Dear Stylegamer, I'm not denying that ARR is a driving force in indian cinema then and still is and yes i remember everything that you are saying. Tough i agree that Aasai was a much better film, i would not say that Vaali was not good. SJ Suryah was in fact an assistant to director Vasanth, so to follow in their mentor's path is normal. Those days are diffrent, we can't expect things to be the same forever... changes happen. If you say tamil cinema is now stuck in a monotonous rut what about hindi cinema. It's nothing but a flesh and skin-fest show thats not only degrading indian cinema but offers no purpose to the story telling process and nothing to the creativity of the films. I'm not saying all films but the good films in hindi is also very less. Not to mentioned the songs which is even worse. The situation is nothing diffrent in hindi or tamil films, it comes to the same thing. This is not about hindi or tamil films or whatever state it is, all i'm saying is that there are good director's who strive for quality and also commercial director's like SJ Suryah who makes entertaining movies, thats all. Each are good in their own way and have their own unique style.
