What's wrong with the trailer?
I agree Arya does look funny with short hair, Amy looks good, sets and costumes loo authentic.
I think I will watch this film, 'purely' for the 'Different' effect from th eusual masala craps we are seeing these days....

What I meant was, in Tamil Films, when you say 'I love you' or 'I hate you', it has that 'Indian' accent embedded in it, so Obviously the heroine being a 'Fish & chips' would find it hard to pronounce in the 'Indian ' accent

From: sathya_1979 on 6th July 2010 08:39 PM [Full View]
Why shud she stick to Indian accent? Being an Englishwoman in the film I don't think she would have been made to talk in so-called "Indian Accent".

I hope Arya will not suthapify the Pilim , his 'Naan Kadavul' was awsome, but he had an 'Ace' director for that film, but the same can not be said about this film director, so much will depend on Arya's acting, that worries me

First review On Indiaglitz
Madrasapattinam Movie Review
Madrasapattinam - Madras talkies
[Thursday, July 08, 2010]
Young filmmaker Vijay, who has stepped out of filmmaker Priyadharshan’s school, has made his mentor proud. If ‘Siraichalai’ was considered a master pierce from Priyan, his protégé has proved with ‘Madarsapattinam’ that he is equally skilled.
The movie is set in the1940s when the Britishers were about to leave the Indian soil. The crux of the film is about an innocent and valorous Tamil youth falling in love with the daughter of the English Governor.
The troubles and turmoil that their romance face and what transpired between the young White girl and the Tamil youth on the day of Indian independence have been dealt clearly and crisply with a touch of political background, laced with patriotism.
Though shades of ‘Titanic’ could not be avoided in this period film, it is a sincere and a worthy attempt with the whole cast contributing their might, ably supported by sound technical brillance behind the screen.
The Madras then has been craftily recreated by art director Selva Kumar. The dhobikhana, the waterways at Buckingham canal, which were used for ferrying, the Central Station and its platforms, trams and the royal Government houses of the British era have been erected close to perfection.
What more, the lens of Nirav Shah has been at its best capturing them well on screen. The lights and shades, the colour tone and the difference in flashback and contemporary on screen hog all limelight thanks to the cinematographer. His work is one of the assets of the film.
Manohar Verma’s stunts are pulsating and racy. Especially the chase at the Central Station is astounding. Antony’s editing as usual peps up the proceedings, though he could have trimmed a little in the second half. However his scissors seems to have woked with a purpose.
But the scene-stealer is young G V Prakash Kumar. He has come up trumps with the songs that reflect the time. What more, the background score is apt for the movie. At places, he reminds one of maestro Ilayaraja. He has shown a lot of promise and ‘Madarsapattinam’ is sure to take him places. The sorrow of a woman missing her lover has been brought out well by Prakash’s background score.
The movie begins more like Titanic as an old English woman (Emy Jackson) almost at her death bed in London, wants to come down to Chennai in search of a young man Parithi (Arya) whom she last saw on 15 August, 1947.
Almost 60 years from then, she is clueless as she has just a picture of Parithi, which was taken then. The search begins. There are scenes where she recalls her past. It is revealed that Parithi was a valorous dhobi in Madarasapattinam. He revolts against the British officials for they plan to construct a golf course in their dhobikhana.
Comes Emi, daughter of Madras Presidency Governor, and she develops an affinity towards Parithi. She is friendly and helpful. Sequence of events leaves romance blossoming between them. Parithi calls her affectionately as Duraiamma.
Even as they face trouble from the angry White officials, comes 15 August 1947 which brings freedom to India. Duraiamma is now forced to go back to England. Parithi runs from pillar to post and fights to hold his sweetheart’s hands. But he couldn’t achieve his mission. Cut to present, Duraiamma is back in search of Parithi. Did she realise her mission forms the climax.
Arya excels in his role. He fits the role to T. Be it an angry youth voicing against the Whites or a romantic youngster running around to save his beloved, he is right there giving his best. Emy Jackson walks away with aplomb. Her spontaneous expressions are the highlight. For a foreigner to give right emotions in a Tamil film is no easy task. But she does the impossible with ease.
Cochin Haneefa’s one-liners are rib-tickling. The rest of the cast including Nasser, Balasingh, M S Baskar, Balaji, Kishore and Jeeva are adequate. English man Jack James as a greedy British cop is an apt choice.
Vijay has shown immense maturity in taking up such a difficult theme and working it out well with right entertaining and engrossing elements. His nose for minute details is worth mentioning. His adept screenplay and catchy screenplay work out right magic.
Produced by Kalpathy Brothers’ AGS Entertainment and presented by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Red Gaint Movies, ‘Madarasapattinam’ is a movie to cherish for movie-buffs. Away from the madding crowd of commercial clichés, it is a film that would send positive vibes among those who love meaningful films.

Just returned from the movie
In one word, it is AWESOME.
After Nayakan and Pesum Padam, this one is easily among the very best of tamil movies I have seen in the last two decades.
the movie has its own share of flaws, but they are very minimal and can be (should be) ignored.
Screenplay is very good with very few loopholes or loose ends, cinematography is fantastic, acting by lead characters is very good, BGM blends neatly with the scenes, action sequences use ONLY the native fighting styles, with no influence of Karate/judo (and the action sequences look so realistic and believable, an unlikely feature with Tamil cinema), art direction and the SFX works were fantastic.
comparisons with 'Titanic' and 'Lagaan' are bound to happen. Especially some critics might say the entire story is a cross between Titanic and Lagaan. but even then, how many people can successfully transform such 'inspirations' into a coherent, neat and entertaining script?
Great work by the entire team.

Date : 09/07/2010
Venue : Cineworld , UK
Cinema screen hall capacity : 125
Attendance :30 (highest I have seen on a 'week day' after Shivaji and Dasa)
I went into the hall, there were 4 girls sitting there two Tamils, One African and one English, so I thought I must have come for the wrong movie and went out to the Ticket counter to check again, and it was the right screen.
Thought to my self, hmm Vellaikara ponnum Africa ponnum thamizh padam ellam paakuranga !
I went with a neutral feeling, as it was Arya's movie with virtually an Unknown Director (well for me any way)
When the film with it's glories sets and the beautiful Amy appeared I was just , excellent story telling with 'natural acting' well as the heroine was English, natural acting was bound to come
It is probably the second best to VTV in my recent memories, much better than Ravanan It resembled Titanic a bit, esp the 'Love' scenes between Arya and Amy!
I would watch this again on Cinema, if I get the chance, (already regretting for not seeing VTV in cinema
)
+vs
1) Amy - Innocently beautiful :P, natural acting
2) Old lady's acting
3) Arya was natural and convincing
4)GVP 's BGM and Songs, much better than Ravanan's BGM and songs!!!
5)all the sets, and art work, costumes etc all superb!
-Vs
1) Dubbing has gone a bit weird
2) Sorry to say this, I know Hanifaa passed away( ) but he was irritating with his comedy!
Apart from that no other flaws

I felt the film was very amateurish giving lots to be hypercritical about, including the acclaimed art direction.
But due to, thamizh cinema-vula ivvaLavu dhaan mudiyin, kalaignargaLai aadharikkaNum etc. type reasons, one can call it quite a passable effort.

Nice to see the immensely talented 'Lollu sabha' Jeeva getting some good screen space. But would nt be satisfied unless the guy becomes a solo comedian or at least a well recognised character artiste. he deserves nothing less.

Mountbatten was Governer General only till 1948 (he was succeeded by Rajaji, who till then served as Governor of West Bengal).
In June 1947 Mountbatten drafted the independence/partition plan which largely became the Indian Independence Act passed in mid June itself by the UK parliament. And if I am not wrong, the date: 15th August was decided back then itself.

PR, if i am right, the month was decided much earlier but the exact date very late. Yeah, I agree there were inaccuracies in the movie in the lines of 'Gandhiji is expected to arrive in the capital' when actually he was on a fast at Naokhali, Bengal. lets ignore all these side issues as they dont directly affect the story's progression in any way.

It's not about the details as much as the staging of the scene itself. That was the feel of the film throughout for me.
Of course it is 'different' from the run of the mill films we get here in TFI. No denying that. But that's pretty much all I am inclined to say about it.

Review
Trailer
After a string of decent flicks, mostly remakes, director Vijay is back with a period, pre-colonial love drama that brings the charm of Chennai that was Madras to the fore. Arya and Amy Jackson play the lead in the movie that focuses less on the freedom struggle and more on their love affair.
Trade Talk:
The movie opened this weekend to full houses, and advance booking business was brisk.
Public Talk:
The movie is generating largely positive reviews and sustaining the interest is only a matter of time.
No. Days Completed: 3
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 212
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 92%
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 52,08,160
Verdict: Good Opening

What I find quite hard to understand (it is possible, but very rare) is that, a white women, that too the daughter of the governor falls in love with an Indian boy. Like I said it is possible but very rare
I have been bought in UK, I very rarely see an Indian guy falling in love (I am talking about Real love, not lust) with a white /black or any other girl from a different ethnic background.
What I even find harder to believe is during the British rule, Indians were treated as slaves or 2nd class citizens, and they were looked upon like low cast slaves. This is why I find it even harder understands!

Kumudam review
தமிழ் சினிமா உலகில் மீண்டும் ஒரு வித்தியாசமான முயற்சி ‘மதராசபட்டினம்.’
ஏறத்தாழ, காலச் சக்கரத்தில் நம்மை உட்கார வைத்து, 1945ல் சென்னை எப்படி இருந்தது என்பதை உயிர்ப்பித்துக் காட்டுகிறார்கள்.
கூவம் ஆற்றை சென்னையின் தேம்ஸ் நதி என்ற ரேஞ்சுக்குக் காட்டுவது சென்னைக்குப் பெருமை.அன்றைய கூவம் நதியில் பிரிந்துபோன காதலன் பரிதியைத் தேடி கையில் ஒற்றைத் தாலியுடன் லண்டனில் இருந்து இன்றைய சென்னைக்கு வருகிறார் 85 வயது எமி. சென்னை முழுக்கத் தேடுகிறார். 2010 கூவத்தைப் பார்த்ததும் 1945க்குப் பயணிக்கிறார்.கூடவே நம்மையும் அன்றைய மதராசபட்டினத்திற்குள் நடக்கவிடுவது பரவசம்.
ஆங்கிலேயர்கள் நாட்டைவிட்டுக் கிளம்பும் தருணம். இந்தச் சூழலிலா சென்னை கவர்னர் மகளான எமிக்கும் வண்ணாரப்பேட்டை சலவைத் தொழிலாளி மகன் ஆர்யாவுக்கும் காதல் பூக்க வேண்டும் என்று நம் மனது அடித்துக் கொள்கிறது.எமிக்கும் வெள்ளைக்கார போலீஸ் அதிகாரிக்கும் நிச்சயம் செய்து மோதிரம் மாற்றும் போது நம் பீபி எகிறுகிறது.
எமி-ஆர்யா காதல் கவர்னருக்குத் தெரியவரும்போது நம் லப்டப் கூடுகிறது. ஆர்யாவை அழித்தெடுக்க கவர்னரும் போலீஸ் அதிகாரியும் நடத்தும் திட்டத்தை ஆர்யா தவிடுபொடியாக்கும்போது மனசு கொஞ்சம் ஆறுதலடைகிறது.
நாடு விடுதலை அடையும் நாளுக்கு முதல் நாள். எமியை மதராஸில் இருந்து லண்டன் அனுப்ப முயற்சிக்கும்போது ஆர்யாவைப் போலவே நமக்கும் பதற்றம். காதலர்கள் அதை முறியடித்து இணைகிறார்கள். இணைந்தபின்னர் ஏன் பிரிகிறார்கள் என்பதுதான் மீதிக் கதை. அந்த மீதி ரொம்பவே ரப்பர் இழுவை.ஒரு முக்கால் மணி நேரத்தை கத்திரி போட்டிருந்தால் தேவலை.
பழைய ஸ்பென்ஸர், மௌண்ட்ரோடு, ஜட்கா வண்டி, ட்ராம் ஓடுவது, பழைய சென்ட்ரல் ரயில்நிலையம், மணிக்கூண்டு, கூவம் ஆறு, சலவை செய்யும் இடங்கள், குஸ்தி சண்டை, போலீஸ் அதிகாரி சுதந்திர வேட்கை கொண்ட இளைஞர்களை சுட்டுத் தள்ளும் கொடூரம் இப்படி ஒவ்வொன்றையும் தேடிப்பிடித்து பிரமாண்டமாக திரைவடிவமாக்கியிருக்கிறார்கள்.
பரிதி என்ற டோபி இளைஞனாக ஆர்யா.அலட்டல் இல்லாத நடிப்பு. சுதந்திரத்திற்காக ஏங்கும் இந்திய இளைஞனாக, குஸ்தி பயில்வானாக, எமியின் காதலனாக என்று பன்முகம் காட்டுகிறார். நாடே விடுதலைக்காக மகிழ்ந்திருக்கும்போது,எமி தன்னைவிட்டுப் பிரிந்துவிடுவாளோ என்று மருகும் இடங்கள் டாப்.
கதாநாயகி எமி ஜாக்ஸன் கொள்ளை அழகு.துளி ஆபாசம் கூட கலக்காத கவர்ச்சி. காதலன் பரிதிக்காக ஏங்கும் இடங்களும் அவனைக் காப்பாற்ற போராடும் இடங்களும் தேர்ந்த நடிப்பு.
நாசர், எம்.எஸ்.பாஸ்கர், பாலாசிங், வி.எம்.சி. ஹனீபா (இறப்பு பேரிழப்பு), ஜாக்ஜேம்ஸ் என்று பலரும் கதையை உணர்ந்து நடித்திருப்பது பெரிய பலம்.
படத்தின் மிகப் பெரிய தூண் நீரவ் ஷாவின் ஒளிப்பதிவும் செல்வக்குமாரின் கலையும்தான்.ஒருவர் அந்தக் கால மதராசபட்டினத்தை செதுக்கியிருக்கிறார்.இன்னொருவர் கண்முன் உயிரோட்டமாய் காட்டியிருக்கிறார்!
ஜி.வி. பிரகாஷ்குமாரின் இசையும் சரி, நா. முத்துக்குமாரின் பாடல் வரிகளும் சரி, கதையோட்டத்தை உள்வாங்கிய முயற்சி. ‘பூக்கள் பூக்கும் தருணம்...’ நல்ல மெலோடி.
ஒரு வரலாற்றை திரும்பிப் பார்க்க வைத்த முயற்சிக்காக இயக்குநர் விஜய்யைப் பாராட்டலாம். அவரது முந்தைய படங்களைவிட இதில் உழைப்பு கூடுதல். ஒரு படமாக மட்டும் கொண்டு செல்லாமல் அதில் ஒரு ஆழமான காதலையும் புகுத்தியிருப்பது நல்ல பதிவு. முதல் பாதி பிரமிப்பை, பிற்பாதியில் தவறவிட்டது குறையே. கதையில் ‘டைட்டானிக்’ வாசனையையும் படத்தின் நீளத்தையும் குறைத்திருக்கலாம். இருந்தாலும் மதராசபட்டினம் புதிய முயற்சியே!.
மதராசபட்டினம்:சரித்திரப்பட்டினம்!

Madarasapattinam -- one of the best movies I have ever seen
watched it yesterday in Satyam... first half is too good whereas the second half is a bit lengthy though I don't have any complains... as many reviews mentioned, it has his own share of resemblance with Titanic...
Performance -- Arya - neatly done.. he did NOT have much scope either, Amy Jackson -- She is the show stealer...acted very well.. her eyes
Haneefa When amy jackson wanted to tour madara... with Arya, his reaction for "I" "Why?".... we miss you sir
Nassar, Bala Singh & Others -- well done
Technically also, a very good film with Nirav Shah / Selva Kumar.... Songs are OK.. Pookkal Pookkum & Vaama Duriyamma... few songs are NOT at all needed esp the first song in the second half... BGM is also good.. theme music is very similar to AO's Celebration of Life...
Second half Chasing scenes could have been trimmed....
Last but NOT the least, Director Vijay -- milestone in his career....
P.S: nethu Director Vijayum vandhirundhaar... avarai valaichu valaichu photo eduthannaga... Maniratnam / Suhasini -- Lamhaa previewkku vandhirundhaanga.. romba casuala vandhaanga...first time, ivlo closea cine stars paarthathu , also, Abbas with this wife... Satyamla working dayla second show pona niraya VIPya paakkalam pola...

of course if you care enough, you can dig up many issues. even the best of hollywood movies have them (like a watch in 10 commandments).
but really, nothing stood out irritatingly.
the choice of actors is excellent. arya needs to act in these kind of movies, where he fits to a T.
All the english actors were good.

சினிமா வாழும் வரை மதராசப்பட்டினம் படம் பேசப்படும்-கே.பாலச்சந்தர் புகழாரம்
இதுவரை நான் பார்த்த தலை சிறந்த பத்து திரைப்படங்களில் நிச்சயம் மதராசப்பட்டினத்திற்கும் இடம் உண்டு. என்ன ஒரு சினிமா!. மாபெரும் கலை விருந்தாக அமைந்துள்ளது மதராசப்பட்டினம் என்று புகழாரம் சூட்டியுள்ளார் இயக்குநர் கே.பாலச்சந்தர்.
விஜய்யின் இயக்கத்தில் உருவாகியுள்ள மதராசப்பட்டினம் அனைத்துத் தரப்பினரையும் கவர்ந்து சிறப்பாக ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறது. இப்படத்தை இயக்குநர் கே.பாலச்சந்தர் வெகுவாக பாராட்டியுள்ளார். இதுதொடர்பாக இயக்குநர் விஜய்க்கு அவர் நீண்ட கடிதம் ஒன்றை அனுப்பியுள்ளார்.
கடிதத்தின் சாராம்சம்...
அட்டன்பரோவின் காந்தி அனைவருக்கும் ஒரு உத்வேகத்தைக் கொடுத்தது. மங்கள் பான்டே ஆத்தன்டிக்கான படம். லகான் ஒரு சாகச உணர்வைக் கொடுத்தது. அதேசமயம், உங்களது மதராசப்பட்டினம் பிரமிக்க வைத்துள்ளது.
இப்படத்தின் சாதாரண விளம்பரம் முதல், அனைத்து புரமோக்களும் இது ஒரு பீரியட் படம் என்பதை கட்டியம் கூறின படத்தின் தொடக்கக் காட்சி லண்டனில் விரியும்போது, ஒரு அழகான வயதான பெண்ணிலிருந்து தொடங்கும் காட்சியும், அப்படியே ஒரு இளம் பெண்ணின் காலிலிருந்து காட்சி தொடருவதும் பிரமாதமான கலைநயம், மாபெரும் கலை விருந்து.
உங்களது நாயகியைப் பற்றி நான் கொஞ்சம் சொல்ல வேண்டும். அவர் திரையில் நடந்து வரும் காட்சியின்போது வெளிப்படையாக சொல்கிறேன் எனது மனம் துள்ளிக் குதித்தது. ஒரு நாயகியின் முகத்தில் அழகும், புத்திசாலித்தனமும் ஒருசேர துள்ளித் திரிந்ததை நீண்டகாலத்திற்குப் பிறகு இப்போதுதான் நான் பார்க்கிறேன்.
அவரது நடை, அதிகாரபீடத்தின் ஆணவம், புத்திசாலித்தனம் என எல்லாவற்றையும் மிக அழகாக வெளிப்படுத்தியுள்ளார் படத்தின் நாயகி. இளம் பெண் முதல் பாட்டி வயது வரையிலான அனைத்து காட்சிகளையும் மிக நுட்பமாக நடித்துள்ளார். மிகவும் அசாதாரணமான நடிப்பு அது.
மல்யுத்தப் போட்டியை அவர் பார்க்கும் காட்சியில் நான் மிகவும் வியந்து போனேன். மணலில் ஒரு ஸ்டூலில் அமர்ந்து, தலையைச் சாய்த்தபடி, முகத்தை கூர்மையாக வைத்துக் கொண்டு, தலை முடி கலையாமல் ரசித்துப் பார்த்தபடி, எந்தவித சலனமும் இல்லாமல், தனது உணர்வுகளை கண்களில் மட்டும் வெளிப்படுத்தும் அக்காட்சியில், அவரது நடிப்பு மிகுந்த வியப்பைக் கொடுத்தது.
நீங்கள் நினைப்பதை உங்களது நடிகர்களுக்கு சரியாக புரிய வைக்கக் கூடிய கம்யூனிகேஷன் ஸ்கில் உங்களிடம் நிறைய இருப்பதை அந்த ஒரு காட்சியின் மூலம் நான் புரிந்து கொண்டேன்.
உங்களது கேமராமேன், காஸ்ட்யூமர், கலை இயக்குநர், உங்களது திறமை என அனைத்தும் சேர்ந்து ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியையும் பிரமாதப்படுத்தியுளள்ளது. ஒவ்வொரு பிரேமிலும் அழகு நடமாடுகிறது.
உங்களது நாயகியை, சோபியா லாரன், கிரேஸ் கெல்லிக்கு இடையில் வைக்கலாம். ஒரு நாள் அவர் ஹாலிவுட்டில் மிகப் பெரிய ஸ்டாராக வருவார்.
சாதாரண ஆர்யா, நடிகர் ஆர்யாவாக இதில் உருமாறியுள்ளார். உங்களது கேரக்டர் அவரை சிறந்த நடிகராக காட்டியிருக்கிறது. அவருடைய திறமையை அவருக்கே புரிய வைத்துள்ளது. தனது பாத்திரத்தை மிகச் சரியாக செய்துள்ளார் ஆர்யா. நீங்கள் தேர்வு செய்துள்ள ஒவ்வொரு நடிகரும், நடிகையும் சிறந்த முறையில் பங்காற்றியுள்ளனர்.
படத்தில் வரும் கழுதைகள் கூட அழகாக இருக்கிறது. ஒருவேளை அதற்கும் போட்டோ செஷன் வைத்து தேர்வு செய்தீர்களோ என்னவோ! அவ்வளவு அழகாக இருக்கின்றன அவை.
படத்தில் பங்காற்றியுள்ள ஒவ்வொரு டெக்னீஷியனும் கதையோடு ஒன்றிப் போயிருக்கிறார்கள். உங்களையும், உங்களது கலைஞர்களையும் பாராட்டுவதோடு, இப்படிப்பட்ட வாய்ப்பையும்,உங்கள் மீது பெரும் எதிர்பார்ப்பையும் வைத்து நம்பிக்கையுடன் உங்களை சுதந்திரமாக செயல்பட விட்ட உங்களது தயாரிப்பாளர் கல்பாத்தி அகோரத்தையும் பாராட்டாமல் இருக்க முடியாது.
படத்தில் வரும் கிராபிக்ஸ் காட்சிகள் முழுமையாக, நிறைவாக உள்ளன. தேவைக்கு அதிகமாக எதுவுமே இல்லை. இதில் வரும் சென்னை நான் 17 வயதில் பார்த்த சென்னை. அப்போதெல்லாம் நீங்கள் பிறந்திருக்கவே மாட்டீர்கள். ஆனாலும், எனது நினைவுகளும், உங்களது கற்பனையும், அப்படியே ஒத்துப் போகின்றன. அந்த அளவுக்கு தத்ரூபம் இருப்பது மிகப் பெரிய ஆச்சரியம்.
என்ன ஒரு சினிமா, எழுந்து நின்று சல்யூட் செய்ய விரும்புகிறேன். மிகச் சிறந்த முயற்சி இது விஜய்.
படத்தின் இசை மிகவும் ரம்மியமாக உள்ளது. படத்தின் மூடுக்கேற்ற இசை. ஒரு காதல் கதைக்கு ஏற்ற இசை. ஒரு படத்தின் நாயகனையும், நாயகியையும், அவர்களின் காதலையும் மிக அழகாக காட்டியிருப்பது நீண்ட நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகு இதில்தான் என்று கருதுகிறேன்.
உங்களிடம் நிறைய திறமை உள்ளது. அதை எந்தக் காரணத்தைக் கொண்டும் விட்டு விடாதீர்கள். எதைச் சொல்ல விரும்புகிறீர்களோ அதை அப்படியே சொல்லுங்கள், பாதை மாறிப் போய் விடாதீர்கள். படம் முடிந்து, விளக்குகள் போட்டு, அனைவரும் கிளம்பிச் சென்ற பின்னரும் கூட எனது மனதில் உங்கள் படம் நீண்ட நேரமாக நிழலாடிக் கொண்டிருந்தது. எனது இதயம் முழுதும் உங்களது படம்தான் ஓடிக் கொண்டிருந்தது.
நான் இதுவரை பார்த்த தலை சிறந்த பத்து திரைப்படங்களில் நிச்சயம் மதராசப்பட்டினமும் ஒன்று.
விஜய், நீங்கள் இந்திய சினிமாவை நிச்சயம் மேலும் ஒரு படி உயர்த்துவீர்கள் என்பதை நான் உறுதியாகச் சொல்கிறேன்.
ஆஸ்கர் விருது கிடைத்தால்தான் ஒரு படம் தலை சிறந்தது என்ற குறுகிய கருத்தை நான் ஒருபோதும் ஆதரிப்பதில்லை. அந்தவிருதைப் பெறும் படம்தான் உலகின் தலை சிறந்த படைப்பு என்பதிலும் எனக்கு உடன்பாடு கிடையாது. என்னைப் பொறுத்தவரை, எந்தப்படம் காலத்தையும், தலைமுறைகளையும் தாண்டி நிற்கிறதோ, பேசப்படுகிறதோ அதுவே மிகச் சிறந்த படைப்பு.
அந்த அடிப்படையில், அந்தத் தகுதியில் பார்த்தால் மதராசப்பட்டினம் சினிமா வாழும் வரை பேசப்படும், நீடித்து நிற்கும்.
இந்தப் படத்துடன் தொடர்புடைய ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் எனது பாராட்டுக்களையும், வாழ்த்துகளையும் தெரிவியுங்கள் என்று கூறியுள்ளார் கே.பாலச்சந்தர்.

Prank call for Amy Jackson
P Sangeetha, TNN, Aug 12, 2010
Looks like pretty girl Amy Jackson was petrified throughout the shoot of Madrassapattinam. Reason? Well, namma Arya was blackmailing her using a thali.
Now, don’t get it wrong. The story goes like this. Apparently, before shooting the scene where Arya ties the thali around Amy’s neck, Amy had asked Arya what the significance of the thali was. And the prankster that Arya is, he told her that if he tied it around her neck, she would become his wife and she will not be able to go back to the UK.
So, whenever Arya needed to get something done from Amy during the shoot, he would just tell her that he would tie the thali and Amy would instantly agree. Now, that looks like a smart move, Arya!

Finally watched the film.
The film was good but I expected more from it. My mistake. Maybe I would have enjoyed it better if only i had watched it without any expectations.
Arya has a good physique, and he looked good in the wrestling scenes. I don't know if that's what people meant when they claim that he fits the role like a T. Because apart from having a well-toned body, I really can't say much about him. He has only one expression throughout the film...actually he has only one expression throughout all his films. Acting wise, not much of an improvement from his earlier films. Seriously, this guy failed to impress me.
Amy Jackson is beautiful, and she's pretty good in acting too. The boat scenes where she speaks Tamil for the first time No complaints, she's the right choice for this character.
Haniffa was funny- "I have 5 mother tongues" and the translations he gives during Duraiamma song
Nassar on the other hand, could have avoided this role. There wasn't much for him to do anyway. Out of curiosity, was he this fat in all other films, or has he gained weight for this role?
Music is nice. I don't know if Yuvan or other MDs would have done a better job in the film. iN fact, such thoughts have never crossed my mind while watching the film. I enjoyed all the songs. G.V.Prakash
Cinematography was excellent. I liked the way the camera filmed and differentiated the two different eras. Excellent work Nirav Shah, and a special thanks for showing how beautiful Amy Jackson is!
A.L.Vijay- first of all, for your brave attempt of taking this film. I enjoyed the film but I must say that I was a little disappointed with your storyline.
Your first film, Kreedom had a love story in it, but the love track was woven with the story of a young guy's relationship with his dad.
Likewise, Poi Solla Porom also had a love track developed in the main storyline.
Thus, when Madrasapathinam was first promoted, I thought you were going to portray some important incidents in Madras during the pre-independence period while keeping the love track as a part of the main story. And throughout watching the film, I keeping hoping that you'll do just that.
You had me glued during the scenes where the post office was blasted and the freedom fighter caught by the British. I was expecting something to come out from the scene but you decided to finish it off with the freedom fighter's death. Likewise, the scene where the British wanted to demolish the dobhi ghat and the subsequent wrestling scene between Parithi and Robert- I thought the story would probably emerge now but you decided to leave the scenes as it is and concentrate more on the love track. So Madrasapathinam stayed just as that- yet another love story like many others, except that it was set in the pre-independence era.
On a smaller note- it's ok when Tamilians were shown not to understand English during the pre-independence period, but do you think a translator (in the form of Balaji) is needed in Chennai 60 years later? Almost everyone in Chennai is shown not to understand English- the serial director, the artist, the taxi driver etc. You could have avoided this.
On the whole, Madrasapathinam is probably not my kind of film, but all the same I'm glad it worked for many others.

Thats the trick. It's for us, the audience. If everyone (after 60 years) were shown as English-literate, then the whole episode will be in English. Namma oor makkaL-uku (general-A) konjam kashtamA irunthirukkum even those dialogues can be translated with Thamiz subtitles. IMO. Originally Posted by AudazJay

Happened to attend one of the reality shows which had him as the chief guest. When they where playing the short films made by contestants, he was religiously taking notes in his notepad. It was really heartening to see him do that. (Other directors on the panel didn't do that). But when he started reading his notes-cum-comments, it seemed never ending. Short film script la yE avLo ezhudhiyirukka maattaanga! While the show was telecasted, they edited most of his comments.
Still, he gave the best comments compared to others.

Ok folks time to give my verdict on this movie the very big film Madrasapattinam. Somehow I didn't like this movie very much... it was Ok! I wouldn't say I was amazed... it looked more like they lifted a lot of scenes of laagan only think was the cricket wasn't there but even in Laagan that white girl will go after him even though he doesn't fall for her. But one thing really nice in this movie was the sets and the way they made Madrasapattinam look as if it was just like during the British Period. Another annoying fact of this movie is it has too many flashbacks and I simply cannot stand movies with multiple flashbacks it gets annoying and has become a habit for directors to use flashbacks in every single movie. Another dissapointment was the music the beginning song of rain in Laagan by Ar Rahman was far better than what was used in this... I was very dissapointed the music in Kireedam was much much better. Perphaps If i didn't see laagan first I might have enjoyed this more. Anyways wishing A.L. Vijay better luck for his film with Vikram

இயக்குனர் சிகரம் கே.பாலச்சந்தர் அவர்களின் பாராட்டு எந்த வகையிலும் எனக்கு மிகையாகத்தோன்றவில்லை. அவர் குறிப்பிட்டுப்பாராட்டும் அத்தனை அம்சங்களும் 'மதராசப்பட்டினம்' படத்தில் இருப்பது உண்மைதானே. புதியவர்களின் முயற்சிகளைப்பாராட்ட வேண்டும் என்ற நோக்கில் அவர் சில விஷயங்களை மிகைப்படுத்திச் சொல்லியிருப்பது போலத்தோன்றினாலும், அவை மிகையே அல்ல.
அவரும் படத்துறையில் பழம் தின்று கொட்டை போட்டவர் என்ற வகையில், ஒரு பீரியட் படம் எடுப்பது என்பது எவ்வளவு கஷ்ட்டம், கத்தி மீது நடப்பது போன்றது என்பது அவருக்குத் தெரியும். நண்பர் கார்த்திக் சொன்னது போல, கல்லூரி மாணவியின் பின்னால் நாக்கைத் தொங்கப்போட்டுக்கொண்டு காதல் என்ற பெயரில் அலையும் தற்கால 'ஈரோ'வின் கதையை எடுப்பது போன்றது அல்ல, பீரியட் படம் எடுப்பது.
ஒவ்வொரு பிரேமையும் எவ்வளவு கவனமாக செதுக்க வேண்டும் என்பது, தேர்ந்த இயக்குனர்களுக்கே கூட ஒரு சவாலான விஷயம். ஒரு அவசரத்துக்கு, எச்சில் துப்பும் படிக்கனைக்கூட தற்காலத்தியதை வைத்து விட முடியாது. அதற்கும் கூட அந்தக்கால படிக்கனைத் தேட வேண்டும். (பதினைந்து 'பம்மல் K சம்மந்தம்' உருவாக தரவேண்டிய உழைப்பைத்தந்து கலைஞானி கமல் ஒரு 'Hey Ram' உருவாக்கினார் என்பது நாம் அறியாததல்ல).
அந்த வகையில், பழைய மதராசப்பட்டினத்தையே நம் கண் முன்னே கொண்டு வந்த இயக்குனர், ஆர்ட் டைரக்டர், ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் ஆகியோருக்கு ஸ்பெஷல் சலாம்.
சென்ட்ரல் அருகில் தற்போது ஓடும்(?) பக்கிங்காம் கால்வாய் அருகில் நின்று துர்நாற்றம் தாங்காமல் மூக்கைப்பிடிக்கும் அந்த வயதான மூதாட்டியின் ப்ளாஷ்பேக்கில் பழைய தெளிந்த நீர் ஓடிய பக்கிங்காம் நதியும் அதில் அழகாக மிதந்து செல்லும் படகும் வருவதைக்காட்டுவது எவ்வளவு பரவசம் ஊட்டுகிறது..!.
பயணிகள் விமானத்தைப்பார்த்தால் கூட 'குண்டுபோடப்போறான்' என்று ஓடி ஒளியும் அன்றைய அப்பாவி மக்களைக் காணும்போது அவர்களது வெகுளித்தனம் வெளிப்படுகிறது. கதாநாயகி கேமராவை ரெடிபண்ணும்போதெல்லாம், 'ஸ்டிப்'பாக நின்று போஸ் கொடுக்கும் அனீபாவை, இன்னும் கொஞ்சநாள் இறைவன் நம்மிடம் விட்டுவைத்திருக்கலாம் என்ற ஆதங்கம் வருவதை தடுக்க முடியவில்லை.
அருமையான பாராட்டுரை வழங்கி இளம் தலைமுறையினரின், புதிய முயற்சிகளுக்கு ஊக்கம் தரும் இயக்குனர் சிகரம் கே.பி. அவர்களுக்கு நமது நன்றிகள். அவரது பல படங்களே, இளைஞர்களுக்கு முன்னோடி என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை.
