Film Review:''Kannukkul Nilavu''
A TREMENDOUS comeback vehicle for Vijay, wherein he portrays an entire gamut of emotions, Fassil's ``Kannukkul Nilavu'' makes you sit up right from the first scene. And your posture doesn't change till the intermission.
It is not an easy character to envisage or present. Kudos to Fassil and Vijay. The latter projects the role with all its nuances, confusions, expressions and reactions with the right amount of underplay that the role requires. The youngster's potential has been utilised well by Fassil.
Chintamani Cine Arts' ``Kannukkul Nilavu'' is a different story from the ``Kadhalukku Mariyadhai'' team. Shalini's is once again a flawless performance and she achieves it without overdoing things at any point. Raghuvaran is his natural, efficient self. Srividya, `Thalaivaasal' Vijay, Charlie and Dhamu are the other notable performers.
The screenplay keeps you guessing at every turn. But if the climax had been less protracted, the film would have been more enjoyable. A chase in the climax need not be an essential element for a film of this calibre.
Subtlety in scenic presentation and characterisation, suspense without melodrama and spontaneity in reactions (namely, the scene in which Srividya slaps Vijay for going away without telling him) add to the pluses of ``Kannukkul Nilavu.''
The house decor is so predictable in Fassil's movies. The woodwork, the staircase, the furniture - these can take on a different look too, can they not?
Anandakuttan's camera work that allows you to relax and feast on the lush locales, is a significant feature.
Another indisputable highlight is of course, Ilaiyaraja.
``Oru Naal Orukanavu'' by Anuradha Sriram and Jesudas where the excellent beats and melody make a fiesta, ``Roja Poonthotam'' by Unni Krishnan and Anuradha Sriram and ``Iravu Pagalai'' sung by Jesudas which is bound to keep the listener humming it for long, are among the irresistible numbers.
But the crowning glory is the re-recording - the melody that gently falls on your ears and soothens your mind just before the interval and the soul- stirring notes in the last scene are splendid.
Yet another well-made film from Fassil.

Vijay beats rajnikanth!
The opinion poll conducted by the students of Loyola College to determine the most popular film actor in Tamil Nadu came out a surprise for many. The superstar of Kollywood, Rajnikanth and one of the highest paid actors in India took the fourth position. The all time favorite and number one position was bagged by the late Chief Minister of
Tamil Nadu and actor M.G. Ramachandran popularly known as MGR. the second spot went to thespian Sivaji Ganesan. Interestingly, the third place was bagged by Vijay pushing behind Rajni to the fourth position. Looks like Rajni position deteriorated this year as he had topped the list last year.
The most popular among the actresses was Saroja Devi followed by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha. K.R. Vijaya and Jyothika bagged the third and fourth position respectively. Kushboo, the favorite among the actress, took the fifth position.

When Vijay's 2007 Pongal Winner ruled the box office!!!!!!!!!!
Pokkiri: The film, released for Pongal 2007, turned out to be Vijay¡¯s biggest hit. Remake of a Telugu film, director Prabhu Deva packaged it in such a way that it suited the taste of Tamil audiences who danced to the hit tunes of Mani Sharma.
The on-screen chemistry between Vijay and Asin was great and the film turned out to be the highest grossing Tamil film in Kerala.
It did extraordinary business across A, B and C stations in Tamil Nadu and also overseas. It established Vijay as the most saleable star after Rajnikant. The trade says it¡¯s the most profitable movie of the year.Box-office verdict: Blockbuster http://www.hindu.com/fr/2007/12/28/s...2850050100.htm
The famous Hindu Survey in 2002
A 29 year old actor sits right behind the Superstar in the favourite hero category. That is pretty damn significant.
