Super Star RAJINIKANTH IN AS Kochadaiyaan || ARR|| Directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth

[Dilbert]

only recently they have started acknowledging that its an animation film ..

but to be fair to the team, Avatar took more than 5 years to arrive at such a product.. sitting out of Chennai and delivering an high quality within 2 years time is going to be near impossible.. if the story/screenplay is decent/gripping we have to acknowledge this as a good attempt irrespective of the animation quality ..


Yo that lady has taken more than 7 years ! Its just a lame marketing stunt to keep Rajini Brand alive. I have zero expectation from this venture.

Ditto.

[nickraman]

"Animation padam, rombe nerama eddukum ithu complete panrathukku" solran. It's becoming the new "Ennathu? Mahatma Gandhi Sethutaara?! "

Tintin didn't take this long to complete. I pity our Indian crew for delaying the project. Hope it doesn't repeat Sulthan/Hara's fate.

RAJINI'S VIKRAMASIMHA!

Director Soundarya has announced that Kochadaiyaan’s Telugu version has been titled as Vikramasimha. The newbie director is planning to release the film in Tamil and Telugu and is currently busy with the post production works.

She has also stated in a social networking site that the dubbing for the Telugu version has already begun and is going on in top speed to facilitate a speedy release.

Kochadaiyaan will be Rajini’s comeback film after a major health issue he suffered a couple of years ago and there are huge expectations on it.

It is a sentiment for SS... The intro song or the first song of his movies will be sung by SPB.. In some of the movies the first songs were sung by some other singers and they did not become hit...

Some movies'lam illa. The case of point was Baba. Infact the bubble burst when thalaivar says Brraaaa in the prelude :rotfl:


வரும், வரணும்.. "Life of Pi" படத்த ஒரு வருஷமா ஓட்டற அதே சத்யம் தியேட்டர்ல ஒரு தமிழ் படத்த ஒட்ட வைக்கணும்..

oru varusham'laam odaleenga. Life of Pi was released on end of November or start of December at best. Came a few days before Hobbit came. That said 4 months+ is a very good run for any movie these days that too in a Mount Road theater. But I guess Avatar was the longest run among recent days in Sathyam, the ran one show almost or more than a year.

Did Endhiran run 25 weeks at all?

Yep, Typical examples are

1) Dippu Dippu - SMD
2) Ulagathukaga pirnthavan naanE - Mano :banghead:
3) Oru Maina maino - Mano :sigh2:

After SPB I think MSV was a good choice for SS intro song like "Pothuvaga en manasu thangam".

Isn't Dippu Dippu the worst of the lot, Maina Maina wasn't bad. Pandiyan was an awful movie, second worst to Baba maybe. SPB was the preferred singer by Superstar, take most of movies since late 80s that's been the trend. The opening song by SPB was something that Annamalai set the trend, 'Vandhenda Paalkaran', 'Naan Autokaran', 'Oruvan Oruvan Mudhalali', 'Singanadai' etc. None till that had such an mass opening song for him, Mannan that came the same year ahead of Annamalai had no such intro song. Infact the first song in Mannan is Amma Enrazhaikkadha by Yesudas.

Awesome! ippadi thaan irukkanum. I had experienced something similar when I saw Mannan on 175th day in Madurai Solamalai. Annamalai had a great opening for him. In Baasha, the best scene is the one just before intermission :) Saw Endhiran on the second day in Mayajaal, went with expectations that there will be sound and fun, ellam anga fingers on the lips vechutu ukkandhirukkanga :( These days you can expect much more sound in a US/EU where you have tons of students and 20s folk seeing that you would get in Madras. thalaivar padam paakardhula irukkura enjoyment's audience sound dhaan. adhillama enna padamo.

oru koppai-yum, sivasambo padalum sorgam - padal varigal purindhavargaluku

Siva Sambo - adobe of joy - thats during the point of self realisation, where the whole universe becomes dumb. Its the joy between you and yourself. Thats what exactly the song is all about. Many have said contradictory things about the song, but the fruit of the song is not contraversy or philosophy, its spiritual. Its quite beautiful how the enlightened Kanadasan has throughly mixed the purity and impurity (Shiva and materialistic things). He has explained one has to attain a certain set of mind where he is the supremo. He translates the materialistic joys which seems like "don't-care-master" but its actually the experience that one attains by the unification of oneself 'manam kondu endraale, sorgatthil idamundu'. The cross lanes are quite deep and intervened. Soorgam here is earth on which yourSELF can find joy. Don't know how - here is the don't-care-list 'ah mathuvundu, peN undu, sOr undu, sugam undu ', but 'manam kondu endraale' you acheive the ultimate. Remember you have the power, "kallai nee thindraalum jerikkinra naaLinru" ... and so on ...

About these lines :
manitha un jenmaththil ennaLum nannaaLaam
marunaaLai eNNathae, ennaLum ponnaaLaam
pallaakkai thookkaathe, pallaakkil neeyeru

It starts with Mantiha - you are adressed by the supremo - its an assurance and not the literal 'live the minute" philosophy. The pallaku lines are self realisation, and finaly the 90 years is your body but your soul is ageless (indicated as 16 years).

This song is a seed, water it and it becomes a baniyan tree. Well, I wish not highjack Kochadayan thread, I stop here with A2A lines "anubavichu ezhuthi irrukaru"

Absolutley ! Only Kanadhasan possible with such philosophical lyrics!

[SoftSword]

super post on sivasambo maappi... perfect for thalaivars look...
the extra badass look swallowed kamals extra charming look..


and the dippu dippu is bad in multiple layers...
a very folkish tune supported by pretty bad lyrics... atleast the first few lines...
and the visuals on screen with katchi kodi uniforms... disaster...

but for me, B-to the-A-to the-B-to the-A is thalaivar intro...
the best one can get... the guitar riffs were haunting..

[mappi]

Apart from Rajini and Kamal, its MSV, Kanadasan and KB who have to be talked about. The allignement in thought between the 3 has resulted in producing this song. The 2 characters are there in the song lyrics, where Kamal runs behind materialistic things and Rajini takes the chair of the Master with wine. The song suituation also stresses on abondaning ones duty ... that really did not go well with Rajini resulting in this song. It sounds quite simple while reading the few lines, but the explanation that resulted in development and finaly meeting an accordance is a gem found by these 3 gentlemen. And as SoftSword (how are you ?) has said, the whole attire of Rajini, esp. the shoulder movements punches the lines/words when ever necessary. On the whole a song to cherish in which ever way its looked at. Even the movie goes on to explain the attachement and deattachement thru the 3 charater, giving the truthful repenting climax that cannot be avoided.

Baba - it has many ifs and if nots, leading a straight path to the drains. And thats on the cover. As we all know never judge a book by its cover. What baba has in it are the realms of life, simply put as the needs of life (a bit like Maslow's Pyramid of needs), fulfilling which you have the insight to achieve the most. Without touching the Baba encounter as it complicates even more the complications, the 3 phases of life talked about in Dipu Dipu song is just the trailer of the next 150 mins, where the implication of human desire on materialistic things are showcased. You start with not knowing what (baby - the kite episode), then you get dependent or influenced & confused (kid - kite episode, but this time quite specific), then money (young man 1 - "MirandaCan-kick-girl-save" episode), women (young man 2 - Market Nilambari), housing (young man 3 - Nambiar's request), reproduction or give life to (middle age and its fruit - saving Japanese + marriage). Now comes the ultimate question - Known is a drop, unknown is an oceane - the choice of the unknown is told in the commericiale climax with the turban and the knife - I allow you to look at Road not Taken suituation. And ofcoarse there are several references to chakras. The movie introduces it to us, but where they failed is to educate the audience where these chakras are referenced at, resulting in the "Manisha-exercise-Rajini-chakra-list" episode seeming to be a long punch dialogue.

For info : the whole kite episode are the first 2 pages from "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda – copyrighted material is available for free on internet. Basially many things told in the naration in this autobiography follows as a shadow throughout the film.

But here, one should not confuse with Naan Kadavul / Anbe Sivam. These 3 movies share a indepth sight on the unknown supermo (interpreted by the creator's belief, knowledge & understanding) where Baba is +1 giving a positive angle on the path to be taken, Anbe Sivam 0, does not dare to take a stand but gives clue that one for all - all for one, and Naan Kadavul -1, draws in all the dark shades of Gods and Demi gods but emphasing on the cosmic concepts under backdrop of an imaginary 7th world of Jeyamohan.

Lets not embark there for the moment. Lets explore it little by litte while correct subjects are brought into discussion.

The above is entirely my POV.

Fanboy Comment (the fanboy in me has been poping out since I started writing this ... LoL) : BABA Rap => Ulitimate, tharu maru. (that should calm him now)

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Known is a drop, unknown is an ocean

.. he who knows him self knows all :)
who ever wrote these lines is simply talking about self realisation in a simple way, but one has to "Experience" it to understand it!

Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin About Superstar #Rajini's #Kochadaiyaan

Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin says "It will be a full-fledged commercial entertainer; nothing arty about this period film,” | Thanks to The Hindu

On Vinayakar Chathurthi, a bonanza awaits Superstar’s fans — the first visuals of Rajinikanth’s magnum opus are out today. His daughter and the film’s director Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin gives a glimpse of how the movie took shape

About two years ago, when Superstar was hospitalised and K.S. Ravikumar’s Rana got shelved indefinitely, fans prayed for his health and feared they would not see him in another film in a long time.

This Vinayakar Chathurthi brings good news for Rajini fans — the first visuals, a teaser of Kochadaiiyaan will be out. “There are heroes and superheroes. But there is only one Rajinikanth,” the teaser screams, showing a younger, healthier, photorealistic Rajinikanth walk in style, with dancers behind him and hundreds of extras in the background by a castle.

Commercial entertainer

“It will be a full-fledged commercial entertainer; nothing arty about this period film,” says Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin, in an exclusive interview. “It’s sad that when you say animation, people think of cartoons.

Kochadaiiyaan is the first photorealistic 3D film produced in India, through motion capture, performance capture through facial scanning, and intensive research and development of emerging technologies,” she says, showing us visuals of Rajinikanth with wires all over his face and a helmet.


“First, we scanned his face and made a 3D model to get the exact precision of his features, such as the scar on his nose. And then we corrected the 3D model by tightening his skin to make him look 25 years younger. They used that technology in Tron. So you will see a very young ‘appa’ as Rana, like how he looked in Muthu.”

Rana? “Yes, K.S. Ravikumar uncle wrote this as a prequel to Rana; the story of how he became Rana. Kochadaiiyaan is the father character, completely fictional, nothing to do with any Dravidian king. It’s just a name that means the king with the long hair, a lord Siva devotee.”


Superstar was flown to London to the studio at Centroid where they did performance and motion capture of his “takes”. “So I had to explain to the actors — Appa, Deepika, Sarath uncle, Shobhana, Jackie Shroff, Nasser, Aadhi and Rukmini — how they had to perform when they had nothing in front of them. They had to pretend there was an army rushing towards them, holding a pipe in hand for a sword. As difficult as it is for a director, it is even more difficult for an actor,” she explains.


“I was persistent. And you need patience when you are working with this technology because the process is like that. It’s about patience and reworking, and rework is death for us because it means you have to go back to step one. If there are 10 steps in the process, my 140-member team from Chennai did the first six steps. The last four steps are being done out of London and China, mostly China now. A lot of technicians from the U.S. have worked. At some point, we had 800 technicians working on the film at the same time.”


The most challenging part? “Well, many times the Rajini fan in me would come out during the shoot, and sometimes, the protective daughter. It was most difficult to split the roles of director, fan and daughter. It was like having a multiple-personality disorder.”

A Japanese version too!

Resul Pookutty has worked on the sound design and A.R. Rahman has completed the music in London for the orchestral background score. The film will be out in Dolby Atmos in three languages at the same time — Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. “We will also have an English and Japanese version soon,” she says.

“Projects such as this take six or seven years because of just the process. We have managed to get it done in record speed. The film will release by the end of this year. We have already locked the length — it’s about two hours and four minutes, quite long for a film made with this technology,” she adds.

A single composed by A.R. Rahman will be released later this month and the audio launch is being planned for October, around Navaratri.

Kochadaiiyaan Avatar

The biggest triumph for Kochadaiiyaan was bringing back late comedy actor Nagesh to the screen. “Even Imagemetrics who did the performance capture for Avatar was amazed because we brought an actor back to life. We used high-resolution images of Nagesh sir, scanned it and created a 3D model. We, in fact, could get a younger version of him. Since it’s a period setting, we needed somebody vintage like Nagesh sir. We then got actors who spoke exactly like him and those who looked just like him for the performance and motion capture,” Soundarya explains.

“This will open up a new market in the industry. This technology allows us to immortalise actors. For such films, you need experience, budget and time. Avatar Tintin We have broken some rules and managed to create a pipeline that will help us make films such as this within this time and budget.”

If (atleast) 50% of what we see in the teaser poster (the battle field) is brought on screen, the film is sure to make all possible "waves".

One doubt, is Soundarya targeting Pogo channel audience? Bomma padam madhuri iruku.

Hope it's not next mottai for her after 3. 125C budget & Rajamouli as director would've been ideal (like Eega.)

I didn't expect the movie to be on par with Avatar, though Soundarya was keen in marketing the product in the international arena by over hyping it

Considering the budget constraints, I expected it alteast to be a decent one with some great visuals(something on the lines of immortals of meluha) and rajini resembling to alteast 50 % of his original structure. but here some video games visuals have been translated to the teaser and thalaivar is reduced to caricature...

Caught the teaser a few secs after it was released. Gotta say I am disappointed. Visuals look as dated as the visuals of the unreleased Sultan from 2008. Budget wise, correct me if I am wrong but isn't replicating sets digitally much cheaper than actually building a physical set? This looks amateurish compared to 2009's Avatar or Tintin (Both of which were used by the makers as examples). I didn't have high hopes for this film but this was below what I expected. Let's hope K. S. Ravikumar's story and ARR's music helps offset the disappointing visuals.

To be clear, I am not saying this USD$19 million budget film should have comparable visuals to Avatar or Tintin. I'm just saying the visuals of this film looks like what a arts major did for his final year project.

I am sure , only KSR can save this movie with his screenplay ........:exactly:

Today (Sep 9) on Vinayaga Chathurthi day, the first look teaser of Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kochadaiyaan has been released. The producers Eros International released the teaser at 9.30 on Youtube, and it became an instant hit.

The teaser of Kochadaiiyaan says – “There are heroes and superheroes. But there is only one Rajinikanth.” The photorealistic Rajinikanth walks in style, with hundreds of dancers behind him against the background of a castle.

Kochadaiiyaan is the first photorealistic 3D film produced in India, through motion capture, performance capture through facial scanning, and intensive research and development of emerging technologies.

The teaser carries mixed reports from a section who watched it, as they feel the graphics are of poor quality and not up to international level. Anyway nothing to worry as there will be a huge audience for the film.

A single composed by AR Rahman will be released later this month and the audio launch is being planned for October, around Navaratri. The producers of Kochadaiiyaan is trying to release the film on 12/12/13, Rajinikanth's 63rd birthday.

[mappi]

Let me not get into a "replying" spree but stick to be general and talk about the teaser. For me, Kochadaiiyan rests as a prestigious project and I will always take a precautious step while talking about it. I would like to first talk about some aspects that I saw in the teaser, before entering into budjet constrains - direction - music - story and all, moreover setting myself a bit back from making global conclusions that too after watching a 1m10s teaser.

