Tamil Film Director Bala’s next project with Vishal and Aarya
Perhaps, this is an unexpected surprise for both Vishal and Aarya. It’s a well known fact that director Bala’s films would be a long term project with a tragic climax.
But this time, Bala has promised Vishal and Aarya that he will complete the project within a span of six months. Unlike his previous films ‘Sethu’, ‘Nanda’, ‘Pithamaghan’ and ‘Naan Kadavul’, this untitled film will be a full-length comedy entertainer.
Closer sources have revealed that Bala and his assistant have been travelling across various parts of Tamil Nadu for finalizing locations. As well, he is looking out for newcomers to enact the female lead roles and other prominent characters.
If what we heard from the sources is believed to be true, then Bala will start shooting this film by January and release the film for Diwali 2010.
Kalapathy S Agoram is producing the film under the banner of AGS Entertainment.

Sneak peek into probable story for Bala's next
Go Bala go, fingers crossed for this epic movie which would restructure the landscape of tamil and world cinemaBala known for his hard hitting raw movies that brings out the viewpoint of the "neglected" is all set to scale a new high with his next venture starring Visha and Arya. Film is planned to be set in a poultry farm amidst the scary jungles of sathyamangalam with a never heard before storyline. The narration highlights the unhygenic poultry, a badly maintained one and the torture that chickens undergo in last days of their lives, taking cue from Darles chickens stories. Enters the hero, ex-conman of famous smuggler Veerappan. After Veerappan's assasination by govt, our hero, who grew in Veerappan's shelter all his life is orphaned. A extraordinarily strong yet silent man, moves in search of food and gets the love and affection of Poultry owners' daughter. He later befriends a happy-go lucky chicken distributor, whose only aim in life seems to be transporting his chicken to chennai one day. the narration gradually increases the tempo on the atrocities and tortures of Poultry owner on chickens. Expect a lot of throat slitting scenes, ofcourse, involving chickens. Hero develops a sympathy for these chickens and becomes a vegetarian. Rest of story is about how hero tries to save the chickens from this extreme exploitation and a shocking climax where hero is forced by villains to eat biryani made by killing his pet chicken.
SUch a intricate story on lives of a domestic animal is never seen before in world cinema right from Tarantino to Kurosawa. This story has raised lot of expectations amongst tamil film circles and they feel this is their answer to world movies including Hollywood. Music to this movie is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. When queried on why multiple academy award winner Rahman was not prefferd, Bala says "Rahman's music wont suit my movies". its well known that Rahman prefers Mutton biryani and since this movie is about chicken biryani, Yuvan would rather be a better choice. Rest of the Naan Kadavul crew are set to take their positions in this "yet to be named" film.

Recently, S. Ramakrishnan's docu (story, screenplay & dialogue) " Karna Motcham ", directed by Murali Manohar, won national award for best docu. It has also bagged more than 20 national & international awards including 3 state awards.

If both these are true, the navarasam will be interesting to watch. But the onaan thingi will be hilarious. Actually I have not found a single unintentionally funny moment in Bala's films thus far. Siththan, Enge sellum indha paadhai and Surya's eccentricity in Nandha would have been hilarious under other directors, but Bala Originally Posted by Sourav

Before he starts another venture, he should "pay off" some artists he owes!
----------
டைரக்டர் பாலா மீது
சங்கீத வித்வான் கோபம்!
இயக்கத்துக்காக பாலாவுக்கு தேசிய விருது வாங்கிக் கொடுத்த படம் ‘நான் கடவுள்’. Krishnamoorthyமாற்றுத் திறனாளிகளை இந்த சமூகம் எப்படிப் பார்க்கிறது... அவர்கள் எப்படி கொடுமைப்படுத்தப்படுகிறார்கள் என்பது பற்றியெல்லாம் கண்களில் நீர் வழிய காட்சிப்படுத்தி தன்னுடைய ‘நான் கடவுள்’ படத்தின் மூலம் அதிர்வுகளை ஏற்படுத்தினார் இயக்குனர் பாலா.
அந்தப் படத்தில் கடைசி வரை பேசாமலேயே இருக்கும் ‘மௌன சாமியார்’ பாத்திரத்தில் நடித்தார் கோவை வடவள்ளியைச் சேர்ந்த கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி என்பவர்.
படம் வெளிவந்து வெற்றிகரமாக ஓடி, தேசிய விருதுகளும் பெற்று, மிகத் தாமதமாக இப்போது வாய் திறந்திருக்கிறார் அந்த மௌன சாமியார்.
‘‘மாற்று திறனாளிகளை மதிக்க வேண்டும் என்று படத்தில் மெசேஜ் சொல்லிய இயக்குனர் பாலா... இன்றுவரை எனது சம்பளப் பணத்தைக் கொடுக்கவில்லை’’ என்பதுதான் மௌன சாமியார் கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தியின் கண்ணீர் வார்த்தைகள்.
கோவை அண்ணா நகரில் வசித்து வரும் கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தியை அவருடைய வீட்டில் சந்தித்தோம். தவழ்ந்தே நம்மை வரவேற்ற கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தியின் அறை முழுவதும் விருதுகளும், மெடல்களும் நிறைந்திருந்தன.
2007-ம் ஆண்டு குடியரசு தலைவர் அப்துல்கலாம், கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தியை டெல்லிக்கு அழைத்து குடியரசு தலைவர் மாளிகையில் நடந்த விழாவில் பாட வைத்து கௌரவப்படுத்திய புகைப்படத்தை நம்மிடம் காட்டியபடி பேச ஆரம்பித்தார் 65 வயதான கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி.
‘‘என் அப்பா, அம்மாவுக்கு ஐந்தாவதாக பிறந்தவன் நான். பிறக்கும்போதே இரண்டு கைகளும், இடுப்புக்கு கீழ் உடல் உறுப்புகளும் இல்லாமலே பிறந்தேன். சிறு வயதில் இருந்தே என் அண்ணன் ராஜகோபால்தான் என்னை கரிசனத்துடன் பார்த்துக் கொண்டார். இன்றும் அவருடன்தான் வாழ்ந்து வருகிறேன்.
என் பெற்றோரும் சகோதர, சகோதரிகளும் என்னை தன்னம்பிக்கையுடன் வளர்த்தனர். பள்ளிக்குச் செல்ல முடியாததால், வீட்டில் இருந்தபடியே பன்னிரெண்டாம் வகுப்பு வரை படித்தேன். சின்ன வயதிலிருந்தே பாட்டு மேல் ஈர்ப்பு... அதனால் பாட்டு கற்றேன். அதன்பிறகு பல கச்சேரிகளில் கலந்துகொண்டு பாடல்கள் பாடி, எனது வருமானத்தை நானே தேடிக்கொண்டேன்.
இதுவரை இரண்டாயிரத்து ஐநூறு மேடைகளில் பாடி இந்தியா முழுவதும் சுற்றி வந்திருக்கிறேன். மலேசியா போன்ற நாடுகளிலும் கச்சேரி நடத்தியிருக்கிறேன். அதுமட்டுமல்லாமல், குழந்தைகளுக்கு பாட்டு கிளாஸ் எடுத்து வருகிறேன் என்றவர், ‘நான் கடவுள்’ பட வாய்ப்பு பற்றி கூறினார்.
‘‘ஒருமுறை நான் தேர்தலில் ஓட்டு போடச் சென்றபோது பத்திரிகையாளர்கள் என்னை படம் பிடித்து பேப்பரில் வெளியிட்டனர். அதைப் பார்த்துவிட்டு இயக்குனர் பாலாவின் அலுவலகத்தில் இருந்து என்னைத் தேடி வந்தார்கள். ‘பாலா எடுக்க இருக்கும் புதிய சினிமாவில் முக்கிய கதாபாத்திரத்தில் நீங்கள் நடிக்கணும். அதற்காக ஒரு லட்சம் ரூபாய் சம்பளமாகத் தருகிறோம்’ என்று கூறினர். பினனர் இயக்குநர் பாலாவும் என்னைத் தொடர்புகொண்டு கதாபாத்திரத்தை விளக்கினார்.
அவருடைய படங்கள் சிறந்தவை என்று என்னுடைய அண்ணன் குழந்தைகள் கூறினார்கள். நானும், நடித்துதான் பார்க்கலாமே, அதன்மூலம் என்னைப் போன்றவர்களுக்கு ஒரு தன்னம்பிக்கை ஏற்படுமே என்ற நோக்கத்தில் ‘நான் கடவுள்’ படத்தில் நடிக்க சம்மதித்தேந்.
முதலில் அட்வான்சாக 15 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் கொடுத்தார்கள். மூன்று வருடங்களுக்கு அக்ரிமெண்ட் போட்டவர்கள், படம் முடியும் வரை படத்தை பற்றி யாரிடமும் கூறக்கூடாது, பத்திரிகைகளுக்கு பேட்டி கொடுக்கக்கூடாது, என்னுடைய புகைப்படங்கள் எதுவும் வெளிவரக்கூடாது என்று பல கண்டிஷன்கள் போட்டார்கள். அனைத்தையும் ஒப்புக்கொண்டு நடிக்கத் தயாரானேன்.
தேனி மாவட்டம், பெரியகுளம் மலைப் பகுதியில் ஷ¨ட்டிங் நடந்தது. கரடு முரடான மலைப்பகுதியில் என்னுடைய உதவியாளர் என்னைத் தூக்கிக்கொண்டு செல்வார். மூன்று வருடங்களில் ஒரு சில நாட்கள் மட்டுமே என்னை வைத்து படப்பிடிப்பு நடத்தினார்கள். படத்தில் என்னைப் போன்றவர்களும், மன வளர்ச்சி குன்றியவர்களும், குழந்தைகளும் நூற்றுக்கணக்கானவர்கள் நடித்தனர். மூன்று வருடங்கள் முடிந்து, படமும் வெளிவந்தது. ஆனால், எனக்குத் தர வேண்டிய மீதம் 85 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் மட்டும் கிடைக்கவில்லை’’ என்று கண்களைத் துடைத்துக்கொண்டார் கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி.
‘‘நீங்கள் பாலாவிடம் கேட்டீர்களா?’’ என்று கேட்டோம்.
‘‘பலமுறை இயக்குநர் பாலாவை தொடர்புகொண்டேன். ஆனால், அவருடைய உதவியாளர்கள் மட்டும்தான் என்னிடம் பேசினார்கள். கேட்கும் போதெல்லாம், இன்று தந்துவிடுவோம், நாளை தந்துவிடுவோம் என்ற பதில்தான். ஆனால், இதுவரை கிடைக்கவில்லை.
படத்தின் கருவே, என்னை போன்றவர்களும் மனநலம் குன்றியவர்களும் தீய சக்திகளிடம் சிக்கி, படும் அவஸ்தை என்ன என்பதுதான். இதுபோன்ற படம் எடுத்த பாலாவே இப்படி செய்தால், என்ன சொல்வது? ஏற்கெனவே உடலால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட என்னைப் போன்றவர்களின், உள்ளமும் பாதிக்கும் அளவுக்கு நடந்து கொள்கிறார்கள்’’ என்று கண்ணீர் மல்கினார் கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி.
இதுபற்றி ‘நான் கடவுள்’ படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளர் சிவ சீனிவாசனிடம் பேசினோம். ‘‘நான் ஃபர்ஸ்ட் காப்பி புரட்யூசர்தான். சம்பள விஷயத்தை எல்லாம் பாலாதான் கவனித்துக்கொண்டார்...’’ என்று சொல்லி, பாலாவை நோக்கி கைகாட்டினார்.
பாலாவைத் தொடர்புகொள்ள பலமுறை முயன்றும் முடியாததால்... நான் கடவுள் படத்தின் புரொடக்ஷன் மேனேஜரும், இப்போது பாலா இயக்கும், ‘அவன் இவன்’ படத்தின் புரொடக்ஷன் மேனேஜருமான வெங்கட் மாணிக்கத்தைத் தொடர்பு கொண்டோம்.
விவரங்களைக் கேட்டுக்கொண்ட பின்... ‘பிரச்னையை நான் நன்கு அறிவேன். இப்போது நான் மருத்துவமனையில் இருக்கிறேன். பிறகு பேசுங்கள்’ என்றார். பிறகு அவரோடு பேசியபோது, ‘‘இது பற்றியெல்லாம் விளக்கமாக பேச முடியாது’’ என்று முடித்துக் கொண்டார்.
இயக்குனர்கள், நடிகர்கள் எல்லாம் கோடிகளில் சம்பளத்தைக் கேட்டு வாங்கும் இன்றைய திரையுலகில்... கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி போன்றவர்களின் சம்பளப் போராட்டத்துக்கு பாலா என்ன பதில் சொல்லப் போகிறார்?

Vishal: A squint to success!
MANIGANDAN K R I , TNN, Jan 22, 2011, 12.00am IST
Pushing boundaries and setting benchmarks are what the strong-willed do.
And Vishal, it seems, has done just that in Avan Ivan and proved that he belongs to this elite league, if one is to go by what sources close to the unit of the film have to say.
TOI has learnt from a reliable source that the actor sports a squint in the film, which is being directed by none other than ace director Bala. What's more, he also has had to wear braces, which when combined with the squint, give him a unique look that no other star has so far sported in Tamil cinema!
Says the source, on condition of anonymity, "Bala sir came up with the idea of the squint as he wanted something that was unique for this character. He also wanted Vishal to sport a fake set of teeth in his lower jaw for the perfect look. The move seems to have worked big time as Bala sir is happy with the outcome of the film."
Another source claims that Vishal had to really push himself to extreme limits to perform the role to perfection. Says the source, "It's not easy to sport a squint as there's tremendous pressure on the eyes. Vishal has had to fight, dance and concentrate on his acting as well, all the while sporting the squint. It was a tough ask, but he has risen up to the challenge. In fact, every single day, his eyes turn blood red after shooting and he ends up with severe headache. That's one reason why we've had to go a little slow while shooting of the film. We've had to take breaks after every few scenes."
However, all that trouble, it seems, will be worthwhile for the source claims that Vishal's performance in the film will now be considered as a reference point by anybody wishing to perform a role with a squint.
Claims the source, "When we did a check on the Internet for previous performances with a squint, we came up with literally no references. So, we are all excited about the idea. But Vishal has really put in a lot of effort to play this role. In fact, for one scene in which he rides a bike, he had to keep the squint on and he wasn't able to see where the bike was heading. He somehow managed. Off shooting too, he has a tough time reading the subtitles that appear in films."
The source also discloses that there have been days when Vishal has cried, unable to bear the pain of the headaches that come as a result of sporting the squint. Adds the source, "I think he knew what he was asking for when he agreed to do the role. It looks like he wants to push himself and see how far he can go for the sake of a great role under a brilliant director."
When CT contacted Vishal to ask him about the pain he was experiencing and if he had any regrets, the actor, without disclosing details of his role, diplomatically said, "It is true I have been having problems with my eyes and I do get pain in the back of my head. I intend to get my eyes checked as soon as I wrap up shooting for this film. But not once have I regretted working in this film. In fact, I have enjoyed every minute of it and am delighted to have been a part of it."

என்னால்தான் அவன் இவன் தாமதம்! விஷால் ஒப்புதல்!!
ஒரே படத்துக்கு மூன்றாண்டுகள் கூட எடுத்துக் கொள்ளும் டைரக்டர் பாலா, தனது அவன் இவன் படத்தை ஓரே ஆண்டுக்குள் எடுத்து முடித்து விட்டார் என்று பெருமிதப்பட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கும் அவன் இவன் குழுவில், ஒரு சிலர் விஷால் மனசு வைத்திருந்தால் இன்னும் சீக்கிரமே படத்தை முடித்திருக்கலாம் என்றும் சொல்கிறார்கள். தாமதத்திற்கு ஏன் விஷால் காரணமானார்? படத்தி்ல் விஷால் ஒன்றரை கண் உடையவராக நடித்துள்ளார். அவர் வரும் குள*ோஸ்-அப் காட்சிகளை படமாக்கவே நீண்ட நாட்கள் எடுத்துக் கொண்டனவாம்.
இதுபற்றி விஷால் கூறுகையில், உண்மையிலேயே அவன் இவன் தாமதத்துக்கு காரணம் நான்தான். அவன் இவன் படத்தில் எனக்கு ஒன்றரை கண்! அப்படி நடிக்கறது எவ்வளவு கஷ்டம்னு நடிச்சு பார்த்தால்தான் தெரியும். இப்படி யாராவது வேறு லாங்குவேஜ் படங்களில் நடிச்சிருக்காங்களான்னு தேடினேன். உலக மொழிகள் எதிலேயும் யாருமே அப்படி நடிக்கல. அந்த விதத்தில் எனக்கு பெருமைதான். இந்த மாதிரி நடிக்கும் போது எட்டு ஷாட்டுக்கு மேல் நடிக்க முடியாது. கண்ணு மங்கலாகிடும். அதனால்தான் இந்த படமே லேட்டாச்சு, என்றார்.

Vishal makes director Bala cry
The actor is on cloud nine ever since Bala praised him for his efforts `I DID THE SCENE LIKE A POSSESSED MAN IN A MATTER OF 10 MINUTES'
Vishal, who says he will never again attempt to do a film like Avan Ivan in his career, was touched by his director Bala's gestures while dubbing for the film. “It was as if I was in a trance during the entire shoot of Avan Ivan. I would blindly do whatever Bala asked for, despite it being a risky shot. The squint act throughout the film was already giving me hazar problems.
Adding to that was a particular stunt scene where I had to come out of water, climb up a huge tree and jump upside down towards a dead body below. It was a very risky proposition but I did not even realise the danger I was facing. The moment Bala said `action', I did the scene like a possessed man in a matter of 10 minutes. I saw death in front of my eyes.“
He adds, “The best part, however, is that all along Bala never reacted to any of the scenes and has never opened up with appreciation during the 265 days of our shoot. While I was dubbing for this particular scene, we were really shocked to see the seriousness of the risk involved. I finished the dubbing in one take. Bala sir who was sitting on one side suddenly came up to me and said in an amazing tone -“Nee ennalamda paniyirukke“ (what all you have done) with tears rolling from his eyes. That is the biggest compliment in my life.“

Songs repeat listen pannen - konjam "underwhelming" aa irukku.
Beauty of Bala's movies and songs is the "subtlety" in their verses (except for the obvious songs for obvious situations). In this one - particularly avana pathi - is too loud a philosophical discussion to be set in a kuththu mode (I also get a deja vu of Where is the party - why so?).
As a film maker he progressed to international level when he had almost done away with songs in his craft (NK had only one!!)
For him to slip down to having 5 songs - is not a step in the right direction. I hope that these songs are played in a "chopped" manner
like what Mani uses(!!!!). As parthy says, Ravanan effect on the percussion arrangement (and string usage + kabuli - is that what that instrument is called that comes in Kattu siruki.. oops Rasathi.. and the way haricharan has sung is evident (Rahmanesque rendering in couple of songs).

I dunno what bala calls comedy then. All the websites reported it to be a down right fully fledged comedy film. I dont care what type of film it is but dont mislead us.

I know websites publishes things that are often not true but almost all of the websites says it and even this whole thread is littered with it you see. If it is not a comedy film i would be happy if someone clears up or else you will just get fooled in the cinemas.

Shocking reality of Avan Ivan
Jun 08, 2011
Home > More news
A deep and intense research over rare issues always remains as one of the highlighting USPs of filmmaker Bala. The perfect exampless are ‘Pithamaghan’ and ‘Naan Kadavul’ that delivered a realistic portrayal of Ganja business and physically challenged cohorts forced into begging.
The latest buzzes are that Bala’s ‘Avan Ivan’ is bounded to a serious theme that will leave lump in our throats. Set in backdrops of Theni, the film revolves around a group that sells aged cows (incapable of providing milk) to buyers in Kerala for the sake of consumption as beef. The cows are purchased with accordance to its weight. To ensure that they get more money, the sellers force the aged cows to consume thick layers of mud mixed with water as it would look hefty.
Though it is not officially confirmed by the crew of ‘Avan Ivan’, it is believed that Bala is capable of adding such elements as it has been evident with his previous movies.

Director Bala's 'Avan Ivan' is all set to release on 17th of June, 2011. In the meanwhile the makers have unfolded one more surprise packages of the movie, RK. We have reported you earlier about RK's presence in 'Avan Ivan' and now we have come up with the looks of the actor for this flick.
Actor RK New Look in Bala's 'Avan Ivan'
RK, has accepted the offer to feature in Bala's project on a friendly note. RK will be seen in a rugged look for the first time much similar to that of Vikram's look in 'Pithamagan'. However, the makers have not revealed the character played by him in this comedy caper.
Avan Ivan has Arya, Vishal, Madhu Shalini and Janani Iyer in lead roles and G.M.Kumar, Ambika, Jeyaprabha, R.K, Ananthavaidhyanathan and Vignesh playing important roles.

I am expecting something very similar to pithamagan where the only difference will be both the heroes will be funny. One among the four will be killed near the climax which will be shown very brutally and one among the three will avenge that character's death. But what I am waiting for is the underlining story that Bala concentrates more on. I read in a magazine or may be even here that this movie talks about how very old cows are sold to Kerala for meat or something like that. Lets see. Even if this movie doesn't come out well I wouldn't say a word against Bala. If people don't appreciate good movies then we can't keep expecting good movies to come.

Bala's thematic monotony doesnt bother me even one bit, as long as he can bring more interesting character anecdotes.
I only wish he doesnt attempt versatility like Mani and lose focus.
point to note - has hitchcock ever made a family musical or woody allen a blood curdling action thriller?
Why this obsession to make a "comedy film director" out of Bala? or a "Thamizh mann manam director" out of maniratnam?
I wish they both be left alone to make more interesting movies. If I pay money and sit in the seat to see the movie, that is all
I look forward to - rest of the critical takeaways secondary..

Kubrick hired a series of writers up until the mid-1990s, including Brian Aldiss, Bob Shaw, Ian Watson and Sara Maitland. The film languished in development hell for years, partly because Kubrick felt computer-generated imagery was not advanced enough to create the David character, whom he believed no child actor would believably portray. In 1995, Kubrick handed A.I. to Steven Spielberg, but the film did not gain momentum until Kubrick's death in 1999. Spielberg remained close to Watson's film treatment for the screenplay, and replicated Kubrick's secretive style of filmmaking.A.I. was greeted with mostly positive reviews from critics and became a financial success. This film was dedicated to Kubrick's memory after the end credits, saying "For Stanley Kubrick".

Bala's character are earthy, animated, grounded and smell bad. Or at least that's the impression they give, because they are real. Sometimes too real. Like all those smelly, disgusting people around you. Trouble is, and this is where his fantastic strength lies, you would root for them, much more than that, sometimes you relate to the situation. Some of them you have met in real life, not in Jackie Collins novels. There is danger lurking in the corner always because of these characters unpredictability. They don't get away with monosyllabic lines, they bite your throat. They don't hog the spotlight, with angelic hue around them; they take the light away from. And yet, they are pure beings corrupt by their surrounding, no different from you, I and the dog named boo.
Yup Bala's character are monotonous. Sonnangga.

Vishal on Arya and much more!
Jun 09, 2011
Home > More news
With Avan Ivan ready for release on June 17, Vishal seems to be gearing up to face the reaction of his fans and critics on his performance. He plays the squint-eyed Walter Vanangamudi, Arya’s brother and tormenter in the comedy directed by Bala. Vishal convened a press meet at his office yesterday and answered a torrent of questions posed about the movie by the gathering.
He started off saying that the movie has a brilliant opening scene. He gave an outline about the story, that it is a story about two brothers, one of which is squint-eyed and played by him. “It’s like Senthil – Goundamani type comedy. Arya constantly gets thrashed by me and these scenes will be the highlights of humor in the film,” he assured.
Was it difficult for him to constantly sport the squint? Yes, of course he said. He also mentioned that the contact lenses that he had to wear for the effect made his head throb for days together. “I couldn’t sleep for days together. Worst, for a fight scene I had to jump from 60 ft height and after wearing the lens I couldn’t make out anything from that height,” he described the hardships he underwent. Vishal also revealed that the portrayal of death in this movie is close to real life and that it would move anybody’s heart.
What about the alleged friction between him and Arya? He brushes that piece of news as rumors, saying that he is friends with Arya for the past 16 years. “There are no other friends in the industry like us. My character was supposed to be done by Arya but he gave it up for me. Such is his friendship with me,” he quoted instances of their friendship. He went on to say that even if he received an award for this movie, he would dedicate it to Arya.
As a signing off note, on the differences between working with Bala and other directors, he said that while other directors’ films are like going to colleges, Bala’s films are like going to universities. You get to learn a lot of things.
Shot in 235 days, Avan Ivan will be released on the 17th of July

While I wouldnt agree to summary dismissal of Bala and his movie history, this does seem a chew more than what Bala can swallow. Neither the pics nor the trailer show any promise from Vishal.

the film revolves around a group that sells aged cows (incapable of providing milk) to buyers in Kerala for the sake of consumption as beef. The cows are purchased with accordance to its weight. To ensure that they get more money, the sellers force the aged cows to consume thick layers of mud mixed with water as it would look hefty.

Bala fan is not equal to Mani hater (I don't want to comment about Karthi. I understand you are doing this to give 'him' back)
Nobody has said so, at least in this argument. And there have been 100s of posts made by the so called Bala haters appreciating Mani over the past few years here. Symbadhi waave ellaam edhukku.

Releasing tonight here. Very bad vibes about the film, inspite of a being a fan. But 'Oru MalaiyOram angu konjam mEgam' gives me a little hope - the whole idea of the song, the mood of it - hopefully the film has something in store for that atleast.

http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...cle/67742.htmlHe has made only five films in 12 years. His fifth film is releasing this Friday and Bala is on top, composed and waiting for ‘Avan Ivan’ to do the talking. No head over heels promotions or masquerading invitations. This has been his attitude before a release for the past one decade.
‘Avan Ivan’ which was launched as a humorous quickie changed colour while in the making and is now hitting the screens as a regular Bala film – hard hitting and real. Bala knows his film will have its audience like the way it has been before.
http://e.indiaglitz.com/tamil/news/bala150611/bala3.jpg
From Sethu (1999) which the distributors refused to touch initially to the latest Avan Ivan (2011) which has the entire world involuntarily falling for it, the journey has been a miraculous one for this director who left Madurai in search of a dream in film world.
Bala assisted Balu Mahendra for seven years before he came into his own with ‘Sethu.’ Balu Mahendra taught him the language of films but Bala wrote his stories in his idioms. If Balu Mahendra is known for aesthetic films, Bala is known for his trademark dark films.
Within the few films Bala has made a style unto him and is constantly bulldozing many a popular beliefs in new popular cinema. All the films of Bala so far has a uniqueness that of analysis of human existence. Perhaps Bala is the only director who strayed away from beaten track mainstream so regularly and has succeeded successively.
All his films have strong inner lining elements such as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, difficult plots, and an underlying existentialism.
This kind of genus can usually be found only in the Hollywood war crime dramas. Making this genre succeed in social milieu is something astonishing. Bala deserves praise even above Hollywood for this act.
‘Sethu,’ ‘Nandha,’ ‘Pithamagan’ and ‘Naan Kadavul,’ were all explorations of dark human minds and the analysis of human choices. Bala chooses the dark side of human beings and travels deep into them emotionally. This emotional and non-analytical journey into the minds of his protagonists has taken Bala through roads less travelled which ultimately reaches the destination of cult bliss. The National Award he won for ‘Naan Kadavul’ is just a wayside gift.
http://e.indiaglitz.com/tamil/news/bala150611/bala4.jpg
Bala’s love for dark films is conscious you can say. He always reiterates that his stories come from the society he lives in and the incidents and people he interacted in his life. He has an inspiration from real life for all his films so far.
Another salient feature in Bala’s films is his strong characterization and revealing hitherto unknown histrionics of his actors. All the heroes of Bala went on to become super heroes after their films with him. All the actors reinvented themselves after doing films under Bala.
After Sethu, Vikram became someone who can play any role and command a price tag in crores. Vikram owes a lot to Bala for his position today including his National Award won
for ‘Pithamagan.’ Similarly Suriya was recognized as an actor of quality only after playing the neglected son in ‘Nandha’ and the much talkative street smart in ‘Pithamagan.’ Suriya had to wait for four years and seven films to be embraced by the industry and fans.
It is only after ‘Naan Kadavul,’ Arya was finally accepted as an actor who has a future. ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ and ‘Madarasapattinam’ happened to Arya only because of Bala who changed the face of Arya with ‘Naan Kadavul.’
Similarly Vishal can be sure to reinvent himself and get into that serious league of real actors. Bala always says that he would strive to raise the stature of anybody who chooses to work with him by at least four times. This is the reason for his heroes becoming super heroes.
Now that Avan Ivan is releasing on June 17, expectations are high. Bala wanted to make this film in just six months to condemn his detractors who always blamed him for taking years to complete a film. But Bala is a perfectionist and the quality has its own courses of actions. Even then, the film which was announced in January 2010 is ready for release in June 2011. This is a gross leap when compared to ‘Naan Kadavul’ which took three years to complete.
http://e.indiaglitz.com/tamil/news/bala150611/bala5.jpg
‘Avan Ivan’ is a comedy drama in Bala’s genre and whatever you’ve heard so far about the film is very encouraging. The trailer itself created a buzz not just in the state but all over the world.
The film is about two thieves in a village and revolves around their families. Vishal is keen to tell the world he is one of the best. Arya hopes to consolidate his new found stardom.
The simple, unassuming Bala will succeed yet again. His uncompromising dedication even under demanding conditions and scathing criticism is his strength and it will again be on display this Friday.
Avan, Ivan ellaame Balathaan!

cracker of a movie. vishal's entry will have anyone
bala and comedy - sema combo
vishal was excellent (self mouth wash) and over-shadowed arya.
quite unbelievable love scenes but since its a comedy we can move on.
Ambika is quite a revelation and arya's mother - enna oru acting!
bala's real love is old thamizh songs is proven again - sema kuthu in sittadai udiththukittu - kankollaa dancing scene
while one is enjoying thoroughly, suddenly the intermission comes!
I swear this is abt the only time I felt that the intermission came too early
2nd half is less comical - Surya's entry acts as a speed breaker and slows down the pace. Tribute paid to Surya konjam over.
The cow scene is less than 10 mins and there isnt any proper explanation (at least for me). Story moves on, with some conflicts.
Arya & Vishal fight scenes reminds one of Pithamagan (read between the lines) and the end comes very abruptly.
Bala proves again that only he can think of novel ways of violence, but its not as bad as his earlier movies.
Ending comes to an abrupt end in about 2 hours.
Everyone played their parts well, from Yuvan to Arthus Wilson, fully supporting Bala all the way.
In conclusion, Avan-Ivan is not the best of Bala's works, but definitely stand heads and shoulders above other mundane stuff.
Bala - doesn't disappoint.

ரொம்ப நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகு ஒரு தமிழ் படத்துக்கு முதல் ஒருவாரம் வரை திருப்தியான புக்கிங் நடந்துள்ளது. படத்தின் பெயர் அவன் இவன். இயக்குநர் பாலா!
சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினியின் எந்திரன் படத்துக்குப் பிறகு, ரசிகர்கள் விரும்பி வந்து ஒரு படத்துக்கு காத்திருந்து டிக்கெட் முன்பதிவு செய்தது அநேகமாக அவன் இவனுக்காகத்தான் இருக்கும்.
இதற்கு காரணமும் பாலாதான். படம் குறித்து அவரைத் தவிர ஊரே பேசிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
விஷால், ஆர்யா, ஆர்கே என ஏகப்பட்ட நட்சத்திரங்கள் நடித்துள்ள இந்தப் படத்தில் நகைச்சுவைக்கு பிரதான இடம் அளித்துள்ளாராம் பாலா.
சென்னையில் கிட்டத்தட்ட 17 திரையரங்குகளிலும், தமிழகம் முழுவதும் 350 திரைகளிலும் அவன் இவன் வெளியாகிறது. நாளை வெளியாகும் இந்தப் படத்துக்கு கடந்த சில வாரங்களாகவே நல்ல பப்ளிசிட்டி. முதல் மூன்று நாட்களுக்கு சென்னையில் அனைத்து அரங்குகளிலும் ஹவுஸ் புல். அடுத்து வரும் நாட்களுக்கும் கணிசமாக டிக்கெட் விற்பனையாகியுள்ளதாம்.

Bala: I am the audience first, director later
Filmmaker Bala won the National Award for Best Director for his Tamil film Naan Kadavul in 2010. His new film Avan Ivan is more in the entertainer genre with Arya and Vishal in lead roles.
Bala had assisted well known director and cinematographer Balu Mahendra for 10 years before venturing to make a film of his own. It took him five years to make Sethu with Vikram in the lead. This was followed by Nandha and then Pithamahan for which Vikram won a National Award. In the last 12 years, Bala has made only five films.
In this exclusive interview with Shobha Warrier, Bala reveals how he chooses stories and characters and why awards and success are not such a big deal.
Avan Ivan will open in theatres this Friday.
Your characters are unique, whether in Sethu or Pithamahan or Naan Kadavul or Avan Ivan. From where do you pick these characters?
All my characters are real and if you look around, you can see them. They are not alien or from any other planet. Somehow, I notice only the poor and the underprivileged; those from the bottom of society. I never notice those who travel in the latest cars, I notice only the beggar.
Why is that?
Though my father worked in a bank, we were a lower middle class family and because of that I interacted only with people from that background in my childhood. So, I notice only them.
Today, you move around in a Mercedes, you live in the most posh locality in Chennai and you are surrounded by people from the industry. How do you keep in touch with reality?
These are all material possessions. I am not attached to any of them. I still see those people whom I saw in the past, and I interact with those whom I am comfortable with. I am not trapped in any of the things money can buy. Moreover, I am not attracted to the people I see in the cities; my characters come from the villages where I grew up and have my roots.
Do you go to villages and talk to real people?
Yes, I do go to villages and talk to the people. I am not inhibited and I am conscious of the fact that I should not move away from real people. I walk around in the villages, sit with the villagers and talk to them. These interactions make me rooted to reality. That is how I am able to pick characters that are real.
Avan Ivan is about two men. What was the inspiration behind these two characters?
They were around me when I grew up. They are two young men who enjoy stealing small things for fun. They steal things as if that is their family job.
Avan Ivan is not like my earlier films; it's not a serious film but an entertaining film till the last 20 minutes.
When we met a decade ago, you said films were not for entertainment alone, and that it was a very powerful creative medium through which you could convey many things. Has your opinion changed over the years?
My opinion has not changed. Though there is entertainment in all my films, I try to convey something more. I try to take up issues and talk about them.
There is entertainment in my films because films are not about my tastes or my likes alone. But I have to like what I create. I don't look at myself as a director or creator; I am the audience first.
What has changed over the years is that even the creator has to think of the commercial viability of a project, the audience, the distributors, financiers, critics, censor board, etc. When I take a shot, I think whether it will be objected to by anyone.
Does that not affect your creativity?
No. Compared to many countries, we have lots of freedom. If you look at Iranian films, those film-makers are under so much pressure and restrictions and still they make such wonderful films. So, restrictions need not hamper the creative elements in you.
Many people say your films are dark...
Yes, there is a complaint from the audience and critics that I deal with only the dark areas of life. But according to me, what I show in my films is not the dark side of life. It is very real and that is how life is.
I used to go to the graveyard every week and sit there for at least three hours and contemplate.
Why do you go there?
To understand what life is. Only when you see death will you know about life. But after the birth of my daughter, after I saw life, I don't go there. Rather, I don't need to go there any more.
Are you worried about the success or the failure of your films?
I am not bothered about the success or the failure of my films but I want to give success to those who come to me believing in me and my films. I have to give success to my producer who believes in my film and has put in the money. I have to give success to those artistes who act in my films believing in me.
I no longer look at my films as mine; they are the films of my artistes. If you take Avan Ivan, it is not my film, it is Arya's and Vishal's film.
Is the director not the captain of the ship? What is your role in a film?
No. I do not know where this idea comes from. All the people involved in a film are captains. There has to be equal contribution from all. I have realised that I am not the person who puts in the real hard work. I create my characters in my head but who executes the characters on screen? The actors. Without them, my characters have no face or character. They are the people who do the hard work.
But I am a tough task master. If there is an action scene in the film, they have to do that. I do not keep any safety net for them. If they have to fall on the floor, they have to.
You made Arya grow a beard and hair for more than a year. You made Pooja act as a blind girl. Now, you have made Vishal act with a squint. Why are you so hard on your actors?
When they come to me, they know they will have to undergo hardship. When someone asks, do you have to give so much hardship, I feel guilty as nobody else gives so much hardship to actors. I make them do so many things, not for me, but for themselves. I do not like to see them as themselves in my films; I want them to be my characters.
Why is it that you have made only five films so far?
I am basically a lazy person. I don't try too hard to get an idea or characters; they have to just come to me. I create a script based on characters and not vice versa. In fact, I do not have a bound script at all. I have everything in my mind and then I start shooting.
Why did you decide to make a light film this time?
The general complaint is that I make very serious films. Even my guru Balu Mahendra told me to try a different genre.
I feel I am five years younger after making Avan Ivan. I never felt so light after making a film. We were all laughing while making it.
Why did you decide to have Vishal, an actor who has done only commercial films so far?
It was Arya who brought him to me. He wanted to act in my film. I felt responsible because a commercially saleable actor was willing to act in my film. The first three days, he was Vishal and not the character. That was when I thought of giving his character a squint. I knew I was being tough on him. He had terrible headaches every day after the shoot. I even felt sorry for him, but I am sure he will get great recognition.
You were adjudged the Best Director in India for Naan Kadavul. How important are success and awards to you?
Not at all important. I feel too much importance has been given to me and the award. So many people have contributed to the film and that made me win the National Award.
Arya learnt sheersasan in record time, grew his hair and a beard for a year. Pooja wore an opaque lens throughout the day so that she felt like a blind girl. How can I belittle their contributions? Without these artistes, I am nobody.
Are you not being too humble?
No. Look at the contributions made by many senior Tamil directors. I have made just five films. But people write so many things about me. I don't think I deserve all this, and I am quite frank about this and not being humble.

Thanks Nov for the review... Expectation egiruthungov!! Originally Posted by NOV

vishal was excellent (self mouth wash) and over-shadowed arya.
quite unbelievable love scenes but since its a comedy we can move on.
Ambika is quite a revelation and arya's mother - enna oru acting!
bala's real love is old thamizh songs is proven again - sema kuthu in sittadai udiththukittu - kankollaa dancing scene
while one is enjoying thoroughly, suddenly the intermission comes!
I swear this is abt the only time I felt that the intermission came too early
2nd half is less comical - Surya's entry acts as a speed breaker and slows down the pace. Tribute paid to Surya konjam over.
The cow scene is less than 10 mins and there isnt any proper explanation (at least for me). Story moves on, with some conflicts.
Arya & Vishal fight scenes reminds one of Pithamagan (read between the lines) and the end comes very abruptly.
Bala proves again that only he can think of novel ways of violence, but its not as bad as his earlier movies.
Ending comes to an abrupt end in about 2 hours.
Everyone played their parts well, from Yuvan to Arthus Wilson, fully supporting Bala all the way.
In conclusion, Avan-Ivan is not the best of Bala's works, but definitely stand heads and shoulders above other mundane stuff.
Bala - doesn't disappoint.

Movie is good....Typical BALA movie... I Liked it.... First half is completely fun.... second half is predictable,but still the picturization makes it unique... Everyone in the cast did their part well.... Vishal is excellent,never expected, he can act this much... Aarya is equally good but reminded "Pithamagan surya" at times. Good support to bala from technicians... Yuvan,wilson and everyone have done a commendable job... little bit of bala's style of violence and a death is there in the movie... Surya makes a guest appearance,konjam over'a praise panitaanga but avar vara scene'ku summa theathre'a adhirichu....

dark, Bala-brand humour makes the first half a riot. strays into familiar, violent territory in the second half. extreme shock value, in fact. the St. Surya bit is quite meh. I thought Bala was done with these jarring cameos after Simran's in Pithamagan. vishal scores, the girls (ambika included) are good too. not the joyride I was expecting -- blame it on the promotion -- but still, big winner.

Bala's disdain for God is strewn all over. Sample - Vishal acts as God and asks, "enna varam vEndum bakththaa?"
arya's snide remarks: "avanukku enna vEnumnu kooda unakku theiryala, nee ellaam oru kadavul!"

this movie is getting better response than NK. NK, though appreciated but not positively liked by many. but this enjoys that response i guess.

