I’m sorry to say proudly I can say after watching ayirathil oruvan, im not interested to watch Bahubali , in ayirathil oruvan there is a scene blood comes from women breast, I wonder one can show poverty like this, these are all reasons I think, really selva sir doing movie against generations & trend.
This was an excellent attempt by Mr. Selvaragavan... I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and its idea. What an imagination about missing Cholas... Huh... 3 cheers!!! Highly under appreciated film... My respect for the director grew and felt he has transformed into a film maker from just being a Director...
22.12 they are hiding in the cave for the chosen one to come even though they have magical powers they can't come out. The prophecy was " thuthuvan varuvan Maari poliyum" they have came out of a war, one can't simply go out and use their powers they didn't even know what is the power of the opponent. So until the prophecy to be happen they will be under the cave.
For all those who find any mistakes in Aayarathil oruvan - pls mind tat this movie came almost 10 years back and it came before Bahubali movie... This movie must watch for story, dialogues and not for graphic stuffs...
AO needed big budget actually, we can't complain about bcaz if a project need huge budget than it shouldn't have been done with low budget. Bcas of low budget entire product got disappointing.. Selva should have given more clarity with second half..
Till this I have watched this movie many times... But I didn't get bored... in every time when watching, get a new and difference experience... That is Selva Sir 👌
@@sanjaythakor6836 no one cares if it is a biggest blockbuster or not. The Baahubali series is no where nearer to Aayirathil oruvan.End of conversation.
at 2:02 you said it right "The tone of the movie changing". You just pointed out the exact and accurate point why this film bombed at BOX office and not well with the audience and reviewers. Even Selvraghavan has confused with the screenplay as the length of this film is shortened in final cut due to its humongous length of shots. People at that time doesn't have the knowledge of understanding a complex narration and multi layered story lines. But Telugu audience much appreciated this movie coz they have scene this kind of complex story lines and mythical type of screenplay. Hope Selva will give his best shot with the second part of this movie and he doesn't make the mistake what he did in this film. Also he needs to get the perfect ambitious producer rather than this film's producer who called him as "Psycho" at that time.
For the question asked around 19:08, there is a clear basic science behind. When Sound is beyond 170 decibels, a human brain loses sanity.. I can explain like this.. All the three characters enter a destructed kingdom, which is the seventh trap created by the Cholas. We see some long hair men pulling some stone-made instruments like in Ali baba and 40 thieves, which makes the structures in the kingdom to break.. They create sounds and the destruction sound is also too high.. So we also get audio sounds of what the character experiences as something very deafening. This makes them go insane and shoot at each other.. We later see, in the second half, these characters come and remove their dress in front of the old man and he checks for marks in their body.. Later these three characters are treated by acupunture type methods, by planting nails on their back.. They shout and in pain and get relieved from insanity.. we understood it in first watch itself..
I think selvaraghavan should have taken a little bit of time in post production as well as a little bit on screenplay then the movie is there. Still AO is there and independent. I felt the time travel from present to 12th century in very smooth manner. That's the uniqueness of the movie is what I believe.
I was so amused by the fact that the accented tamil distracted people from absorbing the movie plot, I am from Sri Lanka and we learn all these vocabulary of Tamil from a very young age in school. There was no need for extra study in the field of chola history because its all in Tamil. So yeah.. Learn Tamil.
Aw no, I didn’t know u were taking questions on Ayirathil Oruvan? How did I miss it? Mine would have been the allegory question and the Reema casting which you have answered, so thank u 😊
Excellent analysis and resonates with what I felt after watching this movie first time but couldn't articulate well enough. I've felt this movie is both uniquely underrated and overrated at the sametime. Unique and ambitious vision by the director, but execution was all over the place and failed to make the connect. I particularly remember, that at the interval block I was so excited and anticipating what adventure next and the second half felt like a totally different movie. And yes Reema Sen, just didn't fit, though good acting, didn't fit the authenticity aspect. This is something I've felt with many Selvaraghavan's heroines in his various films. Still would like to see a part 2 of this movie and have a closure. On a sidenote, yes, 7G is one of Selva's best yet and it was quite holistic, authentic, well executed and had that connect. Looking forward to his Nenjam Marapadhillai. Looking forward to your analysis possibly on Aalavandhan and Hey Ram. I feel these two were extraordinary movies that fell prey to too much censoring and conservative or immature mass audience at that point in time (those movies way ahead of time).
