THE SUMMER box-office results in Tamil are out and the clear winner by a mile is "Ghilli", a blockbuster. According to trade sources, it is likely to get a distributor's share of over Rs. 20 crores! The last film to cross this magic figure was Rajnikanth's "Padayappa" in 1999.(Saamy was released in 2003 I believe

�Puthupettai` ramblings!

By Moviebuzz | Friday, 02 June , 2006, 10:36

Selvaraghavan�s Puthupettai has netted an amazing Rs 51 Lakhs from five Chennai screens in its first week (May 26-June 1) with a distributors share close to Rs 32 Lakhs! It is indeed an impressive collection for a film with no big stars, proving the fact that the film took a great opening on �Brand Selvaraghavan�.
Says Tiruppur Subramaniam, Coimbatore distributor of the film: �Thanks to the good opening, the film may break-even for distributors and at least some of the theatres may recover the huge MG�s they paid�. However all distributors beg to differ and say that collections started dropping after the fantastic opening in cities and in Band C stations, it is limping.

Selvaraghavan�s 7-G Rainbow Colony released with 92 prints while Puthupettai had a 162 print release in Tamilnadu. In small towns like Salem where a big film releases in two screens, Puthupettai opened in four screens with a combined capacity of 3400 and by Sunday, the film fell. In a way, extra capacity worked against the film.

At the same time in Chennai city the five screens capacity was close to 4600 per show. In Sathyam, in the first w eek it collected an unbelievable net of Rs 21 Lakhs at 92 percent while at Sangam the weekly net was around Rs 13.5 Lakhs. Here again the first week collections are impressive but now it all depends on better publicity for the film to work in its second week.

Sevaraghavan told Moviebuzz: �You have trashed my film in Sify.com, but I respect your viewpoint. But my film is not a losing proposition for anyone concerned. I agree the same about Dhoolpet (the Telugu version) as people could not identify with the characters. But Puthupettai took the best ever opening for Tamil film in recent times to quote Sify.com�s CBO (May 26-28), the authentic box-office barometer�. Selva also says that he has trimmed the film by 15 minutes to make it more racy.

Selva feels that the script of Puthupettai was path breaking, something never seen before. It was broken episodes put together like JFK, which probably our audience found hard to digest. They were critical about the climax though Selva says that he did not want his protagonist to die.

Says Selva: �I could have easily killed �Kokki� Kumar but in real life such criminals go scot-free and in many states, we have so many MLA�s with criminal records and history sheeters who later become powerful politicians. My film is a slice of life where only the fittest will survive� ! Selva agrees that Oru Naalil�. was the best song in the album which is popular but unfortunately he did not get time to shoot the song!

Finally Selva confesses: �I made the film to save my brother�s career�. Now Selva will be taking a break and probably in October, he plans to marry Sonia Agarwal.

The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

Rajni watches `Puthupettai`!
By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 04 June , 2006, 18:01
On Saturday evening superstar Rajnikanth watched a special screening of Selvaraghavan�s Puthupettai at the Four Frames Preview theatre in Chennai.

Rajni who was away in Spain shooting for Sivaji was back in Chennai on Friday night. Lata Rajnikanth, Dhanush, Aishwarya, Soundarya saw the film for the second time with Rajni. The only guest who came for the show was director Balu Mahendra who told Selva that he was so touched by the film.

AXN Action Awards After watching the film, Rajni told Dhanush: �I am proud of you�. He also told Selvaraghavan that he is the best film maker in Tamil at the moment. About the film he said that �it�s too realistic for the common man. It will take time for them but I�m sure that it will be a hit�.

I agree with Justice.

IMO, Selva still has a fine place in my list of favorite directors. I like all his previous movies. IN PP, he had gone a bit overboard.

With that alone, We cannot attach the tag "BEST FILM MAKER"
Even selva himself won't accept this.

It is good to see him getting some compliments for the hardwork that he had done for PP. It would be better if he choose someone's who can really match the role of his movies rather than sticking to his brother alone.

PP is in it's second wee. and the publicity is being good of late especially with the trimming of second half.. May be Unicorn can throw some light on the actual running time of the movie.

Its probably the best song in the album. There's 2 version of oru nallil 1 is slow and the other 1 is fast, nice tune by ysr. It would have been much better if they added the song, coz it would have suited dhanush well.

Rajini's pat for Dhanush
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 06, 2006]

Rajinikanth, who flew down to Chennai from Spain after shooting a song sequence for Sivaji, took time off to see Pudhupettai which stars his son-in-law Dhanush in the lead role.

Rajinikanth, his wife Latha Rajinikanth, his daughters Soundarya and Aishwarya saw Pudhupettai at a special screening arranged by director Selvaraghavan and Dhanush at Four Frames Preview theatres in Chennai.

Rajinikanth, who patiently watched the 176-minutes, was full of appreciation for Dhanush after the film. Describing his performance as matured and something deserves appreciation, Rajinikanth said that the movie would certainly make it big at the box office.

The actor was equally appreciative of Selvaraghavan's directorial skills.

I heard its a good movie. My friends told me that SNeha is acting as a Prostitute, which is choooooooo sad to hear. I dont think that we can watch it with parents.

A superb INSIGHT into PP
http://urpudathathu.blogspot.com/2005/12/101.html

நண்பர் ரவிசங்கர் "படிச்ச நாயே கிட்ட வராத" என்ற புதுப்பேட்டை பாடலுக்கு தன் கண்டனத்தையும் கருத்துக்களையும் தெரிவித்தார். இதில் ஒன்றும் பெரியதாக தவறு இருப்பதாக தெரியவில்லை. படித்தவர்கள் என்பதால் கொம்பாக முளைத்திருக்கிறது. வேண்டாம் கொம்பு என்றால் இங்கே சுஹாசினி போல வேறு வழக்குகளை சந்திக்கும் அவநிலைக்கு உள்ளாவேன் நாம் கூடதான் ரோட்டில் போகும்போது குறுக்கே வரும் நபர்களை "நாயே" என்று சொல்வதுண்டு. அதுப் போல தான் இதுவும். வன்முறையின் கிளர்ச்சியில் இருப்பவர்களுக்கு படித்தவர்கள் நாய்களாக தான் தெரிவார்கள். இளரத்தம். ஆயத பலம். வன்முறையின் மீதுள்ள காதல். அது அப்படிதான் வெளிப்படும்.

புதுப்பேட்டை சென்னையின் நிழலுக இடங்களை மையமாக கொண்டு எடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் படம். செல்வராகவன் - யுவன் - நா.முத்துக் குமார் பட்டையை கிளப்பியிருக்கிறார்கள். இது நான் நினைப்பதுப் போல எடுத்திருந்தால், எழுதி வைத்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள், இது ஒரு cult படமாகும் வாய்ப்புகளதிகம். தமிழ் சினிமாவில் நிழலுகம் பற்றிய படங்களும், விவரணைகளும் குறைவு. செல்வராகவன் மீது எனக்கிருக்கும் நம்பிக்கையில் எனக்குத் தெரிந்த நிழலுகம் பற்றிய ஒரு சின்ன ப்ரைமர். படம் வந்து பார்க்கும் போது உபயோகமாக இருக்கும். இது தாண்டி, இந்த பதிவினை எழுத தூண்டியது கமல் அட்டகாசமாக பாடியிருக்கும் "நெருப்பு வாயினில் ஒரமாய் எரியும்" என்கிற பாடல், நிழலுகம் பற்றிய அற்புதமான ஆவணம்.

நான் வாழ்ந்த இடம் கொண்டித்தோப்பு, வடசென்னை. தாதாகள், ரவுடிகள், வன்முறையின் மீதுள்ள கிளர்ச்சியும், கவர்ச்சியும் கொண்ட மனிதர்கள் என City of God இல் வரும் ரியோடி ஜெனிரோ குப்பம் போல இல்லையென்றாலும், மக்கள் திராவிட அரசியல் பேசிக் கொண்டு, லுங்கியினை மடித்துக் கட்டிக் கொண்டு, நாற்றமும், பூக்காரிகளின் அழைப்பும் (இன்னா, பூ வாங்கினு போயேன் கண்ணூ ) கெட்ட வார்த்தைகளின் சகிதம் (நிறைய பேருக்கு '...த்தா' இல்லாமல் பேச வராது) வாழ பழகிய இடம். உண்மையான ரியோ டி ஜெனிரோ காண, பேசின் பிரிட்ஜ் தாண்டி இடப்புறம் திரும்பி வியாசர்பாடி பாலத்தில் இறங்கி கொஞ்சமாய் பாலத்திற்கு முன்பே வலப்புறம் திரும்பி போனீர்களேயானால் மகாகவி பாரதி நகரின் (என்ன அருமையான பெயர்!) ஹவுஸிங் போர்ட்டினையொட்டி குடிசைகளும், சாக்கடைகளும் நிரம்பி இருக்கும். எனக்கு தெரிந்த அச்சு அசல் ரியோ அதுதான். தெரு நடுவில் சர்வசாதாரணமாக உயரமான ஸ்டூல்களில் கேரம் போர்டு ஆடிக் கொண்டிருப்பார்கள். தூக்கி மடித்துக் கட்டிய லுங்கியுடன் அவர்களின் விரல்கள் விளையாடும். எனக்கு தெரிந்த நிழலாளிகள் ஒரே ஷாட்டில் மூன்று காய்கள் வரை போடுமளவிற்கு திறன் வாய்ந்தவர்கள். கேரம் போர்டு தரையென்றால், காற்றாடி மிக முக்கியமான பொழுது போக்கு. காற்றாடி அறுந்து விழுந்தால், எதிராளி அறுத்தால் அரிவாள் வெட்டு வரை போவது எல்லாம் சகஜம். காற்றாடிக்காக இரண்டு குப்பங்கள் அடித்துக் கொள்வதெல்லாம், கடலோர சென்னை குப்பங்களில் மிக சகஜம். அடியென்றால், ஆட்களை கொல்வது வரை போகும். கடவுள் பக்தி அதிகம். எல்லா இடங்களிலும், அம்மன் கோவில்களோ, மேரி மாதா சிறுகோயில்களோ பார்க்க முடியும். 'டாஸ்மாக்குகள்' வருவதற்கு முன்பு சென்னையில் ஒயின் ஷாப்புகள் தான். மூன்று மானிட்டர் உள்ளே போனவுடன், பியர் சாப்பிட வந்திருக்கும் எங்களுக்கு அறிவுரை சொல்லும் நடுத்தர வயது தாதாக்கள் (" இன்னாடா, இந்த வயசுல தண்ணியா, போய் படிங்கடா, நாதாரிகளா") , "ரா"வாக அடிக்கிறேன் பேர்வழி என்று குடித்து ஆண்மையை நிருபிக்கும் இளம் (budding) நிழலாளிகள் ஒரு புறம், "மச்சான், சீதாக்காவோட புருசன் ஒடிட்டானேமே, மசியுமா மாமே" என வாழ்வியல் கவலைகளோடு சாமான்களை டேபிளில் பரப்பி வைத்து குடிக்கும் நிழலாளிகள் என்று கலவையாக வாழ்க்கை மறுவாசிப்பு செய்யப்படுவதை கண்ணார பார்த்திருக்கிறேன்.

