Have not watched katradhu tamizh, so i am not at liberty to make judgement.
This movie stars Jeeva. Word in the industry is that this guy is versatile.
I would not go so far as to call him Tommy Lee Jones.
Although from his recent string of films i must say that this guy can act to a certain degree, and i have not turned off his movies before they ended. Yet.
Judging from Mrs.Neha’s post, i’m assuming all he needed was a steady source of income.
Why didn’t he look for a Job in a musical instrument shop like Shreeya does in Sivaji?She studied tamizh in that movie and apparently that’s why she worked in that shop.
And did he go to temple like a good boy so he could be spotted by a female NRI “Computer Software Architect” who had just returned from America to Chennai to donate her hard earned wealth for providing the below-the-povertyline population with decent tertiary education and sanitary health service for free?
NO
Instead he choose not to have a haircut,shave and probably a bath too(Which apparently in the studio he can get for free) and go cause Grievous Bodily Harm to some poor poser who has to pose to make a living so that he can put his brother through Engineering college, get his sister married, save some money for grandma’s operation, retrive mum’s jewellery from the pawn shop, did i miss anything?
Just to conclude i must say that there are only two themes in Tamil Movies
1) Love
2) Rowdy-ism( Hope that is a word and i spelt it correctly)
Everything else are sub-themes revolving around these themes.
Apparently it is not because we tamizhs are only two Dimensional and scope of creativity is limited to these two themes, but because the a substantial heap of tamizhs can only comprehend these themes.Anything else is garbage.

Anyway what do i know about the fine arts?
i’m just a bat living in a slum

actually I had trouble watching Varumaayin Niram Sivappu after all these years. I mean like the rest of you I like the fact that it stars Kamal, idea or paarpan becoming ambattan etc. is good, but it is touch to watch now…

So if this KT is worse, it must be unwatchable despite what Chen says…

Jupe: I saw Ammuvaagiya Naan. Unfortunately, I spent so much time cringing, that I didn’t end up seeing the movie properly. I am a potboiler fan. I think it’s easier to get away with a bad film that is “different” than a mediocre potboiler. And CDs from EastHam. :)

rads: Varumayin Niram Sivappu (VNS) was a wonderful film. I loved it.

WA: Yes, I am a saviour. What to do. You must get some return for all the lunches I extort out of you no?

Giridhar: Umm..

Grasshopper: With classes in full swing, a breather seems largely impossible. But perhaps all I really need to do – is stop cribbing about the changing weather and go for a long walk.

bombaydosti: Amaidi.. Amaidi.. I love VNS. (There, I’ve said it twice in the comments now.) The film, for all its melodrama, was near perfect.

Nilu: Enne.. poramai aa?

hey, am confused!
you meant that varumayin is a movie that cant be watched in full or was this only about kattrathu?
because, varumayin is one of my favourites.
confusion enhanced at rads comment.
so please do clarify!

do remember bits of varumayin niram sivappu, a personal favourite,being the scene where the painter puts different colours on his canvas. And there comes the red colour, and therein comes the name of the movie.
so if yours was a criticism on that movie, lady, it hurts :(
