The next Jeeva film seems to be Unnale Unnale, retitled from the previous July Kaatril. No idea what has happened to "the untitled Jeeva movie that will be starring Arya" which I had said I was looking forward to when I blogged at the end of 2005. It had good parts, but the flash back on which the plot pivots is terribly weak, as is Bhoomika Chawla's character, so the movie and its conclusion fail to satisfy. Sillunu Oru Kadhal was a dissappointment. Some of the films that I was looking forward to at the end of last year have turned out well, Vettaiyadu and Pattiyal making the top of my list. Not sure when the confidence is going to start turning into celluloid. Director Bala has now expressed confidence that Arya is the new lead. He dropped out of the Naan Kadavul project for which he had originally slimmed down, seeing that it seems to be taking years to even start the movie. Ajith's meteoric rise after years of commercial failures came with Paramasivan and Thirupathi, two thoroughly bad movies that had masala, decent songs, and a newly slimmed down Ajith. Vijay went down and stayed down with no subsequent releases with his first flop in years, Athi. The year started with the Ajith - Vijay balance shifting the other way. It was an interesting year in the cinema industry. Here's my list of top movies of the year. Some surprises, and some disappointments. This was a mixed year for Tamil cinema, I think.
