The Tamil Films Thread

I have started this thread exclusively for Tamil films since there was none earlier.

Let me start with my brief review of Tamizh Padam, which I watched recently at Fame Lido, Bangalore. Overall, I give a rating of 100% for this movie, which is breath of fresh air in Tamil film entertainment.

This film is a spoof and satire of Tamil blockbusters of yesteryears, super stars of the present, past and future, and the eminent writers and directors. Vennira Aadai Murthy, Mano Bala and M S Bhaskar don the roles of college students making fun of our ageing actors portraying college student roles! In fact, the dad of Vennira Aadai Murthy is younger than the son! This film makes fun of many superhits like Nayagan, Dalapathi, Vettayadu Vilayadu, Sivaji, Virumandi, Mozhi, Kizhakke Pogum Rail, Mouna Ragam, Anniyan, Ramana, etc.

The creators of the movie like Amudan [Director], Chandru [Writer] are new-comers. The actors are mainly from TV serials. This is a low-budget film, but has become a big hit as is vogue in Tamil filmdom nowadays. I congratulate the Director & Writer for creating such a wholesome rib-tickling comedy.

If you want to laugh continuously for a couple of hours, then this is the movie to watch. But, you should have watched the blockbusters earlier to enjoy the fun!
