6 Songs : Mind Blowing!!
Source :HinduTimes

Simply mind-blowing

November 20

Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi can’t stop raving about the songs of Mani Ratnam’s Yuva. “A.R. Rahman and Mani Sir and dynamite together,” says Vivek on the sets of Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria’s Masti, and adds, “The six songs Rahman has recorded for the film are mind-blowing.”

Ajay Devgan, his co-star in Yuva and Masti, uses the same words to describe them. Incidentally, when the film was launched earlier this year, Mani Ratnam had decided not to have a single song in it.

Vivek also feels that Abhishek Bachchan’s is the best role and best performance in the film. “That guy’s career will take off in a big way after Yuva,” predicts Vivek.

  I agree with u sad..MAddy thinks he's helluva cinema critic...This guy is confused..bringing in virumandi and comparing it with AE is absolute crap..Both movies are totally different in terms of music and story...
  Actually guys Ae is entertaining..the only drawback is the wafer-thin storyline...Other departments deserve applause..Why nobody highlight the action sequence??the bridge fight btw surya madhvan and siidd is mindblowing...That's what i call action unlike in aalavnadhan...
  
  An honest opinion..if anyone offer me tickets to watch virumandi/Ae second time..i'll definitely go for AE..eventhough Virumandi has a strong story...cos 'entertaining'is the keyword here

  //Kamal beat Mani//???
  Bull*shit...
  As such Kamal looted the so-called innovative story telling capability in Virumandi from the Japanese Maesto Akira Kurosawa's 1950's classic 'Rashomon'.FYI Rashomon went onto win the top-notch award in the prestigious Venice film festival and it also won the Best Foreign Film oscar in 1952.Kamal never acknowledged that he inspired his technique from the Master film maker,rather he maintained it as if the idea was his brain child....Mani has always said that he got interested into film making watching Kurosawa's film,and he has always said that Rashomon is the one movie which changed his life into cinema.If AE follows that structure,what's a big loss there..this is not a loot unlike that 'Thirudan' Kamal who never cares to acknowledge the source but throws a bundle of baloney on world-cinema,world class film making and all that crap...and i have not yet watched the movie,but am damn sure that the action in this movie will be n times better than all those Aalavandhan sequences which Kamal boasted of World class quality.Mani by any means a Master in handling any sort of story unlike Kamal who knows only to loot.

  Its a good movie, i wish this succeeds at the box office.
  Bharatiraja was very good.
  Surya flashes his brilliance now and then.
  Maddy - terrific performance probably his best, And the best in the movie.

  tha very same sudden and abrupt ending for Ayutha Ezhuthu tooooo..Very dissappointing after all. Especially Madavan's character has been so confused and wasted making the whole buildup to his character totally go to waste. When he kills his brother, that makes him no different from his brother himself who also decided to kill him to protect his own life. The worst was yet to come, when he just shoots his good friend cold bloodedly. Mani should writing story and screenplay and just stick to directing. The direction and acting by all cast was superb. What a way to waste all that with such script. Would not appeal to the mass, and my prediction is it will be a box office flop.

  BTW Virumandi having good music,accepted... its by the Maestro and he gave what the movie needed...
  But it has good story? oh am still searching where's the story..rather what's the point Kamal wanted to make in it?..nothing..he drove the two and half hours with gory ghastly violence,then finally ended the movie with a talk show in Sun TV(then only Sun will give good rating and will also buy the satellite rights for good sum)...ha ha the movie is abt Capital Punishment amm? great ,are we fools???
  
  Anyway am digressing ,Sorry let's talk abt AE,Virumandi came in jus because of the mindless comparisons done here already...

  cm....you are absolutely right...it was a big let down. In fact...it will end up diluting the Maniratnam brand significantly.
  
  Thamizhan......totally agree....Virumaandi was an average movie where Kamal was luck with the timing of its release (virtually no other movie for Pongal) and the Dr/Sandiyar controversy...he ended up getting a 'big' opening. But....because it didn't have the 'substance' or the 'entertainment' value showed in its staying power at the box-office. It had to end up as an 'average' film at the box-office. Frankly...it had all the traits and makings of another Hey Ram...but the above two factors saved Kamal's face with an average hit. Understandable....Kamal was in dire straits and was desperate for a commercial success after a series of 5 flops....but what was surprising was that how some of the websites and members in the discussion forums were bloody quick and hell bent on making a classic out of it (which at least can be excused on the basis of taste differs and is subjective)...but worse...were trying to claim that it was a hit (which is not subjective...is it?)!
  
  Let us appreciate good movies from Kamal (and Mani for that matter)...but let us not make a classic out of an average film...and call it 'different'....'path breaking' and allthat crap....because it comes from Kamal or Mani or anyone for that matter!
  
  Let us be...objective...broad minded...and unbiased!

  MADDY:
  
  --i think AE and yuva are a bit ahead of times in the sense ppl. on both hindi and tamil are xpecting diff. kind of movies like masala,rowdy saving society,love story of a cancer patient.....so AE,Yuva are really out of place...
  
  ahhaha, I think you are going to criticize all tamil film wathcing crowd as ricksaw-walas and such .. I know it'll come from you soon :))

  AE is definitely not a classic but give credit where it deserves, its much better than flicks like gilli and Arul.
  Maddy's role is not half baked, he is just an unpredictable guy, who is insensitive most of the times.
  Ratnam is not icing the character or glorifying it cuz its played by a hero and not a routine villain.
  
  
• From: Thamizhan (@ 61.1.202.177) on: Sat May 22 03:52:46 EDT 2004
  
  As Jacky says..
  AE is not going to be a classic of sorts,and nobody can expect this movie to get screened in the Masters category of Toronto international film festival along with the likes of Adoor,Dasgupta (am not comparing Mani with them anyway)as KM did.KM was a commercial flop...Can Mani as a producer afford to give another flop?...
  To make a commercial hit Mani needs to do something of this sort,that's it.Though one can't claim this as a Master piece and all that...it's definetely going to be better than Arul or Gilli stuff.
  I wish the movie to be a commercial success...Ratnam expects only that from this venture.And i fully agree with you Kanna,a movie should be judged objectively..we can't judge it as a Masterpiece and all thay hungama jus b'cos it comes from Ratnam or Kamal...and again its grossly cheap to put down this movie as a mindless effort,jus b'cos Rahman scored for it(i guess some ppl are doing that only here)
  
  //Let us be...objective...broad minded...and unbiased!//
  I fully second you here...
