Hi!

Does anyone know if Vazhve Mayam (Sorry if I spelt it wrong) has been dubbed into Telugu? If so, could you please tell me the name of the Telugu movie? Thanks.

Hi SJ,

Vazhve Mayam was actually a remake from the Telugu film Premabhisekam starring ANR and Sri Devi.

I saw few scenes in telugu. I feel the remake version is much better than the original.

Thanks so much. Tells one that I do not really watch that many Telugu movies...just listen to the music. I never did like Premabhishekam. Something about old men with sunken eyes and swollen egos cavorting around with women young enough to be their daughters. Yuck. But, besides my rant, thank you for taking time to even send me a private message regarding my query. I'm very grateful.

Nagesh Krishnamurthy is the one who plays the grandfather's role in Parthiban Kanavu. In idhayakkani the comedian is isari vElan, who later became an ADMK MLA.

Is it MGR? Who acted along with him?

Hi Everybody,

This is my first post. Still not decided on the avatar. I was visiting for quite some time.

Anyway my question is can anyone give me the list of movies of actress Padmapriya of Vairanenjam fame.

I can get the filmography so far as

Vairanenjam
Karotti Kannan
Engallukum Kadal varum
Siri Siri mama
Vazhntu kattukiren
Deviyin thirumanam
Perumaikuriyaval
Aniya villaku
Uravu solla oruvan
Andru sinthiya ratham
Sorgam Naragam
Tyaga ullam
Agni pravesham
Than vinai Thannai chudum
Kungumam kathai solhirathu
Maduraiyai meetiya sundara pandian
Nallathai Nadu ketkum

BTW I could not get this list by doing

"padmapriya tamil cinema -arya -prithiviraj -cheran -mamooty -mohanlal -malayalam -pooja -mirugam -podathey -nitin -thavamai"

in google AND then shifting through mountains of pages. No prizes for guessing which latest actress I am hating like anything now :-)

Thanks in advance.

This is a movie that had 3 story lines. One was Vaishnavi who has a arguement with her husband and leaves. Her husband has an affair with the maid while she is gone. When she comes back, she realizes this and then decides to bring up the maid's child.

Another of the stories was this guy marrying a Kodmabakkam extra and then doesn't treat her with dignity. Won't let her friends visit etc.

Anybody know what I am talking about?

Yes, Amaran was directed by K. Rajeshwar. Pratap Pothan played a cameo in the film (the loosu-with-a-past role) though. They're good friends. Rajeshwar wrote many of the films that Pratap Pothan directed. Meendum Oru Kaadhal Kadhai, Vetri Vizha, Seevalaperi Paandi etc.

P_R
21st February 2008, 07:31 PM
Hmm looks like he has a nice bunch of films in his resume as a writer. SeevalappEri Pandi is quite a decent effort with Julius Ceaser and all :-)

K.Rajeshwar apparently wrote AvaL AppadiththAn (in a recent interview). That was news to me. I thought that movie was written by Rudriah and dialogues by the writer VaNNanilavan.

equanimus
21st February 2008, 07:52 PM
No, 'avaL appadiththAn' was written by Rudriah, Vannanilavan and one Mr. Somasundareshwar. (All of them are credited together, thankfully, for "thiraikkadhai-uraiyAdal.") Initially, I didn't know that the third writer was actually K. Rajeshwar who wrote with that name (is that his real name or a pseudonym?).

On an sidenote, Ananthu contributed much to the film (and its making). The film even starts with an ultimate thank-you note to the man without crediting him with anything specific. It just says, "அனந்த்து" (in quotes). :)

Rudriah did make one more film. 'grAmaththu adhiyAyam'. It has a very good story, but is quite embarrassingly executed. The best thing about the film is Raaja's superb score. Also, it starred Chandrahasan in one of the supporting roles.

Prabhu Ram,
Oh, yes, I was thinking about the same. (Of course!) Rudriah also has the same dedicatory note -- '"அனந்த்து" வுக்கு' right in the first frame. It's an incredible achievement to have two great films that were separated by 22 years be dedicated to you, when all you've made by yourself is one film somewhere in between -- which was a good 13 years after a film was dedicated to you!

Rudriah did make one more film. 'grAmaththu adhiyAyam'. It has a very good story, but is quite embarrassingly executed. The best thing about the film is Raaja's superb score. Also, it starred Chandrahasan in one of the supporting roles. Haven't seen this one. Saw a couple of songs in youtube now. Omigod :shock: What a fall !


Quarter-century 'ai nOkki senRu koNdirukkiREn. idhuvE romba nAL AyittApla dhAn enakku irukku 'nnu solla vandhEn. :lol: Apparently the Chola King Karikalan ascended to the throne at a very young age and was thus not taken seriously. So he once pronounced judgement on a (presumably technically demanding) case sporting the disguise of an old man. Thus he came to be known as நரை முடித்து நல்லுரை வழங்கியோன்.

Balaiah is one of my fav.actor. I read in a magazine that he is a kudirai pandaya veriyar. He used to skip in between the shots and go to the race course. H/ever, director Sridhar requested him personally, not to leave the sets while shooting Kaadalikka Neramillai - and the actor honoured it. How strange !!!!

Hi Hubbers,
I was thinking of a movie plot to post in "Kadhai kettu Padam Sol!" but for the life of me I cannot remember nor find the title of this b/w movie I watched when I was about 10 i guess...it has Thengai Srinivasan as a poor priest who has a daughter who is Sowcar Janaki...he gambles and loses money at the horse races and gets his wife to act as if she's dead to collect money, he bemoans his daughter's need for a dowry and says that she will end up marrying someone 20 years older than her or something like that...in the end the wife dies, the daughter marries someone much elder and he is left on his own...

can anyone tell me what movie this is?

Dear Querida,

It is "Athirshtam Azhaikirathu". (அதிர்ஷ்டம் அழைக்கிறது). I haven't seen the movie but from what I have heard/read, Sowcar is actually Thengai's wife and SriVidya comes as the daughter.

I came across a Hindi film called Jai Balaji, obviously a dub, but I've been unable to deduce the original film, most probably in Tamil. Nowhere on the net can I find a film with that director/composer duo.

From the name and the star cast mentioned in the link, it should be Srinivasa Kalyanam (?) which came out in 1976. APN directed it. But the heroine role was done by JJ. If my memory serves me right, she also sang a song in her own voice.

sinth, I have seen the movie.. Its a dub from Telugu and I think a comedy track (GM/senthil) was inserted in Tamil. Its a murder mystery. Banupriya comes to a forest to research birds' sounds. She stays with her uncle, saratbabu. Karthik, an undercover cop is the manager in saratbabu's office.. The people living in the forest get killed one by one and the villagers and saratbabu believe that a tiger is responsible for all the killings. Finally karthik unravels the mystery. A decent thriller!

2. It seems there were one or two movies, which had sis and brother falling in love without right knowledge that they are siblings.

One such movie had a tragic end of the lovers commiting suicide after knowing that they are siblings.

Other movie, had a convenient happy climax of heroine and hero calling each other anna and thangachi and being happy about their new found twist in relationship.

I aint sure if the said movie(s) had onesided love affair or double side complete love.

One of them I am told had MGR and KRV featuing as bro and sister.

A small analysis:

Sometimes I would think "Will Ajith & Vijay complete 100 films as Hero's?"

Reason:

Both are doing 2 films per year.
Assume, they have completed 50 films by now, but in reality it would take 2 more years.
So, for another 50 films they would take 25 more years.
At present both have crossed 35 years.. so 35+25 = 60 years.

HR, pls visit NT thread. Today Murali sir had written about NT's " sadhanaigal " for the year 1982.

Right from his very first film (1952) to his 225th film (1982) - 30 years - he has acted as the protagonist in all the films. :notworthy:

ok. i've heard good things about Sumaithangi. I watched the movie when i was really young (7-8) and really touched by it. my relative in india said it was Gemini's best movie and he pipped Sivaji (Aalayamani) to win state award for that year

is this true? because i really really want to rent/buy this movie.

Ellorum Top 50 / Top 20 of 2008 poduranga (channels, newspaper etc.)

so,2008 - Top-5 in Hub (in this section) // IMO. Others can come up with their own Top-5 / 10 :) :

Not in any particular order:

1) Annan Anjasingam Goundamani
In 2008, Hub has seen Goundamani revolution, in each & every possible thread. His first thread got completed 100 pages after more than 1 1/2 years. Next one was started by mid of 2008 & got completed within few months. The present one was started on 2008 Diwali. Goundamani won the poll comfortably, for "classic comedians" defeating a massive alliance by the opponents, headed by yesteryear comedian Nagesh.

2) Ulaganayagan KamalHassan & Dasavatharam
After the success of Rajini's Sivaji, Kamal fans are eagerly waiting for his 10A. It satisfied most of the fans & public & it went on to become biggest hit of the year. Widely discussed film in Hub, both by the fans & those who doesn't like it. Marmayogi drop & Thalaivan irukkiran etc. all made Kamal, one of the most discussed personality in hub.

3) Superstar Rajinikanth & Kuselan
Rajini pesinalum news.. pesavittalum news. Kuselan edhirpartha alavu vetriperavillai. Andha padathin moolam ezhundha pala sarchaigal, matrum adhil idam petra sila kAtchigal enru Rajini eppozhudhum Hot topic. Adhu poga, sila rasigargal thangalagave katchi aarambikka, adhu adutha paraparappu. Now Rajini is Endhiran.

4) Captain Puratchi Kalaignar Vijayakanth :D
viLimbu nilai nadigaragavum, keli porulagavum karudhapatta Vijayakanth, indha varudathil oru nalla nilamaikku munnetram adaindhullar (in Hub). Avaradhu 150-vadhu padam "Arasangam" vetri petradhu avarukku kooduthal balam.

5) Isaipuyal AR Rahman & Sakkaraikatti
Padalgal edhirparppai kuduthu padam yematram alithadhal ARR-in rasigargalukku varutham.

~ still some more can be added. But I am not getting it at present ~

hi guys! Haven't been here in a long time. I've got a question for anyone in the know?

It's abt Maniratnam. Does or did he have a brother called Jeevi? What happened to this guy?

P_R
18th May 2009, 07:10 PM
Yes. GV alias G Venkateswaran. He produced many of MR's films like Agni Natchathram, Thalapathy etc. He also produced Indira, Vijay's Thamizhan, Vijayakanth's Sokkathangam etc.. He committed suicide in 2003 due to financial trouble

Another brother of MR, G. Srinivasan (who partnered with MR in Madras Talkies) died in 2007 in an accident during a trekking expedition

nirosha sen
19th May 2009, 08:34 PM
Thank you Prabhu! :D

Reason I asked is because of what a numerologist called Dr Muthayah confided to a friend. Apparently, GV went bankrupt when Michael Jackson rescinded on his contract to sing at various venues in India. The whole Indian tour was sponsored by GV's company. Mounting debts forced him into suicide.

Do you think there's any truth to that?

Hi Nirosha,

I have heard something like this pa. Could be true

P_R
19th May 2009, 09:17 PM
Yeah. I think it was 92 or so. He lost a load of money on that. I think he even sued MJ unsuccessfully. After that I guess he didn't have a redeemingly successful run in films too. Parted ways with Mani ratnam (someone can confirm this) before 'Bombay'. None of his films after that were successful, leading to his eventual suicide.

Late in the mid-90s MJ did tour India. If I am right Amitabh Bachchan Corporation sponsored that tour.

In the corner of my street in Chennai there is a preview theatre that used to be owned by GV, quite ironically called Goodluck. After his death it has been bought and maintained by Director Priyadarshan who had to face some estate-litigations on the same.

[tscii:d0622b5cba]Not a bad year for films

In all, 155 films were released in the year 2001, thereby creating a record of sorts in the south. But only 75 films were straight films and others were dubbed ventures. The Kamal Haasan-starrer Thenali and the Vijay starrer-Friends were the only two films that reached the silver jubilee mark while Ajith’s Dheena completed a 125-day run shows the poor state of the film industry. While only nine films completed 100 days in 2000, last year had 15 films which reached the 100-day mark. Vijaykant’s Vanchinathan and Narsimha, Karthik’s Ullam Kollu Poguthe, Vijay’s Badri, Madhvan’s Dum Dum Dum, T Rajinder’s Sonantha Kathala, Mammootty’s Anandam, Ajith’s Citizen and Poov Ellam Unn Vasam, Vikram’s Dhill, Prasanth’s Chocklet and Sarath Kumar’s Samudaram were the films that touched the 100-day mark as per official records but many of these
films were pulled in the theatres by the producers to keep up the ‘star status and banner value’ is an undeniable fact.

With nine films released, Roja topped the list of actresses who acted in the maximum number of films and also had the distinction of having acted in 100 films. She is currently in the news for having come out with an interview criticising Kamal Haasan for the way in which his heroines are depicted on screen. With six films, Devyani came a close second and Jothika came third with five films out of which two were successful at the box-office. Simran, the numero uno of 2000, had only two releases and both were flops. Laila had four releases of which two were hits. Meena had three releases but she was the heroine in only one of them. While she only had a side role in one, in the other she appeared in a song sequence. Rambha had two releases and both were flops. Mumtaz, the sex bomb, came in six films and kept her slot intact.

Vivek was the most popular comedian with 21 films to his credit and Vadivelu came a close second with 19 films.

Directors Ramanarayanan and Sundar C directed three films each and topped the list. Sundar had a hit in Ullam Kollu Poguthe. K Balchander directed and released his 100th film starring Madhvan and Simran in the lead.

Amongst the new talents, Sham who made his debut with 12B is the most sought after hero in Tamil film industry because his first film has got him a lot of fans in the college-going crowd and is said to be a strong rival to Madhvan who managed to retain his slot with Minnale while his K Balchander film was a washout.

:rotfl3: :rotfl3: :rotfl3:

Among the debutante heroines, Rima Sen in Minnale, Gaytri Jayram in Manathe Thirudi Vittai, Anjala Zaveri in Ullam Kollu Poguthe, Bhoomika in Badri, Richa Pallot in Shahjahan and Sneha in Anandam were those who showed promise. Rinkie Khanna’s debut performance in Majnu was a disaster. Kavya Madhvan, the popular actress in Kerala, made her debut in Kaasi but did not create a ripple.

Besides this, a lot happened in the industry.
Actor Sarath Kumar and comedian SS Chandran were nominated as Rajya Sabha MPs.
Director Rajakumaran’s marriage with actress Devyani created a flutter in the film circles.
Sarath Kumar and Radhika who were longtime friends turned husband and wife last year.
Director Suresh married actress Meera, vamps Vichitra and Alphonsa too tied the nuptial knot.
Comedian Vyapuri got married.
Actress Nalini and Ramarajan’s divorce case caught the media attention.
The passing away of veteran actor Sivaji Ganesan left a void in the film industry. The Union Government released a stamp in his memory and the State government gave him state honours at the funeral.
The death of director Tirupathiswami in a car accident before his debut film Narasimha was released was the most tragic event. It led to the editor’s union to decide that they will not work for more than eight hours a day since the director was returning home in the early morning after working with the editor the whole night.
The accidental fall of Sarika Kamal Haasan upset the industry while the attack on the unit of Samudaram in Karnataka angered the Tamil film industry.
Actress Vindhya fled her house and accused her parents of forcing her to take up prostitution.
Rajanikant, with no release last year, continued to be the point of speculation about his next film. He, however, ruled out his coming to politics while his friend Kamal Haasan hinted about his desire to join politics.
Vijaykant’s hobnobbing with AIADMK supremo Jayalalitha set off reports that he had changed sides from DMK.

Unlike previous years, last year passed off without any strikes or major disputes. The film industry was, to a certain extent, to get support from all sections to enforce curbs on TV channels from showing new films clippings and telecasting interviews of artistes on festive days since it affected collections.

[tscii:0339ba4e49]donno where to post this:

I found this one good to read...



Design Patterns in Kollywood
1.Choreographed Scenes - Strong character actors like Thalai Vaasal Vijay and others standing in vantage positions, accompanied by logic-explaining dialogue. Each line of dialogue is usually accompanied by sudden bursts of random instruments deliberately clanged against each other. Tudum tudum tudum tudum...tududum tududum tududum... These unnatural and decidedly unmelodious sounds are one of the most important attributes. Famous examples include Jodi, Poovellam Un Vaasam.
2.Heart Licking - Vikraman and his underlings' movies / Vasu movies / Super Good films' movies / Sivasakthi Pandiyan movies : Regular players include “Captain” Vijaykanth, the late Kunal, “Trustable Round” Prabhu , “ Group Actor” Murali, Ramesh Khanna, “Character Actor” Thalaivaasal Vijay , “I am Smart” Karan, Vaiyapuri, Daamu,“Wash Basin Vaayan” Erode Paandu. Heavy use of Design Pattern # 1. In fact, Design Pattern # 1 owes its existence to Mr.Vikraman ! Famous movies include Vaanathai Pola and Aanantham.
3.Love Stories – A very broad Design Pattern. Encompasses most of the other design patterns at varying levels. Most of the actors / actresses have applied this design pattern at some part in their careers, to varying levels of success.
4.Mass movies – A design pattern considered necessary for actors to achieve “Superstar” status. Successfully used by MGR, Rajini. Now many actors, varying from 15 to 35 years of age are using this design pattern with varying levels of success.
5.Action Movies – A distinct design pattern that focusses mainly on action, with little doses of design patterns # 2, 3 and 4. Prominent actors include “Action King” Arjun.
6.Over Enthusiasm – Jyothika, Ajit, Shanmuga Sundaram, Thalai Vaasal Vijay, Sreeman, Karan. Basically, this involves unnecessary face expressions. Known in slang as “Aarva Kolaaru”.
7.Thinking out loud - one of the best ways to insult audience intelligence. Results Guaranteed or full-money return !
8.Mani Rathnam movies - Pseudo Hi-Fi Crap with dim lighting and / or based on famous people / epics. Always with crowd-pulling actors. Throw in some nice music by IR and now by ARR and there you go!
9.Shankar movies - Superhero crap, customized for Indian audiences. Main protaganist, always a common man, fails and rises again. Throw in n number of variations, great sets ( ப்ரஹ்மிக்க வைக்கிறான் ), leading actors (including the Tamil Superstar himself) and you have a director with Midas touch !
10.Vijay movies – Intro Fight, Intro song, fight, heroine intro song / introduction, romance, fight, tasteless comedy by Vijay, fight, heart licking (design pattern # 2), fight, song, climax fight. Vijay's roles usually are mechanic / labourer / someone the man on the street can identify himself with. Heroines, usually the ones that acted with Rajini in his most recent movie. A design pattern, fast losing its customer base!
11.Ramanarayan movies – Goddess (never God !) movies customized for B and C centers ! Special mention must be made of Ground-breaking Visual Effects.
12.A R Murugadoss movies - Inspired from design pattern # 9 with lesser budget and lesser fantasy involved.
13.Bala movies - Movies with focus on under-privileged sections of society. Usually, one or more of the protagonist(s) meets a tragic fate ( ranging from mental insanity to death )
14.Balachander movies - Movies that "dwell" on human relationships. Or some crap pretending to be like that.
15.TR movies - one of the most popular design patterns! Characterized by rhyming inane dialogues, usually featuring a short, heavily-bearded TR as the protagonist. Direction, production, screenplay, dialogues, music, lyrics all by TR. Truly, a one man show.
16.Bhagyaraj movies - Somewhat similar to Design pattern # 14. Major difference, is the bespectacled Bhagyaraj, playing the lead role of the innocent protagonist.