Spoilers ahead ! Some of the key elements of plot has been revealed. Please stay out if you are really want to watch this film with suspense and enjoyment.
ஒரு எதிர்மறையான விமர்சனம் நண்பர் அங்கையிடமிருந்து (முகநூலில் இருந்து இங்கே பதிவு செய்கிறேன்... நான் இன்னும் இத்திரைப்படத்தை பார்க்கவில்லை. அதனால் அவரின் கருத்துக்களை இங்கே பதிவு செய்வதால் அதையே நான் வழிமொழிகிறேன் என்ற அர்த்தம் கிடையா....)
http://www.kollytalk.com/wp-content/...van-Ivan-4.jpg
கவுத்துட்டீங்களே இயக்குனர் பாலா! பதினஞ்சு வருசத்துல நாலே படம்தான்னு பெருமையோட இருந்தேனே? அஞ்சாவது படத்துலயே *பக்கா பூர்ஷ்வா* ஆயிட்டீங்களே பாலா! சாதிப் படிநிலையையும், ஹிந்துத்வா கொள்கையையும் மறைமுகமா ஆதரிச்சுட்டீங்களே பாலா!
*ஏண்டா நாறப்பயலே! வில்லனோட படத்தைப் போட்டிருக்கேன்னு?* கேக்கறீங்களா பாலா? உங்க படத்துல வில்லன் பக்கம்தானே பாலா நியாயமும் இருக்கு?
"இந்த மலையே எங்க முன்னோர்கள் நாட்டுக்கு குடுத்த தானம்" என்று வசனமும் பேசிட்டு, ஜமீன் அப்பனைக் கும்பிட்டுட்டுப் போயி ‘பொம்பளைங்க மட்டும்’ ஆடற ஆட்டத்தை மேடை மேல ‘ஒத்தை சிம்மாசனத்துல’ உக்காந்து ரசிக்கற ஜமீந்தார்தான் கதாநாயகனா கெடைச்சானா பாலா?
பொளுதன்னிக்கும் தண்ணியடிக்கற ஜமீந்தாரைப் பார்த்து, “நீயென்ன பெரிய காந்தியாடா? ஒட்டகத்தை வெட்டி குர்பானி குடுக்கறதை போய் கேளுடா!” என்று வில்லன் கேட்பதில் என்ன தவறிருக்கிறது?
அங்கை அடிச்சு சொல்றேன்! இந்தப் படத்துல ஆர்.கே தான் கதாநாயகன்! ஜமீந்தாருதான் வில்லன்!
*கானாடுகாத்தான் பரம்பரைடா!*ன்னு இல்லாத மீசையை முறுக்கற ஒரு சாதி வெறி புடிச்ச பொருக்கி, மாட்டுக்கறி திங்கறவனின் உணவுத் தொழிலைக் கெடுத்தா, அவனை அம்மணமா நிக்க வெச்சு சவுக்கால அடிக்காம, கொஞ்சுவாங்களா பாலா?
ஆர்.கே வோட குலத்தொழில், அடிமாடு கறி போடறதுன்னா, அந்த ஜாதி இந்து ஜமீனோட குலத் தொழில் என்ன பாலா? அதை நீங்க காட்டலியே? அவன் பண்ணையம் பண்ணாமாதிரிகூடத் தெரியலையே? மொதோ சீன்லேர்ந்து, கடேசி சீன் வரைக்கும் தண்ணியடிச்சுகிட்டு பொம்பளைதானே பொறுக்கிக்கிட்டிருக்கான்?
ஒரு நாத்திகராக எனக்கு பாலாவை மிகவும் பிடிக்கும். *உன் தவத்தை மெச்சினோம்! உனக்கு என்ன வரம் வேண்டும்?* இதுக்கு ஆர்யா *அவனுக்கு என்ன வேணும்கறதே உனக்குத் தெரியலை! நீயெல்லாம் என்னடா கடவுள்?* போன்ற வசனங்களை மிகவும் ரசித்தேன்! ஆனால், துளியும் தொடர்பில்லாத தெண்டக் கருமாந்திர காட்சிகள், சிம்மாஸனமும், தேரும் கட்டி காது கூசும் *சாதிப் புகழ்ச்சியும், ஜமீந்தார் ஆதரவு நிலையும்* அருவெறுப்பாக இருக்கின்றன!
மாடுவெட்டி பிழைப்பு நடத்துபவர்களை தடுப்பவராக வருகிறார் ஜி.எம்.குமார். தடுப்பவராக மட்டுமல்ல! மீண்டும் சட்டபூர்வமாக லைசென்ஸ் வாங்கி வரும் ஆர்.கே வின் மாட்டுப் பண்ணையை அடித்து நொறுக்கி, அவரை உயிரோடு கொளுத்தும் காட்சி, கீழவெண்மணி கொடுமையை ஆதரிக்கிறது!
கோசாலை ஹிந்துத்வா கும்பல், மீடியா படையுடன் பண்ணையை முற்றுகையிடும் *களம்*, பாலாவுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல, நமக்கும் புதிது! ஏனெனில், கிரியேட்டர் பாலாவிடம் நாம் 1) ஈழ அகதிகள் முகாம், 2) ஆண்டி மடம், 3) சுடலைக்காடு, 4) அகோரிக் காசி, 5) பழனிப் பிச்சை படிக்கட்டுகள் இவற்றைத்தானே எதிர்பார்த்தோம்?
*மாட்டுக்கறி உண்பதை மதவாத நோக்குடன் எதிர்க்கக் கூடாது* இதைத்தான் ஆர்.கே சொல்கிறார். அவர் கை கால்களை முறித்து, உயிரோடு எறுவாட்டி அடுக்கி, ஊரே சேர்ந்து *சொக்கப்பனை* கொளுத்துகிறது! உங்கள் படத்தில் ஆர்.கே என்ன சொல்கிறாரோ அதைத்தானே பாலா கர்ம வீரர் காமராஜரும் டெல்லியில் சொன்னார்? அதற்காக அவரை இதே போல் உயிரோடு கொளுத்த, *காவிகட்டிய சங்கப் பரிவார ஹிந்துத்வா கும்பலும்* முயன்றது? உங்க நியாயப்படி, காமராஜரையும் இப்படித்தான் கொளுத்தியிருக்கணும்! இல்லையா பாலா?
*கோமாதா கும்பிடு புகழ் ஆர்.எஸ்.எஸ்,* ஆயிரக் கணக்கில் அடிமாடுகளை விடுவித்து, கோஸாலை ஜெயின் பெண்மணிகள் ஓட்டிச் செல்லும் காட்சியை தலையில் தூக்கி வைத்துக் கூத்தாடும்! அறிந்தோ அறியாமலோ, இயக்குனர் பாலா அகில இந்திய அளவில் சமூகத்திற்கு ஒரு பெரிய தீங்கினை செய்துவிட்டார்!
நான் தெரியாமத்தான் கேக்கறேன், கேரளா பூராவும் பீஃப் இல்லாத வீடோ, நாளோ இல்லவே இல்லை. சுகாவின் மூங்கில் மூச்சு தொடரில், தின்னவேலி, நாகர்கோயில் பகுதியில் இதைப் பற்றி சுவையாக எழுதியிருப்பார். அந்த ஜெயின் பொம்பளைங்க மாடுகளை ஒட்டிகிட்டுப் போயி என்ன செய்வாங்க?
சாதாரண மக்களாக, ஹிந்துக்களின் உணர்வுகளை நான் மதிக்கிறேன். அவர்கள் ஆவின் பாலை மட்டும் அருந்திவிட்டு, ஆவின் கறியை உண்ணாமல் இருப்பது அவர்கள் உரிமை, பிரியம். ஆனால், அதை விரும்பி உண்பவர்களை தடுக்க நினைக்கும் ஹிந்துத்வா கும்பலுக்கு யார் அந்த உரிமையை அளித்தது?
ஆனால், பரந்து விரிந்த இந்த நாட்டில் வாழும் 25 % *வர்ணமில்லாத பஞ்சமர்களாகிய இம்மண்ணின் ஆதிகுடிகளும்,* பொசுக்கும் சாதித்தீயின் வெம்மை தாங்காமல் முகமதியர்களாக மதம் மாறிய 25% சகோதரர்களும், *அவனவன் தட்டுல அவனவன் போட்டுத் திங்கற சோத்தைக்கூட* சங்கப் பரிவாரமும், சாதி வெறி ஜமீந்தாரர்களும், அந்த ஆதிக்க சாதி வெறி ஜமீந்தாரர்களை கதாநாயகனாக வரிக்கும் பாலா வகையறாக்களும்தான் முடிவு செய்வார்களா?
ஆதிக்க *ஏ....ய்!* குரல் கொடுக்கும் கதாநாயகனும், கைகளை மார்பின் குறுக்கே கட்டிக்கொள்ளும் *சொல்லுங்க எசமான்...!* அடிமைகளையும் வார்த்தெடுக்க பாலா எதுக்கு? பொன்னர் சங்கர் கலைஞரும், மாவீரன் தேஜாவும் போதுமே?

Watched two films. 1. Avan (until climax), 2. Ivan (climax and end). Somehow the 2nd part was forced and first part till climax did not gel with the coming climax. <spoiler>Also unlike other Bala movies, I could not understand why RK is projected as villain here.</spoiler>
One of the biggest asset of this film is score. I can't believe Yuvan can score like this. Really a breath-taking score throughout. At last I can feel Raja there. Expectation raises by leaps and bounds on Yuvan.
Other aspects like editing, cinematography, choreography, stunts were also very good.
But fine performances everyone, Vishal (hats off for this performance), Arya, GM Kumar, RK, Ambika. That is why a Bala is needed to groom the actors to characters. I could not think of anyone there. Have we ever seen Vishal, Ambika or Arya's mother (don't remember her name now) act like this in any movie? Too good. Ambika's voice is not hers but
But unfortunately this film didn't work for me. As Jaiganesh was fearing, focus was not there, which is surprising for a Bala film. Comedy elements works here and there, but overall lost the substance. ****strictly my opinion****
Avan - Yuvan Ivan - Vishal

Not upto the Mark , bit disappointed
Though I enjoyed many parts , overall it didn't have any impact like other bala movies .
Very nice performances from all leading artists ..Vishal was good ,but I liked Arya more .
Ambika , Kumar did good job ,but 2 heroins are not even needed for this movie .
I don't bother about story as I don't expect stories in movies ,but series of interesting incidents are enough .
Bala could have done better job .. Chinna saRukkal , but still I am Bala fan.

