Will review within 4 or 5 days.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:32, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reword "In February 2014, Kamal Haasan, in an interview with The Hindu Business Line, said that when Mahendra narrated the story of Moondram Pirai to him, Haasan listened to Mahendra for about 20 minutes and then told Mahendra to include him in the film,[9] after Mahendra assured Haasan that he would walk away with the applause." It's quite a mouthful.

@Dr. Blofeld: Reworded. If there are any better words, do suggest them. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"was considered only for her "grind and bump routine" style of acting," -no idea what you mean!

Done Actually it means, "performing item numbers". — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Moondram Pirai depicted a young woman whose mental state regresses to that of a child following an accident. Sexuality and the repression of desire were dominant motifs, similar to Balu Mahendra's previous film Moodu Pani (1980).[" This should all be in present tense as the film still exists.

You have resolved it yourself, doc. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

saying that Velu Nayakar came for a "focused purpose",?

Done Removed that portion. Ratnam only states it that way. "Focused purpose" may refer to information about his fellow dons. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Cheenu's attraction to Bhagyalakshmi is reminiscent of Robert Ledgard's (Antonio Banderas) attraction to Vera Cruz (Elena Anaya) in Pedro Almodóvar's Spanish film The Skin I Live In (2011). " How can it be reminiscent of a film released 29 years later?

Done resolved. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
