Thenali

God, just because Kamal i left this movie. What he has proved in this movie is how good he can copy a western movie and badly make it. I am totally disappointed. I know Tamil Cinema sometimes live on borrowed story lines but to copy a good movie and remake it badly is really a sin.

There is nothing much to say about the acting, if Kamal feels talking Srilankan Tamil is a new way of acting (thats the only thing i found amusing) then he should forget expecting niceties from movie buffs. Performance wise i didn't see any great performance in this movie. All mediocre.

I hope Bill Murray doesn't see this movie, he might kill himself.

One Amazing Movie with Loads of Amazingly funny dialogues. Have laughed non-stop for scenes together.Kamal Hassan is undoubtedly the KING of comedy!! his acting, his vel, his mannerisms is just Mind blowing.Not to undermine Jayarams acting.His comedy timing is AWESOME too. Every character has some really funny dialogues from Diamond Babu's "I love.. Murkku" , to a TV reporter saying "unga Mentalla Medicalla programma paarthern" to Matrabootham's assistant never getting the name Thenali right (he goes thru sundali anjali mandali and loads of other names!) Although its a ripoff from What about Bob (which was another great movie!), its definitely got its own charm. All in all, a GREAT movie watching experience which no one should miss

Kamal,Ravikumar and crazy Mohan has done a few films.In my opinion they are all very good.Story and plot may be a copy but it was done in a very good manner that suits Tamil culture of the present days.Kamal was speaking Srilankan Tamil very well.He deliver crazy Mohan's dialogue very naturally.You can appreciate this film only if you know the language. Jayaram is very under rated actor.He is domineering equally with great Kamal.If you know the Tamil films full of sentimental values and family dramas,I can say this film is a turning point.I cannot stop laughing even after the end of movie.I like it so much and bought a DVD to watch now and again.The DVD make me to realise how much technically the Tamika films advanced.Remember because of a small market one can invest only a small sum to make a movie in Tamil.They did it very well and it become a commercial success as well. Delhi Ganesh acting as Mathrubootham has done a marvellous job.He portrayed the jealousy beautifully.

What started off as a mediocre US movie (what about bob) becomes a wretched Tamil one. Kamal Hasan has been a good actor in the past. Not so here. He does some good slapstick and his accent's ok, though. Still, the movie is one of the worst Tamil movies I've seen.

This tamil movie is a very funny movie, (if you disregard the normal tamil movie elements such as dance and fights). Right from the start to end, Kamal with his wonderful adaptation of "Srilankan Tamil" has kept me laughing. I recently saw the movie after a long time, and still I laughed like a maniac. Of course there is no meaty substance to the movie, but for a day to relax and make it stress free rent this movie in your neighbourhood indian stores and watch it.
