New Wave of Tamil Films

Among the new Tamil films released over the past year or so , the following were the good ones -
  • Subramaniapuram
  • Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu
  • Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puravum
  • Pasanga
  • Nadodiagl
offbeat themes, different subjects, decent picturization, bold attempts - which should be applauded and rewarded. Very correctly, the public and the critics are unanimous in applauding these films - though the commercial results were mixed, it is good to note the fresh wave of new directors and experimenting producers.

While the above movies are mostly with new faces or with small actors - the so called big budget films and the Stars failed miserably at the box-office - except for Suriya's Aiyan, none of the hyped up films stood up to their billing - this include Kuruvi, Villu, Sathyam, Thoranai, Vaaranam Aayiram .....et all ...
