Nijamaadhan solreengala :roll: I found it quite tedious with bucket load of characters serving no purpose. First one is still the best, IMO.

+1. Quite an watchable film.

I had doubts whether I could overcome watching Sivakarthikeyan as male lead. But its good to see he is in the field where he can be compared to the stars he makes fun of. I think this role was tailor made for Vimal. Director Ezhil took a big chance using a TV comedian as a male lead in movie but it paid off. Sivakarthikeyan fits as the useless son who gives dad more grey hairs on the head.

Heroine is very stereotype, she reminds a lot of the female lead in Milaga (which no one else watched). As usual playing hard to get despite the love she has for the male lead.

Biggest plusses are comedy and songs. Singamuthu and the bearded guy I saw in Velayutham, Sreenath, Chams and villain brother makes it enjoyable when the movie is getting a tad boring.
D Imaan is very good at moment, all songs are suits the mood of the movie.

Kudos to Ezhil to make a simple and neat village based movie.

wow...
Now coming to dialogues - piraisoodan has done a great job - sometimes he chooses to use the original sanskrit word as is and sometimes he gives lip sync a damn and translates - effect is that with music and sound track - the movie really crosses chittoor border and eases into thamizh nadu territory.
special mention to whoever did art direction - andha kaalaththu bala mithra, ambuli maama paintings 3D la paartha effect and that is another clincer for this movie - to see it in big screen is a bhagyam to eyes and I envy those who did.
nayanthara - this is the role of your lifetime and thank GOD you realised and GOD helped you by opening your eyes to the bearded monkey you were about to live with - aanmeegamaa kokkaa?

yes, Piraisoodan's dialogues & lyrics were good..
didn't felt like watching a dubbing film

Art direction.. i thought most of the sets are graphics similar to "Magadheera" flashback..

soft.. print summa paLingu madhiri irundhadhu.. 700 mb thaan

கொஞ்ச வருடங்களில் கிளாசிக் லிஸ்டில் இதுவும் சேர்த்துவிடும். What a performance from Sangeetha! We also tried the "foot finger shaking" trick to our elder son at home recently. திருட்டுப்பய! வசமா மாட்டிகிட்டான்!

:thumbsup: Well, i've reached the point of saturation. Remba vaatti paathutten, inime thaangaradhu kashtam but for those who liked it, definitely worth revisiting.
P.S: Inga channel (DVD also) kavidhai cut. Before the release, i didn't want the kavidhai to be included in the film. Aana first time theater la paakumbodhu pullarippu, poorippu, appalappoo. Second time theater-layum nalla andhar. Never got to see it after that :(

Jai, ennoda views ellam seriousA edutukka koodathu. See my username, its not Nolan070

Venkirram, waiting for my son to grow up. Don't agree on Sangeetha.

Bala, "appalapoo" :lol: They cut out the poem from this (TV) version too. Wife says Kamal looks the best here :roll:

venki,
make sure ur son does not watch the movie, otherwise he would trick u...

its very nice in every watch but i would stop when the aalmaaraattam drama starts...
maddy is :thumbsup:

Watched 'oncemore'. Loved NT in it more than VJ. Such cheekiness and charm, I was floored. I need to watch more of his movies, but getting links has been a nightmare.

leelai - interesting and very gripping..
the performances of the leads were also apt...
nice to see such small movies with realistic plots...

I want to believe that the girl did not know who was who when she was speaking to both her friend and enemy (she doesnt know they are the same person)

I mean, being intelligent and all she would have recognised that both the voice were the same, no?

you are right nov... she shd have, but she did not..

thats a major flaw SS :lol2: karthik/sundar konjam kuda voice change pannalei..btw, movie was not bad..last 20 mins thaan konjam drag pannitanga..songs were quite good too..hero heroine :thumbsup:

songs ellaam forward... porumai illa :oops:
but i agree they were not bad...

vazhakku eN...dhiNdukkal kArar director...

oru thadavai pArkkalAm...ok but not great...

Having said that overall, the "encounter" scene is one of the best in TF!

spoiler begins
I meant the sweet-revenge scene
spoiler ends

Manankothi Paravai.

Sivakarthikeyan is definitely not a hero material. Barring that, the film was watchable.

Stumbled upon this link & started watching...couldn't stop...sweet movie (meeNdum kOkilA, first time watch):

Per this listtu , Sridevi got TN SA for the kOki role it seems. Award-worthy or not, it was thoroughly enjoyable. And, she makes it appear so easy :-)

I assume it's the guy who acts as school mate of Dhanush in 3. If so, he is definitely not any kind of cinema material. Should stop with TV anchoring.

agree with ajay and not app..

cine field has enough 'alavalAthi' fellows from TV (another e.g. santhAnam)...let's not encourage this :wink:

sevuththukku veLLai adikkiRa ALungaLai (automatikkA, with no other qual) car-kku paint adikka vaikkiRa vElaiyai niRuththa sollaNum...

adhu kooda paravaala similar profession... saanai pudikkiravanai kootti vandhu car'kku paint adikka vekkiraangalae... adhukku enna solringa?

Sivakarthikeyan has a good support and lots of fans. Read comments for most Sivakarthikeyan vids on youtube. He is very funny on TV shows be it Kalakka Povathu Yaaru, Kings of Comedy, Jodi no. 1, Super singer, Adhu Idhu Edhu. He just quitted the show Adhu Idhu Edhu to focus on cinema.

He might not be hero material, but has great potential in comedy. Compared to current comedians he is among top comedians IMO. Furthermove he is like a mascot of Vijay TV, Vijay TV wouldnt hesitate to produce a movie with Sivakarthikeyan as lead.

Agreed totally ..

Interz,

My cousin who is a +1 student says that, in her school, Sivakarthikeyan has more female fans than the top ranked heroes.

Of course ! I think someone is misleading him with hero dreams. He can easily become a good comedian.

I agree with Ajay and App!. Siva.K has more fans among the serial watching family audience. His reach is definitely good and haven't seen close relatives missing a single episode of A.I.E. But he hasn't impressed me with his acting(?) as well as his comedy(?!). 3 was mokkai. He has to realize that acting is different from compering

BTW, I didn't mean to say "he should stop as he'll never become one" :oops: (muyaRchi thiruvinaiyAkkum, veLLaththanaiya malar neettam etc applies to everyone, including this brilliant young man)

What I simply don't understand is the "logic" that 'if someone is great on TV, he has to be automatically good on cinema'. That seems to be the problem with him (or those who promote him). One has to think / work in terms of cinema to be good there.

Unfortunately, in TF field, it's great time for mediocre artists. If Santhanam is celebrated as #1 comedian today, why not this boy #1 tomorrow...
