THALA AJITH ANIYUM KREEDOM- Part III

கிரீடம் -விகடன் விமரிசனம்

மகன் அஜீத்தை சப்&இன்ஸ் பெக்டர் ஆக்கி சல்யூட் அடிக்கும் சந்தோஷத்துக்காக ஏங்குகிறார், ஏட்டு அப்பா ராஜ்கிரண். பாசமான அப்பாவின் ஆசையை நிறைவேற்ற அஜீத்தும் மெனக் கெடுகிறார். எம்.எல்.ஏ&விடம் பணிந்து போகாததால் கோடியக் கரைக்குத் தூக்கியடிக்கப்படுகிறார் ராஜ்கிரண். ஒரு தகராறில் லோக்கல் தாதாவிடம் அடி வாங்கும் ராஜ்கிரணைக் காப்பாற்ற, தாதாவைப் புரட்டியெடுக்கிறார் அஜீத். இதனால் ‘ஏரியா புது தாதா’ இமேஜ் அஜீத்தை வட்டமடிக்க, பழைய தாதா குரூப்பின் வன்மமும் சூழ்ந்துகொள்கிறது.

அஜீத் போலீஸ் இன்டர்வியூவில் தேறினாரா, தாதாவின் வன்மப் பகை என்ன ஆயிற்று, ஆசைப்பட்ட போலீஸ் கிரீடம் த(¬)லக்குக் கிடைத்ததா என்பதே கிளைமாக்ஸ்!

மலையாள சூப்பர் ஹிட் கதையைத் தமிழுக்கு ஏற்றாற்போலச் செதுக்கியிருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர்

விஜய். தன் அறிமுகப் படத்திலேயே ஆக்ஷன் ஹீரோ கால்ஷீட் என்பதற்காக ஆக்ஷனில் மட்டுமே அதிரடிக்காமல், சென்டிமென்ட் கை பிடித்து நடந்திருக்கும் துணிச்சலுக்கு சல்யூட்!

அஜீத்தா இது! இடையில் தொலைந்து போன துறுதுறுப்பு மறுபடி முழுசாக! ‘முதல்ல பையன், அப்புறம் பொண்ணு’ என த்ரிஷாவிடம் வம்பிழுப்பதிலும், ஆக்ஷன் பிளாக்குகளில் சடாரென வெடித்துவிட்டு, உடனே துடிதுடித்துக் கண் கலங்குவதிலும் க்ளாஸ்!

‘பிராண்ட் நியூ மொபைல்’ போல பளபள, கலகல த்ரிஷா! ஆனால், அம்மணிக்கு வழக்கமான தமிழ் சினிமா ‘லூஸ§ப் பெண்’ கேரக்டர்தான். காதல் ததும்பும் பார்வைகளை மின்னலாக வீசிச் சமாளிக்கிறார். அன்பான அப்பா & அம்மா என பழக்கமான கிரவுண்டில் பழகிய பார்ட்னர்களாக சரண்யா & ராஜ்கிரண். இங்கும் ரசிக்க வைக்கி றார்கள்! காமெடி காக்டெயிலை விவேக்கும் சந்தானமும் சரிபாதியாகக் குலுக்குகிறார்கள்.

ஆக்ஷன் காட்சிகளுக்குப் பின்னணி இசையில் பலம் சேர்த்திருக்கும் ஜி.வி.பிரகாஷின் இசையில் ‘அக்கம் பக்கம்’ பாடல் மட்டும் மென்மெலடியாக மனதில் தங்குகிறது.

திருவின் கேமரா, படத்தின் ஆகப் பெரிய ப்ளஸ். அடர் மஞ்சள் பின்னணியில் அடக்கமாக நகரும் காட்சிகள்... ஆக்ஷன் சமயங்களில் அத்தனை வேகம்... கோபம்..!

முன் பாதி முழுவதும் ‘அப்ளாஸ்’ வாங்க, பின் பாதியில் ஏனோ வறட்சி... அயர்ச்சி! காமெடி, காதல், ஆக்ஷன் என எதைத் தொட்டாலும் தேவைக்கும் மேலே நீள்வது சலிப்பு. செல்போன் என்கிற வஸ்துவையே படத்தில் வசதியாக மறந்துவிட்டார்கள். லேண்ட் லைனில் ஆளைப் பிடிக்க முடியாவிட்டால் அடுத்த பஸ் பிடித்து, 200 கி.மீட்டர் பயணிக்க ஆரம்பித்து விடுகிறார்கள்.

படத்தில் அநியாயத்துக்கு அடிக்கடி பவர் கட் காட்சிகள், சோப்ளாங்கியாக போலீஸ், திடீரென காணாமல் போகிற த்ரிஷா... இப்படி ஓட்டைகள் நிறைய! கூடவே, மொழுமொழு முகம், முள் தாடி என அஜீத்துக்கு கன்டினியூட்டி மிஸ்ஸிங் வேறு!

ரத்தம் சிந்தும் வன்முறை, முகம் சுளிக்கும் ஆபாசம் இல்லாமல், அப்பா& மகன் சென்டிமென்ட் கதையைத் தரமான படமாகக் கொடுத்த வகையில் கவனம் ஈர்க்கிறார் இயக்குநர். ஆனால், அந்த சென்டி மென்ட்டை அளவோடு வைத்து, முதல் பாதி வேகத்தை இரண்டாம் பாதியிலும் தக்க வைத்திருந்தால், கிரீடம் பள பளவென மின்னியிருக்கும்!

40/100

Original is a Classic and if you see that you will know why we are stressing on that :P

Selva,
Forget about Kreedom ..But I can't agree with you if you generalise .You sounds like Class movie must have negative ending ..Whether the movie is class is not just decided by the type of ending .There are many class movies with not negative ending and just because of negative ending ,no movie will be called Class.

From: selvakumar on 27th July 2007 11:14 AM [Full View]

Joe,
I am not sure why you are PULLING US INTO THE ARGUEMENT. When AJay anna was referring to Mugavari sometime back, I told him that I prefer the FIRST ENDING. You know that !

Joe, You have made me to feel as if I am on the other side of the boat.
I never said that ALL MOVIES WITH NEGATIVE ENDINGS ARE CLASS movies. I ruled out a latest movies in the classics' list and that movie had a negative ending

|||ly I know few movies that have a +ve ending as well. CLASS itself is a relative term. I don't want to use it. I said Original was a classic. Wibha asked why ajithfans love negative endings. I said we prefer it for movies like Mugavari and Kireedom and not for masala movies ! Hope I am clear

& I have seen people appreciating a movie as a CLASS movies just coz it has a negative ending

Mugavari is something believable. Namakku sila ambitions irukkum. But namma family oda nelamayinaala, irukkirathila vaazha pazhagikkuvoem. Mugavari had that. It is not something incredible.

It was down to earth, natural and appealing

Selva,
Out of your huge love on Ajith ,I feel you sometimes put a blame on all others as if everybody trying to ditch Ajith all the time ,which I don't understand.

Many Ajith fans here sounds like ..Thamizh nattula ulla ellorum Ajith-a kedukkurathe avanga muzhu nera thozhila vachirukkura maathiri sollureenga .

Konjam veLipadaya solluren .Thappu iruntha mannichirunga.

Not exactly. I didn't comment like this for Aalwaar. I commented on people's peception and their bias only on ajith. I am not referring to general public here who made Varalaaru a blockbuster. I am referring to the so called critics who sit in their rooms to write a review based on their own perception on a star.
If any other star had acted in this film (I don't want to mention the names) they would have praised this film sky high.
When it comes to ajith, they try to find faults all the time.
"Niyaayam ellathukkum onnuthaan".
Till now, I have never seen any reviews complaining about ajith's dialogue delivery for Varalaaru. But we have people who still complain about that.
Those people won't put the blame on others if any of their favorite hero goes bad on dialogue delivery.

Ajith ai mattum ivvithamaa thandipathai oru fan-aal mattumae unara mudiyum.

Ithuvarai "Punch dialogue, Heroism etc" endru sonnaanga. Athukapuram "masala padam thaan pannuvaarn" endru sonnaargal.
Ippozuthu -ve ending vendaam endru sollugiraaragal
Ithu ungalukkae nallathaa paduthaa !

P.S: For e.g, our crajkumar gave a review for this movie and said he was disappointed with it. We never put the blame on him. We never took sify's review by heart & celebrated it. There we ARE !

Yes..Yes...the director is supposed to have a shot like ajith shaving on that day morning or "4 naatkalukku piragu" depending upon the level of dhaadi in his face. otherwise this reviewer will not be able to understand these things.....

Its good that he didnt wrote all people in the movie are not brushing their teeth before they have food

half boiled!!

this proves that there is nothing much -ve other than these trivial things and -ve ending to the story

for them to criticise to show their medhavi thanam in review.

discussion on -ve end +ve end etc., is wrong. the one kreedom has is right ending for its story path.....like paruthiveeran!! Also mugavari ending is reality in million peoples life...which is again right for the story path.

Now a days some people making strero type movies with opening song, opening fight, attacking punch dialogue, 2 kuthu song with heroine, asattu comedy, standard comedian, one or more sumo rowdies, 5 fight sequence, EXPECTED ending nu group of makkal taste a keduthu vechurukanga.

Thala will break the rules & barrier as always!! Kireedom is a winner!!

I think you feel like "Ajith pathi etha -ve ah sonnaalum atha avanga fans thittuvaanga endru. It is not like that. We do accept few things / take it as others' perception on ajith. But when those things go overboard, we voice our opinion / opposition on that"

& joe,
At any day, I will put my money more on an ajith movie than a Thala movie. Just see - I rate Kireedom more than any other ajith film. There I am and I am about to see it many times. I saw varalaaru a lot of times.

I love when he comes up with things like this and I support him throughout.

NT movies are not exceptional ,just because NT acted in it .And I can clearly see your intention to bring NT here

From: thirutu_payal on 27th July 2007 12:15 PM [Full View]

Till now, I have never seen any reviews complaining about ajith's dialogue delivery for Varalaaru. But we have people who still complain about that.

Rajini vaangatha criticisma nanba, inniki claps & whistle venumna avanavan Rajini maari mimicri pannuran. Thala keeps his originality...thats his speciality...people like that...thats why he is thala today...they know he is a winner, by criticizing him they can get fame. This simple logic was used by the other actor to boast him as a competitor in the next slot..

Ithuvarai "Punch dialogue, Heroism etc" endru sonnaanga. Athukapuram "masala padam thaan pannuvaarn" endru sonnaargal. Ippozuthu -ve ending vendaam endru sollugiraaragal
Ithu ungalukkae nallathaa paduthaa !

Whatever they say doesnt matter...Varalaaru was the proof if people like the content, no one can stop it by false publicity. Alwar was the proof that even if the content is bad, Thala has tremendous power to save the business. Now, kireedom is the proof thala can give mass & class that too in the same movie.

IMO, Climax may be -ve, but it is the +ve strength of kireedom story line & success. Educated shud not forget that media is a business & money matters there. Some do it obviously (sify, sun tv) and some others more covered & depending on their advantage at that time (AV). But they influence people to some extent thats why they get money. So best of the best people shud be able to differentiate Paal & Kall.

I can surely understand your concern .It happened to me also as a NT fan and kamal fan .

KamalHassan-kku varatha sothanaiya ? kamal Hassan enna panninalum athai kurai sollurathukku oru kootam illaiya ?

With all these ,Kamal stands out and became a Legend.

Ajith has long way to go ..IMO ,He has not tried his best so far to be this must disppointments from you fans .He tried to do exceptional roles in only countable movies and succeed and failed in some ..So IMO ,He needs much more to try and achive.

Not only Ajith all the contemporaries have a LONG way to go and Ajith definitely is ahead of many contemporaries ! Thats the fact. Defining what is 'best' it self is a subjective matter. And there is nothing called 'best' that any one can deliver in just one movie. Can we say Kamal has given his best? If so in which movie? It's a gradual improvement that'ss needed and Ajith is definitely on that track.

From: Bayam Ariyaan on 27th July 2007 12:49 PM [Full View]

I honestly don't understand all these bollocks issues about negative endings.

Bloody hell, the way some people talk is as if every bloody human being in life has had a rollercoaster of a time till he goes six feet under.

A lot of movies are inspired from real life situations so in real life do people always enjoy happy endings?

Although they say there's reel life and real life, making a movie is one thing, making it enjoyable is another thing and making it realistic is a totally different thing.

Although there are audiences with sub zero levels of IQ who would constantly prefer their heroes winning every battle they engage themselves in, even if it means taking on the whole American army (ground troops, air force, marine, etc) and beating seven shades out of them singlehandedly while uttering a punch dialouge to proclaim victory, there are large parts who would prefer watching movies that they or any man on the street can relate to.

Take Nayagan for example. I've watched it more than 50 times and till today I never got bored coz although the hero dies in the end despite not being a baddie (in the very sense of the word), it brilliantly illustrated the phrase "you live by the sword, you die by the sword. And things like this happens in real life.

Even Parutheveeran I would say I enjoyed it contrary to some coz having never lived in a village before it was great to watch even more so since the movie's realism is very good.

Which is why I would safely consider Mugavari to be a masterpiece from all angles. I faced a lot of hardship before achieving something in life and there are people who go through far worse beyond what words can describe and are still shedding tears today.

So those who just sit back, warm their arse and keep going on and on about movies with negative endings should get a life or better still go and watch two old ladies slap each other. There's bound to be a positive ending there to fulfil their needs.

Do you see I go to all contemporay actor's thread and discuss ?

..That shows I consider Ajith as a notable actor.

I have edited my previous post. This is how it goes..

Not only Ajith all the contemporaries have a LONG way to go and Ajith definitely is ahead of many contemporaries ! Thats the fact. Defining what is 'best' it self is a subjective matter. And there is nothing called 'best' that any one can deliver in just one movie. Can we say Kamal has given his best? If so in which movie? It's a gradual improvement that'ss needed and Ajith is definitely on that track.

With all these ,Kamal stands out and became a Legend.

Ajith has long way to go ..IMO ,He has not tried his best so far to be this must disppointments from you fans .He tried to do exceptional roles in only countable movies and succeed and failed in some ..So IMO ,He needs much more to try and achive.

hope you take it in right spirit

Joe Anna,
U r perfectly right.
Criticisms r always there......its just the test which separates very good actors and legends.
As thiruttu_payal also mentioned media is just business...they just do what benefits them.....we cannot blame them too....ITS STRICTLY BUSINESS

As Joe mentioned Kamal was and is being criticized for everything he does.
As thiruttu_payal mentioned Rajini was thrashed around by the media and even termed him as men**l in the early 80s......but he has proved everyone wrong through sheer performance and box office power......now the media can never dare to attack for Rajini anything.

Thats what we want from THALA......he should keep performing and succeed against odds....thats what one needs to attain super stardom

So we should not just blame *others* for all the negatives things done against THALA

"One's life is determined by his own actions"

THALA deserves everything he gets...be it positive or negative

Everybody have room to improve and still a way to go.

But Since You call kamal ,I have to tell this .

When we compare actors ,we should compare what they achived in same age.

kamal has given 16 vayathinile when he was just around 25 and salangai oli when he was under 30 ..He has done Nayagan when he was younger than now Ajith and Vijay ,I beleive ..See the difference .Needn't to mention about NT.

I think it's gone completely out of context. My response was to your post - when u said Ajith has not given his best yet. AthukkuthAn andha question and I was never trying to compare him with KH. But you had taken the discussion to another level.

THe fact is no body can dare comparing any one with KH !!

A SHOWCASE OF EMOTIONS: Kireedam

Kireedam

Genre: Action
Director: Vijay
Cast: Ajith, Trisha, Rajkiran, Vivek
Storyline: A young man aspiring to be a police officer is caught in the crossfire from which there’s no reprieve.

Bottomline: The relevance of the title beats you!

As the Sujatha Cine Arts’ logo is beamed on the screen and the ebullient (though grey haired) producer-actor K. Balaji swivels around with a genial smile, you cannot but get nostalgic. Presented by Adlabs, ‘Kireedam’ (U) showcases T amil cinema’s alluring screen pair, Ajith and Trisha. It’s a casting coup for first time writer-director Vijay.

Looking well-toned and incredibly youthful, Ajith makes a mark both with his appearance and expressions. And matching him equally in the two departments is an awesome Trisha.

Talented cast

For an involved essay you have Rajkiran, for experience and expertise you find KPAC. Lalitha and for a spontaneous, natural portrayal there’s Charanya. And with Vivek and Santhanam bolstering up the show with their levity, what more can you ask for? Or so you think, till the climax opens.

Rajarajan (Rajkiran) is always dreaming of a bright career in the Police Department for his eldest son Shaktivel (Ajith) and as a responsible son, Shakti is all set to make dad’s dream a reality. But Fate has rather gruesome plans for Shakti. A don and his henchmen are in the wings to take over the reins of Shaktivel’s future in their hands and mess it up.

Come to think of it, the real villain of the piece is Rajarajan. Neither prudent nor worldly wise it is his injudicious actions that land Shakti in trouble. But not once does he express remorse. In fact he goes on increasing your ire with his bird brained approach — a major setback for the character. Very rarely Rajkiran’s performance borders on melodrama, but on the whole it’s a commendable show.

Vijay could have worked on the character more. That Ajith is honing his acting skills with every film is indisputable, nowhere does he overdo things. Likewise Trisha — she shines in emotions.

On the technical front, the unobtrusive nature of Thiru’s camera evident in the indoor scene in which the family chases one another in the cramped household, the tones in the climactic shots and lighting as a whole need mention.

G.V.Prakash’s ‘Vilaiyaadu …’ has a familiar ring to it. The lyric (Na. Muthukumar) of the number makes an impact with the thoughts it conveys. Antony’s editing has a significant part to play, and does its bit to maintain the tempo till the end.

Vijay has neatly packaged a strong storyline with a sensibly balanced mix of sentiment and action. At no point does the film sag.

Yet the last 10 minutes somehow seem to pull the rug from under the audience’s feet. The Malayalam inspiration is fine and the end need not be stereotypical. But to the Tamil commercial film buff, strong reasons for the deviation and the means to that end are important — areas which could leave the viewer bewildered.

From: smith1 on 27th July 2007 01:48 PM [Full View]

I agree with a few hubbers who say that ajith fans always think that the media is against ajith.

One reason could be that ajith avoids the media & does not feed info.

But during his slump before varalaru, there were many mags which were sympathetic to ajith.

Regarding his performance, one point is that he still has a long way to go with respect to his dialogue delivery. It showed badly specially in the citizen climax.

As Joe rightly said, he has tried to do exceptional roles in only countable movies.

If U consider performance - only vaali, mugavari & varalaru come to mind.

Also, in comparison to other actors it would be childish to compare him to kamal & rajini. Let's leave that.

In comparison with his contemporaries like vikram & surya, he suffers (in terms of range of roles).

He has acted close to about 50 films (I suppose).

By this time, he should have been far ahead than what he is now. But it is not to be.

He is primarily to blame for most of his flops. A few like citizen can be blamed on the director, but others?

If he still in circulation, it is bcos of the tremendous opening his films get & the goodwill of his fans & producers.

It is time he tried to balance his star & actor status.

He must decide whether he wants to go the rajini way or the kamal way.

It is pertinent to note that kamal hinted that ajith was following in his footsteps & encouraged him.

But he has failed to live upto that.

Jeo,

The reason has to be clear and should be clearly visible to everyone on how a person liked / disliked a particular movie.

We always ruled out SIFY when it comes to ajith movies except few things. We never said we don't like negative endings.
We never projected the climax as the only good climax on earth just coz of this film

Neenga "Indha padathula appadi iruppathaal mattumae, naana appreciate pannuratha sonneenga. Atharukku naangal vilakkam koduthoem"

If you think that ajith has not done anything *best* till now (or upto his level), then let it be. IMO, A film like Varalaaru is a prime example for his caliber and choice of roles.

If we apply the age equation to ALL, few of the contemporaries will vanish immediately irrespective of their movies / awards / BO successes

(for ur quote on smith's post)
smith, your post is lot more confusing. How long you guys are going to repeat his DIALOGUE DELIVERY thing?

Irrespective of his improvements, you people are keen to rewind yourself to this old thing. Problem is not in his DELIVERY. But in his voice. Even that he has improved and he is continuing to improve. His DD is much better than many actors of this generation. Just with his voice, you people are bashing his DD

Varalaaru had many scenes in which he excelled in DD except for his 2 to 3 places where his pronunciation wasn't upto the mark.

and still livingi n citizen period

This is 2007 ! I cannot blame KH or his acting by rewinding to his performances in not-so-good movies. THat will be a SIN. By going back to Moondraam pirai period, I cannot say that he won't be able to do movies like 10A. Enna logic idhu !

You are right smith.
Media is not specifically against THALA....they r just doing their business
Media was totally against his competitor during the late 90s. They was unanimous support for THALA bcos of his consistent BO success and his razor sharp straight talks.

But now THALA is inconsistent in BO and also he has gone into a shell by not opening his mouth and not providing anything for the media.

So the media is RIGHT in abandoning THALA....its strictly business.

Its simple smith...THALA is an actor who has become a star

His success doesnt depend on his choice of way but the choice of his scripts and nothing else......Whatever be the genre of the movie.....it shud be interesting.

Changing the climax to suit a section of people doesn't mean that the movie is not doing good.

We have heard stories where a movie in Malayalam called Harikrishnans had 2 versions in North and South Kerala.

But here Kireedom having Dual versions w.r.t climax is to satisfy the Thala fans in the interior parts of TN mainly.

Leo,
harikrishnan's case was diff. When it was released itself it had 2 climaxes. In the areas where mulsims were in a majority, mamootty was shown as marrying jhi chawla whereas in areas where hindus were in a majority, mohanlal was shown as the beneficiary.

The director fazil was roundly criticised for this.

Otherwise climax is usually changed only when there is a negative response.

It is also done when the producers/theatre owners feel it will bring in more crowds.

It happened to mugavari.

Regarding the Dialog Delivery, he has been improving in every film.

In Kireedom , his dialog delivery is absolutely fine.

Not exactly. I didn't comment like this for Aalwaar. I commented on people's peception and their bias only on ajith. I am not referring to general public here who made Varalaaru a blockbuster. I am referring to the so called critics who sit in their rooms to write a review based on their own perception on a star.
If any other star had acted in this film (I don't want to mention the names) they would have praised this film sky high.
When it comes to ajith, they try to find faults all the time.
"Niyaayam ellathukkum onnuthaan".
Till now, I have never seen any reviews complaining about ajith's dialogue delivery for Varalaaru. But we have people who still complain about that.
Those people won't put the blame on others if any of their favorite hero goes bad on dialogue delivery.

Ajith ai mattum ivvithamaa thandipathai oru fan-aal mattumae unara mudiyum.

P.S: For e.g, our crajkumar gave a review for this movie and said he was disappointed with it. We never put the blame on him. We never took sify's review by heart & celebrated it. There we ARE !

Very very well said bro...... mathavanga kannuku (reviewers) Ajith oda kuralgal mattume theriyudhu nu naanum nenaikaren.

BTW vikatan review looks good guys. Continuity and logic matter free vidunga and regarding end comments I also felt 2nd half could be crisper....but over all review seems to be positive.

One more proof of Kreedam going solid is they have increased the show times here in Bay area. weekend total 10 shows and 2 shows on every weekday(thats something amazing guys!).

Guys can someone from Ashok nagar/ KK nagar confirm if Kireedam is also running in Udhayam or mini Udhayam (not sure which though!). May be this is a fake news too, but some people report posters of kireedam in Udhayam too!!

2 theatres in same area

Most of Thala fans do like the ending

Thala fans are not stereo type replay watchers...

They love challenge and risk themselves like Thala to evolve and achieve greater heights

Kireedom strikes gold as an excellent Classic. I am now becoming greedy to see the sequel Chengol as well in Tamil in the form of action packed Mass...only Thala can do both and fit for doing both. :P

மகன் சக்திவேல் எஸ்.ஐ. ஆகவேண்டும்.’ இதுதான் அந்த சாதாரண ஏட்டு அப்பாவின் கனவு. மகனும் எஸ்.ஐ. தேர்வில் பாஸாகிவிடுகிறான். எல்லாம் கை கூடிவரும் நேரம் விதி விளையாடுகிறது. நடுவீதியில் அப்பாவை அடித்த ரௌடியை மகன் திருப்பி அடிக்கிறான். அப்பாவின் கனவு முழுவதும் தகர்கிறது. இவ்வளவுதான் கதையே.

அப்பா_மகன் செண்டி-மென்ட், ரௌடி குறுக்கீடு. இதெல்லாம் பழசுதான். என்றாலும் யதார்த்தமான கதைப் பின்னலால் உட்கார வைத்துவிடுகிறார் இயக்குநர்.

சக்திவேலாக வரும் அஜீத் ஆக்டிங், ஆக்ஷன், காதல் என்று கலந்து சுட்டி அடிக்கிறார். அடக்க ஒடுக்கமான, அப்பா பேச்சைத் தட்டாத, வேலைக்காகக் காத்திருக்கும் நடுத்தர வர்க்கத்து இளைஞர்களின் வார்ப்பாக மிளிர்கிறார் அஜீத். அப்பாவைத் தாக்கிய ரௌடியை நடுவீதியில் புரட்டி எடுக்கும்போது அவர் காட்டும் வீராவேசம் படத்-துக்கு பலம். ஒதுங்கிப்போனாலும் தன்னையும் தன் குடும்பத்தாரையும் தாக்கும் ரௌடிகளிடம் குமுறு-கிறார். தனக்கு பதில் தன் தம்பியை காக்கிச் சட்டைபோட்டு அப்பாவின் கனவை நிறைவேற்றும்படி கேட்கும் இடம் டச்சிங். காதல் காட்சிகளில் கலகலப்பூட்டுகிறார். பிள்ளையார் சிலையைத் திருடுவதன்-மூலம் த்ரிஷாவின் மனசையும் திருடுகிறார். காதல், டூயட் என்று எதிலும் முகம் சுழிக்க வைக்காத நல்ல பிள்ளையாக வந்து போகிறார் அஜீத்.

த்ரிஷா வரும் இடங்களில் காதலும் உண்டு. நடிப்பும் உண்டு. அஜீத்தைத் திருடன் என்று நினைத்து, அஜீத் வீட்டிற்குள்ளேயே சென்று தேடுவது நல்ல கலகலப்பு. டூயட் காட்சிகளில் கிரங்க வைக்கிறார். த்ரிஷாவுக்கு கட்அவுட் வைத்ததில் தப்பேயில்லை.

ஏட்டுவாக வரும் ராஜ்கிரண், அப்பா செண்டிமென்ட்டுக்கு என்றே முத்திரை குத்தப்பட்டிருக்கிறார். அம்மா சரண்யா நடிப்பில் இயல்பு.

வீட்டோடு மாப்பிள்ளையாக வந்து பஞ்ச் டயலாக்கில் சிரிக்க வைக்கிறார் விவேக். ஆனால், அஜீத் ரவுடியை அடித்ததை சாக்காக வைத்து மாமூல் கேட்டு கலாய்ப்பது எடுபடவில்லை.

வசனம் கை கொடுத்திருக்கும் அளவிற்கு பாடலும் இசையும் கை கொடுக்கவில்லை. ஆனால் பாடல்களுக்கான ஒளிப்-பதிவுகள் மனதில் ஒட்டிக்கொள்-கின்றன. காவிரிப் படுகையையும் பாலத்தையும் இரவு நேர கோடியக்கரை கடலையும் வித்தியாச-மாக தரிசனப்படுத்தி-யிருக்கிறார் ஒளிப்பதிவாளர்.

த்ரிஷாவின் காதலுக்கு ஒரு நல்ல முடிவு சொல்லாமல் கழட்டிவிடுவது, பார்த்துப் பார்த்து சலித்த ரௌடி மாமூல் காட்சிகள் என்று சில தடுமாற்றங்கள் இருந்தாலும், அடுத்தடுத்த எதிர்பார்ப்புகளுடன் ஒரு நடுத்தர குடும்பத்தின் நிறைவேறாத கனவுகளை நிறைவாகச் சொல்லிவிட்டதால் நிற்கிறார் இயக்குநர்.

New Indian Express' Review of Kreedom

http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEE20070727021141&Page=E&Title=St artrek&Topic=%2D47&

Kireedam: Youth vs gangster saga
Friday July 27 2007 12:33 IST

Director : Vijay Cast : Ajith, Trisha, Rajkiran, Vivek, Saranya, Ajay Kumar, Ravi Kale

Afather’s hopes and aspirations about his son’s future and his helplessness and agony as he sees his dreams shattered, forms the core of the plot.

The father is Rajarajan, an upright constable who goes by the rules. And the son is Shakti, who has cleared his tests, and is waiting in the wings for his final selection letter which would get him into the police force. The hurdle is Varadan a dreaded local rowdy. Varadan’s roughing up his father, spurs Shakti to retaliate. An act which changes the whole course of his life.

It’s Ajith’s striking good looks than his performance, that stands out here. The actor who handles his lighter scenes with casual ease, flounders in the crucial, emotional ones, his voice letting him down yet again.

It’s a controlled performance from Rajkiran as the distressed father, with not a step gone wrong. Ravi Kale fits in adequately as the senior cop, sympathetic to Shakti’s plight. Saranya has played the distressed mother so many times, that it’s just one more in her kitty.

A joint venture of Sujatha Cine Arts with Adlabs (Mumbai), the K Balaje banner known for it’s high success rate with remakes, revives it’s production house after a seventeen year gap. And not surprisingly, it’s re-entry is with a remake, which again incidentally happens to be of a film released about seventeen years back.

Kireedam the Malayalam film was a classy entertainer with novelty and depth in the characterisation and situations. Debutante director Vijay has remained almost faithful to the crucial events in the original version. Nevertheless he has brought in a few changes. Like the elaborate love-track. And there are the comic actors for relief too. No doubt Vijay has managed to weave them fairly neatly into the script.

