it features thiagarajan 's son prashanth in lead dual roles as warrior princes , portraying the title characters , with actresses pooja chopra and divya parameshwaran making their film debut as princesses .

the film also features an extensive cast of supporting actors with prabhu , rajkiran , napoleon , prakash raj , jayaram , sneha and kushboo amongst others .

filming , although significantly delayed , began in august 2009 at valluvar kottam in chennai , where an ancient township film set with temples , forts , a lake and palaces had been built .

the film 's producers encountered difficulties in making prompt payments to its crew that consisted of more than 1000 members during the filming in the forests of pollachi .

the filming then shifted to guindy national park in chennai , with the battle sequences shot in kerala and karnataka .

prior to its release , the film drew criticism from the kongu nadu munnetra kazhagam ( kmk ) party with an unsuccessful petition filed at madras high court seeking a ban on the film , claiming that it portrayed the traditional deities of the gounder community in a bad light .

the film was released on 9 april 2011 to a mixed response from critics .

although praised for its cinematography and art direction , it was criticised for having a weak plot and character deficiencies .

the film was later dubbed and released as prashanth veer in hindi and then as rajakota rahasyam in telugu in 2012 and 2013 respectively .

there are a lot of sad christmas faces around 20th century fox this week . “ stuck on you ” was figured to be an automatic $ 100 million dollar film . the farrelly brothers comedy staring matt damon and greg kinnear was given a lot of hype and was expected to play respectably against the christmas competition . however , grim reality is the only thing they found in their stockings . after 2 weeks in release , stuck on you has only pulled in close to $ 17 million and it will be lucky if it breaks $ 40 million when all is said and done .

soul survivor is not the film . i remember seeing sole survivor at the time it was shown on tv in the 70 ' s and was disappointed that it wasn ' t the film i remembered . the film as i remember was in black and white , my parents only had colour tvs , and only at the end of the film the crew realised they were dead . no scenes of helicopters and no scenes of rescue .
a wonderful film - - what cinema is made for . but badly mis - marketed .
yep , almost certain you are talking about ' sole survivor ' . a great film - and i even have a copy on vhs ! can ' t track it down anywhere else as i ' d like a ' restored ' version if possible , ah well .

leaving aside the complex issue of assisted dying , one of the film ' s biggest problems is how much me before you shields the audience . for a supposed romance , it ' s surprisingly prudish .

after winning a slew of awards and nominations at film festivals and other key industry events around the world—including a world cinema grand jury prize nomination at sundance—you would think that carlos moreno’s colombian crime world drama dog eat dog would have the legs to sustain a single - cinema theatrical release . and you would be wrong .
creative closing credits : like shallow hal ( also made by the farrelly bros . ) , the closing credits have short video clips of every single person who worked on the film .
the film is ' sole survivor ' and as it is public domain some people have transferred it from vhs to dvd and are legally selling copies on ebay . hope this helps .
just found this page and read it with great interest . no i don ' t have a definite answer but i ' m pretty sure there is something very strange going on with this film . just mentioned it to my father , with whom i watched the film back in the eighties here in the uk . ' oh ' , he said , you mean the film with richard basehart ? ? i confirmed this and said yes and it also had william shatner in aswell and was called sole survivor . he was adamant william shatner wasn ' t in the version he had seen ( as was i after viewing it on youtube ) . he was pretty sure it wasn ' t called sole survivor either . the thing is , if there is another similar film in existence , surely it would be on the internet somewhere ? ? ? william shatner was definitely not in the version that i saw . i can vividly remember that none of the guys even realised they were ghosts until the end , although one guy was stuck under the tail , just like the soul survivor film .

yep , been driving me crazy for all these years too . it must be sole survivor as no other suggestions have been forthcoming . from memory , the last crew member was left alone with his baseball & bat as his skeleton was stuck under the tail ; the ghosts definitely did not know they were dead ; i remember it in colour but your mind can plays tricks especially as you were probably only 7 or 8 when you saw it . was it sole survivor ? now about to find out as it is available on google . . .
my partner and i both remember this film from our childhood but have been unable to find anyone else who does . thank you for confirming that we didn ' t imagine it . would love to see it again .
finally i have some answers . nice to know that other people are interested in the same story . i made an 8mm flyby shot of the same idea as a teen . it looked real too . but my interest is more personal too . ogden is the same way . once you ' re here you can never leave . if the mormon ' s run you out of business as they did to me you can never get a meaningful job to make you any real money to get away from this place on . i feel like one of those guys . dead and can ' t never get away . i wish somebody could find me & bury me so i could leave . by the way i was fired today from another job . there seems to be no end to this . you may think that utah is picture postcard beautiful but once you ' re trapped in this postcard you can never get out of it . i am real , i am steve nelson . i want to be alive again .
however , even though i am editor - in - chief of norway’s largest newspaper , i have to realize that you are restricting my room for exercising my editorial responsibility . this is what you and your subordinates are doing in this case .

dear mark . i am writing this to inform you that i shall not comply with your requirement to remove this picture .
critics took most issue with a seriously problematic twist that robs lawrence’s character of any agency , the film’s thin plotting and an over - reliance on the charm of its stars to distract from its larger failures .
wow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .
thanks for your reply paul kennedy . i am not saying that you are not right , but i just want to find this film . like so many others , i have remembered watching it as a child and it never left me . some time ago i bought sole survivor and it didn ' t seem to be quite the film i remembered . as children though , i doubt that we would really know film titles . i find it hard to believe that a film can be made such as the catch 22 which you mention , and there not be one mention of it on the whole internet . so far , in my humble opinion , the most likely explanations are that we simply remember the film a little differently from so long ago , or there is actually another edit as someone has said . every version of sole survivor i have seen ( aside from the one i saw on tv as a child ) has been the u . s . version it seems . could there be a european / uk edit ? someone has mentioned on here that they have seen two versions . i have spent some time looking for catch 22 , and variants on that title , but nothing yet .
i ' m curious , what makes you so certain that the movie is called catch 22 . according to the vastness that is the internet , no film exists with that name , other than the ' wrong ' ones we know about .
sorry i too am unable to find the film or title most are looking for , black and white for sure . saw it as a kid and like the ghosts i too have been waiting ever since , best film ever .
i ' m gonna have to level with you . siamese twins ain ' t the easiest sell i ' ve ever had .

