Veyil, released in late 2006 by director Shankar's production house S Pictures, was one of Tamil cinema's most appreciated films. Like the previous S Pictures movies, Kadhal and Imsai Arasan 23-am Pulikesi, Veyil, directed by debutant Vasantha Balan and starring Bharath, Pasupathi and Bhavana, also turned out to be a big box office hit.
Now, Veyil has achieved greater acclaim, much more than Shankar's earlier productions. It has been selected for screening at the Cannes film festival this year; the festival will be held from May 16-27. Veyil, which will be part of the Tous les Cinemas du Monde section, will be screened at the Le Cinema du Monde theatre at 6.30 pm on May 19.
Vasantha Balan scripted Veyil based on his own experiences, with his hometown Virudhunagar as the backdrop. "The protagonist in Veyil is inspired by my own younger brother. When I compared both of us, I felt there was a story that could be told," Balan had told rediff.com before the release of the film.
He had also said, "My characters may be based in a small place like Virudhunagar but the emotions are universal. Like love is universal, the relationships you see in the film are also universal." Perhaps it is this universality that attracted the Cannes festival authorities.
Vasantha Balan will be at Cannes during the screening, a first for a Tamil film.

Selva,
Oru Thamizh padam Cannes varaikkum pogudhu nu remba perumaya irukku... aana appadi pora padam Veyyil nu nenakkumbodhu vara azhugayum ninnududhu..
I liked the movie - talks about real people and real situations (not in the sense of true story. Rather, in the sense of realism).
However, i think it is not tightly/tautly written, just meanders, huffs and puffs along in some places. Having made the point, it just doesn't move along in some scenes. There's another reason which i don't want to delve into...
However, Bharath was the man of the match by a mile!
Pasupathy was good too but it was Bharath's role which stole the show for me...
P.S: Link please...

But that did not make up a major part of the movie,it wasn't a focal point they did not go in detail of their love story and all that i think it was like just nice kind of thing.
Whereas PV had alot of those dancing in the intial part and kuthu dance in the middle with the dance troop which i felt was not at all necessary.Just my view.

I felt that romance sequence in PV was too bad and the way it was executed made me feel as if the emotions didn't go well with the mind. The reasons on why the girl suddenly falls in love with the guy and the complete plot behind that looks childish and looked to me like a "Forced One"
If we take away the climax, I think it will be remembered just for its nice execution and "Natural Lights cinematography" (IMHO)
But, I think the background behind Veyyil was good and makes me feel it deserves more.
P.S: Watched the movie yesterday one more time. It was a treat to watch

Selva,
Regarding the climax part ,again let us agree to disagree.I didn't feel like 'Vakkiram' ,but I felt only the emotion behind it.
Regarding ,the reason for love is justifyable or not ,when people from other culture see this ,this may look odd ,but they will take it as there may be a cultural value behind this ..They will more concentrate on the flow and scenes rather than the reasons..I think they will take this better than usual duets.

Well, i thought the initial few minutes were superb in the film. Those are establishment scenes- establishing the characters, the culture, the sensibilities etc. The attention to detail shown is stunning. So is the BGM.
Fully agree with Selva that the 'romance' part sticks out like a sore thumb. This is can be said of the flashback sequences as well as the present scenes which lack depth and look contrived.
The stunt scene in the silambu ground was also poorly executed.
And Priya Mani's unconvincing performance didn't help either.
However, the worst scene for me is the scene where Priya Mani, out of the blue starts teaching carnatic music to the Village oldies. What the hell was that!?
The characterization is remarkable because you see characters we have rarely seen in Thamizh cinema. When was the last time we saw a protagonist who 'steals' a prostitute from a couple of 'truckers'? Or who feels his only identity and claim to fame is indicated by the time he does in prison or the kind of prison he goes to? You are waiting for that one scene where they show a redeeming quality in him, like a Robinhood-esque caricature that Tamil film dons and sandiyars are portrayed to be. But none comes. He is like that oNNLy!. indha madhiri characterization, adhuvum oru 'hero' ku kudukka dhairiyam venum. Adhu mattum illa, thaan nenachadha compromise seyyama (as far as possble) screen la kondu varadhu migavum paaratta thakka vishayam. Idhu en karuthu

Watching the stunt scene in PV, i was wondering if somebody had been a 'substitute' director for Ameer while filming this. Utterly amateurish!

