Sasikumar as modern dude in Bramman - What were they thinking?

Vimal as IIT student in Ishtam - ennatha solla?

Jayam Ravi as freshly passed out bachelor in ‘Santhosh Subramyam’ - He looked like he could beat up 10 fully grown men.

Vijayakanth as Gajendra - yenda remake naalum oru nyaayam venamaa da?

Trisha in Aranmanai 2 - wasn’t scary or well executed at all, big let down. Some of my friends felt she looked cuter than usual. Got reminded of the Vadivelu -Satyaraj English kaaran meme ‘Dei athu un athai da’.

VJS in Kadhalum kadanthu pogum - The role was a better fit for an unknown actor. VJS was too big for a mediocre script

Vijay Antony in Salim - The well-written role was half-wasted by VA. Due credit for the performance he could muster, but the movie would have been awesome with a more talented star. VA trying to score was even funny in places.

Sadha in Anniyan - she looked downright ordinary alongside Vikram. Vikram trying to woo her was hard to understand.

Bhagyaraj in Thupparivalan - While it was a welcome change for the ace director, he looked completely out of place in a violent crime drama - that too as a bad guy.

Parvathi and Bruna Abdulla in Billa 2 - aside from being lacklustre, both were no match for Ajith. Bikini shots too were out of place.

Arun pandiyan in Chidambara Rahasiyam - While he looked badass, he was completely out of depth among stalwarts like Visu, Shekhar, Delhi Ganesh and Manorama.

Rajnikanth in Kaalaa - This was weird. It looked like a role that was written for Rajkiran or Prakash raj. Rajni was super-overkill for this poor script.

Reema sen in Aayirathil Oruvan - Yes, she was hot. But the high octane scenes were quite cringe worthy for me. Maybe just me.

STR in Osthe - Peru Osthe velan Heroine peru Neduvaali. Shebbaaaa.

Anandaraj in Pokkiri - It was sad to see him wasted in a small role. Prabhu deva’s re-writing of his death scene was horrible. The original had a more creative scene written by Puri.

Bobby Simha in Bangalore naatkal - sodhikaathinga da yennaiya.

Kaadhal Sandhya in Vallavan - Horrible film, yes. But Sandhya was the most impacted. Poor role and she made it worst by trying to imitate Jo. Yenda ella payalum soona paana aagida mudiyuma da?

Ashwin Shekhar in Vegam - Othukuren. Any film with Ashwin is a bad casting choice. But he was rotund, shockingly bad and unfit for this role. Dei, Cellular padathu copy da... konjam eevu irakkam kaatunga.

Arya in Settai - ennala mduiyala da.

Shanmuga Pandi in .. Seri vidunga.
