my ranking is:
1. Pizza
2. Soodhu Kavvum
3. NKPK

Off-beat films that speak the language of youth and portray life as we live it are the new chartbusters, says Sudhish Kamath
The twin successes of Nalin Kumarasamy’s noir comedy Soodhu Kavvum and Alphonse Putharen’s quirky thriller Neram has probably been the best news for Tamil cinema in a long time.
Simply because it has proved that the offbeat horror thriller Pizza and the unusual comedy Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom were not flukes of the season last year.
Over the last couple of years, brave, young and confident filmmakers such as Thiagarajan Kumararaja (Aaranya Kaandam), Karthik Subbaraj (Pizza), Balaji Mohan (Kaadhalil Sothappuvathu Yeppadi), Balaji Tharaneetharan (Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom) and now, Kumarasamy and Putharen have managed to break both form and formula by tapping into genres and sub genres rarely seen in Tamil cinema.
If Aaranya Kaandam introduced neo-noir rooted here, Karthik Subbaraj tapped into Hollywood horror constructs only to pull the rug from under your feet. While Balaji Mohan infused freshness into romance with a modern urban sensibility, Balaji Tharaneetharan brought the boys next door and their wisecracks to life on the big screen through a comic thriller of a bromance. If Nalin Kumarasamy mixed satirical elements in his dark noir comedy, Alphonse Putharen employed feel good in his light hearted comedy of co-incidences.
But what’s common to all these films spread across different genres?
They speak the language of the youth. Not filmy dialogues but casual banter you hear all around you. From the streets, campuses, offices and your own neighbourhood.
Ever since Venkat Prabhu’s street cricket comedy Chennai 600028 and C.S. Amudhan’s spoof Tamizh Padam paved the way for irreverence and anti-formula a few years ago, Tamil cinema has never been the same.
Though stars continued with the formulaic escapist entertainment on one hand and the other bunch of rural filmmakers continued to turn suffering into the new formula channelling poverty porn, a new reactionary cinema began to emerge as a response to formula.
Every stock situation would be countered with a cliché turned on the head. Every punch line would be reduced to a joke. Every filmy ingredient would be replaced with slices of life. And every hero would be replaced by the common man.
Young stars like Dhanush and now, Vijay Sethupathy have shown tremendous amount of commitment to avoiding anything remotely formulaic or heroic and have just played it straight. As the common man. Or the boy next door.
Brave production houses like Capital Film Works (S.P. Charan), Y Not Studios (S. Sashikanth), Cloud Nine (Dhaya Alagiri) and now Thirukumaran Entertainment (C.V. Kumar) have been backing radically different scripts over the last few years.
Anti-formula is the new formula.
Yet, it hasn’t been easy for a whole bunch of others because change is slow. It has been a long wait for many others.
Modern urban films like Milind Rau’s Kaadhal 2 Kalyanam and Venkyy’s Konjam Koffee Konjam Kadhal generated tremendous buzz and positive word of mouth in private screenings but are still waiting for the market to open up and smell the coffee.
Youth sells. Formula is out. Fresh is in.

இந்தியில் ரீமேக் ஆகிறது விஜயசேதுபதியின்சூதுகவ்வும்!
தென்மேற்கு பருவக்காற்று படத்தில் ஹீரோவாக அறிமுகமான விஜயசேதுபதி அதன்பிறகு நடித்த சுந்தரபாண்டியன், பீட்சா, நடுவுல கொஞ்சம் பக்கத்த காணோம், சூதுகவ்வும் என எல்லா படங்களும் ஹிட்தான். அதனால் தற்போது கோலிவுட் மார்க்கெட்டில் பேசப்படும் நடிகராகி விட்டார் அவர். தற்போதுகூட கைவசம் அரை டஜன் படங்களை வைத்துள்ளார் விஜயசேதுபதி. இந்த நிலையில், அவர் சமீபத்தில் நடித்து வெளியான சூதுகவ்வும் படம்
தமிழக திரையரங்குகளில் மட்டும் 6 கோடி வரை வசூல் செய்துள்ளதாம். குறைவான பட்ஜெட்டில் தயாரான படம் இவ்வளவு சம்பாதித்து கொடுத்திருப்பதால் விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியில் ஆழ்ந்திருக்கிறார்கள். இந்த சந்தோசமான தருணத்தில் இப்படத்தை இந்தியிலும் ரீமேக் செய்யப்போகிறார்களாம். இப்படத்தின் உரிமை இதுவரை எந்த தமிழ் படமும் விலைபோகாத அளவுக்கு அதிக தொகைக்கு விற்பனையாகி உள்ளதாம்.

அருண் பாண்டியனையும் சூது கவ்வியது
http://123tamilcinema.com/images/201...529030_1_1.jpg
ஒரு படத்தின் ஸ்கி*ரிப்டை முழுமையாக எழுதினால் எழுதியவருக்கு இரண்டோ ஐந்தோ லட்சங்கள் தருவார்கள். ஆனால் அதே ஸ்கி*ரிப்டை வேறு மொழிக்கு விற்றால்…?
சூது கவ்வும் படத்தின் ஒட்டுமொத்த *ரீமேக் ரைட்ஸை அருண் பாண்டியனும் ராக்லைன் வெங்கடேஷும் இணைந்து வாங்கியிருக்கிறார்கள். இதற்காக அவர்கள் தந்தது ஒன்றரை கோடி ரூபாய். சமீபத்தில் ஒரு மீடியம் பட்ஜெட் படத்தின் *ரீமேக் ரைட்ஸ் இவ்வளவு அதிக தொகைக்கு விலை போனதில்லை.
அரசியல், கட்சி என்று சினிமாவிலிருந்து காணாமல் போன அருண் பாண்டியன் இந்த *ரீமேக் ரைட்ஸை வாங்*கியதன் மூலம் மீண்டும் தனது சினிமா ட்ராக்குக்கு வந்திருக்கிறார்.
சூது கவ்வும் படத்தை தெலுங்கு, இந்தியில் தயா*ரிக்கும் முடிவில் இருக்கிறது அருண் பாண்டியன், வெங்கடேஷ் கூட்டணி.
1. Soodhu Kavvum
2. Pizza
3. NKPK
Pizza second time antha alavukku illa,konjam lengthy-aavum irunthuchu antha veettukkulla nadakkira scenes,for me NKPK given a short-film feel..
SK - thoroughly enjoyed it,except that fantasy heroine character everyone did their best, no Rofl moments but every frame had its moments keep me engaged,most importantly never get bored. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Not in defense for Sanchita Shetty, but I feel that she did a decent job. Eventhough she is not "my-kind-of-girl", I found her charming in few scenes notably during the intro, bar and "swim-wear" scene. She looked kind of vampy in her "police-mini-shorts". Also its quite challenging to perform when everybody (except one) are igorant about you.
Glad that you enjoyed the movie.
I should have put that lil more clearly,she did well but having that character didn't work for me... yes boss really enjoyed it.. :D realised that i have smiled more time for Bagalavan dialogues :D one of the best characterisation next to Vj sethupathi and MS Baskar.
had few really funny moments
good screenplay, but last 15 mins dragging.. as usual for a comedy film
who is the policeman Bramma? the one who played the role of Ranjith in Ajith's Billa? oru sizeah partha hat trick hero sivarajkumar madhiriye irukkan.. enneramum verappaa..

LoL
Talaash lady = Ghost
SK Lady = Split Personality
For the ghost in Talaash, you cannot look into originality, as all ghosts stories have the same baseline, its the angle that gives the difference and Talaash wins at it, but miserably fails in its naration.
Another important contrast is that :
- as I mentioned in my review of Talaash, Talaash is the "hallow-search-in-oneself" that opens doors for the lead character to see, listen and experience Ghost, which not only helps him find the answers for his materisalistic "search" but also the spiritual one.
- as desipherd this layered character in SK, its the depression that provokes an alternative to support oneself.
Glad that you enjoyed the humour in SK and for paying attention to "all conditions apply".
Nalan Kumarasamy struck gold with his very first directorial venture Soodhu Kavuum, a black comedy starring Vijay Sethupathy in the main lead.
In this interview, this engineer turned film-maker talks about the making of Soodhu Kavuum.
How did the idea of Soodhu Kavvum originate?
I had written a script that I felt was quite bad and was discussing it with my friend. I was in a very depressed mood. My friend consoled me by saying, I had already made seven short films and the script for a feature film would be there in one of my short films.
There is a character called Arumuga Prakasham in one of my short films, and my friend asked me, what if he became a minister in the end? He is the wickedest character in the story and in the end, he becomes the minister. That set me going. That was the beginning of Soodhu Kavvum.
But it is not the minister's son who is the central character in your film; it is the kidnapper. How did he come into the picture?
It is the minister's son that set the script rolling. All the other characters were added slowly as we progressed.
I wanted the minister's son to be kidnapped. Then, I thought, who could do that? I didn't want a stereotypical kidnapper or a villain. That was how Das, the man who was a failure as a kidnapper, got developed.
The story is plot driven and not character driven. So, as the story progressed, I went on adding characters. Somehow, many felt it was a character driven film.
You started with the minister's son getting kidnapped. How come the kidnapper became the hero of the film?
I wouldn't call the kidnapper the hero of the film. He got more attention because it was played by Vijay Sethupathy. If the role was played by a character artist or a comedian, nobody would have called him the hero.
The kidnapper has an imaginary girl friend throughout the film which nobody else sees. How did this idea to come to you?
When I wrote the script and showed it to my friends and my family, all of them told me that it was a very male-centric film, and would not run. The feedback was quite disappointing.
Many asked me to have a lover for the kidnapper which I did not want. I was very sure that there would not be a romantic angle in the film as I felt romance and songs would spoil the flow and mood of the film. Their worry was how can you make a film without a woman in any frame? They felt such a film would not run.
One day, suddenly the idea of an imaginary girl friend came to my mind. That was how she was created, as an imaginary girl friend whom nobody else can see except this guy.
Do you feel the film would have worked even without the female character?
Yes, I feel the film would have worked without her too. I don't think it would have been less entertaining without her.
I feel audiences don't always look for romance, love or women in a film. If it's a good film with a good story, audiences will like it. You don't need any formula to make a good film.
Why did you decide to make it a black comedy, a rarity in Tamil cinema?
I am a true lover of this genre. The plot can be quite serious but you can treat it like a comedy. I also watch a lot of black comedies, and most of my short films are also in this genre. It was a familiar genre for me. I didn't feel I was doing something new.
Does that mean you will stick to this genre?
No, I am basically a story teller. If I have a very serious subject, I will definitely not follow this genre.
I would say the story will decide what genre the film should be. I want to make all kinds of films.
When you made the film, were you expecting this kind of success?
I knew it would have a decent run but never expected this kind of response from the audience.
Did you have any difficulty in getting a producer for such a film?
Luckily, C V Kumar, the producer, made offbeat films like Attakathi and Pizza. He is always on the lookout for offbeat and innovative scripts. Only because of him, the film got made. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to make Soodhu Kavvum.
After I wrote the script, I told myself that I would show it to four or five producers and if all of them rejected it, I would write another one. That was my plan. Luckily, Kumar got interested in the script, and the film was made.
I would say that if you want good films to be made in Tamil, you need good producers. There are good directors and innovative ideas but we do not have good producers who understand good scripts.
Is it heartening for film-makers like you that films like Pizza, Naduvula Konjam.., Soodhu Kavvum, Neram etc are accepted by people?
People are always ready but producers are not. They still feel that people prefer only formula films.
Film-makers like you may start your career with an actor like Vijay Sethupathy but they always say their dream is to work with a star. Is it the same for you?
Yes. I would like to direct stars but their presence should not affect the story.
I am of the opinion that we shouldn't be averse to directing stars. But I would like to say that Vijay Sethupathy is a star now! If there was no Vijay Sethupathy, Soodhu Kavvum would have been a different film.
The truth is we needed him to bring in the audience for a film of this budget. If the budget is more, you need a bigger star to bring in the audience.
What is the best compliment you got for your film?
When other directors call and congratulate me, I feel very happy. Their compliments are very special.
Kamal Sir called us to his office and told me that I should stick to making these kinds of films with good scripts, and not go after big budget films.
