    balaji,
    The word most is a misnomer. Also the plays from which it was taken were written by KB. It is an adaptation not remake.

    Point taken. By remake - Movies made out of hit movies from other languages

    Movies made out of hit plays - No major value add by KB

    KBs movies generally portray Women as the better lot and will show men in poor light.
    Ex : Aval oru thodar kathai
    Avargal
    Moondru mudichu
    47 naatkal

    etc etc

    Hey u r looking at only a few films..

    Wat abt these...

    Neer kumizhi
    Server Sundaram
    Edhirneechal
    Vaaname ellai

    He makes films on social issues..

    The realization of happiness happens only after experience of pain.

    If we desire to blossom like a flower in the garden of life,
    Then we must learn the art of adjusting our life with the thorns!

    balaji,
    when U say "most" of KB's movies are remakes & list only a handful? what is your idea of "most"?

    KB has handled all topics wheeras bharthiraja has dealt only with village topics.

    Dear Balaji,
    I am poor in english writings.But pesaradhu Tamil films.So i try my best.
    In K.B. films, you see the negative side of the hero.
    Who is a hero?
    4 or 5 times fight seiyannaum? 3 duet padanaum? heroine ai villan kittae irundhu save pannanum?
    This type of hero ku dhan shame a feel pannanum.This is not the heroism.
    Neenga solra Aval oru dhodar kadhai il,
    Hero avaluku support panran.AValai understand panran.Help um panran.
    In Agni sakshi, Siva kumar is the real hero in my view.
    True a love panni, marriage seidhu .heroine trouble ku support pannrar.and save her from her surroundings.
    This is the heroism.Amma pechai matum ketpadhu heroism illai.
    K.B. shows the wrongs in all sides.
    In aVal oru Dhodar kadhai. Mum and daughter rendu perumae love to one person.
    K.B.film pakkaradhu oru thani anubavam.You will view the story through the characters and situations from all the characters in that movie.Thats why you told that it is irritaed you nu.
    Nam real life appadi thanae iruku.If we talk about one subject ,we wll get a lot of opinions from others. K.B. Shows this only in his film.I feel.
    With Love,
    Usha Sankar.

    Add arangetram to my list.


    By the way, Server sundaram is not KBs. Thats from Krishnan Panju ( if am not wrong )

    Again - Neerkumizhi , Edhirneechal - From successful stage plays with some coating from KB. Not original thinking from KB. Thats my point.

    Agreed KB has made lot of movies on social causes but the issue is that seldom he ends on a positive note or he ends with a total confusion.

    Ushaji,

    Good. One small correction, mother loving son and father loving daughter is Appoova raagangal and not ATK
    This is the heroism.Amma pechai matum ketpadhu heroism illai.
    K.B. shows the wrongs in all sides.
    In aVal oru Dhodar kadhai. Mum and daughter rendu perumae love to one person.

    Dear Sanjay,

    Agreed . Most of the BR movies are village subjects but he has also made - SIgappu rojakkal , Niram maaradha pookal , Nizalgal , Kodi parakkuthu ( ashamed to add this movie but forced to add ), vaalibamay vaa vaa ( karthik ) and a handful of city movies

    Yes but majority of BR movies are village based only but they would have had varieties not monotonous.

    BR's village subjects - variety

    Eventhough BR made lot of village subjects, they were all varieties :

    1. 16 vayathinilay - A village girl earlier in pursuit of city based Doctor reconciles and understands the reality and loves Kamal who really loved her - wonderful subject
    2. Kizakkay pogum rail - religious misbeliefs in villages was addressed
    3. Pudiyavaarpugal - Woman joining her lover after the marriage broke down
    4. Kallukkul eeram - in pursuit of a director from city
    5. alaigal oivadhillai - Village teens loving each other finally had to end up on religion based issues
    6. Vedham pudhidhu - Milestone for BR. Great movie - fighting casteism
    7. Mudhal mariyaadhai - terrific theme. An old man getting involved in love with a young woman as he could not get solace and comfort from his wife.

    etc etc