Joe,
I didn't speak anything bad about the climax in my previous reply. I just said that the movie will fit into that limits if we take away the climax from the movie. Like how SARAVANAN ( Sevvaazhai
) put in the JEYA TV Interview "The most important thing in the movie is the climax. The climax provided the necessary BANG. Otherwise, people would have come out of the theatre with the remark " Dei ... Comedy padam daa ""
That says it all
Reg the romance part, sorry Joe. couldn't agree with you. I have seen many cute romance sequences in BR / etc's movies that were not only real but also a bit more natural. Had Ameer concentrated on the romance part, he could have won hands down for giving a "Classic". That part and other things makes PV from being a classic. "Nalla padangalil idhuvum ondru. aanaal sirantha padamaa? endru ennidam kettal ILLAI. The same applies partially to veyyil and I feel it deserves to be at the CANNES compared to PV" Again, Let us agree to disagree
Bala,
Agree with you fully on PV. The second paragraph
Ameer is really bold in such things. btw, Tamil industry had already seen many heroes (not really heroes.. but actors) like that. There are many examples. Only thing is that: Such characters are tagged as "Negative characters" rather than as "Heroes"
I felt that had Ameer concentrated on romance (not sure the same guy gave Mounam pesiyathey) then he could have given a movie like "Moondram Pirai", "Guna" etc I didn't feel the pain of separation in the context of romance in PV when I left the theatre whereas the feel was for different reason ( IMHO)

On Veyyil:
One of the few things which I loved in VEYYIL is the "Veyilodu Vilayaadu" song. It just lists out an array of things the kids in the region will do ( at times by harvesting the solar energy
)
1) Pouring Sand on the top of a paper and using the magnet and playing with the sand
2) Conducting a RACE with cycle tyres
3) Playing out in the rain continuously till it stops
4) Using thin films and a lens and screening a film
5) Playing "Kitti" under the hot sun ( Nowadays, it is cricket
)
6) typical series of "PALTI"s
7) Pambaram vilayaadurathu
8) 3 kuzhi KOLI GUNDU !
:P
P.S: Too bad, I miss them

I am not clear about the conversation. This is one scene which I didn't expect. :P

Exactly, that's what i meant
To put it in another way, the hero is a homogeneous mass of 'goodness' in almost all Tamil films. Either that or he is an ex-baddie who gets reformed to a homogenous mas of goodness
Its always been either black or white

Hope you mean Heros potrayed as Flawless and never do anything wrong or everything he did were justified.
Few comes to my mind are..
1.Ratha Kaneer - MR radha ..Did almost everything wrong and never justified ,but not branded as negative character
2.Puthiya Paravai - NT as a guity murderer
3.Paar Magale Paar - NT as a gulty egoistic father ,not justified
4.To some extend -NT's characters in Gowrawam and Thillana Moganambal which are egoistic and not justified.
5.Amaithi Padai - I think Villain sathiyaraj was treated as Hero ,not justied ,not branded as negative.
These come to mind instantly.

Thillana Mohanambal - no way!

I think what Bala refers to is : LEAD CHARACTERS portrayed as "Negative characters" without an additional hero. May be : A Hero who doesn't become a DEMI-GOD in the middle and rescues the people or someone who feels for his actions etc.
I think "Ratha Kanneer" almost fits into this category.

Joe,
I accept that point - NT, inspite of being of being a mass hero, didn't hesitate to act in "negative" characters. No doubt. But what i am referring to is a bit different. Irrespective of the hero, even if its NT Or Aandavar (except Virumaandi), either those negative characters would be one part in a double role (or more), or the character would be reformed, or the negative 'part' will be negligible or trivial.

Powerful indeed and he was the hero of hte film
Bala,
Nope. In Amarkalam, at one point, he feels for his actions and it won't come here. To be short: THALA had not done such dare-devil roles till now. But I would love to see him playing roles similar to john travolta.

It is a record not to be too proud of after so many years only one film is selected but kudos to Veyyil and Vasanth for making a great and realistic movie.Hopefully many will soon follow suit

கேன்ஸ் விழாவுக்கு வெயில், பள்ளிக்கூடம்
பிரான்ஸ் நாட்டின் கேன்ஸ் நகரில் நடைபெறவுள்ள திரைப்பட விழாவில் தங்கர் பச்சானின்
பள்ளிக்கூடம், வசந்தபாலனின்
வெயில் ஆகிய படங்கள் கலந்துகொள்ளவுள்ளன.
ஆஸ்கர் விருதுக்கு அடுத்தபடியாக உலகத் திரை ஆர்வலர்களால் அதிகம் எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுவது கேன்ஸ் திரைப்பட விழா. உலகின் பல்வேறு மொழிப் படங்கள் இங்கு திரையிடப்படும்.
இந்த ஆண்டு நடைபெறவுள்ள கேன்ஸ் திரைப்பட விழாவில் பங்கேற்க இயக்குநர் அமீரின் கைவண்ணத்தில் உருவாகி, வெளியாகி, வெற்றியும் பெற்றுள்ள
பருத்தி வீரன் கலந்து ெகாள்கிறது.
தற்ேபாது மேலும் இரு தமிழ்ப் படங்கள் கேன்ஸ் விழாவுக்கு செல்லவுள்ளன.
வசந்தபாலன் இயக்கத்தில் வெளியான வெற்றிப் படம் வெயில் அதில் ஒன்று. ஷங்கர் தயாரிப்பில் உருவான இப்படத்தில் பரத், பசுபதி, பாவனா உள்ளிட்ேடார் நடித்துள்ளனர். ஆங்கில சப் டைட்டில் கார்டுடன் வெயில் கேன்ஸ் சென்றுள்ளது.
அதேபோல தங்கர் பச்சானின் பள்ளிக்கூடம் படமும் கேன்ஸ் விருதுக்கு அனுப்பப்பபட்டுள்ளது.
விஸ்வாஸ் சுந்தர் தயாரிப்பில், தங்கர் இயக்கத்தில் உருவாகியுள்ள இப்படத்தில் சினேகா, நரேன், மீனாள் உள்ளிட்ேடார் நடித்துள்ளனர். தங்கரும் முக்கிய வேடத்தில் வருகிறார்.
படித்த பள்ளிக்கூடத்தை மறக்காதவர்கள் நிறையப் பேர். ஆனால் அந்தப் பள்ளிக்கூடத்தை மீண்டும் எட்டிப்பார்ப்பவர்கள் மிகவும் குறைவு. நமக்கு எல்லாவற்றையும் கற்றுத் தரும் கூடம்தான் பள்ளிக்கூடம். 75 ஆண்டு கால பாரம்பரியம் உள்ள பள்ளிக்கூடத்துக்கு ஒரு பிரச்சினை வருகிறது.
அந்தப் பிரச்சினையை அப்பள்ளிக்கூடத்தில் படித்த முன்னாள் மாணவர்கள் சிலர் சேர்ந்து எப்படிக் காப்பாற்றுகிறார்கள் என்பதுதான் இப்படத்தின் கதை என்கிறார் தங்கர்.
கருத்துள்ள படமான பள்ளிக்கூடத்தில் படித்த பள்ளியிலேேய ஆசிரியையாக வேலை பார்ப்பவராக சினேகா, கலெக்டராக நரேன், 10வது வரை படித்து விட்டு கூலியாக இருக்கும் தங்கர்பச்சன், திரைப்பட இயக்குநராக சீமான், கிராமத்து செவிலிப் பெண்ணாக ஷ்ரேயா ரெட்டி ஆகிேயார் நடித்துள்ளனர்.
ேகன்ஸ் விழா மே 16ம் தேதி தொடங்கி 27ம் தேதி வரை நடைபெறுகிறது. விழா இறுதியில் சிறந்த படங்கள், கலைஞர்களுக்கு விருது வழங்கப்படும்.

They are also producing good movies ( OMKARA ). But mentality and taste is different. Few and attimes most of them are having a feeling as if tamil films are bad and Bollywood is the only industry which is producing good films.
Almost 4 Hindi films are sent. I donno why they oppose veyyil

PV and Veyil have been sent to Cannes just for screening and not for awards, only Pallikoodam will compete with other movies, says Thangar Bachchan. Is this really true?

Veyyil was an amazing movie!
Very touching.
Glad to see that it's getting some sort of recognition, even if not at home.

I too felt that the song was unnecesary and bit irritating initially, but when I listened to the song in FM and all, I really liked the song is composed.
Anyway, when films are sent to festivals and competitions, they are properly edited.
Songs are for commercial purposes. They can be thrown out for competition purpose.
Anyway, veyyil was one of the milestone film in Tamil.
