Manorama was a. Fine film - actually the investigation angle is incidental to the movie - infact, detective or thrill is not the point of the movie at all :-)
Seri paravA illai - at least we agree that the movie is a fine one, even if for different reasons
thank god, we agreed on something :)
I would like to hear more of navdeep singh than the hollywood-european cinema stalwarts bhardwaj and kashyapa munivar. He can easily destroy our paruthiveeran argument(which incidentally is only a crutch I use - I amme with equa on that one).
i just read it was his debut movie - brilliant yaar mane unbelievable storyline for a debutant.... :D
revisited kaminey on DVD rip only for comedy scenes and Amol gupte has done a great job :rotfl:
charlie: mein fa ko fa bolta hoon
bhope: fa ko fa nahin bolega toh kya la bolega :lol:
bhope: tumhe shaadi pe nahin bulaya?
Charlie: nahin
bhope: chalo, mujhe bhi nahin bulaya (and looks at his allakkai) :lol:
bhope to small kid: chocolate kaadaaaaa?? (the way he says it - hilarious)
in climax, bhope acting like dead and shooting off bengali brother :rotfl:
Navdeep is more of a Holly-European cinema stalwart than VishalB, by some distance actually. I don't know why Vishal Bharadwaj joined this list, Plum. Are you basing it on the purported QT inspiration in Kaminey? About Navdeep & MSFU, I'm not basing it on 'Chinatown' connection per se, but also the way he choreographs scenes, and the way he captures the landscape.Quote:

The titles montage was pretty cool. And that short montage of Hrithik and slum kids. Wah! :thumbsup:Quote:

Agreed. :)Quote:

ada paavigala, enakku Devdas-naale pudikkum-nnu mudivu pannitteengala :lol: .....i hate that character - infact Anurag too thinks that way and the way he tampered with the original is what made me like it :DQuote:

The best of Shyam for me are Kalyug(lovely adaptation of Mahabharat), trikaal(the goa one), Bhumika and the 1857 one. Havent seen much acclaimed Mandi and Nishant; Manthan and Ankur enakku konjam underwhelming-A irundhadhu

P_R, adhula Kappoor is a story teller something something and flashback, surrealism-ngara maadhiri ennennamo varum illa? I dont remember much except these vague thoughts that ran through my mind when I watched first!
Mandi is brilliant cinema. But I am not sure there was a 'point' to the movie. Bear in mind I don't insist that films need to have or make a point, just that I was surprised by the pointlessness.

Oh it is certainly not bad at all. And I am not talking about Mohanlal and Kamal. (adhai paththi anga pEsuvOm)
I meant the 'dumbing' down of scenes, sequences, dialogues etc. which either seemed like they missed "what clicked" in the indhi version or were very conscious of a 'need' watering down. Giving the preponderance of English it seemed to me that the movie was not necessarily aimed at the lowest common denominator. That is why the dip in writing/direction was odd.
Localization 'na enna ?
revisited Johnny Gaddar , the movie with perfection but with few lapses here and there .. director maintained the thrilling and the gripping screenplay even though he reveals the culprit early in the movie .. :thumbsup:

last movie i saw- Black Friday........needless to say, it was very good......though screenplay had Scorcesse style, dialogues were very much Anurag ishtyle......
downloaded Gulaal from a site but the files didnt play :x ......thats the only AK movie i havent watched till now.....ofcourse, i have laid my hands on "Return of Hanuman" also :D
I meant in more on the lines of Vadivelu picking up a fight with STD booth owner Singamuthu who dials 'extra' numberQuote:

I found references to america, thiruvannthapuram in love making scene etc childish.

I doubt if that demographic would even know the existence of trivandrum, let alone thiruvannthapuram. That is why it was extremely incongruous. And the choice of name-changed cities stuck out as well - vague attempt at commenting on linguistic politics. And bhope didn't strike me as a consistent character as well. He seemed to be dancing to the director's string puliing. - like paruthiveeran to ameer's tune. The whole bhope-mikail sequence was predictably cliched. Not a patch on even some rgv movies of last decade.
Kaminey is grossly overrated like the erstwhile amar a a, coolie etc.
That is the joke !Quote:

Subtext is for you. The way it jumps from a local specific city where it makes 'sense' to say 'I love Mumbai' versus distant cities, which are but names to them, was lovely. Ultimately 'you can't love names, you can only love people' appidingra subtext ellAm naamalA intellectualize paNNikiradhu.Quote:

revisited socha na tha......i had watched it last in 2006 - nice movie.......as again, brilliant dialogues from Imtiaz ali.......Abhay Deol's debut movie - hardly looks like a debutant.......nice timepass.........
UPO
In the face of...

Tamil-la konjam 'dilute' paNNA dhaan 'reach' aagum etc.
One is encouraged to make a very objectively and bland summary like a wise sage: 'A step in the right direction..'
:-)
P_R, why UPO here? anyways, u got the word correctly - the timing was awry in UPO......the punch, zeal and timing was missing....it was more dramatic as well - Mu.ka's voice over the phone and all - :lol: ......
