Don't compare PV to Omkara.

In short: Omkara is a fascinating story, scrumptiously narrated and well crafted. PV is crafted with the climax with an (blatant)excuse of a cliched childhood romance and family feud! It just pales in comparison. But that said, the film had an impact. I understand why the jury fell for it. Even, I fell for it. But I have to watch it again to see how cleverly disguised and devised Ameer was.

About Omkara's acting - Heck, Kareena, Vivek oberoi, and Bipasha basu could express and play their characters!

And what more, the film's cinematography, music, nuances, etc just knocks off PV! Neither does it flaunt about dealing with a rural 'issue' (while fiddling with it). So, whichever way you look at it, Omkara is the winner.

But...but...I'm glad PV won. Now would Thamizh directors get some inspiration for making films which doesn't have to stick to the routine 'formula'!

And yes, Jury could tell us why they chose Priya mani. Maybe they found her expressions to be good. I was irritated because there was an inconsistency in Muthazhagu's behaviour!
