This gentleman is not a freedom fighter or someone like that, so don't feel bad if this name does not ring a bell. There are some people who are actually good at their job - be it dancing, driving, toilet cleaning, teaching etc. There is the next bunch that strives to be good at whatever they do. The third, funny group has people without any skill whatsoever. However this noisiest bunch craves for attention, identity. So how does this group go about making news? Just check this out.

Addendum:With reference to Muthuvel's comment - I would not have had any problems had that so-called film review been published under the title I hate Kamal. But when it is given as a movie review - it makes a mockery of the readers as well. I really don't know how this "movie review" passed the editor's desk!
And something interesting is happening here. Earlier I was irritated.Now am thoroughly baffled by the way the media's minds work!

Everyone has a right to speech... so can't really blame! When one criticizes another, normally out of emotions, s/he fails to appreciate the goodness in others. That makes the judgement biased. The review is only his opinion and it need not be the opinion of everyone. Intellectuals base their judgement only on their own opinion and don't go by what others opine. The opinion holds good for himself but need not be so for everyone...:(
Epdi namma philosophy??

Dei Lee, I don't agree. When someone makes a movie and releases it for public screening on commercial grounds, s/he subjects her/himself to criticism from the public. So, it is her/his duty to accept criticism. After all, media is a public entity and the public entity has right to opinion. When a news channel can praise a work, why can't it criticize a work? It has rights to both the actions. We can't keep the world shut. As long as the world has a mouth, it will speak up. When it speaks up, it is at least a tool to realise that there are some people who don't like the work and are irritated. To me the best way is - Discount their criticism and keep marching. Have clear judgements about your own work... You will come up in life!!

Well...did you go thro' the addendum?

Yes, I went through the addendum. My comments didn't reflect my reading of your addendum:( Anyways, my point is - Don't get carried away when sopmeone praises you and don't get disheartened when someone criticizes you. There can be more than a reason why someone praises/criticzes you. So, can't really rely on the judgements someone expresses!

Muthuvel, I like the way you painstakingly put the "she" before the "he"...
