Maddy, andha like-for-like dhaan kashtamngarEn. This is what I said "inge varudhu anga varalainA, anga varadhu inga varalai". You may not like Bala's films, but can you deny that they push the envelope, and expand the horizons as much as(arguably more than, in that they come with popular acceptance) No Smoking. Except Dev D, none of the avant garde Bolly movies are decent hits - Maqbool flopped, Omkara was at best average return; kaminey itself, despite being masalaic, is only average.
To make movies like Pithamagan, and Naan KadavuL, and shove it down the throat of a kicking and screaming tamil mass movies fan, and make him accept it - now, thats a director with a vision, and guts, and ability.
I mean, Pithamagan fantasy-nA, No Smoking enna? magic realism? surrealism?
Maqbool was a hit I say
Does the success of Maqbool mean that the Hindi filmviewer has come of age appidinnu Abbas Tyrewala kitte kELvi kEttu...essay ellAm vaangi pOttAnga ToI-la
No, I dont think so. Look at reviews for Kaminey, people accusing him of selling out by compromising because his previous movies failed commercially.
Hit/Flop - very difficult to say sitting here. Everyone interprets according to their convenience dhaan. But I did read somewhere that he had difficulty finding finance for Omkara, because the money bags were afraid he'll make a maqbool, and he had to rope in stars like (sic) Garina, devagaNam and Safe aligaan so as to sell the movie.
I saw an interview of VB where he says Maqbool was profitable
Naan Mumbai multiplex heartland-il paarthEn...adhunaala I am incapable of providing evidence to the contrary.
Kaminey sell-out aamaa.....adhu maadhiri inge yEn sella maatraangannu kEtta market, culture, sand smell appidinnu ellAm solraanga.
Nevertheless, I object to any appraisals that the average Bollywood fan can think beyond Love Aaj Kal or at the best, Kaminey. Chumma chumma tamizh audience make mass movies of Asith-Visay hit=nuttu, ennamO bollywood fans are intellectual rangeku build up kudukka koodadhu. Fact is Yashraj-Johar-and-now-LoveAajKal types are as much staple to them as the Vijay mass movie to us. It doesnt make the average bolly movie better. What raises their average is the avant garde(Mithya, Cyrus kinds) totally uncompromising movies. The fact that they can be made and released, even if not profitably, is a plus. We dont have that here. That is a problem to be addressed.
