In MM, there is a scene where, one of the DILs gives the child to her parents when Saranya (her MIL) comes because, Saranya is asthmatic (or TB or something) and she doesn't want the child to be with her.
The son hits her for it and his wife's parents also reprimand her for using them to keep the child away from her MIL!
This is pretty new, isn't it?
The 'kodumakkaara marumagaL' merged with the 'protective mother'.
The husband actually says: 'even if my kid dies because of some infection contracted by being close to my mother, so be it'.
indha mAdhiri clash of values ellAm assault-A koNdu vandhiruppApla.
I think I mentioned about the final fight in this thread earlier when I saw the movie on TV. An example of the 'natural' fights that we see more often now.
final fight...? marandhuruchu :oops:
ya i remember that sequence...
andha maadhiri sequence ellaam paakra mental strength namakku nemba kammi :(
and the kodummakaara marumagal also comes under a sterotype..
i am waiting for a character which fights hard with the family members one day and being so affectionate with the same people the next day... thats how i have seen the family characters around me...
koodalum oodalum kaadhalil maatthiram alla..
:) why u rejecting it? One of the family plots (based on naanjil naadan's naaval) executed well by Thangar.Quote:

Solla Marantha Kathai mega bore and very *trying*. Perhaps the only good thing about SMK is, it was ShreyaG's first with Raaja :-) :-) (though her singing/diction was way below average) I also like edhO onnu song and cheran's summing in the sand :lol2:

Well. That's interesting. But I still like the plots that are dealing with straight forward Black-White moves too.Quote:

Nerd,
Was it not 'Enakku piditha paadal' the first?
Softy,
MN and MM are my guilty pleasures. Edho onnu vachurukkanya andhaalu..

Ulagile Azhagi needhaan has the mix of nice rhythms, WCM , carnatic violins, sitthaar and synth - junior jesappa doing a neat job..
Konji konji - is breezy with karthik sounding really nice..
my pick is "Kaasu kaiyil illaatta" = pure raaja magic..

VV, yes, I have personally seen such black families.... more than just a few.
Julayi - :oops: Except few comedy scenes and the love track, nothing was great. It was predictable. Allu Arjunukku ellam therinjidum pola. Intha Character software la irunthiruntha ella company future ayum predict panni iruppaar. Avvalavu Smart :lol2:
since there are no thamizh movies to watch... I would like to recommend...

It hasn't released in India. Waiting for it.

jeeva as hero, pranita as his gf, santhanam as his buddy, satyan as sirippu police, prakash raj as bully police, nandhita as refugee mum :frightened:

Seeman as the paasam-kObam pongum brother - also works well.
When Singampuli asks TG in the end of the movie, if he can lift him - how to they anticipate if such moments will work or not?
I wouldn't be surprised if some people found that funny and overdone.
ellArum solRIngaLEnnu muththukku muththAga-lErndhu kAlaila sila scenes kettEn/pAththEn. Felt the same way as mAyANdi kudumbaththAr (which I've seen in bits and pieces earlier, saw some scenes this past weekend too). Almost entirely templatized. For instance, the same 'logic' of Tarun Gopi doing something 'extra' to a relative and the relative repenting is repeated multiple times (in mAyaNdi kudumbaththAr). Exceptions of Ilavarasu, Saranya et al. aside, the performances don't add any value either.
singampuli's best performance till date...
and seeman, i thought it was a matured performance...
as pr says, tg did his part well... aana vera yarayachum pOtrukkalaam...
My vote in this terrain goes to Thangar Bachan who can be very effective. Better than Cheran in my books.
and ur take on SMK...?Quote:
