Yes. Sundara Pandiyan thaan :) 1998 film. When I was searching for 2012 Sundara Pandiyan online, I got this one. Nice time pass film. Sasi Kumar has re-used the title just after 14 years. But Karthik doesn't have market now. So, no issues from their side. I haven't seen this film before. So, it was like watching a new Karthik film :lol:Quote:

That Vietnamese monk (psycho No.4?) and how Christopher Walken modifies that in the end is too good. Sam RockWell and Christopher Walken have acted really well. Both were too good. Colin F was a dummy piece. :D
I would LOVE to see Thala in a role like Sam Rockwell's role in this movie. But he done it somewhat similar in Billa2 though not entirely :)
AMC looks like UK Cineworld but with better seats.

- A film by HAAZAN Brothers ... shown in the end card
- title card doesn't say who worked for which part.. only the names start rolling one after the other.. so i guess Singeetham srinivasarao is the director
- andhi mazhai - azhago azhagu & one bit song for blind people were good
- "andhi mazhai" camera work is good
- Kamal.. kannu theriyama nadikkiradhu mattume nalla nadippunu solla mudiyadhu.. idhai vida nallave pala masala padangalla nadichirukkar.. inge just vandhu pora velaithan
- Madhavi.... no words to describe her beauty.. super :bow: bikini shot in andhi mazhai song is a bonus for eyes :p
- YGM.. for once, he was funny.. to an extent
- unintentionally hilarious... delli ganesh.. comes as madhavi's brother
- Madhavi's family characters are more like caricatures.. who are they? that grandma is thalapathy grandma.. father & grandfather roles.. don't know who are they..
- climax is VTV opening scene, almost
- drunk kamal with ygm in front of madhavi's house.. same repeat in Thaimaman (GM & SR)
- finally, not an extraordinary film to rave about.. one time watch for me
Honest - Grandfather is Director LV Prasad.. appa is Chandrahasan (? padam paaththu romba naaL aachchu... so not sure).
Climax is from Dustin Hoffman movie (Graduate-aa?)
Thanks RC..
andha character ellam yedho doordharsan drama character rangeku irundhadhu...
film is worthless to have a copy.. so deleted the file after watching
Dheena- nostalgia,all songs,humour, massdialogues,one of best mass movies ,Ajith's energy superb
Mayakkam Enna
Liked it even more after watching. Never knew there was a post credits scene. Good one.
Dheena
One rare instance where both Ajith's and Vijay's films released together became superhits. I watched both the movies FDFS and came out happily. Parthyy coined out the exact word - NOSTALGIA
Mariyadhai
Started. Stopped
The "AD" for the movie. "Pongalukku Ready ah" with thala having the match stick in his mouth with that rowdy look :clap:Quote:

good effort....heavily dependant on the climax which was very effective though..the duration(2 hrs?) is the major plus..looked like they used hidden camera throughout.
Dheena
as Ajay anna said..i remember friends and dheena releasing on pongal day..sun tv top 10,super 10 paatha nyabagam...songs were,are a rage..its been 12 yrs..boyhood memories were back
There was a 2 day gap. Friends on Jan 12th and Dheena on 14th IIRC.
Yes.. Friends on Friday.. Dheena on Pongal day :) Rajesh&Thangam ;)Quote:

Watched it till the Soundarapandi-Selvarani episode. As I posted during the release, this was more touching and effective than the main plot.
oh yeah - that was the deception required to get to the "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep" - The climax ranks among one of theQuote:

A Must watch movie for all scifi fans and particularly Ridley Scott fans - The anti corporation tone we saw in Alien was a complete match here in this movie too.
Watched parts of Tintin yday on TV.
Not bad I say. I didn't watch it in the theatres because I heard they changed and mixed stories a lot.
Now I think I will watch it fully once.
tintin was one of the most enjoyable movies of last year :)
Yeah I heard the plot changes from my friends. Crab with Golden Claws, mixed with Unicorn, Sakharine made Rackham's descendent - and a mix and match of Unicorn and RRT. So was slightly skeptical. Yday I saw and it was quite engaging.
yes, the line - "my emotions are like tears in the rain" and "you are supposed to be the good man" - though like a tamil movie dialogue, but was a bouncer given its from the machine :bow: ......infact i watched this movie because it topped 2001:A Space odyssey in most sci-fi movies list and esp the ones rated by scientists themselves.........yeah, it is indeed a cult classic for this genre - the director had built a convincing alternate world unlike the "similar to reality" blue world of Avatar.......the cramped up, dirty streets overflowing with people of chinese race was such a naughty point made by the director :lol: .......Quote:

it simply lacked the dazzle of 2001 like the space hostess walking around 360 degree to enter the astronauts room thats upside down - nenachhale pullarips.........maybe i started it with wrong perspective :-)

