In my review (in this thread) I mentioned that violence in climax bit too much and raw..The movie is almost 3 hours ..If they trimmed some parts ,reduce no of songs and reduce violence ,it could be a outstanding movie.
yes the movie drags a bit.Quote:

but certainly Veyyil is one of the better movies released this year. :thumbsup:
and is a close contender among the bests of this year Emttan Magan and E.
I found the film very very gory. The killings were graphic, realistic and very disturbing. Lengthy as usual. :roll:
Songs and bgm were pleasing. veyilOdu uravaadi and urugudhE stand out. (my friend commented that ARR's theeyil vizhundha thenaa would have been very appropriate for pasupathy character.)
who said it is bharath's movie? :shock:
it is down and out pasupathy's. heck he sings the best love duet, has two heroines, tells the story and does everything the lead should do.
bharath plays a secondary role and even his love life is left incomplete.
which is not to say that bharath didnt act well. all characters did thier parts extremely well. hats off to the director for extracting the best. bharath dances well, emotes well and does justice to his role.
this is his 4th movie where he has taken a secondary role after boys, chellamE and pattiyal. good if he concentrates on showcasing his talents rather than in unnecessary build ups.
I feel shankar pays back to the industry by prodcing movies that most ppl wont dare to invest in like imsai arasan. :thumbsup:
4 stars for veyyil!
veyil was a nice movie
Typical village based :D
Veyyil and Chennai Kaadhal have bombed miserably !
Infact, Chennai Kaadhal had done bit better than Veyyil :cry:

I do not see Chennai kadhal anywhere in the list.... :lol:
I watched Chennai Kaadhal last night and ENJOYED every moment of the movie. :clap:
Pls stop throwing rotten tomatos at me and read on. :lol2:
The movie was hilarious to the core. I couldn't stop laughing. :rotfl: No that it was a comedy movie, but it was a very very funny movie - I was laughing at the movie. :D
Every single frame was a cliche. In fact the only tragedy was it passing as a serious movie when it was actually spoofs of several movies. :P
Chennai Kaadhal starts in Mumbai (rightly so, since Veyyil started with a dark stormy night. :rotfl2:)
The first song was picturised in Putra Jaya in Kuala Lumpur. :lol:
Really, there is no unique story. You can continue counting the cliches and the all the audience toes and fingers added up will be insufficient. :roll:
We are to believe that baby-face bharath (and when he takes of his shirt he is still a baby) fights with goondas like a macho guy. :poke:
The villain sits on a chair and feeds hungry dogs with pieces of fleshes. :rotfl:
Hero bashes guy who does eve teasing, only later to do his bit of eve teasing. :lol2:
Hero makes fun of teachers and parents. The teacher of course saves heros life later while the long suffering parents go missing (dont report to police, only their characters go missing) Past year's heroine Sumithra is the mother who does a character like a painting on the wall. :rotfl:
wait there is more.
group of faithful freinds - comedians naturally - who can fool everyone and can you beat this, bharath dresses up as an Inspector and goondas actually accepts him as one. :rotfl2:
hold on, there's more. they ask which area inspector he is and he cooly says, "keezhpaakkam" :rotfl:
and when in one scene 2 groups of goondas chase bharath, hero cleverly makes them fight one another. :clap:
and in case you miss the intelligence of this scene, vikraman does a Pakiaraj (Vidiyum Varai Kathiru) and presents his name in full glory right in the middle of the movie.
semma kooththu paa! :poke:
The cliches continues, but the best is saved for the last.
malaysian cartoonist LAT (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2394/lat.html) drew a series of cartoons about 30 years ago - depicting a tamil movie scene. in the cartoon hero is chased by villans, who runs up a railway track. stationmaster changes tracks and hero's leg gets stuck in the changing track. train approaches with loud noise. frantic expression on hero's face. is his death imminent?
vikraman actually has this scene in the movie. :rotfl:
sollungappa, idhukku mele oru comedy padam paarkka mudiyumaa indha jenmaththula? :poke:
NOV,
I was 100% sure that you will watch that movie inspite of the reviews :lol2:
You have proved that ! :rotfl: :rotfl2: :poke:
"naaN petra inbam ..........."
come on selva. every movie fan MUST watch chennai kaadhal. I dont think there will ever be another movie like this. :lol2:Quote:
