Angadi theru is one of those movies,which you can say its "award material" even after watching the first 20 minutes!
Angadi Theru(U),a movie by Vasantha Balan(Veyil fame) has given a realistic take on life of the workers and selesmen of Ranganathan Street(yes! the famous street of west mambalam!). The story revolves around the life of Jothi lingam(Magesh) and Kani(Anjali),who are from different villages and work at a Textile Store in the ranganathan street.The Story core concentrates on the problems faced by the workers at the store,such as getting beaten up(men),or being sexually harassed(women) by the supervisors of the store.Love blooms between the lead pair as Jothi breaks the neck of the supervisor who had harrassed Kani.To challenge this a different scenario arises,as one of the female workers commits suicide,when her love was exposed and that her lover did not accept it in public.So talking to the opposite sex gets banned in the store.The story has many sub-plots, and each sub plot reveals the events that take place at the street(some might illustrate the good and some might illustrate the problems faced by the people).Jothi's friend would make you laugh heartily at most of his scenes(proven to be a good choice for the comedian).The Story starts put the viewers to a great deal of shock and awe from the first scene to the last!!And the climax is something which is very realistic and which someone would have never expected.On the whole,the story is an attack on a particular store at the street which really does exist!!!(im not gonna reveal the name!! no controversies here!!..but gotta say Acress Sneha is as herself in the movie!!).But mark my word people you're really gonna feel for those workers in the ranganathan street,and most probably regret that you had shopped there before!
Cast:
The new face Magesh has strained a lot for this movie and deserves a hearty applause,but the real gem of the movie is Anjali who makes it come alive in most of the sequences and most of the supporting actors make us feel that we are already in ranganathan street watching them!!! Extraordinary performances and i really do wish to see them in more movies!!!
Music:
Though the background scores aren't that impressive,the songs are really good like "Aval Appadi Onrum Azhagillai","Kannil Theriyum Vanam"(though it is a bit unnatural story wise!) and especially the rap number"Kaungaali Naayae!!!!" by the Nellai Boys.So hats off to G.V Prakash Kumar and Vijay Antony.
Cinematography:
Cinematography is one of the strong points of the movie. The debutant Cinematographer Richard Maria Nathan, has done a really potential job.As the film claims the movie was shot on ranganathan street mostly using hidden cameras and long range hunt cameras!!.the lighting and camera work itself would make you watch the movie for a second time!!
Direction:
Usually no one puts a special topic for direction, but i felt Vasantha Balan deserved it,this beautiful movie of his would be loved by many!,and for people who had liked Veyil,this would be an additional treat(with extra realism!).He would automatically make you to shout and clap with awe after his well planned climax!(though it is a bit too fast!)
Verdict:
Angadi Theru is both visually and concept wise impressive,and is a different movie in the present day scenario,except for its same old background score,but its no reason you should avoid the movie!!!,a definite watch and as i said its award material!!
Score:83/100
Music:15/25
Cinematography:22/25
Story:24/25
Acting:22/25

எந்தப் படைப்பும் நல்லா இருக்கிற பட்சத்தில் பாராட்டி எழுதுதவே வேண்டும். அந்தக் கருத்தில் உங்களோடு ஒத்துப்போகிறேன். குறைந்த பட்ச வெகுமதியும், ஆதரவும் கொடுக்கப்பட்டே ஆகவேண்டும். ஆனால், அதே வேளையில் ஒருவருக்கு இவ்வளவு ஆதரவு கிடைக்கிறதே இன்னொருத்தனுக்கு ரொம்ப குறைச்சலா கிடைக்கிறதே என்று ஆதங்கப்படுவதில் பயன் இல்லை. அது தேவையற்ற வெறுப்பைத்தான் நம்மில் வளர்க்கும்.
இதே விண்ணைத்தாண்டி வருவாயா படத்தை மேல்தட்டு மக்களுக்கு பதிலாக, ஒரு நடுத்தர அல்லது விளிம்பு நிலை மக்களை வைத்து வசந்த பாலன் எடுத்தாலும் அதையும் பாராட்டியே ஆக வேண்டும்.

veyyil was a Point of View more than a movie - the bloody climax was a statement of personal feeling of rejection Vasantha balan felt when he was without a job and felt insulted in some family functions of his. I have serious reservations in the way the character of Bhavana was thrust into the story - that apart - it was a classy movie, particularly the cinema paradisio touches were truly satisfying. A perfect tragedy movie in many ways.
I will have to wait for the indian community here to buy the print and screen the film. Lets see..

அங்காடித் தெரு - பா. ராகவன்
----------------------------------
வலையில் என்னவாவது எழுதியே ஆகவேண்டுமென்று எனக்கு எப்போதும் ஒரு தீவிரம் இருந்ததில்லை. அதனாலேயே அவ்வப்போது எழுதாமலிருப்பேன். அவசியம் இருந்தாலோ, எழுதிப்பார்க்கும் எண்ணம் இருந்தாலோ மட்டுமே எழுதி வந்திருக்கிறேன். பல சமயம் வேலைகள் எழுத விடாமல் தடுக்கும். இந்த முறையும் அப்படியே. மற்றபடி, ஏன் எழுதவில்லை என்று தினசரி கேட்கிற பிரதீப் குமாருக்கும், என்ன ஆயிற்று என்று சந்தர்ப்பம் நேரும் போதெல்லாம் கேட்கும் பிற நண்பர்களுக்குமாக இது.
சற்றுமுன் வசந்தபாலனின் அங்காடித் தெரு திரைப்படத்தைப் பார்த்தேன். எழுது என்று உந்தித் தள்ளுகிற படமாக இருக்கிறது. சுப்பிரமணியபுரத்துக்குப் பிறகு இந்தளவு நான் ஒன்றிப் பார்த்த திரைப்படம் வேறில்லை.
வசந்தபாலனின் ஆல்பம் படத்தைப் பார்த்தபோது எனக்குக் குறிப்பாக எந்த அபிப்பிராயமும் ஏற்படவில்லை. அதனாலேயே அவருடைய வெயிலை வெகுநாள் தவறவிட்டேன். அது ஒரு நல்ல படம் என்று ஊர் முழுக்க சொல்லிவிட்ட பிறகுதான் பார்த்தேன். சந்தேகமில்லை. நல்ல படம்தான். ஆனால் சிறந்த படம் என்று சொல்லத் தோன்றவில்லை.
அப்படிச் சொல்வதற்கான ஒரு சந்தர்ப்பத்தை ‘அங்காடித் தெரு’வின் மூலம் இப்போது அவர் வழங்கியிருக்கிறார். இயல்பான, நெஞ்சைத் தொடும் திரைப்படம்.மிக வலுவான கதையம்சம் உள்ளபடியினாலேயே படத்தின் சுமாரான [ஒளிப்பதிவு], மோசமான [பின்னணி இசை], தாங்கவொண்ணாத [எடிட்டிங்] அம்சங்கள் ஒரு பொருட்டில்லாமல் ஆகிவிடுகின்றன. சற்றும் பதறாமல், அநாவசிய வேகம் காட்டாமல் வெகு இயல்பாக, ஆத்மார்த்தமாகக் கதை சொல்லியிருக்கிறார். இதை நீளம் என்று சொல்பவர்கள் ரசனையில்லாதவர்களாக இருக்கக்கூடும். கொஞ்சம் தொய்வு உண்டு. அது எடிட்டிங் பிரச்னை. ஆனால் இதையெல்லாம் மீறி இந்தப் படம் தமிழ் சினிமாவின் நல்ல முகத்தை வெளியோருக்கு எடுத்துச் சொல்லும் தரத்தைச் சார்ந்து நிற்கிறது. அதற்காக வசந்தபாலனைப் பாராட்டியே ஆகவேண்டும்.
சென்னை தியாகராய நகரில் உள்ள பலமாடி பல்பொருள் அங்காடி ஒன்று இந்தக் கதையின் களமாகவும், படம் சொல்லாமல் புரியவைக்கும் பல்வேறு விஷயங்களின் குறியீடாகவும் இருக்கிறது. அங்கு வேலை பார்க்கும் இளைஞர்கள் மற்றும் யுவதிகளின் வாழ்க்கை திரையில் விரிகிறது. நவீன கொத்தடிமைகளாகத் திருநெல்வேலிப் பக்கத்திலிருந்து பிடித்துக்கொண்டு வரப்படும் இந்தக் கூட்டம் வருமானத்துக்காகச் சகித்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டியிருக்கிற அவலங்கள் சொல்லி மாளாது.
பாலாவின் நான் கடவுளில் கண்ட பிச்சைக்காரர்களின் உலகம் அவ்வப்போது நினைவுக்கு வந்ததைத் தவிர்க்க முடியவில்லை. களமும் காட்சியும் வேறானாலும் உணர்வும் வதையும் அதே விதமானவை. ஒரு வித்தியாசம் உண்டு. வசந்தபாலன் வன்முறையைப் பெரிதும் நம்பாமல் வார்த்தைகளை இதில் நம்பி முதலீடு செய்திருக்கிறார். ஆணியடித்த மாதிரி சில இடங்களில் நெஞ்சில் இறங்கும் ஜெயமோகனின் வசனங்கள், ஒரு நல்ல எழுத்தாளன் உடனிருந்தால் ஒரு திரைப்படம் பெறக்கூடிய இன்னொரு பரிமாணம் எத்தகையது என்பதைத் துல்லியமாகக் காட்டுகிறது. உதாரணமாக எந்த ஒரு வசனத்தையும் இங்கே எடுத்துக்காட்ட நான் விரும்பவில்லை. படம் பார்க்கும்போது அவை உண்டாக்கக்கூடிய நியாயமான, அவசியமான அதிர்ச்சியை அது தடுத்துவிடும் என்று கருதுகிறேன்.
எனக்குப் பெரிய ஆச்சர்யம், அஞ்சலி இந்தப் படத்தில் வெளுத்து வாங்கியிருப்பது. நான் எழுதிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் வெட்டோத்தி சுந்தரத்தில்கூட அஞ்சலிதான் கதாநாயகி. இந்தப் பெண் இத்தனை பெரிய திறமைசாலியாக இருப்பார் என்று நான் எதிர்பார்க்கவில்லை. முன்னர் ஏதோ ஒரு படம் பார்த்த நினைவிருக்கிறது. சுமாராகத்தான் செய்திருந்தார். இந்தப் படத்தில் கனி என்னும் சேல்ஸ் பெண்ணாகவே வாழ்ந்திருக்கிறார். அந்தக் குறும்பும் சீற்றமும் சோகமும் கண்ணீரும் புன்னகையும் பார்வையும் அப்படியே அள்ளிக்கொண்டுவிடுகின்றன.
ஏழைமையால் உந்தித் தள்ளப்பட்டு எங்கெங்கோ கிராமங்களிலிருந்து புறப்பட்டு சென்னைக்கு வந்து இத்தகு பிரம்மாண்டமான பல்பொருள் கடைகளில் வேலை பார்ப்பவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை அந்தக் கடைகளின் பளபளப்புக்கு நேரெதிரானது என்பதைக் காட்டுவதுதான் இயக்குநரின் நோக்கம். நூற்றுக்கணக்கான சாத்தியங்கள் இருந்தும் இதில் சினிமாத்தனங்களைத் தவிர்த்து, அவர்களுடைய வாழ்க்கையை அதன் சகல துர்நாற்றங்களுடனும் நறுமணங்களுடனும் சேர்த்து, மிகையில்லாமல் காட்சிப்படுத்தியிருப்பதன்மூலம் தமிழ் சினிமாவின் வெகு நிச்சயமான நம்பிக்கை நட்சத்திரமாகத் தன்னை அடையாளப்படுத்திக்கொண்டிருக்கிறார் வசந்தபாலன்.
மூலக்கதைக்குத் தொடர்பில்லாத சில சிறுகதைகள் படத்தில் இருக்கின்றன. மிகக் கவனமாகப் படம் பார்க்கும் ரசிகர்களுக்கு அந்தக் குட்டிக்கதைகள் மூலம் திரைக்கதையின் மையத்தை அவ்வப்போது இயக்குநர் தொடாமல் தொட்டுக்காட்டும் சாமர்த்தியம் புரியும். கனியின் தங்கை வயதுக்கு வருகிற தருணம், சோற்றுக்கு வழியில்லாமல் திரிபவன் பொதுக் கழிப்பிடத்தைக் கழுவிவிட்டு உட்கார்ந்துகொண்டு காசு வசூலித்து வாழ்க்கைத் தரத்தை மாற்றிக்கொள்ளும் தருணம், ரங்கநாதன் தெருவில் திரியும் ஊனமுற்ற மக்களின் குறியீடாகக் காட்டப்படும் ஒரு பாத்திரத்தின் மனைவி பிரசவம் முடித்து வருகிற தருணம் போன்றவை சில உதாரணங்கள்.
நிச்சயமாக இரண்டு முறை பார்க்க வேண்டிய படம் இது. ரசிப்பதற்காக ஒருமுறை. லயிப்பதற்காக ஒரு முறை.
வசந்தபாலனுக்கு வாழ்த்துகள்.

Nice film
Loosely connected vignettes, lovely ones, presented as a film.
At times the film literally "screams" to go over-the-top, but didn't affect me much. JeMo registers his presence very strongly.
Performances
The Chinnamma subplot
the actress who played it
70% occupancy @ Sangam. Crowd responded well, at times lost patience too

Cinematography was not prefect. BGM could have been done better. Better songs than these would have been nice. But still the movie is extraordinary. Vasanthabalan strongly registered his name in 'A' grade directors list. Looks like Naan Kadavul type movie but different portrayal with the help of different plot which is close to us.
Anjali - very superb performance
(never expected)
Makesh? - very good debut, simply good
Pandi - Good good and he has good future.
Vasanthabalan -
Jeyamohan - Dialogues are good and very good at places where it got thunderous applause.
charecterisation - great
movie - experience like reading a great novel
must see film once or more

Yeah must appreciate them, They have give some good strong storyline movies in row right from peranmai, aval per tamilarasi
and now Angadi theru!
I felt in heart while watching the movie in theatre this and thought of writing the same in the thread too!
Watched this movie on saturday:
Theatre was crowded than i expected, movie has many heartpounding moments.
The fun track was also good, it never sticked out of movie at any instance.
Dialogues of the movie fetched lots of appaulse. The crowd responded well, though in second of some lost patience they never had intention to move a bit from seat. The way the story told made us wait what would be next!
The movie has more content to say how poor people are treated in india. The ignorance of ones is gain of others, that is what movie says.
Anjali, as i liked her alot she meant a lot for me in the movie, even her performance was thunderous. She can be trusted for any tough charcters in the future, this movie's performance can fetch her a award i think!
The New hero was good. It doesnt seemed first movie for him.
Vasanth Balan thanks for a good movie after veyil. Please give the best ones in future also! But the veyil stands best among the 2!
Music- aval apadi ondrum azhagilai! song was good, shoould have been picturised better!
BGM was very big plus to the heartpounding scenes, but it was repitative. Thanks VijayAnthony for a good job!
I liked a lot, going to watch the movie again !

movie is just ok, at one point i don understand what director is trying to tell
dialogues were too irritating.could not understand most of the dialogues. too much using of "ele" , even a nellai people would irritate to hear this ele ele.. music and BGM is good. few scenes were top notch. but overall an average movie.

Just my opinion.
The Pasupathy - Bharath meeting scene brought me down to tears.
That apart, the very ordinary Pasupathy romance sequence, misfitting throughout the latter part of the film, Bhavana being thrust into such a script, etc. were too problematic. In the league of Subramaniyapuram. Not into the likes of Kadhal, VKK, Sethu or Anjadhe.

These retail/industrial giants don't care or bear any liabilities to these workers. All I believe is they are subcontracted low-profile workers wearing a seconded badge. None of these chains offer jobs at open-door policy when their requirement is in large nos. Their state is as pathetic as any of the immigrant workers who pay a good sum of money in obtaining these jobs. In return, what they get is low wages, long working hours, accomodation in remote areas, no proper food/weekend-off, supervisor/co-worker exploitation & unquestionable deductions.... etc.
A potentially heart-wrenching plot,
seams VB have also lost much in tiddlers love-philtre.

IT people salaries are way over-proportional to the work. CJI gets 40000 p.m., I think, for perspective; although one would inevitably have to consider the other perks of high office, the disparity is way too high if you compare to even a senior developer.

But not just us. In varying degrees this applies to many other corporate sector jobs (even ones which are completely domestic, so no forex advantage, just that margins are huge). Corporate sector is a only a very small slice of the organized sector in India.

Yes, of course. In moments of extreme pessimism, I imagine a revolution where I will be hung from the street corner as an example for the fat cows feasting on the proletariat's sweat and blood
. All economic/social philosophies fail, and one can just hope that capitalism holds on until our generation, and next - and even that doesnt guarantee much.

i remember that once when my parents lived in coimbatore, i went to a tailor shop to get my shirt stitched.
In my usual tone I asked "Shirt ready ayidicha?". The shop keeper somehow misunderstood that I was angry and said "Idho ready aagidum sir, Adukku yen sir kobapadareenga"
I learnt that in coimbatore, your sentences need to be prefixed with "yenungo" and suffixed with "nnga" for respect. otherwise people would mistake that you are impolite / angry.

Oh yeah of course. I think it is an interesting part of language that we don't get to see projected enough in our films.
Is Poovaragan (one of the 10A's) Nagercoil accent? Very distinct/unique it was and haven't heard that kind of accent in any other tamil movies.

Sakala - The Theni/Madurai dialect in Virumandi never looked forced or overdone.

வட்டாரத் தமிழ் வழக்கு சிலருக்கு பிடிக்காமல் போவது அதிசயமில்லை. இரு காரணங்கள்.
1) எல்லோரும் தனக்கு தெரிந்த, பழக்கப்பட்ட தமிழ் நடையிலேயே பேசனும் என்ற எதிர்பார்ப்பு
2) வட்டார வழக்கிற்கே உள்ள அழகை ரசிக்கத் தெரியாத உணர்வு.
சென்னைத் தமிழ், கொங்கு தமிழ், மதுரைத் தமிழ், நெல்லைத் தமிழ், தூத்துக்குடி தமிழ், கன்யாகுமரி தமிழ், தஞ்சைத் தமிழ், ஈழத் தமிழ் என எல்லாவற்றையும் ரசிக்கப் பழகிகொள்ள வேண்டும்.
முழுக்க முழுக்க வட்டார மொழிப் படங்கள் இனி வந்து கொண்டே இருக்கத்தான் செய்யும். பழகிக் கொள்ளுங்கள்..
ஒரு காலத்தில் உயர்குடி மக்கள் பெரும்பான்மையாக படைப்புலகில் பணியாற்றிக் கொண்டிருந்த காலம். வசனங்களில் பேச்சுத் தமிழை பயன்படுத்தாமல், எழுத்து தமிழை பயன்படுத்தி கொண்டிருந்தார்கள். அந்த அளவே அவர்களது ஞானம். வட்டாரமொழி வாசனையே இல்லாமல் இருந்தது. எழுபத்தைந்து, எண்பது வருட தமிழ் சினிமா வரலாற்றில், பாரதிராஜாவிற்கு அப்புறம் தான் வட்டார வழக்கிற்கு ஒரு இடம் கிடைத்தது.
வரப் போகும் வருடங்களில், பாடல்கள் கூட வட்டார மொழி நடையில் நிகழ வேண்டும் என நினைக்கிறேன்.

வட்டார தமிழ் பலருக்கும் பிடித்தே இருக்கிறது. அதுவும், நகைச்சுவைக்கு பயன்படுத்தும்போது அதை வெறுப்பவர்கள் கிட்டத்தட்ட யாருமே இல்லை என்று தான் சொல்ல வேண்டும், இங்கும் யாரும் அதை வெறுப்பதாக சொல்லவில்லை. இப்படி ஒரு விஷயத்தை பிரபலப்படுதியதே கமல் தான், தெனாலியின் இலங்கை தமிழ், மைக்கேல் மதன காமராசனின் பாலகாட்டு தமிழ், மெட்ராஸ் பாஷை ஆகியவை மிகவும் பிரபலம். எனக்கு இதில் உள்ள பிரச்னை என்னவென்றால் வட்டார வழக்குகள் (கொஞ்சமாவது ) புரியும்படி இருக்க வேண்டும், கலாசாரத்தை காட்டுகிறேன் என்று அப்படியே காட்டினால் எப்படி? கர்நாடகத்தில் வடக்கு பகுதி வட்டார வழக்கு யாருக்கும் புரியவே புரியாது என்று பெங்கலூர்வாசிகளே சொல்வார்கள், காரணம் அந்த வழங்குமொழி மிகவும் வேகமாக இருக்கும், சத்தியமாக புரியாது. கலாசாரத்தை அப்படியே காட்டுகிறேன் என்று இதை படத்தில் வைத்தால் யாருக்கும் புரியாது. தசாவதாரம் பூவராகன் அறிமுகமாகும் காதியில் கூட இப்படி தான், சில இடங்களில் அவர் என்ன பேசினார் என்பதே புரியவில்லை. மிகவும் பிடித்த காட்சி என்பதால் கணினியில் பலமுறை திரும்ப திரும்ப பார்த்தும் புரியவில்லை. இந்த இடத்தில, நான், புரியும்படி பேசுமாறு தான் சொன்னேன் தவிர அந்த வழக்கையே தவிர்க்கவேண்டும் என்று சொல்லவில்லை
மொழியை ரசிக்கும் அதே சமயம், ஏலே ஏலே என்று அடிக்கடி சொல்வதனால் சற்று வெறுப்பு மிஞ்சுகிறது என்று ஒருவர் சொன்னார், அவ்வளவுதான். இதில் என்ன தவறு? வடிவேல் ஒரு படத்தில் கிணறு காணோம் என்று காமெடி செய்யும் பொது ஒரு இன்ஸ்பெக்டர் வருவார், அவர் எப்போதும் மதுரை வழக்கு தான் பேசுவார். பலமுறை பார்த்தபின் எனக்கு இப்போது அவரை பார்த்தாலே வெறுப்பு தான், இதுலும் என்ன தவறு இருக்க முடியும்?

Most infectious one.
Two of my cousins married into Palakkad families. And they live away from TN and speak Tamil only within the house.And their accents are totally converted now.
Kids' language learning is the most facinating thing for me. Whenever I visit one of them (in Mumbai) I insist on talking with Tamil with my nephew. The kid is familiar with Hindi syntax and uses Tamil words (with a Palakkad style pronunciation). For eg: nahin kEloonga becomes விளையாடுவேன் இல்லை

சந்தான பாரதியே புரியாமல் பேந்த பேந்த முழிப்பார் (அல்லது அவர் கதாபாத்திரம் அப்படி அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது) அதில் கமல் ‘தமையன்’ என்று சொல்லுவார் ..அதற்கு சந்தானபாரதி ‘அண்ணன்’ என்பார் ..கமல் உடனே நக்கலாக சிரித்துக்கொண்டு ‘ரெண்டும் ஒண்ணு தாம்லே’ என்பார் .
’தமையன்’ என்றால் ‘சகோதரன்’ என தெரியாதது யார் குற்றம் ? பூவராகனின் குற்றமா ? சந்தானபாரதி பாத்திரத்தின் குற்றமா?
என்னாது குற்றமா ?
சந்தானபாரதி எந்த இடத்திலும் பேந்த பேந்த முழிக்கமாட்டார். இது உங்கள் ஊகம் என்றே நினைக்கிறேன். அவர், "தமையன்" என்றால் தம்பி என்று (தவறாக) புரிந்து கொண்டு திருத்துவார், கவனிக்க, திருத்த மட்டுமே பேசுவார், ஆனால் பூவராகனோ "ரெண்டும் ஔனு தாம்லே" என்பதோடு நிறுத்தாமல் "கொட்டன்கான்கட்டி" பயலே என்று அவமதிப்பார். ( கொட்டன்கான்கட்டி தானா என்று சரியாக தெரியவில்லை, அதற்கு அர்த்தமும் புரியவில்லை, இதை தான் நான் தவிர்க்கலாம், அல்லது புரியும்படி சொல்லலாம் என சொல்கிறேன்)
தமையன் என்பது நிச்சயம் இலக்கிய சொல்தானே தவிர எந்த வட்டார வழக்குகளும் உருவாக்கின சொல் இல்லை என நினைக்கிறேன், காரணம், பள்ளிக்கூட தமிழ் செய்யுளிலேயே இந்த வார்த்தையை கேள்விப்பட்டதுண்டு. இலக்கிய தமிழ் பேச்சு நடைமுறையில் இல்லை என்பது பூவராகனுக்கு தெரியாதா ? சகோதரன் என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு போகாமல், இலக்கிய சொல் பயன்படுத்தி, அதை புரியாதவனை எதோ ஒருகெட்ட வார்த்தை போல சொல்லி அவமதிப்பது ஆணவம் தானே?
அந்த வார்த்தையின் அர்த்தம் புரியலைன்னா அதை ஒரு குற்றம் என்று சொல்வதும் கூட அதே வகை அரக்கத்தனம் தான்.
ஒரே வார்த்தையை ஆயிரம் வகை பேர்களில் சொல்லி, அதையும் ஒவ்வொரு ஊரில் ஒவ்வரு விதமாக பேசி, அத்தனை வாக்கியங்களையும் எல்லோர்க்கும் புரிய வேண்டும், அப்படி புரியா விட்டால் அது குற்றம் என்பதும் எந்த ஊரு நியாயம்? இதை சொன்னா, என்னவோ அவனுக்கு தமிழ், வட்டார வழக்கு இதை எல்லாம் எதிர்ப்பவன் என்பது போல பேசுவதும்சரியா?

புரியலைன்னு சொன்னா பிரச்சனையில்லை. எனக்குப் புரியலை அதுனால 'பொது' தமிழ்லதான் பேசிருக்கணும்'னு எதிர்பார்க்கக்கூடாதுல்ல. If anything one should applaud being 'true' to the character.
LM told me in the meet, Omkara a 'Hindi' film is difficult to understand even for native speakers. எனக்கு மட்டும் தான் பிரச்சனைன்னு நினைச்சிட்டுருந்தேன். I will perhaps need a DVD with subtitles but அந்த நேர்மை எனக்கு புடிச்சிருக்கு.
Flau has some interesting observations wrt to the 'attention to detail' in the Telugu spoken by the Naikkers in VirumANdi.

காட்சிப்படி சந்தான பாரதிக்குதான் புரியல, எனக்கு இல்லை! தமையன் என்ற சொல் இலக்கியத்துல இற்கு, அதுனால அதை எப்படி பயன்படுத்தலாம்நு நான் கேக்கல, அப்படி ஒரு வார்த்தைக்கு எப்படி எல்லார்க்கும் அர்த்தம் தெரியும்னு அர்த்தபடுதிக்க முடியுது, ஒரு கேரக்டரால? அது மட்டும் இல்லை, சந்தான பாரதி கதைப்படி வெளியூர் இல்லை, அந்த ஊர் தான், சோ பூவராகன் பயன் புடுதும் ஒரு வார்த்தை எப்பாடு அவருக்கு புரியாம இருக்கும்?? இதுல, அவரு எதோ வார்த்தை சொல்லி கிண்டல் வேற பண்ணுவாரு.
சரி, இதெல்லாம் அந்த கதையிலுள்ள பிழைகள். ஒகே. ஆனால், பூவராகன் பேசும் சில வாசனைகள் புரியல நா அது யார் தப்பு? முக்கால்வாசிப்பேர் இந்த அளவுக்கு படம் பார்ப்பதில்லை. மேலக்க, (அதாவது ஆங்கிலத்துல bottomline! ) என்ன நடந்ததுன்னு தான் பார்ப்பாங்க. ஆனா, எந்த ஊர் வழக்காயிருந்தாலும் ஒரு சிலர் தான் அதை முழுசாக புரிந்து ரசிப்பார்கள். அந்த சின்ன கூட்டத்துல சில வசனங்கள், சில வசனங்கள் புரியாம வருதபடுரவங்களும் இருப்பாங்க, நான் அப்படி தான். ஆனா, நான் ஜாக்சன் துறை டைப் இல்ல.
இன்னொரு விஷயம், ஊர்ல மக்கள் ஆயிரம் விஷயங்கள் செய்வாங்க, அதுல தேவையானவற்றை மட்டும் காட்டினால் போதுமே. ஜல்லிக்கட்டு சில ஊர்ல தான் நடக்குது, ஆனா கிராமம்னாலே, அது எந்த ஊராயிருந்தாலும் ஜல்லிக்கட்டு போட்டி நடப்பதாக காட்டுவார்கள், இப்படி பல விஷயங்கள் கிராமம் சார்ந்த சினிமாவில் உண்டு. இதுல எந்த பிரச்சனையும் இல்ல. ஆனா நேட்டிவிட்டி யா காட்டுறேன்னு நிறைய பேருக்கு புரியாத வழக்கு பேசுறதுனால என்ன பயன்? அந்த ஊர்ல அப்படிதான் பேசுவாங்க ரைட்டு, ஆனா அதை எதுக்கு ஆவணப்படுதணும்? இதுனால ஆடியன்சுக்கு படம் புரியாம போகும் நிலை தானே அதிகம்? ஆனா யாரும் இங்க வசனம் மொழி பற்றியெல்லாம் கவலைப்படுறதில்ல, (ஹே ராம், ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன் மாதிரி, நிறைய மொழி/வசனம் புரியலேன்ன தான் விமர்சனம் பண்றாங்க ) நேட்டிவிட்டியும், ஒரிஜினாலிட்டியும், attention to detail உம் படத்தை முழுசா ரசிக்க புரிந்துகொள்ள ஒரு தடையாஇருக்கலாமா

SKV, பூவராகன் தான் நாகர்கோயில் பக்கம். சம்பவம் நடக்கும் இடம் சிதம்பரம் பக்கம். (எப்படியும் 'தமையன்' என்பது வட்டார வழக்கு இல்லை, அது வேறு விஷயம்.)

SKV, the financial viability is something that the maker needs to be worried about. Of course the maker should be concered about reach and is taking a calculated risk. But from our PoV the more authentic the more laudable - even if I struggle to understand. (idhE argumend, vEra oru context-la enakkE boomerang aaga vaaippu irukku
)
தமிழ் நாட்டுல பேசுற அனேக தமிழே உனக்கு புரியல பாரு ..அப்பிடின்னு படைப்பாளி நமக்கு சொல்றதே முக்கியமானது இல்லையா.
btw in Hey Ram (where the issue was much more) Kamal , I thought, created a series of coincidences that enabled the film to be in Tamil, and it was still very believable:
MCC alumni
Thanjavur Maratta
Aamboor Muslim lady
Tamil learning Bengali wife
Tamil waiter in Delhi hotel
Tamil servant in Birla House
அந்த கதைல இதுக்கும் மேல ஒண்ணும் பண்ண முடியாது.

அது ஒரு வட்டாரத்துக்கு மட்டுமான வழக்கு இல்லை ,பொதுவானது என்பதா ? அல்லது எந்த வட்டாரத்திலும் இந்த வழக்கு இல்லை என்பதா?

We've digressed too much already, but let me try to clarify this a bit. Poovaragan speaks in the dialect because that's where he originally comes from. Notice that his friends (presumably they are all part of a social activist group) don't speak that dialect. And also, all these people (Poovaragan's group and Santhana Bharathi's group) are presumably Chennai-residents.

ஜோ,
'திணிக்கப்பட்ட சோகம்' (படத்தின் மீதான பரவலான விமரிசனமாக இதைக் குறிப்பிடுகிறீர்கள் என்று எடுத்துக் கொள்கிறேன்) என்பதை விட அந்த சோகங்களைப் பற்றிய படத்தின் பார்வை தான் விமரிசக்கப் பட வேண்டியது என நினைக்கிறேன். உதாரணத்திற்கு, இப்படிச் சொல்லலாம். (படத்தின் முதல் காட்சியிலயே இது தெரிந்து விடுவதால், பெரிய spoiler இல்லை என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.) சாலையோரத்தில் உறங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் மக்களுக்கு ஏற்படும் விபத்து. அந்த இடத்தில் உறங்குபவரின் வாழ்க்கையில் இந்த விபத்து தான் முதல் முட்டுக்கட்டையாக இருந்திருக்குமா என்ன? பிரச்சனை அதுவல்ல.
வாழ்வாதாரங்களுக்குப் போராடும் மக்களின் வாழ்க்கையைக் காட்டும் படம் என்ற பட்சத்தில் இது ஒரு பாராட்டப் பட வேண்டிய படமே. இந்த சூழலில் ஒரு காதல் கதையை மையமாக வைத்துப் புனைவதும் இயல்பே. ஆனால், (பல தமிழ் படக் காதல் கதைகளைப் போல) அவர்கள் வாழ்க்கையை பிரதானப் படுத்தாமல், அவர்களின் 'காதல் கதை என்ன ஆகும்?' என்ற கேள்வியை படம் மீண்டும் மீண்டும் முன்வைக்கிறது. இது எனக்குப் பெரும் சலிப்பை ஏற்படுத்துவதாகவே இருந்தது. ஒரு கட்டத்திற்குப் பிறகு நிகழும் சம்பவங்கள் அனைத்துமே படத்தின் மையமான காதல் கதைக்கு என்ன 'தீங்கு' விளைவிக்கும் என்பதாகவே அமைந்திருப்பதைக் காணலாம்.

படத்தை நானும் பார்த்த பின் இது குறித்து விரிவாக விவாதிக்கலாம் என நம்புகிறேன்.

வேறொன்றைப் பற்றி எழுத உந்துதல் வந்துவிட்டது.
உங்களுக்கு இல்லை, பொதுவாக எழுதுகிறேன்.
இது "நல்ல முயற்சிகளை முழுக்கைச் சட்டையை மடித்துக்கொண்டு விமரிசிக்கும் அறிவுஜீவிகள்" மீது பலரும் முன்வைக்கும் எதிர்வினை. என்னளவில், இந்தப் புரிதலுடன் வாதிட வேண்டிய அவசியமே இல்லை என நினைக்கிறேன். ஒருவர் படம் 'பிடித்தது' என்று சொல்கிறாரா, 'பிடிக்கவில்லை' என்று சொல்கிறாரா, என்பதே இரண்டாம் பட்சம் தான். படத்தைப் பற்றிய மதிப்பீட்டை/விமரிசனத்தை அவ்விரு 'வகைகளில்' ஒன்றில் பொருத்தி ஒன்றும் ஆகப் போவதில்லை. அர்த்தமுள்ள எதிர்வினை என்பது முன்வைத்த விமரிசனங்களைப் பற்றி மட்டுமே இருந்தால் தெளிவு. இது போன்ற எதிர்வினைகளில் இருக்கும் ஒரு முக்கிய அம்சம் (நான் கண்ட வரையில்), எல்லா "நல்ல முயற்சிகளைப்" பற்றியும் ஒரேசீரான பார்வை இருப்பது. "நல்ல முயற்சி" என்ற அடையாளம் விமரிசிக்க ஒரு வித தடையாகவே இருப்பதைக் காணலாம்.

இங்கு ஒன்றைத் தெளிவுப்படுத்த வேண்டும் என நினைக்கிறேன். இது (over-)romantic ஆன படம் என்று நான் சொல்ல வரவில்லை. காதலைப் பற்றிய மிதமிஞ்சிய சித்திரம் ஏதும் இந்தப் படத்தில் இல்லை. 'இவர்கள் காதல் என்ன ஆகும்?' என்பதை முக்கியக் கேள்வியாக்கும் ஒரு கதையோட்டம் என்பது தான் நான் சொல்ல வந்தது. நிகழ்வுகளை காதலர்கள் மீதான 'விதியின் விளையாட்டாக' (படத்தின் caption 'இலேயே இது இருந்ததாக ஞாபகம்)காட்டுவது.

இன்னொரு பலம் ஜெயமோகன். பல வசனங்கள் மிகக்கூர்மையாக உள்ளே இறங்குகின்றன - காட்சியோடு. காட்சியோடு இறங்கும் வசனம் என்பதுதான் முக்கியம். காட்சி உக்கிரமாக இல்லாமல் வசனம் மட்டும் முழித்துக்கொண்டு நிற்கும் படங்கள் பாலசந்தர்த்தனப் படங்களாக எஞ்சிவிடும். அந்த அபாயம் இப்படத்துக்கு நேரவில்லை. எத்தனை ஆழமாக எழுதினாலும் எப்போதும் ஜெயமோகனுக்குள்ளே விழித்திருக்கும் பெரும் நகைச்சுவையாளர் ஒட்டுமொத்த படத்தையே ஹைஜாக் செய்துவிட்டார் என்றே சொல்லவேண்டும். நான் கடவுள் படத்தில் எப்படி இதே நகைச்சுவையாளர் படத்தை வேறு தளத்துக்கு மாற்றினாரோ அப்படி இங்கேயும் மாற்றுகிறார். ஜெயமோகன் கதை வசனம் எழுதும் படத்தில் இதுவும் முக்கியமான படமாக இருக்கும். ஒன்றிரண்டு இடங்களில் வரும் தேவையற்ற வசனங்கள், இயக்குநரால் மக்களின் புரிதலுக்காக சேர்க்கப்பட்டிருக்கவேண்டும் என்றே நினைக்கிறேன்.

Angaadi Theru - The Best Film of 2010!
Vasantha Balan is no one-term wonder! Having nearly given up on Tamil movies, I was coaxed by a friend to give this film a chance.
And to think I would have missed such a wonderful film.
The director has used the media to its best scope and laid a story, bare with stark reality. It is actually the tale behind the glamour we witness in our lives every day.
In real life there are no villains, no comedians and there is no come-back. Life treats some with disdain and its unfortunate that we find ourselves in circumstances beyond our control.
Vasanth Balan has complete faith in himself and has made a film sans regular heros, villains, fights and dances. The guys who give the leads hard times are not fiercesome and cinematic. They could be the friendly salesmen you see everyday.
What the heck, I have met many of them in restaurants, car wahes, hair salons, etc. Do we for a moment stop and think about the lives of the workers there? They are there always when you need them; you scold them if they are slow, or do not meet your requests immediately. What about thier personal lives? Who has given a thought?
Vasanth Balan tugs at the heart strings throughout the film, but he must be conplimented for not extending the torture. Most scenes quickly fade out leaving the inevitable to continue.
Many times I felt that I could not take it. Tears sprang up easily. What a film!
And then there were the minor characters reminding me of KB's films. They appear from nowhere, do thier thing, and disappear!
Like the guy with varicose veins, like the woman married to the dwarf, the toilet cleaner....
After 100 days of barrenness comes Angaadi Theru with a breath of fresh air like an oasis in the desert.
There is still hope for Tamil cinema!

The person who plays Annachi role resembles Saravana Stores owner a lot. Sneha's part is also something very close to SS. I was wondering how come Sneha agreed to play that role. As i said the concept is good but ithellaam toooooo much'nu solra maathiri nereya scenes. As Siva pointed out the support character who loses his job and girl friend - director evvalavu try panniyum manasula ottave illa. It was kinda funny. Many scenes were like that.

Another arai eN 305-il kadavuL - scores full marks in setting up the milieu and goes on a downward spiral from there on. The main lauu plot never struck a chord with me and I could not root for them at any point. Actually that should not have been the point anyway. If it was just about the salesmen, the film might have worked but given VB's sloppy execution of *this* I have my doubts.
The sub-plots, all of them were OK-to-good. Anjali was outstanding - like in Katradhu Thamizh. The hero was good. And IMO the real star of the film is Jeyamohan. From the hard-hitting "அப்பன் ஆத்தா இல்லாதவன், சோத்துக்கு வழி இல்லாதவனா பாத்து எடு, அவன் தான் ஒழுங்கா வேலை செய்வான்" to the romantic "தங்கச்சி தான் நீ யாரு யாருன்னு கேட்டுட்டே இருந்துச்சு - நீ என்ன சொன்ன? - சிரிச்சேன் " to the situationally hilarious "ஆமா இவ பெரிய போத்திஸ் ஓனர் பேத்தி "

Watched the movie today at Kamala. The film started promisingly but gradually faded. A sequence in 'Veyil' where Bharath identifies Pasupathy and hugs him was a brilliant execution and showed tremendous promise on VB's skills. But AT lacks such moments. It fails to do to you what Kadhal or Paruthi Veeran did. AT travels on a different platform but still sticks on to the same structure of the age old tragic stories.
As Nerd pointed out, the performance of the lead actors was praiseworthy and so was A.Venkatesh's. Good to see that talents are being recognized and are used to the fullest extent.
On the whole, Angadi Theru is watchable for the performance of the artists and also for a few interesting sub plots.

Now after seeing the rousing welcome ‘Angadi Theru’ and Mahesh are receiving from all quarters ‘Jayam’ Ravi regrets his skills of judgment. This kind of missing the right film is not new to actors. It was Vignesh who was chosen to play the lead in ‘Sethu’. When he failed Vikram came in and the rest is history. When Murugadoss started work for ‘Ghajini’ he first approached Madhavan for the role. When Madhavan rejected the film Suriya came in and became a super star.
So it is not just your power of judgment Ravi. It's only luck did not favour you this time.

India cautions workers not to fall to unscrupulous agents in Malaysia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANI Tuesday 6th April, 2010
India has cautioned workers travelling to Malaysia not to fall into the trap of unscrupulous manpower agents on both sides.
The Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs said a large number of workers, misguided by some unscrupulous Indian as well as Malaysian recruiting agents, were going to Malaysia without proper knowledge of their employers, nature of job and employment contract.
As a result, they become vulnerable to exploitation by their employers in Malaysia and often get stranded in Malaysia without work and then lodge complaints at the Indian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry also urged workers intending to seek legal employment in Malaysia to familiarise themselves with the local laws and working conditions, The Star reports.
Currently, about 150,000 Indian workers, mostly from South India, are being employed in Malaysia, largely in the service sector.
The ministry also advised workers to carry a copy of their passports, work permits and adhere to the labour laws. (ANI)

Helming a masterpiece that is Angadi Theru
One Tamil film that is making waves is Vasantabalan's Angadi Theru. Viewers and eminent critics are unanimous in hailing the film as a masterpiece and a landmark in Tamil films. Angadi Theru has been showered with praises for its realistic and disturbing portrayal of the lives of young men and women who migrate from the smaller places in Tamil Nadu to Chennai in search of greener pastures.
It needs immense willpower and courage to continue to make films that you believe in; and that is what extremely talented young film-maker Vasantabalan did with his second film Angadi Theru. His first film Veyil produced by director S Shankar was not only a commercial success but paved the way for many experiments in Tamil.
Veyil was also the first Tamil film to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival, in 2006. It was screened under the Tous les Cinemas du Monde section in a theatre called le Cinema du Monde, a rare distinction for the young film-maker.
In this exclusive interview with rediff.com's Shobha Warrier, the director talks about Angadi Theru (The Market Place).

Your first film Veyil was hailed as a great film and it also became the first Tamil film to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Was there pressure on you when you were about to make Angadi Theru?
Yes, I was under pressure but only 20 per cent -- 80 per cent of my mind was in the making of my film. I did not think of anything else but the characters and the ambience.
It is for the first time in Tamil that a film was made on the lives of the young men and women who work in such horrible conditions in the shops in one of the most populous street in Chennai -- Ranganathan Street. How did you come up with the idea?
After making Veyil, I was certain that whatever I made next would have to be different and not attempted before. That was the only thought I had in my mind.
Ever since I came to Chennai, T Nagar and Pondy Bazar have been my world; that was where my life was centred around. That was how I met these youngsters. I did a lot of research before writing the screenplay.
What kind of research did you do?
I did not want to give any wrong information about these people; I wanted everything to be true and genuine as I was dealing with real people.
It all started when I first saw a group of young men and women in uniform walking along Ranganathan Street at midnight. I was shocked to see so many of them at such an unearthly hour on the street, that too in uniform. I asked them whether they were from any night school, though I knew there were no schools or colleges that operated that late at night. Some of them said they were coming out of the shops they worked in. I was indeed shocked to see so many young men and women so late on the street after work.
I did not know how to follow them or their lives as none of them was forthcoming. They looked and sounded scared. There was no way I could talk to them on Ranganathan Street. So, I decided to rent out a room in a mansion there on the street. The room overlooked the street and from my window, I could observe them from afar. I stayed in that room for six months, occasionally coming out to extend a hand of friendship to some of the youngsters.
How long did it take you to win their confidence?
It took many months to win their confidence, that too only with a few. Rather, I did not exactly win their confidence. To get the real picture, I had to go to the villages to meet the guys and girls who had gone back home. They were more forthcoming about their experiences. Even with those kids, I had to do a lot of talking to win their confidence. I had to assure them that nothing bad would happen to them if I made a film on them.
Did you show in the film what really happens to them in the stores?
No. What is true is more cruel; what I have shown is only half the truth. Reality is even worse. Today, viewers say that I have disturbed them with the story. But the fact is, I know cinema is a means of entertainment and I have included love, emotions, drama, friendship, humour, songs and many other things in the film as relief. I have added all these so that people can watch the film without feeling really bad. If you happen to see what is real, you will be even more shocked; it is harsh, cruel and painful.

You mean to say reality is even more shocking than what you have shown in Angadi Theru?
Yes. Much more shocking. Angadi Theru is not confined to Ranganathan Street or Chennai alone; such appalling working conditions exist all over the world where there is poverty. There are many, many such youngsters who are being exploited in the name of modernisation and urbanisation. They are the voiceless, faceless people of today's world.
As a creative person, how disturbing was it for you to give face and voice to the countless such faceless and voiceless people?
I was extremely disturbed. By the time I finished making the film, I was so disturbed that I wanted to meet a psychiatrist. I made Veyil in 2006 and it took me four years to make Angadi Theru.
So, you can say I was carrying these characters within me for four years which was too difficult. These characters were not like the ones we create from fantasy; they are real and all of them suffer. I came out of the emotions only now that I have started thinking about my next project.
Are you happy with the reception the film received?
I am very happy. More than anything, I feel vindicated and a lot of people have started looking at the lives of these young men and women, with compassion. A lot of activists are trying to help these people out. More than the reception I got for my film, I am happy that the public has suddenly started looking at these hapless young people with sympathy.
The movie has been hailed as a masterpiece by many including Suhasini Mani Ratnam in her review show. She complimented you for daring to make a realistic film. Did you expect such positive feedback?
To tell you frankly, I did not expect such a warm reaction, though I was aware it would strike a chord somewhere. I had a gut feeling that this would have a better impact than Veyil but what has come to pass is overwhelming.
Not only in Tamil Nadu; but I am getting mail from people from all over the world -- even Norway and London -- wherever it was released. I felt very happy that humanism is still alive all over the world.
Somehow I felt we had lost the humane side in us but the response has given me hope that humanism is not lost yet. Ordinary human beings reacted so sympathetically and warmly to the characters. More than the urban people, it is the people in the rural areas who have warmed up to the film.
Many do not know what to call your film -- urban or rural. Though the story happens in Chennai, the characters are so rural.
I know. It is a Chennai-based film but the characters are not urban; they are from Tirunelveli, Thiruchendur and other such places. That is why people in the small towns have warmed to the film more than the urban people.
Will your third film be different from Veyil and Angadi Theru?
Yes, It will be totally different from the two films I have made so far. After Veyil, I had decided that I would not take the commercial route and I'm happy that viewers have accepted what I made. I want to make only good films as I am addicted to only good films.

It takes a great deal of guts and enormous research to produce a realistic story -- and even then, the risks attached to making it watchable are truly many.
In that respect, Ayngaran International's latest Tamil venture, introduced under the unassuming, if chaste name of Angadi Theru (Market Street), directed by G Vasantha Balan (of Veyyil fame), is a wonderful product that manages to satisfy almost every criteria of worthwhile filmmaking.
The movie begins with a bang -- literally. Post a rather nicely picturized song, as the protagonists slosh their way through the rain-drenched streets of night-time Chennai, the scene shifts to the pavements near Udhayam Theatre, where labourers are fast asleep.
The lead pair searches for space to bed down as well (one worker asks the two to smear cement on their feet; otherwise, the police would haul them off) and do so -- when a lorry rams into another vehicle and then piles into the labourers in a horrifying, bloody mess.
Cue to quite a heavy flashback. You'd think that with its beginning in the beautifully named Ittamozhi Village in the Thirunelveli District, this is another village-based potpourri -- but AT makes great headway right from the beginning.
You have Jothilingam (debutant Mahesh), a school-topper in the Plus two exams, eager to study further -- but his father meets with a fatal accident, which puts a full-stop to his ambitions. The brilliant student is reduced to earning his keep to support his poor family -- and here, you have the director's master-stroke: he arrives in company of friend Marimuthu to the newly opened mega-store, Senthil Murugan Stores.
Here is where the title is justified, for AT revolves completely around, as the name suggests, one of Chennai's busiest market streets -- the Ranganathan Street, home to countless men, women, dreams, shops, business, success stores and tragic moments. It's as though a random couple in the street were chosen, and their life spun out on-screen.
To those who know the street and T Nagar itself, it wouldn't be difficult to guess which store the Senthil Murugan Store parodies, nor its owner, the infamous Annachi. The store's owner and his staunch henchmen choose boys and girls predominantly from the Nellai District, especially fatherless youngsters unlikely to raise a ruckus if things "go wrong," as they discuss among themselves.
Their job is to practically run the store from dawn to almost midnight, serving customers, running errands, counting stock, carrying tea -- and on occasion, being bullied and screamed at mercilessly by the store's supervisors. One of these, nicknamed Karungali (Black Leg) is a fearsome man, much given to shrieking rages and fits of fury, and the nemesis of every young worker in the store.
Unfortunately, working conditions are terrible, adding to Jothilingam's woes, the Mess, which serves the workers is almost sewer-like, with food dripping off tables, and everyone practically falling into the food, in their eagerness to eat. Living accommodations are equally bad, but there really is no choice, if you have to earn wages.
Among these miserable conditions, life does offer some relief: friend Marimuthu is a constant source of support and humour. And then there's Kani (Anjali), a spitfire of a girl with bright, mischievous eyes, a fiery spirit, strong heart and a will that will bend to no one. Jothilingam and Kani are always at logger-heads in the beginning, but after a few incidents, a gentle friendship develops, which gradually morphs into romance.
If ever a mega-sized store was pried apart and its innards thrown open to outsiders, this is really it. Richard M Nathan's wonderful camera-work takes you to new levels as Ranganathan Street is analyzed from every view-point, and the store's workings itself, shown to you, warts and all, in accompaniment to Sreekar Prasad's perfect editing, and the art-director's work.
There are intimate romantic interludes among co-workers; supervisors who take sexual favours when they can; love-poems that turn hilarious, blind road-side vendors who are surprisingly philosophic; physically challenged workers and faithful wives -- so many tales, so many situations, all happening simultaneously, with a poignant touch.
Jothilingam and Kani, meanwhile, fall slowly into love, going through experiences that test it every turn, while the store treats it the only way it can, even as it plays host to actress Sneha, who does a commercial for them.
While newcomer Mahesh has tried his very best to give a convincing portrayal, it's his friend Marimuthu and co-star Anjali who win the honours, not to mention the numerous secondary characters who play many memorable parts throughout the movie. In reality, though, it's Market Street that the real hero, and as alive as any of the humans on-screen.
While the first half is fairly racy, the second half falls slightly in pace. The screenplay is realistic, yes -- but the general sorrow and helpless frustration hangs in a heavy, depressing fashion.
Vijay Antony and G V Prakash's musical score, while not scintillating, provides an adequate back-up: Aval Appadi Onrum Azhagillai and Un Perai Kettal are melodious. The stunt director deserves a special kudos for making the stunts very realistic.
The real credit goes to Vasantha Balan, though, for coming up with a realistic movie without getting caught in cliched situations; for sticking a camera into reality and capturing a slice of life.
Fans of complete commercial ventures might find the going slow -- but Angadi Theru is, nevertheless, the kind of cinema you keep hoping for and only rarely get. A must-watch.

Finally, after lots of disappointing flops on almost every weekend in the past, here comes glad news for Tamil movie buffs. Vasantha Balan's 'Angadi Theru' may not be an entertainment film, but a hardcore reality about problems and pitiful lives of those salespersons, whom we meet often at textile showrooms.
T. Nagar, one of the prominently commercial areas of Chennai is well-known for its lavish showrooms, where everyone from a billionaire to a middle class family walks around. But Vasantha Balan's portrayal on other-side of T. Nagar is pretty mind-boggling.
The day-to-day problems of these salespersons, their humiliations and need to resist such cruelties of their bosses have been distinctly presented.
Hats off to Vasantha Balan for such a brilliant attempt of showcasing the realities that was till now an unknown mystery for Chennaites themselves. And if you're a Chennaite, you must appreciate this filmmaker have bringing you such a realistic drama.
Jyothi Lingam (Magesh), a top-scorer at 12th STD in his school has to give up his dreams of joining engineering course when his father dies in a train accident at unmanned level crossing. When he turns to be the only hope of bread and butter for his family members, he takes up a job at a leading textile showroom in Chennai along with his friend Maarimuthu (Black Pandi) through an agent.
Their lives are devastated by miseries right from the first day of job. Girls are molested horribly by their floor managers when they are found to playing and chatting during work-time. Well for guys, they're beaten black and blue, ripped off their skins when something goes wrong. Your hearts would be drenched on witnessing how the agents employ staffs as they lookout for a person from terribly poor family, who has sisters to be supported, whose fathers have passed away.
Over therein showroom, Lingam meets Kani (Katradhu Tamizh fame Anjali), an boisterously playful girl, who has her unexpressive troubles and yet survives it. The story introduces as to various characters of other salespersons working in textile showroom, their love stories, happiness, tragedies and emotional quotients.
Say for instance, the way a strange person finds a job by cleaning public toilet is a good-shot of reality and humor as well. On pars, the lame man and his wife, their support for each other is a heart-binding effort by Vasantha Balan.
Technically, the film scores brownie points on all aspects. Be it Richard’s cinematography, the musical scores of G.V. Prakash and Vijay Anthony, art direction by Muthuraj are awe-inspiring…
Dialogues by Jaya Mohan are powerful and fantastic.
On the whole, 'Angadi Theru' is best to regarded as a reality drama that remains close to our hearts rather than calling it a cinema. If Vasantha Balan had trimmed down the duration by avoiding unwanted sequences, the film would have been pleasurable experience even for the miniscule audiences.
As of now, it will make high waves at B and C centres and Ayngaran International can take a deep breath with relaxation as they finally made it bigger after continuous flops in the past.

Movies aren't reality but they are from reality. That’s what Vasanthabalan has conveyed in his new film. Very similar to the films of Madhur Bhadarkar in Hindi Vasanthabalan too has gone onto the details of a social problem while trying to tell story at the same time.
Ayngaran International Films ‘Angadi Theru’ is a disturbing love story told in the back drop of serious life.
It about the sordid life forced upon two youngsters from a remote south Tamil Nadu village who are brought to Chennai city to work as counter sales people in swanky textile malls of Ranganathan Street and exploited by their employers. Mahesh who is a plus two topper is forced by the circumstances to take up a sales man job in a mall in Chennai. Anjali is also employed at the same shop. The jobs are low paying and they live in inhuman conditions provided by their exploiting mall owners. Amidst the conditions they fall in love which irks the mean management and they fight it out. The exploiting conditions in the mall don’t give way to peaceful existence and the try to start a new life out of the mall but end up ordinarily. While telling the story of lovers, Vasanthabalan also unveils the pathetic life conditions of poor young people from remote villages who are brought to city in promise of good job and then exploited by the poor blood sucking management.
The film is hard hitting in its reality. Life seems very tame at times. Many things happening in this film are things that are happening to us or around us but we hardly seem to notice or empathise. The graphic description of the life of the forced laborers strikes you hard. Next time if you go shopping to the posh malls in Ranganathan Street or around T. Nagar please pause and take a deep look at the uniformed counter sales people and give him or her considerate smile. Like his earlier ‘Veyil’ Vasanthabalan here too seems to tell us the world outside is a real bad world and survival is difficult for the good and able.
‘Angadi Theru’ is exquisitely simple and is a sonnet to the sprit of survival. For thoughtful filmgoers ‘Angadi Theru’ is a beautifully contained film complete in its portrayal of a young pair in search of life.
The performances of the leading characters are assets to the film. New comer Mahesh and ‘Kattrathu Thamizh’ Anjali are simply superb and they virtually carry the film on behalf of Vasanthabalan. The director also proved his choice of actors is on target. If the industry doesn’t use the potential of Anjali fully after this film then that would be a loss to Tamil cinema. Director A. Venkatesh as the mall supervisor and Black Pandi of 'Kanakanum Kalangal' as the friend of Mahesh are the only other significant characters and they too are fine.
Music by G V Prakash and Vijay Antony evokes a mixed feeling. The songs are good but they are neither in the film nor with the film. Vijay Antony’s ‘Aval Appadi Ondrum Azhagillai’ which is already a chart buster looks reclaimed on screen. But Vijay Antony’s back ground score is marvelous. The BGM travels as a separate character throughout the film. It makes you cry when the characters cry and laugh when they laugh.
The debutant Cinematographer Richard Maria Nathan walks hand in hand with Vasanthabalan. Right from the opening scene of rain drenched lanes of T. Nagar till the dry crowded Ranganathan Street providing asylum to the central characters at the end Richard cools your eyes meaningfully. Welcome Richard! Well Done!!
Vasanthabalan’s screenplay is as uncluttered and faithful as his lead characters. But he could have told his dialogue writer to refrain from adding that Tirunelveli slang ‘lei… lei’ to each and every utterance. The 150 minutes could have been trimmed a bit. The story of Anjali’s younger sister, and the song sequence inside the shop at night and particularly the scenes of Sneha could have been done away with. They don’t do anything to enhance the narration.
‘Angadi Theru’ may not be a turning point in the history of Tamil cinema, but a film worth archiving for future. Vasanthabalan’s third feature film is modest and quiet a study on loneliness and surviving spirit

In this era of shallow, fraudulent movies with non-existent plots, here is a definitive movie with a moral framework, one that works and keeps your attention riveted. Angadi Theru, straight from the heart, comes from Vasantha Balan, a director who understands the nuances of making a realistic film with well-etched out characters and strong screenplay.
After creating waves with his Veyyil, Vasantha Balan is back with his next venture Angadi Theru with a slew of new faces in the lead roles. This film is the story of hundreds of ordinary youngsters, just out of their teens, who come to Chennai with many dreams but end up leading mechanical lives. If you want to watch a movie which pulls your heart-strings, makes you emotional and touches your soul, this is it. Narrating the common man's struggle and sufferings, the true story of many families, this beautifully-made movie is shot in various scenic locations in Tamil Nadu. It takes a great deal of guts and enormous research to produce a realistic story; even after that, the risks attached to making it watchable and successful are truly many. Truly Ayngaran International is to be lauded for this film!
What is it about?
The story begins with a bang! A beautifully picturised song shows the protagonists sloshing their way through the rain-drenched streets of Chennai at night, searching for a place to sleep. Their search ends at a pavement where many workers are sleeping. Suddenly, a lorry rams into another vehicle and then runs over the labourers in a horrifying, bloody accident. The scene shifts to the hospital where a policeman asks a victim about his family. The flashback begins!
Jothilingam (Mahesh) is a bright boy and tops in his Plus Two exams. Due to sudden death of his father, Lingam (as he is called by everyone) is forced to work to support his poor family. He ends up getting a job in a swanky textile shop at the crowded Ranganathan street in T. Nagar, Chennai along with his friend Marimuthu.
Kani (Anjali) is employed at the same shop. After some initial unfriendly encounters, love eventually blossoms between the two. Hundreds of young girls and boys are forced to work here under terrible working conditions. An almost machine-like lifestyle, a pathetic mess where everyone practically attacks his inadequate and tasteless food and the equally bad accommodation make their lives miserable. The rest of the story is about how the protagonists survive in these harsh conditions and what happens to them when fate is even more cruel? The film has many twist and turns with a brilliant climax!
Violation of human rights, pitiable work conditions and sexual molestation as punishments are depicted in the most realistic way. Romance between co-workers, hilarious love poems, blind vendors, a physically challenged worker and his faithful wife -- all these will stay in our hearts forever.
Newcomers are the asset of this film. Debutant Mahesh has given a neat performance but needs to improve in his expressions. Anjali of Kattradhu Thamizh fame and Marimuthu are other pillars of support. Music is scored by Vijay Antony and G.V. Prakash. Richard M. Nathan, who had worked with K.V. Anand, makes his debut as cinematographer and has worked in tandem with the mood of the film.
With a sad but beautiful ending a very powerful storyline, Angadi Theru is one of the best-made recent movies with a touch of class. If you have a taste for good cinema, Angadi Theru is a must-watch movie.

Vasantha Balan gets threatening calls
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, April 07, 2010]
After he realistically portrayed the miserable lives of poor youngsters in the swanky malls of T. Nagar in the guise of employment, director Vasantha Balan has been getting threatening phone calls from anonymous persons using public telephone booths.
Sources also say Vasantha Balan has lodged a complaint with the Chennai police commissioner with regards to that. ‘Angadi Theru’ which touched the conscience of the multitudes of shoppers visiting T Nagar malls every day is an eye opener for many. Even the authorities have now taken the labour issues shown in the film seriously and are planning to take appropriate actions through Labour Welfare courts. When contacted Vasantha Bala refused to comment.

Vasantha Balan’s Inspiration
IndiaGlitz [Friday, April 02, 2010]
Amidst the positive response received from his recent release ‘Angadi Theru’, director Vasantha Balan has decided what to work on, for his next project.
With Superstar Rajinikanth wanting to see ‘Angadi Theru’, Vasantha Balan was astonished to see the reach of his movie. Sources say, he will screen a special show for the superstar.
Besides this, Vasantha Balan has already started working on his next project with ‘Eeram’ Aadhi and Pasupathi in the lead. He has been inspired by a famous Tamil novel.
According to sources, Vasantha Balan will write a story inspired by a chapter in ‘Kaaval Kottam’ by S.Venkatesh, The novel is apparently about the history of Madurai. Vasantha Balan will bring the story to celluloid by closely working with Venkatesh the author himself.
It is also learnt that, noted director Bharathirajaa wanted to direct the same chapter what Vasantha Balan has thought of.

Some might argue that that's the point (Rudhra-Thandavam et al.), but it didn't work for me. Here's a film that in some sense attempts to implicate the audience, yet it imagines this all-powerful villain.
But it is the brutal larger-than-lifeness powerfulness that keeps it going NK, isn't it ? It is one thing to show that the power is a front, more fragile than it appears (which may be 'too' optimistic) but it is possible (though challenging) to have a bigbad villain and still implicate the viewer. (Example mattum kEtturaadheenga

Actually my point is not about the magnitude of power, but rather in making it look like something "other" than the commonplace. In NK, this is in the 'implicit' notion that this is some kind of an unthinkable kidnap racket by Thandavan. As if we don't know how or why it is happening, but it's happening. Similarly, in AT (though to a significantly lesser extent), it's like these people are 'caught' in the web of these shop owners.

I see that. But it is really hard to do without that dramatization and does not necessarily relieve the viewer of whatever it is that the maker wants to implicate him of.

I understand there are portrayals that show that the employees are told they are 'free to go' if they wanted but do not manage to get hired in the other stores in the street.

Actually I don't think the dramatization will suffer because of this. And I don't think there's a need to take it to an abstract level by asking if it necessarily relieves the viewer or not! My point is just that a film imagining an evil, un-defeatable villain runs the risk of distracting us from what is perceivable immediately in the real world. A film can simultaneously show what would unsettle the audience, as NK itself does extremely well in other parts.

And just to reiterate, my point is not at all that the film should 'reveal' that the villain's power is "more fragile than it appears." I should have perhaps worded it differently, but the emphasis was not on 'all-powerful,' but in 'imagining' it as an other phenomenon.
As I see it, the villain being powerful (indeed, too powerful for the protagonist) is different from placing him in a different plane. I was actually discussing this (about portraying a powerful villain etc.) with a friend yesterday. So I'll just repeat some of the things we talked about yesterday. Take 'pithAmagan.' I think it offers a great example to illustrate my point. The villain of that film is indeed powerful, ruthless or what have you, but his portrayal is disturbingly close to being real. Consider the relationship between Gomathi and him. She's obviously aware of the way he works. She's not shown to be just naive, like several Tamil films conveniently do. In her eyes (or Sithan's for that matter), he's self-evidently a threatening figure, and simultaneously there's also a sense of 'loyalty' that the film brilliantly captures.

Although the reviewer seems to be more disappointed about the movie "not representing his prism-view of the politics of the movie", I tend to agree with equa here. And the alternate choices offered by the reviewer seemed quite interesting to me in terms of choosing the protagonist, Madhur Bhandarkar notwithstanding.
I was recommended Vidheyan for the two-way relationship between Master and slave that equa alludes to, but have never got round to seeing it.

Yes. Like I said, the notion that they're 'caught' is present to a significantly lesser extent in AT. Which is perfectly understandable considering how hopeful the respective conditions are. And of couse here, the villains are not along the lines of God vs. Evil. (Ah, it'd be much easier if we discuss this after you've watched the film!)
The similarity I'm pointing out is that both films don't illuminate why the slaves remain 'caught' in the web, i.e. why the world 'outside' doesn't attract them.

Very true, had the same thought after watching AT. I guess the film's world is just the street alone, much faithful to it's title.
Also found that most of the incidents in the film happen on the streets, including the Angadi Theru.

True
One last thing...
NK necessarily demands a more ruthless, devious villain than Pithamagan. Note: I am not saying that a 'loyalty' is out of question in this equation. Just that the film needed him to be that way so the focus remains on the 'hoping and against hope' and making whatever possible case for Rudran's extreme relief.
If there was even hint of a two-way-ness between the uruppadis and thANdavan - then it endangers the film's ending. Isn't it ?

Absolutely, I agree with you here. And I didn't like the way it ended. I didn't particularly dislike it either, just found it mystifying. In general, I thought the Rudhran parts didn't gel with the beggars' world. This is why/where I consider the film a "failure." But I don't buy the idea that the film is essentially about this (Rudran's offering of extreme relief or what have you. The portrayal of the lives of those beggars worked extremely well for me independent of the whole rudhra-thANdavam deal.

As for AT, you must see the victims here in Malaysia. They are brought from the rural regions of TN and thrust here in a strange land. They feel so lost and helpless that you begin toi understand why they dont attempt to "escape."
Very much like the severely abused wives who stick with thier husbands and even protect them from the law.

I also agree here. The oppression and complete lack of vulnerability/fragility in the "Evil" seemed to solely function for two-folded aspect of "death" that Rudran delivers to the characters.

May I suggest "Elippathayam" (especially the relationship between the patriarchal brother and the repressed sister - helpless, the "why" is in its makeup , less explicitly explored than in "Vidheyan", and much more nuanced and satisfying.

Though I guess whatever we're discussing here would be more or less the same even if there was a director's cut to this film. I think Bala consciously decided to go this way. Also note that, in the novel (Jeyamohan's 'EzhAm ulagam', an unread copy of which is still lying on my shelf) that served as the inspiration for the film, the portrayal of the beggars' boss is diametrically opposite to this.

Well, I mean the thoughts and debates it has sparked in me. And of course, there's the cliched response. When I go to Ranganathan Street the next time, I guess I'd be reminded of the film, and would perhaps be more receptive to the conditions in which the sales people there are working, etc. (Not that it amounts to anything.)

Correct. For me the 1st half did leave an impact. 2nd half was pure drama with so many cliches and forced attempts to evoke sympathy. But no impact at all.

Very good movie. He has taken a subject that is neglected by many and added love to it and presented very well. Director, main characters (lead male and female and the friend) have done justice to the movie.

Related to the theme of this movie, but digression:
http://www.inc.com/news/articles/201...tner=yahoobuzz
The firing isn't without precedent. In October Walmart fired an Ocala branch's loss prevention officer for chasing a man allegedly trying to steal golf balls. And in August 2009, two college-age Best Buy employees were fired from a Broomfield, Colorado Best Buy after tackling an alleged shoplifter. A Best Buy spokeswoman said all employees "are aware, and trained, on the standard operating procedures for dealing with shoplifting or theft –
which includes ceasing pursuit of a suspected shoplifter once they exit the store." This, she said, was for the safety of employees.
...
...
...
In Texas, for example, a shoplifter – his lawyer says he admits to the crime – is suing Walmart for $100,000 over the dislocated shoulder he claims employees inflicted on him.
Separately, the Houston Chronicle reported the company paid nearly $750,000 as part of a settlement to the family of a 30-year-old alleged shoplifter who died of a heart attack as employees tried to stop him. (The items he was accused of stealing: a package of diapers, a pair of sunglasses, a BB gun, and a package of BBs.)

Valid or not, appreciable or not, the way I put it atleast has a sensible sequence of thoughts. avainga report paNNadhu completely senselessA irukku. Either Trisha had that senseless sequence of thoughts or something went wrong in the reportage.
Why should I spend so much time on analysing this? Because tabloid journalism is way up my street, and a keen area of interest, that's why.

I saw this film a couple of days back. I liked this film. It is extremely good to see a film on people working in sweat shop conditions. The factual errors may appear but i can give it a long hand. It is a good film. The entire crew has to be applauded for the effort. Acting was good.

இந்த உணர்வைத்தான் நானும் படம் பார்த்த பிறகு உணர்ந்தேன்.
சகிப்புத் தன்மை, நேசம், விடாமுயற்சி, வாழ்க்கையின் மீதான அசராத தன்னம்பிக்கை, "விற்கத் தெரிஞ்சவன் தான் வாழத் தெரிஞ்சவன்" போன்ற எண்ணங்களே படம் முழுவதும் வியாபித்த்து இருக்கிறது.

Thought the movie was awesome, despite the fact that it made me teary in many parts ..
Liked it - for being plain right on, factual and authentic. And, the fact that it wasn't the tiring stereotype Tamil movie that survives solely on glamour and glitz.

Jeymohan wrote after long time in his blog
அங்காடித்தெரு, நூறாவது நாள்
ரம்பநாட்களில் திரையரங்கில் பெரிய சலனத்தை உருவாக்காத காட்சிகளில் ஒன்று கனியின் அப்பா [விக்ரமாதித்தன்] சொல்லும் வசனம். ‘குட்டிகளை தூக்கிட்டுபோய் அங்கங்கே போட்டிட்டு போற நாய் மாதிரி நான் தம்பி..நாய் சென்மம்..’ இப்போது அந்தக் காட்சி பெரிய அளவில் பாதிப்பை உருவாக்குகிறது. அதைப்பற்றித்தான் அதிகம்பேர் பேசினார்கள்.
ஏனென்றால் அந்த அனுபவம் பல பெற்றோர்களுக்கு இருப்பதுதான். பிள்ளைகள் கடுமையாக உழைக்க அந்த பணத்தில் வாழும் நோயாளிப் பெற்றோரின் குரல் அது. நம் சமூகத்தில் நகரங்கள் ஊதிப்பெருத்து தராசின் ஒரு தட்டு கீழே இறங்கிக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.
கிராமங்கள் காலியாகிக்கொண்டே இருக்கின்றன. நகரங்கள் அழுகிக்கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. அந்த யதார்த்ததைச் சொன்ன படம் அங்காடித்தெரு. ‘ஊர்ல வக்கிருந்தா ஏன் இங்க வரப்போறோம்’ என்று படம் சொல்லிக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது- குப்பையாக வீசப்பட்ட தொழிலாளியின் குரலில்.
சென்னையில் பல அரங்குகளில் ஓடுகிறது என்றாலும் நூறாவது நாள் விழா காஞ்சிபுரம் அரங்கு ஒன்றில் நிகழ்கிறது. சென்னையில் படம் ஓடுவது புதிதல்ல. ஆனால் காஞ்சீபுரம் போன்ற ஒரு சிறிய ஊரில் ஒரு படம் நூறுநாள் ஓடுவதென்பது அனேகமாக சாத்தியமே இல்லாத விஷயம். ஆகவே வசந்தபாலனுக்கு அதுதான் பெரும் கௌரவம் என்று பட்டிருக்கிறது .மேலும் இன்னொன்று, தயாரிப்பாளர்களுக்கு பதிலாக திரையரங்க உரிமையாளரே நடத்தும் விழா இது.

ஆரம்பகாலத்தில் இப்படத்தின் துயரக் காட்சிகளை பலர் விமரிசித்தார்கள். நம் வாழ்க்கை இபப்டி இல்லை என இவர்களால் சொல்ல முடியவில்லை. அதை ஏன் காட்ட வேண்டும் என்றுதான் கேட்டார்கள். ஒருவருடம் வெளிவரும் படங்களில் ஒன்றோ இரண்டோதான் இப்படி இருக்கிறது. மிச்ச படங்களெல்லாம் கேளிக்கையை மட்டுமே காட்டுகின்றன. இந்த படமும் அப்படி இருக்கலாகாதா என்பவர்களிடம் என்ன பேச?
intha maathiri ethanai perai naanum parthurukken,mukkimaga pengal
‘இந்த ஒருத்தன் கிட்டயவது மானமா இருந்துக்கறேனே’ என்று கனி சொன்னபோது சத்தம் போட்டு அரங்கில் விசும்பிய ஒர் அம்மாளை திரும்பி மௌனமாக பார்த்துக்கொண்டிருந்தேன்.
அக்கணம் மிக வலுவாக என்ன உணர்ந்தேன் என்றால் நான் அப்படி அவளுடன் சேர்ந்து அழ முடியாது என்பதைத்தான். நான் வாசித்த அத்தனை புத்தகங்களும் சேர்ந்து எனக்கு தடையாக ஆகின்றன

பொதுவாக பெரிய நடிகர்களின்(கமல் ,ரஜினி நீங்கலாக) படங்களை தியேட்டருக்கு சென்று பார்ப்பதை விட ஆதரிக்கப்பட வேண்டிய படங்களை மட்டும் தியேட்டருக்கு சென்று பார்ப்பது சில ஆண்டுகளாக எனது வழக்கம்.
அந்த வரிசையில் அங்காடித் தெரு திரைப்படத்தை தியேட்டரின் சென்று பார்க்காதது இப்போது வருத்தத்தை தருகிறது.
பல பேர் அளவுக்கதிகமான செண்டிமென்ட் காட்சிகள் என சொல்லியிருந்தார்கள் .ஆனால் எனக்கு அப்படி தோன்றவில்லை .
படத்தின் கதைக்களன் , உரையாடல் ,நடிப்பு அனைத்தும் திருப்திகரமாக அமைந்த படம் . கண்டிப்பாக இந்த படம் பலருக்கும் மனதில் பாதிப்பையும் அடித்தட்டு மக்கள் மேல் பரிவையும் கொண்டு வந்திருக்கும் என நம்புகிறேன்.
புதுமுக கதாநாயகன் ,ஏற்கனவே திறமையை நிரூபித்த கதாநாயகி , கதாநாயகனின் தோழராக வரும் தொலைக்காட்சி புகழ் நடிகர் , இயக்குநர் வெங்கடேஷ் , பழ .கருப்பையா அனைவரும் நிறைவான பங்கை அளித்திருக்கிறார்கள்.
நெல்லை மண் வாசனையோடு கிராமத்து காட்சிகள் ,இயல்பு மாறாத முகங்கள் ,மெல்லியதாக இழையோடும் நகைச்சுவை , தேவைக்கு அதிகமில்லாத வசனங்கள் , ரங்கநாதன் தெருவின் சிரமப்பட்டு எடுக்கப்பட்ட காட்சிகள் வசந்தபாலனின் முயற்சியையும் நேர்த்தியையும் மீண்டும் நிரூபிக்கின்றன.
இப்படி ஒரு கதைக்களனை எடுக்கும் துணிச்சலுக்காகவே வசந்தபாலனுக்கு தோள்கொடுக்க தமிழ் ரசிகர்கள் கடமைப்பட்டவர்கள் ..எதிர்பார்த்ததை விட இந்த படத்தை வெற்றிப்படமாக்கிய ரசிகர்களுக்கு வந்தனங்கள்

copy pasting what I posted in the film/docu that made you post thread :
அங்காடித்தெரு
அவ்வளவாகப்பட்டை தீட்டப்படாவிட்டாலும், வைரம் என்பதில் மாற்றுக்கருத்தில்லை
நாயகிக்கு முதல் மதிப்பெண் போட்டியின்றிக்கொடுத்து விடலாம். நாயகனும் மற்ற நடிகர்களும் மிக நன்றாகவே செய்திருக்கிறார்கள்.
பாசிட்டிவ் சிந்தனைகளுக்காக இயக்குநருக்கு ஷொட்டு! இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ப்ரெசென்டேஷனில் (இயல்புத்தன்மை, அழகுணர்ச்சி, இசை போன்றவை) மெச்சப்படுத்தி இருந்தால் காவியம் ஆக்கி இருக்கலாம்.
கண்ணீர் வரவழைக்கும் சோகமிருந்தாலும் படம் முடிந்தபோது மனதில் கனத்த உணர்வில்லை - அது ஒரு விதத்தில் இயக்குநரின் வெற்றியே

Watched the second time within three days (interestingly, my 4 year old can tell all things that're going to happen in the next scene - and she has just watched once...)
Much like some of the 80's Malayalam movies, this film suffers from very poor BGM (at many scenes, I turned the volume so low to get the required feeling from visuals).

HR,
Like I mentioned about the "presentation layer", they possibly had a small confusion as to whether to push the multiple characters and make the "street" as the main theme of the movie or highlight the "love" between the lead characters as the main theme of the movie.
Possibly the influences of JeMo kind of people retained the characters such as the urinal cleaner, ex begger-ex prostitute couple etc - trying to showcase "street" as the theme.
However, possibly the commercial considerations forced the director to finally pivot the movie around Lingu-Kani (which ofcourse made the movie successful)
In any case, with the "Sneha-fan" kind of characters, so lively, one can't complain about too many characters / kutty stories at all

I havent seen the movie yet, but strongly object to the whole notion that is being extended like a law of cinema that there should be a protagonist (or a couple) that a movie should be about.
This hero worship mentality is a big hindrance to conveying larger purpose of a theme. I am half way through pudhu pettai and it struck me - all the movies that have been made fun of thanks to the characterization of the central 'hero' like Naan Kadavul, Pithamagan, Pudhupettai are not about those characters - they act merely as a plot device to focus audience attention to the "World" they open up to. This clever subversion is an act that even ace directors of the past have not been able to pull off. If we regard the "Central hero" or the "lead pair" as a finger pointing to the moon, the object of interest is not the finger, but the moon.
The moon being the strata that is brought to life with all the care and detail. What was being dismissed as just "Mise en scene" is the point the film maker wants us to see and with this new technique (for thamizh cinema) our focus is now the beggar world or the "slave world of ranganathan st" or the "mafia world of pudhu pettai". The central character or lead pair is a "Sum total" of all the experiences (fortunate or unfortunate) that any random character/person undergoes in those worlds.
I now need to revisit "Vennila Kabadi kuzhu" in this new light and see if my theory holds up well.

Watched AT over the week-end. Pretty good film. It had it's "over the top" or "forced" moments but thankfully they were very few of them and didn't quite mar an otherwise well made movie. Unlike "NK", which doesn't carry any inter-personal baggage, "AT" starts off with it's chosen subject but then kind of gradually shifts the focus to it's main characters. The two lead charatcers - did their part very well - nothing more, nothing less.
Kudos to VB. Movies like "AT" will carry Thamizh cinema forward in the right direction!
I have one genuine kostin - is the plight of those hapless workers in the textile stores in T.Nagar is really as bad (as shown in the movie)?

Possibly they got some sponsorship money from HDFC bank as there's an irrelevant ATM scene in a song, showing the bank's name / logo full screen for a couple seconds.
(digression - I heard during the 'taal' days that that movie got almost all the production cost from sponsors -coke, BPL and a bunch of others- and anything it collected from theaters would have been a profit straight away - such was the brand power of Aish / ARR / Anil Kapoor then)

creating interesting sub characters is an art perfected by K. Balachander.
It does not mean that the director is at a loss on what to give prominence.

e.g, One guy is claiming that becos he was working hard (standing for 12 hours everyday) when he was young, he got a serious disease at older age. That is nothing but bullshit!

I think this bit is true. Some bone diseases and heart illnesses caused due to Vitamin B12 deficiency are more common among ppl who worked more than 8 hours a day for weeks and months and years together. Not for any want of reasons that governments and doctors have prescribed 8 hour work day. I think in trying to prove a film maker as a dumb guy - you have rushed into making this statement.

Thats just character-speak and not a scientific analysis. You would have neighbbours and relatives who would blame something for thier ailment - its similar to that.
Having said that, I still think that its plausible. Even those working on the computers face occupational hazards, what more manual labour.

NOV,
If I look at my personal preferences of movie watching, I seem to like movies with many sub-characters / short stories - i.e. in general
Although AT cannot be called quintessential in that act, it still managed to keep the interest in each of them. However, if the lead-pair weren't given the amount of screen time as it is, the movie wouldn't have done this well at TN-BO, IMG
That was smartness on the part of the team!

Fine, I suspect how many people will take the message properly.
Having said that, I still think that its plausible. Even those working on the computers face occupational hazards, what more manual labour.
Long-term disability insurance can only help such people even in developed countries. There are tellers standing 10-12 hours everyday in walmart and other department stores as well. THey dont have choice but standing all the time they work. I have not heard a single law-suit for "jaigense's claim" until today!
When you are working with carcinogens, you have a chance of getting cancer too.
But when you take up the job the first thing they do is, "they are not liable for such and that you agree you know what you are doing" and get that signed and ask you to start your job! There are lot of worst things can happen in other jobs.
Blaming is always easy. Vasanthabalan can do that. So can I!

NOV,
In movies like AT, I care more for BGM than songs (which are unnecessary IMO, except as a way of story telling - to move things faster). I've posted my feelings of the BGM already.
Also the songs of AT, can at best be called average.
Only two got registered in mind - அவள் அப்படி ஒன்றும் அழகில்லை - which stays in mind thanks to the interesting opening line and similar funny negatives (அவள் பட்டுப்புடவை உடுத்தவில்லை etc), and the 'karungAli' song which falls into the "rape" category and stays due to the childish fun of visuals.
Not even the first line of the rest got registered in my mind. I've watched the movie twice and the song scenes a few more times, even then

Ah, the late comer as usual.
My points:
1. Great start, wonderful characters, good expose of the labour exploitation (I believe a bit exaggerated for the drama), and is surefire award material.
2. Too much sad quotient, that somewhere third quarter into the story I got numb, didn't care much or less. In fact, the girls crying at that point got to my nerve, had to be calmed down myself.
3. Awful, awful music! I'd compare this to Naan Kadavul. There is the usual patronising song about suffering, while Ilayaraja moved you in NK, here it sounds phony. Like Sting singing about Pakistan flood victims.
4. Great performances from all the actors. If this is an indication indication where our screen performances is heading, I am very happy.
5. Did I say the music sucked big time?
6. The girl got a bright future, but hey as of now TFI got no place for wonderful actress like her.
7. The dude got a bright future, provided he does some kinda makeover.
8. Director Vasantha Balan did a fantastic job. If he had made it shorter, lesser sad scenes and unnecessary flashback within flashback and that stupid duet, and made it tight, I'd give it 5/5. A perfect film.
9. I think they yanked GVP out of apprenticeship too early. Check out my comments on Irummbukottai.

(படத்தின் முதல் காட்சியிலயே இது தெரிந்து விடுவதால், பெரிய spoiler இல்லை என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.) சாலையோரத்தில் உறங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் மக்களுக்கு ஏற்படும் விபத்து. அந்த இடத்தில் உறங்குபவரின் வாழ்க்கையில் இந்த விபத்து தான் முதல் முட்டுக்கட்டையாக இருந்திருக்குமா என்ன? பிரச்சனை அதுவல்ல.
வாழ்வாதாரங்களுக்குப் போராடும் மக்களின் வாழ்க்கையைக் காட்டும் படம் என்ற பட்சத்தில் இது ஒரு பாராட்டப் பட வேண்டிய படமே. இந்த சூழலில் ஒரு காதல் கதையை மையமாக வைத்துப் புனைவதும் இயல்பே. ஆனால், (பல தமிழ் படக் காதல் கதைகளைப் போல) அவர்கள் வாழ்க்கையை பிரதானப் படுத்தாமல், அவர்களின் 'காதல் கதை என்ன ஆகும்?' என்ற கேள்வியை படம் மீண்டும் மீண்டும் முன்வைக்கிறது. இது எனக்குப் பெரும் சலிப்பை ஏற்படுத்துவதாகவே இருந்தது. ஒரு கட்டத்திற்குப் பிறகு நிகழும் சம்பவங்கள் அனைத்துமே படத்தின் மையமான காதல் கதைக்கு என்ன 'தீங்கு' விளைவிக்கும் என்பதாகவே அமைந்திருப்பதைக் காணலாம்.
எனக்கு அது ஒரு பெரிய பிரச்சினையாகப் படவில்லை.
குறிப்பாக முடிவின் பரஸ்பர நேசத்தைத் தவிற ஜீவாதாரத்துக்கு வேறு வழிமார்க்கம் இல்லை' என்ற நற்செய்தியுடன் முடித்திருந்தார்கள்.
காதல் என்பது வாழ்தல் தானே.
வேலை என்பது வாழ்தலில் சேர்த்தி இல்லாதது தானே!
They are naturally antithetical and for those in the movie it is quite directly underlined.
யோசித்ததற்காகக் கோபித்துக்கொள்ளும் கனியிடம், 'நம்மள மாதிரி ஆளுங்க எந்நேரமும் யோசிச்சிட்டே தான் இருக்கணும்' என்று லிங்கம் சொல்கிறான். அந்தக்கணத்தில் அவன் இயல்புநிலைக்கு ஒவ்வாத (கட்டுப்படியாக) ஒரு கோபத்தைக் காட்டுகிறான். அவளைக் கவர்ந்தது அந்த கோவமா அல்லது அவன் தெளிவாகச் சொன்ன 'பொத்திக்கொண்டு இருக்கவேண்டிய' பொறுப்பா, என்றால் இரண்டும் தான் என்று சொல்ல வைக்கும் காட்சி.
வேலை இல்லையென்றால் பைத்தியம் பிடிக்கும் என்று சௌந்தரபாண்டி சொல்லும் காட்சி மறுபடி அந்த இருமையை அடிக்கோடிடுகிறது. அவன் அந்தக் காட்சியில் வேலையை பணம் சம்பாதிக்கும் ஒரு உபாயமாக மட்டும் சொல்வதாகக் காட்டவில்லை.
ஏதோ ஒரு கட்டத்தில் 'வாழ்தலைத் தேர்ந்தெடுப்பது' நிகழ்கிறது.
நன்முடிவு. சுபம். பட்டப்பழைய ஹாலிவுட்டின் சட்டகம் தான். அதனாலென்ன. கதைக்களன், உரையாடல்கள், slice-of-'their'-life எல்லாம் மிகச்சிறப்பாக வந்திருந்தன.
லாரியேற்றுதல் எல்லாம் இல்லாமல் வெளியே வந்து கூவி விற்பதில் முடிந்திருந்தாலும் ஒரு பழுதும் இல்லை. என்ன அதற்கு ஒரு dramatic தருணம் (மாரியின் அறிவுரை, சீக்காளி அப்பாவின் முடிவு ஆகியவற்றை மீறி இருவர் இணைவது) இல்லாமல் போயிருக்கும்.
'மனுசனை நம்பி கடைபோட்டேன்' என்று - நம்பிக்கை வீண்போகவில்லை - என்று நம்புகிறார் பார்வையற்ற கிழவர். நம்பிக்கை வீண்போனது என்று அவர் எந்நிலையில்தான் கருதுவார்? நம்புவதையும், முயல்வதையும் தவிற வேறு ஒன்றும் செய்வதற்கில்லை - என்பது போல தான் படம் முடிந்தது.

வசனங்களில் சிறப்பென்பது சாதுர்யமாக துருத்திக்கொண்டு தெரியாதவை தான்.
ஒருத்தன்ட்டயாவது, சிரிச்சேன், அவர மாதிரி தான் பொறக்கணும்னு வேண்டிகினேன் - போன்ற ஸ்டார் வசனங்களை விட எனக்குப் பிடித்தவை கவனம் ஈர்க்காமல் காட்சியின் ஓட்டத்திலே இயல்பாக வந்து விழுந்த வசனங்கள் மிகப்பிடித்தன.
அந்த ஊத்தவாயனை தப்பா நெனச்சுட்டோம்....நாளைக்கு ஏசு-அப்பாட்ட மன்னிப்பு கேக்கணும். சோஃபி பேசும் வசனம். "ஏசு அப்பா" (if I heard it right) எனக்குத் தெரிந்து அந்த வட்டாரத்திற்கே உரிய பிரயோகம்.
மாரிமுத்துவின் வசனங்கள் - அந்தப் பையன் (பேர் என்னங்க?) நடிப்பு ரெண்டுமே சிறப்பு.
செல்வராணி குதிக்கும் முன் பேசும் கோபாவேச வசனம் படத்தின் உச்சம்.
இடைவேளைக்குப் பின் வரும் காட்சிக்கோவையும் சிறப்பானது: கோலம் கழுவப்படுகிறது, மாறுகிறது, கண்ணாடி மாறுகிறது. உலகம் நகர்ந்துசெல்கிறது.
சவுந்தரபாண்டியும், லிங்குவும் மூடிய கடையின் வாசலில் பேசும் காட்சியும் அதுபோலவே.
மேலே உள்ள இடுகையில் சொல்லியிருந்த "நம்மள மாதிரி இருக்கவங்க..யோசிச்சிட்டே தாண்டீ இருக்கணும்" சிறப்பான வசனம். இதை அமைதியாக பேசியிருந்தால் எடுபட்டிருக்காது. அது சொல்லப்பட்ட விதம் அதைச் சிறப்பாக்கியது.
"இந்தாடீ அம்பது ரூபா" என்கிற மாமியிடம் "வேண்டாம்" என்று சொன்னவுடன் "வேணாம்னா போ" என்கிறாள்.
தனது பெருந்தன்மையான தானம்(!) புறந்தள்ளப்படுவதைத் தாளாமல் சீமாட்டி last-word-ஐத் தக்கவைத்துக் கொள்ள செய்யும் முயற்சி அது. புறக்கணிப்பு சுருக்கென்று குத்த வன்மம் தொனியில் மட்டும் தெரிக்கும் வசனத்துண்டு. ஒரு முதலாளி கெட்ட வார்த்தையில் திட்டுகிறார், அடிக்கிறார். ஒருவர் அப்படி எல்லாம் செய்யாத decent-ஆனவர். ஆனால் அதே வன்மம் தான்.
இது caricature என்று படம் வந்த புதிதில் பலர் சொன்ன நினைவு. எனக்கு அப்படி எல்லாம் தோன்றவில்லை.
அஞ்சலியும் சரி, அந்தப் பையனும் சரி மிகச்சிறப்பாக நடித்திருந்தனர். கிட்டத்தட்ட எல்லாருமே. சரியான முகங்களை தேர்வு செய்யும் பொழுது பொதுவாக நடிப்பு என்பது சிரமமில்லாத காட்சிகளில் இயல்பாகவும், சிரமமான காட்சிகளில் நமது மன்னிக்கும் மனப்பான்மையை நம்பியும் இருக்கும் (i.e. they pick a non-professional to get you to appreciate the natural, unstudied manner. Then when they are found wanting in a demanding scene they expect the audience to cut some slack as the cast comprises non-professionals). ஆனால் அங்காடித் தெருவில் best of both the worlds நிகழ்ந்ததாகத் தான் தோன்றுகிறது. மாரிமுத்துவின் ஒரு சில தருணங்கள் ஒழிய எங்குமே மிகை இல்லை. இவ்வளவு 'அட்சரம் பிசகாத' நடிப்பு பார்க்கக் கிடைப்பது அரிது. காதல், வெ.க.குழுவில் கூட ஒரு சில வினாடிகள் அங்கிங்கு timing-miss ஆனதை உணர முடிந்தது.
வசந்தபாலனின் அரவானை ஆவலுடன் எதிர்நோக்கலாம்.

நன்றி P_R. எனக்கும் அந்த வசனங்கள் தான் இன்னும் மனதில் ஓடிக்கொண்டே இருக்கு. காலம் கடந்து நிற்கக்கூடிய வசனங்கள் செல்வராணியுடையது. இன்னொரு காட்சியில் "கீழ வுழுந்தது அவளோட பொணம் மட்டுமெ! மனசு அப்போவே செத்துப் போச்சி!" என்ற ரீதியில் கனி பெசும் வசனமும் உருக வைத்தது. கடைசியா கனியின் தந்தையா வருகிற விக்ரமாதித்யனின் வசனங்களும் இயல்பா இருந்தது.

I don't know if I have a stronger stomach or less of the rage of Caliban seeing its own face, but I didn't find Angadi Theru unbearably sad. The director is quite restrained about showing the details of death, sexual harassment etc., the manager is treated with comedy at times, the protagnists survive with their love and high spirits intact and the jalra gets a Sneha-ex-machina.
Coincidentally I saw School on Fire around the same, it is a better movie with some of the same themes (young love, working class life), but it shows much more of the grime of life and the helplessness of its working class characters. (It also has a much more cinematic ending that Angadi Theru, but the catharsis is needed.) I wonder why HK audiences are more tolerant of sadness.

On the balance, the positives outweigh the negatives. Quite glad I caught this movie, finally.
To be frank, I started watching with a lot of Maddy-type cynicism.
Anjali is awesome. Meera Jasminekappuram thennindhiya thirai ulagil nadipu thiranil nalla tharamAna nadigai.
The performances were all uniformly good.
What I found difficult to grapple with was the overwhelming flood of events, anecdotes and philosophical ditties.
But the director let most of the moments be, aided by good acting and dialogues, and that carried the movie through very well.

I was being a bit mischevious in posting it, but it was a refreshing change from the usual complaining that Angadi Theru overdid the sadness. It was also interesting to me that someone non-Tamil had taken a critical interest in Angadi Theru, that too from a Dalit-centric perspective, as well as to note what did not come through to a non-Tamil viewer.
If you read the comments at the end, you will find diverse reactions which are a bit more interesting that wilting over its "hatred".

"Use"? "Most despicable manner ever"? Holy dastardly deeds, Batman! I asked because the only people I know who write "thots" are pre-teen girls and Balaji, I didn't ask your caste nor am I going to offer mine.
There is more to his piece than caste; for one thing, he criticizes the tragedies for the depoliticized response of the characters.
There are many parallel discussions that go on on the net, I posted the review to mix things up a bit. Or maybe it is all the Riddler's plan to drive you to your chaise longue in horror.

NOV, many sociocultural analyses of films are on these lines. Overreading at a chosen angle is the characteristic of these academic papers. They are not meant to be simple, middle-of-the road reviews that would interest us.
And anyway he got some sobering comments.

Not that he seems to have understood the film or the comments he has received. Without going into the politics, a completely wrong reading of the film. If you go into the politics, it is far more complex than the simplisrtic narratives pt forward by him. Idhukku andha sairabanu-shagird academic papaerE theVala

As the header of the repost states, it was originally a post at
Roundtable India, though I read it at the link I provided. It was a forum post, just as your post is and mine is.
I don't see why you are bringing in "academic papers," the tone alone, nevermind the misreading of Nadars, the lack of academic apparatus or venue, would exclude this from being an academic paper.
@Plum, the author of the review does not comment at all at the link I posted, so he could not display any (non)understanding of the comments. I think it's true that the film is more complex, the remark on the lack of awareness of organized politics is interesting though. The media is presented as the one social sector capable of countering the store owner's actions, but the subject is not really engaged withl.

Oh ok. My bad...I assumed RoundTable was some academic conference where this essay was presented.
My take: I am usually quite befuddled by papers that analyze films as some social phenomenon. Not that they are not. But these analyses start out with their readings and end up posing 'have you stopped beating your wife' questions at the filmmakers.
Heck, even aesthetic interpretations very divergent from what can reasonably be stated to be the maker's reach is something that does not interest me.
For instance take the academic paper Jai posted in the Director's thread. That sort usually raises two sorts of questions in me
a) Something is undeniably in the film. But one can be reasonably sure that the maker had no clue it could be read in such a way. Does that make the reading 'invalid' ? (My saying 'it does not interest me' is as bit escapist, but largely true that it does not interest me if I am not reasonably sure it can from the artist himself)
b) Do the theoretical abstract ideas become 'valid' by their mere presentation? Unlike empirical science papers where there is a clear direction and logical basis, here you only have 'readings', So, what are the 'tools' with which counterarguments can be made.
Perhaps we can sift this discussion to the Best Dir. thread so polling public can vote in peace!

What academic conferences do you go to someone can start off describing a movie as a casteist timebomb? Not that I make it a habit, but in my experience, they begin with prayers to Derrida and Lacan.
I have been irked by all the people complaining that Angadi Theru is too sad, I think one of the weaknesses of Tamil cinema -- in dramatic, aesthetic terms, please note -- is the shrinking away from grime and grief. B. Rangan's Angadi Theru review, fulminating over how unrealistically cruel the heroine's sister's treatment is, made my hackles rise. I think I mentioned that I saw School on Fire around the same time I saw Angadi Theru and was really wistful at how much better a movie it is, because it is more unflinching.
But Rupesh Kumar's review, coming from quite a different direction, made me think a bit about whether Angadi Theru is "too" sad. If people are so horrified by his deployment of caste that they can't bear to read his argument with care, that is unfortunate.
