'chinna thambi', as app_eng, said broke all records. I saw the Telugu version of it titled 'Chanti' which also had a great run at the BO and the songs were a big hit.

(Unfortunately this was probably one of the worst movie I have ever seen!!! Especially the climax.)

This guy has nailed it in this review: http://lolluexpress.com/chinna.htm
The lack of good movies in that period is probably why CT became a major hit.

Mani was trying take TF forward by doing Mouna Ragam, Nayakan, Agni Natchaththiram, Anjali etc... Thanks to P.Vasu, in one film he takes TF 20years backwards... What an achievement!! Hats off to you sir!!

Exactly. I was dragged screaming to watch this movie (I already knew the story). I wish Prabhu was remembered for Aruvadai nAl, a similar character.

app, good analysis on the "innocent" types of roles. NT in PadikAtha methai, bAgapirivinai, first half of Raman Ettanai Raman (you have to read Saradha madam's post on it, check out the first page of NT's thread).

Suresh, not to mention "Anari", which made a shooting star out of Victory Venkatesh in Bollywood and (Karizma Gafoor) made me appreciate the talents of Khushboo. The success of this led Venky to remake Luckyman in Hindi, and come back with tail between legs.

Thread name rumba naalaa 'Puthu Puthu Arthangal' leye nikkarathu. Fast forward pls

IIRC Little brother was remade in Hindi as well? With Venkatesh in the lead?

**groucho070** · 2nd April 2012, 03:20 PM

Remade. I wonder how was V-man's performance

No way near Prabhu's performance

As suresh said, first came Chanti. With the stupendous success of it, then came Anari. Then came Taqdeerwala(lucky man for you unindian fellas who don't know and don't care about indhi). Actually, it isn't fair to say luckyman, as the latter itself was a remake of a telugu movie.