ஸ்டான்லி மருத்துவமனையில் புறநோயாளிகள் பிரிவில் கல்லூரியில் படிக்கும் போது சேவை செய்து கொண்டிருந்தேன். இடக்கையினை வலக்கையில் தூக்கிக் கொண்டு ஒடிவந்த ஒருவன் "சிலிப்பாயிருச்சி. தவறி வூந்துட்டேன் சீட்டு கொடுரா" என்று கேட்டது இன்றும் நினைவிருக்கிறது. அது காற்றாடியால் வந்த சண்டையில் வாங்கிய வெட்டு. ஒரு கையினன வெட்டி விட்டார்கள். காத்தாடி, மாஞ்சா, பாட்லோடு, பிரியாணி, பீடி, கால்வாய், கேரம் போர்டு, டீ, கஞ்சா, டப்பா சோறு, தண்டல், சாராயம், வாந்தி, பீ நாற்றம், 'அத்து விடுதல்', தகராறு, கானா பாடல்கள், டாடா சுமோ என்று அவர்களின் உலகம் தனியுலகம். அவர்களின் அகராதியில் இருக்கும் சொற்கள் பொது வழக்கில் நீங்கள் கேள்விப்படாத சொற்களாக இருக்கும். ஐஸ் பிரியாணி என்றால் என்ன தெரியுமா? பழைய சோற்றில் கஞ்சி ஊற்றி வெங்காயமோ, ஊறுகாயோ வைத்து கொடுத்தால் அதுதான் ஐஸ் பிரியாணி. இதில் லேட்டஸ்டாக, செல்போன், ஏதேனும் ஒரு ஜாதி கட்சியின் / நட்சத்திர கும்பலின் செயலாளர் பதவி (தலித் / யாதவ / அம்பேத்கார் இளைஞர் பேரணி / பரமசிவன் அஜீத் ரசிகர் மன்றம் / சீயான் விக்ரம் ], கொஞ்சம் ரத்ததானம், முப்பத்து ஏழாவது பிறந்தநாளுகான சுவரொட்டி [கொள்கை வேந்தர், ஏழைகளின் ஏர்முனை, தொழிலாளிகளின் தோழன் ] போன்றவற்றினை சேர்த்துக் கொள்ளலாம். ஆனால் அவர்கள் போல் நண்பர்களுக்கு உதவும் ஆட்கள் இருக்க மாட்டார்கள் என்று சொன்னால் அது கிளிஷேவாகிவிடும். ஆனால் உண்மை. ஒரு குழந்தைக்கு ரத்தம் தேவை என்று சொன்னபோது ஒரு பெரும்தலைவரின் பிறந்தநாள் அதுவுமாய் குடிக்காமல் இருந்து, மறுநாள் வரை காத்திருந்து 7 பேர்கள் ரத்தம் கொடுத்து, பின் குடிக்க போனது தனிக்கதை. பார்க்க முரடாய் இருக்கும் நபர்கள், அருகில் நெருங்கி பார்த்தால் உள்ளே அமைதியை விரும்பும் நபர்கள். இன்றும் எம்.ஜி.ஆரினை நினைவு வைத்துக் கொண்டு, பிறந்த நாள், இறந்த நாள், ரிக்சா வழங்கிய நாள் என்று ஒவ்வொன்றையும் கொண்டாடுபவர்கள் அவர்கள் தான். இன்னமும் நிறைய இடங்களில் 'டெல்லி செட்' டேப் ரிகார்ட்டர்களில், டி.எம்.எஸினையும், சிதம்பரம் ஜெயராமனையும் அங்கே தான் கேட்க முடியும். எப்.எம்களில் அல்ல. வெற்றிலை பாக்கு கூட போடாமல் இருக்கும் நிழல் நபர்களை எனக்கு தெரியும். அவர்களை பேருந்திலோ, வேறு நிகழ்விலோ பார்த்தால் அவர்கள் நிழல் நபர்கள் என்று சொல்ல தோன்றாது.

உண்மையில் ஒரு ரவுடியாக இருப்பதற்கு நிறைய 'தில்'லும், நெஞ்சழுத்தமும் வேண்டும். நான் பார்த்த முக்கால் வாசி நிழலாளிகள் லேசாக தாங்கி தாங்கி அல்லது ஒரு பக்கம் சாய்ந்து தான் நடப்பார்கள். போலிஸ் ஸ்டேஷனில் 'லாடம்' கட்டியதின் விளைவது. லாடம் கட்டுதல் என்பது சாதாரண விஷயமில்லை. ஆனாலும்,நிழலாளிகள் அசாதாரணமான தாங்கு சக்தி உடையவர்கள். லாக்கப்பில் மூன்று காவலர்கள் மரண அடி அடிக்க, நான் திருடவில்லை, அடிக்கவில்லை என்று சத்தியம் செய்யாத குறையாக சொல்லிவிட்டு, வெளியே வந்து டிஞ்சர் போட்டுக் கொண்டு, சரக்கு அடித்துவிட்டு, பிரியாணி சாப்பிட்டுக் கொண்டே "த்தா, நான் தான் போட்டேன் மச்சான். ஒவரா துள்ளினான், சொருவிட்டென்" என சர்வசாதாரணமாக சொல்லும் மனிதர்களை கண்ணருகில் பார்த்திருக்கிறேன்.ஆயுதங்களுக்கு நிழல் மொழியில் "சாமான்", "பொருள்", "மேட்டர்" என்று பல பெயர்கள். 'சாமானோட கிளம்பு மாமே' என்றால், ஆயுதம் எடுத்து ஒரு சண்டைக்கு தயாராகு என்று பொருள். தென்தமிழகத்தில் தான் அரிவாளை சட்டைக்கு பின்புறம் வைப்பார்கள். அப்புறம் பொறுமையாய் பின்னாடியில் இருந்து தமிழ் சினிமா ஹீரோக்கள் நெஞ்சுக்கு நேரே பிடிப்பார்கள். இங்கே, வடசென்னையில், லுங்கியின் வலப்பக்கத்தில் வைப்பார்கள். லுங்கியின் இடுப்புக்கு மேலே கைப்பிடியும், கூரான பகுதி தொடைக்கு வெளியே இட/வலப்புறத்திலோ இருக்கும். சண்டை என்று வந்துவிட்டால், லுங்கியினை இறக்கி கட்டினால், கையில் அரிவாளோ, கத்தியோ வந்துவிடும். ஒரே போடு, ஆள் காலி. இரு குழுக்களுக்கு இடையே சில சமயங்களில் சமரச பேச்சுக்கள் நடக்கும். 'காம்பரமெய்ஸ்' அல்லது 'பேசி முடிச்சிக்கலாம்' என்று பொருள். இந்த காம்பரமெய்ஸ் பேசும் போதெல்லாம், முதலில் இரு அணியினரும் அணைத்துக் கொள்வார்கள். இது பரஸ்பர மரியாதை இல்லை. லுங்கியின் இடையில் ஆயுதம் இருக்கிறதா என்று கேட்காமல் அறிந்துக் கொள்வது. [என்ன பண்பாடுய்யா இது! ஒரு பயலும் நிழலுலக பண்பாட்டில் முனைவர் பட்டம் செய்ய மாட்டேன்கிறார்கள்!]தமிழ் சினிமாவில் வருவது போல அடியாட்கள் தெளிவாக பின்னாலெல்லாம் வந்து நிற்க மாட்டார்கள். ஒரு நிழல் நபர் ஒரு தெருவில் இருந்தால், தெரு முனையிலுள்ள டீக்கடையில் அவனுடைய ஆட்கள் மூன்று பேர்கள் இருப்பார்கள். தெருவிலிருக்கும் சைக்கிள் கடையில் ஒருவன் பஞ்சர் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருப்பான். யாராவது இரண்டு பேர்கள் தெருவில் உலாவிக் கொண்டிருப்பார்கள். முட்டு சந்தாயிருந்தால், குட்டி சுவற்றில் இருவர் சிறுநீர் கழித்துக் கொண்டிருப்பார்கள். நிழலாளியிடம் ஆயுதம் இருக்காது, மற்றவர்களிடத்தில் இருக்கும். ஒரு தெருவில் நுழையும் போதே, பரிச்சயம் உள்ளவர்களால் அவர்களை அடையாளம் கண்டு கொள்ள முடியும்.

ஒரு தனி நபரையோ, கூட்டத்தையோ 'போட்டுத் தள்ளு'வதற்கு பெயர் 'ஸ்கெட்சு'. ஸ்கெட்சு போட்டாச்சு என்றால், வளைத்தாகிவிட்டது என்று பொருள். நிழல் உலகம் என்பது சும்மா கத்தி தூக்கவதற்கு மட்டுமல்ல. கூர்மையான அறிவு வேண்டும். ஒரு கூட்டத்திலோ, கடைத்தெருவிலோ எதிராளியை அடையாளம் காணும் திறன் வேண்டும். ஒரு assignment செய்ய வேண்டுமென்றால் தூங்காமல் அந்த நபரை பின்தொடர வேண்டும். நபரின் எல்லா உறவுகளையும், பழக்கவழக்கங்களையும் நுண்ணியமாக கண்காணிக்க வேண்டும். கத்தியோ, அரிவாளோ தூக்குபவரெல்லாம் நிழலாளியாக முடியாது. ஸ்கெட்சு போட்டாகிவிட்டால், அதனை நடைமுறைப்படுத்த பல்வேறு மக்களை இணைக்கவேண்டியிருக்கும். நம்மவரில் கமல் ஒரு ப்ளேடு வாங்கி, விரலிடுக்கில் வைத்திருப்பார். இங்கே அதேயே இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் உள்ளேப் போய், ப்ளேடினை துகளாக்கி, பான் பராக், பீடா சகிதம் வாயில் அடக்கிக் கொண்டிருப்பார்கள். சில இடங்களில் இதற்கு 'மாஷ்' என்று பெயர். மாஷா இருக்கேன் என்றால் பேசாதே என்று பொருள். அதாவது, உமிழ்நீரை தேக்கி, எதுவும் முடியாத பட்சத்தில், வாயிலிருக்கும் துகள்களையும் பான்பராக்கையும் ஒருசேர எதிராளியின் மீது துப்பினீர்களேயானால், முகமெங்கும் கிழித்து விடும். படு அபாயகரமான விஷயம், வாயில் துகள்கள் இருப்பது. ஆனாலும், அதையும் செய்யும் நிழலாளிகள் இருக்கிறார்கள். ஒரு ஸ்கெட்சு முடிந்தால் அந்த கூட்டத்தினையே ஆறு மாதம் பார்க்க முடியாது. எங்கேனும் போய்விடுவார்கள். ஆனாலும், அந்த வலைப்பின்னலும் தொடர்புகளும் தொடர்ச்சியாக இருக்கும். படிக்க சுவாரஸ்யமாகவும், திரிலிங்காகவும் இருக்கும் அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை நடைமுறையில் படு மோசமாக இருக்கும்.

வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் நிம்மதியாக வாழ முடியாது. ஒரே தெருவில் உங்களால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டவனும் நீங்களும் இருப்பீர்கள். அவன் உங்களை பழிவாங்க காத்துக் கொண்டிருப்பான். தூக்கம் வராது. தூங்க முடியாது. மிதமிஞ்சி குடித்தால் தான் நிதானமாக இருக்க முடியும். 'பாங்' இல்லாமலோ, 'கிராஸ்' இல்லாமலோ வாழ பழகுதல் கடினம். சாதாரணமாக இருந்தால், நினைவுகளும், கற்பனைகளுமே உங்களை பைத்தியம் பிடிக்க வைத்து விடும். எங்கேயும், பாத்ரூம் போனால் கூட தனியே போகமுடியாது. காதலிக்க முடியாது. எதிராளி பார்த்தால், உங்கள் காதலி நாசமடைவாள் அல்லது அவளை மிரட்டி, உங்களை அழைக்க வைத்துப் போட்டு தள்ளி விடுவார்கள். பொண்டாட்டியோடு படுக்கும் போது கூட கதவுக்கு வெளியே இரண்டு பேர்கள் உங்கள் வீட்டில் சாப்பிட்டுக் கொண்டோ, டிவி பார்த்துக் கொண்டோ இருப்பார்கள் என்று சொன்னால், அது தான் உண்மை. போலீஸுக்கு மேலிடத்திலிருந்து 'அழுத்தம்' வந்தால் எந்நேரமும் உங்களை என்கவுண்டரில் போட்டு தள்ளி விடுவார்கள். அரசியல்வாதிகள் உங்களோடு பிரியமாய் இருப்பதுப் போல நடிப்பார்கள். ஆட்சிக்கு வந்தவுடன் நேராக பார்க்க மாட்டார்கள். நள்ளிரவு சந்திப்புகள் மட்டுமே நடக்கும். கூட இருக்கும் ஆட்களை கட்சி மாறி, குரூப் மாறி காட்டிக் கொடுப்பார்கள். போட்டு தள்ளுவார்கள். ராயபுரத்தில் ஒரு பெரும் மதிமுக பிரமுகர் *(முன்னாளைய நிழலாளி) காலையில் வாக்கிங் போகும் போது நடுரோட்டில் கழுத்து திருகப்பட்டு கொல்லப்பட்டார். உயிர் எப்போது எடுக்கப்படும், போகும் என்று தெரியாது. யாரையும் நிரம்ப நெருக்கமாகவோ, நிரம்ப தொலைவிலோ வைக்கக்கூடாது. இரண்டு மாதங்களுக்கு ஒரு முறை செல்போனோ, தொடர்புகளேயோ மாற்ற வேண்டியதிருக்கும். மக்களோடு மக்களாய் உலவ முடியாது. அடிதடியோடு இருக்கும்வரை தான் மரியாதை. மீண்டும் மீண்டும் அங்கிருந்து வெளியே வராமல் தவிக்கும் நிறைய நபர்களுக்கான காரணங்கள் தான் இவை. அபூர்வமாக வெகு சில நபர்கள் அங்கிருந்து வெளியே வந்து பெரிய வணிக நிறுவனங்களை கொண்டு வந்திருக்கிறார்கள்.

Selva's interview in HINDU

http://www.hindu.com/fr/2006/06/09/stories/2006060900720200.htm

important Points in the interview

Selva is elated with the box office result of `Pudhupettai.' "A record 162 prints have been made, the film is going full house in all the theatres in the city 10 days after its release. The first week's collection itself will cover 50 per cent of the production cost. The A and B centres are doing brisk business. Though in C, as is always the case, fortunes keep fluctuating. The distributor's share in the first week was Rs.50 lakhs" � he reels out details.

In that case it's Selva's fourth hit in a row in Tamil

"My next in Tamil with Vijay [besides a Telugu film and `7/G, Rainbow Colony,' in Hindi] will be a light romantic caper. I'm sure you'll like it," he quips.

The funny thing is:

He was also once proclaimed as if he is gonna be next KH by the media
Then he called RK as "THALAIVA".. twisting everything and making an U - TURN..

This is Nothing against RK . But he could have avoided this for gaining the cheap advantage. He tried something in sullan after this. Having learned the lesson, I thought he will concentrate on his works alone. Now

----------------------------------

Joe,
No offense. I agree that everyone can speak their mind. But how? IF this has come from a PERSON LIKE KH, definitly I would have "THALAI THAAZTHI ETRU KONDIRUPPEN"

But this too from Dhanush ... a person who has barely two films to prove his acting skill and a film like SULLAN which destroyed everything.

Let him prove that. I mean.. AJITH IS CONCENTRATING ON HIS ACTING.. BE IT GODFATHER / HIS SELECTION OF NK (though he walked away from it).

