Bollywood actresses in trouble!

2006-04-23T19:01:00.000-07:00

Madurai court ordered the arrests of two Bollywood actresses following complaints they had posed in “obscene” photographs which were published in a newspaper, officials said. The court issued the arrest warrants after actresses Shilpa Shetty and Reema Sen did not turn up in a court in southern Madurai city in response to earlier summons, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported. A local lawyer had alleged that the regional Tamil language daily, the Tamil Murasu, had published “very sexy blow-ups” of the Bollywood sirens in its issues in December and January. Lawyer T. Dhakshinamoorthy said in his court petition that the pictures violated the Indecent Representation of Women Act, and were misleading the youth. Is it a mistake of actresses or the publications?

Supreme Star SarathKumar Joins AIADMK!

2006-04-18T14:09:00.000-07:00

Actor Sarathkumar who had resigned from DMK last week and his wife Radhika joined AIADMK in the presence of Chief Minister and AIADMK Supremo J Jayalalitha on Monday.The couple took a private aircraft yesterday morning to Madurai from Chennai to meet the Chief Minister who was in election campaign at Theni.The actor formally enrolled himself into AIADMK and received his basic membership party card. He cited that DMK's family politics and threats for having transferred his allegaince to AIADMK and swore that he would be a loyal party member to AIADMK . He was further quoted that he is deeply impressed by Chief Minister's staunch decision on many occasion and would be happy to serve her party forever. It is believed that this move was expected since DMK did not consider the actor for a ministeral berth at the centre.Bhakiyaraj's entry into the party has also jeopardised Sarth's position in DMK.And also Radhika is to head a Private Satellite channel which is duely to be started by a leading Newspaper magazine. Well as the new saying goes...All is fair in love,war and politics!!.

Comedy Actor Vadilvel was working for small comedy roles with Kounda mani, when Comedy Actor Kounda mani was getting one lahh per day. Now Vadivel gets 3 lakhs per day shooting!

Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu release to be delayed!

2006-04-12T10:42:00.000-07:00

The much awaited New Year release Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu starring Padmashree Kamal Hassan and Jothika is believed to be yet again delayed.Directed by Gowtham Menon the film had changed hands between many producers.Movie kicked off with Kaja Mohideen as the producer but due to financial crisis was taken over by Oscar Ravichandran.But it was 7th channel Narayanan who completed the movie's final production making it possible for April 14th release. But it doesnt stop there,Mahendra Jain has obtained court stay order claiming that the movie cannot be released till Kaja Mohideen clears his 3.5 crores debt to him. Unfortunately its Kaja Mohideen who still holds Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu's negative rights.The film unit firmly believes that its very unlikely for the movie to hit the theaters for Tamil New Year. Home production or not controversy is second name to Kamal's movie!!.

Ageing body, Saging Career

2006-04-09T00:47:00.000-07:00

Last week ananda vikatan published a story on sathyaraj and namitha entering politics. It was called Puratchi thamizhar ezhutchi kazhagam. Although the spoof went well with the readers, it just might happen in real to any person walking on kodambakkam streets. Actors venturing into politics has not been new to any land in this earth, specially TN. But this elections are seeing new entrants in a rapid fire fashion. If this trend continues the maha pothu janam is guarenteed to see some of their tinsel town heroes dancing at their doors, seeking their precious votes. We saw Mike murali delivering goody goody speeches on JJ in the telly. Actor thiyagu teases superstar of his incapabilities to defeat DMK alliance in the last election. Comedian senthil bashes Kalaignar. Simran gets the blessings of ADMK Supremo jayalalitha. Bhagyaraj , long time loyal supporter of MGR has joined DMK to save him from the financial crunches he has been suffering for the last decade. And the list might go on as the election dates getting nearer. All you need is an ageing body, saging career and bad mouthed saliva. Updated v2.0 Technorati tags : Tamil Cinema

Actress Mallika Sherawat

2006-04-06T20:19:00.000-07:00

Actress Mallika Sherawat had reached her top. In a way, she is an achiever. She had definitely achieved what she wanted and I think she achieved by understanding her core-competency and her strengths. We really have to appreciate for her success for reaching till Jackie Chan, but the route she had adopted is Modelling and "Acting"! If you are looking for a photo - I could not get a non-glamorous photo/pic of Actress Mallika Sherawat!! Thank You!

Actress Simran into politics

2006-04-06T20:05:00.000-07:00

After meeting AIADMK supremo and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa recently, actress Simran, who expressed her solidarity to the ruling AIADMK, is all ready to hit the campaign trail. Film Industry seems to be first bed for all politicians!! In a way, not a very healthy sign for the state!!

Malayalam Actor Mohanlal opened a restaurant in Bangalore - Harbour Market is the name! Few days back Malayalam and Tamil Actress Gopikha (Gopika) opened a restaurant. This restaurant seems to be a good investment for the actor and actresses. In fact, lot of actor and actresses already have them opened. Probably this is the first business they startoff with, though there are some other businesses they look into like - marriage halls, hotels, schools, colleges etc., Captain Vijayakanth has a huge set of businesses under his umbrella. Actor Vijay has many. Actor Arvind Samy has a BPO company on his own. Tamil Actor and MP Napolean has lot of businesses - one of them is a software company called - Jeevan Technologies!!

Actor Surya endorsing Pepsi

2006-04-04T22:14:00.000-07:00

Previously Telugu Actor Pawan Kalyan was endorsing Pepsi in Andhra, but now after Ghajini's super duper hit in Telugu - company had chosen him as the man for pepsi. He says - "Pepsi Thagandi, Hero Aavandi". This means you drink pepsi and participate in some contests to win a chance for acting in his next movie. BTW, Actor Surya is also appearing in Pepsi TV, which seems to be appearing as advertisements in various channels. This is the next TV channel looks like!!!

Dinakaran's advertisement in SUN TV

2006-04-03T19:25:00.000-07:00

If you are a constant watcher of Sun TV, your memory will be filled with "Dinakaran" all over! Every fifteen minutes, there is an advertisement for Dinakaran - saying that it is just 1 rupee. There is a caption for Dinakaran as well - "Soooper Maa". I would say that Dinakaran had reached every corner of Tamil Nadu state. When I called India from US to my relative's place and also my home there - I was told they are getting Dinakaran!!! Dinakaran had become a success for sure!! In addition to that, there is Tamil Murasu, which is an evening newspaper, while Dinakaran is a morning newspaper. It is all because of repetitive advertisement and also the referral programs between all the channels of Sun Network. There are lot of things to be learnt from Sun Network, for business!! Please monitor Sun Network's business to understand lot of business!!!

Sujatha - a writer!

2006-03-31T22:38:00.000-08:00

Sujatha is one knowledgeable person in Tamil Nadu, India. I remember him based on many times - but let me share one of his funny dialogues he said to some press/TV channel. He said - If K TV continues in this rate, they will cover all the tamil movies in TV and there won't be any new movie to watch, instead it would all be a repetition. In one way, that is a funny statement, but it is true!:-) Keep watching for more news!

Karthik into politics

2006-03-31T22:35:00.000-08:00

After Vijayakanth, it is Actor Karthik's turn now. He is also into politics. All the best for his film career. - Madurai Machan

Vijayakanth's social activities

2006-03-31T22:32:00.000-08:00

1. Rs.14 Lakhs for Poor School Students at various functions for the last several years. 2. Rs.20 Lakhs spend on each Birthday for donating Sewing Machines, Tricycle, Iron Box, Idli Vessels etc., 3. Rs.2.4 Lakhs donated for joining 4 poor students in Engineering Colleges who had topped with good marks. 4. Rs.25,000/- donating to little flower school every year. 5. Rs.50,000/- donating to MGR Blind School every year. 6. Donated 1000 Beds, 50 Color Televisions to Government Hospital 7. Rs.2 Lakhs donating to Defence Personal Children Education every year. 8. Rs.5 Lakhs donated to Kargil relief fund recently. Isn't it wonderful?

How dare captain Vijayakanth?

2006-03-31T22:28:00.000-08:00

This photo is from a movie Kallalagar! How dare Captain Vijayakanth takes such movies? He probably didn't understand the taste of people, even though he is in industry for a longtime. Anyway, what he will do - it is all director's and producer's mistake!

Namitha in Green!

2006-03-31T22:22:00.000-08:00

Well, Actress Namitha is unbelievable! I think this song is "Arjuna, Arjuna" song! It is a very nice song to hear too. Though Namitha may be talked over by all over tamilnadu, there is always a downside. Shortly, she will be disliked by tamil nadu people. Till that happens, let us enjoy watching Namitha!!;-)

Do you remember Ramarajan?

2006-03-31T22:11:00.000-08:00

Do you remember Ramarajan? He is living the worst times of his life!? Kicked out by wife, children, career and what not!? Well, hope good times will come to him!

Shakeela is not the only one!

2006-03-31T22:02:00.000-08:00

Shakeela was not the only one in that pool. There were lot others - Maria, Sindhu, Kavitha, Prameela etc., Well check out Maria above in action!

Shakeela, once upon a time ruling South India - on soft porn world!

2006-03-31T21:54:00.000-08:00

You won't even image this kind of a crazy wave sometime back - when Indian Soft-porn movie glamour actress Shakeela's movies were super duper hit, when compared to the very good quality Mohanlal and Mamooty movies released recently. Shakeela acted previously in Tamil movies and Telugu movies in small small roles. After that she got such roles in soft-porn movies and she became a big hit. As psychologists say - there are two kinds of people's taste - Some guys like girls who are stout and some guys like girls who are lean. I think she became a hit because of the first set of male audience! I am sure all girls hate Shakeela!! I am sure she earnt a good amount of money to live rest of her life peacefully.

Raam grabbed the Cyprus International award

2006-03-31T21:48:00.000-08:00

It gave two awards - One for Best Performing Actor for Jeeva and another for best music direction for Yuvan Shankar Raja. Congratulations to you both from Madurai Machan!

Cannot stop with one article for Actress Mona Chopra!

2006-03-29T21:00:00.000-08:00

PASSION FOR FILMS: My dad wanted me to be a doctor while my mom wanted me to be anything but an actress. My mom knows that nothing can change my mind. In 2001, when I was 17, I dropped out of college (St.Ann’s College, Mehdipatnam) and ran away to Mumbai with just Rs 5,000 with me. I started off with modelling. After giving about 50 auditions each day for more than six months, I got my first break as a heroine in a film called Timepass which unfortunately flopped. SEXUALITY: My sexuality is my USP. I completely believe in my sexuality and I am not at all ashamed of it. Despite the fact that I was very shy as a kid, I had my first sexual experience when I was sixteen. It gives me a high. I would in fact want to do films like Basic Instinct. I want to be like Bipasha Basu who is so effortlessly seductive. In less than six months, I am going to replace Mallika Sherawat. FITNESS REGIME: I don’t go to the gym. But I do a lot of jogging. I am not a food freak. I eat only chappatis and drink lots of water. TELUGU FILMS: My first Telugu movie, A Film By Arvind, was a superhit. My next Telugu titled Something Something is similar to the Bollywood hit No Entry. MARRIAGE: I do not want to get married as I am too self-centered and cannot commit to anybody. By preferring to be single throughout my life, I can always have the companion of my choice and if need be, dump him whenever he becomes a liability! I think marriage is a sheer waste of time. It burdens you with unnecessary baggage like parentage and unwanted responsibilities. Moreover, even if you wish to seek a divorce, you would have to shell out alimony. I do like kids and might adopt one rather than going for pregnancy. FORTHCOMING FILMS: Year 2007 is surely going to be mine. I want to play the bad girl for a good cause. You must see me in my forthcoming films like Naughty Boy, Red Swastika and Daghaa to believe me. I am also doing the remake of Sex, Lies and Videotape titled Ishq, Jurm Aur Videotape. Well, Madurai Machan did not write this column. This was found in newindpress.com, which is one of the Indian Express Division of websites! Could not categorize Mona Chopra in any category!?

Interesting thing about Madhavan!?

2006-03-28T21:53:00.000-08:00

It is not good, if we don't write anything about Actor Madhavan, who is the heart-throb of most of the girls and women in Tamil Nadu! In one of the tamil magazines, he was rated as the romantic heros, based on a poll in women's college...Interesting.... His pet name is Maddy!! We recently found an interesting website, in which Madhavan was there..Wondering what it is?? It is a poll about "Vote for the Hottest Vegetarian Allive"!! http://www.petaindia.com/hottest/index2003.html Also check out his childhood photo! Enjoy!! -Made In Madurai Team

Her mothertoungue is Punjabi but she also speaks Hindi and Tamil quite well. She learnt Tamil while acting in Tamil films, as she was in Tamil Nadu. However only in Tamil Nadu she found a place to manifest her talents. She shall always be grateful to her Tamil fans for the love and care that they have shown to her.

Actress Sangavi trying to come back

2006-03-28T11:17:00.000-08:00

We all know about Sangavi - who was working with Vijay in his initial days and had actor Vijay's movie running and gained profit for the producer, even though the movie was a waste of time! She is down now, because of huge competition from new actresses and the import of Bombay girls! Looks like now actress sangavi is trying to come back to the field - She is distributing her photos, which looks slim now. All the Best to her. We hope she will be able to compete with the current competition to get back a position in the actress hierarchy!

Mona started her career with movie 'Time Pass' and her next movie 'Naughty Boy' will be released in few days. Recently a video clip showing Mona Chopra changing her clothes during a movie shoot was circulated and it is in internet and mails. When asked her about it - she said that she undresses herself so many times during shooting. It might have happened that someone secretly shot her in nude. She also said she will take legal action against it, since it is about getting inside my privacy! Having said all these, it is also said that actress will strip from head to toe for 'Red Swastika'. interesting isn't it? - Madurai Machan

Sivaji Ganesan’s "Veerapandiya Kattabomman" movie, which was powerful and all-time classic movie was the last Tamil movie to be screened and up for competition in Asia-Africa Internation Film Festival at Cairo in 1960.

Gopika creating her own business

2006-03-25T22:41:00.000-08:00

Gopika had recently bought a restaurant in Kochi. Her family already has some experience in running hotels. While she continues her acting career, her father and the rest of her family will manage the hotel. Gopika’s younger sister too has received lot of offers to act in films. She completed her Class XII last year. And some of the offers that came her way were pretty good. But Gopika has made it clear that the younger sister isn’t going to get into films so soon, especially when her career hasn’t exactly ended yet.

Pachakudhirai

Though Parthiban himself is not disclosing anything about this movie - Pachakudhirai, outside circles close to him disclosed that Rajini, Kamal and other actors are being animated and will appear with Parthiban in a climactic scene. Interesting part is - Namitha is to play opposite Parthiban. Namitha, branded as a glamour queen,will get the opportunity in this film to show that she can act,according to the sources.The other details of the new film are still to be revealed.

Praveen Kanth's confidence!

2006-03-23T12:52:00.000-08:00

These days directors have started acting in movies! This guy's name is Praveen Kanth and he directed "Jodi" with Prasanth and Simran casting. This guy especially has lot of guts and confidence man! How dare he acts in movies!?? Is this because everyone thinks - personality does not matter after seeing Dhanush. Dude..Dhanush is acting because he has lot of talent in acting!! Please consider that!! Anyways, When Tamil Nadu people accept any kind of heros, it is not a problem for these kind of guys to act in movies. Probably Praveen Kanth has a dream in tamil nadu politics also!! Who knows?!!:-) Madurai Machan romba varuthathudan...

There is somebody who has captain' s official site. Please check out the geocities official homepage he is maintaining. He seems to be captain's big time fan. http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/set/1876/ Did you know Captain Vijayakanth is a telugu person, but from Madurai, Tamil Nadu? He was a son of Rice Mill owner and he left Madurai for acting in films and now seeking a career in politics as well. It has become easy for someone in films to take up a career in administration! It happens only in India and especially in South India - Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka! Kerala people seem to be intelligent than the other states of south india!! We shall see more information about captain in the next article!!

Ghaana Ulaganaathan

2006-03-21T17:33:00.000-08:00

His name is "Ghaana" Ulaganaathan. He is the talk of the town. He is one reason why "Chithiram Pesudhadi" is a big hit!! Every tea shop in Tamilnadu is playing his song - "Vaala meenu velanga meenu". It is amazing to notice that just by one song - he becomes popular!! Looks like he has got lot of offers already. All the Best for his career!! from Madurai Machan

Mandhira Bedi's valarchchi

2006-03-20T12:21:00.000-08:00

Mandira Bedi is a model turned tv serial actress and TV host. She was also well known for her Cricket host and mainly for her dressing sense. Usually it is heard that - "After Every man, there is a woman working for his success". In case of Mandhira Bedi, it is different. Her husband's is Director Raj Kaur. He had been working hard for the success of Mandhira Bedi. Looks like their marriage took place after lot of struggle even.

Crazy Mohan and Mumtaz

2006-03-18T20:23:00.000-08:00

Not sure why Crazy Mohan is taking up such projects. Probably comedy is the highlight in this movie. But the photo stills say things differently - There are lot of photos available! Looks like director wants to package glamour and comedy - and deliver it to the audience!! Cast - Ramesh, Mumtaz, Sruthi, Meera Vasudevan!!

Kadhaludan

2006-03-18T19:36:00.000-08:00

Director Raajakumaran follows the same path laid down previously by directors like Agathiyan. After the failure of his second movie Vinnukkum Mannukkum, he has attempted to find success by virtually cloning his first movie, the entertaining and successful Nee Varuvaai Ena. But while Kaadhaludan follows the same trajectory as the earlier movie, it fails to recreate its charm. So the result here is boredom alternating with the feeling of having seen it all before. Kalyan(Murali), a magician and singer in a troupe, does not believe in visiting a girl and then deciding whether to wed her or not. Instead, his goal is to get to know the girl without her realising that she is his potential bride and then make his decision. So he follows this route with Kavitha(Devayani), the girl his mother has selected. He arrives in her village, helps her in several ways and gradually falls for her too. But just when he is ready to reveal the truth about himself, she reveals that she has a lover Durai(Abbas) and is waiting for his return from Bombay. For the entire first half, one gets the feeling that Eraajakumaran has simply remade his own Nee Varuvaai Ena with Murali and Abbas replacing Parthiban and Ajith. The fact that Devayani, playing the same kind of role, is the heroine in both movies only reinforces this feeling. So we have Murali falling for Devayani and and in a similar fashion, thinking that she has feelings for him too. But Devayani has no such ideas and has a love life of her own and Murali realises this just when is all set to reveal his feelings for her. Again, her flashback is a collection of incidents where Abbas charms her with his cute acts. But the key difference here is that the situations seem unbelievable and silly most of the time. While Murali's policy seems lofty, his actions after seeing Devayani are uninteresting and overdone. For instance, Devayani and her father stand by idly while Murali and his friends go off to work for the man to whom Devayani's father owes some money! And while the suspense in Nee Varuvaai Ena was well maintained with small hints, Devayani's excitement when Murali mentions Bombay makes it clear she has a lover there. The movie's few good moments come after Murali's trip to Bombay. A number of surprises and twists are packed into a short time which helps in keeping us both engrossed and guessing. I especially liked the way something minor from before(two people with the same name) was used later on. But the way things are resolved seems rather anti climactic and from then onwards the movie moves predictably. Murali's final monologue goes on for a little too long, which hides the fact that it does contain some nice lines and good points. Murali plays his usual role and adds nothing new. Devayani is her usual self too while Abbas impresses in a small role. Ramesh Khanna raises some laughs with his dialog delivery though the script doesn't help him much. S.A.Rajkumar's songs remind us of earlier tunes but are soft and pleasing. Saturday evening, summaa veetla irunthaa paakkalamnga intha padam!!!

2006-03-17T21:54:00.000-08:00

Captain Vijayakanth used to pull in Vadivelu previously, but in his recent movie he seem to have chosen Karunaas - Is this just for change or any issues between them?!?!?!?!? Vadiveluvum madurakkaaran, Captainum maduraikkaararu!!

Kalabak Kadhalan

2006-03-17T06:52:00.000-08:00

Kanmani character had dollops of negative shades but it only spurred Akshaya to shed her inhibition and walk away with honours and pride intact. Her improvisation meant an extended footage with the added comfort and luxury of four songs canned on her. The film in reference is Kalabak Kadalan, where the unpretentious teenager turned out to be a tough customer. As the one madly in love with her sister's husband, she pleads with him to accept as the second wife. She has to get her man, come what may, not averse to jettison her clothes and shed copious tears. Hogging all the media attention in that fiery act, Akshaya sounded that it is only the start. Could not have been better or so one thought till you got to hear what it really meant from the horse's mouth! A second year student of business administration, Akshaya said she is no mean singer, both in the classical and light form. Stage shows were one too many, happy to be the lone female voice for it presented more opportunities. Akshaya's first taste of the medium was much early, totally in awe as the younger sibling of Simran in the unconventional storyline of KovilpattiVeeralakshmi. 'You only carry happy feelings of the experience sharing frames with Simran and brush up the camera knowledge from a seasoned hand like Ashok Kumar. Director Rajeswar had the guile to project it in a huge canvas. It was good for starters, helping to get an insight of the field and allied areas.' Akshaya has a few offers lined-up soliciting her consent. Getting typecast and falling in the rut is the uneasiness playing her mind. Now that she has the time to sit back and look at the stars, it does not seem so distant. The dark horse of Kalabak Kadalan has the trappings of a long distance as the tag.

