actually it is not a rajni movie at all, it is suffering from the producers or directors compulsion to project rajani wherever he is not required. If at all such a compulsion to show rajni exists, he should have played the barbers role, while the superstars role could have been played by another contemporary actor in a truly guest role which then would have had a more convincing story telling. Instead of concentrating on showing the many difficulties of having a star as your friend,Instead of bringing out the character of the barber more strongly in relation to his peers in the village, the movie concentrates on rajani's glorification and the grandeur of the projects associated with him in a make beleive attempt to cash in on Rajani's name alone. In the absence of good naration, proper characterization, It appears that the movie was shot in a hurry and looks more like a documentary called : A Few days with Rajnikanth in India,: Nowhere in the world will one indulge in self glorification and self appeasement as has been done by the superstar in Kuselan.
dude.. are you nuts? a bombay, roja or indian are quite pathectic movies whn compared to the top notch movies in malayalam... try getting dvd's of movies like anantharam, kodiyettam, elipatthayam, thoovanamthumpikal, thazvaram, thaniyavarthanam ete etc.. the list is endless.. most of the movies mentioned here w'd not be known to self hyped creatures like you, but serious movie watchers all over the world w'd know it...
directors are the ones along with the story and screenplay thats the embryo of a movie.. no other indian language other than bengali can boast of directors of equal stature in malayalam..
directors like adoor, shaji, padmarajan, kg george, john abhraham, shyamaprasad, murali nair, are way too ahead of top guys in tamil like maniratnam or k balachander...
so go learn abt real cinema before posting idi oti c posts..
to understand the quality and range of malayalam cinema, u just need to see all teh 14 movies of padmarajan... a sensible movie goer w'd be taken aback by the sheer genius of padmarajan...
do accept the fact that recently our commercial movies hav had no quality at all.. but check out parallel movies like arimpara, ore kadal or naalu pennungal.. Tamil and Bollywood movies are still to reach the zenith attained only by malayalam or bengali movies...
since uve mentioned roja, bombay and indian.. i need to guess ur also another pseudo intellect for whom maniratnam and ar rehman are the greatest born intellects in world cinema...

well dudes i agree malaylam movies are of good script chandramuki,keuselan,(i know only remade films). but most of them are never heard of untill you name them in this forum to the southie population atleast. but the low budget movies dont bring much publicity. both telgu and tamil industry are the true pillars of indian cinema which have often release meaningful & masaladhaar fims. kerla needs more money to invest and defends its originality. do tht, first stop watching shakeela movies okbaa!
RE:Re: Sathiya Narayanan
by Ram Mohan on Aug 08, 2008 07:55 PM
yes, tamil and telugu are true pillars only in commercial sense, but the artistically malayalam movies are the true pillars of indian filmdom along with bengali... we cant invest money and compete with bolly, kolly or tolly... thats a truth... as far as shakeela movies are concerned, dude the dubbed versions amke money in tn and ap more than in makes in kerala.. and the producers are mostly tamilians or goltis with all the cast non mallus.. so dont try to ridicule

Hello Mr. Fool Don't you think that Malayalam movies are the greatest Mr.Ignorant becz you have not watched any tamil movies i guess please watch 7G Rainbow or Pithamagan or Basha or Nayagan they are some of the greatest movies of all time. By they way in malayalam they make movies in such a small budget that there is no Energy, Enthusiasam or any power in the movie take the example of Manichitrathazhu which was remade as Chandramukhi you will notice the Big Difference (the movie ran for 1000 days). We TAMILIANS respect one and all but your comments shows your culture and poor background.

shivakumar annai, if chandramukhi is a hit, tat shows how pathetic tamil taste is. it rfeally busted my balls. one would b surprised to see how a good venture gone ugly. everytin right frm direction was terrible. jothikaas actin will still itch any true movie goers. its better not to speak abt rajni. and still best tamil actor and actress award went to them. tat itself shows how much ur quality stooped. tat was pure shit compared to the worst mallu movie. PS: if u dont understand malayaalam pls dont criticise. we mallus watch tamil movies and we can understand it unlike guys like u. its people like u who encourages shit movies like chandramukhi makes watchin tamil movies a nightmare by applauding rajni and vijay kanths bullshits that make even europians laugh the shit out of them. pls grow up and encourage actors like kamal, vikram, prakash raj, surya instead of pathetic ajit, vijay, srikanthetc etc. the former ones are truly gifted and the latters really need actin clases. if u hav any doubt just watch kireedom in both languages and if u still hail ajits one then pls stop watchin movies

in this remade films of chandrmukhi(original in Malayalam)i think it was very well acted by late Abhinaya in kannada.vidy balana also good but comes only after Abinaya and mallu actress. I was laughing out of my stomach when waching tamil movie

