Usually when I criticize any Gautham Menon,Selvaraghavan or Kamal Hasan movies...The pseudo intllectual fans jump at my throat telling me "You have no knowledge in cinema","You must be a vijay fan" etc etc....
BTW,I hate Vijay's mass movies...The general public are now in a mindset that being a Gautham's fan is cool and urban...But all he does is have a good cinematography and inject lot of English dialogues....
His dialogues in VA and VTV were so artificial,like a child reciting in a school play....and just because Simbu cuts his hyperacting doesnt mean it is masterful acting....
Just like Big FM Balaji says,watch the movies for the money you give and dont start judging people and pointing others just because they like or dont like the movie which is of your taste...
Every movie has its own critics,if someone criticize the movie...Look at its face value,if you feel its not right,just leave it...Dont start accusing others

tamil cinema has the best technicians in india. best music director (AR Rahman), best director (Mani Ratnam), great cinematographers like PC Sriram, Santosh Sivan and Rajiv Menon, Directors/ Producers from Bollywood would give an arm and a leg to work with Tamil Cinema technicians. On top of it the Tamil movie folks are supposed to be much more disciplined and professional than Bollywood. In this case if Santhanam gets more applause its because of the quality of the rest of the movie and not tamil cinema in general.

there was time , when we made fun of bollywood mives.. that was say 15- 20 years back.. now the fact is bollywood and gone much ahead of us and during this period weve gone backwards.. many creative ideas, offbeat movies do come out of bollywood, while we still churn out boy loves girl, good wins over evil, kuthu songs kind of crass commercial entertainers..
