even i said, English is not the only criteria to judge a actor....when people hype him to be the best, i expect him to be good in roles that are "out of his zone"* - illaya? adhu oru criteria-ve illaya? vittudren :D

*out of surya zone = englishfied urbane coffee day characters

well.. ahh.. ahh...

Remember reading in AV, "Aan VednasdE" :lol:

Maddy,
Yes, I understood that you're talking about playing characters that are "out of one's comfort zone." If your point is really about that, you should perhaps criticise Surya on those lines -- that he's typeset as an actor, that he plays the same kind of characters and so on. But being fluent in many languages is a different thing altogether. Everyone has their own limits. (At least for me, it isn't a useful yardstick to estimate an actor.) So, when you talk about English, the question that would automatically raise is "why?" Why English? For instance, Telugu is spoken by a lot more people than English in Tamilnadu. Would you set that as a criterion as well?

Aadhavan is insufferable, and resoundingly bad. And I liked Ayan.

Surya :lol2:

Thilak,
He he, pAththAchchA? Good. I might watch it some time this week. Story is by Ramesh Kanna.

Nerd, I think Surya said, all actors are my competitors ! Maybe he missed Maddy's name verbally.

Examples? Excepting the films of Gautham who quite obviously has a sort of subconscious adolescent admiration/attraction towards the West.
