Tick! Tick! Tick! is a Tamil language film starring Kamal Haasan in the lead role of the protagonist.Commentng on the rather unexpected poor box office performance of this film, Bharathiraja commented " purigiRa nam mozhiyil padam eduppadhai vidap puriyaadha vERRu mozhiyil padam eduppadhu mEl!!! (It makes more sense to make a film in a language not understood by your people rather than making one in your own language understood by your people!!!!!). When asked to comment on this, arasu (of 'arasu badhilgaL' fame in Kumudam) quipped: "pEsugiRa Bharathirajavai vida pEsaadha BharathirajavE mEl"!! (A non- speaking Bharathiraja is (often) better than a speaking Bharathiraja!!).