In the teaser, $$-$$ => seconds interval

18-20 - ariel view of a palace (seagulls noise) => Rajini not seen
25-26 - the arena (crowd cheering) => Rajini not seen
28-30 - horse back (horse nahing + horse foot-step & dust noise) => Rajini not seen
32-33 - warrior back, warrior jump (sword swing noises) => 1st time you see Rajini for a macro second
36-40 - explosion, Fullframe warrior, zoom on angry-face warrior (explosion sound followed by war horns) => 2nd time Rajini seen, this time a full 1 sec
43-44 - 1 leg thavam (lightening sounds masked with war horn thunders and sword swing noises) => Rajini, but the low-angle-camera does allow you to pin him out
47-49 - Horse ride, group dance, kick-sword-&-brutal-kill-with-spear, thin bamboo logs falling, King-arthur-style-sword-burying (drum box - possibly a war theme music) => 1st and last frame you have a quick glimpse of Rajini
56-58 - Raja Nadai (theme music - possibly intro song) => Full 2 seconds Rajini

So you have only approx. 17 secs of hyper-fast-editted visuals in the whole 1m10secs teaser. In that 17secs, Rajini is present for 5 secs and in that 5 secs, you actually see him for 3 secs and those 3 secs are a flash. Well ... (don't wish to continue further, think the msg is passed)

A teaser is not from the final cut. But what I saw was an enormous amount of precision on the contrast. The 3D models are fabulous, yet there is a problem with the scope. The scope correction is post-production process and I beleive its ongoing. The above is just an icing analyse, but if I take one such frame "kick-sword-&-brutal-kill-with-spear" was completely briliant. Each movement was captured throughly and in this brief second, the RR was excellent.

Comming to the final 2 seconds that seems to have disappointed many. Again all the movements, including the shadows of the group artists, the lighting effect while Rajini is walking towards us, not to mention the hair and face of Rajini are captured excellently.

[interz]

Pinning the highest hope on ARR. Even computer games have better graphics than This.

I thought indians were some of worlds best computer graphics makers, correct me if im wrong.

last few seconds was saving grace for me. I was happy to see his smile :) it was worth staying up nite till 1.00 AM!. Animation is little creepy in few places. I am 90% sure final product will be little better than what we saw in teaser. Entire teaser had too many slow motion Sequences you need stunning visuals to back it up , else it will fall flat just like this one.

Trailer illainga teaser...

[mappi]

Fine tune is the magic word that comes to my mind.
For ex : The horses : I don't think it was done using motion capture. Actually Rajini rocks (motion capture) as though he is on the horse, but the horse was added only after (3D animation). It has to be seen whether they make the horses look proportionate.
Well, I am not sure they have integrated all the images and models, also I do not have any clue on the softwares used - any info on that would be appreciated.
I also think that after the dubbing, there is tuning to be done on the animation to sink with the expressions and as usual some final touches.
The 2nd one, I don't know. Checking ....
What worries me is that, if the colorings are already done, its a pain to do a retouch on the corrections.
I sincerely hope they release the making off either in a book format or as a bonus material.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

While its pretty apparent that the quality is of no match to the ones seen in Avatar or Tintin, I believe we need to cut some slack. An effort has been made and it needs to be appreciated. Plus as mappi said, I believe the motion capture was only for the actors. Even in the case of Avatar, the riding of the mountain banshee and the great leonopteryx were done using simulators. And there wasn't a single close up shot of Rajni. There were a lot of medium shots. I feel the CU shots would be sort of an indicator of as to how well the motion capture has turned out.

[Avadi to America]

oru vazhiya intha teaser expectationa koraichuthu....

[mappi]

Yes, I totally agree with you on the CU. As I had mentioned, in the teaser there is only 17 secs of visuals, that was mistook by few as a technical analysis. But no, I just wanted to stress that with 17secs of (minimal) visuals what can we infer ? But still they have left behind some materials in the teaser that I personally felt that they have come out pretty clean. Another point to note is that there are no voice at all - no human sound, that puts some weird thoughts in me whether the dubbing is really completed or ... but it seemed as though ARR has finished his work. Avarum, Rasul Pookutti-um summa "chak-ting-sling-nu" RR la velaiyadi irrukanga.

On a personal Fanboy note : I would have mixed Billa2 + Rise of the titans for the teaser => the whole title card was a big draw back, nothing new in either color or fonts (see 2nd World for that). So, I would have cut those and showed only the visuals in a "eye-blink" manner, slowly increasing the interest and the momentum until the epic Rajini nadai. After the end title card, I would have closed the teaser with a soaring Rajini with a spear on top of a "red-eyed-evil-toothed-dolphin" with an epic ARR blast.
Actually, I was waiting for something like that in the end, but sat there just gazing the monitor !

Hope the trailer has some exiting stuff like that.

[Russellfws]

if nothing much can be inferred from a 17 seconds teaser then what was the point of releasing that and killing the konja nanja expectation that kochadaiyan carried from 2007 [esp after undergoing numerous title changes lol]...?

if nothing much can be inferred from a 17 seconds teaser then what was the point of releasing that and killing the konja nanja expectation that kochadaiyan carried from 2007 [esp after undergoing numerous title changes lol]...?

Then why buildup teaser then? Saarugaan put crores to hire foreign technicians from states to give Ra 1 the richness (movie be damned.) Coincidentally, that too was under Eros's banner.

Anyways, all hopes on ARR & KSR. Let's see.

Motion Capture

Introduction :
Motion capture has roots starting from the 70's which was widely used in the military. Its normaly addressed as MOCAP. It has its own strengths and weakness - which I will not be covering here, neither will I talk about its origin keeping in mind the interest of the audience. We are interested in Kochadaiiyan and the MOCAP.

So, basically there are 3 types of mocap :
1/ Mechanical - The performer wears a gear (includes gloves, arms, helmet etc) where the imbedded structure is hooked to his back. It has its own limitations like position and pointing of the performer which degrades the calibrations and has a big drawback on the calculation of the rotations as there is no absolute position. What it means in simple sense is that - each and every movement must be pre-written, so that each position is defined and the performer must do the same action on the various positions he takes to globally capture a 3D (360°) movement.

