I dont quite get it why people hate Ilayathalapthy Vijay

Wait I don't quite get it. Ilayathalapthy Vijay acted in 59 movies in the span of 23 years of acting. Within these years, he has won 25 awards out of nomination of 33, all being for favourite actor (chosen by public) and best actor. This including 3 state awards, which means in average 90% of his movies are either nominated or won.

Additionally he has won best male playback singer. But people still hate him.
Most of his movies were blockbuster hit, biggest opening, 100 days movies, biggest sales etc such as Thullatha Manamum Thullum, Nilave Va, Friends, Gilli, Pokkiri, Katthi, Thuppaki to name a few. But people still hate him.

Apart from acting, singing for 30 songs in his career span, dancing, great humor sense, down to earth, Vijay has his own charity organization called Vijay Makkal Iyakam which silently have been donating and performing various philanthropic activities. But people still hate him.

During downfall period, of course he did some ridiculously disastrous movies such as Thirupachi, Sura, Villu, Azhagiya Tamizh Magan, Kuruvi etc. He rose back from ashes with Vettaikaran which became box office hit and highest grosser of 2009 with 70crores collection. Producer happy, director happy. But people still hate him.

After many dissatisfaction and complains, he tried and still trying different genres such as Kavalan, Nanban and recently being Puli (a fantasy film), but people still hate him.

I don't quite it, literally.

Copied or Inspired

Everything is inspired from something else. From automobile to complex design, softwares to operating systems and movies are not spared as well.

Recently there were many videos released saying that Kaththi was copied from this movie, that fight scene was from another movie, the song was copied, this was ripped & that was taken. I may agree with that partially, but I do have a question.

If the some scene's in Kaththi (that includes the teaser as well) claimed to be copied, then the same would agree if I say Velu Naicker was 'copied' from Vito Corleone and that inclusive of the hairdo up to the jawbone. The same would also agree if I were to say Jigarthanda was inspired Dirty Carnival with a tweaked second half, of course some scenes from movies like Hitchcock (Siddarth standing outside the theatre hall and counts). Also I dont know if some realise before Life of Pi, there was Duma. The difference was Duma was South Africa with journey on a land whereas Pi was travelling with a tiger on a boat. Both for the same reason.

The list goes on.

So no matter what, some way some how movies will have impacts from current happenings, from another life experience and some times stories. Its end of the day the story telling that matters. That is why, the disclaimer will always be there (though most of us dont actually read it) which says "This is a work of fiction. Events, characters and firms depicted in this movie etc etc..."

Despite all that, I am very sure some will still go on hating not only Vijai but also other movies, finding faults and failed to get entertained. To Vijai haters especially, thank you for your concerns and feedback, now I will go on being his fan and keep watching his blockbusters.

Valgha Valamudan.

Ilayathalapathy Fan.
