indha madhiri oru sila dialogue irukku.. padam muzhuvadhum ippadi illai..

i was impressed by the lazy act of comedian T. S. Durairaj...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._S._Durairaj

there is a flaw in the movie..
titles are shown at the start itself giving the names of actors & the characters they play... MGR has 3 characters & they list all 3..
3rd character is actually a twist in the screenplay

right...Dialogues were better in Manthiri Kumari!

And this film was based on Namakkal Kavingnar's Novel/puthinam, which was even prescribed as a Non-detailed text it seems, in schools/colleges. Must have been a widely read story, and the producer must have thought since this is a well known story, he could have the titles like that!

MalaikkaLLan was MGR's "Super star" moment!

Just like "malaikkaLLan" there was another excellent thriller which could have been made even better with some slick editing - "Maragatham [aka] karunguiyil kunRathuk kolai"

+ Karthi's comic timing...& he emotes well too..when his sister gets kidnapped and brother-in-law is wounded

Yes..Paruthiveeran karthi apo apo gnapagam vanthitchu

saw "Death Wish I & II"
- the actual twist is... "nan sigappu manidhan" is copied from these 2 film (part I & II)... major portions are copied & changed to suit our audience... the story & few scenes are same...

HR, Death Wish was first remade in Hindi as Aaj Ki Awaaz (1984) starring Raj Babbar and Smita Patil. The Hindi movie was remade as NSM by SAC.

Yes..Paruthiveeran karthi apo apo gnapagam vanthitchu

Yeah that crying scene was quite natural. I somehow felt bad for him. When an actor with absolutely no skills like Arya gets to act in movies with good scripts, why is Karthi's talent not utilized? Or how on earth is his script selection so poor? With continuous failures, its very tough for him now to be back to where he was post-Siruthai.

rajini summa non stop'ah hindi padangalai remake adichu thallirukkaru..

[hattori_hanzo]

yes, and the same SAC's Sattam Oru Iruttarai was remade as Andha Kanoon in Hindi. That was Rajini's bollywood debut...followed by Gangwa, remake of Malayoor Mambattiyan.

[hattori_hanzo]

Yes

mappi, have you seen Hitchcock's Rebecca. I found the last scene where the protagonist reveals his secret very similar to Pudhiya Paravai's plot.

Jilla ... indha padatha oruthadavaiku mela paakura jeevangal ellam dheiva machans...

Over all this pongal was more like Aadhi vs Paramasivan ...

But at least Veeram had good first half ...
