Veyil,
Paruthiveeran and
Katradhu Thamizh." Ah, such lack of hindsight is appalling to say the least.
Yeah, but when we make a "Hey! Raam" or "Iruvar" !?

But anyday, "Oscar" rules over any award from this country!

Hindsight was the keyword. When Vasanthabalan goes to Cannes (god bless him, I am not miffed at all), there's a lot of talk as if we have made nothing like this before.
Of course, I find the oh-we-keep-churning-classics-but-America-just-doesn't-listen even more silly (much, much sillier) in comparison. Thangar Bachchaan in all seriousness says in one of his interviews that he has sent his Pallikkoodam to Cannes, and he expects a major award! (He did say 'best film' or something to that effect.)

The point is, the lack of voice and reason. Except for a few quality reviewers, we have no good evaulation in place. We also have a very gullible audience who would end up thinking of "Tamil MA" in the same vein of a "Taxi driver" without seein' 'em or dissecting 'em!

My only advice to Thangar would be, "Hey, Confidence ellAm nallA thAn irukku, unmaiyAve kooda nambunga, paravA illai. manasula Ayiram AsaigaL irukkum, but just don't tell anyone, least of all in a TV show!"

On that note, Thilak, here's the review of "No Smoking" at The Hindu. No prizes for guessing whose review it could be! Mind-numbingly stupid.

(I'm such a masochist when it comes to reading the Hindu reviews, although it's a matter of principle in avoiding this particular writer's junk 'diarrhea')
On my favorites..
this and another mini-writeup here..
Now we're ! As for such 'voices', they are very less in number.
