@25:55 Why VJS didn't kill the Villain ? Let me answer for this Mr.Baddy, It's B'cas the moment he saw the villain he recognised that he's the biological father of his daughter, Maharaja got shook up and enters into an disturbed state. He tries to avoid his daughter, even, If u notice in the end when Villain pleads to him, he simply pushes him away and runs away from the spot. This scene simply portrays struggle of Good soul and suffering of a Bad Soul - The Maharaja ❤
Yep we all can understand such things throughout the movie, like as if the director wants us to interpret it in our own way - but baddy doesn't like it here But the same.baddy praises kumararaja when he does the same and suddenly adds aliens in his movies with no context
That girl in the movie is an athlete.i feel athletes are physically strong people & the way they showed her in the 1st half,boldness is felt in her behaviour no need to explain it with an incident to justify her boldness in climax ,this trauma made her weak both physically and mentally,so i think if she face that person she'll overcome this and so she did.This part worked for me.
We are what society makes us to be and movies we have grow on..Glad tamil movies are showing women being strong and coming out of rape trauma. ..In rape, more than pain, it is the societal stigma that pushes ppl to depression..if next generation grows up watching movies like this, they will get out of stigma as the person who rapes should be shamed, not the victim, these movies are changing it..clearly, none of us know how rape works..
I respect its his personal opinion. But Idhula First half generic ah iruku nu criticism vekrapo Star la epdi ivlo scenes generic ah irundum ivarku therla 😮💨
I don't understand why BR s review should be viewed as a benchmark for reviews. Yes, he is a good critic, that doesn't mean there should be a justification for him to validate a film. This discussion just amplifies and boasts his critical understanding, that's all. I could not understand by some of the comments which read " I too thought the same " while reading or watching a review. If you thought the same, express it. Simple...in plain words.
You expect him to apologise for his opinion, just because majority liked the film...he is not boasting anything...he is explaining why something didn't work only because the questions were posed that way...the interviewer was stupid to ask BR why some scenes didn't work for him...its like asking someone why they dont like tea why they drink only coffee...they might have an explanation for their likes and dislikes but that answer is useless....so asking that question is pointless...the interview asked stupid questions which BR was forced to answer even though he tried to deflect it few times
Not a bad idea to ask what worked/ didn't work in a film. Movie watching being a subjective experience, how else can we qualitatively analyse diverse opinions?
Maharaja climax is the best. Villain ah kolrathula ena perusa iruku? Avane sagattum.. Antha ponnu avlo theliva bathil solirkum avan kita Suppose avanoda ponnu nu theriama irunthalum kuda, natty and co avana konrupanga.. Vjs anga poi heroism kaatanumnu avasiyame ila.. Perfectly written climax
There is a Karma concept in the film, i don't know how many people have noted that. Anurag and his friend will heist a house in the flashback scene. During that scene, a girl will get rap*d in front of her mother by his friend. Karma will hit back to anurag when his daughter gets rap*d by his friend in front of him. I noticed this many hours after watching the film.

Paavam Baddy has to defend his review these days by giving an interview. Just goes to show how much people get offended when their favourite reviewer’s opinion doesn’t match with the majority.
I loved the movie and was glued on for the full 2:21 hrs . I love BR and he is giving his opinion but i gotta say the director has a responsibility to make sure the movie works for the regular audience as well and not just for the critics . Maharaja pushed the envelope just the right amount so as to get the general audience used to a new way of watching a movie without just the frivolous masala elements and yet work at the box office enough to encourage producers to come forward to make movies like this in the future as well . This is not a stage play that's made on a shoe string budget nor are we living in a cinema lover paradise where movies like last tango in Paris will work at the Box office . i agree with BR on some of his grouses about the movie but sympathise with the director who had the added responsibility of making the movie work for the mob whilst whipping up a soup which ll satisfy those with a refined palate as well . Kudos and respect for that 👍🙏
Just perspectives . VJS holding that pillar i see it as strong emotion that he will go to any extreme for his daughter and daughter role was established very well in many scenes like shoe she gives to her friend etc.. Anurag didnt work out for me as well as its a performance demanding role and the voice non sync disturbs as a viewer .
Lets admit it. Crowds land up in the theatre first and foremost mainly for Vijay Sethupathy. And he has excelled. The Director has ( pointed out by BR) has come up with brilliant plot plus great moments/scenes. And BR is looking at things objectively. No harm in it. Such an young girl would never want to meet or even think of the Abuser.
Baddy's relevance is not because he is spot on in his reviews but he is different.Jai Bhim, Soorarai pottru, Maharaja and many more amazing movies that worked for critics and audience alike did not work for him. Like Baddy says why look for his validation for movies, just enjoy his different prespective. He is like Director parthiban or Blue Sattai, they are not relevant or gamechangers, we tune in to see what their different take on movies are.Tamil audience have started watching international movies, so don't want to be spoon fed about characters like Baddy wants for Vijay Sethupathi/ Anurag's characters in the movie.Also, they have shown the girl to be in sports and we know how much mental strength and how much fighters women in sports are, so for her to say she will come out of it is believable, so no spoon feeding needed there.
According to BR there are lot of generic scene in first half which was negative... In my POV all that generic scene in first half was justified in the second half.
Gotta agree with everything he said . Great points! Lack of character development of Anurag kashyap is a big point . And yes , no need to add a second character for the final crime
ஜா.தீபா எழுதிய குருபீடம் எனும் சிறுகதையில் வரும் "சிவகாமி" கதாபாத்திரத்தை, மஹாராஜா படத்தில் வரும் VJS-ன் மகள் கதாபாத்திரத்தோடு ஒப்பிட்டுப் பார்த்தால், ஒருவேளை BR சொல்வது புரியலாம்.
Why he is expecting every character should have arch.. and same way there is an clear detailing states the girl is matured enough in each scene like gifting shoe to her friend and taking care of home and commanding VJS.. what else hes expecting am not sure. Surprising statement from BR👎🏻
திருச்சியில் ஒரு தியேட்டரில் மூன்று படங்கள் திரையிடப்பட்டிருந்து. நான் ஏற்கனவே ஒசூரில் மஹாராஜாவை பார்த்துவிட்டேன். திருச்சியில் இந்தியன் 2 இரவுக்காட்சியை பார்த்துவிட்டு மனம் சந்தோசப்படவில்லை. இதை சரி செய்ய மறுநாள் காலையில் அதே தியேட்டரில் இன்னொரு பகுதியில் மீண்டும் மஹாராஜா பார்கக விருப்பப்பட்டேன்
I dont understand why people need BR to agree with them completely. He liked so many things he said it himself but there are things he didn’t like. So what is the issue with that? This shouldn’t take any enjoyment from anyone. Watch it for yourself why does it matter if BR loves it or not.
The ones that object to a negative review just because their favourite hero is on screen simply have to grow up. I like Vjs but I found a few flaws in the movie. Why not? Put on a thick skin peeps.
I actually disappointed to hear him tell that MahaRaja didn’t work for him but 3 hours of Animal worked for him. Boss to start with there was no police and it was so abusive to watch Animal.
16:29 this guy is just justifiying vainly , no concrete points... Watch a movie first and then watch these reviewers dont hold them as the helm of a point of view for a movie..
BR is a seriously overworked critic. He tries to overanalyze things. It's just his perspective. He wants everything perfect but life is not perfect. Cinema is a reflection of life. It can have imperfections.
I feel the Director should have justified how someone who has been arrested for robbery murder and having a gun could be released in 13years from the prison??
He is the one who against thousands always. Commenting is liberated to all. Forget his comment and go for goods, he will be disappeared. He is disappointed on this good film. Because Manirathnam has not produced this film
I won’t accept - he said the director didn’t show parallels between Vijay and Anurag kashyap daughter rising. Then if those scenes showed he said it didn’t work for him in first half . Then he said director gave him too many high points , then he expects abirami character to have suspense. Another they already showed the daughter as strong person when she scolds her friend subtly
If he's finding so many unconvincing things about Maharaja... its perplexing to understand how he found STAR very convincing... Any movie will have tons of unconvincing things depending on the angle a person sees a movie...
Maharaja didn't work for me just as well, it was a decent film at best. I was never into Anurag Kashyap's acting in Imaikaa Nodigal and Maharaja. The ending was not much of a twist for me. I loved the base plot and Singampuli's casting in the film.
This is a rare occasion that BR let himself be carried away by his nuanced appreciation abilities mislead him to snobbery at places.. another thing, as a critic one is bound to be less personal and more objective, which will give a more accommodative perspective to the viewer, that is believed to be the primary quality of a critic..
Its only affected you sir, bcoz the plot and story narration are the same in both the films.i have showned this to my +2 passed out daughter.... She explained this is what gng to happen.. But who is the culprit of this film ppl wanted to know. That is only சிங்கம்புலி.. Hes the hero of the மகாராஜா
BR approaches movies with structure, but since day one, Tamil movies don't follow much on exposition or character arcs strictly. Tamil movies are based on emotions and high points in the movies. The audience has been both culturally and visually tuned to this approach. If movies are made with a detailed structure, they might come out as either boring or lagging, so a lot of editing is needed. Rather than spending too much time on exposition or looking for logic gaps, many Tamil directors feel their films would end up being boring. In contrast, a lot of Malayalam movies incorporate more of these filmic structures because most of their early directors and writers followed Neo-film traditions from the West. Tamil movies, even though they started with Western directors making Tamil movies in their early days, actually follow "navarasam" (emotions) over any character logic.
First he didn't understand first half is not about missing dustbin lakgsmi it's only about to find culprit on his for revenge so hero seeking help from police to figure out police department related culprit that's y added character in crime scence too movie is actually classy he dnt connect bcz he made his mind x,y,z reason but he is seeing actually what is Beauty narrative there. Climax ultimate bcz golden dollar purchased for girl from sinful act of money went in vain same way filled with own blood at last what classy reavel move. Complete movie is wow
I'm very frustrated with thisreview. In the past, BR reviews have always been spot-on for me, especially for smaller movies that are also available on streaming services. They steered me away from seeing "Maharaja" in theaters, which I now deeply regret. I trusted your review and ended up watching "Start", which was a total disappointment for me and my whole family. I completely understand that tastes vary, and that's okay. However, your reviews are the only ones I trust because they usually align perfectly with mine. Missing "Maharaja" in theaters is a real bummer, and I can't help but wonder how many others might have skipped it based on this review. The reason I'm explaining this in detail is because a single review can have a significant negative impact on a great film like "Maharaja."
BR Crying why ? He can't accept the film is blockbuster. Dai Muttal Rangan ; it is the Screenplay that made the film blockbuster not the plot. It shows clearly you are biased towards the film because you can't accept it's Victory. Because you want only Mani Ratnam to give such a kind of film.
