Thanks Ajay. Read the plot and looks quite similar to IU.

1. Arya-Anushka chemistry fails big time. When the foundation itself is not there, what is the point of building the building. The whole story has love as the basis, but when it is not at all evident, the entire narration collapses.
2. Parallel universe/world does not mean a universe several billion billion miles away from Earth. It just means a different dimension. For easier understanding, when you are having a dream, aren't all images and conversations real? That IS a different dimension. A dimension that you can cross easily, not something that you need to take a rocket to. Therefore Arya crossing over to the other universe in a split second doesnt make sense if it is a far far away world.
Parallel universe concept is science fantasy not religious myth.
3. In a parallel universe people speak the same language, and if they can understand maadu they should understand madhu too. :roll:
And why are the characters white?
That aside, SR fails big time in story telling - the basic in any film. Screenplay is extremely slow and this one-line story is hardly interesting.
A few people walked out mid-way while I had a difficult time trying to keep awake. Lost it after a while :fatigue:
Positives: Light humour in first half. Nice BGM by Anirudh. Decent CGI. Songs ok too.
Mahen is right, Anushka doesnt look attractive and if I meet this character in real life, I won't give her a second look. Too manly for me :shaking:
Verdict: Good film to watch when you are having insomnia.
இணையத்தில் செல்வா ரசிகர்களின் வாதம்: சரமாரியாக வரும் காமெடி படங்களுக்கு நடுவில் வித்தியாசமாக படம் கொடுத்ததற்காகவே செல்வாவை பாராட்ட வேண்டும். இந்த படம் ஓடவில்லை என்றால் தமிழ் ரசிகர்களுக்கு ரசனை குறைந்து போய் விட்டது என்றுதான் அர்த்தம். இன்று இப்படத்தை மொக்கை என்பவர்கள் பத்து வருடம் கழித்து இதே படத்தை கொண்டாடத்தான் போகிறார்கள்.
வித்தியாசமாக எடுக்கப்பட்டதாலேயே ஒரு படம் நல்ல படம் ஆகி விடாது. பீட்சா,நடுவுல கொஞ்சம் பக்கத்தை காணோம்,நான் ஈ போன்ற படங்களும் வித்தியாசமான படங்கள்தான். இதே ரசிகர்கள் அப்படங்களை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளவில்லையா? இயக்குனர்களுக்கு சற்றும் புத்திசாலித்தனத்தில் குறைந்தவர்களல்ல ரசிகர்கள். தான் சொல்ல நினைப்பதை ரசிகர்கள் புரிந்து ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளும்படி படத்தை எடுப்பவரே நல்ல இயக்குனர். நான் நன்றாகத்தான் படம் எடுத்தேன். ரசிகர்களுக்கு அதை புரிந்து கொள்ளும் அளவு பக்குவம் வளரவில்லை என்று ஒரு இயக்குனர் எண்ண ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டால் அவருக்கு அழிவு நெருங்குகிறது என்று அர்த்தம். செல்வா அப்படி இதுவரை எந்த கருத்தையும் உதிர்க்கவில்லை என்பது ஆறுதல்.
பத்து வருடங்கள் கழித்து இந்த படத்தை கொண்டாடினால் மகிழ்ச்சியே. ஆனால் அதை பார்த்து மகிழ படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளர் இருப்பாரா என்பதுதான் கேள்வி.

Love has different types and according to its type it takes a form. Eventhough Love is broken into 4 major parts, the sentiment we get thru Love forms its types. The 2 types, affection and intimacy defines a relationship. Each has its own abtract connections like commitement or infactuation which drives the human body to its goal. The other dimension of Love co-exists where you see a face when not experiencing the positive side of Love. For exemple envy or obsession. All of them put together forms an universe by itself bonded by emotions which is blossomed by either the presence or the absence.
Here is a film maker who wish to tell us this complex mechanism thru 2 thing, his understanding and his expectation. Thus Irandam Ullagem is born. The 2nd world itself is a world broken into 2 - a loveless one and a hatred one. Here its interesting to note that hatred was born even before love - its seen that through chaos hatred self seeds itself, and this word chaos is a primary word for Parallel universe. Thus comes in our world, the one we are living in. Its made of a mixture of all the types of Love and its side effects. So you already got 3 type of worlds here : mixed world, loveless world and hatred world. Now, if we take the love from the mixed world and put it in the loveless world to defeat the hatred world - is it possible ? Yes, it is, according to the film maker. The God of faternity works night shifts to bring in a process which permits this theory to happen. She plots a chaos in the mixed & loveless worlds, which activates the key to open the mystical portal where the 2 worlds meet for a fraction of a second. Not stopping there, she uses the mixed world's love to mingle with the loveless couple and make the 'Need' which was absent in the 'Desire' to bloom, thus supressing the hatred world.
There is much much more to it but keeping in mind the universal thumbs down for the film, I rest here. Irandam Ullagam may have missed to ignite the interest of many, but when properly allowed to, it could have casted an ever bounding spell. Key : There is always much more than the regular eyes meet.
Irandam Ullagam : Bold Fantasy-Fiction
Interesting point you have made mappi. I am sure Selvaraghavan is not your everyday NYSNYD film director. But as any CEO will tell you, its the results that matter.
In filmmaking the three most important things are execution, execution and execution.
Good points Mappi. Looks like you are trying to defend Selva. But Selva is in a very confused state of mind and it is very much visible in this movie.Quote:

CR,
I am not defending SR or IU, the damage is already done to both. I am just saying that we could have been more lenient towards the movie. Moreover, I just gave the layout of the movie, not in defense, but for those who are going to see the movie. Now they have 'some' material to look into. And I absolutely do not mind if they dislike the movie.
Nov,
Personally I did not find anything weird or warying in the execution. The story taken was well crafted with situations, by making a huge point in characterization and establishing their contrast. Exemple :
Madhu's father is physically challenged and places all his bets on his beloved son, where as Maravan's father challenges everyone physically and hates his son for what he is.
Ramya is surrounded by family and friends and lives inside a self-made or social cirlce, where as Varna is an orphan, all alone by herself without any boundries.
Likewise, the romantic parts and the proposals are parrallelly narrated which have striking resemblance not only circumstantially but in visuals too. SR has given much importance to the costumes and colors to match the visuals of the 2 worlds and sustain the continuity. The narration can be split into 3 important phases : the couples in each world, the portal and finally the unification. So you have romance, spirituality & peace after war. These thing were stretched with main stream elements during execution. The assemblage was neatly done. Highlights are sequences starting from the dog until Madhu reaches the 2nd world, which were crisply handled. For me, all these are "execution".
Not that I just want to talk about the good things, the film has its faults. The major one is not that the film is complex but it being quite brutal. See, you have fantasy tugged into reality, making a philosophical circle on the spiritual path and suddenly meeting the center, to the point which it initially wanted to make. Now with that, how can you convince the audience when the rhythms chosen are contrast to each other ? To make things worse, you got story within a story like the "puranas" style. Even though its quite understandable, it stresses a lot the viewership.

A good example is Dasavatharam - a paper thin story but with excellent screenplay.
I saw you defending / praising many movies :) had there been any movie that you did not like at all?Quote:

If they are at a considerable angle, the movie gets a good reception. IU syndrome is quite simple to understand, and it solemnly weighs huge on SR. With annex to the brutality factor, here is the summary -
While watching a movie, the journey is like following the film maker by holding the rope which is tied to his belt. If the film maker moves faster or sways a lot, the audience have no other choice but slide down and reach the end of the rope. Now they are hanging in there and whatever the film maker tries to do to pull them up goes in vain. Its here the critics/reviews play a big part. Seeing the reviews as though IU is about "boy-meets-a-girl-on-a-rainy-day" made me come up with a description. Even though I say SR should have opted to be true in which ever channel he wished to travel - and sliding down and coming back pulling the audience along with him just back fired - but neither the audience nor SR should be blamed.
I am not a drunken fool to not give SR the credits. He is definitely up there among the best. konjam thadukkal... he will find his footing again.
I read somewhere that a lot has been changing since he first started making this movie seven years ago. Could be the reason...
LoL rsubras. There are plenty, just that they are not quite visible as I do not talk much about them, just say a line or two if necessary. I do not review all the movies, it has to convince me first. But there are few movies, recent ones like OA, IU, SK etc., which took me to my library. When a movie does that, it brings me an immense joy to speak out for that movie. So when I talk about these movies, its normal that it will be full of praises and appreciations. But I respect others likeness factor always. I just open the store, get what you wish. Not every client is a customer. If we like the movie, we have a lot to discuss, if you did not like the movie, lets join hands for some other movie, is the pattern I usually try to follow. That allows me to talk with anyone and everyone. It benefits me a lot - I learn.
where is the LIKE button, mappi? :)
Nov AnnE, there is :thumbsup: which can be used..Quote:

While the premise was mildly intriguing the way it was handled was anything but good. And Arya was a complete miscast. A better actor could have salvaged the movie. And certain scenes were so poorly constructed from an aesthetic point of view that I found it hard to believe that it was the same guy who gave us Pudhupettai and Aayirathil oruvan ( not perfect either but good enough for a non average, looking for something out of ordinary movie watcher like me). On paper the story looked good enough but the treatment left a lot to be desired. I will watch this movie again though. I went 15 minutes late to the movie and was a part of a raucous audience which grew impatient by the time the movie went into the second half. But more than that I would like to know as to what the director missed out and would like to deconstruct it a little more. ( see spoilers)There were some striking similarities to the concept of the 'The tree of life', a theme that was used in the movie, The Fountain . For example the growth of a plant from the place where Ramya dies is so similar to how Tom planted the seed in Izzy's tomb which in turn allowed him to find immortality)..
