feeyaar, agree!

naanum selva voda intha comment kku thaan react pannen. btw, pallu velakkura padam is a taarchal for me!

Intha commentukku yaarum reply panna porathullannu ninaikiren. While I don't agree with Kid, I also don't understand people embracing this while projecting themselves as people who are dead against masala movies. Anyway, hub la ithellam saatharamnamappa

[Thirumaran]

Past few weeks no one here tried to Justify that it is a blockbuster material,the movie made its cost,profitable to many and loss to few here and there was the argument.. but people like you desperately attempting to give the disaster verdict is ridiculous,we have no other go other than use your own emoticons rotfl rotfl2 poke lol2 at you....there is not much different from TOIlet tabloids(at least they have a reason that they don't get the Interview from the actor) and people like you,Oru fieldworkyum pannama simple-aa flop-nnu sollidrathu.

Fieldwork like how BW or other movie collection reports guys does ? not interested, I know how to do a smart work.. Like how behindwoods / box office sites are exposed by giving super crap reports, there are few here too exposed themselves by supporting those crappines for the sake of it..

sari athellaam ethukku.. time to celebrate the real success of a well deserved movie, naan EE

That was more in the general sense. While ee is still a great innovation it is still masala and people hailing this and bashing others for doing masala is absolute nonsense.

IQ level .. Commercial movie .. Understanding ... Sabba . Mudiya

[ajithfederer]

Fair enough.

Surya movies paakuravanga ellaarukkum Sivakumar family movies maela eerppu irukkumngra understanding irukkae, mudiyala.. shabaa.. I thought u would be having some understanding on my past posts now all my comments are taken in only one sense that i am against Ajith.. All are human only right ?

Stanley, I had not seen Saguni and never had even a slightest interest in watching that movie.. and I am not a fan of Karthik.. I was bashing him several times though.. he is very much overrated in hub.. In fact my bashing on Aayiraththil oruvan is pretty famous here during that time I guess.. (now, there would be other group who would be keen in finding a reason for this too... i.e.. I dont like Karthik because, he would beat Surya some point, appadinnu oru view varum )

AF,
Is there any specific definition for Masala ? I am not clear in this regard .. If somebody tell me the story of Ee before I watched the movie , definitely i would have thought it is crap .. Even now , If Ee replaced with a Ghost , It fits into a typical Telugu masala I understood ..But here characterization and visual of Ee make the huge difference ..Everybody know what is going to happen at the end and nobody expecting story line here ,but director managed to make the audience entertained just by visuals and the portrayal of villian character (and ofcourse the actor choosen justified it ).

One side being a great fan of serious movies like Mahanathi , I am a huge fan of commercial movies like Sathileelavathi , Apoorva sakotharargal as well .. So I think there is a difference between commercial movie and masala movie ..

and on top of everything , I shouldn't have a bias since the artists invloved in this movie were not even known for me before . I saw sudeep in celebrity Cricket and Rajamouli is known to me only after my Telugu colleague shown me the trailor of Eee.

Ofcourse , I am not a follower of Hollywood movies ,so I won't compare everything with Hollywood .

AF, Red is Git2 I think

Joe adhu naan podhuva sonnadhu and i agree with everything u say. As far as i know there is no defn for masala.

Nothing too particular.

But I was interested in knowing whether Rajamouli gaaru had seen it. The fly hatching out as a prelude to BB's bottle episode (best of all time?) 'The Fly', and the whole mechanics of Fly vs Walt in the episode, the setups, like a one act play in one set-up, I initially thought it was not CG. But it is..

Mighty impressive. Actually I like the fact that in BB, there's no silly closeups of Fly's mass pose, dancing etc (rubbing of Tarsus after Walt's fall, the only exception). The initial parts of Fly hatching out is not CG (in Walt's place? The first and last shot are from his room.)

It's impressive to do this in Television.

Coming to Naan-E, I don't think it's as simple as people make out. To make a series of set-up's work purely on the psychology plane was impressive. Sudeep was impressive. The threat of the Fly seemed very real, with combination of shot-making and his acting. It is make-believe. But it was mostly make-believe without slapstick nonsense. To add CG Fly later in to the frame, would mean they had specifically storyboarded it. There's a vision and imagination in most of the shots. It's praiseworthy to my mind.

So you reject right-wing Mainstream Hollywood influence, but parade the American TV influence. You utter Yank-hating hypocrite.

[kid-glove]

Mr.Old Joe, Time for you and your buddies to update knowledge of American films and TV. To know where the idea and so-called creativity comes from.

KG-like pirate plagiarizing leech who feeds off us from outsourced IT to TV shows, should be an example to all of you.

My comment was about the inconsistency people are showing in the hub with respect to their stand on commercial/masala movies. Posts followed by Bimmer's review were just made out of emotion with a clear target. It was funny because the same junta tries to criticize fanaticism and how fans react in their respective thread when someone posts a negative review.

They are even trying to be the *fans of Naan E*. What is the difference? Naan E kku negative review vae illama irukkanuma. Or they want everyone to accept it with age old crap 'this is better than all craps - so swallow it'. You know what a film is going to be when it is a pure masala and you can judge it from a distance. If you still go and waste your time because you don't prefer them, you are a stupid. My comment was about the *overall* context and not just with this.

BTB, I would like to remind Sakala's own review for some masala films in the last few years. :P Selective Amnesia I would say. Why am I even explaining this!?
For him, anything comes from the big two is OK but when others do similar ones it is crap. IMO, I only see consistency in NOV and Bala Karthik when they review a film. At least, they are clear (Bala's views on Kamal films excluded :P )

P.S: I liked Naan E. I even liked Raja mouli's films. My comment is on how people react here.
