I can relate with you Karthik... best part is I watched Naan at 6pm and Mugamoodi at 9pm, on the same day :lol:

Watched Lorry Driver Rajakannu :
Nadigar thilagam who has spoken so much of powerful and meaningful dialogies
He sees sripriya and says Vada nalla irukkuma.... bring 2 idilis and one vada
He also asks her if she does not want to become a mother and b**** feed her baby
Once i really banged my head on my pillow
Naan
- No side dish.
- 45 minutes of stuffing, before and after intermission
- crime with punishment.. then crime without punishment. With a correction facility in between. Lot of possibilities in exploring more, but ultimately it's the kind of 'guilt trip' without feeling the guilt. Making up one's own mind to lead on living. If so, why the sequence where he says he'd use up death of bhai's son to look after paralysed bhai? And what kind of parlour trick is that? Apparently now this boy travels faster than fax machine..
- I wonder how Honest could laugh at Naazar's NWSE but could take in this poor excuse of 'investigation'. AS Janagaraj could have craked this case.
- In age of facebook, twitter, instant TV, and newspaper, athuvum upper class 'family friends'. If the film didn't bother so much about plausibility, I would be able to see past it.
- Direction, much like lead protagonist, is a blank impersonal slate but functional. You have to fill in.
- Towel uruvi, khitan check.. Most clever writing of all. Also oddly, laugh worthy.

It should be a BO success for its budget. It's very much in ballpark of plausibles who are easily taken in to illusion of plausibility.. Also, it has no meaningful ideology for audience to be repulsed by..
namma oorla first padam BO hit aaganum..illena kashtamdhan even if the movie is critically acclaimed..take the case of Katradhu thamizh Raam..first padam vandhu 5-6 yrs aachu..adutha padam innum veli varala..Quote:

-music is top class, immensely enjoyable (Madan Mohan)
-will watch again with family (possibly more than once)
-want to check out more movies of this Hrishikesh :-)
Very good App.:thumbsup: Madan Mohan always the best. I too am a big favorite of Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies right from his Asli-Naqli to Bawarchi, Anand, Abhimaan, Chupke Chupke to Golmaal. Same way another director whose movie I like is Basu Chatterjee (chitchor, chotti si baat, baton baton mein and many more). Very entertaining movies of 70s. Yes most of their films had excellent music.
It was a poison test. For that matter the following films should be avoided by one and all but they can be seen for whole hearted laughing purposesQuote:

BEST OF ALL - EXAM Ku time aachu and it had a so called comedian Y G M ....
Billa 2 on youteep! :oops:
Watched like ~ 65-70 min of the movie. So far not bad, the movie is OK. It is more like a history channel documentary of the rise of David Billa.
So far, movie operates at the fast forward mode and the narration style is focussed only on the bottom line of the events rather than focussing on the leadup/staging side of things (which is usually the fluff/meat that adds up in other movies however good or bad it is). Ajith's "I'm just going to maintain my poker face" makes him look more Jason Bourne-ish whose only goal is survival. That poker face also adds to the intensity of the stinging onliners that comes out (every now and then) out of Ajith's mouth.
60-70 nimutes of the movie remba quick-uhh thaan pochu... Will probably continee today or tomorrow to wrap up the remaining. The only (albeit major) complaint I've so far is that the movie is too simplistic (i.e. no big supsense or thrill or twists so far).
Mounaguru
- Plot-based thriller far far superiorly made with semblance of directorial voice, than an empty suspense film like Naan which introduces a whole lot of characters who have access to the truth (but in a compromised way), but could not put together.. Here, the truth is well known among the lot, but it's bleak enough to suspect this truth from being made in to a readily accessible entity, as if this is ever possible.. It treats it with nihilistic self-induced silence of the title and the character. A whole new vantage point that might be much closer to the 'real' truth
- This might be my favourite passive non-acting performance for a while now. Well cast for the role. That extra notch above Vijay Anthony, despite slight resemblance to Jithan Ramesh, he actually has that early Ajith look + soft pitch in the voice that works for roles like this..
Penmani Aval Kanmani
Visu and Prathap = hilarious. Don't remember liking it back then, but now it works very well. They should have done sequel. Same Prathap appeared as Dhanush's father in Padikathavan.
1968 documentary on film and dance in Madras. Some of the commentary is politically incorrect but Malle seems eager to explore and record his initial reactions without fear. He seems to find people on the street better looking than some of the actors. Here is the first part, the next two are more about dance with some derogatory comments about foreigners learning bharatantayam.Worth a look I think

The next two are uploaded by the same person and easy to find clicking on the uploader's name.

And of course pregnant investigator. Can I also say this is much more deserving of Coenesque than Kahaani.
Ensemble cast were again good casting.
There he's frustrated with his father. Here he is frustrated with son, similar acting (is Padikadhavan Telugu remake?). The scene where he is chased away by his father at old folks home is a riot!!!Quote:
