![]() Why guys? I think Bala has potential to make a good movie. Arya is a director's actor. He was good in AA and Pattiayal. When I heard that some Meenakshi was doing the heroine role, i was like ![]() Ramesh, Even for Billa trailer, 2 people came and voted for bad. How can I include the third option of NK. ![]() |

Firstly, we never asked the thread starter to remove the "bad" option. We only deplored that people have voted bad for Billa's trailer even though it was excellent to tamil movie standards - a fact agreed upon by many. Secondly, We didn’t start voting for billa trailer before the trailer was released, we had a platform to decide on it because of the trailer. The case here is not the same. IMHO, trying to compare billa and NK is in itself atrocious. Past films matter very little; just because bala's past films were success it doesn't mean this film too will follow the suite. There are lots of indicators that this film may not be as good. First, the confusion surrounding the lead & the frequent exit of heroines and the delay it caused may hint to some that the film may be bad. I don’t know how well the film has come out after all this confusion and delay. If not for anything, every one has freedom of expression, even if the film is exceptionally good, one may have the view that it was bad. Trying to stifle one's voice by not giving him the option is not right. More over for an Ajit fan, we will at least believe & hope that the movie is bad for all he did to Ajit, is unacceptable. I agree it’s not logical, but we never claimed we are always logical. We have our freedom to believe so, just as few people have freedom to believe Billa’s trailer was bad [mind you they may have valid reasons to believe so]. If the film really comes out well then that’s a different story. We will have to take the blame for not accepting it as good film [that happens if we still stick to our stand & the film is good] & bad mouthing the film before its release. But we are more than ready to do so. |

Ramesh, I am not comparing Billa with NK, don't mistaken me. What I said was even for such a good trailer of Billa, people voted for bad options.

Thought would stay away from this argument...but what the heck..
As thala said in his recent interview: Saying that he(thala) gave break to new directors like saran sj suryah, ar murugadoss ... isn't fair.. They mutually grew with help of each other. This analogy can be applied to vikram and bala as well. Both were in the same pedestal when they did sethu. Sethu script was rejected by some top heroes and financiers and it finally went to the cast and crew who finally did the movie. But for vikram's performance in the movie. The movie would have easily gone with the wind . A script needs an actor and an actor needed an script. Saying one gave break to the other is not acceptable. ![]()

I disagree your honor! ![]() Bala was in no pedestal ,but vikram has been trying for a long time ..Even Vikaraman couldn't make him any better ..Vikaram was in a position same as actor Srikanth is now (Infact sreekanth got many offers) until Ullasam ..But Bala changed his status entirely with one movie and Vikaram has become one of the superstars. Same way ,until Nandha ,Surya was just a 'Saambar' and with Bala's one movie ,he was taken seriously by audience and directors. Btw ,My comment was particularly for Pras ,without Bala he may not be a fan of Vikram. Apart from that I know why you guys hate Bala ![]() |

"Chiyaan" Vikram will answer what Sethu meant to Vikram..
Anyway, I refuse to buy this claim that Bala broke conventions. He just picked darker themes, and narratives closer to him, and he presents it well. I actually find his casting change amusing. Why Arya for Ajith? Arya is probably the disastrous of all! What a stupid bit of casting! In any case, I think Bala knows how to extract the performance out of his actors (In some cases, it's just plain horrenduous, Nanda's mother for example, or less refined acting as with Pithamagan's Chithan - then again, they are justified by the [b]liberties a filmmaker has with his characterization)[/b] |

ok, my statement doesent mean, Surya and vikram solely live on nandha and sethu, respectivelty.....they have excelled/consolidated after nandha/sethu..........nandha/sethu are just breaks..........yes, there was a mutual help in vikram-bala-sethu case, but more from Bala side.......a great director like sridhar couldnt do wat bala did to vikram.......understand that......

Quote: |
Moreover, there's a detachment that cuts across classes. That's why the twists in Nanda/Pithamagan would appear worse than Sethu, the latter is essentially bourgeoisie, and to my mind, it's the only Bala film which had a "twist" after "twist" (in a more manipulative & cinematic way), the other two films were about underclas in unique situations/positions, the narrative doesn't take the audience for a cheap ride/thrill - this is precisely where Bala handles with care. |
Quote: |
Sometimes a very foreseeable cruelty of life is given a stepmotherly treatment by our fellow hubbers - that the writer(who sketched them in the first place) is blamed to be manipulative regardless of how he has crafted it. |
Quote: |
And, I would never know why Kaadhal escapes(I like the film myself), one could make it sound worse. Perhaps because it's a more relatable Intercast love story, with all desirable/easier tropes of manipulation! Should a film always have flimsiness of the likes of Gautam menon? Or shoddy in pretense of grandeur like Shankar? Or, the irregularity and naivety in Selva raghavan's? Or, trying to ape reality, and boring them like Thankar bachchan?

Personally, I like Bala's darker themes as much as Mani Ratnam's optimism! But comparing to crass like Perarasu, and um, mentioning him with the likes of Ameer, Gautam menon, VV, etc is too much...three much ![]() |
Quote: |
And, none of the Bala films has contrived the audience, as much as Paruthiveeran, or even Kalloori in recent times - the "twists" were manipulative and uncalled for - the film themselves weren't rewarding in any case.

AFAIK, The only GM films that was FLIMSY a lot was Minnalae. Yet, it was enjoyable for the entertainment. Other movies from him also belong to semi- bala case. He draws a line in the right place. Coming to Selva and Bala, what kind of diff it makes b/w a character like Kokki kumar (in the second half of PP) and Sithan in Pithamagan. Both are same. But kokki kumar in the first half.. His role wasn't completely irregular or imaginary character like sithan. |

First, I wasn't talking of songs, comedy, tracks etc. It was with respect to "twists" that CR had hinted in an earlier post. To me, "Sethu" had more of the twists that came out of nowhere, thus it's more cinematic and manipulative than the other two films, |

I don't see the need to defend the "repugnance" when a Siththan is shown in a bad plight (but the director doesn't make a meal of his condition), Nanda's mother and her indifference to her son is again repugnant. |

even I did. But it's not simply because Siththan is imaginary, that it should be ruled out. Siththan is a man-animal, and it stays that way, not confusing around like KK's, sometimes you get the feeling that Kokki has a MPD |
Quote: |
They are two different statements. I made the first one, and I did say Bala is creative with his characterizations than merely aping realism - True I did. But I didn't say one shouldn't find reasons, etcetra about the characters, and their situations. |

I haven't seen the elite crowd defending Pithamagan, Nevaire. Anyway, I was hitting sarcastically at our hypocrisy in accepting violence factor in western films, and not our own. Same with nudity, kissing, etc. |
Quote: |
By any chance, you refer the way Bala "starts" with a manipulation, like say, Siththan's character? |

Is it the reason for Sithan (A man like animal) dancing along with Simran while reacting sharply to laila. Sangeetha too likes Surya. if we can accept a man-animal sithan sharp reaction to laila - surya relationship, I am not sure why he shouldn't do it for Karunas, Manobala etc |

Again, reaction from Nandha's mother for several sequences. They were totally confusing and the flaw with bala's characterisation (atleast for me) is the total confusion that surrounds his characters. They are neither complete nor empty. I really don't know whether a mother like her will remain like that in all the situations. ![]() |
Quote: |
As I said, Kokki's character evolves over time. I didn't like dhanush in that role .. esp the second half. That doesn't mean the character wasn't complete. It is all about "Survivial of the fittest". Something that you find with people living in slums and those who go against the rich or the society, by living their own way of life. -u-cking prostitutes and living with them. Taking away friend's sister who is already engaged. This is atleast something that we can relate to and understand the reasons behind the transformation. But character like sithan and nanda's mother. They are neither complete in their behavior nor clear. It is just that the creator takes the liberty of artificial characters in his movies and just makes everyone believe the same. Not sure whether the larger than life image erected out of heroes in mass movies are lesser than these roles ![]() |

Narration alone is not a movie. If that is the case BagyaRaj is a way better director than Bala (I think you don't like BagyaRaj). |
Quote: |

Yes. I refer to this only. Be it Nandha's mother or Sithan. He starts this and he wants the things to be like that. Can't he create normal characters and portray them well like he did in Sethu ? Ain't this a manipulation. Again, comparing this to SJS (NEW), what is the difference ? |

wrt Paruthi Veeran, I would say that there is a director's POV. Long have our directors changed the ending of their films and content to suit every om dick and harry's POV (Tom - producer, Dick - distributor and Harry - Theatre exhibitor). Bala and Ameer, their film making styles are so diverse, yet bring some of their thoughts and feelings to the table. It is the kind of energy and conviction that we were used to in KB and Bharathiraaja (something that Bhagyaraaj never had and will never have). Thats something we have not seen on the filmi scene since Hey Ram. Here is my POV , take it kinda attitude. PV climax makes sense to me if we bear in mind that his life is always doomed as he has made to many enemies and bad friends in a short span, while their enemies might pose a threat to his life, ameer wanted to show that bad company is sure to rob you of your honour no matter how little you are left with. Is he being too judgemental? well yes, why not? It is his thought and he is entitled to that. I am not claiming that PV was the best work, but definitely far better than the run of the mill crap done by leading heroes and start directors. Bala by the same token makes his movies, even the stoutest of his critics cannot deny the ability he has and his craft and skill. He makes 'his' movies and anyone looking at them from the prism of "movies" alone would be able to easily appreciate how he creates characters and settings that enrich the medium. I have never felt the "tightness" with which he covers a character and presents in an arresting fashion. Sure he could make comedy movies or "action" movies, but I would prefer he continues to make "Bala" movies as there are very few people who make the movies they want to make, in the manner they want to. |

I concur with Thilak about Sethu. I've always thought of it to be a very noticeably manipulative film. Bala sandwiches two different films in the two halves as one. In fact, 7/G Rainbow very much reminded me of Sethu as it drew close to its end. It is thanks to Bala's narrative finesse and sensitivity towards the characters that it doesn't stick out as badly as it should have. Also, the angles of mysticism, foreboding of what's in store in the latter half of the story early on in (the Maheshwari character playing the mad woman at the other end of spectrum, for example) et al. add much to the film.
Well, what's really contrived in Nandhaa? Nandhaa is very underrated, I think it's quite superb, actually. The tragedy of a patricide (truly dealing with an Oedipal situation without just throwing the word around) brought out poignantly. That Maheshwari (the mother) doesn't pay heed to all her son's attempts to reconcile is often pointed out (I'd never understand what "I didn't like that character" would mean when offered as a criticism on the film!) as a flaw, but I think it's handled so well. Now, the mother in that film can't be in usual mother-son terms with her son, can she? Her son killed his own father, her husband. Much worse as she might think he is, his being there did mean quite a lot to her and kept her status quo in a good shape. And, here comes his son -- more importantly, her son -- who finishes his story, her story too to an extent, and asks for his mother's hand. What Nandhaa doesn't find in his mother, he finds in Periyavar, who becomes his surrogate father of sorts. What the film indeed miss in comparison to Bala's other two films was the magic of Raaja. Yuvan did a great job, of course, but it's not hard to see how his score pales in comparison to what Raaja does -- usually, even -- in his scores, and particularly in Sethu and Pithamagan. Regarding Pithamagan, I'd say the story of the ganja landlord and Siththan (and hence Sakthi) is more of a MacGuffin to explore the central theme of the film. It's simplistically handled alright -- we know by interval that the villain has his eye on Sakthi, but the payoff (for taking the MacGuffin, that is) is superb to say the least. Again, what really are the twists that Bala contrives in the film? Surya's death is central for the film. It sets up the culmination of the film. That kept aside, are there any contrivances forced in to further the film's theme or abruptly accentuate the viewer's feelings about the film (like in, say, Paruththiveeran, that being the non-Bala film that's often referred to in this discussion)? |

In fact i welcome such scenes (just that one should never go to such films with parents) to break Tamil cinema from the shackles of prudishness and celebrated/tolerated vulgarity |

Arya is the best fit for this character, I can sense that from the stills. I was so happy after seeing those stills and I can't imagine Ajith in those costumes and postures. I was so glad that Bala and Ajith had a rift, atleast it is good for the movie. I care more about the movie than the personal problems of any artists. I am sure it will win at the BO. But if it fails as you say, even if Ajith would have played the lead role, it will fail. I don't think Ajith can save a Bala movie. I am confident that Bala doesn't need a star to showcase his script, he needs good actors, even unpopular ones are good for him. |

My point is it doesn't matter who acts in it (Ajith/Arya), if it fails, it is because of Bala, if it truimphs, it is also because of him. I don't think any actor will make any difference. With Arya in the lead, it has more chances of being a hit. People will come to theatres with no pre-defined notions and will accept it. But placing a star actor in a serious movie is always a bad idea, Bala escaped it luckily. |

Joe's argument is it is wrong to come down on a work of an art because you disagree the artist lacks moral fibre - so to speak. That is a poor basis to judge the work. That is what Joe has been saying. It is not a 'perception' that he is unfairly demanding but a fair basis of judgement. But then I don't agree with Joe completely as Selva has made arguments about why exactly he didn't like Bala's earlier works and has been crying hoarse that he did diss even Ameer's film -even though Ameer supported Ajith. |

[Digression]
Maddy, No, it won't; because it's the company's prerogative to do whatever it feels like doing for its own interests. And, I don't think I spoke about any of the Ajith fans of not being "professional" (honestly, I don't even get what it means for a fan to be "professional"), for taking things "personally" or anything remotely close. In general, I intend to discuss films here with different people, not about the purported biases of fans of different filmmakers/actors. That sort of discussion bores me; watching 'Rashomon' one more time would do a lot of good for me instead. Of course, I don't care a hoot about Bala the person, leave aside his professional ethics. Much as we tend to assume everyday how "good" various celebrities/artists we know/like are, the truth is that we hardly know about them. I don't intend to affiliate myself in any way to the personal lives of the various artists whose works I've come to like. Roman Polanski was charged guilty of raping a minor, but he also made 'The Pianist.' Such is life, I think. And, I think I'd stick to my position that these sort of stuff don't matter to me. |

Same way ,In cinema also ,there are 3 parties 1. Cinema artits 2. Cinema industry 3. Cinema fan In bala's case ,if Bala commited some mistakes in his profession ,it is industry problem and they should have concern about it ,not the cinema rasigan ..For cinema rasigan ,we have to rate only the outcome. |

Even good movies of the past years are presented from a POV that is conventional. Bala's style of taking a paradoxical view and accentuating it with a vice like grip on narration is missing in other promising directors. Somehow he creates scenes, characters that show reality in an accentuated manner without being too loud and verbose. I hope he has addressed his internal questions in this movie. Also looking forward to Arya's work and Raaja's Break Ground Music. |