i too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !
just as the film is settling into a familiar if crowded romantic - drama groove , an accident happens on the day of the gig , july 31 — and aoi finds herself back at the story’s beginning , a week earlier , as though awakening from a dream . what happened ? riku lets her in on a secret : he can reverse time . his method : a mysterious record on a seemingly ordinary turntable .
me before you is like a two - hour snl skit parodying a bad romantic drama starring a baby - person and a sociopath .
dear mark . i am writing this to inform you that i shall not comply with your requirement to remove this picture . - aftenposten
you might have a point , john . at least three subscribers ( above ) have correctly named the film as catch 22 , but are being ignored by those that can ' t remember . nb not the 1970 catch 22 , i hasten to add .
mr duke later stuck up for the man suspected of having driven through a crowd in charlottesville , killing one woman and injuring 19 others . the former kkk leader said that james alex fields had simply reacted consistent with the violence and chaos that had erupted in the virginia city .
i stumbled upon this thread in search of a black and white movie where the a plane crashes , the pilot dies , and two other men survive the crash . they discover tons of cash in the plane , or on the pilot , and the plot is about how the money affects the friendship . i realize this is off - topic . however , regarding the controversy of whether or not you all are talking about the same movie or two or three different movies . . . you cannot prove a negative ! no - one can tell another person that they are confused because they have seen the movie from their memory . you can ' t say that your memories are the same as each other . you can ' t say that another similar movie does not exist simply because you watched one of the two . stop telling people there is only one movie that can fit this description . if you have found the movie from your memory , that ' s great . but you cannot tell someone else that there is only one possible movie they could be talking about . as long as the possibility exists for there to be more than one movie , you cannot tell them otherwise .
the point is , my father stuck to his guns and he was interested in literature . and he was also an outstanding educator .
cage calls his father his biggest career influence for exposing him to films that would , years later , inform his style as an actor .
thank you for your reply paul kennedy . the trouble is , with believing the film to be this catch 22 which you mention , is that i must then also believe that the whole of the internet does not know that film as no one can find it . i really doubt that any film which has been made is not known by the internet ! i know that a couple of other people have mentioned that title , but far more have given sole survivor as the title . is it not possible that you simply watched the other known catch 22 all those years ago at the same period as sole survivor and you mixed up the two . they have similarities after all , both have ghosts and have the same feel . it ' s almost certain the film is sole survivor , it ' s simply that some who recall it a little differently ( like me ) , do not remember it completely , it was a long time ago . every time i see jason & the argonauts i see something i don ' t remember . also , it is possible there there was a european edit , i have seen that explanation on 2 different sites .
i remember watching this film as well , way back in the 80s . i simply cannot remember the name of the film . however , i remember a scene from the film where a patrol came across the wreckage . all the airmen were standing to attention and then all of a sudden they realised that nobody could see them . they are all sitting around and one of time they disappeared as they were being buried . if i remember rightly , there was one guy left , i don ' t think his body was found though . damn good film , wish i could get my hands on it .
trippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .
sorry , dino , but the urltoken you quote is the one made in 1970 starring the same cast . ( see
urltoken
web site ) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors . not a sole survivor . the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane . at the end of the film , all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found . it certainly wasn ' t
sole survivor
.
ah this is such a silly film , but has some funny moments and heart warming moments too . it ' s enjoyable .
this intriguing film is called
sole survivor
, and was a tv movie made in 1970 , directed by paul stanley and starring william shatner . this film had
haunted
me for years until i finally tracked the title down after many , many lengthy internet searches . on at least two occasions when talking about films in the pub , someone has asked
anyone remember that film where there ' s a crashed bomber and a crew that don ' t know there dead ?
ok all , definitive answer time as i have been obsessed with this film for years . the film is indeed sole survivor a 1970 tv movie . the reason why the difficulty in identifying it is that there are two versions of the film . the original tv american movie had the survivors knowing they were ghosts and haunting the survivor . the film was released in europe to the cinemas in 71 , and was re - edited so the crew did not know they were dead , thus changing the entire aspect of the film . love both versions and have a very grainy vhs copy of the bbc in about ' 82 , hope this helps paul
the audience and critics both seem to think that this is a decent film , so why the poor results ? one obvious answer is lord of the rings : return of the king which hogged most of the box office with almost $ 125 million in its first week . but with “something’s gotta give” pulling in $ 33 million in the same 2 week period as “stuck” the other problem that becomes obvious is marketing . i thought the ads for this film were just lame , and didn’t at all entice me to go out and see it despite the fact that i’m a damon and kinnear fan . it will be interesting to see how the film does over the next few weeks .
this turned out to be a surprisingly effective comedy . okay , sure , you can say that a movie that pokes fun at conjoined twins is in poor taste , but there ' s nothing malicious about it - - it feels , if you can believe it , genuine . you really get a sense of the tenderness and the bond that has developed between the two brothers . of course , as you ' d expect from the farrelly brothers , it ' s laugh - out - loud funny . as you might not expect , there ' s not really any gross - out humor : it ' s more
hal
than
mary
. if you can ' t tell , i was pleasantly surprised by this movie . some gag highlights : cher with her boyfriends , matt damon ' s stage fright , greg kinnear in a animal costume .
the film is a vehicle for miwa , a diminutive singer - songwriter whose only previous film appearance was in the 2015 drama “maestro ! ” miwa belts out her on - screen numbers with professional poise and impressive pipes , but as aoi she appears on the chirpy , peppy , wide - eyed side , something like a shōjo manga ( girls’ comic ) character brought to life . as the story deepens and darkens , though , miwa follows suit with a straight - ahead commitment .
to be honest , i have no illusions that you will read this letter . the reason why i will still make this attempt , is that i am upset , disappointed – well , in fact even afraid - of what you are about to do to a mainstay of our democratic society .
i think the film you ' re thinking of is
sole survivor
. the plane was an american bomber which crashed in the desert . the crew spend their days playing baseball , not realising they ' re dead , until many years later a recovery crew locates their bodies .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
sorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .
this film is not sole survivor . it was a black and white film . the crew did not know they were dead . it was only when each of them was discovered that it dawned on them and they disappeared . unfortunately there appear to be 3 films that have the same sort of plot . . . . . does anyone else remember this one ? ? ? ? ? ?
these days , his mother takes great pride in his success .
yes , she ' s fun . she watches my movies when they come on television and gets excited . quite childlike about it , actually .
and she stakes a claim in his talent not taken by the coppolas .
i never studied dance ,
he says ,
but if you look at wild at heart , my mother saw that movie and said , ' you are a dancer . look at how you ' re moving : all that strange energy is like modern dance . '
this thread is hilarious ! you can ' t tell some people can you ? so , it isn ' t sole survivor ( either version ) , king nine will not return , flight of the phoenix ( either version ) , so what the heck is it ? i am fascinated now . . . .

the movie is on imdb urltoken and does have william shatner , richard basehardt and vince edwards . . . . .
and :
the other big misconception , which needs to be cleared up in my opinion , is video on demand .
( his new movie , the frozen ground , has a limited cinema release and will be available on demand , which , given the demand for on demand , cage wishes critics would stop using as shorthand for failure . )
stuck on you
is the new movie by the farrelly brothers , who have earlier dealt with schizophrenics (
me , myself and irene
) , fat people (
shallow hal
) , a one - handed bowler (
kingpin
) , stupidity (
dumb and dumber
) and hair gel (
there ' s something about mary
) . their next film ,
the ringer ,
will be about an imposter who tries to crash the special olympics . the subjects of their comedies are defiantly non - p . c . , but their hearts are in the right place , and it ' s refreshing to see a movie that doesn ' t dissolve with embarrassment in the face of handicaps .
how curious to find i am only one member of a sect who was profoundly touched by seeing this film as a child in the 70s .
and then you have to be more accessible . today , if it is possible at all to get in touch with a facebook representative , the best one may hope for are brief , formalistic answers , with rigid references to universal rules and guidelines . if you take the liberty to challenge facebook’s rules , you will be met – as we have seen – with censorship . and if someone will protest against the censorship , he will be punished , as tom egeland was .
on the way to the hospital , when morty pulls up next to the moving car in his scooter , he is holding a cigar in his hand ; the smoke is blowing forward , not backward as it should on a moving vehicle .
it is hard to appreciate a narrative that can only skim the surface but then again emilia and sam ' s chemistry makes you buy into their cozy world .
everybody please stop trying to guess the movie if : you think it is in color or you think that william shatner is in it , because neither of those things is true . it is a black and white film , and the crew of the crashed plane don ' t ever stray very far from it , nor do i remember seeing any other characters aside from them . i also remember a harmonica being in the mix . it was a slow paced film from what i can recall . i ' m glad i ' m not alone in this , but sad we can not figure it out ! doug
i remember the film and have been trying to find the name of the film for years . i don ' t believe it to be sole survivor , the film was clearly a sixties or even fifties movie . the crew of the doomed plane crash landed in the desert , all the crew appeared to have survived the crash , trying to make the best of it and await for their rescue , when it arrives they are discovered dead in and around the wreckage , and then one by one disappear ; a bit like the film really . i would to see it again though .
a fair question , paul , and one i ' ve been expecting . this film has had quite an effect on those that have seen it , i think a quick glance above confirms that . the fact that the vast majority can ' t remember the title is curious , i grant you , but the reason i am 100 % sure is that i can remember watching the film and i can also remember the title . just because i can ( and those above can ' t ) doesn ' t make me wrong . in addition , two other independent subscribers are suggesting that catch 22 is correct . there is no doubt ! it would now be most helpful , if we could just find the film . . .
there are more than you’d think . damon’s resume includes not just major hits but also a mix of middling performers and flat - out misses . ahead of the july 29 release of damon’s much - awaited “jason bourne , ” the fifth film in the series , here’s a selective look at the actor’s career .

not an answer , just can ' t believe so many other people are trying to get hold of this film ! think i saw it in early 80s aged 11 or 12 . i ' m glad it ' s not just me it left a lasting impression on .
another voice here confirming that sole survivor is not the film that many of us are seeking . i ordered that and watched it this afternoon , and , good as it is , it isn ' t the film in which the characters gradually realise they are dead as their bodies are found . the two films are so similar , though , it ' s seems likely that they are based on the same root story .
an art - film inspired episode deals the winchesters and castiel a fatal blow with an enemy the likes of which they ' ve never before seen .
if you will not distinguish between child pornography and documentary photographs from a war , this will simply promote stupidity and fail to bring human beings closer to each other .
amazing that this film impacted so many of you as it did me ! i was 13 in 1979 when i saw this movie and fixated by films at the time . that year i carefully logged every film i saw , on what date , i even gave it its own critique . my late father kept this ' log ' of mine in his loft until he died last year . i never ever forgot that movie and have spent the last 30yrs asking friends , family video dvd stores etc etc if they know it ! i can however confirm with absolute truth that the film was called soul survivor and was made in 1970 shown on uk tv in 1979 . it was about the crew of a us ww11 airplane crashing into the desert and in short never realising they had died until the modern day ' rescue ' team arrive at the crash site . it was sad , intense , exciting , magical and for a 13yr old it left a memory of joy and sadness and a feeling of ' who knows ' . i loved it and wish i could see it again to see if it truly is a great film or if you have to 13 to be wowed by it !
right .
it ' s something i would love to be able to answer . but i ' ve been very neutral . by design . i know some people look down on my quietude , but i feel it would impact my ability to be an artist . if i wanted to make a movie about it one day , i don ' t want you to know what side i ' m on when you go to that movie . it ' s like i , claudius . i know this is random , but the whole reason claudius survived and went on to be emperor is because he was smart enough to keep quiet and to build his path . which is what i ' m doing .
it sounds like you ' re talking about
sole survivor
, which was made in the seventies . the ghosts are the crew of an american b - 17 , which crashed in the libyan desert during ww2 . the wreckage is found twenty - odd years later , and among the recovery party is a usaf general ( richard basehart ) who was the young navigator who got them lost , then bailed out on them . the ghosts recognise him , and spend the rest of the movie trying to haunt a confession out of him . not a great movie , but intriguing enough to have stuck in my mind this past thirty years .
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
it sounds very like a book by james herbert called survivor ( or the survivor ) - not sure if they ever made a film of it though .
tom brady makes a cameo as a film crew assistant . he is the one full of facial piercings laughing at cher ' s computer generated bubble butt .
incredible ! i ' ve been thinking about this film since i was a kid ( i ' m 35 now ) . i think i only caught the end of the movie and it left such an impression on me i vowed to watch the whole film one day . every now and then it would pop into my head and i would think i must try to find the name of it sometime . so , tonight finally i type in a long - shot search into google and stumble across this thread ! i can ' t believe it ! i so agree with many of you who thought this film was a figment of their imagination . what was it about this film that hooked us so much - i mean , i was a little girl , my main joy was my cindy dolls , ballet and ponies - why would a movie about war , airplanes & dead pilots leave such an impression ? ! anyway , after reading all your posts i ' ve just been on ebay and bought a copy of sole survivor . i dont know if it ' s going to be the one i remember , but i ' ll let you know when i ' ve received it and watched it - fingers crossed .
i believe the title has been absorbed by a remake at some time . this film has haunted me like many others . if you have seen
it
the whole movie is based on characters that do not know they are dead .
sole survivor
as i have just watched on youtube is most definitely not the movie i remember . i believe like many classic concepts it gets remade into obscurity . many people remember
sole survivor
but i know this is not the movie that has stayed with me over 30years . maybe one day we will all find peace .
