"Michael, I am very much proud of you "
No matter how great a movie is in terms of Visual effects,locales,a movie is made worthy of rememberance majorly due dialogues,especially dialogues which are confrontational in terms of principles, motives.

The Scene in Aayutha Ezhuthu is one of my favorites , it has got the little 3 part acts in it.
1. Minister's jocular attitude towards Michael,
2. The shift towards seriousness
3. The rvalry begins
The setup
Michael has just beat up a goon of Minister,Watch out the subtle look Michael airs against the injured goon.
Minister [BharathiRaja] starts with a casual,condescending attitude towards Michael,
'Paiyan Per Enna sonnenga' - subterfuge the fact he knows and responsible for disrupting the election campaign.
The tone minister carries complete contempt and 'high above Michael' at the Start.By offering ticket expenses the Minister still displays complete ignorance of Michael's ambitions which to Michael, the Minister is clearly aware of.The more and more Minister adopts the casual tone,Michael is upset and displays it with even more subtlety with smirks and sarcasm [Anna!!!] which brings to the Act two courtesy of the light simmering drum beats and piano notes .
The middle part
This scene is about the introduction of the minister's serious tone , I love the way how the Minister casually drifts the two to a more secluded area so that his serious undertones are not heard by many.It is also crucial in making Michael to come top of from the dialogues indicating his seriousness in his objectives and also displaying his awareness of the level of wickedness the minister is capable of ["Neenga irukeengale enakku oru Annan"].
The End.
Battlelines and boundaries are drawn with Michael's vindictive condescending replies and the Minister realises he has a much more serious folly
