  10. இன்னங்க ஐயா.
    ரொம்ப நாளா ஆங்கில படங்களுக்கான விமர்சனங்கள் வரவில்லை. உங்களுடைய விமர்சங்களின் அடிப்படையிலதான் படம் பார்க்கவோ அல்லது DVD வாங்கவோ வேண்டும்.

    அது சரி எப்படி விமர்சனங்கள் எழுதுகின்றீர்கள். ஒரு முறை பார்த்தால் படத்தின் கதை வடிவம்புரிந்துவிடுகிறதா?
    திரைக்கதையின் நெளிவு சுளிவுகள் தெரிந்து விடுமா?
    நானும் முயற்சித்து பார்த்தே ஆனால் முடியவில்லை

    நான் கடைசியாக பாா்த்தப்படம் இன்டிபென்டஸ் டே படம் மகா மொக்கை… இது என்னுடைய கருத்து

    உங்கள் கருத்துக்குத் தான் காத்திருக்கின்றேன்
