Eega / நான் ஈ - Nani - Santhanam - Sudeep - Samantha - S.S.Rajamouli

That was more in the general sense. While ee is still a great innovation it is still masala and people hailing this and bashing others for doing masala is absolute nonsense.

AF,
Is there any specific definition for Masala ? I am not clear in this regard .. If somebody tell me the story of Ee before I watched the movie , definitely i would have thought it is crap .. Even now , If Ee replaced with a Ghost , It fits into a typical Telugu masala I understood ..But here characterization and visual of Ee make the huge difference ..Everybody know what is going to happen at the end and nobody expecting story line here ,but director managed to make the audience entertained just by visuals and the portrayal of villian character (and ofcourse the actor choosen justified it ).

One side being a great fan of serious movies like Mahanathi , I am a huge fan of commercial movies like Sathileelavathi , Apoorva sakotharargal as well .. So I think there is a difference between commercial movie and masala movie ..

and on top of everything , I shouldn't have a bias since the artists invloved in this movie were not even known for me before . I saw sudeep in celebrity Cricket and Rajamouli is known to me only after my Telugu colleague shown me the trailor of Eee.

Ofcourse , I am not a follower of Hollywood movies ,so I won't compare everything with Hollywood .
