WITH A HYPED SIVAJI AND KREEDOM TO COME,CHERAN IS NOW THE TALK OF THE TOWN WITH RESPECT TO HIS LATEST FIASCO MAYAKKANADI.
for the first time he takes the backdrop of a city and its mirages which reflects in the title.navya nayar pairs him up with some of the lead actors/actresses doing small roles.cheran,supposedly a hair-stylist from thiruvannamalai and navya a makeup woman of chennai deal with the kaliedoscopic dimension of the city.5 lyricists and 6 songs of mayakkanadi is enthralling in its musical counterpart with 2 chartbusters of raja's maestro harmonica.cheran who is wielding the megephone has a strong message,this time with comedy quotes that he's a sure shot as usual.this time this is a raved up movie too.its to hit the screens on april 14th itself.

with sources swearing that the whole of the complex is gonna have sivaji,with MK left with just a theatre,what could you expect from offbeat cheran?howsoever awards and accolades pour on him,commercial success of his films are surely the other way round(note:commercial success,not commercial movie)i firmly believe without a big hit he cannot withstand,but i(also many?) dont want him to be an ounce of perarasu even.

`Mayakannadi` gets U!
Maayakannadi with Cheran and Navya in the lead has been cleared by the censors with a clean “U” certificate. Now the film is all set to release on April 14, Tamil New Year day.
Mayakannadi carries a big buzz around it, and all areas have been sold by the producers Chellamai Celluloids. The feel in the trade is that Cheran has a loyal family audience for his films which will ensure an opening and the film has something new in its content and presentation.
And among the films like Chennai 600028, Maduraiveeran, Pirappu, Arputhatheevu and Kanal Kaneer releasing for Tamil New Year's day, Mayakkanadi carries the most hype due to its theme. Ilayaraja’s music is being appreciated and the film has Sarathkumar, Arya and Malavika doing guest appearances in the film.
Subbu, son of veteran producer Panchu Arunachalam is producing the film which has songs shot in exotic locations abroad.

[tscii]Positive review
http://lakhsmee.blogspot.com/2007/04...di-review.html
Movies like Autograph and Thavamai Thavamirundhu made me watch Mayakannadi on the first day. First off it would be unfair to compare any director's previous movie(s) with the current one - unless there is a HUGE difference in the quality of the films. So I'm not going to compare Mayakannadi with Autograph or Thavamai Thavamirundhu.
Coming to the story of the movie - it is NOT a new story - guess lots of people have taken this route. The only key difference is in the earlier movies with similar story line, the hero/heroine will become wealthy over a single song. Here Cheran has taken the most pragmatic and realistic path and tried to emphasis on the importance of knowing ones real capacity/ability and do what he/she is good in doing. I cannot stop but think about a similar story being told by Durai in Mugavari (Ajith starrer). But all said & done, it’s the treatment that matters and Mayakannadi and Mugavari are poles apart in this aspect.
One key thing I felt after watching this movie is - the actor in Cheran has gone on an over-indulgent mode - which doesn't gel well. It’s extremely difficult to accept Cheran in the character of Kumar. But on the other side - director Cheran would have thought he needed a guy who doesn't have a major screen presence - so that he can showcase his story in a much better fashion - for had he chosen a "good-looking" hero for this movie the audience would have probably found it difficult to accept the ending. So from a director’s angle I guess it makes sense to have an actor like cheran in the lead role.
Since the over all movie's theme is about the "have-nots" yearning for a "haves" life and the pain they undergo to become rich - the first half of the movie is completely dedicated to showcase those yearnings. This to an extent makes it an over-kill and at times may test your patience - especially if you are used to the regular run-of-the-mill masalas.
It’s the second half that makes it a more captivating movie - as it sends out a strong message to the current generation. Especially there are few scenes that needs to be mentioned here -
* The scene where Kumar (Cheran) decides to go take an illegal job to save his mother
* The sequence where Maheswari (Navya) pleads with her father about her marriage and why she wanted him to provide a chance to Kumar.
* The last 5 minutes where the saloon owner (Radha Ravi) talks about the importance of hard working and why one shouldn't think of becoming a millionaire over night. Though it might sound preachy - it certainly makes sense.
Coming to performance of the actors in Mayakannadi - it just revolves around Kumar (Cheran) and Maheswari (Navya Nayar). Though all the other characters (like Beauty parlor owner Radha Ravi, Maheshwari's father, the drug dealer) have done their job neatly - the movie is a out-an-out Cheran/Navya's show. And there seems to be a terrific on-screen chemistry between Cheran and Navya.
Cheran (as I mentioned earlier) seems to have gone on an over indulgent mode. He some how doesn't fit into today's youngster role. Though I do agree that this character doesn’t need a good looking chap - it would have made a huge sense to put in a guy like Dhanush or Bharath in the lead role - it would have been an apt fit. Cheran as a director is too good - and guess he should start following the message that he gave in this movie - which is to excel in what you are good at - in Cheran's case is direction and certainly not grease paint.
Navya Nayar - what a terrific performance from this lady? She is awesome and just fits into the character of Maheswari like a T. You must watch this movie atleast to see Navya's performance. Any idea how the girls from Kerala put up some grand performance consistently?
Music is by Illayaraja. Songs are average and the maestro has shown his true color in the background score - which is superb.
On the whole, if you discount the dragging first half and if you can put up with Cheran's performance (especially first half), you might well consider that Mayakannadi is certainly not a bad movie. And yes, especially watch it for Navya's out-standing performance. At the box office I'm afraid that this may not be a huge success.
Mayakannadi is for folks who want to encourage good cinema - though it amounts to going through some over-indulgence from the film maker.

From: MrJudge on 15th April 2007 11:55 AM [Full View]
Yeah, saw MK, huge disappointment. It is hightime Cheran should concentrate only on direction and stop acting unless the role fits for him. I hadn't listened to the songs before going to the movie, only couple of them sounded good, especially Ulaga azhagi. But why on earth IR decided to sing yela yela song? Looks like IR hasn't seen the changes happened/happening to the tfm over the years and still stuck with his old ideas.

Mayakannadi
By Moviebuzz
We wish that Cheran had whipped up a more winsome screenplay with Mayakannadi on middle class dreams turning sour due to lack of commitment. It's nowhere in the league of the talented director’s previous works like Autograph or Thavamai Thavamirunthu.
Here Cheran has tried to prove that he can be a romantic hero, a city slicker in designer outfits, straightened hair and singing duets (with blonde wigs) in a dream song Azhagu Rani…. in lush locales of Switzerland and Venice and that dance number Oyeale Yenga Vantha…. He moves away from his core strengths - human emotions, nostalgia and soft romance to a more direct up-market approach to woo the multiplex audience but falters!
Kumar (Cheran) an expert hair stylist and Maheswari (Navya) are lovers who work in Adam and Eve adjacent beauty parlour for men and women owned by Tirupathi (Radha Ravi). They are from lower middle class background but are smitten by the rich and famous who come to their parlour. The lovers dream to make it big one day, be rich and lead a good life. They try out various get-rich overnight short-cut routes like being LIC agents and finally Kumar decides to join films after meeting actor Sarathkumar (in a cameo) who says that if the right script comes even “Kumar can be a hero!”
Greed and aspiration forces Kumar to chase his dream and in the race he loses the job at the parlour. He tries hard with full support from Maheswari but ends up working for Arasu a sophisticated, aristocratic rich man and a shrewd businessman dealing in drugs. Kumar ends up in jail and after three years he is a changed man.
The first half has some lighter moments, the way liberalization has brought all pervading consumerism into the life of the lower middle class in our society. The greed to achieve all the latest gizmos and how the young generation are forgetting their roots, chasing their impossible dreams has been well told. The basic plot of the film is taken from an 80’s Malayalam film Akkare starring `Bharath` Gopi and Madhavi.
Cheran’s intentions are noble but the execution has gone wrong as the love scenes between the lead pair, the jail episode and a song plus Radha Ravi’s lengthy speech in the climax- all tests your patience as the film runs for nearly 3 hours! Were editors Iyyappan & Rama Rao sleeping? However, the silver lining are Dwaraknath’s camera and Ilayaraja’s hummable songs.
Cheran`s message-The road to success is full of hardships and it does not come in a day. It’s better to be the number one at what you are, rather than aspiring to be someone else! After seeing the film, we hope that the director applies this message in his life by sticking to his core strength of direction rather than dabble in roles that just do not suit him.
Verdict: Average

Mayakkannadi - True images
IndiaGlitz [Monday, April 16, 2007]
Cheran is one of the few film-makers who churn out movies with a purpose. His movies dwell on social issues and try conveying a solution for it. Be it Vetri kodi Kattu, Pandavar Bhoomi or Thavamai Thavamirundhu, Cheran's moves had a strong message and moral values without being preachy. A shrewd director he gives the (bitter) pill coated with sugar. His movies dwell on serious themes backed up by smart commercial elements.
No different is Mayakkannadi. Cheran has used the canvas this time to render a strong message or call it a warning to youngsters today.
Dreaming for greater fortunes in life is no harm. But it is must that one develops a passion for what one wants to do and tries to be the master of the task at hand. Mayakkannadi, quite rightly, is not about winners in life. It is about losers like every one of us. Cheran has understood that though it is winners only who get spoken about, all life is about losers. This message has been conveyed loud and clear in Mayakkannadi, running for over three hours.
Unlike his earlier films which revolved around the rural themes, Mayakkannadi (Magical Mirror) features Cheran as an urbanite, chasing a chimera. He appears in flashy costumes, straightened hair and runs around trees and romances.
Cheran has consciously chosen to move away from his pet themes - canning life around villages.
With his subtle emotions, he pictures the average youth on streets trying to make it rich by hook or crook. Giving him right company is Navya Nair. The actress with excellent acting skills has given a measured performance totally different from the roles played by her in movies like Chidambarathil Oru Appasamy and Amirtham.
Equally impressive is Radha Ravi. He seems to have rightly delivered what Cheran had wanted from him.
The movie revolves around Kumar (Cheran), a hair stylist, who works in a beauty parlor. Maheswari (Navya Nair) his co-worker shared an affinity for Kumar. Tirupathi (Radha Ravi) run the parlor.
The lover couple shares one common thing between them. Influenced by the rich and affluent who visit their parlor, they want to make money at any cost and lead a rosy life. For them money means everything.
Desperate Kumar and Maheswari try all means to become rich. Kumar finally decides to try his luck in cinema. Star status and huge remuneration being the prime objectives of Kumar. Losing his job, Kumar lands up in the streets fighting for his survival. Meanwhile, he joins a rich industrialist and works for him. Unfortunately the entrepreneur is part of a mafia and Kumar ends up in jail dealing with drugs.
The years that he spends in jail brings a change in him. Eventually Thirupathi steps in to his rescue.
All credit to Cheran to have pictured the aspirations of every middle-class youth.
Dwarakanath's camera catching the exotic locales of Switzerland and Ilayaraja at his vintage best adds to the movie's splendor.
Due credit should be given to Subbu (Panchu Arunachalam's son) for having the guts to produce such a serious movie, when commercial clinches are the order of the day.
Go for Mayakkannadi, if you want real reflections.

