Now days tamil movie names have became more like a english movie title. Such as FIVE STARS, TRILL, MILITRY, PLUS, PLUS, YOUTH....etc..etc...etc.
Some of the movie titles does not suits the story of the pic, even for the rcent movie jeans also. any comments?

  I think it's Ok if the English Title best suits the theme of the film. But most of the films don't . I think the directors have 'glamorous addiction' to the english titles.
  
  By the way, Giving the title just as the name of the hero itself like Sathya, Sethu, Sree, Bhathri, Ramana,Veera... so many..It shows the lack of creativity of the directors. Even Malayalam directors like Fazil, Priyadarshan give good Tamil names like Kadhalukku Mariyathai, Kanukkul Nilvau, Chiraichalai, En Mana Vanil..
  
  Earlier, Directors used to give the names to boost the image of the actors giving the name like Mannan, Thalapathy, Ejaman, Koolikaran(!!!),Mannathy mannan, Sahakala Vallavan.
  
  If the film is not dealing with any historical personal like Gandhi or Veerapandiya kattaboomu or V.O.C or any personal even like Veerappan.. its not worth to give the hero's name to the title of the film.

  When the entire film is about boosting an actor's image, why not the title? what paavam did it do to be left out.. Let it also enjoy the punniyam of playing a role in boosting the actor's image..
  
  And I don't accept the argument that only great personalities deserve the right of having a film named after them. Even an ordinary person may have that right.
  
  And all talk about English names spoiling Tamil culture is nonsense.. Before talking about the film field, each Tamil parent should spend time with their children in the house and teach them good Tamil (even if they are living in TN.) Everybody sits in front of the stupid mega serials and neglect the child. How will Tamil culture grow in them? And then irresponsibly they blame the films and TV of spoiling the young generation.
