Still line is blurry.

In Hollywood there is arthouse films and then there is mainstream. Then, you have low budget mainstreat, that goes directo to DVD, and may get theatrical release outside of US.

Arthouse are normally lower budgetted,with supposedly good story, or some innovative concept, with supposedly good performance and lot of self-indulgence.

Mainstream films are out there to make big bucks, and they pull no stops to make sure that the flicks are crowd pleaser.

Now, we can't say the same here in TFI.


Classy films has strong storyline, with strong cast, and overall good direction. Mass is like what I mentioned about Hollywood mainstream, except in most occasions, the budget. They are more like direct to DVD flicks the Lalaland produces.

In TFI there are no dedicated, as far as leading stars are concerned, actors to either mass or class. Even VK has done some films that I would say quite classy, like Chathriyan and Tamizhselvam. Early in his career he had appeared in classy films, like Visu's Dowry Kalyanam.

Rajini and Kamal has been alternating from day one, except Rajini has been doing only mass after Talabathi. Sathyaraj too does the same. Same goes to the younger heroes.

I am losing track of what I was trying to say here. Mindla vanthuchu-na ezhuthuren. Damn, now I think this is weak thread.
