as much as you would want to advertise that you have watched movies along with thalaivar, it is a very well known fact that ARR is pretty bad in choosing script. We all know ARR in and out. Now, just because ARR had chosen to do SDM doesn't make it's script one in a million. I think it is a beaten-to-death run-off-the-mill script. Love makes you blind you see.
Frankly, I can tell you, I believe ARR didnot do SDM because he was memerised by the script but because it provided new avenues and challenges to channel his creative blood and energy. --- In [email protected], Matthew Islam <matthewis...@...> wrote: > > I beg to differ on the ordinary bit.
