Yeah, best of vishnu by miles.

Naan - Awful film. Poor excuse for a thriller with cheap thrills. Bad writinf, horrible acting and unbearable BGM. Indha padathukku support and idhu hit. And Yudhdham Sei received negative reviews. Kashtam.

hEy Ram...

Second half is phenomenal. First half is admirable for the details but it unfortunately increased the length of the movie.

Since I watched in 2 sittings, could enjoy it but in theater it's possible people became impatient with the first half. It's a phenomenal effort, however...what details :shock:

Had the whole first half got shortened to 20 min, it would have been a big success, IMHO.

Some revisits over the long weekend.

Pammal K. Sambandhan
Still laughing my ass off; but this time I paid attention to Kamal's performance. What conviction! There is zero Kamal in PKS. He's not playing it for laugh, but totally convinced of who he is; his policies and how he changes (or humanises himself from the rigid hanuman baktar) is a treat to watch. I see NT's Muradhan Muthu in many place (watch how he describes what he can do to Yugi Sethu in the textile shop, pure NT). Can revisit anytime (it turned up again later in comedy channel and was still laughing)

Poova Talaiya

I suppose inspiration for the likes of V. Sekhar, Ramanarayanan, TPG. Also, Rajini's Mappila. Jai Shankar is fun; Gemini too, surprisingly. There was a jarring moment when the two female leads do a song at the waterfall, can easily be misinterpreted today.

PattukOttai Periyappa.

Lovely film. This time more for laughs. Chinni Jayanth part especially. Visu rulz....

climax vera maathiri irukkum ninaichen..last'la mahesh police'nu kaamitchu ella rowdy'um thookkiruvaar'nu paarthen...bt no twist..

i got it wit subtitle ajay...thx. a lot ajay...:notworthy:
nw downloading..:cheer:

3 - pretty good
Dhanush you beauty! Best actor around!
Surudhi - looks about 40 years old. But not bad.
That friend guy did well I say as did Prabhu in the 1-2 scenes he had.

I didnt catch much of the first half. So I guess I didn't have the problem many felt about the abrupt transition.
Impressed with aishwarya.
Once again - Dhanush :clap:
He has earned the right to be arrogant now. Andha rangeku pOyittAn payyan.

Rajini seyyaama vittadhai ellAm ivan seyyaNum. Keep it up.

18/9
Very good.
Unlike kaadhal subtle-A, consistently engaging-A illai.
But vidhyAsam, silapala moments ellAm vachchu pArthA pretty good

vaazhga Vijay TV

Hope you didn't mean the TV anchor guy who comes as the friend in H1.

Yes, the friend in H2 has done a nice job!

Btw BGM kooda nallArunch.

Surudhiyai classy, beety-nu sonnavan ellAm kai thookkiRu.
Thambi dhaan handsomeA irundhaapla. I don't get why he needs to keep makin these self deprecating jokes anymore.

Ofcourse, yes! paiyan nallA varuvAnnu Avaludan edhir pArkkiREn (kiss business notwithstanding) :-)

PR, vayitthula beer'a vaarttheenga...
padam arumayaa irunchu'u naan orutthan mattumdhaan koovittu irundhaen...
nice direction..
balar'um i never felt engaging'nu kaiya virichittaar...

first half'um indrestingaa dhaan irukkum...

Vinayakar chathurthi annikku poojaikappuram dhaan moon-ai paarkanumaam. Adhanaala 2nd half of 3 only see. No major opinion except that surudhi paappaa unseletted. But still, an antidote to jodhiga inspired bubbly heroine types so adhukkaaga mannikkalaam.

Vazhakku EN - velai paLu kAraNamAga only last few moments. Rangan kObapatta aLavukku besant-nagar-caricature-as-villain irundhA mAdhiri theriyalaiyE :huh:

Dhanush in 3 :clap:...expectation from this guy is increasing..nalla varuveenga thambi

ellarum ipo thaan '3' padam paartha maathiri dhanush'ai pugalringa... ;-)
theatre'la paarkkaliya ? :huh:

Moonface and nadigar thilagam, the former almost fully. Unintentional laughs abound in moonface - and I am not talking EKSI; Prabhu is infact the most dignified presemce in the film - but atleast it is not vapid and an excess in nothingness as Maratha Warrior King.

sathyama onnumE purila, Flu..

moonface = chandramukhi
nadigar thilagam/Maratha Warrior King = sivaji

kisu-kisu affected :lol:

Thanks. :lol:


Thankfully I had to work, missed these god awful to mediocre films on TV.

Managed to watch "Young Adult" though on laptop while working.
