Since Perarusu has his own thread, I decided to open one for Murugadoss. He is only directed three movies and all are blockbusters. Please use this thread to post your comments and update on his new movies.

From: Ghlli on Thu Apr 13 13:30:10 2006.

From: interz on Thu Apr 13 14:55:21 2006.

For the musiclovers Murugadas movies are treats, just think of: Sollamal thottu sellum, Vaana villae vaana villae, Suttrum vizhi chudare...
From: Ghlli on Thu Apr 13 15:40:07 2006.

ohhhh is he a MD?

From: interz on Thu Apr 13 16:46:22 2006.

NO he is a genious Director only but his movies got great songs, like in Shankar movies.
From: Ghlli on Thu Apr 13 16:49:18 2006.

oohh cn cn...i lyk ghajini!
From: Thirumaran on Thu Apr 13 16:53:09 2006.

My choice is Ramana..

From start to end that movie was good.

For Dheena and Ghajini i liked only the first half. The second half of those movies were dramatic.

ramana...who's film?
From: girishk14 on Thu Apr 13 20:04:22 2006.

He is so amazing. His first three movies are not only mega hits, they are all blockbusters which ran for 150+ days.
From: Surya on Thu Apr 13 20:05:09 2006.

Girish,
for the thread. I agree. ARM rocks!!
From: kidils on Thu Apr 13 20:24:16 2006.

his movies are good in places. but sometimes his movies look like random things stiched together. also he doesn't know how to integrate the songs properly into the plot. In ghajini the songs came out of nowhere. Also he should avoid so much violence.

Seriously, I don't think do..

Oru Maalai: He thinks of the girl's good characte

Suttum Vizhi: He expresses his feelings abouthe girl in the second diary

Rangola: The girl thinks about Surya and there is a fast paced song

X-Machi: Just for some performance

Rahathulla: Asin introduction( this song is a bit unrequired though)

From: Surya on Thu Apr 13 20:34:15 2006.

Those Plots demand the amount of Violence shown. I thought the songs were situated well in Gajini.
From: kidils on Thu Apr 13 20:39:08 2006.

violence can be shown without so much blood and gore... no?
From: Surya on Thu Apr 13 20:40:10 2006.

No, I dont' think so. I think for a fight scene to have an impact, it needs to be somewhat powerful. U can't have a powerful fight scene withough blood. That's my opinion.
From: kidils on Thu Apr 13 20:42:13 2006.

okey. I have counter argument, but its better for me to keep quiet.
From: Surya on Thu Apr 13 20:42:44 2006.

Why? That's why we have forums. To debate.
From: kidils on Thu Apr 13 20:44:26 2006.

well, i dont want to get involved in fights.
From: Surya on Thu Apr 13 20:46:45 2006.

Hmmm....Ok.
From: great on Thu Apr 13 20:49:36 2006.

ARM , is better than many directors .His screenplays are good
From: Surya on Thu Apr 13 20:50:07 2006.

I think he's good in all aspects.

Yeah, but the way he shapes the screenplay is awesome.

What is his next tamil movie? I hope he does one with Vikram...
From: terminator on Fri Apr 14 4:52:08 2006.

Girish for this A R Murugadoss thread.
From: girishk14 on Fri Apr 14 5:06:13 2006.

I really admire murugadoss. It is a great achievement for a director if all his first few movies are blockbusters...

Anyway, who was the music director for Dheena? (I forgot )
From: selvakumar on Fri Apr 14 5:08:00 2006.

ARM is currently doing StaLin with chiru in Telugu.

It might eat up more time. Probably the whole year 2006.

AFter that, He might do a movie with Ajith / vijay .

We read several news which mentioned these actors.

Reg the vikram news, I haven't read that one. If anyone has it, post that one here.
From: swathy on Fri Apr 14 5:09:01 2006.

girish : yuvan shankar raja
From: bingleguy on Fri Apr 14 5:13:07 2006.

Good Goin Doss !
From: selvakumar on Fri Apr 14 5:18:34 2006.

My pick would be Dheena ! I would always remember this movie for STARTING THALAISM

The scene in which Thala takes out the sword from his back and other accessories was awesome !

Then RAMANA (a movie in which ARM put a BANDAID on the mouth of VK )

GAJINI - wow.. excellant performance from Surya. Without much expectation, I went to this movie for X-MACHI song

But Overall a good movie.

Director A.R.Murugadoss needs no introduction. He has got a hat trick of hits with the success of his latest film �Ghajini�. His earlier films �Dheena� and �Ramanna� were also hits. Now, all the top banners and superstars want to work with him. He has a unique style of narrating the story and packaging it to suit the tastes of the audience. Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi has recently signed his film titled �Stalin�. The winning director speaks about his film and more.

Excerpts from the Interview:

Could you tell us something about yourself?

I come from a remote place called Kalaikurichi in Salem District. I did my college in Tiruchi. I had the skill of narrating good stories since childhood. I used to tell scene-by-scene story of the films I watched to my friends. This hobby of mine helped me a lot when I came to Chennai and worked with directors and writers like Kalaimani, Praveenkanth and Uday Shankar.

What is the secret of your success?

To tell you the truth, there is no secret to success as such. I start working on a project only when an interesting subject with social relevance comes my way. Then I try to package it to attract the audience. Casts, music and gloss are very much a part of a film�s success.

Is it true that your script makes all the difference?

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I strongly believe that a well-written script is behind the success of any film anywhere. Actors can make a good opening but it is the content that determines the success of a film.

What do you say about the violence and blood that ruled your last three films?

Is it possible to narrate a story without using violence? It is impossible, as there is so much of violence taking in our society. Even the recent earthquake in Pakistan is a kind of nature�s violence. Yes, I do use violence in my films, but within the limits set by the censors.

What do you say on the criticism for showing villain in a double role in �Ghajini�?

The effect would not have been the same if the villain were not shown as twins. A twin brother was created for the villain to make the character a complex one. The Matrix like effect has indeed made the climax of the film great.

Has �The Memento� inspired you in any way?

The concept of �The Memento� is interesting indeed. I created a character like that of Sanjay Ramasamy, but it was changed to suit the Tamil audience.

How would you rate Surya and Asin�s performance in �Ghajini�?

Both of them were great. Their-on-screen chemistry has indeed helped the film in the first half.

Tell us something about your future plans.

I am on the verge of completing the script of my Telugu film �Stalin�, which has Chiranjeevi in the lead. I will think about my next project in Tamil only after completing my work on �Stalin�.

A.R.Murugadoss : Ajith or Rajini?

Muragadoss directed Ghajini has become a runaway hit. The chance had first gone to Ajith for the lead role, who had turned it down for various compelling reasons at that time. Ajith now after watching the movie seems to have regretted at losing the chance. He is said to have conveyed his wish to act again with the director.Murugadoss who is now busy with Chiranjeevi�s Stalin also seems to be interested in the proposal. Murugadoss started his stint in Kollywood with an Ajith movie, Dheena. Its worth mentioning that Rajinikanth had also expressed his wish to work with Murugadoss. Who will it be next, Ajith or Rajinikanth?

Any director is better than perarasu....of cause Murugadoss is better than him...and also a director who adds a different dimension in terms of screenplay to masala stories...dheena and ghajini for example.
From: cancer on Tue Apr 25 0:57:14 2006.

Ar Muruga dhas 3 Movies are good.

Dheena excellant movie,given New avatar and new name (Thala) to Ajith,

For screenply Ramana better than other 2.
From: girishk14 on Tue Apr 25 3:31:37 2006.

I heard that all three are blockbusters.

Can anyone post an exact account on how many days each movie ran....?

According to CBO results, which movie was the most successful?

When did Murugadas become a prodigy he is a decent and upcoming director, far better than trash directors like Perarasu.

Ramana is the pick of the lot defenitely for the way the movie ended

BTW, somebody please tell him not to use Windows Media Player in his next movie

What is wrong with WIndows Media Player?

No nothing wrong with WMP as it is.

Remember Ramana? Captain scans the details of the 15 oozhal candidates ? I was thinking 'ivlo selavu panni padam edukkaraanga, namba mudiyama stunt podranga, andha scene'la WMP'nu kandupidikkadhapadi pannirukkalaame'nu thonichu.

Looks as a sloppy work for such a big budget movie.
