shanmugam,
prasant did emote brilliantly in the scene where he hesitantily proposes aish,where he yells at aish in the climax,in the dining room scene where he speaks about indian culture etc.you just cannot be this judgemental with an upcoming star .learn to encourage ,coz today's newcomers are t'morrow's achievers. you cannot expect him to perform like chevaliar sivaji ,amongst his peergroup he is good.

Defender,
I will definitely Prashant's performance in "Jeans" and "Kannaedhirae Thondrinaal" when compared to that in movies like "Kalluri Vaasal", "Raasa Magan", "Aanalazhagan" and "Chembaruthi". He has definitely improved. But, for sure, he is not the best among his peers. I am not an insane person to expect him to perform like the great "Chevalier" "Sivaji" Ganesan (for that matter, I can't compare even an actor of the calibre of Kamalhassan with "Sivaji"... "Sivaji" is a legend). Still, Prashant has to improve a lot. I liked him in "Kannaedhirae Thondrinaal" more than I liked him in "Jeans". Among his peers, Vijay is the best. Also, his performance did very little for the success of the movie. Right?

shanmugam,
i never used 'best' i just told he is good.vijay is ofcourse the best in his peergroup
i do agree with you.i had just mentioned prasant's perfomance as one of the reasons and not the only reason.may be the last little reason.

IR 's music is to be released in ITALY by an accidental fan of his music and my friend,
Massimo Simonini,from Bologna, watch out!
AR no doubt is the craftiest and most tactful
of all, but I would rate him as the best
Version Recordist.
IR fell prey to his own 'Formula' music and
fixation to 'one' raag, like in a classical concert,and made AR's Baroque music entry easier
as against his Roccoco.
No film with a 'wrong' plot has ever run, be it
have great songs/stars/etc.,,
bye.

If only songs are good, why not run the cassette or make video album from the movie songs and watch?

For people who rave about the whiz kid ARR's
music, has anyone of his movies run for just
his songs? The latest example is KK which
boasting of such a variety of actors and
actresses, has been reviewed as disappointing.
ARR's music could hardly make any difference.
Iam sure people will describe everything in
terms of musical notations and conclude that
eventhough the movie didn't run, it was not
ARR's fault. But if the movie runs, the same
people will rave about ARR's music concluding
that it made the movie successful.

Just curious. Can u name a few.
I remember one movie 'Ellam un Raasi???' *ing Rajini & Seema. The songs(sadly by our Maestro) were so bad that it was impossible to sit through an already very bad movie. The movie was not even released in many circuits(leave alone a flop)
I think it must be the biggest flop of Rajini!

Balaji,
There's another big flop of Rajni!
Un KaNNil Neer VazhindAl!
YG Mahendran had more scenes than Rajni, if I remember correctly!
The worst film of Balu Mahendra, IMO!
But it had some excellent songs from IR: 'KanNNil Enna KAr KAlam', 'Mazhaye Mazhaye UllAsam'..
Now, to answer your query:
I'll name a few:
Kovil KALai (PAndiyan, Jayashri and a baby elephant)
Innisai Mazhai (I don't know if the MD was IR, but for all that hype about Innisai, it just vanished without a trace)
Kodi Parakkudhu
Pudhiya Mannargal and VaNdi ChOlai Chinrasu (ARR's worst scores so far)
A lot of Arjun-Ilavarasi, PANdiyan, Anandbabu flicks..

Neels,
Pandian, Jayashri movie is Kovil Yaanai
if I remember it correctly.
Innisai Mazhai had IR as MD and had some
very good songs.
And Unn Kannil Neer Vazhindhal was not
such a bad movie eventhough it was not
successful. Kodi Parakkathu was really
worse though and vanished without a trace.
If those movies had been released today, they
would have been a big success considering
movies like Padayappa, Arunachalam have been
big hits. UKNV is definitely a very good movie
compared to the likes of Padayappa etc.
And about ARR's movies that you have classified
as flops, the reality is they didn't have any
big stars and ARR's music couldn't make them
succeed on its own(and ARR's music will never
have that ability and so he avoids working with
new directors etc after that).

Emathiteengale!!!
I thought you are going to list movies that failed mainly/partly beacuse of bad songs.
AThi is right. Innaizai Mazhai had that 'Dhoori Dhoori Manadhukkuke Dhoori.. Laali Laali ' song (by SPB & Vijay's amma, Shobha I think). There were couple of other good songs. The movie surely did not flop because of songs (Song picturization may be ! who knows-- only if it had been in theateres for a week)
Kodi Parukkudhu had that 'Selai kattum Pennukku..' song. I think there was another duet which was decent too.
Vandi Cholai -- 'Sugam Sugam edhu ' a soft melody and 'Chithirai nilvu selaikku??? vandhadhu kanne!' song.
Puthiya Mannagrgal is the worst of the lot. Even it had that average 'Vaadi Saathukkudi..' song (Even Shrikanth's Neyar Viruppam channel plays this song)
None of the movies failed beacuse of songs, IMHO.

IR IS A LION. ARR is a CUB. We have to wait and see how long ARR can go? Certainly,as Mr Yuhi Sethu mentioned,ARR is a good version recordist and a good compiler rather than a composer.
I think Mr Yuhi Sethu's comment reflects the knowledge and depth he has in the art of filmmaking. Sad that My Yuhi Sethu din't make it big in Commerical Tamil Cinema!!!
