Cheran is decent performer. He can do justice to given Charactors. Eg :- Solla marandha kadhai and Raaman thediya seedhai . These two movies are also close to my heart .
My top list cheran movies ( both as actor and director)
1. Autograph - memories not be forgotten
2. Thavamaai thavamirundhu - paasam
3. DhEsiyageedham - changes to be made
4. Porkaalam - udambil ulla kuraigal ellaam oonamilleeengO
5. Paandavar bhoomi - mini autograph
6. Vetrikodi kattu - velinaatu panamOgaththil kuruttuththanamaai yEmaaraadhE
7. Solla marandha kadhai - ego vEndaam
8. Raaman thEdiya seedhai - Vaazhkkai vaazhvadharkE
9. Bharathi kannamma

Anban,
[This is a proposition I have in general with regard to people's criticism about Cheran's acting in his own or others' films. So I'm just picking on your post to give it the right context. Hope you wouldn't mind.]
I fail to understand people's grouse about Cheran acting in films. Many ask, why? Well, why not? He does mess up quite a bit in the emotionally charged scenes of his films, but surely he doesn't chew the scenery in all the films he acts in? He's quite competent for instance in 'pirivOm santhippOm.' There are several other actors in Tamil cinema, most of whom would either fall in the same ballpark as Cheran or in a much worse league, but we don't seem to harbour this sort of grouse with them.
To put it bluntly, I think the root cause behind this complaint is his everyman looks. At some level, there's a "wait, this was not supposed to be your domain" reaction we show towards actors like Cheran.

EQ,
Ur point is well taken.. But My grouse is, Cheran is showing off the same character and attitude in all of his movies.. It is becoming a stereotype..
ofcourse there are many masala stereotypes in Tamil cinema..
Cheran is a quality director.. he himself has complained that he became an actor when he was left with no other option.. Now he has a FIXED image as an actor.. thats not good for the director that he is..

I am big fan of Cheran too. My concern is that, ever since he started acting, his creativity has narrowed down to stories where only he can play the lead role, which is a big limitation. I am sure, if he had not been successfull with his acting, he would have surely casted someone else for an urban story like Maayakkannaadi (even then it would have failed!!).
I also have expectation for Pokkisham. Hope he can deliver.

Omega,
Do you mean to say the lead roles in his earlier films (bArathi kaNNammA, poRkAlam, thEsiya gItham, veRRikkodi kattu, pANdavar bUmi) were actually "outside" what he could have played? Au contraire, I think he could have easily placed himself in any of these films and they would have been no different. (In fact, all these roles look quite the same to me! But that's for another day.)

This might be true, but doesn't explain why people don't want him to act at all.

Ok. Perhaps that only means he needs to widen his horizon as an actor by taking up a wide range of roles (even if all of them are "everyman" in an overarching sense)? I thought his presence in pirivOm santhippOm was much more relaxed than his previous outings.

glad that someone started a thread for this one.
He was making message movies one time - since paandavar bhoomi - started settling into making somewhat subtler and dignified films. The thing I like about his movies are the 'sentiments' . He does not make them like 'P Vasu' sentiment films, but more like 'Bheemsingh' school of sentiment films. The sentiments are the foundation and the realistic crafting of the characters and subtle portrayals play out while the focus is always on the 'foundation' and a touching climax. Even the mediocre maayakannadi had a somewhat touching climax - if you leave out the lenght sermon at the end. Vetri Kodi kattu too had the lengthy sermon at the end. I watched that one with my friend who had made it big in dubai and he enjoyed every bit of it. his movies are like Visu's Arattai Arangam while a lesser director would have made the very same subject as Vijaya TR's arattai arangam!!

Ha, that's a very interesting way to put it, Jaiganes! My problem with Cheran's films is not as much with their sentimentalism as their moralism. He's such a straight-shooting moralist that he designs his entire film to meet those ends. In this light, I think someone like a Thangar Bachaan is actually better than Cheran. The former has at least his "storytelling instincts" in place.

In fact, after having been put through paLLikkoodam, I will object to Thankar and 'respect' being used in the same sentence.

Ok, my comment achieved its purpose! Yes, I mean exactly in this one respect. I've to admit I've not seen any of his recent films (saw a few scenes from 'paLLikkUdam' on local cable). Even 'azhagi', I've seen only parts of it when it was shown on television. (That is, I didn't see it when it was in the theatres and haven't seen it since in one sitting. In fact, 'thenRal' is the only film of his that I've seen in one sitting and that was on thiruttu cable too.) The main point I am trying to make is about his inclination in showing characters that are flawed in some ways or in depicting real conflicts between his characters and so on, even if all that doesn't add to much.

I dont know if someone being such a straight shooting moralist is something wrong. If i choose to avoid colour grey - will my paintings cease to be paintings?
Every person has his own perspective. Cheran's perspective might not be complete 360 degree - it is his ability to tell you a story from his perspective and hold you(not you the person equanimus - in collective sense) in the theatre for the running length of a movie. He seems to enjoy the kind of perspective of an average thamizhan and seems to present it with ease and I guess that is what counts. The 'greyer' shades of character et al - we can discuss about it when he decides to make movies for international circuit. He seems to be content at telling his own 'morally correct' stories and from my perspective I am happy with that. If I want shades of grey - there are Balas, Ameers willing to provide that.

Pokkisham takes on Kathaswamy?
By Moviebuzz *|*Friday, 07 August , 2009, 06:18
*
Producer Hitesh Jabak, has decided to be bold and daring.
He has decided to release his eagerly awaited Cheran’s Pokkisham on Aug 14, for the Independence Day weekend.
The film is to be censored on August 8, and publicity campaign will start immediately.
It clearly means that Pokkisham will clash with Vikram’s big budget Susi Ganeshan directed Kalaipuli S.Dhanu produced extravaganzaKanthaswamy releasing on August 15!
For Cheran it is a very important film, coming after that colossal flop Mayakannadi. The film has Cheran and Padmapriya as lovers, with very good music by Sabesh Murali.
Cheran in an interview has stated that Pokkisham revolves around a very special letter that the hero cherishes.
Says Cheran: “ It’s a simple love story set in the 1970s, when there were no cell phones, SMS’s or e-mails. Writing letters was the best way to express love by two people separated by many miles.”

However, Mysskin accepted the inspiration and has given credits to the film maker of Kukijiro in title card

And the insider word is that the movie is AWESOME!! my hope is that he would easily better autograph in the movie and I am excited because of the period reference too!! Sabesh Murali also have done good songs consistently for good movies. All in all it is a movie I expect very eagerly!!!!

You are right. I listened to the OST of Kikujiro. Stunning! Soul stirring.
I would be really really happy if Myshkin releases the OST for this music after the release. That would be really great. This would be a compensation for not picturising the songs
ethanai songs irukku movie'la? two?
I have read Timeline by Crichton. Time travel, archeology students, 4th century (IIRC) etc. But I heard the movie version was horrendous.
That is exactly the story line of AO. Guess Andrea is the student here. Modhalla Timeline download pannanum
atleast the ebook
Coming back to Pokkisham, knowing Cheran, I don't think he would have copied "The classic".
Irrkkalam.
Even though the one liner looks similar, i.e a letter that evokes pleasant memory, etc, this could be an inspiration. Let's wait

Same feelings. Pokkisham is about some 70s fella who does a Kadhal Kottai type love. I don't have expectations on this one even if it is a rip-off of Classic.
Timeline and AO? Quite possible. Read the e-book in bits and friends clarified me the rest. vada pOchA?

Scruffy hair and a big beard almost cover his face. But with Cheran you can expect the unexpected. “No, this is not for any film,” he hastens to add, seeing the puzzled look on my face. And instead of elaborating on the change of look, he chooses to discuss Pokkisham, his upcoming film. Coming from a person who has proved his acting and directorial skills time and again, this film too has created a buzz in tinselville.
So first things first. “Pokkisham revolves around a very special letter that the protagonist cherishes. There are no dramatic twists and turns. It’s a simple love story set in the 1970s, when there were no cell phones, SMSs or emails. Writing letters was the best way to express love by two people separated by many miles. Love blossoms and is nurtured through letters.”
The comparisons with Cheran’s famed work Autograph are inevitable. But the director assures, “It’s different from all my other films. I wouldn’t like to draw elements from my previous works. As an actor, I’ve done what director Cheran wanted me to do.”
Being a period film, Cheran gets excited when he speaks about the backdrop. “Since it’s a throwback to the Seventies, I had to take care to present the right ambience. It was a team effort involving the art director, costume designer, make-up artist and cameraman. When we thought of a hospital scene, what was predominant on our minds was director Sridhar’s Nenjil Or Aalayam. We looked around, and found one in Gobichettipalayam. Of course, we had to work on it to get the desired look. A chunk of the time went on perfecting the period look of the film. Art director Vairabalan, make-up man Sasi, costumer Sai and cameraman Rajesh Yadav worked overtime to get everything right. That explains why the film’s release got delayed.”
As the conversation veers to his impeccable box office record barring Mayakannadi, which flopped, he pauses and then goes on to explain, “Actually, the cash registers are not usually reflective of the pluses or minuses of the filmmaker. I did not find anything wrong with the film. I was keen on mirroring the life of today’s youth. Probably it didn’t work because my portrayal was a bit raw — there was nothing candyfloss about it. But my films are a sincere depiction. It’s honesty that matters to me. I work hard to get that across.”
Talk about music directors Sabesh-Murali with whom he shares a special rapport, and he says, “I struck a positive chord with them from the beginning. Our wavelengths match, so it’s a hassle free working partnership. I cannot go to other popular composers and wait to get them to work for my film. Besides, budget constraints are there.”
About Padmapriya who plays the female lead in this film too, Cheran chuckles, “How can you forget her performance in Thavamai Thavamirundhu? When the screenplay for Pokkisham was ready,
the first artist who came to my mind was Tamannaah. But she was busy, and didn’t have the dates. Padmapriya struck me as someone who knew the nuances of acting pretty well. And she’s done a good job.”
Ask him why he always plays lead roles in his films, and the response is quick: “Because big stars don’t want to be part of such stories. If popular actors agree to do my films, I would have probably had more time and energy to work on a bigger canvas. But that’s okay. As a combination, Cheran the actor and Cheran the director are capable of delivering good films for the family audience. And producers too understand that.”
Pokkisham in a box!

‘Pokkisham’ turns Censor board emotional!
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, August 12, 2009]
Cheran’s ‘Pokkisham’ cleared the Censors by a clean 'U' certificate without any cuts. The preview show of the film happened in Chennai Four Frames Preview Theater recently. During the second half of the movie, most of the VIPs who attended the show appeared to be in tears. Birdies said that everyone was moved by the narrative. The movie guarantees to give a break from the usual masala films. From story to screenplay, everything about the movie has nuances of freshness.
Sources also revealed that the movie involves a novel way of concluding the story, something never seen before in any Tamil movies. With so much of wishes and applauds from the Censor panel ‘Pokkisham’ is ready to hit the floors soon. As said earlier by Cheran, ‘Pokkisham’ is about a special compilation of love letters that the hero treasures. It is a naive love story set in the 1970s where the lovers are separated by many miles. Booking of ‘Pokkisham’ opens today with 130 screens across Tamil Nadu!
With a bit of luck, audience can look ahead for another ‘Autograph’ from Cheran!

If anything, its Sabesh-Murali's music and re-recording that plays spoil-sport, not to mention the dialogues themselves, which tend to be a tad too long-winded.
Pure romance might be a bit difficult to swallow for commercial movie-buffs but if you let yourself adjust to the pace, Pokkisham is certainly worth a watch.
Sify!

All we end up is some homily about old fashioned virtues of love. In today’s fast moving life, in a world of instant communication the
viewers will be baffled and bored with the lead characters love letter writing and the trouble they undertook.
The film somehow fails to connect; with today’s viewers as the makers are still living in an age of trunk calls and snail mail!
What they expect??SMS,Bluetooth,3G calls in the 70s?? My mum still keeps all the postcards/letters from my dad

No TT was long and some parts were slow... but it was not boring... it had a mix of comedy, romance, sentiment, etc... with a college episode also...
moreover TT songs were so good and famous and were equally good to watch on screen...
but the comments i hear abt Pokkisham kinda tests ur patience eventhough u go prepared for it...

Do the reactions hurt you?
Honestly, no. If there are 500 people who have not understood what I made and criticise it but at least 50 who say it is excellent, then that is enough for me.
What was the inspiration behind the story?
I have written many letters to my mother, my lover and my sisters. I have kept all those letters safely with me. There are many like me who have kept such letters as treasures, and I made the film for such people. Even if you cannot meet those close to you, if you go through what they have written, you may feel close to them. That is their Pokkisham. The treasure I have is the inspiration behind the film.

Mild inspiration-nu venumna sollalam.
ya cheran changed sme scenes to suit tamil audience nd he added songs...but the story is same...u cant directly copy into tamil, since its a korean movie
As LM says, I would say that it's a mild inspiration. Coincidence'a kooda irukkalam!

It has been a day since viewing the film and I'm still a little bothered by it. Not in a ' after ThavamAi Thavamirinthu I suddenly want to build a Taj Mahal for my father it bothered me' kind of way. Pokkisham to me just underlines that despite the best intentions and the greatest attention to detail, one can fall short. And from the standpoint of the creator that can be quite disturbing.
Upon exiting the screening my uncle said this should have been a book. While he meant "if it were a book I would have promptly returned it to the shelf and dozed off" I held a different opinion. What made him feel that is a curiosity specific to thamizh. The significant difference between the written script and how it is spoken colloquially. It isn't so much all the talking but the fact that they occur as individual monologues in chaste thamizh that seems to engender a great lack of patience. ChEran was fighting a linguistic phenomenon. Unfortunately he didn't know it.

That sounds interesting, I will watch the movie

It is probably the sort of pre-engineered lob question that he laps up. The word by itself, 'love' that is, is wrought with enough complications. In addition to playing fast and loose with the term when compared to our western counterparts, we insist on adding qualifiers like 'casual' and 'pure' to it. It is a meme that just completely baffles me.

I remember Statistics class in my second year when the teacher used to dictate notes (don't even ask !).
Due to a typo inspired unintended philosophical tangent, we all briefly believed that regression helped measure the direction of the casual relationship between two variables.

Co-brother is a very Indian word. If I am right it is not even used in North India. Purists actually frown upon the usage. We can ask them to buzz off because the word reflects our approach to the whole relationship. Cheran maadhiri, namma uRavugaLai ninaichu naamaLE poorichukkaNum.
Another one is about purists reject the very Indian usage cousin-brother and would rather dump under the gender free and distant cousin. I argue we should resist and continue with our usage which is better indicative of the proximity in the relationship.
First day in UKG in a new school where teachers get paly with parents, my mother gets all worked up by the "personalized attention" and makes a big deal to the teachers about of me being an only child. Second day. In the regular 'My family' intro, I list more 'brothers and sisters' than I knew to count perplexing the teacher. They had to run an id check.

Chiyaan Vikram’s Kandasamy has taken a super opening, netting Rs 1.04 crore from 18 screens.
At number two is Kaminey, which continues to be red hot. In third position is Pokkisham, which has taken a beating. And in fourth place is the old favourite Nadodigal. Malai Malai finishes fifth.
Kandasamy
Cast: Vikram, Shriya, Krishna, Ashish Vidyarthi, Vadivel
Director: Susi Ganeshan
Vikram, technically sound
Nothing new story wise, too lengthy
BO verdict : Super opening
Kaminey
Cast: Shahid Kapoor,Priyanka Chopra,Sweety Amol Gupte,Sunil Shekhar Bhope
Director: Vishal Bhardwaj
Style, performances, songs
Violence
BO verdict : Super hit
Pokkisham
Cast: Cheran, Padmapriya, Vijayakumar
Director: Cheran
Technically brilliant
Slow, melodramatic, lengthy
BO verdict : Flop

