Pankaj,
If you are looking for another Taran Adarsh, you will be disappointed. Taran Adarsh gives 4 star to Karzz, 4.5 to Gajini and 3.5 to KI. That reviewer does not give even 2 stars to crap like that.
I have been following that site for sometime and that site got 10/14 Oscar predictions right and predicted Rahman and Slumdog Millionaire wins. Do check out their Reccos section.

Shankar: Arun invited me for the press show, but couldn’t make it for that. Hope to see it soon. It’s been getting decent reviews though.

Udayananu tharam was a movie far better than the tamil version,vellithirai and is uncomparable to the hindi crap.It was a film with fine treatment,passionate direction and very excelent acting.
But the main highlight was its critical take on the film industry.It tried to focus on star and stardom and how an actor who does’nt know a word of it, is made into a superstar (played by Sreenivasan) and showed the director is the real boss.Every criticism was made in a light of humour (which is the way it should be,i believe). It didn’t even spare the lead actor starring in the film among others.Everything was taken in a very sportive spirit and it was well appreciated. For one who is aware about it,he could read between the lines to know who each comment is aimed at and it was funny.
The remakers should have atleast tried to know the subtext or context behind each scenes/dialogue instead of making a pale plastic imitation without heart or passion.

Baddy, will you be watching Achamundu? I’d like to see how Arun’s vision turned out finally on screen and hear about it. That film was made after surmounting innumerable difficulties and I’d like to see it have a nice run…provided it’s turned out good.

Sankat City is horrible too but the fans at PFC will hail it as some masterpiece like they always do with their favorites.

Here’s a nice review.

@ brangan

Have you yet set your soul on a Sankat City show or not? Because soon the world will be divided into two kinds of people…you know the kinds.

(Sadly, it’s not doing good business at all…the publicity-plan failed big time it seems.)

What was the last movie where Kamal was a mere gun for hire, Vasool raja mbbs may be..before that ???

Anand: Is Kamal really underrated as a scriptwriter? I think most of us look forward to the films he’s *written* (as opposed to the ones where he’s merely the actor, a gun for hire). Even ‘Dasavatharam’ was cleverly conceived (on paper) — the reason it was so loathsome was the execution.

s: “The story isnt bad, but it isnt just abt the story itself, isnt it?” Thank you for saying that — but you’ll be surprised how many people still watch films mainly for the story.

About 75% of K2K is complete — last schedule pending.
