So bad it was good

Topic started by P_R on Fri Mar 18 15:41:07 2005.

Dear All,
we are all long suffering patrons of Tamil Cinema and in taking it to its eventual glory we have all been through some embarrassingly horrendous movies.

For some mysterious reason we end up watching them over and over again on TV and we kinda start liking them. Let's use this thread to share our experiences. Something like a Tamil equivalent of Godzilla connoisseurs.

So bring on the crappy films !

I recall this pathetic kamal flick : 'sankarlal'.
Do I have brothers in suffering out there ?

One particularly crappy line was this.

The elder Kamal, named R.Dharmalingam, resurfaces incognito to pay the villains back. He is dressed as a foreigner.

He introduces himself as Mr.R.D.L.Gum ( how witty to transmogrify R.Dharmalingam). If you think you could allow in the misearble attempt to pass, you are mistaken. Someone explains to the villains the beauty behind the punny nomenclature. That was just in case the audience didn't get it

The worst part is, I just can't get this off my head even after all these years. Yaaaaaaaaaa.........

Prabhu Ram!!
Great thread!!! Why not many takers for this topic?

Oh, my gosh...how kollywood bashed us left and right with such crappy movie in the 80's (of course, still continuing to do so)!! Luckily, I didn't see the one you mentioned. I remember Rajini's "maaveeran" being one of those movies!!

There is one catch phrase (?!) in the movie "saathaaraNa manushanukkuthaan ............(valikkum, kashtamaa irukkum, whatever), aanaa maaveeranukku .............(valikkaathu, etc).....Urghhhhhh...... my husband never misses a chances to recite this line to drive me crazy!!!

I don't think I ever remember seeing that movie Prabhu (and being an ardent Kamal fan, maybe I should leave it that way

Cygnus, thanks for the memory. There was more to Maaveeran than that; there was Bheem Singh (?) preventing a light aircraft from flying by tugging on a rope attached to it.

I also remember watching a Rajkiran movie on TV where our hero is a masseuse in a village. At first, his skills are highlighted when he massages a tourist with a sprained shoulder. Rajkiran distracts the tourist by asking "How are you? Where do you come from?", and quick as a flask, he cracks the dhurai's shoulder and all is good. Then, (I'm trying to contain myself as I type this), someone brings to him the temple elephant; the poor animal is limping. Rajkiran says 'no problem', then pours oil on the elephant's knee (one of the front legs), then massages and....CRACK!!...the elephant's knee is healed.

It was at this point that I conceded defeat and switched off the TV to do something more useful, like trim my fingernails.

For that matter.. quite a few of Rajini's film will fall into this category

oorkaavalan, for example has a similar scene where, I think, Rajini handles a jeep in a similar fashion.

A Hindi movie, Giraftaar(?), I think, where he throws a cigarette on the air, shoots it and gets it back to his lips with the cigarette lighted.

There's a long list.. but he is "The Superstar", right?
From: P_R on Mon Mar 21 2:00:02 2005.

The rajkiran movie in question is 'Paasamulla Pandiyare'.

Was it Panakkaaran where Rajini angrily dtares at a match and it cathces fire ? (or was it maappillai?)

But I recall the Pandian climax where Rajini walks bravely as the villain empties his LMG magazine on him . He counters that with a couple of impenetrable aluminium cuffs. The effect is of Rajini punching away at tyhe bullets like a heavyweight boxer parrying opponents' hooks.

You mean they actually NAMED the movie? Amazing.

Yes, I also remember the old Rajini "stare at the matchstick until it ignites' scene. I think it's from Maapillai, but I may be wrong.

And isn't it Raja Chinna Roja where the aforementioned star of the 'super' variety first slid down a wire attached from a house to the ground ala flying fox, then in a garvity defying feat, slid back up to the house again?

Jana was one of those WTF movies...i had no clue what the hell was happening....another i felt repulsive was Dhanush's first movie...Illamai Thulluvatho...it had i guess a strong message to convey but ugh taken so crudely i recall some really bad Urvasi movie as an annoying ghost...glad i don't remember too many

Another one that will never fail to make me cry (sometimes cry laughing) is T Rajendran. Someone might remember (or is trying to forget) this movie:

Final scene - someone throws in a live grenade in T Rajendran's house full of his family. Our hero belly flops on the grenade and it explodes. He gets up, with his bloodied guts hanging out, and says goodbye to each and everyone one of them (with final words of wisdom). Then he pops off.

Hmmmmmmmmm...........

Most of TRR movies are hilarious in a sad way. Who's seen Thangachikku Kalyanam???

THere were a couple good 'Lipstick' Ramarajan movies, like Karagatakaran. I liked it.
From: Querida on Tue Mar 22 16:04:06 2005.

Oh geez i once watched this movie with Vijaykanth with one damn song that carried the movie through where the lovers were kept apart from each other by putting them in the same dungeon and oh my how did they ever get this idea... they sent a child out into the world (second role of vijaykanth) to seek revenge!
From: RC on Tue Mar 22 16:20:35 2005.

I guess you are talking about Sirayil Pootha chinna malar (not sure of the name) Bhanupriya's own production. It had a very nice song.. "aalolam paadum thendrale aagaayam veesum thingaLe"

true the song was nice but after it being suffocated in such yucky story it lost it's appeal...in the movie anyways

From: mellon on Tue Mar 22 19:48:40 2005.

movie is "paNakkaara kudumbam"

song is "pEsuvathu kiLiyA" (a great song indeed!!!!!!!)

Here is how the scene goes:

S Devi will be waiting for her lover, mgr who will be late. There will be an ambassador car waiting too, in the park. The other side of the car S Devi will be standing outside and sort of leaning herself towards the car and waiting.

Our hero will be coming from a different side, but quietly to surprise his love. He will start RUNNING and JUMP on the TOP of the CAR from the opposite direction and crawl slowly towards her and touch s. Devi's head gently and START singing the song.

pEsuvathu kiLiyA illai peNNarasi mozhiyA!

I thought,

Come on, MORON!!!! She has not started talking yet?
It was hilariously funny as I never imgained such a wonderful duet could start in a ridiculous manner!

Well, "makkaL thilagam" and "best actor" award winner of the classic "rickshaakkaaran" mgr, whose acting is always great no matter how the duet starts. Right???

good point but that happens alot in dances too, for some reason all the ppl who gather on the street to dance with the hero know the moves and vice versa

i hate those scenes where a character day dreams of a scene with the hero/heroine dance...especially if it's the cheated one dreaming of the two in the affair...and the song turns out to be some obscene crap...i'm like ewww how perverted is that ?
but like in manathil uruthi vendum where the villagey gurl thinks of Suhasini and her BF in one scene and the possible guys she likes (with the actor cameos) it seems appropriate

another oddity is when actors have a flashback which includes all the things they possibly couldn't know

Querida, tell us more. I only saw a glimpse in on of those review shows on TV, and the bad dubbing for John dhurai turned me off.

Thanks for also mentioning Ramarajan. Over the years in the hub, I have been repeating my story of how I saw the shooting of Ooru Vittu Ooru Vandhu in Thailand. One day, I shall tell you that story, of the glory of Ramarajan in is Yellow shirt and matching pants.

Anyway, the main reason I am writing is this:

The movie: Walter Vetrivel
The actor: Sathyaraj
The problem: Sathyaraj

In the opening sequence, Walter bashes up some petty criminal. Then he loads said criminal onto the police vehicle, then speeds off to the police station. BUT while driving, our Vetrivel decides to lecture the general public on why they should trust the police more and that they also have a part to play. He does this by speaking into his megaphone.

Hello!! If you're driving at 70km/hr, how the hell are people suppose to listen to your whole speech. All they'll hear is 2 or 3 words.

"................neengal illaam police-eitappamumble mumble..........

So you can imagine the reaction of the people on the streets.

Ulagam suttrum valiban is is filled with similar 'super' scenes. That one movie makes me laugh no matter how annoyed I am.

One of the many scene:

In Dalapathy:

When Deva was beaten up, admitted in the emergency intensive care, everybody was worried whether he will die.

Surya talks to his friend, Deva, in private and made sure that the situation is not as bad as it seems and that Deva will "pull through". Then he goes to Deva's wife to tell her, who is crying and praying all the Gods.

Rajni goes to his wife and says: Dont worry, Deva will "pull through"!

She goes happily: Did the doctor say so?

Rajni will say: No! Deva himself told me that!

It turned out to be an unintended joke! You could see people were laughing in the theatre

If manirathnam wanted it to be a serious scene- I think he did, he flunked big time!

Kathaikelu kathaikeluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.............................!!!!

I was in Thailand and we just finished our military training. We were having our R & R in Kanchanapuri, in a theme garden featuring cultural shows, dances re-enactments.

We first spotted a couple of Tamil gentlemen talking about locations. I then spotted a camera in a stage area nearby. So we decided to investigate. Lo and behold, we saw the legendary Gangai Amaran- PHEEEEEWIIIITTTT!!!!

And then we saw the one and only Ramarajan on stage with, with Nalini I think (but that doesn't matter; nothing matters when Ramarajan is on stage). Our hero wore a bright yellow shirt and matching bright yellow pants. I could see his face clearly, as he wore 3 day's supply of face powder.And yes, the legend is true- he DOES wear lipstick. They were doing song scene, posing while some hired Thai lady dancers tried to do some dance steps while clapping coconut shells. One dancer could not quite get the steps and fell down.

Some of my friends tried to take photos, but Gangai Amaran kindly asked us to take pictures later. Nice man.

What a great experience. Brings tears to my eyes

Anyway, here is one other 'urghhh' aspect of our movies. I think Badri mentioned 'amman' movies, how about the movies where all kinds of animals are devotees of some god or goddess and would be friends with some kid, most commonly Baby Shamili and would go to any lengths to save her, when her life is in danger !!!
I don't remember which movie it was, there was a snake that dials the police to save Baby Shamili and some dog and monkey unleash an attack of martial arts to save the baby from the bad guys!!!

Now, cut to climax that happens after 20 years, Ramya krishnan comes in red saree this time to kill Rajini, the same maadu rushes forth to kill her, our hero will now do a javelin throw from 1 km distance that will corectly hit the ground before the maadu and saves Ramya... Idhu eppadi irukku??

Book soooper -A irukku ! Nicely designed and printed with coloured pictures of da vinci's paintings and comparative works of other artists, pictures of buildings and locations, diagroms etc.. Well illustrated !! With great difficulty I controlled my temptation to purchase it yesterday. But I dont think I can resist. Very soon I'm going to get the book. Really worth it !

So, how's Melbourne? I haven't been there myself (though we get a lot of 'Visit Melbourne...You'll never want to leave' ads on TV here.) But if I do, I'll get in touch with you.

There's this scene in Ooru Vittu OOru vandu. Dunno if u 'saw' it being filmed too. Just wanted to know if they really had a straight face while filming it. But I guess you wouldn't have seen it being filmed as you'd've had a coronary on the spot.

Here goes:

Ramarajan gets shot and falls flat. The villains escape and the well-wishers ruch to RR. Nothing has happened to him because the bullet hit the pendant of his chain (it was a large pendant a la Thamaraikkani rings). Talk about miracles.

That's not all. The pandant has an MGR engraving (if I remember right) so it's as if RR is saved by the big man himself. Desperate mlking I say .

great thread, Prabhu Ram !!

one such film i recall vividly is "Varaar Sandiyar", starring the evergreen Prem (of "Krodham & "Veeramani" fame)

the scene is this:
Prem, as the "sandiyar" in the title, is invited to preside over some kind of inauguration function (the details escape my memory). anyway, for the inevitable ribbon-cutting ritual, an attendant comes forward with a scissor on a plate. the audience is watching eagerly, waiting with bated breath for Sandiyar to cut the ribbon.

Prem takes the scissor, motions as if to cut the ribbon, then nonchalantly throws the scissor away and TEARS the ribbon with his hands !!

the best is yet to come -
as the crowd bursts into applause, an audience member says to another, his voice filled with dumbstruck awe -

"Sandiyar naale veeramdhaanunga !!!! "

amazing !

Sometimes there are embarrasing moments even in our favourite films. Here is one from Singaravelan, which I have watched umpteen number of times.

Kushbu is attired in complete white and is leaving her house. The director, in a bid to establish how rich she is has this lame-ass dialogue:

Butley to Kushbu: Madam neenga white colour dress potturukkenga, adhunaala indha white colour carla dhaan poganum (and opens the white contessa door)
Kushbu: Adhu enaaku theriyaadhaa !

Gnaaaaah ! And why I am I watching this............because the hilarious five-star restaurant scene follows imeediately after .
From: mellon on Fri Mar 25 17:08:29 2005.

Movie: is "thangai" *ing shivaji, kr vijaya

Song : sugam sugam sugam athu inbamaana thunbamaanathu

Well, this is how it starts:

Somehow during a conversation between the lovers, Shivaji will slap KR Vijaya in her face as she said something which really makes him MAD. Yes, he does SLAP her!

Immediately she will start singing the song "SUGAM SUGAM SUGAM..." keeping her hand in her cheeks!

Come on! Give me a break, "nadigar thilagam" ! That is what I told myself

Sorry for the late reply, Prabhu. I'm trying to recollect the scene, but my psychiatrist is warning me against it. Either the pendant was huge and bullet proof, or the shooter had great aim and should be in the Olympics sharp shooting team.

Roshan and a few others mentioned Baba- here's my 2 cents worth.

In the last scene, everyone is assembled outside, and Baba contemplates going away to the Himalayas with the samiyaar union. Then the villians shoot down Baba's favoured politician. But instead of reacting, everyone, yes EVERYONE, just stands there and looks at Baba to see if he's decided to stay ot take a one way trip to the mountains...
Baba varaara, illaiyaa? Ohhh, tension, suspense

Finally Baba decides to stay by doing his hand sign (before his thundu flies from off screen to warp itself around his head). Everone claps and smiles.

HELLO!!!!!

A Political assassination has just taken place. NOT ONE PERSON MADE THE EFFORT TO HELP THE POLITICIAN!! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ALL CLAPPING AND SMILING!!!!!?????

The villians are also there, in the car, bearing their teeth and posing , and not one person apprehended them. Andavaaaaaaaaaaa

The film name is Adisaya Piravi. Rajini will love with both Kanaga & Sheeba (the heroines) . It's the climax scene and both the ladies will come to know that Rajini loves both these females. It seems like our hero has to decide on one (& both the heroines will be waiting for Rajini's choice ) . Then our hero will whisper something in the ears of both the heriones and suddenly both the heroines will give a peck on our hero's cheek!. Hahaha!

I told myself, "Come on Clown, give me a break! Won't u tell what is that great thing u whispered to both the ladies to woo them?"

mellon,
The 'Ullagam Suttrum Valibhan' scene is hilarious!! Well done!

There is another scene from Baba that really got me. This is during the marriage of the token Japanese girl, Keiko, and the random Japanese tourist she meets. At the wedding dinner , our Tokyo thambi starts to choke, and gasp; the doctor says that he is not used to Indian food and I presume that it's an allergy. So, Baba goes into action and uses his manthiram to cure the Nippon nayagan.

HELLO!!! That guy would have been in Tamil Nadu for at least 2 or 3 weeks when he was visiting as a tourist, and probably longer when he was finalising his marriage. WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EATING THEN??? Was he eating Maggi instant noodles all the time at the hotel room? Or freeze dried sushi from Tokyo? Wonder cake? Tic tacs? Horlicks? What!!??

He would have at least 1 dhosai, or some kind of Indian food during his stay.

It's only during his wedding dinner that we find out he cannot eat parappu and poosanikai!

(Word of advice to Keiko: If this man cannot eat sambhar, how is he going to be a good husband??)
From: jaiganes on Mon Mar 28 0:39:57 2005.

Too Bad I caught up with this thread too late.
Still have a few ROTFLs of my own.
1. T.Rajendar's "Mythili ennai Kaadhali". Boss, the most resilient person to die murdered by a bullet. He gets machine gunned, then starts singing in hig pitch for amala to dance perfectly for 10 mins, then mouths 15 mins of rhyming dialogues and then fights for 10 mins b4 killing the villain, who is unfortunate to die in the first bullet he encounters( ). I was wondering, why the heck villain was watching the crap machine roll on after being shot. In fact my friend kept ranting in the theatre imploring and pleading the villain to use an aruvaal and chop this nonsense to pieces!

2. T.Rajendar's "Oru Thaayin Sabadham", in order to prove that a lady doctor is innocent of poisoning a patient to death, our T.R. cooly drinks off the whole bottle and the judge immediately dismisses the case !!! Excuse me aren't there supposed to be toxicology labs producing reports about the contents of a substance? Funny thing was that this movie became a massive hit and they remade this with Anil Kapoor playing the lead.
From: P_R on Mon Mar 28 1:40:03 2005.

All the TR stuff reminds me of Cho's play: Sarasvathyin Selvan. A screenwriter tells this story to the producer

All DD addicts of late eighties and 90s saw it including yours truly. Though it goes on like simple spoof on middle class apartment dwelling people, in the end there is an interesting twist with all the characters created by the screen writer coming alive and asking him uncomfortable questions. There was an episode when a normal apartment guy would get a role in a TV play, where he has to act as a post man delivering a letter. All he has to say is "Sir thabaal" and that person will spoil it (for us to have a great laugh) everytime. Kambar jayaraman played that role and one never thought he could do such a comedy.

Getting back to the topic on hand, T.R. was surely an intelligent movie goer's nightmare. He has made hamming in movies a perfected art.

In the climax of the film 'Raajadhi Raja', Rajini simply takes a stick and crashes dozens of cars and bikes, while when his car goes for a multiple twist crash, he emerges with a slight bruise in his left hand, if only all of us are this lucky!! As if to take the cake, he coolly drives a car right into the court room where his trial is proceeding. One has to simply forget that a court is not an isolated building made of cardboard,. In fact one has to forget ever having seen a compund wall around a court. One has to also discount the logic that the car that rajini was driving moments ago was broken to shards by rajini himself with a bat like stick, yet acquires magical prowess to plough through a court complex built of concrete, all because it is rajini who is driving it.!!!

From: jaiganes on Wed Mar 30 2:42:06 2005.

In late 70s and early eighties, there were many heroes in Thamizh films, who were getting old, but continued to play young college going hero roles. Classic example was Shivaji Ganesan as a college going youth who takes revenge on father's killers in 'Vetrikku Oruvan' . In that movie, Major Sunderrajan played the role of Sivaji's father, while Major himself was much younger. When I was a kid, I watched this movie and innocently asked my father, "Seems that Major sunderrajan does yoga regularly (my father did it regularly) and so looks younger than his son!!! Everybody laughed at that and I didn't know why. Years later, I was blessed with the opportunity of watching the same movie in TV (Raj Digital Plus I guess) and was in splits through out. Particularly in scenes where a fat Shivaji dodges bullets!! I had enough intelligent brain cells in my head to understand that a bullet fired from a close range reaches u before u can see the guy firing pull the trigger. In the movie however Shivaji does somersaults with his healthy tummy and tight bell bottom pants that would make Keanu Reaves blush and dodges the bullet. Wow! how badly I wanted to be in movie business then.!!! Another eye sore was Shivaji dancing with a young sripriya!! However the best dodging the bullet award surely goes to Jaishankar in the movie Jyothi (K.R.Vijaya overacts as usual as Jyothi). In the climax of the movie, the villain fires a .44 (looked like .99 in the screen) after taking careful aim at Jaishankar who is shown just 6 to 8 feet distance from him. A sound is heard. For a moment nothing happens and in the next scene, Jaishankar is shown doing a somersault and in the next scene!! Congratulations you have dodged a bullet travelling at 10 times the speed of sound (or is it?)!!! The only casuality was the unfortunate viewer who had come to watch the movie in Chennai heat!!!
From: mellon on Wed Mar 30 16:10:54 2005.

I must admit, JG, veRRikku oruvan, amanukku eman, raththa paasam and few more are BIGGEST comedy films of BIGGEST-SHIVAJI (hard to cover him in the screen ) That was the worst time for Shivaji fans and they all wished him retire However, his role in veLLai Roja as preist and muthal mariyaathai as a village leader ( I thought he deserved a national award for his "casual acting") were unarguably good.

---------------
Well, in Bollywood movie "yaathongi bharath", in the climax scene the villain will get caught in the railway lane. Dharmendra will let him die as he deserved to. 8)

When it comes to its remake in tamil, "naaLai namathE" it was hilarious to see "em gee or" was trying to save the life of nambiyaar who got trapped in the track but unsuccessfully!

There is a famous scene in �for a few dollars more�, a spaghetti-western *ing Clint as monco* and Lee Van Cleef as Col. Douglas Mortimer as bounty killers. Here is a scene where a �gangster� who wanted to pay off �Lee V Cleef� when he got an opportunity.

�Lee� will be eating in a �restaurant� where the wild ganster will be waiting (he would not know) with "full-force" of his gang of killers.

He will see the �col.� eating there, who irritated him by "lighting a match on his shirt" few days earlier. He will go to him with his no-good friends and ask for a fair �gun fight�. He will think that he has an edge over col and were sure that col. is a dead man as he is eating and cant reach for his gun that quickly. You have got to be quick and precise to be alvie, that is the rule in gun-play in the wild-west!

Wild, The Hunchback (gangster): Well, well, well, look who is here! the smoker! huh! Why don�t you light a match on my shirt, now?,

Col. Douglas Mortimer (lee van cleef): I generally smoke just after I eat, why don't you come back in about ten minutes?

Wild, The Hunchback (gangster): Ten minutes! you'll be smoking in Hell...

Well, someone will count to one to three, �Lee� is a �gun-expert� and he will pull out a small pistol hidden in his wrist and send the gangster to *hell*.

Let us come to the scene in �Ithayakani� inspired from this?. There will be boat chasing scene in the climax. I don�t know what will happen, namma thalaivar will lose all his weapons. All of a sudden, he will pull out two pistols hidden somewhere just like Lee Van Cleef does and send his enemies to *Heaven*. Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong in the scene. But I thought there was absolutely no reason to keep those pistols hidden and pull out and surprise the audience in this �occasion� in Ithayakani

I think Ravinder's name was "pazhani" and he was a "bad guy" who raped kamal's (velu's) sister. Kamal and his "sister" will come back for a revenge in the second half pretending to be a "foreign return" or of some sort.

They will make fun of that guy by calling him as "panni" instead of "pazhani" and that is a JOKE!

There is one particular scene where saranya reads karthik's kavithai and finds it incomplete...so she decides to complete it...and when she starts writing the pen stops working...so she pricks her hand with the needle of the pen and writes with her blood... ....
Then our aavi hero appears and tells her that...

Ok Mellon i watched it...it almost killed me but i watched Raajathiraaja...if it weren't for the songs and quasi comedy of Rajini as village bumpkin....man oh man i hit the limit when i saw Rajini putting on all those far-fetched roles to get them to confess anyways after that everything was kinda a blur...probably cause my finger was stuck on fast forward As Janakaraj says " nonsense of the stupid of the idiot!!!" now i think im mentally drained be a sweetie and just tell me the what you found so similar between the two except the both contain far-fetched plots and some redeeming songs!

I almost forgot why I asked u to watch. I think I sort of comparing the "quality" of the "comedy". Not for "comparing similar scenes" or of that sort. But, apparently it seems to me u could live with SKV comedy over RR comedy

Kasi,

U do not have to go that far. In your thalaivar's film Maaveran, a dog will whistle & in the last scene, a statue of the horse will suddenly run away (don't ask me how) with the hero's horse. Reason : The statue is a female.

Why, in Baba rajini's shoes will fly towards the villain & then fly back & get fixed to his feet.

Probably balakrishna was inspired by that.

I don't see certain ppl critisizing Ajith, Vijay, etc for flying in fights, even though their charecter is supposted to be a normal human being.

My personal opinion, is that BABA was a good movie. It had many philosophies of Hinduism which was said in a very commercial way, it also had other things to entertain the crowd. If u didn't understand it, it's ur fault! Not rajini's.

I don't get offended. I just don't see the point.

Flying in fights? Rajini is old obviously! Look at his fights in movies like Moondru Mugam, etc when he' ajith and vijay's age.

Philosophies of baba? Ever heard of teh concept MAYA in Hinduism??? If u haven't, then u didn't understand the movie.

Most ppl didn't understand it! That's why the movie isn't liked.

For some reason ppl are more into movies that have no meat in them what-so-ever.

I agree Anbe Sivam was a god movie.

Folks,
I don't know if this particular scene has already been mentioned here but anyway.......
The fight scene in Sullaan.
1) The ragging fight - The othaikkaal fight
2) The Tata sumo fight. - The flying Phantom fight
Initially i felt blood rushing on my veins in righteous anger on finding my intelligence (whatever little) being insulted.
However, on repeated viewings i began to enjoy these scenes. In fact, depending on your mood, movies like Sullan and Thirupachi can be stress-relieving experiences. What movies genuiney-intended comedy movies failed to acheive, these two movies were able to acheive with consummate ease.

A gem from Thirupachi:
Vijay confronts "Pattaasu" Pasupathy on the phone. He lights a fire-cracker (sara vedi) and even as Pasupathy's asking about the whereabouts of his friend, the cracker starts bursting and the impact throws Pasupathy a few feet away - so what if it's from the other end of the phone?!!!!?
Another gem: "Pattaasu" pasupathy has already lit a saram and it's bursting. Our man wants to deliver some punch dialogues and so he steps on the saram and lo! - the cracker stops bursting! What an ingenious application of the "Pause-button" feature?????

However, as much as i enjoy movies like these, my hearing got a little bit impaired after each sitting!

Yes it was a great concept. And it could have been pictured in a better wat etc. But the movie is a rajini movie. It has to have certain elements. the Maya concept was mainly shown in the scene where he goes to seee BABA Ji in the Himalayas. That was good, but the rest of the movie was out of context, because Suresh K trie dto cram a good meaty storyline, and also the elements of a rajini movie into the same package. But I still thought that the movie was decent. Much better than Thipaachi, Citizen, raja, etc.

I still think that many ppl didn't understand the concept of MAYA, many of the C class ppl aren't even aware of the concept of MAYA in Hinduism. That I think led to some confusion about what's going on on-screen among many of the Fans themselves.
From: Sanguine Sridhar on Wed Jun 22 1:27:17 2005.

Some of the pit in BABA are

* Rajini goes to Himalayas within fraction of seconds... BABAJI was there He gives some boons and says that u shld not booze..Rajni is not accepting that..Babaji relaxes that rule for him
* He is singing the song "shakthi Kodu" in the climax... and wht the hell he is singing this line "Uppita thamizh mannai naan marakka maateyen,naan uyir vaazhnthal ingey thaan odi vida maateyen" with a smile..in such a tough climax??

In China it's a different flavor. It's a matter of time before they become a power to reckon with.

Don't equate communism to dictatorship, control etc. Maybe you only have Russia in mind. In Russia, it was first Stalin' dictatorship and Soviet Bolshevik totalitarianism, not communism, strictly speaking.

Speaking about these things are taboo, in the mainstream media, hence the indoctrination continues

Digression,
AA,
Surya is talking more about the communists of India,their hypocrital attitude,their zeal in infiltrating academic institutions& spreading their 'secular'ideals while accusing the RSS/BJP of doing the same.Is this what communism is about?unfortunately their actions are so irritating that you start disliking their idelogy itself.

As for Anbe Shivam,Kamal was convincing as a communist.I didn't think for a second that he was propogating something.He was just being true to his character in the movie.

Baba was a concept gone wrong.Surya,I think we have to understand that the philosophy of Hinduism is so complex that you cannot do a simple thing as a movie on it&expect ppl to understand.Rajni was better off talking about all that in the media(as he is doing now with the series in AV)than making a film.It's the complexities of the religion which makes it difficult to unite ppl as opposed to Islam or christianity.Any way these are better off discussed in some other thread(if a few hubbers allow us&don't come up with their "poda......."kind of posts )

China is soo on the democratic side of communism. Look @ the Communists in N Korea, The country has not matured for the past 50 years, N or S Vietnam, also not as well off as it could be, if it was a democracy, Russia: Obvious. Cuba: also not as modern, and economically well off as it could be, if it was a democracy.

The point is that Most Commie countries are not as well off as China, and basing the sucess of Communism on China isn't accurate.

Kamal is an excellent actor, I"m a huge fan of his, etc, but Anbe Sivam was a bit ruined with the Commie Ideas.

Cinefan,
Exactly! I agree 100% on what u said on BJP/RSS.

Communists in India are just mere hipocrates!

As far as BABA goes, I think that rajini desearves some credit for atleast attempting it. When there are movies out there about an 11 yr old boy getting a 23 yr old woman pregnant, I think that BABA desearves more credit than it's given.

There are too many such scenes in the Captains movies to mention here...though the most recent one I was rolling with laughter is this movie with laya and the other girl..
Scene goes like this Villains hit the captain and the captain starts to bleed.He'll take a matchstick and hold it close to his blood.The matchstick will start burning
aparam dialogue vera..something like
Enodda rathathilaya neruppu errukku or somthing to that effect.GOD it was hilarious!