I mean "THIS SEEMS TO BE LIKE AN ADVICE" He could have put this ni a different way. Like "VAALI AJITH MAATHIRI, MUGAVARI AJITH MAATHIRI, VILLAN AJITH MAATHIRI"

But now, it looks to me like his PP dialogue in Bhatsha style.

Let me remind you that he started off as a KH fan and then hailed RK with words like THALAIVAR etc and now

Be it chat script or whatever opinion is opinion.

Just answer my question:

- How many FILMFARE AWARDS HAS HE GOT? Ajith has 1 for Vaali, 1 for Villan and 1 for Mugavari.
- Even at his peak period, AJITH DID A FINE MOVIE LIKE MUGAVARI. But dhanush only did SULLAN and that too imagining himself that he is donna be next RK

P.S: A_A, ofcourse, it might give what he thinks. But that might also reveal their personal hatred, obsession and things which they can only dream about

Ramesh, If u read that interview of Ajith in KUNGUMAM, you will clearly see that he never ever disrespected RK. This is one of the false interpretations people had at that time. I have that interview copy also. If possible will try to search and upload here.

Yes.. Telling one's ambition is not a problem. Just IMAGINE, this

Ajith says "RK should try to go back to MULLUM MARUM period and should learn how to act rather than acting in movies like Baba"

I don't find any difference b/w this imaginative statement and the real statement from Dhanush.

IF u are commenting about someone's acting, then you must be equally qualified to say also. Does Dhanush think that he is KH ? If he says this, then it is out of ignorance and BIG HEADED ATTITUDE.

Ajith clearly clarified his stand over the superstar issue. That is his ambition. In every field, there will be a peak of achievement. He just said that he wants to achieve the peak esp after the same statement came from RK in that Saamy function.. That is: Anyone with hardwork can achieve that feat..

Also, HERE LOT OF PEOPLE CONFUSE THE TRUE MEANING OF SUPERSTAR - A famous actor.

Post Pudhupettai, Dhanush is a happy and a relieved man.

Says Dhanush, 'Thanks to my fans and my brother Selvaraghavan, I am a relieved man today. My Pudhupettai is speaking for me in all theatres'.

The movie on gangsters directed by Selvaraghavan showcased Dhanush's skills in performing complex role with ease.

Heaping praises on Selvaraghavan, Dhanush, says, 'It is indeed a movie which has come really well thanks to Selvaraghavan's dedication. His films had always helped me go one place above in my career. Pudhupettai is no different'.

'My comfort level was high working with him and he knows to extract work from me and I feel happy to give my best for such directors'.

The success of Pudhupettai has emboldened Dhanush to concentrate on his next Thiruvilayadal directed by Boopathy Pandian.

. HE must learn acting then he can talk the talk.

Media misintepreted his statement as he is competing Rajini. That was not true. He said he will be the superstar after Rajini. Media has habit of getting Ajith in trap, that is why later in an interview he cleared it by saying that I did not say I'm competing Rajini but it's about being a superstar after Rajini. If you have been following all of his interviews, you'll know that. Otherwise, you won't.

Wow.. after Pudupettai... Dhanush has indeed developed lot of guts..

Ajith fans.. lemme pull a situational dialogue from a "Thala" film..

"Nambinen.. sonnen.. Unakku Enna".. followed by Unakku Enna song..

Guys, this is a democratic country and everyone is free to give their opinion.

Ajith, I wouldn't call him a bad actor, I would put it as he didn't get a good film or director to showcase his skills.

Dhanush got only Selvaraghavan to do so.. but he got the opportunity importantly.

Ajith's dialogue from the movie does not do anything here. What's the purpose in typing it here?. Totally irrelevant to the argument.

It's a democratic country but is it how he takes advantage of this? I say it again, he can comment whaterver but he should not give false statements like this. Saying prabu deva must improve his dance is a jest. I would've not been bothered if he said either Ajith or Vijay would not be a superstar. But this comment proves what a "M" he is.

Maybe we got it wrong. I think the intention of his interview is to provide us comedy that we have been missing in all of his movies. Warning: Plz don't say this interview was second episode of his Puthupettai in comedy wise. subtle.

Says Dhanush, 'Thanks to my fans and my brother Selvaraghavan, I am a relieved man today. My Pudhupettai is speaking for me in all theatres'.

The movie on gangsters directed by Selvaraghavan showcased Dhanush's skills in performing complex role with ease.

Heaping praises on Selvaraghavan, Dhanush, says, 'It is indeed a movie which has come really well thanks to Selvaraghavan's dedication. His films had always helped me go one place above in my career. Pudhupettai is no different'.

'My comfort level was high working with him and he knows to extract work from me and I feel happy to give my best for such directors'.

The success of Pudhupettai has emboldened Dhanush to concentrate on his next Thiruvilayadal directed by Boopathy Pandian.

Pudupettai atlast declared a success!! June 16, 2006

After a series of discussions and deliberations, the result has finally emerged. If you were confused about the mixed media reports on the status of the film Pudupettai, wonder no more. The Selva-Dhanush-Yuvan combo has worked again? Reports have been released that state the film is a definite success. And Selvaraghavan has proved yet again that his brand, his name, sure does sell.

After the high success his earlier films received, Pudupettai sure did come with a lot of expectations. Due to the excessive violence and gore on screen, industry experts wondered if the film would go well with the audience, especially the women, who loved his earlier films. In fact, right after the release of the film, Selvaraghavan, who was understandably worried about the outcome of the film thanks to all the speculation, actually stated that he would go the Himalayas if the film failed. But Selva looks like you can stay where you are, happy with yet another successful film.

