Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

durailan this is an amazing tamil movie.................about kattabomman.........every one likes it....we see the real kattabomman through sivaji ganesan...........its awesome. It was one of the memorable films of Sivaji Ganesan, it was produced and directed by B.R. Banthulu, Veerapandiya Kattabomman was the Tamil chieftain who rose in rebellion against the East India Company and fought with alien combination. One of the earliest freedom fighters of India he laid his life in sacrifice at the altar of freedom of his motherland.This role of a historic figure Kattabomman was played with majesty and grandeur by this great actor Sivaji Ganesan portrayed this spitfire personality of the rebel hero in a most effective manner. His larger than life performance won him an international award at the Egypt Film Festival.

murali83 What can i say about this movie. Even a kid in Tamil Nadu born today will know the speech that Sivaji Ganesan made in this movie. Songs are extremely nice and sivaji is awesome in this movie.What caused Veerapandiya Kattabomman to revolt may be shrouded in mystery. But revolt he did and paid the ultimate price of giving up his life. who better than Sivaji Ganesan to etch out this role. I suspect the real V. Kattabomman would not have been half as magnificent but he did deserve the belated accolades bestowed upon him through Sivaji.With its taut screenplay and powerful dialogues together with a spirited performance from Sivaji and the ensemble cast, no wonder the movie went on to become such a monster hit. Though dialogues of ParAsakthi, ManOhara, ThiruvilayAdal, ThillAna MohanAmbAL etc (incidentally all starring Sivaji) were extremely popular with people, I don't think any movie dialogue had the reach of VBKB - Jackson Durai conversation. You can still see 5 year old kids performing the scene in KaNmaNi PoongA kind of programmes, even after 40 years.

learnnew There are movies that can be reviewed. And there are movies one has to watch in wonder and salute it! We're incapable in our limited intellect and capacities to even comment about them. We just reverently watch them and salute them! This movie is of the second kind. Rather I should say the performance of Shivaji Ganesan in this movie is of the second kind! What a movie! This is an all-time classic! Shivaji Ganesan's career role! He got the best actor award in the Afro-Asian film festival at Cairo for this movie. One of the best performances ever by any actor in any movie. The supporting cast is uniformly good. When someone is inspired, he or she gives up all his individuality and in that surrender something everlasting is produced. This is the case in the movie. Shivaji is clearly inspired. Whew! After watching the movie, your step, your look, your demeanor will have a confidence and a swagger for days! DON'T MISS IT IF YOU GET A CHANCE!

chembai A classic for all time, Sivaji's portrayal of Kattabomman is awesome, and his famous lines have become part of popular culture. Grandiose sets, elaborate war sequences, terrific music and fine lyrics, magnificent dialogue, competetnt acting from the rest of the cast....Don't miss it for the world.
