ஐ - Shankar + Vikram + Amy Jackson + ARR

Venkkiram,

While listening to Ennodu Nee Irundhal, did it cross you to refer to Elton John's piano Solos. I recomend his 'The Lion King' (Broadway) Musical (Esp. Can you feel the love tonight) [or a "Candle in the Wind"]. Also, if you are interested to take a walk around the Opera world (yes the one where trees sing too), I recoment 1986 Phanthom of Opera Musical. Two song should interest us wrt Ennodu Nee Irundhal - "The Point of No Return" and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again".

What ARR has brought is an altogether new form of taste to TFI audience. Anyone not quite used to Ballroom or Operas, for that Broadway theatre musicals will find it quite difficult to understand this song. Please listen to the above mentioned songs, Ennodu Nee Irunthal will make us proud. Like I mentioned earlier, ARR has shined a lot in this song, and sure it will get noticed and mentioned internationally.

My thoughts on I (in no particular order):

1. In an interview few years ago, Shankar revealed that he wrote the Anniyan script (and Indian and Mudhalvan) script for Rajni. In the original Anniyan script, he wanted Rajni to play the inspector who investigates a series of murders that take place in the city. The inspector later comes to know that the culprit is his split personality. Rajni didn't want to do it as he felt that his fans wouldn't like him playing an mentally unstable role. Then Shankar narrated a hunchback (koonan) story to Rajni - once again Rajni rejected it. Both scripts have now gone to Vikram (Anniyan and I).
   
2. Shankar has this fascination for the word "an" in his title (anniyan, mudhalvan, indian, endhiran). He must have opted for I (beauty) only because Azhagan and Perazhagan are already taken. (Azhagi too)
   
3. From the trailer and songs it is clear that Vikram plays a north madras guy who aspires to become a body builder and Amy plays a model. If you add the theme "beauty" to the mix, you can pretty much guess the whole story.
   
4. If executed properly,a get-up change normally brings the wow effect. When charan raj did a mottai in gentleman, it was wow because it added value to the story line. When Rajni became white / mottai boss, it was the same feeling. Poorly executed examples include the squint eye in avan ivan. It was unnecessary and it did not add any value to the story. Vikram has lost all that weight just for the Pookale song. Shankar confirmed in one interview that the weight loss was not his idea, but Vikram's. Seriously? was all this required for a 4 min song? Completely unnecessary in my opinion.
   
5. I am guessing Ladio would be the opening song (like shakalaka baby in mudhalvan). Shankar usually has the song with good beats immediately after the interval (Gopala Gopala etc). Aila Aila fits the formula.
   
6. Vaalee is sorely missed. The lyrics (apart from a few) are pretty ordinary. For rhymes like "ladio / kodio", you don't need a full time poet. Santhanam and his lollu sabha gang could have done it.
   
7. Shankar's fascination for white skinned heroine continues. Lakshmi Rai, get ready for a call from Shankar soon.

People are not demanding the directors to cast white skin girls. It has never happened. I mean how do the directors know we want to see fair skinned girls? It is just an excuse they use to keep casting fair skinned sexy girls. It is the directors that cast fair skinned girls in movies. Maniratnam started it, casting northies in tamil films and other directors continued the trend.

He also has a fascination for slim girls. Madhubala (Gentleman), Aishwarya Rai (Jeans/Enthiran), Shriya (Sivaji), Genelia (Boys), Sada (Anniyan), Illeana (Nanban) and Amy.

Actually MGR started it in (If I am not wrong) Idhayakkani. Rathi was introduced by Bharathiraja in Tamil; Khushbu, Nagma by Rajini ; Dimple by Kamal. Mani came in later.

Is this Vikram or someone else?

Khusboo and Nagma by Rajini'ngrathu konjam over.

Though it has happened before, there was no trend. Directors were still casting plenty of tamil actresses and all of those directors worked with tamil actresses again. I don't think it applies for Mani. But my point is that audiences not to be blamed for that.

C'mon, you cannot get lower. Vikram is a well rounded actor compared to Ajith, Vijay & Surya.

Guess you haven't watched Sethu or thandavam then!

He has shown enough dedication for the roles he has done. I don't know what impact it will have on I. But from what I have seen, he has justified his changes in looks!

Other than Sethu and couple of macho roles, he has shown no versatality. Any films where he exceled in romance or comedy? He is only good at putting on weight, shedding it, putting a lot of make up and looking different. But when it comes to performance, he doesn't have it in him. Calling him all round actor is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. His Pithamagan performance is not unanimously appreciated because people could find the difference between a good performance and good make up plus average performance. Same goes to Anniyan. Lot of hard work in looking different but performance? Remo ellam romantic'aa? Anniyan exposed Vikram for what he is. Raavanan eppudi? He looked macho but his performance was loud and crass, not class.

Vikram doesnt know to perform....? Varae va :notworthy:

Are you serious?

No doubt vikram is the better actor after kamal in Tamil cinema..both of them could have become superstars(I mean so called no:1 spot) if they wish to do only commercial movies

I just said what I observed as you mentioned yours. Serious or not, you need to decide.

Oh ok You are not serious. Intha nerathila rakesh kumar is sorely missed in the hub.

to be honest, after sometimes liked ARR sir album.. totally satisfied with all the songs.. my pick as below
1.Enodu Nee Irundhaal (Both Version)
2.Aila Aila
3.Ladio - 32 22 32 :) Amy Jackson :)
4. Mersalaayiten
5.Pookalae Sattru Oyivedungal

I could not even reply to this comment of yours. Who do you think could have honestly pulled off roles like Sethu, Pithamagan or Raavan with such ease? Being an Ajith Fan, I have to confess he cannot pull it off. I don't want to comment about vijay or surya. May be Kamal, but he is too old for such roles.

BTW I guess you haven't watched Dhill or Dhool. His comic timing is pretty good. He can also carry out macho roles like dhool, gemini and saamy with absolute ease.

ok, I won't waste any more time. But please be objective when you post. I find it funny that people choose to slander Vikram for his performance out of all actors!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Vikram and Surya are the only "actors " in the current, era, Dhanush is good as well, the rest are all Entertainers, and there are few comedians ( in the name Actors) !
