Critics and confusions

[jaiganes]

Lets use this thread to critically analyse whatever happens in the name of criticism of thamizh films.
This is my take on Varanam Aayiram.

Nerd has mentioned that he finds the movie as 'half baked' and my views on VA are too glorifying.
In my opinion VA is a film, though 'distant' to me because of the demographic it portrays in the movie (urban malayalee family in madras), is still an honest movie while endhiran is a scifi subverted to aachi masala in the crudest form possible. hence I appreciate Vaaranam Aayiram though I cannot accept some points shown in the movie.
Stepping aside from specific movies, lets pull all examples of bad criticism and put it here..[/quote]

How much does the hardwork put behind the movie be considered while weighing the output! Can it be considered at all? For eg., MMKR might(should) had been done relatively easier than dasavatharam - but how much can it help dasa to compete with MMKR?

In endhiran's case does using story boards have any value at all for the person who just watches the output...

I wont discard hardwork of any film. For me Hard work shud be respected without doubt.

If a movie is too big budget, big director, music director and a super cast, i look for 2 things

1. Entertainment Quotient
2. Originality
3. Logic ( not at all places, but important pivotal scenes)

oruthan senthil maadhiri kaakaa ootaamaa hard work panni appalathukku Otta potutu irundhannu veyyunga..??

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

you mean trying taking the ocean waters spoon by spoon and filling it in a near by 10 x 10 PaLLam?!?

No. but, in enthiran, we dont know where and what but i respect any hardwork done by anobody in the world. and i dont allow that to mix with the final opinion, review

what effect the movie's onscreen content made on me is what matters for me.

For the record:

Nobody was saying Enthiran should be appreciated for the *hard work*. I for one was appreciating Shankar's vision which made the job of other technicians easier. Don't twist my (our) words.

ஒற்றுமை --> அனைவரும் அறிந்ததே
வேற்றுமை --> சாரு ஓசியாக எந்திரன் பார்த்திருப்பார், நம்ம ஜெய், $18 செலவழித்து படம் பார்த்து வெதும்பி பொயிருக்கார்.

தயக்கமேயில்லாமல் சொல்லலாம், பாராட்டலாம். எந்திரனுக்கு பின்னால் பலரது பல நாள் கடும் உழைப்பு ஷங்கர் என்பவரின் ஆளுமையில், தலைமையில் நடந்தேறியிருக்கிறது. உலகமே ரோபோ படங்கள் எடுத்து தேர்ந்திருந்தாலும், இந்த கன்னி முயற்சி நிச்சயம் சிலாகிக்க வேண்டிய ஒன்று.
