00:00The first film I saw was when I was very young.
00:03Vishwasam. That was the first film I saw in Pongal.
00:06You were very young when you saw Vishwasam?
00:08Yes, I was very young.
00:12It was a huge success.
00:13The most important film was Gounder.
00:15When Gounder was released, a lot of family audiences started watching it.
00:18Those were proper Pongal films.
00:20Festival films.
00:21Yes, festival films.
00:22That's why it was such a big hit.
00:25At that time, they used to give a token to the audience.
00:28Yes, yes.
00:29I wanted to buy it.
00:30I didn't know how to buy it.
00:32I got hurt.
00:34I bought a ticket.
00:36I sat inside and watched the film.
00:38That's when I was at peace.
00:43What is the film that strikes your mind when you think of Pongal?
00:46Personally, I like Kutty.
00:49Kutty because...
00:50They say it's an underrated film.
00:52It's an underrated self-made film.
00:54Mithran Javahar and Dhanushka Kambol.
00:57It's a very feel-good film.
01:03Some people whistle.
01:05How would a person who doesn't know how to whistle scream?
01:07That's what I'm saying.
01:08He's explaining a lot.
01:10I don't know how to say this.
01:12That's when Rajinikanth...
01:17Trisha and Kambol's second film.
01:19It's called Artsky.
01:22I really liked Kambol's film.
01:24Especially Vijay's dialogue.
01:36We're celebrating Pongal in 2025.
01:40Pongal reminds us of a lot of things.
01:44In Tamil Nadu, we don't miss festivals.
01:51Every year, a lot of films are released for Pongal.
01:57A lot of unforgettable films.
01:59A lot of blockbusters.
02:01A lot of successful films.
02:03So, we're going to talk about Pongal and Tamil cinema.
02:08Let's start with our introduction.
02:12You and I have all seen a film in a theatre before.
02:19Which film did you see for the first time in a theatre?
02:25I was very young.
02:27Vishwasam.
02:29That was my first film.
02:31You were very young when you saw Vishwasam.
02:33Yes, I was very young.
02:35I think I was just born then.
02:37Actually, I started watching films later.
02:39I started watching films in theatres in 2016.
02:41Vishwasam was released in 2019.
02:46I went to the Coimbatore Brookfields Mall.
02:48It was a huge scene.
02:50Four guys were sitting there.
02:52It was a lot of fun.
02:54There was a vibe everywhere.
02:56Theatres were all over the place.
02:58Vishwasam was a huge hit.
03:00Vishwasam was expected to be a big hit.
03:02Before that, it was a huge failure.
03:04So, Vishwasam was a huge hit.
03:06Theatres and management were annoyed.
03:08They were like, why are you shouting?
03:10Not just us.
03:12The first four or five rows were a lot of fun.
03:15There was a guy in the middle who complained.
03:17He was like, these kids are shouting too much.
03:19He was a festival student.
03:21He was like, you shouldn't shout like that.
03:23I was like, is that so?
03:25He was like, let's be quiet.
03:27But it was a great film.
03:29I saw Vishwasam for the first time.
03:31What about you?
03:33I saw Rajinamurugan for the first time.
03:35Did you see it when you were a kid?
03:37No, I didn't see it when I was a kid.
03:39I saw it after school.
03:41I knew it was an escape film.
03:44I didn't know which Rajinamurugan to go to.
03:46It was the same combo.
03:48So, I went.
03:50I went to two theatres.
03:52The first one was in Chennai.
03:54I went to Udayam Theatre.
03:56We usually go there with friends.
03:58Tickets were budgeted.
04:00You could have made a small pass.
04:02You said Udayam Theatre.
04:04Now, it's not Udayam Theatre.
04:06It was my favorite theatre.
04:08We all went there.
04:10We celebrated a lot.
04:13S.K. was growing up.
04:15He was growing up.
04:17I was one of his fans.
04:23We celebrated a lot.
04:25The most important thing was the counter.
04:27When the counter was set up,
04:29the family audience started coming.
04:31It was a proper Pongal film.