But in the process the plot has lost out on it’s essence, depth and intensity. And the final product has turned out to be yet another routine simple-youth versus gangster-saga, and an average, run-ofthe- mill entertainer.

Problems created on purpose for 'Kireedom' – fans angry!

Ajith’s supporters are angry that there is some goings on to create a negative impression about ‘Kireedom.’

The problem started with putting up banners. Trisha fan club executive Jessy has complained that Ajith fans purposely broke Trisha cut-outs and tore up the banners. But Ajith fans as well as Ajith’s spokesperson have denied this totally as false.

After Ajith was threatened over Bala’s ‘Naan Kadavul,’ Ajith’s fans became very angry. Ajith intervened and stopped them from getting into retaliation. So Ajith’s side argues that when such is the case, his fans would definitely not indulge in tearing up banners and such activities. They also have a complaint.

There are some troublesome elements, who scream as soon as the film begins and spread unsavory comments about ‘Kireedom’ in theatres on Chennai outskirts as well as in places like Madurai and Erode. On many occasions, these troublemakers have been identified by theatre owners and Ajith’s fans and sent out of the theatres.

Ajith’s side thinks it is the work of those who want to hinder Ajith’s success and these very people could be the ones who are clashing with Trisha fans too.

All this is making Ajith fans very angry!

Vijay on Kreedom’s dialogues

Although Kreedom has already been received with wide-open arms with a family movie tag, many felt that some of the dialogues were a little out of the place. If you have not guessed it yet here it is. Vivek’s dialogues sprinkled with spicy teasers – often double meaning ones – raised a few eyebrows and pouted a few lips momentarily.

Not that it did any harm to the movie’s success, however, director Vijay had been questioned on the same and the director has maintained that since it was his first movie he had concentrated only on his area. “I sincerely think I haven’t grown big enough to command Vivek’s department,” he stated. “The comedy track was completely owned by Vivek and everybody enjoyed it as much as they did with the movie”, he further added.

We thought that was a politically correct answer.

Kireedam- Climax changed!
By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 29 July , 2007, 14:09
Ajit’s Kireedam climax has been changed on the request of audiences and fans of the actor. Now the climax has been re-edited, with a positive ending, and will be screened in all theatres across Tamilnadu from Sunday (July 29) evening.

In the new climax, hero Sakthivel (Ajit) after killing the notorious criminal wanted by the police, a voice-over with the Madras High Court in the background says that Sakthi is pardoned. Later he gets a medal from the President of India and the film ends with a shot of Ajit coming in police uniform and saluting his dad.

The audiences of Tamilnadu will not accept a superstar like Ajit as a loser in the end. Remember that Ajit’s Mugavari (2000) climax which also showed him as a loser was changed due to audience’s request. And the Sivaji Ganesan classic Vasantha Maligai(1973) climax which showed him dying was changed to a happy ending three days after the release which later turned out to be a blockbuster.

Says director A.L.Vijay: “Kireedam is doing well at box-office especially in cities like Chennai and Coimbatore. But we are forced to change the climax due to popular request. A press statement will be issued by K.Balaje soon.”

Kireedam is doing rock solid in US...... cheers!
Saga Ajith Rasigargale......

I'm from Bay area and I went for kireedam on first day itself (was house full then!). Last week Kireedam had only 11 weekend shows and 5 weekday shows(1 show everyday @8:00 PM).

Now they have increased the weekday shows to 10 (2 shows everyday @ 8PM and 11PM) making it total of 21 shows everyweek.

Also they have increased the show area to North Carolina and Georgia per high demand.

Regarding the fight between ajith & trisha fans, don' know who was behind this but ajith fans tore up trisha banners at jayanthi theatre.

The photos have appeared in nakkeeran.

Regarding the climax cvhange for kireedom, it may be a happy news for the fans but it is a step backward for the movie.

Mugavar's original climax was better. When they said " 6 years later" * showed jo & ajith dancing together, it did not jell.

From: Nakeeran on 30th July 2007 01:33 PM [Full View]

Watched at the week end.

As a fan of both Mohanlal & Ajit, my expectations were huge & was comparing scene by scene

IMO, Ajit has performed exceedingly well especially those scenes where he had to emote well.

One particular impressive scene is when he pleads his mother>>>> pasikudhumma & immediately the whole family joining together including Rajkiran. Each one trying to give their best. I loved watching the eyes of Ajit here as he was looking very innocent & also at the same time feeling guilty in front of his Dad .

The comedy aspect was not that great .

Father - son equation beautifully narrated with Rajkiran and Ajit giving a very nice portrayal

I would rank this movie as good as Mugavari

My admiration towards Ajit as a quality actor goes up

Another interesting aspect >>>>> Ajit looks amazingly young & handsome !! How he is able to do it ? ( in comparison with movies like REd , Citizen etc ) The dress attire were treat to watch especially those appearing in T-shirts.

Songs are pleasant .

Akkam pakkam yaarum illa >>>>> beautiful song, decently picturised as well . I think this song should top the charts soon

A milestone for AJit . A movie worth preserving as one of the very best of Ajit

This movie should do well in BO so that directors will come with more such realistic themes

Cheers to AJit

Indha 100% ungaloada kandu pidippaa Joe

Can you show me the post which conveys like that? I said most of the ajithfans love the climax. Ofcourse, there many be few fans who might have been disappointed with it. The media is portraying as if it is getting changed only coz of the fans.

Appo MALATHI RANGARAJAN (Hindu reviewer) enna ajith fan ah? She is also one among the general audience who didn't like the -ve ending.

Itha YOSIKKANUM illaya ?? (suya thedal ithukkum porundhum illaya :P )

Fansukku pudikalaiyaam, athanaala maatheetaangalaam.

Bottomline : No matter what AJITH does / his films do, critics / reviewers apply a different yardstick altogether and if we say that we will be projected as if we are the only people who say like that.

In Sivakasi (Thangamani) Kireedom has already collected more than 60% of the POTTI KAASU. (till july 28)
The film will have a solid run of 30+ days in Thangamani theatre and needless to say the theatre owner is happy

(It is getting removed after 30th day mainly coz of the fact that there are only 2 theatres in sivakasi now)

First of all, I would like to add that : In that post, I brought NT's film VAsantha maaligai and how fans took during that time. (Logically) since both are similar now and the yardstick should be same (I didn't degrade NT with that)

We started this conversation from here
It was Wibha who asked us why ajithfans like negative endings (mustbe based on her observation in the hub)

Your follow up on that : I generalised this and posted as if for the movie to become a classic, it should have a negative ending. (This was not what I meant there). I said original was a classic and it might not have become one had they made mohanlal a policeman- Hope I am clear atleast now)

Joe, You have made me to feel as if I am on the other side of the boat.
I never said that ALL MOVIES WITH NEGATIVE ENDINGS ARE CLASS movies. I ruled out a latest movies in the classics' list and that movie had a negative ending

|||ly I know few movies that have a +ve ending as well. CLASS itself is a relative term. I don't want to use it. I said Original was a classic. Wibha asked why ajithfans love negative endings. I said we prefer it for movies like Mugavari and Kireedom and not for masala movies ! Hope I am clear

& I have seen people appreciating a movie as a CLASS movies just coz it has a negative ending

P.S: So, that term WE is based on what WIBHA asked me earlier (based on her own perception on ajithfans and that summarises it

From: joe on 30th July 2007 03:28 PM [Full View]

Selva,
Pls hold on ..I never go into the arguement ,which climax is better or which one you should prefer and I have no opinion.

All I was surprised is ,Previously most of the Ajith fans liked the climax (as reported this this thread) and now the reason given for the climax change didn't reflect it.

That is all. Period.

Kreedom succumbs to fans demand

Movies with tragic ending have always won the hearts of millions, right from 16 Vayathinilae to the recent Paruthiveeran. All these movies brushed realism and the audience loved it. Vazhvae Maayam, with the hot and happening Kamal Hassan in the lead, had a tragic end, still it went on to become a blockbuster.

Paruthiveeran was also doomed to become a flop due to its climax. With the movie now marching towards victory the rest is history.

Kreedom, which was well appreciated by the critics and the masses alike, did not get a positive response from Ajith’s fans. Even though the fans liked their Thala’s acting they were uncomfortable to see the end where their hero loses everything. Bowing down to the fans request, AL.Vijay, the debutant director decided to change the climax of the movie. A substitute climax, which has been shot just in case the original version is not well-received, will be added tomorrow in all the theatres running the show. A realistic movie has succumbed to the cinematic clichés. Should fans be allowed to dictate the terms? Is this a good trend for Tamil cinema? Please comment on it.

not sure how fair it would be to put the blame on the tamil audience who did lap up paruthiveeran (mindless

)and veyyil even with negative endings. both were class films. and non-fans of ajith sure don't feel bad that the hero sung "jeyikkum varai velayadu" and he didnt end up winning in life etc etc... no way.
so it has to be either the climax changed to please ajith fans or the film makers found that the movie aint getting a good run and are just trying different things to get a better run.

not sure who fair it would be to put the blame entire on the fans

They are the same fans who made Vaali a blockbuster, Mugavari ( A hit), Varalaaru a blockbuster

Why should they react now?

& there might be fans who may be interested in a change.

But if that is the case, climax would have been changed within few days after the release and not on the 11th day

Audience too have a share for this :P

I don't get your point. Did Vaali and Varalaaru had negative endings

From: anoops on 30th July 2007 06:33 PM [Full View]

guess mugavari climax was changed for the same reason :P
vaali and varalaaru wasnt a negative ending!! and how much of general audience wud have seen the movie within 11 days of screening

also am not blaming the fans entirely -- as u say a portion (perhaps a major one) didnt like it, but the changing climax is partly a panic movie by film producers/distributors etc.

From: smith1 on 30th July 2007 06:35 PM [Full View]

This is what I referred to ! just read every website news on this, they have just mentioned as ajithfans. I have seen the movie already many times. Does that mean I came out of the theatre before the climax?

My point is : had they changed it within 2 to 3 days, we can blame on the fans ! PERIOD

That is why I blamed the entire tamil movies fans :P Right

I brought VAralaaru & Vaali coz those movies too had negative endings (for the main characters) :P

Mugavari climax was changed after many days :P (Did I ring a bell? :P )

Are you serious or kidding about the endings of Vaali and Varalaaru?. Just because Ajith dies in the climax, how could it be a negative ending?

From: smith1 on 30th July 2007 06:45 PM [Full View]

Maybe it is a conspiracy by trisha fans?

From: c4ramesh on 30th July 2007 06:45 PM [Full View]

Its would be hard to find out the reason, I have seen both Ajith fans & ordinary audience who where unhappy with the climax....

The case with veyil and paruthiveeran is bit differnet from Kireedom, since the leads in those films weren't mass heros... people where able to digest the climax. But when it comes to mass heros people have already made their minds up to see him win, anything contrary will stands on shaky grounds.

Think of a Rajini film where rajini ends up as a looser.... pretty hard to digest.

A similar thing has happened to Kireedom.

Vaali was indeed a negative and unexpected ending. The mute character played by Ajith was the main character and it was kind of an anti hero ( that too only towards Simran) and not a villain role. The first time when I was seeing it I expected a positive ending where he realises his mistakes and turns out to be a 'good boy' towards his brother and sister in law and achieves heights in his career. But it all went the other way around - when he gets killed by his own, lovable brother. And finally when we hear those unspoken words from his grave -it was all sad and poingant.

Kireedam climax changed

Kireedam climax changed

Ajith’s Kireedam has been receiving mixed reviews. The remake of Malayalam hit titled the same, Kireedam features Ajith, Trisha and Raj Kiran in lead roles.

A sad ending to the movie, where Ajith’s fails to realize his father’s dreams of becoming a cop was not received well by Ajith-fans.

As a result, director A L Vijay has opted a change in the climax. Now the climax has been re-edited and it has a positive ending.

Director Vijay says, “The movie is doing well at box-office especially in urban centres. But the climax has been changed due to request from Ajith fans and the audience in general. They want a positive ending”.

Fan followers and audience don't under the "subtlety and sense" of Malayalam Cinema so I guess the fans probably threatened Vijay to change it otherwise, no show.

AJIT fans are die hard , as die hard as rajini fans when he was in prime and sometimes even more die hard! They will do anything for THALA.

So they will expect good acting from thala but certainly not accept as loser in the end!

This is why Mugavari climax was changed!!! Apove apadina just imagine his fan base and their influence now

Kreedam climax changed! - ‘Thala’ fans in joy

Kreedam who showed Ajith as if he is not fulfilling his dream of becoming a police officer and lso has committing a murder and getting imprisonment in the climax. Scenes took place like this in the movie. Many of the Ultimate Star Ajith ‘Thala’ fans did not like this kinda ending. This issue went to the hearing of the movies producer only when the fans were ranting in rave that the director of this movie Vijay has their Thala’s fate had become like this. already taken a different happy ending keeping one thing in mind that , what if the Thala fans does not digest this kind of a climax? The happy ending- In this climax Ajith will not go to jail. They have sent only this happy ending to each and every theatres at present and screening it. Our company has produced many movies with this kind of sad ending. In the past they liked this kinda climax and i wonder why they are not able to digest it at present said and explained the producer of Kreedam, Balaji.

What so ever, they made the heart of Thala fans cool and made there lips to smile too. Yeppadi…!This is also an happy ending isnt it!

Yeppa... smith, unnaku thaan indha answer

Kreedam is doing very very well. Naan US le iruken, so i cannot really comment on fans from India.

Here in US, its doing extra ordinary. Show times and show areas have been increased.

As i said before. Movie house fulla 1 week odunaale, Distributor had recovered his cost. Its alreadu in second week and I heard that all shows are getting full (not in advance booking, but its full at the end of the day!)..... so its already a safe hit.

Depending on how much more family audience us able to pull will decide how bigger a hit it will become.

May be thats why they changed the climax(to pull in more family audience!)

As a fan, i personally liked the original climax(which was more apt!)

So unnoda kelvi ku en badhil - Kreedam is a Hit.

Lets see how big it gets

From: Kreedam on 30th July 2007 08:53 PM [Full View]

yesterday the producer gave an official press meet about climax change.

The producer said kreedam has reaped in total 7 crores profit and 2.1 crores in chennai zone alone

The movie has ended up as a veyr profitable venture for everyone and is liked by everyone, but it seems many fans and audience reportedly commented to the theatre operators that they could have shown ajit as becoming police officer instead they made asad ending.

Hence these fellows decided to change the climax, just like how vasanthamalaigai, thalapathy, mugavari all had

Cool. Recently, I saw Asoka (his debut in Bollywood) and I liked Ajith's role as Sushma (SRK's bro). Then I asked myself, what if he were to make a reentry into Bollywood? That and he is the "king of opening". If Chocolate Boy Maddy can make it big with RDB, why not Ajith? He has potential.

I should start the scripting process but I better get some "assitant directing" experience first. That and acquiring rights from Menon.

It's a thought. Ajith's getting accloades for Kireedom as a police officer, so why not make it happen in Kakka Kakka hindi remake?

Yebba...... evanaavadhu comment pannunume nu nenaichen..... itho odi vandhuteengale nerd.....

