He had natural chemistry with Ajith in Billa and was well used. The character is definitely, err, fleshier than original.
I agree on VR and CM, he could have been better used. We discussed about that already in this thread.

In CM, Prabhu did well as I argued before. It is just that the character doesnt conform to our notions of a "manly", "macho" etc. Groucho, in Manichitrathazhu, there were hints of the nagulan(prabhus character) being impotent, and neglecting of his wife as a result(part guilt, part inability), a bit of a wimp. In the whole of CM, the only one to catch the spirit of the original was Prabhu, and this despite Vasu's direction obscuring this fact, his acting revealed the hints. That is class, in my book.
Yeah, Plum. We have discussed that, as did Murali-sar also. Maybe if I had seen the original, I might be able to understand the role better and appreciate Prabhu here. But seeing Manichitrathazu may also result in me pricking P. Vasu's voodoo doll :twisted:
Indeed, groucho. In MCT, the pieces fit together. Nagulan neglects his wife. The wife has psychological issues, buys into the Nagavalli theory. And pertinently, her villain is...nagulan himself - and that fits in psychologically very well. Because Nagulan, her husband with his impotency, is the hurdle between her and her dream lover(which is again Nagulan himself but in her idealised form). So, psychologically, it fits in that she considers him the hurdle and tries to kill him. In Tamil, shifting that onus to Rajni, comes out of nowhere and doesnt buttress the multiple personality theory - there is no underlying psychological reason for her to consider Rajni's character as the hurdle between her and her lover. The real Ganga, and the Chandramukhi have absolutely no common underpinnings in common. The pieces dont fit together. You cannot appreciate that story unless you see MCT. You must see it.
Happen to watch Something Something Unakkum Enakkum 2 days ago. Really liked Prabhu's acting. A very calm acting. :cool:
Rakesh bro, try this. I'm sure u will like it. :)
Did you even watch the Tamil version? There is no scene where Jothika considers Rajini as a hurdle between her lover.Quote:

So, the kolai veri for Rajni that Jyothika must have a psychological reason - which is not explained or hinted in the movie. The only possible psychological explanation for Jyothika's targetting Rajni in her CM avatar is that Saravanan covets his friend's wife just like Vettaiyan coveted the dancer CM - obviously, that is neither hinted nor possible since Rajni is playing that role of Dr Saravanan. This is the only way Saravanan could have stood between Jyothika and her lover. Obviously, that explanattion doesnt wash so the psychological angles used are pointless and not justified in the movie.
OTOH, I would say Anniyan married the psychological symptoms and consequences relatively better though it had its own flaws.
I am not a fan of that movie but I would like to explain somethings.
Rajini would go in disguise of Vettayan and challenged her to kill him on Dhurgashtami - that is the only reason why Jothika wants to kill him. CM now thinks Rajini is Vettayan and wants to seek revenge on him.
You seem to have completely ignored this and confused with MCT.
Jothika does want to kill Prabhu who she thinks is her hurdle between her lover, but the lover here refers to Vineeth, whom CM assumes as her real lover whom was killed by Vettayan. That is shown when she tries to kill Prabhu many times.
And yes I agree the psychological terms are used very loosely and explanation in detail by means of scenes is very poor. What much can you expect from a P Vasu film? :P
Plum :shock: P.Vasu direct panna padaththula logic, continuity, justification, explaination etc ellaam edhirpaakkureenga :omg:
avatrai ellam P Vasu padathula expect pannaa 4 sins :PQuote:
