of immediately bridging with the audience. The relationship between a filmmaker and a viewer is, I think, almost like that of two people in sex, the intentions being to be able to make a ‘connect’ and then hit 'that spot'. When this happens through a collaborative effort between the two, respecting each other’s willingness and sensibility, it’s akin to making love. On the other hand, when there is no regard to such things and when it becomes an assault on the other’s senses, it is exploitation, which you might have guessed by now, is like rape. Make no mistake, the bottomline remains the same – to connect and hit the spot – but only without the willingness of the other, in this case.
Firstly, the concept/subject chosen to be the film’s core – plight of the oppressed, neglected, less fortunate group of people - is a novel idea. The filmmaker surely deserves applause for picking such a subject. The setting in which he lays out the tale is also laudable. The montages of the ever buzzing shopping area, hordes of people from several social strata that throng them and the street vendors who almost parasitically live off the thronging crowd, are all very interestingly captured and presented. The little subplots that roll along the central theme are nicely done as well. Sample this one – a young man, seemingly fit physically but with little else going for him otherwise, loiters the streets seeking an employment, but in vain. Dejected, as he wanders around, he comes across a public latrine situated in the midst of the buzzing streets, unattended and in a state of rot and stench. In a flash decision, he borrows a bucket, tidies up the place, shuts one end of the latrine with an unclaimed advertisement hoarding, seats himself at the entrance and starts collecting, quite rightfully, an entry fee. Message delivered? Yes! Preachy? No. Neat job there Mr. director. The other subplots as well, like the one involving a physically challenged guy who salvages a hooker, and another about a blind, old man who earns his living selling knickknacks on the busy lanes, though being borderline melodramatic at times, are meritorious tales of courage and determination.
Now, it is the central plot where, to me, the problem arises. It has its moments, agreed. The public callout in little towns and villages for ‘sales boys/girls wanted at a prestigious retailer in Chennai’, almost mirroring onetime ‘speaker-auto-advertisements’ for cinemas, both arousing similar levels of curiosity and interest, and eliciting response of the same kind, is an heart-wrenching scene depicting the sad state of affairs in such places. The murky side of the glitz and glamour business getting elucidated - young men and women picked for the job based on one’s liability: no father, higher liability, one stays responsible on job; monthly ‘settlements’ to government officials: cops, officers and officials of different departments being paid off every month; inhumane conditions of basic aspects of living, namely food and shelter: ruthless places reminiscent of ghettos or Nazi concentration camps. The director stays firm on his stand on displaying disturbing visuals without any dilution. By now, the viewer is more than aware of the central theme, for every aspect in the film is suggestive of the plight and suffering of the characters, which is what the director originally set out to do, I wager. The problem is that he doesn’t stop there. He goes on to show extensive footages of the misery and cruelty meted out to the characters, comfortably coating each scene in melodrama. Everything is over the top, most of the times, be it the acting, dialogs, camera angles or background music. Subtlety, suddenly seems like a quality not worthy of possessing. ‘There’s no subtlety in the real world. Life’s ruthless, gruesome and morbid’ I can hear some argue. Well, I don’t disagree. But when this is being attempted to showcase to an audience, does subtlety rob away any of the impact? When the spread’s already laid out wholly, does it not suffice? Does it also necessitate spoon feeding to ensure the person being served is actually receiving it? Beyond a point it actually feels as though the director’s just ramming stuffs down one’s throat.
And it is then, that film viewing ceases to be a collaborative effort and becomes an one sided assault, a rape.
Is subtlety a skill or a choice? In this very film, the director does show instances of subtly expressing grief, like in the flashback where the hero’s father is shown getting killed when a train runs over a truck he’s travelling in. The father’s track in the movie is not more than a handful of scenes, but within this span it does get conveyed that he wanted his son to be educated and grow up to have a better living, unlike his own. His death isn’t dramatic and drawn out, but that doesn’t take away from the shock. So, subtlety isn’t something that’s beyond this director’s grasp. The question that comes up next is: why subtlety? Didn’t the master filmmaker Kubrick himself show long, extensive passages of torture and brutality in ‘A Clockwork Orange’? What about Kieslowski’s elaborate depiction of a cold blooded murder in ‘A Short Film About Killing’? When films such as these are hailed as masterpieces, why pan something like Angadi Theru, or another film that I’d bracket along with this one, Bala’s Naan Kadavul? Does this boil down to an individual’s capacity of viewing something morbid, a certain level beyond which the film turns sore? Or is it about what else a film has in offer, apart from the melodrama and gore, i.e., the content and its presentation? In this case, does it become a trade-off to dismiss, forget, forgive or even further, to accept and consume the ‘raw matter’? Why then do certain films give this feeling of arm-twisting the audience, making their stomach churn and then milking them off emotionally? I try to think hard, but my mind just lingers on the words ‘grasp over filmmaking’.

Just read your piece, KV. Wonderfully written.
For me, being slightly detached emotionally as a person, I see the whole thing as a thriller. It's all there, protagonists hit by one obstacle after another, one trouble after another and how he and she wriggled themselves out of it. It worked well for me.

Speaking out of turn and just an observation, The time when the movie was released was very sticky. It was Deepavali 95. Political Times of Tamil Nadu. Rajni had his own release Muthu then.

Yaarukku Yaaro - Best movie ever....
A splendid movie about guy in love triangle drama. Two heroines love same guy, who will end up with who?...
Sam Anderson, a revolution in acting, no awards can justify his acting skills. All the actors has to learn from Sam Anderson how to act and keep audience glued to seat...(some of audience went under the seats during whole movie.. dont know why).
Jothi the lead heroine looked pretty good, she is a scoop as a heroine. Varnika the other heroine did fair job, how dare she insult Sam Anderson the ultimate hero in film history!
Comedy didnt click well in movie. Baandu and Venniraaadai Moorthy, made easy money doing nothing in the movie.
Songs are choreography are the highlights... especially Raasathi song, an unforgettable evergreen song.
Kubrick, Coppola, Spielberg-... and Joe Stanley joins the list as one of the best directors in world. He is a multitalent.
The movie was too preachy about christianity in beginning, which is a minus.
I have seen many movies in my life, but Yaarukku Yaaru will be on number one spot for decades...

Saw Avan Ivan and Aaranya kaandam.
Will post in detail later (have to...)
In short, AK is an awesome spectacle(very pulp, very violent, not for pamily audience, yada yada).
Real smart lines, editing and camera angles. Really the smartest thamizh movie in a long long long time.
AvanIvan was surprisingly good for me. The character of Highness is the best written one in this year.
GM Kumar is the real hero and I enjoyed the earthly humour in the movie. Arya is awesome whenever
he has to go overboard - the drunken bawling after the "navarasa" sequence was superb.
Aaranya Kaandam lives up to its hype and much more.. The movie simply has my fingers itching to go non stop at the keyboard...
However the unearthly hour asks me to write more tomorrow...

Story & parts of dialog already read in the corresponding thread. I don't think the RamaNarayanan stuff was there in the original story which is the addition in the movie and somewhat irritating (except the kick to the "minor" which was hilarious).
Social commentary without loudness / humor / sticking to a simple story to make a full length movie / very limited dramatisms / nativity stuff / performances of actors.... to Suseendran! (ofcourse, suveet rAsA to package the whole deal in finesse).
My b-i-l, who watched with me on DVD, also watched in theater in Chennai after not-getting-ticket-a-few-times and was assertive that the movie was a big hit. If it did, very deservingly so

Joe, apdi ellAm pin vAnga kUdAdhu.
Did Rajini say in any Lalettan/Mammokka function about following their footsteps. He won't. Because he didnt follow them. While I share the visceral, rabid hate for Amit-ji's superstar persona,(well, actually, the myth associated with the persona rather than the persona itself - for I was a Amit-ji-the-superstar fan too in early eighties) it is true that Rajini remade a whole lot of Amit-ji movies so it isnt surprising he gives credit to Amit-ji for that.
Kamal and NT -
a) It might be news to youngsters born in the 80s but NT was/is the benchmark for acting in Southern states since the 50s and 60s. From Thilakan to Victory Venkatesh to Mohanlal to Mammotty to Suresh Gopi, everyone acknowledges this fact. It is no wonder Rajini acknowledges the same. He doesnt throw a general "I follow NT" blurb. He says specifically about "yAradi nee mohini", "yAr andha nilavu" and "pudhiya paravai" and how he incorporated those into his "style". If someone cannot apply their mind to this specific attribution, then it is clear that that is their pre-judice or jaundice or whatever -ice you call it.
b) Rajini narrates incidents of how KB used to implore him to watch Kamal and learn during the latter's scenes being shot. Kamal was a senior, a succesful one, and a model to aspire during Rajini's days as a film-institute student. Again, not surprising he admits to the influence.
I havent seen him claiming NTR influence so I take it was just an hypothetical attribution to Rajini. Even NTR's sons wont claim he is equal to NT in acting so I am not too worried about Rajini - hypothetically - claiming NTR is a mix of MGR-and-Sivaji in an hypothetical function in (what Telengana activists would believe is) hypothetical United States of Andhra
Even if he does, you could take it as a nod to the fact that there wasnt a clear demarcation of MGR/Sivaji in Telugu moviedom. NTR, on one hand did MGR-like movies and on the other hand, was part of typical NT-like social, dramatic pot-boilers. In general, you could say NTR is the MGR equivalent and ANR the Sivaji equivalent but the fact that ANR wasnt a patch on Sivaji, and the fact that NTR himself wasnt too behind ANR in acting stakes kind of punctures that narrative. In Tamil, it was clera that Sivaji was thousands of miles ahead of MGR in the acting stakes. Not so in Telugu hence you could see such a claim as an equivalence rather than "equal"
That, then, Joe, is the facts for people to mull. People reading the thread can decide whether to mull over these facts or emotional, know-it-all, firm, non-negogtiable, un-backed-up assertions of a fan.

but Rajini is inspired from sivaji is a fact u can establish from his acting itself isnt it and not statements?? even thengai srinivasan is a sivaji wannabe - sagikka mudiyadhu, and but rajini improvised sivaji style and his own style - there lies the greatness of rajini, the actor.......i dont think there is any mistake in accepting this, Sarna

Maddy, it was rsubras who brought in Rajini's statement. I am not quoting that as supporting documentation. As you said, it is pretty obvious from Rajini's work - he need not explicitly admit.
That's why I said I am not too worried if Rajini says NTR is a "Sivaji pAdhi, MGR pAdhi sErndhu seidha kalavai"
Also, the difference in Rajini's statement about Sivaji's influence is that he actually corroborates it with specific examples from Sivaji's ouevre and how he adapted it. So, there is a case to take his comments on NT inspiration as genuine.
As regards Kamal's DSP comments, adihcu thuvaichu kAya pOttAchu. Unforgiveable. No excuses regarding movie promotion, stage-mike-induced-ularal etc

2. Simbu speaks Telugu to the villain. If I were the villain, I'll drop arms right there and surrender.
Such intellectual brilliance was too much for me, especially when coupled with Simbu's chewing method of dialogue delivery and permanent smirk passing off for all sorts of expressions.

just my thought....i dont like Sivaji's acting style..yes it was theatre era but even melodramatic performances i just felt that it was Sivaji acting but never felt that character..I prefer Kamal and Rajini styles..they presented different ways of acting...Rajini's way of acting was more in a flow i guess..it was not too complicated..easya perform panra madhiri irukkum..obviously inspiration irukkum from NT...but he will definitely have his own stamp in every expression he gives..for me he is the most expressive actor,actually the body language of his is copied by not many other actors but even lot of us..eppadiyo avaroda inspiration vandhidum..and Kamal i think is the most natural performer ever..even though he was also from the theatre era..lot of his performances after revisits i felt was very natural..pesum padam is a testimony to his acting abilities and comedy is the toughest part of acting right?..and who else other than Kamal has the timing and the expressions in this department?..never ever felt it is Kamal acting in any movie..it is the character..the most versatile actor in the world..oru thenavettave solren and only Parthiban had the guts to say "NTye nimirdhu parkum ore nadigan Kamal"..so for me these 2 legends showcase better acting than anyone else...IMVHO

One more impressive twist in this movie. Hero(simbu) name is jeeva. Villain-cum-police lal name is also jeeva. And GVM movies sadai kinda villain name is also Jeeva. idha twist'a vachchi budhisaalithanamaa nammala confuse panna try panraanga. Originally Posted by Sarna

oru scene : scene Jeeva(lal) goes to kill jeeva(sadai villain). And jeeva(simbu) goes to kill jeeva(?). We think its jeeva the sadai villain. adhaan illla.... jeeva(simbu) goes to kill Jeeva(lal). but at the end of the scene, none kills none.
And there is lot of buildups scenes for simbu:
In one scene, local police arrests simbu and locks him in the lockup. At that time, a higher official goes there and sees simbu and talks to simbu " ayya, neenga pOnga, ivanga theriyaama pannittaanga" and talks to the lower official " ivar yaaru theriyumaayaa"
In another scene, one college students brings his MLA father to warn Simbu. But, as soon as his MLA father sees simbu, he gets scared and starts beating his son. And then talks to simbu" ayya, en payyan neenga enna vEnumnaalum pannalaam, adinga, midhinga, kollunga estra estraa".
Then there is a flashback : Avalude raavugal heroine is the DON-the karuppaayi aathaa of the theni village. And his one-man-army is simbu. And simbu's aththai-cum-lover is sangeetha. Sangeetha tries to seduce simbu(pin-naveenathuvamaam). And there volutariliy comes lal and gets insulted by karuppaayi aathaa and kills karuppaayi aathaa. Now simbu wants to take a revenge on Lal. thus flash-back over. now we come to understand that why jeeva(simbu) goes to kill Jeeva(lal).
Jeeva(lal) has a beautiful daughter vedika. By kidnapping her, simbu makes Jeeva(lal) to come to theni and finishes him. Thatshow the movie completes. I dunno what happened the jeeva(sadai villain).
Overall engaging but not an interesting movie

Rajini's acting inspired from Sivaji's acting may be a coincidence. From my understanding KB was impressed by Rajini's style and mannerisms and that was the reason he introduced him to Cinema. Rajini's acting in the later stages may be in influenced by Sivaji's acting but I think style and mannerism of Rajini is his own.
As far as the acting of Sivaji goes, you can ignore Sivaji's acting calling it as melodrama but no one deny the fact that he is the only person, who was born with acting talent. It was very unfortunate that we did not have enough talent in our industry to exploit his acting talents.

-I know I haven't seen the original, so can't understand why you guys say Kamal was so and so here. He was fantastic. Maybe for Kamal this is just another day job, while for Chiranjeevi this is Oscar material.
-Gemini, one of his best.

Grouch,
You tempted me to watch Poikkaal Kuthirai. Thank you. Wonderful film. This film is based on crazy's popular drama ' A marriage made in saloon'. Screenplay and direction by KB. Story and Dialogues by crazy Mohan. Still last 1 hour to go, may be tomorrow I will continue, but could not resist posting this.
Can't stop laughing, very hilarious and sensible too. Story and dialogues by crazy mohan. Every minute we are in for a big hilarious treat. Some portions I loved.
Sambandam (Vaali sir) bets Indhu (indrajeet) that if he fails loving his daughter he has to shave his head and roam around mylapore. The following two dialogues are based on this:
Indhu: Adutha varusham sir veetla thala deepaavali
Sambandam: vaasthavam thaanda. Adhutha varusham, unakku 'thala' deepaavalithaan
Ravindar: Paathiya guru (to kamal's picture), sorkathila aava vendiyathu saloon'la ayirkuthu
Kamal: rendum onnuthaan, ithu mattum ennavaam, 'saloon sorgam'
Indhu's Appa: Nethu Un Progress report vanthathu, onnum uruppadra maadhiri theriyala. Aamaam Ellathuleyum noothukku 20 marku.
Indhu: Neenga sonna namba maateenga. Enakku pinnala ukkanthukkittu, enna paarthu copy adicha en friend raajappa'vukku ella paritchaiyilum 80.
Appa: Ennada Ithu nambave mudiyala
Indhu: Ennakku munnaadi ukkaanthavana paarthu naan copy adichen. Avanukkum 80 pa.
Appa: Aana unakku mattum noothukku 20. Eppidra ithu.
Indhu: Avanga rendu perum physics, naduvual naan chemistry aache
Indhu: Nee ethu varaikkum padichirukka
Nitya: BA padichirukkanam, aana naduvula intha SSLC, PUC aayirathettu edanjal irunthadhanaala padikkala
Indhu: Saaral adikkuthu jannal'a saathu. Athula neethaan hero
Nitya: Ennaala mudiyumaa sir
Indhu: Jannala saatha mudiyaatha unnala
Nitya: Sir naan romba kuLLam
Indhu: sari, appo title'a maatha sollidalaam
Nitya: Ennannu?
Indhu: Saaral adikkuthu Keezh jannal'a saathu
One kavithai by Janaki's (viji) mama
kannaadi munnaadi ninnaadi kandaadi thindaadi kondaadi malar sendaadi
pandhaadi vandhaadi ava pinnaadi ennaadi sonnaadi
Full film is available on youtube.

Uyarntha Ullam- revisit.
-Actually the beginning parts are quite hillarious, in a only Kamal possible way.
- Comparison with Avanthan Manithan is inevitable. In AM, NT is a businessman who gets the wrong end of a stick, starting with disaster actually (ship sinking). But there, Kamal is just guy wants to have fun, and instead was taken for a ride.
- Kamal is essentially a ten year old in an adult's body. Just want to have fun. Terribly innocent.
- Turned out I can remember Enna vEnum song, line by line. Not that it's an awesome song, but the jazzy composition is just up there.
- Worthy entertainer.

Tharmattin Talaivan revisit.
- The kind of comedy that only Rajini can get away with. I recall mother asking then (hc fan, by the way), how can someone as intelligent as a professor be stupidly amnesiac like this. Truth is, there are really lots of absent minded intelligent fellows.
- Prabhu supposed to fulfil his brother's promise of getting, "nalla mappilai". Instead he got a rowdy just because he looks like his brother.
- Feels more like Prabhu show.
- What's the original of this film? Amitabh?

Of course, Andha Oru Nimidham is crap. Maybe for friendship with Major. But UU and Per Sollum Pillai both for AVM, basically recycling old template. I am sure Kamal would have wanted that sort of storyline, as in an interview (celebrating AVM's 50th year I think), for PSP, he said that he actually wanted Padikatha Methai-ish storyline and got it's author KSG in for story. So, it's Kamal approved!
Kakkichattai is a fantastic joy ride. Easily, a classic. Going back to UU, wonderful songs. Engge En Jevane (IR version also good), Ottachattiya vacchukittu, Kalai Thendral, and the brilliant, VanthAl MahAlakshmiyE....

Indian - This movie is pure Shanker movie and Kamal just acted in this movie and he done his job excellently.
Shanker's touches :
1. Manorama explaining to another lady about the File-moving-process at the government offices.
2. The reaction and the avEsamaana kumural by manorama when the person tears her approved forms(10000rs as nashta eedu for killing an uyir).
3. The way, the old kamal(nErmai'yaana manidhar) is treated when he begs to save her still-alive-but-semi-burnt-daughter by the government doctor, government police, government veo.
4. The character selection for the "opicer". The people who has visited government offices in TN can see the creatures(which have 0% manidhaabimaanam) resembling Senthil. And Senthil has acted like those creatures excellently, yeah, he is really a very good actor.
5. Pre-independent scenes. The way he showed the unity and dhesapatru among tamilians.
6. Paavaada naada kOrkkuradhu, water tank clean panradhu.... believe, they are still happenening in india
Kamal : Kamal is really uber-cool when he is acting under other directors 100% controll. He is in 80's mode for songs.
Overall 100% entertainer.

From: Plum on 17th August 2011 04:05 PM [Full View]
adhAvadhu Bala, as we observed before as a quite clinching pattern, Rajini kicks the bucket just after being engaged to Suhasini - before the wedding.
In a rare gesture of humanity, Suhasini decides to spare other men of the danger by opting for Widowhood, despite still technically being eligible. Hence the second word in "Wannabe Widow"
However, SPM has no such mercy on Rajini, and creates another version of him, and attaches him to Suhasini. And Suhasini, reversing her rare human gesture, gladly opts to punish Rajini. Hence the first word in "Wannabe Widow".

Naan Mahaan Alla - Very good
A movie with a bright first half and dark 2nd half. Story is a about a a guy who loses his father, and how he revenges the death of the father.
Karthi acted well in the movie, I didnt like his first movies (Paruthi Veeran, Aayirathil Oruvan) but after movies like Paiya, Siruthai, Naan Mahaan Alla, i have become his fan. Kajal Agarwal only appears in 1st half and couple of scenes in 2nd half, not enough scope for her in the movie, but she is ok. Jayaprakash is the highlight as a sympathic father in the movie. I think its Lakshmi Narayanan who was Karthi's mother in the movie, but not sure. Villain gang is also noteworthy, they run the show most of the movie, kudos for showing some of the most mean villains i seen in tamil movie and not goofy villains as per tradition.
Another plus for the movie are the BGM and songs by Yuvan Shankaraja. Raja aadchi throughout the movie.
Director Suseendran made a good movie, the only thing I dislike abt the movie is it ended too soon. could have been 20 mins longer...

"Mandhira Punnagai"
finally found some time and with some convincing, some company too to watch this movie
have been putting it off in the face of other more shinier fare...
If it were not for hollywood clinching on this idea before
I think there is a chance to be genuinely taken with this twist
as far as Tamil movies go..it seems like a genuine effort and should be lauded
weak points are the second half plodding along and deflating the built-up tension
and ending is a pleaser that disappoints...if issues could be solved with just asking "why are you like this??"
then what a much simpler life there would be to lead...
still really like the songs
IMHO worth a watch.

I partially like the movie. The good part is the comedy and songs... bad part.. is the 1st heroine's character.. very snobbish and stubborn like sadha in unnale unnale... I would have prefered lead male to unite with 2nd heroine instead...
Another thing that irrtates me is the preachy dialogues... audience are no fools to be adviced what to do.. in a particular situation...

watched this movie second time..only half though ...felt really annoying...this time i felt completely opposite to what i felt on the first watch..the comedy never erupts laughter one bit,i have never liked his comedy except NK..the direction the movie was heading was unknown even to Bala.even if the movie is based so heavily on characters..there also i felt Arya and Vishal were too much over the top..Vishal has strained himself ok agreed..bravo..but acting ellam enna seyararne theriyale..mainly because of too much imitation of bala i guess and the heroines.why are they there?.why arya and vishal love them?why they love them back?..and the 2 families start off fighting each other and they reunite after 4 scenes...i havent watched his films more than once except Sethu..may be i should stick to that..now i have a doubt that i may not like his other films again except Sethu ..AI is a bad film and certainly does not deserved to be called a hit..IMHO

This is not propelled by revisit - just thinging about both films.
I caught only the last few mins and found it excellent - Dhanush, Kishore (samudhrakkani) and VISJ (iLayavEL).
I still feel the climoks is too wordy- he explains why he is leaving town one too many times - but makkaLukku puriyaNum etc. so fine.
Want to watch it again.

Actually there are a couple of 'silent' scenes in the 2nd half that show pettai sitting / walking alone in front of his house. Brilliantly handled. Vetri's framing is superb too and those scenes / shots are enough for me to actually 'believe' pettai's actions. And he was always shown as a 'thaan dhaan' type of guy. And there were a few wordy scenes as well. Allakkais saying Karuppu > Pettai (orE naalla TV-la intree etc).
And Vetri's writing, almost all the characters were beautifully written. Ayup, inspector, dhanush friend, nicholas, pettai wife, even the cliched mother etc. Pettai's wife saying, 'enakkum vesaththa vechchi konnru' without actually asking pettai why he did that was nice. Romance was quite OK. And she was actually responsible for a couple of superb scenes (Railway contract, her exchanges with pettai).
Dhanush's *monologue* to Irene after mummy's death was idhu idhu nalla sentiment, theivathirumagallayum kaatinaaingalE
Yuddham Sei, best thriller ever. First 2 hours. Last 30 mins, rembavE vazhukkkiruch. PP seen it 2-3 times, first half nalla irunch, 2nd half very sumaar. Dhanus super.

what is exactly this Neo-Noir kind of films???...films which have crime as the background? or a film which is structured in some chronological order(pulp fiction)?..or the film's protagonists are shown as the bad guys?..or the theme and the color of the film is generally dark?..or a very serious subject which or a thriller with a doze of humor or something called as black comedy?..or everything put together..
anyone kindly explain please

In short Film-noir or neo noir are crime drama film's. They are not necessarily thrillers but good crime films with a tone of darkness/mystery around em. It could be anything like a great plot (Pulp Fiction) great performances(The usual suspects, Chinatown, Se7en) or stylistic story telling (NCFOM).
Eyes wide shut by kubrick is a very mysterious (although not entirely an crime) film. That could also be a neo noir.

Noir is also supposed to have a mysterious female who is playing the male characters to her whims but probably without them realising it.

There is one scene in the sequence where lawlessness erupts as police is on strike
Rowdies kidnap one newlywed bride at aruvaa-point and take away in an auto.
People appeal to police, Thalaivaasal Vijay gets all emotional and cries out and police start beating up the complainants.
TVs capture this. CM sees the telecast and comes over to the policemen to appeal to their better sensibilities.They relent and decide to show 'police power'.
One law enforcement team stops the auto - with the newlywed bride - which is still on its way
Two rowdies are held by scruff of their neck by two aruvaaL wielding (!) policemen. They decide the course of justics would be bobbitting them.
The camera frame is waist up and the audience is to infer the gruesome punishment from the position of the aruvaaLs and reactions of the two rowdies - whose arms are free but they do not bother defending themselves for such a minor carriage of justice.
One rowdy's reaction is a horrendous howl of pain, the other looks at him and glumly while he too is presumably undergoing the same surgical intervention at that time. And as an afterthought lets out a mild expression of discomfort.
Hilarious!

deivaththirumakaL
all portions that do not have Vikram are OK.
Vikram on screen = boring / sodhappal / izhuvai etc, despite the cute little girl!
no asingam, no himsai so got approval from the "family audience"
Vikram should do a full-fledged-do-gooder-masAlA (no gimmicks, no negative shades, thorough MGR-like masAlA) urgently!
All songs should have been deleted from the film which could have made it more tolerable.
to Anushka, Nasar & Santhanam, good job!

Now, I have to find a way to start the movie, skip the romance, and catch the rest from the beginning.

Mandhira Punnagai : The movie progresses at a jet speed as if like watching bolt sprint and thrown in the other world of Hitchcock's movie or the latest Darren Affonsky 's befuddling psychotic thrillers. The movie starts with an unusual yet a scary exposure of hundreds of different day-to-day faces in a single song. But one face that have completely engrossed me till the end is his dark beard and unphotogenic specs of mysterious mind and his interaction with his father. I sincerely don't want to exploit the plot much for others to watch and admire this gripping screenplay. When I thought the movie is going to end the intermission came. It gives me shivers even now what he confronts to the doctor. Never expected the girl Meenaxi to be so good and the boozing partners never irritated me though there are also momentarily laughs at site as well. The love angle works out on so many levels. Well written, Dialogues ellam therikkuthu.
Opening song is terrific no. reminiscent of early raaja's similar song. Thani poda vaa.. ithukku melayuma was a speedbreaker. Other two songs enna kuraiyo and megam vanthu pogum are too good. Kathir watches Meenaxi from the balcony is the BGM to look for.
Hats off to Karu Pazhaniappan Sir! Shame, I didn't know that he is Karu till I google and find. Having watched both his earlier films I have to say this is bloody brilliant, audacious attempt, rare breed from the industry. I withdraw my earlier nomination which I forgot now and this is certainly movie of 2010 .
I am going to watch it again

Who played that fathers character? The flashback script is just a case in reference in the society how poorly some good family relations gets affected and request the viewers not to pay much of your attention or confused on that.
How was the reaction Was the director/film got bullied. Thats not fair!

*Mankatha*
watched thanks in great part to megaskipper.com so i can watch mega video/video bb without time limit...
guys should learn to dress from Ajith in this movie and from Billa
Premgi seemed kinda misplaced here...like he just waltzed into this movie playing same character
songs were ok but really liked Ajith's intro music
overall an action packed movie with good details...i liked how they showed how and not just the what...esp. how Vinayak really is a conniving, charming cad...his money madness is too good...
liked the collage scene of Ajith waiting around that gorgeous condo of his...
though felt ending bit tacked on...

Mankatha : Mr. GEM, antha gun'a konjam kudunga VP thalaya konjam soriyanum
What is this? An out-and-out rehash of Saroja's twist written with pen or gun. Atleast Saroja was mildly interesting Prakash raj & Jayaram puts a decent performance here both the king maker & action king are mere jokers scratching their heads with their phones and guns. Saroja has few other things set right the timer, gang mess-up, negotiation, the twist and the ending in the railway station.
With his brother up to his tail, he needs to seriously stay away from thrillers, kidnapping/ robbery or any action scripts. Its really irritating to see them spoof/imitate earlier instances at every given chance.
I'm only impressed with the cop Ganesh played by Ashwin Kakumanu This guy really has the spark of shining to a better actor.
VP needs to hire a better script writer with his comic sense and a talented gang he can work out a full out-and-out comedy show say a remake of 'kasedhan kadavulada'.

GVM making a Rajnikanth movie? No way! This could have been easily the biggest blockbuster ever in IFI rather it turned out to be one disastrous, revengeful attempt by hiring a proxy to direct. GVM lets his frustration out on several aspects by his trademark citified style.. No Intro, No sentiments, No motivational songs, No French dialoq’s, No gravity defying stunts, No Goundamani or Janakaraj or even Sarathbabu for that matter and most importantly no heroine/dreamy duets to the bada bhai. Instead what he did is dubbed his voice, narrated the story, inserted a red chip of Myskin’s Narain character with lot of tenterhooks on the brother’s fib.
Reel 1 scene 1) What an idea Sirji. I bet, no one will guess this. Next time we hear something wrong under sea level we will think about it.
Reel 1 Scene 2 minus 1) 18 yrs flashback, the actual intro. Two young sons (Balaji & Karthik), Mother on the deathbed, Father (Jyoti) is irresponsible, drunkard enters home in need of money beats wife and curse to death. Out of helplessness, the mother ask the eldest son to poison (add to medicine) her without even knowing him <note this Climax indicator >
Reel 2 - end) Usually you have a Nagesh bhai or a Nayakar bhai to salvage these kids here you have a muted painter who have no connection to the real life while you see her daughter romancing his brother in the same house. I am terribly confused what she called him at several places.
The Senthamarai Father now grown upto a local ‘mama paiyan’ an addresse of Ammaji has an eye on the girl and wants to patch up with his sons. The eldest is a repelling magnet and the youngest being weak, innocent college going two-wheeler somehow pulled into a mess through his die hard friend (Vishnu -inplace of Janakaraj) for the sake of his pro & china thool business. Vishnu and his father's relationship is another unexpected twist.
The greatness of this bada bhai is he doesn’t give a long lecture or plays his fav ipod song whenever his brother commits wrong he leaves silently unnoticed with a few slaps and hits on the head.................................. With no helm how he discovers the truth and recovers his brother from ammaji & jail is all the movie about.
After a long hiatus of rap filled sword swing stunts between the brothers vs china thool gang, father vs ammaji <sathak> <sathak> the family settles for a final gathering. Fill that indicator and you see them come out with bursting crackers.
Veppam is a not so brilliant, digitally re-mastered cracks of the past.
What a miss of a golden opportunity Mr. GVM! You could have comfortably made another 10 films with this script.

Finally...and I really mean Finally! Got to watch "Aavatharam"
Raja's voice fit so well for Nasser...new appreciation for "Arithaaratha Poosikolla Aasai"
Had that dreadful feeling from the beginning...always a mess when hero is a such a simpleton...esp. with "Chandirarum Sooriyarum" song...the impending doom was really palpable then,
they couldn't have found a creepier villain....waves of disgust and repulsion for sure
towards the end...all this injustice...but lacking power...kind of yeah I get it...but somehow not enough...maybe I'm desensitized after watching movies by Bala...

100% love (telugu) - 50 % interesting 50 % boring (watched with english subtitles as usual)
The main problem about the movie is the hero Naga Chaitanya. In the beginning of the movie he sounded very much like his father. He fits bill as arrogant guy, but lacks in romancing, dancing,
fighting, comedy. tamannah did her job well, IMO her best movie since
Kanden Kadhalai.
DSP totally dissapointing with the songs, BGM is okay.

sAjan - Madhuri Dixit / Sanjay Dutt / Salman Khan
Around 1 hour of songs in a 3 hour movie sweettO sweet songs!
SPB doing playback for Salman, singing a number of songs - including the jiyE tO jiyE which has 3 versions with participation by 4 singers. Obviously, the Pankaj Udhas version (that I had on my T series CD and enjoyed for years) is the best musically while the SPB version is the best fit for a movie
Though the movie is long (konjam illa rombbba long) and very predictable, the songs make one sit thru it.
There are two other (less than the songs) reasons:
a) Madhuri Dixit - must be in the "top 5" dancers among heroines of all time, in the Indian movie scene! enna oru precision
b) oru hero poet and heroine dancer and the platonic thingy between them - is interestingly told (though I couldn't appreicate the "poem" part of it due to my limited Hindi)

Vellore Maavattam - predictable cop movie
A story about how a honest sincere cop and his struggle with criminal politicians and dons. Nandha did okay job. Poorna was barely used in the movie. my highlight was santhanam and his comedy esp " ohm jimbalakkadi bamba" comedy was hilarious, he is usual himself with hardhitting one-liners. Azhagam perumal (Dum Dum Dum director), also made a convincing performance as a baddie.
Sundar C Babu, did ok on BGM, the item song sounded good IMO.
The director tried to play safe bet making a typical cop movie, on his next venture he should try making daring scenes, best of luck Manohar.

Samurai - Above average
Pretty good movie IMO, the movie dealth with corruption in india. I lost a bit respect for Vikram after watching Kandhasamy, but this movie made me respect him more like an actor. Anitha or whatever her name is now hasnt much to do, in the movie than being a pain in the ass, same with Shreya Reddy. The drawback is you know the mask will fall off and the hero will win sympathy with masses and therefore u can easily predict the end of the movie.
Dialogues and Screenplay are very good. Harris Jeyaraj did good job on most songs except the song with Shreya Reddy and Anitha or whatever her name is now.
I didnt like Kadhal, Kalloori, but this movie directed by Balaji Sakthivel is pretty good to me

We'd all be freaked out (of my mind) by Vijay if he plays a 40-50+ aged guy. Ajith has a big edge there. I think he's the man to take over the mantle. OR whatever that means.

Hey Ram. What. Ay. What. Ay. What. Ay.Saarug - despite several claims on his behalf by southie fans that this is his best - is the weak link. The performance doesn't hold up in retrospect but with his standard tics cleverly managed by Director Kamal, just about fits in. He even manages the (copyrighted) arms wide apart, lips quivering, inciting the loved one (Saketh Ram here) to run to him and embrace him.To Kamal's credit then that the best portion is still the one in Old Delhi. That alone is a movie by itself.And Kamal's performance If ever a man deserved to hog every frame of a 3.5 hour movie, this is the man and this is the movie. the effortless switch to iyagnarese while defending Saarug to Delhi Ganesh as his deranged brother converted to islam for love after maintaining an accent neutrality for a large part in keeping with Saketh's life trajectory - class.That whole Soda factory sequence is strewn with gems despite the thin line between indhu-muslim-bhai-bhai cliches and high philosophy musings.- neeyumAdA Ram as Saarug realises this Saketh is a different animal- the way the protector turns into protected in an instant as the pursuing mob turns from muslim into Hindu. - Saketh's confused feelings towards Amjad and his invoking of their friendship and rationalised thoughts towards religious harmony. "En manasu mArradhukulla pOyidu"(a cliche by itself for the situation except that the director is Kamal and he puts layers over it)). It is less of "leave before I change my mind and shoot you" than "leave before you change my mind and rationalise your perfectly reasonable views on me and I am shorn of my irrational hate"- this is the clear precursor to his shooting of delhi ganesh as he is rather easily de-mesmerised.Very deliciously executed by Director Kamal.And may I add that perhaps, Kamal's understanding of Gandhi is much more nuanced and listen-worthy than the de-layered reverence on one hand and the iconoclastic but ignorant dismissal on the other hand.A movie that deserves much bigger status than as a minor cult-classic only among Kamal fans.

Bala - incredibly, only the second time of full watch. That too, with Kalaignar TV cuts. While the phamily friendly cuts were understandable given the timing of telecast, some of them were annoying. Like, they cut to adverts as Saketh runs away from the blind muslim child caught in the riots, and after the adverts, you have Abhayankar having the most perfunctory of conversations in the tram before jumping out as the Police round up. That goose-pimply abhivaadhye introduction of Abhayankar, and Saketh, even in the hatred induced numbness and trance, still not embracing this strange man and his philosophy straightaway, his confusion over why he is doing what he is doing and Abhayankar's tracer bullet judgement of Saketh and planting the seed of hatred etc - all lost in translation.Another nuance to mention - although not perhaps a nuance given it is underlined rather heavily - is Altaf Tailor's conditioned "salaam saab" response to a past, present and prospective client Saketh Ram no matter the circumstances of encounter. Even as he, with brethren, damages passing automobiles, his first reaction when he sees Saketh inside one of the taxis, is t say "salaam saab". He makes feeble attempts to stop his brethren from attacking this taxi, gratuitiously smiling at Saketh, only to swish a rotten vegetable at the rear of the vehicle when out of Saketh's view. It might be all right to indulge in some violence on "direct action day" but the business man in him is still alive to the reality of required business from Ram when the situation turns normal. The way benefactor-beneficiary relationships change in abnormal circumstances cannot be more beautifully caught. The practical compartmentalisation within Altaf's mind is a huge clue to what causes riots even by otherwise normal, respectable people - Altaf later pleading mercy to the gun-toting Saketh blames it on the "maaf kar do saab; woh mohol hi kuchch aisa thaa saab; log paagal ho jaate hai".In a poignant twist, Altaf's instinctive first reaction to the arrival of Saketh both as he is vandalising the latter's house and wife, and later, when a vengeful Saketh confronts him with a gun, is, "salaam saab".Makes one look inward into one's mind and ask "What would YOU do in an abnormal situation? Would you stick to known morals or stick to the courtesies instinctively but proceed to perform the hideous act, perhaps a pent up anger or jealousy or impotent rage giving expression to itself?"

'Roja', after eons. A lot of scenes where total #facepalm. Makes no impact now. What really surprised me was, lot of Sujatha's "vattAra vazhakku" dialogues sounds a bit artificial now.
I have two imporant questions though. The print I saw had two eyebrow-rising things - before the title card it said, "dedicated to all victims of global terrorism" or something to that effect. And the film's title, after all those rose-flower-graphic, had a tag line, "the power of real love". Were these really a part of the film?

Yudham Sei - finally watched, though the story's twist was readily revealed by reviewers still worth the watch. Jayaprakash looks like he's taking a walk in the park and still excels...can even forgive how long his dying narrative was, the scene where Cheran starts running after peeking in the door and the scenes where boxes appear were taken very well. The technique reminds me of that scene in Anjathey. Cheran less crying but still reveals much agony. Knife fight slick but kind of doesn't fit, kudos for soundtrack very fitting and hitchcockish waiting to hear from more of this K's work.

Hey Ram is like that old, cynical, terribly intelligent uncle that you are afraid of visiting and pray will not visit your family. You know who he is and how awesome, but you don't want to be sneered at, or your parents be told that this kid needs more growing up to do. I salute the movie, but scared to watch it again.

Though kamal does not agree with the fact that Hey Ram was ahead of its time, it was well ahead of its time. Because our viewers are not ready for watching movies like that even now. Almost all dialogues, picturisation challenge and question your view point of the world. When you have so many scenes like that and that too for such a long movie it is next to impossible for ordinary movie fan to enjoy and appreciate the movie. Even those people who labelled this movie as great hardly seen that movie more than twice. It takes repeated viewing to understand the Kamal's perspective on that movie and we are not trained to have patience to watch those kind of movies. In that angle Hey Ram does not have any parallel in Tamil Cinema.

A well plotted film (with deceit of 'revenge' story) with set-pieces, from Bengal riots to Birla house execution, doesn't strike as dereliction of duty, as proved by its endorsement by P_R. It's no "Omdarbadar", so to speak. The prevalent thought of it is a ruminative politico-ideological bore is inexcusable.

The accusation on kamal movies were never new to me . It started from Guna if I remember it correct. Just because they could not understand Guna's character, this is what public told. padam ore bore. oru ezhavum puriyala. Loosu maathiri eduththirukkaan padaththa. once kamal also told in interview that, when one guy asked about the Hey Ram regarding red color for some scene saying that He did not understand. This is what Kamal told. Atleast neenga padam puriyalainnu solReenga aana maththa ellaarum puriyalainna, pidikkalai, bore appadinnu solRaanga. Originally Posted by kid-glove

Badrinath(telugu) - starring Allu Arjun & Tamannah
Horrible movie, with a thin storyline, as usual, some martial arts involved. The leading hero even went to Vietnam to learn Martial Arts for the movie, a shame he wasted time learning that for a waferthin story.
Worst part of this movie was when this tempel guard suddenly wear ski outfits outta nowhere, do they have ski outfits in tempels?
Tamannah has been used a glamdoll throughout the movie, no complains there. She came and she showed skin and went away with lakhs after the movie.
I am pretty sure 7am arivu will better than this, it cant get more lame than Badrinath.

The way the camera moves about in the action in the scene.
So many gradual 180 degree turns, weaving in and out of characters standing in the scene ellAm
Steadycam-layE eduthurupAinga pOla
There is one move through the grains of paddy to the road that splices the fields where Oviya and the other kids cycle to school.
It is NOT a zoom, you can see the grains shaken by the camera, it is unlikely to be a simple movement of the camera forward. Should have been some crafty combination of the two.
The kaLavaaNi chant BGM coming in drunk-effect (complete with hiccup ) when they are all drunk.
So many throwaway, blink and you miss moments, that were lovely.
The scene in the bar in Mannargudi, Pambu keeps kissing one of the guys (Bala?) in a show of emotional support. I found that incredibly funny
Saranya is just beautiful. கம்ப்யூட்டரோ என்னவோ..நமக்கென்ன தெரியுது
The Ranimangalam guys impatient with the old man who is narrating the history. It is for the edification of the audience,so Sargunam wants it to be said but internally acknowledges it can be boring and cuts it. Perhaps done in many movies, but it came out well here.
And the old man actually kinda looks up to Oviya's brother to call the shots (he silences his father). He is the doer. So although he says, 'என்ன வந்தாலும் பார்த்துக்குவோம்' it is pretty much the youngster who would need to take care of things. The old man can at best try and take credit! The old-young relationships come out well.

Portions of "bAghbAn" olichchiththiram on the van (vaNdi OttumpOthu DVD pAkka mudiyAthE).
Between my personal preference of switching to sAjan / salAmi songs, son's iPad songs, the DVD sounds came on and off.
(This Amitabh / Hemamalini Movie was watched by wife & daughter on headphones combleet).
From the dialogs heard now and then, it sounded like old Shivaji movies ('thennaiyappeththA iLaneeru, piLLaiyappeththA kaNNeeru' kind).

ENGEYUM EPPODHUM.... enjoyable film
- didn't liked that the director wanted to give as a message film & a sad ending..
- flashbacks were enjoyable.. i liked Ananya's part more.. though there is no logic like traveling with a stranger in chennai
- reg. heroines.. usually I like Anjali... here i liked Ananya more < expressive eyes & "pushty"ness > [see.. pic]
- few scenes are unintentional fun.. where the director tries to show the yathartham <thru supporting characters>.. it looks like forced
- few really also there
- looking forward for a good love story from this director

My wife isn't a Saarug admirer. Even the excursion to Ravone, I believe, was plotted as a revenge for my Mankatha choice couple of months back. She graduated in the 90s in India. A glorious exception to 19May's rule, and I am proud of itThe upshot of last weekend, though, is that I get to choose the next film to be watched - and I plan to expend this choice on Sri Rama Rajyam.

After listening to the 'yArai nambi nAn poRandhEn pOngadA pOnga' indhi movie's olichchiththiram on the van a couple of weeks back, made to watch on the TV during this weekend (bAghbAn).
Couldn't believe they made a movie with this theme in 2003 and it was a hit. (Simbly 60's material and would have perfectly suited NT in the role AB played).
Ofcourse, AB & HM have done decent work. Though flooded with a lot of 'mikaippaduththal', can watch one time!

The odds of anyone being a hardcore VTR fan is ((1 to 7)/7 billion). I believe the man VTR sees in the mirror is the only confirmed hardcore VTR fan in the world. The second one might be his wife. Possibly, his parents, if they are alive and possibly, one or more of his 3 children. So it is anything between (1/7 Billion) and (7/7Billion)

been out of the HUB loop for awhile, but watched 7lam Arivu in theatres...sadly the front row consisted of not the expected loud movie appreciators....even those i can stand, and to their credit they sing along, whistle, and have some real zingers and one-liners...relatively tamer here...no dancing in the aisles and such...but instead of this type of "fan club" I witnessed a new breed (to me at least) "the paying to loudly announce how bored and what better things they can be doing now" group...
cons
the unreal airbrushed/edited look of Shruti in every single scene, actually kept seeing Tamanna resemblance in song scenes...am i the only one?
that Surya didn't become Bodhi Dharman through hypnosis....come on you even mentioned it in his skills, it would have been more plausible, why not use that instead of the out of the blue "possession"? and waste of time with all that monkeying around in the lab...
o-ringa ringa -very annoying
yamma yamma kadhal ponnama - weak imitator of "anjalae" type of song
what cat did they torture to get the villain's signal music?
pros
the depth of detail/basis for plot line
the beginning
the villain
the end fight

Kudos to NT for taking on an arrogant, egoistic role - a role no major star then and today would want to do! At the age of 35, he played the father of Vijayakumari & Pushpalatha (for more than 90% of the movie). Amazing man.

Recently during a casual conversation was talking about this film and the person with me was quoting the Paar Magale Paar song. He said though in the movie the father asks the girl to leave the house on a misunderstanding and later repents it [the song comes at that juncture], on a closer look the lyrics also reflect the mind of parents who have only daughters and the feeling during the fag end of such persons' lives are brought out so beautifully, commented he. Yes and those lines! Originally Posted by NOV

தந்தை வாழ்வு முடிந்து போனால் தாயின் மஞ்சள் நிலைப்பதில்லை
தாயின் வாழ்வு மறைந்து போனால் தந்தைக்கென்று யாருமில்லை
ஒருவராக வாழுகின்றோம் பிரிவதற்கோ இதயமில்லை
யாருமில்லை உனக்கே என்று ஓடிவிட்டாய் என் மகளே!ஓடிவிட்டாய் என் மகளே!
Kannadasan, VR and TMS!
And the man on screen holding the photo on one hand and his other hand on a conciliatory gesture going round his wife's shoulder slowly walking back from the balcony to his bed would be etched in mind for ever!
Thanks NOV for making me recollect those classic moments.

Aboorva Sagotharargal - IMO Best Kamal movie in this category (pure entertainment)........ oru ordinary story afterall a revenge story that has been beaten to blue since the time movies started coming........ but the way of presentation was simply superb....... imho, employing crazy mohan for the dialogues part was one of the master stroke since that it ensured the movie did not go overboard or be high in the masala content..... and maintained a lighter feel..... Ilaiyaraja's BGM was the co-hero of this film, evoking feelings from the audience exactly the way the screenplay writer Kamal would have wanted... that title BGM was top notch (some experts could do a much better analysis on this BGM), I think even Ilaiyaraja was pretty much impressed with his BGM work in this film and re-used some portions of it in Guna... Songs were very good and provided a lot of variety (1 stylish song in Raja kaiya vecha, one romantic number in Vaalibathin kaathalukku, one pathos song in unai ninaichen, one pattaiya kilappura song in annathe aadurar, one normal song in pudhu mappillaikku) in my view kamal was most handsome in this movie only (the Raja character).... To top all these things is Appu character which was THE USP of this movie.... imho Aboorva Sagotharargal may not be a full meals movie like some of other Kamal movies are but it is definitely a spicy delicious mouth watering Biriyani that more than satisfies a viewer's appetite......

Guess the movie:
Story begins with hero being born and proudly exhibited by the father. Father is leader of a group and wants son to take over mantle. But Father's brother is the villain and plots against the family. When hero was small, he gets into trouble and the father dies to save him. Villain tells hero to run away as the people would kill him if they knew he was the cause of the death of their leader. Of course villain has ulterior motives and soon becomes the new leader.
In the meantime, hero finds himself new company - and as usual - grows up within a song. Things go along normally until he meets a girl from his previous life (yes child romance). He is then told that the people are now suffering and needs hero very badly. Hero returns to a warm welcome.... but the uncle tells the truth about the hero's fathers death.
Or is it the truth? The people then learn that the original leader actually survived but was killed by the villain. And so, the duel begins.
And the film ends with the hero becoming the rightful leader..... alongside his romance of course.

With regards to Apoorva Brothers, I have had occasion to recall this in these parts before - I swear by mMKR as an entertainer more than AS. This is because of my Kamal history wherein AS was the transition point from anti-Kamal. So, it"s impact was just to question my anti-Kamal position. MMKR was the one which tipped me over. And in retrospect, holds up more after 20 years.

MMKR might have provided you the kick in those days coz of the mouth watering prospect of seeing 4 kamal hassans on screen. MMKR inikum popularity maintain panrathukku kaaranam Kameshwaran and Raju characters probably...... of course nagesh, Kushboo and Bheemboy are other reasons (in that order)

WE have to stop calling this the touchstone of modern masala filmmaking. There aren't any in modern masala that seems to age well. Age, as in revisits, not necessarily the years.
Vikram seems the best fit of all actors today. But he must have understood that they aren't going to age well. Moreover, some apeshit sickness brought a dip in his career. Around Kandasaamy, bheema, etc, he seemed to have lost it.

Bachchan Propoganda Machinery is the right term. Bala, it is Saamy. Apparently, it harks back to the tradition of Angry young man subverted blah blah, a derivative of Bachchan(alia). Although not as good as Apisek, Vikram is a close approximate heir of that Bachchanness I believe. In a way Kamal, Rajini et al are incapable of being. Note the choice of terms. It is not that they have the choice of not being Bachchan heir. Apparently they tried and failed while Apisek and Vikram got it right

Shankar should be the proud man to learn that any research carried on a robo or an ape result will be the same. Under testing period and home care they are conveniently safe and secured you let them grow and inherit some intelligence you need to face grave consequences. Unlike our turbo, who CAT Scans the whole book by its cover this genetically transformed enthiran-thatha Caesar shows several signs of sparkling intelligence that you won’t have any doubts of questioning its integrity. However the most beguiling aspect of this movie is when it went 'OUT' attacking the neighbor and landed up in Primate Sanctuary

Marumagal (1986)
Plum, two of your favourites. You'll like this film. HR-styled pointers.
- Simple storyline, but well told (Hindi remake? Balaji's production)
- NT was hillarious in many places, especially his banter with Jai Shankar.
- Songs were quite popular that time. Chandrabose, I think.
- The awesomeness of the big two that time gave us no time to appreciate smaller actors like Suresh. He did well here.
- NT spent almost all of his screen time on bed. Reminds me of the Hollywood film, Misery, where James Caan spent most of the time on bed. The role was turn down by many top actors for that reason alone - on the bed. NT made us smile, laugh and cry by just being on the bed. That's Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan to you.

Grouch, you think I wouldn't have seen it yet?. Several times in DD. Despite Bose aNNan.(The Ganapathy song is decent though - Bose aNNan did decently in devotionals. Poiyindri meyyodu is an ayyapan anthem still among the top favs for ayyappan devotees in TN - next only to harivarachanam). Mynaa oru mynaa also this movie only no?
-
From: groucho070 on 5th December 2011 07:29 AM [Full View]
As you said, Ganapathy nice song. Always had respect for Bose aNNan (buggers forced him to copy Qurbani songs, he really regretted it). Otherwise,matta padalgal forgettable, so can't remember mate. Forgot to mention this, Revathi was damned good. Very, very likeable character.

Thamizh names for places is not something new-fangled. These are names used by Tamil elders centuries back.
Back to the point of naming kids....I guess it is the same in all communities. A modern Marwati will be hesitant to name his song Kanhaiyalal. He'll go for Abhishek, Anuj etc. The only exception I can think of are Bengalis.
One Bong friend asked me: 'why is it you Tamils always name kids after Gods'. His name was Shubrojyoti (the rays of the morning sun - what a name!). And it is not as if it is an outlandish name. OTOH iLankathir is an uncool name. Bong names have not changed a lot over a few generations, there are still many distinct and unique Bong names in circulation. Perhaps the more 'far out there' names have dropped out (seen any Bibuthibushans lately?) and many 'mainstream' (i.e. North Indian names are being taken).
Anyway, this urge to find a name that is hitherto unheard of, must go.

On bengali names, oh yes, they seem to have a reservoir of sanskritised cool-sounding names already so perhaps they are ahead of the curve? I know of a celebrtiy father who racked his brains to step away from this historical set of names, and named his twin daughters Tapur and Tupur. What does that mean? You might have heard "brishti pOrEr tapur tupur" in a hindi song of the 80s. That means - "Rain is pouring pitter patter. So, that's what he has named his daughters - pitter and patter. And that sounds cool, too, aint it? ILankathir - imo - genuinely doesn't have that zing. I suggested kopperundhevi to Bala in his blog years ago. Looks like he didn't take the suggestion

Selvaraj, Pushparaj(My old PT Master's name), Arogyaraj, Paulraj are all more prevalent among Christians than Hindus.
I have a friend who named his daughter Yoshini. Thats because his astrologer advised him to go for a name starting with 'Yo' and this is the only name he could come up with. When his second child was born, his astrologer, this time asked him to start the name with 'Ke'. So he named her Keshini. Later he told his friends, the name is in remembrance of the bus stop close to his house, called Keshavardhini (Valasaravakkam).
Regarding mixed names, I had this colleague in Singapore, who was from Mauritius - Mayvin Seeneevassen. And one of Mauritius's prominent Indian figures, is Renganaden Seeneevassen.

Rowthiram - haven't seen the entire movie but just saw few songs & clippings. This scene which I'm referring to has Jeeva waiting to meet his girlfriend's brother. This particular scene takes a dig at IT employees which has become a norm in TFI, where jobless and unemployable misfits are demi-gods. What hurts me is it depicts one community in very bad light & also makes fun of the name 'Ramanujam'. Some one has to teach the director that two of India's best mathematicians had this name. Shame on Tamil Cinema. To highlight their good for nothing heroes & rowdyism, they go to the extent of degrading anyone or any community.

Ajay, yeah Gounder goes overboard and I sometimes have felt bad for dark skinned people & sotta thalayans. But as Plum said, since he himself belongs to both these categories, somehow the pun is taken lightly. And in that scene which you are referring to, the girl is shown not only as dark, but also ugly, unkempt and buck-toothed. The Angavai-Sangavai scene in Sivaji, however does not fall under this type. Dark skinned people will easily be offended by that scene.
This one in Rowthiram is atrocious! When the scene ends, Jeeva becomes so upset because a person of 'that' community/character/job profile becomes his B-I-L & says something like "Ramanujam ellaam oru peraa da? Indha pera eppidi na veliyila solven?"

Although, hattori, that might merely be payback for a similar comment in the opposite direction - and pretty socially popular the opposite direction comment would have been even 100 years ago. Ultimately, it boils down to execution - look how A Wednesday made a near-fascist solution to terrorism seem like an acceptable one.

Prasanna is clueless/clever/cunning well the character demands all these and I think he somehow fitted perfectly. Tho the 2cr groan face was visible even while romancing. why?
Sibiraj pointlessly trekking thagidu thagidu. Bad!
Logu - The fat guy his silence speaks.
Ramya Rai - nalla valanji nelinji poondhu poreengha.. Zeta Rai!
SPB:- Someone else a new face should have done this role. We know you are the producer Sir!
Songs by James Vasanthan. Naan pogiren mele mele is the only good song widely popular. Lot of 'owner of the lonely heart' guitar riffs another song has very nice same Irish pre/inter lude but the indianized version makes no sense. kuthattam & kolai/kollai attam rightly mixed.
Thaman BGM was very apt in specific the theme. For thrillers, he seams to be the best choice now.
Shakti Rajan Heard that the director have completed this movie with in the budget half as Shankar's remuneration. That's Remarkable I say! Give him one more chance ya a ++ would really make him work hard and trim the unwanted IInd half.

Scale - Naanayam is copied from a James Hadley Chase novel, 'My laugh comes last' - already remade in Hollywood. It starts with ...
"The safest bank in the world ' they called it - at least, the Press did, when they gave it world-wide publicity on its opening. And Farrell Brannigan thought it was a pretty good name too : he'd built it and safeguarded it with the help of a brilliant electronics expert. Foolproof. But the man who planned on breaking into the bank was no fool - he was a ghost from Brannigan's past, with a king-size grudge... a long time enemy with a pathological craving for revenge. Blackmail and murder were just games to him - and before long, a whole lot of other dirty things were crawling out of the past...

Rudra - don't know about the bhagyaraj portions but otherwise picked from La Femme Nikita, a french movie which made waves in a chennai film festival the previous year. A kungumam reporter was apparently deputed to cover it - and this was hhis take on the film festival: he highlighted the gujaal scenes in the movies he saw and commented thus: "namadhu amala, radha, gauthami ellaam idhai pArththu kaRRu koLLa vENdum".

Finally watched Eesan on Vijay TV. I liked it - not overwhelmingly, but as a "I know what u did " kinda movie,
It scored well. When married to a social commentary of decadent upper class in a metro - it doesnt scale up that well.
What worked was the idea of a "Kula dheivam kumbidum" rural family patriarch's reaction to the decadence. And that wiry
kid !! though he looked like the young kamal character from sigappu rojakkal flashback segment - this kid has unbelievable fire in his belly.
What a physical and spitfire performance from the belly?
Sasikumar and S.R.Kadhir score with their innovative camera movements - the camera placed on the stretcher carrying a dead body,
Big fish tank in one scene and a small fish bowl in the next scene - seamless shot transitions with a lot of purpose - thoroughly interesting...
Samudhirakani was the movie's strength as well as weakness. Very inconsistent - but thankfully comes to his own in the final segments and the last scene was as heartwarming
as it was corny. JV's music was also inconsistent like the script, gripping us in one moment only to let go immediately.
However, it was still a movie that was not rank bad or belies sasikumar's talents. There was enough in the movie to keep me hoping for the next directorial
venture of Sasikumar.

Have to say this movie's brilliance has been overshadowed by YS on few technical grounds of investigation & evidences come across. For me Azhagappan's/Assistant Vs the kid seams to have more effect* and a realistic threat than MV & YGM's to the normal social life.
*in terms of performance/visualization.

Easan - from the viewpoint of cinematic influences is heavily impacted by Kamal's Mahanadhi and the Korean movies on the "revenge" theme. The best thing is how these are nicely married to our milieu. There are some cliches surrounding how the song in the flashback is so "pachchai kiligal", but replacing the song with a stretched episode of dialogue and drama would have induced tedium in an already pushing the magical 2 hr 45 min mar movie. so that is ok. The decision by the dad after the incident - preceded by an emotional outburst and then followed by surrender to the helplessness is brought out naturally - not every dad is a krishnaswamy or indian thaatha - so delicately close to embracing a cinematic cliche - yet veering away from it to make new set of circumstances - that was done rather neatly. However what made me to pause and think was... The violation of a young girl's honor and her responses were gived a rather modern and progressive treatment by K.Balachander - way back in 80s(Vaaname Ellai - Ramya krishnan track) and by Jeyakanthan in 70s (SNSM). So why does Sasikumar not take a progressive stance instead of succumbing to depicting the news paper reality? - That is just a question in my mind. Back to the movie - the interesting concept to chew on is the fact that there exists a huge chunk of "Solomon pappaiah pattimandram" watching pongal celebrators in chennai who live grudgingly with discomfort to see their kids trying to mingle with the ECR party crowd. Last I was in chennai was way back in 2007 - so this culture clash - born out of a sudden deflowering of chennai the early morning filter coffee metro into a reveller's paradise - Is it true? If so, then this movie is alarming indeed. Originally Posted by Scale

I don't see much of influential connection to Mahanadhi or Indian thaatha this movie stands on its own only the revenge part (the IInd half) irks me now passed to the Jr's. With so many plots nicely interconnected on the metro junction, I liked Azhagappan/Assistant's political & personal agenda to save his Son/friends at any cost. There is also an interesting Son's new relationship with the businessman's daughter how their fathers negotiate the engagement deal for their own benefits.
OTOH, I urge you to watch YS(if you haven't) far more superior on technical aspects screenplay wise again a revenge subject the victim's are doctor's family where you can see lot of korean crime film influences.

BTW - this movie was after DM - After Guna Kamal acted in Singaravelan. This was 1993 Tamil New years day release.
I was bowled over the rock song Edakku madakkaana and the way it was picturised - Went with a lot of expectations - came back content with Raaja's rocking BGM bits - super awesome they were and Jayanen Vincent's kannukku idhamaana oLippadhivu. Offcourse - that nalina kanthi gem "Endhan nenjil" is enough for the price of admission.
My mind still plays the tabla - bass driven BGM bit that comes when Kamal goes to the casurina forest in hesargadda. That was one awesome BGM that drove the spook into any nerve. The director G.B.Vijay - a friend of Prabhu had done an interesting but skewed "Nalaya seidhi" with Prabhu had the best team in the industry - Thotta tharani, Vikram Dharma and the ones mentioned before - yet managed to just about scrape through. If not for Kamal - this movie would have worked for any lesser star (except for Raamarajan offcourse.). Post Devar Magan - TN ppl wanted Kamal only to make aascaar movies... how naive of them.

I saw it in Koyambedu Rohini Complex. AFAIK, It was one of the early movies to release there & there were just 3 theaters at that time- Rohini, Ragini and Rupini. The hall was filled with marana mass, as it was the first week of release. Though, in Kalaignan, there was no scope for Kamal to perform, we were'nt disappointed. As a kid, I used to get thrilled watching Kamal perform those different stunts - 'tea kadai bench' fight in TTT, 'Sakkadai fight' in SKV and even the open gymnasium fight sequence in 'Andha Oru Nimidam' Originally Posted by kid-glove
. Thats why that knife-swinging scene is still fresh in my memory. Kamal must have worked really hard for this scene. The climax fight was good but way too long. Oru mozhumozhu villain - btw, is he a Kannada actor? As the story was set in Bangalore, there were many Kannada actors/dialogues. The one who played the role of the bad tempered cop is also a Kannadiga, I guess.
Illaiyaraja's opening credits BGM - the water drop effect was If Sivaji Productions had given this movie to a better director instead of G.B.Vijay, we would have had a neat suspense thriller like Sigappu Rojakkal or Nooravadhu Naal. Too many loose ends. Just to confuse the audience, Kamal was portrayed as someone with a dark past which was never really shown.
There was this Hindi move of Kamal called Sanam Teri Kasam released in mid 80's. After Kalaignan's release, this was dubbed to Tamil as 'Paadagan' & the stills they used to promote it were all from Kalaignan. It ran in Udayam complex for a couple of weeks.

Villain is the son of a Kannada movie producer - family friend of Prabhu - probably a classmate in that ooty convent.. Acted in one other thamizh film when younger with lot of hair in the head. Now Early parts of the movie gave that kinda suggestion. The heroine trying to get at Kamal was so "Udhayageetham" - rest of the twists were done well in the first half - was terribly disappointment to see Nasser in a sidela ukkandhu kai thattra role. Still saw the movie 4 times just for the background meesik.

Grouch - sivakumar...**i don't think it needed a NT, and so close to thevar magan, it might have scuttled the idea of another father-son movie and TM might not have happened - the horror of the thought! Can't think of anyone other than Gemini at that point...but I thought the telugu version might have benefitted from replacing Gemini with Nageswara Rao or K Viswanath but KV wasn't acting those days so they might not have thought of it...regarding the sappaadu scene, Chiru bhai acquitted himself very well. The scene worked superbly in Telugu. Also, Sumitra was better than Manorama. The telugu version also fleshed out the RameshArvind story and had Devilalitha, whom someone or the oter was nostalgically drooling about the other day in some 80s-Doordarshan-nostalgia discussion.(In Dharini's role). Yeah, that was sort of annoying with Ramesh turning in an annoying performance - which is probably why his role was cut down in Tamil.

Wasn't NT the first choice for AS? Albeit, the characterization was different I believe. Once Gemini came onboard, character's character was changed. So, one must be careful about rubbishing claims on behalf of NT and talking about Ts and Coppers. The script might have got a lift if NT was brought onboard - think how "ungala thaane nambanum" happened. Not just because of the theme of thevar magan - without NT, would kamal have even been inspired to write that piece of conversation? Unlikely. So, instead of seeing it as it is, imagine the possibilities. I guess that's what Grouch did. Although I think gemini was adequate, instinctive rubbishing of grouch's claims lack thought, insight and imagination. It is a bit like saying IR/ArR would have lifted DeivathirunagaL to another league - even though GVP might have "fitted like a T"(what with ALV of the same type - cheap Sudesh kamat shot alert - one might argue AlV and GVP already "lifte" from somewhere else

Gemini is one of the black and white actors who never looked embarrassing on screen. Awesome in romance and comedy genre. Never indulged in Galatta kalyanam kinds of comedies. Then nilavu, kalyana parisu and karpagam have aged quite well.

Shivaji in UMT yaa? On what basis can we imagine?
Thevar magan is the basis for comparison or whether it is a number of junk movies in 80's that Shivaji has acted in quite similar roles - eg: Jallikattu with sathyaraj.

