Yeah but that letter looked better as it was sung and Vaali would take sizeable credit for it.

My favourite is Saket's letter to Mythili

The language in it would reflect Saket's background and time period. The letter tables not only his love for Mythili and commitment to the cause but how (due to the promise to Abhyankar) he is even losing his aunt. And lastly it is open ended enough for his father-in-law to misinterpret it later

ப்ரிய மைதிலி,

கல்யாணம் ஆயிரம் காலத்துப் பயிர் என்றொரு வசனமுண்டு. பயிர் என்றாலே என்றேனும் அறுவடையும் உண்டு.

மைதிலி நீ நல்லவ, அழகானவ. நீ எனக்கு வாய்த்தது நான் செய்த புண்ணியம் என்றும், நான் உனக்கு வாய்த்தது நீ என்றோ செய்த பாவம் என்றும் கொள்வோம்.

என் செயலின் காரணம் கூடிய விரைவில் உனக்குப் புரியும். பாரத மாதாவுக்கு நான் செய்யப் போகும் சேவைக்கு சொந்த
பந்தஙள் இடையூறு ஆகலாம்.

உனது கருவில் வளரும் குழந்தை மேல், எனது துர்குணங்களின் நிழல் விழாமல் உன் குணப்பிரகாஷம் காப்பாற்றட்டும்.

என் தாயை நான் பார்ததில்லை வசந்தா அக்கா தான் எனக்குத் தாய், இப்போது நீயும்.

மாமா மாமி அனைவரின் சாபமும் எனக்கு உண்டென அறிவேன். அவற்றிலிருந்து மீளும் அறுகதையும் எண்ணமும் எனக்கு இல்லை.

அன்பிலா

There is no doubt that Hey Ram was a great movie and well written one. It is a disgrace that it did not fetch the best movie award for lot of fields..

Anyhow I feel the following was also a great piece of dialogue:

Kamal : Go back from where you came
Sharukh : Even your Ramchandra moorthy came through Khyber pass
Kamal : You dont talk about our Ram
Sharukh ; Ok, I will talk about my Ram. What happened to you Saketh Ram?

I did a shot of me weaving across the riot after all this. I did not have to act. I was in that state. People settled abroad, especially in Britain and America, they think that it is very boring, very old-fashioned, to harp back to Hindu-Muslim riots. But it has not gone away. They have to face it. Yes, they live a happy life. Sit in a café like this, but India does not. It is still happening there. We have pose and answer the question. It might be a miniscule question that goes unheard, but these questions have to be asked again and again and again

There is so much of talk about Gandhi, anti-Gandhi… If at all I have any person as a hero, its Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi. I deliberately do not say Mahatma. That is the only photograph that I have in my office

Quote:

It is not a film to do. I have lost a whole financial year making this film. But I am happy doing this once in while. Hey! Ram flopped, but I don't care. It was an arbitrary, tyrannical decision and the support that I have got has made it worth it. I want to do with cinema what Gandhi did politically

Quote:

I walk down the road and people want to kiss me. I’d never do all that to anyone. Not Mr. Bachchan or Mr. Rajnikant. The exception is Kamal. I asked him if I could touch him when I first met him. He has an amazing sense of using space. When he plays an old man his gait and the way he stands is enough to convey his age. He doesn’t need make-up. I find him greater than Dustin Hoffman and De Niro put together, I know Kamal can make you cry with a look in his eyes. I know his pauses. He has an amazing sense of timing that he knows the audience likes. He’s a technician par excellence. That kind of knowledge and control every actor should strive to get.

Konjam velavariya sollungo!

In the letter Saket says: பாரத மாதாவுக்கு நான் செய்யப் போகும் சேவைக்கு சொந்த பந்தஙள் இடையூறு ஆகலாம்.

Later he is surprisedly met by his Father-in-law Uppili Iyengar and Subash Goel on the day when there is an attempt on Gandhi's life. You must see the complete surprise on Saket nee Bhairav's face.

Uppili thinks by service to Mother India, Saket meant serving Gandhi and offers to introduce him to Gandhi through Goel. He, and his wife, are shown to be strong supporters of Gandhi (his tone when speaking to Gandhi later is of a humble acolyte unlike his daughter who claims on the plane to be objective in her admiration of Gandhi).

So much so that in a line of black humour he takes Saket into company when he wonders about the foiled atempt that day: "மஹாத்மாவைக் கொல்லணும்னு ஒரு க்ராதகனுக்குத் தோணிருக்கு".

This is important because (with the death of Abhyankar and Amjad) no-one except Saket knew about his intention to murder Gandhi.
It was a personal guilt that he took with himself. Somewhere down the line, we presume he shared it with Mythili and it went down to Saket (Jr) who tells us the story. But one can believe the Saket lived with a 'clean' reputation most of his life and the secret was a closely guarded one. Even the doctor is shown as Saket (Jr)'s friend making us confident that the story is not told to all and sundry.

Isn't it worse to be hailed a saintly Gandhian with an impeccable soul when you were anything but. The burden is comparable to the burden of Gandhi himself having to live with the Mahatma tag.

btw this is a "song" in the casette. I listened to it so many times that the tape is near dead now.

The letter is read along with the Sanyaasa Manthram (remember in the movie the letter and renunciation are shown together). Even the Sanyaasa Manthram: என்ன ஸ்பஷ்டமான உச்சரிப்பு - next only to M.S.

He is a good person, like a Bell which calls everyone to church

I saw the concerned scene in Hey Ram again today. Without any doubt it is a great scene and no director of substance today can take such a scene well fitting with that period, the language, the lighting....

When Munnabhai returned for a second instalment, I was dreading the day it would be re-made in Tamil. I had felt that Kamal was disinterested in the original version (Vasool Raja MBBS) and did it only for friendship and money. Now, the news is out. Though the same producers have bought the re-make rights for Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, Kamal will not be featuring in it (hopefully). The anti-climactic situation is that Rajni may star in it. Howzzat — Kamal in Part I and Rajni in Part II?

Another interesting aside is that Kamal is said to be planning his next movie with Saran, who directed Vasool Raja.

Subhash k Jha spoke about his association with the Actors in last friday Indiatimes bangalore edition,

GLAM & GLORY

Scorpios reign now...

Subhash K Jha

My association with cinema’s Scorpios has always been stormy. In many cases I’ve fallen out with them after sharing terrific vibes. Sushmita was an integral part of my life for a brief while. Then something gave way. When my father died her ‘sister’ sent me a condolence SMS. Now for Diwali her secretary sent me greetings. Happy Diwali to you too, Sushmita.
Tabu is a screen goddess But she thinks I am a ‘snake’. What happened? No clue! We did one interview where Tabu claims I revealed she was going to shave her head for Deepa Mehta’s Water. How did that make a difference?
Shah Rukh Khan,a Scorpio, is also upset with me. I’m not very sure for what reason . But he did tell me that sometimes, two good human beings don’t get along.
Kamal Haasan and I were the best of friends. We shared his bad times, of which he had no dearth. Until recently. I don’t know what went wrong. In this one instance I’d like to think it’s my fault. I didn’t stand by my dear friend when he needed me the most. I was chicken, I guess.
Only Aishwarya Rai remains a friend. I must say she’s a very atypical Scorpio. Balanced, non-controversial and genial, she never bitches about anyone, never hits back. Yes, the one Scorpio trait that she has is, she’s ruthlessly ambitious. The most typical Scorpio Raveena Tandon one of my dearest pals, is my rakhisister who calls only to grumble and abuse because I don’t call that often any longer. Even today, Raveena remains the same — untouched, outspoken, tomboyish, emotional and warm.

[tscii]I would love to direct Kamal – director Mishkin
- 28.10.2006

Among the young directors of today, one who gives hope is Mishkin. He has a couple of favorite actors. One is Kamal and the other is Amitabh Bachchan.

Among the young directors of today who are well aware of world cinema, Mishkin is one. His office is decorated with shelves full of books ranging from books of Sathyajit Ray to Russian writer Dostoevsky. He is especially a fan of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.

It is now the fashion to re-make old films like ‘Don’ and ‘Sholay.’ ‘Don’ has already been released. If asked to choose an old film to re-make, which film would he choose?

Without hesitation, Mishkin replied that it would be Akira Kurosawa’s ‘Seven Samurai’ that is about the samurai warriors of Japan. Villagers, who come to know about a plan by thieves to loot their property, appoint seven samurais well versed in war, for their protection. The story is about how the samurais with the help of the villagers, repulse the attack by the looters.

However long it takes, Mishkin’s aim is to direct a film like this. Who are the actors he would most like to work with? Kamal Hassan and Amitabh Bachchan.

We wish him all the best that his dreams come true!

I was watching Kollywood court in Jaya TV yesterday..Saran and Arya were in the show,talking about Vattaram...Saran confirmed that his next project would be with Kamal and that he'd be be producing and directing it...I know that the news has been doing the rounds for a long time,but i guess thats the first time Saran himself confirmed it..So there we go ...I am really surprised that Kamal is gonna do another masala movie..He's suddenly into hardcore box office mode for some reason..

yeah thats a thought...The only reason why he might be acting in outside productions(3 in a row) could be cuz he wants to make enough money to complete(or atleast restart) his dream project..

Kamal commends Saran!
- 02.11.2006
Kamal is an actor who is not afflicted by the syndrome of having to necessarily see films immediately on their release. He makes an exception of only those films of his close friends and directors. One such is director Saran's 'Vattaram.' After completing 'Dasavataram,' Kamal is to act in a film produced by Saran's Gemini Production and directed by Saran. So, a special screening of 'Vattaram' was arranged for Kamal.

Kamal was obviously pleased by what he saw, for he congratulated director Saran as well as hero Arya, especially the action scenes. He also gave advice not to take unnecessary risks. Arya is so pleased he's sharing this information with everyone he meets.

We asked Saran how 'Vattaram' is faring. Now that all the attention for films of big heroes has slowed ebbed, the true results for Vattaram's success can be gauged slowly. He is happy that the film is doing well in A, B and C centres.
Since Saran is the producer also for this film, his happiness is double fold!

Someone says,"IdhulErndhu enna theriyudhu"

From: Prabhu Ram on Sat Nov 4 19:46:56 2006. [Full View]

Watching films written by Kamal is a unique experience.After growing up watching the film one would discover an aesthetic element, an angle of storytelling that was completely hidden till one sudden viewing. Then on it is impossible to not see the movie without feeling that pattern.

In fact it could be so weak that one may not find anyone else who would agree with the interpretation.This happens to me on a regular basis with Kamal films. I can never be sure that the way I enjoyed it this time would be the same as it was last time or the next.

The things with Kamalwritten films is they are highly deliberate. A line of dialogue, a frame of screenspace exists because it was meant to exist that way. Which is what propels you to wrestle with questions about why someone said/did something on screen. And it is most often rewarding.

I have lost count of the number of times I have seen ThEvar Magan. Last week I saw it yet again. And there is something I felt which I felt like sharing in this thread.

All is well on the surface till Sakthi gets Esakki to break the lock of the temple. A temple that is everybody's and nobody's like the sky. But the heavenly quest ends in the gruseome disaster that sparks things off. Ramu and co respond to setting fire to the opponent's huts. The opponents reply by blowing up the reservoir and letting the water flood in and kill. When Sakthi gets the better of that challenge (with a highly visual image of being soaked in the wet earth) Mayan is disturbed. The lawyer's cunning idea is to get back through land. The scene ends with the lawyer's wink and Mayan's smile cutting to a shot that is on a hole in the reddish brown earth where the fence is being planted. The plan sees the end of Periya ThEvar.

The last faceoff does not end in a granary- as it could have very easily have been. But the fight is broken into two and a chase is inserted - even at the great risk of losing tempo which is why I feel very strongly about that the whole thing is highly deliberate. The chase takes Sakthi and Mayan into excessively windy open fields. The final encounter happens with veshtis fluttering wildly and Sakthi uses a minor God's weapon (which one may think of as the culmination of the cycle mishaps that began at a temple).

Note the wind may seem like a really weak link here. But there is more than one shot of it which makes my case slighly stronger.

1) When Esakki and Kanakku lead a gang to attack Chinna ThEvar's house, they rise from below in a frame. The crop in the foreground is seen to sway to wildly in the wind.

2) Similarly when someone passes the news of Mayan's hideout to his mother, the atmosphere is very windy in the backyard.

This whole attempt to see the story in the backdrop of an elements may seem nebulous but I put the reason why I put it forward is because of this:

In the discussion in Chinna ThEvars house, Chinna thEvar asks what is the course of action. The possibility giving them a taste of their own medicine by burning their huts in reply,is ruled out. The henchman appears silly by replying :" adhu mudiyaadhungayya, mazhai peyyudhulla, amaththippudum" to which Mayan replies with "neruppukku badhil thaNNi dhaanE".

On the surface this looks as if a gem of an idea germinating from the henchman's stupid remark. But I argue that it is more than that. It was a broad hint of how the elements are pitted against each other in the rest of the film.

Elements have always enjoyed a supernatural status. But in the film they are cast as spectators and sometimes as part of man's weapons against his fellows. This helps connect ThEvar Magan to Kamal's pet themes of atheism (or atleast the impossibility of celestial relief) which puts the onus squirely on individuals.

What do u say ?

That is a VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT Connection....The Points do make sense...but I still am Spectical about this, becuase it seems a bit fatfetched that kamal thought about this and put it out, a little vague...the wind might just be a Movie Tecnique to show a Powerful Scene. Pancha Bhoodhangal is always a tecnique to show powerful scenes which are meant to create an impact in the audience. Now is this the impact...hmm..Maybe, a little vague though.

I think that if Kamal had thought this out, he would've have mentioned this in one of his interviews.

Hell of a Link though Prabhu! It might be a coincidnece IMO, but I'm gonna go watch Devar Magan Tonight to witness the turn of events through your interpretation! Thanks!

Thats exactly what i was thinking as well..IF Kamal had deliberately induced such a link into the movie he may have mentioned it in some interview or the other..But again,I dont think he ever explained why he kept the shots of his wife's body changing into a gun in Hey Ram!/why he kept the scene where he stares into a a storm showing his well toned physique (again in Hey Ram!)..In fact there have been so many interpretations to some scenes in Hey Ram,and I dont think Kamal has given his reasons for them yet in any interview/write up..
So,Its quite possible that Kamal and/or the director may have actually planned out those sequences along the lines of Prabhu interpretaions..

"An Urban Legend - During the shoot one day the camera that was used for shooting Kamal in slo-mo gave some unexpected trouble. Singeetham was not happy. Kamal called Singeetham aside and said "I think I have a workaround, just go and ask for the take using the regular speed" and so did the director. The director shouted "action", camera was rolling in speed, and Kamal then did a slo-mo move - a perfect slow motion run while the camera was running at 24fps. The crew were ecstatic - the hero really saved the day! Rest of the scenes were shot using the speed cam when the glitch got fixed. Singeetham later dared his friends, while previews, to find out the shot in which Kamal did his "move". Of course, no one could."

Kamal Hassan : The Maestro speaks

http://www.desitrain.com/2006/08/14/kamal-hassan-the-maestro-speaks/

Quote:

The maestro speaks… and wow!!!

Kamal Hassan talks about making films on his own terms to Subhash K Jha @ Mumbai Mirror

Why have you been maintaining such a low profile?

I’m 50 now. I have suddenly realised how much time I’ve wasted. I should’ve planned my dream Maridunayagam more carefully. I need 40 more years as a filmmaker. Although it may seem so, I’m not a workaholic. I took one entire year (1990) off thinking I could afford it. I’m one of the few filmmakers in Chennai who takes every Sunday off.

You’ve been around for 30-odd years as a leading man. What changes do you notice in the film industry?

I’m still trying to execute those dreams that I had at 19. I agree that the Tamil industry is quite stagnant. But as long as I live to tell the story, I guess I’m going to do so.

Aren’t your films very expensive?

All the films I do for external productions are within the budget. When I did Hey Ram on my own, it cost as much as Shankar’s Hindustani, although it was a bi-lingual. When it comes to my films, the forthcoming film has to be better than the earlier ones.

Are your dreams getting bigger?

No. I don’t believe in daydreaming. But Maridunayagam remains one of my dreams. Now, I can get most of the finance in India, but only if my next few films do well. Luckily, portions where I’m supposed to look younger have all been shot so that my growing older in person would become a part of the narrative.

Is it becoming difficult for you to make films on your own terms?

It’s always difficult, whether on my own or on others’ terms. But I’ve no complaints. I’m a pampered technocrat. Filmmaking is not an isolated endeavour; it’s like fighting a war. You can lose any time. Your soldiers might fail you. Your courage might fail you.

Singing is an abiding passion for you, isn’t it?

I’ve sung about 50 songs for my films and majority of them are in Tamil. My father wanted me to become a singer, a classical vocalist. I learnt classical singing but not to the level he wanted. Due to my other pursuits, I couldn’t take up singing seriously. Now, my daughter Shruti is learning Hindustani classical music.

What do you feel about another Kamal Hassan coming up in the industry?

They’re already there, though they aren’t my direct offsprings. My replacement is probably smiling at me and calling me passe. I only hope I can groom him without jealousy (laughs). I remember commenting on my seniors’s performances. We’d look at MGR and Sivaji Ganesan films and wonder why they did some of the films that they did. Of course, we became eager chelas once we entered the industry.

Where are the replacements for you and Rajnikant?

Earlier, people used to say that no one could replace Sivaji Ganesan, and he would modestly say that his replacement would arrive. It took a long time for Sivaji saab to see a spark in me —he took me seriously as an actor after 17 years. I’m being realistic when I say a replacement will come. There are so many gifted new boys. And I’m eager to encourage them.

What do you enjoy the most—acting, producing, screenwriting or directing?

That depends on which of these capacities are required for, at any given time. I was a reluctant actor who was cajoled into acting. Now I enjoy it too much to give it up. There’s so much applause you get. But if my visiting card read ‘Kamal Hassan, Actor’ I’d be slightly perturbed.

When your ex- wife Sarika had a near-fatal fall you subconsciously recorded the incident for future reference?

That’s a common trait among actors. Though I can detach myself from tragedy, no one is immune to tears and fears. As an actor I’ve recorded a number of tragedies for reference. But this was one crisis where I kept the actor completely at bay. However, the child within me remained curious about the fall and wanted to know the technical details. That didn’t in any way, diminish my affection for my wife. But the truth is, I was seeing a bizarre screenplay in my mind. I went from shock to gloom within no time.

So you realised that audiences’ tastes couldn’t be trusted?

No, the same audience that accepted me in this film also wanted to know when I would do more films like Moondaram Pirai, Thevar Magan and Appu Raja.

What about your Hindi films after Ek Duuje Ke Liye?

Some were obvious failures. But they didn’t affect me. I did them out of friendship. My failure in Hindi cinema was more conspicuous because those Hindi films took longer to finish. If they were completed on schedule I would have done 50 films during the same time. I chose to stay away from Hindi films because I’ve a short life and there’s lots of work to be done. Some of my best friends took forever to make their films. Ramesh Sippy took two years to make Saagar.

You have a formidable acting reputation to back up your films in Mumbai.

I’m just a musafir (traveller) in Mumbai. I drop in once in a while and shake up the statusquo as I come and go. I’m not present in the market to generate faith in my standing. So when I do come with a film they say, “Ah phir aa gaya?!” But in Tamil Nadu it’s another story. Alabandhan is being looked upon as a huge event.

Is there a Dravidian prejudice in Mumbai, because Madhavan too is facing the same kind of stumbling block.

But Madhavan is facing a stumbling block in Chennai as well. If in Mumbai he’s seen as a Madrasi boy, then in Chennai he’s the Bombay guy. It’s unfortunate to enounter so many parochial attitudes. To a large extent, Tamil cinema is free of those biases.

Many of your fans feel that Mani Ratnam’s Nayakan is your best film till date.

It’s an important film. But even Mani Ratnam would say his best is still to come. Now when we’re thinking of working together again we’re scared whether we’d get an equally powerful script.

Was Nayakan designed as a desi Godfather?
Yes, both Mani Ratnam and I are great fans of Mario Puzo and Francis Coppola. All the same, we wanted to get away from the Hollywood stereotype and remake Nayakan into our environmnt.

Were you offered the Hindi remake of Nayakan?

No. Feroz Khan wanted to do it. That’s why he bought the rights. As for my opinion of the Hindi version, Mani Ratnam and I share the same opinion—they missed the point.

What do you think about the frenzied fusion of cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu?

It started with the DMK who wanted a propaganda tool. When C N Annadurai started the DMK party, it was not a contesting party. Annadurai was also a screenwriter. When he died, Karunanidhi was unanimously chosen as his undisputed successor. After 1967, Tamil Nadu hasn’t seen a single non-cinema Chief Minister. Even NT Rama Rao in Andhra Pradesh saw the close link between cinema and politics through MGR. NTR played almost every role in Telugu cinema that MGR played in Tamil and also had a religious aura to his personality.

Why have you and your guru Sivaji Ganesan shied away from politics?

I have. He hasn’t. He won several elections and even started his own party. He lost his focus on cinema for a while. How could I advise him against it? How can you tell the headmaster to run the school? We disciples humbly murmured our disapproval.

What do you think about Rajnikant as an actor?

When we were still in our 20s I had asked him why he was so stylised on screen. He said that’s the secret of his future success. I assured him that my style would also be a winner. He turned around to say, ‘Fair enough. You do your thing and I’ll do my own.’ Rajni is a phenomenon too. Both of us were young actors who started from scratch. We didn’t have fathers to make movies for us. But we had the same godfather K Balachander. It’s quite strange, but our paths as actors were always intertwined. We made our way up together.

Are you keen on doing a film with Rajnikant?

It depends. He said if we do a film together he wouldn’t direct it. It has to be either me or someone else. It would be interesting to do a film with him. At the Thenali silver jubilee function Rajni recalled an incident when he was riding pillion on my bike. When the bike skidded Rajni asked if I knew how to ride a bike! I assured him that even if I fell, I wouldn’t let him fall. I was so touched when Rajni said at the function, ‘That’s what happened in our careers. He never let me fall. In 1983, when I wanted to leave everything behind it was Kamal who cajoled me back to the material world.’ I guess we’ll do a film together. We’re worried about the expectations.

You’re accused of becoming increasingly self-indulgent in your films.

I was self-indulgent earlier. I am an actor who can do Bharat Natyam and Kuchipudi, skid on a motorbike and select films from different languages for a remake. Is that being self-indulgent? I don’t think so.

Anil Kapoor has done a large number of your Tamil films in Hindi.

Somewhere he must admire the way I conduct my career. Maybe he wanted to use some of my career tricks. But no re-make can be the same as the original. Even Moondram Pirai and Sadma aren’t the same though they were done with the same cast and crew. Just as Shakespeare’s Othello is played by so many actors why can’t two actors in India interpret the same character in two languages? I was offered the chance to do the Hindi remake of my Swathi Muthyam (which Anil Kapoor eventually did as Eeshwar) by Raj Kapoor. If I had taken the offer I’d have belonged to one of the most illustrious film families in India, just as I belong to Sivaji Saab’s family.

Where do you think our cinema stands globally?

It’s time for our films to move ahead of V Shantaram’s musical milieu. I may not succeed playing a vigilante. It’s not enough for a Mani Ratnam or a Kamal Hassan to change the status quo. We need more celluloid reformists. It happened in Karnataka through a government-sponsored scheme. Suddenly, I was very proud of a neighbouring state. I’d run to Karnataka just to be part of the cinematic revolution at a time when Tamil Nadu was making crappy commercial films. Just being in B V Karanth’s house was comforting. I feel the same movement can start in any part of the country. Why should we depend on Mumbai for it? I think our cinema has never grown up since Shantaramji’s days. But I’m trying.

Why this aversion to songs and music?

I’ve this Guru Dutt-like background. I used to be a dance composer. In four years, I must have choreographed about a hundred songs. As an actor I’ve done about 500 songs. To me songs make commercial sense, in the same way that whores make sense to someone in the prostitution business. As an actor, songs often seem stupid. I played a psychopath in the Tamil film Red Rose. Everyone expected me to go on stage and sing a pop number with girls. I told my director that a serial killer doesn’t sing. In our films everyone from a dentist to a follower of Vinobha Bhave sings and dances. I’m fed up of bringing music into every aspect of life on screen. We don’t need to mix genres. At the moment we’re cooking up a strange gypsy dish made up of leftovers and disposable food.

Do you feel music is a huge impediment to our cinema’s progress?

Yes. My greatest disappointment was when my hero Shyam Benegal succumbed to the song trap in Zubeidaa. See how the film industry is coercing some of our greatest filmmakers. When I first saw his work. I remember meeting him after Ankur and I asked him the name of his next film. He said, ‘We don’t have to name the film now since we don’t have to sell our songs.” I admired him for that. Now I can understand his desire to be market-friendly. We all have to change. He’s still my hero.

Your fans want your talent to be recognised in the West.

They should stop dreaming of an Oscar for me. Oscar isn’t the ultimate reward for an Indian actor. Hollywood doesn’t allow us to participate on an equal level; we can participate only as foreigners. It cannot be a world endorsement of cinematic excellence. It doesn’t even endorse American cinema fully. My dream project is to create a film festival like Cannes in Chennai where the top prize would be one million dollars. Then we’ll have Hollywood participating without reservation.

Do you think our cinema is finally being noticed abroad?

We need to take our cinema forward and free it from bigotry. I’m bored with what we’re doing. I’ve my own sensibilities as a filmmaker. I want to apply these to international standards. Hollywood comprises multi-cultural talent. Likewise, we need to wear our cultural badge and still look cosmopolitan.

There’s a lot of speculation about your personal life.

A broken marriage isn’t a crime. In Tamil Nadu, the press seems to respect my feelings. I’m a child of the Tamil industry. I’ve gone through grief. I repeat, give me my privacy. It’s my fundamental right.

Your problems have made you compassionate.

I always believe there’s no such thing as luck for those who deserve it. You’ve to work hard for it. I paid the price for wanting to be a director. I lost money but I gained critical fame. Now I wonder if the bargain was worth it. As a struggler, I dreamt of owning several cars, living in an air-conditioned home etc. I was paid Rs 15,000 per film and I was doing 10 films at the time. I wanted to cross the Rs 100,000 bracket and act in only one film at a time. Today I’ve many luxuries and liabilities including alimony. But my dream of making films hasn’t died.

When your ex- wife Sarika had a near-fatal fall you subconsciously recorded the incident for future reference?

That’s a common trait among actors. Though I can detach myself from tragedy, no one is immune to tears and fears. As an actor I’ve recorded a number of tragedies for reference. But this was one crisis where I kept the actor completely at bay. However, the child within me remained curious about the fall and wanted to know the technical details. That didn’t in any way, diminish my affection for my wife. But the truth is, I was seeing a bizarre screenplay in my mind. I went from shock to gloom within no time.

From: Ulaganayagan on Sun Nov 5 9:39:21 2006.

The question is if Kamal looks at personal challenges/tragedies like any other human being,or if he looks at even those with a artistic view,so that he could use it as a reference when needed in future works..So in this case of Sarika's fall,Kamal says he was interested in knowing what actually happened(technially,as he puts it) but at the same time,not.compromising on his care for her..

From: Roshan on Sun Nov 5 9:50:23 2006. [Full View]

Then when he learnt the "technical" aspects of it, his state of feeling had shifted from (initial) shock to depression and melancholy(gloom he says). May be the fall would have been quite a serious and painful one.

Are your dreams getting bigger?

No. I don’t believe in daydreaming. But Maridunayagam remains one of my dreams. Now, I can get most of the finance in India, but only if my next few films do well. Luckily, portions where I’m supposed to look younger have all been shot so that my growing older in person would become a part of the narrative.

This was the one of the interesting points...Kamal clearly states that he hopes to get finance only if his next few films do well..There lies the reason for his inclination to do movies for other productions companies and for doing only commercially viable movies(post Hey Ram!)[/b]

2. He pre-states that the to-be next kamal would make fun of his tattics principles, ect, in a way he safely says that - Incase if someone really comes and excels, he can point his, this guess - Avai adakkam

3. He has a idea how the world will see him, or how he likes to be, after 20 years, once he said that he may become like late S.S.Vasan,

4. Chances are more, in future that Filming can go fully digital so he tried that earlier, before anyone

many many happy returns of the day to Kamal Hassan...on Nov 7th...my advance wishes..

From: Prabhu Ram on Sun Nov 5 16:26:45 2006.

I think that if Kamal had thought this out, he would've have mentioned this in one of his interviews. Smile

No. I am also a avid watcher of Kamal's interviews. There are so many subtleties that scream out in Mahanadhi and Hey Ram that Kamal has never talked about. There are tonnes. Let me quote just one from my favourite Mahanadhi.

Krishna is roughed up by the jailer's guards, his remission is cut and Panchapakesan is released. An injured Krishna is in his cell and Panchapakesan comes to take leave advising him to be patient. Muthusamy thanks him for not lying under duress and recommends the same patience, albeit with a certain helplessness in his voice (not the self-righteousness of Panchapakesan). Then he hands Krishna a copy of Bharathiar kavithaigaL (a daft present to give when u r recommending patience !). In the whole scene Krishna is only groaning in pain, no words from him. Noone's face is seen, only outlines and silhouttes and the book is shining with reflecteed light (great work by the debutant cinematographer M.S.Prabhu).

The next shot is one of veenai lying in the dust (puzhuthiyil veenai - a direct reference to Bharati's immortal lines). The ostensible reason is Kaveri,Barani and the gradmother are being kicked out the house and it is their stuff on the road. But there has been virtually no indication whatsoever that anyone in the house plays the veena. Neither visually nor in dialogue. Which makes it absolutely clear that the shot of the veenai was consciously inserted to continue the tribute to Bharati.

I don't think Kamal has ever mentioned this in any of his interviews. It is actually not becoming of a poet to go about explaining himself. But sometimes his enthusiasm gets the better of him and he elaborates on his symbols (this often happens when he is chatting with people like Madan). But as a rule Kamal maintains an artistic reticence about why he did what he did. He would only gloss over it.

I am not saying that my argument is necessarily correct regarding the elements in thEvar Magan. That may just be my opinion. But I disagree with your conclusion that it is not the case, just because Kamal has not mentioned it.

PR,
very nice interpretation...in Virumaandi, when is Appaththa dies, somewhere he says something about panchaboothangal, "if you dont respect them in deu way, there will be a drought" "pancha boothangalai mathikkalainna panjam vanthudum".......something lkie that, i couldnt recall......well, with kamal penned movies, we can sit and do PhD

Enga appatha anju saami kumbuda sollikkuduthucchu.....
And he would have inserted a ribald joke showing the sign of cigarette when saying neruppu and pretending to fart when saying kaathu.

The well in Virumaandi would itself make a good thesis

From: Prabhu Ram on Sun Nov 5 18:43:16 2006.

Let me quote an anecdote. Apparently during Punnagai Mannan shoot there was one scne where Chaplin Chellappa was dancing from a high spot. Kamal slipped and fell and KB was really scared it may be bad when running to where he had fallen. Apparently Kamal's first reaction was: "cha camera runningle irundhurundhaa evvaLavu nalla shottA vandhurukkum sir !".

It is the scary artistic instinct that sees all life as but material for cinema. Sometimes it can be monstrous as it makes the artist devoid of feeling and enjoying the aesthetic appeal of even personal tragedies.

That is what the interviewer's question refers to. Kamal, in his reply, admits that it is true that he does consciously take mental note of personal tragedies for future refernce in his works, but this time his concern was greater than his curiosity.

what does this whole stuff mean ? Confused

The gift Kamal gave to Mallika Sherawat
Kamal has recently joined the wonder list of Mallika.

Mallika has acted in ‘Dasavataram.’ Even after returning to Bollywood, she could not get over Kamal. She has been eloquent in her praise for Kamal every time she opens her mouth.
Kamal’s punctuality attracted her the most. “Kamalji arrives half an hour before shooting, when ever it is scheduled. It was impossible for me to arrive even 5 minutes before him,” Mallika says with wide eyes.
She claims that acting with Kamal is an unforgettable experience in life. Kamal had gifted her with the DVD of the film ‘The Holy Grail.’ “The film that Kamalji gave is very interesting. It is full of comedy,” said Mallika. She had shown a high degree of glamour in ‘Dasavataram’ equal to those of her Bollywood films.

They are yet to shoot some scenes involving Kamal and Sherawat. Most likely they will be shot in America. K S Ravikumar is eager to release the film on the same day of ‘Sivaji’s release.
Hasn’t K S Ravikumar got out of his anger towards Jakkubai?

But I don't understand this Jakkubai....why should KSR be angry towards Jakkubai....

Vikram, its the first tamil movie to cross the budget of 1 crore.... You read about the box office report in sify and they keep using words like 'phenomenal', 'extra-ordinary', 'unprecedented' etc to describe a movie's opening at the BO... well Vikram was all of them combined...

it took a monster opening and was able to sustain it for 2 to 3 weeks after which it faltered under its own expectations ...

the box office result of Vikram was it did not flop... it collected tons of money for all concerned but did not meet up to the expectations of the public...

of course, thalaivar sold the movie at high rates all over South India and made tons of money

did you know that the story was serialized in kumudam even as the movie was being filmed... so everyone knew the whole story before hand..

in a lighter vein, the only reason i can think for why kamal had not mentioned about this in his interviews is, he has not yet read that post. i smell trouble. in fact, i smelled it even before typing this. couldnt resist still.

So far, 35 percent of the film has been completed, and with the US shoot nearly 70 percent of it will be over. Some interesting scenes between Kamal, Asin and Mallika Sherawat will also be shot during the LA schedule.

Himesh Reshamaiah has already recorded three of the six songs in the film. Himesh had come down to Chennai and had a session with Kamal and Ravi Kumar before finalizing the songs.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value and that is Kamal

If elegance, panache, perfection, and inimitability have to be composed in a single word, the first choice would be Kamal. The legend that rules the Indian cinema for four decades has turned another year older today. It is Kamal’s birthday and time for every movie fan to take a look back at his breathtaking career which everyone in the tinsel town would yearn for.

The multi-faceted, multi-linguistic, and multi-tasking Kamal started his journey as a child artiste with Kalathur Kannamma and his famous song ‘Ammavum Neeye’ in the movie has become immortal. Kamal is one actor – the only - in the industry to experiment time and again and enlighten the industry with his evolution as an actor and the latest technical know-how in movie making.
Dr.Kamal

He is every budding actor’s godfather and actors sans his influence are almost not available in the industry. His display case is spilling over with the numerous awards and Kamal has to turn down the Filmfare awards nobly to pave way for others to be able to get hold of the same. This happened with other awards as well, which exemplifies that he is bored with the amazing number of awards he has received for his prowess.

There seems to be nothing that can’t be accomplished by Kamal onscreen. His numerous roles including that of the dwarf ‘Appu’ and ‘Avvai Shanmughi’ stand proof for this. Nobody has any clue as to how Kamal performed the character of the dwarf Appu with all ease in his Apoorva Sahodarargal.

Fans club and Politics
Kamal is the only person in the industry to embrace a clear stand when it comes to politics. He confessed that he has no talents to be a politician and that he will never join a political party. Nevertheless, Kamal’s multitude of fans is purely derived out of his acting prowess.

Upon noticing his fans turning himself into a living god abandoning the jobs that support their livelihood, Kamal took a bold decision – unseen in Indian movie scene – to transform his fan clubs into welfare associations. Under his effective leadership, his resourceful associations carry out social welfare activities and conduct social awareness every now and then.

Dr.Kamal
Kamal – the darling of Bollywood and elsewhere
In Bollywood, where the South is been looked down at, only Kamal has the ability to make the bigwigs yearn to be cast in his movies. He is being adored in the Hindi movie scene just the way in Tamil. Besides, he has his unique fan following in regional languages such as Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu as well. His unbeatable flair for those regional languages made the fans recognize him as the son of their soil.
Dr.Kamal

Navarasas come with ease
Kamal never seemed to have worried about the outcome of his movies at the box-office. He does not stop experimenting either. Be it a comedy or a serious role, Kamal can don the role with ease. His flair for comedy is a matter of envy for most other stars in the industry. The best of his comic talent can be seen in Michael Madana Kama Rajan.

While his recently released Vettaiyadu Vilayadu is received with mixed results, the movie rewrote the box office history in ‘A’ centers. The Kamal magic worked again. With his upcoming Dasavatharam portraying him in 10 different roles, Kamal’s talent will be at its best.

Kamal – the legend
Words lack when it comes to praise Kamal and the ‘miles to go before I sleep’ attitude of Kamal will keep him going while earning all the accolades. Let us hope we will get to see more of the different types of the monster talent named Kamal in the years to come.

If there is a better way to Kamal and his screen presence, please read through this song from Vasoolraja MBBS…

Kamala Hasan turns 52 | Wish him at ibnlive.com
Posted Tuesday , November 07, 2006 at 10:04
Updated Tuesday , November 07, 2006 at 12:55

ALL-ROUNDER: A versatile actor, Hasan has also tried his hand at directing, producing and scripting.

New Delhi: Highly-acclaimed actor Kamala Hasan celebrates his 52nd birthday on Tuesday.

In a career spanning four decades, Hasan is known in the film industry for his versatility - he has capably played a diversity of characters in his films.

He has appeared in movies made in six languages: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi and Bengali.

A trained playback singer, he has penned lyrics for the soundtracks of some of his recent films.

Hasan has also performed Bharatanatyam and had assisted in choreography in films early in his career.

Hasan made his screen debut in a Tamil film, Kalathur Kannamma, at the age of six, which won him the first National Award for Best Child Artist.

Subsequently, he starred as a child actor in movies that featured legends like MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and Gemini Ganesh.

It was with 16 Vayathinile, in which he acted with actress Sridevi, that established him as a popular teen idol at the age of 23.

Together, they featured in 23 films as a popular acting pair. The following year, he got his break with K Balachander's Telugu hit Maro Charithra.

Hasan dabbled with directing for the first time when director T N Baalu passed away during the filming of Sankarlal in 1981.

Hasan reached the peak of his career in 1979 with multiple classics which coincided with the decline of MGR/Sivaji era in movies.

He tried his hand at directing for the second time with the Hindi film Chachi 420 in 1997. Apart from acting, Hasan has also attempted scripting, screenplay and special effects.

Hasan is a three-time winner of the National Film Award for Best Actor for the films Nayagan, Moondram Pirai, and Indian. He also won the National Award for Best Child Actor for his performance in Kalathoor Kannamma.

He has also received the best actor award at the Asian Film festivals held in 1983 and 1985 for Saagara Sangamam and Swathi Muthyam respectively.

Six of his movies have been sent as India's official entry to the Oscars. Hasan has won the Filmfare awards 18 times.

He was awarded the fourth highest recognition given to Indian civilians - the Padmashri in 1990.

He was conferred an honorary doctorate by Sathyabama Deemed University, Chennai in 2005.

The whole sequence of saving Mani, Kamal displays an unbelievable range of emotions. Anger,helplessness, stealth, imploring Gemini and the doctor and finally talking to Mani.

Bhimsingh should also be definitely lauded for bringing out so much out of the child.

Kallathur kannama - AVM , A.Bhim singh introduced the Master the child who was born to be an actor

Yet to see a child artist performing with such ease and great voice modulation.
Mani naan nadichadhai nee paarkalaiyE ellArum romba pramaadhamnaanga.
The whole sequence of saving Mani, Kamal displays an unbelievable range of emotions. Anger,helplessness, stealth, imploring Gemini and the doctor and finally talking to Mani.

Bhimsingh should also be definitely lauded for bringing out so much out of the child.

Thanks a lot tfmlover. Do you also happen to have Anandajothi ?

yes i have Prabhu Ram
wide selection of his movies
nilavu ! yes he won best child artist national award for that one
first one to get .

Hello to all kamal fans and a belated birthday wishes to the greatest actor in India.

They can remake Don, Billa, Muratu Kalai... but can they remake Moondram Pirai ?

I have a doubt if they can ever remake NAYAGAN....its almost impossible... what a classic that was

Nayagan was remade as Dayavan in Hindi with Vinod Khanna in the lead......since Nayagan is my all time fav movie, i havent watched Dayavan at all till date..... Very Happy

Maddy Dayavan Vinod Khanna couldnt give a stellar performance and the direction was not upto the mark.

Nayagan if im right ran for 400 days and won a national award for Kamal and was also an OSCAR entry from India

I bet no one can recreate the magic... an example is the 1970s classic THE OMEN. The original rocks but if you watch the new one THE OMEN 2006 technically its superior but its horrible when it comes to camera and screenplay.

Nayagan also was there in the best 100 all time movies given by TIMES MAGAZINE :

http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/0,23220,nayakan,00.html

Some classics remain as such... Nayagan is one such

NARPANI

We are happy to announce here that we have successfully performed a Welfare Event as part of Thalaivar's birthday celebration. The event was the donation of

* Computer
* UPS
* Printer
* Original Software (Windows XP, MS Office 2003)
* Computer Table and Chair

to the Tamil Medium School (Thaai Tamizh Thodakka Palli) run by Lyricist Thamarai and her husband Thyagu at Ambattur in Chennai. We also gave box of sweets and snacks to all the students, administrators and parents who had attended the event.

The school is being run with limited financial and physical resources and so we decided that, as fans of Thalaivar, we should pitch in to help them achieve their dream of propogating 'tamizh vazhi kalvi'. What better occasion than the birthday of Tamizh Thirai Kadavul to organize such an event?Currently, the school has student strength of 150 and we hope that more parents see the light of the day and provide their children with Thaai Mozhi Kalvi at the primary level.

The event was organized on behalf of Orkut Dr. Kamal Haasan Community, Connemara Unit Kamal Haasan Narpani Iyakkam and UniversalHeroKamal.com with support from the Paradise Unit of Kamal fans. The contributions were made by some of the members belonging to the above associations. The total cost of the event came to around Rs. 40,000 and we are proud to inform you all that 95% of that money went towards the items donated with only less than 5% going towards other expenses like logistics, organization etc.

Needless to say, the school authorities were extremely happy with our activity and they responded in a telling manner by making the event a grand success with cultural programs by their school students.

We are currently in discussions with the school administrators on giving them a helping hand on some of their other requirements. We sincerely hope that more members of the Orkut Dr. Kamal Haasan Fans community will come forward to participate and contribute in future welfare activities. If we can achieve such success with limited participation, imagine what we can do if more of us come together... the mind boggles...

If you are interested in participating or contributing to such welfare events, kindly get in touch with Rajkumar (crajkumar_be@yahoo.com), Karthikeyan (kr.karthikeyan@yahoo.co.in) and Vignesh (aalavandhan2k1@hotmail.com) to register your name and contact information.

This event was covered by Indiaglitz.com, Behindwoods.com and Dinakaran newspaper and we should soon see the event photos, videos and articles on their websites.

Meanwhile, kindly visit www.universalherokamal.com to enjoy some pictures of the event at http://www.universalherokamal.com/UniversalHeroKamal/Birthday/2006/ShowBirthday2006.aspx?Birthday=Welfare#

Kamal’s fans association celebrates his birthday in their own style

Nov 11, 2006

Kamal maintained a very low profile on his 52nd Shocked

Quote:

Birthday on November 7th. Every year on his birthday Kamal would meet the fans at his Alwarpet residence and would announce his new ventures.

But these things did not happen this year. The reason was the busy shooting schedule of Dasavatharam. But there were no shortage of enthusiasm from his fans who celebrated his Birthday in their own usual style by donating blood and pledging their eyes. It is a known fact that Kamal had changed all his rasigar mandrams to narpani mandrams.

Two such mandram under the name Connemara unit Kamalhassan narpani eiyakkam and Orkut Dr.Kamalhassan community visited the Thai Thamizh primary school located at Ambattur and donated computers with the original softwares.

They said that this act is actually a token of love to their hero who practices what he preaches. Hats off to these mandrams. Thai Thamizh School is run by famous lyrist Thamarai.

Kamal sings a Remix song for karthikraja
http://tamil.cinesouth.com/masala/hotnews/new/14112006-5.shtml
From: Prabhu Ram on Wed Nov 15 23:53:54 2006. [Full View]

Whenever I watch Hey Ram SRK's Tamil sticks out like a sore thumb.
The initial scene in the club in Karachi where SRK and Saurabh Shukla joke around the Tamil is patchy, not doing justice to the very authentic friendly banter written by Kamal.

But all the while, Atul Kulkarni speaks with perfect emotion (not necessarily perfect pronunciation) but you will never, for once doubt that Kulkarni doesn't understand the words he speaks.

Okay, Abhyankar was from Thanjavur and these Amjad's Tamil exposure is, presumably, restricted to his college days. But even accounting for that SRK could have done better.

But in the last half an hour, SRK's expressions (with Kamal's lines) more than redeem him. Doubtlessly his best performance - not the overrated Darr

Btw is that Vasudara Das in the last scene ? With all the make-up for the old woman and no close ups its impossible to tell. It is definitely not her voice. Vasundara's Tamil sounded very studied and bubbly and in the last scene the voice is well aged (sounds a bit like how Hema Malini sounds in the movie). And considering the movie had only live sound I really doubt if it was her. Anyone who managed to have a close enough look to say ?

I really don't understand what Hema Malini's problem. Everytime she talks about Hey Ram she talks as if she was given a raw deal. What did she want a song and long weep scene ? She was given a neat role and she did pretty well in that overshadowing even Girish Karnad.

A_A any idea who the old lady who plays Saket's aunt (Vasantha akka) in the film. She did a great job. Wonder where Kamal picks these one film wonders !

i heard this before too..
1st movie to bring huge sinhala fans to tamil movies...
in colombo , in same theatre for 2 years i read

Nagamani Mahadevan is ther name of the lady who played Saket's aunt Vasantha , but details of her acting history remain a mystery. My guess is that she may have had stage experience. Kamal has a knack of utilising talented stage actors (Pasupathy, Nasser, etc)

And yes, I've heard that Hema Malini complains to anyone willing to listen that she was treated like a 'junior artist' during the filming of Hey Ram. Was she expecting to play Vasundra Das' character?? She had a plum role- Saket Ram's level headed mother-in-law who pretty much held the family together. I thought she did a great job; but obviously she wanted to do a duet in Switzerland. Whatever.

It was Hema Malini Smile

PS: I finally managed to watch VV (PR, thanks for whetting my appetite with the youtube sequences). I managed to get my hands on a DVD version (although I wasn't too impressed with the quality). I'm letting the experience marinate before I give my take on this film.

It may be commando Kamal next
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 23, 2006]

Kamal Haasan seems to have a hectic schedule ahead of him.

The man who is now shooting for Dasavatharam may choose the military fatigues for his next movie.

Major Ravi, who made Aran recently, is planning to make Aran Part-III.

Now, if you are wondering about what happened to Aran Part-II, well, Ravi has already got down on the work for it.

Aran, which was simultaneously released in Kerala as Keerthi Chakra, will have Mohanlal playing the lead in the second part too.

Mohanlal himself would produce the movie and it would have an aeroplane hijack incident as its backdrop.

After this, Major Ravi will make the Aran Part-III in 2008 and it would be simultaneously made in Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi and Telugu.

The film is expected to feature Kamal, Mohanlal, Vivek Oberoi and a leading Telugu actor.

Major Ravi and Kamal had earlier worked together in Kamal's Alavandhan (Ravi was consulted on the scenes involving the army).

Kamal had also provided the introduction for Aran.

http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/27137.html

If this is true, Its ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Kamal and Mohanlal in the same movie is just a connoisseur's delight, even if the storyline is non existent
I sure hope this happens

whie people wonder on the sudden tamil titles given to the movies, somehow i get reminded to list of almost all of the kamal films' titles representing old movies\songs\literature\characters

here is the list
vettaiyaadu vilayaadu - old song's starting
dasaavathaaram \ sathileelaavathi - re-use old title
maruthanaayagam \ virumaandi - known character name in some maurai based story

From: alwarpet_andavan on Fri Nov 24 7:38:55 2006.

whie people wonder on the sudden tamil titles given to the movies, somehow i get reminded to list of almost all of the kamal films' titles representing old movies\songs\literature\characters

here is the list
vettaiyaadu vilayaadu - old song's starting
dasaavathaaram \ sathileelaavathi - re-use old title
maruthanaayagam \ virumaandi - known character name in some maurai based story
avvai shanmugi - pammal k sambantham - his mentor's name
panchathanthiram\tenali\nala damayanthi - names of old tamil tales
hey raam - famous quote by Mahatma and many Hindus
anbe sivam - from a old tamil literature - forgot name...maybe joe would know that!
kuruthippunal - name of a tamil novel

Tenali - AP dhaane??

Panchathanthiram etc.. may be Sanskrit derivatives but like hubber Kalai Vignani PR had said in some thread, if we decide to go by etimology of words, how far do we go back?? Many so-called Thamizh words would cease to exist.

Also, while Sivaji may not be a Thamizh 'word' how the hell is one supposed to make it into Thamizh??? It's a proper noun!
The whole Thamizh film name racket reeks of Talibanism and Dogma....

I wish both KSR/Oscar and Shankar/AVM have their way....

P.S: I also wish both the names are judged by the same rules, especially given the fact that Aandavar generally gets a raw deal when it comes to the media, censor board etc...

the comedy part of it is, even if the superstars continue with the same namest, sun tv will happily try to grab those movies and would proudly telecast it after 2 years....

on one hand the dmk brings in lacks and laks of loss to TN Govet, in the name of pure tamil, on the other side suntv discards all these rules and grows its business

bala, yes, tenali is AP only, and in that case even Chanakyan too is a telugu name....anyway my point is that kamal has brought in lot of literature into tamil cinema, and also has given due respect to lot of tamil literature\literary persons by those titles

after listing 'kalavai songs' of aandavar, i would like all osf us to list the literary links of aandavar in tamil movies, in a broader sense...i would start...

1. Guna had abiraami anthaathi song
2. devar magan has thevaaram song "maasaru ponne varuga"
3. virumaandi is a inspiration from a tamil work by thol.paramasivan

if my point to list is not clear, u ppl can refine it and continue, but lets completely cover this topic

We can discuss at length about Kamal's titles. Each one would generate an elaborate discussion because they so beutifully intertwined with the film. They usually have various interpretations and almost never just what they seem. When ThEvar Magan was followed by Chinna Gounder, Periya Gounder Ponnu (ironically starring Gouthami) it was a perfect case of people missing the point entirely.

I am still not convinced about the title Mahanadhi. My friends and I have argued about the interpretation. Hey Ram is a great title befitting the film. In fact there was an article in the Hindu long back about the title and how Kamal had used the words, and even the concept of Rama at various points in the movie.

SV wrote:

bala, yes, tenali is AP only

The story goes thus. Apparently Anbe Sivam was planned long ago and it was intially the lead duo were supposed to be travelling from Tenali in AP to Madras. Now Tenali also makes sense in the AS story because Nalla is kind of a wise clown.Then the project was shelved and the title was used. In the movie Tenali, the name does stand out as odd actually. Later Kamal moved the story to Bhubhaneshwar as it was more topical with the recent cyclones etc and renamed in Anbe Sivam which was even more apt considering the themes and names etc.

When a movie speaks about the culture of a community ,It includes it's pride ,cunningness ,internal problems ,plus ,minus all ..I think Devar Magan dealt with all aspects.

Couldn't disagree more.

Except for Gowthami and Madan Bob no-one else from any other community is shown on screen.

The ThEvar community is shown as one that still lives in regressive times, hell bent upon settling scores and physical supremacy. This is underlined in several places in the film:

இந்த காட்டுமிராண்டிப்பய கூட்டத்துல ங்கொப்பனும் ஒருத்தந்தேங்கிறத மறந்திடாத

அடிக்கு அடி கொடுக்கலைன்னா அப்புறம் என்னய்யா தேவன் !

And, IMO, the most controversial:
தேவனா இருக்கிறது முக்கியமா ? மனுஷனா இருக்கிறது முக்கியமா ?

One place where it is even explicitly highlighted that tha warring factions belong to the same caste is when Easkki tells Sakthi that the one who attacked him was a relative:

எல்லாம் சொந்தக்கார பயதேன். அன்னிக்கு கம்புச்சண்டைல வம்புக்கிழுத்தாய்ங்கல்ல, அதுல ஒருத்தன். வவுத்தெரிச்ச புடிச்ச ****** மயங்க......கை மட்டும் சரியாகட்டும்யா , அப்புறம் என்ன நடக்குதுன்னு பாருங்க

The focus of the movie is not about inter-caste class but rather about messed up priorities and regressive lifestyle caused by misplaced notions of caste-pride.

smith wrote:

By the way, what is the sig. of the title?
The title, as I see it, addresses the direct question: Is a ThEvar's son a thEvar ? To put it more generally: Can we run away from our roots and responsibilities?.

Sakthi is not the eldest, so he does not have a natural claim on his father's position. Neither does he desire it and is all ready to leave at the earliest. In fact he doesn't even understand his father and thinks of him as a villager to who caste and money are priorities (shown in the way he tries to Banu's family to Periya ThEvar).

In the famous scene between Periya thEvar and Sakthi, the former makes clear his expectations from Sakthi:

உங்களத்தானே நம்பணும். வேற யார் இருக்கா இங்க நம்புறதுக்கு ?

Despite the emotion Sakthi remains unmoved from his stance of 'starting afresh' without carrying the yoke of several generations on his neck.

In the Panchayat scene Chinnasaamy ThEvar pokes him saying
உன் மகன் தான் தெலுங்கச்சிய கட்டிக்குவானே, நாளைக்கு நான் தேவன் இல்லைன்னு அவன் வாக்கு மாறிட்டா ?

Tempers rise and we see him bursting in anger (despite all his Western influences). But this not the first time we see him vulnerable to verbal taunts ( a very typically misplaced yardstick of bravery). We saw him getting reactionary even earlier in the kambu-sandai sequence.

So when later in the movie Sakthi progresses to don the role of the Godfather we are led to believe that it is a 'change'. A change from his western self to a rustic lord. Or is it just a positive change of a man who is moving to his natural disposition, much as he would like to blame the circumstances (சக்திக்குள்ள் இப்பிடி ஒரு கிராமத்தான் இருக்கிறது எனக்கு இன்னிக்கு வரைக்கும் தெரியாது)

The movie leaves us with more questions than it solves about likes, purpose, responsibilities. What is the role of external influences like education and exposure? To they add to our personalities or do they make us more aware of our shortcomings (post fruit-eating Adam) and thus move us away from our natural selves.

பானு:என்னை காதலிக்கிற, இந்த பொண்ணை கல்யாணம் பண்ணிக்கிர.உண்மயிலே நீ யாரைக் காதலிக்கிற ? உன்னையேவா ?
சக்தி:இந்த சின்னத் தூவலூரை

Don't most of us wish we had a 'cause' like that we could wholeheartedly commit to ?

Will Kamal join hands with Bala?

Nov 27, 2006

Though his Naan Kadavul is in troubled waters, Bala seems to be up and running with his out of the ordinary scripts. He has recently caught up with Kamal before Kamal traveled to the US for the shoots of Dasavatharam. Guess what? Bala seems to have impressed Kamal with his new script. It is reported that Kamal is overwhelmed by the script and listened to the narration patiently which went on for a couple of hours.

Though Kamal did not utter consent to give a go ahead for the script, the chances of Bala joining hands with Kamal are quite promising, if rumors are anything to go by.

If the project materializes that would be after the completion of Naan Kadavul, we concur. With Thenappan enduring a financial crisis, Naan Kadavul’s future is bleak at the moment and it would not be surprising if Bala decided to abandon the movie.

Though, these are only unconfirmed reports, only an official announcement from Bala’s stable will clear the air in this matter.

Kamal said it was a conscious attempt to cast people in their roots.

He wanted to cast the Marathi actor Mohan Gokhale for the role of Abhyankar. When Mohan Gokhale passed away he was replaced by another Marathi actor Atul Kulkarni (who went on to win the National Award). The Maharaja is played by the vetreanMarathi actor Vikram Gokhale. Rani Mukherjee is too obvious to mention.

Saket's later household is played by Kamal's nephew (as Saket Jr) and Chandrahassan 9as Saket's son). In the Iyengar household he was meticulous enough to cast Hema Malini, V.S.Raghavan and even Y.G.Mahendra in a small role !Even the tailor Amjad is played by Shadab Khan (son of the actor Amjad Khan). The riot control inspector Ibrahim is played by Nasser and Dr.Munav is played by Abbas.

The three principal friends in the movie, quite curiously are minorities. The Pathan in Delhi, the Hindu sindhi in Karachi and the Iyengar in Tamil Nadu. This was also a very subtle but strong choice that raises complicated questions on the extent to which the individual can validly claim to subscribe to representative. The idea is brought out in the conversation between Saket and Amjad in Chandini chowk. Most notably in Amjad's line: "உன் ஜாதிக்கு ப்ரதிநிதியா வந்திருக்கியா ?"

I don't know, how many of you would have noticed kamal in AS with one long foot and one short foot.

He actually reveals it in a scene, when he is along with maddy. His make up was awesome(stutches in faces, scars,broken tooth,short leg) etc..

AS carried a heavy message in a lighter flatform. That's the reason it has failed in BO. However, it's a very nice movie talking about communism,hinduism and what not" Manitha Neyam" at the end. He should have gotten it for Anbe sivem.

It's my opinion though, as we all know opinion differs with every individual.

Yeah. Kamal keeps drawing attention to it in the dialogues that u sometimes feel he feels like crying out to notice.

When u see the shorter leg, with the twist in the toe when Kamal lies down (not forgetting once the click his neck) it makes up for everything else.

AnbE Sivam is not one of my favourite Kamal films. I feel it doesn't have the subtle touch of his early-mid 90s films (not to mention Hey Ram). Nearly everything with the flashback was wrong: the moustache twisting fight, stupid long scene with Madan & Co. , the cliched-as-hell mudhaLAli , the even more cliched rich-girl romance and love song (with flute and kambu sandai thrown in ).

Needless to say it was the best film that year and all that but the movie was more about Kamal-the-actor than Kamal-the-filmmaker. I am bigger fan of the latter.

Other than that, I dont think that such a gory make-up was needed to preach love.

Also I did not find his performance very touching either. In fact maddy was amazing especially in that train accident scene and the scenes after that till the very end

Also I did not find his performance very touching either. In fact maddy was amazing especially in that train accident scene and the scenes after that till the very end Cool

I feel that the make up was for 2 reasons

1) the initial combination scenes between Kamal and Maddy where Maddy looks down on Kamal cuz of his bad looks and weird manner..(For ex. the scene where Maddy shows surprise that even Kamal had a love life, and the scene where he comments that 'every dog has its day' etc). Infact the primary reason why Maddy tries to get away from Kamal could be attributed to his looks and the associated mannerisms.

2)obviously the sympathy factor. Hero is shown as a handsome macho guy in the first half. His transition to a grotesque handicapped guy was probably aimed at evoking some extra sympathy.

The film may not have the impact if Kamal was just a normal guy or somebody with a slight handicap, I feel that the entire Kamal- maddy combo rested on Kamal's incapacities & grotesque makeup

Not only that..

In Devar Magan, everyone had great roles and great performance

Even for a comedy actress like Kovai Sarala, a heroine role

None other than Kamal will be having such guts in the current moment.

In PKS Abbas too had a notable role.

In Mahanathi Poornam Viswanathan.

In Virumaandi Pasupathy, Abirami and that Jailor..

In Thenali Jayaram..

In his own production house 3 movies with different actors.

1. Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupaadu
2. Magalir Mattum
3. Nala Damayanthi..

He is the one puposely give importance to old people like Nagesh,Kakka radharishnan,Lashmi patti (mahanathi,MMKR).

Sometimes I even forget that NT acted in Padayappa..Nobody can complain that NT is not given big role.Since It is Rajini's father role ,Rajini could have preferred NT to act..That is OK.

In Kuruthipunal .Arjun character is very important one .Kamal could have thought another action heo will suit for that and pproached him ..Arjun is a big Kamal fan ,so he happily accepted.

Vetrivizha and Chandramuki both are Sivaji productions ..So no body can say Prabhu is purposely ignored.

Kuruthipunal was a remake of drohi. In that film, nasseruddin shah's role was a running one with om puri who was the hero.

But we all know how many scenes arjun had in kuruthipunal. Kamal even apologised on the opening show that he had forgotten to add "guest appearance" to arjun's name in the titles.

As for prabhu's role in vetri vizha, it was reduced to that of an extra. No prizes for guessing who did that.

A year or so back there was a movie directed by Kamal's assistant. the name of the movie was Ayul REgai. No idea what happened, but the promos looked pretty ordinary.

2. we hear quite some guys,mostly software or management 'pisthus' leave theis work and come to mani's office, willing to work with him as assistant...why not the scase for kamal?

Because Kamal does not direct all the time. Imagine an assistant director being jobless for the last 3 years, after Virumaandi and -okay who am I kidding- Mumbai Xpress. Am sure the queue is big now and will be bigger if he becomes a full time writer director soon - which I hope is as soon as possible. My opinion about VV is kosu adikka beerangi.

I really don't buy I need the money argument anymore. The last time he lost money was Hey Ram 2000.

In the last 6 years:
9 outside films as an actor
3 home productions: Virumaandi whcih was profitable, Nala Damayanthi and MX where he didn't lose money.

Another Saran film

He better have a good reason and hope the reason is Marudhanayakam

As for prabhu's role in vetri vizha, it was reduced to that of an extra. No prizes for guessing who did that.

Vetri Vizha was originally not meant to be a double hero subject at all. Kamal had already signed up to do the movie for Sivaji films when Prathap was adapting Bourne Identity into Vetri Vizha.It was felt that the second half could use a little more relief as the movie on the whole was pretty tense (no comedy track etc.). Prabhu-Khushboo and the music troupe with their song, comedy (!) will look so obviously thrust in, in the film making it even sag a bit.

Prabhu apparently requested Prathap that he wanted to do atleast one scene with Kamal (giving credence to the fact that his wasn't intended to be much bigger than a guest performance). Ramkumar wanted a Kamal-Prabhu dance. Enjoyable as it is, Vaanamenna Keezhirukku, will stick out completely from the film and weaken the second half.

Most of this is from what Prabhu said in a Nov '94 program in DD titled Only Kamal.

The way the movie loses pace with the entry of Prabhu-Khushboo lends credence to theory that their inclusion in the script was a late ad-hoc plan.

Kamal has never done the usual double hero films with both 'equally' (read artificially) matching punch-for-punch and kick-fo- kick on the lines of Inaindha KaigaL

If u look at the performances of his costars they almost always seem to have their best performances in Kamal films:
Madhavan,AbhirAmi, Nasser, Gowthami, rEvathi, oorvasi,rOhini, poornam Viswanathan.....

He was so impressed with MAdhavan that he gave him a script he had written for himself - Nala Damayanthi. And Madhavan did a great job in the film. (What happened to Ramji Londonwalley ?)

Kamal plays the principal characters in the films he writes and his character dominates the screenplay. Why is this such a bad thing ? As he himself, in his own subtle style put it best in Hey Ram:

Saket Jr: என் தாத்தா நிறைய கதை சொல்லுவார்.அவர் சொல்ற எல்லா கதையுமே first person singular தான். 'ஒரு ஊர்ல ஒரு ராஜா இருந்தார்னு சொல்ல மாட்டார். நான் இருந்த ஊர்ல ஒரு ராஜா இருந்தார்னு சொல்லுவார்.

He was so impressed with MAdhavan that he gave him a script he had written for himself - Nala Damayanthi. And Madhavan did a great job in the film. (What happened to Ramji Londonwalley ?)

That was not the only reason. Kamal is reluctant to play brahmin characters often. Remember, Gentleman was first offered to him, but he refused saying he had just done a brahmin role in MMKR.

And Ramji Londonwaley was released last year, leaving of course no trails in it's wake.

Oh, didn't know that. It was too close to Kameswaran and by 2003, he was too old to play that role.

Interview--writer sujatha(about marudhanayagam)
This interview appeared in India on the Net (INET)
Dated:-May 17 1998

An interview with Sujatha

Was it you who suggested the 'Marudha Naayagam' story to Kamal?

In a way 'yes'. For the last 7 or 8 years Kamal had been searching for the right story to make a historical. He even had plans of doing a historical musical on the lines of 'Ambikapathi' and toyed with the ideaof making a film which had only verses for dialogue. While he was examining so many ideas, I suggested why not we go into immediate past history instead of going to ancient period.

MarudanayagamIt was around that time I came across a folk ballad edited by Tamil scholar Vanamamalai and published by Madurai Kamaraj University. Impressed by the ballad, I showed it to Kamal to find out if it has the potential of a good film. Kamal was initially reluctant, but agreed to go through the ballad.

In the elaborate and excellent introduction was a footnote which said, "This Yousuf Khan was originally a Hindu Vellala called Marudha Naayagam. Kamal immediately jumped at it and felt that the story had all the potential of a good historical film. Kamal felt that the religious conversion could be owing to some social oppression and that would form a good subject for filming.

