Great Confrontation Scenes - Part I

0 comments


"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

Aayirathil Oruvan - Fun and Fearsome.

7 comments



A man who is supposed to be the King is not a King , A Man who is supposedly to rule people questions whether he is supposed to rule and live like this.And tears flow from the King's Eyes when he is thinking of whether it's a life worth living and whether there's really a destination for him.

Selvaraghavan defines Aayirathil Oruvan in this scene,Are u game for new emotions or long lost feelings emoted so well by Sivaj Ganeshan in Karnan.?

Aayirathil Oruvan is not only about exploring a uncharted genre but also exploring the thoughts which have never been splashed across the screen in Tamizh Cinema for a long time.

Yes there are quite a few logical loopholes , which are always present in any movie, but the movie takes full score in providing us a exhilarating journey,heard of only in our Childhood or Ambulimaama stories.

Selva scores the maximum brownie points available till the Interval, Post Interval it's upto the Public's interpretation that the film narrows on.

But Hey It follows the Typical Selva Stuff , Expect the unexpected .

Reema and Parthiban make u cringe for the fact that these actors have not been used well in the recent times.
Andrea is herself, and Karthi is proving time and again his screen presence is something his brother should be jealous of.

Watch out for the Scene of Karthi when he dodges the Gladiator Style Battle.

Music , Cinematagropghy , Art everyone seems to be in a battle of who is the best?.



Appreciate Aayirathil Oruvan of what it has been Attempted for?
To me it's a successful Dasavathaaram.
