Positives:
- Picturisation of songs, mostly done very well. However, Kelamal recieved some chopping (some of the interludes were cut out!), and im sure they done something to the Marilyn Monroe song aswel.
- First half, ESP flashes were really quite thrilling
- Vijay's comedy style, as usual very good
Negatives:
- The whole of the second half!
- The dumbest ending ever written. (eventhough I did leave the cinema laughing at the sillyness of it!)
Also, could anyone tell the difference between the good Vijay and the bad Vijay? They seemed like the same character to me!
Verdict: 4/10
Very disappointed, was expecting more after Pokkiri.

Anand, ATM-ku kattaayama super opening kidaikkum. Aanaal padam odumaa?
Saw ATM today. The opening number is awesome. Well choreographed by Lawrence(?) and executed by Vijay. The movie was entertaining in the first half but became a drag from the middle part of the second half. The last number VaLayaptti appeared forced and was not at all necessary at that moment. Vijay has done adequately throughout. Better times are smiling at ARR. 2008 will be very good for him, just like 1999 was.
what do u mean??? we keep saying this every year. whats wrong with ATM?? ppl r loving the music, ppl r loving the song picturizations, and most ppl r loving the movie. i think ARR had a fine year with sivaji, and ATM.Quote:

Even if the song is good to listen it must be pictured well -- the camera work, choreography etc. And it must be a song that the TV networks would telecast again and again. Such things happened infrequently for ARR's good songs in the last several years. The way the opening number appears in this movie, its popularity will rise even further. Simply awesome -- tune, ARR's singing, orchestration, lyrics, choreography, cinematography, Vijay's steps -- all have jelled well. And ARR is coming out of his bad phase of 7-1/2 years! Next year is his birth number year (he will be 42). All I meant was that his stars are shining well and truly at the moment and for at least another year, if not more. BTW this opening number beats any of the Sivaji numbers. It is an amalgam of several intangibles that will make it a roaring hit. [/quote]

Sun tv and sun music r only popularizing madhuraiku pogathade at moment..Havent seen any other songs yet on tv..the intro song n kelammal were brilliantly shot,hope they will show it soon

relax, y do u guys always have to worry about the past. just forget it. imo, ARR did the right move. He signed up for movies that will reach the ppl, now if he does a class album, ppl will buy and appreciate the music. most ppl dont even know that ARR did KKS or other such albums. now everyone will be on the lookout for music by ARR, not just his fans. i havent seen the movie yet, but i heard songs r picturized wonderfully and nice comedy too. thats enough. screw logic, there r movies that are based entirely on real life and its made of just logic.Quote:

FI R on Diwali Releases!
By Moviebuzz | Monday, 12 November , 2007, 09:53
It is early days, but the First Information Report (FIR) on Diwali films four days after its release, clearly indicate that it is going to be a lukewarm festival season. There are no super hits, and the public opinion on the Diwali releases is not very encouraging.
Added to that, super hit films (Ghilli, Godfather, Madurai, E, Dishum, Chennai-60028) on television and India-Pak ODI at Mohali on Diwali day and later Kanpur ODI on Sunday, ate into box-office collections of Tamil films.
And in Chennai city the demand for Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om was more than any other Diwali releases, though it was playing in four screens!
At the Box-Office in Tamilnadu-
Azhagiya Tamil Magan and Vel are neck-to-neck throughout Tamilnadu, with ATM having an edge in urban areas (ticket prices are more) and the fantastic opening on Diwali day, while Vel is scoring heavily in B & C stations of Madurai, Salem and TK. But distributors unanimously feel that Vel is a safe bet in the long run.
Polladhavan which started slowly is picking up especially in urban areas, and is very good in Chennai city, Chengalpet and Coimbatore. It has potential to pick up big time, in the coming days. Kannanmoochi Yaenada is collecting only at Sathyam and Inox in Chennai and Mayajaal in NSC area, rest of the state it is a goner, while Machakaran collections are uniformly bad across the state.
Says Jayavel Murugan, leading distributor for Tamil movies in US : “Azhagiya Tamil Magan and Vel have opened in 20 cities across America. I had brought both the films at record prices and is comfortable with the turnout. Added to that ATM audio is a chartbuster in USA”.
The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.
guys altho ATM's climax (story) not too good. ARR is being praised both critically and commercially. great sign. just like old days when even movie was flop the music would be acclaimed by everyone. good to see. just wished that the movie was as good as the music. And I cant beleive they cut out the best part of valayapatti (the raaga mania). damn it.
Rahman rules Tamil charts

Azhagiya Thamizh Magan : | Review | Stills | Wallpapers | Discussion
Chennai, Nov 13 (IANS) A.R. Rahman's second Tamil album "Azhagiya Thamizh Magan" is a hit with Vijay fans lapping it up. Of all the Diwali releases, only Rahman and his nephew Prakash's albums have done well.
The top five Tamil albums are:
1. "Azhagiya Thamizh Magan"- Music Director: A.R. Rahman. The album is a hit with Vijay fans. The remix of "Pon magal vanthal", a T.M. Soundararajan song, is the biggest hit.
2. "Pollathavan" - Music Director: G.V. Prakash. Another remix makes it to the top. Yogi B's rendition of the 1970s' song "Engeyum eppothum" by S.P. Balasubramaniam in "Ninaithale Inikkum" has enthralled the new generation.
3. "Satham Podathey" - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. None of Yuvan's Diwali albums are up to the mark, but his music for "Satham Podathey" is still popular.
4. "Bheema" - Music Director: Harris Jayaraj. The song "Mudhal mazhai" is the best number in "Bheema".
5. "Thamizh MA" - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. "Paravaiya ennai", sung by maestro Ilayaraja for his son, is the pick of the album.
'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' is the best Diwali release

Azhagiya Thamizh Magan : | Review | Stills | Wallpapers | Discussion
Chennai, Nov 13 (IANS) Vijay starrer "Azhagiya Thamizh Magan" got a fantastic opening and is clearly the number one among Diwali releases. Surya's "Vel" is close behind.
The top five Tamil films are:
1. "Azhagiya Thamizh Magan" - Director: Bharathan. A huge disappointment as far as the quality of the film is concerned, but the Vijay starrer received a fantastic opening. Like all Vijay films, this one will make money too.
2. "Vel" - Director: Hari. Though it is a commercial potboiler, Hari has managed to make a neat film and Surya has come up with a restrained performance.
3. "Kannamoochi Enada" - Director: Priya. This is the best of all the Diwali releases. It is a light comedy, just like Priya's first film "Kanda Naal Muthal". Among the actors, Satyraj is superb.
4. "Polladhavan" - Director: Vetrimaran. Another underworld film; Dhanush has done his job competently.
5. "Machakaran" - Director: Tamilvanan. The most boring film released this Diwali. Jeevan will definitely not have a hat-trick.
now ma fav atm song is "Maduraiku" 8-) 8-) 8-)
now after watching the movie...
i have started liking the ponmagal vandhaal most...
Valayapatti is the best song for me but after seeing the visual :banghead:
Anyway the song is awesome
can u believe that they cut out the best part in valayapatti? who does that???Quote:

oh thanks...
damn amazing, melts me away. ilove these kinda BG from Rahman.
could someone possibly upload this on another host??
thanks
welcome guys, i think we have some new vijay and now vijay-arr fans from the ppl coming in after ATM released. warm welcome to y'all.
thanks thineshan
been reading for a while but itching to hear the bgm...
havent got a yahoo password so a bit long!
nice one dude!
watched ATM. i really enjoyed it. I like it more than pokkiri and the songs obviously have to do with that. Vijay's acting was nice. And RAHMAN? solavethevela! during ESP, the BGM was nerve-wrecking, the only time i had a similiar feeling was when i heard KM BGM.
New directors with whom ARR associated don't managed to live up expectations: SOK now ATM. The real return for ARR in TFM would be a new combinaison with a hit movie!! I hope that Sakrakatti will fulfill it!!
the movie for which ARR shouldve been associated with is billa. i saw the trailer, for a bit, i thot it was a hollywood movie. truly exceptional direction. but atm wasnt as bad as ppl said it was. now i know most r just ajith fans. i enjoed the movie. the placement of the songs were apt. they weren't forced in (except valaya).Quote:
