The real winners of the Pongal Release...

I have watched all the pongal releases, Paramasivan being the last one. I don't want to give commentaries on both Paramasivan and Saravana. But who and what I remember from this year's Pongal releases are..."Drum Roll"...
The image “http://www.musicindiaonline.com/z/nimgs/tamil/964/1.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
1) Prakash Raj - Appeared in all the 3 Pongal release movies, out of which in 2 he was a police office.. and stole the whole show most of the times. I can safely say that the protagonist in Paramasivan is actually Prakash Raj, rather than Ajith. Always there to bring out the charachter in the story.

2) Vivek - Althought the comedian for all 3 movies, his role in the 3 movies were pretty minimal, and he was totally under-used. Could have been given more scope for his role, but his jokes were nevertheless funny. A student in Aadhi, Simbu's friend in Saravana, and a police officer cum CBI assistant in Paramasivan.
The image “http://www.cellphones.exciting-deals.com/images/camera%20phone-1.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
3) Camera Phones - All three movies had a use for camera phones. In Aadhi, a student uses the phone to capture girls, a rowdy uses it in Saravana, and the camera phone appears for a short while in Paramasivan when Prakash Raj uses it to still the face of the terrorist photo. It is to note that the resolution of the phones used in Aadhi and Paramasivan even beats my Konica-minolta. Wow!

You are right. Vivek is always funny while PrakashRaj has his own trade mark of acting.
Nowadays these phones are coming with so many gagdgets that the phone you buy is outdated within a month

hehehe..good observations!...Im sure Prakash Raj and Vivek would have acted much better than the other two pathetic heroes acting in those movies!

Good (&& gr8) observations .

BTW my friends told me even watching one of these three films is the most painful event in their life. I really wondered how u r able to watch all the three movies

i couldn check out any of the pongal releases but prakash raj is a phenomenon ... a big range like his(i mean the characters he's played) is something very few actors have. and vivek rocks (i know that sounds cliched but thats just the one, u know, a state of mind ;)). cam mobiles? lol.

both are my favorite actors. Even if vivek appears in couple of scenes, he steals the entire movie (like in Saravan, in which he imitates 'Thotti' Jeya, Anniyan) Great Picks! Thx