Actually the second half is like metaphoric film making. No one could have received the second half on first time watching. May be you can try it once again. I understood like that. Reemasen character is well set and that is the only character which is constantly traveling in same tone and she has done a good job. One more thing it is not at all appreciated at that time. I hope there is a different meaning for overrated.
Sir, with regard to the traps or obstacles, I was reminded of King Solomon's Mines. Though AO may be not be accused totally of imitations, certain influences can be felt. Ofcourse a person cannot escape himself from being influenced either consciously or unconsciously from the external forces.
*I SAW UR REVIEW, IT'S REALLY AWESOME, Ur explanation is awesome Sir* *And from the beginning itself U r spontaneous and intact About the movie review* *And I personally became ur fan after seeing ur reviews about all movies in recent time* * U r the reason I subscribed Film COMPANION south* *U deserve the National Award* *LOVE U LOTS & RESPECT FROM HEART Bharadwaj Rangan Sir*
First half is exact copy of King kong 98 movie. Ship journey to an island, romance, traps to stop visitors to a secret. Except you find parthiban instead of king kong.
People in the comments claim AO is better than Bahubali . But I don’t understand why haven’t they made this film a hit. AO is a hit film in Telugu and opened market for Actor Karthi in Telugu. Even today it’s one of the most frequently telecasted film in ZEE Telugu. I guess that’s the reason why period films are made less in tamil. Same goes to Telugu as well . People didn’t value films like 1 Nenonakkadine during its release and none of the cast and crew were given its their due credit for the film that year. But It later gained cult classic status . But No use Directors and actors stopped thinking of physiological thrillers till 2018.
Hi Mr. Br, can you also do this for Telugu movies please, we don't have any proper reviewrs and film experts to do this in Telugu, even your Hemanth is trying but he is not quite there. So please please
He clearly explained the differences and why not to compare with baahubali, also baahubali is made for more universal audience whereas AO is great imagination which didn't just come out well. I understand the cult following for this but I still agree with BR That it's mostly flawed. can't blame critics or audience
I had watched AO when it released and absolutely hated it. But later happened to watch it again and really fell for it simply because of the authernticity and the details of the nuanced script. You need a lot of attention to understand the details of the picture and understand his allegories.. 1. AO is referring to Karthi or the siddhar in the picture and it is their picture shown both in the first and the last title card. It is the destiny of these cholan citizen chosen to protect the legacy of the Kingdom and the bloodline in the issues of adversities. The first creates all these traps and predicts and the second tries to save them. 2. Its really quite an allegory(may be he didnt mean it but the similarities are too much). a. The izham province was called a izham and was part of the chola Kingdom during those times. So the current Srilankan tamils are part of the chola kingdom. b. Of course the war crimes are a huge similarity. c. MGR was born in Srilanka and though a malayali was actually a prominent tamil leader who actively helped during the initial phase of LTTE to negotiate with the Sri Lankan govt. d. India initially brought them together for discussions but later was turned against each other by the Sri Lankan govt, got hit by LTTE it self and then really couldn't do much when the human rights violation occured. e. The tiger symbolism of course and the life of the izham people during the final days is quite the same. 3. They had to stay at that place because thats where the messenger would come in search of them. If they change places now it won't happen. Its not like people had forgotten about them as well. Looking at the number of mad men there we can see that they constantly saw people from Pandyas and researchers coming to this place but none are the messenger. Since, everyone is made mad by the siddhar in the kingdom they never learn the truth of their Kingdom back in India. 4. See even Reema sen had sorcery skills, but they don't work in wars else she would have used through the film. This is as per the film.
I remember watching this in Telugu as yuganiki okkardu. I remember it being a very divisive movie, at least amongst my friends. I wasn't convinced by the special effects, dialogues and acting. Having said that I think I would have better appreciated the context and complexity if I had seen the movie in tamizh. Perhaps the movie should have been in multiple parts with adequate committments of time and money.
A film can have multiple tones.AO is very well story telling film there are some places where we can forcibly convince like using of super natural powers
When pandiyas were adapting themselves up to date with modern tech, was surprised why not cholas.. was not even a single man sent out as a spy among pandiyas or to outside world? If we refer ponniyin Selvan we would know tat each of the royal family member had one personal spy 2. They showed some ruins a kind of infrastructure where once Andrea would imagine ppl had once lived there peacefully. So what happened to their lives? Since when they started living underground? Why have they become ruins?
wtf! it is a standalone film and even if one Chola survives along with a new Rajguru like Karthi, it's a happy ending of course. I loved the ending, atleast not during the first watch but during later viewings.
Sorry, had to disagree aft listening half way through. I loved Aayirathil Oruvan the first time I watch it, no other Tamizh movie has impacted me like that. there is an inner depth needed to understand Aayirathil Oruvan. We dont have to argue, just a challenge. Watch "Enemy" Jake Gyllenhaal and dont watch any video to understand the movie, try to understand it yourself. if you manage to do it, Aayirathil Oruvan is no big feat then
First of all I agree with some of ur concerns but can't with the part where you spoke about sorcery. It was clearly mentioned by parthiban's character that they were needed to be in exile till they get the message from Thanjavur. Black magic and sorcery against Automatic machine guns and grenades, I wouldn't buy it any day.
I think this is the first video from BR that I strongly disagree with. Comparing it with Bahubali and calling bahubali a well written film is not right. Why was there an item song in Bahubali 1? The entire story for Bahubali was contained in Bahubali 2. Was there even a necessity for part 1? Other than shabby CG and Reema sen’s poor lip sync, AO had all the makings of a masterpiece.
It was not a typical body show item song...it's way more artistic and nothing obscene just to attract audience. Also AO has much more unnecessary steamy stuff compared to bb. What BR was saying was that AO changes its theme after every few scenes. There's a strong reason it got rejected by the audience not just VFX. It can't even be compared to Magadheera which released in 2009, it has a strong emotional connect in it. "It's not about the story, it's about story-telling".
@@CS2K23 lol what is so artistic in the item song?? It's no way connected to the story, remove the item song, the movie would have been the same.. Bahubali is a blatant rip off of kochadaiyaan and adimai pen
I completely agree with br's unbiased opinion, that bb is a btr made story. I also do understand people's sentiments, when critics without any bias, opine and praise other language film, comparing it with a native film. It's heartbreaking, but yeah truth must be told.
Rohit Aradhya It has a valid reason which can be related to the history. The language" Tamil" is the first and foremost language while other South Indian languages like Telugu .etc got derived from Tamil. So, if you relate this language evolution and development with scene , we can have better understanding. Character- Anita ( Reema Sen) who acts like a person from modern Chola dynasty, sings the song in Telugu and questions the king Parthiban like sing any poetic song ( Bharani, kalampagam, Ula) but Parthiban could sing only the worries they faced living in a arid region to safeguard themselves. He makes her to know that they aren't well versed in poetic and language development despite they fight for food! Hence the king Parthiban sings in Tamil.
@@arjunchandrasekaran777 hey boomer, telugu came from proto Central Dravidian. Languages like telugu, gondi, etc derived from proto central Dravidian. Don't misguide others for ur linguistic pride. If u have any common sense ABT language, there is no similarities b/w telugu and tamil. How can a language derived from the mother language without any similarities. If we leave u can say, the arava (tamil) language was there before the homosapien existence 🤭🤦🏻♂️
I'm a Sinhalese and coming from my point of view, I feel that the telugus or Dravidians made this movie to flop. People can say that this movie was ahead of its time, no Tamils will understand, but I can also say that the so called telugus disguised as Tamils , can also be against this movie....for simple terms....Cholas vs Pandyas is also perceived as Tamils vs the outer world. But the truth is, it was just a story telling between two different dynasties among the the Tamils...or maybe the Tamils of Sri Lanka vs India..or Bharat/ Hindustan.
Dude In Telugu it was a hit film and average in Tamil. It opened market for actor Karthi in Telugu. It’s the most frequently telecasted film in ZEE Telugu. Telugu’s have always appreciated good content irrespective of the language. Don’t comment in Telugu without knowing completely about them.
What is wrong with the questions asked in the RUclips community. You didn't even saw them. Waste of my question. if you care about questions in Twitter you should have said that first. Please give the correct information about posting questions
My profound apologies, Bala krishna sharma. What happened this time was that we got so many questions -- and terrific questions, they were -- that I would have needed a two-hour window to address them all. Due to time reasons, we went with some on twitter (also keeping in mind that they represented the general range of things people were asking about. Next time onwards, we will pick a few each from FB, Twitter, YT, Insta and my blog. Thank you for watching.
Anyone can write a story and even better writting in the usual story would definitely will look good for eyes. That is what Baahubali. But ayirathil oruvan is unique way of writing in a different genre where the king and his people waiting for a messenger for 700 yrs. I accept this story written with some toppings for film making. We accept Ponniyin Selvan though it is a PUNAIVU KADHAI
A clear distinction needs to be made! Bahubali is a fantasy and better written as a screenplay, well executed on screen. Whil AO was a great film conceptualized, but not well executed!
12:12 no wonder you find bahubali is well written, you acclaim movies like bigil over kaithi, kaatru veliyidai over vishwaroopam, nayagan over hey ram... Shows your inclination towards masala movies... Doesn't change the fact that bahubali is a badly written movie and I don't find any world building in bahubali, it didn't have any of the ancient touches, folklore elements, mural, or unique rules/politics that define a fantasy world.... All it had was big sets and cgi filled large scale battle sequences
Baahubali was indeed a showoff kind of film.Though the war sequence was beautifully choreographed it was quite lengthy.though the Indiana Jones style first half in AO was completely different from the historical thing in second half the former was to show how difficult it was to reach the cholas
My personal disconnect happened bcoz why they showed great chola kings with scocerry power as cave people struggle for food. King who order to kill his own people in food fight shown in introduction of parthiban
No I doesn't like Bahguballi. Because if we see one movie it wants to be in our memory atleast one month. What a wonderful movie is that!!!!!! But after seeing Bahguballi it's one week also I doesn't have in my memory. But Selva is awesome. Still now I will say what a movie is that Aayirathil Oruvan!!!!!! But Buhuballi I can't say like that. I can give credits for Bahguballi ok it's good. That's all
I’m sorry to say proudly I can say after watching ayirathil oruvan, im not interested to watch Bahubali , in ayirathil oruvan there is a scene blood comes from women breast, I wonder one can show poverty like this, these are all reasons I think, really selva sir doing movie against generations & trend.
Simply Goosebumps.....hats off to Selva sir for this whole movie🙏

This was an excellent attempt by Mr. Selvaragavan... I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and its idea. What an imagination about missing Cholas... Huh... 3 cheers!!! Highly under appreciated film... My respect for the director grew and felt he has transformed into a film maker from just being a Director...
But its not an attempt.....
Hey there!!! Great video and very helpful for me. Love it!! We should do a collab review!
Hi, surprised to see you here! Love your videos and watching you from Connecticut!
22.12 they are hiding in the cave for the chosen one to come even though they have magical powers they can't come out.

So until the prophecy to be happen they will be under the cave.

This ediot don't know Tamil culture specially Cheran Cholan pandiyan
even those sucks.
Magadheera was released in 2009 with 40 crore budget. No need to compare with Baahubali.
Aayirathil oruvan & AVATAR both released same year. I think so. What a co incident.. if u compare both film.. can realise .. main story line
Same story!

Plzzz plzz continue AO part-2
I had watched AO when it released and absolutely hated it. But later happened to watch it again and really fell for it simply because of the authernticity and the details of the nuanced script. You need a lot of attention to understand the details of the picture and understand his allegories..
1. AO is referring to Karthi or the siddhar in the picture and it is their picture shown both in the first and the last title card. It is the destiny of these cholan citizen chosen to protect the legacy of the Kingdom and the bloodline in the issues of adversities. The first creates all these traps and predicts and the second tries to save them.
2. Its really quite an allegory(may be he didnt mean it but the similarities are too much).
a. The izham province was called a izham and was part of the chola Kingdom during those times. So the current Srilankan tamils are part of the chola kingdom.
b. Of course the war crimes are a huge similarity.
c. MGR was born in Srilanka and though a malayali was actually a prominent tamil leader who actively helped during the initial phase of LTTE to negotiate with the Sri Lankan govt.
d. India initially brought them together for discussions but later was turned against each other by the Sri Lankan govt, got hit by LTTE it self and then really couldn't do much when the human rights violation occured.
e. The tiger symbolism of course and the life of the izham people during the final days is quite the same.
3. They had to stay at that place because thats where the messenger would come in search of them. If they change places now it won't happen. Its not like people had forgotten about them as well. Looking at the number of mad men there we can see that they constantly saw people from Pandyas and researchers coming to this place but none are the messenger.

When pandiyas were adapting themselves up to date with modern tech, was surprised why not cholas.. was not even a single man sent out as a spy among pandiyas or to outside world? If we refer ponniyin Selvan we would know tat each of the royal family member had one personal spy
2. They showed some ruins a kind of infrastructure where once Andrea would imagine ppl had once lived there peacefully. So what happened to their lives? Since when they started living underground? Why have they become ruins?
Must be a result of a Famines due to mismanagement of resources and also environmental issues
wtf! it is a standalone film and even if one Chola survives along with a new Rajguru like Karthi, it's a happy ending of course. I loved the ending, atleast not during the first watch but during later viewings.
Selva sir please come to tollywood and make movies with tarak, mahesh, allu arjun, vijay devarakonda
Sorry, had to disagree aft listening half way through. I loved Aayirathil Oruvan the first time I watch it, no other Tamizh movie has impacted me like that. there is an inner depth needed to understand Aayirathil Oruvan. We dont have to argue, just a challenge. Watch "Enemy" Jake Gyllenhaal and dont watch any video to understand the movie, try to understand it yourself. if you manage to do it, Aayirathil Oruvan is no big feat then
First of all I agree with some of ur concerns but can't with the part where you spoke about sorcery. It was clearly mentioned by parthiban's character that they were needed to be in exile till they get the message from Thanjavur. Black magic and sorcery against Automatic machine guns and grenades, I wouldn't buy it any day.
waiting for part 2...
Thank bro for supporting black color
super movie best director Selva Raghavan sir🔪🔥🔪🔥🔪🔥
Super
Selvaragavan is ready 4 chola payanam
AO2 is conformed
I think this is the first video from BR that I strongly disagree with. Comparing it with Bahubali and calling bahubali a well written film is not right. Why was there an item song in Bahubali 1? The entire story for Bahubali was contained in Bahubali 2. Was there even a necessity for part 1? Other than shabby CG and Reema sen’s poor lip sync, AO had all the makings of a masterpiece.
It was not a typical body show item song...it's way more artistic and nothing obscene just to attract audience. Also AO has much more unnecessary steamy stuff compared to bb. What BR was saying was that AO changes its theme after every few scenes. There's a strong reason it got rejected by the audience not just VFX. It can't even be compared to Magadheera which released in 2009, it has a strong emotional connect in it. "It's not about the story, it's about story-telling".
@@CS2K23 dont compare historical fiction with romantic movie
I think Baahubali and lion king story line and characterization are same
@@nandhinipriya5094 not at all. Characterizations are entirely different. Even plotline doesn't match.
@@CS2K23 lol what is so artistic in the item song?? It's no way connected to the story, remove the item song, the movie would have been the same.. Bahubali is a blatant rip off of kochadaiyaan and adimai pen
Sir make video about S.Balachander sir my GURU..💐
The movie was about Sri Lankan Tamils and India.Simple if you don’t know this you should not be blabbering...
What i found the script is would be an inspiration from Davinci code, did anybody felt the same as like me?
S but what about jesus's daughter and stuff is revealed only at end but her we know who is parthibans child from the first...
I completely agree with br's unbiased opinion, that bb is a btr made story. I also do understand people's sentiments, when critics without any bias, opine and praise other language film, comparing it with a native film. It's heartbreaking, but yeah truth must be told.
I too like 7G and pudupettai
Why does the Reema Sen character sing in Telugu during Thai thindra manne song, given that Chozhas and Pandiyas were Tamizh people?
Okay. Any other explanation?
Rohit Aradhya It has a valid reason which can be related to the history. The language" Tamil" is the first and foremost language while other South Indian languages like Telugu .etc got derived from Tamil. So, if you relate this language evolution and development with scene , we can have better understanding. Character- Anita ( Reema Sen) who acts like a person from modern Chola dynasty, sings the song in Telugu and questions the king Parthiban like sing any poetic song ( Bharani, kalampagam, Ula) but Parthiban could sing only the worries they faced living in a arid region to safeguard themselves. He makes her to know that they aren't well versed in poetic and language development despite they fight for food! Hence the king Parthiban
sings in Tamil.
@@arjunchandrasekaran777 hey boomer, telugu came from proto Central Dravidian. Languages like telugu, gondi, etc derived from proto central Dravidian. Don't misguide others for ur linguistic pride. If u have any common sense ABT language, there is no similarities b/w telugu and tamil.
How can a language derived from the mother language without any similarities.
If we leave u can say, the arava (tamil) language was there before the homosapien existence
🤭🤦🏻♂️
We have magical power in our siddhars. Why they didn't use and sitting in caves? Say answer for that. I will answer for this question
I'm a Sinhalese and coming from my point of view, I feel that the telugus or Dravidians made this movie to flop. People can say that this movie was ahead of its time, no Tamils will understand, but I can also say that the so called telugus disguised as Tamils , can also be against this movie....for simple terms....Cholas vs Pandyas is also perceived as Tamils vs the outer world. But the truth is, it was just a story telling between two different dynasties among the the Tamils...or maybe the Tamils of Sri Lanka vs India..or Bharat/ Hindustan.
Dude In Telugu it was a hit film and average in Tamil. It opened market for actor Karthi in Telugu. It’s the most frequently telecasted film in ZEE Telugu. Telugu’s have always appreciated good content irrespective of the language. Don’t comment in Telugu without knowing completely about them.
Even Selvaraghavan Mother is Telungu .
Baahubali la Prabhas react pannadhu orey oru reaction Mattum dhan
Why everyone is obsessed with Baahubali here ?
Baahubali is cliched as hell. I felt bored watching Baahubali 2 even in theatre.
Good for u. Its a masterpiece in indian cinema
What is wrong with the questions asked in the RUclips community. You didn't even saw them. Waste of my question. if you care about questions in Twitter you should have said that first. Please give the correct information about posting questions
My profound apologies, Bala krishna sharma. What happened this time was that we got so many questions -- and terrific questions, they were -- that I would have needed a two-hour window to address them all. Due to time reasons, we went with some on twitter (also keeping in mind that they represented the general range of things people were asking about.
Next time onwards, we will pick a few each from FB, Twitter, YT, Insta and my blog. Thank you for watching.

Thank you
Anyone can write a story and even better writting in the usual story would definitely will look good for eyes. That is what Baahubali. But ayirathil oruvan is unique way of writing in a different genre where the king and his people waiting for a messenger for 700 yrs. I accept this story written with some toppings for film making. We accept Ponniyin Selvan though it is a PUNAIVU KADHAI
It's Karthik the ayirthil orvan said by "Selva Raghavan"
😍
Only Karthi is aayirathil oruvan . Selvaragavan told this..
A clear distinction needs to be made! Bahubali is a fantasy and better written as a screenplay, well executed on screen.
Whil AO was a great film conceptualized, but not well executed!
12:12 no wonder you find bahubali is well written, you acclaim movies like bigil over kaithi, kaatru veliyidai over vishwaroopam, nayagan over hey ram... Shows your inclination towards masala movies... Doesn't change the fact that bahubali is a badly written movie and I don't find any world building in bahubali, it didn't have any of the ancient touches, folklore elements, mural, or unique rules/politics that define a fantasy world.... All it had was big sets and cgi filled large scale battle sequences
Nayagan was a good movie only and an epitome of Indian gangster films.
Baahubali was indeed a showoff kind of film.Though the war sequence was beautifully choreographed it was quite lengthy.though the Indiana Jones style first half in AO was completely different from the historical thing in second half the former was to show how difficult it was to reach the cholas
Every one is attempting bahubali as benchmark.for me it's always airathil oruvan..
My personal disconnect happened bcoz why they showed great chola kings with scocerry power as cave people struggle for food.
King who order to kill his own people in food fight shown in introduction of parthiban
Listen to the lyrics of Thai Therndra Mannae song ... even if its Ambani, when his family is poor, he had to beg ... ok
*If there are 1000000 videos about **#1000ilOruvan** available on RUclips* 💜😍

AO 2 and PONNYIN SELVAN is going to F**k up all the world BOX OFFICE
Using super natural powers in war is out of the war ethics, that’s why they didn’t use those @filmcompaniansouth
For the first time i strongly disagree with BR !

pls, keep it short next time..
Kalaiarasan its an analysis
AO is better than bahubali
Mr. Br its a cult, witch no one ever touched till date from south indain cinema
No I doesn't like Bahguballi. Because if we see one movie it wants to be in our memory atleast one month. What a wonderful movie is that!!!!!! But after seeing Bahguballi it's one week also I doesn't have in my memory. But Selva is awesome. Still now I will say what a movie is that Aayirathil Oruvan!!!!!! But Buhuballi I can't say like that. I can give credits for Bahguballi ok it's good. That's all