OK lemme make something clear here. First of all I'm a HC SS veriyan and I have watched all his movies on first day starting Thalapathy(I get rasigar mandram tickets to watch all thalaivar movies at Udhayam!)..... second, I just like Ajith and Vikram .I'm not fan of either of the two and I donot watch movies for them (just like other Thala veriyans). Infact I have skipped all poor movies of Ajith like Jana, Aalwar,Anjaneya. Also I would say PMS and Thirupathi were very sumaar ragam.

Now coming to the point, I did watch Kreedam and it was good. I rearly see movies which get full here (except Rajni and Kamal movies). I personally felt that the movie was good. This week here in Bay area they have increased the showtimes from 1 show/day to 2 shows/day (on weekdays)...pls look that I'm not fabricating any facts.Goto Indiaglitz to verify or go back to page 12 or 13 where links are provided.

Inga padam nalla illati,1 week le theatre vittu kelambidum (Sivakasi, Maja,Aaru, Aalwar all had same fate!)

Infact the movie is doing good that it has been screened in other areas like North Carolina , LA, Goergia, New Jersey etc and show times have been increased here in bay area. Padam nalla illana, yaarachum summa screen pannuvaangala?

Unga family friend kadha ellam OK, but I'm speaking with facts. Yeppa..... ennakum Inga Chitappa kadha, periyappa kadha ellam sutha theriyum, I'm just trying to post something which I saw and thought I would share. I would definitely not compare this with our thalaivar movie, but when something is good, you gotta accept it.

You be a Rajini fan or a vijay fan, I care a damn. My point was kreedom is not EXTRA-ORDINARY in USA as you have claimed. And about the head-count, that was a grade III joke! Nobody goes to the theater to count heads. You may want to call W Belfort cinemas, houston, TX to confirm if you are *that* suspicious. I know about two regions, Texas and IL. In Texas the run was very average (it hasnt been released in dallas yet) and in chicago it was pathetic as well.

AL Vijay's interview just before release :

After Sivaji, Ajith's Kireedam is the most anticipated film in Tamil from debutant director Vijay.
In this interview, Vijay talks about Kireedam, which is a loose remake of the Malayalam film of the same name, directing Ajith and more.

Excerpts from the Interview:

How did this project come to you?

Even as a child, I was passionate about films because my father was a Tamil film producer. After my graduation, I started working as an assistant to Priyadarshan. For four years I assisted him in films like Lesa Lesa, Hungama, Kilichundan Mambazham and Kakakuyil.

Then I started making commercials (around 65 of them ) though my first love is feature films.

One day, Priyadarshan asked me to watch the Malayalam Kireedam and then write a script in Tamil. For the last one year, I was working on that.

Is it different from the original?

Yes. The first thing Priyadarshan told me was, it (the Malayalam Kireedam) can't be made in Tamil. He wanted me to just take the story idea and then write a script that would suit Tamil sensibilities.

So, what did you take from the original?

We just took the soul of the Malayalam film and re-worked it. So, you can say the soul is the same.

What are the changes you made for the Tamil audience?

Tamil audience needs a little more exaggeration and a little more clarity. Understatements and subtlety work in Malayalam but not in Tamil. We had to also make it commercially viable.

Is that what Suresh Balaji wanted?

No. he was not in the picture then. When Suresh Balaji Sir decided to revive his father?s banner, he started looking for directors. It was then that Priyadarshan asked me to meet him with the script, which he liked.

What made you decide on Ajith as the hero?

Because he is a fine actor. We are fortunate that we got Ajith in the leading role. I will say he is the best part of my film. He has given a tremendous performance.

Ajith is a director's artist; you can mould him in whatever way you want. He gave me total freedom and made me very comfortable. He never acted like a big star on the sets. There was no interference at all from his side.

But it is mentioned in the papers that he does interfere with the script.

No, he doesn't. He was a thorough gentleman throughout. His performance in the climax is mind-blowing. He has stolen the show single-handedly.

Did he surprise you with his performance?

Yes, in the climax scene. I was mesmerised by his performance that I forgot to say cut! It took us some time to come out of that mood.

The relationship between the father and son was the highlight of the original. What about your film?

I wrote the script without losing the soul of the story, and that is the relationship between the father and the son. Nowhere will you see Ajith the star; you will see only Ajith the actor.

Yes, we do have some songs and some action for his fans because we didn't want to disappoint them.

How important is Trisha's role in the film?

We have both emotion and humour in the film. If emotional moments are between Ajith and Raj Kiran, the humour part is taken care of by Trisha. And she has done a great job.

Did you show the film to your guru Priyadarshan? What did he say?

Yes, after the preview, he patted my shoulder and said, good job! He said it would be a big hit.

What was Ajith's response to the film?

He came out of the theatre and hugged me. He said this will be one of the landmark films in my career. The next day he called me and said, "I know I have acted in the film but I still cannot get over it."

Have you started thinking about your next project?

There are chances of Ajith and myself joining hands again.

This being your first film, are you nervous now that the release date is so near?

I am not nervous at all. I am very happy with the product. All those who have seen the film are satisfied. It is after 17 years that Sujatha Cine Arts is making a Tamil film. They have given the maximum number of hits in Tamil. Ajith fans have been asking me to deliver a hit.

It is like waiting for the exam result. Hope I get good marks.

Chennai Box office-July 27 to 29

Tuesday, 31 July , 2007, 15:47

Rajnikant's Sivaji, still remains the number one show in Chennai city, due to its 80 to 90 percent collections during the weekend in a dozen screens. Ajit's Kireedam has taken a marginal fall, but hangs on by the skin in the second position, with a net of Rs 18.76 from five screens. At the third position is Bruce Willis's action movie Die Hard 4.0, which took a good opening in seven screens. Chiranjeevi's Shankardada Zindabad took an impressive opening, from three Chennai screens, is in the fourth position. In the fifth place is Sundar.C's Veerappu, which took a 90 percent opening from five small screens.

Film Cast Pluses Minuses Trade fact

Sivaji Rajnikanth, Shreya, Vivek, Manivannan, Raghuvaran Rajnikanth, Shankar's packaging Nothing new storywise, a bit lengthy Blockbuster

Kireedam Ajit, Raj Kiran, Trisha, Saranya, Vivek, Ajay Realism, Ajit, Trisha Low production values, lack of commercial elements Hit

Shankardada Zindabad Chiranjeevi, Srikanth, Karishma Kotak, Sayaji Shinde Chiranjeevi
Lacks nativity, half hearted attempt to remake a classic Average

Die Hard 4.0 Bruce Willis, Timothy Olyphant, Justin Long, Maggie Q Superb action scenes Monotonous at times Hit

Veerappu Sundar C, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Gopika Racy narration, Sundar C’s looks Sundar C’s acting, Songs

I have some Mallu friends who thought that Kireedom was the best he's seen and it lived up the original 1989 version.

He asked me why they changed the climax. He said that it'll hamper the pacing of the movie and why the sudden happy ending. He wasn't happy when I told him that the Ajith fans demanded a happy ending than a sad one.

Kreedam Climax Changed

Kreedam the latest super hit film from sujatha cine arts and ad labs starring Ajit won rave reviews from all quarters for its heady realism and excellent acting by Ajit in climax. But Ajit being an Ultimate Star with huge fan following in and outside Tamil Nadu, his hardcore fans wanted a positive ending to the story and did want to see our THALA as a loser like we did in Mugavari. Mugavari too fans requested for climax change and it went on to become a super hit. In kreedam the new climax will be available on all 185 prints and will end on a positive note as if Rajikiran’s dream comes true about Ajit. The producer’s PRO [producer is not available here he is touted to be in Malaysia] revealed that the movie has reaped very good profits and said Ajit is really the KING OF OPENING. In sathyam complex alone the movie has made a distributor share of 2.1 crores and the total profit in tamil nadu is estimated to be 6.5-7 crores till now in the first week mega opening. The movie is already a super hit as per collections but to satisfy fans climax has been changed to keep up the longevity of the film in screens! Ajit: The performer; Thala: The King of Masses; Ultimate Star: The King of Opening

My assumption is that : It would be b/w 8 to 10 crores. Ajith's salary this time should be around 2 crores and the producers have sold the film to a decent price without being greedy so that it will be profitable for both distributors and the theatre owners !

Trisha ====> 40 Lakh
Rajkiran - 25 Lakh
MD == > 40 Lakh (Taking from u)
Thiru == > 20 Lakh
Director ==> 50 Lakh

Let us wait for official information (The website team could have posted the video of the press meet given by Balaji) :P
Anyway, Appreciate their work

btw, I am happy that Thala movie with a -ve ending has become a HIT ! :P
I hope he will continue to do movies like this without bending for the request from fans from here onwards. (only solution : He should produce the movies or should produce movies with minimum budget)

My deep wish inside my heart is :

Thala should do a film under VASANTHABALAN's direction

But chances are very less

Everyone involved with the movie is in an upbeat mood naturally and Nag Ravi who has procured the distribution rights for Chennai areas told our behindwoods correspondent that the film has collected close to a crore in Chennai city itself which is definitely an encouraging sign.

Kreedom
Nag Ravi has also bought the distribution rights for audio tracks of films called Sivi and Mudhal Mudhalai and has plans to sell them at Rs 19/- per CD. When spurious CDs are being sold at Rs 20/- this move of Nag Ravi, has surprised many in the industry

I think the producer of 12B (forget his name) also tried selling the audio CDs himself at a throwaway price.

Agree with you, may be I put those words in impulse.... but the movie is definitely doing brisk business in US.

So its safe to assume that the movie is going well with A class audience in Chennai, coimbatore and Madurai

. Am I correct guys?

Let us not venture into these things. It is from our own fans' site and I am sure others will take it with a pinch of salt and WE NEED NOT WORRY !

Let us wait for official information (The website team could have posted the video of the press meet given by Balaji) :P
Anyway, Appreciate their work

btw, I am happy that Thala movie with a -ve ending has become a HIT ! :P
I hope he will continue to do movies like this without bending for the request from fans from here onwards. (only solution : He should produce the movies or should produce movies with minimum budget)

My deep wish inside my heart is :

Thala should do a film under VASANTHABALAN's direction

But chances are very less

That is 2.1 in chennai alone I think, that is what kreedam said elsewhere.

As a fan of both Mohanlal & Ajit, my expectations were huge & was comparing scene by scene

IMO, Ajit has performed exceedingly well especially those scenes where he had to emote well.

One particular impressive scene is when he pleads his mother>>>> pasikudhumma & immediately the whole family joining together including Rajkiran. Each one trying to give their best. I loved watching the eyes of Ajit here as he was looking very innocent & also at the same time feeling guilty in front of his Dad .

The comedy aspect was not that great .

Father - son equation beautifully narrated with Rajkiran and Ajit giving a very nice portrayal

I would rank this movie as good as Mugavari

My admiration towards Ajit as a quality actor goes up

Another interesting aspect >>>>> Ajit looks amazingly young & handsome !! How he is able to do it ? ( in comparison with movies like REd , Citizen etc ) The dress attire were treat to watch especially those appearing in T-shirts.

Songs are pleasant .

Akkam pakkam yaarum illa >>>>> beautiful song, decently picturised as well . I think this song should top the charts soon

A milestone for AJit . A movie worth preserving as one of the very best of Ajit

This movie should do well in BO so that directors will come with more such realistic themes

Cheers to AJit

Thanks a lot Nakeeran ! Infact, I was a lot more skeptical on what you will feel since re-creating a malayalam classic is very tough here !
I rate this more than Mugavari and agree with every bit of your post !

But they have changed the climax

My assumption is that : It would be b/w 8 to 10 crores. Ajith's salary this time should be around 2 crores and the producers have sold the film to a decent price without being greedy so that it will be profitable for both distributors and the theatre owners !

I was thinking that Ajith's salary to be around 3.5C to 4C. Is it true that Ajith's salary is around 2C. Though Kireedom being a Low Production is a big advantage for the Producers, Distributors and Theatre Owners, I am surprised to see that Sify has put a big minus for the Low Production value of Kireedam movie. If the production value is high, then they put it as high, if it is low, they put it as low. what do these people want.

Kireedam is a well made movie appreciated by not only the masses but by the class and the neutral people. Kireedam caters to all types of audience.

I saw it only 1 time. I wanted to go last saturday but as it was raining the whole week, I dropped the plan. But I will be going along with my family in Chennai to see the movie at Sathyam/Inox in the 3rd week of August.

I went along with my wife (a neutral) for Kireedom movie, she was very appreciative of the movie but was very sad with the ending. Most of the neutrals seems to prefer a happy ending. My wife was asking why such a tragic end when the movie is very feel good and lots of family people come. She was saying atleast they could have shown Trisha marrying Ajith.

During the family sequences in the movie, she cried a lot and during the climax, need not ask, she cried and was lamenting why couldn't the film end on a positive note.

The main point here is why I have asked NOV, Joe, Thiru and Groucho to post their reviews is they are appreciative/fans of Sivaji and Kamal's acting. So thought it would be better for them to review a movie like Kireedom with Ajith's and Rajkiran's performance.

Yup! Saw SIFY report & esp behindwoods. But my own observation is : film is a HIT and we need to wati for few more weeks to confirm whether it can surpass the HIT status

btw, comparison is odd since kireedom is in the 3rd week while sivaji is in its 7th week (Right?)

btw, How many times have u seen the movie till now?

Thiru has already seen it and have posted his comments. He was very appreciative about the movie

Mathavanga pathi theriyAthu but it doesn't make any difference I guess

Anyway, I am sure Groucho will have something interesting to say

Yeah. Leo I had already posted my opinion.

In short
1. I liked the movie very much. In the past few years this is the only jith movie i liked the most.
2. As a movie this will come in One among Top 5 movies of Ajith in terms of Quality.
3. Definitely watchable once for anyone in my opinion.
4. Overall, In terms of Box Office Collections it should be some where between Hit and Superhit.
5. Music was good when i saw in movie though i could not remember any songs. Now i after 3 viewing in channel "Vizhiyil vanthu Vizhunthen" Song is superb

Yet to come across other songs again

6. Though i liked the original Climax, i thought the last 30 minutes could have been handled in different manner and with a +ve Climax at the same time realistic (not the way like the one they added now

).

The beginning of the movie where it shows:

In Kireedam it was different.
In Aalwar it was different though.
b4 that, a few movies had different style where a shaded earth will b displayed behind Thala's name.
I think Thala should stick to one particular intro.

Interview by Director Vijay:

The day of the release of ‘Kireedam’ had young director Vijay on tenterhooks. Understandable, because it was a dream debut for the director — a huge banner had reposed confidence in him and given him a mega project on a platter. And it is to his credit that Vijay has lived up to it.

Balancing romance, action, sentiment and comedy he assures you it’s a decent fare for the family audience and Ajit fans. “We’ve not thrust songs or fights into it at any point. They happen only when necessary. We didn’t go abroad for the duets and you’ll not find the predictable item number. Decent and natural within the commercial format, we are sure ‘Kireedam’ will go on to become a major hit.”

‘Kireedam’ is an experimental film, where realism and authenticity have been given primary importance. “I’ll give you an example. No man can hit a hulk of a villain with bare hands. You’ll always see Ajit using something he can lay hands on, to attack the enemy,” says Vijay.

Trained in Priyadarshan’s school the young man is always on the look out for spontaneity and naturalness in cinema. “True. The four years under him were a tremendous learning experience,” says Vijay. It was Priyadarshan who recommended Vijay to producer Suresh Balaje for ‘Kireedam.’ “Priyan has been supportive throughout,” smiles Vijay, who also has around 65 commercials to his credit.

“It was an excellent chance for me to work with Ajit. He makes decisions quickly and sticks to them. Only once did he listen to the narration,” Vijay goes on. Ajit told Vijay that he could do what the script demands and not change things for his sake. Yet how much is a director’s contribution in a remake? “As far as ‘Kireedam’ goes we’ve taken only the last 15 minutes of the Malayalam original. I worked on the screenplay for a year and a half. So you can imagine how much effort has gone into it.”

Did not the hero, crew or the producer even think that a negative end to such a positive and upright hero could tilt the scales against it? All said and done it’s the hero who is supreme to the man on the street. He wouldn’t want to see him lose. And playing up to his psyche could provide a straight ticket to success. “We know it, but we wanted to see how the audience takes to a realistic end. And all the Chennai theatres, be it Kasi or Sathyam, which I visited on the first few days, I saw the standing ovation from the audience when the hero, a victim of circumstances, breaks down. It was gratifying,” avers Vijay. “And films which end on a sad note, ‘Paruthi Veeran,’ for instance, were accepted.” But the point here is such films may not showcase a mass hero. No avid fan today likes to watch an upright man suffer till the end without respite.

Ajit’s reaction

“I was standing a little further away from Ajit when he came out after watching the movie. He walked up to me and with a hug said, ‘If I have to list my five best films ‘Kireedam’ will definitely find a place in it.’ It was an unforgettable moment for me,” Vijay recalls fondly.

Now to the most topical question of them all … Why then has the end been changed to a happy one since the past few days? “That’s purely because of the feedback from the media and request from distributors. Either way I’m confident that ‘Kireedam’ will go on to become one of Ajit’s major hits,” says a confident Vijay. It’s a feel-good mood that the Tamil film buff would like to carry home, and now ‘Kireedam’ is giving him just that.

Een pa ithu mathiri ellam namma Thalaikku mattum nadakuthu???

Een

have been hearing this quite a lot from Selva and also other Ajith fans -- if any media writes bad abt ajith films, its immediately told that since ajith doesn't give out interviews they give him a cold shoulder - if they praise its forgotten again. if some opp actor fans do something then again the usual lament of so & so is trying to defame ajith and his movies etc. what i cant understand is, for an actor with such a huge fan base - is it possible for some X no of people to defame a movie?! in that case, none of ajith's movies ought to be a hit - every time someone else can spread bad news abt his movies aint it?! if a movie is entertaining, what ever one spreads abt it, its bound to be a hit (with very rare exceptions).

in any film industry(any industry for tht matter) a degree of defaming and rumour spreading happens. and its a known FACT that it happens for EVERY actor. so whts special abt tht being done to Ajith?!

From: selvakumar on 3rd August 2007 08:36 AM [Full View]

Anyway, anoops let me explain it :

"That post of mine was not on media ! I was referring to few people who made fun of the movie at the theatres in an effort to bring it town (we heard it was around 450). It is something done intentionally. A movie like Kireedom and that too with a MASS HERO who has few to bash him all the time will have great chance of getting this.

every time someone else can spread bad news abt his movies aint it?! if a movie is entertaining, what ever one spreads abt it, its bound to be a hit (with very rare exceptions)

Not really. It is something to do with the theatre crowd. I agree that everyone receive cat calls in the theatres. No one is an exception. But even good movies can be pulled down ! Primary success ofa movie are : family audience. As I said in mypost, INSPITE OF ALL THESE THINGS, I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THE MOVIE BECOMING A HIT !

Right

You are GENERALISING as if we bash everyone.
Reg the comments from media, I wont accept that every media is neutral

especially the one that gives MARKS for th emovies and they are equally FUNNY as well ! :P

From: anoops on 3rd August 2007 08:48 AM [Full View]

yes selva, ur rite - most media have their own preferences. my point is that most times i see that its being made big since if its on Ajith since he is away from the media and that is taken as a reason for that. though its got nothing to do with the actor (in this case Ajith) per se and its the reviewer/journalist whose personal opinions mostly

as for group of people etc, 450 in the whole of tamil nadu

i guess ajith fans are atleast 1000 times more than that.
i agree that its BAD and CHEAP acts from any actor to do such things, but to say that it happens only to ajith or mostly to ajith is not correct. and i dont think its possible to pull down a movie by the same mass hero (with such huge audience) with cat calls and booing. word of mouth is defnly a HUGEE factor, but i dont think i (nor anyone) would listen/judge a movie heard from someone who hates that particular star.

anoops,

Bad mouth panrathukku ne oru gang alaya vidradhu ellam konjam over nu nenaikaren. I know thats its highly not possible to bring down a good movie just by few bad mouthing gangs, but it does hurt when a good word of mouth from family audiences get affected because of such incidents(padam paakum podhu comment pannikitte irundha, you will start disliking the movie I guess, atleast I would!). I hope you will agree

From: anoops on 3rd August 2007 09:03 AM [Full View]

freedom, in the mallu film industry (which reportedly is mostly based on word of mouth - word has it that if majority audience coming after a film looks dejected, people in the queue go home) there are always a group of people who are setup by rival actors for cat calls and booing in the theatres. even the false propoganda is done by SMS forwards. if this is the case in a smaller film industry where the returns/income is FAR FAR less than Tamil, i am not surprised by the gangs being employed.

and as for comments continously in the theatre - i guess the complaint from the family audience would be that "nalla padam paathutirundhom, oru loose gumbal kathikitte irundhudhu" rather than "padame enakku pudikkala because of a set of people" - i defnly agree that the family who saw the movie lost the movie's charm - but movie itself losing its charm?!

From: selvakumar on 3rd August 2007 09:03 AM [Full View]

anoops,
You didn't get the point. "I made fun of that gang after seeing the HIT status under Kireedom" (not just with sify & behindwoods. I don't care about them and I have my own sources to verify them. I rely on the collections in the theatre and the potti kaasu and decide on the status of a movie)

It was like "ippo enna pannuvaanunga" Hope u understand this. PERIOD

I don't care about what other actor fans feel about the media hypocrisy. But we CARE since we FEEL that he is on the receiving side of these things.

From: anoops on 3rd August 2007 09:11 AM [Full View]

well upto u to say "ippo enna pannuvanunga" when u feel the movie is a hit and to say "it happens ONLY to Ajith" all the time when the movie doesn't do good.
ok end of dig, dont think as Ajith FAN you are going to accept any argument

From: Freedom on 3rd August 2007 09:20 AM [Full View]

forget it guys... Selva anne, evan enna gang vechalum hit movie, hit thaan aagum. Innum 2 or 3 weeks family audience vandha I think everything would fall in place and the movie would atleast be super hit (from my best guess!). But as is I think the movie is going steadily well.

Movie nalla illa na, or else if it was dropping down ... many theatres would have shifted it.. o nothing to worry. All it shows is that the movie is doing well among neutral audience.

From: rockydeva on 3rd August 2007 09:26 AM [Full View]

guys yesterdays i enquired about the Box office of KIREEDAM in kanchi district and vellore

Kanichipuram... :- ARUNA (DTS) released the movie.. and running with 80% accupancy.. Aruna is the BEST theatres in kanchi ( Namma chennai sathyam pola

) , sources say that they already counting the profit...so its a hit in kanchipuram (Family audiance

)

Vellore:- In vellore the movie running with 65% accupancy.. they have collected very close to the amount wt they invested.. so further run will give them profit

Well. It is way of EXPRESSING OUR JOY since the movie is a HIT. Remember : A movie or an effort like this must be appreciated not just by mere words for the sake but at the BO too !

A movie like this (-ve ending then) can break at the BO at anytime with this kind of calls and that is what I wanted to say. News is : Many are doing it purposefully and it need not be fans of any particular actor alone.

Regarding ur second line, DONT THINK as a person who is not an AJITHFAN you can spill anything here out of context

I was not worried at all at BO. But when I heard that a gang is doing it purposefully I seriously wanted this to become a HIT (not jsut an average). I am glad that it has become. Plus - It has become a hit much before the climax change and I am really happy with it.

I agree with your post completely. But the movies that few of our audience feel as if it has nothign great will have its presence at the family audience and they are THE REAL BOSS in deciding the BO status ofa movie.
My grouse was on the hang !

i agree that its BAD and CHEAP acts from any actor to do such things, but to say that it happens only to ajith or mostly to ajith is not correct.

Wat do mean by not correct??? Well so far, I haven't heard any other leading heroes got these kind of problems where some idiots from opponents spreading bad things.

Again, IMO you are wrong bro... Why it's impossible??? You f stated that you won't listen to such morons but many people are not like you. And logically, when those morons bad mouthing the movie, they won't show that they are from which party or that they dislike Ajith. They will just act normally as neutral fan to spread rumours in order to attract people to listen to them.
OTOH, there are thousands of people who wants to know what others think about the movie even b4 they want 2 buy tickets....

anoops,

U have hit the nail on the head. Since ajith films have not been doing well in the last few eyars (but for a varalaru or a attghasam), ajith fans have developed a tendency to think that rival actors' gangs sabotage their films, media is against ajith etc.,

I simply cannot understand how rival gangs can sabotage a film by spreading false news, hoots etc., For the people watching in the theatre, if the film is good, then they will choose to ignore it.

Also, for films like anjaneya, ji, raja,jana, red, citizen,alwar etc., - U do not need rival gangs at all - the films themselves will make U run out.

Also, the media (by & large) have not been anti ajith. Before varalaru many mags wished that the film becomes a hit & even a normally prudent mag like kalki praised the film.

U must remember that kalki blasted the film avvai shanmughi (while others went ga ga over it) which elicited angry responses from the censor board.

Yes thats very true...irrespective of any sabotage watchable and entertaining films will reap profits and bad films collapse in the box office apart from a very few exceptions.

Nothing cud stop the rage of Varalaaru....it was a run away winner......and at the same time nothing cud have saved Alwar.....so bad/good mouthing causes negligible effect for a movies result

Ur point is right......but u cannot include citizen and red here.

Citizen was the next one after Dheena which fetched him huge mass followings and the name THALA. Citizen had a monstrous opening and even thou the film failed to live upto the expectations it was good and not like anjaneya, jana, alwar or raja

Red also took a fantastic opening.
Eventhou it caused a huge loss of female fan base it caused the floodgates to open downsouth....red brot a lot of C class fans specially from down south.

First of all, let me clarify : No one can stop a film like Aalwar becoming a flop (I liked it though). No one can stop a film like Varalaaru becoming a blockbuster. Point here is : We bash media when it applies a different yardstick for Varalaaru & Kireedom compared to other movies. Why are you quoting Kalki alone ? I have also read kalki and i agree that they are far better than craps like AV. If I blame media, then it won't be far pulling down not-so-good movies of Ajith. But for pulling down or for not appreciating the good movies of ajith. Take AV for an example. It has given many marks to crappies whereas for movies like Varalaaru & Kireedom - rating was pretty less. That is why we (ajithfans) bash media junkies like AV & SIFY etc !

Yourself & anoop have an interpretation as if we are bashing media without nay point and we use them as ESCAPE tools for movies like Aalwaar which is not true.

The media is against THALA for one simple reason....BUSINESS

THALA is not helping their business...so they r not helping THALA's business....what they do is overstate the negatives and overlook the positives

We cannot blame the media for that....THALA has chosen this life and he has to live with it.

Media is there to make money...not for charity

Blaming the media for different yardsticks is bullshit

Instead of bashing sify or AV just pay them some money and they will pour accolades on the movie (Ex. Sify was paid to write nice things abt Kreedam and they started doing that even before its release)

ITS STRICTLY BUSINESS

From: anoops on 3rd August 2007 02:38 PM [Full View]

selva, my interpretation or words have not been only abt the media - i donno abt smith - am voicing my own opinion :P
thrisha fans fight with ajith fans - so & so actor has sent them.
some people are bad mouthing the movie - so & so actor sent them.
media writes badly about ajith movie - media is always against ajith.

infact most media i guess praised ajith for his effort in kreedom and still the movie producers had to change the climax to get a better run. so as u say its all about the movie's quality or that 'X' factor which makes it a hit amongst the audience and not any amount of bad mouthing.
it might well be true that bad mouthing using x no of people in a theatre would work perhaps against smaller actors, but for an actor with mass fan following, its funny when you guys complain that so & so happening ONLY to Ajith.

again, my point all along has been that all this had/has/will continue to happen in film industry coz its all about survival and money. But to bring it as a sympathy point that its happening only for him is a bit over-stretched. well you would say that u CARE more abt ur STAR - so me

Any FAN is someone who CARES for the ACTOR - thts why he is fan aint it :P

From: smith1 on 3rd August 2007 03:03 PM [Full View]

selva,
If I have quoted kalki, U have quoted only AV. But what abt other mags? I don't think they have been against ajith per se.

I also do not agree with coreleone that ajith is not helping their business. Though he keeps away from them, news abt him keep featuring on a regular basis.

Regarding TV, but for Sun Tv which is against ajith, the other channels have been featuring ajith films (Ji wase shown on jaya TV).

Attagasam was also shown in Jaya TV, I think -not sure.

SS music features many progs on ajith periodically.

Who claimed charity from the media?? Selva and other fans did not ask for media's "charity". They only asked for fairness and ethics, which the media is obliged to have. "Make money"-ngara excuse la enna venaalum pannalaam-ngaradhu is the biggest BS. You are forgetting that nobody here claims that the media should NOT make money. Let them make money, but not by throwing away fairness and ethics out the window. Fair-a, ethics-oda panam panna mudiyadhu nu edhavadhu sattam irukka? It is that section of the media that Selva and others are criticizing.
The onus is on that section of the media to clean up their act, not on Ajith to suck up to them. enna pa reasoning idhu? Why should he run behind them? And your line of reasoning (Ajith being aloof to the media) will not hold good if you take others into consideration.
Even when the media is not overtly *against* Ajith, relatively, they are more biased towards certain other actors. There is no empirical evidence to show that brand name Ajith doesn't sell in the media.
Even after the success of varalaaru, some sections of the media exhibited selective amnesia when it came to Ajith vis a vis other(s).
Yes, Ajith is not the only actor to face this relative discrimination and it's not that the whole media fraternity is up in arms against him, but at the same time, justifying *everything* the media does in the name of "business" is too simplistic IMO.

Policemen are not here to do charity, they are also out to make money like everybody else.
The only difference is in case of the cop, it is illegal, in case of media, it is cheap and unethical journalism (actually, they can be sued for libel when they cross a threshold, so they can't do just *anything* in the name of business). Terms vena vera, aana prachanai onnu dhaan

Fair business is a very subjective term. By your yardstick I can even blame the Kreedam crew for *unfair* business since they *PAID* sify to promote the film.
They didn pay sify for promoting varalaaru or aalwar.....so sify ditched them...its simple

But for Kreedam (an Ajith movie) sify is PAID to promote it and say a lot good things....what do u say for this ?????
U mean Ajith is doing unfair business ???
U mean kreedam crew is doing unfair business ???

Y shud they pay and encourage such unfair business ???

By the way, why is ajith keeping himself away from the media?

b) fanatism - i mean, u cant expect a good review of IR song from me

.......vijay fan-a irundha kandippa Ajith paduthhukku nalla reviwe kudukka maattanga.........but the thing is, they will give one or two good artciles abt ajith and get a impression that they are neutral and then strike when u expect the most........

there cannot be any second opinion on how bad the media is in india nowadays -

if only they used 10% of their effort in following popular stars in highlighting the corruption in our nation, India would well be on their way to the top

but guess my point has been diluted now - my reply was to one Ajith fan's complaint that it happens ONLY with Ajith all the time :P

IMO, to expect media to be fair and ethical is well, something like expecting shankar movies to be a reality

U mean Ajith is doing unfair business ???
U mean kreedam crew is doing unfair business ???

Y shud they pay and encourage such unfair business ???

First of ALL, it was not AJITH who paid for SIFY. It was kireedom crew that paid SIFY to promote kireedom as a online partner. SIFY is the only site in the world that bashes those movies for which it wasn't an official partner (Again, it applies this only to a selected set of actors and not th eones who regularly give interviews to sify. In a way, SIFY is S--T ! )
Just compare the same behavior with other sites like Indiaglitz, galatta. Even if they are not official partners of a movie, they will support it (mostly) and they won't bash the movies if SIFY is the media partner.
So, SIFY sucks in this case.
Ultimately, it is upto TF industry to abandon SIFY like suntv and should concentrate on better things.
sites like SIFY have great skill to kill the industry

We blame SIFY for its bias and unfair reportings (something that other sites rarely does)

We can only BLAME those who support this behaviour as MERE BUSINESS (and that too for a media) as those who SUCK UP to their wimpty things !

From: smith1 on 3rd August 2007 05:46 PM [Full View]

selva,

I think the point is not whether ajith paid or the makers of kireedom paid.

Just bcos ajith has not paid does not absolve him of the blame.

as corleone rightly said, why shud ajith get associated with it then?

First of all aligning with an online partner is itself unethical. Bcos in no way will the online partner give impartial news.

And sify is not such an influential site that people will read it & reject/acccept a film.

U are reading too much into it.

1) You were blaming THALA alone compared to the crew. I added the CREW as well in my post. For e.g, sify wasn't the partner for Varalaaru which had not just 1 Thala but 3 Thala's
2) Thala met K.moron and I heard that he didn't bend to their claims. But resolved it amicably. he wasn't interested first. But when he received the bias of suntv from fans, he went and spoke with them on this. (case was different with suntv -- They were avoiding thala related things and fan calls for no reasons)
3) Yes, I blame the CREW including THALA for having chosen sify. sify doesn't sell tickets like Indiaglitz and galatta. It is one of the worst official partners in the world

Its a well known fact that the entertainment media these days are working only to promote films of their choice and business.

Hope u remember that sify came up with a positive review even before the release of the movie just to promote it....thats media for u....u like it or hate it......its business for them and THALA is also a part of that business.

I was not talking about this "official media partner" thing at all.
In *this* official partner thing, everyone is on even ground - production houses pay these sites and they write rave reviews about a film. I agree with you that Ajith is on par with everyone else in this case.
Atleast you are informed that they are the "official partners" and you know what to expect from them. Is it ethical? Perhaps not, but was Ajith directly involved in it or could he have influenced it? - We don't know.
Leave all that aside, as long as they are just passing opinion (in the form of reviews etc), its fine because we know what to expect and we can ignore such reports if they are biased. Its part of their promotion.
However, being "official partners", if they skew box office reports, say inaccurate things like "next only to actor X" etc, it is unethical alright.

The irony is some sites do the same even without being official partners

(positive for some stars, negative/indifferent towards some)

What i was referring to is that section of media (whether they are official partners or otherwise), who are relatively biased FOR certain actors, and biased AGAINST certain actors. When i say negatively biased, it need not necessarily be outright attacks - often, the discrimination is subtle, with backhanded compliments etc...
This maybe due to vested interests, an axe to grind, or just plain bad reporting when the media house or outlet in question don't do any research and don't get their facts right and echo popular myths. Whatever be the reason, in this case, its not just opinion they are passing but giving false figures and data, which is not mere opinion but false data. In short, LIES.

You know how badly people around me ridicule Ajith just by reading false news from f**ked up site like sify?

Guys online sites have so muych influence nowadays in pulling crowd thowards theatres

I dunno why Ajith stays aloof from media so much .... but looks like he can gain much by gelling with them. Aana appadi panradhu sariya , thappa ellam nu ennala solla mudiyaadhu.

I've been scrolling through the recent discussions on the media and their impact on AJ movies, etc!

I honestly dont think the media can do ANYTHING to stop a movie's success IF the movie is good!

But they sure can hype up a movie to a certain extent, but if the movie's bad, then nothing can be done no matter what!

And I could give examples for both scenarios, but prefer not to, at this point!

Abt the media pulling down AJ and all that, just SHAKE IT OFF... I dont think AJ will be tooo bothered abt those nutcases, and his fans should not be either!

At the end of the day, a good movie will win, and a good actor will win! And if that actor does well, he'll have growing fans and popularity, and that's always an added advantage!

Just CHEER UP! Especially Selva... :P

Chenkol was proably the best sequel in Malayalam cinema since Mannar Mathai Speaking.

If Director Vijay and Ajith were to ever come for a sequel....Chekol remake would be it..

From: ArulprakasH on 5th August 2007 12:01 AM [Full View]

change for the better? MALATHI RANGARAJAN

‘Kireedam’s climax has been reworked on — the hero is no more a hapless man.

The day of the release of ‘Kireedam’ had young director Vijay on tenterhooks. Understandable, because it was a dream debut for the director — a huge banner had reposed confidence in him and given him a mega project on a platter. And it is to his credit that Vijay has lived up to it.

Balancing romance, action, sentiment and comedy he assures you it’s a decent fare for the family audience and Ajit fans. “We’ve not thrust songs or fights into it at any point. They happen only when necessary. We didn’t go abroad for the duets and you’ll not find the predictable item number. Decent and natural within the commercial format, we are sure ‘Kireedam’ will go on to become a major hit.”

‘Kireedam’ is an experimental film, where realism and authenticity have been given primary importance. “I’ll give you an example. No man can hit a hulk of a villain with bare hands. You’ll always see Ajit using something he can lay hands on, to attack the enemy,” says Vijay.

Trained in Priyadarshan’s school the young man is always on the look out for spontaneity and naturalness in cinema. “True. The four years under him were a tremendous learning experience,” says Vijay. It was Priyadarshan who recommended Vijay to producer Suresh Balaje for ‘Kireedam.’ “Priyan has been supportive throughout,” smiles Vijay, who also has around 65 commercials to his credit.

“It was an excellent chance for me to work with Ajit. He makes decisions quickly and sticks to them. Only once did he listen to the narration,” Vijay goes on. Ajit told Vijay that he could do what the script demands and not change things for his sake. Yet how much is a director’s contribution in a remake? “As far as ‘Kireedam’ goes we’ve taken only the last 15 minutes of the Malayalam original. I worked on the screenplay for a year and a half. So you can imagine how much effort has gone into it.”

Ajit and Trisha in ‘Kireedam.’

Did not the hero, crew or the producer even think that a negative end to such a positive and upright hero could tilt the scales against it? All said and done it’s the hero who is supreme to the man on the street. He wouldn’t want to see him lose. And playing up to his psyche could provide a straight ticket to success. “We know it, but we wanted to see how the audience takes to a realistic end. And all the Chennai theatres, be it Kasi or Sathyam, which I visited on the first few days, I saw the standing ovation from the audience when the hero, a victim of circumstances, breaks down. It was gratifying,” avers Vijay. “And films which end on a sad note, ‘Paruthi Veeran,’ for instance, were accepted.” But the point here is such films may not showcase a mass hero. No avid fan today likes to watch an upright man suffer till the end without respite.
Ajit’s reaction

“I was standing a little further away from Ajit when he came out after watching the movie. He walked up to me and with a hug said, ‘If I have to list my five best films ‘Kireedam’ will definitely find a place in it.’ It was an unforgettable moment for me,” Vijay recalls fondly.

Now to the most topical question of them all … Why then has the end been changed to a happy one since the past few days? “That’s purely because of the feedback from the media and request from distributors. Either way I’m confident that ‘Kireedam’ will go on to become one of Ajit’s major hits,” says a confident Vijay. It’s a feel-good mood that the Tamil film buff would like to carry home, and now ‘Kireedam’ is giving him just that.

I watched Kireedam the second day of its release. Ajith looked dashing young enuf to remember his 'Aasai' days! RajKiran still had that side effects of Thavamayai .. The rest of the cast sucked big time. Especially the comedy sequences were the mokkaiest I have ever seen in recent times. Overall it is watchable for Ajith and if they had been more serious abt the plot, the movie wud be more refined and good.

Music is good, cinematography is 2gud, the director's crappy work is disguised well by thiru's camera and Ajith is the only saving grace!

It could have been a much better classic, had it been dealt by an experienced director. Inspite of the wonderful online it had, the scenes didn't touch your heart, like it did while watching a 'VEYYIL'.

AJIT's looks were damn good. He played the role to perfection.
The comedy scenes looked so disjointed like did the love sequences.

Both the duets were good numbers from GVP...

I aint see PART TWOS being part of Thamizh Industry ..... we rarely have made part twos ..... n i feel .... that normally happens for living with characters .....

This gives me a question .... was there any LEGENDARY or HEROIC character ... which was taken forward for movie making like James Bond or SUperman or Spider man ???????????? I dont remember any .....

This needs some time n thinking .....

Japanil Kalyanaraman. Sequel to the classic, Kalyanaraman.

Recently, I would say that VV would be a considered sequel to KK since it were stories of police matter.

Kireedam: Intriguing tale
Naresh

t is about hope and despair. It is about love and lost world. It’s about father-son bonding. It is about how man becomes victim of circumstances. The intriguing tale, a remake of the Malayalam super hit, Kireedam is the first Tamil venture for corporate giant Reliance’s Adlabs and also marks the return of veteran actor K Balajee’s Sujatha Cine Arts. Except for a couple of dream songs everything looks earthy and natural. You find the characters not the actors in the film and that’s where director Vijay succeeds. He is ably supported by Anthony’s slick editing and Thiru’s deft camera work. GV Prakash’s background score gels with the proceedings.

The film opens with head constable Raja Rajan (Raj Kiran)’s dream. His dream is to see his eldest son Shakthivel (Ajith) wear police uniform before he retires. While Shakthivel was away appearing for the sub inspector of police interview, his father is transferred. The reason he admonishes the local MLA’s son who assaults a constable when asked to remove his car from the no parking zone. The area to which he is transferred is known in police circles as a ‘punishment zone’ as a dreaded gangster Varadarajan (Ajay Kumar)’s rule is law there. Shakthivel who successfully completes the interview joins his family. His marriage is fixed with Divya (Trisha) whom he befriends after a couple of comic interludes.

One day Shakthivel saw his father being beaten by Varadan in the market place. To save his father, he thrashes the villain. Varadan is hospitalized with severe injuries. Shakthivel is brought to the police station by the Good Samaritan Inspector. Varadan’s gang is arrested and once he is discharged from the hospital, Varadan too was arrested by him. Varadan vows to eliminate Shakthivel who by then is worshipped by the locals as the new don, much to the discomfiture of Shakthivel. Evidence against his crimes not forthcoming, Varadan’s release becomes inevitable. The SI advises Shakthivel to leave the town and stay at his native place until he receives orders to join the police force. Shakthivel leaves to Trichy. By then Divya’s parents cancel his marriage with their daughter. Divya meets him but he advises her to marry the person of her parents’ choice. Meanwhile, Varadan sends his men to attack Shakthivel’s family members so that he returns to the town. The plan works. This leads to a poignant climax, anti-climax in the commercial cine parlance.

Ajith gives a stunning portrayal as Shakthivel, a victim of circumstances, essaying a gamut of emotions from a doting son, to a romantic lover to a fiery fighter (with well crafted stunts by Super Subbarayan). Rajkiran as ever came up with a neat portrayal. Upcoming Telugu actor Ajay Kumar debuts in Tamil as a villain and is adequate. Trisha is her usual bubbly self and there isn’t much for her to emote except to provide a few laughs. Vivek and Santhanam pep up with their gags. Ravi Kale as the inspector impresses.

AJIT's looks were damn good. He played the role to perfection.
The comedy scenes looked so disjointed like did the love sequences.

Both the duets were good numbers from GVP...

On the whole it was

i would say the songs were great but BGM was not upto the mark.. it was very silent in too many places.. reduced the pace of the movie..

Director vijay has to work on his screen play.. his camera angle were great..

I saw the malayalam movie before.. except the trisha ,santhanam scenes others were just the same as malayalam film. he managed to give a tamil feel for the film.

IMO, BGM was too good in the film. There are many scenes in which SILENCE had its effect. Esp the scene in which Ajith replies to Rajkiran with Just his eyes and a slight shake. Had GVP scored a BGM with tons of violins and other instruments for that scene, the feel wouldn't have been there. Anyway, respect your view

Ajith's costumes in the song sequences were too good esp in "Akkam Pakkam" song !

[tscii]
I saw ‘Kreedam’ yesterday. A very big applause to Ajith and Rajkiran. A mass hero needs to think a lot to do this kind of role and Ajith took it, which shows his confidence! This is not first time, he did the same kind of stuff in ‘Mugavari’ also.

Ajith is so special in this movie, very smart as usual, underplayed and definitely he has improved his body language and face expressions. In Climax his acting was too good. Overall a great performance and this movie is surely one of his best.

Rajkiran is quite exceptional. Very polite but aggressive father. He is great as usual!

Trisha was ok; her attempts on comedy were pathetic. I got irritated when she repeatedly calls Ajith as “kOni thirudan” and “thirudan sir”. Surprisingly she looks good in “akkam pakkam” song.

Story is something like “Dhill”,“Sandakozhi” but there are some major differences.At one part, I am able to guess the flow of the movie. I think that is the major flaw. Thanks to the director for not projecting police officers, as criminals. But a straightforward cop can’t survive in India?

Songs are good especially “Vizhigalil”. Vivek looks to be back to his own form and Santhanam was also ok.

Overall a very natural movie and I really liked it. Kudos to the new director Vijay for his first-class attempt and to Ajith, Rajkiran for doing such an astonishing characters.

I feel Trisha was less annoying in this film then her recent ones. It was a mature performance, esp in her last scene with Ajith.

Ajith was excellent in all aspects and he looked dashing throughout. The role looked as if it was tailor-made for him. He should definitely do more films like this.

I still haven't seen the alternate ending. Is it good?

Ajith is so special in this movie, very smart as usual, underplayed and definitely he has improved his body language and face expressions. In Climax his acting was too good. Overall a great performance and this movie is surely one of his best.

Rajkiran is quite exceptional. Very polite but aggressive father. He is great as usual!

just saw the box office report from behindwoods :

Cast: Ajith, Trisha, Rajkiran, Vivek
Direction: AL Vijay
Music: G.V.Prakash
Production: Suresh Balajee

Ajith’s histrionics along with Al Vijay direction is being much appreciated. Likewise, the music direction by G.V.Prakash is being cherished. In the comedy department, Santhanam takes top honors.

Trade Talk:
The movie due to its low price has made the distributors smile, but the collections are deteriorating at a faster rate.

Public Talk:
Slowness in the script post interval has not gone down well with the audience. Few people have liked the new climax, but most of them seem to have rejected it.

N.O. Weeks Completed: 3.
N.O. Shows in Chennai over the last week: 140.
N.O. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 81.
Average Theatre Occupancy over the last week: 22 %.
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 25 %.
Collection over the last week in Chennai: Rs.0.08 Crores
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs.0.06 Crores
Total collections in Chennai by end of the fourth weekend: Rs.1.45 Crores

Verdict: Hit

Yea, I was wondering the same. I feel that the original was the BEST ending, because anything else would seem too artificial, but a part of me wanted to see Ajith win something at the end too, so I'd like to see the happy ending.

For some reason, Trisha is kinda annoying, but in this film (altho her comic efforts were a little half-baked) she looked cute and towards the end, did put up a mature performance.

Raj Kiran was excellent and was a perfect foil for Ajith. One thing that surprised me in this film was Vivek. For the first time, I didn't like him due to his role which kinda made him out to be the baddie. No fault of his really.

I think few of the critics would have become more happy had the director
- made Sakthi's sister getting killed brutally after a gang rape
- Shakthi mother getting killed brutally by a gang, not limited to 15
- Shakthi's brother getting killed with blood oozing out from all parts of his body
etc
It is a GREAT SIN that the director has not satisfied such people

There is nothing to worry for ajithfans since he has given a *Good* movie compared to many masala junks. Kireedom is not a VAralaaru though. Family audience appreciated Varalaaru a lot and Kireedom is meant more for female audience IMO. He pulled family audience with Varalaaru and Kireedom is an effort to bring cheers to the lady fans IMO :P
We (Thala fans) are happy with the final product, output and much happy to see a film like this compared to PMS, TPT etc.

GOD has given him DEDICATED fan base that spends enormous money just to see him on screen. Like how Simbu put "Ethanaiyo vetri tholvigal vanthaalum avarukku irukkira opening kuraiyaamal iruppathu kadavul aLitha varam". His -ve was inability to judge the perfect execution of his films (I consider that as a bad luck and not as a -ve thing). Now, he has indeed corrected that and he is back with a bang. Possibility for A film like PMS, TPT etc is 0% and from here onwards he will instill a permanent fear in many people's hearts.

We are waiting for that moment

I think ,Many Ajith movies like Alwar ,Paramasivan ,thiruppathi flopped for having many aspects mentioned here by Maddy and Selva ..Avoiding those helped Kreedom not to fall into the same category ,so become hit atleast.

So you mean Kreedom is less success than PMS and Thiruppathi?

You need to get updated

No problem .I am updated.

IMO PMS was an average & Thiruppathi ran for 57 days in the SAME PAZHANIAANDAVAR theatre

It is certainly not a flop !
Yes, it beats me when I see films like Varalaaru running in Sivakasi only for 35 days (collection was more through) Thiruppathi atleast was labelled / identified as perfect C centre movie that I can watch along with Front Benchers. Problem with AAlwaar was it didn't fell into any of these categories. Primary problem with these movies was lack of scenes that could match the scenes of previous commercial movies of ajith.

Let me also highlight MUGAVARI here. It didn't have a gang rape, brutal killings etc. Yet, it became a HIT. Kireedom belongs to the league of Mugavari and that is why it is a HIT and not the other way around
Meanwhile, our audience are more keen to see "Overdose of everything" and the movies have upgraded them already to that level. Avanga ethirpaarkiran PHYSICAL SENSATIONALISM padathula illa. That is what myself and Maddy are referring to. (That is why even a film like Veyyil couldn't become a HIT)

With such excess dopings, many have lost their taste for NORMAL MOVIES !
Just saw chennai-28 celebrations in vijaytv in which KB mentioned "Kolai VERI, Vanmurai Veri etc vellam vanthukittu irukkira intha kaalathula, CRICKET veri ah portray pannunathu thaan indha padathoda vertrikku kaaranam" something ||| to that. Evena movie ilke chennai 28 has "Ennamoe" song.

If veyyil is not a hit, then i wonder how kreedom can be a hit?!

and its not fair to compare veyyil with kreedom with the former bagging more international attention than kreedom (tamil) would EVER get.

to put the blame on the audience is always easy - thts wht most of our directors (and now fans also) are very good at.
mozhi was a hit, veyyil was a hit, azhagiya theeye was a hit. none of these had gang rapes etc. unlike before, our audience are nowadays appreciating movies in every Genre.
Kreedom has terribly slided in its third week itself not because of the audience wanting gang rapes or excess gore - but due to the flaw in its screenplay and packaging.

From: selvakumar on 15th August 2007 03:23 PM [Full View]

I never compared Veyyil & KIreedom. I was stressing on the point of the way movies are being viewed. Let me correct my statement. Few of my friends said Veyyil is a HIT whereas here in Bangalore it was a BIG FLOP. I watched it on the second day and there were hadly 10 people inside the theatre. So, we can assume that it is a HIT. Veyyil too was criticised badly and FEW REVIEWERS WENT ON TO COMPARE IT with Sivakasi (film) even. PV is a big hit now. MOZHI / Azhagiya theeyae are not big hits compared to PV. So, "BIG HIT" is decided by FEW FILMS and Kireedom / Veyyil / AT failed in that.

If Kireedom failed due to screenplay and packaging, I donno why a film like VARALAARU went on to become ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTERS / BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER OF 2006 !

Tirupathi is the best example where Ajit goes wrong.

Compare Ajit's intro scene with Perasu's intro scene...

like camera angle , dialogue .. etc..

Which is better..?

If they had worked properly on projecting Ajit as a mass hero

the film may went like Tirupachi or Sivakasi--What Ajit and AVM expected with Perarasu.

Even for Varalaaru we didn't get any support JOE

and that is why I never respect the net reviews / critics' reviews . They apply diff yardstick for people like ajith and that is clear ! (This is my personal observation over the years) They do their LEVEL BEST to DEGRADE his films and even the minute risks he takes. I expected the views of people like Sridhar, Maddy etc (just an example) ! not from reviewers / critics who do trash works most of the time. I did get the opinion of few of my friends who are FANS OF NONE. They liked the movie and they said it won't be a HIT like Varalaaru but it is worth watchable. I am sure you would have READ how FEW non-ajithfans defended the movie for a harsh review !

(not in the hub. but in the blog world)

Long time back, I have stopped expecting / reading reviews from people / media who do --- ------- job most of the time. I wouldn't be SAD if I hear the same

Enakku pudichirukku & 90% of the fans (my personal observation) is quite postive. 10% EXPECT MORE MASALA / FIGHTS from him ! Thats it

So, we can assume that it is a HIT. Veyyil too was criticised badly and FEW REVIEWERS WENT ON TO COMPARE IT with Sivakasi (film) even. PV is a big hit now. MOZHI / Azhagiya theeyae are not big hits compared to PV. So, "BIG HIT" is decided by FEW FILMS and Kireedom / Veyyil / AT failed in that.

If Kireedom failed due to screenplay and packaging, I donno why a film like VARALAARU went on to become ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTERS / BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER OF 2006 !

and its not fair to compare veyyil with kreedom with the former bagging more international attention than kreedom (tamil) would EVER get.

to put the blame on the audience is always easy - thts wht most of our directors (and now fans also) are very good at.
mozhi was a hit, veyyil was a hit, azhagiya theeye was a hit. none of these had gang rapes etc. unlike before, our audience are nowadays appreciating movies in every Genre.
Kreedom has terribly slided in its third week itself not because of the audience wanting gang rapes or excess gore - but due to the flaw in its screenplay and packaging.

accepted - mozhi/AT may not be as big hits as PV - but to say that to become a big hit you ought to have gang rape is stretching a lil too far!!

And again you are comparing Varalaaru with kreedom - well they are movies of diff genre - and are u saying varalaaru didnt have good screenplay and packaging then!?

Varalaaru had no support?!?! - Its always the argument of ajith being marked or ajith has no support being brought in when his films dont do well

I do know a person (who portrays himself as film critic & who is appreciated ) who trashed Varalaaru. If you read that review, you will understand what I am referring to. I think we are discussing on diff planes. I am referring to things that is liked by the people and those things that guarantee BIG HIT. For a movie to be a BIG HIT, you need SEVERAL FACTORS. Even so called good movies have them in a subtle way. If a movie lacks that completely or fails to match up in quantify , they are appreciated with a bit of mixed feelings and then they are forgotten. Varalaaru too received unfair comments on ajith's performance.

[dig]This is AJITH'S THREAD and we are discussing on him. When you are discussing with fans, they will have their own reasons. My view is one among them.

That doesn't mean that EVERYTIME they will say he lacks support and that is why his films don't do well. We won't say that " We expect few crappy things from him ONLY ALL THE TIME and we should settle for that and so they are good films"

If we say an ajith movie as GOOD, it will be compared with GOOD movies and negatives are pointed out. We accept it. Perception varies.
If there is a worthy masala movie, it is compared witha GOOD MOVIE and bashed (for Varalaaru people compared the movie with Chandu pottu and degraded which they didn't do for other actors' movies)
Many complain about his DD / voice etc while they fail to do the same for others ( There is a film ||| to citizen and hero's HIndi accept and delivery is the most funniest deliveries I ahve ever seen. But we should no say that) We have a famous hero who has problems with his DD. But that wont be highlighted all the time. If people are satisfied with such DDs, then why should they complain about AJITH'S DD. AThayum vittu poida vendiyathu thaane)

For the samething, I know few people who SETTLE WITH NI SINGERS telling that they are like that and their voice is like that. But they will complain for Ajith. That is what irks us th emost

Mate, you are right

I agree on both the views. He should do movies that become big blockbusters and at the same time movies that are appreciated for his performance.
Kireedom is a HIT. But either way the same response would have been received among the critics / reviewers. So, he should act in movies that become big blockbusters so that we can safely remain DEAF to the others' views.

Joe and honesty

First, anything to do with Thala is not good for you.
Sivashankar has admitted Thala's mannerisms, body language and the performance reminded him of his early days and said it was a superb performance. Even Kamal did. But this performance is ordinary to you.

Once you said Thala is a notable actor that's why you're often here, but you are not seen in other notable actors and your another fav Vikram's threads. A few good words on Thala is unthikable for you. I was told that you ranked him above Jeeva and Bharath as an actor. Where did honesty go? You talk of "branding." You watched another movie this year and did not like it. You won't say that in respective thread and you won't be critical of that actor because of the fear someone'll brand you as something.. (now pls understand I'm not encouraging you to do that, but just telling you)

If you're a very honest person, don't watch crapfests in theatres and watch all the goods in theatres. Be critical of every actor that takes a wrong step, not Thala alone.
And please don't get emotional, this is just a discussion.

I don't know why media and some people who pretend to be critic have special interest in Thala.

Now, please go on and tell us what you wanted to. We're used to your 'honesty.'

From: Vivek4life on 15th August 2007 11:15 PM [Full View]

Bad dialogue delivery is a misconception.
Ppl should understand Citizen and Red weren't meant to be art films, but commercial. We all agree his DD in the court scene in Citizen was artificial to the core and he was loud in Red.
Thala is too good of an actor to be artificial in the court scene. I'm not sure why he did. Maybe the new director thought it'd be effective. I just believe it because he's a better actor than that.
Red-maybe an attempt to change himself completely into a star. I don't know. But his DD in films that followed Red were great. Ji, GF, and Kireedom were few films that neeeded good performance from him and he did well. No normal person will question his impeccable DD in Kireedom.

As Selva says, some people.. oh I mean some critics only know Thala.. maybe they don't consider others as actors

I appreciate ur opinion. At the same time, I don understand one thing. Why most of u guys r saying the movie is very slow??? IMO, Kireedam is not a mass movie like Run for example which had fast pace. Kireedam revolves around relationship, so the director has to go or describe the story frame by frame. Do u consider movies like Ryhtam or SOK slow paced??? Those movies are about bonding & I think they had to be handled that way...

Also, it was nice reading his AV interview ! Cool & composed character is our Ajit .

Admit it you're a Vijay fan or get a life.
When did we talk about Vikram, Surya or TT? We don't really care about them nor what you have to say about them. You talk as if Thala is the only actor around and you've to criticize him all the time. I know you're here with a hindden agenda to spoil the fun. First you took on Thala, and now on us.

Joe,
Did you see Kireedam? Please do post your frank and honest opinion about the movie. We Ajith Fans are here to take the criticisms (Genuine ones) in the right sense and can't tolerate slandering against Thala. We Ajith Fans will never jump on you.

Riding the success wave

Riding the success wave
Thursday August 16 2007 12:31 IST

Director Vijay is happy as his first movie, Kireedom,has become a success.

A job well begun is half done. Director Vijay had more than a job to do picking the knot of the runaway Malayalam hit Kireedom and shaping it to the taste of a different audience. Having being declared a hit, the debutant director said he is breathing a lot easier.

Remakes are considered a safe bet, like a long distance runner running behind the ones setting the pace. In all fairness to Vijay, he had catered to the changes keeping in mind the fan following of Ajith.

While the audience accepted the realistic end of the Mohan Lal-starrer, there were screams of protest from the so-called B and C centres, the pendulum deciding the fate of a movie. All set to make a history of sorts is Vijay, having to shoot two climax in his lung opener.

Excited he was to ‘shoot the segments’ with a riot of colour triggering a war of dance from the protagonists - ‘Raj Kiran lending a lot of weight in that war dance.’

As assistant to Priyadarshan - four films to be precise - Vijay said the learning process never seemed to end. “The cardinal rule was to observe, store inputs at the back of the mind and not compromise on the originality while taking guard.”

It is one thing to get the opportunity and the other in having the freedom to perform. On both count, it ticked for Vijay, with producer Suresh Balaji giving him a freehand.

In chennai, kireedom is dropping.

No of shows in sangam has reduced. Also, but for weekends, shows in shree (a mini theatre) is not full.

It has turned to be an avg hit in chennai & not as expected by ajith fans.

it may be because the story was littl bit streched after the interval. Then the cut scenes and the change of climax

. Another factor is the release of Other movies!

From: smith1 on 20th August 2007 02:48 PM [Full View]

Ajith fans were saying that it was the climax that was spoiling & wanted it to be changed.

Now U are saying that the revised climax is the cause?

Pray, what are the other movies that caused it to slide? Pallikoodam & arya?

