Tamil film titles

[prashanth12]

Ridicule Titles = name of the hero character :
Red, Kokki, Malayur Mamatiyan, Komberi Mookan, Ji, Jaggu Bhai, Citizen, Vasool Raja MBBS, Padayappa ...

Agree.
Most unimaginative titles: hero's name, an animal's name, or a single english word.

chinna thambi

Another interesting thing about titles is "sentimentu".

As chinnathambi was a huge hit, they started naming many Prabhu movies as "chinnaxxxx" (chinna jameen, chinnavar, chinna maapLE etc).

The worst case of such superstitiion is the Thamizh rendering of "thanikkAttu rAjA". It was "தனி காட்டு ராஜா" with no "க்", to make the count of letters not 8. (8 is considered nattam / nashtam by farmer / biz community in TN. I have seen villagers counting the grains in measures like "lAbam, reNdu, moonu, nAlu, anju, ARu, Ezhu, Ezharai, ombOthu" )

Note: West is no holy cow in this aspect either, Boeing does not have seat number 13 in flights

Minor correction on the seat number 13 on flights

It seems the problem is with Airlines (and may not be Boeing). I have seen #13 seat in Airbus & Embraer flights but not on Boeings...it's probably a coincidence.

One of the most irritating movie titles ever in TF - billA

Unfortunately, this enjoyed a repeat and there may be another as well - corruption beyond redemption!

(For those who don't know history, Billa was a child-molester / murderer in Delhi and was given capital punishment. One heartless TF producer glorified that brute's name by sticking it to Rajinikanth. Another producer happily followed up, attaching his associate's name also to Rajinikanth - Ranga, Billa's accomplice brute who also met with the same punishment...that way, two of the ugliest criminals in Indian history were glorified by TN movie fellows)

More stupidity around that billA name was this huge, huge popular song 'my name is billA', sung by all impressionable youth of TN

How many responsible / good characters of history had similar publicity in TF / TF songs?

And we complain about corrupt society / politicians etc...அயோக்கியனுக்கு மகத்துவம் கொடுத்தால் சமுதாயம் எப்படி விளங்குமாம்?
