Yep there was a belief that YA will release right on Pongal when teaser released on Dec 4 with news that 1st editing in process and only a week of patch work is left to complete. But shoot continued till last week of Dec and there is a delay in Audio release and movie is yet to be censored. Considering all these we can assume that last schedule is main reason for postponement.
But they would have definitely considered clash and market divisions.
To me Clash between biggies is not good for TFI anytime.I had this same position when there was touted clash between Kaththi and I too.
Please. See:
Postponing release doesn't mean fear. After all it is just business.
I personally expected YA during pongal even 1 week before or after would have been good.
I have already planned my leaves during that time.[emoji20]
Nevertheless I can enjoy I and Ambala
So 2005 Bollywood recycled material !! But for Damil Audiences this is New ya I agree !! It is "OK" Movie,Quote:

Pisasu - tribute to ghosts
A very good movie about ghosts, in this year that has been dominated by ghost movies. I used to wonder what if Mysskin made a movie about ghosts, how scary it would be like, but i didnt expect a reverse take on ghost movies. The cast is very good, Naga, Prayaga and Radharavi are convincing in their roles. As usual silence speaks more in his movies than sounds, and the camera work is great as usual in Mysskin movies. A major pillar of the movie is BGM and the song sung by Uthara (unni krishnans daughter) by Arrol Correlli. Esp the violin solo in climax was very touching.
superb explanation..Quote:

Really, is BO our concern? As an audience, I am only concerned about the quality of each movie. Let the producers and distributors worry about BO.Quote:

None of the BO figures are reliable and depends entirely on who is reporting them.
This is EXACTLY why I don't want any of the current top heroes to do these kind of movies.Quote:
Yes, we may see only those mass heroes on screen and not Selvam, the driver or Shiva, the undercover agent.
Let's take an example - Sivaji, the best actor then and forever.
Sivaji in the late 60s was already an established super-star, but guess what... when he acted in a movie, you don't see him but only the character. The best example is Gouravam - he plays dual role - you do not see two Sivajis. What you see are two Barristers - it was a movie about these two characters. The mind boggles to recall that basically it was just a Sivaji vs Sivaji show!
This, I find lacking in all current top heroes.
A lot has changed.Quote:

Bollywood itself running in Tamil /Telugu remakes...
Explain the BO of Kochadaiyan and Linga, in spite of the presence of huge stars like Rajni and ARR. 8-)Quote:

Otherwise, small movies would have got released quite often compared to regular movies.
Having said that, no one can save a bad movie. But a good movie can be lifted to great heights. Had someone else acted in Gowravam, I don't think it would have achieved the same BO success.
P:s: Shivaji showing as a character in his movies is a very subjective opinion. You can say he was better than others.

Fate of hub...people who claims himself ajith or vijay fan unwantedly pull down vijay/ajith in their post....genuine vijay/ajith fans react to tat and fight starts....this becomes regular in hub
Wat I feel is people who starting it should be a fan of some other actors(not vj/aj)who enjoys people bashing and trolling vj/aj
Just watched Kayal Online( HD quality thru Tentkotta.com) in my home theater..
Stunning Visuals, Nice Music, Engaging screenplay(second half little dragging) made this movie a memorable watch!!
Mahen... Ascaar played it when YA announced for pongal by releasing a promo with all multiplex screens... But even after that YA team proceeded with their plans as teaser and single release... some theaters and Ayngaran have confirmed about pongal release multiple times... But when YA shooting didn't complete on time they stepped back... On the other hand big budgeted Ai completed two months back and waiting for release... They need a good number of screens and fine run to book profits... They are using this chance...Quote:

Then I backed out of Pongal race and preponed the release date ;). While YA was not finished yet so had to be delayed. According to the logic of logiclist, they should have released the portions that are ready on pongal day and the rest on Jan 29 :pQuote:

Hope vinmeen HD bring more 80's & 90's movie mastering 5.1 channel sound :thumbsup:
Watching Hari's Poojai. Truly a mindblowing experience, I say!
Hari brings in every single cliched sequence from TFI, multiplies its effect by a 100 and makes a movie out of it. Lets take an example. We've seen movies in which a supporting character, or say 2 or 3 characters get introduced in a single scene. Hari makes it a dozen.
The stuntmen hit by a mass hero usually fly few feet vertically or horizontally eventually hitting a cart or a nearby vehicle, damaging its windshield. But those who get kicked by Vishal in Poojai not only do all the afore-mentioned acrobatics but also fall down, then bounce up, only to be kicked,carried or collected by him again. There are some scenes in which Vishal even rotates in the air, looking like a whirlwind, making Singampola from Dhool look believable. whoa!
They have paid a tribute to Kamal by introducing Shruthi Hassan with 'Kallai Mattum Kandal' played as her wake-up alarm. In TFI there is a vazhakkam. If Sivaji's name is mentioned or if he is credited/praised or if his name/movie is used, it must be immediately followed by a reference to MGR. Illena saami kanna kuthum. But the vice-versa is not always applicable. Thats why upright cops are compared with not only Thangappadhakkam Sivaji but also the not-as-famous-as-TP 'En Kadamai' MGR too. The same tradition applies to Kamal and Rajini. So the scene which follows Shruthi's intro is Suri's intro - we see him dance to Rajini's Adhiradi Karan.
Whenever Shruthi is shown, Kallai Mattum Kandal BGM is played. I was wondering why the music is getting so repetitive. Then came the shock - The first duet featuring the lead pair has the same tune as Kallai Mattum Kandal and it was this music which was played as BGM. Yaaruppa meesikki?
2 places where director has done something differently.
1) The gutty director has used Andrea for an item(?) song, which only works against the purpose of adding oomph to a kuthu.
2) About a decade back we saw some heroes working 24X7 to help lovers show middle finger to their parents and elope. Probably post-Nadodigal, they listen patiently to hero's advice about parents's sacrifices and get back home happily. Families are so important for Hari!
I've reached only the interval block. I think I saw Puratchi Thamizhan among the crowd...Yes - the one who asked "Ivanga Drums vasikka namma Bums dhaan kedachidha?" From what I saw till now Pandi,Google Earth and Raghuvaran's close-up photo have been given more screen time than Sathyaraj.
Hope the 2nd half is equally entertaining :-)
God - Save is from Shruthi Hassan Please. She can be our next Disco Shanti or Jyoti Lakshmi

oh...Shruthi in the range of Disco Shanthi and Jyothi Lakshmi? what about Silk Smitha?
hope Shruthi concentrates and exhibits her acting skills too while being glamourous parallelly
