Hi Karthik

I reached your webpage from google, while I was trying to find the ending of this really loooong movie. I started watching the movie on the flight, and since it was sooooo long, i couldnt complete the movie before the entertainment was switched off !!!!!!!

Anyway, guess should read more of your reviews before i watch other movies. (which mostly is in the in-flight section)

Saw Varalaru – Pathetic dont watch
E – Ok tolerable … nothing exceptional about it, the story does not go anywhere and wafer thin story line is really hard to sustain.

One movie of the recent which I liked was “Sillunu oru kaadal” – really good performance.
I also watched “Mozhi” in chennai this time, really a fabulous movie.

it would be better for him if he acted very good instead of acting as a fool-spectal

i think he spoiled his image

his ideas are good but his acting in submission is hastily waste

Hey Thomas!
Welcome to karthickraghavan.com
“Kaathu Kutti” refers to a person who is still in the learning stage or can be called a novice.
Simbu or Chimbhu is talented and I don’t think he heeds to T.R.’s advice when it comes to acting and movie. This I heard from T.R. in an interview on TV.
Regarding your doubt, it depends on the viewer’s perspective. I divide movies into three categories.

1. Movies which have a strong story line. The screenplay sails along with the story and songs and fights fit in with it. Some examples are Anbae Sivam, Metti,Moonram Pirai.

2. Movies which may or may not have a strong story line and are just shot for entertainment. Some examples are Batsha,Ullaththai Allith thaa.

3. Movies which are proclaimed to have a story line (sometimes by the hero or the director) and which does not fit in to the two categories given above. A lot of movies fit into this category. Some examples are S.J.Surya’s movies, many Ajith and Vijay movies.

Now, you need to decide where Vallavan fits in this three. And by the way, you don’t have to apologise as you are free to comment unless your words are too offensive. I don’t think they are.

Great man shows his greatness by the way he treat little ma(e)n – Thomas Carlyle
I do not know why i quote this, but it flashed as i read some of the comments.
I have a doubt and i request it be clarified. Is story really essential for a film?
I don’t know what exactly “Kaathu Kutti” refers to.
One particular point was intersting to me. “any drunkard can write,sing,choreograph and record the songs …. with the help of Technological tools, this can be done by anybody if they are trained.” True, but how many of us are intersted to listen them (drunkards works)? And how long should they be trained?
Simbu may be a braggart, yet he may have some talent (at least) . I only blame Mr. (Vijaya) T.Rajendar (not sure of the spelling) for Simbu as he is now. He spoiled him, never allowing him to be himself but as little superstar.
I sincerely apologise, if i hurt somebody. Thanks

Badri!

he is a “Kaathu kutti” in my words.. right from his birth, he may in involved in cinema activities, it doesn’t mean he knows cinema… if he says so, even my milkvendors buffolos are eating cinema posters right from their birth, does it mean that it eat cinema breath cinema… etc…

I strongly think that I and you share a similar passion of watching all kind of movies. Will you believe that I watch the telugu movies dubbed in tamil. I would say that it is the audience who are made the scapegoat at the end of the day. A lot of directors make ultimate crap movies in the name of commercial cinema. I think 2004 and 2005 was even better and had a few good movies like kaadhal, Kanda naal mudhal, ponniyin selvan, Ram and a few. 2006 is the worst year for tamil cinema with films like Vallavan, Jambhavan, Sillunnu oru kaadhal, kalvani kaadhali and many.
Let’s hope that a miracle happens to tamil cinema and we start getting films like Metti, Moonram Pirai, Vaaname Ellai, Mahanadhi etc;
