padam super duper ille - adhe neram waste um ille
movie has no message or twist turns etc - especailly it doesn't have nenjai nakkara scenes that you might expect from similar movies
it just shows the various characters who visit the bar over two days. interesting.
oru sirukadhai padicha madiri irundudu - the movie was based on naanjil nadan's story
worth watching once.
18 Vayasu : The climax Bull Fight is worth discussing.
Highlight : well Choreographed sans Special Effects.
Immediate comparison : STR's Kalai climax - you will see the difference.
moonRam piRai - revisit.
Initially planned to only watch certain scenes but ended up watching every second of it once again (including the YGM / silk scenes, only exclusion was ponmEni songu)!
:thumbsup: to the whole team, splendid job!
Ha ha! The sensuality tone is actually lesser in ponmeni song ( because of enriched aesthetical dance movements) when compared to Silk dialogue Scenes! Surprised you were able to sit and watch Silk scenes and skipped ponmEni songu!Quote:

It's those song / dance moments of her that are absolutely intolerable (despite the fact that many such songs are IR classics).

P.S: Not a fan of silukku. Find her so-called grace non-existent. Especially when dancing.
yes... silk is overrated for what she is famous for. imo.
watched NAAN after all the recommendations here.... 10 of us in the whole cinema :oops:
:thumbsup: very slick movie... predicatable and cliched, but nonetheless very satisfying
Vijay Anthony is the new kattai... meaning wood. Hell, the aanandha thandavam guy acted so well, that he appeared brilliant beside VA.
VA, pls stick to music.... BGM was too good (esp after watching Mugamoodi)
A much better watch than mugamoodi....
:clap:Quote:

Naan - number of shows increased in several theatres across Chennai.
Kamala Complex - from 2 to 4 from today, Mayajaal - 9 shows from tomorrow. In Sathyam & Escape, weekend tickets (online) are almost full now.
Naan- Excellent movie...
Unpredicted screenplay for last half hour..Interval-thaan konjam javva irunthutchu..
But rendu kolai pannittu, VA-ai nallavana kaamikkirathu'thaan konjam idikkuthu...
VA-nalla nadikka varuthu..Keep it up..
Naan - very good.. but when they're making crime thrillers the perpetrators should at-least have an equal opponent (arulnithi and aanthai kan police in mounaguru), that was missing here. VA stays alone in the house, keeps his mobile, his fingerprints are everywhere and the police don't suspect him??
finger prints... i think he can easily get away from it as he stays in the house too... if u mean the mobile phone of his friend, then ya there could be suspicion... but even that we are not sure if he threw that fone with/without erasing the finger prints...
one thing, while movie was running, not at any point of time i felt a logic lag... imo, thats enuf for an engrossin movie... veettukku vandhadhukkappuram flaw kandupudikradhellaam prachinai ila..
as u say, i was feeling that he does not hav any opposing force... whoever confronts him, he treats them in his way...
every scene I predicted came exactly...
after the salim home scene, I asked my friend to get up and go, and sure enough the cinema lights came on. :lol:
nevertheless enjoyed the movie very much
nov, i did not predict that i should get up and go after that scene... and rightly so the cinema lights did not come on for me.. :)
SoftSword, late reply. I'm not sure if I have seen the film fully (TV-la vittu vittu pArththadhu dhAn), but no, didn't find it good. But I think there are moments in Thangar's films where he displays the right instinct/sensitivity to portray rather delicate (or let's just say hitherto unseen) surprisingly life-like moments, some of which are a far cry from what Cheran's single-minded message buses are made of. I'm being vague because I have watched his films only on TV, in parts/with distractions etc. (thenRal alone, I saw in one sitting on cable). For instance, in paLLikkUdam, there is this nice moment where the childhood friend is more than happy to take the unused clothes of his now-rich filmmaker friend but the latter isn't able to deal with the situation. In solla maRandha kadhai too, towards the end, there's a moment where a drunk Kumarimuthu advises Cheran in all sincerity, gets all philosophical as someone who's lived a whole life, there's a momentary pause and Cheran takes some money out of his pocket and gives it to him. (Btw, I revisited just this moment the other day after I saw this discussion.) In such moments, he doesn't feel compelled at all to brush his characters in single strokes. But my problem with his films is the overall tone/framework of the film is mawkish melodrama. So, even when he ventures into unseen milieus etc., you can see that he's basically thinking of old melodrama archetypes. For instance, in azhagi, he has a musical chair sequence which directly harks back to iru kOdugaL!Quote:

i liked this movie... the friendship and the sensibilities were all brought out really well...
i remember watching the movie completely and i recall there were some well done scenes... but apart from the that, as a package, it did not work for me becos of the bolded lines u mentioned...Quote:

and azhagi, i am a fan of the first half.. would hav watched it like 20 times (repeated viewings by friends in my hostel pc), but second half strictly once.. it was made well but did not vibrate in sync with my inner sensibilities...
nanaum appasamy, thendral ellaam paatthaen... found them a bit above the regular movies... but adhukku mela edhum nyabagam illai...
w.r.to cheran,
autograph is my personal fav and a hardcore fan of TT i yam...
btw, did anyone discuss abt karu pazhaniyappans pirivom sandhippom?? i liked it too...
another pointless film....Quote:

kadaseela rembave ilutthiruppaainga... but the movie made us understand the tranformation in snehas phase by phase... adha konjam time edutthu dhaan panna mudiyumnu nenakkiraen... sneha all the way with cheran being a dummy.
concur with ur view on pasanga... 5 stars to the dads conflict/teacher character.. 4 for the pasanga plot... 2 for the lous (was irriatating at times)...

amaithippadai (Manivannan / Sathyaraj)
I don't know why & how I finished this in one sitting :shock: (must be the -OH effect otherwise it has to be watched in installments only. 2 hours 40 minutes long)
It could have easily been split into two masAlA movies :-)
Though the movie cannot be termed good (too many masAlA moments that are yawn worthy), there are some terrific scenes with the politician Sathyaraj & some interesting dialogs that kept it going :clap:
BGM good as usual. Songs FF-ed (so-so numbers).
sathi leelAvathi (BM - Kamal)
I've seen it once before but don't remember much...so, a detailed revisit :-)
Kamal & his konguththamizh :clap: :thumbsup:
What a lively & fluent performance (could have avoided the car ride javvu in the end, the only scene where he is not like-able; one can't imagine the movie without his terrific comedy). Kovai SaraLa's 'sOkku' exclamations are hilarious!
For a change, actor Raja gets his girl :lol:
Ramesh, Kalpana, Heera , Bagavathar - all apt for the respective roles...(Ramesh sonthakkuralA illai pinnaNi by Crazy'yA?)
Thadaiyara Thaaka again on tv..never got bored watching this film..the hero buying undies for the heroine was censored... Malaysian censors :clap:
App, amaithi padai ellam classic cult status. HR did a short series of dialogues in our now-neglected SR thread. A revisitable movie anytime.
