Yeah.. why he makes the elephant run is interesting.

before doing that, he has a talk with the girl who is sitting on the elephant (whos deeply in love with him). 

anyway the movie is made in two parts.. He should have done 3 parts. The story is thick and deep.

Lot of people are saying Jayam Ravi is not the right choice for ArulMozhi varman.. but I think he's fine.

because the real hero of the movie is Vandiya Thevan.. and that is played by Karthi. 

I do not know about the book but I believe karthi would be a right fit in to the movie considering his past roles

Maniratnam, like all brahmins, is anti DMK. 

Its true. MGR is much more acceptable to brahmins because he was a dishonest hack like Jayalalitha. would pander to everyone. wear religion on his sleeve. has authoritarian tendencies. Karunanidhi was a democrat by nature.

Karunanidhi openly mocked puranic gods. He never mocked smaller village gods or other faith. Just gods structurally interwoven into the hindu mass culture.

They would praise Karunanidhi in public, but would always cry in private that he was being unfair.

Karunanidhi was a champ. He became a leader in a state full of relgious people, even when he was an open atheist.

Vijay was offered that role. I think he's a much better fit. this was the time when Mahesh Babu was offered the role of ArulMozhi Varman - also a great choice.

but Vijay refused to play second fiddle as friend to the king.

He did very few movies in telugu by then but seeing prominence required in diction and dialogues in that movie they could have avoided his dubbing..

Once MGR expires and then anguish of Karunanidhi in climax is very tough for a newbie to carry the emotion in the voice...

emanna na.. aithey whole cinema ni cut cheyyali.

Karnunanidhi oka secondary character laaga undhi movie lo. real life lo, he's the hero of TN, not MGR. not Jayalalitha.

movie lo script baagunna kooda, konni scenes single shot lo drag chesi general audience ki virakti puttisthundi. and 1997 was too early to release this film. ippudu release ayyinte, koncham baaga aadedhi. ee cinema hit ayye chance aey ledhu eppudu.

maniratnam made a film about the two most popular people in TN at that time, and he  got buried in the medium, and failed to tell an interesting story that is accessible to lay audience.

but this is the movie where maniratnam became a more visual director, and he keeps on evolving even today. Even his worst movies of today, have shades of the maniratnam  from this film. This film left a deep impact on him.

too bad, Maniratnam is not a political person. If he had atleast some respect for the dravidian movement, and the general anti union politics of TN even before dravidian movement, dating back to british raj itself, he could've written an even better film.

TN always wanted self rule, from 1850s. even british who governed the region asked for regional autonomy.

Maniratnam's greatest achievement is, he made a movie that had two leading voices of the dravidian movement (karunanidhi, and Annadurai) and made the movie entirely about power hungry conniving apolitical populist MGR.
