Even I too heard about this ..
Unmai Villambi,
songs yet to sink in, but good melodies.
Start with Medhuvagathan - its a universal number, quite known for ages that we still like to see and hear for about a century now. Then Engay Poguthu Vannam to get an experience on a majestic journey. Once your sink is full, time for Manamaganini Sathiyam (male version) & Karma Veeran. Make sure you are listening to a CD on a well equipped Audio system and not thru a MP3 format or by youtube video. The Guitar Ramming in Engal Kochadaiiyaan can change the view on music that we had been constantly listening to.
why the movie was not made with real actors?
Like anything else, Kochadaiiyaan is a Project. Investors agree, teams paid, planning done and now its in finishing stage.
whats the need for motion-capture digital movie of RK now?
Kochadaiiyaan has its root upto Sultan:the warrior. We cannot get the truth or what actually made this projet to bloom. An educated guess could be, the seed was thrown in when Ocher Studios partnered with Warner Bros ; Baba Masacre ; Rajini being the last standing HERO of TFI & wish to eternalise "Superstar"; so on so forth. Then Sivaji and Enthiran happened, which made them shelf the half baked project Sultan: The Warrior. Rana Episode, revived their anxiety and by this time they made some deals and got a considerable budget to go ahead and mix Sultan: the Warrior & Rana into Kochadaiiyaan using the contracts of the artists signed for Film Rana to participate in Kochadaiiyaan.
Its pure buisness and nothing personal (only fans get personal). Mediatically speaking, Soundarya wished to swim in unexplored waters, and she knew very well that her father's name would make her journey a bit easy. Irrespective to the result, her effort will be praised with enough dose of salt, pepper and other spices.
he is not so old that he cant act. RK and KH can do such digital imagery movies when they reach very old age.
Old => funny word. How old is a 1 month OLD baby.
Anyway, I don't think the age is a factor here. Cinema is a lie generously thrown at your face where a 60 becomes 20 and vice-versa. What is important for us, the fans, is that RK & KH are aging with grace, no denial in that.
An animation film is no less than a normal motion picture. Moreover, the creativeness can have no boundries in Animation. But its a genre which is measured by an individual's likeness scale. Some like thrillers, others Action.
imho i would have loved to see real actors and not this.
No comments as its your likeness and I welcome/respect it.
mappi..thanks. by old what i meant was there are some scenes which an aging actor could not perform. the example comes to my mind is jackie chan, how racy his fight scenes were and see now. what i failed to convey was if digital imagery movie is to be made, that can be of dead or retired actors. imagine new MGR movie! so my point was, this may not be the ripe time for such movie for rk. no offence meant. i would watch it fdfs along with my kids.
Very glad.
Hope they are planning to give goodies to the kids coming to watch the film atleast for the 1st week. I can't remember exactly the last movie where I got goodies. I think it was in AVM Rajeswari for My Dear Kutti Sathan, they gave a Maggi packet + a free ice cream during the interval. It was just awesome having the icecream just after the 3D cone-ice circling in front of your eyes. They should digitally remaster and re-release this movie, anytime kids will love this movie.

Engal Kochadaiiyaan
This song is definitely a strong contender for being the best title song in Indian History. The gung-ho arsenal of instruments emit Rahman Ji’s command eminently. Be it the percussion, the melody, etc. everything is delivered with 100% dedication. With the blessings of Lord Shiva, this song is truly a selfless offering from ARR to ARR as well as Rajini fans.
The Kombu, an instrument rarely heard these days’ sets the record straight in the prelude. Throughout the song, amongst other instruments ARR finds scope for electronic mayhem which backs the “Thaandav” tension. This aspect was probably inserted due to CGI/Motion Capture nature of the movie otherwise the song would’ve been authentically Indian. But ARR brings the best of both worlds Vis-à-vis ethereal chanting and distorted basses and guitars. The female parts are so soothing while the male deliver their lines with upmost oomph especially, the “Shambu Mahadeva” line.
The song is a complete paradox and no stone of experimentation has been unturned. Kochadaiiyaan, a film that has been in the making for roughly more than five years (ref. Sultan The Warrior) was always at the back of my mind. I was patient and I’m glad I was because this song seems to be nurtured with absolute master class.

Is Kochadaiiyaan in par with Platform Games ?
(Views are entirely mine and its not a reply to any individual. Its just a note on the most recurring question about Kochadaiiyaan)
The answer is very simple, NO. Just beacause its a "No", it does not mean that its not worth. I did come across some amazing critisms - one even went on to say "Embarasing moment in Indian Cinema". Well, we all are not interested in everyone being interested over a same thing, are we ?
Before speaking another word, I would like to inform you that I am not supporting Kochadaiiyaan mindlessly or just for the sake of it. I am a Sony Maniac and just like acheivements in XBOX you have Platinums trophies system in PS3/PS4. I have 72 platinums, ie., I have played 100% (including DLC) of 72 games. I own 124 platform games in PS series and Vista, not to mention other computer games. So I am well aware of the graphics we are talking about, BUT just did not bother to compare it with Kochadaiiyaan as I understand that its wrong.
Comparing is healthy when the samples taken are on the same level. The fisrt game (for PS2 & XBOX) done using mocap was Prince of Perisia. So think, should Kochadaiyaan, the 1st in TFI, should be compared with Thief that released last month. Does Kochadaiiyann merit this calibre ?
Platform gaming is a huge buisness. Its a sector where dedicated technicians work round the clock in a reowned studios. They are led by gaint enterprises who govern the market. Let me give you an exemple how big they are - 007 legends - They informed Activision that the next Bond contract is not with them - Boom - the game was removed from the steam server and now the game is available in a dollar shop. At the same time look at how Rockstar promoted GTA V - the 1st day sales would give you an idea.
Kochadaiiyaan's budget is peanuts before these platform games production cost. Plus it was made by a handful of Indians using an alien technology (alein to TFI) all by themselves. They got to travel to different studios to get out thier 3D models. Whereas, companies like UBISOFT has teams working globally where the development is broken into parts and assembled/coded in few corners of the world, not to mention the ownership of copyrights and other studio related materials. Moreover, Kochadaiiyan is a first attempt where TFI is going by the chinese saying - to move a moutain you got start stone by stone. Just drawing it beside another well established and healthy industry is absurd.
The basic idea itself is new for us. Not that we don't know, just that we don't have enough experienced resource. Its not like a regular motion picture. Here, the development happens with an idea and the imaginary visuals of the director (or ghost director). We are not used to such thought process. Ask any film maker in TFI to talk about his/her movies. They cannot describe it. Thats why I insist in taking our films to various festivals, as there they ask the film makers those questions he is not exposed to, not like our meida asking how many intiamte scenes are there in the movie ! So with all these new avenues and discovery process, Kochadaiiyaann is definitely a welcome attempt. Just like Prince of Persia still holding the prime spot in MOCAP technology used in gaming platforms even after 25 years, Kochadaiyaan will have the same place in TFI in 2040 where a highly advanced mocap film from TFI will give its respects to.
I am aware that we are late, but happy that we are almost there.
An individual watching a movie or not is his right, I am just pointing out the reason stated is not right. Choice is yours.
mappi:clap:
softsword:rotfl3:
Mappi sir Don't sweat it ! We can keep saying its a good first attempt or accept the truth , we (as indians) don't have it in us to compete at global level. Money is a key factor agreed but Money is not the only thing we lack.
Back to Coachhaadaaiyaann as a project is executed by a rich girl the one which dreamt while she was playing with her princess doll house.
ARR Garu as usual did a great service by providing us with this album , to lower our expectations even further down. Its amazing how we can add superlatives to individuals
at drop of our hats without understanding the merit it carries. For me Except Karma Veran everything else is kind of mashed up sambar rice and potato fries, taste depends on what you bite. Comfort food for some , disgusting looking for others. oh even Queen's own personal symphony wouldn't have saved this album.( Last ARR period album which I liked/loved was Laagan , this is no where near that.)
Not sure why there is such rush to release this movie, when RBI has extended its deadline till Jan of next year.
haHA, Dilbert, we meet again with Laagan ... but this time we take it a bit slow and steady and enjoy the discussion.
Lagaan and Kochadaiyaan are period films, agreed. They have chronicles picked up here and there, agreed. But the major difference is Kochadaiyaan goes a bit beyond and takes the Fantasy chair. So, IMO, Lagaan OST cannot be equal to Kochadaiiyaan OST.
We have just listened to the music, I have still not completed, there are 3 more to go and I am a bit hooked with Karma Veeran for sometime now, that I am not able to put it in words yet. Breifly put, being a fan of music (and IR) as well as being the first to appreciate ARR works, I tend to get the dream thorough his Music. Yes its cheesy at parts, but concluding it before seeing it with the visuals is a bit far fetched. We have to give them space before cornerning them. Kochadaiyaan team have not yet fully expressed, and I feel we are not allowing them to.
Past are the days where I madly quarrel as a fanboy. I have learnt to accept. For instance I even agree to point out the flaws - the horse riding poster - the mane (horse neck hair) is missing and the shadows are not falling at the right place. Others - the heads are out of propotion, hair seems to be static, coloring while showing teeth is not in sink ... so on so forth. But hey, its a typical mistakes that happens when as a film maker you do not pay attention to or lack the needed experience, but sincerely hope we improve and correct ourselves. We have to help them, any film maker, rather than being the "1st on the net" to whip them.
I don't have a say on personalised comments, as I don't know neither Soundarya nor Rajini ! I only know them as artists/techniciens where no say about Soundarya, but Rajini is AWESOME.
And finaly, yes, we do HAVE it, what we don't have is the push and its not far behind.
Rather than judging it good/bad or grading it by weighing it through likeness scale, I always point it as a welcome attempt. And not a mini-second I will hesitate to come down hard on them if they have missed the oppurtunity and given us a blunder in the name of blockbuster.
idhayam nazhuvi nazhuvi nagarndu nagarndu....aavv..ok next...
I would like to take this opportunity to thank RR ji for his support to this thread. Keep up the good work, atleast one head with sanity still around, good to see sir.