04:33It was a festival film.
04:35Usually, only the kids would clap.
04:37The families started shouting.
04:39That's what Vijay said.
04:42He caught the kids.
04:44It was amazing.
04:46I can't forget that.
04:48There was a theatre called Phoenix.
04:50I went there.
04:52It was the same film.
04:54Was it in Phoenix Mall?
04:56Yes, in Velachery.
04:58You said it like you didn't know Phoenix.
05:00Tell me if I've seen it.
05:02When I went there,
05:04it was a bit quiet.
05:06There were some elite audience there.
05:08It was a theatre for 60 rupees.
05:11The kids would come there.
05:13I would take my brother there.
05:15My brother would book the tickets.
05:19I liked S.K.
05:21So, I started shouting his name.
05:23Everyone was quiet.
05:25I was the only one shouting.
05:27Usually, we have to shout for big names.
05:29When S.K. was growing up,
05:31I shouted that I liked him.
05:33Two or three people shouted.
05:35But not many shouted.
05:37He was a school boy.
05:40After school, we joined college.
05:44I can't forget that film.
05:46What about you?
05:48For me, it was 2011.
05:50I was a kid then.
05:54You were watching the film before me.
05:56I wasn't there from the beginning.
05:58We didn't have a lot of income then.
06:00My family wouldn't take me.
06:02I didn't go for films.
06:04After I matured,
06:06I started making my own money.
06:09I went to the theater alone for the first time.
06:11They wouldn't invite me.
06:13That's when Kavalan was released.
06:15It was a huge success.
06:17Before that, we were paid by our friends.
06:19We did it ourselves.
06:21The Kavalan film was expected.
06:23Like a career Kavalan?
06:25Yes.
06:27It was expected to be a success.
06:29It was expected to be a success.
06:31Another one was Sithik.
06:33He gave a hit with Vijay.
06:35He said it was a remake.
06:38I was in my first year of high school.
06:40I was doing part-time jobs.
06:42I had to save money for that.
06:48There's a theater in Tirunagar called Devi Kalaivani in Madurai.
06:52There's a theater called Maniyam Bala.
06:54Devi Kalaivani is a Vijay fans' quota.
06:56Maniyam Bala is a Ajith fans' quota.
06:58Ajith films are usually there.
07:00Vijay films are here.
07:02So, Kavalan was released.
07:05At that time, they used to give a token to the fans.
07:07We didn't know that.
07:09We thought we'd buy it.
07:11We got hurt.
07:13We bought a ticket.
07:15I sat inside and watched the film.
07:17It was peaceful.
07:19We saw the film for the money we earned.
07:21The film was good.
07:23We were satisfied.
07:25It was our first Vijay film.
07:28In 2011...
07:30I think Pongal was released in October.
07:36Mangatha was released.
07:38That's when Pongal was released.
07:40That's when Pongal was released.
07:42In 2011, Pongal was released.
07:44Let's go to the next one.
07:48They don't have the money to celebrate Pongal.
07:50They have faith.
07:52That's what you said.
07:54Let's go to the next one.
07:57What's the film that strikes your mind when you think of Pongal?
08:01The first film that strikes my mind is...
08:07I think of Dhanush when I think of Pongal.
08:11I think of Dhanush when I think of Pongal.
08:15If you watch Pongal releases, you'll see a lot.
08:17Kutty, Padikadhavan, Pudhukottai...
08:19Saravanan, Captain Muller...
08:21A lot of good films.
08:23Pongal releases are Dhanush films.
08:26Personally, I like Kutty.
08:32It's an underrated film.
08:34Mithran Javahar and Dhanush...
08:38It's a feel-good film.
08:40It has that flavor.
08:44I enjoyed Kutty a lot.
08:46It's a beautiful film.
08:48It's a comedy.
08:50It's a toxic love.
08:52Let it be.
08:55Don't look at the logic.
08:57Look at the title.
08:59It's a beautiful film.
09:09DSP.
09:11The music is beautiful.
09:15Whether it's the comedy or the story...
09:19I think music is very important.
