Hey Nooravda Naal, the Tam version of 100 days was really fucking good. They totally wimped out on the hindi version. + I think the connections between these films and the one reviewed seem a bit tenuous to me.

I vaguely remember nooravadu naal. Sathyaraaj played this super badass in that one. One of my earliest memories of (tamil) films along with Vikram and some others from the same period.

yeah the Tamil version was excellent. The hindi movie just fucked it up.

Yeah Sathyaraj played this bald evull mofo called Jagannathan. He singes his wife with cigarettes. After that my cousin whoawas around 11 at the time got paranoid about bald people.

We should do a list of recommended Tamil movies

Yeah it must be done soon. We can all make a list off the top of our heads but I'd ideally like to revisit most of the films that I consider good, from memory. I mean some I'm sure of but movies like, Fazil's Poovizhi Vaasalile, Bharatiraja's Tik Tik Tik, Oru Kaidhiyin Diary and Mudhal Mariyadhai were among favourites when I was a kid but I don't know how they'd live up right now. What about Pattanathil Bootham or Kadhalikka Neramillai? I saw those a thousand times but I'm almost sure they're not genuinely good movies. Just a case of underdeveloped brains and taste as a child I think.
