Terrific scene which in itself gives a snapshot of the heroes attitude/characterization,but absolutely no relevance to the plot or proceedings :) Army'kkum antha situation'kkum enna sambandham :?Quote:

2012 MASS OR CLASS? Behindwoods
What if Viay did not do a kuthu number? What if Surya did not reveal his six packs? What if Vikram did not to physically metamorph himself? Ajith guarantees a blockbuster opening but would he also guarantee a blockbuster? Or do we experiment with new faces, taut screenplays without songs and suspense dramas? Can a movie succeed without a comedy track or a duet set in a pristine European locale? Does commercial cinema featuring top actors succeed over small budget films relying on just plots and scripting? Year after year the same debate rages amidst film buffs, critics and movie makers. Does 2012 give us the answers?
Surya as conjoined twins piqued our curiosity and the technical aspects of filming set our expectations soaring. Yet Maattrraan did not match up to the superlative standards. Meanwhile, Attakathi which neither featured a six pack hero nor a glam doll girl kept our smiles intact until we walked out.
Mugamoodi was touted as Tamil cinema’s first superhero movie. The amazing mask man did nothing to the folks who had lapped up comic book heroes from Hollywood. Yet a simple drama about a housewife’s travails over English taught us how resilience triumphs. The superwoman was one among us and we cheered for her unabashedly in English Vinglish.
Karthi’s intricate political moves in Saguni fared pale in comparison to Balaji’s attempts in succeeding in love in his debut movie Kadhalil Sothapuvathu Yeppadi. An honest attempt at everyday love debacles was rewarded richly than a political drama that left a sour after taste.
Sundarapandian introduced Sasikumar as the mass hero and the movie had all true elements of a commercial film. Poda Podi shot extensively abroad featuring Simbu and Varalakshmi with a superior soundtrack did not work up the magic that the former could even while staying rooted in our villages.
Charulatha featured Priyamani as conjoined twins but the movie was not half as spooky as the story about the “Pizza” delivery boy. Pizza broke box office records and Tamil cinema has finally found its thriller genre.
Billa 2 was Ajith’s biggest opening till date. Yet even his presence could not mask the movie’s weak storyline. Naan E did not feature a big name hero nor was the hero human. The fly triumphed over mortals and proved that for a movie to succeed duets, humor and drama are all secondary.
Thaandavam’s promotions screamed of echolocation. While the movie hardly made use of this technique, Oru Kal oru kannadi had no techniques to boast off. Humor and Santhanam carried the movie all way to the top.
With movies with big heroes bombing and debut directors weaving magic and setting the cash registers ringing, 2012 steered through a clear path. Yet if there is one movie that dispels our mantra about established stars, it is Thupakki. Thuppaki races as the straight shooter where the story does not play second fiddle to the hero’s image. We need an entertainer and one that wouldn’t make tall claims about its genre and then fall flat. We can do without logic but we cannot sit through songs that interrupt the well woven plot. We want to cheer our hero but an intro number is not half as important as an engaging screenplay. A guaranteed blockbuster is a happy marriage between mainstream commercial cinema and an air tight storyline. Hence, proved.

Found a cool easter egg in the Vennilave song. Might or might not have been intentional. When I saw the song in the movie, that gesture was very familiar but couldn't put my finger on it. Found it now.

@taran_adarsh: Overseas is *not* limited to Hindi films alone. Non-Hindi films are leaving a stunning impact. Recent example is Tamil film #Thuppakki.

Vijay's resounding overseas success with Thuppakki
Thuppakki has met with success not only in the domestic markets of the country but also in key overseas markets like Malaysia, USA, UK and Australia.In Malaysia, till date, this Vijay starrer has collected a record 8.77 crores in Indian rupees (1.614 million USD). According to a noted trade analyst, Thuppakki has done fabulously in the other aforementioned overseas markets as well. In UK and Ireland, till date the collection is 1.68 crores (188,838 pounds) while in the USA, the film’s gross is 2.51 crores (452,734 USD) and Australia has resulted in returns amounting to 46.73 lakhs (80,264 ASD).This success proves that overseas markets are opening up to Tamil films as well and it’s not just about Hindi films. With more Tamil biggies slated in the coming weeks, we can expect the overseas market to continue booming.

cheers.....:-D
so soon..piracy at its peak.
sad.the producer's arent doing anything about it.
its not piracy, its legal. lotus and sruthi (owned by ayngaran) release it to prevent piracy.
Piracy is not going to affect the movie anymore. It's nearing the end of its run.
dvd already out here
For TF , power cut is helping to reduce the damage of piracy . Though they are buying CD , not able to see...:goodidea:
This Lotus Fivestar DVD is a waste. Theyve chopped off most of the action scenes for violence.
Saw this movie today...went with nil expectations inspite of so many positive feedback and reviews and came out fully satisfied.... ARM surprises us in many places....he seemed to have learnt a lot from his 7th sense experiences...where he fell in love with the theme itself and slipped in the screenplay.....here the screenplay is much tighter...there are many woww..scenes...vijay's entry to save his sister takes the cake.......dialogues were crisp and felt like kind of straight from heart rather than forced...... the tribute to Military in many of the places are very commendable...and the best thing is ......... hero va one man army ah kaatama co-ordination la work panni jeyikkira maathiri kaatarathu......... climax fight was good...but still the slightly similar Ghilli climax fight was more awesome and energetic...
now to the minuses... HJ romba naal Suriya padama music pottathunalayo ennavo niraya songs Ayan, Maatran, 7th sense ah nyabaga paduthara mathiri irunthathu....and the last song was similar to the nanban song ("nalla nanban"). songs were a speed breaker...and in my humble opinion Kajal did not look so good (as compared to Maatraan...may be ithula boxer nu sonnathalo ennavo)
overall.......... worth the money spent......
@ajaybaskar: Would you know if there is going to be a Blue-ray release for Thuppakki?Quote:
