exhibition on PS
Hi Venkat, as far as I know only if there is any revenue invovled copyright violation is involved. But I may be wrong, any knowledgable person can clarify. Thee are versions of PS with Vinu and other artists, perhaps Kalki office can clarify if th…

ponniyin selvan- first reaction after reading...
Venkat, I must read Solaimalai Ilavarasi sometime...I really dont know why Kalki ended PS like that and what was his reasoning behind deliberate move - I can only think he wanted to continue but for some reason could not. I am reminded of Arthur con…

Vairam you raised a good point about AMV as idealist. To me that is really one of the biggest failures with PS. If you study literature they normally talk of 'flat' and 'round' characters (not in shape). 'Flat' Characte…

Actually Venkat to answer that I have to say which order I read Kalki's works. I read Parthiban Kanavu first, that was in 7th grade. I was just thrilled and could not get story out of my head for days. I had my mom and grandmother to talk about…

identity crisis and kerala
Kerala has HUGE pluses - kerala is the cleanest state in all of india, even the poorest of the poor keralite will never use the street for a toilet - almost all of them brush their teeth and maintain personal hygeine. Keralites are very sensible wi…

identity crisis and kerala
Hi Gandhi, I disagree with the statement that 'for the average keralite the tamil is inferior...' - actually in my family we are half keralite - my grand parents were born and raised in kerala and our ancestral home is still there. Kerala…

PS Drive ..is it possible?
I believe the concept of story telling which in many ways was introduced to the world by our culture is sadly dying out, while we are focusing on the media to take its place - there is nothing that can substitute an active story teller especially in…

Is Chandilyan a 'stalwart'? Dont' mean to annoy his fans here but most of his works long works especially are exceptionally boring, Kadal Pura a record in writing a long boring novel. Dont' get me wrong even Tolstoy has been dubb…

I agree Rahul. Harry Potter was a fantasy, fantasy stories let imagination have free reign and kids love that - of any age. I remember in our time the only 'fantasy' was the stories of fairies and goblins written by Enid Blyton - even that…

PS Drive ..is it possible?
Vairam, yes actually I tried this last year with my niece and her cousins. We started with 12 kids (all 8-9 years) and ended up with 2. I have had 3 story telling sessions in years ago (10 years ago) with bigger groups of kids and there has never be…

Yes Ayn Rand was a philosopher writer who was very famous in her days and got a little controversial later. The 'selfishness' she advocates is one of responsiblity, not materialism and lot of her critics do not clearly understand that. In …

Ponniyin Selvan Movie Trailer
Hi Vanchee, there are lots of people here who have copies of old book bindings. I am like you too - I really dislike the printed material of today with no pictures and condensed to save money. I used to very much like Chandra/Sri Maniam's drawi…

I firmly believe PS original story is not for kids, by that not that it is crude or anything but just a story for older people. Think of these situations - Nandini has a fake marriage with PPazhuvettarayar, Ooomai Raani gives birth to kids outside m…

Venkat, I certainly agree with Rahul and your observation that we should not be throwing too much criticism at a maiden attempt at such a big venture. It is a laudable attempt. I would just like to say one thing as someone else pointed out - and th…

Dear Sir, it was a great animated clip!! Some suggestions - please use different faces (esp male) - looks like all are similar. Also some background voice giving a brief introduction would help understand/introduce the story better I felt. The scen…

complexion of the heroines
There is very little chance anyone who lives an outdoor life close to the ocean with rustic lifestyle has fair complexion even if they are born with it. I don't think Kalki had anything different in mind he just might have missed saying so expl…

I completely agree. Let me clarify I don't think the line of debate by the said researcher was very mature and both VV and RV responded very maturely to it. Mixing social issues with research facts and going down different lines of thinking is …

Actually Central was the only theatre that would screen english movies in kovai and the only A/C 70 mm theatre also. TNAU - lots of movies were made there in 50s and 60s. Maragatham, Pavamannippu two i can remember easily. I don't know about B…
