As I replied to Balaji, if the climaxes were different, they may not have had such a big impact even on me.. The contrastingly different ending was the reason we get to think of the movie long after we saw it.Rajuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418250195928583761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132566958249473952005-11-21T15:25:00.001+05:302005-11-21T15:25:00.001+05:30Interesting way to twist the climax to a normal en...Interesting way to twist the climax to a normal ending... I believe those striking ends made them hits (Except 'Uyirae'!!)..

As Nitin said, it becomes Bala's trademark touch to end the movie tragically..<BR/>Nayakan was like a biography of a gangster, so it had to end with him, IMHO.<BR/><BR/>I havent seen Azhiyatha Kolangal.. <BR/>-----------------------------------<BR/><B>Nitin,</B> mm.. as I said to Vatsan about KP.. <BR/>Like in 'Satya' of Hindi, the gangster ends.. but a solace that Kamal's character is already old. When I watched the movie as a kid, I was also thinking like you but now when I think of it, it seems OK to me.. <BR/><BR/>Agree with you totally on Bala's movies.. <BR/><BR/>Moondram Pirai's ending was indeed spectacular but, what to do with the Kamal-fan syndrome?<BR/><BR/>I have watched KP many times but it is a very unique police movie.. As you said, Kamal was superb as a police officer.. I am looking forward to Vettaiyadu.. for a similar performance..<BR/><BR/>When i think of Kamal's police roles, he has surprisingly taken it once every 10 years:<BR/>1985 - Kaakhi Chattai<BR/>1995 - Kuruthi punal<BR/>2005- Vettaiyadu Vilayadu (though it would be released in 2006).<BR/><BR/>Kamal, Arjun, Gowthami, Nasser were all spectacular in that movie..Rajuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418250195928583761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132327451337598912005-11-18T20:54:00.000+05:302005-11-18T20:54:00.000+05:30i wouldn't change moondram pirai or uyires ending ...i wouldn't change moondram pirai or uyires ending - i think the movies worked coz of the ending - will think and come back for ;)Visithrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525994382867482657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132313369669142682005-11-18T16:59:00.000+05:302005-11-18T16:59:00.000+05:30Alternate hypotheses rejected !!Alternate hypotheses rejected !!Adaengappa !!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13771001669625103248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132290250211338172005-11-18T10:34:00.000+05:302005-11-18T10:34:00.000+05:30After that kamal and sridevi got married in "moond...After that kamal and sridevi got married in "moondram pirai"...Devilish Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623306861981207697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132287900011641352005-11-18T09:55:00.000+05:302005-11-18T09:55:00.000+05:30i am perfectly fine with most of the tragic ends, ...i am perfectly fine with most of the tragic ends, as it looks practical... <BR/><BR/>the things i would change would be situations where the hero and heroin would have no chances of being together and all of a sudden, things change and they get back... the story line would have been such that they will never have a chance of being together and one fight, or one song or a strech of breathless dialogues would get them together :-)... too many movies to name :-)NaiKuttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00115359976975903201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132281555302297792005-11-18T08:09:00.000+05:302005-11-18T08:09:00.000+05:30yeah, i agree with vatsan, kurudhi punal climax wa...yeah, i agree with vatsan, kurudhi punal climax was great, it wouldn't have been good without the climax, well, they wanted to portray a realistic movie, i dont think they could have escaped anyways, it shows the power of the terrorists. yeah, nayakan should have had a happy ending, maniratnam just had to put tinu anand there to kill nayakan, that was sad. raju, good ending for sethu, i would have liked that, he needs to stop giving movies with tragic endings, he has done 3 already, its starting to get annoying, we see tragedy everday in news, and real life,lets have something else in movies. Uyire was allright, sometimes i feel maniratnam's movies are bizzare. Moondram pirai, i could accept the tragic ending, which made the movie spectacular, it would just be more time consuming i guess, if he goes back, and tells her what all he had done for her. Anyways, feel like watchin kurudhi punal now, kamal semma cop getup andha padathule, and gouthami good pair for kamal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-1132279417634416752005-11-18T07:33:00.000+05:302005-11-18T07:33:00.000+05:30kuruthi punal climax was good, i wudnt change it, ...kuruthi punal climax was good, i wudnt change it, i wud change the climax of<BR/><BR/>nandha (surya goin to madras maybe?)<BR/>nayakan (why does kamal have to die??)<BR/>azhaya kollangal (i wudnt kill the othre guy)<BR/> <BR/>in addition to what uve said.ada-paavi!!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07591425576772654784noreply@blogger.com
