The Score Of Movies In 2008

Another Silambarasan venture that doesn’t seem to be getting much of a move ahead.

HIGHS:
Nothing particular except Silambarasan’s face value and the stills that looked different from the run of the mill.

LOWS:
Have heard nothing of it in the past couple of months.

Paruthiveeran Karthi’s long awaited follow up to his thunderous debut along with the Selvaraghavan stamp.

HIGHS:
Karthi’s Paruthiveeran brilliance still shines bright and any movie by Selvaraghavan is expected to be a class apart, technically and aesthetically.

LOWS:
Has been out of the spotlight for quite some time now.


Silambarasan’s post-Kaalai endeavor which had managed to create a ripple when first announced.

HIGHS:
The haunting stills that marked the launch that still linger on in our minds.

LOWS:
Intermittent shooting schedules and talks of the project being shelved.



Bala’s magnum opus following the life of a man who looks like a saint. No single movie has had so much news about it in the past couple of years.

HIGHS:
Bala’s high standards and the curiosity generated by the distinctly interesting and potentially controversial theme.

LOWS:
The huge delay and lots of negative publicity with cast changes and budget issues.


Goutham Menon’s long pending look at the lives of a few youngsters has grabbed some attention.

HIGHS:
The expectations that usually go with a Goutham movie and of course Rahman’s music.

LOWS:
Was announced long back, the lag factor will affect the popularity.
