I respect this guy a lot. he was too conspicous not to notice after TI and KK.
very good screenwriter.
i liked his 7g.
though i felt it dragged in the end. the schizophrenia kinda stuff,the accident,the hospital scenes, the january madham song put me off.
but it had some poetic scenes...
the father-son angle,
the final shot,
and the scene where Soniya's mom places her hand on Ravikrishna...
unforgettable
KK was 'Gunaa' re-written for dhanush i thought.
TI parkalai...
what these guys need is consistency..
Pardon me....but I haven't seen any of his movies.!
I have heard good things about Kadhal konden, 7G, but somehow didn't find it ...running to the stores to get a DVD and watch.!
Maybe I am a moron.! Thanks for the post, I'll watch some of his movies soon.!
Kadhal Konden - I don't like that guy dhanush.!
good post, siddharth... short and sweet. I liked his 'Kathal kondein' very much. If he has shortened '7G RC' with some more watchable scenes, I would have liked it much better that what I perceived after seeing the movie. Still, it was a realistic movie.
