rajafan/njv,
The ad is very brief, with beautiful shots of Maestro. It should be either a Serial on his life (as was mentioned some time back) or a program on his music. I am excited :)

Twinkle Twinkle little stars brought back memories of Anjali music
Reply to Digression : Hi tmrrmt, I am in Houston. Thanks for asking. Situation is pretty bad, with people struggling to get out. But latest forecasts suggest that the hurriane may not be as bad as originally thought.
uv, is it a positive or a negative remark?ie is it as good as Anjali or plain recycled stuff from Anjali?

The goodness of COA lies in the simple story, an outstanding performance by Navya Nair and soulful music of Ilayaraja. The film with its cute message seeped in real life situations will keep you engrossed. Elangovan (Thankar Bachchan) is a school teacher in Chidambaram who is a jack of all trades but master of none. He spends time with friends boozing, gambling and trying out new business that always fails.
His wife is Thenmozhi(Navya Nair) and has two daughters. Elangovan’s father (Pyramid Natarajan) and his father-in-law (Sundararajan) try to make him responsible towards his family but our man refuses to take up anything serious in life. On advice of everyone, Elangovan goes to Sabarimala after taking Vrath but returns to continue as sanyasi without being least bothered about his duties towards family. Fearing his wife and relatives he decides to join a mutt but there also he is unable to sustain.
In the meantime Thenmozhi works hard to educate her children. She is mentally prepared to live without her husband when Elangovan returns and pleads with her as usual. But this time Thenmozhi is not willing to pardon him and she ignores him. What happens then forms the climax and message of the film.
Thankar is disappointing as the protagonist, a role that Sreenivasan had made memorable in the original. However Navya makes up for it with a matured performance. Sundararajan and Pyramid Natarajan in the supporting cast are good.
Verdict: Average
Anyone seen it?
Looks like Raja's RR is good in COA too...
Thangar Bachchan has been under focus for allegedly demeaning actresses. In other words, he had targeted women. In Chidambarathil Oru Appasamuy,too, his target is again women. But this time around, there are bound to be no controversies as he has come up with a cloying sentimental movie that women, used to seeing maudlin tearjerkers on TV, would find it acceptable.
There are no Thangar's angst or underlying poetic pathos that one got to see in films like Thendral or Azhagi. Instead this is a family drama with the heroine Navya Nair and the music director Ilayaraja walking away with all the kudos. Though not in the league of his Azhagi, COA certainly leaves an impression on the audience for it carries a strong message rendered without much commercial compromise.
Though Thangar has disappointed as an actor, his directortial skills have been brought to the fore. The movie, which is a remake of a Malayalam hit Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala, will certainly appeal to the lady audiences. Navya Nair's matured performance and equally superb work by Ilayaraja especially in the background score adds much needed strength to this emotional melodrama.