2/ Optical - The performer wears reflective dots (markers) that are followed by several cameras. The information is then triangulated with the markers using the mocap technology innovators like Vicon (tools - Cara & Blade). Its uses the physics term "conducting" to capture the emittings or reflections. This method is more flexible than the Mechanical mocap as the performer is free to move without any cables attached to him. The main drawback are the dots (markers) - the performer has to be careful not to interrupt its transmissions, else, it would result in the failure of the capture for that particular body. In these cases the whole act has to be redone as there is no possible corrections if there is no image.

3/ Electromagnetic - The performer wears a set of magnetic receivers which tracks his position thru static magnetic transmitter. The major problem here is the restriction with respect to distance. The magnetism decreases when the distance increases. The technology improvement has produced wireless magnetic systems but still the performer has to wear a heavy and bulky suit. It can be noted here that it’s one of the basic and primary mocap which was used in the military.

There are sub categories for mocap, for exemple : biofeedback sensing which measures bodily movement from the heart, brain, retina, eyes, skin, and muscles extensively used in medical, sports & music (let’s not see all the various available ones as this post is already getting bigger)

How Motion Capture works :
In a full body motion capture, the performer is glued with sensors (markers) in selected places of the body. A collective set of markers are configured into segment bodies with respect to the performers weight, body structure and influence (degrees of freedom). The real-time movements of performers like blinking, breathing, hand gestures, or the secondary actions like walking, foot hitting the ground & all the minute movements associated with such actions are captured live. The most tedious part are capturing the expressions. The mocap technology used (like Vicon) has inbuilt program components which optimizes the capture of the expression making it look more interesting on screen. Finally you got the voice recognition systems which allow almost real-time synchronization of mouth movements with words. On real time capture it will be out of sync due to the lapse between movement’s capture and words (remember lightning strikes before thunder concept). So what they do is they store the sound in the audio banks for information and reproduce it (using Rasul Pookutti ... LoL) and mix it with the images. Here again they use the ancient methods of dubbing to correct the lags or put back the sync. These are 2 things talked about KSR in his interview. As the mocap is usually associated with movement and not sound waves, much attention should be given to the audio bank. If it goes missing or not recorded it would turns the whole situation upside down and I suppose you will not have another choice but reshoot that particular scene. This is why I was talking about the problems while corrections.

Kochadaiiyan connection (What I can come up with, keeping in mind the limited infos circulating about the making) :
Its Optical mocap. I would bet on the Vicon Capture Technology using Cara. Cara is designed to make motion pictures of any size to bring characters to life through advanced facial tracking and capture. It is well versed for producing high-quality character realism. Whereas Blade is its optimization. You could have seen the clips of making of the movie where the actors were roaming about in green suit with dots on their faces and something clipped before their face. So you have your Optical green suit, the markers and the camera. Using wireless technology the information triangulated between them is captured. And then using the softwares the audio bank is constructed simultaneously.

Synthesis
Mocap is nothing but capturing full body movements, facial expressions and tracking any movement of environmental objects connected in real-time. High accuracy 3D motion tracking are used to track the multitude of sensing every angle precisely and for high speed motions, 4-tracker system is used to continuous register calibration of the capture area thru sub-millisecond latency data output for perfect real-time capture.


This brief (Nov I again used this word ... just kidding) post is just a drop on mocap. Now we are all set to discuss about Kochadaiiyan without bringing in other movies as the only source of information.

No bro, I did not mean it like that , Ayirathil Oruvan was "Primarily" based upon Chola dynasty, (though it had a pandian dynasty elements to it), so it would be interesting to see a story primarily based on Pandian dynsaty nu sonnEn that's all :)

What does it mean? I do not know what's the reason behind the delay....problems may include finance, technology, incapability to handle technology, poor project management skill, personal commitment...it could be anything...

I think the primary reasons could be finance and incapability to handle the project... but i'm sure for one reason... the teaser is better than SUltan-the warrior... I expect the movie will follow the same.

I think the primary reasons could be finance and incapability to handle the project... but i'm sure for one reason... the teaser is better than Sultan-the warrior... I expect the movie will follow the same.


The Way I looked at this whole Sultan / Koachadiiyaannnn Project was , it was Rajini's daughter's pet project. As a father he ok-ed his daughter's dream project period. Funding, schedule, technological challenges, More players like EROS, KSR getting involved all happened because of various factors like success of shivaji and enthiran and his health issues Rana got shelf-ed.

May be the whole team underestimated challenges , thinking just like our Indian offshore teams :). We can do anything and everything attitude without understanding what they are getting in to.
To make matters worse , Soundaryji went around claiming , this will be in- par with Bewolf (which was crude hollywood attempt using MO-CAP) compared to what they have done with this technology over the years. She created more buzz by involving some renowned western studios and making videos, I told people than it was immature and I am telling you now it is an immature marketing. So people had higher expectation from end product (maybe). I am not one of them :)

Knowing Indian standards , this end product will never be close to "International Quality". We lack basics things like Discipline, Creativity, Passion". I sincerely hope future generations come out of these boundaries and create something we are proud of.

This project is in right direction for creating a new market in Indian cinema. I am not sure whether this will be a 100% perfect product which will wow the audiences, that only time can answer.

All I (most RK fans) care is to see him on screen in some form.

[mappi]

A2A / Dilbert,
Yes, the problem could be anything. Given such a situation, I think Kochadaiiyan respected the TTM (time to market). Some "smoking smiley" poster exaggerated a bit pulling in the Sultan episode without knowing what to fish in which waters. That's a known syndrome when a person jumps from posting smileys to sentences.

I will not coin it as delay, but the time taken can be justified. As we don't have a proper data on the project execution, I would consider the lack of technology mastery playing a big factor. Secondly, the capturing part would have taken a while as its not the same type of screen-writing nor direction. Its a very demanding task for all the participants as "imagination" is the only clue given to them. Thirdly, the processing part which would have taken the most amount of time and as said by KSR each unit is placed around several corners of the world + one unit's final product is the next unit's initial requirement. So most of the units were paid to be on standby which shoots up the production cost. Add in the delay/errors which shudders down the project planning. Fourthly the major part is with the director to give in all the inputs to be integrated as the environment. Last but not least, coloring, corrections, music, RR and all. So the TTM is quite large and it would be interesting to see the road-map of the project, which we obviously can't.

If you take Sony, NaughtyDog or UBIsoft, they have their own technical team which could work round the clock for a year or 2 to bring out a final product. As a gamer, I followed few launch stuff through PS3 portal + followed the development of certain games. So I can see the delay when a project of this magnitude is taken up in India. Maybe Soundarya would open many doors for future aspects in TFI, but pathetically she got to take in all the criticisms too. I would support any director or film maker wrt illogical & personnel criticisms even though I am more towards the audience views.

In my POV a "lazy" director cannot even come out with a teaser and only a person who is "lazy" to understand could say au contraire.

[Avadi to America]

project like this needs a lot more preproduction work than regular movies including story narration and visualization....If they had started to do work on this script only after thalivar got ill (as KSR claims). Then I do not want to comment on their preproduction plan. I'm not sure how many years of experience she has in the industry to direct a full length movie or animation/cartoon/3D movie set aside the rajini factor which demands more from any technician. If she really wants to immortalize her dad, she should have started smaller project (like prototype) to test the water in terms of technical capability, financial viability and market reaction etc.
Comparing each and every movie with Hollywood is like comparing recent movies BO performance with enthiran in TFI....the bench marker is not going to change, at least for the near future.... It is rubbish to talk our movies is reaching the standards of Hollywood. slogans like "If we have money we could do better". Money is secondary in the world. As dilbert mentioned, we as Indians fundamentally lag few things.

What are they saying? I dont understand hindi

[mappi]

The video just briefs us about Kochadaiiyan by repeatedly telling us that its first of a kind film in India/Asia. Then ofcoarse the dish of the era - "Avatar-&-Tintin-same-technology-sucess". A bit about Photo Realistic technique - don't worry much, they just explain it in the lines of how to insert a pen drive in a computer and copy the file from it to the hard drive. Finally they sign of by saying that even their superstar SRK flopped Ra1, but can the god of Indian Cinema make a change with Kochadaiiyan.

If you wish to know the exact word-by-word details, let me know I can do it for you this evening.

And in the begining : Md. Tarik ... LoL. pesikittey irrukumbothu ... chup chup-nu off panitanga ammani ... LoL

[easygoer]

Provided that the movie would release surely, I foresee the following possible scenarios


1.The movie would come up with a great quality and not like teaser. (In this case, all the stake holders would be happy)

2. The movie would come up with a decent quality, may not be perfect but still worth to be called as passable effort.(In this case, the reception would be a mixed bag, but still the movie might coverup its costs)

3. The animation part may be average but still KSR's screenplay,dialogues and Rahman's music might save the show upto larger extent(In this case, movie might coverup its costs)

4. The animation might be very bad with good story & screenplay (Hard to guess, the move might fall on any way)

5.Both the animation part and story part might be average(Hard to guess, the move might fall on any way)

6.As dilbert mentioned, this movie might appeal to age group of 8-14 alone.(In this case, movie might coverup its costs, thanks to the family audience along with kids)

7.The movie would be bad altogether,including story, screenplay and animation(In this case, movie would be a complete disaster)

My assumption is that any Rajini movie with atleast something worth mentioning would attract larger audience. So scenarios (2) and (3) would be enough for the movie to have a decent run. Scenario (1) would ensure repeated viewing which in turn would increase the revenue largely.

I think, Scenario 1 is unlikely, I am hoping the movie would fall somewhere between scenarios (2) and (3) because the investors would be much more concerned about the ROI than us

I completely agree with the technological challenges and all the limitations including budget, director being a first timer, difficulties in understanding the technologies and effective usage of it etc.,but soundarya should be careful with her marketing statements

The better option available for the team is to first completely analyze the product, identify all the unique points of the movie, have a positioning statement that would list the unique points alone, hire a good PR professional and make the unique points alone prominent in all the communications, So that audience would atleast have an idea of what to expect from the movie

[easygoer]

where Selva showed the lifestyles of Chola dynasty? :huh: he showed totally a different culture...

:) What I mean to say is KSR would not get into so much detailing about pandiyan dynasty. To the maximum, he would have written the glorifying story of a warrior. SR would not fit into this format and whether he depicted the exact culture of cholas or not is a different story...

While the whole hullabaloo has been about the animations and its quality or the lack of it, people have conveniently forgotten the need for a good story and screenplay to back it up. I believe it is the single most important thing in a movie be it any genre. So hopefully the makers dont screw that up. The story from what I saw from the above posts sounds intriguing. So hopefully KSR and Soundarya have got their acts together on this.

Exactly, I'm seriously more skeptic about the story and screen play than the technical work. Those Hollywood animation movies had great story and visuals. If movie do not have good story and screenplay, people feel irritating after few awful scenes (????)

How do u know tat? Do u have any inside sources in KSR's unit? KSR directed many superhit movies not only with rajni and kamal but with many other heroes. I think his biggest mistake is his association with kamal. That too accepting direction to kamal's stories like manmathan ambu. Thats why you guys are interseted to shrink him to a puppet image like santhanabharathy and sangeetham had.

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Both villain and Varalaaru he brought story rights from some other. Surely he wud be having a decent team of ADs. Even without all this, i am not impressed by even his non Kamal/Rajni films. Just my opinion though!

Oh yeah he is surely above Santhanabarathi, he and Singeetham Srinivasa Rao cannot be compared. For me the later is a decent director.

manmadhan ambu was a good film, only problem was that imho, Kamal was over qualified for that role, may be Maddy in Kamal's role and some one like Ajmal / Jeeva in maddy's role would have made ppl appreciate the film for its value...and not over expect from such a light story

Bundling up all KSR laurels (you guys forgot Jaggubhai - the climax helicopter fight innum yen kannu munalaya irruku + Police giri partha adhirshtamum ennaku undu, full movie is there on youtube), so bundling up all KSR laurels, I feel that the theme they choose itself is a win-win suituation.

Let me explain : From time to time a period film takes a walk in TFI. And most of them were well received. Not going into other such movies in detail - if we take Chandramukhi, the Vettaiyan part was the biggest boost. When I saw it with my partner on the National French Television, she was completely hooked to the "lakakala" followed by the whole dance sequence. I got to constantly remind her that Rajini and Vettaiyan are 2 different persons where one is real and the other is reel, as she started to say that Rajini chopped the head off... LoL. So why I say that is - always an epic genre movie is welcomed. Each audience finds something interesting in it. If you take any dream-song sequence, a Historical backdrop visuals are instant hit than the swiss connection.

Taking Kochadaiiyan, for the mocap essay they could have gone for a complete fantasy or after the sucess of Endhiran they could have stuck with a sci-fi. But incarnating Rajini as a Prince adds more value (but ofcoarse I agree that the marketing strategy not being upto the point - they are hyping it as though Rajini is more than a super-hero - thats why I favored easygoer's crisp summary).

Actually, I wished not to talk about the fonctional parts and stick to the technical side as I found Mocap quite interesting and there is much much more to talk about. But as the arrows (posts) are pointing towards story-screenplay-direction, here is my guess (which comes with "maybe") : Kochadaiiyan is about a "chanakya-in-warrior-costumes". It could be about a Prince who with his manipulating technics gets back his kingdom, that which was forcefully taken from his ancestors. He gradually brings down the roof and exposes the throne upon which he claims his rights. I made that up after listening to several interviews. If its atleat 50% in these lines, it could be interesting, plus, add in 3 Rajinis : like (Muthu Style (a sageous calmness), Vettaiyan Style (an arogant one) + a Prince - that should come as a suprise (take Alaudinum Arputha Vilakkum as a reference). So, as my favorite star Uma Thurma says : Hey! what (else) did you expect, I suppose how the movie could proceed is already enough to keep "anyone" engaged.

What bothers me the most in the Mocap (accompanied with comparisons). Thats why I spent some time to talk about it so that we, atleast here, know its ups and downs. But what teaser has brought in (+ & -) will be doubled during the trailor release. Then you got songs release, promos, stills, posters before finaly the movie hits the screens. So lets get 'nitrogen booster pumps' installed to our fingers as there is much much more to type in.

'கோச்சடையான்' ட்ரெய்லரை யூ டியூப்பில் லட்சக்கணக்கான மக்கள் பார்த்ததால் பூரித்துப் போயிருக்கிறார் சௌந்தர்யா.

'அப்பா படத்துக்கு நல்ல ரெஸ்பான்ஸ் இருக்கு. தீபாவளிக்குப் படத்தை ரிலீஸ் செய்யலாம்' என்று சௌந்தர்யா சொல்ல, ரஜினி தாடையைத் தடவியபடி சின்னக்கண்களால் மோட்டுவளையை மேய்ந்தாராம்.

'தீபாவளிக்கு வேணாம் பேசாம பொங்கலுக்குப் போயிடலாம்' என்று மகளிடம் சொல்லி விட்டாராம்

என்ன காரணம்? என்று ரஜினி தரப்பில் விசாரித்தால், ''ரஜினி, கமலுக்கு அடுத்தபடியான ஹீரோக்கள் விஜய், அஜித் ரெண்டு பேருமே தங்கள் படங்கள் ஒரேநாளில் ரிலீஸ் ஆகறதை விரும்பாம தெளிவா தவிர்க்குறாங்க.

அவங்களே அப்படி இருக்கும்போது, ரஜினி எவ்வளவு யோசிப்பார்? தீபாவளிக்கு கமலோட 'விஸ்வரூபம்2' ரிலீஸ் ஆகிறது.

அப்போ 'கோச்சடையான்' படத்தை வெளியிட்டு கமல் படத்தோட ரஜினிபடம் மோதறதை விரும்பலை. அதனால்தான் ரஜினி சௌந்தர்யா பேச்சுக்கு செவிசாய்க்கலை'' என்று விளக்கம் சொல்கிறார்கள்.

:shock: One of the most tedious films I have ever seen.

If that is the case, KH does not know what his "real qualifications" are?! And he does not know how to choose the "what he qualified" to do? Whose problem is that? Not the audience problem!

He should know what he is qualified for. Or at least he needs to talk to shrinks like Rsubra before choosing any role and discuss whether he is overqualified or under-qualified or whatever. That's not our problem. We can only see what is presented in that movie. We are only going comment or criticize based on what was presented.

Some people can substitute different actors and watch that movie in their mind. Not everyone is as "gifted" as "Rsubra"! :lol:

[rsubras]

youtube hit record kodukkarathu oru periya vishayama...it all depends on the ppl involved in it....and in some cases, the kind of promotion that goes with it........ rather than quality of the actual product.....

KSR Rajni Combo will work Anyday. Not becos KSR is talanted(in fact its opposite ;) ) But its becos, his Asst.Directors would rush up with interesting storylines to impress KSR and thus Rajni, and obviously Rajni will easily choose a most interesting and commercially viable plot! So its becos of Rajni and the Aspiring Asst Direcotrs, KSR is just a tool and mere excecutor here! In Kamal movies, his role will be much more limited, hope that union doesn't happen in future

Which union? KSR-Rajni or KSR-Kamal?

I agree with you on KSR-Rajni. I think Ramesh Kanna (close associate of KSR) must have given inputs for Muthu/Padaiyappa. But given the background is historical subject, will KSR copy-paste from Magadheera (he's copied Athadu concept in Aadhavan, so not surprising.)

I agree that KSR should not work with Kamal for sometime now. That fellow Udhay spoiled MMA with his infusion of comedy in the latter half and then tweets that movie did not make enough at BO. Yet, this fellow is getting roles after that fluke hit in mOKkai mOKkai. <end dig>

manmadhan ambu was a good film, only problem was that imho, Kamal was over qualified for that role, may be Maddy in Kamal's role and some one like Ajmal / Jeeva in maddy's role would have made ppl appreciate the film for its value...and not over expect from such a light story

After seeing kamal in hefty roles...i did feel the same when i saw the movie.

Is Engae Pogudho Vaanam the same song in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDErUyk55Q ? If so, then it will be the second romantic duet sung by SPB for SS composed by ARR, the first one being Suthi Suthi. If it isn't the same song in the clip then we can expect another song sung by SPB for the mass intro sequence.

Puthiya Manida is my favourite song too but its execution in the movie was non-existent so can we call it an intro song for SS. Just sharing my thoughts on the song from different thread http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthread.php?8723-Boom-Boom-Robo-da-II-Shankar-Rajini-Aishwarya&p=593679&viewfull=1#post593679 I'm surprised why Shankar who delivered the best climax in Indian Cinema couldn't do Justice to ARRs song on screen. May be it was his choice or may be ARR's song so powerful that no cinematography will do justice to it.

In terms of execution than Balleileka stands tall any day

[PARAMASHIVAN]

If it isn't the same song in the clip then we can expect another song sung by SPB for the mass intro sequence. Of course! :)

http://caughtinthemusicalstorm.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/kochadaiiyaan-engae-pogudho-vaanam-review/

I’ve clearly let myself down. When the release date of the single was announced I thought to myself that I will enjoy the album as a whole and avoid temptation of being drawn to hear the single but the Rahman Ji fan in my mind lost the battle to the Rahman Ji devotee in my heart. If I spend more time with a single compared to the whole album that shouldn’t affect my likeness for the rest of the album, should it? Songs just come with the wind, some take you with them and some don’t.

I started listening to “Engae Pogudho Vaanam” with zero expectations as I’ve come to the stage where it makes me cringe if the fanatic inside me starts spurting pointless praise and also expectations create disappointments. It’s time for a superficial analysis and respect this song as ARR, SS & SPB’s debut. Impossible? No, never lol

So the song starts off like numerous Film scores from Disney but its SPB whose shoulders the song rides on. He carries the song from strength to strength. I’m no linguist but the pronunciation sounds so pure and so “Thamizh” unlike the “Madras Bashai” and “Tanglish” clogging up the scene these days. Rahman Ji has definitely taken the back seat this time and has let SPB take complete charge. By the way, whilst listening to this song did anyone else feel that SPB should have sung Arima Arima.

I’m not trying to say that Rahman Ji is completely overshadowed. The arrangement is very generic for this sort of song and there is no signature interlude that used be the highlight of his songs back in the day. But if we go beyond this retrospection then we can witness innovative elements in Rahman Ji’s composing style. Very Hollywood-ish is an understatement and I don’t want to sound defensive but no other song in the history of Indian Cinema has completely transported me to Hollywood. We don’t want him to be like them but who are we in deciding that? Conversely, the vocals sound very earthy reflecting the Royal Sangam Period. When SPB chants the lines, “Vetri Changoli Endrume. Oyaadhu… Oyadhu” then I cannot help but bow down the veterans calibre. The melody is very un-ARR-ish but immediately catchy and that itself proves the credibility that inspires many alike.

Rahman Ji has pushed the envelope for himself in giving full freedom to SPB. He squeezes in Carnatic and Medieval sounds in parallel that it’s hard to distinguish the two in this otherwise Complete Western Classical Score.

Where does Rajini Sir fit admits this? Rajini Sir is the skeleton and SPB is the flesh. The two are synonymous. Prior to SPB’s intro one can imagine him riding his horse at lightning speeds. To top this, in the film we will see him an animated avatar. Oh Gosh I’m really getting excited like a kid but I’m not going hang on to these excitement just yet.

Watch this space?

Happy Listening

super ji. Same pullarips


So the song starts off like numerous Film scores from Disney ...

Firstly a sincere write-up speaking the experience you had while listening to the song. Last night I visited the site and read several articles. Good ones. Bookmarked it.
Just wanted to mention that the opening was like making Superman doing a u-turn and going back to Krypton to retire in a chair, giving way for the Warrior Prince. The grandeur is extraordinary.

[SoftSword]

lol am good dilbert...
