The below discussion show how good and growth the tamil movies had so far..
Bollywood is our whole indian stardom..
now all are comparing with one regional indsutry (tamil)..

Is anybody in this forum, ready to discuss Tamil Vs any other regional movie industry??

so the conclusion shows Tamil movies are equal or ateast better than Bolly

Logic is: dont discuss bollywood Vs tamil movies.
bcs tamil movies ar just a regional language..
than talk abt the growth and goodness..(even mallu and telugu movies are good)

baskar...ok, here it is... if you ask me i normally watch English, Korean, French, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Mallu and Telegu movies...my all time fav movies belong to English and French and few Korean movies [they are bit Gory though].. In india, i like selected Hindi movies, Tamil and Kannada movies...it is not practical to say who is better than whom...Hindi - they have more reach than Tamil movies so they do better collections... it is easy to criticise Dhoom or Krish, but comon, didnt we like Terminator or 300?? i guess it was quite decent effort from them..in south, Tamil industry did well in 2006....kannada there was a great movie - Mungaru Male.....it is we sit and fight here he he.. look at our stars... Amitabh does guest appearance in southern movies and AR Rehman, Maniratam, Madhavan, Siddarth go to bollywood and take roles..so..let us stop comparing yaar... let us enjoy good movies....

dear sumit respond logically would you care to live in a country that punishes your children for belonging to some imaginary caste? Think of the future of your children. Here caste and language are more important than your ability and Indianness. Do non-Tamils ever want to live in Chennai, do non-bengalis ever want to live in Kolkata ? we are mentally divided. We already behave like diffrent countries

Shankar mega hit film!
by raghu nath on Apr 02, 2007 03:44 PM  | Hide replies

Hey All.....This is an interesting hot information about SUPERSTAR of this latest film Shivaji. This is to bring to their kind information. Those who critizise tamil films!
Yes

Indian Film Industry is eagerly waiting for April 12 2007
Reason?


It's release date of Rajnikanth's latest movie SHIVAJI

Some Facts:

Rajnikant's Remuneration = 2* Remuneration of (Amitabh Bachan Abhishek Bachan Hrithik Roshan Aamir Khan Shah Rukh Khan)
Releasing worldwide in 27 countries on same day with about 2900 theatres. (Earlier Record-- Krrish in 14 countries in 1200 theatres).
India -2200 theatres
China-211 theatres
Japan-130 theatres
Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong-100 theatres
Saudi Countries-100 theatres
USA-80 theatres
UK-70 theatres


And this release is only behind Casino Royale which is released in 36 countries in 3200 theatres.
Rajnikant's Remuneration in his last 3 movies:
Baba---- 15 crores
Chandramukhi-----25 crores
Shivaji-----40 crores
Rajnikant is only behind Jackie Chan in terms of remuneration in Asia.

how does this help? i think everyone should back off from discussing about rajinikanth

non-tamilians: respect the fact that the tamilians consider rajinikanth as their superstar

tamilians: rajini is superstar to you as much as amitabh is to others. please dont indulge in one-upmanship

yeaaaa!!hurray!i shall definitely watch it here in UK.70 theaters in UK is big thing.i am staying in one of the bigger cities in UK so am sure it should be screened here as well.
hope you have produced facts.i watch Rajni movies for comedy.i feel relaxed after watching his movies.i dont know y..but i admire his stardom.and yes am not from North India,b4 you jump into conclusion.but am i do critisze many of rajni movies.i think vijyakanth is rubbish.vijay is stupid.all vijay movies are remakes and all action in the movie is a comic stunt.yes i do agree surya and madhavan are good.i like watching their movies.
waiting for shivaji as well.coz its shankars movie with Rajni.

Mr Sensible,

Request you not to generalize your opinion based on your experience. I have traveled abroad a lot - and I have never introduced myself as a 'Tamilian' unless and until asked specifically for it. I have always introduced myself as an 'Indian'.

Thanks,

sensible - i hope you are going to reflect the nickname

the entire chain of conversation and defense of tamil film industry came when someone wrote against tollywood and against rajinikanth (refered to him as BUS CONDUCTOR). i am a non-tamilian living in chennai. i dont think tamilians view themselves as any different than other parts of india (i lived there too). if you dont agree - why is there anyone refering themselves as Mallus, Telugus, marathis, biharis, bongs, punjabis, gujaratis. if calling someone refering to himself from tamil nadu is wrong then the entire nation is at fault.

i appreciate your point on hollywood though. let us not compare our works to hollywood. we are differnt.

Mr Sharma,

This is in reference to your comment in this thread regarding our national language.
It is you who need to check the fact.
The fact is that India does not have a National Language. So - you would understand that Hindi is not our national language.
As a true patriot please read our constitution first http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/welcome.html
.

Thanks,
Venkatesh.

Just because ignorant brain dead illiterates like you that "hindi binds" does not mean that it really does. Ashared sense of national identity and political loyalty is good enough.And expecting others to speak your language has no decency or civlised .f*** o** you dirty low level scum

Dear Stranger,

My stand on National Language is that - the best candidate for the National Language should evolve and should be not be pushed by a Government.

If you think that - having a different opinion amounts to the division/disintegration of the country - it has nothing to do with 'our hypocrisy', but a lot to do with your immaturity.

There is nothing wrong in people thinking very high of themselves - what is wrong is 'looking down at others' which you chose to do in this message.

Cheers,
Venkatesh

I am very happy that Veyil is selected for Cannes.
I will be more happy if Veyil will not get any Filmfare or Indian International award because both these awards were given only to people who climbs from building to building, going round the trees with 2 or more heroines and the peolple who wear jeans, cargos, etc.

movies are even more vulgar than Hollywood. The disgusting pelvic thrusts of the leading ladies of Indian movies are even more pathetic than the most contrived sex scenes of Hollywood movies. Just look at some of the regressive attitudes shown in movies
1) It is ok for 60-70 year old guys to romance 20 year old ladies
2) It is ok if a male has an affair with women, not so for the lady
3) It is not ok for the lady of the house to work outside.
4) It is ok for a male to have more than 1 wives and we blame muslims for it.

sorry I dont watch blockbuster special-effects movies all that much. But we do try to copy and make a grand special effects laden movie which are total duds like Dhoom,Krrish etc. Moreover Hollywood movies are short and Indian movies have an interval which breaks the momentum of the narrative. Why dont you watch hollywood classics like Godfather,American Beauty,Babel BloodDiamond etc and then compare. I have also seen some good Tamil movies too like Thevar Magan, Nayagan etc, but such movies are few and far between. Most of the stuff churned out by Indian film industries is just escapist stuff