Sudhesi

2006-03-07T13:10:00.000-08:00

The story is simple. V.S.Raghavan was the chief minister of TN and he was killed by Shayaji Shinde(Bharathi movie hero). Some how this murder was recorded in C.D. by his close adviser using advanced technologies. And Shayaji Shinde sworns as C.M. Accidently sudhesi gets the C.D. and he started blockmailing the C.M. that you have to implement the plans as his idea otherwise he will be thrown out of the C.M. post because he will release the C.D. to press media/public. Sudhesi's idea's are follows 1. sending the doctors to villages 2. all the VIP's/Office's children have to study in corporation schools, 3. making suprise visit to the city so that all the departments will function well 4. Those who are all studying M.B.B.S. have to work in villages for one year otherwise they will not be awarded(given degree certificate) as doctors. 5. If an officer is doing corruption and minimum 5000 people have to sign againist him and if they file petition then the office will be punished. 6. On the other hand,if an officer is doing good for the people and if he gets transfer by political fight and again minimum 5000 people sign in favour of him then he will be retained. etc.. Because of this new innovative ideas, Shayaji Shinde was honoured by U.N. So the C.M. praises our Sudhesi that everything is because of you but nobody know that you are the person behind this new ideas. Now Sudhesi says that i will not release the C.D. to public because i need to execute many more plans to help the public and poor people. And the movie ends.

This movie is a kuppai. I was expecting some good quality and long-standing comedy would be there. Namitha is hot, hot, hot!!! Enjoy watching her. They have taken concepts from many movies and fit them into this movie. They have tried to imitate, spoof various movies and individuals, in order to generate some comedy, but of no use. Vadivel has done his level best. Initial comedies from him are disgusting, which are slowly improved upon. But overall, Vadivel has done lot better before! I hate this Sibi, but his father seem to push him into this industry. As you know this guy also will become a star, in tamil film industry! It is always crazy in two things - who will become a star and who will win in political elections!! Even if you don't have any useful work to do, do not watch this movie!!

I watched this movie in theatre and this is the movie I enjoyed talking about it with my wife, when we spoke first time. We even watched it together in Madurai!:-) A scintillating performance from Suriya. Heres an actor who never stops surprising you, revealing new facets of his talent from film to film, amazing one with his versatility, holding out promise of more untapped talent. It's fascinating to watch him in action. Sanjay Ramasamy character is sooooperb.

This is one movie, I have watched so many times - in theatre and online - lankasri.com as well. What a story, what a screenplay, direction, music, photography, choreography? Amazing!!!! I don't have any other words to explain this. Just watch this movie, if you have not watched. It is also quite inspiring movie. Shankar is the man standing behind this movie. Do not listen to stories, just watch this movie and enjoy it. Behind the scene stuff: Sankar first thought of Superstar Rajinikanth, then that plan was dropped because Rajini was asking for production share, which is not wrong. Also that is a good decision because - Sankar would not have come to limelight, if Rajini would have acted. Rajini, as a superstar dominates covers all the other talents. I happenned to see Sankar's interview, in which he was telling about the way he came up with the complete story. He said he first thought of an idea called - what if someone, takes up the chief minister post and rule the state!? Slowly using this idea as a dot, he drew concentric lines, it seems. Quite interesting and this is the usual thing, anybody does with an idea, but picturizing the thought process was fun to listen. Anyway, it is a must watch movie and this is a superhit in tamil, telugu and hindi as well!! Enjoy it!

2006-03-02T21:49:00.001-08:00

I watched this movie in tamiltricks.com. I would have probably enjoyed more than I enjoyed in computer, if I would have watched in a theatre. Anyway, about the rating it is a proper madurai kadal movie. I loved this movie for its "manvaasanai". I could feel the smell of Madurai, when I watched this movie. Sandhya had acted really well and I am sure she got recognized in the tamil film world very much. This film was a super hit in tamil and telugu. Even though the movie is based out of a real story, the main success for this film is screenplay and direction. HatsOff to the director of this movie. Overall, a must watch movie, if you are from Madurai or Not from Madurai!!
