rajeshkrv, i said nothing wrong about his voice. My quote was just a reply to the question raised on Karthik's shocked expression. :-) I agree Radharavi has a gifted voice but he hasnt been utilized properly in TFI. Especially in the 90's he played the cliched role of a villiage chieftain AND/OR heroine's brother or father.

I dont think so. Kizhakku Vasal, released before Ponnumani was a better movie & a big hit.

Ponnumani was well known as a followup to the hit Kizhakku Vasal, mattapadi just the songs. I don't remember what the movie is about, except it features a misunderstood poor Karthik, a different role that a poor misunderstood Karthik in Kizhakku Vasal. However, the director, Uthayakumar then directed Karthik again as poor misunderstood Karthik in Nanthavana Theru a totally forgettable film, even the songs despite IR.

I think it did reasonably well. There was another followup to this followup - Muthukkalai (Karthik, Soundarya, Napolean). And many more followups to Kizhakku Vasal - like Deiva Vaakku (Karthik, Revathi), Katta Panjayathu etc

Poor Misunderstood Karthik - LOL.

Okay, they are PM Karthik followup. Nan sonnathu RVUK/PMK followup. Dang, sound like political coalition now.

"Poor Misunderstood Karthik" is a Genre by itself! Unnedathil Ennai Koduthean, That one film with double action karthik, one dies, so the other pretends to be him, to uplift his whole family, only to get caught and crucified in the climax... Don't remember the name.

Karthik seriously has done his share of these films... Masochistic Fellow! :lol2:

Sandhita Velai ?

Thats the one! :)

This style is also Director Vikraman's Fort!

He made another with that guy from Unakku 18 Enakku 20... Same Type of story... Friend works his ass off to make his other friends big shots, the families which disowned his friends return after their sucesses, only to neglect and try to sideline the Thyagi. In the end, alls well ends well, with the overdone BG Score which is painfully repetitive throughout the movie...

Thyagam, Misunderstanding and Irritatingly Repetitive BGM are all important elements to a Vikraman Film IMO. :P
