I haven't heard about Kelviyin Nayagan either.<BR/><BR/>Didn't find anything great in Pagal nilavu. Idhayatthai Thirudathe was good but again it won't feature in my favourites by Mani list. As for Yuva, well it is boring when compared to Aayitha Ezhuthu. The choice of actors (except Rani and Abhishek) is the biggest weak point in that. <BR/><BR/>Well, the characetrizations in Guru, it's true that only Guru's was the strongest. But, since the whole movie revolved around him, I didn't mind the other characters not leaving so strong an impact on youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11490429.post-4004605283937136582007-09-13T22:11:00.000-07:002007-09-13T22:11:00.000-07:00Vicky,Wasn't 'Eye of the Tiger' part of the Rocky ...Vicky,<BR/>Wasn't 'Eye of the Tiger' part of the Rocky sound track? Did it have a video of its own?<BR/><BR/>Anitha,<BR/>I was trying to slot the actors you don't expect to see in Mani Ratnam movies. Revathy isn't part of that group for sure.<BR/>I tried to differentiate AE and Yuva. AE does find a spot in my top ten. :)<BR/><BR/>Cheech,<BR/>My research tells me that Unaroo is an outright Mallu movie with Mohanlal in the lead.<BR/>Kelviyin Nayagan continues to be a puzzle. Maybe they dubbed/re-released one of his mediocre works with a new name following Nayagan's success.Vijay Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200500399432772433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11490429.post-27672331108083867692007-09-13T02:01:00.000-07:002007-09-13T02:01:00.000-07:00have heard of pagal nilavu and idhaya kovil. Cluel...have heard of pagal nilavu and idhaya kovil. Clueless abt unaroo and kelviyin Nayagan....will try to find out abt it.<BR/><BR/>@vicky:"eye of the tiger" is an awesome example<BR/><BR/>@utbtkids:agree with u on AE.just a small correction though,i think ajay devagan played the role of surya and vivek played the role of siddarthKelviyinkuralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892247301817823676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11490429.post-284503666121784782007-09-12T09:46:00.000-07:002007-09-12T09:46:00.000-07:00Ypu remembered koundmani in Pagal Nilavu and forgo...Ypu remembered koundmani in Pagal Nilavu and forgot Revathy? Usual brother-is-a-cop-sister-falls-for-a-rowdy story. But I thought it was much better than Idhaya Kovil.<BR/><BR/>I thought Guru was blaahhhhh....<BR/><BR/>Unaroo??! Kelviyin Nayagan??? Have never heard abot them?<BR/><BR/>Now, I have to pick a fight with you about Yuva aka Ayutha Ezuththu. I don'tcare about the top ten, but just a generic line about the movie? Coem on, deserves more. I thought that name 'AE' was very poetic - three discrete circles/dot come together to form a letter, cannot exist by them selves, can never be combined or touch one another - just like the three characters in the movie. The three characters are as unique as they can be, they form our society...well you get the drift. This was THE most poetic title and I think Mani deserves a spl mention just for coming up with this name for the movie. I saw Yuva too, but wasn't all that pleased with Vivek Oberai for Surya's role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11490429.post-76860988912327888712007-09-11T23:25:00.000-07:002007-09-11T23:25:00.000-07:00Wow, I could not resist myself from commenting on ...Wow, I could not resist myself from commenting on this post :)<BR/><BR/>Idhaya Koyil: <BR/>It had a typical Mohan number in "Paatu Thalaivan". But more importantly, there was this song - "oororama athuppakam" - which was like the unsuccessful predecessor to "raja.. rajathi raja" in showcasing mani sir's interest in modern song picturisation, keeping up with the 80s rock n roll and pop trends (watch "Eye of the tiger" by Survivor and "Raja". You'd know what I am talking about)<BR/><BR/>More later!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