The first one hour or so is extremely boring and highly amateurish. The next one hour is superb(relatively perhaps). Starting from the 3 days mouna viradham to the trunk call to the cheran-karaikkal episode to the ponnu pAthufying to the "tuwist". But after the tuwist it goes downhill again. The next one hour is extremely difficult to watch. Loved the very last scene though (Nadheera's last, unwritten letter). Great art direction, decent BGM. Dialogues, actually the letters were extremely well written. But compli annan sonna maadhiri chEran has faltered in the execution. Supporting characters-kku importance-E kudukkalai.
Cheran's son was OK, the girlfriend was highly annoying. Cheran nadikkiRathai pArthA paavamaa irukku. Padmapriya hype panna aLavukku perisA onnum nadikalai. Overall below average but much much better than mayakkaNNAdi.

If you are talking about Kaaja Moiddeen "attempted" suicide (adhuve sarchaikkuriya vishayam) not because of Kamal. He was already in deep crap at the time of signing VV. He ran into some problems because of Puratchi Kalaignar's Perarasu and other things.
After that, a press conference was called when a sheepishly smiling

a
c-be,
I don't think Kamal can be absolved totally, as there is something called interest, you pay 3 crores to kamal ,and the film is not started one year later, you calculate the interest.
And what about alavandan? and anbe sivam? and pammal k sammandham where rama narayanan is on record stating he lost money ?
And why is AVM and kavithalaya not making any movies with kamal yet they are running after Rajni?
The unfortunate fact is not many of Kamal's films in the 90s made money ,after he became a film maker as opposed to an actor

abbydoss,
There is something called a brain and you certainly dont seem to have even an iota of it
either that or you have your head stuck up somewhere for a long while and you are caught in a warp.
1. VV was not delayed because of Kamal. Drill it into your head that it was Kamal who was frustrated because of the delays and not the other way round. you have the cause and effect totally mixed up. Do you have any freakin clue as to what happened? do you know about Kaaja's other problems? Onnume theriyama public forumla edhukku nee ellam pesara?
2. What about Alavandhaan? What about it? Is that the first opr only movie to flop in Tamil?
Anbe Sivam - FYI, Kamal did not even take the full salary for Anbe Sivam. the producer of the film said this
3. Kavithalaya
you are a wicked joker!
4. PKS - Was an average grosser and again, P.L Thenappan pathi ungalukku oru m-um theriyadhu, so the best option for you is to shut up with immediate effect.
Abbydoss,
So, all the producers who made films with Kamal after the 90s are fools! they are fools to have him as the 2nd highest paid Tamil actor after Rajini.
Indian, Thenali, VV, Dasavatharam - Blockbusters with 10A being the highest grossing Tamil film of all time
Avvai Shanmugi - Superhit
Virumaandi, VR MBBS - Hit
PKS, PT - Average
Hey Ram, Alavandhaan, Anbe Sivam, MX - Flops
So, innum asingama thittu vaangaradhukkulla odippoiru!

En Kadamai:
All the points are from my memory -- no datasheets to prove:
1) VV & Perarasu were started more or less at the same time: I have some pics of VK attending VV opening ceremony
2) After solving all the problems, VV was sold to 7th channel, where as Perarasu was still released by kaja's Roja combines
3) VV did good - gr8 business & Perarasu was also a Hit
4) Just before these 2 KM produced Ajith's Jana & also have read tht, he had some issues in his marriage life with Aamni
5) So, Perarasu cannot be the problem as it was done by a new director with a very average budget compared to VV & Gautham's standards
------------------------------------
Want to clear one more issue:
6) Many wud think that "sokkathangam" ended GV's life.. but, the last film before Sokkathangam was "Thamizan" wit Vijay. The female lead was done by, then "uzhaga azhagi" Priyanka Chopra
7) Again, Sokkathangam is a typical K Baghyaraj village subject.. & u cannot expect that to be shot in a sky high budget

More to say about Captain:
1) everyone will accept that his expensive make was "Captain Prabhakaran" ... I am right that, it was produced by both Captain & Ibrahim Ravuthar -- his best buddy, then.
2) Then Pulan Visaranai, also by them
3) later some high budgets like Vallarasu, Narasimma, Arasangam etc. were produced under Captain Cine Creations
4) Even if a VK films suffers loss.. it won't take the life of te producer .. unless he has some other debts like Engal aasan producer
5) Some of his works under other producers were Vanathai Pola, Kannu Pada pogudhayya, Simmasanam kind of stuffs
6) Even his police films will revolve in & around chennai.. maximum delli varaikkum poyi onnu rendu shot eduthuttu vandhu settula merge panniduvanga
7) In his old interview.. he accepted that "Simmasanam" is not going well with A centre audience.. but told that reports were good from B & C... which means.. some of his duds (as we all think). .might have recovered some amount in B & C in initial or re-run
8) Reg: re-run.. innaikkum oorukkula (TN) poyi partheenganna edhavadhu oru VK-oda pazhaya padam Odikittu irukkum

Pokkisham - Treasurable moments
By Behindwoods Visitor Arun
The views expressed in this column is that of the visitor. Behindwoods.com doesn't hold responsible for its content.
I watched Pokkisham recently and quite did not agree with Behindwoods review perhaps for the first time. The movie is quiet good. Before I write about the positives in the movie I would like to point out the negatives also in the film.
1. Make-up of old aged Padmapriya -- could have been better.
2. Cheran's emotions --could have been better in some scenes or to be frank he has been outclassed by Padmapriya
Apart from this, the pace of the movie is rightly set and those who comment about the movie should remember that a baby is not born the day after a couple get married neither does a child become an adult in a year. After the trimming of the movie, I found no unnecessary scenes in the name of crass comedy or scenes with double meaning. Cheran has narrated a dignified love story in a dignified manner. And Padmapriya has done a fabulous, marvelous, brilliant, lovable job. Body language, the speaking eyes which showcase the fear, the anticipation and the smile.... What more to say??? Glamorous heroines can better take notes of lessons from Padma. No
Pokkisham
one would come out watching the movie without admiring her character. Simply Wow!!! The scene where they pray in their house and she thinks of Cheran and the scene where she puts a "pottu" on her forehead and looks into the mirror is really nostalgic. Rajesh also has done quiet a good job and also Padma's friend. The dialogues are amazing and hard hitting more so because they have Tamil literature woven into them. Cheran's desperation after he loses track of his lovers hit your heartstrings but how many youths today have the same sincerity and respect towards love???
Cheran has driven home a strong message to today's ultra modern lovers about what is true love and it was a delight to watch the 70's not only the streets and outdoors but also the attitude and behavior of our elders (both good and bad) in those days. And the climax where Nadheera speaks to Lenin's wife and says "God has indeed given a better wife than me to Lenin" really exalts women to a great height and I felt there are many more such women alive even today: wives who are so sacrificial and many more Nadheeras who have never been able to speak their heart out because of the so called culture driven and male dominated society. Hats of to Cheran Sir for depicting women the way they are: "honorable and adorable". Finally I would like to say that I felt very happy watching the movie and definitely it has its moments which are treasurable.
And to the critics and reviewers, it is my humble request not to rub off a movie like Pokkisham and please be dignified in reviews. It hurts me as a viewer when commercial movies are adorned and lavishly praised and the same critics are harsh in their review of movies with good content. How much more will it hurt the creator of the movie? I am not a big Cheran fan by saying this but a fan of good movies which make Tamil cinema proud! Even Vaaranam Aayiram was criticized initially but it managed to stay afloat and won a million hearts due to the magical music. I sincerely wish Pokkisham also proves the critics wrong and goes on to be a box office hit.
I would be proud if Cheran sir happens to read this because I somehow want to congratulate him for this good movie and if he reads this, it would be more than enough.
Hats off Cheran sir!!! Keep the good work going!
Best Regards,
Arun,
