‘I,’ a Tamil Film by Shankar, Starring Vikram
I
Opened on Wednesday
Directed by Shankar
In Tamil, with English subtitles
3 hours 8 minutes; not rated
An exercise in maximalism in everything except its title, “I,” a Tamil film directed by Shankar, concerns the boom-and-bust fortunes of a bodybuilder turned model. An early sequence in which our hero, Lingesan (Vikram), in a little bikini bottom, wins the title of Mr. Tamil Nadu gives a sense of the movie’s style: fast, noisy, visually crowded, unafraid of vulgarity or repetition. In a you-ain’t-seen-nothing-yet moment — one of many — a brawl breaks out among this sea of oiled, muscled men and goes on so long that you forget the context.
Shankar tells his story in the broadest strokes and likes to plunge audiences into scenes that won’t be fully explained until hours later. (The movie is a whopping, sometimes numbing 3 hours 8 minutes.) But rest assured, very full explanations are coming — why connect the dots once when you can connect them five times?
Lingesan becomes Lee, the No. 1 male model, and gets to work with the woman he has long dreamed of, Diya (Amy Jackson). (He’s so besotted that he buys every product she advertises, including sanitary napkins.) Could she fall for a bumpkin like Lee? Reader, she does, amid fields of psychedelic flowers.
Shankar has fun with the look of glossy ads and includes some eye-popping effects (a Nokia phone and then a fish metamorphose into dancing women!). But that’s just one mode in this film, which bounces from romance to knockabout adventure to fairy-tale grotesque. A vengeance-wreaking hunchback (Vikram again), with horrible facial deformations, holds a woman hostage at his castle (complete with MacBook). Further deformations are violently visited upon a passel of villains — by fire, by bee sting, by injection. Death, we’re told, is not enough. Love, we’re told, is.
Dialogue is so beside the point here that with the addition of a few title cards, “I” could easily be a silent movie — though a noisy one, with a boom-boom score by A.R. Rahman that signals at each turn how the audience should feel, and with flurries of drums, speeds the film along. “I” is exuberant and unselfconscious but too cartoonish to engage your emotions. The onslaught of images and music will engage your senses, though, even as you’re left giggling at the too-muchness of it all. RACHEL SALTZ
@bharath1: Thirunangaigal hve alleged that they are portrayed in a bad light in Shankar's #I. They hve announced protests against the film.
I had shown Thirunangai as a person who earn Rs.50,000 per day as a beautician...rest as story required..
And it is actually true.. http://www.ojasrajani.comQuote:

then...We need to appreciate her for accepting this role...
May be Shankar met Ojas during the shoot of Endhiran and was inspired to write a role for her in I.
Agreed. But what didn't go well with me was Vikram and Santhanam singing 'Oororam Puliyamaram' when they are introduced to Ozma and she getting admitted to room no.9. It was not in good taste. Shankar keeps doing things like this. Angavai/Sangavai was the previous instance.Quote:

IMAX only at TGV right Mahen... So far no tamil movie play malaysian IMAX theater :(
Yeppo-than viduvukaalam varumo :)
France update : all shows house full ... They have decided to add more shows
Before it was taken over by GSC, it was called IMAX and was the only Imax theatre in the country. I've watched a couple of movies when it was an independent cinema.
Perhaps the Maxx name change is branding.
I doubt any of our films are shot in IMAX, which really needs an IMAX screening. Bigger the hall, bigger is experience is wrong, unless the footage was a product of the amazing IMAX filming process. Else it looks just bigger hardly without any resoultion. For a variety of reasons, IMAX film production is much more complex than normal film production, add in the cost incurred, we cannot be aiming at it atleast for the next decade. Also, we don't have IMAX theatres, so making our regional movie with IMAX does not hold any benefit. Large budget (say Hollywood movies Mission Impossible or Matrix or Batman) films added footages shot in IMAX to the main play, and some are even processed to be projected using double projectors (like in GrandRex Paris - not IMAX though).Quote:

While the aspect ratio of traditional movies is a widescreen is usually 1.85:1 or 2.35:1, IMAX is closer to that of a rectangle at 1.43:1.
The camera are heavy and the projectors are noisy. Given the cost of production - filming, processing & projecting - the ticket price shoots up. But the experience you get is huge. Add in all the techniques of Sourround Sound System, you are taking the experience to your home. So it all depends how much you wish to spend, the necessity and finally the audience acceptance rate.
So, expecting our movies on IMAX, for the moment is still a dream. If one of our movies is projected in IMAX, I pity the audience.
pawan kalyan fans degrading Shankar & tamil films in social networking sites because I going touph competition to pawan movie
gopala gopala
I update you during the weekend. 3 films lined up - Darling, Ambala & I. The 2 former are limited release only, thats why I wish to see them during the weekend, and I during the next week-day. I read that the premiere shows priced 20,20 euros were House Fulll too, and the film held good past couple of days. Week-end is a boon.Quote:

***Alone Has Poor Start At Multiplexes

Alone opened to poor capacities at multiplexes of around 10% and has little chance at multiplexes and will be depending on business in single screens of mass circuits where the opening was better. The film has a good release at multiplexes with some plexes giving it two screens.
The other two Hindi releases Crazy Kukkad Family and Sharafat Gayi Tel Tene have no chance as the initials are too low and even if they were to pick up they will be hardly going anywhere.
There was also the dubbed film I which will also find it hard to find an audience in Hindi though Mumbai circuit can do better. The film is a Tamil film released on Wednesday down South and set records in many stations of Kerala though in Tamil Nadu was well short of the initial business recorded by Rajnikant starrer Lingaa a few weeks back.***
They label "I" as a dubbed movie and bring down before its release!!!
BO update: New releases start on a slow note
It certainly seems like the weeks post the release of PK have been running low with the newer releases not being able to pick up pace at the box office. While last week's Arjun Kapoor - Sonakshi Sinha film TEVAR, proved to be a letdown, this week we see the release of four films ALONE, I, CRAZY CUKKAD FAMILY (CCF) and SHARAFAT GAYI TEL LENE (SGTL). While ALONE caters to the growing horrex (horror-sex) genre, I rests firmly in the action romance zone. The other two, CCF and SGTL cater to the comedy- satire genres. With each film being equally different from the other the audiences have multiple choices depending on their preference.
Though expectations for all four of the new releases have been rather low, reports suggest that ALONE featuring Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover, has opened on a good note as compared to the others. On the other hand I, that is inspired by 'Beauty and the Beast' has opened slightly lower than ALONE, while CCF and SGTL do not feature morning shows.
On the whole, thanks to the growing genre of horrex and a better screen count, ALONE stands a better chance at enticing the audience, while I, despite the action and visuals faces a drawback due to its length which might just deter the audience. CCF and SGTL that will open only later in the day have an uphill task of standing out from the clutter. However all four films will have to rely heavily on good word of mouth to post decent collections.
Hindi version was not expected to collect like Tamil or Telugu versions. I am sure if both these versions do well, Aascar will be happy.
They have been doing this for every movie including Robot, Viswaroopam ! Let us see how "I" do this time! I am not sure THEY WILL EVEN reveal the REAL FIGURES! Their intention is "bringing down" any SI movie!
"I" is safe because ASSCAR did not distribute thru Singaravelan! :lol:
Please note enthiran, Vishwaroopam ran very well in hindi..The name shankar and vikram is not popular like Aishwarya,rajnikant,kamalhaasan..Quote:

Did taalash,dhoom3 run well in chennai city..no bcoz movie is bad..same way lingaa is not good so it didnt go well,if VR2 is not good it will also flop as simple as that..
USV,
Talaash is not a bad movie. It was for a niche audience. Thats all.
For me and many its a bad movie boss..dhoom3 also like by some rt,overall both movies not liked by majority of the audience like PK..thats the whole point we are discussing here,rtQuote:

Ok fine..but the point if the movie is liked by majority of audience with some liking of the star apart from their regional favourite star it will do well if no good big star regional movies are released..Quote:

Regarding "I" Aascar need not worry about hindi collections..even the hit movie like VR2 collected only 20C in hindi belt with logistics,priniting theater share the producer would have got only 10C profit..
Aascar will earn more than that 10C with extended pongal holiday in AP/TN..5 days collection in TN/AP will be huge for him and he directly distributing in many areas so not a big problem..
I enjoyed Talaash more than a lot of their other mass entertainers. Havent watched PK though ... Not sure Endiran and VR did well in Hindi although a lot of NI folks I spoke to seemed to have had a very good opinion of them.
OK,let me wait for some more days to understand the clear picture..yeah i know like we support hindi movies they dont respect SI movies but it has to do mainly with north india like delhi,etc..in maharashtra,gujarat they support good SI movies and KH,RK were popular SI heroes for themQuote:
