Movies with tragic ending have always won the hearts of millions, right from 16 Vayathinilae to the recent Paruthiveeran.

All these movies brushed realism and the audience loved it. Vazhvae Maayam, with the hot and happening Kamal Hassan in the lead, had a tragic end, still it went on to become a blockbuster.

Paruthiveeran was also doomed to become a flop due to its climax. With the movie now marching towards victory the rest is history.

Kreedom, which was well appreciated by the critics and the masses alike, did not get a positive response from Ajith’s fans. Even though the fans liked their Thala’s acting they were uncomfortable to see the end where their hero loses everything. Bowing down to the fans request, AL.Vijay, the debutant director decided to change the climax of the movie. A substitute climax, which has been shot just in case the original version is not well-received, will be added tomorrow in all the theatres running the show. A realistic movie has succumbed to the cinematic clichés. Should fans be allowed to dictate the terms? Is this a good trend for Tamil cinema? Please comment on it.