Note I am no body's fan.
Pudhupettai is a very good movie direction, acting, music all has come out well. full appreciation to selvaragavan, dhanush and YSR.
Really aathi, paramasivan and thirupathi are not even worth talking about. They are 1980s movies. paramsivan is horrible. really vijay and ajith should concentrate on giving good movies rather only concentrating just on image boosting.
Anyway full mark to pudhupettai. danush's performance is very good.
How good he my be , he should be careful when speaking to media or public. It may affect the career.

People pls read th post by selva kumar in page number 58 of this thread before watchin the movie again.

That is one of the 100% Asal AKMAARK POI coming from the crap site sify.

I was there in chennai. I went to Satyam cinemas to see X-MEN 3. I was surprised to see PP failing and unable to cope up with movies like Paarijaatham and even Thiruttupayalaae.

The movie has already failed in the rural areas in a big way.

I didn't get a single ticket for MI-3, X-MEN, PAARIJAATHAM etc..

For PP, the ticket was available .. I was taken aback and It reminded 7g days... The movie has houseful bookings in other threatres in chennai even after 70 days. (during weekends)

Definitly , people who called this HIT, should recheck their posts on the so called crap movies (as per their view) and how they ran

Selva,

I take a strong ojection to your oservation. I watched MI3 on saturday (10:30 show) and the the hall was not full..

Why don't you have some life and appreciate that Pudupettai is a hit.

The logic is:

1. Satyam is not the kind of theatre that runs movies for the sake of the producer paying them like few films.

2. Satyam is more catering to the cosmopolitan crowd in chennai and the fact that despite facing competition from Huge releases of sequels (MI3 and X-Men 3)that requires repeat audiences (those who have seen the other sequels), Pudupetai is pulling along and entered it's fourth week.

3. If Lakshmi movie makers have planned to pay money and run this film, they would have done that for one of the earlier master-pieces, they produced named Anbe Sivam, which would have had incurred more cast with heavy paid stars and production budget.

If you ould ask me to trade Pudupetai for Anbe Sivam for a Hit movie, I would have done that.. as the latter is a class movie.. but Pudupettai is good and realistic as Selvaraghavan says and is a hit according to The Rediff, and behindwoods. Do u want the links to prove this ?????

4. They have accepted that Dhoolpet is a flop in Andhra... but the same is not the case with Pudupettai.

Selva,

I take a strong ojection to your oservation. I watched MI3 on saturday (10:30 show) and the the hall was not full..

Why don't you have some life and appreciate that Pudupettai is a hit.

Renalut,

Quote:

Why don't you have some sense and do look into the real picture. Do u think that appreciating something which is advantageous for you alone is a life? I do accept that MI3 is a new movie .. But what about THIRUTTU PAYALAE.. If that movie is not getting repeated audience, why the hell satyam employees say that it is HOUSEFULL and force the people to buy the tickets indirectly ..

That is not happening for PP.. If PP is getting that much repeated audience, definitly SATYAM as usual would have hyped that and people would have been forced to buy the tickets in black

Quote:

1. Satyam is not the kind of theatre that runs movies for the sake of the producer paying them like few films.

did I ever say that satyam is running the movie? I just said that PP is not running well even in satyam.. If you are that honest to accept the facts, accept this one too.

I never said that SATYAM is running the movie for the sake of the producer. But now I have a doubt whether they are doing it with PP Laughing

BTW, Can u mention a single post from my side which made u to come to this conclusion?

Quote:

2. Satyam is more catering to the cosmopolitan crowd in chennai and the fact that despite facing competition from Huge releases of sequels (MI3 and X-Men 3)that requires repeat audiences (those who have seen the other sequels), Pudupetai is pulling along and entered it's fourth week.

PP pulling the crowd.. Rolling Eyes

IF it is the case, then it should have been in the same sate as that of THIRUTTU PAYALAE. which is crossing its N-th week better than PP. Cool

FAct is: PP has failed to THIRUTTU PAYALAE. IT is the only coz of crap sites like sify, the movie is hyped very much. Just imagine the days of 7G.. It was housefull even after some 50 days.. whereas PP has failed.

To be precise: It is a flop as per the budget and other things. It has failed to collect the money that a movie like THIRUTTU PAYALAE collected.

Quote:

3. If Lakshmi movie makers have planned to pay money and run this film, they would have done that for one of the earlier master-pieces, they produced named Anbe Sivam, which would have had incurred more cast with heavy paid stars and production budget.

Why do you bring in Anbe sivam here? Did I ever say that LAKSHMI movie makers have done that? I just said that PP is failing and trembling.. I will never commit the sin of comparing a CLASS, MORE REALISTIC MOVIE LIKE ANBE SIVAM WITH pp Laughing

in which hero cuts the throats of 20 men with a single sword ... engappa logic >?? and hero becoming a super hero at the end ROTFL

I would never ask you to trade PP for AS.. All KH fans will accept that AS being the movie of the lifetime failed in the box office.. Why not the same case with you people?

Just REad previous WEEK's kumudam.. which says that PP failed miserably.. coz of the 3.5 lakhs length film roll and huge production cost ROTFL

4. They have accepted that Dhoolpet is a flop in Andhra... but the same is not the case with Pudupettai.

Quote:

The point here is not that. TP even being a low budget film is still going strong. Whereas PP which has been relased just now is already limping in rural as well as urban areas. Definitly it is not a hit. If movies like TP are hits then definitly PP which is unable to maintain that momentum can't be taken as a hit considering the budget and other things. I mean.. TP should have collected more than PP if this situation continues.

