Udhaya:
I am probably one of those guys who wants to attract attention by misbehaving only to prove that he too can behave well when somebody's paying attention ! Gee, I frighten myself with my 'intelligence' - should've been a psycholanalyst ! Reading some of my older posts, I felt it was a little bit like a kid sulking ! But I am glad that I am able to feel so passionate about something in life ! There are some things that you stick by in life, no matter what opposition or criticism it raises. That's my Holy Grail. But sometimes you've got to make out like an idiot. This thread serves the purpose just fine :-)))) This reminds me of cartoon (R.K.Laxman ?) that came out when Raj Mohan Gandhi first announced his candidature against Rajiv Gandhi in Amethi. The caption was "I bet my grandpa could've licked your grandpa !" :-)))

Srinath:
Have you figured out yet who it is "that could take a crack at the IR/ARR/Deva fans' styles while being so complimentary to IR's music" yet? Again, glad to see you having fun too :-))

Srinath, that cartoon was funny as hell. I saw a modern version on billboards for a Levi's ad directed at Calvin Klein's sticky models...where some buffy leather-clad guys stare menacingly. The caption reads,"Our models can beat up their models."
Okay, now someone really has to go after ARR to spill some venom there too. In the eyes of satire no one is holy.

Looks like everybody is having fun with the
right attitude - I am happy.
Man! I am amazed by the KINDALs of all you guys.
Udhaya, you must have read "TFM Stories & Titbits"
thread about some guy who got FUNGUS from ARR.
I guess that guy put the info in the wrong thread,
that should have been here!!
Can we expect more from our "some_flash_newser" ??

This is the MOST FLASHEST & recent news for Deva fans,
similar to "IR in GOA" for IR fans &
"ARR gave me SORRI SIRANGU" (please refer to "TFM Stories & Titbits"
permanent thread) for ARR fans. If you are a DF-Regular, you would
probably know how jealous the ARR fans would feel about the guy
who got the fungus from ARR -
"chE! koduthu vachavan yaar!
what a lucky guy to get the HEAVENLY SORRI"
(excuse me! for using the word HEAVENLY for ARR)
and some-most-conditioned-and-kurutAmpOku-ethir-katchi-thOzar might
respond, without knowing whats been discussed,
"NO NO! our fellow is the GOD in SORRI SIRANGU too"
New Micro-Budget Movie
----------------------
Let me come to the FLASEST NEWS from KOLLIWOOD:
After incurring lose for the MEGA-BUDGET Jeans movie, Shankar has
agreed todo a VERY-LOW-MICRO-BUDGET movie for Amirthraj.
The name of the movie is "kathar"
( "kAthi" as an alteranate name is also under suggestion to reduce
poster printing expenses)
Regarding cost cutting measures and to make Kathar another musical hit
Amirthraj has the following startegies...
Introducing the new MD
-----------------------
Since ARR is very expensive, Shanker preferred Deva.
After hearing Amrithraj saying ....
Why waste money paying more to Deva, when his BROTHER can do
the same for less!!!
Deva's brother will be introduced as a new upcoming
MD - who will recycle the original tunes of ARR from Jeans.
ARR's reaction
---------------
ARR has requested that due credits should be given to him
in the titles of Kathar by saying "Originals modified from Jeans"
"apdinnA Jeans pAttukaLin originals-ai list pOtta
athuvE 10 nimisham Odum" - endRu AmirthrAj
muNu muNuthu peru-moochu vittAr - engirAr TIRF (athANga, Theevira.....)
Deva disappointed !!
-----------------
When asked about his BRO's intro, emotionally disturbed DEVA said :
This is a back-stab!!
He leaving me will be a MUCH BIGGER news than the MSV-TKR split.
The quality of upcoming movies will show who is going to
be the MSV - ME! or HIM!
(insider news says that - this is a new strategy by Deva's
family to ORANGATIFY other xerox-ers like Sirpi, Vidya,...
and take the TFM for the MOTHTHA KUTHTHAGAIKU)
When asked "Can you survive w/o your bro ?", Deva vehemently replied:
If I can't survive, I will do ORIGINAL music (for a change),
prove myself and QUIT.
(he meant "KICKED-OUT" - was the insider's comment)
The BRO Suspense Game
---------------------
Amazed by the "Who is going to be the MD for MArudhanayagam" thread's
speculations & enthusiasam and Kamal's tactics, Amirtharaj has planned
to play the "guess-who-the-MD-for-the-movie" game and will NOT
release the secret of WHICH BROTHER OF DEVA would be the MD
for Kathar.
So many speculatiions & rumors are flying in the industry.
At this point, I would like to request the DF organizers to add a
SEMI-Permanent thread with topic:
"Is it Subesh OR Murali OR the 3rd unknown Bro!!"
So that we can do postings like.....
"athAndA ithAndA" song's
3rd line was the inspiration/input of Subesh and the
4th line was the inspiration/input of Murali.
And is VERY VERY CLEAR that the 3rd line is the copy of
some IR's "so-so" song and the 4th line was the ditto of
ARR's "blah-blah" song - which clearly proves that
Subesh has better quality & standard of music by copying IR music
rather than copying ARR's music.
SUBESH RULEZ!! AFTER IR!!
IR IS GOD! SUBESH IS POOSARI!!
The challenge to new MD
-----------------------
Based on severe cost cutting suggestions,
previously captured, all the seven wonders scenes will be
over-lapped with one wonder over other and the people will be
wondering what wonder they are seeing and the result will be a
7 factorial (7!) wonders.
This "factorial wonders" song is going to require challenging music
of STATE-OF-THE-ART-CUT-N-PASTE-RE-SHUFFLE-COMBO for DEV BRO
- an industrsy analyst quoted.
(one DF regular-adithadi-hee_hoo_haa-fan thinks....
adichathu yOgam, I can start one thread for each-n-every para
of this song,,HAAAA..HAAA)
What about the Lyricks ?
------------------------
VM will do the lyrics by taking less money - by just
reshuffling the original words and NOT BREAKING HIS HEAD
(which is the main cost factor)
When Amirtharaj approached, VM aksed him:
"sutta pazam vENumA ? sudAtha pazam vENumA ?"
Seems like there is a compromise with some suttum-sudAtha-pazams
The reshuffled song would be like:
ubrahai uprahai uprahaiyooooo!
50Kg fax machine enakkA ? unakkA ?
Tajmahal bike standil neeyA ? nAnA ?
(Next para humming would be slightly differnt)
instead of "harappa" it woul be...
moho moho mohanjotharA
What about story, BGM, Special effects ??
----------------------------------------
Since a weak story line was the main reason for Jeans failure,
Kathar will have a STRONG story line...Shankar said
in Kathalikka nEramillai Nagesh style:
kathai enna! kathai enna-nu avan avan maNdaip pichikiRa aLavu
kathai irukkum,
for example
In regular Tamil movies about Twins, other people always get
confused about who is who - except MGR movies were
a thick beard or big scar on the face will differntiate.
In Kathar,
the twin Prasanths, themselves will get confused who is who
and they goto Nasar for help - who will start a flashback(I)
on how he used to resolve it when Prasanths' were kids.
During this kids flashback, Nasar will himself do another
flashback(II) on how the twin Nasars' used to resolve
their doubts on who is who.
This "flashback-within-flashback" is a new concept which will be
the main back-bone of the moview and I AM REALLY counting on
DEVA'S BRO todo a great job with BGM while shifting between
and looping thru different flshbacks.
If you are a keen observer of BGM, just by listening to it
you will find out at which 'Nth' flashback is going on.
(Industry pistha-critic said "hmmm, it is going to be another
Back to the Future" )
(Sorry, no time for special-effects comment)
Looks like Kathar has completely replaced the media hype of Marudhanayagam.
Soon DEVA'sBRO may start the thread "How to remix/re-produce ARR songs" just to get
DF's techno pithas' inputs.
Looking forward to more threads about Kathar.
Amirtharaj & DEV's BRO appreciate any suggestions from DF KOSTI.