I was reall y surprised that Jyotika was given award for that awful acting.. What she wasa doing- just rolling of eyes. Vidya balan was far better than her (i shud say good) in hindi version
RE:RE:Re: Sathiya Narayanan
by oceans_eleven on Aug 09, 2008 12:05 AM
everyone knows how pathetically that movie (Chandramukhi) was remade.. Agreed that tamil movie has world wide audience because the moey is more there(in tamil and telugu and hindi) and they can afford to release the movies all over the world.. Not because the quality is that great.. Not many movie industry in India has that much money power for a world wide release.. Eg: Dont tell me that Kabhi alvida na kehna was a great movie because a world wide hit..

sandeep dude, hav u ever seen a gud movie. u may like movies in which rajni does a pirates stunt or balakrishna doin a MI2 with bare hands, and tat woud ur quality movies. if tats ur standard, sorry mate, ten mallu movies r pathetic
A Quality film can be in any language. It could be Marati,Bengali,Tamil,Telegu,Malayalam etc. I have seen good and bad films in most of these languages. The story line of "Kuselan" is interesting as the malayalam version of this was well made. In Tamil its been dramatized more as the audience expects this. Regional language films are made to the liking of the people in that region and it will be unfair to put them down. A film like Robot will be more to the liking of cine audience in general so lets all hold our comments(positive and negative) for that. Expect some good work as i dont think Shankar will let us down. At the end of the day a good director can make even the weakest of scripts a great movie and extract the best out of a actor.
Kulsen could be a slow pick up to become above average moive at box office. Its a low budget movie and either it is not a typical Rajni picture made for masses. Only the poor barber character remains in you even after finished watching the movie.
So Tamil and South Indi Haters believe, they got a chance. So how far is 'Singh is King'? Aksayy is ok but the filmi bollywood is still adamant not to come of that filmi world. Kuslen is far better, realistic and comparably well made.

by vimalan sadhasivam on Aug 08, 2008 07:48 PM
do you know how much Rajini charged for his guest appearance? its double the amount the he got for the full length Sivaji..then how come you say its a low budget movie ?
RE:Kulsen could pick up slowly...
by Ashish on Aug 08, 2008 07:47 PM
Just see the openings of Singh is King dude. Go to the message board and u wont see anybody talking rubbish about a south actor/industry/film. But its a fashion with south indians, if a south movie does well, you would abuse hindi films/actors and say they r useless, and when a south film flops, u say south haters would be happy. And its even more pathetic for u to say that because you belong to our generation which is supposed to be open and broad minded, which is totally opposite to what your message above suggests

Its only soem northie ppl like leaving ur forum and coming to south forum and abusing our actors..and u get the same treatment to ur stars also ... its is only u coming to a south forum and starting the fight..first keep ur all ur holes shut and save ur bolly stars
RE:Kulsen could pick up slowly...
by Ashish on Aug 10, 2008 01:47 AM
U can abuse hindi actors as much as you wish, im not some actor freek like you who would start fuming if someone abuses some actor. And as i said, i dont need your permission to visit any page, there is no such thing here as north forum or south forum, neither does abusing an actor make me feel happy like you. You are just a narrow minded parochial guy with a condescening attitude towards people from outside of your state.
the main reason they did not go well is that the movie is marketed as rajni movie even thoug he comes only for 40 mins.. Rajni has done his part very well and he has made the climax amazing.. The producers has marketed the movie has a full rajni movie and the media hyped it and started comparing kuselan to sivaji .. sivaj is a full fledged rajni movie and where in kuselan he is only a guest role..so cant expect the same rajni wat we saw in sivaji ..
To me the movie is fantastic. There is nothing wrong in the movie. Are people expecting fights, blood & full of sex in the movies. I don't know. To me I liked this movie more than Shivaji & Dasavatharam.
so finally a flop for Rajni..to put it politely..lol. Now we can be rid of all the useless Rajni hyping posts on rediff and news item on news channels.

actually this is not a full and full rajini starrer he plays only a side role in the film and that it to help out a friend...
u seem to a be a rajni hater...i do not know why...
wait for his robot to release and then see the rajni mania...
please bear in mind i am also not a rajni fan...but i admire him for his simplicity and down to earth attitude you cannot think of any bollywood stars like him...the way they show him in the films and his actual personality he is completely bald and black and comes as he is without any make up...poor old devanand still wears sweathers and scarfs to protect his age...people like him are always attached to their image and cannot face with reality that they have become old...rajni is different and that is why he has such a fan following...
