Three things South Indian cinema can teach Bollywood - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**tgs** · 12-23-2006, 04:29 AM

Completely agree with points 1 and 2.....but not point 3......

bollywood is way ahead of us in terms of music......ARRahman,Himesh,Pritam,S-E-L, Vishal, Jatin-Lalit(Fanaa) - this list is much powerful than what we have in tamil.... .....now, for those who are going to ppoint fingers at pritam for copying - dont throw stones sitting in a glass house....

Also, in terms of unique scripts, non-gethu movies, cinematography, choroeography - they are much ahead.....Tamil is ahead only in terms of acting skills.......

ilayaraja and arr are better than anyone i would say!

harris,yuvan are doing decent job!...tamilnadu rock in music

why do u add arr in their list ...

?

**Lt_Apple** · 12-23-2006, 04:31 AM

In bollywood just for music...only three names comes to my mind..ARR,Shankar Ehsaan Loy(like to like for vidyasagar) and now Jatin-Lalit(Vijay Anthony)...the rest are average or repititive

**brraverishhh** · 12-23-2006, 04:32 AM

Shankar Ehsaan Loy(like to like for vidyasagar)

and jatin-lalit compared to vijay antony

**doctorzlo** · 12-23-2006, 04:36 AM

I can't imagine a film like Maqbool or Omkara being made here.
I haven't seen Hum Tum but Saif Ali Khan was terrific in Omkara.
Do we have the acting talent bench strength here?

The thing is we dont LACK talents here. We have a bunch of talented youngsters (maddy, surya, bharath etc..,) We just lack good scripts. And the writers should be BOLD with their scripts.

**TorryJens** · 12-23-2006, 04:36 AM

Plz sumone clarify,, Which category ARR belongs to? kollywood or bollywood or hollywood? ethuku thaniya oru thread open pannunga pa!

**Lillie_Steins** · 12-23-2006, 04:38 AM

i think rite now he is recognised as a all indian MD...nope not hollywood..ARR is yet to do a hollywood movie..just english stage plays or musicals....ARR can be classified on the same lines as IR...indian MD with international reach..but both their roots are at kollywood

**Slonopotam845** · 12-23-2006, 04:39 AM

And musically I would say we are WAY AHEAD of bollywood. We have ARR, YSR, HJ etc.., aint these guys talented ?? And once in a while we get to listen to the genius of IR.

Lets take superhits of bollywood this year:

RDB, Guru -- ARR (Of course the quality of both the albums were unmatchable with any damn tamil album released this year. But ARR scores in both bolly and kolly)

Fanaa -- 1 or 2 songs, nothing earth-shattering

Don, Dhoom 2, Krish -

KANK -- Again 1 or 2 songs

S.A Rajkumar wud have become a real sensation if he had scored for BW movies with his "lalallalallalala" and "ahahhahahahhaha" songs and bgms!

BW really missed their man! Avanga taste-ku sirpi, SAR thaan correcta eruppango!

**doctorzlo** · 12-23-2006, 04:46 AM

But script/performace-wise Bolly is way ahead of kolly. They make a LOT of meaningful movies than what tf industry makes

**Fegasderty** · 12-23-2006, 04:54 AM

Script: Fair point

Performance: Watch movies like maqbool/omkara/LRMB/RDB/Page3 etc.,

**doctorzlo** · 12-23-2006, 04:57 AM

Tamil Performance:watch vikram movies rt from sethu, surya rt from nandha, kamal rt from his birth!

**Lt_Apple** · 12-23-2006, 04:59 AM

surya is much much matured ...he is better than saif in imho...if saif can get for hum tum(right?) ...surya can get national award for pithamagan and perazhakan surely

**PhillipHer** · 12-23-2006, 04:59 AM

I think we are talking about contemporary movies. Lets just confine this to 2006. Hindi had OmkArA/RDB/LRMB. What did kolly come up with ?? Apart from pasupathy in veyyil and flashes of ajith's brilliance in varalaaRu there was NOTHING

u left out pudhupetai conveniently

**TorryJens** · 12-23-2006, 05:01 AM

TL: Saif was good in Hum Tum. Not NA worthy for sure and who the heck cares about NA which conviniently ignored shivaji ganesan?? Watch his omkara, brilliant!

**doctorzlo** · 12-23-2006, 05:01 AM

Danush's performance wasnt VERY good. Atleast I wasnt impressed

**Big A** · 12-23-2006, 05:03 AM

only 'chappa' guys claim Hindi films are better than Tamil films.
I've made it a point not to see Hindi films anymore .

IMO the best films are made in the Malayalam film industry.
