Tamizh Padam - Intelligent Mokkai

Just now completed seeing 'Tamizh Padam' tamizh movie :D
I was very sceptical to watch this movie in the first place, because I am not a fan of Spoofs.
I have always avoided English spoofs (why ? oh well, I didnt know of any other language in which spoof movies were made) because I felt that they were distasteful..(if you know what I mean). After so much of promotion from people around me, I finally got to see this movie.

Guess what.. I would say it is a much better movie than 'Goa' & 'VTV'. Why ? Because it was intelligent even for a spoof movie. I never felt boring. Screenplay was neat. Accepted that they have made fun of all almost all actors, ads, screenplay etc etc.. but they didnt do it just for the heck of it. It was neatly interwoven in the screenplay and story. Kudos to the people involved in story, screenplay and direction. It would require a very strong political background to promote this movie, which would (funnily) hurt quite a lot of people in the industry and no wonder it has got totally extreme reactions :)

Of course you cannot expect a great song or a technical brillance in such movies...but even they were passable. Some scenes were very cute....
a. The person explaining the X Chromosome, Y Chromosome
b. Market la when the person explains about global recession
c. When Kuppusamy appears scaring Devaraj
d. How Siva becomes a m(b)illonaire between the time when a coffee is ordered and is brought
e. How Siva comes to save his girl friend (Gosh ..this was extreme)
f. Family song sequence
g. When Bharat's father scolds him (:( ennaku inga azhugaachiye vandhirichu )
h. When he is going to pronounce his (Siva) love in the library (resembling Karthick of yesteryears.. ultimate)

These are a few which comes to my mind now.
I seriously wish that people dont start making movies like this just because we got a good one even if it was the director's first movie. He deserves special credit for that.

Nothing to say about the actors...all were very perfect to their roles...and Shiva fit the role like a 'T' (why do they say this ? why not like a N or P ..I have to find out sometime...)

CatchIT... even if it is a first in Tamizh, it was awesome and surprisingly catchy...