09:21It's pleasant.
09:24Shreya...
09:28Don't ask me to spoil Kutty's film.
09:30It's a waste if you don't watch it.
09:36There's a scene where Shreya says,
09:38I love you.
09:40Both of them play a role.
09:44Shreya's background music is beautiful.
09:50All the songs in the film are my favorite.
09:54Kutty...
09:56I swear I didn't know it was a Pongal release.
09:58When I searched for it...
10:00I saw Kutty.
10:02It's your best-award Pongal movie.
10:04It's not really a best-award.
10:06It's a Pongal movie I enjoy a lot.
10:08What about you?
10:10For me, it's Veeram.
10:14My brother is a big fan.
10:18Your brother?
10:21I thought you were sitting opposite him.
10:23I thought he was talking about you.
10:25He's my uncle's son.
10:27He's a big fan.
10:29He gave me the ticket on the first day.
10:31I usually don't wake up in the morning.
10:33He asked me if I wanted to come.
10:35I said yes and went with him.
10:37All his fans were here.
10:39They didn't sleep all night.
10:41Some had a light drink.
10:43Some were normal.
10:45They left early in the morning.
10:47I went with them.
10:50They had a celebratory event.
10:52I was shocked.
10:54I didn't know what to do.
10:56If I said something wrong, they'd beat me up.
10:58They'd beat me up.
11:00There were about 10 fans in Andhra Pradesh.
11:02They had a mandir.
11:04I thought they'd let me go.
11:06Which theatre was it?
11:08I don't remember.
11:10It was in Chennai.
11:12I think it was in Kashi.
11:14When I went there, I saw the entry.
11:16B.
11:19They let me go.
11:21I swear.
11:23I didn't know what it was.
11:25When a fan doesn't know how to celebrate...
11:27that's when they shout.
11:29Newcomers don't even know how to shout.
11:31Some people know how to whistle.
11:33If a person who doesn't know how to whistle shouts...
11:35that's how it is.
11:37He's explaining it in a scary way.
11:39I don't know how to say it.
11:41That's when I became Rajinikanth.
11:43My brothers shout.
11:45They don't know I'm a kid.
11:48They shout.
11:50I don't know what they're doing.
11:52That's when I start whistling.
11:54That's when I start shaking.
11:56I'm like, what's going on?
11:58It's amazing.
12:00That's when I understand.
12:02That's the celebration.
12:04That's the aura.
12:06The way I saw it inside the theatre...
12:08with your fans...
12:10I can't forget it.
12:12That's also DSP music, right?
12:14Yes, Veeram DSP.
12:17I'll tell you about two films.
12:19The one I can't forget is Pongal.
12:21Vijay's Thirupatchi.
12:232005.
12:25Pongal.
12:27It's been exactly 20 years.
12:29It was completed with Pongal.
12:31I don't know why.
12:33It was released when I was in 4th or 5th grade.
12:35I used to watch it in the theatre.
12:37I used to watch it on VCD.
12:39I really liked it.
12:41Especially when it was released...
12:44I used to watch it on TV.
12:46I really liked the film.
12:48The second film with Vijay and Trisha Kambo.
12:50We're still calling them best parents.
12:52I really liked their Kambo film.
12:54Especially when Vijay was in it.
12:56There's a dialogue in the climax.
12:58You can only cut a goat for 60 rupees.
13:00But I cut a coconut, a coconut, a banana, a banana...
13:02I cut a cow, I cut a cow, I cut a cow...
13:04I cut a cow, I cut a cow, I cut a cow...
13:06I cut a cow, I cut a cow, I cut a cow...
13:08I cut a cow, I cut a cow...
13:10I cut a cow, I cut a cow...
13:13You said something in the beginning.
13:15Dhanush's film is like Pongal.
13:17Actually, Pongal is Vijay's film.
13:21It started with Friends.
13:23Then Thirupatchi, Vaseegara...
13:25Pokiri, Nanban, Kaavalan...
13:27Waris, Jilla...
13:29Yes.
13:31Pongal is Vijay's film.
13:33He took it to the next level.
13:35Another film I enjoyed in Pongal was Jilla.
13:37Just like Viveram said.
13:40The flashback is going that way.
13:42That's Devi Kalayamani Theatre.
13:44Now it's Friends.
13:46Devi Kalayamani is opposite.
13:48Maniyampala is opposite.
13:50Jilla is here.
13:52We have to go beyond Maniyampala Theatre.
13:56Maniyampala Theatre is in Kuttiyasandhu.
13:58Devi Kalayamani Theatre is on the main road.
14:00Maniyampala is in Kuttiyasandhu.
14:02You can't celebrate in Kuttiyasandhu.
14:04They celebrate on the main road.
14:06We have to go beyond.
14:09We have to shout, Ajith Ulligan, Vijay Valga, Vijay Valga...
14:11We have to go beyond.
14:13That was fun.
14:15They don't fight.
14:17The people who come from there
14:19have to go beyond us.
14:21They come and go.
14:23We have to go beyond.
14:25I can't forget the Jilla vs. Viveram.
14:27They fought for the college.
14:29When they were discussing the college culture...
14:31A boy from the stage spoke.
14:33He said, the principal is angry.
14:35He said, study.
14:38Why are you fighting for the screen?
14:40I went with my friends
14:42and saw the Jilla film.
14:44Vijay's entry would have been chill.
14:46There would have been music in the background.
14:48It would have been very vibrant.
14:53Rumor has it that
14:55Mohanlal didn't get paid for the film.
14:57Is that so?
14:59Some people don't even know about music.
15:01That's when I became famous.
15:03My best hour was
15:05the Jilla film.
15:07Let's move on to the next topic.
15:09Every year, many films are released in Pongal.
15:11From 2000 to 25 years.
15:13Many films are celebrated in Pongal.
15:17I can't forget the film that came this year.
15:19This year's films are of high quality.
15:21What year do you think it is?
15:23In my opinion, it's 2004.
15:25That's your best Pongal.
15:27It's called Engal Anna.
15:29It's a great film.
15:31Vijayakanth, Prabhu Deva, Pandiraj, Vadivelu...
15:33Vadivelu is a great film.
15:35Whether it's a comedy or a story...
15:37it's a beautiful film.
15:39The next one is Koil.
15:41It's a great film.
15:43I think it's Simbu's first film in the village role.
15:47It's a great film.
15:49Whether it's music or not...
15:51it's a great film.
15:53Hari Jayaraj.
15:59Hari and Hari Jayaraj.
16:01It's a great film.
16:03Simbu and Hari Jayaraj.
16:07Saravanan from Pudukottai.
16:09I enjoy that film a lot.
16:11It's a big film.
16:13I don't know how it ran.
16:15It's like an adventure film.
16:17I like travel films.
16:21The second film is the greatest Tamil film ever made.
16:25It's Virmandi.
16:27Virmandi.
16:29It's been 21 years.
16:33Virmandi is the best.
16:35It was re-released last year.
16:37They're decoding the film.
16:39It was re-released last year.
16:41I wanted to sit in the theater and watch it.
16:43So, I did.
16:47I'm seeing this film for the first time during COVID.
16:49It's the first time I'm seeing Virmandi.
16:51I'm seeing this film for the first time.
16:53It's a small inspiration from a Japanese movie.
16:55It's called Roshamon.
16:57It's a movie by Akira Kurosawa.
16:59It's called Roshamon.
17:01It's a small film.
17:03It's a different perspective.
17:05They tell the same story.
17:07They took the film in that format.
17:11I saw Roshamon.
17:13It's a great film.
17:15I could talk about Virmandi all the time.
17:17I could talk about Virmandi all the time.
17:19Whether it's Ilayaraja's music,
17:21Abhinami's acting, Kamal's acting,
17:23Kamal's direction, Pasupathy's acting,
17:25Napoleon's acting...
17:27Each character tells a different story.
17:29Whether it's Pasupathy's story or Kamal's story...
17:37Both are great.
17:41I can't describe certain emotions in words.
17:43I can't describe certain emotions in words.
17:45I can't describe such Jiezudi's vocabulary in words.
17:47I still need to read thousands of books and dictionaries.
17:49I can only explain meanings with words.
17:51I can only explain meanings with words.
17:53They do the dubbing in real life.
18:11Virmandi is the greatest ever Tamil film.
18:13If you release 2004 Pongal including all the great films in Tamil cinema...
18:23...2004 Pongal is the best
18:27What about you?
18:29I can say 2016
18:31There's a film called Kathakali
18:35Rajinmoori
18:37Gethu
18:39Tharaithapadi
18:41I saw 2-3 extra films in Tharaithapadi
18:45Like Rajinmoori initially said...
18:47I saw Kathakali
18:49Pandiraj directed Kathakali
18:51Pandiraj and Vishal
18:53Kathakali and Hippapadi
18:55There's a romantic song called Alagi
18:57Alagi...
18:59There's an opening song called Friendship Kanavan
19:01If it's for you, it's for me
19:03It's a very famous song
19:05Watching the film is a part of that song
19:07The hero liked it a lot
19:09Katharine Theresa
19:11I liked it a lot
19:13That's why I decided to go for the film
19:15She's beautiful in that song
19:17She's always smiling
19:19Tharaithapadi and Bala...
19:21I wanted to go
19:23It was different
19:25I wanted to go for that
19:27There was a song called Gethu
19:29There's another song called Muttapajji
19:31I love Muttapajji
19:33There's a line in the middle
19:35I love Muttapajji
19:37There's a line in the middle
19:39When are you going to come on WhatsApp?
19:41I haven't slept for a long time
19:43There's a line
19:45It has a vibe
19:47It's Harry Zairaj
19:49That's right
19:51We've seen normal songs
19:53They've done a lot of songs
19:55It's fun to listen to
19:59Udayanidhi and Harry Zairaj have a great combo
20:01Let it be OK
20:03Kathirvelan's song
20:05I think it's Kathirvelan's song
20:07Anbu...
20:09That or Nanban
20:11That's a good combo
20:15I can't forget this film
20:17First Rajinikanth
20:19Then I saw the film
20:21Everything was in a unique context
20:23Tharaithapadi and Bala were doing it uniquely
20:25Then Gethu...
20:27Udayanidhi...
20:29Vikram would have done it
20:31Yes, he would have
20:33In Gethu, he would have added lines
20:35His hair...
20:37Before that, his hair would have been like his
20:39In Gethu, his hair would have been stripped
20:41He would have grown a beard
20:43He would have tried to be an action hero
20:45Udayanidhi was good at that time
20:47That's the film
20:49Then Kathirvelan
20:512016
20:53If you ask me...
20:55It was 2011
20:57It was that year
20:59You can separate it
21:01The Tamil cinema before 2010
21:03The Tamil cinema after 2011
21:05Or you can take the heroism of the actors
21:07After 2011
21:11Vijay's Kavalan
21:13Dhanush's Aadukalam
21:15Karthi's Siruthai
21:17Three great films
21:19If we talk about Kavalan
21:21It won many negative reviews
21:23But Aadukalam
21:25Aadukalam
21:27The second time
21:29Dhanush's Kambola
21:31I saw Kavalan in Madurai
21:33But Aadukalam was shot entirely in Madurai
21:35We've seen a lot of shootings
21:37Dhanush will easily cross the border
21:39We've seen a lot of things
21:41But...
21:43I had low expectations for the film
21:45So I got some sun-pictures
21:47They were promoted on TV
21:49I thought I'd watch Vijay's film
21:51But everyone said that Aadukalam was better
21:53Everyone said that Aadukalam was better
21:55I said, go and watch it
21:57I was shocked to see the film
21:59Vetrimaran is not a native of Madurai
22:01How did he manage to shoot a raw film
22:03With a story in mind
22:07Dhanush's slang
22:09Madurai slang
22:11He'll talk like that
22:13K.P.Karup
22:15Topsy
22:17His attitude
22:19He'll hit the ball on topsy
22:21Do you want a ball?
22:23Balls!
22:25He'll do it like that
22:27I was shocked to see Aadukalam
22:29Thirdly, Siruthai
22:31Siruthai Sivaan
22:33We should celebrate that
22:35He's given some good films
22:37We believe he'll make a comeback
22:39The film that gave him that identity
22:41I think it's Karthik's third film
22:43I think it's Karthik's third film
22:45I think it's Karthik's fourth film
22:47Parthiviran
22:49I think it's Parthiviran's third film
22:51I don't know if it's Parthiviran or Siruthai
22:53Sandhanam is their first film
22:55Sandhanam is at the peak
22:57That's when Siruthai comes
22:59There's comedy in the film
23:01What's a film for a festival?
23:03For a festival, it's Siruthai
23:05Kavalan is good
23:07Aadukalam is even better
23:09But if it's a hit, it's Siruthai
23:11It's a film that attracts all kinds of audiences
23:13Comedy, emotion
23:15Especially for the Aadhaar song
23:17There's a lot of emotion in the film
23:19Ratnavelu Pandiyan
23:21The scene where Karthik jumps
23:23It's a commercial movie
23:25It's a big hit
23:27I think it's 2011 that gave Tamil cinema a new route
23:29Vijay gives a hit
23:31Dhanush comes to the next peak
23:33Karthik's energy continues
23:35Sandhanam comes to the peak
23:37A director like Siruthai Shiva
23:39makes a lot of films
23:41and wins the next festival
23:43Yes, he did
23:45He did a good job
23:47So, 2011 is an important year
23:53What film are you waiting for this year?
23:55I'm waiting for Kaadhalikku Neyaragondai
23:59I really liked Krithika Udhayanidhi's first film
24:01Vanakkam Chennai
24:03I really liked it
24:05I didn't think much about it
24:07last year or the year before
24:09I was thinking about a romantic film
24:11like Vanakkam Chennai
24:13I was wondering why Krithika Udhayanidhi wouldn't come
24:15I'm looking forward to Krithika Udhayanidhi's return
24:19At the same time
24:21Mohan Ravi has acted
24:23Is it Mohan Ravi or Ravi Mohan?
24:25Ravi Mohan
24:27Ravi Mohan
24:29Nithya Menon
24:31I'm a big fan of Nithya Menon
24:33I love his acting
24:35And of course
24:37the greatest
24:39A. R. Rahman
24:41What about you?
24:43I'm interested in a film called Tharuvanam
24:45It's a low budget film
24:47It's interesting
24:49It's directed by Arvind Srinivasan
24:51Kishan Das is in it
24:53He did a lot of digital work
24:55on YouTube
24:57He talks about filmmaking
24:59and reviews
25:01He did a film called Muthal Neyum
25:03and then this
25:05He said that this film
25:07has a good content base
25:09There was a thriller in the film
25:11Yes, there was
25:13There's an unexpected incident
25:15in Tharuvanam
25:17So, I thought I'd go for this film
25:19I expected a lot from this film
25:21I tried my best
25:23But the film didn't come
25:25But it's still Thala Pongal
25:27Yes!
25:29Yes, it's Thala Pongal!
25:31But when I said it was a film
25:33Vinayak was the last one to come
25:35Vinayak
25:37Madhava Raja gave me the MC
25:39I expected the film
25:41I went to the theater
25:43The film satisfied me
25:45It's a good film
25:47It's for a festival
25:49I want to see a film
25:51other than that
25:53I want to see Vanakkam
25:55Bala will make a comeback
25:57Will he come back?
25:59Surya went abroad
26:01He did Arumugam
26:03There are some positive reviews
26:05I'm curious to see Bala's style
26:09We've talked about a lot of things
26:11The audience can ask the same
26:13What's the first film you saw for Pongal?
26:15What's the first film that comes to your mind?
26:19Which year's Pongal series did you like the most?
26:21What's the film you're looking forward to seeing this year?
26:27Comment below
26:31Happy Pongal to everyone
26:33See you in another video
26:35Thank you
