Latest News on Tamil Cinema

[CEDYBLUE]

Selva Ragavan has great ideas, often writes them out into wonderful scripts but as he starts shooting the script into a movie, he tries to value add and end-up deviating. The premises for AO was great, the ideas were good, the story was decent, but the movie lacked coherence and ended up as a boring/slow venture.

His Mayyakam Enna was average at best and it only looked like a modern-day rehearsh of Kadhal Konden/7G Rainbow colony.

Irandam Ulagam presented a confused concept, presented in a confused manner and directed by a confused director.

He doesn't stick to one script is well known, the other painstaking thing is the time he takes to complete a movie which often offshoots the budget.

Then he comes out and blames the sad/saturated nature of the Tamil Industry

As Vinod quite rightly pointed out, he is neither a people's favourite nor a critic's delight.

No questioning his intellect or talent, but sometimes lack of discipline and consistency suppresses superior talent.

Director's Ram's speech also spews of poor sportsmanship. I mean, he has every right to say what he wants to anywhere, but walking on stage to collect his award and then criticising the panel of partiality is just pure hypocrisy.

After a really promising Katradhu Tamizh where his story/direction and casting was spot-on, his second venture had a good story, but the direction/casting was poor, especially the choice of the child's dad.

The likes of Bala and Ameer atleast seem to accept defeat a lot gracefully, unlike the likes of Selva and Ram.
