I think GVM was a confused man himself when he was directing this flick. He couldn’t pull off the act! It looks like he started the movie with some thing in mind and then Silamabarasan came in and added few stuff here and there improptu and hence the final output.

In few scenes, I could see the brilliance of GVM. He always handles romance part well. I loved it in here though flying overseas to woo a girl and the entire process of it is unrealistic. Surya was awesome! He has it in him to make to the first league and kick self-proclaimed numero uno of the current generation (that is the crop of actors after the generation of Kamal and Rajini) in his ass! (:P)

But as a GVM fan, I was disappointed with the o/p and I felt like asking the money back. And as an ardent Kamal Hasan fan, I take offense in the comparison and telling the world that Dasavatharam was a by-product of his overblown ego!

Here’s something that explains it better. But then I love the way you look at things.

BTW, saw the movie, drooled all over surya (for a large part, not all), fast forwarded all other sequences, ended up wondering if they were trying to make forrest gump with a cheran-mixed-with-karan-johar flavor.

to me, it was neither a tribute to anyone’s father, nor was it the journey of one man. The one thing I liked about the movie was that, after long, the makers of tamil cinema have realized that women objectify men too! (and kasakki pizhinjified it for whatever it was worth)

GVM has a penchant for tamil titles.

I was so disappointed that Kannathil Muthamittal was a commercial flop because Simran was brilliant in that. Hopefully this movie runs for a while and people see Simran for the quality actress she is. And Surya definitely showed that he is the next big Tamil ‘actor’.

me: I saw kannathil only recently after some serious hounding from a frnd. watay movie, and yea Simran is much better in these non-face-paint movies! Though her dance in althota bhoopathy rawks!
