Ithukku thaan appove sonnen.... don't mess with 'young general'...
And...In 100 years some vella kara dorai will literally translate this song lol...

People like satyaraj will say by writing this song our ilaya thalapathi has kept history and kannadasn in minds of youth...

But now that the song is in a vijay film I can believe some one is out to defame the cholas :)

And venkat: he is implying that kannadasan songs are either slippery or a pin in the neck :)

Oru vijay paatukulla evalo matter.... makkal in depth analysis panna matengranga...

Our knolwdge is truly lost ;)

Oh God - that Karikalan song!

Who in their right mind compares a heroine's tresses to Karikalan's (burnt)
leg???!!! I swear, I did a double-take when I first heard it. And yes, VA
mentioned in an interview that he wanted something "literary." The horrible
part s, they seriously do think they're revolutionizing tamil cinema. Or
kavidhai, at any rate.

Grroooaaan.

Sri,

Quite a few, actually - but I haven't made up my mind as to who, or how
many, :).

One pet peeve I have is using historical story titles for ordinary rom-com
movies. :(

I didn't know there was a line on Thillayadi Valliamai like that..how rude and disrespectful.. the overwhelming sarcasm and cheap taste taking over thte general public in TN is really very hard to explain... I remember watching nearly the last movie screening of AVM's classic Avvaiyar while i was in 5th grade. They had to stop the movie after interval due to audience cat calls and bad behavior.

My mother and I watched an equally old classic Sampoorna Ramayanam much later in Bangalore (with Sivaji as Bharatan and NTR as Sri Rama). Not one person in the audience stirred and you could actually see people nod to the music.

The overwhelming 'nakkal' and sarcasm among TN audience particularly around history or mythology is largely due to DK influence I think -and impacted their own movies as well.Even after 70s it became impossible to enjoy a historical classic in theatres, including fictional ones like Sivaji's Manohara.

Amen to that Malathi.

As long as people do not have that influence they are good, I had seen Avvaiyar with my 10 year old and she was totally involved in the movie, I could not believe it but yes she was very keenly into the movie!!!

The side to that, my daughter sat thru the entire movie 'Sabapathy' and enjoyed it.

Clearly its how the people get to see things as they grow up. The influence factor has played a very important part in our past.

Be it movies, caste or religion!

Thank you I can guess where this might be heading but that would be an interesting venture as well
