[...] Tamil (Kuselan) starring Rajnikanth and in Hindi (Billo Barber) starring Shah Rukh Khan. While most Malayalam reviews were favorable, Ratheesh thinks this is not Srinivasan’s best work. I think his classic [...]

this is not sreeni’s best. the first half seemed sort of documentary. the fill-ins in between the meeting of the barber and the actor could have been bettered by adding more twists and introducing new characters. in fact sreeni tested the patience of the audience in the fill ins in between. sreeni has let loose salimkumar making some scenes pure slapstick. barber looking at a wild jack tree to make a chair and mukesh soaping a student for fee is ridiculous. and the get up of meena and her too bright attire-what has happened to sreeni? the tears of mammootty was really unwanted. emotion in the dialogues was the only thing needed in that place. the dialogues of the actors speech coming through the microphone was not audible. this film is nothing in front of his chinthavishtayaya syamala which i consider mighty. to sum up i would say this film lacked more than a tea spoon of ingredients.

The lastest news is that Rajnikanth wants a new heroine, instead of same old Nayanthara… After a full fledged movie and an item song with her, he now wants a younger heroine who is more a chick than 9thara… So I think Bhama frm Nivedhyam can better try… She will have a good chance!!!

matt – small difference here – the debutant director is sreenivasan’s own brother in law. However the director has been sathyan atnthikad’s long time associate as well.

Sreenivasan showcases the power of the script by introducing debutant directors. Its a nice way to enhance budding directors but at the same time it could be risky. I think some of the directorial mistakes could have been avoided.

anyway, I think the same article says that Rajini has given only 10 days callsheet. maybe a short trip to Singapore to dance with Nayanthara????
