It's a pity that I haven't watched avaL app prior to my Palakkad days - could have replied all those fellows who ridiculed TF to first watch this and then talk about the mahAthmiyangaL of MF.

Mullum Malarum and Udhirip pookkaL will not. I thought they were good and :? respectively. A revisit to the latter is way overdue.
Moondram PiRai and MM - are again good but not all-time great/flawless films IMO: eg. Silk Smitha and Sivaji hypertwitching in the climax.
BM's Veedu is an all-time great film.
BM: Veedu
BR: 16 VayadhinilE
NR: Nayagan
KH: Hey Ram
KB: Nizhal NijamAgiradhu
SB (:P): Mahanadhi
Apart from MM and UP I have not watched any Mahendran film fully.
One had Suhasini in it - so I am justified in skipping it.
One had Sarathbabu and Rajesh fisticuff'ing over Radhika - which I found quite imaginative. But could never watch the film to the end.

I kind of agree with your taste most of the times. But I was really shocked that you did not consider udhirippookkal as one of all time great in tamil movies. Please watch it one more time and let me know your thoughts on it.Quote:

In any case, tastes differ and "the audience" seemed to have enjoyed NK - I think it was a silver jubilee or 300 day runner those days. IMO, it's not really a "louu story" - it's more like a light hearted commentary on human nature. (The statement that MR got mildly inspired for his MR is also not totally incorrect)
I meant only me :-)Quote:
