@baradwajrangan@fcompanionsouth Super session in store Baddy.Finally,a film that actually warrants a deep focus N a filmmaker who earns the respect he gets.Even Manikandan is influenced by other filmmakers,but still he has a voice of his own.Unlike our local wannabe Tarantinos and Nolans. Waiting for this!
@RaunaqMangottil Not really. Such lyrics have been there forever. What is Muqala muqabla? Makayela? Naaku mukka? Jalabula jangu? I’m sure Raja and MSV have also tried. In fact, in this day and age, what takes guts is to make actually good meaningful melodies.
@Vishal1Menon Take SAJ intro itself as an example. There are many ways to make that scene more interesting. But he will choose the most flat boring way, relying purely on Lal’s slomo. Big B was fresh, but such a bore. So much crying for Mary John but don’t think sentiments worked at all.
@baradwajrangan@fcompanionsouth Deep focus isn’t even necessary for this. Every message and intention in the film is on the nose. Subbaraj’s problem isn’t tying up storylines, it’s the fact that he doesn’t know how to do it in a convincing way.
@ImthiazMuhassin@sudhirsrinivasn Another problem is… this is not a web series. It’s a film. So then it would have been better if he focused on maybe 5 of the 10 things he is trying to say. He wants the gandhian family aspect, rise of gangster aspect, liquor politics aspect, father son aspect, dhalapathy aspect.
@ImthiazMuhassin@sudhirsrinivasn KS can try to say anything. But as a story it has to connect and make us feel things. If Dhruv’s characterisation was moulded as a grounded person who has cunning instincts within, then it would have been better. Here starting itself he is behaving like a psycho for no reason.
@ImthiazMuhassin@sudhirsrinivasn Dhruv’s anger based on childhood did not seem believable. Let alone his whole psychomode. And someone ruthlessly cunning like him suddenly becoming super naive to his father’s stupid ideas in climax. Poor writing.
@ImthiazMuhassin@sudhirsrinivasn Thanks for the response. But point was not about why things happen. It was about if any of these things were convincing. Situations in KS films just seem very forced. Contrived.
@baradwajrangan Really want to ask abt mahaan. Was Vikram’s change convincing?Was Simran leaving convincing? Was rise of syndicate convincing? Was Vikram going for festival convincing? Was Dhruv characterisation convincing? Was anything convincing? But u didnt point out any of these stupidities.
@baradwajrangan N really am baffled by how generous u r with idiotic amateur films like jagame thandiram n mahaan that has its entire plot,characters n philosphy confused while u condescend on a film like gehraiyan thats written consistently tightly. Just comparing because films are recent.
@baradwajrangan Film felt very familiar.Surely it was not path breaking but it was well crafted for what it promised.Disagreed with some points in your review about it feeling like hollywood characters. It was showing the elite crowd. They mix hindi n english. U urself speak in tanglish.
@RaunaqMangottil Really want to ask the ones praising. Was Vikram’s change convincing? Was Simran leaving convincing? Was rise of syndicate convincing? Was Vikram going for festival convincing? Was Dhruv characterisation convincing? Was anything convincing? R v jus spsd to blv anything he writes?
