Film / Documentary - Recently watched & worthy of some discussion

[mexicomeat]

Maari - hated the movie.

positives:
1. robo shankar and the first half had some funny scenes
2. thara local was picturised well

negatives:
1. everything else - where do i start. vijay jesudas was a complete misfit and he has no talents what so ever. it was as unfitting as watching a sambhar like gemini ganesan in a don role.

2. anirudh - he sings all his songs and now he is showing his ugly face in all movies. imagine what more he would have done if he were good looking.

3. direction - director tried to emulate aadukalam. like how the mediocre director saran used to force some setting into the movie (like mla hostel in jay-jay, bus in parthein rasithein, mess in kadhal mannan etc) the director tried to use pigeons and failed miserably.

4. unnecessary buildup - when i watch movies like "thirumalai, billa, thirupachi, sivakasi, attagasam, osthi" etc.... i usually feel very irritated with the unnecessary build up for the heroes. i hated all of the above movies. maari was no exception. given that most of the movies i have listed here were superhits, i think maari will become a hit as well.

thank god, in the end they didn't say that maari was an IPS officer in disguise.
