As Madhraasi continues its slide and reaching Rs 100 crore within Tamil Nadu looks impossible. A big drop as Amaran was a Rs 300 cr club film. SK needs to understand that Amaran became a blockbuster not because of him. Excluding Amaran, his market is actually lesser than Dhanush. If Madharaasi fails to beat Kuberaa collections and Idly Kadai beats both Kuberaa and Madharaasi collections, then Dhanush will move to number 5 spot and SK will come down to number 6. SK’s budget range should be 60–80 crores just as Dhanush’s. He can’t move to 165 crores budget within a single blockbuster film. Hopefully Vinayak, VP and Cibi projects, the budgets are controlled.
19 years
of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu
We say
that Vikram is a tribute by Lokesh a fanboy of Kamal . However the only film
which one can call as the extraordinary fanboy sambhavam is Vettaiyaadu
Vilaiyaadu . . This came just one year after the flop of Mumbai
Xpress (Highly underrated), and became one of the biggest modern
sensations and comebacks for a Tier 1 star.
SO much has been said about the film’s gorgeous content and
scene executions, but the highlight is
the beautifully natural work chemistry between director Goutham Menon and actor
Kamal Haasan, which shaped the unforgettable scenes we see today.
The best
example of this is the iconic Villain Base Infiltration Intro, where Kamal
stares into the soul of the villain and asks, “En Kannu Venunnu Kettiya?” This is really how a fanboy should actually
treat his idol
The
magical part of this sequence, beyond the execution and cracking performance,
is that it was purely improvised. Kamal and GVM approached this film in a way
where they discovered it together, scene by scene. And when it came to this
particular moment, the entire crew was stunned by Kamal’s complete improv of
both dialogues and mannerisms. You can even see the camera adjust at the last
second to zoom in on Kamal’s eye.
Through
classy direction, brilliant performances, outstanding songs, and- tying it all
together- a rock solid script, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu stands
as a timeless piece in the stellar decade of Tamil films.
This is
one bloody movie which I envy as a Rajini fan! I need a movie like this with
the Superstar in a suave detective role and a crime mystery thriller. Vettaiyan
could have been that but it took a different path.
The
latest buzz is that the Fahadh Faasil will work with Prem Kumar, the Meiyazhagan director.
The 96
director revealed his next film’s details in a recent interview. “I will be
working on my next movie with Fahadh Faasil. It’s going to be a thrilling
action flick, but it’ll still have that emotional depth I love. I told Fafa a
story for 45 minutes, and he really enjoyed it. This is a straight-up Tamil
movie, and they start shooting in January.”
Prem
Kumar’s Next Projects:
1.
An adventure survival drama with 9 characters.
2.
An action thriller starring Fahadh Faasil in the lead role.
3.
A film where the plot revolves around a love story but without a heroine.
