star trek v : the final frontier is a 1989 american science fiction film directed by william shatner and based on the television series of the same name created by gene roddenberry .

it is the fifth installment in the star trek film series .

taking place shortly after the events of star trek iv : the voyage home ( 1986 ) , its plot follows the crew of the uss enterprise-a as they confront a renegade vulcan , sybok , who is searching for god at the center of the galaxy .

the film was directed by cast member william shatner , following two films being directed by his co-star leonard nimoy .

shatner also developed the initial storyline , in which sybok searches for god , but instead finds an alien being .

series creator gene roddenberry disliked the original script , while nimoy and deforest kelley objected to the premise that their characters , spock and leonard mccoy , would betray shatner 's james t. kirk .

the script went through multiple revisions to please the cast and paramount pictures , including cuts in the effects-laden climax of the film .

despite a writers ' - guild strike cutting into the film 's pre-production , paramount commenced filming in october 1988 .

many star trek veterans assisted in the film 's production ; art director nilo rodis developed the designs for many of the film 's locales , shots , and characters , while herman zimmerman served as its production designer .

production problems plagued the film on set and during location shooting in yosemite national park and the mojave desert .

as effects house industrial light & magic 's best crews were busy and would be too expensive , the production used bran ferren 's company for the film 's effects , which had to be revised several times in order to lower production costs .

the film 's ending was reworked because of poor test-audience reaction , and the failure of planned special effects .

jerry goldsmith , composer for star trek : the motion picture , returned to score the final frontier .

the final frontier was released in north america on june 9 , 1989 , by paramount pictures .

it had the highest opening gross of any star trek film in at that point and was number one in its first week at the box office , but its grosses quickly dropped in subsequent weeks .

the film received generally mixed to poor reviews by critics on release , and according to its producer , " nearly killed the franchise " .

the next entry in the series , star trek vi : the undiscovered country ( 1991 ) , received a more positive reception .

so far , there are 13 . star trek v : the final frontier was preceded by star trek : the motion picture ( 1979 ) ( 1979 ) , star trek : the wrath of khan ( 1982 ) ( 1982 ) , star trek iii : the search for spock ( 1984 ) ( 1984 ) , and star trek iv : the voyage home ( 1986 ) ( 1986 ) , and followed by star trek vi : the undiscovered country ( 1991 ) ( 1991 ) , all of which featured the enterprise captained by james t kirk . star trek : generations ( 1994 ) ( 1994 ) unites kirk ' s crew with the crew of the enterprise captained by jean - luc picard ( patrick stewart ) . the other star trek movies featuring picard as captain include : star trek : first contact ( 1996 ) ( 1996 ) , star trek : insurrection ( 1998 ) ( 1998 ) , and star trek : nemesis ( 2002 ) ( 2002 ) . star trek ( 2009 ) ( 2009 ) , star trek : into darkness ( 2013 ) ( 2013 ) and star trek : beyond ( 2016 ) ( 2016 ) harken to an alternate reality in which kirk was just beginning his career with starfleet academy .

star trek v was the first star trek production to be made in tandem with another ( star trek : the next generation , whose second season was in production during the filming ) and one of only two productions to be made during that time period without any involvement from rick berman .

but for star trek fans , haven’t we seen this all before ? arguably the enterprise gets decimated at least two times in the star trek cinematic canon .

but unimpressed fans have been quick to lay the blame firmly back at the feet of shatner for the failings of the final frontier .

when star trek convention - goers gathered in 2013 to rank the films from best to worst , star trek into darkness rightfully ranked in the bottom spot…and star trek v : the final frontier rightfully fell right under it . the fifth star trek movie starring the original crew , directed by william shatner himself , is a bad movie , a cringeworthy exercise in how to sabotage everything that makes the original series dynamic work . and now , shatner has apologized for it . sort of . kind of . not really .

star trek v : the final frontier , or as comedian jeff ross called it , star trek v : the death of a franchise , was ladened with problems , not the least of which would be the amateurish , less - than - b - movie optical effects . even star trek fans like myself tend to disown the entry in the series . however , as loving as we are when it comes to our favorite series , some fans take it upon themselves to correct some of these idiosyncrosise rather than just sweep them under the rug .

i was tempted to buy the two - disc special - edition dvd of star trek v : the final frontier because i was interested in hearing the commentary track by william shatner . i ' d imagine a commentary track on this failed film would be illuminating , or at the very least interesting .

there was some public dissatisfaction with star trek : the next generation amongst fans at the time .

star trek : the next generation , vol . 3 ( music from the original television soundtrack )

on 28 december , the last production day ( only a few missing special effects shots were filmed that day ) , a press conference was held on the set to various newspaper , television and radio reporters . producers harve bennett , and ralph winter , director william shatner and the entire star trek main cast participated , answering questions . ( star trek v : the final frontier dvd special features )

in the star trek cinematic canon , it’s par for the course to have its openings jump up and down . just when it looked like star trek movies ( with the original 1966 cast ) might be out of touch with audiences in the mid 1980s , particularly with a revamped tv series star trek the next generation hitting the airwaves , along came 1986’s star trek iv : the voyage home with its then - present - day earth backdrop and humpback whale environmental themes . the pic breathed new life into the franchise , and turned around the best gross for a star trek sequel ever at the time with $ 109 . 7m at the domestic box office . voyage home held that record for 23 years until it was unseated by j . j . abrams ’ 2009 star trek reboot which earned the series all - time high of $ 257 . 7m . but you know when a star trek sequel is definitely in trouble when it posts a disastrous final cume , i . e . 1989’s star trek v : the final frontier ( $ 52 . 2m ) and 2002’s star trek : nemesis ( $ 43 . 3m ) .

i am so glad that i purchased this soundtrack . the music is beautiful and most relaxing . jerry goldsmith outdid himself with this soundtrack to star trek v .

mr . shatner was kind enough to speak with us about the event , as well as the status of the star trek v dvd and other future projects . . .

as william shatner ' s fellow star trek franchise actors leonard nimoy and jonathan frakes can attest , directing a star trek movie is no easy feat . unfortunately , the final frontier failed to impress enough fans , whether it was due to the poor special effects or a subpar story . fortunately , the original series characters were able to return one last time together two years later in the undiscovered country , and the star trek movie series has continued on since , most recently with star trek beyond . it ' s just a shame that shatner didn ' t get that number crunching help for the final frontier , otherwise maybe that ending would have looked a lot better .

' star trek v : the final frontier ' may be the weakest movie in the series , but it has more positive elements than most fans are willing to acknowledge . honestly , it ' s still ' star trek , ' and not unwatchable by any means . like most of the later movies in the set , the blu - ray has problematic video , but pretty good audio and a bunch of bonus features .

am i saying that star trek v should be treated in the same way as 1984 ? no . but perhaps if i had more courage i would say yes .

out of all the original cast star trek films , star trek v : the final frontier is the one that seems to regularly receive the beatings . it is cast aside like the fat and wheezy boys in p . e . lessons . standing alone at the side of the field while the other star trek films save the day . i suppose if that metaphor where to stand up , you would have to say that star trek : the motion picture would be the swatty , studious boy who sits under a tree and contemplates life , the universe and all that . anyway , star trek v is bullied by most and ignored by the rest . that must mean it is really bad , eh ? well , no actually . it isn’t . certainly if you compare it to the next generation films such as nemesis or insurrection , it is actually a masterpiece .

none of shatner’s big plans didn’t come to naught . the final frontier cost much more than the voyage home , more than any trek film since the motion picture , and the final act looks shot on sandpaper . they meet god , he isn’t god , they shoot fake alien god , the end !

one fan summed it up by saying : " nothing could have saved star trek v . the weak ending was merely the icing on the cake made from steaming horse cr * * . "

accordingly , film critic josh larsen of larsen on film , rated it with three stars declaring , " i’m grading on a sliding scale here - final frontier is “good” only in relation to the previous star trek pictures . " he went on to state , " final frontier would be another wash were it not for laurence luckinbill as the series’ first interesting villain ( and yes , i’m counting the bewilderingly beloved khan ) . "

while considered by many as the worst of the star trek films - and it certainly does have problems - , the final frontier is rather enjoyable and has some memorable moments that only fail to raise it to a higher level due to a clear lack of better polishing .

in order to save money , shatner and crew used much of the sets of star trek the next generation .

a critical and commercial failure , the final frontier very nearly ended the star trek movie series . paramount eventually coupled it with indiana jones and the last crusade as a double feature in a effort to prop up trek ' s gross take , and many of the planned overseas theatrical releases were withdrawn and the movie went straight to home video .

the major disappointments of the summer so far are clint eastwood ' s ' ' pink cadillac , ' ' which has grossed less than $ 12 million for warner brothers , and paramount ' s ' ' star trek v : the final frontier , ' ' which continues to sink . ' ' star trek iii , ' ' the weakest of the first four films in the series , brought paramount $ 39 million in film rentals , or close to $ 80 million at the box office .

i think it ' s fair to say that if you asked 100 star trek fans which of the original cast ' s movies was the weakest the largest percentage of them would say star trek v : the final frontier . the 1989 film was not a huge success , either commercially or critically , and much of the blame was levied on its star / writer / director william shatner . but you may not know that the reason he was given so much creative control dates back over 20 years before the film even went into production . . .

while plugging his new nbc reality - series better late than never with ew , the star trek legend took some time to apologize for how the final frontier ended , blaming a lack of budget for not being able to realize his full vision . here ' s what he said :

with uneven scripting and effects , this is considered the least worthwhile of the big - screen trek adaptations ; it feels like a slipshod , just - before - cancellation episode of the original tv series . it ' s great to see the classic cast interacting - - and there ' s a revelation about dr . mccoy that explains the spacegoing physician ' s grouchy house - like attitude - - but the rest is mediocre . in star trek v : the final frontier ' s defense , the previous three star trek movies were a tough act to follow .

remember during star trek iv , when shatner looked like he would not sign on executive producer harve bennet wanted to do a star trek prequel about the original characters during their time at starfleet academy ; using a new younger cast .

the franchise trended a little prudish from final frontier on — with deep space nine a thought - provoking ( and seven of nine a somewhat embarrassing ) exception . this was necessary ; kirkian machismo was never as openly sexist as , like , james bond , but it was problematic . actually , though , worth pointing out that at no point in the torrid development process of final frontier did shatner even conceive of giving kirk a love interest ; lonely man , lonely road . wait , i take that back . worth putting this in bold type just to make explicit the utter wrongness : the final frontier is the only star trek movie where captain kirk kills a stripper .

star trek v : the final frontier is a scathing commentary on radicalisation , and the rise of islamic terrorism . it is right wing . dark . subversive . brilliant . when watched in the light that it was intended , it ceases to be a muddling and bizarre action adventure film and instead transcends those boundaries . if you like your sci - fi to shine a light on the real world , to engage your brain and challenge your preconceptions , there is the argument to be made that star trek v is not only a worthy film , it is one of the most interesting science fiction films ever made .

" what does god need with a starship ? " there ' s just no way to sugarcoat this : ' star trek v : the final frontier ' is the worst of all the ' star trek ' movies . the film has often been called " shatner ' s folly . " after co - star leonard nimoy ' s tremendous financial and critical success directing the last two ' trek ' pictures , leading man and notorious egomaniac william shatner demanded his day in the sun . paramount consented . the franchise was on top of the world at that point . ' star trek iv : the voyage home ' had been a huge hit in theaters , and ' star trek : the next generation ' was igniting the passions of a whole new audience on tv . what a great promotional opportunity it will be , the studio reasoned , to let captain kirk direct his own ' star trek ' movie . contracts were signed , the cast was reassembled , and soon the wheels were set in motion for what surely would be the biggest ' trek ' of all . and then everything fell apart .

but the books feel very final frontier - y . like , if final frontier is the hobbit , the nine books that comprise the so - called shatner - verse form the freaking silmarillion . the first book , the ashes of eden , has a key plot point that rhymes backwards to shatner’s film : an “eden” - ish planet , with a paradise city - ish combination of klingons and romulans .

star trek v : the final frontier is a scathing commentary on radicalization , and the rise of islamic terrorism . it is right wing . dark . subversive . brilliant . when watched in the light that it was intended , it ceases to be a muddling and bizarre action / adventure film and instead transcends those boundaries . if you like your sci - fi to shine a light on the real world , to engage your brain and challenge your preconceptions , there is the argument to be made that star trek v is not only a worthy film , it is one of the most interesting science fiction films ever made .

the reputation of the end - result was as different as night and day , when compared to the preceding film . the voyage home had been a hit that enjoyed great commercial success and reignited the faith in star trek as a franchise , causing the green - lighting of the next generation . the final frontier , on the other hand , while starting out with highest opening gross of any star trek film , quickly plummeted in its ticket sales , was received negatively both by fans and critics and , according to its producer , " nearly killed " star trek as a film franchise .

star william shatner made a deal with paramount that if star trek iv was successful , he would be contracted to direct the next film , although according to star trek movie memories ( 1995 , p . 244 ) , both william shatner and leonard nimoy had , what shatner referred to as " favored nation clauses " , in their contracts meaning essentially that what one got , the other got . according to shatner , it was nimoy who put the idea of directing star trek v in his head during the production of star trek iv , telling shatner that because of their favored nation status , he could successfully demand to direct the next film .

while star trek : the original series is a beloved series among sci - fi fans , the fact of the matter is that without the star trek movies , the franchise wouldn ' t have grown into the powerhouse it is today . however , not all of these big screen tales have been winners . one of the lesser entries of the bunch is 1989 ' s star trek v : the final frontier , which was directed by captain james t . kirk himself , william shatner . it proved to not only underperform financially , but was also a critical disappointment . nearly 30 years later , shatner is now acknowledging how poorly the ending of the movie turned out , which he says was due to not having the proper funds .

5 . when star trek creator gene roddenberry heard of shatner ' s idea for star trek v he objected to the characters ' search for god in general , and more particularly , the idea of a god as portrayed by western religion . one of roddenberry ' s employees later suggested that some of his employer ' s animosity towards the story stemmed back to

after filming the final amorphous blob scene , shatner and ferren looked at the footage and were not pleased .

i saw the movie five times on the big screen , each time accompanied by a progressively smaller audience around me . for my final viewing , i was the only one inside the dark theater . i haven ' t seen " star trek v " since then . as star trek celebrates its 50th anniversary this year , it ' s time for me to rewatch the film from my now - adult perspective . is it really as bad as everyone says it is ?

shatner fights god . that’s about all anyone remembers from the infamous star trek v : the final frontier . over the years , the tale has grown in the telling . some called it one of the worst films of all time , others call it a box office catastrophe . it killed the careers of the director , producer , the entire special effects company , and nearly ended the entire franchise right there and then . it is remembered merely as a vanity project gone horribly wrong .

star trek v : the final frontier is the ultimate question . what does god need with a starship ? to answer it , we need religion , politics , philosophy and the human condition . it is an exploration not of space , but of existence . these goals are accomplished , although how well accomplished is left as an exercise to the viewer . superficially , star trek v is a mess . but then again , if you’re watching superficially , perhaps you’re already missing the point . this is not an adventure story . this is a biting , vicious allegory of religious extremism . relevant now perhaps more than ever , as it shows startling parallels to the current war against islamic state .

also added that this film did very well as it was liked by both fans and non - fans of the star trek phenomenon .

the first four star trek movies flow neatly into each other to tell one continuous saga , wrapped up in star trek iv : the voyage home , but now the series starts over from scratch in star trek v : the final frontier . but starfleet still orders captain kirk and his crew from their camping trip and marshmallow roasts ( ! ? ) to speed to a desert planet , where ambassadors of the klingon and romulan empires have been taken hostage . the enterprise is thus lured into a trap and hijacked by sybok ( lawrence luckinbill ) , mr . spock ' s long - lost brother , a renegade cult leader . sybok intends to literally find heaven and god by taking the ship into a forbidden zone of space .

audio commentary by trek experts michael & denise okuda , authors judith & garfield reese - stevens , and visual effects artist daren dochterman – now this is the commentary that ' star trek v ' needs , and is a big improvement over shatner ' s track . the group ( who had previously assembled for the ' star trek : the motion picture ' blu - ray ) are quite honest and insightful in their analysis of " the challenged star trek movie . " they ' re able to acknowledge both the good and bad in the film . the track offers a lot of great trivia . ( shatner originally wanted sean connery for sybok ! ) whether you like ' star trek v ' or not , this commentary is a very good listen . i wish this group had been able to comment on every movie in the set .

star trek v : the final frontier is the ultimate question . what does god need with a starship ? to answer it , we need religion , politics , philosophy , and the human condition . it is an exploration not of space , but of existence . these goals are accomplished , although how well accomplished is left as an exercise for the viewer . superficially , star trek v is a mess . but then again , if you’re watching superficially , perhaps you’re already missing the point . this is not an adventure story . this is a biting , vicious allegory of religious extremism . relevant now perhaps more than ever , as it shows startling parallels to the current war against islamic state .

nobody enjoys writing about a bad movie , except connoisseurs of schadenfreude or some habitués of aint it cool news ( two subsets that tend to overlap ) . but as a recovering star trek dork from way back , i ' ll say without flinching that final frontier is one dreary , joyless failure that delivers all the pleasure of a plucked pubic hair . its shortcomings are particularly striking given that it sits between the series ' most financially successful entry , leonard nimoy ' s vapid but affable star trek iv : the voyage home , and nicholas meyer ' s self - assured star trek vi : the undiscovered country .

there is something to be said for a film that lists among its technical credits a klingon dialogue consultant . but much as it grieves a serious trekkie to say it , the final frontier is the biggest disappointment since spock blew his cool with that awful woman in the cloudminders episode . following the unusual critical approbation of star trek iv : the voyage home , and no doubt envying leonard nimoy his successful transition to directing , william shatner took over directorial duty for the final frontier . in that respect he has not embarrassed himself . in originating the story , however , he has .

4 . harve bennett wasn ' t the only one who initially decided to call time upon their star trek association . according to george takei , he originally turned down the option to appear in star trek v solely because he knew william shatner was directing - the pair had a long standing feud . but shatner personally approached him and convinced takei to reprise his role of sulu .

this is the only one of the first six star trek films not to feature any scenes based in and around starfleet headquarters in san francisco .

god help me — fake alien god help me — but i enjoy the final frontier . it helps to remember just how goofy star trek always could be . we hail the great episodes of the original series , which tend to be serious or tribble - coded as “silly . ” but trek could also be half - baked , horny , macho , gruff ; before “mythology” was a thing , trek could disobey its own past , could reinvent its galaxy every week for an hour .

this movie is also the only star trek movie to be nominated for a golden raspberry award for worst picture ; which is actually won .

both nichelle nichols and william shatner refused to assign any blame to freiberger for the inferior third season of star trek in their published autobiographies .

the 2013 virtual collectible card battle game star trek : rivals was using nimoy ' s picture for card # 103 " ambassador spock " .

the problem with most of the lame comedy in star trek v is its forced nature . the movie is like the anti - star trek iv . where trek iv was about well - oiled nuance where humor grew naturally from situations and character , the early scenes of trek v are about painfully labored , in - your - face three stooges gags that clunk and clang to the floor . among the most cringe - worthy is the awkward scotty / uhura innuendo , which seems to hint at a relationship in such a way the audience is left to decide for itself . it ' s such a needless and poorly played detour that the only possible response is one of befuddlement .

i feel it is time to stop picking on the final frontier and turn attention to the other tired lads on the sidelines . star trek iii : the search for spock for instance , a very silly and desperate premise which is then ponderously delivered with little to no moments of interest for the viewer and a very poor villain in christoper lloyd’s kruge ( who also has a rubber dog puppet ) who you can barely take seriously . so yea , pick on that one and leave poor the final frontier alone , it’s actually pretty good . anyone who hates it can just go climb a rock .

she told me that her previous boyfriend tried to introduce her to the star trek series but the alien creatures , including spock , grossed her out .

star trek : voyager is second only to the next generation among the newer series in regards to the number of awards that it won and its original ratings .

more than anything else , star trek v is a work of profound ego . while leonard nimoy was mostly invisible behind the camera on star trek iii : the search for spoc k and star trek iv : the voyage home , shatner can’t help but make himself the star of the show in every scene of his movie . there isn’t a single scene where kirk isn’t completely right ! the rest of the crew are barely themselves , bumping their heads on low passages and instantly falling for the old “ancient alien claims it’s actually god” trick . only kirk – powerful , brilliant , macho kirk ! – knows what to do in any given situation !

the only real survivor , at least according to the okudas in the star trek encyclopedia , is captain klaa , who was apparently bumped down for his actions and assigned as a courtroom translator in star trek vi the undiscovered country . this was due to a coincidence in that the translator was played by todd bryant .

there were big plans for the final conflict on the god planet . shatner wanted angels , demons , rock - monsters . actually , his plans sound a little bit like everything that happens in darren aronofsky’s noah . i mean it as a huge compliment to two very strange and unloved films that the final frontier feels an awful lot like noah .

the only thing that was built from scratch was the new enterprise - a bridge , which would only be used one more time in star trek vi .

ultimately , though , i decided against the dvd purchase ( i already have a copy on vhs ) . in a capitalist society , we vote for consumer products by using our wallets , and star trek v is a movie that i must strongly vote against . instead , i recently pulled out my vhs copy to revisit this film for the first time in many years . i can say with renewed confidence that this will indeed be the only trek film that won ' t be making its way on to my dvd shelf . ( after having just watched it , i won ' t need to watch it again for many more years , if ever . besides , how can you face the clerk at the checkout line at best buy when you ' re buying star trek v : the final frontier ? kidding , kidding . )

star trek honors nasa ( hd , 10 min . ) – i ' m not sure how ' trek ' " honors " anything in this piece . astronauts and astronomers tell of being inspired by ' star trek . ' the movie ' s science consultant explains his work visualizing the center of the galaxy ( and whether any of that holds up to modern theory ) .

a fascinating dichotomy : trek v is possibly one of the single worst films imaginable ( horrible story , mediocre acting , terrible direction and lousy special effects ) and yet jerry . . .

" space : the final frontier . these are the voyages of the starship enterprise . her ongoing mission : to explore strange new worlds , to seek out new lifeforms and new civilizations ; to boldly go where no one has gone before . "

the name " sha ka ree " was taken from " sean connery " , the actor star trek producers originally wanted to play sybok . unfortunately , connery was busy working on indiana jones and the last crusade , and was unavailable to play the part . ( star trek movie memories 1995 , p . 292 )

that’s a solid result , and the third best bow out of the skydance / bad robot star trek series , however , the justin lin - directed film is 15 % off the three - day of its second installment , star trek into darkness which clocked $ 70 . 9m during the course of its friday to sunday .

i cannot understand how is it possible for people who call themselves star trek fans , not to like this film . even more i can ' t understand how is it possible for the previous movie to have better ratings . the voyage home could have been any other light movie for people who don ' t like to think what they ' ve just seen . . . not for star trek fans . the final frontier movie was about all the stuff that made tos so special . i know it ' s not free willy but if it was i would rate it with a 7 not a 9 . as i did with star trek iv which was just an enjoyable movie . star trek was always about the story . a story that would give you a glimpse to a possible future and make you think about philosophical matters such as life , friendship , god , racism and others . if this is why you watch star trek i believe you will enjoy this film .

for approximately half an hour while star trek : the animated series was in early development , a boyhood version of spock was considered for inclusion as a regular character in the upcoming series , along with other child equivalents of the series ' main characters . ( the art of star trek , pp . 42 & 43 )

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the star trek franchise — and the release of star trek beyond , the 13th feature film in the series . to celebrate this big year , and ponder the deeper meanings of trek ’s first half - century , the entertainment geekly column will look at a different star trek film each week , from now till beyond . this week : the one where kirk meets god , and he is us . last week : leonard nimoy’s beautiful and joyful time - travel comedy . next week : the end of an era — and the return of the great nicholas meyer .

ascribes so much power to inner pain that we must be three steps closer to god by the time the final credits roll .

the weakest to date of the star trek feature films . despite a $ 32 million budget that was recouped within its first month , star trek v isn ' t much more than an expanded tv episode , and not a particularly memorable one at that . yet , even with its many shortcomings , including less - than - exciting action scenes and cartoonlike special effects , this sequel ' s popularity . . . read more

' ' star trek v : the final frontier ' ' presents a different problem . its appeal is to a relatively small but extremely loyal audience of trekkers who have followed captain kirk and mr . spock since the television series started in 1966 .

" incidentally the final dialogue in both the films is so very similar .

his most recent production - - the vijaykant - starrer , sokka thangam , scripted and directed by filmmaker k bhagyaraj and released this year - - was a moderate success . coming after a string of flops , it seemed to have given gv a sense of hope .

soundarya plays the female lead opposite vijayakanth . the heroine had better watch her weight . the maturity in appearance is obvious . however , she is apt in the role of a village belle  initially impish and guileless and later serious and responsible . uma , who reminds you of her actress - mother sumitra , is a welcome find for sister roles . bhagyaraj has conceived this character very well  she is not the ever - weeping spineless sister who would take injustice lying down . she takes on her husband ' s family with courage and wins . similarly , prakashraj ' s role too is a thoughtfully created one . he is not an unreasonable villain , but a normal , down - to - earth person . he is sensitive and flares up when ticked off  yet understands the other person ' s point of view . he is definitely a new character for tamil cinema and credit goes to prakashraj for doing complete justice to the role . the actor will be remembered long for his blemishless portrayal in " chokka thangam " .

. but the hero here is vijayakanth , with bagyaraj content with handling things behind the camera . but as we have seen in their innumerable movies , the two have contrasting styles that don ' t gel and consequently , their union results in a movie that is not likely to make either of their fans happy .

muthu ( vijayakanth ) adores his younger sister maragatham ( uma ) and is in the process of selecting a groom for her . he falls for pavazham ( soundarya ) , an orphan who moves into their village with her grandmother . after rejecting several potential grooms , muthu finds a suitable match for his sister in sundaram ( prakashraj ) . the marriage goes on well but a bombshell is dropped when prakashraj ' s family announces that muthu , in return for sundaram marrying his sister , should wed sundaram ' s sister gauri ( swatika ) . obviously muthu refuses but sundaram ' s family refuses to accept maragatham into their family .

considering current standings in the tamil cinema field , it is natural that vijayakanth holds a lot more clout that bagyaraj . this is obvious from the movie since in the attempt to merge their divergent brands of films , it is bagyaraj who has lost out . the movie is not much different from other movies where vijayakanth stars as the village do - gooder and has all the usual ingredients found in his movies like a squeaky clean image for him , duets in bright costumes and a bunch of fights . on the other hand , bagyaraj ' s trademarks of a humorous screenplay , sprinklings of

dialogs and a close look at marital issues are all but absent . the opening scene , where vijayakanth finds a simple but clever solution to a mad woman who bares herself in public everyday , reminds us of bagyaraj of old but the scene flatters to deceive .

soundarya livens up the proceedings initially and her portions are the only scenes where bagyaraj makes his presence felt . her verbal duels with vijayakanth and his sister and her antics at the photo studio are immensely enjoyable . goundamani and senthil come together after a long time but unfortunately , their comedy track does not evoke many laughs . the other weak aspect of the movie is its bad guys . ponnambalam and his brother do nothing of note and the plan they execute to take revenge on vijayakanth is laughably silly and weak . in fact , their villainy is frequently turned into comedy as they unsuccessfully pursue goundamani .

though vijayakanth is in the center of all the action , it is the characters around him who make the movie watchable . prakashraj ' s character is well defined and provides most of the interest in the movie after the conflict is created . we are never sure about where his loyalties lie - with his wife or his family - and this adds a sense of unpredictability to the movie . and there are several instances where he comes off looking better than vijayakanth . the other impressive character is that of uma . her loyalty to her brother , trust in her husband and outbursts at her husband ' s family make her character strong and likeable . sure vijayakanth has a couple of noticeable scenes ( like his thrashing of prakashraj ' s family and regret for it later ) but it is prakashraj and uma who carry the movie along .

vijayakanth proves that ramanaa was just an aberration as he reverts back to his usual brand of movie . soundarya looks old but makes up for it with a spirited performance . prakashraj and uma perform well and add strength to their characters . goundamani and senthil struggle to evoke memories of their comedy tracks of the past . deva does his part with some unremarkable songs .

vijayakanth is an apt choice for a village hero ' s role all right , but you wish he would avoid the dream duets in garish costumes . the story based on brother - sister sentiment has been extant since time immemorial . all the same , thankfully there are no contrived scenes . muthu ( vijayakanth ) dotes on his sister maragatham ( uma ) and his mission of the moment is to find a suitable match for her . sundaram ( prakashraj ) is his choice and it proves the right move . but things are not smooth between the couple and unwittingly muthu is cause of the friction .

the film brings goundamani and senthil together yet again . the freshness of their earlier innings is missing now . s . s . chandran and gang , whose acerbic tongues cause many a problem in the family , transport you to the cinematic family feuds of the 1960s . they come across as mere caricatures , with their pointless bad - mouthing .

evi , an amazon company , was founded in 2005 under the name true knowledge . the team started out with a mission to make it possible to access the world ' s knowledge simply by asking for information using natural language .

we’re part of the amazon alexa team based in amazon ' s innovative cambridge development centre , alongside other amazon teams including prime air , core machine learning , amazon devices and amazon web services .

tamil film producer , distributor and financier g venkateswaran committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his chetput home in chennai this morning . he is survived by his wife and two children , a son and a daughter , and his brother , filmmaker mani ratnam ( roja , bombay ) .

though the reason behind his death is not known - - there has been no mention of a suicide note - - 56 - year - old venkateshwaran , who was popularly known as gv , had reportedly made some bad financial decisions in recent years .

gv , a qualified chartered accountant , revived the family ' s interest in films when he was in the mid - thirties . his father , the late ratnam iyer , produced some successful family melodramas under the banner venus pictures .

gv , who made nearly 18 movies , produced path - breaking tamil films like kamal haasan ' s nayakan , rajinikanth ' s dalapati , the karthik - prabhu starrer , agni nakshatram and anjali , the moving story of a mentally underdeveloped child . directed by mani ratnam , all of them turned out to be box - office blockbusters .

his films always had an urbane , aesthetic appeal and great music , most of which were composed by the maestro , ilayaraja .

recently , however , lady luck seemed to have abandoned him . some of his films , including rajinikanth ' s baba and haasan ' s aalavandan , for which gv was the chennai distributor , bombed at the box office . while rajinikanth did refund his distributors , the failure of baba had another unseen repercussion - - it dashed gv ' s hopes of bouncing back .

earlier , gv had also burnt his fingers by launching india ' s first public limited company in the film industry . gv films , however , did not live up to its promise .

gv ' s suicide highlights the plight of the tamil film industry in no uncertain terms . in recent years , film after film has bombed at the box office , with a rare movie making it big commercially . astronomical star prices - - in the realm of rs 2 to rs 4 crores ( rs 20 to rs 40 million ) - - has added to the industry ' s woes . video and cd piracy has seemingly made survival difficult for many filmmakers .

on hearing of his death , several leading film personalities , including rajinikanth , vijaykant and anandraj , visited gv ' s home to pay their respects .

vijaykant , who is the president of the tamil film artistes ' association , told reporters the industry was shocked to learn of the ' sad end ' of the producer , known for his ' bravery ' .

gv ' s wife , who was out of town , has been informed . as has his son , who lives in canada , and his daughter , who lives in delhi .
