Digression -
ANYONE from Bangalore interested (and training for) in the May 15th International Marathon run in Bangalore ?
let me know - maybe TFMDFers can meet up and run in a group -
Very good analysis by e.Hari. I have also wondered about Kamal's fixation for car chases
IMO, the comedy standard of MEx is far superior when compared to Avvai Shanmugi. Many scenes of Avvai were "mugam suLikka vaikkira" type . Now Kamal should take the high road of giving decent comedy flicks like MEx, play his age if at all he continues to act, improve and work more on the characterization of heroines instead of just showing them as props, completely do away with intimate scenes with the heroines. Kamal should remember such scenes do not reflect our cultural ethos and hence will not go down well with the mass.
The movie is doing quite well.
Sify for all its bias on Rajni,said ME "slipping" for the second weekend, then had to rollback its words;said "surprise comback" for third weekend and says "Has bounced back" for the last weekend.This is just an indication about how MEs' collections made them eat their words.

In bangalore,CM and ME were released in close to 10 theatres and now Cm is running in 4 and ME in 2 theatres.we can't expect them to do business for more than 4 weeks in bangalore.

Bangaloreans, please write which theatres will show Mumbai Express Tamil version this weekend. Last weekend, tickets were not available at PVR multiplex. I desperately want to watch it. Thanks.
DIGRESSION:
tmrmmt/madhan,
I have opened a separate thread on Bangalore Marathon in miscellaneous section. We can discus this on that thread and coordinate, if we are running in a group.
END - DIGRESSION:
Kamal has at last tied up with Jaya TV to launch a prize contest for viewers of MEX. there is gonna be 1000 persons chosen and a special train to chennai from Kanyakumari. Anyone knows more on the contest?

Sex is definitely not an anathema provided it is portrayed in an aesthetic, deft manner.
But I can vouch for our Tamil film makers TODAY and sadly that
includes Kamal too that they just cannot hamdle sex
[courtesy Boys, New to name a few. Why?
Kamal's AaLavandhaan,Heyram had few unwarranted scenes
which were bordering on crudity. Even some of the 70's films like Marupiravi(dealing with oedipus complex),
Arangetram, Sila NerangalilSilaManidhargal,
AvalAppadithaan were refreshingly mature and sensitive.
If at all Kamal insists on depicting sex,
he can take cue from his worthy predecessors
I agree with you regarding TFM using sex to sell their movies and doing it in a crude form, though what is crude for you/me may not be so for someone else. Also, the reason i mentioned Kalidasa was not to degrade him or his works but to elicit the point that love scenes are very much part of the Indian ethos. And DR showing it in his films may be considered crude by some, but it is incorrect to say it is not part of our cultural ethos. Bigamy existed in our culture - Murugan with Valli and Deivanai. As is very often quoted (sometime inappropriately, IMO) ours is the land of the famous KS.Quote:

I would say the movies/serials showing women as pawns or mere objects of sexual liberation in the name of making "bold" movies, movies endorsing/condoning dowries are more sexually retrograde. Not to mention the vulgar dialogues, gyrations and dance steps escaping the selective and bureaucratic scissors of our esteemed censor board!
I'm sure you'll agree with me at least on the last two points.
