Pattiyal - Of guns and gangsters
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, March 18, 2006]

Chennai may not have an organized underworld like Mumbai does. But if it had, it would certainly look like the one that Vishnu Vardhan has dreamt up in Pattiyal. And in this soft underbelly of a society he looks for some heart.

The film has a brooding, disturbing quality ---- reminding a range of directors from Quentin Tarantino to our own Ram Gopal Verma. The thing is that Vishnuvardhan has combined old-fashioned style of story telling with some telling technical virtuosity.

Backed by exemplars like Yuvanshankar Raja, he has come up with a film that will have an appeal across the board. He has also managed to wrench out believable performances from the top four.

The story begins around Koshy (Arya) and Selva (Bharath), the quintessential back street boys, the hatchet men of Sami (Cochin Haneefa). Koshy is an unblinking man with nary a feeling for life. Selva, deaf and dumb, is equally intrepid. But he has a heart ticking beneath the dark, dire exterior. Killing is their life.

But life arrives in the life, so to speak, in the form of Saroja (Padmapriya) and Sandhya (Pooja). The former falls for Koshy's machismo while the latter has a thing for the hidden softness of Selva.

When Koshy and Selva set out to bump off Nachimuthu Gounder (Santhanabharathy), things come to head and leads to a violent and a stunning denouement.

Arya is stand out as the emotionless Koshy. His brooding eyes give the right perspective to a tough-as-nails killer. But Bharath, in a much more complex and bankable role, hits all the right notes. After Kadhal, he is again in top form getting all the nuances just about right. The two girls, Padmapriya and Pooja, seem inspired choices. They have got the right understanding and carry off the role adroitly. Cochin Haneefa is always very realistic to watch.

Nirav Shah's camera is of the highest quality. His lighting and innovative angles deserve a special mention. Yuvan is the right music director for such a movie. He gets it all pat right. The editing, Srikar Prasad's, also provides the film the right momentum.

You can always see shades of Hollywood and Bollywood gangster films in Pattiyal.

But Vishnu Vardhan has managed to package it all with the vibrancy and virtuosity.

Vishnuvardhan is the new style mannan among Tamil film directors, as proved by his debut film and now the latest Pattiyal. Stylistically inventive throughout, Vishnu�s foray into Chennai�s mean street inhabited by hired killers and ordinary slum dwellers arouse your interest and admiration for the director.

Video footage, moodily-lit authentic locations, intermittent flashes of zippy-zappy editing, top-line performances, digital imaging, knock out action scenes, great music and re-recording are just some of the highlights.

Pattiyal has a straightforward plot with an emotional core. Vishnu has beautifully etched out the friendship and bonding between two orphans, Koshy (Arya) and Selva (Bharath) who are hired killers for a middleman Sami (VMC Haneefa). Koshy is an emotionless, rough and tough guy who talks a lot while Selva is a fearless, deaf and dumb guy with some human emotions.

They are happy with whatever they make out of as contract killers for the rich and powerful and can�t think of life beyond their slums. Saroja (Padmapriya), a girl working in a garment company is crazy about Koshy who does not have any feeling for her. Selva meets Sandhya (Pooja) a salesgirl in a medical shop and they fall in love, which brings out the hidden romantic feelings and emotions in him. One day Sami gets them a big contract to kill a Kovai based businessman and politician Nachimuthu Gounder (Santhanabharathy), which turns their life upside down leading to a savage and brutal climax.

On the acting front, Vishnu has extracted astonishingly life-like performance from the lead cast. As Sami the middleman, VMC Haneefa is a surprise packet. Padmapriya as Saro is a revelation totally contrary to the image she had so far while Pooja as Sandhya is good. Arya is so hot-n-cool that you feel the fire-n-ice within. His body language and mannerism personifies the wry gangster with dollops of humour and his romantic encounters with Padmapriya are fun to watch.

But it is Bharath who is virtually the scene stealer. He has an author-backed role and you cannot take your eyes off him. As Selva the mute, he has an impassive face and his large eyes convey all the strangled emotions of a person unable to communicate with people around him. The scene where he bumps off Gounder towards the climax has the audience clapping and whistling!

Technically, Pattiyal is top class. Nirav Shah�s lighting and camerawork, Raj Kannan�s dialogues and Sreekar Prasad�s crisp editing gives the film an extra edge. Yuvan Shankar Raja�s music and background score is the life of the film and the songs are brilliantly inserted into the narrative. The first half is slightly slow while the tempo catches up in the last twenty minutes of the film which is racy and riveting. Vishnuvardhan has etched out the mute Selva character from Bangkok Dangerous and the atmosphere of City of Gods.

On the whole, Pattiyal is the most realistic gangster movie made in recent times with style and substance.

Verdict: Go, watch it!

From: Ramakrishna on Sat Mar 18 13:43:50 2006.

Director Vishnu Vardhan has done it yet again. He has managed to put up a good show at the box office with his Pattiyal.

Starring Arya, Bharath, Padmapriya and Pooja, the movie produced by Punnagai Poovae Geetha has opened big at various theatres where the movie was released.

Expectations were high on Vishnu Vardhan after Arindhum Ariyamalum and he has lived up to them.

Adding strength to the movie is Yuvanshankar Raja's music. For both Arya and Bharath a grand opening has come.

Let's hope the audience continues to throng theatres to sustain this grand opening.

From: selvakumar on Mon Mar 20 6:47:02 2006.

Pattiyal is a good movie esp if u do listen to some dialogues of Arya, you will surely have a good

Navin,
Do u think PadmaPriya should do only family oriented subjects. Even in TT, she did a sizzling song with cheran. There is no point in bashing those scenes in Pattiyal. But I would say - It is the story about Gangsters dude. What else can u expect them to do?

Do u want them to go in SUMOs and shout with a gun and utter dialogues like
" Enakku ethiriya vaazha vachu avan munnaadi vaazhnthu .........."

IMHO, Pattiyal portrayed the real life of gangsters in a good way. But this might have an indirect influence on selva's PP. People generally ditch movies that have similar stories.

Action-packed

(Pattiyal)

Director Vishnuvardhan announced his arrival with a bang in Arindhum Ariyamalum. He has gone one step further with Pattiyal, with which he has stamped his class. Seemingly inspired by director-producer Ramgopal Verma's style of film-making, Vishnu has made a movie narrating the tale of two young 'supari killers' in Chennai.

The theme may be new for the Tamil audience as hardly comes across the 'underworld' or 'supari killers' here. It is an idealistic film which has been given right treatment by the director. Sans established starcast, he has managed to dish out an engrossing movie. The movie talks about two orphans - Arya and Bharath, who are friends and care for nothing, are hired killers doing the job for a middleman VMC Haneefa.

An energetic Arya and the deaf-and-dumb Bharath come across two women Padmapriya, working in a garment factory and Pooja, a sales representative, living in a slum, and eventually fall for them. One day, Haneefa gets them a big contract to kill a leading entrepreneur. When they set off to accomplish their mission, the sequence of events lead to drastic changes in their lives.

The rest of the story is filled with action. Arya as the carefree youth has done a good job. Padmapriya, who dons the role of a girl from the slum, fits the bill. While she pays a bubbly girl in the first half, towards the end she is all emotion(s). Pooja looks dazzling. Her romantic sequences with Bharath have been well etched. Haneefa as the middleman walks away with honour.

Reminding one of his performance in Mahanadhi, where he played a baddie, Haneefa comes out with the needed improvisation to fit the role. However ,the actual scene stealer is Bharath. He impresses as the hearing-impaired and mute contract killer. The trio of Vishnuvardhan, cinematographer Nirav Shah and music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja have proved again that have it in them to make a technically good film.

Yuvan's background score and Nirav Shah's choice of colours are impressive.

A mix of Ramgopal Verma's films on underworld and the English flick City of Gods, Pattiyal is worth a watch.

"Vishnu's script did the magic": Bharath

By Moviebuzz

Bharath is on cloud nine after Pattiyal took a good opening and the film has been declared a hit. The young hero with no godfathers in the industry has come up due to his hard work and determination. The boy wonder of Boys and Kathal, has once again proved with Pattiyal that he is a star in the making. Shooting for Shankar�s new movie Veyil directed by Vasantha Balan from its outdoor location in Virudhanagar, Bharath spoke to Moviebuzz ..

Congrats! Pattiyal has taken a great opening and your performance is getting a lot of critical acclaim�
(Burst into laughter) Pattiyal has taken a great opening and I am glad that our hard work paid off. I would say that this success goes to each and everyone in the Pattiyal team.

How were you convinced to do a two hero subject?
It was not easy for me initially but after speaking to Vishnuvardhan I was totally convinced though most of my friends and well-wishers were against the idea. They said that it was suicidal for me to do a two hero subject after proving myself as a solo hero. But I was determined and now after seeing the film I give 100 percent credit to Vishnu.

What do you feel was responsible for the success of the film?
I think it was undoubtedly Vishnu�s script. Both the characters Koshy and Selva have well-etched out roles and let me tell you that I wouldn�t be able to do Koshy�s role and vice versa. Arya was superb with his powerful eyes, long hair and above all his good physique.

You seem to have a great rapport with Arya?
Yes that showed in the film also. Actually we vibe very well and had a great rapport off-screen too. And let me tell you that it was my rapport with Vishnu also helped the film a lot. As my character was a deaf and dumb Arya had to speak a lot which made Selva character very subtle and when this mute guy takes revenge it came as a big surprise for the audience. I would say that this was the twist in the story. Most of the people thought that the meek Selva would die and Koshy would take revenge. All credit once again goes to Vishnu and his script.

How did you prepare yourself for the role of a deaf and dumb Selva?
I had long discussions with Vishnu and he had very clear idea about how Selva character should shape up. I visited Little Flower deaf and dumb school near Anna Flyover (in Chennai) and spend a lot of time observing and speaking to them. I tried to learn sign language and everyone including assistant director Neelan helped me a lot.

You had an image make-over with Pattiyal. Please comment?
Yes� it was not a deliberate attempt from my part. But Pattiyal was a launch pad for me as an action hero. After proving myself as a lover boy.. the film gave me a chance to prove myself as an action hero.

What is your next film?
Right now I am shooting for Veyil directed by Vasantha Balan. My next release on April 14 will be Azhagai Irukkirai Bayamai Irukkirathu, a love fantasy directed by Vijay Milton. It is a fresh and colourful love story. I think like Vijay�s Poove Unakage , this film also delves into the pain of love and it has shaped out extremely well.

Tamil Movie Review : Pattiyal
Behindwoods.com

Pattiyal puts Selvaraghavan on a re-think mode

Cast: Arya, Bharath, Pooja, Padmapriya
Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Director:Vishnuvardhan

Director Vishnuvardhan need not have felt apprehensive at all when he released his Pattiyil. The movie is doing roaring business at the box-office. Produced at two crores, the movie has established the fact that Vishnuvardhan and heroes, Bharath and Arya are here to stay.

Though the movie is a rehashed version of the Hollywood flick City of God, Vishnuvardhan has done a good job to make it look like an original. It is the story of two criminals, Koshy (played by Arya) and Selva (played by Bharath), hired killers used by Samy (Haneefa). The story unfolds when Samy hires them to kill a Kovai based businessman-cum-politician Naachimutthu Gounder, played by Santhana Bharathi.

It is a fast paced thriller and cameraman Nirav Shah has done a wonderful job in making you feel not only the action sequences but also the sentimental scenes as well as the pranks that Bharath plays on his girlfriend Puja.

Mission accomplished

For Vishnuvardhan, making the film was not so easy a task. He had a story but then, he decided he must do some homework. He went into the underworld of Chennai metropolis, interviewed several dadas before drawing up his characters. No wonder that the characters seem to take realism to the dot. �I did some research, of course, but then I got into contact with the kind of characters even while I was young. My dad was in fishing business and we run into such characters quite frequently,� says Vishnuvardhan who himself has a sort of rebel attitude, with a tattoo of Chinese tribal dragon peeping out of his T-shirt.

Music and re-recording have beautifully gelled with the story, script and scene. For Nirav Shah it was tough indeed, not only visualizing the scene but also carrying the heavy and bulky camera. "The toughest part was shooting. With a camera as heavy as that, the physical aspect of handling it 15 hours a day was the most challenging part," laughs the cinematographer.

Theatre report:

Ask those coming out of the theatre how the movie was, they reply in chorus, �Super.� Trade analysts unequivocally call it a hit though they wouldn�t put it on par with Arindhum Ariyaamalum, Vishnuvardhan�s earlier film.

After effects:

Certainly this film must have put Selvaraghavan and Dhanush in a re-think mode. Reports say that Selvaraghavan�s Dhanush starrer Pudhupaettai carries a similar theme. However, more concerned must be some of the top stars. They better watch out for these younger heroes and directors like Arya, Bharath and Vishnuvardhan. Bharath as a deaf and mute rogue has given his best. So has the villain Haneefa. We join the audience in their �super.�

Hmmm .... It sounds to me like PP might be very similar to Pattiyal, both story-wise and in screenplay ... Maybe that's why Selva is hesitant in releasing the movie ... Same thing happened with Anniyan after CM too last year ... But don't worry Selva, we're used to watching movies that are very formulaic ....
From: Villan on Fri Mar 24 8:55:39 2006.

Pattiyal really sucks...cuz....for the whole movie thr is no police at all....what the hell is happenin in da screen..

its not a different story if the hero dies at the end...

Not even a traffice police on dat screen while they shows the road....

it will b gud if we left the brain with HELMET while we enter inside.....
From: Salmon on Fri Mar 24 9:31:12 2006.

I just watched Pattiyal. Average entertainer. I am not sure why sify is hyping it.

Same old goonda story. When both thugs - Arya and Barath - wanted to repent, they are killed.

Scenes and dialogues are crass to give 'reality effect'. No comedy track. Songs suck. Too violent and vainglorious. Heavily inspired from Sathya(1988).

If you like Westerns and cowboy rides, watch this tragedy in theatre. Otherwise visit lankasri.

Verdict - 8 weeks

BGM and Cinematography have been done well. The ending was something different than what is usually shown in this type of an action movie. Quite realistic and clearly gives the message about the fate of henchmen.

The movie has some touch of Ram Gopal Varma.

Pattiyal is truly a great movie, saw it yesterday...Quick review...

Arya, Bharath, and Padmapriya totally stole the show!! And the screenplay was good racy action interwoven with touching moments of true friendship and affection:

Arya: This guy is barely 6 films old, and he already has his acting down!! Go Arya....His acting was wonderful...a mix of anger and humor...He really got into the skin of his character...

Bharath: Another guy to watch out for...he is just simply amazing as the deaf and dumb Selva, awesome performance, and he and Arya really make an awesome pair...

Padmapriya: Another surprise package, she's the unconventional looking heroine, however she is perfect as the wild Saroja...I think I may have become her fan as well, in addition to Arya and Bharath's

For all you Pooja fans, out there, I am really sorry, but although Pooja looks cute, I think she got the bad deal in all this...her character just seemed too half-baked, but she does look cute

Songs: YSR again is on a roll...The first song just gets your energy flowing with a magnificent beat.

Overall: Guys, yes it can be said to be inspired by a Hollywood film and other underworld films and what not, but this is definitely a must-watch...just for the fact that all these relatively new people have come together to make a movie that is truly both inspiring and thoroghly entertaining...GO FOR IT!!

Vishnuvardhan - Profile

By Moviebuzz

Vishnuvardhan rewrote the rules of Tamil commercial cinema with that runway super hit Arindhum Ariyaamalum which created a new genre of slick action movies with superb packaging. Now his latest film Pattiyal is not only turning out to be a super hit but is also getting rave reviews. The film based on the life and times of two hired killers in the mean streets of Chennai has taken this years best opening so far.

What has surprised the trade is that the film expected to open big only in cities has taken an amazing opening in small towns in B and C stations. The masses and classes seem to have fallen in love with Selva, Koshy, Sandhya and Saro the four lead characters in the film along with Yuvan�s riveting background score and peppy music. The trade is rejoicing as a film with lesser known stars has managed to get this kind of opening�.

Vishnu hails from a non-filmi background who did his schooling at the St.Bede�s in Santhome, Chennai. He was always active in all extra-curricular activities even while at school and when ace director Mani Ratnam came to select children for his Anjali, Vishnu was the chosen one for a dance sequence in the film. This was Vishnu�s first stint with cinema and after schooling; he joined visual communications and photography at Loyola College. He met up with Mani Ratnam and Santosh Sivan and expressed his desire to work under them.

He started as an assistant to Santhosh Sivan in films like Terrorist, Malli, Ashoka, Fiza , music videos and several ad films. Vishnu confesses that it was a great learning experience for him. He branched out on his own by making his first film Kurumbu but it was Arindhum Ariyamalum that catapulted him to fame and recognition. Vishnu�s wife Anu Vardhan is a leading costume designer in films and the couple has a son. Vishnu�s passion is watching films and says that he has lost count of films that he has watched.

Arya has been praised by everyone for his performance in this movie. In my opinion, it is Bharath who is emerging as an actor with promise.

A_A,

I beg to differ with you. Bharath role was a good role. But IMHO he failed to use the chance completely. He failed miserably in the BODY LANGUAGE dept.

Remember Ajith's role in Vaali (the same one). but he portrayed cruely in the eyes and through his excellant BODY language.

In that case, Bharath failed miserably in the climax scene and romantic scenes with Pooja.

My pick of Pattiyal will be ARYA.

this guy portrayed the life a GANGSTER well. His expressions over PADMAPRIYA'S rape (his eyes) and subsequent scenes.. wow.........I think ARYA utilised that chance well.

IMHO, Arya performed well.. whereas Bharath was pathetic in scenes that required more emotions.
From: alwarpet_andavan on Tue Mar 28 10:47:52 2006.

Selva,
Arya: Somehow his dialogue delivery reminded me of Arindum Ariyamalum "Kutty". In AA, he was an urbane 'hi-class' rowdy whereas in Pattiyal is a typical Ayodhikuppam 'saarpu' kai.....
Not saying he's a bad actor but IMO Bharath is the better actor.

Bharath: Not a flawless performance but he shows a maturity which belies his age. Maybe i need to watch it once more just to notice more chinks

One Q: If someone is deaf and mute from birth, i guess there's no possibility of lip-reading [e.g Black]. We have to take it that Bharath is not like that from birth....
From: mirth on Tue Mar 28 12:43:15 2006.

In Black, the girl was blind and deaf. That's why she couldn't lip read...

I enjoyed this movie. Both the lead actors did a good job. I guesss Bharath stays more in the mind because he was given a better role or least more screentime. I agree that Padmapriya's character was more enjoyable to watch. Pooja while she looked gorgeous had the lesser role. Very stylishly shot. Loved the music & BGM.

Haven't watched the Thai movie that Pattiyal was apparently inspired from but Pattiyal was pretty engrossing (I hardly looked at my watch) and a good time-pass.

In my opnion Arya has done a great job though I agree Bharath underplayed his role well. But I am sure Bharath could have not played the 'Koshi' character to the extent of Arya. It would have been a total mockery in that case. I feel it is not worth discussing who was better that whom. Both were good in their own role and the given context.

From: Kollywoodfan on Wed Mar 29 19:18:50 2006.

I agree with Roshan, it is difficult to imagine Bharath doing that role...

Kosi's character required a deep understanding of those kinds of people, what with the talk, body language, and all...I felt Arya mastered all the aspects because he just seemed so realistic...

Bharath got a role which he made to look as if it was just for him...it was a naive, innocent character and his face and body suited it, and he does justice to it...

A money spinner!

By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 30 March , 2006, 10:26

Pattiyal is the first big hit of 2006. Producer �Punnagaipoo� Gheetha(see pic) has all the reasons to smile as ten days after its release, the film has turned profitable for its distributors in Tamilnadu. In its second week the film is still managing to do 85 to 90 percent which is remarkable.

A whisper campaign by vested interests has been unleashed against Pattiyal saying that it is not doing well, after taking an impressive opening. But clarifies Tirupur Subramaniam the distributor of the film in Coimbatore: �Pattiyal is a hit and I have recovered my investment in just 10 days. Since there is no opposition till April 14 and the holiday season around, it will have a super run�.

Arulpati the Chennai distributor of Pattiyal had paid Rs 40 Lakhs for the city rights and according to trade sources he got a share of Rs 22 Lakhs in the first week and is expected to garner another 19 Lakhs in its second week making it a profitable venture. In the next two weeks the trade expects Pattiyal to collect another Rs 25 to 30 Lakhs as there is no new Tamil release till April 14.

According to trade analysts, Pattiyal sold for Rs 4.25 Crores, theatrical rights in Tamilnadu will do business worth Rs 7 to 8 Crores in the long run and if April 14 releases do not live up to expectations then it is 'Advantage Pattiyal', which may then touch the magic figure of Rs 10 Crore!

about pattiyal the movie does not live upto the expectations .Only good in it is Yuvan Music and Bharath acting i liked him in kathal & 4the student .

young actors who have some talent rather than dhanush/arya/satyaraj son /simbhu etc

Padmapriya and Pooja were very natural, great cast!!

From what i read here and and some sites, i shink the movie carries similar theme like Pithamaghan..

Vikram -- Bharath (deaf and dumb)
Arya - Surya (Both die in the end)

is that true?
From: Sanguine Sridhar on Tue Apr 4 13:50:15 2006.

I saw �Pattiyal� yesterday.

Arya
IMO this character is an updated version of �Arindhum Aruyamalum� �Kutti� character.His performance was very good, a pucca underground adiyaal.His body language was quite exceptional. I liked his performance.

Bharath
He did superbly in this movie.He played deaf and dumb character so good,
He produced couple of wonderful scenes. One, the way he expressed Pooja that how much he likes her, behind a locked door, when Pooja rejects Bharath when she knows that he is a rowdy and another one after the death of Arya. Good one!

Padmapriya
�Thavamai Thavamirundhu� Padmapriyava adhu!!! Hmmm!

Pooja
Anybody can do her character.Anyways as usual she looks good.

Story
�Kathi eduthavan Kathiyaaley saavaan� - movie one liner.Couple of scenes remembered me �Pidhamagan�. One thing really scared me, Killing people is this much easy?? Kaaigari narukkura maadhiri sarva saadharnama kolaigal nadakudhu.First under ground story without any Police,Investigation!!

Music
YSR�s BGM was good. Padmapriya�s item number kuthu song was really good.

Direction
Vishnuvardhan�s second success.He liked to give a movie like Ram Gopal Varma.
Infact he gave but lacks a bit in logic.Anyways good entertainer!! You can watch once!

`Pattiyal`- Super hit in Kerala!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 05 April , 2006, 12:30

Vishnuvardhan�s Pattiyal is a super hit in Kerala. At Ernakulam Padma, the film has done Rs 4.04 Lakh net in the first two weeks which is fantastic. Remember that in Kerala only superstar Tamil films do well and off beat Tamil hits like Kathal and Thavamai Thavamirundhai were flops!
What seems to have worked for Pattiyal which was sold at throw away price in Kerala is its taut presentation, performance of lead actors and peppy music of Yuvan. The film is a huge hit in cities like Ernakulam, Trivandrum, Trichur and is likely to do business worth Rs 40 to 50 Lakhs from Kerala.

Meanwhile in Tamilnadu since there is no opposition, Pattiyal is making merry in B and C stations. At Coimbatore Archana it has taken a distributors share of Rs 11.5 Lakhs in two weeks, which is very good. Even in Dindigul a mere C station, the share is around Rs 4 Lakhs!

The way Pattiyal is making deep inroads in traditional mass movie superstar market has made the trade sit up and say-�Good films irrespective of star cast will make money�.

Vishnu's new plans
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, April 06, 2006]

Followed by back-to-back hits in Arindhum Ariyamalum and Pattiyal, director Vishnu Vardhan's stakes are high in Kollywood now. He has brought smiles on the face of producer Punnagai Poovae Geetha, who churned out both the films.

When everyone expected the duo to team up again for a hat-trick, it seems they have decided to be part ways.

Buzz is that Vishnu Vardhan has been approached by popular heroes. It includes the likes of Ajith and Vijay. Meanwhile, Punnagai Poovae Geetha is planning to produce a medium-budget movie with newcomers in the cast.

Vishnu Vardhan, who had returned from Thirupathi after the release of Pattiyal, is planning to take a brief interval break before commencing his next.

The news is also that Pattiyal has done well in Kerala. The reports from there suggest that the film is a major hit.

Pattiyal is at the first position for the fourth week in a row at the Chennai box-office. Close on its heels at second place is Underworld-2 and its Tamil dubbed version Pathala Manushyan. Shaadi Se Pehle has surprisingly taken a good opening (Sathyam net- Rs 7, 67,000) and is at third position. Sri Ramadasu the Telugu mythology is at Fourth place. At number five is Being Cyrus which continues to rock at Six degrees (weekend 100 percent!).

Guys,

sun tv is not boycotting pattiyal.

pattiyal is not given to TVs. because tamil film producers taken a decision that dont give the clippings,trailor to TVs.( all the channels did'nt get).

but today(apr 13 2006), tamil film producers makes the relationship with jeya tv. They are giving 3 mins clippings.

i think if they dont give the clippings, then they only affected. they can reduce the clippings size.

Pattiyal goes Telugu
April 18, 2006

Despite some Tamil new year releases Pattiyal is doing amazing business at box-office. The distributors and exhibitors are happy. Learning about the film�s hit, Telugu producers are eager to dub the film. Bharath is a popular hero after the success of Premisthe(Kadhal). Even his latest Azhagai Irukirai Bayamai Irukirathu too has been dubbed in Telugu. So, Pattiyal has also been dubbed into Telugu as Gayam. Pattiyal has Bharat, Arya, Pooja, Padmapriya playing the lead.

P.Kishore Babu is dubbing this film under Blue sky Entertainments banner. Recently the film�s press meet was held at Hyderabad. Actress Pooja participated and fascinated everybody. So, following Trisha, Jyothika and Nayantara will Pooja create waves in Tollywood? We can expect so.

I watched Pattiyal yesterday.What can I say..the movie is brutal,realistic and totally dark.I cant honestly say I loved the
movie.But the movie espcially disturbed me since apparantly this is not a rare occurrance in our country.Arya was
very good.It just didnt seem as though he was acting in the movie.He was totally casual and lived Kosi.Be it his addiction
to drinks or his irritation at saro being there at his place all times he made it believable.The suprise of the movie was
Barath def.A deaf and dumb person who is a gangster is not easy to play.This guy made it look so easy.I am not a fan of
Barath..but then again it was not barath in this movie but Selva who is a deaf and dumb gangster.
Def worth a watch.

I like how "THAROM" keps getting repeated in the background.

I also like the "POGA POGA BHOOMI" song.

The movie reminded me a lot of a Move called "City of God" ALso an excellent movie.
