I never talked about Thuppaki not being the worst movie or VJ's acting in the movie....my comment was only on the plot of the movie....if he is depicting the role of Army officer...how best he depicts it has to be left to the actor and the director....and the director will have to think of how to inter-twine the romantic portions without losing the plot....I would say thuppakki to me was fairy tale....

Take for example...Kamal's Kuruthipunal......Arjun and Kamal played Army Officers or Anti-Terrorist squad officers from the Army...very well done....the plot wasn't lost...while they tried to relax the movie by having some controversial (in the 1990's) portions then....

even Ajith too enacted the role of an Army officer in one of his earlier movies "Unnai Kodu Ennai Tharuven" and that didn't impress me much if I take the main plot of Army...but the plot was more related to the romantic with Army role as the sub-plot....It all depends on your convenience on how you take it...

Thatz not a weird taste bro........ my most favorite movie of VJ is Vaseegara.... he underplayed the role very well and in my opinion suited that character to a T........ he looked natural through out (except that climax portion in the railway station (before Nasser intervenes) where he was looking artificial)

Leosimha.. I respect ur opinions and thoughts... but ur last post(#81) made me :rotfl: .. only reason is ur choice of Army man movies... Kuruthipunal to thuppakki to unnai kodu ennai tharuven.. seriously...

Thanks for respecting my opinions and thoughts.....and I also respect your thoughts and opinions made especially the above one :)

Kuruthipunal in 1990 was way ahead....a very serious movie with a serious plot...
Unnai Kodu Ennai tharuven came later...the main plot was romance...so can't talk much about army role here...
Thuppakki came very much later...the plot was on sleeper cells and how an army man single-handedly goes on to find and demolish the sleeper cells without even the knowledge of intelligence, police officials...

If you clearly say thuppakki is not a Army movie...it is just a movie...then fine...no arguments...people here go rave about the actor doing the army role etc etc...

Guess you too are a kid and I am having fun talking to kids :)

My post was not multi layered.. It was plain simple and had no intention to pull ur leg here... Did I say thuppakki is not a army movie?.. All 3 movies u had mentioned are Army based with totally different subplots and screenplay.. Comparing these movies made me :rotfl: .. thatsall..
If u have a problem with bolded lines.. I can't help u..
talking kid, having kid ellam venaam...Better stop guessing me.

basically whether it is army movie or not........ it is the role of a military man........ Vijay carried it with élan in Thuppakki, (the body language of a military man while on a holiday / while on a duty even if it is a self taken one)....... Suriya the same in Varanam aayiram............... Ajith has the capabilities no doubt, as suggested in a few glimpses of the cop role he played in Mankatha but unnai kodu ennai tharuvaen portrayal was not serious I suppose(haven't seen the movie fully..only certain scenes..so my comment was based on those scenes)........ and of course Villu military role for Vijay was equally laughable........... and hence the whole discussion about directors to be given credit for shaping up the actors....

who is comparing...it is you who jumps to conclusions and comparisons...I was just stating out...on the movies and their plots...Thuppakki just falls out as an entertainment piece of movie not too serious and not too romantic and not too dramatic...

Glad to know we are on the same boat. Loved the scenes in the train and with Vadivelu. Songs were a major plus too. My favorites - Nenjam orumurai, Aaha enbargal. The only 2 irritating characters in the Movie were Sneha and Gayathri Jayaram

apart from Songs, the BGM was also good..esp the part when VJ sees Sneha eye to eye and the scene till Venaam venaam song....... that was awesome..... the whole film was a feel good movie and positive ambiance all around......antha padatha parthuttu i used to think..athula varra VJ maathiri oru mappillai sister ku parkanum nu :)

:) Thanks

So are we moving on to Vijay 58, finally :).

Still can't get out of the Kaththi mania, favourite scenes and box office records still keep me hooked to it.

Looks like Vijay has started another big one here and cannot stop admiring the way he keeps hopping on to his next without much ado.

Wishing Vijay, a super outing and hoping for some good entertainment from Devan.

Thanks to Bimmer and Subras for keeping the thread alive with interesting discussions.

Not just you both, I have heard many people pick Vaseegara as their favourite Vijay movie.

To me personally, Vaseegara is not one of my favourites, though :(

Two things which I think Vijay should have done right for Vaseegara is first, he shouldn't have trimmed his hair, second, he should have trimmed S.A. Rajkumar, out.

The music apart from 'aha enbargal' IMO sounded way too outdated and his background score was equally inept IMHO.

Apart from that, the sequences involving Vijay and Vadivelu, Vijay's Kushi-like encounters with Sneha, the 'Engliss Theriyadha' reactions, his 'collector dream', Pandiyarajan's LOL roller coaster....were all really enjoyable.

All in all, an yet another Vijay movie of those times (Youth, Pudhiya Geethai, Thamizhan, etc) which had the makings of a really good movie, but somehow falling short, one reason or the other.

You too like that Roller Goster(??) ride scene? PR's reactions were epic. :)

The dialogue he says to Vijay 'Nammaku intha Roller Goster thaan rightu :) is missing here, but still a laugh riot :)

boss..don't equate Vaseegara with Pudhiya Geethai, Sachein et.al.........there is a fundamental difference between Vaseegara and these other movies...... in Vaseegara he played a next door guy with likeable qualities (thuru thuru, naughty, lovable son and lovable friend)....he did not even bother about falling at the feet of a small girl, albeit for a comic scene but in those other movies he was portrayed as a adhi medhaavi and worse the supporting characters were dumb or a jackass...... Youth was ok...... but something was missing in it...some peppiness in the screenplay........apart from that the heroine also was not good..... they originally wanted Reema sen in that character but due to some issues this girl came up and Reema came for Bhagavathi...

Not taking that route at all :). It was more about his movies on the whole, rather than the characters he played.

Apart from the fact that all those movies released one after the other, no other comparisons intended :)

Agree with you on how Bhoopathi was the better character he played those days compared to Shiva (Youth), Sarathi (Pudhiya Geethai) or any other character.

But , when Vikram was blasting his way through those times with movies such as Dhill, Gemini and Dhool, we were expecting for some action from Vijay, purely from a fan's perspective. It was an expectation to move out of the 'love' route which began way back in Poove Unakkaga and then sealed through Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and take the 'action' route which seemed the order of those times. Even Maddy came up with Run.

It did eventually happen a little later through Thirumalai and then that industry-defining Ghilli. That's the reason why to me personally, (merits/demerits of the characters aside) all movies between Shajahah-Vaseegara all lacked a punch.

Very good Discussion.
After reading these romance action comedy and all, feeling little harsh about comments on "Vijay's Versatility"

Cedy,

Not sure if you know this. Lingu wrote Run keeping Vijay in mind as the hero. But AM Rathnam wanted a hero with a chocolate boy image to do the lead so that its fresh for the audience. Eventually, he was right.

I believe Autograph too was envisioned with Vijay as the lead

Yes. But Vijay rejected the film. And I feel he was right too. Cheran was good in that film.

Knew Lingu had Vijay in mind, but did not know the reason why it moved out of Vijay :)

Apparently this is the translation: Somebody please confirm :)

"I haven't played such grand role in my career, couldn't deny when Chimbudevan narrated #Vijay58."

So Sudeep, Sridevi and Sruthi........all have been raving about the script...Should be good on paper, hope it translates onto silverscreen.

No wonder you dont remember a film called Osthi.
