Lots of visitors had emailed me about how to take screen shots of movie scenes - you can use BSPLAYER, a free player in which pressing the key P or CTRL+P helps you make real time captures.

Congrats to Blogeswari for a scorching performance - the best score so far in this quiz series. Zero as always, was consistent with 7/10.

The next quiz will be up later this week!

Thanks to all of you who are making this quiz going.

1. The first answer is quite forced, I must say. (I mean, their films have won the National Awards alright, but that doesn't really bind them in particular.) But, I guessed it'd be so, which is why left it empty this time.
3. Well, well, for the 3rd, I think my answer too is as compelling as this!
7. Yes, that is the only film in which Visu sports a bald look! I remember the film so vividly, but had to google for the title.

@Zero,

Yes - I was compelled to give you points for your 3rd answer.

That was to say that the national awards hook was very apparent given their names, but I hardly thought of it as the connection!

Oh, my bad, didn't realize that my score was including the 3rd.

Karthik,

I was very busy for the last week and could not get to this fun quiz. Will definitely participate in the next one. Looked at the answers and may be I would've gotten 5/6 after thinking hard :)..

Great quiz.

# 3- Didnt pratap pothen do a guest role in Tillu mullu ? And yes, he directed MDM. So, that's a definite connecting link right?

Your answer for the Surya:Karthee ; Selva:Dhanush - ok valid
There are other connecting links too
a) A friend mentioned this - Fathers too belong to the film fraternity..he he he
b) One of them in the pair married to a (former??)leading actress / the younger one addresses a leading actress as "ANNI".. he he he
c)Both made their debut as actor/assistant director under the same banner. Surya under maniratnam as actor ;karthee under maniratnam as Assistant director . Selva under kasturi raja as assistant director ; Dhanush under kasturi raja as actor