Even those "enjoyable" parts seem to be uncharacteristic of Bala, very pedestrian .Bala had pandered a bit with Lodukku (in Nanda) as well as Sakthi-Manju segment (in Pithamagan) , while I've always preferred the more signature style - tragicomic, rustic, &incidental humor involving(at expense of) Siththan & camaraderie among the group(Pithamagan & NK). All these are present in A-I, except they're conceived & played out in a stilted manner that comes out so blandly. Or worse, badly..
Acting leaves a lot to be desired. Surya segment, pathetic (only Surya comes with any credit for being at ease)

Illeeng NOV. The reactions to say, Naan Kadavul was superb. Like 'only Bala possible' sort of comments were there in that thread. I have not seen a single person come up with such comments in the hub / elsewhere (except a good friend of mine in facebook and oh yeah Poornima). One expects such comments for a Bala film, who easily is the best right now. Indha maadhiri no strong story but good, vishal rocks, first half is good idhellaam KV Anand level comments

I'm a fan of it too. But the humor is largely missing the mark in most of the scenes. That's why the film didn't work for many. When I meant this film is in his territory, the basic setup is the same as other Bala films. The difference is, Bala always has a firm grip over the proceedings in his movies. Here, the film is just wandering aimlessly, and then Bala tries to bring in the closure. The closure isn't satisfying too. Originally Posted by Nerd

Warning: Spoiler alert
வீட்டுக்கு பக்கத்துல தியேட்டர், நடந்துபோகும் தூரம்னு நெனைச்சி முதல் விஷால் பதத்தை தியேட்டரில் பார்க்க போனேன். அவன் இவனை விட யுவன் பாலாவுக்குத்தான் விசில் அதிகம்! அதுவும் பாலாவுக்கு ரொம்பவே!
படம் பிடிக்கலை. பிதாமகன் உள்பட டிபிகல் பாலா சரக்கு, அதே 'ஏன் எதுக்கு வருதுன்னே புரியாத' லவ்வு! ஆர்யா ஜோடி பொண்ணு உன்மையிலேயெ செம அம்சமா இருக்காங்க! படத்துலயே பாக்கத்தகுந்த மூஞ்சி இவங்க மட்டும்தான்.
ஒரு மாற்றம் வேன்டுமென அடர்த்தியான கதைக்களன் எல்லாம் இல்லாம செஞ்சிருக்கார் என்றாலும், அந்த ஜமீந்தார்-விஷால் - ஆர்யா பாசம் நல்லா டெவலப் பண்ணிருக்கார். என்ன அது மெதுவா பரந்துபட்டு சொல்லிருக்கார். அந்த டீடெய்லிங் டிபிகல் பாலா, அது கொஞ்சம் நல்லாருக்கு.
காமெடி நெரய இருக்கு ஆனா பாதி மொக்கை மீதி, ரென்டாம்முறை பாத்தா சத்தியமா சிரிப்பு வராது. சூரியா எபிசோட் முடிஞ்சும் ஏன் அடுத்த சீனில் ஜவ்வு மாதிரி இழுக்குறாரு! எல்லாருமே நல்ல்லா நடிச்சிருக்காங்க, நடிப்பு வராதவங்களும் நடிக்க வைக்கப்பட்டிருக்காங்க, என்ன பிரயோஜனம்?!? எதுக்கு விஷால் அப்படி இருக்கார்? கடைசில, அந்தப் பெரியவரை ஏன் அப்படிக் காட்டணும்?? ம்ஹ்ம், நோ ரீசன்!
ஆரியா லவ் சாங் நல்லாருக்கு. படம் பூரா தப்பட்டை சவுண்டு தான்! ஆனா அந்த சூரியா எபிசோடில் யுவன் பின்னணி இசை சிம்ஃபனிக்! அங்கங்க 'ஹவ் டு நேம் இட்' 'நத்திங் பட் விண்ட்' எட்டிப்பாத்தாலும்! படத்தில் எனக்கு பிடிச்ச விஷயம் இது மட்டும்தான்.
அடிமாடு விஷயத்தை கடைசியில் சொல்லிருக்கார். இது பற்றி ஒரு கட்டுரையை வென்கிராம் போஸ்ட் பண்ணிருக்கார். ஆனா அடிமாடு மேட்டரை ரொம்ப டீட்டெயிலாவும் சொல்லலை, எந்த கருத்து லெக்சரும் இல்லை. முக்கியமா, ஹிந்துக்கள் நம்பிக்கை பத்தி எல்லாம் ஒண்ணுமே சொல்லலை. ஜஸ்ட், ஒரு பழிவாங்கல் படலத்தை காட்டி முடிக்க மட்டும் பயன்படுத்தி இருக்கார்.
ஒட்டுமொத்தமா பார்தால், பாலா டேஸ்ட் ரெம்ப பிடிக்குரவங்க, ஒரு முறை பாக்கலாம். மத்த அனேகம் பேருக்கு பிடிக்காது. மூணு நாள் முன்னாடி இதே தியேட்டரில் ஆரண்ய காண்டம் ஓடுச்சி.மொத்தமே மூணு நாள் தான் ஓடுச்சி. அதைப்பார்த்திருக்கலாம் என தோணுது

Easily the worst of all Bala ventures..
படத்தை சொன்ன தேதியில் வெளியிட வேண்டும் என்ற கட்டாயத்தாலோ என்னமோ, ஒரு அரைவேக்காடு படத்தை கொடுத்திருக்கிறார் பாலா. விஷால் தவிர எதுவுமே மனதில் ஒட்டவில்லை. இதை விட சிறப்பான நகைச்சுவை காட்சிகளை பாலாவின் முந்தைய படங்களிலேயே பார்த்திருக்கிறோம். வழக்கமாக பாலா படங்களில் வில்லன் மீது நமக்கு ஏற்படும் கோபம், இந்த படத்தில் ஏனோ ஏற்படவில்லை. மிருக வதை நம் வாழ்வியலோடு ஒட்டிப்போன ஒரு விஷயம். லைசென்ஸ் வாங்கி செய்வதால் மட்டும் அது நியாயமாக மாறி விடுமா? படத்தில் கூட மிருக வதையை எதிர்க்கும் ஜமீன்தார் இன்னொரு காட்சியில் சிக்கன் லெக் பீசை 'உள்ளே' தள்ளுகிறார். இப்படி பல XXL சைஸ் ஓட்டைகள் படம் முழுவதும்..

Watched AI last night. Comedy in this movie worked big time for me. That was the only expectation I had about this movie and I'm more than satisfied on that aspect. What I like about Bala's comedy is it's achieved through all the main characters and does not need a specialist comedian. Arya is such a natural in comedy and most of his scenes are very enjoyable. Vishal is a revelation, his acting especially facial expressions & emoting were very good. GMKumar was neat in his role, not sure if it was his debut as an actor. It took a while for his character to register as Bala took lot of time to establish it. The relationship between GMK and Vishal/Arya was portrayed nicely.
However, if you enjoyed Bala's previous movies, you are entitled to be disappointed on certain aspects. The climax was not thought out well and it seemed to have been inserted just to show it's a Bala movie. It did not cause the needed impact in me (Sethu, Naan Kadavul & Pithamagan were brilliant in this aspect). There was not enough justification or moral ground for the main characters to retaliate against animal violence, it just appeared out of the blue. Villain's role was not strong enough and the reasons for avenge/revenge was relatively weak.
Yuvan's background score and songs worked out quite nicely, especially the Surya scene with Vishal acting his heart out.

Comedy - Crude and crass in many places. heck who cares.
Villan and story - Very forced. That's what stuck out odd.
Ambika and the other mother
His highness
Constable baby, her superior akka and the inspector - Good finds.
Arya's figure - okay, not bad.

I disappointed not because of this but I think Bala made this movie for 'Veembu'. Though I liked Bala's style climax in Avan Ivan, but here it was like a fire on namathuppona kattai. Only few comedies worked for me, so calling this a comedy movie is a comedy. Kamal made Manmadhan Ambu, Bala mad Avan Ivan. Waiting for Bala's next

Not the best Bala movie...this is very much his territory as the story is character driven but there is less impact comparing his other films..the relationship he is trying to show in the film is between Vishal and Arya or Vishal,Arya towards kumar?..a bit of this and that..neither was too strong..heroines misplaced..that too janani iyer is irritating to the core..her comedy parts didnt work at all...
but as all Bala movies this movie also has tremendous performances from the lead actors..
Vishal is superb,body language..somehow Bala brings an actor literally from everyone..Arya very happy for him...the scene after Surya scene was ..he is one young actor whose progress is followed by me closely..a treat to watch him on screen..
another huge huge plus is Yuvan's BGM..chanceless..amazingly imrpoved MD over the years..can watch the film for his BGM alone..
overall this film is not the best when compared to Bala's previous efforts..ofcourse even if Bala tries i dont think he can create Sethu and naan kadavul again,cannot expect a masterpiece all the time..not all 100's of Sachins are great..nevertheless they are centuries..this film is far better than other so called critically acclaimed films which will take TFI forward..enjoyable film indeed

Terrible Movie.Pointless tedium.
First half had a few laughs. But got repetitive after a point.
Second half was a joke.
I guess the whole thing was some kind of inside joke. No other explanation for it.
Bala's worst.
Worst yet, that is. I am now reasonably sure worse is to come.

Idhukku yenpa Vishal-a indha paadu paduthinaanga I was feeling sorry for him.
Some comedies are "A" ragam, didn expect it from Bala's movie. Arya was good!
And those two heroines andha ollikuchi police lady was resembling Laila.
Complete disaster!

I don't know if it's a coincidence but the melody bgm in the scenes between Vishal and Janani heavily resemble Mayilae mayilae from Aiymbulan by Johan. Although the title credit bgm is very sweet it does have a strong Raaja hangover so therefore the bgm which impacted me the most having the YSR stamp was the band baaja scene where a tipsy Arya is welcomed after unlocking the safe. Him and the lady acting the role of his mum, made me rotfl. Both actors had superb intros. Vishals was unpredictable funny and Aryas was slapstick funny.

Baradwaj Rangan has liked this in parts I guess
http://baradwajrangan.wordpress.com/...ort-avan-ivan/
Just saw the Vijay TV programme. Arya/Vishal and surprisingly Bala. Underwhelming except those couple of minutes in which Bala explained his meeting with NT which we all read about in VIkatan. Btw, I don't know if Balu Mahendra advertised his neengaL kEttavai as neengaL kEttavai (except the title of course) in the media but I have not seen Bala doing that with this film. He just said this in Vijay TV - there is no plot in this film, just characters and their interactions..

Thanks Nerd for sharing. Very interesting again with good insights. While BR appreciates the 'maavu maava paguthu' comedy (and Ambika's reply), I felt it was so disgusting. Even the comedy scenes were so forced enough. Bala even though trying to come out of his dark films in this film, he has got into dark comedy (if there is a term) and it was very monotonous.

Sometimes it comes to great help to lighten a tight situation around certain life problems like "constipation"...
I personally use the term "Thayir packet pirichu kotra maadhiri" whenever I had dysentery. It certainly helped
lessen the pain!!!

Why posts going one side-u? Watched the film again and liked it even more. (Glad to see Baradwaj Rangan mentioning how second time viewing is important) Things I liked... Spoilers beware.
#hero introduction scene - such unabashed and rich realization of the idea. Second master stroke from Bala after Naan Kadavul.
#highness - a bit inconsistent performance, but the stretch with the pigeons & family reunion after the quarrel are lovely. Striking simplicity - conception as well the performance.
#vishal - seriously, the way he took on the idea of intro scene is superb. The andhravAdu hero get-up and romantic endeavours at the virundhu function are a riot. Navarasa scene too I liked. (#facepalm should I say?). One thinks Bala just employed the actor and the kalaignan role he plays in the simplest terms. Navarasam done, what else you need types.
#Ambika - Not sure the new heroine from Radha family will get noticed, but Ambika might get 'another round'. Acting is generally loud throughout the film as if it's rule of the game and she made the most of it. mAvu-roti retort was funny, but I liked the other 'Aunty solREn la?' retort more!
# A lot of sequences hang in the air but are wildly imagined - the hosanna pAduvOm song on the background, the ambience of the church, the camera set-up of that whole scene was superb. That virundhu by the police for munnAL innAL thirudargaL - the very idea is funny. And 'Property found, operation success' on a talkie which itself is [I]that[/I ]property?! Ha! And Highness's dead body on the tree sequence was affecting too. Just Like That. You didn't care much for these people till now, but that scene in it's whole setup was affecting. (I am afraid I might use that damned 'strangely affecting' phrase).
# hero loves villains daughter bit was blah. Seriously? But Bala sets it all straight in the very next sequence, which was bizarre too.
# Yuvan was generally good, but I missed Raja in a few lets-get-serious-now sequences.
And ofcourse there are lot of stuff that are like the truck which Vishal drives away. Lost totally somewhere.

mahen, Bala is raw and honest - just like his movies.
see his interview - he doesnt praise his actors like what every other person would do in such circumstances (Kamal calling DSP as next IR comes to mind)
also, he offers no excuses for his movies - do you think life has a beautiful beginning, a middle and a neat end? thats how real his movies are.

I watched Avan Ivan yesterday. Although its not the best bala film, it showcased what it meant to show and that is bala's trademark humour. I enjoyed the film with the exception of the extra surya scene. I feel that the climax was purposely inserted to highlight the relationship between the father like highness and the two heroes.
And for those who claim the film to have no story, a film does not necessarily have to be woven around a storyline, it can be modeled as a ongoing biopic or events that are woven around a character(s) interactions with each other. And why do people criticize this movie like they expected Naan Kadavul part 2 and instead ended up with The Sesame Street? I think right from the go Bala had already assured us that this would be a totally different film with just focus on comedy and it will not be made in the sense of his previous hard hitting films.

In what universe is this a better film than AK, Kalavaani, & VTV. I have defended Bala & I think Naan Kadavul is a terrific film. This however is a disaster in a bad way. There are only ugly takeaways from this film. How to NOT make a film. Bala couldn't set a mood & control the tone, neither could he pull off decent performances. The supposed humorousness is overdone to the effect that one could barely sit through. Bad cuts & poor shifts from irreverence to sudden earnestness galore. If this is a 'spoof' or 'meta-' commentary of some sort, this would be my example of how to not make one..

ah, no not just the animal torture, i meant the climax too - either of heroines or GM.Kumar dying and Vishal avaneging it..........reg animal torture - that was a notional reference from me that he would touch upon that topic and it was there, if im not wrong.......i somehow feel, he cannot think beyond a specific realm, severely limited.....

It is very clear that you don't have open mind when it comes to Bala , desperately wants Bala to fail .

Maddy, freeyaa vudungalen...even if you predicted the script line by line, or bala has limitations, ippo enna?
This is according to even bala fans Bala's worst movie. What are you trying to tell now? That bala's worst is really worshtu? Adhu dhaan worstnu solliyache? Appuram enna qualifaction further?
But I get it - you want to discount bala's prev as well. That cannot be done by taking Avan ivan's prdictability esp when you haven't seen it. Its like taking raavana and dismissing man-ks history - which I admit some people did here. Is that what you want?
Ofcourse you praised sethu etc but this is what is coming across to me since you started posting in this thread.
And yeah, I might not watch the movie either

There was a Bala thread in this section and I had voted for Sethu. Actually all his (first) 4 films are equally good IMO but I like Sethu better than others, only slightly. He has gotten more and more audacious with each of his releases from Sethu. And I think AI is his most audacious film now (though I have not seen it, going by the reviews).

I would say Naan Kadavul is his most audacious film yet. The theme, the way he treated the film, no one in India can do that. I have a strong stomach when it comes to movies, I mean I can watch anything without wincing. But I had a very tough time watching NK and honestly I cannot watch it again even though I liked it.

'Pandering' was gradually waning with every other film after 'Sethu'. But this is something of a deep regress. Besmirches his previous films by lamely diving into trademark tropes & showing how hackneyed/lame/meaningless it could be.

venkki Good one! But I take it in a different perspective. All the negative comments are result of huge expecatations from Bala after his 5th only film. If his decline started just after Sethu or Pithamagan, we should not see so much discussions and comments (not just hub) about his NK or AI correct? Already he should have been written off. It is just a result of 'Adhangam' that Bala should do better always. Still long way to go despite proving him who he is in 5 films. Inspite of all negative comments in first two days why most of us still want to see the picture and went for it? That says something to me. He is smart enough to work on the feedback in his next film. I believe he will roar again!

It is obvious that pithamagan couldn't be clocked out of anyone's mind but still this is one good ostensibly revived genre which I opine Bala pulled it off very effortlessly
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie that includes surya's cameo appearance as well.
Arya, Vishal, Highness, Ambika, Arya's sidekick, police (logic ellam konjam vothukki vainga)
Infact, the second best film after Aadukalam in 2011

Joe, I was thinking of the sivaji connection you asked the other day.
Highness character fits that bill; I had mentioned to my friends yesterday that Highness is the real hero of the film.
Sivaji has done a mad king role in Mannavan Vandhanadi (I think)... the scene where HIghness talks to the birds reminded me of that. Bala could have told the actor to do the role how Sivaji would have done.
btw, watch the movie one more time - its definitely better at 2nd viewing.
instead of talking of what I liked, my main dislikes are:
1. Surya cameo - unnecessary and a speed breaker
2. Vishal's navarasam acts. Nothing to shout about - it was YSR's music that brought out the emotions. Clearly much ado about nothing
3. The hitting of women in several parts
Highlight of the movie is the kuthu dance for siththaadai kattikkitti

Nov, a couple of scenes worked well, the stretch with the pigeons, uppumoottai scene etc., but largely insignificant I thought. Few places were very caricaturish (like literally ROFLing on the chair). I didn't understand his role much too. Either the writing is poor or butchered in the end product. (Latter is possible. This film is so discontinuous that I tend to believe NK's blaring discontinuity is not just because of censors). I don't complain about Highness' role actually, but when people say Highness is a fascinating character, I only wonder what did I miss.

Kalavaani - Its a rehash of Sethu(first-half).... arikki is derived from cheeyan.... mannerism, getup... wt else.... director managed to change the backdrop, slang and here & there some changes.... nevertheless entertaining. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

my rating of bala movies will be in this order :

Naan kadavul is something different and i cannot rate this one... & i cannot watch this movie again... andha alavukku enakku manadhairiyam illa.... saw, wrong turn, final destination'nu pala padangala 2,3 dhadaa paaththadhundu... aana NK'va ennaala 2nd time paakkamudiyala

AF,
Srikanth, the dad is Indiavin Voice Expertu Ananthu Sir I recently watched AN, rendu pondattikaaran and pullaingha adithadi here it is a total contrast and a full riot
spoilers ahead: Lot of similarities/scenes derived from his earlier films
sethu's abithakujalammal ragging scene.... lodukku paandi looting judge's house... laila's school uniform.... Simran's cameo appearance and the climax. both the romances are only on the surface level.
NOV,
I don't feel surya's appearance as any speedbreaker its quiet common where some celebrities are invited and their locales perform their talents. Vishal is much better and we need to give some credit its only Bala after KB who have moulded so many amateurs into a better performers. Usually Bala's movies can be segregated into two parts comedy/romance & tragedy/revenge here the comedy/highness track is stretched long and thats the reason why I could thoroughly enjoy the movie. The highlight here is the Highness character rajkiran ellam thundu sarva satharanama nadichirukkaaru he getting united immediately is a sheer surprise and nice to watch it really avoided taking a different route. I would love to see more of such character-driven performance (pettaikaaran & this) who takes the central stage along with the main characters given a neat/noteworthy performance.
There are lot of scope for nitpicking and whoever indulges I clearly understand why they didn't like this movie.

ajay & vithagan,
I cant help much this is one movie that completely satisfies me as a sequel to PM with lesser known star cast. YSR is the best and bala knows better.
Vishal's intro dance thaarumaaru

+ bullet, AM. the red impala car & red bullet signifies something which is really cute addition. I love that splendid shot where highness and vishal goes in the impala car in those small streets.
The climax worked out better this time as I was expecting a vishal kathari koravalai kadikkum scene instead the montage of irudhi voorvalam & how he captures the villan and tied below is another clever finishing.

Raghav,
On few aspects I find this movie better than PM again the comparison is only within his Bala's territory with two different casts. It is good that he has given equal scope to both vishal & aarya unlike vikram who is dumb & screams hell out of that. PM is more of a serious film and lost focus on the IInd half but here it progresses at a unwavering flow. Most of the sequences here are silly, long but overall crux and execution was spellbinding. Dialoq writer deserves a huge applause. Lot of rib-tickling wisecracks.Performance wise Sangeetha & Surya takes a leap ahead which cannot be said about vishal and arya but they have done a commendable and was never irritating like vikram.

I havent seen A-I but Pithamagan I deem as the best of Bala. Vikram is rather unfairly targetted in this forum for that role. It wasnt like he did a "Maddy in Thambi a.k.a Sodhi Akka in Sandhiramookkhi", for God's sake.
Anyway, that's a digression here. Let me stop without elaboration. For once.

Watched this movie yesterday..
Looks like bala wants to try out comedy genre.. Not achieved the success as expected.. But not a total failure either..
Konjam Nalla Comedy, Konjam kodoora Comedy.. Many things didn't go well for me..
Vishal acted very well. While showcasing his talent to Surya and crying on the tree - Kalakkal
Arya and GM Kumar too have done their role very well
Yaanaikkum Adi Sarukkum -ngra pazhamozhi thaan enakku nyAbagam varudhu..
If this movie is going to be a success in the Box Office, it is purely on the Goodwill he has created through his earlier films..

Chennai Box Office - June 17-19, 2011
Wednesday, 22 June , 2011, 17:12
AVAN IVAN is reported to have taken an earth shattering opening and getting a distributors share of Rs 83 lakh from 18 Chennai screens. The film may not have a story but the power packed performance of Vishal and his perfect mix with Arya has brought in the audience. It is the clear number one by a mile at the CBO.

National award buzz surrounds two Tamil films
Two of the films released this month, Aaranya Kandam and Avan Ivan, are already generating National awards buzz. Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Aaranya Kandam has already won awards at the International film circuit and it is felt that it will win many more once the awards season comes around for direction, screenplay, dialogue, music, and for the performances.
Bala is no stranger to National awards and Avan Ivan has received some positive reviews. Vishal is believed to be a contender in the best actor category. Bala and Kumararaja may also compete in the best director category. Aaranya Kandam and Avan Ivan will definitely do the Tamil film industry proud.

Bala needs to get his mojo back!
2011-06-23 16:22:16
Vishal-Arya starrer Avan Ivan has taken a fantastic opening, thanks to 'Brand Bala'.
But critics and audiences are unanimous that the film does not have any Bala touch as the ace director had no story to tell.
Bala has a huge fan following and there is a section of audience who watches his film first day first show, irrespective of the cast.
Bala is one director who changed the landscape of Tamil cinema and his films are raw with dark and gritty themes, rooted in realism and sometimes beyond.
But Avan Ivan failed to deliver what it promised, and proved that big stars and fine acting don't necessarily make a great film.
Sify tip to Bala- Pick up the threads and make a film with the true Bala stamp. Your fans and well-wishers are waiting for that one really good Bala film.........

I saw it in Trichy Cauvery. First week. Edukkalai adhukkappuram. Actually 'Gentleman' struggled to release and they played it in one of Trichy's B-Grade theaters - "Star". After a couple of weeks they released in another theater also, which I forgot.
On Sethu, Sun TV came up with a glowing thiraivimarsanam 1-2 days after the release. I was surprised because the only thing I knew about the film was maalai en vEthanai which I had recorded in a cassette. The same night they played the film in my local cable. Could manage to catch only the first half. Which was brillant. Then went and watched it 3-4 days later.

Softy, I dint like enge sellum when I heard it before the film released. But now I think thats one of the greatest songs of IR.
I remember watching it in Star. Or was it KT?! They both are similar theaters anyway. But it was not released in any of the biggies (Kalai Arangam, Cauvery, Sona-Meena, Ramba-Urvasi or Maris) at least until 2 weeks. Originally Posted by joe

I have no memory of Sethu and Nandha release, except Vikatan reviews and my sister raving about the former. Pithamagan at Mayajal with 20 hostel friends and Surya death appovE azhugai; kuninju kumuRi kumuRi (sinna vayasu). (One other gang was watching Thirumalai at other screen and they were also crying when walking out). Naan Kadavul, all alone at Sangam, and was mighty impressed. Avan Ivan - first Tamil film in US - was shocked to find that *everybody* in the audience of that tiny theatre was from my office and was very very unsettling. Have this mild suspicion that I disliked the film more because of that.

I saw Sethu in Devi Kala after it crossed 100 days sometime in March/April 2000. Myself and my friend were deciding on Taj Mahal and Sethu, as Bharathiraja was still our favorite director that time, but went for Sethu just because of Raja and just because of 'Enge sellum intha paathai'. Since I came down to Chennai from Mumbai for vacation, it was always a thrill to watch films at our home theatres. Very surprised and totally enjoyed the film. Very happy that we missed Taj Mahal, later heard that it was not good (except for the songs). But only after Pithamagan, I revisited Sethu again and slowly became his fan and after NK totally into his films.

nandhaa - can someone take freudian oedipus complex and give it a mainstream treatment in such a manner? Originally Posted by Bala (Karthik)

Can someone say F-U to the Indian censors and show the plight of Srilankan thamizh folks seeking shelter in their motherland in an honest manner?
Can someone say F-U to the karai vettis spoiling college campus and make a bold statement like that?
He did all that in the best possible manner. The movie was awesome in my opinion. It was relentless in the capture of the gloomy mood of
Nandhaa so much so that even mediocre comedy track by Karunaas was lapped up by the audience. Offcourse Mun paniyaa one of the best shot
love songs.
For me the clincher is the first 15 mins - I dont remember any other thamizh movie with a comparable impact.
The relentless nature of the focus on nandhaa's darker side and his pain - the adamant nature with which the director doesnt let go of it is
kind of new to thamizh cinema.
Pithamagan was a solid masala with touches which were very confidently done. Dialogues all went to the background, actions
images, vignettes, montages - sign of true auteur.
Naan Kadavul - never before kinda movie looks like never after too.
The same relentlessness of nanda back in naan kadavul - no relief at all and I loved it completely.
Bala shows atheism as the way to every one as the true GOD is an agnostic and a perfect nihilist himself
so no use following him like a dog.. (reminds me of vivek's dialogue in Kannedhire thoandrinaal about the dog of devadas..).
It is a total finger raising to thiruvalluvar who said
பற்றுக பற்றற்றான் பற்றினை
அப்பற்றை பற்று விடற்கு .
Dr. Lecter said so in Red Dragon
"Tell me, Will. Did you enjoy it? Your first murder? Of course you did. And why shouldn't it feel good? It does to God. Why only last week in Texas, he dropped a church roof on the heads of 34 of his worshippers, just as they were groveling for him. He wouldn't begrudge you for one Journalist. "
Same tone same message needs guts to say it in a society like ours. Contrast this to the previous atheistic conversations
in our movies, all cliched and one sided. Here he takes the best aspect of religion(the agnostic, spiritual side of it) and then negates it by saying not applicable
to most of us simpletons.. Awesome.. Though I dont believe the message, it is atleast a decent way to put it across.
Bala movies may have begun as crowd pleasing "alternate entertainers" - slowly they are heading into a horizon of bold statements
told in a twisted template of individualistic authority - a signature unique to Bala..
That way I like his not playing around genres - this movie even though billed as comedy, seems not so "crowd pleasing" as
all comedies attempt to.. Yet to see. sadly denied the "big screen" experience by "anti vulgar" distributors who did not have any
trouble showing item song filled "Ayan" and Kandasamy. hmm..

Watched Sethu on TV and was irritated by the first half. If you remember the period, almost all movies were filled with similar story lines of big bully local dada kind. That there were lots of ill treatment of women, made me dislike the movie. The ending was novel tho, but didn't leave much of a mark on me.
Nandha I saw in cinema, not becos of anything, but becos I wanted to escape my boss and become uncontactable. Bad time in my life. The movie made me feel depressed.
Was hesitant to watch Pithamagan until a relative told me not to miss it at least for Surya's comedies. Really enjoyed the movie and was stunned by the climax.
After watching Naan Kadavul, became a full-fledged Bala fan. Still waiting to see directors cut of the movie.

bingleguy,
Karnan is a way-pre-80's movie, it must have been a nth re-re-re-release
I was studying in Trichy when Kohinoor (a/c) got inaugurated (between 81-85). I remember seeing malayoor mambattiyAn in that theater, which was the ONLY successful movie in all of those college years.
And the Maris complex on the same road and within walkable distance from Kohinoor,(separated by an overbridge above railway track) hosted many big hits.

I think it is fair that people are having a go at Bala here. Equal and opposite reaction to Mani bashing when Mani films release. There seeems to be an ideological clash between the two factions(one of the factions is possibly just one anbar of bala) which is resulting in soda bottle veesudhal, as ideological clashes always descend into.
It is entertaining, and I'd request the Police to stay away and not stop the entertainment.

what i meant was, if A disappoints B, it is becos B over-expects from A. if B doesn over-expect, there will be no disappointment. so both A and B are equal contributors in the disappointment as a whole.

யானையும் சில எலிகளும்
There is a mistake in the "சில இளம் இயக்குனர்கள்"s comments - Nan kadavul is out of Theni!மில்க் இயக்குனரை கொண்டாடியவர்களே அவரது லேட்டஸ்ட் படம் பார்த்து குமட்டில் குத்துகிறார்கள். கலெக்சன் ஸ்டெடி என்றாலும் விமர்சனம் ரொம்பவே வீக்.
தேனி, பெ*ரியபாளையத்தை தாண்டி இவரால யோசிக்கவே முடியாதா என்று சில இளம் இயக்குனர்கள் மீட்டிங் போட்டு கலாய்த்திருக்கிறார்கள். மில்க் இயக்குன*ரின் வருகைக்குப் பிறகு சீ*ரியஸாக கதை சொல்லாவிட்டாலும் அப்படி சொல்வதுபோல் நடிக்கவாவது வேண்டியிருக்கிறது என்று குறைபட்டுக் கொள்ளும் கமர்ஷியல் கொளுந்துகள்தான் இந்த மீட்டிங்கின் பங்கேற்பாளர்கள்.
யானை சாய்ந்தால் எலி அதன் மீது ஏறி விளையாடுமாம்.
At the same time, IMHO, Bala is surely not Yaanai, maybe a growing Yaanai!

Bala's wife must pestered him to buy a new house/car etc etc.. so in need of some short term cash, Bala must have made this movie in haste.. its full of cliches and over acting.. some movies like this one, MX etc dont have a funny story but still tries to be funny.. ithellaam romba kastam .. BGM was good.. technically really good only.. but has nothing much to offer.. Arya's acting was ok.. Vishal's dancing skills are good... those heroines shabbbbaaaaaaaa.. side characters also thaangala.. highness character was ok, but thevaiyea illaaama oru villain entry near the end..

India and praising his movies. Being Indian its a slap on my face when a director show some crap as the culture / trend / core issue of India in his movies. This goes all the way to Roja.

But film had backdrop of a third world country (africa) showing different african ethinic group(s) taking over a big city, imagaine what kind of backlash they would have faced, if they would have decide to shoot this move in US some city like LA and potray Laitnos.. in the same light.
Why people living in africa are so cheap? they are not human beings?
Is Indian Culture and Issues are that cheap for Mr. Mani ?

Very very worshtubaa.. The first hour and 45 mins did nothing. Just a bucket load of BS. The last 15 mins was BS too but had two lovely scenes. 1. The set of scenes starting with Arya bringing his girl to highness and ending with the uppumoottai. 2. Arya bawling when Vishal enacts highness' anger in that montage sequence. And is that the first time we saw Arya crying in his career? The best acting moment in the entire film. Wish directors put Arya's talents to better use. And I can go on and on about what did not work, but useless.
Naan Kadavul followed by this? What a fall Bala sir.

Watched it.
- Bala's worst? Probably, but I have not watched Sethu and Nandha in full.
- Pointless, meandering, characters thoroughly uninteresting.
- Vishal still have not explained his existence in the industry. Will win awards because of the gullible ones out there.
- Comedy at its worst. Arya is funny, because Arya is funny. Only he's watchable.
- End of the day, big fart disguised as breezy wind. Bala need to get his acts together.

Disappointed that this piece of crap they tried shoving down our throat was by someone who directed masterpiece like Nan Kadavul, and good entertainer like Pithamagan (where I liked Surya, come on!).
