Zap_Brannigan Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The actual promos for the movie looks pretty cool, and from whatever videos that have been released the CGI is pretty good and state of the art. Given the budget and director Shankar's technical acumen, you can be guaranteed that this would be the first really good sci-fi movie on Indian celluloid. Same was said for Anniyan and Sivaji (and other non-shankar movies like Dasaavatharam). Technically, they were all horrible movies. CGI is balls even compared to low budget hollywood movies. 190 crores is around 40 million dollars. District 9 was made with 30 million dollars. Even if you remove the salary of 1.5 million to Ash and 2.5 to AR rahman, that still leaves 35+ million for just the movie. Will the CGI be as good? In the trailer, it looks horrible. Shankar is done. Mudhalvan was his last good movie and even by then his vigilante storyline has run its course. Gentleman - Vigilante with Education motif Indian - Vigilante with corruption motif Mudhalvan - Vigilante with corruption motif Anniyan - Vigilante with corruption motif Siviaji - Vigilante with Education/corruption motif And Endhiran seems to follow the same "Vigilante with Education/corruption motif" storyline.

Before that, technically, some movies esp from Mani ratnam, Shankar,Kamal were brilliant. But since the dependence on CGI increased, something we are not good at, movie quality has gone down.

Ex- Angadi theru, which came out recently was an excellent realistic film portraying the lives of daily workers in big textile stores in chennai. You must watch it if you have not. Also i really loved Subramaniyapuram, it was really well made. And the ending was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like urban, light hearted movies like Michael Madana Kamarajan, Alai payuthe etc. Even movies you've mentioned drown in the sea of masala movies from Vijay, Vikram, ajith and even Surya and they dont come out often.

I never liked his movies much and always wondered why people liked his movies till i saw arunuchalam in a theater. Its like being part of a match winning moments of an Indian cricket match in the stadium...all 3 hours of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No acting skills- just cheap tricks Nobody ever said he was an actor. not even Rajini himself, yet he is survived and ruled the industry for over 25 years. Its the man we adore..not the actor.
