  OH MY GOD finaly someone who a grees with me.... ok everyone will have to agree with me that tamil movies when compared to hindi movies are absolute s h i t but in teh tamil industry any movie made by Mani rathnam, shankar and kathir ae good... if only they could all come together to make a movie... now that would be intersting... ti would be a super hit.. and notice how they all use A.R Rahman... bu trealy kathir is great too.. have you guys not seen kadhal desam? kadhalar dhinam? kadhal virus? they are all great. kathir shoudl deserave the rep they are getting to.

  That is enough man to show your taste..No wonder you think Hindi movies ,which still having club dance,birthday songs,stupid sentiments,nothing new ..are better than tamil cinema..
  
  have you heard about Thangar bachan,Cheran,bala,balumahendra etc..manirathnam is Ok .But kathir..ha ha..repeating his first movie 'Ithayam' again and again ..is a good director?..mmm..Ofcourse kaadalar dinam mathces with your hindi movies.

  Just a few years ago, I saw a Hindi movie on TV about tribal warfare, family feuds, etc. Although everything was exaggerated, I just ignored it and kept on watching it as this is always normal in all Indian Masala movie. Then one scene happened which made the whole movie lose it's credibility:
  There was a camel which the hero owned. This camel, in the last scene, rescued the heroin by untying her hands. Then ran all the way to its master and SPOKE IN HINDI. Yes! A talking camel in a 'serious' movie!! (This was not a comedy or a 'magic' movie). The the camel helped to kill the viilian's adi aal by crushing the man's head with it's hoof, then SPEAKING IN HINDI, saying "God has punished you".
  
  You see, even if Dhevar movies had smart animals, none of them spoke (except for parrots). But a talking camel....
  
  Granted that there are good Hindi movies out there (Lagaan was excellent, for eg), but this camel movie was done after Dhevar Magan, which means that recent Hindi movies are still bad.
  
  Talking camel!!! Whenever I'm down, I always think of this movie to cheer me up!
  
  Kadavule!
