It was the first(and only) tamil movie that I've seen so far and since I don't know tamil, I had to do with sub-titles, but then I had an experienced tamilian sitting beside me for most of the movie and so it was cool. Yea I agree that the first half was really confusing... but when the plot began to unfold, the story became clearer. Kamal Hasan was extremely impressive but he really does not look like a twenty something. And the scenes in which he was making out with Abhirami were beautifully shot, but I was somewhat disgusted at the idea of him kissing a girl who is like younger than half his age!! But then again... that's just me I guess and if abhirami is okay with it, I shouldn't really bring in my moral police force. And I really loved Unna Vida... its a song which kinda haunts you! And yo lazygeek... cool blog.. love your reviews. I loved Virumaandi.

I choose to differ a bit on your view on how Virumandi has dealt with idea capital punishment. You had said it has not been dwelled into deeply, I think the whole crux in the movie is about capital punishment and Kamal has said it well. The punch line abt the concept is in the end infact the last line of the movie, when the actors name comes out. Angela the reporter says " Manithe uyire edukare urimay eyarkaiku thaan irukku athe yaar meerinalum athu kolai thaan." The whole idea of not having capital punishment is just said in this line. Though this is very subtle in the movie I think the whole concept has been dwelled well. Hey Geek

A real good work despite ur regular schedule of being a software engineer. Well.. I just happened to read ur review of Virumaandi.. it was good for most part.. However I'd like to point out that u had mentioned that Avid editing was missing in Virumandi.. this is false..Though very late, I'd like to point out few things... Avid offers softwares for editing and the technique is called Non-linear editing where the entire footage is digitised and then edited using softwares such as Avid's Xpress and family, Apple's Final Cut Pro etc. Infact, recent films mostly employ non-linear editing techniques and only the software differs. Virumandi was edited using Apple's Final Cut Pro(FCP). As said by u, these techniques or softwares does'nt speed up the movie when it is slow.. actually such things must be taken care in the screenplay and may be trimming could've helped a little. A non-linear editing software is just a tool and it can execute what it is told to.. and to speed up a movie it requires a good screenplay writer. Avid is the company and is not a technique and it offers softwares for editing film, or video be it dv or mini dv or other video formats... Just wanted to share this info. Have a great day Ram Hi Lazygeek

I thought the whole jail riot scene with Peikkaman being corrupt was too much for the film. Corruption is definitely an important part of justice and the death penalty, but make it more important in the film if you are going to deal with it at all. IMO, the standout performance here is from Pasupathy. He is electrifying as Kothaala Thevar.