17.Sreeman – A one-man design pattern ! A very smart and decidedly muscular and handsome chap, his very presence is magnetic.
18.PS: Please see this video to understand his insanely charismatic personality: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/848704/sreeman/
19.Karan – Refer to Design Pattern # 17
20.Thalai Vaasal Vijay – Architect Level ISO certified, Agmark stamped “Character” Actor. One of the most important components of Design Patterns # 1 and 2, Mr. Thalai Vaasal never disappoints.
21.Vijaykanth movies – “Captain” Vijaykanth, always in Police Officer / CBI / Election Commissioner / FBI / CIA / Interpol roles. Dialogues by Liaquat Ali Khan. Featuring North Indian ladies in roles with screen time equalling 30 mins (intro song, 3 duet songs, climax scene)
22.“Trustable Round” Prabhu – Always comes as a very responsible and extremely trustable round figure. His roles include solo-hero movies, second hero / younger rounder brother to Rajini / Kamal / Sathyaraj, and now as round trustable figure in movies and TV advertisements
23.Murali – Very Senior level “Group” actor / “College Student in Love” Actor. An important component of Heart Licking Design Pattern. Shines in big “star” studded movies. Here, Star refers to Murali and other actors of his level.
24.Village subject movies – This design pattern encompasses actors who usually wear rural clothings in most of their roles, comprising of lungi, drawer, hairy chest revealing upper torso wear. Prominent are “Naatamai” Vijay Kumar, Sarath Kumar, Napolean, Radha Ravi, Anand Raj, Vinu Chakravarthy. This design pattern very closely follows the design patterns # 1 and 2 and are mainly designed to make money in B and C centers. Famous movies include Ejaman, Chinna Kounder.
25.Vijay Kumar – Most Experienced Architect level “Village Subject” actor. His callsheets are always sought out first, whenever a village subject movie is announced. Only due to his inability to allocate callsheets, does the opportunity go to Radha Ravi, Anand Raj and other B level Village Subject actors. Legendary for his hair chest revealing garments and mouthing loud dialogues. Spends his non-working time in promoting the career of his 2 daughters and 1 son.
26.Flash back scenes with dyed hair - A major component of Design Patterns # 2 and 23. Scenes involve 50 years plus aged actors dyeing their hair / having a black hair wig to tell flashbacks. Otherwise, there is absolutely zero change in their voice modulation, body language or posture. Just dye their hair black or have a black wig. Prominent players include "Captain" Vijaykanth, "Spreme Star" Sarathkumar, Rajeev, Radha Ravi, Anand Raj and "Village Subject Actor" Vijay Kumar.
27.Ramarajan – Senior level “Village Hero” actor. Famous for bright colored clothes.
28.Arjun - “Action King” Arjun produces, directs, acts in his own movies. He mostly appears as Army / Navy / Air Force / CBI / Police officers with very high sense of patriotism towards the nation. Now and then, he works with Shankar, Sundar C. Recently, he has formed a relatively successful comedy team with “Vaigai Puyal” Vadivelu.
29.Double / Triple role movies – Actors ( and very rarely actresses) appear in double / triple roles. They are usually twins, brothers, grandfather/father/son, father/son(s) and very rarely as unrelated individuals. Most prominent feature of this pattern is the total absence of efforts on the part of the actors and make-up man / director to distinguish between the different persons using body language and / or makeup. Most Senior level actors include Sarath Kumar and Vijaykanth.
30.Exception: “Universal Hero” Kamal Hassan in MMKR, Aboorva Sagodharargal
31.Suspense movies – A very unused design pattern, as far as Kollywood is concerned. Due to perceived lack of box office money making capacity, this pattern is highly ignored in favor to Heart Licking movies. Notable exceptions include Anjathey, Athe Kangal, Yaavarum Nalam.
32.Horror movies – Refer Design Pattern # 29
33.Gautham Menon movies – Inspired by Design Pattern # 8. Shoots major parts of his movies in famous US cities like NY to make up for lack of originality. Frequently casts Surya and Mrs.Surya.
34.Fast Screenplay movies – A very close follower of design pattern # 4. Here the hero is usually a very common man, faced with extraordinary circumstances (usually avoidable in real life scenarios; brought unnecessarily upon himself by hero's ego / hotheadedness). Lot of scenes involving almost fatal encounters with bad guy and escaping at last minute due to some big object obstructing the villain's view of the hero and other more outlandish reason(s). Zero logic and Maximum Adrenaline Flow. Famous examples include Run, Ghilli, Dhool, Dhill, Sandaikozhi. Regular directors include Dharani, Lingusamy.
35.Telugu-remake movies: These movies were made in AP and accordingly made with higher noise levels and more brighter costumes and very very unmelodious music. Remake movies typically use same actresses, same crew and same director. Prominent actors include “Ilayathalapathy” Vijay and “Jeyam” Ravi.
36.Revenge Subjects: Heavily uses Design patterns # 23, 25 and 28.
37.Realistic movies: This design pattern is one of the least used design patterns in Kollywood. Major players include Balu Mahendra, Bharathiraja, Mishkin and to a certain extent, Bala.
38.Comedy movies: While out and out comedy movies are relatively rare, most movies include an integrated / separate comedy track. Prominent players include MR Radha,“Vaigai Puyal” Vadivelu, Rajini, “Wash Basin Vaayan” Erode Pandu.
39.M R Radha: MR Radha represents one of the earliest design patterns in Tamil Cinema. Outspoken critic of blind hero worship. This design pattern represents visionary thinking far ahead of the prevailing times and fearless outspoken nature against populist thinking. Most Unique Design Pattern and so far peerless !
40.K S Ravikumar: Represents hidden satire for prevalent pop culture. Some of the applications of this design pattern are listed below:
41.Minsara Kanna for Jodi and Poovellam Un Vaasam
42.Samudhiram for Vaanathai Pola and Aanandham
43.Ethiri for Run and Ghilli
44.Naatamai for Ejamaan and Chinna Kounder
45.Visu: This design pattern represents the dramatization of Kollywood. Prominent features include women-centric themes and scene-by-scene application of Design Pattern # 1. Visu later branched out to host a TV talk show titled “Useless Talk Auditorium”
46.Pandiarajan movies: Short and blessed with an innocent-looking face, Pandiarajan made a nice fortune with a string of movies in 80s with his unique brand of screen presence. Having worked with Bhagyaraj, his movies tend to follow Design Pattern # 16. Recently, acted as villain in Anjathey, one of the rare Tamil suspense movies by Mishkin. A design pattern, quite unique and possibly wont be seen again !
47.Parthiban movies: Again, influenced by Design Pattern # 16, due to his past association with Bhagyaraj. Parthiban's attempts at meaningful cinema make sense to only him and his fanbase, if any. His only claim to success is his mostly successful on-screen collaborations with “Vaigai Puyal” Vadivelu. Not a very practical design pattern!
48.“Superstar” Rajinikanth: This is one of the most famous design patterns in Kollywood. This itself is an example of an extremely successful application of Design pattern # 4 - Mass movies. A genuine Superstar in Kollywood and in Japan, US, Malaysia and other countries, Super Star is a true phenomenon. With genuine charisma and screen presence, he invented his own style of flicking the cigarettes, stylish / fast mannerisms in walking / talking. Post-Baasha period has seen a steady decline in the quality of his movies, with the possible exceptions of Padaiyappa and Baba, with the latest movie being a complete dud. All said and done, this design pattern represents innovation at early stages and the danger of getting stereotyped. It shows the risk of blind and non-stop application of the same Design Pattern over and over again.
49.“Universal Hero” Kamal Hassan: This design pattern represents versatility, constant innovation and persistent refusal to be tied down by populist / commercial tendencies. Able to successfully handle acting, direction, production, screenplay, singing, dance / fight choreography, lyrics and editing, Kamal represents true craftsmanship and technical excellence. A design pattern, that transcends the boundaries of cinema and can be applied to any chosen field of specialization.

Zero logic and Maximum Adrenaline Flow. Famous examples include Run, Ghilli, Dhool, Dhill, Sandaikozhi. Regular directors include Dharani, Lingusamy.
35.Telugu-remake movies: These movies were made in AP and accordingly made with higher noise levels and more brighter costumes and very very unmelodious music. Remake movies typically use same actresses, same crew and same director. Prominent actors include “Ilayathalapathy” Vijay and “Jeyam” Ravi.
36.Revenge Subjects: Heavily uses Design patterns # 23, 25 and 28.
37.Realistic movies: This design pattern is one of the least used design patterns in Kollywood. Major players include Balu Mahendra, Bharathiraja, Mishkin and to a certain extent, Bala.
38.Comedy movies: While out and out comedy movies are relatively rare, most movies include an integrated / separate comedy track. Prominent players include MR Radha,“Vaigai Puyal” Vadivelu, Rajini, “Wash Basin Vaayan” Erode Pandu.
39.M R Radha: MR Radha represents one of the earliest design patterns in Tamil Cinema. Outspoken critic of blind hero worship. This design pattern represents visionary thinking far ahead of the prevailing times and fearless outspoken nature against populist thinking. Most Unique Design Pattern and so far peerless !
40.K S Ravikumar: Represents hidden satire for prevalent pop culture. Some of the applications of this design pattern are listed below:
41.Minsara Kanna for Jodi and Poovellam Un Vaasam
42.Samudhiram for Vaanathai Pola and Aanandham
43.Ethiri for Run and Ghilli
44.Naatamai for Ejamaan and Chinna Kounder
45.Visu: This design pattern represents the dramatization of Kollywood. Prominent features include women-centric themes and scene-by-scene application of Design Pattern # 1. Visu later branched out to host a TV talk show titled “Useless Talk Auditorium”
46.Pandiarajan movies: Short and blessed with an innocent-looking face, Pandiarajan made a nice fortune with a string of movies in 80s with his unique brand of screen presence. Having worked with Bhagyaraj, his movies tend to follow Design Pattern # 16. Recently, acted as villain in Anjathey, one of the rare Tamil suspense movies by Mishkin. A design pattern, quite unique and possibly wont be seen again !
47.Parthiban movies: Again, influenced by Design Pattern # 16, due to his past association with Bhagyaraj. Parthiban's attempts at meaningful cinema make sense to only him and his fanbase, if any. His only claim to success is his mostly successful on-screen collaborations with “Vaigai Puyal” Vadivelu. Not a very practical design pattern!
48.“Superstar” Rajinikanth: This is one of the most famous design patterns in Kollywood. This itself is an example of an extremely successful application of Design pattern # 4 - Mass movies. A genuine Superstar in Kollywood and in Japan, US, Malaysia and other countries, Super Star is a true phenomenon. With genuine charisma and screen presence, he invented his own style of flicking the cigarettes, stylish / fast mannerisms in walking / talking. Post-Baasha period has seen a steady decline in the quality of his movies, with the possible exceptions of Padaiyappa and Baba, with the latest movie being a complete dud. All said and done, this design pattern represents innovation at early stages and the danger of getting stereotyped. It shows the risk of blind and non-stop application of the same Design Pattern over and over again.
49.“Universal Hero” Kamal Hassan: This design pattern represents versatility, constant innovation and persistent refusal to be tied down by populist / commercial tendencies. Able to successfully handle acting, direction, production, screenplay, singing, dance / fight choreography, lyrics and editing, Kamal represents true craftsmanship and technical excellence. A design pattern, that transcends the boundaries of cinema and can be applied to any chosen field of specialization.
