Will watch the video in a while...

will get back to the movie in a few, who knows if it picks up... we have it on some site, so the print is bad, maybe that's why it's appearing the way it is.

no clue; who is she? there are many tambrahm ingratiators. they were some of the first to migrate and hence have a head start on all southern indians on the fine art of ingratiation and sucking up.

Oh, you really have no clue? Which rock are you living under? To be fair to you, I do remember you talking her down before.

So the non-ingratiator pure tamils 1. don't like anyone appreciate their talents and arts and 2. don't appreciate anyone else's talents either. They just want to live in their own hole called Tamilnadu. Great! All of us non-tamils can do the first one for sure.

btw, it's bottu, not pottu.

you have it wrong. there are tamilians i have tremendous respect for who are firmly in the non-ingratiator category who have discovered on their own terms what's best and pure in indian art outside of their own immediate cultural experience, and have indeed become masters at it. people like m.s.gopalakrishnan and n.rajam.  they went out and sought the best that north indian music has to offer and mastered it. nothing to do with popularity, bollywood, or learning to do dil deewana dance or singing. that said who is the massive pottu-ed woman who is crying rivers of tears for the mangeshkar?