Both have bombed anyway.

we don care!

its the BO hit, Low production Value, producer sold it with profitable mark and distributo buy it in very low value. they made profit within 10-15 days.

and regarding movie, its appreciated by everybody not only Ajith fans.
we r loved to see Ajith's performance, we were happy when cried at climax

don't get excited. I have only talked abt the B.O of the film - not abt the quality.

You also said the samething during Varalaaru as well. You said it is just a HIT and not even a Super Hit / Blockbuster

Now, what will you say?
I agree that Kireedom may not become a big hit. But it is a hit not even an average !

From: anoops on 20th August 2007 05:44 PM [Full View]

as per Behind woods BO report, the movie had 25% collections in the THIRD week - not sure on the hit part if you go by that - yes, low production cost might be ok - but still third week such low collections calls for unnecessary speculations

i guess the movie's correct status wud be known depending on Ajith's future choices - he had told that he wont work with new directors if kreedom doesnt work out - so that wud be a good enuf indication than depending on the website collections report which again wud be biased and not accurate

Behindwoods BO Report

AI Vijay’s adaptation of the Malayalam hit Kreedom has received only a lukewarm response at the box office. Ajith’s talents are undoubtedly appreciated so are those of musician G.V. Prakash and the director Vijay.

Trade Talk:
Kreedom opened with huge expectations but could not sustain the excitement generated by fans. The collections are plummeting.

Public Talk:
The movie’s sluggish pace and a modified climax proved to be villains for the movie

N.O. Weeks Completed: 4.
No. Shows in Chennai over the last week: 108.
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 72.
Average Theatre Occupancy over the last week: 14 %.
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 19 %.
Collection over the last week in Chennai: Rs.0.04 Crores
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs.0.03 Crores
Total collections in Chennai by end of the fifth weekend: Rs.1.52 Crores

Verdict: Hit

Regarding working with new dierctors, ajith is to be appreciated. But later on when he came his films with time started flopping, he should have moved on to working with established dirs or atleast maintained a balance.

It happened to vijaykanth. He encouraged film students & it paid him diivdends to start with - oomai vizhigal, pulan visaranai, captain prabhakaran but later on he went on to give as series of duds.

It feels good to be part of this production house which has worked with thespians of kollywood like Sivaji GAnesan and MGR, and decided to make a comeback with this movie after 15 years. IT was also a tie-up with ADLABS, SO it had its own corporate setup.

I would rate this as one of the TOP FIVE on my list of best films, as I have learnt a lot from it.

The audience has given us a mixed response so far, but on the whole the reviews have been good.

If u ask me where the film went wrong, I'll say I don't know. I am not living in the past and IT IS TOO EARTLY TO WRITE IT OFF !!

I think all those who take THALA'S words with the usual prefix "Avarae solluraarula" will accept that it is one of his TOP FIVE FILMS

If the response is mixed does that mean, a movie is an average / flop

How ?
There are plenty of examples in which MIXED RESPONSE lead to a HIT.
I think after few months, you will agree that Kireedom is a HIT and not NOW !

like u did for VAralaaru.
The movie has already made enough profit.
AFAIK, the LOW PRODUCTION VALUE doesn't mean, the movie was sold at Adi maattu rate. It was pretty less compared to Aalwaar and the reasons are obvious. The reduction was around 30%. I don't think such % will lead to further speculations

How ?
There are plenty of examples in which MIXED RESPONSE lead to a HIT.
I think after few months, you will agree that Kireedom is a HIT and not NOW !

like u did for VAralaaru.

mixed response, overall it's good. this's how he said.

Selva, it is waste of time. He never accepted Varalaaru was a BB.

Now he won't accept the success of Kireedom.

Please please ignore him as much as possible. He's bored. He's gonna ask you rather stupid questions. You don't need to answer them.

smith, if you have questions regarding Kireedom, call the producer. If you wanna complain, call Ajith. We're just fans and are happy with all the happenings.

Do your work please, your manager is gonna catch you browsing.

Reliance to produce some big budget films...
- 18.08.2007
The kind of numbers that you're now going to hear will
make your heart go weak. You might even want to faint.
If you are a Malayalam filmmaker, you might be tempted
to wail.

Anil Ambani's Adlabs is very serious about making a
strong presence in the film industry. In spite of the
slow start, their first big project in Tamil,
'Kireedam' has become a big hit, especially after
changing the climax.

Now, the company intends to produce two films with
Kamalhasan. The actor/director has budget of Rs 50
Crores at his disposal to execute the films.

'Shivaji' Shankar intends to direct a big budget film
in Bollywood. This one will star Shahrukh Khan in the
lead role. He had a budget of Rs 100 Crores for the
film. Adlabs has come forward to produce this film
too!

Though the charm of having a producer with deep
pockets is a bit too hard to resist, there is a
filmmaker in Tamil who has said "No" to the idea of
co-producing the film with Adlabs. The producer in
question had planned to make a film with Vishaal in
the lead. Adlabs was eager to get into this project
too. But the producer, Vishaal's dad, refused.

100 crores! You could make 20 films in Malayalam with
that kind of money!!!

Kreedam was sold for 75Lakhs and it has laready reaped close to 1.5 crores. I agree Chennai might not alone truely project Kireedam's run in TN..... but it is still reasonable sample size.

If you expect a movie to run 100 days and claim it as hit, then I dunno what to say.

I wonder why many people have a mentality to stress others failed than saying that they won

Kreedam is a hit. Period.

But Thala may not be interested to stick Fake Posters of 200 days!! It doesnt mean it is not a Hit.

Kreedam satisfied every one starting from Thala to Producer to Distributor to Fans and Neutral Audiences. Interms of profitability as well as quality.

freedom, in the sample you are bringing in ie for Chennai, the theatre occupancy was 25% in the THIRD week and some 19% in the FOURTH week -- can we take that as the same then across TN also!? the source is the same you have picked up for the 1.5 Crores collection data.

"Apperpatta Sivaji ye" -- it was sold for 6.5 Crores and obviously you can't talk abt getting profit in 1-2 weeks

Chennai Box Office- Aug 17 to 19

King Khan has been able to live up to his reputation. SRK’s Chak De has been able to hold on remarkably in its second week at Chennai multiplexes. The film in its second week has done 93 percent, truly remarkable showing the Shah Rukh Khan clout in Chennai! At number two is Rajnikanth’s Sivaji, which is still collecting 75 to 85 percent during holidays, though it is running in fewer screens. At number three is NTR-Mohan Babu social fantasy Yamadonga, which has grossed Rs 12.5 lakhs in five days since it’s Aug 15 opening in two Chennai screens and is a super hit. It is the best ever opening for a Telugu film this year.

In the fourth position is Maddy’s Arya, an average grosser that will break even for its distributors and the presence of Vadivel is a major plus. Ajit’s Kireedam has been sliding, it is able to hold on only because it is playing in multiplexes, with high ticket rates.Sundar.C’s Veerappu is attracting more audiences, but in theatres with low ticket rates!

Adhe box office report le Arya ku 2nd place.... ennaku sirippu varudhu.Arya is Maddy's worst disaster ever. Theatre la after 1st week 10-20 peru thaan nu en friends and indha hub leye neraya peru solli irukaanga ... so I I highly speculate thier figures. FYI with just 19% occupancy no movie can hold on to theatres(it would have already been shifted to 2nd fiddle theatres if it was the case, like what happened to aalwar)

The reason I brought in Sivaji is in terms of profit. 2 weeks and distributor has already made 100%. I'm sure money matters nowadays.

Reg Sify.... they are ones which claimed Arya to be hit just over 1 weekend. Sorry to see the same website which promotes both movies apply a different yardstick

From: Freedom on 22nd August 2007 09:59 PM [Full View]

Anoops ..... Actually I wanted to say something more... but ran short of time today morning.

Lets say movie like Arya has been sold to a adi maatu velai of 30 lakhs in chennai (assuming that madhavan's market is all time low!).... do you think they would have recovered the money in first three days within chennai to brand it a hit???? Definitely not. His movies donot even get an opening like Ajith's movie(which made close to 25 - 30 lakhs in 1st week) The answer is very simple. Madhavan gives lots of interviews, appears for their promotional Metro plus along with VJ, Vikram and others and thats how sify pays back.

Producer Balaji sify evalo kaasu koduthaaro avalo thaan avanga exhuthuvaanga. I think this topic has already been beaten to death by fellow huubers of how jouranalism ethics have come down coz of sites like this.

Yaaru mela thppau nu ennaku theriyala.... either thala shud give more interviews or these sites show follow basic ethics . Onnu mattum nichayam .... As SS and Ajith says 'Unmai vellum' (but I dunno when!). Behind woods ku kooda athey nelamai thaan (these guys wanted publicity and had their hoarding in Kasi theatre when kireedam got released ... idhu kali kaalam da saami!)

Do you have any idea about Kreedom Cost of Production and Profit.

What is thala Salary ?

From: anoops on 23rd August 2007 07:04 AM [Full View]

am referring to only BW BO report - sify has been trying its best to be LOYAL to those official movies they are sponsoring - so no comments on their BO report and Arya Hit. I guess as per BW its AVERAGE.

and Kreedom is in no way comparable to Alwar. Kreedom perhaps would have covered its production costs with close to 4 weeks running now. I donno how the TERM HIT is categorized, well if its covering the production costs with 'some' amt of profit - no more arguments.

No producer is going to come up and say the real profit/business of any movie - unless its a disaster and they incurred heavy loss. So the real BO result of Kreedom is not going to be known at all with no acceptance of any BO report - So lets leave the BO status of Kreedom as it is (coz i am jus arguing based on the BW "NUMBERS" which again could be cooked up by them and on the fact that climax was changed)

Also I guess ANY negative media reports on Ajith movies are going to be taken like this - Media is against Ajith - so dont know what could be the source then for news related to Ajith movies. If news in praise of his movies comes, then its nice and if any media writes negative, then its baisedness against him. If you go by bloggers' reviews - i.e neutral bloggers - not fan reviews - you would have known that the movie was neither fitting into the class or the mass scenario.
Ajith is to be appreciated for agreeing to such a script. And the new director having got Ajith to accept this movie, with not much of interference on adding mass elements, could have done a better job and made it a GREAT class movie. he reportedly had one year to write a screenplay in tamil for the movie and still I feel that he has screwed up - more like Shankar screwing up Sivaji - its the same feel.
IMO the director could have done a great movie and ended up with an average one even with no one being a hindrance to him.

From: joe on 23rd August 2007 08:18 AM [Full View]

I always have a doubt that the collection figures(for any movie) given by websites are distributor share alone or the whole amount (Tax + Theatre share + Distributor share)...when a distributor buy rights for a amount ,only distributor share must be taken into consideration to calculate the profit..right?

Last Movie I Saw Was Kreedom (half spoilers...be warned!):

Pros

Ajith really didn’t want to become a rowdy/don/criminal

Raj Kiran got a song about how proud his son was making him

There was no item girl song (too bad huh guys??? )

There is no stupid scene after a gruesome scene in which Trisha dreams of a dapangkuthu song sequence

There was a minimum of songs…two tear-jerkers, one sweet number, and one upbeat one

RajKiran actually does not tell his son to break the rules and say “go beat the crap out of those guys!”

RajKiran actually is shown as having some mean fighting skills

Ajith is actually sentimental and respects his family

Ajith’s grandma has a mean chopping style before she’s hurt

There is not a conventional ending to this movie

Ajith actually doesn’t get the girl (alright I mean that’s bad…but it’s a change from the norm)

Trisha instead of getting all mushy actually disses Ajith’s whole family…and her dad during their one alone kinda scene

There is no bride stealing scene (he promised not to and kept his word)

As in reality...mostly...exceptions are made for Ajith to continue to pursue his goal....but no out-of-this-world ridiculous loophole is found for him

Ajith refuses to have a drink, does so but keeps his cool

Three comedians: (Vivek, Santhanam and Sathyan)

Vivek is actually half evil in this movie (again adds some layer to his character)

There is no big story/background to the villain -This could be a pro or a con (pro because again it’s different)

Cons

Trisha’s dubbed?/real? voice sounded really high pitched and squeaky…especially in opening scene

I don’t get why anyone would steal a Ganapathi Silai from a household?

Ajith really doesn’t interact with any of his siblings or grandma

Ajith’s bro is a woose (wimp) :P

For a guy who looks like a stick Kumar (the thin cop’s son) is a mean stupid drunk

The bags under Ajith’s eyes get bigger as the movie progresses

The main villain has got to brush up on his villain skills – you do not growl like an animal all the time

Once again with the blatant product placement - bullet, pulsar, kintal...and that powder stuff that Ajith and RajKiran down (what is that some energy booster? Is that really good...i mean when you're running and have a parched throat should you really be sucking down powdered food? how about water instead?
Too bad they didn't tell me where to buy Ajith's watch...that was certainly worth the notice

Is that really good...i mean when you're running and have a parched throat should you really be sucking down powdered food? how about water instead?
Too bad they didn't tell me where to buy Ajith's watch...that was certainly worth the notice

Have seen 'Kreedom' - A movie worth a watch

From: joe on 17th September 2007 08:27 AM [Full View]

* Ajith acting is good ,especially in Climax. He has improved his dialogue delivery.

* RajkiraN did excellent job as usual (but Thavamai thavamirunthu performance still remains as his best)

* Trisha is OK ,though her pillayar episode didnt sync atleast for me.

* Viveks comedy is not upto his standard ,but not bad as reported .On the other hand Santhanam's comedy is flat and very ordinary ,controry to praised by many

* Director has done a decent job ,though we can't judge him fully with a remake movie.

* Music is better than expected.

* Villian is disappointment.

Overall: Movie is neither classic nor malasa ..When original came in malayalam ,it might be a new plot ,but now parts of story has been used in many movies ,so it didn't look fresh .But,Surely worth a watch for Ajith and Rajkiran's performance .

Selva,
Atleast in singapore ,you can't get pirated VCDs before it is released Original ,but in malaysia you can get in few days when movie still running in theatres.

Normally we get VCDs within 3 to 4 weeks of release .May be Rajini,kamal movies and few hit movies if run more than a month ,takes more time

I thought it is coming from other countries like canada. Never thought it will release in M'sia and s'pore.
Anyway, NET nalla padam vasoola azhikkuthu

Selva,
Not sure about availability in NETS ..But surely VCDs available in Malaysia before Original VCDs available in singapore .

Sivaji net la release aagalennu nenaikiraen. IF the producers don't release the VCD of the movie, then there is little chance for the pirated versions / availability in the NET . Right ?

I never watched new movies from NET..So Don't have much idea whether it is a copy from Officially released VCD or from some other source ..Sivaji VCD havn't been released in singapore ,since it is still running with 2 shows..May it it will be out after 100 days mark.

Selva,

IMO
Producers releasing the movie officially has nothing or little to do with aiding internet piracy etc.. Official VCD/DVD's will be available only after the theater runs and will have no bearing on the results.
OTOH, internet versions are because of piracy/leak etc which is available much before the official DVD/VCD release..

Infact, in Bollywood, DVD release has been followed as a revenue model...

Till now, I thought that the DVD release by the distributors is the main reason for the piracy.

But how the "Piracy GURUs" get even CRYSTAL CLEAR DVD quality versions of the movies ?