Thirupachi, Sivakasi, Thirupathi ok, but afterwards movies from perarasu have been poor.
Attakathi - Mokka Kathi..:banghead:
Skyfall- Good.it has its moments but guess i expected lot..bit of disappointment... the main reason is,more than a bond its M takes the centre stage of the movie...and the director tried like Nolan's way of treatment but it is just an attempt.The intro was terrific,watched the action scene in that same Istanbul roof location in Taken 2.
i was wondering where did i see the same review, i think its from ur facebook pprofile as well :D ......wats ur take, deserve to be watched in big screen?
anyways watching pounu pounudhaan.........though its thematically cliched - chinna vayasula odi pona payyan coming back* etc but the way Bhagyaraj unfolds the story is a delight.........the poignancy in dialogues, screenplay and his unique take on normal things - waare waah........genius saar indha aalu.........for all its banalities in production values, performances, sentiments and some convinient plot points, it was sheer joy to be taken for a ride by bhagyaraj through his unique narration.....
*wondering how many movies before this movie had this storyline.....
Yes yes.... go for it.Quote:

Saw Mankatha for the first time yesterday.
Very Entertaining.
Ajith was brilliant. One of the best performances of a villain played by a hero. Easily beats his own vaali and varalaaru. Naan E Sudeep ellaam onnumey illa.
But, its the music which takes the movie forward. Mindblowing. I am still humming some of the BGM tunes. Yuvan could do wonders to a movie like Thuppaaki.

yesterday night.. 11 pm to 2 am..
KAADHAL MANNAN .. in KTV
- absolutely delightful to see that Ajith
- everything was placed neatly in the film.. not a single dull moment..
- everyone did a neat job.. Vivek & MSV.. special :clap:
- even the heroine was good..
- dialogues are very well written... liked the word plays
- songs & lyrics.. :bow:
- vivek is associate director..
- easily the best from Sharan [this is the spelling he uses]
- the ending is similar to another venkateswaralayam - saran combo.. Amarkalam.. i mean the style.. the lead pair will succeed in love & they start walking in the road.. end credits will be shown
- Saran - one of my fav. director.. he had a style.. different from those worked in 90's.. sad to see him now running out of ideas
The two are not in good terms, probably something happened during the shoot. This was their first & last movie together. Vivek's relationship with Hari too wasn't too good after Saamy (till Singam)Quote:

yes...the best film from Saran.....no doubt about that........ the beauty of this film is.......... a film with wafer thin story and lots of scenes with no logic...yet you never feel that while watching the movie..such is the screenplay and the freshness in the way it was directed....... one of my favorite moviesQuote:

I know I'm going to get a lot of shite for saying this, but one of my favourite ajith movie is citizen. I cant still get my finger on why I like it.
On a side note I think it's partially due to the mass grave digging up scenes and lots of other factors that both awed and terrified me as I was merely a child during the release of the movie.
my most fav Ajith film is Varalaru........ first half sappaiya irunthalum antha Sivasankar - villain son oda duel la padam soodu pidikkum...it was an awesome scene and Ajith's (esp Sivasankar's) mannerism, style, charisma anga dhool kilappum...... risky role for playing an effeminate character but Ajith pulled it off with tremendous ease. Another aspect I liked in this movie...was ARR's BGM (villain son wielding a knife to kill his father, villain son's theme, Sivasankar's Marriage when he comes down in steps etc.,) and Innisai song...A good entertainer....if only K.S.Ravikumar invested some more in Graphics, Visuals, Editing (except when he directed Kamal, many of KSR's movies suffered from very poor editing / CG) and marketing, it would have been a much more bigger hit than it actually was
