**Warning** - A strict no no for "superstar" fans..
Now that ive covered all bases lemme give vent to my reactions on watchin the latest rajni film to hit the (in my case the comp) screen - CM. Given all the hype that is customary with any of his films, this one was no exception - especially considering what a colossal flop the previous rajni movie was!
Dont wanna end up writing a review - that wasnt my intention.. but some of the thots that crossed my mind were -
to start with the film lacked characterization altogether - it vas so appalling to see someone of the likes of vadivelu to be cast as a member of a well-to-do family - with his dhoti tied up on his chest ! OGAWD save us all...nasser tried his best to make a role out of that given to him and well he did get somewhere with that..the less said abt prabhu n jo the better ! the former's family is supposed to have *brought up* the protagonist but addresses him as *neenga* while the hero (yawn) acts like the savior & even reels of his stereotyped one-liners such as *yaamirukka bayamen* !
utterly atrocious dialogues such as *ivar america'la padichu angaye gold medal vaangirkaar*/*yen ippadi ellam nadakkathu* (ven prabhu is being told that his wife is suffering from a multiple personality disorder) or *naan ethana paerukku intha maathiri pannirpen* by rajni (ven hes inhaling vapors to cure common cold - hes a pyschiatrist for god's sake)....rock the movie throughout and keep you at the edge of the seat (for vant of more)
for reasons known only to the film maker(s) (that includes dhanush's father-in-law i suppose), mishter saravanan (thats rajni for u) dons a pair of eyeshades throughout the movie and even appears briefly (thankgod) with a plait (or vas it a ponytail?) ....
the highlight (im being sarcastic here) of the film is the *lakalakalakalaka* dialogue/sound/gurgling that emanates from saravanan's throat and later from *chandramukhi* (jo) too...GOSH! god save us all......jo jumps about and does some wild leaps that u as viewers r expected to believe to be some form of classical dance...AMEN...
guess malavika n nayantara vere contented enough to just be cast alongside superstar...it could have been anyone else and no one would have noticed (but for bloggers like me)....
anyways i had something to blog abt....& thanks *bani* for putting that thot into my head! ;-)

good for u(and for me) that I read this on ur bday. so i shall take the fifth to all you have said:)However i did notice that u remember more about the movie than I do; things that even the screen legend, idhaya dheivam, kaliyuga mahatma, thanga thalivar's fans will notice only after watching twice or thrice leave alone the common movie-watchin folk. so it does look like u watched it a few times!
hmm thats vat being unemployed (however temporary it mite be) does to people - other skills sharpen ;)
