IMO, any thread on Prabhu must descend into P Vasu bashing because that is the man who made Prabhu a dim-wit on screen. A finely talented actor ws reduced to rubble and P Vasu had a starring role in it. I would say it is appropriate and relevant discussion here.
One thing for sure. In many P.Vasu movies comedies has been good be irrespective of the movie.. That is the only plus point i would say in P.Vasu movies :P Better not to talk about the rest :evil:Quote:

I remember watching it on big screen and sinking in my chair (I sunk again recently, but I won't tell which film).
The film is saved by Prabhu's presence, his sense of humour, and Ilayaraja. Of course, you know where the other sense of humour in this film comes from (my guilty pleasure).
I asked this before and I ask again, could P. Vasu be the worst amongst the directors of better budgetted film? I wonder.
sarna_blr, i sure didnt make Chinna Thambi a hit. Also, ofcourse, one can blame Prabhu himself for choosing to act in those films.
But idhellam oru guilty pleasure - vera yaaraiyavadhu thittina, fan club censure varum - ivarai thittina onnum varadhunnu dhairayathula thittitaen :-)

I was not rushing out to see it, but I keep hearing from people how great it is and all. Of course, we know about the songs.
Then, poyee paartaaa!!!!! :x
Prabhu gave his best, very decent and soulful performance. I thought Nee Enggey song was irritating, but thanks to P. Vasu's impeccable direction, the scene turned out to be a bigger pain in the neck than I thought was ever possible (rivaling entire performance by Jyothika in CM)
Good comedy, good songs (except that one) and Prabhu are the elements I will look forward to, if I am going to see it again.
You mean close contender to being worst director? I categorise him such, because of his capability to undertake huge projects and ruin it. I mean, he is not like Perarasu, you know what you are going to get when you go to a Perarasu or Shakti Chithambaram movie.Quote:

We like some of his movies, only because of the talents in it, not because they were well directed.
To divert people from P.Vasu centric discussions, let me update some new informations on Prabhu.
In addition to
Ayan
Kandhasamy
Asoka Vanam
Prabhu is doing two more films.
One that has Bharath in the lead and the
second one has Arun Vijay in the lead.
Though it is good that he is putting his talent to good use, hope this right,left and centre signing doesn't push him into the range of Vijayakumar.