I didnt like jailer , but i loved maharaja , people are not only looking for highpoints , but a good story or screenplay which makes the watch interesting
Firstly, i don't always likes Mr. Baradwaj Rangan's reviews on movies. But, we people have a bad habit that if a film talks about some serious stuffs then immediately it is considered as a good material. That's why a few years or decades ago there was a concept of film called "Social Message Padam" was exist. Those filmmakers literally exploited people by saying its a good message film, like recent one Bhoomi director scolded tamil audience for making fun of him. Also, there was an era, if people criticize Mr. Mani Ratnam movies, then they'll be considered as fools.. they're blabbering without knowing the knowledge of cinema. Likewise, if people criticize a movie which deals a serious political issues, then they'll be considered as illiterate, fools or something like that. First basic thing of any movie is it should engage people. (Its true that not all movies are for everyone) Idhu epdi irukuna.. enaku Stanley Kubrick, tarkovsky director films la avlo pudikaadhu.. it mostly makes me feel sleepy. But people like Christopher nolan loves Stanley Kubrick. So, how it will be if someone comes and makes fun of you for not able to get connected with a most beautiful cinematic piece and thinking you're too small to understand these films? Adhu oru kevalamana sindhanai dhaane? Also, he has some solid reasons to support his points, it may not reasonable to people but he has a stand. And mostly, this anchor OMG! I'm exhausted with her stand and analysing skills on movies. I can't take a stand.. mudiyala.. "Saaaar, maybe ipdi irundhu irukalaamonu" she brings a point.. mudiyala.. it's a visual story telling, i dont know why she is thinking out of the story and all. Okay! I can understand her, people have eyes on mr. baradwaj rangan's review, so the channel wants to highlight it and she is trying to make all the eyes as her followers by asking random questions and stands again mr. Baradwaj. Pity! 🌼
I don't have a problem with BR not connecting with a film. Its his taste and perspectives. I have a problem with the volume at which he points the negatives of some film and not for the others. Star (movie) had its shortcomings as well but the review didnt speak of it that loudly. I still like some perspectives that BR puts out but longer take them as a Godsay. Im sure there are many people who miss out such movies in a theatre after listening to these "star" reviews (no pun).
Even though i understand there is no logic behind the hero's strength about the hold on to something very strong, but I see here for rangarajan could not accept the brilliant scene that happens in the school, the director wanted to establish the very obvious thing about a father and then wanted shock us by revealing that its not his own daughter.... Moreover that scene worked for me coz, many of us in school have such principles & teachers who try to ignore or avoid the moment they realise the truth. such scenes are a slap on their face... no one stands up for justices too...Thats exactly what we want to see as an audience.. Lakshmi as dustbin was a bit religious sentiment, but I too agree about the jewellery being thrown at Anurag was staged. to surprise him.
Madam, Wasting money in discussing about films 24/7, 365 days in a year is a absolute waste of time. Disproportionately earning money in film vs. people who work brilliantly, intelligently in other industries is not be told or advertised. Very unfortunate.
I agree with him I event don't agree that a father loving his daughter so much but letting his fellows rape in front of him (seems not constructed well logically)
Bcos he is a hypocrite . he only cares about his daughter and Doesn't give a damn about other girls . Why do you think this is illogical? Please , this is a very good movie .there are Some logic mistakes but overall its very good.and please dont support this baradwaj guy. He literally told star is better and said maharaja is mot good. I dont even know on what criteria he is speaking .
Some people are like that... They go to any extreme in hurting other's family... No humanity or whatsoever but protect their own family.. Extreme selfish... There are many people like that.. They justify their acts saying any shitty story.. Poverty changed them etc... In this movie even its clear his wife wanted a good husband with moral values... But he lost such a family because of his wrong thoughts and wrong friendships... His same friend who raped other gals can anyday rape his own daughter... He didnt even understand that.. Path of darkness makes one believe its right and they become unstoppable... One should be social concious person too... Balance should be like none should hurt us & we shouldnt hurt anyone in this life... But the balance rarely happens.. One shouldn't hurt others as well as know how to protect themselves.. One should protect their family without hurting others... Some people believe we should stamp on/ cheat others then only we can survive...
Both of them the hero and the villain looked similar . They could have explored the both sides of the option a lot with that . Shown Anurag going through moral dilemmas every time his partners do an assault . Adding more grey to each side and criccrosing could have workers better As he said : great plot !
After watching this i can no longer accept Baradwaj as a credible film critic anymore. As if Anyone who rates STAR has a decent movie makes them credible enough.
Screenplay was amazing but they could've shown Maharaja to try to get justice through the system and then embark on a revenge journey, somehow I felt that part is missed out
Interviewer konjam beter homework panitu vandhurukalam .. !! To extract his views , BR was struggling to find out whats her exact question & started answering randomly
Totally agree with BR I found the film draggy all jammed in the last 20 mins and rather confusing..the twist plot abt daughter was a good idea but cant say the same for the execution...N no years dates shown in any scenes which makes the plot so confusing..n the dustbin fiasco just a drag. The star of the film is the hero and villain with a splendid performance that has covered up the flaws of the storytelling by director.. VJ Sethupathi and AKashyap saved the film.
@25:55
Why VJS didn't kill the Villain ?
Let me answer for this Mr.Baddy,
It's B'cas the moment he saw the villain he recognised that he's the biological father of his daughter, Maharaja got shook up and enters into an disturbed state.
He tries to avoid his daughter,
even, If u notice in the end when Villain pleads to him, he simply pushes him away and runs away from the spot.
This scene simply portrays struggle of Good soul and suffering of a Bad Soul - The Maharaja ❤
Yep we all can understand such things throughout the movie, like as if the director wants us to interpret it in our own way - but baddy doesn't like it here
But the same.baddy praises kumararaja when he does the same and suddenly adds aliens in his movies with no context
@sateezz yes, exact story line
Good Analyse
Yeah... Climax is just "IRATTA". But of course it worked out well in Maharaja
If it was exact climax as Iratta, it would have been even more mind bending.
Star padatha nalla iruku nu sollitu..idhula 1000 kora kandupudi..very nice
Bro shut up star is a nice movie
@@thariqthassim820how
Anurag killing himself because of his guilt is "Iratta" touch. Starring Joju George in Malayalam
Adhu iratta toucho enna toucho. But endha appanaa irundhaalum sethuduvaan
That girl in the movie is an athlete.i feel athletes are physically strong people & the way they showed her in the 1st half,boldness is felt in her behaviour no need to explain it with an incident to justify her boldness in climax ,this trauma made her weak both physically and mentally,so i think if she face that person she'll overcome this and so she did.This part worked for me.
Correctly said. Even I felt the same.
You obviously have zero idea how rape works on the victims ...
We are what society makes us to be and movies we have grow on..Glad tamil movies are showing women being strong and coming out of rape trauma. ..In rape, more than pain, it is the societal stigma that pushes ppl to depression..if next generation grows up watching movies like this, they will get out of stigma as the person who rapes should be shamed, not the victim, these movies are changing it..clearly, none of us know how rape works..

He already did that in Kurangu bommai. Since not many people watched Kurangu bommai, now everyone is enjoying the same technique in Maharaja.

Not a bad idea to ask what worked/ didn't work in a film. Movie watching being a subjective experience, how else can we qualitatively analyse diverse opinions?
22:55 they attempted to do that, in the scene where she confronts the shoe stealer. she is a girl who confronts and resilient
Bharathiraja with BR dialogue in movie - unnoda comment and review totally waste nee 😅😂😂
Maharaja climax is the best. Villain ah kolrathula ena perusa iruku? Avane sagattum.. Antha ponnu avlo theliva bathil solirkum avan kita

Perfectly written climax
There is a Karma concept in the film, i don't know how many people have noted that.
Anurag and his friend will heist a house in the flashback scene. During that scene, a girl will get rap*d in front of her mother by his friend.
Karma will hit back to anurag when his daughter gets rap*d by his friend in front of him. I noticed this many hours after watching the film.
Even I am also not surprised in climax, because it reminds me of the Iratta movie.
Exactly

That’s because while singam puli was looped in, until VJs narrates the story many of us doesn’t know singam puli is also involved.

Speaking 80%english 20% tamil. Y sir review in Tamil film. sir try to hollywood film review 😂
I won’t accept - he said the director didn’t show parallels between Vijay and Anurag kashyap daughter rising. Then if those scenes showed he said it didn’t work for him in first half . Then he said director gave him too many high points , then he expects abirami character to have suspense. Another they already showed the daughter as strong person when she scolds her friend subtly
When things comes to the laymen's story, bharadwaj couldn't relate himself on it, he feel alienated even if it's gud....
He mentioned he liked movies like Writer, Asuravatham, etc which are also laymens story. Avoid prejudjing people
Exactly, he says he liked some movies but I still feel like maybe he couldn't really connect much with the working class people
he sees films as films..not all films on social msg and caste or poverty or socialism are necessarily good..they may or may not work for u
If he's finding so many unconvincing things about Maharaja... its perplexing to understand how he found STAR very convincing... Any movie will have tons of unconvincing things depending on the angle a person sees a movie...
Maharaja didn't work for me just as well, it was a decent film at best. I was never into Anurag Kashyap's acting in Imaikaa Nodigal and Maharaja. The ending was not much of a twist for me. I loved the base plot and Singampuli's casting in the film.
How the plot works or the screenplay is executed superbly.
maintaining AK's getup without showing him aged was quite convenient i felt..as VJS was shown as aged man to differentiate the time line
I can't understand his point 😢😮
Completely agree with BR
BR is more influenced from KB sir films . Because KB sir really keeps foundation for characters.
i couldn't watch more than 20 mins of Star.
but, i agree with most of his points on maharaja and soorarai potru 😉
I know everyone is waiting for the film written by him now…
10:05 exactly…
Why baddy don't like this film :
Director : non bramin
Actor : non bramin
Avlodhan.........😂
Why did he like star then?
This is a rare occasion that BR let himself be carried away by his nuanced appreciation abilities mislead him to snobbery at places.. another thing, as a critic one is bound to be less personal and more objective, which will give a more accommodative perspective to the viewer, that is believed to be the primary quality of a critic..
Yes sir. Getting carried away. Pity.
snobbery.....hmm new work learnt .thank you 😅
டேய் GalattaTamil, இவனுக்கு ஏன் படம் பிடிக்கலனு interview பண்ணணுமா? யேன்டா உங்க கன்டென்ட் இவ்வளவு மோசமா போகுது?
What kinda comment is this? Avan invanuttu?
Its only affected you sir, bcoz the plot and story narration are the same in both the films.i have showned this to my +2 passed out daughter.... She explained this is what gng to happen.. But who is the culprit of this film ppl wanted to know. That is only சிங்கம்புலி.. Hes the hero of the மகாராஜா
Mr. BR when we do mistake just accept. Dont justification
BR approaches movies with structure, but since day one, Tamil movies don't follow much on exposition or character arcs strictly. Tamil movies are based on emotions and high points in the movies. The audience has been both culturally and visually tuned to this approach. If movies are made with a detailed structure, they might come out as either boring or lagging, so a lot of editing is needed. Rather than spending too much time on exposition or looking for logic gaps, many Tamil directors feel their films would end up being boring. In contrast, a lot of Malayalam movies incorporate more of these filmic structures because most of their early directors and writers followed Neo-film traditions from the West. Tamil movies, even though they started with Western directors making Tamil movies in their early days, actually follow "navarasam" (emotions) over any character logic.
Excellent movie with twist and turns
This guy is rich so he can't like it
What has his rich/poorness got to do with him not liking the film?
He is absurd
Thayoli naaye....unakku pudichathellam engalukkum pudikkanuma....sense illatha echa baadu...unna madri tharkuri close minded naayellam yen da vaaya thorakkuringa?
First he didn't understand first half is not about missing dustbin lakgsmi it's only about to find culprit on his for revenge so hero seeking help from police to figure out police department related culprit that's y added character in crime scence too movie is actually classy he dnt connect bcz he made his mind x,y,z reason but he is seeing actually what is Beauty narrative there. Climax ultimate bcz golden dollar purchased for girl from sinful act of money went in vain same way filled with own blood at last what classy reavel move. Complete movie is wow
😂
"star" nu sonnathum bha bha nu ozharuran paaru
I liked how the interviewer said she didn't like it and Baddie became defensive
I'm very frustrated with thisreview. In the past, BR reviews have always been spot-on for me, especially for smaller movies that are also available on streaming services. They steered me away from seeing "Maharaja" in theaters, which I now deeply regret. I trusted your review and ended up watching "Start", which was a total disappointment for me and my whole family.
I completely understand that tastes vary, and that's okay. However, your reviews are the only ones I trust because they usually align perfectly with mine. Missing "Maharaja" in theaters is a real bummer, and I can't help but wonder how many others might have skipped it based on this review.
The reason I'm explaining this in detail is because a single review can have a significant negative impact on a great film like "Maharaja."
I'm scared that BR being honest about his reviews and still getting backlash is gonna make him listen to what the masses want to hear.
he wont change..
இவருக்கு தமிழ் தெரியாதா? இது என்ன ஆங்கில பேட்டியா?
BR Crying why ?
He can't accept the film is blockbuster.
Dai Muttal Rangan ; it is the Screenplay that made the film blockbuster not the plot.
It shows clearly you are biased towards the film because you can't accept it's Victory.
Because you want only Mani Ratnam to give such a kind of film.
I didnt like jailer , but i loved maharaja , people are not only looking for highpoints , but a good story or screenplay which makes the watch interesting
jailer a notti dha maharaja nala irkum nu solanum a ena
Neega oru movie pannuga sir... athu kandipa Oscar ponum... Ilana Motta mandailaye vettuven sir😊

Appadi poodu.
Very Sad this movie was great…this is being too critical…you cannot sell old boy to the mass…you’ll need to make it a bit commercial.
This is purely based on community Nepotism review !!
Super sir,I respected your idea sir❤❤❤❤
In remembrance of Our Daughter Aasifa and many more of our daughters.
True. Its a good movie. For one time watch. Not an excellent movie. It has its own flaws.
Firstly, i don't always likes Mr. Baradwaj Rangan's reviews on movies.
But, we people have a bad habit that if a film talks about some serious stuffs then immediately it is considered as a good material. That's why a few years or decades ago there was a concept of film called "Social Message Padam" was exist. Those filmmakers literally exploited people by saying its a good message film, like recent one Bhoomi director scolded tamil audience for making fun of him.
Also, there was an era, if people criticize Mr. Mani Ratnam movies, then they'll be considered as fools.. they're blabbering without knowing the knowledge of cinema.
Likewise, if people criticize a movie which deals a serious political issues, then they'll be considered as illiterate, fools or something like that.
First basic thing of any movie is it should engage people. (Its true that not all movies are for everyone)
Idhu epdi irukuna.. enaku Stanley Kubrick, tarkovsky director films la avlo pudikaadhu.. it mostly makes me feel sleepy. But people like Christopher nolan loves Stanley Kubrick.
So, how it will be if someone comes and makes fun of you for not able to get connected with a most beautiful cinematic piece and thinking you're too small to understand these films?
Adhu oru kevalamana sindhanai dhaane? Also, he has some solid reasons to support his points, it may not reasonable to people but he has a stand.
And mostly, this anchor OMG! I'm exhausted with her stand and analysing skills on movies. I can't take a stand.. mudiyala..
"Saaaar, maybe ipdi irundhu irukalaamonu" she brings a point.. mudiyala.. it's a visual story telling, i dont know why she is thinking out of the story and all. Okay! I can understand her, people have eyes on mr. baradwaj rangan's review, so the channel wants to highlight it and she is trying to make all the eyes as her followers by asking random questions and stands again mr. Baradwaj.
Pity! 🌼
I don't have a problem with BR not connecting with a film. Its his taste and perspectives. I have a problem with the volume at which he points the negatives of some film and not for the others. Star (movie) had its shortcomings as well but the review didnt speak of it that loudly. I still like some perspectives that BR puts out but longer take them as a Godsay. Im sure there are many people who miss out such movies in a theatre after listening to these "star" reviews (no pun).
this movie kept you focus through the whole movie.
Even though i understand there is no logic behind the hero's strength about the hold on to something very strong, but I see here for rangarajan could not accept the brilliant scene that happens in the school, the director wanted to establish the very obvious thing about a father and then wanted shock us by revealing that its not his own daughter.... Moreover that scene worked for me coz, many of us in school have such principles & teachers who try to ignore or avoid the moment they realise the truth. such scenes are a slap on their face... no one stands up for justices too...Thats exactly what we want to see as an audience.. Lakshmi as dustbin was a bit religious sentiment, but I too agree about the jewellery being thrown at Anurag was staged. to surprise him.
BR is a great movie buff, even better interviewer with incredible observation but astonishingly he's the opposite wrt reviews
BR keep doing your honest reviews. Ignore the negatif .

Ellarukkum pudichada pudikkala nu sonna daan award winning reviewer….
Madam, Wasting money in discussing about films 24/7, 365 days in a year is a absolute waste of time. Disproportionately earning money in film vs. people who work brilliantly, intelligently in other industries is not be told or advertised. Very unfortunate.
Waste of time? May not work for you. Use the question WHY.
Think why people are doing this. You may get the answer
I agree with him
I event don't agree that a father loving his daughter so much but letting his fellows rape in front of him (seems not constructed well logically)
Bcos he is a hypocrite . he only cares about his daughter and Doesn't give a damn about other girls . Why do you think this is illogical? Please , this is a very good movie .there are Some logic mistakes but overall its very good.and please dont support this baradwaj guy. He literally told star is better and said maharaja is mot good. I dont even know on what criteria he is speaking .
Some people are like that... They go to any extreme in hurting other's family... No humanity or whatsoever but protect their own family.. Extreme selfish... There are many people like that.. They justify their acts saying any shitty story.. Poverty changed them etc... In this movie even its clear his wife wanted a good husband with moral values... But he lost such a family because of his wrong thoughts and wrong friendships... His same friend who raped other gals can anyday rape his own daughter... He didnt even understand that.. Path of darkness makes one believe its right and they become unstoppable... One should be social concious person too... Balance should be like none should hurt us & we shouldnt hurt anyone in this life... But the balance rarely happens.. One shouldn't hurt others as well as know how to protect themselves.. One should protect their family without hurting others... Some people believe we should stamp on/ cheat others then only we can survive...

@@AadhiraRR thee ithu thalapathy peru kettu visil adi . Thee Ithu gay pathi
Both of them the hero and the villain looked similar . They could have explored the both sides of the option a lot with that . Shown Anurag going through moral dilemmas every time his partners do an assault .
Adding more grey to each side and criccrosing could have workers better
As he said : great plot !
Oru doubt anurag akash than thirudan nu police ku yaru inform panni irupaganu movie la sollave ella ????????????????
After watching this i can no longer accept Baradwaj as a credible film critic anymore. As if Anyone who rates STAR has a decent movie makes them credible enough.
Movie Veralevel ❤ VJS aprom antha Ponnu oda acting💥💥💥
Screenplay was amazing but they could've shown Maharaja to try to get justice through the system and then embark on a revenge journey, somehow I felt that part is missed out
Video-a paakkaamale comment pannuveengala? Mudhal sentence-e solaranga naan pidikkalannu sollale. Spread love bro, not hate.
Can you keep the subtitles for this interview??
Thats what indian 2 , shankar says i like the film but i dont know wheether audience will lile
Interviewer konjam beter homework panitu vandhurukalam .. !! To extract his views , BR was struggling to find out whats her exact question & started answering randomly
Dae old sibbi raj don’t call yourself a reviewer lol😂
ஸ்டார் நல்லருக்குதா 🙄 மஹாராஜா நல்லா இல்லையா 🙄 இவன் 100ல் ஒருவன் சைகோ 😂😂😂
Totally agree with BR I found the film draggy all jammed in the last 20 mins and rather confusing..the twist plot abt daughter was a good idea but cant say the same for the execution...N no years dates shown in any scenes which makes the plot so confusing..n the dustbin fiasco just a drag.
The star of the film is the hero and villain with a splendid performance that has covered up the flaws of the storytelling by director.. VJ Sethupathi and AKashyap saved the film.
