My verdict

sudama alias kuselan alias pasupathy !
what should have rightly belonged to pasupathy went to the superstar. The publicity of the movie kuselan is what i'm talking about. A whole-hearted, sincere performance by 'real star' pasupathy. Every single frame of his in the movie was perfect. Whether it be a family scene with meena or an emotional scene with the 'superstar' himself or whether it be a crap scene involving the comedians - vadivelu, santhanabharathi, livingston, vaiyapuri and others. He scores a perfect 10.
Will kuselan be a hit ?
Yes and no. The emotional chemistry we saw between munnabhai and circuit is what is missing in the most important scenes - The climax. Rajini fails to appeal in one important scene where he has to slap Balu ( pasupathy's name in kuselan ). These are scenes which should make the audience cry. This is the only way this movie can score. such is the story line. such is the subject written by srinivasan. I have'nt seen katha parayumbol myself. But i can imagine how touching it would have been as rajni had decided to remake it and act as himself in the movie.
It's like walking over a knife and its not always that you can pull off a mighty performance.
Meena was at her own best. But when nayantara's name appears before hers all we can do is just have some sympathy for her. Thats cinema. Rajni may not score with his latest offering but robot will recover him from this near 'baba' :)

Verdict : Average ! Nothing like chandramukhi.
