Instead of blaming the actors alone, blame the directors as well.. I know how our current generation of directors make a movie. They go without a proper plan and they execute it . Then they become egoistic and they never accept their mistakes. They keep on spending more money which bandrupts the producer.. and the movie gets shelved.. If a good directors makes movies for years, then how will it uplift the people who survive by the movies .. I mean depending upon the film industry ! | From: m_23_bayarea on Wed Nov 15 23:35:04 2006. |

I think in the recent years bollywood atleast gives movies like RDB. Though they have their own share of negatives, I think they are able to utilise the market for their films well. Here our directors and actors share the blame !| From: m_23_bayarea on Wed Nov 15 23:46:58 2006. |

Also, just because AS flopped, it does not mean people do not encourage good cinema. What abt autograph, thavamai thavam irundhu etc., There are few in number, I agree but all is not lost. Just bcos films like hey ram, guna & AS did not run, it does not mean people do not encourage good cinema. Hey ram did not run for a variety of reasons. One, the various languages spoken in thf film, two, the excessive kissing scenes, three, the length of the film & four, Gandhi does not hold much relevance in TN. There are many more. This is not to take away the merits of the film. But it was not without its negatives. |

Simply because Oscars are the prominent awards recognised internationally..Winning an oscar gives you international acclaim,that a filmfare doesn't.. I am not saying that Oscars are the benchmarks for categorising a movie, but its the most popularly accepted...Its become something like the Nobel prize for cinema.. |

Its also a great shame no young actors(very few exceptions) have emerged as an 'actor' from this land where the greatest legend called Nadigar Thilagam and other legends like Kamalhasan,Rajinikanth emerged!

I beg ur pardon,buddy. The present day actors r far better than the previous generation actors. Sivaji overacts most of the time. MGR does the same story again and again with diff titles. But people like Vikram, Surya, Ajith can do any role with relative ease and Vijay provides the commercial element. Only thing is that hero worship has increased which shud b avoided. |

Nothing, I repeat, nothing can affect the contibutions of these giants to the Tamil film world. And its no use blaming fans of Ajith and Vijay alone. Fans of Rajini and Kamal are really no better when it comes to across-the-board recognition and always fail to see the shortcomings of their idols, while harping on the faults of their opponents. True realisation will only happen when people stop being fans of "stars" and become fans of the "medium." |

This is the second time I come across this Senior Hubber here accusing Sivaji of overact-ing - possibly disgusted with it. I assume your knowledge of Tamil film of yesteryears is hazy. What is indeed overacting? Overperforming? Doing more? Showing more emotion than necessary? Sivaji did it necessarily. If you do have some free time, please visit the Nadigar Tilagam (NT) thread and there are whole bunch of explanations waiting as to NTs capability to act, overact and underact. Sivaji Ganesan is the foundation of all acting in Tamil film industry till today. Kamal and Rajini owe it to him; and both are doing great job in preserving and enhancing the acting tradition bestowed by Svaji. Please note the word enhancing there. I have wrote so much and did plenty of analysis of NT's performance. I really suggest you visit the NT thread and re-educate your good self. As for MGR. No, he did not do the same story again and again. Have you watched Nadodi Mannan, Malaikkalan, Gulebagavali, Madurai Veeran of the 50s? Have you watched Engga Veettu, Padagotti, Petraalthaan Pillaiya, Parakkum Pavai, Paasam, Oli Vilakku of the 60s? Or Raman Thediya Seethai, Ulagam Sutrum Valibam, Madurai Meeta Sundarapandiyan of the 70s? Are they all of same storyline? You better check your facts before making such accusation. MGR is a mediocre actor, who excelled in other skills like fighting and is a great businessman. He gave entertaining values in his film; and not to mention taking the role of a moral guide. The interpretation of the latter is up to the audience. I enjoyed his films for mere entertainment values. And you said: "But people like Vikram, Surya, Ajith can do any role with relative ease and Vijay provides the commercial element." They are all good actors. They are still growing and are struggling to find good script to fit their talents. But they had to resort to mass-entertainment flicks to survive. Sivaji did not have to do that. Once, when he actually did venture into mass entertainers (late 70s onwards), that was when he lost out. Sivaji was a class act, and that was what people wanted. Doing any role at ease? You must be joking. Can you imagine these young actors (bless them, they do have talent) doing Veera pandiya kattabomman, Navarathiri, Deiva Magan, Oh, give me a break. You get the idea. Let us give our support to the cinema now. But don't forget the past. 50s to 70s had been a golden era for Tamil film industry. That was the foundation of what the cinema is - good or bad; right or wrong. That was the era that fed the creative hunger of the living legends, Kamal and Rajini. The rest of the young heroes we see WANTS to be Kamal and Rajini. When Kamal and Rajini were up and coming they did not announce that they wanted to be the next Sivaji or MGR. They just kept their head down and worked their a** off. I worry about the current crop of heroes. They have talent, yes. But they are struggling. And there are a lot more talent out there. Look at Jeeva and Barath. Their growth is staggering. But do we have good scripts for them? I think so. Yes. New ideas are emerging. Audience will hunger for fresh stories and new talents. The mass market that is currently populated by Vijay, Ajith (occasionally) or Vishal will be downgraded. It won't be the main attraction anymore. Come on, even Sathyaraj is doing Periyar (can't wait to see it). This is a major development. A mainstream star acting in a art-film. We shall see. Tamil film industry is going through a very, very interesting period. I think time is coming when the term Bollywood will be forgotten and Indian films will be mostly Tamil films. |

I agree wholeheartedly. He should post it in Nadigar Thilagam thread. We are waiting for you there Senior Hubber ajaybaskar. Coming to the topic. I see plenty of variety in cinema these days. The worst era of Tamil cinema is the 90s, in my opinion. This was the time when trend matters too much to filmakers. People were scared. The safest thing was just to follow a trend. And we came up with many films with same storyline - most of which revolved around romance or 'love subject'. With exception of few films and talents, 90s will go down in the history of Tamil film as umemorable. But things are changing. Young directors like Seran, Goutham, Murugados and even Masala king Perarasu (giving to a different class of audience) are giving us varieties to savour from. Then, you have the veterans who are willing to try new things. I mentioned Sathyaraj in Periyar. He now has the market clout to experiment, while also doing crappy (but entertaining to me) B-grade films. I am not a fan of Simbhu, but I can see that he is trying to make an impact. Vikram is boosted by his awards, and is certain to be scrutinising his scripts carefully. Ajith learned through Varalaru that people still appreciate him doing character-centric roles. Vijay's future is remained to be seen; as people may get bored with his masala-ic flicks, and he may have to take a detour. Surya is comfortable in his own zone; he has varieties and is as capable and is sometimes better than all the above. I said sometimes. I have personal fondness for Madhavan's performances. But that is a subject to be discussed in a different thread (and I did in Madhavan's thread). You notice all of them has their own arena. The Vijay/Ajith rivalry is pointless, as they both have their own fanbase and sometimes overlap each other. Then, you have the younger set like Jeeva, Barath and Arya. All these are good for the filmakers - they now have a bigger database to choose from. In the nineties, there were too few actors and they can't fill up all the roles. In the days of Sivaji; there would be requriement for 8 different roles in a year, and Sivaji alone can fill them all up. You can't do that now. Instead, we have many actors of competent calibre. Each actor can fill up those eight roles. (I am not saying one Sivaji equals 8 contemporary actor; its actually more). The same goes in other department like music. ARR rules. Fine. But there are other capable composers as well to chose from. Likewise, the lyricist, cinematographer etc. Industry looks vibrant now. Promising. Tamil cinema will rule. And I say this again: Don't forget to appreciate the past. They are all about passing down knowledge of success and failure. Learn the good and avoid the bad. I hope the younger sets of talents will realise this. |

Little correction here. Since you have put every young actor in this category, I want to explain it further frommy side. Ajith said he wants to become the * superstar * and he never said he wants to become NEXT RAJINI or NEXT KAMAL ! (I am 100% sure that he didn't utter those words. It was the funny media which exaggerated his stand and unfortunately his films continuously couldn't sustain a long run) So, he never announced that he wanted to be the next Rajini and Kamal and safely had his a** out off the "wannabes" list and carved a new style for himself ! |

So, on his own, Shankar has not contributed much. But with a good team, he has carved a name in the industry. |
And Shankar is brilliant in that | From: yellow on Thu Dec 7 9:35:15 2006. |

Gentlemen's story is that of a Robin Hood-like character, and it had been done before. Shankar offered some fresh hold on it, and ARR's music played a huge part in the film's success. Indian is basically a remake of Nam Pirantha Man - Sivaji as freedom fighter/vigilante dad and Kamal as rebelious/never-appreciating-freedom son. Again, ARR played important part. Kamal's makeup brought a lots of attention and a national award. Mudhalvan is my favourite and I feel crappy each time I heard that the story had been tailored for Rajini. If he had only done that movie, phew!!!!! This film had good script. It shared plotline with Puthumai Pittan. Both were good and well done. ARR again is big here. Jeans - the special effects came into full play; especially after a bit of experiement in Indian. Prashant's lacklustre performance almost ruined it. ARR is the hero here. Boys - bold story telling. The boys are good; and little did I know that some of them are going to be bigger. ARR is again the hero. Anniyan - I wonder if Shankar just telephoned his direction. One of the most god-awful-piece of....oh hell, just check out my review in my site and you know. So, where does Shankar stand amidst all that? His use of talents. He is a great spotter of talents. That is why the films that he produced are great. Someone said that he is a good producer, I agree. The quality of production is helped by good budget and great cinematographers. Good crew, cast, technicians, all giving their best. So, on his own, Shankar has not contributed much. But with a good team, he has carved a name in the industry. |
