I read this as a "major criticism" besides the "contrvercial BGM"

Why does it ever happen????

Censor's impact??!

Consequence of "Hindi and TM versions" taken together?

Or, may be KH pushed it little too hard to get it released on April 14 :?

I will blame it on KH, because these are all directional falut. One should first know who the target audiance ofthe movie is before making any scene. You can not include an "item number" for a "family" movie or make fun of "Vande matharam" when you know that recently some "patriotic" movies are emerging with some "patriotic songs".

KH can not blame censor for cutting the scenes, because as a person who worked in this industry for over 25 years, he should very well know what is correct and what is not.

These are the -ve point that made MX not in the "classic" category, but in a "good movie" category and left viewers with some "incomplete" feeling.

and btw, I will not blame director SSR, cuz he was a proxy director.In last week sun TV's thirai vimarsanam, they where showing the shooting of MX and the director was literally sleeping in a shadow while Kamal was giving instructions!!!

Man! You are hilarious sometimes! :rotfl:

p.s: Hope Gautam is not reading your post?! :roll:

no with gautam things are different. If kamal put his hand (and voice) in VV, then its going to be another "aalavandhan"

I'm sure Suresh Krishna was the proxy director of Aalavandhan. When did he ever direct something so technically polished in his life?

Did you read Gautham's interview to rediff?Asked how he plans to handle Kamal who is known for interfering,he has replied:"I have given him a bound script with dialogues,how the scenes are going to be treated&the action set pieces.If he has a problem with any scene,I am willing to listen as he is more experienced.At the same time I am willing to argue my case."

My gut feeling is that it will be a Gautham film all the way&Kamal is not going to interfere, restricting himself to just suggestions.

Here is my review on the movie
