V_S, nicely written. Unfortunately, we differ when it comes to BR. I hope you didn't read my post on him.

Thanks Nerd and grouch.

grouch,
He is my eye-opener. I know many who don't like his films. That is fine, but please share your views/post.

ரெண்டையும் கொஞ்ச நேரம் தான் பாத்தேன். அட்டைக்கத்தி அதுக்கு மேல முடியலை. மதுபானக்கடையின் பிரதி நல்லா இல்லை.

DVD quality பிரதி online-la கிடைக்குதே .. டாஸ்மாக் பார் அனுபவம் இருந்தா கண்டிப்பா பாருங்க

Jaya TV telecast on Pogal day - Dec 29,2012 ARR-Nite "ThAi MaNNE VaNakkam".

Even a layman would dismiss me with a single line as "Rahman show is everything what Raja's show is not" . Yet, I cannot help observe certain obvious difference like the "YouthO youth only " formidable presence and the conspicuous absence of pamily audience , by pamily, I mean the middle aged couple with their teen aged kids which was present in large numbers during Raja's show that happened precisely the same time during Dec 2011 at Chennai. Raja's dias wore a festive look with an ensemble of musical instruments like you name it , you see it in hordes, where as, Rahman's dias resembled a rock show with minimal electronic instruments, few guit'srs, violins, drums , a flautist. Rahman used a very sophisticated "keyboard" like player from which all kinds of sounds emnated. What is that called? The youthu audience's behaviour was in stark contrast to the predominantly perusus of Raja's where they were mostly restrained and only applauded at all deserving high points. The youthu crowd were given a free hand unlike in Raja's case and they were displaying all the "affected" behaviour of a western hard rock show, dancing, swaying, singing along aloud, hooting. Majority of the key singers were also youthu, Benny Dial, Chinmayee, Alphonso, Karthik, Naresh Iyer with few exceptions like Mano, Hariharan, Chitra. SPB was a notable absentee. Raja's show had legends like Balamuralikrishna, KJY, SPB along with new kids on the block. Rahman's cutting down on his assignment showed in his looks as he looked fresh, dashing with a Versace designer wear . Go I even need to compare with our man's simple dhothi clad presence?

My husband's cousin who had visited us during Pongal quipped in his typical PAlakkAd thamizh, "ennadhindha Rehman full prOgrammum orE medleyaa pOttuttan? oru pAttu kooda urupidiyaa pOdalaiye?" , for which my husband replied "ippidi uru theriyAma pOdarathukku pEr thaan unpluggedAkkum"

Same thoughts-nga. Actually only about 20% of the songs were 'played'. ellaamE orE maadhiri dance beats.

That instrument has an 'imaginative' name - keytar Also that harpeji wasnt tuned propery or something. So heavy on bass.

Madhubanakadai - Nice movie with powerful dialogues, especially in the climax.

Mathapadi this one was catchy "Naanga thalladuravaraikum thaan Government steady-a irukum, naanga steady aanom, Government thalladidum"

+1 pointless movie, borefest.

Na.Ko.Pa.Ka - Superb movie, take a bow! Caste, dialogues, acting - arumai!!

Dialogues ellam rotfling ....

"Ennada dye adichrukaan...vaaila vellirikka vaikum podhey yosichen"

Many instances

1. Cricket scene
2. The way Bugs explains about the "incident" to doctor
3. Nurses reactions
4. Bugs Vs Bhaji incidents
5. Yaaruku kalyanam episode, Bhaji : "indha thadava avana kothu viduda"
6. Whole reception / wedding scenes
7. Prem's mama

....and a lot, gethu padam!!

^ Yes. My favorite side character was Bugs' friend who comes to the hospital to explain about the oblangata. Terrific casting.

Yes Yes... very natural! "Mruthula...." hahaha.

i have friend exactly like that drunken madhan sir...

avar thanni pOttutu vandhuttaarnaa orae mokkai dhaan... aana yaarum vaaya thorakka mudiyaadhu... ennoda ex-boss... but a good friend of all of us friends/housemates... the same relaxed dialogue delivery... oru avasaratthukku avara dhaan koopduvom..

Haha... For me it was Bugs. en friend-Oda maama, akka purushan. Obviously a little older than us but ALWAYS used to hang around with us. naanga vaada podanu pEsumbOdhu avarai mattum vaanga pongannu exactly like how Bugs was seen amongst this group.

Welcome Sridhar

samar (Vishal / Trisha)

ok movie...that is, the part until the suspense is known...after that enakku thookkam vandhuduchchu (well, I was also tired / otRai mAlttu etc)

one time watch..,

olichchiththiram of three Vijay movies (driver limitation and Vijay is unquestionably the sumAl sildren's favourite at present)

friends (parts tolerable, rAsA effect)

vEttaikkAran (100 percent torture)

gilli (100 percent torture...actually even sildrens could not handle it and some back seat perusus switched off after the arrival of Prakash Raj)

Conclusion : mellath Thamizh inichchAkum! (I meant TF)

Thanks Brother.

Parts of 'avaL appadiththAn' on youtube:



Went there to check the title credits for lyrics. (musicalaya vinyl cover says GA wrote 'panneer pushpangaLE' but some websites credit that song to Suratha. The movie title credits do not mention Suratha at all - only GA & Kavingar).

Ended up watching many scenes

What lovely dialogs! All three (Sripriya / Kamal / Rajini) did a wonderful job in this movie! While KH-SP are very serious (ofcourse KH brand humor is thrown here and there), Rajini provided terrific humor!

Portions are worthy of repeat watches!

NKPK, finally.

Not as hillarious as expected, but definitely very entertaining. Works well like a thriller. Good job all around.
