pleads to the *director - the best of the lot ofcourse

the scene where he refuses to act as policeman and uses a mush to hide his face

"yarum saapadu illama kashtapadakoodadhu..ellarum nalla irukanum" scene

"naan verum nadigan thane" scene

hello mr.edhirkatchi

"arrest panna"

romance with his first wife

"ungalukku ellam paayasam kudukka poren"

this is one fantabulous performance

Nov,

Vikram could be updated for our time. It'd be believable. A lot more technology, and lot less wire-work for Kamal. Make it more cerebral, and the villain really nasty (in case of Sathyaraj, cool and nasty).

As for Iruvar...yeah, I thought Lal and Prakash Raj was good. But as Joe mentioned, story was "nuni-pull meeythal". A lot more could have been explored.

But ippo intha kathai-kku yaar nadippaangga? In my book below 40 years old moonu peeruthaan good actors-a theriyuthu. Athula oruthan too young.

I second this.

NOV's not gonna like this one too http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...n_rolleyes.gif

i want Asuran Part 2... (predator II, crossover series ellam vanthirichipa)

Films That You'd Like To See A Sequal And Remake To
 

This has been done before, but let's do it again.

What do you think? Its inevitable, this will become a trend no thanks to bankruptcy of ideas in TFI. So, share here which film you like a sequel to be made, or remade and why?

Sequel

Vikram.
It was only one shot. Only time we actually saw a secret agent, instead of cops (which our 007, Jai Shanker, played). Pay Kamal big bucks to play Vikram again and rope in Sathyaraj (never mind he died in the original...or did he really?).


Talabathi.
Same Manirathnam, same Rajini, but new conflict. Make this bigger, more explosive, and when was the last time we saw a fiery Rajini? It's about time.

Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupadu.
I heard there were sequels to the original Malayalam flick. End of story.

Maman magal.
Same Satharaj, same gounder, same manivannan, new issues.

Anbe Sivam
Somehow I felt the original film did not finish. There was no closure. What's next for Sivam?


Remake

Iruvar.
No beating around the bush this time. Use real name & real incident. Maintain the friendship premise.


That's all I can think of right now. What about you guys?

The bad thing in sequel is that it spoils the original movie's flow and becomes a mediocre result. Take for example Matrix.

None of the sequels could match the original.

Take Anbe Sivam for example. They might mess up the story by trying to reason why somethings were done and what's next for Sivam / Madhavan/ Somethings are better left unsaid/

I voted yes though http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif (Sequels are very rare in TFI and would like to see one from a noted director to see how he handles it)

Vikram for sure... in fact I heard Kamal and Sujatha was indeed planning it as a series but dropped it when this one bombed

AnbE Sivam was closed.... the what next enge sellum indha paadhai with the karpanai walking stick and all is what makes the ending poignant.

One thing I'd like to see is a Pink Panther-ish movie with Balram Naidu in the lead . Call me juvenile but I find "Fletcher jeep-u spotted-A ?" incredibly funny..

Yes, Balram is classic Kamal creation. He deserves a series of his own (like Kameswaran, I guess).

Adada, Spinoff-nu seerthukka maranthutten.

True so many examples. In fact most sequels are either inferior or pure crap. But there are good ones too, Godfather, Alien, Terminator few examples.

Vikram? I wish the film never happened. I will never forget the embarrassment I had to go through when I took my non-Indian friends for the film during elections night. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...on_redface.gif

Thalabathy - Based on Mahabharatha, there may be 100s of sequels. Not a bad idea esp since Mammooty character is already dead. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/icon_lol.gif

Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupadu http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../icon_cool.gif

Maman magal http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...frightened.gif Satyaraj and Goundamani are spent forces (were they ever one?) Definitely not interested.

Anbe Sivam http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/boldred.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo.../boldlblue.gif I'd love more of this. Same team (minus the gundu pls) Would love to hear more of Sivam's philosophies.

Iruvar http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/yes.gif choose better actors for the roles!

BTW, Japanil Kalyanaraman must be the reason why sequels died a natural death before it could even take of. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/yessir.gif

noone other than lal could have possible done that good....it suited him like a glove.

other actors prakash raj,nasser,gouthami everyone did quite good.

Aanazhagan II

Hopefully next big break for Prasanth..

I saw Raikkonen's name in the last post column and knew it was going to be Prashanth http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/ymlol.gif

Unfortunately not the funniest post in the page. That one is:

padam release aayirukadhu..paravaalaya?

yenga..maniratnatha nirandharama bombayku anuparadha mudivu paniteengala?

USV should be remade
The original was actually pretty bad IMO
A cross country on-the-trail thriller will be eminently watchable

other actors were ok in Iruvar. I found Mohanlal dreary. what is this with the fandom? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...n_rolleyes.gif

Iruvar could do with a new face for MGR role. And most definitely it needs subtle humour. Mani needs not take himself too seriously.

in any case, I still think Iruvar is a very good film.

I thought Kamal sort of did that with Dasa. The result being just as...

I became his fan after watching iruvar - not an exaggeration at all..

After that i watched lots mallu movies just for him even without understanding language
