Most of them were PAIRs who came to the theatre for :oops:
IMO, IF Veyyil becomes a BLOCKBUSTER, then that will be good for Pasupathy who had done an excellant job in the movie.
His slang and modulation and acting wow..... :D
veyyil cant become a huge hit like kaadhal .... it might become an average hit... chennai kaadhal is sure flop...Quote:

Karthi,
For aalavanthaan, :roll: I think IT IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY.
That is why I would rate
LOW BUDGET MOVIES AS SAFE BETS COMPARED TO THESE ! :roll:
Plus - Investment and experiments should not go in the same film ! :) especially IF you are dealing with people who expect a LOT OF ROI
Let us leave this. It can hijack this thread :oops: :oops:Quote:

also aalvanathan.....i think thanu didn't do marketing for this movie at all...
lets leave aalavandhan and discuss veyyil or chennai kaadhal..
aalavandhan is very good movie except that flashback and bulls**t graphics.Quote:

[tscii]Veyil, A sunny escapade in a man’s life
This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com
Veyil
Bhavana & Bharath
Cast: Bharath, Pasupathy, Bhavna, Shriya Reddy, Priyanka, G M Kumar, T K Kala, S Ravi Maria.
Direction: Vasantha Balan
Music: G V Prakash
Banner: S Pictures
Director Vasantha Balan
Director Vasantha Balan has set his sight on awards for this film and in all likelihood could emerge successful in his mission. He is one of the initial apprentices from Shankar’s school of direction. Having trained Vasantha Balan in his school, Shankar has gone ahead to produce Veyil under his banner ‘S Pictures’. The first step towards the victory of this film is the selection of artists for each and every character where the director scores full marks.
The Theme
The film revolves around parental attitude towards their children. Though it is the right of every parent to raise their children with a sense of discipline, an excessive dose of regimental attitude is sure to misfire and bring chaos in the life of their offspring. This is the central fabric of Veyil around which the entire movie is spun.
Opening scene evokes a lot of expectations from the audience. The film unfolds in the first shot with thunder, lightening and rainfall totally in contrast with its title. Once the movie picks up pace and engulfs the audience in its flow, it induces a shower of tears from their eyes and sucks them in totally. It is difficult for anyone to come out unscathed in this emotional torrent.
Veyil
Besides this, the gramophone records and theatres which are slowly doing the vanishing act from our civilization are brought to light by the director. When the theatre in the film is bulldozed, our heart is also razed down along with it.
Veyil
The Story
The location for Veyil is a village near Virudunagar district. A small boy (Pasupathy) goes to cinema theatre instead of school and gets caught. As a punishment he is totally stripped of his clothes with his hands and legs tied by a rope and tormented in blistering mid-day Sun. Repeated apologies from him do not move his father. The humiliation and the excruciating pain that accompanies this event traumatize the life of this small boy to a great extent. This incident is getting rewound in his memory and acts as a cataclysmic one in his life. The boy under the impression of trying to get even with his father runs away stealing jewels and money from his household. The life that follows this scuttle forms the crux of the story.
Pasupathy
Having lost in the battle of life Pasupathy returns to his village after twenty years. For him, his eyes are his greatest forte which reflects an array of emotions so eloquently. The nostalgia with which he views his street, his house, his childhood playground is lucidly portrayed in his eyes and in his body language. When he sees his dad after a span of twenty years, his choked voice and the emotion laden face seem to clearly portend the emergence of a versatile actor in Tamil films. This sequence is bound to move even the strongest of hearts. If Pasupathy does not win an award for this film, then we can be doubly sure about the gauging inadequacies of the jury.
Veyil
Bharath
In a similar vein, Bharath has also raised up the occasion in the scene where he first sees his elder brother in the tea stall wondering why he was looking out for him. The moment he realizes that it is his long lost brother the younger actor demonstrates that he too can match up with Pasupathy in acting skills.
Veyil
Editing , Music and Cinematography
Directors’ crispy and linear narration has aided the editor a lot and has not given him much work. Similarly debutant music composer G V Prakash, nephew of A R Rahman has rendered life to the film with his music. His music speaks for itself in the department of back ground score and re-recording. Urugude is a melody number which is sure to find entry in the top 10 categories in all the television channels and radios. Cinematographer has done his role perfectly capturing the greenery of the southern Tamil Nadu.
Epilogue
When we come out of the theatres, the performance of all the actors stand out in our thoughts especially the child hood Pasupathy who requires a special mention. Whether this tear jerker would find a place in the heart of everyone would have to be waited and seen.
Thank you Vasantha Balan for a beautiful effort and for taking Tamil cinema to the next level.
Thank you Shankar for the trust and confidence reposed in the film maker.
Veyil is an emotional epic. A must watch for all especially parents.

CRITICS Review:
--------------
Gallata.com says:
Veyyil is realistic to a point and yet does not fail to entertain. It is a solid movie with a moral.
Veyyil is a wonderful movie worth seeing.
Nowrunning.com says:
If you want to watch one movie which can talk to you in form of emotions, feelings and touch your soul, here is a movie.
Veyyil is a beautiful movie with excellent star cast and great performance from Bharat and Pasupathy. The lyrics of the songs add to the beauty of the movie.
A realistic ending to a very powerful storyline. The movie was one of the best made movies recently and has a touch of class to it.
If you have a taste for good cinema, Veyyil is a must watch movie.
Splendid. Definitely award winning.
Sify.com says:
Bravo Shankar .. You have the guts. If you like good cinema, go and watch Veyil.
Verdict: Very Good
Hindu Says:
As soothing as the early Sun -- Veyil
A WORTHWHILE VENTURE: Veyil
With the story which deals with natural emotions, the screenplay that helps the film glide past without a trace of boredom, the songs so intelligently placed that they take the story forward, the dialogue, the dialect so native to the soil or the folks who look so real
A brilliant offering from director Vasanthabalan and a worthy feather in producer Shankar's cap!
Indiaglitz.com says:
Veyyil - Bright and bold
It was a soul-stirring deconstruction of love and its fallout in a particular milieu.
Rediff.com says:
Watch Veyil for its energy
Veyil is a film filled with energy from the word go. It keeps you engaged till the end with its alpha-male aggression tinged with dollops of sentimentality.
Behindwoods.com says:
Veyil, A sunny escapade in a man’s life.
When we come out of the theatres, the performance of all the actors stand out in our thoughts.
Veyil is an emotional epic. A must watch for all.
Cinesouth.com says:
How would it be to see sunshine in Chirapunjee? That's how one feels when watching 'Veyil' that portrays all facets of human emotions including romance in the most realistic manner.
The title means sunshine, but in many scenes the tears flow like the Chirapunjee rains and nothing can prevent that.
'Veyil' invokes emotions.

Chennai Kadhal
Vikraman has consciously tried to veer away from his usual sentiment and mournful “la…la…la…” background chorus in this film.
Bharath is the smart aleck student who copies in exams and confronts examiners who take him to task. Though he has a formal name, his father calls him a ruffian or 'tharadhalai' because of his irresponsible nature. Bharath even goes as far as taking his father to court and then leaves his home.
Radharavi is a thug who has even committed murder. His daughter is Genelia. Totally against her father's activities, Genelia stays in a hostel and pursues her education. Fate intervenes and the two meet. Though they spar initially, the relationship soon develops into love. The wicked further raises his gun and plans other things for Genelia. How Bharath fights back and wins his lady love forms the story.
Vikraman had given Vijay a hit, so when the director narrated his story, Bharath was all interest and this move has paid off. Bharath has done some fabulous fight scenes. Apart from that, there's nothing new about the character he plays.
Some scenes are quite entertaining like when he pours grape juice in a booze bottle and tricks Genelia and the train TTR, or when he is clad in a police inspector uniform and whisks off Genelia in a jeep. Like in 'Boys,' Genelia seems to be stuck with a sad character. Maybe Tamil films and melancholy go hand in hand for Genelia.
Though Radharavi has done a great job as a villain, surely director Vikraman should realize that we have been seeing such villain stereotypes for years!
When a song is over and shortly after another song sequence starts, it is rather trying for the viewers.
While running off to Mumbai, the heroine asks our hero what he did for money. “I sold my bike for Rs.40, 000,” says Bharath. We would be most grateful to Vikraman for showing us who would pay so much for a 2nd hand bike!
Till the very end, the hero shows no sign of any responsible behavior like getting a job or doing something useful with his life. All he is interested in is having a good time and romancing with Genelia. This is a weak point in the story line.
Except for the last song, the other songs by Joshua Sridhar all sound almost the same.
There's nothing fresh about 'Chennai Kaadhal.'
Veyil is doing moderately well in the B.O
Chennai kadhal has bombed.
Bharath is doing a movie with A.Venkatesh , Name of the movie is KILLADI .
Since the madras romance flopped, the art tiger producer is mad with the director. And to think he was raving about the director even the day before the film was released! Praise before release, censure after release by producers seems to have become norm of the day!
:huh: :oops:
with my Nila as the heroine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink: :D :) :yes: :victory:Quote:

In my review (in this thread) I mentioned that violence in climax bit too much and raw..The movie is almost 3 hours ..If they trimmed some parts ,reduce no of songs and reduce violence ,it could be a outstanding movie.
yes the movie drags a bit.Quote:

but certainly Veyyil is one of the better movies released this year. :thumbsup:
and is a close contender among the bests of this year Emttan Magan and E.
I found the film very very gory. The killings were graphic, realistic and very disturbing. Lengthy as usual. :roll:
Songs and bgm were pleasing. veyilOdu uravaadi and urugudhE stand out. (my friend commented that ARR's theeyil vizhundha thenaa would have been very appropriate for pasupathy character.)
who said it is bharath's movie? :shock:
it is down and out pasupathy's. heck he sings the best love duet, has two heroines, tells the story and does everything the lead should do.
bharath plays a secondary role and even his love life is left incomplete.
which is not to say that bharath didnt act well. all characters did thier parts extremely well. hats off to the director for extracting the best. bharath dances well, emotes well and does justice to his role.
this is his 4th movie where he has taken a secondary role after boys, chellamE and pattiyal. good if he concentrates on showcasing his talents rather than in unnecessary build ups.
I feel shankar pays back to the industry by prodcing movies that most ppl wont dare to invest in like imsai arasan. :thumbsup:
4 stars for veyyil!
veyil was a nice movie
Typical village based :D
Veyyil and Chennai Kaadhal have bombed miserably !
Infact, Chennai Kaadhal had done bit better than Veyyil :cry:
http://sify.com/entertainment/movies...hp?id=14353129
I do not see Chennai kadhal anywhere in the list.... :lol:
I watched Chennai Kaadhal last night and ENJOYED every moment of the movie. :clap:
Pls stop throwing rotten tomatos at me and read on. :lol2:
The movie was hilarious to the core. I couldn't stop laughing. :rotfl: No that it was a comedy movie, but it was a very very funny movie - I was laughing at the movie. :D
Every single frame was a cliche. In fact the only tragedy was it passing as a serious movie when it was actually spoofs of several movies. :P
Chennai Kaadhal starts in Mumbai (rightly so, since Veyyil started with a dark stormy night. :rotfl2:)
The first song was picturised in Putra Jaya in Kuala Lumpur. :lol:
Really, there is no unique story. You can continue counting the cliches and the all the audience toes and fingers added up will be insufficient. :roll:
We are to believe that baby-face bharath (and when he takes of his shirt he is still a baby) fights with goondas like a macho guy. :poke:
The villain sits on a chair and feeds hungry dogs with pieces of fleshes. :rotfl:
Hero bashes guy who does eve teasing, only later to do his bit of eve teasing. :lol2:
Hero makes fun of teachers and parents. The teacher of course saves heros life later while the long suffering parents go missing (dont report to police, only their characters go missing) Past year's heroine Sumithra is the mother who does a character like a painting on the wall. :rotfl:
wait there is more.
group of faithful freinds - comedians naturally - who can fool everyone and can you beat this, bharath dresses up as an Inspector and goondas actually accepts him as one. :rotfl2:
hold on, there's more. they ask which area inspector he is and he cooly says, "keezhpaakkam" :rotfl:
and when in one scene 2 groups of goondas chase bharath, hero cleverly makes them fight one another. :clap:
and in case you miss the intelligence of this scene, vikraman does a Pakiaraj (Vidiyum Varai Kathiru) and presents his name in full glory right in the middle of the movie.
semma kooththu paa! :poke:
The cliches continues, but the best is saved for the last.
malaysian cartoonist LAT (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2394/lat.html) drew a series of cartoons about 30 years ago - depicting a tamil movie scene. in the cartoon hero is chased by villans, who runs up a railway track. stationmaster changes tracks and hero's leg gets stuck in the changing track. train approaches with loud noise. frantic expression on hero's face. is his death imminent?
vikraman actually has this scene in the movie. :rotfl:
sollungappa, idhukku mele oru comedy padam paarkka mudiyumaa indha jenmaththula? :poke:
NOV,
I was 100% sure that you will watch that movie inspite of the reviews :lol2:
You have proved that ! :rotfl: :rotfl2: :poke:
"naaN petra inbam ..........."
come on selva. every movie fan MUST watch chennai kaadhal. I dont think there will ever be another movie like this. :lol2:Quote:
