Glad that you watched the movie / more glad that you like it.
Can't deny that. But its reverse also. For ex: eventhough I cannot backup this, RocknRolla chase scene is a sure lift from BlackFriday Chase scene.
Have watched several times, each time taking time to analyse the forte in the script, I feel that Ravikrishna's character Sappa was potrayed in a irritating manner - be it the voice, his hair style, even his sandals, his mannerism, his questions ... etc., your intolerence towards this character is the victory to the creator. Why was this character carved like that - Simply not to become the light of sympathy and overshwadow Subbu's character towards the climax. The climax is meant for Subbu and the fate of Sappa should not be a road block in the viewers mind eventhough Sappa's fate was pathetic.
I did not want to mention this Movie in the VR thread and depress KH fans more. But there are art works those which suffered and are sufering. AR is one such work and in the process we lost a creative talent TK *sigh*
