Dear
Behindwoods.
I'm a regular visitor and a fond follower
of Behindwoods over the last 3 yrs. In
the last couple of years, I have seen
the meteoric rise of Suriya. I also have
immense pride in showing Tamil films now,
to my Indian friends from north of the
Vindhyas and have them sit up and take
notice. Having grown around various parts
of the country, I follow multiple movie
industries and I don't see the sheer variety
and excitement, as seen in the Tamil industry,
elsewhere! And a welcome change in seeing
some beautiful dusky skinned talent in
recent times! Proud to be a Tamilian all
the more now!
I'm a BIG fan of the 'Sivakumar maindhargal'
Suriya and now Karthi! Suriya's been an
actor to look out for to me, from his
Nerukku Ner days, when he stood shoulder
to shoulder with the established Vijay,
and shared screen space with a stalwart
Raghuvaran. From the 'Also ran' hero who
couldn't shake a leg, to an awesome dancer,
a glimpse of which was first seen in Mounam
Pesiyadhe, his hard work showed in his
products My respects towards him grew
manifold with every movie he acted in
barring the few he selected out of inexperience
right after his debut.. He started delivering
enjoyable hits! Mounam pesiyadhe, Nanda,
kaakha kaakha and Pithamagan (in which
I felt he stole the show right under Vikram's
nose).Aayudha ezhuthu made me his follower,

and then Ghajini nailed it! Never did he let his act
repeat, be it commercial potboilers like Aaru, or
Vel or the funny Perazhagan and Maayavi. I showed
Vaaranam Aayiram to an audience of north Indian friends
and acted as a proud translator. But post VA, I see
a drop in Suriya's film qualities. Ayan was a welcome
break with a commercial release after a very demanding
VA. Something similar to Aaru after Ghajini. But the
movies that followed have also not been anything special
to talk about for Suriya-the actor, not the star.
Be it Aadhavan or Singam, while there is no doubting
Suriya's effort, the story line doesn't seem much
better than Vijay films, with all due respects to
the genre. He has carried over his shoulders these
films' flaws, especially Aadhavan. Hope he doesn't
get stereotyped and suffer like Rajinikanth -The Actor.
Would definitely like to see him in, say, a negative
role, or an out and out comedy which would give some
fodder to his histrionic skills.
Another point that I don't find in many reviews (or
in any review at all(?!)) is a mention of his newly
found fashion sense. I found his costumes in Ghajini
songs gaudy and out of sorts. But then, post Sillunnu
oru kaadhal, there seems to be a magic touch (Jyo's?).
His styles are all international. From his straight/skinny
jeans to his leather shoes especially in songs of
Aadhavan. They were mind blowing. His hair styles
have also been really up to date as per international
standards! Here's another thing Suriya is doing in
Kamal's way...Trend setting. Hope to see the Chennai
youth in equally trendy outfits and styles the next
time I come down to India.
And
last but not the least, here’s best of Wishes
from an ardent follower for his newly born (son)
and newly conceived (ezham arivu)!
Thanks and Regards,
Yashwanth Chandrashekhar