Quote:

Did I ever say that you are biased towards PP. No.. I am not biased against Sify.. But sify itself is biased Sify said that PP is limping. Then OVER NIGHT THEY SAID IT IS RAISING. "Kekuravan enna kena payala"

Quote:

Sify thrashed PP at first. Then suddenly made a 360 degree turn and that to overnight. tell me. HOw it would be possible for a movie failing in the initial face to gain the momentum when it is not appreciated by family audience? YOu people are considering CBO information alone. Reality is different

I came to the conclusion on sify not only on Ajith movies alone. But also on several other things. IT is your prejudice towards me on this issue

Dhanush, Kollywood�s Al Pacino!!

There is something about this small-made, skinny, almost skeletal young man. When he entered Tamil cinema, people wrote him off without even a second look. But with powerful performances, arresting screen presence and an air of nonchalance while being completely connected to the role, the character and the script, Dhanush made a mark for himself. And now, with Pudupettai�s performance, he has scaled new heights, making him one actor to certainly look out for.

Critics might say the movie is too violent, moviegoers might have had mixed reactions to the film, but one unanimous verdict was Dhanush�s stellar character, that literally came alive in all its glory for the three hours. What�s more, Cameron Bailey, Film Programmer, Toronto International Film Festival for South Asia and Africa, who was in Chennai to shortlist films for the festival, had this to say about the film and Dhanush�s versatility: �My interest for the film took shape only because I was told that the film had a few touches of the film �City of God�. And when I saw the film, I was impressed.

It had a little of City of God, a little of the film Scarface, and yet, Puduettai retained its own flavour and style. Dhanush especially was very impressive, and I was reminded of a young Al Pacino of the 1970s. I was also quite taken by the technical brilliance of the film.� So much so, Cameron Bailey also mentioned that even though the first half was better than the second half, the film still has a lot of interesting elements in it.

With the film Kadhal Kondein itself, both Selvaraghavan and Dhanush proved their talent and capabilities, each laden with unique and distinguished potential. Selvaraghavan gave three successive hits and forced the industry to take note of his style of filmmaking, and today his films are a brand on its own. As in their previous films, the Selvaraghavan � Dhanush combination has created magic on screen yet again. Perhaps not as a super hit like his earlier films, but it has made the world take notice.

For Dhanush, after a long gap and many flops, Pudupettai has given him that much needed break. He might not be a successful commercial film actor, but when it comes to subject-oriented films, like Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam or Pudupettai, Dhanush brings out his best, and audiences are more than happy to appreciate his screen accomplishments.

While we leave Cameron Bailey with his spontaneous reactions to the film, his contentment with the rich source of Indian films

and the secret wish of Sivaji being ready for the festival, we leave Dhanush to revel in his newfound success. There is something about international attention and praise!

If someone says that Kamal reminds us of NADIGAR THILAGAM. We should not accept it coz both are in different leagues and both have their own style and achievements. Right?

Btw the article writer was just quoting on what the film programmer cameron bailey had said on pudhupettai and dhanush and besides that he only seems to talk about dhanush being successful with no other mention of him being in the league with Al Pacino...

Nope..

If we put NADIGAR THILAGAM or KH or whomsover who belongs to the same league of ALPACINO, and compare them with Dhanush then definitly, it WILL BE A BIG INSULT TO THEM.. Compared to their skills and achievements, Dhanush will look like a mere ordinary actor. Not only Dhanush, even others too.

BTW, Hulk, I meant "reviewer" as well as the person who wrote the article. Well in the case, I can spare the person who merely copied what cameron said and pasted that. But I am ridiculing the reviewer ! Hope you got it ! EVen the person who wrote the article too has made some changes.. Cameron has said "He reminds me Young..." but they have come up with a title, "DHANUSH KOLLYWOOD'S ALPACINO"

How should we take that? when we have the likes of legends like

Nadigar Thilagam >> Always put in the league of Marlon Brando (not sure abt spelling)
KH >> ALPACINO etc

Won't you feel that the comments as well as the article itself looks weird.

Dhanush is a o.k actor. He excels only when he joins with his brother.

The article title as usual is a attention attractor...i guess thats how journalism is done in websites like behindwoods..to capture the viewer's attention despite it being totally exaggerated.

In that case i have to agree as well...dhanush has long way to go to prove himself in such standards...lets see how well he acts in future movies directed by others...i do wish he gets to act in Maniratnam movies or movies where the characterisation is at a maximum so that we can see his potential...

Yeaps..he has been criticised by the media and movie critics that he just chooses any movie that comes his way without looking into the script..and with rajini sir reviewing some of his scripts there might be a conflict of interest..hopefully kamal can be a good mentor to him in the way scripts are chosen..

Exactly. Dhanush did the splendid job in Pudhupettai. that is the
fact.but comparing to al pacino
Let him prove in other directors films also. If he improves consistently, then surely He will come well. but currently he is the upcoming actor that's all.
But pudhupettai's success (i am not saying the BO. then there will be debate about BO result) is sorely on selva-yuvan-arvind combo.
Even though Dhanush played the big role in this film.

Exactly Vasanth. There is no one here to deny Dhanush's hard word though it wasn't able to satisfy all.

But the success mainly is due to that combo.
I loved the RE-RECORDING and the BGM from Yuvan. I think Yuvan should carefully choose his future projects rather than choosing whatever comes on his way.
