Having the right connections
There is this story going around in the industry - from the unit of "Budget Padmanabhan" the Prabhu starrer released sometime back. It seems when Prabhu was at Kodaikanal shooting for this film some people approached him and asked him to intercede on their behalf with the higher-ups. The roads were bad and they wanted Prabhu to do something about it. A stunned Prabhu informed them that he was not a politician and had nothing to do with politicians either. The men said that they knew it but they also knew that if he put the matter in the right ears, he would be taken seriously. Prabhu jokingly agreed to do something about the matter. In due course the matter reached the right people, and now one hears that the road-repair work is going on in right earnest. Wish more film artistes would use their image and their connections for such purposes.

Hi fans,
Anybody having the CD/DVD version of the movie "Ele My Friend". If yes, please send me the copy.
thanks & regards,
saran.

Eventhough the movie "Manasukkull Mathaappu" is a remake movie, it shows the innocent talent of Prabhu. He proved his talent and got the FilmFare Award for Best Actor.Quote:

thoothukudisaran, thanks for visiting this thread on and off. I revived it sometimes back and have not been following up.
Can anyone, who has seen Ayyan, write a thing or two about Prabhu's performance in that movie here? Thanks.
Rakesh bro, I watched A AA E EE yesterday. Prabhu sir is the only saving grace among the bunch of amateurs. :)
:D Thanks bro. Nice to hear that. NOV oorla illaiyaa? Antha thread jagajothiyaa parakkuthu?Quote:

Thanks Sarna.
As Murali-sar remarked, let's hope he doesn't become another Vijaya Kumar with so many assignments. He should continue to chose the role carefully. Heck, there are also leading roles he can do where he does not have to be young (think Muthal Mariyathai) . All his life, he has been defying the "hero rules" by playing lead roles with that weight, so he should go with the flow and chose roles that are right for his age and, well, size. Why not?
Prabhu was 8-) in Billa 2007 too
But Prabhu had some hilarious comedy in Vasool Raja too :roll:
and of course some unintentional comedy in Chandramukhi :oops:
He had natural chemistry with Ajith in Billa and was well used. The character is definitely, err, fleshier than original.
I agree on VR and CM, he could have been better used. We discussed about that already in this thread.
In CM, Prabhu did well as I argued before. It is just that the character doesnt conform to our notions of a "manly", "macho" etc. Groucho, in Manichitrathazhu, there were hints of the nagulan(prabhus character) being impotent, and neglecting of his wife as a result(part guilt, part inability), a bit of a wimp. In the whole of CM, the only one to catch the spirit of the original was Prabhu, and this despite Vasu's direction obscuring this fact, his acting revealed the hints. That is class, in my book.
Yeah, Plum. We have discussed that, as did Murali-sar also. Maybe if I had seen the original, I might be able to understand the role better and appreciate Prabhu here. But seeing Manichitrathazu may also result in me pricking P. Vasu's voodoo doll :twisted:
Indeed, groucho. In MCT, the pieces fit together. Nagulan neglects his wife. The wife has psychological issues, buys into the Nagavalli theory. And pertinently, her villain is...nagulan himself - and that fits in psychologically very well. Because Nagulan, her husband with his impotency, is the hurdle between her and her dream lover(which is again Nagulan himself but in her idealised form). So, psychologically, it fits in that she considers him the hurdle and tries to kill him. In Tamil, shifting that onus to Rajni, comes out of nowhere and doesnt buttress the multiple personality theory - there is no underlying psychological reason for her to consider Rajni's character as the hurdle between her and her lover. The real Ganga, and the Chandramukhi have absolutely no common underpinnings in common. The pieces dont fit together. You cannot appreciate that story unless you see MCT. You must see it.
Happen to watch Something Something Unakkum Enakkum 2 days ago. Really liked Prabhu's acting. A very calm acting. :cool:
Rakesh bro, try this. I'm sure u will like it. :)
Did you even watch the Tamil version? There is no scene where Jothika considers Rajini as a hurdle between her lover.Quote:

So, the kolai veri for Rajni that Jyothika must have a psychological reason - which is not explained or hinted in the movie. The only possible psychological explanation for Jyothika's targetting Rajni in her CM avatar is that Saravanan covets his friend's wife just like Vettaiyan coveted the dancer CM - obviously, that is neither hinted nor possible since Rajni is playing that role of Dr Saravanan. This is the only way Saravanan could have stood between Jyothika and her lover. Obviously, that explanattion doesnt wash so the psychological angles used are pointless and not justified in the movie.
OTOH, I would say Anniyan married the psychological symptoms and consequences relatively better though it had its own flaws.
I am not a fan of that movie but I would like to explain somethings.
Rajini would go in disguise of Vettayan and challenged her to kill him on Dhurgashtami - that is the only reason why Jothika wants to kill him. CM now thinks Rajini is Vettayan and wants to seek revenge on him.
You seem to have completely ignored this and confused with MCT.
Jothika does want to kill Prabhu who she thinks is her hurdle between her lover, but the lover here refers to Vineeth, whom CM assumes as her real lover whom was killed by Vettayan. That is shown when she tries to kill Prabhu many times.
And yes I agree the psychological terms are used very loosely and explanation in detail by means of scenes is very poor. What much can you expect from a P Vasu film? :P
Plum :shock: P.Vasu direct panna padaththula logic, continuity, justification, explaination etc ellaam edhirpaakkureenga :omg:
avatrai ellam P Vasu padathula expect pannaa 4 sins :PQuote:

jaaze, you are confusing the mundane reasons with psychological reaosns. I dont care about the external, half-baked reasons that are quoted in the movie for Jyo to go after Rajni. But if he brought in psychology, then he owed us a reasonable explanation. As I said, when you cannot justify it, you might as well have packaged it like Arundhati as mumbo jumbo. Its not as if Rajni fans would have rejected it anyway.
EKSI perhaps is the most famous unintentionally funny dialogue in the past few years. I have seen both MCT and CM and I think vasu's script was only slightly different from the original. (Prabu became a dummy and more scenes for Rajini)Script ellAm OK but Vaachu faltered big time in the execution/treatment. Very amateurish in comparison with the original.
Prabhu was OK in Ayan and BillA, terrible in all other films. SSUE ellAm mudila, bayanggara overacting :cry:
I thought he did a decent Job in SSUE; I could not stand him in VRMBBS and CM Though...Quote:

Too much. Ella scriptleyum essence is small dhaan. Adhukkaga Essenceaiye eduthuttu, minor changenu sonna eppadi?
Infact, Bhool Bhulaiya was a scene by scene remake almost of MCT still it missed the essence - watch Shiney Ahuja nurdling Vidya Balan like there were no tomorrow - again the essence of the story/concept bulldozed away. So it is not about how many scenes you retain - even the loss of 1 key shot can totally divert the derivative movie away completely from the original path. I find it uncomfortable when closeness to original is measured in terms of no. of similar scenes or shots.
Groucho.. I want to ask u one thing (or any PRabhu fan for that matter)Quote:

HR,
I agree with Thalafanz, except that he is already a producer via NT's film company, long time ago.
If this was Hollywood, by now he would be in the same company as Christopher Walken, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman or John Malkovich, the kind of supporting actors that can be seen in mainstream, high budget or low budget arthouse productions, and the kind of stars that award committees will not shy from nominating.
What to do? Like NT, he was born into the industry that does not appreciate good onscreen acting performances, and reward mediocrity and welcomes wannabes.
I am not sure why he is appearing in those films. He seemed to have enough money, seeing that his dad's film company is doing well. Is he still enthusiastic about acting? Not sure, if not why do one film too many? Maybe he is just a nice guy, like how his father went on obliging to many filmmakers and end up doing crappos.
There is still more to him that need to be explored. He can never be NT. But he can still be different than NT. Looking at the kind of talents flourishing now, I feel he had been terribly overlooked as an artist, woefully underused as an onscreen performer, and underrated as a serious actor.
Ithukku meela enna sollurathunu theriyila :(
Groucho, I can feel :)

Did anyone find MCT / CM's story similar to Hitchcock's Vertigo or is it only me? :huh:
Vertigo's story:
A cop is asked to investigate the strange behaviour of his old friend's wife, who is possessed by her dead grandmother's spirit.
The two movies are entirely different in plot, execution, acting etc but the basic premise is one and the same.
Just noticed that Gounder-Crazy Mohan combo has made several movies and most of these are Prabhu starrers:-
Vietnam Veedu, Chinna Vathiyaar(Plasafy), Thedinen Vandhadhu, Indhian
Indhian-la yEdhu Prabhu ?
And dialogues were by Sujatha. Perhaps Crazy would have worked with GM for the comedy portions.
I don't think Groucho & TF understood what I meant.. let me comeback once the upcoming Barath's movie get released (Thambikku indha ooru)