my thoughts on Cheran's Mayakannadi
I am disspointed with the film eventhough Cheran tried to give a good message. But he lacks in the presentation and he don't know to make scenes without using dialogues. According to me, cinema is visual medium rather than dialog oriented.
It is clearly known, IR himself disappointed with the film, his RR in the first half was so good esp. while cheran imagination himself as a cine hero, but IMO he confused after that. Believe me, there as no RR many places. yes, silence was the most used RR in this film. Cheran has definitely confused how to finish the movie, before 10 min to end the movie, many people went out theatre because they thought film is over, but?. Eventhough MK disappoined me, i liked the storyline and nice climax. But the main mistake was the presentation and many unwanted scenes/dialogues (length morethan 3 hours). Padathula rendu mads (Cheran, Nayva) pesikittae irukkura mathiri oru feeling enakku and Cheran's hairstyle too irritated me. two times lip kiss vera

Mayakannadi Movie Review
Cast: Cheran, Navya Nair, Radha Ravi, Vinodh Raj
Direction: Cheran
Music: Ilaiyaraja
Production: Panju Arunachalam
Cinema is an art form that has lost its soul to commercialism. But once in a while a movie does come our way that seeks to enlighten as well as entertain. Mayakannadi is in that rare genre. Though Cheran may not have hit the bull’s eye this time with the entertainments, he does not fail in delivering a message. It takes courage to go in for the kind of narration that Cheran has adopted in Autograph, Thavamai Thavamirundhu and Mayakannadi, but then ‘one man with courage makes the majority’ and Cheran, who met with success on both his previous attempts has shown that he is not one to be swayed by commercial compulsions.
Mayakannadi is the first time that Cheran has left the village milieu and gone in for an out and out city subject. Cheran plays the typical young, trendy and ambitious person who just can’t seem to get enough out of life. He works as a barber (hair stylist, as the ones working in the trendy saloons prefer to be called) in a beauty parlor owned by Radha Ravi. Right next to this shop is the one in which Navya Nair works as a beautician. Boy meets girl and love blooms; that’s where the story begins. During their courtship, reality hits Cheran hard. His income is just not good enough to lead a happy (materially) life. Here Cheran (the character, not the director) sways to commercial interests.
He starts running from pillar to post trying to land a higher paying job. There are many interesting sequences here but the real clincher is when he decides to try his luck in movies. His antics in front of K.Balachander’s house trying to attract the director’s attention look very genuine, the scene draws applause from the audience. When nothing works and desperation runs high, common sense takes a back seat; here Cheran starts working for a smuggler. All the while the picture of Cheran’s younger brother toiling to take care of the family is patiently built. There is also Cheran’s roommate who starts off as a tea vendor and slowly climbs the ladders of prosperity.
It is during this period that Cheran’s mother falls sick and at the same time Cheran is caught red handed while smuggling goods. A two year sentence threatens to put an end to all his dreams. Navya Nair’s parents are scouting for a suitable boy but Navya is adamant in her love for Cheran. The scene where she pleads to her parents to let her wait for Cheran to return is touching.
Radha Ravi, as the owner of the saloon has done very well. His advice to the youngsters close to the end really makes everyone think. Cheran who has gone in for a change in looks has done a neat job as the discontent young man. Navya Nair has scope to perform and has used it well. But the real surprise is Vinodh Raj, who appears as Navya’s father. Vinodh Raj is none other than the father of Chiyaan Vikram. He does well as the strict but benevolent father; looks like acting runs in the family.
If there is a let down in the movie it must be the background music by Ilaiyaraja. The Maestro stamp is clearly missing in most places. The music and the scenes do not gel. Two songs grab attention. --- by Karthik and Shreya and Kaasu Illata, a thought provoking number by Ilaiyaraja himself. Otherwise, the album is pretty ordinary.
Well, if one had to sum up this movie it surely would be a difficult job. Looking at close to 3 hours in the theater and a pretty sluggish first half, it cannot be called an entertainer. Mayakannadi is by no means a mediocre movie. But it certainly falls short of the high standards that Cheran has set for himself. It makes you think but fails to touch. That is the difference between just another movie and a great movie.
But having said that, the movie is an earnest attempt and should be encouraged wholeheartedly. Such movies do not happen very often. So, leave your expectations at home, forget about masala mass entertainers and go watch this one, for it will make you reflect upon yourself.
The age old but pertinent lesson that the movie teaches can be summed up in one line- ‘a rolling stone gathers no mass’.
Mayakannadi- a message that must not be missed.

HINDU Review
Maayakkannaadi
Genre: Social drama
Director: Cheran
Storyline: About a couple of young people, who want to become over night millionaires.
Bottomline: Disappointing!
Cheran's much awaited film does not live up to its expectations. One does not know what Cheran wants to convey through Chellammai Celluloids "Maayakkannaadi," in which positive aspect is thoroughly missing. Does he want to say that one must work hard to attain a standard in life (a lecture given by Radha Ravi at the end of the film) or misery and failure alone are a part of life or try as one might, one cannot come up in lifewhatever one does he cannot come up in life?
Kumar (Cheran) works in a five-star salon. while his lady love Maheswari (Navya Nair) works in the beauty parlour. Both come across affluent clients on a daily basis and wonder when they would become so rich. They try various means (Cheran even tries to get a breakthrough in cinema) but all the efforts end in failure.
Narration meanders
Cheran has not worked enough on the script. And hence shows no grip over the proceedings that simply meander. Actor Cheran has done a good job. Navya Nair is not only easy on the eye but also spontaneous with her work. The best performance, however, comes from Prakash (producer of G.J.Combines). His dialogue delivery and body language belie the fact that this is his first assignment. Radha Ravi as the owner of the salon is good but should he have sported that weird hairstyle? Poet Muthulingam does the job of an elderly actor fairly well. Sarath Kumar, Malavika, and Arya appear as guest artists in one scene each. The dialogue is simple and sharp.
The film certainly benefits from Ilaiyaraja's songs and the background. He has literally celebrated his 31st year in films. From "Annakkili" to "Maayakkannadi" he has come a long way. The songs and orchestration do have something to talk about.
There are six songs and the first, `Konjam Konjam,' is a melody sung by Karthik and Sreya and written by Pa. Vijai. The first pallavi reminds you of `Khajuraho' composed by Raja himself. The maestro really knows to choose the hit for him to sing. `Kasu Kayil' is one such song written by Muthulingam.
Thippu and Manjari have sung a duet, `Oru Mayalogam' written by Pazhani Bharathi. Vijay Yesudass and Nanditha have sung `Ulagile Azhagi' written by Mu. Mehta rich in lyrical content. Vaalee's `Ele, Enga Vanthae' sung by Ilayaraja with chorus is another good number.

புஸ்ஸான தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு படங்கள்
- 19.04.2007
By JBR
இப்படியொரு அடியை சமீபகாலமாக தமிழ் சினிமா சந்தித்ததில்லை. வெளியான அனைத்து படங்களும் மண்ணை கவ்விய அவலம் கொஞ்சம் அதிசயம் தான்.
புத்தாண்டுக்கு முன்னால் வெளியான சீனு ராமசாமியின் 'கூடல்நகர்' சோபிக்கவில்லை. பத்திரிகைகள் தாராளமாக பாராட்டிய பிறகும் ரசிகர்கள் தியேட்டர் பக்கம் எட்டிப் பார்க்காதது ஆச்சரியம். பி அண்டு சி யிலும் இதன் கலெக்ஷ்ன் சுமார் ரகம்.
பெரிதும் எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது சேரனின் 'மாயக்கண்ணாடி', ஜீவாவின் 'உன்னாலே உன்னாலே.' நகரத்துக்கும் சேரனுக்கும் சம்பந்தமில்லை என்பதை போட்டு உடைத்திருக்கிறது 'மாயக்கண்ணாடி.' கலையும் இல்லாமல் கமர்ஷியலும் இல்லாமல் தியேட்டரில் ரசிகர்களை படம் பயமுறுத்துவதால் இன்டர்வெல்லிலேயே எகிறுகிறார்கள் ரசிகர்கள்.
'உள்ளம் கேட்குமே' ஜீவாவின் படமா இது? ஆச்சரியத்துடன் வினவுகிறார்கள் 'உன்னாலே உன்னாலே' பார்த்துவிட்டு வெளிவரும் பார்வையாளர்கள். கதை நகராமல் ஒரே புள்ளியில் சுழல்வதும், பக்கம் பக்கமாக நடிகர்கள் வசனம் பேசுவதும் மெகா கொட்டாவியை வரவழைக்கிறது. பொருத்தமில்லாத இடங்களில் வருவதால் ஹாரிஸின் பாடல்களையும் ரசிக்க முடியவில்லை. பி அண்டு சி யில் இப்போதே ஈயடிக்கிறது படம்.
'மதுரை வீரன்', 'கானல் நீர்' படங்கள் குறித்து சொல்வதற்கு ஏதுமில்லை. புத்தாண்டின் ஒரே சர்ப்ரைஸ் 'அற்புதத்தீவு.' குள்ளர்கள், மாயாஜாலம் என வினயனின் பூச்சுற்றலில் சுவாராஸியங்கள் உண்டு. குழந்தைகளை கவரும் என்பதால் போட்ட காசுக்கு பழுதில்லை.
"புத்தாண்டையொட்டி ரிலீஸான எந்த படமும் சரியில்லை. கலெக்ஷ்னும் எதிர்பார்த்தபடி இல்லை. 'பருத்தி வீரனு'ம் 'மொழி'யும் புதிய படங்களைவிட இப்போதும் நல்ல கலெக்ஷ்னை கொடுக்கிறது" என்றார் புறநகர் காம்ப்ளக்ஸ் தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர் ஒருவர்.
சரியான கதையும், கச்சிதமான திரைக்கதையும் இல்லாததே இந்த பின்னடைவுக்கு காரணம் என்கின்றனர் சினிமா விமர்சகர்கள்.
இயக்குனர்கள் விழிப்புடன் இருக்க வேண்டிய துறைகள் இவை!

Suggestions for Cheran's revival:
1. He shud stop acting at the earliest.
2. Even if he acts, he shud stop histrionics like calling the herione as vaada,poda,etc.
3. Ppl dont have enough courage to see him crying. So he can put a full stop to that.
4. Kamal lip-to-lip adicha paakkalam, Hrithik adicha paakkalam, Cheranukku idhu thevaya?
5. Conveying a message thru a movie is a gr8 art and only very few ppl have mastered that. Cheran is surely not one of them.
6. When filmmakers r trying to make their films short and sweet to suit this mechanical life, y shud Cheran adapt the snail paced old technique?
7. Above all, He shud murder the hair-stylist of this movie...

Let me hope he practices what he preaches in his movies.

Thing is that the film doesnt make u gel with the subject. Cheran did that to an extend in Autograph and TT. But here he fails miserably. The film is too slow.
When i watched the movie, I heard an interesting comment from the back seat. It was the "Ela.. Enga vandha?" song and the person sitting behind shouted. "Amamda 60 rs koduthu ulla vandhu kaanju poyirukkira engala idhuvum keppa, idhukku melayaum keppa.."

Yaarum MK padatha sariya purinchukidaliyae oru kopam, aathangathula avar irukkar. He can't digest on criticism that his mayakannadi against "Self-confidence" and "Kulathozil". I saw the effect of this feelings of Cheran in todays' dailys.
Yes, he announced, Rs. 1 lakhs rupees first prize and next Rs. 25000 for 3 persons for Mayakannadi reviews. And also winners can join as assistant directors if they wish.
"Naanga enna ninaihu padam eduthomo athai mathiri vimarsanam (it means you've to find, what he try to tell from this movie) nanraga ezhuthuparagalukku". The contest is titled as "Tamil rasigargalin rasanaiku oru savaal". Eligibility; Mayakannadi movie ticket.
So guys, go and watch and send review to Cheran.

But ,If I say eventhough I agree the concept of the movie ,I will accept only after I make sure the actor following the same ,I think it is stupidity.
Let's say ,an actor (character) sings a song praising mother and mother's qualities ,I will grasp those points if it is sensible to me ,I don't care whether the actor really respect his mother in real life ,who cares

But Joe, Cheran is not just an actor - he is a film maker first. He criticises everyone including the audience. He claims to be the best and dishes out advises freely both in movies and in real life.

Everybody saying about Autograph, but his pre-autograph period he has given best movies.

Sanjeevi said Cheran is talking about suicide. so, the matter boils down to discussing ON cheran - The Human Being. He is the same guy who preaches bit of advise ( / message ) in his films. In VetriKodikattu, he is giving the message to youngsters to continue the job present in their location itself without going abroad. (Or atleast not giving up if they are getting cheated by some frauds). In one scene, one of the characters will speak about SUICIDE and the other guy will encourage him. Not sure about the plot).
That is why I said : He delivers a message in his films to youngsters (thanks to his interviews) and speaks totally opposite off the screen.
If you just view them as characters and the messages delivered as just in the cinematic angle (not taking them seriously), then you won't have any problem.
But oflate cheran is speaking as if he had conveyed good message to the audience. I am one of the audience. IF he can question the mentality of the audience through a message in his films,

The hero/heroine grows in life by working hard. The audience associate themselves with the character and finally the film gives a feel good factor. Thokkaravan kadhaya yaarum paakka maattaanga.. Thats y even in 'veyil' the younger brother character was shown in a positive manner.

I think you got it all wrong buddy. The message is even if you think big, getting to that level needs some hard work.

Joe,
Seems I have fulfilled your expections :P I agree with you Joe. We have diff of opinion on this. But I think this was brought here only coz of my perception on characters though it was not related to this thread
My complaint on cheran was : Why does he expect everyone to appreciate ALL his movies ? He criticises them for seeing other movies and appreciating them. Nassar once said only in tamil cinema Heroes are giving advices to fans through producer's cost.
IF this can be applied to mass heroes and they can be criticised, I don't understand why I can't apply the same for this guy !

From: NOV on 23rd April 2007 01:17 PM [Full View]
Joe, I understand what you are saying.
However, I will be terribly disappointed if Cheran kills himself over a flop of a movie - simply because he should know better. He is not your everyday confused youth to even contemplate on such silly things.
if maniratnam, shankar or KB were to kill themselves, I would be sad. but they didnt preach in real life.

As you understand my point ,I also understand your points.
But when cheran complaints about failure of his movies ,I think he blame audience for not encouraging good movies ..Agreed that he must understand good movie is not the one with good message ,but need good presentation .He needs to understand he should not blame audience for everything ,even if the failure may be because of failure in conveying the message ,not ignoring the message.
However ,Cheran not only praise his movies ,recently he praised Paruthiveeran also.

I said elsewhere, if I want message I watch old movies. There are many great films that talk about suicide, self-motivation, etc.
I find that Cheran tends to squeeze the moment to the max to get our emotion. Sometimes he succeeds. Sometimes he doesn't. When he went on sobbing like a baby in Autograph (after finding out his lover's a widwo) I laughed. I later felt embarassed for the guy. Actor he is not.
But he is good at presentation...provided he learns how to sacrifice. Meaning the use of editing machine and trim the movie.
I heard about Thavamai Thavamirunthu before watching it. So many praises. Fine, then I sat down to watch the movie...waited...waited...lots of goey stuff...waited...waited....and I woke up in early morning on my chair with the chips on the floor.
So, I am not intending to watch Mayakannadi unless it's out on VCD and I need cure for my insomnia.
I saw him when they were felicitating Sridhar (they call him present day Sridhar...puh-leeeze), he was so fierce over the mike deriding some of the present day flick. You got to be qualified to do that. Is he?

I think Cheran was level headed until Autograph was released and the movie’s success went into his head .That will explain the off screen big mouthed words coming from him. Hopefully all this battering will bring him back to the ground and we might be able to see some good movies from him in the future. In this era of glossy film making Tamil Cinema needs directors like him (well minus his off screen lamenting).

one of his such message was to ask youth not to think of suicide->
now, when he talks abt suicide, which contradicts his early preaching, then people will question -> what is unfair in this??

