Watched back to back "Gone girl" and "Prisoners" - both very good made films. The latter is a bit more dark and intense.
This year the tamil movies I enjoyed most: VIP, Veeram, Naan sigappu manidhan (except flashback), Thegidi, Arima Nambi and Jigarthanda. But 2015 line up of movies are :smokesmirk:
Thala,
I didn't know that some are interested in French Comedies - the Original title is 'Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu'. Its an expression (French language has loads and loads of expressions that suit the suituation, but difficult to translate as it will loose its intended meaning). Close I can get is - "What did we do to deserve this, my lord or god". Now you can relate it with the parents and their .... LoL. I don't know how the translated version seemed, but the original one was hillarious.
For English thriller this year, try to watch Nightcrawler. Should revive the Hollywood thread, soon.
I second that.Quote:

I think Rebecca Romijn Stamos pulled it off better as Mystique than Jennifer Lawrence. I dont know why they use Jennifer Lawrence. Nevertheless there is another X men movie looking forward to called X men: the Apocalypse. :-)
Pisasu - Liked it! Its a sentiment ghost but the way the movie presented was too good. The twist in the climax was nice. :thumbsup:
Who is the music director? I love that song and all those terrific BGM's.. typical Mysskin's ...
You can definitely watch it
Meaghamann - Superb ! Thirumeni Sir :bow: Drags here and there... But still refreshing to see :)
Kayal- above average movie but compare to PS last 2 movie.. I will rate this is the best :)
As usual PS trade mark songs & visual :bow:
Watched four films
Pk: excellent
Pisasu: excellent
Naigal jakirathai: kodumai
Dumb dumber 2: kodumai
Meaghamann - Liked it. Intense Action film. Felt a bit unsatisfied with the climax. The torture scene was disturbing and I do not realize how this film did not get an A certificate when films like Billa 2 did.
Kayal - Liked it. Specially the first half with all the humour. The love story itself was not very convincing. Of all the Christmas releases I liked this a bit more.
Vellakara Durai - Did not enjoy one bit. I did like parts of Manam Kothi Paravai and some of the comedy in Desingu Raja. But this was a big bore for me. But everyone around me was laughing heartily and I was wondering whether the comedy standards have hit that low or whether I had lost taste for this type of comedy.
Kappal - Liked it. Decent comedy film. A bit too lengthy and the longest of the 4 movies. Some of the comedy rocked.Felt could have been better with more consistency.
Movie buff sir,bit pada renjekku bittu bitta rasichirikeenga pola..ethukkum kayalla paatu veppom...imman songs ellam pinni irukappla...yen aala paakka poraren song..raja rahman level...
Meghamann - not as good as Thdaiyara Thaaka but its stilll worth a watch..magizh thirumeni can be promoted into the big league.. :thumbsup: time to get call sheet of vijay/ajit..
i wonder why producers are stupid these days..3 films released this week clashing with each other..out of 3, one will be a decent hit and the rest average/flop..
Vellakaara Durai- Director Ezhils usual grinder mix
Director Ezhil is like director Hari. He refuses to come out of his comfort zone and try something new. The movie deal with usual for no good guy falling in love with girl who is engaged to Villain, and how the hero gets the girl in the end. Since the movie lacks logic directors added several twists as he wished to justify some scenes. Is there anything good about the movie at all? yes, running time is just 2.10 mins.
Vikram Prabhu: wrong cast, Sri Divya: type cast, Soori: the scapegoat cast. john vijay: sirippu villain cast
D.Imaan: all songs are dissapointing but bgm OK.
I am suprised to read this movie is the winner of Xmas releases, please tell me this is a joke.
Meagamann
Finally a director has shown some guts to do a raw action movie in Tamil without any commercial compromises, except for the inclusion of a heroine. The violence is on the higher side but the story demands it and it looks completely justified.
Arya finally gets an action hero avatar and he makes most of the opportunity.
Hansika was needless in an otherwise gripping story. Scenes involving her slows down the tempo.
Music,cinematography are apt and Magilzh Thirumeni lives upto the promise that he showed in TT.
Watched maan karate in astro vellithirai just now..worst movie..intha padathuukku munnadi linga ellam theiva level..athuvum villan kitta siva vaayilaye methi vaangararu parungga..wow..watta perpamance..villan kaala pudichikittu power star renjikku"dei en pondadiya thirippi kodutudura"innu kathararu parungga.. climax semma kuuttu..hansika visil adikkaranga parungga..close upla antha mogaraya paatha neen setta...athuvum visil adichituu verala vaayila inthu edukura moment,ennamo burger sappittu virala sappi edukira mathiri..ceh..siva intha levellkukku innum rendu padam panna,palayabadi siricha pochuthan...

Now days can't stand with his comedy... Very repeatative & boring but Watch few comedy clipping from PKP with muthu kaalai really entertaining. Will watch :)Quote:

Works/not to be fixed: some comedy scenes in 2nd half, a movie you dont have to watch with the family (it has become a cliche that u have make movies that whole family can sit and enjoy), creative idea with bad word battle.
Needs to be fixed: length of the movie, screenplay with too many stupid scenes, VTV ganesh is annoying as hell, introduction scenes with childhood memories are too lenghty, bgm songs very poor, few annoying characters, esp the spoiled son who is obsessed with the heroine, police as usual corrupt and violent.
Even though movie is a dissapointment overall, the comedy parts very pretty hilarious, nonstop laugh during those scenes. The director should have worked more on the screenplay and made it less long but with more gripping.
Meagamann - a very serious action movie... konjam violent.. but I liked it a lot :)
I was surprised to see so many girls in theatre today !! If you can tolerate Hansika, the heroine portions are not so bad.. I felt it was very well made - the low profile release may be due to high violence quotient , but there are a few smile-worthy moments too ..
They still showed the old trailer of Yennai arinthal... and a new one for I
Meegaman meaning Captain (of a ship) - a powerful proof of what our directors are capable of, if they are not limited by demands of heroism. Thank god the film was not made with any top heroes, thus what we get is an uncompromised action movie. Felt like watching a hollywood movie. The only compromise was Hansika... :sigh2: but she appears for less than 20 mins. :bow:
I felt meegaman was a little slow at times outside of romance portion. Other than that it was really good. I thought Arya wasn't the best choice for the lead. Something about him as an action hero that doesn't work. It is just my opinion though.
True. Hansika being the only compromise.Quote:

Even someone like Dhanush, in spite of being puny, emotes well in such films. Example is the hospital scene in Polladhavan.

Your forecast is happeningபொங்கல் ரேசிலிருந்து விலகும் படங்கள்!
ஜனவரி 14, 2015ல் பொங்கல் சிறப்பாக அஜித்தின் ‘என்னை அறிந்தால்’, விக்ரமின் ‘ஐ’, விஷாலின் ‘ஆம்பள’, கார்த்தியின் ‘கொம்பன்’, மற்றும் சிவகார்த்திகேயனின் ‘காக்கி சட்டை’ வெளியாகும் என தகவல்கள் வெளியானது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
ஐந்து படங்கள் ரிலீஸ் ஆகும் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்ட நிலையில் தற்போது ‘என்னை அறிந்தால்’ ரிலீஸ் ஜனவரி 29 என மாற்றப்பாட்டுள்ளது.
தற்போது ‘கொம்பன்’, மற்றும் ‘காக்கி சட்டை’ உள்ளிட்ட படங்களும் பிப்ரவரியில் எனவும் மேலும் உறுதியான தேதிகள் அறிவிக்கப்படாமலும் இருந்து வருகின்றன.
http://cinema.vikatan.com/uploaded/pongal_2.jpg
இந்நிலையில் பொங்கல் ரேசில் இந்த வருடம் 'ஐ’ படமும் ‘விஷாலின் ‘ஆம்பள’ இரண்டும் மட்டுமே வெளியாகும் என இப்போதைக்கும் உறுதியாகியுள்ளது. இதற்கு ஒரே காரணம் தியேட்டர் மற்றும் ஓபனிங் டே கலெக்*ஷன் என்ற வழக்கம் தான்.
ஒருவேளை ‘ஐ’ , மற்றும் ‘என்னை அறிந்தால்’ இரண்டும் வெளியானால் சிறு படங்களுக்கு தியேட்டர்கள் கிடைப்பது அரிது, அப்படியே மற்ற படங்கள் ஒதுங்கி கொண்டாலும் இவ்விரு பெரும் படங்களும் ஓபனிங் கலெக்*ஷன் பார்ப்பதும் சற்று சிரமம் ஆகிவிடும்.
இதனால் இப்போதைக்கு பொங்கல் ரிலீஸ் ரேசில் இரு படங்கள் மட்டுமே இருக்கும் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.
Ellame mind games thaan..expected that..i told that YA will never clash with I but some fans were super confident that both biggies will clash thinking that tamil cinema has damn huge market and one man can actually go against market dynamics etc..i am quite surprised how some have changed their opinion after YA was officially postponed.. :lol2: btw ajit and vijay fans, regarding jilla vs veeram, no matter how hard you guys try..both were passed off as average in the BO..if both were released separately, things would have been different..
I disagree. As we speak Tamil film industry is evolving. As much as you may hate it, I am seeing the dying days of heroism as we know it.Quote:

Low profile movies have already entrenched in our industry and it's just a matter of time before they take the lead.
Ajay is correct nov..commercial films like TT and Meghaman needs a big hero..TT went unnoticed and now MEghaman will share the same fate..low profile offbeat films cant be compared to commercial filmsQuote:

Just mark my words on the rise of low profile movies.... :boo:
We had a clash last year and we won. The reason why YA had to be delayed is because shooting was done a few days back and the film is not ready yet. If both I and YA clash, it will affect I which needs a good run to recover the cost. I was promoted as Pongal rrlease and they preponed it for the reason that they needed an uninterupted run at least for a few days. If YA was released a few days before I, I team will be in troubleQuote:

But definitely the producers, distributors and theatre owners would be smiling all the way to the bank.
Meagamann, in spite of all these positive reviews, has not been termed as the pick of the Christmas releases by the trade. Its the Vikram Prabhu movie which has been declared the winner. A mass hero as lead would've ensured Meagamann releasing without any competition.
Makkal theerpe magesan theerppu..sarakku iruntha audinceikku pidichiruntha avangalle hit aakiduvaanga...YA vantha I ikku vettu..I vantha YA ikku vettu..muttalthana maana vaatham..superstara irunthallum ulaga nayagana irunthallum makkal rejeck pannita oru bookkum panna mudyathu..
And regarding market dynamics, nothing has changed much. Small movies, movies by Naalaiya iyakkunargal getting attention is a welcome change. But that doesnt and will not affect the business done by mass hero movies. Both are mutually exclusive.
For mass hero films, the heroes ensure that they pull the crowd to the halls for the first few days and then the WOM takes care of the sustaining. Best examples are Anjaan and Kaththi. Both films were sold out in the first weekend purely on the merits of the actors and directors. And since Kaththi got better WOM, the crowd kept coming for a while but Anjaan toppled from the immediate Monday.
