Not a good sign for tamil cinema.

I was dismayed on reading reviews and hearing from people in India that the movie ‘New’ is a big hit. This puts me in shock. Where's tamil film industry taking us and what’s happening to the tamil viewer’s taste out there. I saw the movie for the sake of watching it and felt that the movie is gross to the core. There were quite a few carnal and sensual scenes which makes one feel how cheap or mean the director was. This is a bad sign in kollywood because I’m sure this movie will instigate producers to take up worst projects like this. Its been happening for a while in tamil industry. Movies like ‘Thuluvatho Illamai’, ‘Jayam’,  ‘Thiruda Thirudi’ and some other movies(I’m not able to remember) are not ought to be super hits. I wonder how they become one. Moreover there’s nothing new in ‘NEW’, because it was just the replica of the Tom Hanks starrer ‘BIG’ mixed with some Indian masala.

The only soothing fact is the music from ARR. Songs are damn good. As usual he has shown his great talent. Special accolades to the melodious ‘Kaalaiyalk Thinnamum’ song.