Can you read what made him to say like this? If I am not wrong, Maaya Kannadi is Cheran's first production venture and he has invested lots of money into this. Also his last venture Thavamai Thavamirundhu had no takers and he released it on his own, I guess so. That was the time when this production venture was started out.

Thats great !!! That shows how committed he is and his desire to do better. That needs to be appreciated. Even in his interview with Madan on Vijay TV ( day before yesterday)- he said he accepts and agrees that the movie has mixed reactions and he was calm and composed through out the interview. He even appeared in a live program on Jaya TV two days before that and was looking quite relaxed. I think some media people are purposely cooking up things. Originally Posted by selvakumar

He even appeared in a live program on Jaya TV two days before that and was looking quite relaxed. I think some media people are purposely cooking up things. Originally Posted by selvakumar

1) Let him take more of his movies to north\Award Comitee and also take movies with some National appeal ect. atleast, he has to wait for some time. his Autograpgh failed in all other states in south india itself. hope u get the point here....
2) apologising thru paper ads, unwanted for an artist. instead find the mistake and correct it next time. he shud be happy to learn a lesson and call it an experience.it really is
his hero role cannot be a problem for flopping, ppl had already uplifted heroes like ramarajan\vijayakanth\danush BUT that may affect his directorial concentration
surely his last movies had an good appeal which other directors missed. we need directors like him

Sanjeevi,
Can you read what made him to say like this? If I am not wrong, Maaya Kannadi is Cheran's first production venture and he has invested lots of money into this. Also his last venture Thavamai Thavamirundhu had no takers and he released it on his own, I guess so. That was the time when this production venture was started out.[/quote]
No Leo, Autograph itself was produced by Cheran. That was his maiden production.

I haven't seen the movie, so can't comment on it, but heard from my friends that this movie is very good( I hear only extreme views, either it is too bad, or too good)
I think you have misunderstood what truetamilan has said. He is not happy about people bashing about a good movie, which is narrated in a reaistic way which sans commercial things like kuthu songs, fights

I am not blaming just cheran. All the upcoming directors look like 2 to 3 film wonders. They just present something path-breaking and then try to repeat what they delivered.
They are confusing b/w Style & repetition. Cheran was too good in the beginning. Too bad that the failure of such movies at BO made him to deliver Autograph.
These guys are not consistent like yesteryear directors. They also eat up more time which makes heroes to reply on masala & over a period of time good movies get killed & heroes / actors never try such scripts

I think Autograph was made for audiences of aged 30 and above esp for those who were born and brought up in a village and went on to do college in a town/city. Many people i know in the age group i mentioned identified with the movie for its almost realistic portrayal. Originally Posted by selvakumar

It just shows that indeed there are still lot of youngsters out there who come to Chennai with the intention of make it big in cinema! If you look at it from that perspective you would appreicate the movie! The movie had it's share of funny moments especially in the first half where Cheran tries to mimic RK! Though not exactly in the same league as Autograph or TTT - Mayakannadi is still a good movie in itself!

Well i would say, Malayalam cinema gained its importance and still lingers in every thought .... is because of its simplicity and very casual acting and very natural real life action ......
Mayakkannadi ... as said .... is not just a documentary ..... BUT a Case Study ......... Every scene depicts a very natural feeling of a youngster ... and not to be forgotten, every youngster is attracted by Cinema one way or the other...... so are mad at actors.... some wanted to be one ......... andha vagaila Cheran has really done a good job portraying a casual life of a youngster who knew wat his strength was .... but still a wash away sand .... who thinks of a moving fantasy .......
Good Work Cheran !

i watched maaya kannaadi last night. wanted to watch just the first hour first, but ended up watching the whole film - all 3 hours of it - at one go.
the beginning was good. romba edhaaththamaa irundhuchu. i was wondering why the film flopped....
but it is true, chEran's hairstyle stuck out, not for the reason mentioned earlier in this thread, but becos it drew attention to it rather than the character itself.
the film dragged on like a tv serial. title is maaya kannaadi - magic mirror. but that was what was precisely missing in the film - absolutely no magic.
nevertheless, i watched on. unfortunately i could guess everything that could happen.
yes, the film is full of cliches. you expect some thing to happen and it happens.
when rajkapoor asks him to come over, i knew exactly what was expected of chEran and what he would think.
indha latchanaththula kanavu scene vere.
why did chEran include the totally unnecessary rape scene? and why all those smooches? crowd pullers?
but the film itself was not bad (up to that point).
EXCEPT it belonged to the 80s rather than the present. everything of the film was jaded - the story, the screenplay, the songs, the music, everything! even chEran's dressing was so oh 80s.
as expected, chEran was in almost every frame of the film - deeply proving my point of same person acting and directing, being narcisstic. there was a lot of scope for character development of other people, but no, chEran musthave the entire screen appearance.
he could take lessons from KB on how to make even side characters interesting.
but even with all these "flaws" the film was at least watchable. or so i thought!
true that chEran missed a few moments when he could have capitalised on drama - which he just chose to underplay.
the film finished with his coming out of prison and making an important decision on his future. but wait, the preaching is not over yet. yes. the climax continues for another 15 minutes.
and then radharavi-chEran drops the bombshell!
maaya kannaadi DESERVES to be a flop - not just an ordinary flop but a total flop.
chEran says, "en kObam ellam vittu vittu vandhirukkEn. rOsham, gauravam, etc..."
and worse, he says, "en thagudhi ennaanu enakku ippO theriyudhu!"
for the sake of the youths, this film must flop!
ratha ravi says, "india Ezhai naadu, naama ellaam Ezhaigal:
and he goes on to say that poor people must not have such great expectations!!!!
his message: "work hard and don't expect results!"
"you may not get results in this generation or even the next. but you may find results in the third generation."
the film finishes on a note of chEran continuing to be a barber and refusing to take risks to change his future!
in conclusion, maaya kannadi is a total reverse of every single motivation message that you had ever read/heard/taught. it aims to destroy ambition. encourages one to continue doing what one does best without venturing. no one must attempt to change his station in life. dont take risks. accept your fate!
p/s: chEran's troubles only begin when he is required to pay Rs1.5 lakhs for a surgery. how he would have tackled this problem if he had not ventured beyond his station, ie continuing to be a barber - is not even thought of by the director.

When I watched this movie ,I didn't get any negative message ..The message I got is "Master in what you know better" and "Irukkuratha vittutu paRakkuratha pidikkatha"
In this movie ,it is clearly mentioned cheran's character has no passion for cinema .But he wanted to try just because he wanted to became a rich .
So the message is "If you don't have a passion and talent ,don't waste your time in something ,rather than mastering some thing you know better"

So hardwork not alone will make anybody great ,you need to know what you are capable of.

joe, he had passion. to become rich. nothing wrong in that.
he tried insurance and failed, he tried cinema and failed.
so?
dont try any thing anymore? just keep on doing what you know? and hope that your grandchild will become rich - at least?

He failed in insurance because he has no patience and comminication capability ..He failed in cinema as hero since he has no passion on cinema or he has no basic talent to compete with others. Originally Posted by NOV

He can try whatever ,if he has a background support him or he can afford to be patience for years (especially in cinema) .But just for becoming rich in a short while he learned everything in hurry and not outstanding in anything ,which cause the failure.
And one more message is "Aathula oru kaal ,sethula oru kaal iruntha onnume iruppathu" ..Atleast for me ,I didn't get any negative message ,though I am optimistic person.

People told me this movie supports Rajaji's 'KulaKalvi Thittam' .Though I am against 'KulaKalvi Thittam' ,I didn't see any connection .This movie didn't support 'kula thozhil' and not advicing cheran to raise his son also as a barbar.

True. No body can become rich overnight just because one has the passion to become rich. It needs lot of hard work, skills and talent. ChummA ellAthukkum aasapattA pOthumA - konjam buthiyaiyum use paNNanum. illEnnA AasaiyE alai pOlE -nu aayidum. I think thats what he tried to convey in the movie but failed with the executio part. Moreover, Cheran did not fit the role at all. Could have been done by one of those young and latest heros. Originally Posted by joe

Did chEran direct aadum koothu?? That film has won the national award (Best Regional film - Tamil)
http://www.ibnlive.com/news/national...t/46383-8.html
But anyway he has won an award for TT, best movie on family welfare . And I think Rajkiran deserves the award for the best actor more than Big B

Nerd,
Aadum Koothu is directed by TV Chandran. I read his interview in Anandha Vikatan last year. The film is about folk arts, Navya and Cheran is the lead pair.
I dont know what are the other films directed by him. Guess he is a malayalam films director.

Read a news in Today's Dinakaran on Cheran. He says after Raman Thediya Seethai, he is going to quit cinema and return to his village.
The article had few words censored with ..... the portions that dealt with his anger towards a news that linked him and padmapriya.

IMO Cheran's Porkalam is one of best movies ever produced in TFM. I cried a little when I saw that movie at some scenes. Even Superstar gave his gold chain to Cheran at Porkalam's silver jubliee function.
But now a days Cheran is suffering from over-confidence, head-weight, etc.

Partly agree considering his movies from Autograph. However, he was once in the league of great directors. What he did with Bharathi Kannamma was something even BR didn't do. We need *that* cheran back. Actor Cheran should rest for quite sometime at least for that. Originally Posted by VENKIRAJA

Mayakannadi brought out all the truth of a poor men and women's nature ..
Each and every frame he showed was absolutely true. Didnt you see all young guys who are from kuppam or whatever trying to be style with shoes and t.shirts. Dont you see girls who work in parlour envy their customers who just spend thousands of rupees on facials and etc. Dont you see guys requesting their friends bike to take their GF for a ride.. He did cover all those aspects and brought out in frame very well. Navya did a brilliant job as the girl working in parlour. When they go to a mobile store to ge the re-charge card navya will ask which is the cheapest and the person in store will say 200 rupees and look at navya's expression - mind blowing..
Mayakkannadi deserves all accolades but our people cant be judged at any time in any aspect be it politics or cinema they keep oscillating

My review one year ago....
maybe cheran took his own advice as stated in this movie.
Originally Posted by NOV

the beginning was good. romba edhaaththamaa irundhuchu. i was wondering why the film flopped....
but it is true, chEran's hairstyle stuck out, not for the reason mentioned earlier in this thread, but becos it drew attention to it rather than the character itself.
the film dragged on like a tv serial. title is maaya kannaadi - magic mirror. but that was what was precisely missing in the film - absolutely no magic.
nevertheless, i watched on. unfortunately i could guess everything that could happen.
yes, the film is full of cliches. you expect some thing to happen and it happens.
when rajkapoor asks him to come over, i knew exactly what was expected of chEran and what he would think.
indha latchanaththula kanavu scene vere.
why did chEran include the totally unnecessary rape scene? and why all those smooches? crowd pullers?
but the film itself was not bad (up to that point).
EXCEPT it belonged to the 80s rather than the present. everything of the film was jaded - the story, the screenplay, the songs, the music, everything! even chEran's dressing was so oh 80s.
as expected, chEran was in almost every frame of the film - deeply proving my point of same person acting and directing, being narcisstic. there was a lot of scope for character development of other people, but no, chEran musthave the entire screen appearance.
he could take lessons from KB on how to make even side characters interesting.
but even with all these "flaws" the film was at least watchable. or so i thought!
true that chEran missed a few moments when he could have capitalised on drama - which he just chose to underplay.
the film finished with his coming out of prison and making an important decision on his future. but wait, the preaching is not over yet. yes. the climax continues for another 15 minutes.
and then radharavi-chEran drops the bombshell!
maaya kannaadi DESERVES to be a flop - not just an ordinary flop but a total flop.
chEran says, "en kObam ellam vittu vittu vandhirukkEn. rOsham, gauravam, etc..."
and worse, he says, "en thagudhi ennaanu enakku ippO theriyudhu!"
for the sake of the youths, this film must flop!
ratha ravi says, "india Ezhai naadu, naama ellaam Ezhaigal:
and he goes on to say that poor people must not have such great expectations!!!!
his message: "work hard and don't expect results!"
"you may not get results in this generation or even the next. but you may find results in the third generation."
the film finishes on a note of chEran continuing to be a barber and refusing to take risks to change his future!
in conclusion, maaya kannadi is a total reverse of every single motivation message that you had ever read/heard/taught. it aims to destroy ambition. encourages one to continue doing what one does best without venturing. no one must attempt to change his station in life. dont take risks. accept your fate!
p/s: chEran's troubles only begin when he is required to pay Rs1.5 lakhs for a surgery. how he would have tackled this problem if he had not ventured beyond his station, ie continuing to be a barber - is not even thought of by the director.

Most 20ish young men and women, go for weird hair-do or trendy clothing caring a least about whether it lifts their image or stamps down badly. It takes few more years and few white hairs to realise all what is trend may not look good upon oneself. To realise THE BEST make up is TO SHOW WHAT U ARE!
As far as I know maayakannadi supposed to mean baffling or a mirror of ILLUSION not magic! PLZ!the film dragged on like a tv serial. title is maaya kannaadi - magic mirror. but that was what was precisely missing in the film - absolutely no magic.
You looked for MAGIC in reality movie
Why ?nevertheless, i watched on. probably u had all time?
or may be because something in his way of delivering MADE U STAY.
Unfortunately, most of us guess most things in most movies! except may be thrillersunfortunately i could guess everything that could happen.
Yes, same things happen in almost all our lives. Name of the character varies. OUR LIFE ITSELF IS A BIG CLICHE of other's lives around.yes, the film is full of cliches. you expect some thing to happen and it happens.
Gracious!but the film itself was not bad (up to that point).
So, u wanna have some mundane comedy clipping unrelated to the story, giggling away for nonsense? or kicking the other person using abusive words?as expected, chEran was in almost every frame of the film - deeply proving my point of same person acting and directing, being narcisstic. there was a lot of scope for character development of other people, but no, chEran musthave the entire screen appearance.
en sir, oruthan jail kku poitu vantha, "YOW velai thariya mudithaa rendula onnu solluda ippo" NNU hero vasanam pesanama?chEran says, "en kObam ellam vittu vittu vandhirukkEn. rOsham, gauravam, etc..."
Anything wrong?and worse, he says, "en thagudhi ennaanu enakku ippO theriyudhu!"
Mill owner oda payyana porantha, u would be MD next year. For a middle class person or lower middle class person, LADDER IS IN THE GROUND. He needs to first go up. STEP 1.ratha ravi says, "india Ezhai naadu, naama ellaam Ezhaigal: and he goes on to say that poor people must not have such great expectations!!!!
Simple!
en neenga barber shop la velai parthu naalaikkE veedu vangiduveengala?his message: "work hard and don't expect results!" "you may not get results in this generation or even the next. but you may find results in the third generation."
What do u expect nov? bharathiraja or balachandar or still better perarasu to spot him (from millions of youth running behind these illusions) and give him a chance.the film finishes on a note of chEran continuing to be a barber and refusing to take risks to change his future!
Director is all impressed!
Then cut!
Start camera scene 3! he is a superstar?????????
Watch the message carefully. IT did NOT say DONT DREAM.it aims to destroy ambition. encourages one to continue doing what one does best without venturing. no one must attempt to change his station in life. dont take risks. accept your fate!
A bird in hand is worth 2 in bush. Dream! First see to it, u have basic necessaties. THEN, u can move to take risks.
Pure economics!

Saw parts of the movie last night.
Cheran sparkles as a dialogue writer in the climax (Did he write the dialogues ? ) Movie was a below average if one considers his standards (@ Bharathi kannamma) . Climax Dialogue was great. But the message it conveyed was confusing. Couldn't agree with it though. Had he made this film as a real depiction of tamil film industry and the problems one might face - it would have appealed. BGM and songs - disappointing. Cheran going into the compromising mode ? hmm.. It might run into endless debate and cheran should have made his mind clear before this film.

I took one of my friends to this movie when it was released, avankitta nalla vaangi kattikitten. He didn't get the point and we were arguing endlessly. I think Cheran as a director failed there to pass the message across. His hairdo was irritating than the subject for most of us in the hall.
I don't like his movies that much, they fall between average and above average compared to other run-off-the mill stuff, that's all. His AG was good, that will be on top of his movies anyday.
