truth was wrong. Simbhu is nothing in front of dhanush. hope he watches Kathal Kondein, the only movie can take care of any Simbhu movies. I think simbhu's Manmathan is over-rated. I mean that did't match Kathal Kondein in any standards but some say like Simbhu overtook Dhanush. hope Dhanush comes back

hey comon guys...accept the fact that simbhu proved his calibre in manmadhan as an alrounder and he's all set to make it big in thotti jaya and vallavan...dhanush on the other hand is still reeling upon his brother's potentials in making a good film for himself.all his other movies have flopped except the manmadharasa...his only other hope hanging over in adhu oru kanakalam..
by the way new ones as bharath,ravi are also maturing up to good heroes..it's not gonna b an easy walk ahead....

The dark horse?

By Moviebuzz
Wednesday, 12 October , 2005, 12:43

For Dhanush everything depends on Balu Mahendra directed Athu Oru Kana Kalam which is finally releasing for Diwali. Those who saw the film are raving about his performance which has a potential to turn into a hit.

Last week superstar Rajnikanth saw the film at Prasad Film Lab preview theatre and later hugged his son-in-law and said that it is his best performance. The film is being screened for distributors who are now coming forward to buy some areas.

All financial problems associated with the film have been amicably sorted out and director Balu Mahendra has come to an agreement with the producer. The film is now slated for Diwali release and could be the dark horse among the biggies of the season.

New road to success
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, October 12, 2005]

Craving for a hit to stay afloat in Kollywood is Dhanush. His recent movies took a drubbing at the box-office, while his Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam has been witnessing a delay in its release.

Now Dhanush gets fresh lease of life with the famed production house K Balachander's Kavithalaya planning to produce a film starring Dhanush in the lead role.

After making Saamy, Thirumalai and Ayya in the recent past, Kavithalaya will churn out a movie titled NH 47, which would feature Dhanush as the hero.

The movie would be produced by Vettri, an associate of director Balau Mahendra.

The movie might go to floors very soon.

Dhanush will be hoping NH 47 will provide a new road to success.

Behindwoods.com

While Dhanush�s Adhu oru kanakkalam is facing hurdles before release, he has started work on two projects, namely, Asokamitran and Tiruvillaiyadal. In Asokamitran, K. Bhagyaraj plays his father and Suhasini his mother. In Tiruvillaiyadal, his name is Tiru and his antics form the basis of the title. Prakashraj has an important role in this film. Dhanush is attempting to play a comedy-laced character for the first time and we can be assured of a laugh riot with the talented Prakashraj around. Dhanush has been studying the films of the veteran, Nagesh to understand the nuances of fine comedy. Dhanush�s wife, Aishwarya is his costume designer for this film.

More troubles for Dhanush
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, October 20, 2005]

Dhanush�s Ashokamithran to be directed by Karu Palaniappan is facing protests. The crux of the problem is again the title.

Now, what could be wrong with a title like Ashokamithran? Well, it can be problematic if there is a living person in the same name.

And there is one,and he is not only living but is also a popular and respected writer in Tamil.

The news is that Ashokamitran, the well-known writer (he pens in both Tamil and English) has reportedly not happy with his name being used for the film.

A quiet,suave man, he is said to have conveyed his mind to the director.

Asoka Mitran is not the one to make a showy fuss over anything. So if at all he is upset, the director and producer will bow to his wishes as his views and ideas are seen as genuine.

The team is now said to be looking for an alternative title.

Balu Mahendra is angry
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, October 20, 2005]

After witnessing a delay in completion, Dhanush starrer Athu Oru Kanaa Kaalam was finally completed and was finally slated to hit the theatres on Deepavali.

Unfortunately its director Balu Mahendra has now posed a hurdle for the release of the film.

After lodging a complaint with Police urging them to get back the remaining sum of Rs four lakh of his salary from the producer of the movie a some days back, Balu Mahendra has again gone ahead and lodged a complaint against the producer with the Tamil Film Directors Association. The same has been now forwarded to the FEFSI.

Balu Mahendra is in no mood to buy peace or to forgive, If anything he is talking tougher by the day.

Balu Mahendra, who presided over a photo exhibition in Chennai on Wednesday said, �it is unfair that the producer has not yet paid a major portion of salary to me. I have worked hard for the movie in spite of my bad health. Unless he is not going to settle the money, I will ensure that the movie is not released�.

Dhanush�s latest venture Adhu Oru Kanakalam is facing a crisis. The movie which was slated for a Deepavali release has been postponed due to the problems between the director and the producer of the movie. The movie was directed by cinematographer cum director Balu Mahendra. Balu Mahendra has accepted to do the movie for 35 lakhs, as his salary. But the problem arose when he said that he has been paid only 31 lakhs, whereas the producer claims that he has paid him the entire amount. So, Balu Mahendar has decided to take the case to the Producers and Directors Association. Let us see the luck of Dhanush.

Following in the footsteps of many other prominent heroes in Kollywood today, Dhanush has turned a distributor for his forthcoming movie Athu Oru Kanaa Kaalam.

He will be distributing the movie directed by Balu Mahendra in two districts of the State.

Sources close to Dhanush say all problems between the producer Sai Chidambaram and director Balu Mahendra have been sorted out and the movie will indeed grace theatres for Deepavali.

Confirming that Dhanush has turned a distributor for the movie, they add that film would go on to make it big among Deepavali releases and re-establish Dhaunsh as a mass hero.

It may recalled that Srikanth too has taken the distribution for his Deepavali release Bambhara Kannaley.

Perhaps is there a message in all this? You try and figure that out.

Thesiya Nedunsaalai, Dhanush�s next
tamil.galatta.com

Dhanush�s recent Deepavali release Adhu Oru Kanaakaalam is much talked about. He has done a really good job with Priya Mani as his pair. The manner in which their love has been portrayed in this movie is a different one. As we had stated in our review of the film, Dhanush has displayed new levels of histrionics and this will surely rank as a turning point in his acting career. His next film is to be Thesiya Nedunsaalai. Vetrimaan, an associate of Balu Mahendra is to be the director for this film with A.M. Ratnam producing it.

Deadly combo is back!

By Moviebuzz
Sunday, 11 December , 2005, 12:49

The audio market is gung-ho about the music launch of Selvaraghavan directed Dhanush�s Puthupet releasing next week.
The music by Yuvan Shankar Raja has always spelled magic in Selva films like Thulluvatho Ilamai, Kathal Kondein and 7-G Rainbow Colony.

Selva-Yuvan combo is hot among the youth as they know the pulse of the young audience who matters most as far as sales are concerned.

HIT music the audio company which had brought the rights for the film feels that it will usher in a new wave of Tamil pop music which will rock.!

Will Puduppettai resurrect Dhanush�s market?
December 15, 2005
Behindwoods.com

Dhanush is worried about his sliding career graph. The recent Adhu oru kanakkalam did not create a raving impact. Hence, Dhanush is banking much upon Puduppettai being directed by his elder brother, Selvaraghavan. Selva on his part is crafting the film with great care. The audio release for the film will be held today.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has created some excellent music for the film in which all the songs have been written by Na. Muthukumar. Dhanush, Sonia Agarwal and Sneha are the lead cast. Sneha plays a deglamorized role of a commercial sex worker.

Dhanush deserves a break
IndiaGlitz [Friday, December 16, 2005]

Actor Dhanush is due for a hit.

The actor started his career with a bang in Thulluvatho Ilamai and followed it up with back-to-back hits in Kadhal Kondein and Thiruda Thirudi.

Unfortunately, his subsequent films did not enjoy the kind of success he would have wanted.

It was not as if Dhanush was not trying. In fact, he has been giving all his best. But somehow the pieces have not fallen in place.

Dhanush, of course, is talented and deserves a good break. Dhanush is hoping that good break would be Puthupet.

Supposedly an action entertainer on 'goons' in Chennai, Puthupet also stars Sneha and Sonia Agarwal.

Directed by Dhanush's elder brother Selvaraghavan, the movie is being produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers.

After a big hit in Kadhal Kondein, the trio of Selvaraghavan, Dhanush and Yuvanshankar Raja have teamed up again for Puthupet.

The movie has created a lot of expectations and let's hope that it clicks and helps Dhanush resurrect his career.

No more reviews in Music section from the fans yet.

Finally heard it. Let me give a try,

Completely a different one from YSR & SR. Very Innovative & subjective tracks in the form of Gana, Rap, Hip hop, Gangmaster heros solo & kuthu. The beauty of the track is its listing & the tracks which takes you clearly thru the movie concept.

1. PP Theme: Starts good with flute followed by Orchestra, slows down at 1.26 & after few secs then diverts to another theme (form). Lacks continuity.

2.Nerrupu Vayinil: Is it KH on vocals ? . Ridiculous! Amateurish attempt. Why is he singing for someone else when he isn�t acting in it. Is dhanush gonna act for it.. Ditto Aalavandhan style. None of MD's would have spoiled KH like this be it BW,SM (ARR in tenali injirungho is good compared). Why is he opting for such Gana songs these days if he has sung classics like "inji iduppalaghi".

3. Enga Area Dhanush in vocals. padicha naaye kitta varadha. Fight between the college guys & gangsters. I have never seen anyone using naaye in lyrical part. Enga area ulla varathe. (+) is MGR songs in the intro & Oru naal varuvar & Oru povar. Damn good!

4. Selling Dope : The Beginning . Better than the PP main theme. Gains continuity. Needs more listening..

5. Oru Naalil: Good choice of vocals by YSR himself. It will really suit dhanush and his gangster hero solo (aim). Brilliant usage of Acoustic, Electric Guitar and Violin as credited in the track list itself. Sure hit.

6. Going Thru' Emotions : Prelude Another good theme.

7. Pul Pesum Poo Pesum : Hip Hop in PP. Unbelievable. This is height of creativity. I hate the rap part. & stressing konjam konjam in lyrical parts.

8. Varriya : Heck of a track. Instantly catchy. I can bet every1 will start dancing to this track. The best I have ever listened in pettai tracks. Good use of percussions & flute.Gonna rock for sure (thanni kodam poravale...thanna na na ne). This is what I mean continuity. Right from the beginning to end is awesome. Wanna listen repeatedly. (Is it playing Ore Oru raathirikki otha savari in instruments )

9. Clash of Titans : The War Story.

10. Oru Naalil : A composer's Dream Mix . Fast forward of the original one. Thanks to the other composer who has been giving a different meaning for remix versions these days.

This album completely gels only with the movie not as an individual soundtrack. Considering those earlier two hits (commercially, I believe) the tracks by KH, Pul pesum, Enga area can turn out to be a moderate � smash hit. Less scope for lyricist. Couldn�t blame. Ultimately A Daring effort from YSR & SR .

Vivek Oberoi meets Selva!

By Moviebuzz
Friday, 20 January , 2006, 17:55

Vivek Oberoi, the young hero is now in Bollywood�s dog house. Nobody wants to do a film with him especially after he dished out last years two big flops Kisna and Home Delivery.
So what does poor Vivek do especially after Aishwarya Rai is rumoured to have ditched him. Last week Vivek accompanied by his dad Suresh Oberoi flew south to Chennai and met director Selvaraghavan.

They wanted Selva to direct a Hindi film with Vivek in the lead. Selva arranged for special screening of his Kathal Kondein and 7-G Rainbow Colony which they saw back to back. They were so impressed with Selva�s films and asked the director to do the remake of Kathal Kondein in Hindi.

But Selva made it clear that he would be able to start work only after the release of Puthupet and completion of his new Telugu film with Venkatesh. The father-son duo is said to have given Selva a blank cheque to start work on priority basis!

From: nickraman on Sat Jan 21 11:34:27 2006.

Kastoori Raja and Selva are most arrogant..
They both reach great eights with so called superhits withs sleazy flicks...
And theyre talking like theyre the only one saving tamil cinema..

So wouldn't that make Vijay and Perarasu arrogant too?

They work together to make gorey movies and idiotic sentiments which the repeat audience would love....
By the way...Sivakasi is average...so don't get your hopes up when, Majaa ran for 90 days, **** a kasi ran for 37, why? Blame it on Aaru and the rains...

Pudhupettai - Birth of a don
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 10, 2006]

Dhanush is hoping that good break would be Pudhupettai. Supposedly an action entertainer on 'goons' in Chennai, Pudhupettai also stars Sneha and Sonia Agarwal.

Directed by Dhanush's elder brother Selvaraghavan, the movie is being produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers.

After a big hit in Kadhal Kondein, the trio of Selvaraghavan, Dhanush and Yuvan Shankar Raja have teamed up again for Pudhupettai.

The story is about the rites of passage of a don. It is about how a adolescent boy ends up as a dadha of sorts. Like all Selvaraghavan films, this one too has a lot of realism.

Dhanush, as the director says, has been cast because he suits the role. �We chose the story first,� he says.

Dhanush has the role out of his skin and is very hopeful of pulling it off.

Sneha plays a call girl in the movie and she says it is one of the best roles that she had ever performed. Sonia Agarwal is also all thrilled about her role in the film.

Selvaraghavan has proved his mettle as a good director thanks to big hits in Kadhal Kondein and 7G Rainbow Colony.

He has given his best for the movie, which was shot extensively in a big set erected at Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad replicating the Chennai slums.

Perhaps, the first action-packed venture by Selvaraghavan, the movie has already created a lot of expectations among film buffs.

The audio of the movie has also come good and Yuvan Shankar's tunes are rocking.

Dhanush is pinning all hopes on Pudhupettai.

Selvaragan' Interview with Rediff regarding Pudhupettai.

Your first and second films were huge successes. Is there more pressure on you now?
Actually, Pudupettai is my fifth film. I directed 7 G Rainbow Colony twice, once in Tamil and again in Telugu. The pressure to prove yourself is the same for every film. You go through the same emotions every time. People's expectations from Pudupettai are making me tense. I have been working non-stop for the past five years, moving from one film to another. I haven't had a genuine break. I really do not know how to handle this pressure. I feel like a zombie these days.

The success of the film's score must have eased some of that pressure.

Yes, we have experimented a lot with the audio. I told Yuvan not to expect much, but, to our surprise, it was a sell-out on day one.

Was Pudupettai the most difficult film for you so far?

The subject matter was a completely new area -- the underworld.
Yes, the milieu is completely alien to me, the dark side of society. When I want to write a court scene, I don't know anything about how a court functions. I have never been to a court. I have never been inside a police station. Everything about the film is alien to me.

Why choose a subject you are not familiar with?

For how long can I do films about people I know? I have already made three films on love. Because of my age, I am familiar with that emotion. I felt I needed to explore the unexplored. But when I began Pudupettai� I did not expect it to be so tough.

Why do you say the underworld is unexplored? So many films are made on them by filmmakers like Ram Gopal Varma and Mani Ratnam�

There is a difference between how gangsters live in Mumbai and how they live in Chennai. Gangsters in Chennai are not as professional or sophisticated as those from the Mumbai underworld. When I met gangsters in Chennai, they told me they laughed at the way they were depicted in Tamil cinema. They asked me to show them as real people.

What did you understand about them when you spoke to them?
I understood one thing I have used as the tag line -- survival of the fittest. Darwin's theory. Nothing else matters to them. When I saw the area they grow up in, with only gangsters all around them, I asked myself -- what could they become but gangsters? If a child grows up in K K Nagar or Poes Garden, he will become somebody else! It all depends on the atmosphere around you.

I spoke to them for 3-4 months and didn't see any difference between them and anyone else, as far as looks are concerned. In fact, going by the kind of image we have of them, some people who live on this side of the fence look like gangsters. On the other hand, you could meet a thin, famished man with a record of 16 murders!

But films present a caricature of gangsters as huge and intimidating.

That is true but, from my experience, I found all of them to be like normal human beings. One of them looked like a software engineer. He had murdered 15 people, but if someone were to tell me he worked for a software firm, I would have believed it.

Where do they get the power and courage to kill people?
Killing becomes a habit for them. Only the first murder is difficult. Another thing is, without political support, no gangster can exist in Chennai. How long will it take for the police to gun down a gangster? The police let them live. The police let them kill. Finally, it boils down to survival. The gangsters, police and politicians want to survive. You do not know who the real parasite is.

As I near the end of making the film, I am also scared. Is this the kind of society we are living in? The film isn't giving any moral lessons though. It is a simple film about a simple man and his life. I always tell people not to give too much importance to a film. The time has come for the people of Tamil Nadu to see a movie as a movie. Only if they do that can we experiment.

You spoke about the stereotypical image of gangsters in films, as huge musclemen. Dhanush is the exact opposite of that image. Did you choose him because he looks different?
I chose Dhanush because he looks different, and I find his look interesting. I don't want an actor who has 16-inch biceps! He looks very vulnerable, and it is his vulnerability that is appealing to people.

The general talk is that Dhanush needs his brother Selvaraghavan for a hit�

No, he does not. He needs a good director, that's all. We have left him alone. He is hardworking and sensible, he will come up.

You are the first person who directed him in Thulluvatho Ilamai. How much do you think he has grown as an actor?

He has grown a lot. After doing Balu Mahendra's film, he has improved a lot as an actor.

Your actors look a lot like you. Is that just a coincidence?
Many people have told me this. That is because I act out scenes for all my actors. It is like giving lecture notes. That could be the reason why they look like me, and show expressions like mine. I feel a filmmaker has to be an actor. Nobody knows what a great actor Balachander Sir is. We know because we have worked with him. Maybe when I work with actors like Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal, I have only to tell them. There is magic in their acting. Dhanush is a director's baby right now. Maybe he will change with experience.

It is on
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, January 28, 2006]

A major portion of Dhanush's Thiruvilayadal Arambam is completed and the remaining portion would be shot beginning this February.

Wielding the megaphone is director Boopathy Pandian, who had combined with actor in Devadhaiyay Kandein before.

Rumors had it that the project was shelved and that actress Shreya was not acting in the movie (since she is cast opposite Rajinikanth in Sivaji).

Denying the reports, Boopathy Pandian said,'The project is on. I share a good rapport with Dhanush and it would be reflected on the screen'.

Shreya's role has come good and there is no truth in reports that she has backed out of the project, he adds.

Having worked as associates to Parthiban and Sundar C before,the director says, 'I am keen to give a quality film which would be hilarious and watched by all'.

Asked about the controversies in the title, he expressed optimism that the issue would be sorted out before release.

Besides Dhanush, Prakash Raj plays an important role in the movie. After Puthupettai, Thiruvilayadal Arambam would be released.

Why is Pudhupettai stalled : an inside report
February 01, 2006

If you believe as we did that Pudhupettai was delayed because of Sneha�s mood swings, you are only partially right. The fact is Pudhupaettai will be delayed for some more time. Guess why? Selvaraghavan�s headstrong attitude. When one of his assistants cautioned him that he better see �Perusu� first and then go ahead with the film because it dealt with the same subject, Selvaraghavan thought: Can they make a film better than mine? However, when he saw the movie, he was floored.

It was much better than he would have made. While his group was discussing the story in five star hotels, the Perusu crew went directly into the field, the hamlets and hideouts of dadas to make the film. No wonder, the movie turned out a silent hit. Now Selvaraghavan wants to remake the 17 cans he had already rolled out. Great loss of money, effort and time.

Who is going to die? Sneha or Sonia?
Behindwoods.com

Selvaraghavan is in a dilemma. He has got two climaxes for his Pudhupettai and he is unable to choose. In one climax, the hero, Dhanush is shot dead in an encounter. In the other, both the hero and the heroine die similarly. The question now for the movie buff is which heroine is the director going to kill�Sneha or Sonia Agarwal? Dhanush, on the other hand is seriously thinking about his career. He has decided that he would not try new directors.

Presently he is working with Bhupathi Pandiyan in Thiruvilaiyaadal with whom he seems to be very pleased. He has lent his car Bolero for the director�s use and promised him a new car if everything goes well at the end. New directors who come with worthless story, Dhanush sends them away saying that he has no call sheets.

Selvaraghavan in confusion over �Pudupettai� climax
- 04.02.2006
Cinesouth.com

Young directors are wondering what new stuff one can see in the film. Could it be another �Kaadhal Kondein,� wonder the rasikas. There are lots of expectations of �Pudupettai.�

��Pudupettai� could well be the most important film in my career,� says Dhanush adding that,� There are a few roles I have always wanted to do and one of them is fulfilled with �Pudupettai.��

Sonia Agarwal and Sneha word the same sentiment differently. Sneha is positive that �Pudupettai� will win national award. But Selvaraghavan himself seems to be rather confused. �Do we get Dhanush killed or Sneha murdered?�

Kasturiraja was originally supposed to do the police officer role. According to the story, he is supposed to finish off Dhanush in an encounter. It is all only acting but he could not do it, so Kasturiraja turned down the role.

Now Selva is wondering about what to do with the climax. To be on the safe side, he has shot both types of climax. He is still not sure which version to use, or if he should shoot a third version where both of them are killed.

Watch out...the climax should not become an anti-climax.

Dhanush : When romance starts, Aishwarya leaves...
February 04, 2006

Dhanush�s career graph may not have taken an upswing but, this family life is indeed going great guns. Guess who brings his lunch to the sets? Wife Aishwarya, of course. He has his lunch, chats with her for some time, relaxes and then repairs to the sets.

Sometimes, Aishwarya stays back to watch the shooting. However, her presence is a great embarrassment to the hero, especially if he is shooting a romantic scene. The romance simply evaporates. Maybe, Aishwarya has realized that for she leaves immediately whenever the crew prepares for such a scene.

'துள்ளுவதோ இளமை', 'காதல் கொண்டேன்', '7G ரெயின்போ காலனி' என தொடர்ந்து டீன் ஏஜ் ஏரியாவில் படம் பண்ணிய செல்வராகவனால் அதைவிட முடியவில்லை போலும். இவர் வெங்கடேஷை வைத்து இயக்கும் புதிய படத்தின் பெயர், 'ஆடாவரி மாடலகு அர்தலே வீரலே!'

பெயர் படித்து பல் சுளுக்கியவர்கள் மன்னிக்கவும். இந்த வாயில் நுழையாத தெலுங்கு வார்த்தைக்கு அர்த்தங்கள் ஆயிரமாம். பொய்யில்லை நிஜம்! 'பெண்களின் பேச்சுக்கு அர்த்தங்கள் ஆயிரம்!' என்பதுதான் செல்வாவின் புதியபடத்தின் (தமிழ்) பெயர்!

துள்ளுவதோ இளமை சாயலில் ஒலிக்கும் இந்தப்படத்தின் மூலம் தனது ஏரியாவுக்குள் மீண்டும் நுழைகிறார் செல்வா.

எதற்கும் ஆல் தி பெஸ்ட் சொல்லிவைப்போம்!

Dhanush�s flop film makes news. How?
February 27, 2006

When a hit is remade in a different language, it is no news. But remaking a flop is certainly news. That is the news for you. Back there is Andhra, they are bringing out a dubbed version of Dhanush�s Chullan. While the cast and music remains the same, dialogues are penned by Rajasekhar. The man behind this bold venture of dubbing a flop is Nageshwar Rao of Ocean Productions. Says Nageshwar Rao: �The movie has a good story with full play of emotions. The boy has performed well. Besides, he is the son-in-law of Rajinikanth. Rajini is a superstar here also. I am sure that his son-in-law will be well received.� Whatever it is, Sindhu Tholani�s waist is sure to sell the flick.

Well, reports said that while directors such S J Surya, Cheran and Azhagam Perumal were turning into heroes, hero Dhanush wanted to become a director. Is it true? Dhanush denies: �There are already two directors in my house, my daddy and anna. I�ll be redundant. Also, my mind is in acting. I want to become a top hero. There is a long way to go before I can think of becoming a director. Is his wife, Aishwarya, interested in becoming a director? �Better ask her,� says Dhanush and escapes.

Delay for Pudhupettai
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 08, 2006]

Will Pudhupettai release on Tamil New year's day?

This is the question that is doing rounds in the industry. Directed by Selvaraghavan featuring big names like Dhanush, Sonia Agarwal and Sneha, the movie being produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers went to floors almost a year ago.

The movie was expected for a release this Pongal but could not grace the theatres as the shooting could not be completed.

Now rumors are doing rounds that the movie may opt out of the race for the Tamil New Year too.

Asked, Swaminathan of Lakshmi Movie Makers said, ' I am not sure about the movie's release on Tamil New Year day.�

But he talks very highly of the movie. Though Selvaraghavan has taken time for making the movie, one can understand it considering the fact that it has so far come out well and the scenes speak for themselves. An out and out action film with good visuals and scintillating songs is Pudhupettai'.

Selvaraghavan�s anger at the sets of Pudhupettai
March 09, 2006

The scene: shooting spot of Pudhupettai. Selvaraghavan is busy directing brother Dhanush and others. At a break, one reporter asks the director whether it was true that Sonia Agarwal was calling off the marriage. Already under pressure to complete Pudhupettai to release it on April 14th, Tamil New Year Day, the director has been running against time, forget personal tensions. He gave when irate look at the reporter and asked: �Are you married?� �No,� replied the reporter. �Then why the hell do you poke into mine?� he shouted and walked back to the sets. The poor reporter stood there stunned.

For Selvakumar and others in this thread,

Dhanush is many times BETTER ACTOR than the So-called Vijay and Ajith in the industry.

The hoarding near the American counsulate in Chennai is awesome. It reminded me of Balu Mahendra's comments on Dhanush on how powerful and expressive his eyes are.

He however needs to be more selective and avoid movies like Sullan and Devathaiyey Kanden and of course do not act in his dad's movies like the Damp squib, Dreams.

Renault, o.k lets have a discussion on this..

Very Happy

Can u list out some movies where he had displayed his acting skills truly without the assistance from selva?

IMHO, he is best in doing whatever the director displays.. selva has proved why he is capable of making even a stone to act in 7g.. the same goes to dhanush also.. A good actor should do all the roles well.. Considering his body physique and all, I just wondered how he is going to play to role of a gangster.. But I am sure selva will make him to act well.. But just laughed at the scene where he picks up the sword.

To ur info,

Ajith has already proved that playing the role of a DON is like chewing a gum.. Also, instead of plain irritating acting, he had proved why depicting emotions are always needed for an actor in VAALI. His role is Mugavari was awesome.

Raju Sundaram to direct Dhanush starrer
March 14, 2006

It seems like the dance masters are ruling the roost in Tollywood and Kollywood is following suit. After finding fame as the spineless wonder, dance master Prabudeva did not land many hits and turned to direction in Telugu. His two films so far have been runaway hits. Similarly, Lawrence who appeared in quite a few Tamil films as hero, villain and dance star has turned to direction and struck gold. Taking the cue from these two guys, Raju Sundaram, elder brother of Prabudeva is keeping aside his cymbals to take up the megaphone. There is buzz doing the rounds that the film would have Dhanush in the lead. Will Raju Sundaram deliver Dhanush from the abyss that he finds himself in now? Watch this space for more developments.

Raju Sundaram to direct Dhanush
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 14, 2006]

Joining the list of choreographers becoming directors is Raju Sundaram.

It may be recalled that the likes of Prabhu Deva and Lawrence Raghavendra are the sought-after directors in Tollywood now.

However, Raju Sundaram will be directing Dhanush in Tamil. It is a remake of blockbuster Kannada film Jogi.

Actor Rajinikanth had been to Bangalore recently and he happened to see Jogi in a theatre.

Impressed with the commercial ingredients in the movie, he has reportedly urged his son-in-law to act in its Tamil remake.

And the news is that he will do so under the direction of Raju Sundaram.

'Pudupettai' drags on
- 16.03.2006

He is shooting�and shooting�and there is no sign of it nearing completion. We refer to Selvaraghavan directing 'Pudupettai.'

Even though the shooting of 'Pudupettai' has been long completed, it seems Selvaraghavan is not satisfied. So, he plans to do one more week of shooting. This news has put butterflies in the stomach of producers of LMM.

Already 250 days of shooting has been done at a cost of 3 crores. There's still the lab fee of 90 lakhs to be coughed up and the extra week of shooting will put them in the red and in a real quandary, fear the producers.

When 4 crores have been spent on a film, even if the film runs for 200 days, it would be difficult to recover the investment, fear the producers.

But Selvaraghavan does not seem to be hearing the producers. He has just gone ahead and arranged for the extra week of shooting.

Dhanush & Simran to move into new house
- 16.03.2006

Dhanush and Simran are to shift into new homes. Before the respective families get confused, read on for the details!

After his marriage, Dhanush has been spending time between his father's house and father-in-law's house.

Since this was rather inconvenient, both the families decided to set up a separate house for Dhanush and Aishwarya. A new bungalow is being built for the couple in Poes Garden Road, with its own garden and swimming pool. The gossip is that father-in-law Rajini is gifting this to his son-in-law Dhanush.

From the time she got married, moved to Delhi and had a child, the acting bug still did not leave Simran and she has been camping in Chennai for a few days now. Being in Chennai is more convenient for Simran to discuss new film opportunities, so she has already given advance to rent a house, it is said.

She plans on an auspicious day to perform the house warming!

Nervous Dhanush, shooting and re-shooting Selva
March 23, 2006

Three hits and several flops have put Dhanush in a precarious condition. Pudhupaettai is going to be a do or die film. But Dhanush has reasons to keep his hopes. The Selvaraghavan-Dhanush pair has been a hit one. The director knows what kind of story will suit his brother and how to bring his hidden talents out. But the continuous delay of the film has worried the guy and he has impressed on his brother to release the film by April 14.

But Selva is not worried or affected about this at all. He keeps on shooting and re-shooting. Dhanush feels that he would have finished two movies by this time. If it were any other director, he could do something, but with your own brother, he can do nothing but watch helplessly. Oh brother?
_____________________________________________________

What's this DO-or-DIE and all that ??? Is Dhanush going to the border to fight some war or what ... If Pudhupettai flops, then his next film Saidapettai will become a hit .... The key is to TRY TRY TRY AGAIN !!! And not give up ...

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 27 March , 2006, 10:41

Ace director Selvaraghavan and his producers Lakshmi Movie Makers are in a big fix. The reason is that their film Puthupet has lot of similarities with Vishnuvardhan�s Pattiyal!

On the release day of Pattiyal, the trailer of Puthupet was screened during interval in all theatres including Sangam, which has also booked the film. The audiences were amazed to see a lot of similarities between the two films.

In Pattiyal, Bharath washes the blood stains from a knife in a washbasin after he kills a man, while the Puthupet trailer opens with a similar scene. Another similar scene has the gangsters sitting in a dingy hotel and having food with their family.

The hit song Poga Poga� in Pattiyal was picturised on the ECR and a private beach near Mahabalipuram. Puthupet too has a look-alike song picturised against the same background! And it seems there are nine scenes that are similar in both the films including camera angles and lighting!

It cannot get more bizarre than this with sources inside the industry and trade confirming that there are far too many similarities between the two gangster movies. So is that the reason why the release of Puthupet is being postponed? And now with Pattiyal turning out to be a hit, Selva has more reasons to be worried about!

Nervous Dhanush, shooting and re-shooting Selva
March 23, 2006

Three hits and several flops have put Dhanush in a precarious condition. Pudhupaettai is going to be a do or die film. But Dhanush has reasons to keep his hopes. The Selvaraghavan-Dhanush pair has been a hit one. The director knows what kind of story will suit his brother and how to bring his hidden talents out. But the continuous delay of the film has worried the guy and he has impressed on his brother to release the film by April 14.

But Selva is not worried or affected about this at all. He keeps on shooting and re-shooting. Dhanush feels that he would have finished two movies by this time. If it were any other director, he could do something, but with your own brother, he can do nothing but watch helplessly. Oh brother?

What's this DO-or-DIE and all that ??? Is Dhanush going to the border to fight some war or what ... If Pudhupettai flops, then his next film Saidapettai will become a hit .... The key is to TRY TRY TRY AGAIN !!! And not give up ... Smile

Selva�s thirst and producer�s qualms
March 28, 2006

Imagine shooting 2.5 lakh feet of film roll for a 35 thousand foot movie? Well, that is what directors Selvaraghavan and Dharani do. But then, the producers don�t mind for they know that they will surely be given a hit. But this time, the producer of Pudhupaettai is worried. 250 days of shooting over and Selvaraghavan wants some more. He says he is working the film to perfection. But what is the guarantee this time that it would come out a mega hit? There is one film of the genre that is already showing to full houses�Pattiyil. The producer has his fingers crossed. He hopes that Selvaraghavan will manage to pull off a fast one.

Simbhu appreciates Pudhupettai trailer

tamil.galatta.com

It is well known that Dhanush stars in the film Pudhupettai directed by his brother Selvaraghavan. The latest news about this film is the launch of the Pudhupettai trailer. The trailer was screened to many leading stars in Kollywood. Among them was Simbhu who is considered a rival to Dhanush by their fans. But the true situation is totally different, as they are good friends. Simbhu congratulated K. Muralidharan for the trailer and wished the Pudhupettai team all success. Galatta.com also wishes the Pudhupettai team all the very best!

Shreya is out from Dhanush�s Tiruvilaiyaadal
March 29, 2006

Strange, Shreya was booked to pair opposite Dhanush for Tiruvilaiyaadal and with his father-in-law Superstar Rajinikanth in Sivaji. Ever since she got busy with Sivaji, Director Boopathi Pandiyan had shelved Tiruvilaiyaadal for some time even though he had started the project. In the mean time, Dhanush got busy with his brother�s film Pudhupettai.

Now that Pudhupaettai is nearing completion they want to resume Tiruvilaiyaadal. But the question is what are they going to do with Shreya who is still busy with Sivaji. Insiders say that Shreya will be out and some other heroine like Ileana or Tamanna may come in. Let�s wait and see who will be paired with Dhanush.

Dhanush on the Road
April 06, 2006

Well, it is straight from Hollywood, Dhanush�s next film. It is not an English film but a rehashed one of Road One�NH47 (National Highway 47). The movie will be directed by one of Balu Mahendra�s assistant. Road One has already been rehashed in Hindi by Ram Gopal Verma. The producers are now taking care that Ram Gopal Verma�s Road doesn�t hit the screens in Chennai in any form�either dubbed or remade. Dhanush Pudhupaettai is getting ready for release and his Thiruvilaiyaadal is still half way, with the producer unable to find a suitable heroine.

From: Renault on Mon Apr 10 10:22:49 2006. [Full View]

Precisely Raikkonnen, that's the point am trying to make these guys understand.

The movie is more a director's movie than an actors.

Sullan was a very very bad choice by Dhanush. But PP is not. Selva Raghavan, Bala, Ameer and others are showing lots of promise like Balu Mahendra, Bharathi Raja and Mani Ratnam did two decades back.

PP is defnitely not sullan in any aspect. Be it Music, star-cast, story, crew whatsoever.

But Tirupati if it fails it will not be a big let-down for Ajith as he has a good backing from God Father and probably the most strong backing from Naan Kadavul.

If it succeeds, it is a let-down for Tamil Film industry as history will tell us that a crappy man named Perarusu has given Hat-trick hits.

Renault dude,

If u had watched JOGI, then you would not have commented like that.

Blame it on Dhanush for having chosen such a super quality movies

Dude, I can now get a clear picture of it. I never hate selvaragavan films.

But I meant the JOGI remake. Do read it carefully.

I bet even if u watch JOGI you will have the magic.

NO wonder NTR being a Perarasu fan is supporting you forgetting the context.

Dude, I know who is facing diaster nowadays.. dhanush never ever had good opening and other things..

If PP fails, it will be a MEGA AAPPU for DHANUSH..

Don't ever compare Ajith w/t Dhanush.. coz your very own statistics will come to earth.

Go to Pudhupettai straight
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, April 13, 2006]

Now you can drive to Pudhupettai easily.

Well, today India Glitz is launching pudhupettai.com, the official website of the most expected film in Tamil, Pudhupettai.

Pudhupettai. The name, if you know the place, will tell a lot about it.

Grim. Grime. Crime. Lots of heart. These are some of the images that come to the mind immediately.

And it is just the kind of backdrop that Selvaraghavan might have needed to can his labour of love. It is a tale of love, violence, greed, kindness. It is the tale of life in the city's soft underbelly. Chronicling the darker side of human mind is Selvaraghavan's forte. And he is at again here too.

The official site will give you plenty of information and downloads on all aspects of the film

Produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers, the movie has cinematography by Aravindh Krishna and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The trio has been a safe bet for many producers in Kollywood for the last couple of years.

After Thulluvatho Ilamai and Kadhal Konden, Selvaraghavan has joined hands with his brother Dhanush. In many ways, this maybe the coming of age movie for Dhanush.

Sonia Agarwal and Sneha lead the female cast.

And it is no cardboard character for them. They are intrinsic to the essential flow of the story.

Pudhupettai is life told as it is.

Pudhupettai, completed at last!!
April 15, 2006

For Producers Laksmi Movie Makers, it was a sigh of relief. The Dhanush starrer Pudhupaettai is at last completed with the breaking of Poosanikai. Though Director Selvaraghavan wanted to re-shoot this or that again, producers said it was enough. Post production work is going on now. Normally, a movie is completed in three schedules of shooting. However, they put a period to Pudhupaettai just after two schedules. Work was dragging and the producers had lost their patience.

Meanwhile, the second schedule of shooting of Dhanush�s Thiruvilaiyaadal has kicked off in Chennai. Initially, a few months back they shot some scenes and a song sequence associated with Dhanush and Prakashraj. Guess what, they are yet to finalize the heroine for Thiruvilaiyaadal!

Pudhupettai ready
IndiaGlitz [Monday, April 17, 2006]

Director Selvaraghavan has completed his long pending movie Pudhupettai. Starring Dhanush, Sonia Agarwal and Sneha, the movie being produced by Lakshmi Movie makers is creating huge expectations.

It was reported that Selvaraghavan had reshot several scenes after Pattiyal was released since both the movie dwell on the same theme (about the underworld in Chennai). Being a perfectionist, he naturally wanted every scene and frame to look fresh and new.

The re-recording works for the movie is currently on in Bangkok. The movie is simultaneously being dubbed and released in Telugu too.

Dhanush as a don is said to have given an explosive performance.

Buzz is that the movie would grace theatres in May.

`Puthupettai` on May 12?

By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 18 April , 2006, 11:36

Lakshmi Movie Makers have gently nudged director Selvaraghavan not to do any further re-shoot for their Puthupettai. So Selva and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja have flown to Bangkok to do the re-recording for the film there.

There were rumours that Selva was planning to re-shoot certain scenes as it had striking similarities with Pattiyal but now the makers have decided to tone it down. Puthupettai carries good reports and should open big as there is a lot of hype around this gangster movie.

Meanwhile Puthupettai has been sold to distributors for record price and it is the only film in recent times that Lakshmi Movie Makers will make a profit. The release date has been tentatively fixed on May 12 provided it gets through the censors on time. The Telugu dubbed version will also release simultaneously.

Now that Pudhupaettai is almost completed, Dhanush is back on the sets of Thiruvilaiyaadal, working under Bhoopathy Pandian. Till now it was suspense as to who would pair with Dhanush but it looks like the suspense will be dispelled. Insider reports say that Shreya is pairing with Dhanush and that the shooting has already commenced at an engineering college at Padur, a village on the Mahabalipuran Road. Is not Shreya the heroine of Rajinikanth�s Sivaji? Yes, she is but then she has accommodated her call sheets for Dhanush too. Funny, morning she gigs with Dhanush�s father-in- law and in the evenings, she does romantic scenes with Rajinikanth�s son-in-law!

Selva and Thunderbird,

What do u guys think.. a man with a slim body-frame can't be a DON or what?

Better than ridiculing someone without watching the movie.. why dont we wait and see Dhanush's performance and comment later.

Am not in support of Dhanush here. All I am doing here is to make u guys understand that a character's physique need not be a point for a DON role.. it just takes Guts and that's about it.

If you watch closely in pudhupettai trailor, Dhanush seems to be the type who kills and sprouts dialogues like he is mad about thiruvallavurar...his expressions also seem quite good.

The movie itself dwells very closely on the udnerground life and it is even more specific than nayagan...maybe it is not really the same as Pattiyal as this is completely a gangsta movie through and through...kudos to selvaraghavan for depicting a realistic gangsta movie..

Nope.. I didn't mean that one as a genearl case. IF u look at the movie of RUN VILLAN - DABU, YOU CAN figure out that for playing the role of a DON we don't requier a well-built body. But we require more things like AN ELEMENT - BEING MAJESTIC, and portraying the symbol of CRUELTY ETC

But when I went thought the PUDUPETTAI trailor, I can see the GREAT WORK OF SELVA. BUt when I saw the sickle picking sword of Dhanush & that too without any required body language, I couldn't stop laughing. If u look at PATTIYAL, YOU CAN GET A CLEAR IDEA OF THIS. JUST WATCH ARYA'S ROLE IN THAT MOVIE. He will be using the same sword. But he portrayed the SHARP GUY. I got the impression just be seeing the trailor itself. Whereas in pudupettai, it was not there. And referring that as DON is something

Laughing

coz DON >> is a HIGHER VERSION MAN.. if u look at movies like BAATSHA, NAAYGAN ETC you will understand the MEANING OF A DON.

Renault wrote:

I referred that scene only.. and it reminded me of his SULLAN days. Though it is a selva movie, I couldn't stay away from correlating that with his previous movies. To be honest, Selva movies will rely on the script more than the main character. So, putting the TAG DON FOR DHANUSH MIGHT LOOK AWKWARD FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE ENJOYED THE LIKES OF BAASHA, NAAYAGAN ETC. I havenot seen the movie. But if they portray him as a DON (MAJESTIC) then sure you can't expect him to come up with that. (REfer the post of Alien)

Is it true? Check your post again.

I do agree with u that for playing the character we don't need physique. A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE WOULD BE RAGHUVARAN WHO PLAYED THE DON ROLE IN BAATSHA. But WHAT IS REQUIRED MORE IS >> EXTRA ELEMENT CALLED -- BEING MAJECTIC -- WHICH COMES FROM AGE, BODY LANGUAGE, ACTING EXPERIENCE AND SKILL...

HOpe you got it.

Pudupettai is all set to rock Telugu too

Selvaraghavan has a good name in Telugu after his 7G Rainbow colony�s success in Telugu as 7 G Brindavan Colony. So, his latest venture Pudupettai is dubbed and released simultaneously as Dhoolpet in Andhra.

Laskshmi Movie makers has earned a good profit in selling the Telugu rights. Tollywood distributors have paid a handsome price since the film has Sneha and Yuvan�s music which nowadays is rocking Tollywood too. Meanwhile, Selva has decided to direct a straight Telugu movie with Venkatesh in the lead. The film is titled Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule, meaning �there are 1000 meanings for women�s talks�.
This will be Selva�s first Telugu film and it is a realistic, natural love story. They say he liked Venkatesh and felt that the actor�s potential in this kind of look has not been explored. They also say the movie is certainly a commercial one

Pudhupettai ready
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, April 22, 2006]

Selvaraghavan's Pudhupettai, which is finally completed will be gracing theatres next week. Meanwhile, plans are on to dub the film and release it in Telugu.

Dhanush's hour of glory
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, May 06, 2006]

Dhanush is in all joy now. His long-pending Pudhupettai is ready to hit the theatres now. Adding more, the lean actor is all set to become dad this year.

Dhanush married Aishwarya, daughter of Rajinikanth almost a year ago.

Aishwarya, sources say, is in the family way and the baby is expected when Sivaji, a movie featuring Rajinikanth, is most likely to make it to the theaters.

Things seems to be going in right direction for Dhanush this year. Not just his Pudhupettai was completed, his Thiruvilayadal, a movie being directed by Boopathy Pandian, went to floors.

Let's hope the arrival of a new member in Dhanush's family brings him more luck.

Puthupettai - PREVIEW

By Moviebuzz

It is going to be a long, hot summer in Chennai and this season sees the onslaught of exciting big-budget, high concept extravaganzas, all vying for the blockbusterhood.

Noted director Selvaraghavan after a hat trick of hits- �Thulluvatho Illamai�, �Kathal Kondein� and �7-G Rainbow Colony� takes a look at Chennai�s mean streets and chronicles the life and times of a small time gangster �Kokki� Kumar (Dhanush).It is said to be based on the Brazilian film �The City of Gods�.

The tagline of the films says it all- �Survival of the fittest�. Kumar is a young boy who grows up in difficult surroundings, and circumstances force him to become a local don who is the right hand man for politicians and top people.

Selva has tried to make a Quentin Tarantino style dark and foreboding gangster drama with Yuvan Shankar Raja�s innovative music and background score. For Selva it is an important film as Dhanush�s career depends largely on the box-office performance of the film.

Sonia Aggarwal and Sneha play the female lead. Sonia is Dhanush�s wife while Sneha is a commercial sex worker. Lakshmi Movie Makers produce this gangster movie with Aravind Krishna is the cameraman.

Quote:

It is said to be based on the Brazilian film �The City of Gods�.

Then it should be a lousy adaption like ghajini! There is no way one can make COG in tamil. That was a terrific movie. And based on the previews and the trailer, I dont think that PP is an adaption of COG. There are atleast 5 pivotal characters in COG and I just see dhanush in PP.

Good for PP and the viewers!

It is ready
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, May 16, 2006]

Pudhupettai is a gangster's movie but with a difference, says director Selvaraghavan.

The director who was tight-lipped about the project until the shooting was completed a few days back, says all the actors and actresses have given an excellent performance. Sneha and Sonia Agarwal in particular deserves a special mention'.

He says Pudhupettai was very demanding. It consumed more time and work. However, I am happy with the way the movie has shaped up, he adds.

Produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers, the movie features Dhanush, Sneha and Sonia Agarwal.

Sneha essays the role of a commercial sex worker in the movie.

She says, 'it is a brilliantly crafted role. I had no hang-ups doing it and I think I have given my best. Now its up to the viewers to decide.'

Music is scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, editing is by Kola Baskar and the dialogue is written jointly by Balakumaran and Selvaragavan.

Get ready to welcome Pudhupettai on 19 May.

There were no visual cuts but some dialogues with bad language have been edited out. Those who saw the film are simply raving about it and say that it is the most realistic gangster movie ever made in Tamil. The gangsters of Chennai, their modus operandi and how a small time goonda transforms himself into a top politician have all been captured realistically.

Whether it comes this Fri or next Fri, it's sure to come with a BIG BANG !!!

Dhanush� Unwilling to claim favours in the shadow of Rajini
Behindwoods.com

He became an overnight star riding on the success of two consecutive films. Thulluvadho Ilamai and Kadhal Kondein made Dhanush a hot selling star. His rates soared and following Thiruda Thirudi it meant that he could not go wrong at all. People who ticked him off as a one-film wonder or a home banner tiger, grudgingly acknowledged that he had good potential to be a top actor. Yet, Pudukkottaiyilirundhu Saravanan and Sullan were miserable flops and many were gleeful to write him off.

The guy meanwhile got married to Aishwarya, daughter of superstar Rajnikanth. He maintained a dignified determination and has been persevering to complete two projects, Puduppettai and Thiruvilaiayadal. Puduppettai would release soon and its dubbed version, Dhoolpet would be released in Telugu.

Speaking on the occasion he said that he had great hopes from Pudupettai and hoped that it would mark his long innings in Telugu as well. He praised the Telugu audience for being faithful to movies and giving right encouragement. He felt that he was unconventional in every aspect and would have become a marine engineer if his father had not persuaded him to take up acting.

He was also happy to be known as superstar�s son-in-law although he felt that it would be wrong to claim any favors just because of that. He wanted to establish his own identity and he was sure things would turn his way soon. He also disclosed the happy news that his wife, Aishwarya was in the family way and there would soon be Junior around. Superstar is happy.

While Dhanush concedes that he may not have great physique or drop dead looks, he was good at emoting and dancing and he was sure these skills would see him through. The guy is quite excited about the release of Pudupettai and Aishwarya�s pregnancy.

Good luck, mate!

`Puthupettai`- Terrific opening!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 24 May , 2006, 12:27

The advance booking for Selvaraghavan�s Puthupettai is amazing. All tickets for opening weekend have been sold out at the four huge screens in Chennai as the film releases on May 26 Friday.
Puthupettai craze has gripped the city with everyone wanting to see the film in the opening weekend itself. Says Munikaniah, manager, Sathyam Cinemas: �It looks like Puthupettai will take a bumper opening. We are sold out till Monday in spite of having extra shows during weekend�.

Says K.Meenakshi Sundaram, Manager, Mayajaal multiplex on East Coast Road: "It's unbeleivable advance booking mainly students for the film. We are having eight shows daily"

It is amazing as the film has no superstars and its hero Dhanush is really not hot. But it the brand Selvaraghavan and Yuvan Shankar Raja that is doing the trick. A lot rides on Puthupettai as the Chennai distribution rights has been snapped up by �Albert� theatre Mariayappan for a record Rs 1.07 Crore, the highest ever paid to a non-superstar film.

Does this mean that Selva is a superstar? Watch this space.

"Pudupettai" has many firsts to its credit - the hindu

"Pudupettai," starring Dhanush, Sonia Aggarwal and Sneha, is the first Tamil film to be released in the Super 35 mm format.

Unlike conventional film, the Super 35 mm format allows for a larger image area, as the space for the soundtrack is also used. This helps in packing in more details in the frame, and hence for a better viewing experience.

The movie, directed by Selvaraghavan for Lakshmi Movie Makers, also has some amazing special effects, done here by Prasad EFX. Scenes worth looking out for are the fight sequence in the mist and the fire extensions.

Director of photography Aravind Krishna said that movie will be a very different experience as great attention had been paid to detail. "It has some intensive matt-based colour correction, and also altered colour tones for different scenes and moods." The movie has been mastered in the digital format. Hence, it is easy to reproduce it into either the digital or negative format required for exhibiting in different theatres. The whole soundtrack and the music for the movie was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja in Bangkok. This is the first time the Chapraya Symphony Orchestra of Bangkok features in a Tamil movie. The music director was composing the tunes in Bangkok, they could be heard live in Chennai. This was made possible by Nag Ravi of 3G Digital Solutions Inc, who provided the solution to broadcast the same over the Internet from Bangkok to Chennai. Swaminathan, one of the producers, said, "I am happy that the movie has embraced new technologies as they heighten viewing experience."

Mohan Krishnan, Head of the Corporate Communication says that Prasad EFX has all the new technical know-how under one roof in Chennai.

"Pudupettai" is the first film to be digitally projected by directly scanning the negative at 2K resolutions and converting them to digital projection format.

Pudupettai Review from Sify..

Selvaraghavan’s highly anticipated Puthupettai is heartbreakingly disappointing and is nowhere in the league of his earlier films. Why does it disappoint? It starts with a bang but doesn’t unfold quickly and moves at snail pace, puffs and pants with too many characters and subplots and too long for a gangster genre for 176 minutes, nearly three hours. We expected a more chilling, hard hitting, and racy film from the director.
Where Selvaraghavan falters this time is storytelling something that worked well in his last two films. Here it’s hyperkinetic, complete with jump cuts, freeze frames, in your face camera, leaps back and forward in time and a wry, self conscious narration that takes most of the time.

The story is about the life and times of a meek guy ‘Kokki’ Kumar (Dhanush) a poor slum boy who runs away from home after his father, a small time hoodlum who kills his mother. Facing starvation and loneliness, he starts begging on the streets before he accidentally gets involved with a gang that sells narcotics. The gang leader Anbu runs the area with an iron hand with the support of a local party leader (Azhagarperumal).

Kumar slowly learns the ropes and is helped by Ravi to sharpen his skills as a hit man. However, Kumar develops a soft corner for Krishnaveni (Sneha), a prostitute in a brothel run by Anbu. He wants Anbu to leave her alone which leads to a tiff between them and in a fit of rage, Kumar kills Anbu and takes over as the gang leader. The rest of the film shows his rise as the gang leader and henchman for a political party.

The problem with Puthupettai is the characterization of ‘Kokki’ Kumar for whom we neither sympathize nor are we able to be part of his anguish and ruminations. The story does not detail his growth in the crime empire but instead the focus shifts to his personal life in the second half. Too many clich�d sentiments mar the proceedings. Normally in Selva’s films, there are some lighter moments but here it’s far too morbid.

There is a lot of blood and gore with violence against women like Krishnaveni getting battered by Anbu, the mother of Kumar brutally killed, Kumar proudly walking on the streets with the head of Anbu, people being killed like flies, buried alive, close-up’s of bruised faces and blood spewing like fountain! We wonder why Selva chose aruvaal as the weapon used by Chennai gangsters in these days of guns and pistols?

Of the performers, Selva has made the film for his brother Dhanush. Physically agile, a bit loud Dhanush pours plenty of heartfelt emotion to his role but lacks the menacing look need for the character to look convincing. Sneha is the scene stealer as Krishnaveni and her quite dignity in the face of tragedy is well-etched out. She has been able to get the emotions and mannerisms of a street walker correctly. And pray why was Sonia Agarwal in the cast? She has nothing much to do other than give her usual sad look.

Azhagamperumal as the suave, smooth talking politician is a revelation and the rest of the cast are all impressive. Yuvan’s music and background score is definitely the real winner though the Oru Naalil… sung by Yuvan himself and the pick of the album is missing in the film. The camera of Aravind Krishna is top notch as it effectively captures the grim Chennai underworld. The use of Super 35 camera is one of the highlights of the film especially to show the close-up’s of the main characters.

You simply would not associate Puthupettai as a Selvaraghavan film. The first half was promising but post interval, the film collapses. It was too much fret and fury about nothing.

Verdict: Average

Movie Review
Pudhupettai - Love layered with violence
IndiaGlitz [Friday, May 26, 2006]

Why is there a sudden glut of gangster movies? The answers to this simple question maybe many. But the fact of the matter they make for interesting plot lines and captivating cinema.

Puthupettai, though not top-of-the-line, is an interesting attempt to get to the heart of those who inhabit the nether, dark world, which the mainline city forgets and tries to push it under a collective carpet.

Selvaraghavan, who knows how to throw a flashlight on the darker side of human nature, does it here too. He gets to the heart of the violence, and in doing so he also unravels the universal truth that kindness and killer instincts are just a breadth away from each other.

Puthupettai, in terms of cinematic novelty, falls on predictable lines. But individual performances, lead by the highly talented Dhanush and Sneha, along with the technical whiz of Yuvan Shankar Raja and cameraman Aravind Krishna, make Puthupettai very much watchable.

The movie is about the rites of passages in the life and times of an everyday-man who ends up as a dreaded gangster. Kokki Kumar (Dhanush), the traumatized youth runs away from his home as his dad kills his mother. He ends up in the big bad world of a city on the move. The city accepts him through the arms of a local politico (Azhagarperumal). The gang under him is into all sort of dark deeds ---drugs, women, murder. Kumar runs into Krishnaveni (Sneha), a conscientious sex worker. As it happens, he falls for her charm, and goes to the extent of killing his own boss in a murderous tiff. So Kumar becomes the ganglord. And now it is all rise for him. The denouement is interesting as it has some interesting twists.

Dhanush as the innocent boy who transmogrifies into a bloody criminal is utterly believable. The subtle changes in his body language and his ability to give every expression a deeper meaning make the character more interesting. This is certainly one of his better performances.

Sneha as battered and bruised prostitute is a revelation. She is precise and poised in her portrayal. Azhagarperumal as the politico gives the right amplification to the evil politico. Sonia Agarwal has nothing much to do.

The film's two pillars have been Yuvana and Aravind Krishna. They have always been sources of inspiration to Selva. They have not let him down this time too. Super 35-camera innovation is worth a watch. The moods and moments are rightly created by Aravind.

Puthupettai is utterly real. Too real and stark, for some. Selva as usual gets to the nub of things pretty shrewdly. The only failing of the movie maybe that there are too many gangster movies around. But that is not Selvaraghavan's fault.

Go watch it, if you want to see love under the layers of violence.

Seems gd judging by this!

The run time is around 3 hours and the first half moves at rapid pace and the second half was bit dragging .But the climax is good its seems

The film starts like several 70s crime novels.But,the song however(enga area...)is irrelevant&of illogic for schoolboys.Pitiably,he then becomes a dropout and begs.I still don't know why +2 student is being called kokki and all.Queerly he enfixes himself in an lsd group&then the baseline comes to play-THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.Selva has done a lot of work on titbits-the splendid metaphoring of showing the sun in comparison:in the clouds,in ditches during downfall& rising,scorching during his consolidation.Even the newspapers concept was fairAlso sneha,the gangsters,politicians have done a decent job.Dialogue by balakumaran is in one word marvellous.perhaps it's why at instances reminds nayagan,baatsha,etc.The fim has bankrupcy in story,editing.Who is kolabaskar?He should have surely yawned for about half hour after the interval.Howsoever the slapping feature is reality&violence.Via media sex has been handled almost in a brutal course.Especially in scenes of sneha at mahabalipuram,the sonia/dhanush first night etc. show the lady screaming in pain, and the like which made the father nearly close his daughter's eyes!The blood nearly reddened and flooded the theatre-probably it was big budget due to paint.Though flawful the climax and minute details make the feel of sheer truth blowing,music is handled exquisitely due to the gene of ysr.Sonia falls or fails.some scenes should have been carved-the bombing of dhanush's residence,the video of the politician's daughter etc.I couldn't realise the idea behind the likes of interrupting scenes like poor handycameramen would have helped.Camera-top class,nutshelling.To me if this film would have been 150 minutes
it would have been like a fitting door to a bungalow,now it is oversize in every detail.Songs are very good except for the fact that oru naalil could have been included anyway cutting the unwanted bloody,i meant bloodshed scenes.(if this would have been played by ajith before dheena or the kamal of sikappu rojakkal,it would have been another nayagan atleat a cheaper nayagan-this is my own statement)Thus,a good but not a better selva film.

marks:49/100,especially attributing to the climax.

Pudhupettai Gets Gate Crashing Opening!!!

Opening big
IndiaGlitz [Friday, May 26, 2006]

Selvaraghavan's much anticipated Pudhupettai today (Friday) opened in all theatres. Starring Dhanush, Sonia Agarwal and Sneha, Pudhupettai as expected opened to packed houses all over Tamilnadu.

Almost all the tickets were sold out in advance booking, while a huge crowd was witnessed in suburban theatres where the movie was released this morning. A tensed Selvaraghavan hoped that audience would welcome his work, which is different from his earlier movies.

For Dhanush, it is a do or die movie for his recent releases took a beating at the box office. The movie also opened simultaneously as Dhoolpet in Telugu all over Andhra Pradesh and incidents of gate crashing was reported in several areas.

Trade Fact So far::: TREMENDOUS OPENING!

From: Hulkster on Sat May 27 0:31:01 2006. [Full View]

I watched the movie and i think i guess why these people could not grasp the movie.

Simply because selva delved into a different side of a gangster...his feelings and sentiments about life while being a gangster. Let me tell you that the story is very realistic and they dunt just show what he does a gangster like the vettu this and that. They show two different sides of a gangster and that itself is innovative. Dhanush and Sneha were excellent and the BGM complimented the story well. Its not common to see sentiments being used in a portrayal of a gangster's life and that itself is what makes the movie very believable and great.

If you people were expecting another gangster tale of just vettu there and here then it just shows how we really see movies...

Yes. We know sify has some soft corner to Vijay. However I am not sure whether they will really say a very good watchable movie as bad. In this review also they have mentioned the plus points along with negative aspects.
Everyone will be having different opinions on the movies.
Overall there are some movies in this year which was accepted by many if not all, as good movies.

For eg the movies..

1. Thambi
2. Chittiram paesuthadi
3. Thiruttu payalae
4. pattiyal

were mentioned by many as good movies. Is really sify gave negative reviews for these movies. Just wanted to know. Not really sure abt that.

I don't think Sify has a soft corner for Vijay...they have bashed his films before...Sivakasi got a good review from all corners because frankly from a Perarasu film, the expectations weren't high. Sify is very critical and brings out every trivial detail....which is ok I guess if u want an accurate review...But still it's better to see the film...I think the PP is prolly much much better than Sify is giving it credit for.

For CM , MX , sify's verdict was ,watchable for CM & bumpy ride for MX , which was quite accurate

From: Renault on Sat May 27 23:17:36 2006. [Full View]

To an extent, I agree that Sify is kind of biased slightly. Taking Pudupettai for example, they have bashed dhanush. Dhanush in my opinion has given a superlative performance in the movie.

Selvaraghavan has tried lot of different things in this movie and has come out successfully as well. Since most Selvaraghavan fans are used to his gloomy climaxes, Pudupettai climax may find difficult to convince people, but in the long run it will hopefully succeed.

In my opinion, I found lot of convincing aspects in the movie than the unconvincing ones. I will be standing attorney for Selvaraghavan to explain to my friends whatever misgivings they might have on this movie.

Yuvan and Arvind Krishna rocked in this movie. The best asect is that it is heartening to see Yuvan climbing up and he has taken lot of cue from Ilayaraja's mastery in BGM, i.e in giving silence in necessary areas.. noisy BGMs could have spoiled PP's chances.. as it is already a lengthy movie.

I will be shortly posting a detailed review in my blog.

Guys go watch it if ur a real movie buff cuz this product of Selvaraghavan is of high art. Very very realistic and it shows a different side of gangsters not shown in tamil movies before. The character of Kokki Kumar is no ordinary masala hero where he does only good. Here it portrays the real side of human life which goes well with the theme "Survival of the Fittest".

Selvaragavan in his chat with Sify.com said "My hero �Kokki� Kumar rises from the shadows using his brain more than brawn." But he doesn't seem to justify this statement in this movie, rather u can see danush using more brawn than brain.

What I was trying to say is that the movie is booked for 1 whole week inadvance in all areas with 2 many prints. Its natural that they will recover the cost if not a huge profit.

I think the theme survival of the fittest really fitted the movie it really shows what a man has to go through living in those sort of area and the movie was marvellous would recommend everyone to watch certainly the best movie of 2006 thus far....This movie really shows that tamil movies have indeed improved alot...we need more young blood like selva...But only downside of the movies is that i thought it was really an anti-climax

Saw the movie yesterday.

To be honest, I agree with that SIFY review 100%..
First half had the usual selva touch.. But second
Selva fails this time. The usage of the songs in the film was

If u want to know what is reason behind the failure of this film:

IN one word:

"vaRuNgaLa MudaLvar Vaazhga" and that to towards Dhanush

Dhanush fitted the role in the beginning.. hardly (some 1.5 hours).. After that, esp in the second half, I couldn't control myself.

Slept for some 10 mins.(sonia-dhanush episode)

What was satisfying more was: SNEHA's top class performance inthe role of a professional sex worker..

I was into tears yesterday after this movie. One of my favorite director selva fails this time

& KH song.. I was dying to see that.. but that lasted for 1.5 minutes.

P.S: This is a movie which requires a huge tranformation over time.

like KAMAL in Nayagan.. smooth transition from a oridinary lean person into a majective DON.

Selva fails to deliver this time.

IMO, Dhanush looks like a +ve point in the movie till first half. second half he eliminated the previous +ve one and turns it as a -ve one.

esp.. THE ENDING LOOKED TO ME LIKE "SULLAN" ... Vatta seyaLaaLar kokki kumar..

AGain.. "VaRuNgaaLa mudaLvar Vaazhga"

Dhanush RAjinikku mappillai thaan. Athukaaga..

Actually Selvaragavan has tried to show a new trend by showing the way Danush married Sonia. What an easy way to marry a girl whom u like. Has any director attempted this before? Also Sonia's reaction after the marriage during the 1st night scene was so unnatural. She failed to show any type of emotions. Wonder why was she there in this film?In this aspect I think Sneha had done a gud job.

Selva i think that maybe selva trying out a different type of showing the life of gangster makes u feel abit hard to accept just like the others...as i said selva's touch is the usual realism which shows from the start to the finish. This movie is very realistic as you can actually see the transformation from a normal schoolboy to a gangster and the feelings within the gangsters about life..their sentiments...the second half gives us a better in depth view and detail about leading a gangster life and what it can actually do to your life and ur family. I guess the sudden show of sentiments and a very unusual climax in a gangster film is what puts people off. That is what happens when we get used to watching only violence and the usual gangster climax and when we get to watch films which are extremely realistic like pudhupettai we cant accept it...

As for the varangaala mudhalvar part...i think your looking it outside the movie point of view...selva is showing how a gangster becomes a politician and how he embraces the dark side of politics...so such chants and comments are normal...it is not for dhanush..it is for the character and we cant just see who is the actor and not like it...dhanush fitted the role perfectly and he proved acting makes up for physique...and his body language was excellent...if he can groom himself better he might...reach the heights kamal reached as a character actor...

Three years back, I suddenly sat up in my friend�s car in a drive-in theatre, as a frame showing a white Jesus statue with blood-tears made a shock appearance in the middle of a song. I turned to my friend seated in the driver�s seat. He was looking at me. He had caught the moment too. The film went on to be quite ordinary. But the images caught in a multiple mirrors, the slow arson background as the puny hero climbed down a drainpipe and the blood-tears Jesus stayed with me. This isn�t the movie, but this chap will one day make a good movie, I thought that day. After Puduppettai I say the same.

Puduppettai has several good parts. The grim opening murder, �� ú�, Balasingh recounting the one punch murder on Dhanush�s bedside, the scene where Dhanush takes Sneha for the first time, the first aruvaal fight sequence, Sonia�s scheming cold suggestion in the shower and Dhanush being challenged in the crowd in the party office and many more. But these were fine pieces distributed randomly across a meandering script. Somewhere in the middle it stops looking natural and becomes contrived and flow is artificially maintained. On the whole it was a disappointing show. Selvaraghavan seemed to have gone for suavity rather than substance, a la Gautham Menon

The movie is completely predictable. You know Dhanush is going to kill the big boss and become the don, you know he is going to be unparalleled in his ambitiousness, there is no surprise when the Dad and his friends are bumped off. You know the same fate shall befall the challenging goon. The only surprise in the whole film is murder in the marriage hall green room. The one punch-muder was powerful but by no means a surprise.

The humour is well sprinkled and natural. After inquiring how much money he makes, the father declares�� 측� ��Ք. It is such delightful lines sprinkled all over that evoke laughs. The training session, the gangster�s obsession with biriyani, Dhanush expressing his disappointment with Mani in the marriage hall room are other examples. But as the movie progresses the humour gets very contrived. Dhanush passing comments on his aide�s hacking skills outside the discotheque is one such example.

Umpteen climaxes �.I thought he was going to be hanged, then I thought he�d be bumped off by the rival gang, then I thought he had gone bonkers when he was attacking the scarecrow (if Selvaraghavan was going for a philosophical scene here he ended up with silly instead) and then in a one-hero-takes-on-several-aruvaal-fight (a let-down compared to the earlier fight, but they�ve tried to salvage it with the novel colouring). I was wrong all the time. I had to wait longer for an extremely boring murder/suicide which was preceded by a last-wish meal and drink (again was not as riveting as he might have intended it to be). The punchline was a politician�s double-speak. How extremely surprising !?!? For all its naivete I now like Aayitha Ezuthu better (something I�d belived I�d never say).

The songs seemed thrust in (unlike 7G) and the dancing made it move away from the story. For all its choreographic galore �� â¡� was an exercise in artificiality sandwiched between two natural scenes. Even �� š¢ɢ� was woefully underused. It did not carry the tension and punch that the audio had. The movie could have really done with fewer songs and more of that really good background score.
When the mates bid Dhanush farewell and leave we hear : ��츢 �� ¡�� . This is said off the frame. Why does it need to be said ? Perhaps to indicate what a great loss it is to the rowdy profession !? The idea was to tell what each character is going to do and (worse still) why one does what he does. And it is said verbally. This absolutely inconsequential line is reflective of many of the problems with the writing of this film: an attempt to resolve everything. Every character is bursting explain itself. Everyone has a justification an explanation which is thrust on the audience.

When Mani gives the baby back it is absolutely unnecessary to say : ��  š�쨸�� ɡ �� blah blah�. It was like going back to the Sivaji days where people wore their lungs out talking.

�� â�� ȣ��......�� 츣�� is Sonia starting off excellently raising your hopes.
When Sonia gets sharp-tongued in the shower I was hoping the movie would sit up and stop sagging but it proved to be one-off. She is wasted too. Moral instruction and I-was-thinking-of-him-all-the-time and verbally explaining her revenge�.. omigod what a complete lack of ideas. The only thing missing was Sonia not laughing in P.S.Veerappa style. And the last straw is the end slide that tells you in words what happened to Sonia. And dugbbing is not Anuradha Sriram's line . This is the second film she has messed after dubbing for Kiran in Anbe Sivam.

Yes the politicians are self-centered and shallow, they use and throw. You know that from the start. When Dhanush is washed off the party, taken back in and washed off again and then finally joins another party, none of it hits you with shock. So the climax is a damp squib.

Good parts were few and far between. Subtlety was well nigh absent. Even a scene that starts subtly (a teary puffed cheek Sneha) devolves into something completely on the surface (like her breaking down into sobs relating in precise words what her expectations are). This may be Sneha�s best performance yet (and even best ever). But that doesn�t mean it is an outstanding performance. Dhanush is the single dominating performer in the movie: mindblowing in parts and downright artificial in others. After a point his shouts reminded one of Sullan.

The real low was the amateurish scene near the dustbin. It starts with an irritatingly long monologue by Dhanush. How can a nice line like: �� ܼ �� 츨ħ be said alongside an extremely trite self-pitying �á�� ɡ ��. The moral rectitude of the poor is as old as the hills and the immediate adoption by Pasi Satya is quite silly. I was scared we would get back to the days where at the end of the credits we hear the director�s words in voice-over: �� Ӿ�� Ũ�...� and end with his signature.

Quit when ahead and don�t meander in your screenplay is a rule he didn�t learn from 7G; perhaps because 7G was a success. Perhaps Puduppettai might succeed too and I have to wait again for the movie I am expecting Selvaraghavan. But I won't book first day tickets next time.

சமீப காலமாக நிறைய ரவுடிகள் (ஆறு, பட்டியல், கொக்கி, சித்திரம் பேசுதடி) பற்றி பேசும் படங்கள் வர ஆரம்பித்திருக்கின்றன. கமலின் அற்புத நடிப்பில் நாயகன், ரஜினியின் ஹீரோயிசத்தில் தளபதி, பாட்ஷா போன்ற எவர்கிரீன் படங்களும் இவர்களைப் பற்றியதே. இந்த படங்களுக்கும் புதுப்பேட்டைக்கும் ஒரு முக்கிய வேறுபாடு ஹீரோயிசம். பொதுவாக ஹீரோக்கள் ரவுடிகளாக இருந்தாலும் அவர்கள் நல்லவர்களாகவும் (நாயகனின் பெரும்புகழ்பெற்ற "நாலு பேருக்கு நல்லத நடக்கும்னா எதுவுமே தப்பில்ல") குறைந்தபட்சம் கருணை உள்ளம் கொண்டவர்களாகவும் ஏழை மக்களின் துயர் துடைப்பவர்களாகவுமே காட்டப்படுவார்கள். செல்வராகவன் இந்த இடத்தில் வித்யாசப்படுகிறார். தனு‍‍‍ஷை எந்த விதத்திலும் நல்லனாக காட்ட செல்வா பிரியப்படவில்லை.

படம் யுவனின் கலக்கலான "எங்க ஏரியா உள்ள வராதே பாடலுடன்" ஆரம்பிக்கிறது. சத்யம் தியேட்டரின் DTS ல் தியேட்டர் அதிர்கிறது. 12 படிக்கும் தனுஷ் தன் அம்மாவை அப்பா கொலை செய்ததை அறிந்து விட, தன்னையும் அப்பா கொன்று விடுவாரென்று வீட்டை விட்டு ஓடுகிறார். இந்த இடத்தில் மொத்த தியேட்டரும் (நானும் கூட) அப்பாவை தனுஷ் கொன்று அப்பாவி பையனிலிருந்து ரவுடியாகுவான் என ‍எதிர்பார்க்க எதிர்மாறாக பயந்து போய் (பயத்துல ஒன்னுக்கு வேறு) வீட்டை விட்டு ஓடுகிறார்.

பின்னர் வயிற்றுக்கு பிச்சை எடுக்கிறார் (அம்மா தொண்டையுல ஆபரேசன் - நல்லாருக்கு). தொடர்ந்து போலீசால் பெரிய ரவுடிக் கும்பலுடன் சேர்ந்து (தவறுதலாக) கைது செய்யப்படுவதில் ஆரம்பித்து மெல்ல ரவுடிக் கும்பலுடன் ஆரம்பிக்கிறார். தனுஷ் சோப்ளாங்கி ரவுடியாக இருந்து மெல்ல பெரிய ரவுடியாவதை செல்வராகவன் நன்றாக காட்டியிருக்கிறார். நிறைய ரசிக்கும்படியான காட்சிகள் குறிப்பாக தனுஷ் எதிர் கோஷ்டியிடம் (ஆளுங்கட்சி அரசியல்வாதி ரவடிக் கும்பல்) மாட்டிக்கொண்டு தப்ப முடியாமல் சுவரில் தொங்குவது, ரவுடிகள் தனுஷுக்கு ரவுடி வகுப்பு எடுப்பது போன்றவைகள்.முற்பகுதியின் கடைசியில் சினேகாவின் மேல் ‍கொண்ட ஆசையினால் சினேகாவுக்காக தன்னை வளர்த்து ஆளாக்கிய ரவுடிக்கும்பலின் தலைவன் அன்புவைக் கொன்று அந்த இடத்திற்கு தனுஷ் வருகிறார்.

பிற்பகுதி கிட்டத்தட்ட 90 டிகிரியில் கதை ஓட்டம் திரும்புகிறது. இடைவேளைக்கு அப்புறம் முழுக்க முழுக்க ரவுடியிசமும் அரசியலும்தான் (ரவுடி - அரசியல்வாதி - போலீசு என்ற புகழ்பெற்ற முக்கோண உறவு அல்ல). கொல்லப்பட்ட ரவுடித் தலைவனின் தலைவன் ஒரு எதிர்க்கட்சி அரசியல்வாதி. முதலில் தனுஷை அலட்சியப்படுத்தும் எ.க. அரசியல்வாதி பின் தனுஷை பழைய ரவுடி தலைவன் இருந்த இடத்தில் தனுஷையை நியமிக்க (வியாபாரிகளிடமிருந்தும், குட்டி ரவுடிகளிலிருந்தும் ஏரியா வாரியா பணம் வசூலிப்பது) அடுத்த நொடியே திரை விலகி ‍ஒரு பொதுக்கூட்டத்தில் தமிழில் எ.க. அரசியல்வாதி பொளந்து கட்ட, செல்வராகவன் டச்?.
ஏற்கனவே தனுஷ் ஆ.க. ஆதரவு ரவுடி கும்பல் தலைவனின் சினிமா ஹீரோ ஆசைகொண்ட தம்பியை போட்டுத்ள்ள ஆ.க ரவுடி தலைவனின் ஜென்ம விரோதி ஆகிறார். இந்த இடத்தில் வரும் "கூடப்பொறந்த ஒரே காரணத்துக்காக சினிமாவெல்லாம் எடுக்க வேண்டியிருக்கிறது" என்ற வசனம் செல்வராகவன் தனுஷ் சகோதரர்களை நினைவூட்டுவதை தவிர்க்க முடியவில்லை.

நண்பனின் தங்கை (சோனியா அகர்வால்) திருமணத்தை தாலி எடுத்துக் கொடுத்து நடத்த வரும் தனுஷ் அவள் அழகில் மதி கெட்டு அவளுக்கே திடீரென்று கட்டுகிறார் (புல் பேசும் பாட்டின் காலையில என்னாகும் அட கல்யாணம் யாருக்காகும் வரிகளுக்கு இதுதான் அர்த்தம் சாமியோவ் - கொடுமைடா சாமி). இந்த காட்சியை ஜீரணிக்கவே முடியவில்லை ஆனால் தான்தான் எல்லாம் தான் வைத்ததுதான் சட்டம் என நினைக்கும் ஒரு ரவுடி தான் ஆசைப்பட்டதை அடையும் மிருகத்தனம் இது என மெல்ல புரிகிறது. இங்கு ஆரம்பிக்கிறது தனுஷ் என்னும் ரவுடியின் சரிவு. பின்னர் சிநேகாவையும் திருமண்ம் செய்து முன்னமே உருவான குழந்தையையும் பிறக்கிறது.

ஓவராக ஆட்டம் போடும் தனுஷ் எம்.எல்.ஏ ஆக ஆசைப்படுகிறார் (இந்த இடத்தில் ஒரு அட்டகாசமான யுவனின் குட்டி பாடல்) எம்.எல.ஏ. சீட் கொடுக்காததில் எ.க. அரசியல்வாதியை முறைத்துக் கொள்ளும் தனுஷ் இப்போது எதிர்கட்சி அரசியல்வாதி ஆளுங்கட்சி அரசியல்வாதி என இரு பக்கமும் எதிரிகள். இதில் சினேகா கொல்லப்படுகிறார், குழந்தையை இழக்கிறார். பின்னர் ஆ.க அரசியல் ரவுடியை எதிர்க்க தனி ஆளாக போய், நிறைய பேரைக் கொன்ளறு, ‍நிறைய கத்திக் குத்து பட்டு, பின்னர்.... பேசாமல் படத்தையே பார்த்து விடுங்கள். (அப்பாடா கதையை சொல்லுவதற்குள் மூச்சு வாங்குது).

தனுஷின் அருமையான நடிப்பை சொல்லியே ஆக வேண்டும். குறிப்பாக எம்.எல்.ஏ சீட் இல்லை என்றதும் எகிறுவதும் கட்சி அரசியல்வாதி ஆசிட்டை தனுஷ்மேல் ஊற்றும் காட்சியில் தனுஷிடம் தோன்றும் பயம் படபடப்பு. ஒல்லியான தனுஷ் ரவுடி கேரக்டரில் பெரிதாக உறுத்தல் இல்லாமல் ரசிக்க முடிவது செல்வராகவனுக்கு வெற்றியா? தனுஷுக்கு வெற்றியா?.

படத்தின் பெரிய டெக்னிகல் பலங்கள் இசையும் அரவிந்த் கிருஷ்ணாவின் ஒளிப்பதிவும். கிளைமாக்சில் தனுஷ் இருளை கிளித்து வருவது போன்ற காட்சியில் ஒளிப்பதிவு திகில்பட எபெக்ட் கிடைக்கிறது. எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித் ஒரு நாளில் பாடல் இல்லை என்றாலும் வரும் மூன்று பாடல்களும் (கமல் படித்த நெருப்பு பாடலுடன் சேர்த்து) வர்றியாவும் பட்டையைக் கிள்ப்புகின்றன. பின்ணனி இசையும் நன்று குறிப்பாக தனுஷ் முதலில் திருப்பி அடிக்கும் இடம்.

ஒரே டிக்கெட்டில் இரண்டு படம் பார்த்த திருப்தி மற்றும் அலுப்பு. எனக்கு முதல் பாதியை விட இரண்டாவது பாதி பிடிக்கிறது.
எனக்குப் பிடிக்காத இன்றைய அரசியல்வாதிகளை தோலுரித்துக் காட்டுவதினால் இருக்கலாம்.

Another review

Pudhupettai: powerful, ruthless, spectacular

When was it last you saw a gangster movie in Tamil? Pattiyal, you say? That was about contract killers. I'm asking you about a gansta' movie. When was it last that you saw a movie which reached out from the screen and hit you hard in the face?

Want to savour both those experiences in a bit over three hours? Go watch Selvaraghavan's Pudhupettai (whichever way you want to spell it: Pudupettai, Puthupettai, புதுப்பேட்டை)

The movie is about an adolescent who is driven to the world of crime because of circumstances, and his rise and rise in the underworld. It shows us that promising Dhanush who went AWOL since Kaadhal Konden. Kudos to him for choosing to get back to his brother for that badly-needed hit, and more kudos to Selvaraghavan for extracting the very best out of his brother.

With his physique, Dhanush might not convince us as the perfect gangster, but his acting -- boy, he's simply poured his heart into this movie. He has put in such a riveting performance that the jury for the State Awards can tell themselves they won't see a better acting performance this year.

The movie depicts reality in all its gory glory. It's long, mind you, well over 3 hours. And the story just keeps unfolding. Personally, beyond the 150-minute mark, I kept peering into my watch telling myself, "Oh, please, let this movie not end." And that's because each scene has been handled with utmost care. So much that one cannot say which is the best scene in the movie. Each scene clashes with every other scene in the fight to be called the best.

The background score is brilliant; top marks to Yuvan. Arvind Krishna's camera work is magical. Every actor has chipped in with a good performance. In fact, the person sitting next to me quipped once, "How do they spot these actors? They are so natural, and so very good." Sneha has put in a good performance. The same cannot be said about Sonia Agarwal though; but her screen presence is limited, and the characterisation is weak.

The only real spoiler, if you ask me, is the last ten minutes of the movie. There is a point in this film (just as Pasi Sathya departs) where the credits should have come up, and the audience would have left with a heavy heart, and in absolute praise. But the three ensuing scenes dilute that effect, and make you wonder, "Why did they do this? Why spoil the experience?"

However, if you choose to overlook the last ten minutes, I think this movie deserves a perfect ten! A movie like this, I have not seen before in Tamil. At least not since Dalapathi!

Pudhupettai is not a modern classic; it is a modern epic!

ஒரு வழியாக வந்தே விட்ட புதுப்பேட்டையை, பார்த்தே விட்டேன்.

மகாநதிக்கு, கல்கி இதழில் விமர்சனம் வந்த போது, கமல்ஹாசன், கல்கிக்கு விமர்சனத்துக்கு நன்றி சொல்லி ஒரு கடிதம் எழுதினார். " I normally donot show emotional reactions towards film reviews, but i take an exception in this case. Mahanathi was made by honest intentions and not by clever thoughts" என்று துவங்கும் அந்தக் கடிதத்தை, கல்கி பிரசுரித்திருந்தது.

அப்ப, புதுப்பேட்டை?

ஒரு ரெண்டும் கெட்டான்.

கதை?

சந்தர்ப்ப சூழ்நிலைகளால், வட சென்னை இளைஞன் ஒருவன், தாதாவாக ஆகும் கதை. �ப்ளாஷ்பாக் உத்தியிலே துவங்கும் இக்கதை, சென்னையின் சேரிப்பகுதியில் வசிக்கும் இளைஞன் கொக்கி குமாரின் ( தனுஷ்) பள்ளி வாழ்க்கை, சொந்த அப்பாவிடம் இருந்து உயிருக்குப் பயந்து ஓடி, பிச்சை எடுத்து, கஞ்சா கடத்தும் அரசியல் ரௌடியிடம் எதேச்சையாக சிக்கி, படிப்படியாகத் தொழிலைக் கற்றுக் கொண்டு, கொலை செய்து, அரசியலுக்குள் புகுவது வரையிலுமான வாழ்க்கையை படம் பிடிக்கிறது. அப்பாவியான ஒருவன் இப்படி தாதா ஆக ஆகும் கதைகள் ஏராளம் வந்திருக்கின்றன என்றாலும், இந்தப் படம் முக்கியத்துவம் பெறுவது, அதை எடுத்த விதத்தினால் தான்.

மாநகராட்சிப் பள்ளியில் படிக்கும் குமார், அப்பா செய்யும் கொலையைப் பார்ப்பதில் இருந்து, எப்படி, நிழல் உலகத்துக்குள் வலுக்கட்டாயமாகத் தள்ளப்படுகிறார் என்பதை சொல்லும் ஆரம்ப கட்ட காட்சிகள், மிகவும் உக்கிரமானவை. நிஜத்துக்கு மிக அருகில் இருப்பது போன்ற தோற்றத்தைத் தருபவை. சேரி அரங்க அமைப்பும், பாலியல் தொழிலாளியாக வரும் கிருஷ்ணவேணீயும் ( சினேகா), வசனங்களும், தனுஷின் நடிப்பும், பாத்திரங்களின் பேச்சு வழக்கும், இந்த நம்பகத்தன்மையை அதிகரிக்கின்றன. காட்சிகளின் யதார்த்தம், பல சமயம் நம்மை உறைய வைக்கின்றன. காட்சிகள் கட் செய்யப்படும் விதமும், ஒளிப்பதிவு நேர்த்தியும், தனுஷ், ஒரு தேர்ந்த அடியாளாக படிப்படியாக மாறுகின்றதைக் காண்பிக்கும் திரைக்கதை உத்தியும் அற்புதமாக இருக்கின்றன. இப்படி போய்க்கொண்டிருந்த கதை, இடைவேளைக்குப் பிறகு, 'தொபுக்கடீர்' என்று கவிழ்கிறது. சோனியா அகர்வாலுடன் அதிரடித் திருமணம், சினேகாவுடன் இன்னொரு திருமணம், குழந்தை, அரசியல் என்று அங்கே இங்கே சுற்றி அலைகிறது திரைக்கதை.

அரசியல் தலைவராக வரும் அழகம்பெருமாளின் , ( டும்டும்டும் படத்தை இயக்கினாரே, அவரேதான் ) நடிப்பும் பாத்திரப்படைப்பும் சொல்லும் படியாக இருக்கிறது. அதே போல சினேகாவின் நடிப்பும். காட்சி அமைப்பும், அந்தப் பின்புலத்தின் நுட்பமான விஷயங்களும் அசர அடிக்கின்றன.

செல்வராகவனிடம் சரக்கு இருக்கிறது என்று ஏற்கனவே ஒத்துக் கொண்டாயிற்று என்ற நிலையில், இது போல, half baked attempt இலே, கவனம் செலுத்தாமல், திரைக்கதையிலே இன்னும் கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டும். ஏகப்பட்ட கதாபாத்திரங்கள். எல்லாரும் நீளமான முடியுடன் பரட்டைத் தலையுடன் வருவதால், யார் எவர் என்றே புரிவதில்லை. தனுஷின் characterization உம் அத்தனை எளிதில் விளங்கிக் கொள்ள முடியாது. சினேகா, சோனியா அகர்வால் தவிர பெண்பாத்திரங்களே கிடையாது. ஒரு காட்சியில் நீளமான முடியும், அதே காட்சியின் அடுத்த ஷாட்டில் குறைவான முடியுடனும் தனுஷ் தோன்றி, continuity என்ற விஷயத்தைப் பார்த்தார்களா என்றே சந்தேகப்பட வைக்கிறார்கள். ஆரம்பக் காட்சிகளிலெ தனுஷின் நடிப்பு நன்றாக இருக்கிறது என்றாலும், போகப்போக, முந்தைய படங்களில் செய்தது போலவே செய்து போரடிக்கிறார். அதே antics, dialogue delivery, mannerisms, புதுசாக ஏதும் இல்லை.

அரவிந்த் கிருஷ்ணாவும், யுவன் ஷங்கர் ராஜாவும் மட்டும் இல்லை என்றால் இந்தப் படம் என்ன ஆகியிருக்கும் என்று யோசிக்கவே பயமாக இருக்கிறது.

Hulkster,

If you has to understand the realism in the movie, then let me describe it in this way

"Selva had tried hard to prepare a HALF-BOIL. In this process, he had come out with a FULL-BOIL which is nothing but HALF-BOILED FULL BOIL"

Scene which lacks Realism:
---------------------------

1) No Gangster in the world will reach the peak of DON just by killing an orinary local Gang-lead. IT must happen in steps.
Just imagine a movie like NAYANGAN which portrays the transformation of a YOUNG MAN > MIDDLE AGED MAN > OLD MAN with MAJECTIC element associated.
Selva fails in this case. It looked to me as if I am watching SULLAN.. esp when the opposition party leader chooses KUMAR in place of Murthy. Realistic way

2) No girl on earth will accept the sudden marriage.. / forced marriage. The scenes b/w Sonia - Dhanush looked artificial except the one mentioned by PR. A girl will commit suicide (worst case) if that happens to her or atleast she won't say dialogues like "NaaN NeeNNu Nenachuthaan ............" (if she maintains the fear)

3) IF Dhanush murders the GANG leader (Anbu), then do u think that the other men in the gang will choose that person as the LEAD? esp.. a person whom they rate far below.. (& those who have more experience)... esp.. that MANI character.

4) The dialogues that happen b/w ALL GANG LEADS (esp one person acting opposite to Dhanush) and others accepting him..
Do u think all GANGSTERS will be as stupid as DHANUSH's allakkais?

---------------lot more--------------

DHANUSH:
---------

The character needs sound BODY LANGUAGE which Dhanush lacks.
This one needs HUGE VARIATION IN BODY LANGUAGE, MANNERISMS over time

Just look at his expressions when he throws the baby in the DUST BIN:

"eNNa appannu oru thadavai koopi." Just imagine how a middle aged GANGSTER will behave in this case?

His dialogue delivery fails to meet the expectations of a GANGSTER.. Just take that scene in which DHANUSH addresses towards the GANG LEADS.. It was like RK IN BAATSHA addressing towards the GAng leadS

புதுப்பேட்டை
நடிகர்கள்: தனுஷ், சிநேகா, சோனியா அகர்வால்
இசை: யுவன் ஷங்கர் ராஜா
இயக்கம்: செல்வராகவன்

புதுப்பேட்டை - Survival of the Fittest. படத்தின் முதல் பாதியில் 'மாநகராட்சிப் பள்ளியில சந்தோஷமாப் பட்ச்சிக்கினிருந்த கொக்கி குமாரு' எப்படி ஒரு fittest தாதாவாக உருமாறுகிறான் என்பதைப் பிரமாதமாக, யதார்த்தமாகச் சொல்லியிருக்கும் செல்வராகவன், படத்தின் இரண்டாம் பாதியில் அவன் அரசியல் ஆசைகளுடன் அந்தக் களத்தின் எப்படி survive ஆகிறான் என்பதைச் சொல்வதில் போட்டு சொதப்பி எடுத்திருக்கிறார். அதிக எதிர்பார்ப்புகளுக்கும் தனுஷின் மறு எழுச்சிக்கும் ஆப்பு வைக்கும் விதமாக இருக்கிறது படம்.

படத்தின் நிறைகளில் முதலிடம் வகிப்பது யதார்த்தமான பின்னணியும் அதற்கேற்ற வசனங்களும். ஒவ்வொரு கட்டமாக தனுஷ் குற்றங்களில் நிபுணத்துவம் பெறுவது - கஞ்சாப் பொட்டலங்களைக் கைமாற்றுவது, முதல் 'கையெடுக்கும்' அஸைன்மெண்ட் - இப்படி ஒவ்வொன்றாக அவர் முன்னேறி ஒரு கட்டத்தில் தன்னை வளர்த்துவிட்ட தாதா அன்புவைப் போட்டுத் தள்ளி அவரது தலையோடு வெளியேறித் தன்னை establish செய்து கொள்வது வரை பட்டையைக் கிளப்புகிறது. தனுஷ் ரொம்பவே உயிரைக் கொடுத்து நடித்திருப்பது என்னவோ உண்மை தான். எதிர் கோஷ்டியிடம் கடுமையாக அடி வாங்கிய பிறகு அவர் உயிர்ப்போடு ஒரு அடி திருப்பி அடிக்கும் காட்சியில் தியேட்டரில் கைதட்டல்களுக்குப் பஞ்சமில்லை. தன் தாயைப் பற்றிக் கண்கலங்கிப் பேசும் காட்சிகளிலும் உயிர்ப்போடு செய்திருக்கிறார்.

படத்தின் நிறைகளில் அடுத்தபடியாக சொல்ல வேண்டியது யுவன் ஷங்கர் ராஜாவின் இசையும், சில பாடல்களின் சுவையான படமாக்கலும். பின்னணி இசையிலும் யுவன் ஒரு 'இளைய' ராஜா என்று இந்தப் படத்தில் சொல்ல வைத்திருக்கிறார். நெருப்பு வாயினில் பாடலில், மகாபாரதப் போர் ரேஞ்சுக்கு தனுஷும் அவரைக் கொல்ல வருபவர்களும் கத்தியை சுழற்றிக் கொள்வது மட்டும் பொருந்தாமல் இருக்கிறது.

படத்தின் நிறைகளில் அடுத்து சொல்லக் கூடியது அரவிந்த் கிருஷ்ணாவின் ஒளிப்பதிவும், காட்சிகளைக் கத்திரி போட்டு ஒட்டிச் சேர்த்த விதமும். சில காட்சிகளின் முடிவைக் கண நேரம் கண்முன்னால் காட்டி மாற்றி விடும் அதே கத்திரி, சில காட்சிகளின் முடிவில் கொஞ்ச நேரம் தயங்கிப் பார்வையாளனின் கண் வழியே உள்ளத்திற்கும் புகுத்தி விட்டே அடுத்த காட்சிக்கு நகர்கிறது.

படத்தின் மிகப் பெரிய சறுக்கல், சோனியா அகர்வாலின் கதாபாத்திரமும், தனுஷ் அவர் மீது ஆசை கொண்டு செய்து கொள்ளும் திருமணமும். சோனியா அகர்வால் பாத்திரம் இல்லாமல், தனுஷின் அரசியல் ஆசைகளை மட்டுமே கொண்டு சென்று படத்தில் இதே முடிவை எட்டியிருக்க முடியும். செல்வராகவன் உச்சகட்டமாய்ச் சொதப்பியிருப்பது இந்த மண்டை காய வைக்கும் காட்சிகளையே.

சிநேகா ஒரு பாலியல் தொழிலாளியாக இருப்பினும் தனுஷ் அவர் மீது பெரிதாய் காதல் மாதிரி ஏதோ ஒன்று ஏற்பட்டதாலேயே சேர்கிறார் என்பது போல் முதல் பாதியில் காட்சிகள் பில்டப் செய்கின்றன. ஆனால் சோனியாவுடன் முதலிரவு முடிந்த பிறகு தனுஷ், பெண்ணோடு சேர்வதில் உள்ள சுகத்தையும், மன அமைதியையும் பற்றி தனது ஆட்களிடம் நீளமாய் லெக்சர் அடிக்கும் போது, இதையெல்லாம் அவர் சிநேகாவிடம் உணரவேயில்லையா என்ற சந்தேகம் எழுந்து, அவர்களது உறவின் foundation கடுமையாக ஆட்டம் காண்கிறது.

தனுஷின் அரசியல் ஆசைகள் மூலம் இன்றைய அரசியல் சூழலை நுட்பமாக நையாண்டி செய்யும் நிறைந்த காட்சிகள் இல்லாமல் இல்லை. (முதலில் இருக்கும் கட்சியில் உரசல் வந்த பிறகு, தனுஷைத் தங்கள் கட்சியில் இணைந்து கொள்ள பல கட்சிக் காரர்கள் வருகிறார்கள். அதில் ஒரு கட்சியின் பெயர் 'வா.வா.போ.') But Selvaragavan takes a long time to come to his point. அதை மட்டும் தவிர்த்திருந்து, இரண்டாம் பாதியில் இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் வேகத்தைக் கூட்டியிருந்தால் மிக சிலாகிக்கத்தக்க படமாக புதுப்பேட்டை அமைந்திருக்கும்.

பேட்டை மட்டுமே இருக்கிறது. 'புது' missing.

I mean.. compared to the ordinary commercial movies,selva's movies were more realistic (till PP).

Selva is not overrated. He is underrated manytimes..

If u can't appreciate Dhanush's performance.. I wonder whose performance.. u will ever appreciate.

May be I need to check your comments on the great Kamal Hassan's performance in VV.

In my opinion, Dhanush has climbed great steps in the ladder of acting.

Anyways, I respect your opinion, and expect an award for Dhanush for Pudupettai.
From: Sanjeevi on Mon May 29 12:17:14 2006. [Full View]

I think, the highlights of the film are

* Dialogs

* Smart humour scenes without any comedy track by any comedians

* Dhanush's performance

* Azhagam perumal (Politician), Sneha and others acting

* Music

* Cinematography

* Never seen before Gangster/Politics scenes

Just I would change the order to give Music and Cinematography some more edge.
From: Sanjeevi on Mon May 29 12:25:25 2006. [Full View]

Minus points

1) Sonia agarwal charecterisation

2) Dhaush's sudden marriage with Sonia which is not digestable

3) Super hit songs did not used. (Selva would
had been used "Oru naalil" song as Dhanuh's introduction and had been moved the "Enga Area" song after Dhanuh's ganster leader achievement as said by Selvakumar above)

4) Too late release. Before PP, serious of Gangster movies was released (Pattiyal, Kokki, Thalainagaram, SP).

It seems selva is a dynamic creater and he has changed scenes while middle of the shooting or anywhere. Thus PP has come out as a not full-boiled movie.

True A_A. But the movie starts off very realistically (ignoring Enga Area) raising your hopes only to dash them. Which is why the artificiality and people talking reams and reams of dialogues, leaves a bad taste.

As far as overrating goes, it is true in Kollywood about everyone except ......

Smile

. So one always has to use a different yardstick and comparing the movie with the average stuff that passes for 'good film'. In that regard, I still believe Selvaraghavan is someone who will one day make a good film.

Sure...Compared to his performance in movies like SULLAN etc this one is lot better. (esp.. his performance in the first half)

But what about his performance in the second half. IT is not that selva has spoiled the second half. It is Dhanush who has spoiled it ..(Not his part.. But his body language and physique and dialogue delivery)
If he is coming out with really good performance, then I will appreciate it and accept it.

Just Imagine.. how much work that KOKKI KUMAR character needs. IT must grow gradually and should be refined till the end. Lot of variation should be portrayed in the body language and other things. Dhanush lets us down in this case. It is not that I cannot appreciate his performance.

Just take a closer look at his acting... esp in the ending..

Imagine someone who are as good as him in playing the role.

IMO, A person like ARYA could have done lot of justice to do the role by varying the GETUP over different points of time.

Dhanush's character remains the same in everything:

* in the school boy role
* begger role
* Small vagabond role
* Growing GAngster role
* Father of a child

Just coz of the fact that dhanush has given a nice performance in the first half, that doesn't mean that I must hail him without pointing the negative aspects.

We have seen PERFORMANCES LIKE NAYAGAN, PATTIYAL ARYA, etc.. That's why we say that compared to that Dhanush must have done lot more better (atleast by having a look at the past)

This is the truth.

selva amchi,
i agree with ur opinion that arya mightve done a far better role as a gangster.but can arya do the role of a school boy?arya looks a bit too old 2 play a school boy.im not saying dhanush's performance was superb.but i feel-comparing his previous performances-this one is his best.i liked his acting in only 2 movies-KK and PP.selvaraghavan always brings the best out of his brother.

Rangit machi !
I agree with you. Compared to his previous performance (till date), he has come out with the best in PP. (if not the best as far as the movie and character is concerned )

I agree with the fact that it won't be possible for Arya to do the role of a school boy. But if we take PATTIYAL, Vishnu made it a separate part and handled it with others. so that he won't face problems in the next part.

But Dhanush appears in the school boy get up just for a few minutes. But he revolves aruond the gangster life throughout the movie.

Selva should have conentrated on the maximum rather than the minimum one required.

May be.. he could have extracted from Dhanush something to come up with which will depict him as a middle aged person (father of a child, politician etc)

Sad to note that PP is attracting a lot of negative press.But I agree with PR when he says 'Over rated'&'under rated'are relative words&Selva is one director whom I like despite what happens to PP.

BTW,I have not seen the movie but will def watch it.

And Yes,agreeing with PR again,a very provocative Icon.

Is it a retaliation against that idiot who spewed nonsense in the 'Comments'section of your blog?

Cinefan, Nice to see you back .. !

Very Happy

I also like SELVA very much. He is one of the best directors in the recent times. Infact I rate him above people like Bala.

Smile

But in PP, He had tried out something different which has not worked in the way he might have expected !

The first half has the usual selva touch. Second half drags and selva fails there ! Not sure how you might feel after seeing the movie.

But is is very good in the first half.. and in the second half it is the reverse

i saw the movie today..

its just a gr8 film.. though it was draggin in the second half.. it cant be narrated better..

if some scenes with sonia and snegha are cut.. it will become a huge HIT...

dhanush must get a appreciation and a award for this like filmfare or state award.. remba kastap panni irrukaan..

yuvan and arvindkrisha shine.. selva didnt let me down.. with gripping first half.. 20 min can be cut from the film to make is gud..

I agree with you on Selva being better than Bala.

Ppl might have objections to the kind of plots he takes up&the way he narrates them but he has good control on the medium&has a flair for writing screenplays.

Am surprised how he goofed in PP but am reserving comments till I watch the movie.

Exactly ! The themes of selva are controversial. But he manges that well and comes up with the best. All his three movies are sound examples for that.

His screenplay is something which people dare to do. I think his screenplay deals with how best one can pack feelings and emotions in the whole narration. PP won't disappoint us in this case.

The goof committed by selva in this case can be:
* The way he had adopted the character of KOKKI KUMAR as a politician rather than a mere gangster.

Anyhow, I am waiting for your comments. Let me wait for your review

Disagree.

Sonia signals the beginning of his fall. The sudden marriage is a manifestation of the omnipotent feeling he has. "��ɡ� �� ɡ �� ¡ ��¡" as he tells his guru in the green room.

The (overdone) scene abput marital bliss tells us about his longing for an escape beyond his present circumstances. This is shown as the motivation for his political ambitions. Remember, he says:�� 󨾦��ġ� ��..��
when asking for the MLA seat.

That said Sonia's character was indeed underdeveloped. There were a few sparks of hope but after that it collapsed. So I think the role should have been written better not done away with.

`Puthupettai` limping!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 31 May , 2006, 09:20

Selvaraghavan�s gang war epic Puthupettai has been badly bruised at the box-office. Except for Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai, the film is sliding alarmingly all over Tamilnadu.

The Telugu version of the film Dhoolpet is a total washout and will not even recover the cost of its print and publicity! The main problem with the film is that lady and family audiences are just refusing to go and watch the film due to its excessive violence.

AXN Action Awards In Tiruchi, Madurai, Salem and Tirunelveli areas Puthupettai fell on the second day itself. The distributors and theatres who paid huge MG�s are likely to lose about 60 to 70 percent of their investment.

The trouble with the film is that it had too much blood and gore and the audiences were clueless about the happenings in the climax. Producers Lakshmi Movie Makers have chopped about 16 minutes of the 176 minute film, but theatres in south Tamilnadu liberally edited off 35 minutes of the second half!

An enterprising theatre owner in Tiruchi area has butchered the climax and ends the film where the policemen escort Dhanush from the prison!

Enna penuruthu pa...it is a topic to be addressed within the whole of tamilnadu..they are still not open to such scenes...and considering that families make up the largest amount of audience together with mass audiences...that alone can destroy or ressurect a film..heyramku vantha gathiyae ithukkum thaan...but truth remains that this is a very good movie and that it might go for a award..

If a man's wife doesn't have the stomach to see Pudhupetai, fine, it's her choice, but the problem comes in when the husband doesn't go to the movie just because his wife doesn't want to either.

Very True Surya ! very true !

here ppl dont say that when my wife doesnt come, i too wont come ! but if a wife may really have a tough time to sit along with her hubby to see such a movie !

it really happenned surya, when i was sitting in the theatre, a couply were sitting beside me ! the guy n the gal literally had to keep their hands on the forehead ! and after 20 mins, they left the theatre... probably the second half may have being good ... but i enjoyed, the intro and the first song ... enga area ulla varaadha ...

It is different, no doubt about it ! but there is a limit n showing realism too ! I am critic to scenes like cutting rani's throat n blood oozing out too in Hey Ram!beating of Nasser in Kurudhi Punal ...... that might be realism ... but need not be explicitly shows !

but even children happens to see movies, u will be able to filter wats good n wats bad ... they will not !
this is how we embrace certain unnecessary things saying that it is new and untouched ! Tis better we dont touch n feel these things !

Dear, DTS can make u even feel any damn scene ! i liked that first song just for the DTS effect it had ! The time when sneha shouts when the first time they r n bed, when she shouts when she is beaten by tat guy .... man ... these things really break ur nerves when shown out n DTS !

am a critic to that movie only for portraying ladies n certain ways, which may not be expected from a class director ! n not about Dhanush or his so called heroic activities !

if the audience dunt feel ok by it..it shows they can feel the realism.. Smile

..sadly it is accepted in a negative manner...

Wat man ... i again n again say that, realism feeling is not needed when u see it on a big screen .... if that has to really affect u ... say ... do u need to really feel sitting there how it does feel when somebody is a pros ... no noT necessarily ,... there are so many other good things yaar ! why this !? do u say, ppl are goin to stop goin to such ppl if these are shown n theatres ........

Shocked

! Is that is his intention ..... ?

when you make such movies..intha mathiri realism ellam thevai..especially if ur gunning for a award...hollywood films and Heyram, Kurudhi Punal to a certain extent did this...so its reasonable to expect the same realism in pudhupettai...if we have to make films to suit the tamil audience...im afraid we might not be able to really show our class..

Sadly to say ... really not necessarily ... make ppl feel good about good things yaar ! why this ? if he wants to give a message to the society ... then seeing this -> is this the way politician is ? is this the way ppl treat pros? is this the way a goonda comes up ?
if that is the case ... sorry boss ! we still are the ppl who welcome all these !
We still make those ppl GOD, we still make pros grow, we still fear those ppl !

Vasanth,
I don't agree with your comments regarding HEYRAM. See, KH was walking on the KNIFE EDGE with that story. Yet he came up with the realism under its minimum level.

I think that for a story like HEYRAM, KH should have portrayed some other cruel things too. (coz the story deals with the bloody idiotic violence that happened in Kolkata). I think that RANI - throat cutting scene was pretty low in power to portray the realism. Actually, We know what happend during those riots. Even more brutal rapes, killings etc. Am I right ?

I agree with your comments on PP. Those Sneha scenes could have been avoided or kept low. esp... that yelling. It was not at all necessary for this story. (IMO)

But we must find the root cause for this. We must blame on sensor board for this. See, FOR A MOVIE LIKE "GUNA" THEY GAVE "A" certificate. whereas for PP they have given U/A

He had really taken care of things ... even this scene comes for a flash of a second .... many would not have noticed ! even this film had Rani shouting, but they were lil carefull putting that in background, and really reducing the tone ... still that had an effect ! Selva, definitely that scene and the illusion he had while taking bath, are bound to sarcasm ! her throat was slit basically bcoz of her shouting .... he immediately would have his hands to stop that bleeding, but the blood coming out as a fountain could have avoided, coz am telling u BLOOD n real life really disturbs anybody ... but still he could have avoided that !

Ys brutal killings did happen, but taking that completely on screen shld have been avoided ! seriously blood has an effect on ppl, even when tis shown on screen ! he is forced to reduce the level of intensity, coz he knows tis not good for the screen ! without purpose, he did not reduce it ,. right ?

BG...those scenes are needed to show how a prostitute suffers..to the commoner it might be unnecessary and overdoing it..but thats if ur looking from your own entertainment point of view..to tell you the truth i did not enjoy it when i was looking at it as entertainment..but looking it from the storyline point of view..to highlight the emotions and pain suffered by the prostitute is really a diff attempt by selvaraghavan....most of the stories like arangetram showed how woman are changed into prostitutes..but the pain is highlighted very minutely..but here the effects and the ordeal gone through by her is brought out effectively by Sneha and Selva's characterisation.

As for realism..imagine she does not yell when she is having that....where is the logic and realism in that...for us it may be a relief in avoiding that...but remember that a story must be realistic and not go mundane when highlighting such scenes...women undergo pain when they are doing that and especially prostitution which is in a way rape...where you can actually feel their pain and screams..this is what is being shown here and i applaud Selva for that.

As for Awards...such scenes may not be necessary if the story does not need it..but if the story needs it(yes it needed..remember that highlighting gangsterism in its process also involves nightlife)...you need to go into detail and at the same time maintain the movie's gritty pace to highlight the scenes...we just cant say we dunnot want this scene because its disgusting or its too much...in that case perarasu films should be good cos they are entertaining and do not show this details.

A even more detailed point is that the sexual scenes in this movie only stop with the touching...hollywood movies go much much further...in that way i dunt think theres any provocation or disgust in that...when you want to show a story like it really happened..the pain..the emotions..the effects..the commonities that happened..such things are needed and you need to atleast show some logic or realism in that to make it appeal to the critic.

But as i said..theres a huge gulf of difference between how we view it..some will look it from the story and screenplay point of view..some from their own entertainment...mine is of the former. I really liked this treatement of gangster films cause this really made me feel a gangster's life besides pattiyal and the others...maybe what indiaglitz said is true..it is too realistic for its own good.
From: Hulkster on Wed May 31 4:56:57 2006. [Full View]

I also would like to state i do not appreciate such scenes for my own entertainment...but i when i relooked it..it made perfect sense to me that the story needed it...rather than looking from our own perspective or entertainment..we need to look at the story of how it really comes...as in the visualisation by the director...the thing with tamil audiences is they are adverse to such explicit showing of scenes..in love films and porn films..certainly not needed..but films like heyram and pudhupettai...yes...the censor should identify which movies need such scenes and which should not...if they too were to look it from their own personal view and not from the storypoint...many movies will be downgraded because of the story making not sense due to the removal of such scenes...but if the movies do not really need it at all..it is perfectly alrite to take away such scenes

Pudupettai � According to trade circles!!
If a movie is in the long time making, increasing the budget and raising the expectations of all concerned, then it is bound to bomb at the box office.

This has been the lesson �Pudupettai� has taught its makers. It overshot the budget being in production for more than a year, kept the fans in delicious anticipation, and left them disappointed more than ever with the final product. The movie, despite a hectic opening, is now fast becoming an embarrassment for the director and a disaster for the producers.
The film is technically brilliant, the background score is terrific and the acting from all artistes is overall good. But where have the things gone wrong?

One major reason for why �Pudupettai� has not been received well could be attributed to its timing. The film has arrived right in the midst of a overheated �rowdy� season. So many movies, from �Aaru�, �Pattiyal�, �Chitram Pesuthadi�, �Thiruttu Payale�, etc have all the same theme of putting the anti-social types on the spotlight. The viewers can�t be blamed if they are clearly fatigued by the glut of such movies.

Added to this is the violence that is depicted in the movie which surely has not helped its cause.

From the first few days� attendance at the theatres, it looked like most of Dhanush�s fans belong to under-20 youth wing of Rajini Fan Club and the movie, despite its directorial effort, is not likely to pull in family audience.

�When so much violence, blood and gore are there, how can you expect a family audience for the film?� asks one distributor. �From �Chandramukhi�s phenomenal performance, it should be clear to anyone that only family audience movies become great hits.
How can you just bank on a section of audience for a big project like this?� This has been the view echoed by many distributors.
Another reason for �Pudupettai� not going down well with the fans is its treatment. The film makers, these days, glorify the anti-hero through out the movie, but at least, have enough sense to kill him off in the climax, just to satisfy the sensibilities of the viewers. In �Pudupettai� � where the protagonist becomes more and more despicable as the film progresses - even this concession is not given!

It is said that Selva, right from the beginning, has wanted this movie to be his magnum opus and hence has not compromised with either the length of the movie or the budget.

This has led to the fans complaining that the second half has been made without any songs and this makes the movie much longer than it actually is.
KasthuriRaja & Selva Raghavan Most of Selva�s earlier movies have become successes solely because they reflected the aspirations of the front-benchers but this movie seem to be even beyond their wildest dreams. Seeing �7 G Rainbow Colony� you get hope that you can get a girl even if you continue to stalk her, but seeing a wiry �Kokki� Kumar, slashing everyone�s throats on his way to becoming a dreaded gangster, is stretching credulity a bit further even for a die-hard Dhanush fan.
The industry watchers feel considering the high productions costs of the movie, even if it was a hit, the film would have barely recovered the costs for the producers. But, the movie not picking up now, would only mean terrible losses for everyone associated with the project, feel the trade circles.

Selva, for long considered to be the director of B-grade flicks by the critics, has proved to them that he is a serious director who knows his craft and this only augurs well for the Tamil film industry and one can expect better offerings from him to come in future. But for now, one can only feel sad that his present fare has fallen flat at the altar of the mighty box office.

IF it has to be onething that turned out as a negative point then it is the hero DHANUSH (Selva has failed in choosing the right man for this character IMO)

The dialogue "KOODA PORANTHATHUKKAAGA CINEMA PADAM ELLAM EDUKKA VENDI IRUKKUTHU".. Is this a straight reflection of selva's feelings on Dhanush ? (just kidding)

but it will just keep our discussions goin on !

i would like to ask, are scenes made for storyline, or STORY itself is made for certain scenes ?
B-Grade movies do not have scenes for STORYLINE, they are STORY for scenes !

do u welcome the realism in all HULK ?

think twice before u answer !

Scenes are meant to display the storyline...neva the other way round...scenes mean screenplay..and screenplay means narration...so that means its for the story...marupadiyum yennodeiya pointai padinga..if story doesnt require certain scenes...like love padathulae sex scenes..then it must be taken off and it doesnt display realism...but pudhupettai remember deals with such things and thus it is required...in this case there is realism in portraying such scenes...maybe people might have seen the yelling as unnecessary and not needed...but for me the yelling seems reasonable as its actually showing the pain...selvaraghava is known for really going into detail and that is what he has shown here...maybe the yelling may be not good to hear from a entertainment point of view but what is the use if we take it out?...we are only trying to hide our disgust rather then see it from the storyline point of view.

Guys yelling does happen in sex or rape....in reality girls do yell even louder than that if sex is forced upon them...i agree that it is rape...but to say that it should not be included is abit too hasty..let me highlight the scene.

At first when Dhanush visits sneha...he is not into sex and just gives her the money...he is still feeble and the old dhanush...but after killing the brother of moorthy...he becomes abit more savage and his minds becomes to change...not only that..he also changes his viewpoint upon other things like on sneha....maybe if he had just had asked sneha to sleep with him it would have showed his change...but maybe selvaraghavan wanted to show the dhanush change in character abit more effectively and also the sudden roughness in his mind to make him rape sneha...as for the yelling as i said...when you do have sex or rape a girl...they do yell...and i cant see why it is unnecessary unless we are looking it from our own comfort point of view..

Let me make it clear that if i did look from my own comfort...i will agree with both BG and selva hands down...but im looking it at how the director visualises the story and how it makes sense...so that is why the major drastic change in the opinion..

Remember than dhanush has turned into a full fledged gangster both in his mind and his body....maybe selva might have tried to highlight that he wanted to impose himself on things that he did not...so in that case this scene is not unnecessary...if however dhanush was not even at all changed...but just suddenly rapes sneha...it makes no sense and is totally illogical...u have to analyse it deeply before deciding whether it is really needed or not...as Indiaglitz best put it...it is too realistic for its own good that not many people can tolerate it...like BG's mentioned couple and ur college friends(probably either they hate dhanush or the scenes u mentioned)...

That is pushing abit too far..when i mean realism as long as they make sure the scene makes sense...its okay for me...certainly no one wants to see a sex clip....its taking the tolerance too far..when i say realism im not saying we must show everything.

Remember that my previous posts mentioned that the screenplay must be realistic and at the same time gritty..meaning it must appeal to the moviegoer...it seems u have mistaken my realism..i do not mean realism as in like a documentary where they show every detail...we must keep in mind that this is a movie...and it is meant to appeal to the common moviegoer...in that case selva has done it perfectly...the scene stops with the yelling and thats all...in fact all the sex scenes in the movie stop with the looking and orasuruthu...after that they just show sunlight.

What im trying to tell BG and selva is not to show every detail...but that things like yelling is perfectly logical...a girl does shout or moan as some people put it when she is having sex or raped...for some they might not take it as it is explicit fpr their own comfort...i also will not like the movie if the scene went into too detail as it is meaningless like a whole unadulterated sex clip...what are we trying to show here pudhupettai: the prostitute?....but here selva only shows the touching and after the yelling its a full stop...whats the problem here?...he is not spoiling his own storyline by showing a whole length unnecessary sex clip....he just highlights what he needs to show...the pain of the prostitute suffering and dhanush roughness...he has done that and in fact...this scene is very minor compared to certain rape scenes in tamil movies where they are not at all needed in the movie and even if it is needed the content even more detailed...i guess just because of one yelling everybody things its too detailed...in that case it is more of looking from our own comfort rather than looking it from the storyline point of view.

Now let me remind that if u want to question what i mean by realism...please do not give me examples of B grade movies or porn...when i see realism i do not mean how the director sees it...its whether the storyline and screenplay make sense...and the narration is very logical.....and when i said pudhupettai having such scenes is realistic is because the story needs it...which gangster life is complete without the night life?
And before we give our comments let us remind that the combined time of the sex scenes wunt even match 5 minutes but yet we show displeasure because of yelling?...Perhaps because we are used to seeing scenes where it is just the pair of them touching there and here and have the look of happiness in them or just some shouting when the girl is raped that we cant accept this scene because it is made to really reflect what it can be like.

If the scene went into sexual content then i have got to agree with u all...what does this scene even imply in the movie?..that gangsters are porn lovers?....but in this case the scene does not go beyond even 1 min...it just stops with the yelling as i mentioned above...and they do not show much content..instead they focus on the feelings and pain of what happens to a prostitute and the roughness in dhanush eyes....and that to me gels with the storyline perfectly well.

As for B Grade movies and soft porn movies...there is not story in them and their main purpose is to give sexual gratification to those who watch it...there is no realism or logic there..just plain entertainment...using them as a example to question my realism is totally off the point.

So let me make clear what i mean realism once and for all...it means whether the screenplay and story gel well and it is very logical to the common moviegoer.

Eg 1.
Dhanush goes rough on sneha and this is highlighted by her yelling to show the pain...the scene implies the sudden contrast in dhanush mindset compared to his earlier visits to sneha where he would not dare touch her.
This is realistic and logical.

Eg 2.
Dhanush is shown having sex here and literally said...its almost showing a porn clip...the scene does not fit the story and in fact makes the moviegoer think that the director is trying to make the film engrossing by showing sex...this is not realistic and in fact totally unnecessary.

Alright lets end this discussion here....cause any more discussions and i have to write 3 page long posts to explain every point...i cant entertain certain thoughts because they are seen from a comfort point of view rather than story point of view...especially the criticising of dhanush...to be a gangster you do not need to be fit and look scarey...all you need is bravery and cold cruelty...dhanush showed the changes from a young and naive kid to a cruel and cotnrasting don....his expressions and body language was excellent in portraying all these...if we were to just look at because he is thin and his face doesnt remind us of a don..then it would be very hard to accept a actor.

Please look at it from a acting point of view rather than our own perception.

Beg to differ. Again I repeat.. Just Imagine the ROLE OF RUN VILLAN in his movie with Dabu.. Perfect one.. EVen though he has a body which can compete with Dhanush, he portrayed what was necessary by displaying the arrogance, aggressivenss etc.

But in PP, Alt these things are missing.

I can again say this:
If it has to be body language, then there must be an element of GAMBEERAM that must be brought in the face. Something which you can find with the likes of RAghuvaran, Run villan, Arya (AA, pattiyal).

Body language doesn't rely in doing "KAL MELA KAL POTTU, BHATSHA STYLE COOLING GLASS POTTU, 100 GANGSTERS ah miratturathu"

This is something which should come naturally. You eyes should depict the FIRE AND MAJESTY. Dhanush lets us down.

Just analyse it from that character's perspective rather than from Dhanush's acting perspective. We must look @ what kind of performance that character needs rather than how a particular actor has done that.

Imagine a person like Arya in Pattiyal... esp during the scene in which the broker hands over the PISTOL to him. He carelessly, ignoresit and says "NAMAKKU ITHELLAM OTHU VARAATHU, ITHA PAARTHIYA(He shows sickle)." This is what we expect.

NOt something like A SINGLE PERSON CUTTING THE THROATS AND STOMACH OF 20 MEN (Is it realism? in your view

Huh?!

Confused

esp.. that CLIMAX FIGHT SCENE and dhanush's rise as a politician

Huh?!

Selva lets us down in this case. Imagine >> the scene in which ARYA is killed in pattiyal.. A fight b/w him and a villan.. Just like that, can't the villan finish dhanush with a gun(even though he can't walk /talk)

Banging Head

Again I stress:
Dhanush suits the role as naive kid (I repeate kid)

If u say that, his face reminds you the DON, Not sure how u enjoyed the SOUND PERFORMANCE OF RAGHUVARAN as the DON in BAATSHA.. Did u find anything like that in Dhanush?

IN your word:

REALISM - SHOWING EVERYTHINGS AS IT IS BY FORGETTING WHAT GOES ON SCREEN

Huh?!

From: selvakumar on Thu Jun 1 0:15:33 2006. [Full View]

Again, I differ with your comments on THAT YELLING SCENE.

Imagine.. The same RUN villan will try to enjoy Dabu.. But she will protest it by not reacting to it. The scene is a class one.

But in PP, we see lot of moaning, kissing sounds, idiotic glour etc which must have been avoided.

It is nothing but an ADULTERATED COMMERCIAL MOVIE.. Adulteration is > DIRECT, BRUTAL "X" rated scenes which are inserted to attract the youth..

That's all.. What an underestimation from selva's view.. Have a look at selva's previous films. TI, 7G, KK.. All are good in their own way.. But this movie should have been tagged as an X -RATED movie...

Otherwise, people will forget the difference b/w the too.

From: Hulkster on Thu Jun 1 0:41:33 2006. [Full View]

Im not going to explain it any further....this seems to be looking from ones own entertainment...Maybe dhanush voice may not make him sound like a don..but his expressions and body language gave me sufficient evidence of a don...why must a don speak dialogues that demean death and look tough...a don can be portrayed in different types...you can be a silent don who looks totally innocent but burst into action when ur needed...or you could be a don like raghuvaran..plain villainy at its best...you can also be a don who neva does any killing..but just puts on a wicked smile with his dialogues...there are loads of way to portray it.

Selvaraghavan has tried to show a different side of a don not many people will do....the emotions and sentiments of doing such things and their family life..the insecurity. Just by looking at dons showed in typical masala movies we cant decide this is how dons should be...there can be various differentiations with a character of a don. The scenes in which dhanush asks his friends to guard the house and he goes hysterical is a different way of portraying a don....such things are also part and parcel of being a don..not just looking tough and meagre.

As for the kissing and yelling..i have already explained that umpteenth no of times...does the kissing and touching go for the whole body and goes beyond the time to make it seem like a sexual clip? all dhanush does is he touches her and kisses her on the cheeks before sneha starts yelling and fullstop...nothing else is shown...in fact even in that scene the focus is shown more on sneha's expressions rather than the act itself. If selvaraghavan wanted to make the movie seem engrossing by using sex i think he would have made dhanush romp around with prostitutes including sneha and filmed them....remember AGAIN..that night life is part of gangsterism...and unless your making it seem like porn...such minute details which focus on the expressions rather than the act are totally logical.

As i said please do not look from your own perception..but rather the movie's storyline...yet again your highlighting your own discomfort and have branded scenes which only end at the touching as X rated when compared to other tamil movies where the scenes are even longer and totally unnecessary.

I was reading your first post and yet again you have made the mistake of making assumptions from seeing characters portrayed in other movies...if selvaraghavan had portrayed dhanush like arya where is the differentiation and what is the need of making pudhupettai?...wunt it be a replica of pattiyal?...the life of a don and being a don has been portrayed differently by selva...it is just that the audience are determining the films characters based on other film characters like u did....we must look at the film from a more general and broader point of view...not just base it on others that we have seen and expect...if we do that most films wunt make sense to us.

Cool

Nope it is not my own perception...i have already mentioned that from my own view...it is actually very uncomfortable to see this scenes and i have to agree with BG and u with that....i myself do not appreciate such scenes and prefer the movie to concentrate on gangsterism...but if we do that we will not realise what the movie content is and what it actually says to us...that is why i try to put myself in the shoes of a neutral movie goer or as a director to a extent and visualise what it is trying to do...it is only after i did that then could i see what selvaraghavan was trying to portray in pudhupettai.

Once a mindset has been decided like that the movie is X Rated...it will be very difficult to change it unless we try to visualise the movie from a director's angle of view. I was about to thrash the movie at first but then i watched it again and this time looked through patiently seeing what sense it made...of course certain scenes were abit dragging...but the realism is in there...sometimes when your portraying a don's life differently..such criticisms are expected...but a movie is only good if it is different in its idea and narration and justifies it fully...its no use expecting it to look like the examples set by its predecessors...the performance might be good...but there is nothing really in that movie to compare with other don's movies....i have alreayd mentioned that im looking not with my own perception but from a director's perception and try to see what he is trying to see...i am going to end it here..

aadhi was sold out-right, which means all the money from the theatres wont be shared by the producer..... so it was sold for 17 crores.....

paramasivan was sold for a MG of 9.5 crores..... here the producer and distributor shared the profits..... so , people with an average working brain can understand that a movie that is sold outright will get more money in advance b4 the release.... dont give false statements here.....

Ya.. I didn't insult dhanush or his efforts. My stand is: DHANUSH has tried his level best. .but not THE BEST OF THE PERFORMANCE.. Any guy like ARYA could have done better... If we consider skinny body,

I remember a movie where RUN VILLAN @ HEY RAM MAIN ROLE, >

Dabu > a dance bar girl.

The hero is a don.. @ gangster @ gangster's leader.. After having seen that movie, I think dhanush's performance is far below.. and THINGS LIKE

�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.

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.

7g is an excellant example for this

Am happy that PP is still running 4 shows in Satyam.. What was the last movie that ran for 4 shows in Satyam for 4 weeks at least.. I remember only Ghajini and Anniyan before that.

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.

BTW, Guys there was a program pn P in Raj TV yesterday. Selvaraghavan gave convincing answers to all doubts people had on the film.

Its not a matter of how many days. Its a matter of how well they run. The movies u mentioned ran housefull for atleast 4 weeks. As a matter of fact Tirupathi ran for a month 4 shows in Satyam.

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.

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.

Hats off to danush to speak up his mind.

Selva,
when Ajith speaks his mind you appreciate ,but why do you upset when danush speaks up his mind ..He didn't say he is better than Ajith and Vijay in acting ,but just made his ipinion that they must improve their acting skills ,which I agree .I don't find anything wrong in that.

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

First of all im surprised you people are basing your views on a informal chatscript in which maybe dhanush may have playfull said those comments...its just like taking our hub comments seriously...please base your views on more serious articles than informal events like chat which is more of a fun idea than a serious one.

As for his kumudam interview...certainly it is good to see his comments but i prefer if i see some action in doing such achievements...
