Kamal-Ilayaraaja-Singeetham Rao-MUMBAI EXPRESS

[Jacky]

Njv, please don't compare Aamir with a kid like Surya. What Surya did in Pithamagan was loosely inspired from Aamir's role in Mela. Even Surya has admitted on Sun TV that to portray Sanjay Ramaswamy he looked into Aamir's character in DCH.
Vikram – first let him cut overacting (Pithamagan, Ambi – Anniyan), if he loses his pretense then we will know how good he's in expressing subtleties which is the most challenging task for a good actor. Besides He's pathetic at comedy – even Vijay was better in comedy scenes in Ghilli and Sachin.
Btw, I've watched movies from all those directors and DCH was definitely more realistic than any BR or Mani movie including Alaipayuthey.

maybe they copy-pasted for kamal and aamir ........

Nah , Maddy !
If u look closely, for Kamal they said he's the first and perhaps last....It seems like Aamir has also been recognised as an complete actor, which is gr8 ! He deserves it for some extent, than others !
So they didn't copy-paste

*, I wasn't comparing KH and Aamir. NJV felt DCH was ordinary to which i disagreed.

I still think that DCH is nothing great. I dont know why ppl go crazy abt it. May be its very close to reality type of movie for Hindi (no running around the tree, no london boy returning to india to marry a house maid, no american hero going to london to demonstrate our patriotism, no period movie, no bullshit) and thats the reason it got applauded, but for ppl who has seen many many many bharathiraja, kb, kh, rajni, mahendran, balumahendra, sivaji, manirathnam, shankar, selvaragavan and many many others, this is an ordinary movie.

njv,
DCH was a good movie...better than 90% of mani/BR movies. But, to me the best performer was akshay khanna followed by saif...
In some scenes in australia, his acting seem a bit unreal...
like someone said, his scenes with his dad were good.

Same holds good for KH-aamir comparision.No one is comparable to KH in India.Even (Inspite of their obvious bias against south-indians) many a north indian stars (Sharukh,manisha,rani,etc.. had agreed to this in their interviews).

Kalnayak,
It is more close to my heart than any Tamil movie. Ungalukku pidikalaiya Don't bother about my personal tastes. I wasn't even generalizing, was just saying my preference.

[MADDY]

jacky, even i felt the same.....it was one of its kind movie and name me one tamil movie by the gr8s like mahendran/BR/selvaraghavan similar to DCH.....mani( i know many ppl. here dunt consider him as gr8) called this as the most sensational debut directorial venture ever in indian cinema.......

DCH was such a movie where i found very difficult to relate myself to the hyper-posh south mumbai culture shown in the movie but as movie progresses i was well relating myself to the universal concept of friendship depicted in the movie......excellent subtle display of emotions which i think namma directors mutti modhinaalum kaamikka mudiyathu with our over-acting heroes.....

and reg aamir, guys just watch the scene where his attitude changes towards love in the opera hall scene....mindblowing....and just watch him in mangal pandey climax scene where he faces the entire british army....stupendous....

i think u guys must realise all hindi actors are not bad and all hindi movies are not ordinary...there are gud movies too...infact they are ahead of us in terms of scripts with movies like "maine gandhi ko nahin maara","swades","iqbal" whereas we are going down deeper with hero-worship movies like gilli,madhura,ghajini,anniyan..moreover aamiir is no sharukh to be shooed away ......

[MADDY]

We have lot better actors than him in tamil, leave alone Kamal and Rajni but you have Vikram, Surya, Dhanush to name a few.

who is dhanush??? are u talking abt rajini's son-in-law???

Indians crave for white skins. Tamilian crave for hindi skins - here is a proof.
