:shock: One of the most tedious films I have ever seen.
Take SS away from Padaiyappa, it would be a task to watch the movie
Bundling up all KSR laurels (you guys forgot Jaggubhai - the climax helicopter fight innum yen kannu munalaya irruku + Police giri partha adhirshtamum ennaku undu, full movie is there on youtube), so bundling up all KSR laurels, I feel that the theme they choose itself is a win-win suituation.
Let me explain : From time to time a period film takes a walk in TFI. And most of them were well received. Not going into other such movies in detail - if we take Chandramukhi, the Vettaiyan part was the biggest boost. When I saw it with my partner on the National French Television, she was completely hooked to the "lakakala" followed by the whole dance sequence. I got to constantly remind her that Rajini and Vettaiyan are 2 different persons where one is real and the other is reel, as she started to say that Rajini chopped the head off... LoL. So why I say that is - always an epic genre movie is welcomed. Each audience finds something interesting in it. If you take any dream-song sequence, a Historical backdrop visuals are instant hit than the swiss connection.
Taking Kochadaiiyan, for the mocap essay they could have gone for a complete fantasy or after the sucess of Endhiran they could have stuck with a sci-fi. But incarnating Rajini as a Prince adds more value (but ofcoarse I agree that the marketing strategy not being upto the point - they are hyping it as though Rajini is more than a super-hero - thats why I favored easygoer's crisp summary).
Actually, I wished not to talk about the fonctional parts and stick to the technical side as I found Mocap quite interesting and there is much much more to talk about. But as the arrows (posts) are pointing towards story-screenplay-direction, here is my guess (which comes with "maybe") : Kochadaiiyan is about a "chanakya-in-warrior-costumes". It could be about a Prince who with his manipulating technics gets back his kingdom, that which was forcefully taken from his ancestors. He gradually brings down the roof and exposes the throne upon which he claims his rights. I made that up after listening to several interviews. If its atleat 50% in these lines, it could be interesting, plus, add in 3 Rajinis : like (Muthu Style (a sageous calmness), Vettaiyan Style (an arogant one) + a Prince - that should come as a suprise (take Alaudinum Arputha Vilakkum as a reference). So, as my favorite star Uma Thurma says : Hey! what (else) did you expect, I suppose how the movie could proceed is already enough to keep "anyone" engaged.
What bothers me the most in the Mocap (accompanied with comparisons). Thats why I spent some time to talk about it so that we, atleast here, know its ups and downs. But what teaser has brought in (+ & -) will be doubled during the trailor release. Then you got songs release, promos, stills, posters before finaly the movie hits the screens. So lets get 'nitrogen booster pumps' installed to our fingers as there is much much more to type in.
'கோச்சடையான்' ட்ரெய்லரை யூ டியூப்பில் லட்சக்கணக்கான மக்கள் பார்த்ததால் பூரித்துப் போயிருக்கிறார் சௌந்தர்யா.
'அப்பா படத்துக்கு நல்ல ரெஸ்பான்ஸ் இருக்கு. தீபாவளிக்குப் படத்தை ரிலீஸ் செய்யலாம்' என்று சௌந்தர்யா சொல்ல, ரஜினி தாடையைத் தடவியபடி சின்னக்கண்களால் மோட்டுவளையை மேய்ந்தாராம்.
'தீபாவளிக்கு வேணாம் பேசாம பொங்கலுக்குப் போயிடலாம்' என்று மகளிடம் சொல்லி விட்டாராம்
என்ன காரணம்? என்று ரஜினி தரப்பில் விசாரித்தால், ''ரஜினி, கமலுக்கு அடுத்தபடியான ஹீரோக்கள் விஜய், அஜித் ரெண்டு பேருமே தங்கள் படங்கள் ஒரேநாளில் ரிலீஸ் ஆகறதை விரும்பாம தெளிவா தவிர்க்குறாங்க.
அவங்களே அப்படி இருக்கும்போது, ரஜினி எவ்வளவு யோசிப்பார்? தீபாவளிக்கு கமலோட 'விஸ்வரூபம்2' ரிலீஸ் ஆகிறது.
அப்போ 'கோச்சடையான்' படத்தை வெளியிட்டு கமல் படத்தோட ரஜினிபடம் மோதறதை விரும்பலை. அதனால்தான் ரஜினி சௌந்தர்யா பேச்சுக்கு செவிசாய்க்கலை'' என்று விளக்கம் சொல்கிறார்கள்.
