Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

[HonestRaj]

you will take more days to complete that movie post interval......... it's so yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawny......... i was so tempted to watch that film after that motivational song "thaayillamal naanillai" that used to get telecasted many times in oliyum oliyum those days and the classic amma endral anbu

completed...

Adimaipenn
- title story ends by the first hour.. but the film runs for nearly 3 hrs
- MGR tries to give a brammandamana film & he succeeds in some scenes.. there is a fight with lion at the end.. twists in screenplay to bring 2nd jayalalitha... & 1st jayalalitha comes in kavarchi dress for most of the film... all these should have been a treat for MGR fans who watched it in big screen
- when i see today, its a big bore & the acting is amateurish.. Asokan tops the list of caricature acting
- usually MGR has Nagesh as his side-kick.. surprisingly here there is Chandrababu & for later part Cho comes in
- Music by KVM.. some well known songs are there.. "thaayillamal naanillai" (TMS) / written by Aalangudi somu & "aayiram nilave vaa" (SPB) / written by Pulamaipiththan.. & one more song "yemaradhe yematradhe"

- all said, i'm reducing the expectations about MGR's classics.. but i will be watching all those missed films like Nadodi Mannan, maduraiyai meetta sundarapandian etc. & planning to see some Sivaji films also... thanks to youtube

- IMO, i can see a similarity between MGR & Rajini films, Sivaji & Kamal films.. in the 1st set: instant hit.. but when i see later it is not so interesting except for some films & few scenes even in their greatest hits.... where as the 2nd set: may or may not be hit initially, but when i see now, i'm noticing much detail in the making of their films.. for example, on Good Friday, some channel was showing Gnana oLi.. i saw just one shot Sivaji in a white & white suit wearing a cooling glass walking on a bridge & he carries a gift for his daughter.. followed by major sundarrajan.. the way Sivaji walking .. truly amazing..
