Vazhakku Enn 18/9 - File Should not be Closed


Before
reading this article, you must know my emotion. Every Cinema lover
who believe in good script and innovative idea to lead the movie will
have same kind of emotion.The Legendary Hit Movie Vazhakku Enn 18/9 (Case No: 18/9) is itself a
special case in Tamil film Industry, Screenplay alone played a vital role in
the movie, but it was not well appreciated by kollywood
audience.Usually, a movie will be ignored by audience due to the lack of
publicity and good review by Medias, but Vazhakku Enn 18/9 well appreciated by medias
like The Times of India, they gave it 4.5 out of 5, the
highest rating ever for a Tamil film. Even website portals like rediff, sify,
in.com, Indiaglitz etc., also appreciated with excellent comments. Ananda
Vikatan hailed the film as "Pride of Tamil Cinema" and rated it
a whopping 55 on 100. Many actors, Directors were also made very positive
comments. Well know journalist Sreedhar Pillai had tweeted that "Vazhakku
Enn 18/9- 4/5- Very, Very Good. Gutsy & Outstanding film. Balaji Sakthivel
extracted spellbinding performances from all newcomers." and specially mentioned" Balaji
sir I need ur autograph& 2 take a pic with U. U have done Tamil cinema
proud."
This
movie started its Pre-Production work during 2008 and it was commenced in 2010.
The Script work alone took about 15 Months, said Director Balaji Shakthivel in
a press meet conducted after success of the movie. The movie was
completely Shot by Cinematographer Vijay Milton using a Canon EOS 5D SLR
camera.
Even
though, the film which got the maximum critical appreciation this year, it
was mostly appreciated by film journalist, Press & Media and many
directors., I Personally have communicated with lots of youngsters
about the movie Vazhakku Enn 18/9, only 45% were thumbs up ! why is it so
? 60% of the audience goes to cinemas hall with the previous investigation of
the movie. Nowadays, most will send the review in two line while watching
the movie., via SMS and social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The saddest
part is most youths are not ready to support such movies, since they need a
fights, separate comedy track, Ghana Songs, item Songs etc., Movies with
such elements like Subramaniapuram, Naadodigal, Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Anjathey
etc., were well appreciated. But lack of such element in Vazhakku Enn 18/9
should not be the reason for not appreciation. Recently, Director Myshkin
delivered a angry speech against such audience for not supporting Genuine
movie like Vazhakku Enn 18/9
So,
Youths must love and support such movies to encourage such talented
directors like Balaji
Shakthivel.
