I am Tamil I like valameenukkum velangumeenukkum song which is a Tamil folk(Ghana) song. I went for this movie called chithiram pesuthadi to see the song. I was pleasantly surprised with the first half.I enjoyed the song however I was shocked with the method the movie was taken. It was a message send by the director to the Tamil cinema world. Guys I am right here take a look at me. Thats exactly what the title meant as well chittiram pesuthadi means something similar to a picture can speak 1000 words though can't be directly translated to English. It did speak a lot, the subject and the message was evident and very effective as well. Thats when i decided to watch his next movie. Later I came to know about anjathey and I was literally waiting along with my friends to watch the movie. The movie went on to be a block buster. I wondered what will be running inside this guys mind Wow ! I mean the director. A story teller . A beautiful mind. He dint have to open his mouth and utter those words, I respect the audience intelligence, the movie is a example by itself. Every character is chiseled though the main characters are protagonist. In real life there is no real villain only grey shades white and very few blacks and loads of intolerance, which makes things a chaos. Such are the characters in the movie.Pluse points of the movie 1)Well planned pace of the movie is like a poem. 2) The tint in the movie gives it a dark shade. 3) Music BGM is something i always like in all his movies. 4) Camera angles are a wonder. 5) Climax is a blast. 6) Directors ability to play with audience mind is outstanding.

We people have the habit of comparing our sivaji to Marlon Brando. kodambakkam is always compared to Hollywood mind you half Tamil movies are remade in Hindi and are block busters in Bollywood. I would compare him to Christopher Nolan though working style is different. I am doing this as a victim of his genuineness. He can keep you riveted to his story until the movie is over and after. Happy the Tamil cinema is changing. Sometimes i feel like leaving everything and go join him as a assistant director. Anjathey will tease you, make you cry, make you sit at the edge of the seat and don't be surprised if you forget the popcorn your holding in your hands. A must watch, without any disturbances.
