So overseas not much hurdled by the events happening here. Yet this is disappointing keeping in mind the form in which vijay is :(
joe sir, in case of Vishwaroopam, it was clear that JJ wanted Kamal to come to her first before going to court. She stated that openly in her press meet.
I dont think she will be much bothered abt Vijay and his movie. As usual she must have insulted SAC badly if he had gone to her asking for a seat.
Here the govt has not banned the movie. infact, nobody has banned it.. Just that theatre owners are afraid to release it .. could be a hoax call also.. the opposing group was never heard ever before..
Just got home from FDFS here in Singapore.
Movie started with a thank you note to a few directors including Mani Ratnam from ALV. First half was full comedy and romance except for a few scenes in the beginning and end. Santhanam was excellent. Every line he uttered was hilarious. Amala Paul was bearable. 2nd half was full on action and drama with tiny bits of comedy. Vijay was excellent. His range of emotions were a joy to watch. If I was to be completely honest, there weren't as many 'wow' moments like in Thuppakki. That being said, I enjoyed this film more than Thuppakki. Sathyaraj also did his role justice. The movie reminded me of Sarkar in more ways than one. Sarkar is to Thalaivaa like how I am Sam is to Deivathirumagal, no matter what ALV says. Even my dad, who thought Thuppakki was an average film, admits this was good. That's enough for me.
100cr isn't a problem. ALV didn't screw this up. First half seemed a tiny bit lengthy but second half was taut and crisp. Choreography of all songs were commendable, especially Tamil Pasanga. 2013 is Vijay's year too. :)
it is time these theatre owners showed some spine and release it .. kandavennellaam inimel phone-la mirattal koduthu business-e nadakka vidaama panniduvaan ..
TFU Kannan updates there's no release tomorrow in TN. Other TFI trackers give some hope by asking to wait for some more time and final decision hasn't been taken !
Anban,
Stopping a movie release for a hoax call has never ever happened in the history of TN. If at all a theatre receives such a call, its the duty of the government to make sure that the security is beefed up. For a govt which boasts of 'perfect law and order', this is not at all a big issue.
JJ is not going to provide police force for cinema .. that she has made clear a lot of times .. sandiyar shooting and vishwaroopam release are examples.. but here, the movie is not banned.. there is no legal/political stay on the movie.. just that the theatre fellows are afraid..
one more thing, i think they want protection and tax exemption .. ethaavathu onnu thaan kedaikka vaaippu irukku .. tax kattaatha movie-a ethukku sir protection-nu govt kettaa enna bathil sollrathu ??
