    An Indian Titanic!!!

    Fabulous Love Movie Of All Time A Must Watch Flim To Everyone Atleast Once In Our Lifetime a Finest Love Flim Of The Century.
    ryder-prem

    Worth a watch!!!

    No big speculation,no big cast,not a great technical crew,not an intelligent director..but the product is simply superb.It was delightful to see the movie Madharasapattinam, directed by Vijay. Its was Romance/History genre,for a change. The highlight of the movie are the stars Arya and Amy.The former came up and decent acting..and the other had a delightful smile and looks which you won't forget for a week.... The other important aspect of the movie was the music by G.V.Prakash..Both the Bgm and songs was tremendous..Pookal Pookum and Kaatrile was awesome number...... The dialogues of the movie was also quite good,like "400 Varusathukapram Thirupi Adikirom!"-MS.Bhaskar..the comedies was also good and came with the track of the movie... The disappointing factor is the impacts of the moovie Titanic in it.The Question is are we guys gone out of brains to have some originality in our movies!!! Otherwise its good movie to watch,and i highly recommend to watch it on screens,especially for GV and Amy!!!

    Extraordinary performed movie

    Very very expectant movie. enthusiastic. marvelous love story. songs are very superb & awesome. asking to hear more and more. lyrics also breaking point. after a long time good love story among mega superstars. stunning performance. i have refer nearly more than 50 persons to view the movie. even me too take it 10 times. also need more to taste.

    Indian titanic especially south Indian. after "uyire" movie this film made sensation. don't miss .

    i don't have any other words to say...

    Madharasapattinam-True that the love and emotions we hold for someone when in the presence of him/her is an extra ordinary sense that GOD has created in us.But something which is more divine is the feeling which we have towards them in the same magnitude or even greater when our mind and heart knows the fact that they are away or even out of our lives.A Sweet romantic story well told and well captured in the backdrop of Indian independence.Amy Jackson is cute lovely and beautiful and has shown good acting talents.Einstein's theory proved yet again by by making you feel the otherwise lengthy first half not so lengthy at all (Let his soul rest in peace). has done a decent job.the movie is well supported by almost all the one in the acting crew.the end was great and emotional.the movie would have been awesome if director had taken bit more care on the graphical end and with the replacement of the horrible background score...and also the the portrayal of Chennai in 1940s was a disappointment....anyways Madharasapattinam is worth a watch

    Nice movie with a mix, yet not losing its originality

    I went to this movie with absolutely no expectations, Arya isn't that big an actor,The director hasn't made any exceptional movies, and so on.

    But the movie was really good.It showed a great deal of teamwork and effort, and more importantly it was all well used and portrayed.

    Chennai portrayed to the best as in the year 1947. The heroine - Amy Jackson is beautiful and has done a really wonderful job.Her eyes show lots of experience, for a girl of her age.

    The story line is similar to that of Lagaan, and many scenes remind you of both lagaan and Rang de basanti, yet the movie has its own originality and inspiration.

    Arya isn't portrayed as a hero who fights for freedom,he is portrayed as one who fights for Love.

    Editing was awesome, Direction was good. The only negative point of the movie is the songs and BGM. songs don't get in sync with the movie too well. BGM isn't much original and doesn't give the full effect at various scenes.

    Still overall the movie is watchable. The reason i rated it 8 was because of the good acting, direction,screenplay,no unwanted comedy or action or songs, and mainly because there was some originality/reality in showing a historic adventure.( something that Ayirathil oruvan lacked ).

    The movie may seem a bit lengthy, but don't worry cause it wont bore you out.

    Overall - Good movie( don't miss it)

    Have to give it for the art direction

    Well shot period piece with good acting and wonderful set pieces, worth a watch.
