  All these horror/Thriller genre are now hot in bollywood,and that's because of the successful 'Bhoot'.They have started a dozen in this genre.What else they will do?,Saaya,hawa ,etc,etc...but very soon they will return to all those lavish,crowded marriages,costumes weighing killos,or Newzealand,Switzerland,Designer-wear duets in foreign cars and bikes.Bollywood will spend crores together with a crap story(Eg:Devdas,The Hero).But we can do more meaningful films with less budgets.
  In my perspective all the problems that tamil industry faces today are due to their inspiration from bollywood,leaving out the script concentrating on foreign duets with high budget has caused all these.This is high time the industry changes its direction to more different and meaningful stories.Bala,Thangar baachan,Karu.Pazhaniapan do show some promising sign. Lets see.
  Raghu also has a good point,our actors need to have some dress sense and also should choose the roles that matches their age and appearance.In Bolywood Amitabh is doing roles which fits his age and his performance is much better than earlier.Nowadays he is seen in different and challenging roles more than before,but what is the case here?.We are in pathetic situation to watch Vijayakant in redshirt white vesti dancing with soundarya amidst oranges,apples,etc,etc.This trend should change.But the present day young heroes look and dress good.

  the term "looks" and "good dress sense" is a relative term. for a person in a village , yellow trousers and green shirt might look attractive,but it may not for a guy in chennai. similarly , the drees sense of chennaites might look idiotic for mumbaiwallas. and the mumbaiwallas dress sense,fashion might look stupid for a fashion craze city like New YOrk. Even those fashion craze New York ppls dress sense and fashion will look idiotic for ppl in Italy.
  
  so,dress sense and other fashion stuff craps and will lead you nowwhere. instead focus on making movies with sense.

  The present batch of guys are all ok, both in personality and acting.The only guy who should be banned from acting in tamil movies is Viyakanth and he is not even a tamil.

  Yes ,I agree with you Kdot,but these guys should opt for the roles they deserve and is it digestable to see vijayakanth dancing with heroines half his age?.He should do roles as he did in films like Devan without singing duets,and that's possible only if the whole industry looks for different stories and break these formula genres.
