These are the dark ages as far as the Tamil film industry.
Forget Thirutu Nais like Venkat Prabhu, even veterans like Kamal Haasan have stooped to stealing. When they’re not stealing, these Kollywood rascals are churning out unendurable trash like Sura.
If there’s been a Renaissance in Indian arts and culture, it has not touched Tamil shores yet.
The other day we committed the deadly sin of buying the Evan di Unna Pethan track from the upcoming movie Vaanam (Simbhu) on iTunes.
Keeping in line with the current rage of remaking movies, Vaanam is a rehash of the 2010 Telugu film Vedam.
Misery, Unending Misery
Folks, a lot of ugly sights and discordant sounds have fallen on these fading eyes and these old ears but few have caused us as much agony, so much grief as Evan Di Unna Pethan.
The ne plus ultra of trash, this excreta of a song and its diarrhea of lyrics has few parallels even in a Tamil movie industry lorded over by thieves and halfwits making films for imbeciles and crackpots.
We listened to Evan di Unna Pethan repeatedly to see if we could salvage some element of sanity from it.
Hard as we tried, we came a cropper.
From the babyish first line to the sophomoric middle to the depressing end, it’s all one dystopian nightmare.
Our biggest issue was to discern which was worse – the music or the lyrics. A tough one, an impossibly odious task this business of finding the lesser evil!
Of course, somethingย so obscene, so bereft of any redeeming features would perforce find favor with the Tamil audience.
So, it’s hardly with any surprise we note that the song is resonating well with its intended audience.
These stupid Tamils deserve the crappy music, the trashy movies and the crooked leaders thrown at them with monotonous regularity.

dinesh,can you say who is your favourite music director
I am waiting for the movie to getting released soon. SImbhu as usual is a superb star who can sizzle in the cinema theatre when ever he is coming. Simbhu is next biggest actor you watch that film, he’ll do the roles better than the original and im sure it will be block buster for 200 days. further to add, beautiful anushka is also there simbu and anushka form a better pair than that small-brinjal surya who putted heels to acting with anushka.. So tamilnadu fans, get ready for another super hit from simbu the superstar after super film VTV
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. Yeah, that ‘small-brinjal surya’ always putted (sic) heels to all Tamil movies.
Small-brinjal surya’s father Sivakumar also putted (sic) heels with this stupid dance in Vellikizhamai Viratham

If small-brinjal [If tamils did not understand what was intended to be conveyed by this phrase – it is a sheer translation attempt of tamil usage – ‘kulla katharikaai’] surya ‘putted’ heels, the tiny-brinjal Simbhu should have ‘putted’ on some ‘stool’ !! ๐

the heroines of the movie are not that good. playboy jiivas heroine was little ok and goodlooking. they should have selected anushka who is very beautifully looking like we sawed in singam cinema. she is always sizzling watch more anushka movies and she is the best and will win many awards for talented roles that she will be doing in future.
@kumaraguru
Looking at your comments, it seems like you’re the type of person who’d go to the extent of building a temple for Anushka aka Sweety Shetty ๐
no i was just her fan. she acts well than other heroines like trisha, sreya who doesnt give a single expression . already kushbu temple was built that itself is a big mistake so no more temples. .
@Kumaraguru / @trishna147,
SI just loves Anushka & reaches orgasm at the mere sight of name Anushka ๐
If all any temple would be built for her, it is most likely that SI demands chief-priest position in it.

Denied, Strongly!
SI is already Head Priest in the church of Jennifer Lawrence. ๐
@Kumaraguru
i agree that Anushka is better than these non-actresses like Shriya, Trisha, etc. I heard these people also built a temple for Namitha. Enna Kodume Sir ithu…

Hi,
Just listened to the title song from the movie Engeyum Kadhal. Nice soothing melody.
Unfortunately watched Singam Puli in theater.
Jiiva does well.But a pathetic piece of shit overall (3 hours of nonsense and stupid screenplay).Jiiva had a flop in Katcheri Arambam,still he does not learn from the disaster.Well,some people don’t learn!!
Hope he does well in Ko and Nanban (remake of 3 idiots).
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: Jiiva had a flop in Katcheri Arambam,still he does not learn from the disaster.Well,some people don’t learn!!
If Jiva aka Amar B. Choudry were not RB Choudhry’s son, he’d probably be driving an auto in one of the smaller towns of Tamil Nadu like Vellore or Cuddalore or Thirukoilur.
Tamil MA might be an exception, though.
2. iTunes has Engeyum Kadhal. Not sure if it’s worth $7. Must listen to snippets a few more times.
The album has a track Bathing at Cannes.
Sounds interesting. Assuming they show Hansika Motwani Bathing at Cannes as God created her with that Rap song playing in background. ๐
What next in Tamil movies? Music tracks like Bathing at Chennai, Bathing in Cooum, Bathing in Tirupati? ๐
3. BTW, is there nothing more to life than this stupid Kadhal?
Look at the number of movies with the word Kadhal on IMDB. They may have even missed some. ๐
Engeyum Kaadhal, ha ha ha. Kadavule kapathu! (god, please
shavesave us)Engeyum Kadhal songs are nice. If you spent god knows how much on ‘Evan Di Unnai Pethan, Kaiyile Kidachan Setthan’, you might just as well get EK. And KO has a really nice song called ‘Ennamo Edho’. The rest arent that great. One of the sounds exactly like Hasili Fisili (its called Amali Thumali; you know what, i think Harris Jayaraj should write his own dictionary, perhaphs then we’ll know what he means by Oh Maha Zeeya, Randakka and whatever). But still, its any day better than this song…
SearchIndia.com Responds:
We’ll look at Engeyum Kadhal again tonight on iTunes.
definitely you should watch that movie that movie was not very entertainment movie like siva manasula sakthi or kacheri arambam but jiiva was good and santhanam comedy was ok im just sharing my happy moments after watching that movie not to hurt anyone. instead of watching that horrible India hater freida pinto movie and all you can watch singampuli. mark my words jiiva and simbu movies are very good and they both are talented like kamalhaasan and their movies are always rocking .
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. Even if we want to watch it, we can’t because Singam Puli ain’t playing here no more.
2. What’s wrong with Freida Pinto. She has a great deal of spunk. At least, she’s not going around stealing stuff like that Ulaga Madayan. We may not like her acting but we think she’s a pushy girl trying hard. More power to Freida Pinto. Show us one Indian girl who’s got directors like Woody Allen casting her in their movies!
regardign ur opinion on freida pinto she may be trying hard but is that one quality enough. every one in the cinema field is trying, even aishwarya rai acted in hollywood film and she was also trying hard to get more roles with a good scope for acting. If a poor girl from rural part of india got a big break like slumdog millionaire then she would also be trying hard to proceed further what makes freida pinto so special? she openly stated that she doesnt like to be branded as indian . maybe u NRIs maty like because she is an anglo indian and u consider her as ur people. but will you admit any other actress trying hard as much as this talentless girl freida pinto? kamalhaasan may steal others work but he is still best and has given many good films in the past like devar mahan, kurudhi punal , sigappu rojakkal. michael madana kamarajan, rajaparvai , varumayin niram sivappu and many more. now i agree his recent works like dasavatharam manmadhan ambu are very boring but it doesnt make him as bad as freida pinto. Wody allen may be the best director but even you didnt like the film by freida pinto? that [deleted] will return soon to india after being ignored by hollywood directors and then beg for a chance in bollywood forgetting her statements.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: maybe u NRIs maty like because she is an anglo indian and u consider her as ur people.
So you don’t think NRIs can be Iyers or Mudaliars or Vanniars or Chettiars.
Hear, hear…all of us can only be Anglo-Indians. ๐
Could you please explain how a virgin (Mary) could give birth to a son (Jesus). This non-Anglo-Indian NRI would like to know. ๐
2. We like Freida Pinto because she has lots of spunk. No Godfathers, No Miss World title to help her, no Great Face that can launch a thousand ships…just enormous drive.
Ok you didnt ever mention why u compared sucha nasty actress with a legend like kamal haasan.
if she didnt have godfather who is danny boyle. if she didnt act in danny boyles movie and acted in priyadarshans movie instead will be famous as she thinks she is now?? even ajith didnt have any godfather and there are many others like him without godfather. What about maniratnam then?he has a godfather? he is not famous now?
one thing that nasty india hating actress has is luck and that is why she is in this position.
Luck will not be ever lasting she will come to india once again and beg that is for sure

Kumaraguru, Kamal is a good actor within the parameters of Indian Cinema. Tamil cinema to be specific. He has done some good work in the past. My problem with Kamal is his lack of originality. “Legend” is a very loosely used term in India. Anyone who acts for 2-3 decades ends up being called as a legend.
With so many decades of experience and success, one expects more from Kamal than a freakshow’s like Dasavatharam or stolen scripts like Manmadhan Ambu. A good actor should deliver each time because we pay each time.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. You write: “Legend” is a very loosely used term in India. Anyone who acts for 2-3 decades ends up being called as a legend.
By that reckoning, Khushboo is already a legend and Namitha on her way to being one.
Though if you ask us, they are already legends for their legendary you-know-what. ๐
2. You write: A good actor should deliver each time because we pay each time.
We agree with the above.
But while an idli is just an idli, a vada just a vada and a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh (one of the great moments in movie history) this acting thing is so much more complicated. Perceived so much more subjectively and so differently by so many. Of course, we all agree on the greats like Marlon Brando or Laurence Olivier (on the stage) but when it comes to lesser lights like Kamal, Vimal, Bimal…..people tend to diverge so widely.
I would take ‘Goundamani’ as my legend over Kamal any day. I just love goundamani!!! ๐
