Konja naal adakki vaasikkaren. But I think what I was rationalising was that br is best enjoyed as a bollywood critic with exposure to tamil cinema. I don't think he understands the tamil ethos as much as he does the bolly - which is reflecrted in the sheer joy you can see in articles bout something as ordinary as main hoon na, simply because of references to 70's masala bollywood. Obviously, it is his personal association with certain memoreis that is inflating its value for him Henceforth, I will only muffle my smile at people craving for his opinion on tamil cinema. As a tamil cinema critic, he is as good as any other decent blogger, thts all. Ok, I’ll lie low for sometime. Konja naal adakki vaasikkaren.

Baradwaj should be asked to write on rishi kapoor whence we'll get a masterpiece of an article. I don't think he cn appreciate a mohanlal or mammotty let alone nasser or prakash raj whereas rishi kappoor will be haled as a great natural actor:-) Hack job really this article and it shows.

Remains faithful to the original. Anand Kamal has played it like Kamal..not like a common man. This round goes to Naseer!! Lal's performance is fantastic. As the time goes by, he shows glipmses of helplessness, whereas Anupam Kher remained confident throughout. The best part was the BGM...Welcome to the tinsel world Shruti, you have done a great job in the BGM(though I did not like any of the songs). Movie is good. Remains faithful to the original.