From: Plum on 17th December 2011 10:21 AM [Full View]
On the basis of thevar magan. If NT in UMT, Kamal's interest in the project would have multiplied and he'd have wasted some choice stuff that eventually came in TM there. (I.e.) Do not imagine that the scrrenpaly will be the same and NT will simply replace Gemini mouthing the lines that Gemini did. Script vERa mAdhiri pOyirukkum. I am glad it didn't happen because UMT isn't big enough or ambitious enough to have wasted some of the choice moments of TM. Gemini was enough and naturally, he quite acquitted himself well. ( Not so much in telugu - someone else was warranted in telugu)
-
From: Plum on 17th December 2011 10:26 AM [Full View]
And while Gemini proudly subsuming his bilahari marthandam identity and revelling in his fame as Suryanarayana's dad in the climax worked well, same cannot work with NT as Kamal simply had not(has not) outshone NT yet whereas he had left Gemini long behind so the real life resonance of that was apt. It wouldn't have been so with NT.

indha scriptukku Gemini did justice. I also think that the brahmin attitude came s easily to Gemini. I dont think script would have changed by shivaji's inclusion as its KB's movie and considering the performances that KB has got from his actors - I dont think we would have got anything anywhere near to Thevar magan.

En thirumba thirumba thappA purinjukkaREL. Ok, let me recap again. Step 1: Grouch idly speculates. The tone of his post is clear that he is not doing any NT thudhipaadal just a idle indulgent speculation 2. Step 2: reaction to this: "fits to a T. Fanboys of NT try to undermine others" type reaction. This is exactly where the uNarchivasapadal in this thread started. Step 3: Same person who uNarchivasapattufied turns the plate by claiming Nt fans(read Groucho) uNarchivasapattufied and NT fans are next only to A-V. This is actually true in this forum - I agree on that but my point is, in this thread it was Roshan who umarchivasapattufied first not NT fan groucho so her theory stands on weak ground w.r.t this issue. And on top of it, the unarchivasapadal actually started with her post. Ivlo dhaan, same league, differewnt leaguelaam I don't want to argue on. I myself recently observed the over thudhipaadal in NT thread so I am not going to get holier-than-thou trying to defend NT fans as a whole. In other words, you are thinking I am defending something I have no wish to defend.

Every person, the way he handles emotions etc are different. We cannot label this fits the bill or other over does. Your dad wont be like my dad. NT if in that role, would have made himself a diff shoe which he can fit in clearly and poisely. Question however lies whether KB would give that freedom to the artist. KB would want him to design and artists role ends in shaping themselves to the design. If NT had done marathandam piLLai would be cherished in different style. Now that gemini is on, we live up to him, had it been sivakumar our eyes would adjust to the light accordingly. I can even think of rajkiran and umpteen others all with their own style and persona. There are nothing called a perfect way to portray any art. It keeps changing and adapting.

It started with one NT fan (NOV) asking what if NT has done it. So, another NT fan (adiyen) remarked that fellow NT fan (Plum) might like it. Then I said, dayummm, what if GG has turned it down and taken by Sivakumar? The horror, the horror, the horror. This discussion was meant for fantastical indulgence, rib-nudging meaningless lunch table conversation for NT fans. Atha vututtu....Sari, ottukirEn, GG was awesome. K B himself have said he can't direct NT, he doesn't know how to direct NT. His one film with NT was below expectation (though I loved it), so no way in hell he would have had NT in his films. Ever.

Velayutham.
Finally saw it today with family. (Co-incidentally in his mall )
Thoroughly entertaining stuff. Parotta Soori was funnier than Santhanam. Hansika, Genelia, estra just for songs.
Went with zero expectations, but it fared well. Mainly because movie is still fresh without majority of it playing on TV!
Vijay was impressive. Sendimendd, Climoks, usual comedy.. everything.
The Assasin's Creed costumes were quite funny but can't complain. Rather using the game's plot.. Raja has only lifted costumes.
How many times have we had a hero/heroine break down at the death of a sister? Pala sagOdhara/sagOdharigaL alpAyusula seththu pOyirukkaanga. And the hero/heroine proceed clinically with the task at hand. Quite like how they showed it differently here.
And also, I quite patronizingly approve of how the Vijaykanth Masala is getting enjoyable.
- thamizh cinema progressive
Vijay Antony has tried to do something different with the BGM. Looked liked GVP's muyarchi in AO. Some Rock and Electronic sounds.
Chillax was good and the last song was also good. Rest were dabbA.
Beats Vettaikaaran. And if 7A is anything to go by, tuppAkki isn't going to top this one.

Sure. And, I like the treatment to the whole saga. I don't know, without Periyar episode, can't say how much of this Dravidian movement could have possibly portrayed in its truest sense. With a very frail silhouette of Annadurai, Nedunchezian, et al. I think he did quite a commendable job at that. That said, I particularly enjoy the subtlety and the very interesting flow of events.

my personal experience - i came back from the movie with headache - prakashraj torture thaangave mudiyala -
padam oru involvement illaama pora oru peeling.. pathaadhukku non actors spoiling the show big time - gauthami and rai amma - unsahikkable.
only redeeming factor was tabu and prakashraj track - though reminiscent of Agni *and some interesting scenes involving the "Anandhan katchilendhu neekkam".
Romance track of Mohanlal-Rai amma was pure torture (coming from mani it was a shocker) - donno what he was trying to do with rai amma in a serious movie.
And aravind saamy munching out udal mannukku was another torture (after that absolutely funny machamillai machamillai from dalpati).

That's not so difficult a thing to nail, grouch. Happens all the time - take for example Dhanush. For those who judge a book by its covers, and a star by his looks - like Plum's in-laws - he was a strict "WTF, how is he a star?" during thiruda-thirudi, kaadhal konden, even pudhupettai days. But things turned around as they got used to the face. Ivlo kashtapattu edhukku sollanum - Dhanush, that modertn philosophist-poet of kolaiveRi fame, put it aptly: "paarka paarka pidikkum". This is not just true of looks, but also acting ability, skills etc. And it is not necessarily "waking upto the hidden beauty". It is more of "getting used to non-existent beauty"

I always thought that it was the poverty that the fans were getting accustomed to..."Namakku kedachathu imbuttuthen, samAlipOm". With the passing of rich days of NT, and later with the big duo entering their twilight years, we are left with vattal and tottal, and had to be satisfied with it. You can't get Rajini all the time, so you are left to be satisfied with poor man's, nay, sanitation engineer's Rajini. You can't get Kamal all the time in great scripts, so you had to settle for Dhanush, or Jiiva.
Or Surya.
But yuvar explanation is good, Plum.

Iruvar is one of the landmark films made in the TFI both in TamilNadu's political history’s POV and film making style. I have watched couple of times and lot of scenes still stands afresh. Every scene is crafted carefully and brilliantly which will certainly feature in my top 10 Tamil films.
Prakash Raj is a torture - I don’t want to argue… All their second & third love are part of the parcel and If I may say that is very close to reality.. Rai amma (not the Ist one) kitta appave sonnen neengha tamilnattulaye settle aayidunga... Alaipayuthey-la konjam kariya poosittu nadichirundha career graph-e maarirukkum j/k.
That Aravind Swamy part was for two times one (udal mannukku) during the discussion of 'veerapradhaban' where Prakash raj himself utters first then AS voice takes over for Lal during the shooting. I think it suited there. The other one PR-Tabu (unnodu..) - is a gross mistake to have AS voice there.
What I liked more in the last viewing is the post Tamizh Chelvan rule
Both Mohan Lal & Prakash Raj progresses as a fine actors and throws in a very matured performance during the IInd half.
1) Tamil Chelvan didn't show much anxiety to his failure rather tells Tabu (a teacher) proudly now I am a ethirkatchi thalaivar and Anandhan has to answer all my questions.
2) Tamil Chelvan wasn’t that active in politics as before more he was shown spending time with his family/grand daughter teaching tamizh literature (azhudhu purandaalum maandor varuvaaro…)
3) In the beach scene….(I will tell this later)
4) On the other hand, see how Anandhan the current CM cleverly handles the administration. Rajesh (who came from TC party) now a minister in Lal’s rule addresses him the corruption charges during a “silai mazhai anivikkum” function. That was a very well shot as their conversation keeps going on without halting a second. Rajesh says that he was offered bribe for a signature and was not happy how the current party’s corruption charges has grown ten-fold from the previous rule.. Anandan returns back sharply ‘athukkaakathaane ungala maathiri nermayana amaichara vachirukkom’ and he also asks is that ten fold means including me and you?
5) Satta Sabai (continuation of the beach scene) Prakash Raj gets hold of the Gupta Commission report and started questioning the CM. intha reporta amaichar padikkiraara illai CM padikkiraara illai naane padikkattuma Mohanlal condemns this act of illegally acquiring the report which is under jurisdiction and calls this act ‘anagareegam’. Ithai anagareegam endral naan thirumba thirumba seiven thirumba thirumba seiven causes a sabai kalaippu.
6) The Marriage function (Rajesh’s Daughter) where both the present CM’s & Ex CM share a seat… Brilliant scene! To have both their spectacled faces from the back while the press members clicking from the front. Anandhan leaves the hall saying election varuthu we shouldn’t be seen laughing out
together.
Mani Sir only you possible!

Solid writing supported with exceptional dialogues can't believe that were by Suhasini
Nasar says aagayathula irukkura natchathiram tholla vandhu irangina aanandham thaan (When Anandhan wants to join the party)
Prakash Raj says namma aatchi 3 mani nera cinemava paarthu payapuduthu (when someone points out that Anandan is attracting people by cinema)
Prakash Raj has so many so many
Anandhan's irangal speech was mostly muted where the revolution begins

mani got spoilt after Roja - he thought he can touch a sensationalist subject and simply get away.
He did that bull with Bombay and compormised with the thackerays to keep the hindu - muslim riot scenes 50-50 and that is not much of a nuni pul.
KB and Bharathiraaja have used far more direct and damaging allegories in their movies to take on those in power and their allakkais.
If you know you cannot make a dish, why spoil it and serve ? with the intention of exploiting the sensationalizatiion alone for money right?
Thats what he attempted to do here - but karai vetttis neutered the approach and got him to mute almost 50% of dialogues that were supposed to be
written by Vairamuthu (not suhasini - only the mundane stuff like pal theichaacha is by maam). and now we are seeing ppl applauding muted dialogues - very funny..

I liked Iruvar a lot. Though Mani didn't bring the real Dravidian movement to the core, still Mani's version can be considered as a layer, dimension of it. A tip of an iceberg is still a part of it. As usual he romanticized (Thats what all the class directors tend to do ) the story and came up with nice-ever lasting visuals.

What's funny there Jai? Lal acted in his own voice and he clearly admits his limitations as a politician and a public speaker. That particular scene was a irangal speech (after Nasar Death) where Anandhan (was refused manthiri padhavi before) emotionally bursts out his anger against the government and all varavu-selavu kanakkus to be brought open to the public as that's the ultimate leader's wish... It was not completely muted partly Mani cleverly uses to his advantage of showing it as a revolving shot with the bgm (the facial reactions of PR & other kazhaga uruppinars & the massive crowd in front of them)

when u have a medium like cinema - where u put the dots and immediately viewer connects in his mind, mani had all the time and material to put in a kolam - he chose to
paint an amorphous rangoli instead. The movie was all nice when it dealt with the cinema aspect of Anandhan - but the politics aspect which causes the strain in the relationship
fizzles out like a cone icecream on a hot sunny day..

I clearly see where I and Jai disagree.. Mani Sir is such an amazing, ambitious director always tried out different things. IMO, except bombay and Dil Se he has been always a visionary, dedicated to his art and more importantly responsible in addressing those larger issues of human relationships, social & political affairs which could have easily ended up in a mess.

Scale, thanks for your POV
Uyire/Dil Se is the most unique Indian love story I've ever seen.
I remember I was 9 and was watching it in a full house, *Spoiler Alert* the abrupt ending made me regret why I bothered to see such film but over the years I was listening to the BGMs randomly and decided to watch the film for Rahman Ji's sake. I realized the concept of the love story track and felt Mani Sir has truly depicted an eternal love story.
Some aspects that make this enticing
Concept - A journalist who doesn't realize he's falling in love with a terrorist.
Breathtaking visuals in and around the Himalaya region and Kerala.
BGM especially the opening credits. The songs tell a story of their own.
The Sufi track.

Aanmai Thavarel - nice movie... could have told the story in a more suspenseful manner - for instance skipping the beginning portions and instead starting with the kidnapping, thus making it mysterious.
I know many say that the movie is inspired by Taken - but except for the "human traficking" theme, what else is copied? I mean hero going for his girl is not a new concept....
anyway, a good watch.

Taken plays alot of Neeson's background as retired CIA, his networking, his technical knowledge, etc. This movie tried to consciously move away from that, with helpless hero. I liked that part, then suddenly the director would have said, screw it, let's make action movie, the boy becomes kickass hero, etc, and I lost my interest.

A movie called "Mahaan Kanakku" was released today and must have been washed away by Thane by now. Initially I wondered why such absurd title. But then it struck me that they must have named it "Gandhi Kanakku" earlier and changed Gandhi to Mahaan, due to censor issues. Long ago a Rajinikanth movie "Naan Gandhi Alla" was renamed by its producers as Naan Mahaan Alla after censor objected.

Hattori, you are right. It was "Gandhi Kanakku" earlier. To their credit, the promos act as if it is blasphemy to say "Gandhi Kanakku" - that's a good way of reacting to the censor-forced change. Regarding Thousand Elephants, I too caught on Artist TV. Found Surya quite expressive and "natural" as the young boy. Father role was a mixed bag. But idhu dhaan "artificial", "plastic", "muyarchi nadippu" apdina, gimme more of this (in comparison to u-no-what) I say....p.s: with due apologies to Git and Grouch for deserting their corner on this matter

Watched Mayakkam enna over the weekend..
Liked it.. Good one from Selva - Dhanush combo..
Dhanush is improving, he is able to bring out some different reactions in this movie. Selva has created some good scenes based on Dhanush's skills, and it has come out very well ..
This new comer heroine Richa is very nice.. I liked the performances of Richa more than dhanush's. Since I don't expect any good acting from the current lot of heroines, it was a nice surprise.. She is able to show some good expressions.. Warm welcome to Richa !!
Camera work is nice, songs are also good. One more Good Movie in the year 2011..

Adukalam
wanted to see it again after feeling the first time experience didnt register in the mind.The only problem i had with the movie(1st time) after an outstanding first half was the activities of pettaikaran which i felt was a bit too much for his stature.But the things which makes him do those things stood out.He proved me wrong,How can he?.Is he better than me?,What does that do to my reputation especially when my only counterpart(rathnasamay) is out?Should i make a living out of his money?etc..all these questions gets deep into him...People giving that extra amount of respect and importance to karuppu also doesnt help.A man can do anything when he is in this mindset.
Karuppu says "rathnasamya savaal sandaiya vitte oda vittenla" to Durai..this sums up his state of mind on this.he has a bit of "Thimiru" as i can call it.this is evident when he kind of ignores pettaikaran's words in the torunament.
may be due to tHIRUVANMAYUR THIYAGARAJA and my gang were not in for this kind of movie.siruthai poyirkanum....but nevertheless amazing writing,Pettaikaran's character is the crux of the movie.and the kaLam as they call it is completely different.It didnt turn out to be a numb sports film after the first half.... to vetrimaran
and Dhanush's performance..ippo konjam cleara theriyudhu younger cropla yaru bestunu..already he has given so many good performances...

Vetrimaran's next film is titled as vada chennai interestingly (or) ironically Simbhu is playing the lead. Dhanush as Karuppu was a revelation to me (kokki kumar, karthik-wildlife photographer-genius are all reel-time jokes IMO) hope this new movie goes well and gets the same recognitions. Then we may discuss about Simbhu. Until then, getting into a cage fight is simply waste of time.

Vithagan - with a (shot)gun
The only good thing about the movie were the dialogues. I regret watching this movie. Story is very simple: a kid who witness a family member being murdered wants revenge many years after. One thing is R Parthiban being himself witty and says irky things, but does he have to give Poorna samy type of dialogues too. Songs were not that good, and BGM didnt suit the situations, better luck next time Joshua Sridhar.
R. Parthiban would be a catch as dialogue writer in movies, instead of director IMO.

This for Git:The generation before ours had Sivaji Ganesan. The thespian that he was, Sivaji could dance standing still while he emoted out all the dance movements just on his face. And then there was MGR. Dancing, in his uncomplicated times, was defined as running and sprinting. MGR, in that song in Anbe Vaa (Puthiya Vanam…), was not so much dancing as much as competing with Usain Bolt. If MGR had not bothered to shake his head and wave his arms alongside, it is most likely that he was the first person to have been part of choreographed cross-country run. Across meadows and valleys, across alleyways and train tracks, and even across cities and States, MGR zipped along on his feet with boundless energy. It is quite conceivable that movie-making was shifted out of studios in those days just to keep pace with MGR’s hot-footing methods. Also, in MGR’s times, the most famous dance routine was the: Twist, which, as any dance master will tell you, is that classical jazzy jiving routine that organically ensues when you have live eels crawling in your pant pocket.

K. Balachander's story and dialogues!
Sivaji again takes on a grey character who ditches his girlfriend to marry a girl with cancer to make sure her last few days are comfortable. Devika and Rajasri play his mates.
First few minutes fool you into thinking its a comedy. But the real story starts soon enough. Not a dull moment, with Sivaji in his usual best.

Git, true. What he seemingly aims as a dig at NT is actually the defence employed by NT fans against allegations that he can't dance - the MGR bit isn't very funny either but serves the purpose to adequately describe MGR's skills. The thanga magan bit was the best part of the blog - and I posted it here because we had that discussion on that TM song few weeks back when app-e hosted it in his IR-SPB series. He certainly put it more funnier than I had put it then...

This is getting a fashion now to compare everything of Simbu with Dhanush. And also getting stale. Naan paartha varaikkum both are totally different in the way they perform. And I dont know if Dhanush has done any role which is similar to Simbu's role in vaanam. IMO Dhanush ennatha, eppadi paNNaalum oru psycho/mental effect irukkum. Have not seen Aadu KaLam though. Even in YNM - he looked quite weird and slightly psycho. And as I said earlier even off screen he shows that psycho act a bit. Originally Posted by groucho070

Comparison illa. It's a role someone else already made a stamp on. Like the kind of roles some kids were doing when Rajini already had done them. Simbhu was basically doing a Suriya, follow the text and no own input. Even the TR mimic he did was a lazy mimic of a mimicry artist mimicking TR. Lame. Originally Posted by Roshan

Cable Raja was the sort of one role which Simbu can shine on I thought - it being a microcosm of his bluffy blustering delusional hack personality. He is a averagely talented joe, who thinks too highly of his worth, and is looking for shortcuts to superstardom(acquired wealth in the movie). He over-estimates his capabilities, his daily life is one of sailing through bluff, bluster and sort of self-selling in place of actual acquisition of talent and hardwork. And prone to exaggerating his minor difficulties with a faux philosophical "what lifeda idhu". It perfectly suited simbar in a way the self-deprecating, God-Bless Dhanush could never have managed. It isn't the typical Dhanush role, no? Not that I am a Simbar fan(the horror of the thought!) But seemed unfair to dismiss it as a Dhanush role appropriated by Simbu when infact, the director might well have written it on the basis of Simbu's personality, except that the director had already written the role before he met Simbu.

A perfect movie for the novice to be introduced to the fine acting of Sivaji Ganesan.
Color movie, light story without much drama, no sob-sob, NT comes in several get-ups , many amusing moments (the nightclub scene where he coaches Jayalalitha on the etiquette for fine dining and to top it all, lovely songs and a very beautiful VA Nirmala. NT looks dashing in several scenes and you have style, dancing, singing and merry-making.
The icing on the cake is the super combo of a song by Kannadhasan with music by MSV, sung by TMS and acted by Sivaji Ganesan. piravi payan adainthaachu...

You probably know (from the IR/SPB izhai) that I'm not a big fan of chEchchi dancing...same with Rajini, so two more songs outtu. As far as 'oru koottukkiLiyAka', I pity NT - the director must have been in some extremely sarcastic mode to show him as 'aNNan' to boys that looked like his grand children.

ஏது பந்தபாசம்? எல்லாம் வெளி வேஷம்!
காசு பணம் வந்தா நேசம் சில மாசம்!
சிந்தினேன்.. ரத்தம் சிந்தினேன், அது எல்லாம் வீண் தானோ?
வேப்பிலை கருவேப்பிலை அது யாரோ நான் தானோ?
என் வீட்டு கன்னுக்குட்டி, என்னோட மல்லுக்கட்டி, என் மார்பில் முட்டுதடி கண்மணி என் கண்மணி!
தீப்பட்ட காயத்துல தேள் வந்து கொட்டுதடி கண்மணி, கண்மணி!
saraNam 2:
நேத்து இவன் ஏணி இன்று இவன் ஞானி!
ஆளைக் கரை சேர்த்து ஆடும் இந்தத் தோணி!
சொந்தமே ஒரு வானவில் அந்த வண்ணம் கொஞ்ச நேரம்!
பந்தமே முள்ளானதால் இந்த நெஞ்சில் ஒரு பாரம்!
பணங்காசக் கண்டுபுட்டா புலிகூடப் புல்லைத் தின்னும் கலி காலாமாச்சுதடி கண்மணி என் கண்மணி!

Looked for some info on this and found out it was directed by Gemini Ganesan
Basically, a KB-like film, about a female protagonist, with some KB regulars (GG himself, Kamal and Sowcar), but was terrible. Even if it didn't have Sivakumar.
Terribly depressing movie about depressing characters. Sujatha did what she can but he character is thoroughly annoying. Kamal is Tennis champion here (add your own emoticon).

Vettaikaran-I still can't believe I sat through this yesterday.Actually wanted to watch KO but assumed that is in the evening and watched this instead.A fairly engaging first hour quickly deteriorated like nobody's business.
Bits and pieces of Enthiran-I had seen the Hindi version earlier and found the whole film to be very flat.The spark generally associated with Shankar was missing(I found this in Sivaji too-that was a disaster)and it looked like a below par inspired version of I,Robot(IMO strictly).But I thought the dubbing also would have played a part but the Tamil version was no better.Rajni's voice and perfomance was dull and the despite the impressive CG(for an Indian film)it puzzles me no end as to what made this such a monstrous hit all over.

one quarter of Devar's Gomadha Engal Kulamatha (in conjunction with Maattu Pongal)
Pramila has a cow, Letchumi, who is almost human except that it can't speak.
Srikanth is a spoilt brat who would save a girl from being raped and then rape her.
He tries the same with Pramila, but Letchumi saves her. He is then jailed.
No one wants to get married to Srikanth because of this so Pramila agrees to get married to him!
Letchumi pleads, shakes her head and even cries, but to no avail..

Nanban
Watched it @ Ang Mo Kio Hub , Singapore (Nice screen with good sound effect)
Yes , Good time pass , entertaining.
I didn't watch 3Idiots , never even read story line or full review ,but heard lots of one line comments (positive) from many including my wife . There is a common opinion that if you didn't watch 3I , Nanban will be even more appealing ..That may be true , but not always , it may go the other way as well .. From the one liners i heard , I might have expected a soul stirring movie like TZP , Anbe Sivam (The fault is on me ..misunderstanding ) ..In that aspect a bit disappointment . Nevertheless , it is a good watch.
* Vijay is cool ..Must appreciate him for maintaining his physique , looks younger than Srikanth ..Acting wise , he did his job well .
* Sathyaraj's getup reminds me one of his getups in Villaathi Villian (or) some other movie he acted as Hitler ??
* பேண்டை கழட்டி விட்டு ஜட்டியோட விழுந்து வணங்குறது .. Did madhavan do this in 3I ? Enna kodumai sir ithu ?
* when i read review here randomly , some praises for Vijay to accept slaps ..I thought something like serious insult (similar to mahanathi) .. Friends chellama addikkurathu -kku ivvaLavu buildup-a ?
* இலியானா - இல்லிண்ணாலும் ஒண்ணும் கெட்டு போயிருக்காது ..I completely dislike her ..don't know why .
* understood painting the train kind of few things are the only shankar usual effort ..But atleast he didn't spoil the original , it seems .
Overall nice time pass .. Good for Vijay.

Yes the infamous scene. Liked it. Originally Posted by Plum
I find it easier to evoke Ebert's Law (2) in our films than in phoren films. In the latter I am bothered a lot about plot and what it is about that I am easily annoyed when it seems laborious. The making aspects are secondary. In our films it is very rare to engage really well with the content as such. Content based discussions seems a bit of hairsplitting to me (though I am guilty of exactly the same wrt to phoren/English films).
Perhaps because I take 'telling well' for granted for waeld films but it getting done well itself seems like an achievement for me.
When watching if you are drawn in and aren't in terra firma enough to ask question then you have to hand it to the artist. That's how I tend to keep score.
The flag-scene: indhiya oRRumai song, the vicarious fantasy of a urban-softie playing tough and defending a mere symbol with the undisturbed namaaz of Pankaj Kapur. It can hardly get more politically contentious than that. Worse (IMO!) is that it challenges plausibility at that moment. But you do not ask any of these questions as it happens, you are swept away in that moment. Magical 'ngREn.
To contrast it: RAvaNan was criticized for 'showing' the policemen being burnt by Vikram but NOT showing the violence of the state (only suggesting it through dialogues). There is an apparent attempt to balance but the way it is portrayed (it was suggested) ends up stacking the audience sympathies on one side. Is the creation of magic on screen itself not amazing to anyone, that they are able to take that as regular-stuff that they are able to easily discuss the effects of it (idhellAm andhandha season-l avan avan thingiradhu dhaan)?
The scenes in RAvaNan (or anything in that movie) are not a patch on Roja. Shouldn't these be discussed at some length before we even begin to discuss 'what it is about'.

The sequences in Roja were well executed, but 'magical'? At the time, yes, more to do with Rahman's BGM. Ultimately it's safe, & contrived (meant for the urban middle class) film. What is essentially a Non-existent patriotism of a madrasi, casting Swamy makes him feel more north-Indian btw (not that fair skinned people do not exist in TN, but just saying how easier it is for the audience to 'buy' that). The portrayal of terrorists is a joke. If it weren't Pankaj kafoor, it'd be a caricatured character without substance. Just coz it's Kafoor and his ability to delude the audience into believing there are more dimensions to that character, we're taken into it. I suppose this is what you're hitting at. That we're swept away, despite it being extremely empty at core of it.

Sadly Roja was when I thought, okay enough with the greatest director sh!t, the man lost it. Also, it was not until Thiruda Thiruda that I warmed up to ARR. They may not be of same genre, but Thiruda Thiruda was a lot more awesome than Roja. It was funny, didn't take itself seriously, and was a good fun ride.

The portrayal of 'makkaL pOraaLigaL' Vikram, Prabhu etc. is a joke. OTOH in Roja MR kept it tight. Except Pankaj Kapur no one else had a speaking part. He keeps the lot at a distance, menacing and indicepherable. Rishi trying to talk sense to them is the weak point of the film of course. But even there he made Pankaj Kapur talk to him a bit condescendingly - 'what do you know, yuppie' type feel. Which I think came out well.

I didn't find it magical, I think I rolled my eyes. Partially because the surging music, fire etc are such cliched ways of jacking up the emotional stakes, partially because Aravind Swamy humping the ground is kind of comical, partially because the cross-cutting to the prayers is so elbow-in-the-ribs, and yes, partially because of the mismatch between the treatment and what is being depicted, which is a reflection of my own beliefs.

Fair enough.
I didn't find it cliched. I thought it hasn't been done that well.
There is a howlarious scene in Sarathkumar's I love India, where terrorists murder his sister under his nose, but the man is frozen in inaction as the National Anthem is being played
The scene in Roja is conceptually the same. He is not even defending the symbol in public in the film. (contrasted against the refusal to cooperate 'Jai Hind' has something to it). This one is just plain bull-headedness in the middle-of-nowehere, done exclusively to evoke an emotional high in the audience.
EllAm therinjum it worked.

I didn't have to wait for too long, Madhavan proved me right by doing all these in front of Amir Khan soon after

Nanban- A movie that made me feel completely happy and satisfied after a very long time. The script is a master piece. We dont get to see such good scripts in TFI nowadays. And thanks to Director Shankar for remaking it and passing such gems to the Tamil audience. From Vijay to Rimsan (the milli meter guy) all actors and technicians (including Harris Jeyaraja) have done a great job. And kudos to Vijay for shedding all his marana-mass-masala elements and agreeing to do such great stuff. He was just perfect for the role and was quite adorable. Really happy for Satyan. He is a good talent that has not been utilised properly so far (except in movies like Mayavi). His role is equal to the lead role and he carried it so well till the final scene. Nanban is a MUST watch movie not once but many times ! Kandippa revisit paNNuvaen.
PS: I have not seen 3I and I dont think it will work for me as the dialogues are the great strength in the movie. There's no way the subtitles can create the impact.

If some one dont know hindi and see 3 idiots with Sub titles it wont impact much. But as for the dialogues in Nanban, most of the dialogues similar to that of 3 idiots only. Originally Posted by Roshan

Yes I know that most of the dialogues are from Hindi but it wont work for me as I do not understand Hindi. If it is a serious/emotional type of film it might work with subtitles (though not fully) but for a film like 3I/Nanban in which almost every scene has got both emotional and humorous stuff, watching with subtitles will definitely not work.

That's the great thing about Nanban and this element was there through out the movie and the highlight was the delivery sequence which was absolutely classy! All credits to the script ! Chanceless !!
BTW who is the script writer of 3I?

Its out and out Rajkumar Hirani material, I fail to see why FPS is credited the 3 guys in a premier engineering institution against the guy who runs it similarity as a one-liner or even a contribution to what 3I is. And, it was a sumaar original. Remake is fairly better.

I am so glad that I have neither read the book nor seen 3I. And even more glad that I did not know anything about the plot. And I am sure majority of the Tamil audience fall into my category, and that's why Nanban has worked well for the majority. And what an intelligent man Shankar is. It's a great decision to remake this in Tamil. And Shankar doesnt have to prove his own skills and talents. Adhu ulagam aRintha yaetrukonda vishayam.

Watched "Nanban" in theatres,
after protests of i watched the hindi version and not a Vijay fan per se...darn lousy willpower...I went.. :P
Anyways not bad at all...
-Songs were nice treat..esp. aska laska...wow background used in jelly belly song...stunning...love the mosaic style...the song though...what a bore...
-Alot of crying...Srikanth blubbering is not a pretty sight...doesn't have the same pull/charisma as Maddy did IMO
- Jeeva gave more dignity to his character compared to Hindi one...managed to nevertheless come across strong character...or is that just inherently how he is?
- Vijay...poor Vijay...seemed out of his element...and exhausted too...trying his best but wanting to run away...that's what it seemed like...was supposed to be the most happy-go-lucky guy but seemed like he played more on inner sorrow guy...
-Sathyan's version I liked better than the hindi version...got to show his chops for sure...got a little chance in "Ghajini" got a big chance here
- Satyaraj great or only? choice to play prof...though odd to have him put on the lisp...maybe they should have put more thought into what other quirk he could have instead of just copy same for same...
-Illeana...the closest replica they could get to Bebo in Kollywood perhaps?..."Muniamma" scene was totally not her thing...not believable at all...like parroting dialogue...the subtitles actually translated "Muniamma" as "Local Juliet"
-SJ Surya's appearence...come down from his high horse to play an apt character...could have played Rakesh too...why does this guy not do radio instead? I remember reading somewhere this guy has a degree in Physics....??
-Well if goal was to remake a movie...a closer copy couldn't have been made...better than a dubbed version of course...but does it add more? Not IMO...

Kanda nAL mudhal - By any yardstick, this is a solid debut film. Yes, it's all glossy, feel-good etc., but still well written for most parts. E Ramdoss, the dialogue writer, is a major #win. Film works mostly because of the dialogues. Followed by Lakshmi, she is a terrific actress, give her any role she will make it her own. (The most colorful character of the film is on a wheel chair). On the other hand, Revathi is super annoying. Her voice modulation still remains a huge no-no for me. Reminds me of psychiatrists for no reason. Not that I have visited any.
Was Devadharshini's story explained at all? I remember watching something but couldn't find any scene on it. She and the sister on this side who elopes bring superb contrast.
Prasanna should be the most-slapped-by-heroine hero. (Vijay TV can give an award based on this). Laila makes the film run longer by waiting for prompting. (This voice artist Savitha should be given atleast ten best actress awards, for all the films she has done.) Towards climax, nice louu feeling and good ferformance by both. Foreen return Karthik's voice itself acts.
Songs super #win again.

Louu parts of Khakha Khakha was also watched. Not as appealing as it used to be. (There used to be a Kollywood rumour that 'Dhinandhorum' Nagaraj contributed a lot to these portions).

he was the first choice for PrakashRaj's role in Mozhi....... but he rejected it saying he dont want to be a second hero in his friend's (Prakashraj) film (ithu Prasanna ve sonnathu)..from there it was kind of downhill for him i believe..... and after Anjaathey i think he was not sure which way he wanted to go....... candy floss chocolate boy hero or murattu aasami kind of role

Nanban.
Bloated with all the songs.
Standout performance 1: Satyan - stole the show.
Standout performance 2: Jiiva - moves you.
Expected sothappal: Sathyaraj - Shankar, why did you let him copy the original?
Expected to suck and sucked: Harris.
Wife (big fan of 3 Idiots): rejetted (except Sathyan).
Missed anything? No? Okay.

Enna kodumai Softie idhu. Oru honest opinion-A thevai illama 'bias, passion bias'-nu brand panradhu.
Just wondering which is more honest - to call a spade a spade as one sees it, or to vacillate or completely mask one's true opinion & giving false impression of agreeing with the general consensus, by default.
I asked what he made of Vijay, coz lot of intense Vijay-bashers I know are calling it a much tolerable 'performance', vast majority seem impressed.

oh ippo naandhaan sorry'yaa...
i said that bias because, he intentionally chose not to write about Vijay, and wanted somebody to ask
and he wanted everyone to notice that he chose to ignore it. this "Missed anything? No? Okay. "
and kid followed.
i found that funny and he has many times agreed that he has bias towards people.
adhanaala dhaan i said that in not so serious post. i ainta painter.
siva,
i remember his blog post was out of the world. if not, 'out of the world' taken back if that statement made u so sensitive.
when it comes to Ajith and Vijay, he chooses Ajith which showed in his review in a case where Ajith acted well.
for Vijay, maybe he did not like his acting there, he was not even ready to say 'Vijay acting was very poor'. velippadaya he chose to ignore.

yeah music for Nenjil is quite good also, but lyrics sits perfectly and is quite good, have felt that way only to VM/Vaali songs (ofc in modern era). Ennamo Edho hate is coz of repeated telecast or first lerundhe va? I dont like to see the song, but cannot skip the song whenever it plays on my list.. lyrics are the biggest reason. Aska laska also very good lyrics.. I like most of his work so far... Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

Nenjil nenjil lyrics are not very special .. but some cute lines are there.. and I thought I was the only one who liked that compostion. Very soothing melody by HJ. Harish Ragavendra sang the full song once in some VTV show and it sounded more beautiful than the original duet. Originally Posted by littlemaster1982

Absolutely. I am still waiting for Vijay to impress me like Ajith did. I have not become Ajith's fan, but because of Billa and now Mangatha, I am willing to fork out my hard-earned, while not hubbing, money and watch the next Ajith flick. Next Vijay flick. No. I still don't subscribe to "move the lower jaw only" Ventriloquist's Puppet school of acting, no matter whose hand is up its ass. Originally Posted by joe

I cannot say I am disappointed, looking at his career chart this is a peak.
The bad guy in him had been sleeping over the years, Shankar should have awaken that like he did in Endhiran. Only two guys has the license to ham it up now in TFI, Rajini and SR, formerly awesome villain actors. Rajini pulled it off in Endhiran, SR

May be Shankar can try somethign with SR in his next movies but this was a refreshing never-seen-before performance of SR. I am not interested in what Boman Irani did and am thankful Shankar did not let him get into that usual monotonous lollu stuff but brought out somethign different.

As half of Grouching tiger & Kidden Dragon to initiate this discussion, let me chip in saying that the role looks extremely cartoonish & quintessential antagonist for the friends to play off. I'd have liked a performance like Mr.Bharath, where he works around with his face muscles, so much so you'd mistake it for dislocated jaw.

No I have not, and people say he has reproduced the same - in that case I am glad, as I have told before majority of tamil audience have not seen the original and that's why this new style of SR had worked very well for them. If he had done his usual lolllu stuff I would have felt Originally Posted by groucho070
And I am sure Shankar knew that well. If he had changed his style may be it would have satisified a few like you who have seen the original and who are big fans of his lollu (btw a couple of my friends who have seen 3I said they liked SR more). And I dont think in both versions the role had anything to do with 'bad guy' so there should not be any questions regarding SR doing a bad guy role there.

Have seen KKK many times. I am a great fan of that flick.Even last month I watched it on TV when I was in SL. I have not seen others but you say they are lousy. So that explains things well. IMO KKK kind of perfomance should not be repeated. It's different and it still remains different because it's not repeated much. orae style'a thirumba thirumba paNrathula enna irukku. And Virumandi Santhanam role itself is something very different from what he has done before. Originally Posted by groucho070

Rajkumar Hirani's portrayal of the Chief, Boman Irani in both his films (haven't watched LRMB) itself very Cartoonish characterization, a mix of strict and comical behavior (such as bald, fatty, laughter therapy, stammering, etc..etc) largely chanceful of slipping-off the System. I haven't watched Nanban, Satyaraj is extremely talented no doubt about that if he has strictly followed Boman Irani then there is nothing wrong about that and that is what mostly needed there.
-

Those who haven't watched 3I may sure find 'Nanban' interesting. The problem with 3 Idiots is that its overly preachy of "All iz well" concept like Chitti's infinite version.

2nd half was better & watchable.. less unintentionally fun.. except for climax fight..
this is the first film by Jithan Ramesh, i watched..
liked Richa in "cute pondatti" song
typical simbhu dialogues...

* one reference to Dhanus...

The way the story and his identity is revealed (flaspek and forward) comes off well (booklayin appadithaana?)
The church scene with the sardar and the Binoche is legendary.
The scene where Fiennes makes love to Colin Firth's wife in the monastery is excellent. A Christmas so hot you can swoon! And in the background they are singing 'silent night'

Lingu can retire instead of making such movies which keeps you busy with your mobile. Maddy was bloated to such an extent that the audience started wondering who was pregnant in the second half, Maddy or Sameera. Whatever happened to the Maddy of AP or the recent 3I?

Million Dollar Baby on WB the day before,1st time-Million Dollar film.For most part,the film was travelling on the road of an interesting but cliched film where the underdog becomes triumphant against all odds but the twist and everything there after was a surprise, so much so that I was hoping it comes back to the often travelled path.

Maharaja (recently released tamil movie) - good but serial'like
One thing that strikes me is Anjali, playing a tempered girl again...in this movie its less than in Engeyum Epoothum. Natasha/Anitha plays a mistress, sexier than Anjali in the movie, thats a disadvantage for a heroine...
Message is good, and the movie is pretty short too... only 1 ½ hour. Nassar excels as the old man who tries to live life like a youth.

NizhalgaL Ravi as the killer and Sarath kumar as police inspector tracking were awesome..
I checked google and found that movie was released in 1993 and the director was Manivannan (no surprise).

JG,
Moondravadu Kann was a good thriller which was released then. IIRC that was the last movie of Monisha before her demise. There were some good thrillers released then. Kann simittum neram, Rendum Rendum anju were notable.

PORALI
- first half is more or less preachy.. was laughing at Sasikumar's advices.. time for some unintentional fun
- comedy works well in this, Ku.Gnanasambandham, badava Gopi, Ganja Karuppu.. & the most impressive Parotta Suri.. "nangellam appave appadi.."
- Sasikumar & his acting are his romantic look
- 2nd half is usual madurai based - kill - chase - kill
- one dialogue.. "namakku ceylOn'eh pidikkadhu.. idhula ceylOn parotta venumam"
-most genuinely funniest scene is the gulte gang coming in search of Naresh (last scene).. it's a spoof of gulte films
- can see some references to "pasumpon", they use it in Subramaniyapuram too .. reminds me of late 80's & early 90's madurai based films from Sangili Murugan(?) eppadiyum indha reference irukkum.. atleast in title song.. interested can see in PERIYA MARUDHU, later when they show in Sun TV... I think "karimedu karuvaayan" title song (IR sings, kadhai kelu kadhai kelu karuvaayan kadhai kelu) also has some similar reference
can watch once.. partly good.. but overall sasikumar & samuthirakani cannot come out of madurai-arivaal-nonnaigala slang.. & i don't like that much... others may like

Yes. Poraali is a time pass. But I liked first half HR And you were right about the climax scene when the telugu gang arrives Pasumpon reference ellam kaalam kaalamah ella periya actors um senjathu thaan :P including the greats of the tamil cinema. Ella padathulayum irukkathaan seyyuthu. Aennu thaan puriyala Is it due to bharathiraj and most of the directors who followed him after that?

From: HonestRaj on 4th February 2012 07:43 PM [Full View]
First half is good.. tried something different.. but i can't stand Sasikumar's close-up shots & giving some advice to viewers
liked Badava Gopi's dialogue "I didn't mean that, Shanthi"
reg. Paumponn ref. Bharathiraja did it for Sivaji.. then I've seen it for Karthik, title itself is enough, "pandi naattu thangam"..
thought of mentioning this.. thats all.. in Poraali, konjam minute'avum irukkum.. velippadayavum irukkum..

Didn't watch Ravanan then.. due to overly strong reviews against it. Didn't read reviews, except for bottomlines. Adhu vera department
Kandippa oru thadava paarkalaam. I didn't find it annoying.
Sujatha, is dearly missed. Still, Suhaasini is not haaribuzh as well. Passable.
Casting Prithviraj is a blunder, nonetheless. Definitely another gem from Mani saar. Nothing like Roja-Bombay level naansans at all. I fail to understand the angst.

Learnt that he received an Oscar for best actor for his role in this movie at the age of 29 and he is the youngest to do so. Any other good flicks/performances by this Actor?

I recently watched Unnai Thedi, which I never watched before. I thought the movie had obvious references of DDLJ, nevertheless decent watch. I liked Ajith during his initial days. Romantic flicks really suited his personality and he was kind of natural on those roles. Recent trend in his movies, is what switched me off. However Ajith never irritated me though I am not big fan of him.

Vikram is a decent movie and it could have been lot lot better if it had a tight screenplay. Kamal never looked better on the screen than Vikram. Till interval the movie moves fast and I watched may be year and half back and the movie aged well. That is one thing I always noticed in Kamal movies, his experimental movies always age well. I always think Vikram and Aalaanthan had the basics for great movie but execution did not justify the substance.

Mahaan Kanakku - a lesson to private banks.
A movie about a guy who loses his family due to bank loan, and how he gets even. Its a movie with a good message. Ramana finally gets a good script to show he is capable of better acting. If u see the heroine, u can go make some tea, cuz there will be song after couple of her dialogues. Srinath and Devadarshini plus that little daughter made good job, esp Srinath when he struggles with the cash collectors who keeps torturing him.
Couple of songs have good lyrics but badly composed. BGM is ok.
Director Sampath made a pretty good debute, I hope to see more movies by him in the future.

(தி.மோகனாம்பாள் படத்தில் பாலையா மனோரமாவை நாசியினாலேயே முழுங்குவது போல..)
மிகப்பெரிய எதிர்ப்பார்ப்பு பொடிப்பொடியாக நொறுங்கிய முதல் அனுபவம் விக்ரம். முழு நீள துப்பறியும் அம்சங்களை அடர்த்தியாக வைத்து காட்சிப் படுத்தியிருந்தால் கிளாசிக் -காக மாறியிருக்கும். கமர்ஷியல் சேற்றில் காலை வைத்து திரைக்கதை மிக மலிவாக போய்விட்டது.
ஆளவந்தானை ஒப்பிடும்போது, இன்னொரு முறை வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தால் விக்ரம் படத்தை பார்ப்பேன்.

Vikram was an epic misfire - whatever the intentions, net result is epic fail. Idha solliyE AgaNum. Kamal proving greatness of male gender with public urination logic is same level as Rajini beating Poornima Jayram in a dancing competition by stripping to jatti.

Like others already mentioned, Vikram was NOT a Sujatha novel Originally Posted by raajarasigan
It was a story specifically written by Sujatha for Kamal's movie.
Part of it also appeared in Kumudam as 'thodar kadhai' to create advance interest in the movie (like in cinema pAttu posthakam those days that gives part of the story and then says "meethi veLLiththiraiyil kANka") K Bagyaraj did a similar stunt in Kumudam earlier, for his mouna geethangaL and it was a super-duper hit movie.
Instead of the typical "Jayaraj padangaL" for Sujatha thodarkadhais (that used to have outrageous banian vAsagangaL for girls, like "TNDDC"), this series in Kumudam had the actual movie stills (that Venkkiram has mentioned about).

Generally Peter makes us cringe but Madhan was spot on.

Inception - Brillian brilliant stuff ! Wow what a creative director Christopher Nolan is.. I badly wanted Cobb to re-unite with his children but at the end I am not sure if he was still dreaming or if it was real.. And I guess that's the beauty of the movie.. Excellent special effects and back ground score. Di Caprio's voice modulation is something that I have started admiring after Tom Hanks'.

Poornam Viswanathan meets him for fixing the Pandian-Revathy match and just after he leaves the house, Pandian turns up. VKR asks Pandian to run to the street and call back the guy in vellai veshti sattai. Pandain runs and returns with a younger man.
Younger Man: nAn irukkAdhunga; ennai koopturukkA mAttArunga
Pandian: (Drags him) vAnga neenga
They reach VKR and VKR gives his trademark gaalis.
Younger Man: theruvula pORAvana kooptu vechu edhukku thittaRInga.
VKR: unnai evan indha theruvula pOga sonnAn.

Oru Nadaigaiyin Vaakkumoolam - Prostitution Confession?
I dont feel bad for wasting 2 hours watching this movie. Its better than wasting a month on bad book on 500 pages.
I have doubts whether it is a movie about prostitution or a movie about an actress? Is it common for a top actress to sell her body to reach the top like in the movie?
One of the main thing that really annoyed me was the MD, his BGM was too loud at some places u cant hear the dialogues..., that is a really pity for a less known MD to mess BGM up like that.
The less said about the movie the better, no one else gonna watch this. But it was a movie that really irked me about the thema.

லியோ டால்ஸ்டாயின் அதிக புகழ் பெற்ற " அன்னா கரீனினா" நாவலை தமிழில் சினிமாவாக எடுத்திருக்கிறார்கள். படத்தின் பெயர் "பணக்காரி".அன்னா கரீனினா-வாக டி.ஆர்.ராஜகுமாரி.அவரை சந்தேகப்படும் கணவனாக சித்தூர் வி.நாகையா. டி.ஆர். ராஜகுமாரியின் நண்பனாக எம்.ஜி.ஆர் . படம் எடுக்கப்பட்ட ஆண்டு - 1953.
ஆனால் படம் ஓடவில்லை. மனைவிக்கு ஒரு ஆண் நண்பன் இருப்பதை அப்போதைய தமிழ் சமூகம் ஏற்று கொள்ளவில்லை. அதில் ஒரு காட்சியில் தனது மனைவி டி.ஆர். ராஜகுமாரிக்கு , தனது நண்பர் எம்.ஜி.ஆரை கணவர் நாகையா அறிமுகபடுத்துவார். அதில் எம்.ஜி.ஆருடன் டி.ஆர்.ராஜகுமாரி கை குலுக்குவாராம். இதற்கே அதிக எதிர்ப்பு இருந்ததாம்.

After postponing this long watched AadukaLam finally. Amazing ! One of the best movies in Thamizh. Dhanush made me eat my words.. What a performance !!! A very well deserving national award ! Great performance by the one who did paettaikaaran role ( Dont know his name. Heard he is Sri Lankan) but half the credit should go to Radha Ravi for the voice. The ones who played the role Dhorai, Dhanush's mom and Dhanush's friend have done equally well. Well written characters and great screenplay. Super stuff by Vetrimaaran !!! Kudos to the entire team
PS: The only complaint is the ending.. It fell short compared to the rest. Should have been a bit more powerful.

nov,
in thamarai nenjam, there are umpteen scenes to talk about sd's performance. A single line in the song sequence of "adi podi paithiyakaari" is enough to tell her ability.
There is a line "நான் பாதை மாறிப் போவேனோ" just for that line, sd's expression would hold million emotions.

Leave her with the "best MGR pairing" award. And leave it at that.
Four SD film watching? You must be nuts. Okay, granted they have NT in it, but I'd be glued to NT. But gimme SD films without NT is like eating Idly sambar without the goddam idly. Here are some of the facts I picked up from a source named Spokesman Said:
Upon hearing SD speak, parrots pick up singing class to sing in baritone voice.
Each time she acts with NT, NT had to take additional half an hour break time to laugh his behind off in his room.
When SD romances, Romeo and Juliet turn in their respective graves even though they don't exist.
The cost of SD's makeup usually makes up 60% of the film cost, or roughly the GDP of Lithuania.
Okay, I got a bit too much there

"kulavilakku" stands last in the list of SD movie for me. I dont know if u wouild like it. Strong pesismistic approach. Songs are good. Only other great thing is to watch SD. Story cannot be dismissed as unreal, my mom's friend, had TYPICALLY similar life... very heart wrenching. I could not accept SD in such frustrated roles. It was painful for me, probably cause also I was reminded of my mom's friend who was so dear to me. Watch it... may be u will like it.
I rest my case and stop my post after posting strong condemn for comparing screechy, irritating, plain looking, not so talented, (add more negative adjectives) "devyani" with SD. I thought I should resist, but could not hlep posting this, after mentionining devyani second time. long live plum!

Ok, excellent culmination of this debate for me - ended up watching NdT in all her glory and to crown it all, Naan kavignanm illai now. Repeat of myown previous dialogue: I am a homophobe but if ever a man could make me cross that inhibition is nadigar thialgam. What style I say? What is that instrument he plays. Andha instrumentku moksham kedaichirukkum. (Notwithstanding the loaded meanings that can be mined out of this text, sometimes you've got to post what you've got to post)

i dont think this discussion started with comparing SD or Savithiri. Not sure why it ended up like that. Savithiri is NAdigayar thilakam no doubt about it.
SD had her bubbliness and presence felt in her movies always. I liked her small small teasing and wittyness.. So comparing them doesnt help here anyways.. grouch.. NT illena padame paakama irukradhu your choice ellorukkum appadi illaye .. So with GG or MGR or any other .. doesnt matter. She matched them gracefully and that's what we are trying to mention. Oru post panna udanaye sandaikku vandha eppadi .. then edhvume post panna mudiyathu endha threadum move agadhu..

Never quite liked savithri's over acting. Esp in navarathri, there are few scenes, she was plain boring. There are some good scenes too, no denying.
Every artist has their personal mannerisms, which shows them in poor light in some unfortunate moves. NT, KAMAL included. Being ardent nt fan, I could nto stand him in mruthanga chakravarthi, kamal's outburst and cry in nayakan actually was plain funny. Rajnikanth's stunts are laughable in some earlier movies. That I quoted for my "most favourite actors". Having said that, I can qoute umpteen sequences for not so favs like savithri types (IMO) .
Saroja devi like rajeshkrv said, was enjoyable, funny, witty, bubbly, stylish and INTERESTING, than most lead females of those days. Her romance, wit, smile, grace, dialogue deliveyr etc was def a TREAT to some of us. She was like cup of icecream or choclate amidst same dosa-idli cliche type ladies. She was like a fresh wild flower bouquet amidst innumerable malligapoo, mullaipoos around.
Somehow somewhere, for sarojadevi, there is a beautiful blend of "innocence and majestic beauty" mixed poetically in her body language and goes even deeper into her persona.
I would say the same for J.Jayalalitha and her prescence. (restricted only to her movies ofcourse!)

enna? saavithri and subtlety? are you ok Plum?
ok, leave that aside...
watched UTHIRI POOKKAL again, courtesy of Moser Baer
The first time I watched was on a very bad video cassette in the 80s.
The discussions on the movie (by Plum, PR, Bala, etc) made me want to watch it again very much.
Nice movie. Will have to read those discussions again.
I remember in the 80s Azhagiya kanne was such a rage. Also pOda pOda pokke - the first song SJ sang in the voice of an old lady
BGM was bad in many places, such as the panchayat fight and in the climax. I guess IR was on a learning curve during that period.
Overall, a movie that should be watched by all.

On bgm for UP, yes, it isn't the best of IR but the climax is goose-pimple bgm. Usage of chinna poongatru thaalatta in IR's voice through the movie is excellent. And the first interlude of azhagiya kanne as theme music is awesome. Btw, the definitve authority on UP in hub is not plum, p-r or bala. That honour goes to jaiganes, who has a) been absconding for some time b) has been putting off writing on UP for a longer time than that c) is expected to submit a paper on UP when he comes back

Great... but it was all your discussions that made me want to watch the movie again.
It gives a great insight into village life during that period.
Also Vijayan is not made out to be an evil villain... he is just your regular man, with a greater amount of negativity.

Saroja devi can act very well and I don't disagree that Savithri "also" acts well. But naama thaan thaanga mudiyathu. Savithri ellam ore senti type emotional acting and would have earned a lot of money from TV serials if she is alive. Savithri - repetitive, boring.

No one was there to help her. It is very very pathetic indeed. She was very very innocent lady indeed. Let us atleast not badmouth about her.

All I will say is this: NdT was unsubtle and overacting and unversatile in the same was NT was unsubtle and overacting and unversatile. SD was "natural" and "bubbly" and "versatile" in the same way GG was. Or even SSR. Or in the sad scenes, even AVM Rajan. As I said, Devayani equivalent of yesteryear.

Well I agree we are trading insults but still I can't understand for the life of me how could anyone slot Savithri as sob-queen. Seen Missiamma? Eh? Maya bazaar? She convinced me that she was a college student in mooga manasulu(telugu version of Praaptham). This when touching 35 possibly. And with all that girth. SD naanapattu pArthirukkengaLA? I am reminded of thirumathi pazhanichamy's "aththaan...seththEn" whenever I see SD blushing. She was slim in her earlier roles - yeah, a clear win over Savithri on that count. That much I can grant

let's not continue this discussion and degrade everyone here. Savithiri was a legend in her own terms so was SD.
like somebody saying "in my book vijay acts well" is all kiddish remarks. out of 100 movies even if you rule out 20/25 movies with MGR, all with GG/NT had very goof characters for SD with innocence,bubbly,witty etc..
it's not sole right of the hubbers only to like a few.. Let's leave it like that. everyone has their favs and will keep aruging and try to prove a point .. these 2 ladies are not exception. it happens to MGR/Sivaji rajini/kamal and who else... So let's take it peace guys..

Jai. rajeshkrv, my question was on "versatility" ambuduthen. If she is a good actor, nice in this role, awesome in that role, able to do this, personifies that character, so be it. But "versatile" is a terribly overused word these days that has lost its meaning. I wanted to restore its original meaning, that's all. Of course, the discussion led to attacking personal life and other tasteless stuff, including on weight.
I am especially astounded by the sensitivity of our fans on weight issue. I saw that recently even in Madhavan's thread. So be it, if he wants to be fat and do a Prabhu (two seats reservation), so be it. Career suicide? So be it. When we ourselves are not six-pack material (we don't have to see mirror, just look at our facebook), what the f_ should we bother about their weight? If they are doing good job on screen, fat or not (remember NT?), then as fans we should applaud or criticise. Just because some half-boiled ham is running around shirtless showing off his six-pack in all of his recent films, you can't expect true talents to do the same.
Sorry for digression folks. I am stopping this SD/Savithiri discussion. Let's get back to the original intent of this thread.

1. one of the lamest question to ask is are we model material to criticize an actress. pardon me monseur, are we preening ourselves in front of the cine-camera for worldwide view? its a pity that such a simple and obvious fact skips the mind.
2. when ones idea of good acting is by way of showing examples like madhavan in thambi and manmadhan ambu, it just means that mediocrity is not only celebrated but bad acting is hailed. thus showering accolades on Savithri comes as no surprise.
3. the only reason some ppl are heaping praises on savithri is becos of her association with Sivaji. SD is dissed becos she is usually associated with MGR.
strip savithri of her sivaji association and you realise that she is an emperor with no clothes.
you know very well why MGR didnt errr utilize her ...
4. Praptham is a the best tribute to savithri who was nearly 40 but looked 50+ acted as a college going kid! the movie flopped and her production house flopped. poor NT who was the only saving grace in the film (besides the songs) would rather forget about the movie. such a great actress she was!
btw, this whole thing started becos some ppl could not bear SP and I praising SD and had to come in and spoil the show.

Savi3 is not hailed for "PRaaptham" or even "9raathiri".
I am a big fan of early day charm and exuberance of Savi3 of Mayabazaar and "missiamma".
All the later movies(read late 60s) were hamfests trying to prove why one actor or actress is XYZ thilagam or MNK pottu.
and the "Acting" saras from bengaloor was a nightmare wrapped up in multicolor makeup - with hands bending at incongruous angles in emotional scenes with words pronounced with a 3rd standard little girl diction - officially marking the segway of thamizh film heroines losing the language skills for pretty appearance. So she symbolises a certain fall from grace (if you may want to call it that) for thamizh film actresses. Till then the G.Varalakshmis and SVaralakshmis had supreme command of the language (good enough to speak kalaignar and kavignar's dialogues).. I havent said enough, but this is a big chunk of rock off my chest..

Whatever people throw as accusations against NdT are applicable to NT as well - and ofcourse the supreme defence that cvan be mounted for NT applies to NdT as well. Rewriting history claiming SD is versatile is the laughable thing. It is like claiming MGR/GG was a better, versatile, bubbly, natural actor than NT. Ofcourse opinions differ.

Anyway, the discussion started because of the misuse of the word "versatility". As grouch pointed, some of us are sticklers for appropriate usage of words. If you say "greatest actor", the actor must be of the calibre of NT - ofcourse no such feller exists but atleast he must belong to the same acting planet as NT, hanging off a precipice off Antartica atleast as NT lords out in the equatorial plains. It pains me to see such superlatives and qualifiers bandied about easily. What next? Venkat Prabhu is a versatile, brilliant director?

I can say sd did lot of such roles, lot of majestic roles like arasakattalai, sentiments, fun, heroine oriented roles, ...WHAT NOT!!! And she SHOWED variance in all those characters. Savithri showed very little VARIANCE. This is not to compare savithri(whom I have respects ofcourse) and sd... but MY PERSONAL opinion has it that, sd treated us with more vareity than savithrai.

And SD had GUTS to laern a new language foreign to her own. I think that has to be appreciated. I dont think diction matters here. Most of u are irritated with her shrill voice. If its just diction, how on earth do we wave welcome white flag to heroines and tv comperers of present, who has no knowledge about tamizh or its richness.

Like i said i can think of genila in santhosh subramaniyam...THAT is not how an innocent girl acts. That gives u a small doubt if the girl is sane or probably suffers from less iq.
Innocence also comes iwth majestic behaviour, like how sd does...or how trisha does in "unakkum enakkum something something" Notice the difference.
Doing such role is NOT EASY, and its cake walk to our abhinaya saraswathi.

But if she applies the exact same standards to SD, SD nadicha oru padam, oru paattu, oru scene, oru shottu kooda thERAdhE? As Saai pointed out "ezhu kazhudhai vayasaachu.

NT does not talk
Saviathri does not talk
They smile, cry, hug, hit each other........... ABSOLUTELY no talking... simply loved her (needless to say nt too) there

And SP - fyi, Savithri's mother tongue is Telugu. So, avabgaLum kashtpattu dhaan tamizh kathukitturuppAnga. (Ofcourse GG with AnA AvannA might have helped accelerate the process as compared to MGR as tutor for Saroja, so I concede NdT had an inherent advantage here). In Telugu, they simply refer to her as "mahanati"(Great Actress). And though it is just an adjective, not a title like NdT, their respect is seen in the fact that that adjective is never used for any other actress till date.

//People doubted her ability to speak Tamil, but MGR had faith in her and encouraged her to learn and speak Tamil and casted her in his home production Nadodi Mannan in 1958 as well.It was the Tamil film Nadodi Mannan opposite MGR in 1958 that catapulted Saroja Devi to superstar status in Tamil Film industry.After this she immediately received offer to make her Hindi debut opposite Dilip Kumar in Paigam(1959). She never allowed any one to dub for her and insisted that she would speak by herself as a result none of her Tamil movies her voice was dubbed by any other artiste since the beginning of her career.///
//Saroja Devi's energetic performance as a patriotic queen raging against the British in Kannada flick Kittooru Rani Chennamma, which won the national award for Best Film in 1963, brought her much acclaim////
That says only "tamizh ppl" had problems with her sweety tweety cutie voice ....she did manage to rise up amidst all those negative remarks...WHAT A FIGHTER...
thankyou wiki....
The movie Ive watched is
"sri krishna rukmini sathyabama" *ing SD, rajkumar

//Her Telugu hits were Seetha Rama Kalyanam and Jagadeka Veeranukatha in 1961 with NTR, while her hits in Hindi films included Paigham (1959), Sasural (1960), Opera House (1961), Pareeksha, Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya(1963) and Beti Bete (1964) and in addition Kannada hits like Chintamani(1957), School Master(1958), Jagajyothi Basaveshwara (1959), Kitturu Chennamma (1962).It was at this time in 1962 that she was crowned Chaturbhaasha Taare, because of her popularity in these four languages . She had mincing accent, smart and perky attitude and this made her popular among the audience of all the four languages///

Not just Tamil , any language ..diction is one of the criterias .. Savithri is not just known for diction ,for many ..Diction is definitely one of her strength . I am not a fool to say that diction is the only criteria for great actress . For that i can't look for somebody who is bad in diction to rate high. Originally Posted by selvakumar

All this Saroja devi talk reminds me of a old thread in olden times in hub: there was a chat sort of thread wherein people indulged in banter and one day, as a fad, people started to talk in veNBa, viruththams(I am sure feeyar would have loved that gang). This went on for pages with people writing faux-venbas and marabu kavidhais on trivial matters, including abusing one another in pure marabu kavidhai. All of a sudden, Srikanth, who was famous as a budding musician in these shores came up with this "kavidhai" : "enakku pidikkum sarojadevi...enakku pidikkum saroja devi...enakku pidikkum saroja devi...(pause)...enakku pidikkum saroja devi". That literally put a stop to the whole faux-kavidhai business. Ofcourse, he didn't mean the actress Saroja Devi

Never expected and never will expect serious stuff from Lingu. I was just hoping for decent entertainer ala Run, which lingu has done in past. But Vettai to me was a lousy attempt, if not for the 2 leads the movie would have bombed at BO. I am still surprised on how this movie recovered its cost/made some profit. Only positive of vettai was Madhavan, he excelled in the limited scope offered to him. Originally Posted by groucho070

The problem with Jodi Breakers isn't Madhavan but Bipasha Basu, whose time would be better spent with an acting coach instead of a personal trainer. Of course, she looks sensational, but why, with a body like that, is she stuck in this story about extremely ordinary people? Rather than remarking that Madhavan needs to drop a few kilos, maybe we should begin to discuss if Bipasha's wardrobe needs to be equipped with love handles.

I did see the movie Dirty Picture and the movie itself was not bad. Vidya Balan did a good job and as usual Naseeruddin Shah did a great job. But I am not sure whether the story plays true to Silk Smitha's life. I can't connect co-stars of Vidya Balan to any tamil actors for that matter. Please clarify if you guys see this movie true to Silk Smitha's life.

in real life Silk Smitha was married at a very young age, ran away from home and ended up in films.
she was introduced to movies by vinu chakravarthy
later there was a bearded man in her life (thats how the papers would report then.) and then she came to know Balu Mahendra, did a couple of movies with him and then ended up dead. Talk then was her suicide was linked to the already married BM.

Pulan Visaranai (1990) - good debute movie
Heard this movie title many times, wondered how the movie was. It was a bit different than the usual movies in the beginning of 90s. Vijaykanth as the Honest Raj... and Sarathkumar as Villain. A good cop movie. Great screenplay by R K Selvamani.
There were some memorable dialogues too. Ill remember this line in my life forever: "sattam oru kazhuthai, munnala pona kadikkum, pinnala pona uthaikkum". ROFL

I thought AadukaLam BGM was very good. The BGM in the entire sequence at the police station, where Paettaikaaran challenges the Inspector is still ringing in my mind. Also the BGM during Saeval Sandai scenes were really good. It manages to create the anxiousness that's required throughout those scenes. Overall nice work by GVP both in terms of songs and BGM.

isn't it little unfair to compare? Last year GVP had directors like Vetrimaaran, Vijay (though I don't think he is talented) and selvaraghavan. Yuvan worked in films like manktha, Rajapaatai and vettai, in which of these films he should have come up with something like this please? Aaranyakandam's score beats it all anyway hands down. you can argue about his songs, his recent ones were really bad but nobody can say anything about his bggm work. Originally Posted by Mahen

i wanted to watch ullE pO scene.. but what to do.. TNEB has the final laugh [adhukkapuram power cut..]
unintentional fun in some scenes..
for example.. watch the facial expression of Janakaraj when Devan's men tear the auto & search for the diamond..
& the singh, tea kadai nayar, mahanadhi shankar.. all waiting for Janakaraj's command..
despite of these, the suspense & expectation of Basha is well maintained.. good messages in between in the first half, though some scenes looked dramatic
& i did not like the locality set..
the auto stand name is MGR Auto stand..... MGR'na rickshawkaran'nu theriyum.. sathya movies'ngradhukkaga ippadiyo?..
Rajini's father is vijayakumar & step mother is sathyapriya... same like Panakkaran..

Because of the songs and romance in Aadukalam, I had like 15-16 failed attempts to sit through the movie before I eventually reached the meat of the movie and realised what people were raving about. As a visiting card to the movie, the songs may have worked with their hit status but they were epic fail in terms of sustaining the script's greatness. The fakeness of GVP's "folk", "folk oriented", "folkish" or "rustic" is a whole big topic by itself. Another sample #naan sonnadhum...muthupechi - the muthupechi bit is so forced into a distinctly non-rustic sounding tune that it stands out sore. Perhaps, that's the fate of Muthupechis. Being used as a forced rustic colour giver to "modern trend"(dont know what other word to use here) tunes and MDs. Maybe the explanation is that the situation itself is one of city-slickers imagining themselves to be muthupechi hence the incompatibility. But Aadukalam doesnt even have that excuse.

Aval Appadiththan. First of all hats-off to both Kamal and Rajini to act in female oriented and dominated movie. It had to be the Sripriya's best performance. She suited the role so well and I couldn't think of anyone else in that role. The movie had the feel of Satyajit Ray movies where the dominance was given to meaningful dialogues and relationships. This is probably first and last movie of its kind. Exceptionally well ended movie. Overall great movie and it is sad that we have not seen anything like that afterwards.

P-r - if I watch aadulakam again, I will see if what you say holds. Fact is I had 15-16 false starts - the romance parts were such a road-block. I don't think the songs enhance the movie as a movie(maybe as a boxoffice product, yes). I see your point about script and performances holding up a movie no matter what else - but I am used to BGM being a big player, absence of proper BGM leaves a void. No, hitting a random note on the broad mood of the scene doth not BGM make. I see a lot of people falling for that. Which is why MDs are even resorting to lift BGMs from, say, a beautiful mind, and use it for say, Deiva thirumagal(not accurate, but you know what I mean).

The scene where he beats up the paNNaiyAr's son Saradha Preetha comes out and screams at him and says, she will never be impressed by the heroics of his whip.
All along she was the more intelligent, perceptive sister. And even she misunderstands him. Even she thinks he is just a brute, like everyone says.
She doesn't even say he is beating the paNNaiyAr's son because he is a romantic rival - which would be a bad enough misunderstanding of mAyANdi. She says he is trying to win her over by being a brute. WTH - can a misunderstanding be more complete.
And he doesn't endevour to correct. He realizes his selfishness at that point? Why was he blocking her marriage - because he wanted his child to be taken care of. He didn't even consider her - which is what he does at the point in the movie.
And what was his rage at that point. It was rage against MIL - who is presented by the paNNaiyAr as a gold-digger, who is trying to outwit him (by trying to catch the paNNaiyAr's son- someone whom he cannot hit). It is not that he doesn't want to let go of Saradha Preetha, wants her for himself or anything. Of her own accord she wants to be his child's mother. And he is fine with that going on. He can only see any development to the contrary as a machination of his MIL. That is used very well by the paNNaiyAr.
And in the one hour I saw, I saw some shot selections which were impressive.
The veLiyoor maappiLLai (Rambo Rajkumar?) is sitting in the thiNNai with a parisam-thattu. The shot opens focusing on his foam-show. The incongruity of the outsider! Draws back to the thattu and the scene, the whip stopping it and restarting.
So many sequences of the camera craning up - probably incidental but the effect weas lovely. The scene after the fight it zooms out from Rajkiran and rises to show the street wide with writhing injured men. You see the destruction he has caused. The rampage! Have our action heroes used simple devices such as this?
The opposition shown from below the heroes legs - has been used and overused. (My favourite overdoing is in Rajini's fight with Tiger Prabhakar in Muthu - it descends from Rajini's shoulder, passes through his legs and rises up--how the deuce would they have shot that!). But this felt very raw - from the initial days of using those shots - interesting.
When paNNaiyAr tells his edupudi that he mAyANdi cannot be defeated and that's why he has roped in his own guys to backstab him.
The first half of the sentence is a midshot showing only the paNNaiyAr and edupudi, as they speak it zooms out and we see they are in the first floor, the recede to the background and in the foreground we see the potential traitors.
Nothing earth shattering, sublime or subtle. But just good grasp of simple film-making. And KR was an asstend of Visu - who merely filmed stage-plays.

One of the panjaayathus that has been going on is a laughable assumption on some people"s part who claim zero reach of IR's songs after 2000. Infact they know it is not true but claim so because of prejudice. I am not saying they shouldn't. They have the right to.

Muran (missed first 20 minutes).
Plot stolen from Strangers on a Train alright. But tell you what, it's much better executed here, if you ask me. Chandler scripted the original and he hated it. He's right. Also, for the first time I liked Prasanna, his look and performance. So and so film, watchable once.

Easily one of the worshtu I have seen recently There is absolutely no reason why one should watch this film beyond a few minutes. But I still watched so that at least I can justify the film's title. Uninspired. Insipid. அவ்ளோ அலட்சியம் படம் எடுத்ததுல.
And a parade of soora mokkai heroine-materials in the film. Shabba.

And I don't know which other maranamokkai enjoyed such support in the hub. And grouch has goneto the extent of saying its better than SOAT. Yeah right, million scenes in the first half to *establish* the characters, a mahaamokkai twist, hilarious sub-plots etc.

Brother, have you watched SOAT, it is easily one of the worst Hitchcock films ever. Incredibly stupid plot, and the most wooden performances from a time when most actors were awesome. Can you even remember the names of the lead stars from that film? Jim Stewart? Cary Grant? Peck? Anyone? So, stupid plot, so and so performance, with Prasanna finally watchable, with some songs, music, blah, blah, blah, it makes an okay, watchable Tamil film. Watchable-nu sonnEn. One time. It's not Mullum Malarum or Guna. Easy mate. Like what Joe said, with so many kuppa getting accolades here, this one is so much better. Originally Posted by Nerd

Strangers on a Train is visually interesting, which Muran is not. There is not one scene in Muran that is striking as the famous scene with the killer reflected in the wife's glasses. Secondly, the moral ambiguity, the social climbing and homoerotic tension in Strangers on a Train is far more subtle and compelling than the ludicrous second half of Muran. Prasanna was fine but the script was painfully stupid and the direction was uninteresting. My runner-up un-favorite part is when Prasanna has to repeat his masterplan three times as Cheran blinks and says "Nee enna sollavarai" and "Enna? Ethu? En?" as they stand lamely in a field. The #1 un-favorite is the dad and the puppy. The Prasanna and his girlfriend storyline were straight out of 1950, except back then there would have been eight songs and three dance sequences to justify the hammy histrionics. Prasanna did alright, under the circumstances. Originally Posted by groucho070

SOAT 'Wooden performances' So so disagree. Leave the Tennis dude, the rich demented manchild is a superb performance.

I suppose Hitch casts non-stars precisely for the homoerotic tension.

As brilliant as the murder by lake and the carousel set-piece in the end, is the opening scene with both pair of shoes making their way into the station, and then by sheer accident & chance, the shoes (one modest & other extravagant) taps one other, among the many other pairs which didn't.

So.. what is the criterion to determine if a performance is worth getting awarded or not..
I feel there must be a moment in the film where the actor breaks the shackles imposed by the director and brings out a portrait of the character he/she plays vividly - without ambiguity, without excuses - driving the definition of the character into the minds of audience strongly and how does the actor do it there?
By this yardstick, I rate Barrister Rajinikanth from Gauravam as one of the top 3 performances of shivaji - particularly the climax when the defeated barrister is recounting his "case files" one by one up till the "mohandas" case - the one that handed him his first defeat.. Shivaji makes the character memorable and the character too overwhelms shivaji in some ways - coz with a little retrospect anyone can say that the definition of "gauravam" as through that character is rather flawed, yet it is the angst of the character brought out in the fashion done by sivaji - makes all yardsticks we hold to vanish for that moment and we are simply caught in the aura shone by the Lion on screen. Personally, that is a sivaji moment i will take to my "electric crematorium".

Even when talking about something powerpacked and larger than life I'd any day take VeerapANdiya Kattabomman than barrister Rajinikant.
Of course both of them are hyper dramatized performances. But I feel there is more apt in the former. Perhaps because there is a folklore, legend aspect to it.
But I could never buy into barrister and prestige. Something keeps coming in the way.

SS,
Sholay ippa muzhusa paakka mudiyuma therila. But that time, those kind of stories were new to us, especially those mass murders and Gabbar singh's uber cool acting. I would even say after Gabbar singh only the villain character in film industry shaped up nicely. Ippadi ellaam kooda villain iruppaara, paarkarthukku onnumE theriyadavan pOla, but what an anger inside him. Sippy would have brought that very well. In that sense, these films you have to watch going back to 1975, it may not work now, as we have seen more cruel villians and revenge stories than that, but that was the first one I believe (IMHO). I have never seen any villain as cruel as Gabbar that time.
Even if we take out all the gabbar singh, dharam, amitabh, the climax one thing definitely stands out even today is Sanjeev Kumar as Thakur. That village, his maid, his widow daughter, the flashback and his revenge towards Gabbar. I can watch that episode any number of times. I love Sanjeev kumar's acting very much.
my two cents...

Plum, ultimately this cannot be explained. VPK is powerpacked. Gouravam and VV make me cringe. But let me try to elaborate..
People can call padikkAdha mEdhai Rangan overacting. But I find it fantastic. Extremely moving. Every time I watch. I am totally connected to it. And his performance is everything in that movie.He couldn't've done it any other way and made the movie work. But someone who cannot connect with it can feel Sivaji's performance was over the top.
In Gou, VV it felt totally stagey. I don't like it at all. I find it impossible to like Yooo foolofanass *pout*
By the way I am not even dissing it - not for lack of wanting to. I am merely saying I don't like this being disproportionately remembered.

VPKB quoted by P_R is a historical figure and there are people who lament the historical inaccuracy in the story and the unneccessary grandioseness taking the movie appear like a typical raja rani story. However The performance there was single note one - a mere continuation of "Valour" from manohara.
Gauravam is a different piece of cake altogether - have the "younger goody goody boring " alter ego and unleash the real dragon in Rajinikanth.. Every movement, gait and look are purpose laden and continuously beaming the devil may care atheistic lawyer playing by his own rules, with ego size of an elephant - primarily derived from the professional skill - was there any other movie in thamizh before which highlighted the intricacies of profession of a protagonist in a delightful way?
Set aside the performance, the movie as a whole was spot on on most of the criminal legal matters, the scene where mohandas is granted bail (before he comes running to Rajinikanth) - Actor veeraraghavan playing a sessions magistrate - the entire legal limbo was correct - authenticity of material was impeccable. No one can claim "loud acting" here either. If anything was show spoiler to me in this movie - it was the younger female and nagesh's comedy villain part...
Another delightful scene that was crafter innovatively for its times - the mock trial in rajinikanth's house leading to acquittal of mohandas - The real trial and court verdict - totally done away with in the movie - considering the time it was released - it must have been a big jump of understanding and to let the viewers connect the dots - nicely done.
So not a simple "stage play" drafted onto movie this gem..
Having said all that , Coming back to sivaji saar's performance - ignoring the goody goody double act which could have been done by surya appa in his clumsiest larvae phase, the real meat was the character of Rajinikanth who has never met the "alternative of victory" that Lord Tennyson alludes to in Wimbledon, is never over the top - even one single moment - for his "high context" interpretation of a boisterous barrister is spot on. If people want charuhasan kind of portrayal of a "flaboyant" trial lawyer - then they are free to skip this one - but have no right to call this "over the TOP" - coz it is truly a top drawyer performance.
Even a younger and (reality, under the top etc., etc.,)grounded actor like nasser couldnt get to even 20% of this character when he attempted it in "Karuppu VeLLai" (a movie released in 90s).

Great post, jai!
Another real-life person whom I can completely connect to Barrister is the lady doc who did prasavam of our child #1
My son was born on an AN and I was in the clinic that evening when she was doing a c-section upstairs...there was something that wasn't right and she came down to the reception and roared Every hospital assistant in the lobby was running helter skelter...she was freely using words such as 'nAyi' etc.
People who call Sivaji acting as OTT should have seen her that day

Like I said, I'm a sucker for NT's performances in Gauravam and VV. I still maintain that I found it OTT- Riveting but OTT. Its not something i am going to be apologetic about, as an NT fan. OTT is not only about being "loud" - app, I'm sure all of us have seen loud, dominating, stubborn characters, relatives. Adhu prachanai illa. Intense, every little thing is stressed, expressed to the hilt. I think Jai articulated it best (disagree emphatically with his conclusion in his last post though) the performance on screen just consumes you, total surrender.

App, whats with the real life examples? Its really childish, if I may say so. There would have been at least a 100 differences between the ones you saw and Barrister Rajinikanth anyway.
I for one have not seen anybody like Barrister or periyathEver in real life and yet I think periyaththEver and a handful of other avatars of Sivaji (no real-life connection again) pwns Barrister.
And that's not the panjaayaththu at all. Me/PR/KV/Saai said we don't want Sivaji to be remembered (mocked actually) for G/VV. Nobody even dissed that performance if I am not wrong. The point is there are more people who mock G/VV than the ones who appreciate it and if Sivaji has to be remembered for other films, the chances are that, the first group << 2nd group which is what everybody wants.

In that sense, these films you have to watch going back to 1975, it may not work now, as we have seen more cruel villians and revenge stories than that, but that was the first one I believe (IMHO). I have never seen any villain as cruel as Gabbar that time.
Even if we take out all the gabbar singh, dharam, amitabh, the climax one thing definitely stands out even today is Sanjeev Kumar as Thakur. That village, his maid, his widow daughter, the flashback and his revenge towards Gabbar. I can watch that episode any number of times. I love Sanjeev kumar's acting very much.

The best person to talk about Barrister is Mohanram sir, whose father was the inspiration for NT for that role. NT catered for everyone. There. If you want the kind of acting which is designed not to wake up sleeping babies, there are many such performances in some pretentious art-house flicks. Go there, we are happy where we are.

I'd say screw these people who remember NT as "the over-actor from Gowravam". It is obvious they haven't scratched even the surface of what it is. What do we do to ppl(peeps) who view IR as " that oldMD without a clue on modern trend in 200s"? You know how THOSE people are viewed by sensible people of this world, Nerd?. I don't think a NT admirer should be apolegetic to those folks. If in doubt, ask yourself "what would Plum do to MT Mahadevans".

Over-the-top is not a perjorative expression. It is a style that is sometimes very much needed.
I think what is happening is all ye Gouravam supporters think all the naysayers dislike all hyperdramatic performances. Not at all.
Last night I saw the first half hour of Navarathri.What absolute brilliance. Acting masterclass.
Quite undeniably over-the-top and pronounced to underline the difference between each of the characters. But done in a way that makes it look like extreme behavioral quirks and not something contrived - which is the impression Gouravam and VV give me.
Arputharaj with his shoulder jiggle, 'nonsense' and 'Nalina' - the way he says that - creates the feeling of curiosity that the character is supposed to. After Savitri exits the scene - right before the sollavA song - he switches on the radio. The line 'peNNendru boomidhanil piRandhu vittAl...' is said. He pauses, chews on the line , repeats it ruefully. Film of tears in his eyes, his expression completely changed - he is on to something totally poignant. And at that precise moment he jiggles the shoulders and arms the same way and walks off. The hithero gimmicky gesture suddenly seems weighty. Its like he makes you feel bad for noticing the gesture more than the man. Sivaji wasn't caricaturing. He was showing a man with a quirk - but still a real man.
The iravinil Attam guy has a long monologue where he tells his story - curious angle for that shot. He is chewing on an apple when talking. What he is narrating is painful. But the emotion of his narration is not. It's like he is talking about past pains that he is trying to get the better of - that's what that night is about for him. He is mimicking the lines spoken by his wife - in a tone which is desolate but also beyond the point of caring. Superhuman acting!
Gouravam/VV do nothing of that sort to me. I am actually tickled by many of the serious scenes.
The moment in padikkAdhavan where he is the judge seat and recognizes his brothers, the ending scene in Mudhal mariyAdhai where he 'communicates' with Radha. I don't like these.
In VV/Gouravam, he is permanently in that mode of performance.
Compare Sivaji's performances in 'pAlakkAttu pakkaththilE' and 'sakkai pOdu pOdu rAjA'. Both are typically hyperdramatized - that is not the problem at all. The latter is fun. The former is grating. idhukku mEla enakku explain paNNa therilappA.
To slightly differ from Nerd, it's not about others mocking, it's me myself not being taken in by those performances.
And 'who else can do it?' is an unselected question. Only Kamal can do Dasavatharam - adhukkaaga?
andha characterukku appadi dhaan seyya mudiyin and all I get. But I am unselecting totally - character and acting. Discredit-ai VV Sundaraththukkum, Sivaji-kkum pangu pirichchu neengaLE kuduththukkunga.
And, to repeat, I don't mind (pAr rA!) you guys liking the performance. But taking it to define him, singling it out as his best, using that as a visiting card for him and all...is what I am expressing my disfavour against.

Opposite camp-u-thAn, but I like what you wrote up there P_R, very nice
Gouvaram performance is like taking whiskey neat. I wouldn't advice it for those who are new to NT. Start with jujube performances that can impress those wet behind the ears, like Devar Magan or Muthal Mariyatha, and work it up slowly when they are absolutely able to drink without soda and ice, and then voila! Gowravam.

Feeyar - give us some credit. I don't think I ever insinuated about gowravam dissers never liking hyperdramatic performances. What I took objection was to slot it as "overacting that real NT fans need to be defensive about to naysayers". I clearly mentioned that in the last post - if you have your own objection, that's fine but naysayers' reaction ellAm shouldn't bother us-nu. I think grouch put it well. But thinking about it supporters of "aNNamalai" Rajini can throw the same logic at me. My "aNNamalai" =your "Gowravam" I guess. Both made for the hardcore fans of a certain version of the actors NT and Superstar, and very well made for that particular target audience. And I also see the point that "idhai appreciate paNNa sollo dhaan avaru hitler, justice ellAm nadichAr". But there is no denying that this is the pinnacle of "hyperdramatized stylized" school. I don't think these warrant comparison with rangan, kattabommu naicken etc. These have to be looked at as the pinnacle of the hitler umanath genre. My eternal regret - sivaji ganesan oru shotojit re padathulayAvadhu nadichirukkalAm; raasaiyaa oru shotojit re padathukkAvadhu isai amaichirukkalAm. You know, late 80-early 90ssla when new movies of Ray-ku Raja isai apdinnu oru news varAdhAnnu newspaper-ai thozhAvina kAlangaL uNdu(Ray paththi neRaiya theriyAdhu but periya appAtakkarnu theriyin).

*Truffles*, by your lofty standards Grouch, that's a triffle disappointing. Hitch-a kitsch-nu sonna pina eppadi.. He doesn't do gimmicks. Now he might be flawed in his approach, judgmental, misogynistic, voyeuristic, insensitive and what not.
NT in Gauravam especially is full of quirks which have been refined (since) by lesser actors and regarded rather well. The spoofs has rarely worked to me (actually spoofing is overrated and at times, complimentary). Satyaraj does a sincere spoof of NT that works well for larger audience.

Gauravam is high quality hamming. The quirks are all majestic genius by the way. Rarely goes wrong as Agneepath or AKS (when Bajpai takes over, showing how Bachchan cannot do a Bajpai - BPM would go livid if they heard that) or Alavandhaan (last act especially).
I hate his stage-in-a-film performance as Caeser btw. I'm sure he's far better in live theater acting than that.

pretty good dvd print online...
fantastic movie... and i liked the was they planned like the heroine goes out to meet all 9 avatars every day... interesting premise...
sematthiya pannirukkaar periyavar...
the best moment for me was the 'dance in the night guy'.. the long scene where he hugs around the pillar and narrates his story with apple... remarkable apdiyae varaadhu illa.....
arputharaj enakku konjam peter'a pattuchu... but ippo peter udradhukkum appo peter udradhukkum vitthiyasam irukkulla... he was so stylish there...
and another moment was the bala gana saba guy.... unmailaye kootthu katravan dance maadhiri... i never knew sivaji could dance this well...
i noticed myself more than once being 'awed' when seeing many scenes... sila padam paakkurappo dhaan adhellam varum...
key3 also did very well... her scenes in the police station/mental hospital
kaal amukkuravan karutthu: 9N better than 10A for me... in terms of acting and premise.

One single long shot of dialogue. Exceedingly well delivered.
And in the song you have the shot where you see 9 Sivajis in the mirror and then he enters the frame, Savithri goes to that exact spot. In one shot. Actors positioning evvaLO perfectA irundhirukkaNum summA - nee appadikkA pO, naan ippadikkA varEnnu ellAm edukka mudiyAdhu.
Camera angle for that shot- slightly low and tilted up. So he would have had to crouch a bit and maintain that to be in the center of the frame when delivering all those lines.
One line where he is quoting his wife. Something on the lines..."indha veettulayE...oru moolaila irundhukkurEn <pause> 'nga appadinnu sonnA"
He was clearly having fun packing so much into moments of the film.

i was expecting atleast 2 fletchers... but ellaarum thangachi thangachi'nraainga... palaya padam palaya padam dhaanya... and i liked it that they did not build up a climax like any masala film... idha ellaam vechu dhaan andha comparision.
and yes. i counted the 9 reflection in the mirror... actually the pacing was slow enough that even i noticed such things valakkamaa naan avlo soottippa irukka maaten.

Gauravam.. definitely one of his best performances.. portrayal of different characterisation..the mightiness of the character, the egositic approach all done very well.. almost each and every scene is a evidence of his acting and his understanding of the character..
just take the scene where he says " enna. sakunam paarka aarambichitteno?" look at his facial expression there.. take the scene where he says " aaana intha case.......

Thevar Makan, Muthal Mariyaathai ellam his best and the rest comes after these.. agreed.. but that has got more to do with the filmmakers....

Thevar Magan/Muthal MariyAdhai - was a case of the makers benefitting from his talent. They couldn't have conceived their movie, otherwise. Note the word - conceived not produced. These are by no stretch of imagination his best as an actor. In MM, Barathiking even made him do the head-bob-up-and-down-laughing thing. The assumption that the younger audience - which one are talking about here? The one that showers paper confetti on screens as their mass hero is shown lower limb upwards deferentially? Isn't that the majority among "younger audience"? Or, presumably, the pinjilE pazhuththa Frabhu Rau category? Andha category dhaan namakku mEla veteranA irukkE? - will settle for subdued performances flies against conventional wisdom. If an youngster is going to give the time of day to old movies, wouldn't it be something larger than life? As hamid says.

Thevar Magan might not be one of his best efforts but it is preferred by the younger generation, IMO, due to many reasons - It was very different from all other movies of NT. It was a short role. I am not sure if Periya Thevar would have become such a memorable character had he been alive post-interval. His tragic end had the audience in tears.
Post-80(except few movies) all he got to play were wimpy dad, helpless father-in-law, wimpy/henpecked husband and some very ordinary supporting roles like in Pudhiya Vanam, Veera Pandian, Muthukkal Moondru. The stylish actor who he once was had become a mere side-kick to much lesser actors. In Thevar Magan, we got to watch the majestic NT again, which we never expected. The Thevar slang/natural dialogues too played a major role. And the other thing is the major success of the movie.
TM is among my top ten favourite movies of NT. But I rate his work in movies like Pudhiya Paravai, Paasa Malar***, Navarathiri, VPKB more than TM or MM.
***Paasa Malar: I havent watched the entire movie. Few weeks back, I saw few scenes when it was telecast on KTV. NT, as the stylish, arrogant and commanding boss and Gemini, his old buddy, now a factory employee fighting for his co-workers (munnaal Chandrashekar) meet each other inside NT's room. This one scene is enough to show what a performer he was.

Look, if your grouse is app's statement about Gowravam being the #1 of NT, the fine. It is the same as my grouse at people quoting annamalai as Rajini's best. (Grouse at the act, not at the people involved). That's fine. But I wouldn't single out a NT performance and call it his best. There are just too many.what constitutes a great film - I don't know that's a different discussion

It's about making the incredible feel credible.
In fact in Inception he goes out of the way to do that. Nolan is constantly answering questions that we haven't even thought of yet - which many people did not like.
I myself did not like exactly the slight lack of finesse with which it this came across in some parts, but I was hugely hugely appreciative of his persistent concern about credibility.

Thevar magan as Sivaji's best or "the performance to be remembered by" - this must be a joke.
That was one "light afternoon stroll in the park after a heavy meal" for Sivaji saab (adhenna yusuf saab dhaan saabaa?).
He didnt even have to go do a homework on how to appear as "thevar community elder".. He was that and kamal as shakti was kamal w.r.t Sivaji
in their real life relationship.. so more like a family picnic for Sivaji saar.
Gowravam is the man transforming himself to a upper class brahmin who has embraced "Ayn Rand" philosophically - a worshipper of success and
a stranger to failure - no character like this has been fashioned before this or after - if had been - they have been mostly caricatured as winning "villains".
To have pulled off this "walk on thin Ice" character and make it "likeable" and relatable to most of the "humility" loving "thamizzh" folks - this is a major movie achievment by any actor and Sivaji must have sweated under his wig to pull this one off..

If PeriathEvar is much much more than a mere channeling of his persona, as you are trying to suggest.
Do you don't get points for the mere fact that something u attempted was unique. appadi pArthA only Kamal has attempted the role of a Japanese martial artist suffering facial paralysis, adhukkAga?
Barrister Rajinikanth is sound and fury. Sikkalaar had the chance to show so many shades of emotions in A more convincing, engaging, interesting manner than the look-ma manner of barrister.

Kiravuso, he packed so much into that performance. That he made it look like a walk in the park is a testament to his phenomenal talent.
Author backed role, of course. So?
Let me leave this TM because it comes with a lot of baggage. I feel it is being undervalued severely precisely because at some level it is viewed along with the statement that it took a Kamal to showcase Sivaji.
I remember saradha mentioning here about how everyone talks about MM fish-eating scene when he had done that just as beautifully (if not more) in Uyarndha Manidhan.
I hear all of you on this.
Let me instead talk about the other TM - thillAna mOhanAmbAL.
Jai said Gemini could have played Sikkalaar with minimal transportation losses. I disagree. Jai, if anything it is me who should take offence for this claim. Barrister-ai defend paNRa aarvaththula yEdhO sollitteengannu, perundhanmaiyA vittuttEn
There were so many subtle shades in Sikkalaar that ONLY Sivaji could have brought out. But I see it is being underappreciated precisely because it is NOT a performance that cries for attention - which I allege are the ones 'easier' to appreciate.
The challenge scene, the silent louss in the train, the "paNam enna maharaja paNam, manushanukku maanam" scene with Nambiar, the kalaichcherukku in general - his dismissal of Vaithy (periya manushannA mariyAdhai kudukkalaam, unakkellAm edhukkuyyA mariyAdhai - such nonchalance), the speech at ThiruvArur ('are you kidding me' level excellence that is), the following scene where he is unable to lift his arm, the way he treats others ('adhula enna dA irukka pOvudhu' left handed dismissal of AVM Rajan who urges him to read the contract), kuRai illAdha manushan yEdhu jillu (he doesn't say that with sagely humility but in a dry distant manner), his momentary change in expression/voice when NagaiAh asks him 'MohanA koodavA pOtti pOda pORE?'.
All this could seem like a 'walk in the park' precisely because he makes it seem so. Performance where the character has seeped into him so deeply.
Without understating the talent needed to execute a hyperdramatic performance well, I will insist that it is much more demanding to be able to clearly clearly communicate a character where one is restricted by measured manner the aesthetic of the film demands. It's like fencing with one hand tied to the back. And Sivaji nailed it with a level of ease that is just jaw-dropping.
Now I think perhaps to make people amazed that this is an actor playing a character and not Sivaji being himself (as Jai kinda insinuated) he could have thrown in an accent or a behavioral quirk or something!

Hey look, you are not the propreitor for appreciating TMohan. Adhu epdi Sivaji die hards who argue for Gowravam will not appreciate TMohan as much-nu mudivu paNdringa. Don't count App. He is not a NT fan. Avaru IR veRiyaru. IR illaina tamizh cinema mElayE interest vandhurukkAdhu avarukku. Only he said Gowravam as #1. Other NT fans are merely saying that sledgehammering/lookma as it is, a Gowravam could only have been done to this effect by only him. Andha categorylazE adhu dhaan osaththi. That's all yuvar aanar. That said, watch out for the moment in Thangappa dhakkam when he says "en maganai pirinju ennala oru naal kooda irukka mudizaadhu" to Srikanth who is proposing thani kuduthanam. How do you think he'd have delivered that knowing what you know about what he did in that movie?

IIRC, Mohana & Mariyadhai were among my "all-time-top-10-TF" list and I've even written a para or so about each of them (in an old thread in this section).
So, I'm in the Thil M / MM support ghOshti and I rate NT's performance in those as fantastic!
OTOH, gauravam as a movie won't make it to any top league in my book. Well, apart from the "contrast" factor & that way contributing to the amazement, Kannan char is not even a big favourite with me. Like some said here, many others could have done it.
I won't say that "many others" thingy about Thil M / MM, nevaire...may be KH / RK / M & M possible there...but Barrister? Very difficult for even those 4 ! (RK might come closest but then he had been imitating Barrister quite a lot anyways, IMHO)...
(The "nAttAmai" role doesn't come anywhere close to any of these that we're talking about - that's Sarathkumar / Vijayakumar levels in my book)

Not bad for that kinda film. Looks like Senior spent lots of money on this one, too bad (I had to really peer into the screen to figure out if the helicopter is CGI, it's not). VV's comedy so and so.

Vettai: Mostly blade (watched it just for Maddy & Lingu). Lingu is one of the masala film makers whom I've quite some respeet for... It started off reasonably well (knowing what to expect) but from sehond half everything went downhill... Bad comeback vehicle for Maddy...
Nanban: A lazy remake from Sangar and easily Sangar's worst movie till date... The real 3 Idiots in Tamil version are (Harris Seyaraas, Vijay & Sangar) in that order... Vijay was largely listless during the first half and combletely missed the spirit of the character... To Vijay's credit, he was got better in the second half (especially during those "senti" scenes)... Sathyaraj, Sathyan were good in parts but a let down overall. Especially Sathyaraj appeared to be confused about the "tone" of his charatcter (could be more of Sangar's fault than his)... Illeana is a complete miscast... Barring Sirihaandh & Seeva none of the characters make an impression...

More pointers - Ambi Chechi is a PP. Her father Major is a renowned barrister and SivaGumar is an assistant to Major who woos Ambiga assuming easy career growth as s-i-l of Major. But he becomes AK Hangal at home to Ambiga and above dialogue comes out of that frustration at dummy piece status.

Rekha was awesome in the first (there's a scene where she exchanges dialog with Vinod Khanna - terrific)
AB was just tolerable in the second (one great song, kabhi kabhi, all others big bore).
Otherwise, sodhappal movies...who has brought this Rakhkhi to film field?

I recently saw Mounaguru and was thoroughly impressed with the film. Yes, it was a near-remake of Fargo, but the black comedy theme was done away with and the twists were interesting. I specifically liked John Vijay for coming up with an unexpectedly good performance. Arulnithi is definitely not bad. Uma Riyaz, the seasoned actress, seems to have stolen the show, but for people who have seen Fargo, her character is expected to have a good performance anyway, so it was nothing surprising that she came up with a good performance in limited screen time.

Never got around to see it in full. Decided not to back then when folks started backing away when they found out the film cannot match the epic outing by ARR. But man, I want to revisit this in full for two reason (other than ARR), Manivannan and Vadiveloo....what fine performances, especially Mani....wow...his finest, I think.

VITHAGAN - WITH A GUN
- highly unimpressive
- 2nd half mildly watchable
- Parthiban should decently retire from behind the screen works...
- he has some ideas but the problem is his presentation.. he tries to present every scene different from the normal.. in the end he fails in making a interesting film
- he should start doing normal character roles / cameos... he should remind himself that he is not youth anymore & there are no fan clubs to follow him.. & he should not get cheated by the "likes" he gets for his Facebook status messages
- his only option remaining as a director is "ulle veliye part-II".. anyway he won't do that

VENGAI
- typical Hari masala mix.. similar to vel, ayya, thamirabarani.. its more of ayya.. father - son story
- unintentional fun in most part..
- me & my friend were LOL for Rajkiran's acting.. saying that "evano Rajkiran kitta avan than sivajikku aduthu nalla nadigannu sollirukkan.. indha performance kaatran" ... nallathan irundhadhu.. but when u see with someone.. u will even for sentiment scenes
- hari consistently using prakashraj.. now its 3rd film with hari - ayya, singam, vengai
- prakashraj... same kind of performance that we have seen a no. of times from him... but, at present he is the one suitable for these roles...
- dhanush & tamanna... not bad
- hari's detailing of nearby areas in every film is a bit too much..
- this happens in trichy & sivagangai.. ennennamo area per ellam solluvanga

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowthiram
"Rowthiram has a run-of-the-mill story. What makes the film different is it being in the hands of a director who is willing to consider stepping outside the box once in a while if not completely abandoning it
The problem with most Tamil debutant directors trying to ape trend-setters like Mani Ratnam, Sasikumar, Gautam Menon, etc. is that they faithfully imitate the production values, but end up messing up the characterisations and storyline. And when the end product is also supposed to be an old-fashioned masala in a new tetra-pack, even the fact that the hero is someone who can actually act, can't save it. This is pretty much the problem that afflicts Super Good Films' Rowthiram(Fury), written and directed by Gokul.
You understand Gokul's urge to conceive things differently even within the commercial format. But little can be achieved when the narration lacks fizz. And there lies the problem.

- my first 3D experience.. very nice.. it was like I'm one among those in water.. so near..
- picture clarity is slightly dull compared to the original one
- i checked watching few scenes without 3D glass.. the objects in the background are blurred for the 3D effect
- amazing picturisation.. even after 15 years, its awesome
- few months back i saw this in some movie channel i liked a lot (previously i have seen a couple of times & once in sun tv, tamil dubbed).. when there was news about this 3D release.. i thought i should see this in big screen.. today i did..

The Hunger Games:
Haven't read the book (not a avid fictional book reader) hence don't know how the movie compares to the book. But the movie (in isoloation) is pretty ordinary for the most part after a promising start. The lead girl - Jennifer Lawrence - was pretty good and carried her role well. Pretty much that's about it. Killings of kids in early teens were pretty hard to take expecially when it making for nothing (I mean a thrilling finale)
Also, the last 15-20 nimutes were hilarious (unintendedly). Was expecting at least a slight twist whch didn't happen either. Suprised that this movie had grossed a lot at the box-office.
Kadhal Kottai:
Never seen this movie before. It's one of those "acclaimed" movies of the 90's, I suppose. So decided to check it out. Padam "soora mokkai" for the most part. Took 3 installements (with fast forward mode) to just see how it ends. Too many characters and most of them are worthless or doesn't contribute anything to the crux of the story (if there is one). The movie could have easily 1 hour short. Ajith was OK with his acting but Devayani's acting was pathetic for the most part (especially the first telephone scene with Ajith). Have seen "Aasai" before. This one makes "Aaasi" look much, much better.

Movie cop, in general, some directors are just content with the central theme (or if they manage to sign a famous star / combo) which they feel is a WOW factor that will more than guarantee the film's success and sleep walk while weaving other parts to stitch up a film......... Kathal Kottai, Ratchagan, Love Today, to some extent Ezhaam Arivu, etc.,, many of Sundar.C's films after ullathai alli thaa........ they either struggle or feel complacent to put in the hardwork required to develop the central theme that they have taken up........films like Kaadhal mannan, BEB, ullathai alli thaa etc., are on the other side of the spectrum, with little or no story but with very good screenplay (or perfect concoction of the available resources) directors have come up with entertaining films...

Ragalai - Re use no use...
Another movie that has some similarities with Maaveeran (the bond between hero and heroine from past). They are stuck in a circle in Tollywood.
Same kind of stories, same hero build up, sexy heroins who earns easy money just by showing a little more skin than Kollywood. Same type of character artists, comedians, goons...
Tollywood made good movies like Malliswari, Santhosh Subramaniam, Magadheera, but how will the industry survive if no one is trying to renew the field?

Mahen told me its a nice rom-com
ok movie - good time pass... but you know what will happen after watching first 10 mins. 3 girls in college - 1 girl falls in love with kartik within a week. heroine warns about men and gets verbal abuse from kartik. shortly the couple split. 6 months later 2nd girl falls in love with kartik. heroine malar agains warnd friend who ignores. again kartik calls malar and abuses her. predicatably the couple break up
2 years later.... you can guess what will happen next
all new cast except santhanam
a little logic problem, but otherwise ok movie

yEzhaam aRivu - mostly ridiculous and partly terrible. Tiring to even list the things that didn't work. The film never ever raises about the script. I never got a sense that a *story* is being told. Super-O superficial. Silly way of narrating - I had visions of nAn vENaam vENaamgREn, ARM giving me spoonfuls after spoonfuls. The last ten minutes of ARM pulling your collar and asking thamizhanA da nee - *browser close immediat*.
Surya is largely a dummy piece and another annoying performance - give a script as hollow as this one and ask Surya to perform - you would see how bad he is. (Not that he is superb the other way, at least watchable or you have the space to ignore him). ARM needs a reality check, hoping the BO performance would have been sufficient. I feel so sorry for Harris, he keeps proving how bad he is but these Tamil film directors will not leave him alone.
Only good thing in the film is Sruthi. She is extremely convincing. She will grow into a good actress. But I guess already rAsi illAdha nadigai aaytAnga.

Leelai - good timepass movie
A movie starring Sonu Sood (Osthi Villan) Rachana Mourya(Naan Avan Illai II)... sorry sorry Shiv Pandit and Mansi Parekh
Though the lovestory is very preditable, the screenplay and performances made it watchable. Andru Louis made a great debute.
Santhanam as sual in his ace, one liners rib tickeling. But the joke abt transgenders was a bit too much.
Song were really good and suit the mood of the movie. well done Satheesh Chakravarthy

5. Some unexpected twists விவேக் சொல்லுற மாதிரி அங்கயாட ட்விஸ்டு
6. Few dialogues on NTR's family background and a lot AGAINST Chiranjeevi and his family
7. dialogues on NTR's political entry

Nagma super figure thaan.i like her.but Jothikana vanthutta rest rejected...she has unique style,browny hair(unusual for southern heroine),cute,chubby,gorgeous..Sona,Mugavari,dumdu mdum ellaam arumai
Jyothika thread illaina sollunga naan start panidaraen..still no one can repace her
//infact it was first jothika which got hooked me on to Vaali and Mugavari,then Ajith kumar become my favourite..best ever onscreen pair ever for thala

Baasha on KTV..
Well a mixed bag.. The mumbai portions were alternating between mediocrity to supreme brilliance..
Brilliance - the spree Manikkam goes on after Anwar is killed - Rajini sir - where is this intensity now - violence or not - this is the rajini we called "fire brand".
Incidentally manikkam finds anwar's killers in "Fair Deal " hotel - and delivers his fair deal - wow.. was it a thought out or a coincidence - either way it was good.
Raghuvaran - Rajini - combo is simply amazing and takes the hero-villain tension required to a totally unachievable level by any other hero-villain pair.
Raghuvaran's eyes - rarely does an actor gets born with such brilliant eyes..
Mediocre part - well "Maine maara" - when you have an awesome reference scene in Nayagan - how can you mess up like that - particularly I was laughing when janagaraj and his gumbal form the inner circle around rajini chanting "maine maara" - well suressh krishna - "tu ne maar diya" (meaning - you killed it).

3 proofs that Shankar appreciates Hirani:
1. Ditto remake of 3I
2. Adopting the 'delivery' scene in enthiran
3. Adopting the 'kuNdali' thingy in sivAji (ditto dialog from LRMB in Sivaji : 'unnaiya kalyANam paNNalainnA manasodinju seththuruvEn')

Besides, Gandhiji was just a kuRIyEEdu in LRM. Hirani pAttukku thannOda MA flaasafay ellAM kalandhu katti Gandhigiri apdinnu orE pOdu pOttuttAr. Did you find a nuanced, deep study of Gandhism in that movie?

Instead of all the time analyzing extremism / guNdu / aruvA based on that aRa uNarchchi, why not indulge in aRa uNarchchi via some koyandhaththanamAna comedy
IMO, it would have been a big commercial success as well (going by the commerical success of vasool rAjA & naNban)...

If he is totally not into remake, then this discussion won't arise My question is more like, if vasool & buthan kizhamai are ok why not gAndhiji?
-
From: Plum on 9th May 2012 09:53 PM [Full View]
app, let's not confuse issues
1) why not remake
2) why nto remake a great film which distills gandhism and gives a wonderful samooga poRuppuLLa, samoogathai thiruthuira take on Gandhism.
These are two different questions. The third question you ask is
3) Why not remake an entertaining(for you) movie when he already remade two movies that were engaging?
1) Why not remake - oh dhArALamA paNNAlAmE - provided he is excited by what he watches. No by our excitement when we watch a other language movie.
2) LRM is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT a study of Gandhism. It perhaps has nothing to do with Gandhi's philosophy or "teachings". It just used Gandhi's name to give a typical Hirani masala with a "vada indhiya Vikraman formula". This question does not even arise. aRa uNarchchi or not, this is perhaps not the way Kamal sees "samooga nallozhukkamn", "samooga seerthiruththam" or "samooga mEmbAdu". Infact, avarai ivLO varushamA pAkkaROm - his views on society are radical and way opposite in the spectrum to what LRM proposes. idhai paRRI namma geno kitta kEttA "north indies conspiracy"-lerundhu "historical oppression" varaikkin clearA explain paNNuvAr
3) See 1. He should feel it. Not us. And I dont know if VRMBBS was for the money as LV Prasad's production house(right?) bought the remake rights and just engaged him for money. I dont see any major creative input by him into that movie. If you think LRM is also of similar potential, you have to wait for a time when he needs huge money quickly without much mental effort or taxing creative effort. Let's hope such a contingency never arises.

But your wish should atleast be in the same ball park no? Adhuvum "indha maadhiri gandhism" ellaam remake paNNa mAttArAnnu kEttinga? I believe he'll laugh if you call Hiran's piece as a take on Gandhism. And to ask a man who gave a much more intelligent, layered, brilliant take on Gandhism, to advise him to remake a childish, Vikramanesque take (rather a dishonest representation) of "gandhigiri" is nothing but an insult.

App - the reason for remaking VRMBBS is not the same as the reason you wanted to remake LRM. Adhu thani idhu thani.VRMBBS - quick money remake. Actual quality of the movie doesn't matterWednesday - original in hindi is actually far away from Kamal's politics. Infact, politics was not the point of Wednesday - the director infact mentioned that he used the political views espoused in the movie as it neatly fitted into making the screenplay intriguing and impactful. I am perplexed why Kamal chose this one to remake - and then put a confusing take on his politics in the movie. This is a write-off from my pov. Anyway, I can agree with you that the climax speech is quite problematic if we have to examine the politics of it but quite impactful in the screenplay especially in the original.In short, just because these movies were remade, and in your opin, LRM is less childish, it doesn't qualify for a Kamal remake especially if you put it like "Gandhi karuthugalai sollum padaththai gandhi lover Kamal en remake panna koodaadhu". I say, if you are a Gandhi lover and understood his philo, you should feel aggrieved at the portrayal of Gandhi as some sort of agony aunt in the movie. But namma societyla "nalla karuththukka" soinnA adhai automaticA Gandhikku apply pannidiveengale without examining the actual politics and teaqching of Gandhui and whether this LRM actually represents that. That's why it got a Gandhi philosophy coating in public opinion. It is an insult to ask Kamal to remake the nonexistent Gandhian philosophy in LRM

Nanban
Movie is enhanced photocopy of 3 idiots nothing more than that and terrible movie with illogical ploys and caricatures which got further butchered by leads acting
Harris jayaraj has recycled some of his past garbages and delivered.
Vijay can't hold candle to amir khan(not that amir khan is great,but he was decent),mostly sleepwalks throughout the movie with his usual wooden expressions and bland acting
Vijay's lethargic dialogue delivery with amir khan's expressions looks unintentionally funnier than so called funny scenes in the movie-especially the machine scene and initial scene with sathyaraj.He copies every bit of amir khan's mannerisms and expressions even the way amir khan blinks his eyes.
Even sathyaraj blabbers the same way of Boman
Ileana look diseased and sathyan as crammer was good.Jiiva did justice to sharmman joshi role,Srikanth as usual gives hyperacting
Shankar - even remake raja can do this with good cinematographer,worst ever shankar movie till now

Just completed watching "Spirit Stallion Of The Cimarron" during my daily bus journey. Very nice film . Though its an animated/cartoon movie, it still engaged me right from the start to end by the medium of music. Hans Zimmer. All the 1 hour 15 mins I was so curious to know who took care of music. Wish opportunities like this should knock the door of Raja regardless of western or indian based script. All songs were instant hits. Need to check who renditioned the voice. Recommending to all hubbers and their kids. to the director who brought the horse's body language and its facial expressions like real.
