Pun on Narendra Modi,villian-a, :shabba:

Iruvar should have been made in Hindi with all the freedom that Mani would have wanted to film the movie........ It was a great theme, he had the best things in his disposal, one thing that was not there was the degree of freedom that such a script demands...

Pun on Narendra Modi,villian-a, :shabba:

No, he's not the villain. In the climax, 'Lodi' starts some development project in Gujarat and seeks Ramachandran (Suriya's dad)'s help, without knowing the secrets behind Ramachandran's success.

BR on Iruvar movie (என்னவொரு புரிதலோ?)

http://www.india-seminar.com/2004/53...j%20rangan.htm

இவரைப் போய் எப்படி சிறந்த விமர்சகர்னு ஊர் சொல்லுது?

மன்னிக்கவும்.. மணியின் படங்களில் இருவரைப் பொறுத்தவரை என் நிலைப்பாடு முதல் முறை பார்த்தபோதும் சரி, மீண்டும் பல முறை பார்த்த போதும் மாறவேயில்லை. இசை, ஒளிப்பதிவு எல்லா மேட்டரும் சிறப்பா நல்லாத்தான் இருக்கு. ஆனால் திரைக்கதை-வசனம்-இயக்கம் என ஒட்டுமொத்தவைகளிலும் மணி சொதப்பிய ஒரு படமாக பார்க்கிறேன்.

Iruvar half-baked in what sense? Its not a political movie. The movie does not deal with Dravidian politics and its ideologies. Its about two people, their friendship, their love life and most importantly their struggle for power. All other political characters etc are just used as a milieu. If not for anything else, the movie is a must-watch for Mohan Lal and AR Rahman.

Correct !!

Talaash

The film switches into various sub genres of thriller - psychological,investigation and one more, which cannot be revealed since its a spoiler. The credits start with the late night life of Mumbai and prepares us for a journey into the other side of the colorful city. The film travels in its own pace only to unfold beautifully later on.

This is not a life time role for Aamir. For an actor of his calibre, the role of Surjan is just a cakewalk. The leading ladies have better roles to play. So does Siddiqui, who grabbed attention in Kahaani. Dialogues by Farhan Akthar and additional dialogues by Anurag Kashyap (I could pick out his contributions easily).

Talaash may not appeal to the masses like 3I or Ghajini, given its pace. But it is recommended for its dark theme and the suspense factor. For me, it is the best bollywood film of this year.
