Ratings

I had a concern about the rating I give to the movies,even some of m y friends also have.For instance My friend asked me why I gave equal weightage for Pollathavan and Kannamoochi Enada! I feel that was a mistake on my evaluation .Some movies were over valued and some are undervalued.I don’t give much importance to commercial success to the movie as it carries no sense for a viewer like me.I give due importance to substance of the movie.Oram Po for instance is rated strictly on the efforts look cool and nothing more.Same way my friend argued me that I had give underrating for OSO ,I agree it is a underrated .The movie is a piece of waste according to me .I make this valuations only on my experience with the movie taking for granted that I enjoy the movie truly and Don’t watch it with lame expressions.

Criticism as such is always subjective. An objective review is in my idea would say "impossible". Movies which becomes acclaimed or hit is basically that lot of subjectiveness is been addressed widely. A review will be subjective because it is an individual perspective. No one puts a stamp on something and say this is the standard. That justs denies the concept of creativity as such. Its automatic human tendency to think that "if I like, it should be good and it is the best" and when some one defends a movie for an argument than a discussion, they are arguing for them, not for the movie :-). This opinion of mine of course is subjective :-P. No offense, just a thought :-).

Don't want to debate about the ratings you give, but just wanna say that "OSO" was "SO SO". That movie is not even worth a review.

5 Forgotten Tamil movies (70's 80's 90's) to watch during this lock down available in Youtube

Image
There used to be days when I used to watch a movie twice, thrice or even five times in a theatre. Every one growing up watching Rajini, Kamal would definitely agree; Aboorva sagotharargal, Batsha, Kadhalukku mariyathai or many to name it.  It may be completely not possible today with the schedule and the amount of new content which streams before you. Some movies bring nostalgic moments when they are telecasted today. For example, I usually have it with Bombay, I remember watching it atleast 30-40 times in theatres in and around Tirunelveli. I have rehashed some of Tamil movies which is available in Youtube today which you should watch it again.  These were some of the movies which gave huge inspirations to film makers, script writers or be it any one loves cinema like me. Test it , first 15 minutes of any these movies and I bet you will sure complete the whole movie. There were movies which defined the audience and also there are why Tamil cinema stands out even today. Unn

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves
