* Part 1 : THE problem lies here just bcse we people are watching hell lot of Hollywood or world movies.
There are millions of hollywood/french/chinese/brazilian/spanish/etc... movies in the world.
Step 1 :
We select few good movies that get made all over the world and watch them. There is list of top 250, top 100, oscar winning movies and so on, but what we do is select the best of them all and watch them.
Step 2 :
We reccomend these movies to few of our friends too. They too watch. 50% like them and 50 % doesnt like. The rest 50% who dont like the movie gives a reason that he/she cant understand the movie. So we explaian him what the movie is all about; he will watch it for the second time to relate our explanation. NOW HE/SHE likes the MOVIE.
Step 3 :
People start comparing the best of the selected few movies with the local movie made in Tamil/telugu/hindi/malayala/bengali. They feel like the movie isnt of world standards. They start giving quotes in relevance to the movies that they have watched. By now the guy is used to 100's of foreign made movies.
Step 4 :
Now he/she is too much involved in world movies that he starts comparing every indian made movie with a foreign language movie. He says the Directors here should learn from them on how to write screenplay or how to direct and even starts suggesting the kinda music that should be used. Some times even the camera angle.
Part 2 Step 5 :
Now he is completely against the movies that are MADE IN INDIA. He selects only a hand full of artist/technicians/directors/actors and name them as "The best". The mnovies made by them alone will be called as "classic". Rest all should be called as "peace of crap".
PS : Point to be noted here is .. by now he/she has turned into a complete movie analyst. Judging based on "THE BEST" movies ever made in world cinema... Here "Hey Ram" turns out to be the Classic and badsha turns out to be crap movie.. (sorry .. mee too a kamal fan ... but not a stupid)
Step 6 :
Now is the best part. He starts reviewing the movies and rates them (still comparing with THE BEST movies of the world. Now he starts remarking the directors/actors, asking them to change. (point to be noted here is 90 % of the reviewers doesnt know how a scene is taken also in a movie). He calls himself a critic and pin points only on the bad things in the movie. And forgets to Enjoy movie as a Movie and take up a movie as a "PROJECT".
Step 7 : (Has reasons)
Here he/she forgets the even in world movies there are millions of movies that have come and gone. Where has he/she has scene the best movies alone and the rest. So he/she should understand that CRAP movies are made all over the world. Where as we focus on only the best. Where ever the movie taken unless & until it satisfies the audience it wont be a hit.
Dont take a movie to your heart. If u like spread the "word of mouth" or just leave it to others and let them decide it whether a movie is good or not. Comparing THE BEST with THE WORST or THE AVERAGE movie doesnt do justice at all

The Prespective that world cinema offers
This is a response of sorts to what I think was an escapist view of the influence of World Cinema on Tamil Cinema. No Offenses meant. Figured a new piece would be convenient than responding in the 'comments' section.
Every year, tens of thousands of movies are made throughout the world with Hollywood, European and Asian Studios being major players in their own right. Indian movie studios churn out a substantial number of films. The average Tamil audience is quite passionate about movies and doesn't mind long queues and wait times for the tickets. The average Tamil movie "star" enjoys quite a passionate fan following and almost always has been keen on playing to this dedicated gallery. Hence, it is not uncommon for an average Tamil "star" movie to be protagonist centric and we see stars relying on their 'success formula' (read gimmicks, wardrobe et al) leading to a hangover of sorts of their previous works. However, Tamil Cinema has also seen its share of stalwarts (directors mostly and a few actors) who refused to get stuck to this formula vortex and strived to make sensible films.
Now, how does watching World Cinema influence the outlook on Tamil films and film makers? There are many dimensions to this. Watching a lot of great works from the world and reading about great filmmakers helps us in understanding "our" films and film makers better. For starters, one tends to appreciate finer details and allegory better.
In Tamil Cinema, a bunch of visionary film makers have made inspired cinema out of their passion for the works of great foreign film makers. Exposure to these foreign films helps you acknowledge these inspirations and makes you awe at the thought process of how one great work inspires another, instead of calling them as rip offs. Recently, I saw a film called "Tie Me Up Tie me Down" and I was just blown away at how one 10 min block in it served as a seed for "Guna". It gave me the impression that while watching this film, a stroke of lightning hit Kamal and Voila, Guna was born.
Now, what is the influence on our expectations? Personally, I think what I expect from an average Tamil movie has gone up with the refinement due to watching a lot of foreign works. Does it mean that I benchmark an average Tamil film with a similar genre foreign work and find the Tamil film bad? No, I don't think it works that way. What happens mostly is that you tend to have better clarity in your thoughtprocess and possibly get pissed or disinterested(when the movie is bad) with the way a movie unfolds. It doesn't mean that you get access to a 'flaw detection' meter and watch movies to make good use of your new acquaintance.
Movies are primarily made for entertaining us and I don't watch one with any other intention. Most recently I watched "GOA" and it didn't entertain me, not even a wee bit. I found it boring because of the 'lack of interesting situations' and 'humorless conversations'. I found it be dull and boring while I was thoroughly entertained by 'Hang Over' and say even 'Euro Trip'. May be while putting my thoughts about 'Goa' on paper I might say that Venkat Prabhu has to learn from the writers of Hangover/Euro Trip on how to make a good teen flick. That doesn't mean my expectation was driven by the experience I had while watching Euro Trip. Now, these are mindless teen flicks right? Why would one even have these in mind while watching another mindless entertainer, eh? Now, what has watching these foreign teen comedies possibly done to me is help me put on paper as to why Goa didn't work for me. In other words, you can say that there is nothing wrong with the theme of teen flicks as there have been interesting and engaging movies in that genre too. Thats the drift.
And reg the accusation that watching World Cinema makes a person biased to one breed of film makers in Tamil Cinema, I think this is just plain bollocks. If at all the exposure has done anything, it has created more awareness on what is what.
More than anything else, watching these great works makes you yearn for great works from your home. I don't think there is anything wrong in that and it is better than living in denial world.

Critics are they sensible ?
The battle lines are drawn every Friday as critics dissect a film and pass a verdict, every time a critic lashes out on a film it not just affects the films Box Office run but also dents the reputation of people who were behind making the film.
Allegations, accusations and denials have been volleyed with no holds barred with neither side ready to acknowledge that the need of the hour is "Sensibility".
Are filmmaker's honest? , Is the critic consistent with his/her criticism? Critic rates the film but who rates the critic? , Are some of the questions which are bound to turn up. Few Critics have been accused of being "a limelight moth" at the expense of a Star or a film. It just takes a personal tiff with a star and a truck load of personal swipe in his blog. Voila! They are popular overnight with extremely high hits to their blog. It is only right to say that few critics have lost their moral obligation to make sure people don't miss out on good films. Film Makers vehemently allege that few critics are more concerned about bashing a bad film than providing a good impetus to a good film.
Isn't it enough for a critic to encourage good film makers and good films , provide young and passionate filmmakers with right push and throttle them up than mocking and bashing stars to grab a piece of pie called "publicity"?. Majority of today's critic's are either the puppets of big star's or publicity freaks who just want to be in the "news”. Only few manage to have morally sound conviction towards their profession.
Arun Vaidyanathan - The darling of the critics ever since he directed “Achamundu Achamundu” was his usual frank self about this issue. "Responsible and sensible critics have always been supporting people who are trying to do good cinema, however, there are few of them who want to bash a film because of their personal issues, its unfortunate and it shouldn't happen".
There were few critics who dismissed films like "Katradhu Thamizh " as a mere confused attempt when it was released, while in reality it was a film was about a "Confused, Psychotic and a frustrated" man. As a critic one is expected to posses’ good comprehension skills to comprehend cinema. Are critics really taken seriously by the people? Are they taking the might of their Pen for granted?
There seems to be a clear divide in the way both the sides think, the arrogance is seldom intellectual. Its high time film makers and critics open their ears to good “sensible” voices from both the sides, when this happens then Cinema will be the winner.

The vision has to change
What is the today's mindset of youngsters in Tamil Nadu??
They want to live in a safe life.They want to live in a flat, they need a car, a mobile and they want to enjoy movies in multiplexes with a beautiful girls.There are the dreams they are dreaming today.To achieve that they seek a White collar job.They want to work in IT companies,Software Companies etc,
Cinema :
" It's a magical mirror " said by a man. "If I go to Chennai and if i get a chance, I will be like the person, my position will be like this tomorrow". With the dreams like these a lot of people come to Chennai to join in Cinema.How many of their dreams were successful today.By seeing one or two shining people most of them lost their life.
IT :
" After, I complete my twelfth standard, I am going to join B.E. I.T. After that i will, get a good job and I will get a good salary. Then, I will settle in my life earlier than my friends".This is the dream of the maximum number of middle class students and their parents too.Without knowing their interest and what they can do they are dreaming like this.Finally what is happening in the beginning of their college life they find out that they are unfit for IT.But they have to do because they have paid fees.They can't leave their study because they are middle class. Finally, they can't continue and they can't leave the education.They will be subjected under stress.
These are the two fields that attract the people today.Many doesnt know a lot of people's position who had perished due to those fields.
But nobody here are ready to think about the agricultural field.That is the only field that can give food to the entire world.Politics how many of us are interested in that?
A large number of people accumulate in a same place. But , they forget a beautiful world is outside to live. When are they going to find out?
The vision has to change !!!

Friday's role in Cinema's release
FRIDAY, the day in which most of the Tamil movies operate their child to be born in the silver screen. This has become a custom with some actual funda behind it. When a movie hits the silver screen on Friday, which is the last working day in India, the production unit rely on the fact that people tend to approach cinema malls during Friday weekend followed by two weekly holidays. Hence, the production unit tosses the movie on Friday to get good profit immediately in the first three days of the release so that it can act as a psychological advantage to showcase the box office report in the news and media sites. Well this year was quite a boon as it started with FRIDAY, 01-01-2010. But unfortunately not many producers were ready to compete with last year biggies, AVATAR which continued to dominate the box office for nearly 8-10 weeks running at packed houses. All we had was just 3 income tax releases on the opening day of the year, namely, Pugaipadam, Thunichal and Nil Kavani Kadhali. No one even knows that these duds were released on the auspicious day of the year but as usual they did their part not to run more than a week doing justice to their producers.
Now comes the Pongal clash with no movies from the leading stars Ajith and Vijay. It was a peaceful Pongal but we had the Magnum Opus Aayirathil Oruvan, the much-awaited release at last hit the silver screen on Pongal, the Tamil New Year. The movie had mixed reviews from the day it was released and it had also created rich interest amongst the audiences of quality cinema who went a step higher in decoding the nuances in the movie. But in the end, Selva has to re operate his child as the audience failed to understand most of the second half and also chopped a few unnecessary scenes. But the movie made a good show in the business and it was clear winner in the Pongal battle with other movies Kutty, Dhanush starrer failing to do enough business and Porkkalam, which was nothing other than waste of money. The other dark horse in the pongal battle was the Capital Cine Work's Naanayam, which earned decent reviews, but the movie failed to run well because of poor marketing.
Moving to the end of the month, we had close to 5 movies with screens swarming to get the biggies. We had the much-publicized Tamizh Padam, a spoof of popular movies. The movie and the marketing strategy has created enough hype to attract the audience with it's pre release interviews and the famous 'Mirchi' Shiva, doing the lead role, which is a in deed quite a controversy role as he had to spoof the most popular heroes of south. But quite surprisingly the team has managed to keep up their expectations and I would say they lived to their expectations. They spoofed in each and every form from the trailers, songs, names and even the newspaper advertisements. Along with Tamil Padam, we had another Production debutant, Soundarya Rajnikanth came with Venkat Prabhu's Holiday 'Goa'. Venkat Prabhu carried the hopes from Chennai 28 and Saroja but this time, it was more close to a spoof and dry humour. The movie didn't do good business in the box office as it lacked in the fundamental story. Not all movies with Prem Ji can fetch you good profit in the box office is what Venkat Prabhu learned from this movie. The movie which created controversy in the internet media, which was leaked in the internet even before the movie hit the silver screen, Jaggubhai, from KSR and Sarath combo with the comedy legend Goundamani getting back to acting also released along with these two movies. When you don't have content, no matter you create as much hype as you can, Tamil audience has been matured enough to place the movie in the garbage when it does not have any content to satisfy their money that they spent. Jaggubhai clears grabs a place in the wastebasket. Now a days, it has become a principle of telecasting trailors imitating Sun Pictures with a few taglines and punch dialogues from the movie. It was 'Vaaaa Daaaaa' with Vettainkaran where Sun Pictures kept shouting in all their channels to promote their production. We had an english version of 'Vaaa Daaaa' with Dhairiyam, P Kumaran starrer shouting 'Come Onnnnnnnnnnn'.
Who can answer the following question? Name the list of theatres in which Dhairiyam was released? Hint: No of days the movie ran is equal to the list of theatres the movie was released.
Perfect month February first witnessed Ajith's Aasal. With no major hopes because of the production company and with not much pre release hype, the movie literally bombarded at the box office. The fans and the neutral audience did not have any relieving factor that they can cherish for except for the factor 'Ajithkumar' and his so-called screen presence. Another humorous part of the movie was the promotion that they made or rather the promotion from an actor to a co-director Ajith kumar. Sluggish dry humour, senseless songs, irrelevant fights, not-at-all-necessary screenplay has made the movie to find the next place in the waste basket. With this, I hope the end of Charan can soon come. A quarter without Sun Pictures? Defintely not, this time they had an interesting impossible combo of Vishal playing a play boy character in TVP - Theeratha Vilayaatu Pillai. Once again, Sun Pictures proved and stand strong in claiming that 'We will promote only movies with rubbish masala'. Can someone please show them quality movies please?
Failed to release on the Valentine's Day, Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya was released towards the end of February. With Gautam's magic the movie stood tall and won several critics and also made good money at the box office. The movie, for the first time had Simbhu with a neat acting and has showcased Trisha as a good and hot heroine. The X factor of the movie is that it made the audience to feel their presence in the movie as it was taken in such a manner that it would have happened in every man's life. Not to forget the Oscar Winner's return to Tamil Cinema after a long gap. The songs are still ruling the box office and each and everyone's hello tune.
The month of March, where every producer scared to release their baby because of the violent IPL season 3 also had a few releases. We had Jai starrer 'Aval Peyar Tamizharasi'. The movie was pretty decent and also did arguable money in the business because of the killer IPL that literally made every human being to sit and watch the match. We also had other few duds like Thambikku Endha Ooru, Veerasekaran, Kumarin Pennin Ullathile and Yaadhu Maagi which won the straight seat in the waste basket. With Chennai Super Kings, literally failing in most of the matches, hope started to shift its focus towards cinema again. At the right time was released Vasantha Balan's Angadi Theru. The movie gave a brilliant portrayal of the Angadi Street and it earned excelled reviews from all corners of the world. With the quarter almost getting over, we wish to see more Angadi Therus and more 1000 in 1 movie to come.
