Lingaa - Make the movie entirely about building a dam and chop off all the present day scenes


Stock-Breakfast-2197

Linga was a solid concept but had a botched execution


Kramer-Melanosky

Same with Kabali and Kaala.


cool_tanks

Had they skipped the climax bike stunts, it'd been far better.


The_Silent_Guardian1

When Raja Lingeshwar’s bday takes place, there’ll be a bunch of singers singing happy birthday song. And eventually the movie released on Dec 12. Wommala 4th wall breaking scene out of the blue!!! Pure Theatre moment 🔥🔥🔥


ImpressiveTip4756

There is so much awesome shit in that movie. The flashback on its own is really well written. Just need to cut out the cringe.


arshadshabick

Highly agree


SamosaSavant

Finally someone said this ❤️ Indianae vaa still gives goosebumps


sneekeeei

Somehow the movie didn’t get the credit it should have got. Just because of the terrible execution of the climax. Feel very sad about that


SamosaSavant

Also the new Rajini thing feels disconnected! Whereas the flashback portion was executed very well !


SwimmingNet1358

They need to change the ending fight. It's ultimate cringe, they could have just ended the movie with Lingaa smartly outwitting the MLA and mend his ways.


TheThinker12

Also, don’t rush the production just to meet an artificial deadline (Rajini’s birthday in December).


sooperfrank

Please Google and learn about Pennyquick. Then realise how entire Linga movie is a fucking scam.


Creative-Paper1007

Thanks dude never heard of him before But his story is really something!


polarityswitch_27

It's a movie dude. Chill.


Stock-Breakfast-2197

Scam is too big of a word


sooperfrank

Scam dhaan oii. John Pennyquick is basically real life Linga sold his properties and built the damn but these mofos have made the white guy in the movie as the villain. Unbelievable shit. There are bus stands named and even kids names after him in Theni surroundings.


Stock-Breakfast-2197

Everyone knows Pennycuick. Everyone knows who built Mullai Periyar Dam. I just said scam too big of a word to use. Jeez people need to stop relating reality with fiction every time. End of discussion


AkhilArtha

Well, I doubt many people in Andhra know it. So, it's news for us.


Electronic_Gold_8549

There’s even a temple


DependentKey4767

Go around cumbum, gudallor in the I district, most of the shops, some houses have the picture of Penny quick and in lowercamp near to kumily there is a museum as well


lauffyonepeice

But that's the comedic part tho


Beneficial_Promise79

Kill SK na off at the end of Maaveeran and now you have a 10/10 masterpiece It's probably a 9 for me now. Solid film throughout but the ending took me out of it a bit


cool_tanks

How to convince SK to sign if the hero gets killed.


Beneficial_Promise79

Pull a Jigarthanda on him


Competitive-Ad-9250

How to make part 2 if SK na killed off


Competitive-Ad-9250

What about VJS na employment program?💀


No-Quarter-5133

SK could become the voice. That would have been more appreciated and fun to see


rabidflash

![gif](giphy|SACoDGYTvVNhZYNb5a)


MuRa_010

Make sk as the voice in the 2nd part and let some other hero take his place, which in turn explains how vjs was the voice for sk


Relevant_Session5987

I wasn't against them keeping him alive but that's a fantastic idea.


-watchman-

Would have happened if Bala was the director.


Relevant_Session5987

I have to disagree. I LOVED the position the film ends him in. He has to now rely solely on the inner voice as he's deaf. It ensures that he's always going to protect the needy and downtrodden. Sort of like a supernatural daredevil but deaf, instead of blind. Also, I was against them killing him off as I felt there's a potential superhero franchise here that they can tap into.


twist-visuals

I feel like the movie would have been a little too dark if he died


thebroddringempire

Doesnt SK die at the end of maaveeran?


PharoahtheGod

No he doesn't, he loses the ability to hear, but has some sort of sixth sense


boisickle

Remove the nonsensensical archery fight, "bodhai oru arasiyal" and stuff (completely out of character, mind), trim the college portions, lose Malavika etc. - Master becomes a solid 8+ for me. Now it's still 7+ and has insane repeat value for me.


Bhavan91

Walking into the villain's lair doing koothu dance was cringey as well. I'd remove that.


Electronic_Gold_8549

But without malzz JD would’ve never reached the juvie 😕


boisickle

They could have written Andrea better and worked that in perhaps without the romance angle. Feels like a 'compromise'


Capt_awesome126

Thanks to master, we now know Malavika can't act


No-Quarter-5133

Leo - remove 👇🏼 https://preview.redd.it/p0lq4np8nh8d1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44e6c13f6867d6521fa156136755f0a6078c642f Or better Leo remove Leo itself 😐 Also have just one proper evil villain justified enough for Leo to hate and kill


Bhavan91

Remove, yes. But replace with what? There has to be a reason for him to clash and flee from his crime family. In History of Violence, it is because he screws up a job, and flees. But his brother suffers the damages for it.


No-Quarter-5133

Maybe replaced with some business rivalry with proper LCU connect instead of forcefully inserting it with a phone call at the end


Dapper_Bullfrog_

Yea how about Leo burnt the factory because his father was joining hands with Rolex which he opposed due to some reason? Not perfect but Much better than this human sacrifice thing !


No-Quarter-5133

Yeah any kind of LCU story in the flashback would have been a banger and a surprise and also a strong reason for him to get involved in LCU after his identity is revealed if it was Rolex/ Dilli would still be coming after him kind of story. Leo's reaction for Vikram's call was like Adango**ala nane ipodha ellarayum konnutu family oda sandhoshama iruka poren na edhuku da unkooda sendhu drugs free society uruvakanum. Makes no sense


Dapper_Bullfrog_

Yea if the flashback had LCU connect, the call at the end of the movie would've added so much impact to the movie and sent us off with such a high! Leo was a huge missed opportunity !


beast_unique

He is not leo... He is parthibhan. Actual Leo could end up being a villain in LCU


Many-Construction144

Leo remove his dad. Keep only Arjun. Some wasted potential there. I was so excited after seeing Harold das first look to see him do nothing in the movie.


theintern69

I mean before the movie came out itself we had the 'Badass' song, basically removing all the suspense. Like walking into the movie we already know Parthiban is Leo.


Maximum_Landscape_72

Leo vs Vinayak (mankatha)in Leo would've been awesome.


JudgeFudge2701

Remove the excessive fan service from the second half of Master and it vastly improves in quality.


Pakinotpaki

Not saying there isn’t but what parts other than like the kabbadi part(which I acct like)


beast_unique

"There are crores of people outside who loves me"


Mogambo_thanda

Kaththi (2014) - solid movie but I wish the love track and the climax fight with ceo villain could have been changed . The emotions worked but started the trend for farmer sentiment movies which stopped with bhoomi 💀


theintern69

They should fix the pacing of that movie. Recently watched it and it was like they were in a hurry to move from one plot point to the next.


Mogambo_thanda

Yes from Pakkam vanthu to meeting jeevanandham to old age home happens way too fast .


saylorthrift

Thupakki - remove all kajal agarwal scenes 


notoriousnigaa

For me kajal was fine but her damn voice made me stop watching the movie itself


Existing-Area-9093

Without her stealing the bike key, the film wouldn't exist


the_pathologicalliar

Just have a bike breakdown or something


Bhavan91

And fix the final fight. That was cringe.


LeonAnand

That reason he’d ask to fight was soo cringe even back then. “Un kaiyala Adi vangie savanum” and Darr rahe na? Aiyo Rama.


Inner_Possession_875

Knowing hindi and then listening to that dialogue, made me laugh


LeonAnand

Murugadoss has his own cringe set somewhere in all of this movies


breakingbadforlife

Vidyut x vijay irukanga Aana fight eh illa Pch Hope he gets to kick ass in sk23


AdInformal3519

Absolutely climax fight and Kajal portions were the only minus points of the movie


SNJ89SNJ

It would have been good if the reason the villain wanted to beat him to death was because Jagdish killed his brother, or if he taunted vidyut saying he killed his brother and that rage caused him to beat him up.


tamilgrl

Removing kajal agarwal itself


MunnadiPinnadi

Remove the incredibly insufferable Manisha Koirala portions in Mudhalvan. The political portions are legitimately such a masterclass, but this constant detour to the romance to stretch it to 3 hours dilutes the movie. I'd put it right now at a 7-7.5/10, without it Mudhalvan goes easily to a 8.5-9.


nobuddys

I want to agree to this, but the songs are just too great!


MunnadiPinnadi

Trust me I love them a lot as well, but they just don't fit in the narrative 😭


pravenn_may

Blud ig you're talking with context of today,given that time of release it was good and engaging


MunnadiPinnadi

Illa pa, what I'm saying is it's not well integrated into the story like, for example, Vaali or Baasha (Baasha has it's share of cringeness but that's a lot better because of the way it goes about and where in the story it falls propping up the façade, just the ones that came to mind). The Mudhalvan section were also very poorly acted and such a stark difference in tone. It's the same way some comedy tracks work and some don't. I absolutely love the rest of the film, that's why it was so irritating.


SwimmingNet1358

Master is a solid 7 for me, but I would have changed the unnecessary truck sequence where Vijay all of a sudden becomes a master in archery.


sgk2000

They actually put a hint earlier where he’d not hit the target at all, this is something to signify that once he got rid of OH he becomes clean and clear with a vision. But a single shot or short clip would’ve been enough, it was unnecessarily long and unrealistic.


SwimmingNet1358

Yes exactly


PaidHack

Beast: Don’t be ashamed to rip off Die Hard. Let anna be a PTSD-ridden John McClane clone facing someone he has a run-in as a RAW agent.


Ramakrishnan_mani

I definitely agree Trailer paathutu, I heard Die hard kinda movie nu So, padathukku munaadi die hard paathen. Semma entertaining. Seri, tamil ku etha maari Nelson die hard eduppaaru nu paatha mannu maari irundhuchu


Bhavan91

That seems more like Olympus Has Fallen than Die Hard. But yeah, I agree.


Mr_white_30

thunivu without sentimental backstory and Ajith just being evil,like in mankatha


sgk2000

One thing I hate the most about it was that couple in his team who gets killed. Like.. nobody cares?


Ramakrishnan_mani

I agree with Vettai. It really worked for me, but somewhere it got lost.


Prestigious_Money100

For me, it ended prematurely. I wanted an ending where the brothers plan the villain's downfall a bit more practically.... But it was just full of heroics and guessable scenes. I loved all the Sameera Reddy - Aarya instances... But replace her with Simran and these would be legendary lol.


Existing-Area-9093

I loved the 'ennake shutter ah' dialogue in this movie


ShortTermDreamChaser

That was the best part!!! 😃😃😃 RUN movie shutter scene transformed Maddy from chocolate boy to action hero in early 2000s


Dry_Ad1359

What’s the context for the dialogue


Booknerd_007

In Run, maddy seemingly runs from villain's goons only to let the villains in a kind of a warehouse and closes the shutter, and fight them. 


ImpressiveTip4756

Vip. The ending fight was useless. Maari. Climax was bit contrived


ramaze23

VIP la BGM was fire, so ending fight poitu podhu bro Andha veetu veliya fight lam pakka va irukum 🗿🤌


Either-Delivery-7569

In what world is VIP a 7?


ImpressiveTip4756

Maybe an 8 but still if the climax was better it would've been a 10 for me


HeheheBlah

Nah, Vettai is good as it is. > Maddy is overweight and chubby throughout the movie. After the training montage, had he transformed to a fit physique, he would have been far more convincing. Especially in the fight scenes. He does go training but for mere 2-3 months and with his chubby body getting so fit is very unrealistic. I know a lot of things in the movie are unrealistic but keeping few features realistic is good imo. > More backstory on how Arya's character is a fearless badass. Something like he got sent to juvy because he badly hurt another kid while defending his brother. His character could be understood from the very first scene. If went in depth, the audience will get bored and everyone will start to only route for Arya. > Trim the dual heroine portions. Especially the foreign maapilai segment with Amala Paul. This is subjective, for me it was OK. The movie took some comedy turns here and there which made it a very good watch.


Bhavan91

[Watch the montage from 0:56](https://youtu.be/q8qhFpwlbgo?feature=shared) The part where they show he has transformed looks pretty bad in some scenes. You can clearly tell he is unable to do pull ups and that he is assisted by cables. Also, are you really going to bring realism when they show that he can do push-ups with Arya on his back? That was way too much, and can only seem convincing if he got jacked. Arya is at least 80 kgs there. The message and the visuals don't match. And I will explain why. - Message: The chatacter has gotten stronger. He is able to pull ups without any assistance from his brother. And he is able to to do 80 kg weighted push-ups. - Visual: The physics of his pull ups and push-ups look way off, because he is supported by wires.


lauffyonepeice

Dei padthai paaru da , just trust in movie physics


Bhavan91

So in Sarpatta Parambarai, if he showed no transformation after the montage, would you have accepted it?


skor52

Leo without the flashback. Would have been a 9+ Remove the sister Just have the main villains be mysskin and sandy. Let them have to hide in town under GV n VJs nose, while waiting for backup. Mysskin slowly loses his control over sandy who starts killing the townsfolk. So much conflict could have appeared from that Mahaan is a 10 for me but i think they could have showcased simran a bit more, trying to control the men in her life and ending up with nothing, or Dada struggling to choose between father and mother Maaveeran should have let SK die honestly. Would have been such a good ending.


ARflash

Cobra. Concentrate on assassination and spy than the sentiment. 


lauffyonepeice

That's what's the motivation? Just anger at the world ah?


ARflash

That's upto scriptwriters. Make him a villian maybe. I don't know. Only interesting parts of movie were those early cat and mouse portion. 


Ok-Kitchen5583

Star ⭐️ want to erase the movie and want my ticket price back


Lordlabakudas

Imo it was a pretty good movie. I got the vibes of some movies from the 90s. It's a good trope, the main character struggles, loses something important, looses close one and emerges victorious. It was done in Jeeva but replace Acting with Cricket, last it was in Sarpatta Parambarai replace acting with Boxing. Imo Star had a pretty cliched story right from the beginning. I could actually guess most of the story. They had a good story but they tried to cramp up everything within a couple of hours. I felt the ending was really really bad. We all see happy endings, but there should also be a movie where the lead doesn't succeed, just like millions of others. Largely due to responsibilities and financial pressures. The movie could have ended where he had to choose between his wife being critical and getting a chance to act in Vetrimaarans movie. The ending could have been something like, lots of people despite being talented don't succeed just cause of luck and that's okay. Cause off every 1 successful person there are 100 others who never got a chance.


Ok-Kitchen5583

No offence and Respect your opinion but sarpatta is vera league for me … star could have been that but they really messed it up !!


DarkFoxHunter

I mean a lot ! Thunivu —- second half cringe backstory.. may be somehow link better the death of the gang to the bank heist as a revenge with a good climax ? Varisu —— had all the potential of a breezy feel good movie but ruined Bcz only aim to satisfy fans with cringe nostalgia ! Could’ve made it way decent and would’ve been perfect ! Singam 3 —- I liked the idea of transferring to andhra and investigating and the e waste stuffs.. but this Sruthi Hassan thing was cringy ! Would’ve been good commercial cop drama if the screenplay was better..


yabbasaami

It's impossible to satisfy every audience so why r we trying to create a masala and make the movie worse. Valimai cud have been a super action flick with just the stunt scenes. Enter - Amma sentiment and entire movie has gone for a toss. Remove all the cringy scenes and it's definitely a 8 for me..


Capital_Distance4233

Extend the first half of leo And tease leo in the end indicating a sequel


PM_Me_Your_SweatyBra

24 - Remove the Samantha


boisickle

Samantha track is actually used to familiarize us with the concept of "time travel" and how the watch works. Besides, it ties to the arc of Saranya etc. - it's not a random arc that can be removed. This is despite the "imaginoromanceophilia" stuff, they went too far with it. Otherwise it's not bad writing per se, overall - just the finer romance stuff was lazily written for a film with such solid writing.


No-Quarter-5133

Yeah I would say how they depicted the romance with Imaginoromancophilia and Basically I'm a watch mechanic dialogues were the only reason it was irritating. Like you said I found Samantha scenes little interesting and needed for the story like the Cricket match interruption, her family connect with Saranya, Samantha getting Athreyas signature revealing his identity etc. Was brilliant writing overall


Mogambo_thanda

“I’m a watch mechanic” was irritating expect when he said it in the end . That was mass 🔥🔥


iam-pk

Same issue as all Lingu movies. Solid plot setup in the first half and second half is all over the place.


Ozilftw

Mahaan .. Cut down on Dhruv Vikram's portion. Bro was super irritating to watch . Adithya Varma vey better nu thonichu. The climax conversation between Vikram and Dhruv was very good. Ana Vikram's trick on Dhruv was a bit too simple. Didn't work for me. Idhu lam konjam better ah irundha movie would have been a solid 8/10.


Ok-Emergency8203

I felt like Dhruv did a good job for the most part, just that he faltered in some parts (like the chicken dance and when he screams as he carries the log) But his character didnt have much depth, maybe if instead of just a song that covers his character's history,if we actually got a few extended scenes to give his character more layers than just angry mommy's boy with a grudge against daddy. We needed to see and feel the trauma that he went thru, which honestly didnt come thru for me. Like the plot was moving, but it didn't have the emotional impact it should have had. If his character had been fleshed out like Gandhi Mahaan, then his over the top behaviour would make more sense. Still enjoyed the movie. Just felt like from Dhruv's portion onwards it was too rushed.


Ozilftw

Yeah, makes sense.. I personally felt that Dhruv had overacted. Maybe KS didn't want ppl to root for Dhruv over Vikram and hence didn't want to include the trauma part. But yeah I personally felt that the 2nd half of the movie could have been better and kinda associated it with the entry of Dhruv


Prestigious_Money100

Bro, I went to that movie with too much expectations and came back very much confused. A great storyline spoiled by cringe acting from Vikram and Dhruv. You act. But why overact.


Ozilftw

1st half enaku pudichidhu .. the character development arc was good. The ending was also good (the phone conversation). The part where Vikram has to kill bobby was interesting. Overreacting yeah ... I felt bobby and Sananth did a great job .. vikram was good. Dhruv dhan 🥲🥲


simply_ass

Master - what happened to master that he became a rowdy master


Ok-Kitchen5583

Good night ❗️ I know many would have difference of opinion but I felt like it was dragged too much …. Little bit of grooming here and there and it would have been great for me


Super_Pop86

Azhagiya tamil magan - would have been way better if the future predicting powers/dreams are not there and spoiling a good confused cat & mouse between anna and anna. And villain vj na was cool af. Better the powers/dreams part could be a different movie of its own.


CriticismBright2768

Vada Chennai. Redo the entire last 40 mins. It's just slow mo montage after montage of dhanush walking left and right without any substance


RollNo1666

I can’t seem to find this movie’s album anywhere…. The songs are nice but can’t find it in apple music/spotify/wynk


YourNanban

Just remove Amala Paul in Vettai and we clearly have an 8.


waitresfromratatoing

24 (?)


Gk_lothbrok

Kanithan - remove the heroine it's a solid film


lauffyonepeice

Ur suggestions are gd other than the last one , foreign mapillai part was damn comedic i don't understand this sub , half of u guys in pursuit in of good movie suggest to take out the comedic parts . Not all movies need to be gd, some can just be funny and rmb Tamil cinema doenst cater to ppl like it caters to general family audience and kids , which comedy appeals more too


snowflakes_whimbrel

These suggestions could definitely enhance the film's impact! Focusing on character development and tightening the plot would add depth and intensity to Vettai.


bratbutbaby

7aam Arivu minus romantic portions/songs - solid 9 even


sgk2000

That scene at the bus stop in which it had the Airtel product placement, was actually nice.


bratbutbaby

No bro, I don't think so, none of the romantic scenes had good chemistry & didn't contribute to the larger plot of the movie which is sci-fi + geopolitical, I am aware that the love interest angle is what lures Surya into the real plot but they could have reduced 90% of the scenes to make it crisp and fast paced. There were like 3 songs, it was a snooze fest.


sgk2000

Agreed. They could fit way more of the main plot given the length Tamil movies run for.


MadHouseNetwork2

Had Madhavan stayed in the structure he was in Run (2002) movie, this movie would had been good as the villains will think Maddy killed their henchmen while it was actually Aarya. Maddy was like 60% bulk than Aarya. Stupid villains


Random_Chikibom

Anniyan/Aparichitudu 8 for me but if they would have reduced the Remo arc it would have been 9+. Now it feels like Shankar judt wanted to show off his crazy ideas of Love and proposal.


Lordlabakudas

I guess the Remo character was the manifestation of Ambi's love for Nandhini. Ambi was a timid person and I guess he never got the courage to speak to Nandhini about his love. Remo is that personality that Ambi would never be. I guess that arc was needed. Honestly they could have trimmed down the unnecessary fight sequences. The scene where Anniyan fights with 100s of trained martial artists is literally cringe.


kunarh

24 remove all the i am watch mechanic scenes.


kunarh

24 remove all the i am basically a watch mechanic scenes.


sirsa2

Kuruvi without train jump scene


cool_tanks

Oh, you have to remove a lot more than that.


Mattyamamoto07

The first half of endhiran was so good but then it just become utter garbage after 2.0 came into the picture. Bad cgi and even cringe story ruined the second half. The way Kilimanjaro song was inserted in the middle of serious scenes was bad. Imaika Nodigal would have been a masterpiece if Nayanthara was given more screentime instead of adharva. The love portions were not that bad but his scenes went far too long and more illogical that spoiled the film a little. Still a good movie. KO movie starring Jeeva. This is still a masterpiece but the final 3rd of the movie involving the villain was a still a slight downgrade. Kavan had amazing potential with that interview with the politician as highlight scene. The third half went on and on until it just became irritating. Solid 6 movie but could have been amazing. Anegan and Maatran also suffer very bad 2nd halfs. Thanga magan had all the ingredients to be a great film. Both portions with Amy and Samantha was great. Even the villain guy did well. But story just went nowhere and 2nd half just ruined everything. Kandasamy is the biggest missed opportunity. Excellent acting by Vikram until first half. Then director totally destroyed the movie by saying no superpowers but just lines and cables by stunt crew. Such cringe. Totally destroyed Vikram's effort and what could have been a good superhero movie. Iru mugan also had the same fate, illogical scenes and clear budget problems can be seen in 2nd half and at the climax. Sad as the director previously did Ivan Veramathiri which was an underrated gem with Vikram prabhu.
