Nov, are u serious abt watching appalam?

[Ifroham4]

"Support Local Talends" is NOV's motto

[Ifroham4]

Why not guys? At the most I lose a couple of bucks. The promos look ok.

After having survived movies like thamizh padam I think I can come thru Appalam.

[radikal]

Go for it NOV! I watched the malay version- seriously, not bad
well, at least i laughed at all the right places
If the film is anything like the malay version, then I feel you would probably find it enjoyable too

Puriyila. Though been here sometimes, some HUB-speak confuse me. Enna padam athu?

Anti = viruddh
Hill = giri

@Plum..
Viruddha - old/aged
giri - hill

OldHill or AgedHill is the right translation..

@Jai, Anti-ngaradhum oru vidhathula sari-nudhaan thonudhu. Contrariety is a close relative of Anti. But most common use of virutham is a kind of verse AFAIK (mayil virutham, etc).

விருத்தம் [ viruttam ] , anything circular , a circle , வட்டம் ; 2 . a kind of verse ; 3 . contrariety , வேறுபாடு ; 4 . old age , மூப்பு ; 5 . antiquity , பழமை

//While trying to get the meaning for Virutham, I stumbled upon the word 'viruththa saethanam'. Never knew we had a Tamil word for circumcision //

VK is an MLA of vrudhachalam and the name of the pilim is also another name of this place. The sthala deity of vrudhachalam is "Virudhagireeswarar" and his name is shortened colloquially to "Virudhagiri" in thamizh. Here shiva is set to have assumed the form of an old man to taunt Parvathi who was doing penance.
So Virudha - in this context means old..

Nagaram - ok

movie about a rowdie, who tries hard to live a normal life with a wife and a kid, but he is used by his friend for criminal actions, will his dream about a wife and kid become true...

about performances:

Sundar c , has a sole expression througout to movie, but he is not loud and jarring like former movies, which is a relief. Anuja better scope for her in this movie than in SMS, she did her job well. After long time i found vadivelus comedy pretty funny. esp in 1st half. Bose venkat deserves mention to, bloody nice as a corrupt cop.

music and bgm pass, S. Thaman did good job.

This movie indicates where Sundar C, is at his best, he made good movies in past that you could enjoy. I hope he keep doing that....

MYNAH - brilliant movie, except for the boring beginning, and the atrocious ending.

[Lillie_Steins]

...And the mundane middle-nu solli irundhA complete damagaeA irundhirukkum

[S.T.D.]

sorry plum, I should have elaborated.
I hate the stupid young love from age eight business, which is becoming rampant these days.
I also dislike that just becos a guy supports a girl financially, she must marry him.
I also dislike intensely when children bad mouth thier parents no matter what the situation.

So, with such a heavy baggage, the beginning didnt catch my fancy.

Once past that, the movie carried on marvelously, that I even feared that it will overtake AT for best film of the year.

The bus scene was enough to keep me at the edge of the seat.

And then the climax totally cinematic and with the intention of earning audience sympathy

[Beerinkol]

Mandira Punnaghai - a different movie

story about a guy who is different minded and does bad things, he falls in love with a girl, he is insecure about her because she reminds him of his mum, he tries to push her away because he dont wanna end up like his dad, but the girl tries very hard to convince him about her love... will she succeed or not...

about performances

without knowing karu pazhaniappan, I think this character suits him well, as a depressive guy who drinks and thinks odd and speaks odd. meenakshi proves she is more than a glamdoll in the movie, she acts well, and got enough scope to show her talents. santhanam is there, not funny as usual, but his one liners are still outstanding at moments.

the best part of the movie are dialogues, many dialogues which has a valid point.

songs are good IMO, BGM suits city based story like this, Vidysagar is back in town with a bang (Vidyasagar is also main reason for me to watch this movie, have watched almost all tamil movies where he has been MD)

Mandira Punnaghai is a very bold attempt and I like the way its presented, cudos to Karu Pazhaniappan for the outcome.