The story of Marudha Naayagam is relatively unknown..

We chose the life of Marudha Naayagam for its substantial story element and episodic content. His is not a conventional story of a king. Starting his life as a supplier to the French Army, he sneaks through enemy lines with messages effortlessly. The French train him and the British, spotting his talent, elevate him to the position of a tax collector of Madurai district, only to hang him for disobedience to the British Raj just one year after his rise to the top. It is this stunning elevation from the lowest level and again touching the nadir, this graph of Marudha Naayagam's life, that interested Kamal to make it into a film.

As for deviations, nearly 80% of the film will faithfully adapt Hills' biography of Marudha Naayagam. Only on certain aspects, where no solid or substantial information is available, have we used our imagination.

For instance, no reason is available for Marudha Naayagam's conversion to Islam. Here Kamal has worked back on the character and has imagined the reasons for his conversion beautifully

Don't you foresee the danger of 'Marudha Naayagam' being compared to Sivaji Ganesan's 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' (a folk tale)?

Kamal can stand the comparison easily because he is not going to follow Sivaji Ganesan's style. Knowing well about Kamal's yen for perfection and precision, we can be sure that the level of realism in 'Marudha Naayagam' will be high. There is no question of any Indian actor playing a foreigner as Javer Sitaraman did in 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' and spoke his lines in broken Tamil. In 'Marudha Naayagam' wherever the British or French officers speak, Kamal, I think, is planning to para dubbing to give it an authentic touch.

Do you think 'Marudha Naayagam,' a film with a distinct nativeflavour, can have a national or an international audience?

Marudhanayagam TitleWhy not? 'Marudha Naayagam' may be a historical character, but he is not a larger than life character. It is a story which depicts a man with all his strengths and weaknesses. 'The rise and fall of a man' is the one line story of 'Marudha Naayagam,' a plot that will interest anyone in any part of the world. When films like 'Jurassic Park' can run for its grandeur and technical brilliance, the same can be said of 'Marudha Naayagam' which will be made using state of the art techniques. Kamal is adopting the linear narrative style where through off screen narration a person tells the background of Marudha Naayagam, the historical context of the story and so on.

Kamal is supposed to be following the Hollywood style in writing the screenplay of the film. Could you explain that?

I think for the first time in India, a computer has been used in screenplay writing, a method usually adopted by Hollywood film makers. Various software are available for this and Kamal is using a particularsoftware called 'Movie Magic.' All the information about the movie can be accessed with it..

What is you actual input in 'Marudha Naayagam'?

I created the Tamil fonts for 'Movie Magic.' I am also overseeing the screenplay written by Kamal. In Hollywood films, you have a 'screenplay doctor' and that is the role I'm playing.

Movie Gods are Smiling: The last & final clash of the Titans
http://hawkeyeview.blogspot.com/2005/04/movie-gods-are-smiling-last-final.html

Excellent writeup! Clap

see what this blogger says...

Quote:

actually when i saw in Devar magan in Kamal Theatre ( owned by Sivaji) in Thanjavur, the movie seemed like a hit even before its release. The Sivaji Kama cpombo, IRs music and all that was PR'ed like crazy. To be frank I did not like Devar Magan.. I think it ran because it had the elements that work for Kamal. His histrionics, bloody-violence, sex etc. To be very honest, I thought Roja or Vaname ellai should have made it to the oscars.

and one more....

Quote:

While Kamalahaasan has 2 wives ( and 2 divorces), 2 children outside of marriage and is alleged to have been involved in many temporary relationships, Rajinikanth has quietly setup a family life and established a healthy position in the society. He is deeply religious (and so has impressed the "ladies" and family crowds) and unlike kamal not a ruthless person ( he would be willing to let go of smaller gains for a larger spiritual gain).

and a factual error here ....

Quote:

1992 Diwali, Udhayam /Albert / Abhirami Theatres: Rajinikanth is humbled. After an unprecedented sucess run of 4 movies (Thalapthi, Mannan, Annamalai, Yejamaan) his Panidan flops BIG TIME.

actually mannan and annamalai were blockbusters, thalapathi was a average gross overall tamilnadu and yejaman which released after paandiyan, copied as much possible og devarmagan and is almost flopped and saved grace by songs and meena, a bit newbie then...

lets leave this guy so that he can go and get an MBA from Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Lets not disturb him....

Andava,
Why I am asking is ,what is heard is Chevalier is different from Chevalie... Chevalie is much higher than Chevalier.

I heard many in india got chevalier award ,but Chevalie given to only two so far ,SathyajithRay and Nadigar Thiolagam.

That is why I want to make sure ,is it Chevalier or Chevalie.

But any case ,If kamal got the award ,He deserves and I will be very happy

NT got Chevalie on 1994 ,at his age of 67

From: Aandavan on Mon Dec 4 3:46:38 2006.

Andava,
Why I am asking is ,what is heard is Chevalier is different from Chevalie... Chevalie is much higher than Chevalier.

I heard many in india got chevalier award ,but Chevalie given to only two so far ,SathyajithRay and Nadigar Thiolagam.

That is why I want to make sure ,is it Chevalier or Chevalie.

But any case ,If kamal got the award ,He deserves and I will be very happy

oh... didnt know this.. it must be that higher award....

Maddy,
I may be wrong .But what I heard is There are many such awards (like Padmasree,Padma Booshan,badma Vibooshan) ,but sounds almost similar ..I heard chevalier is not only for art ,even for businessmen etc ,But Chevalie is the highest.

Anyway,I still have the confusion ..Recently I heard Balamurali krishna was given Chevalier

From: Aandavan on Tue Dec 5 7:20:53 2006. [Full View]

With your experience and the stature you have attained,
is it easy to give yourself in the hands of other directors?

It depends on the script and who the director is. When a film doesn’t need fine-tuning, like for instance Indian, I didn’t have much to do. Shanker was in full control. But films like Nayagan and Appu Raja needed greater involvement.

Once I commit myself to a film I become responsible for it. Filmmaking is not one man’s job. It’s not the job of superstars. It's got to be well-orchestrated teamwork. Otherwise it will take ten years to make a film. Only a Mehboob Khan can make a film like that.

I like to participate in the complete process of making a film. I remember, during Ek Duuje Ke Liye, I choreographed the dance numbers with Raghu. Raghu and I had started out together as choreographers. And even today I interact with him if he is choreographing for a film of mine. During Nayakan I used to help Mani’s assistants in working out the details.

You haven’t made a film with Mani Ratnam in a long time?

Yeah. And we are not likely to make one in the near future. Our family has split and he is on the other side of the fence now. (Mani, incidentally, is married to Kamal’s niece, Suhasini).

It is not that they will not talk.

There wont be much closeness. That is it. This all started when Kamal divorced his first wife Vaani

By the way Anuhaasan, sister of Suhaasini was one of the assistant in some department for ME movie. Also she was taking care of looking at the shooting of Nala Damayanthi

One of the reason why Mani and Kamal wont join is if they join expectation will be very high and it is quite difficult to meet the expectations. Remember they should give a movie at least on par with Nayagan in terms of quality

[tscii]Is the Remake Raja’s – M. Raja and his brother Jayam Ravi going to do the Tamil remake of Lage Raho Munnabhai for Gemini Film Circuit?

Already Gemini Film Circuit (GFC) has announced that they hold the remake rights for the entire south (Tamil, Telugu and Kannada). Remember that they had produced all the three remakes of its original Munnabhai MBBS as Vasoolraja MBBS, Shankardada MBBS and Uppidada MBBS with Kamal Hassan, Chiranjeevi and Upendra respectively?

GFC has already started work on the Telugu version with Chiranjeevi, Vidya Balan and directed by Prabhu Deva. Now the big question is- Who will do the Tamil version? Earlier Kamal did not show an inclination to do the second part but the latest we hear is that he has been offered a whopping Rs 8 Crore as salary, (Rs 1 Crore more than his Dashaavtar salary)!

Meanwhile Raja has been signed to direct the Tamil remake. Earlier Vasoolraja MBBS was directed by Saran who says that Kamal will be doing his next film for his production company! The buzz in Kollywood is that if Kamal does not do the film, then Raja has asked his brother Ravi to do the lead role.

Ravi can do circuit no problem... but since gemini films [ saran ] has acquired it and Kamal's next film is with him may be saran himself might direct it

From: Surya on Thu Dec 7 16:16:04 2006.

Kamal would be the best choice for this role... sarcasm n comedy comes to him very naturally... he has a flair for it... Jeyam Ravi plz dont do it Embarassed

Even if Kamal does the title role, I think Raja would make Ravi do the circuit role Confused

Jeyam Ravi would be awesome for Circut!

But even then...I think Santhaanam would be good for Circut too...imagine him in the scenes where Circut pretends to see Gandhi!

NOTICE

Sometime early this year, when we had some problems in the TF, we locked all redundant threads and only allowed one each for each actor, with each thread beginning with New Releases of ------
This helped to contain all discussions within a single thread and also helped in moderating the forum.

This was strictly enforced for all actors including Ajith and Vijay and secondary threads have not been allowed until today. However leeway was given to Kamal and Rajini due to thier specal position in TF and fans of other stars have been magnanimous enough not to question this special treatment accorded to them.

When earlier New Releases of Kamal reached 100 pages, a new thread changing the title was started. Unfortunately, I overlooked this and allowed things to continue, until a hubber raised pertinent questions in New Rajini Release thread (yesterday and today.)

As such, reverting to the original name of the thread becomes inevitable. Please ensure that future continuations carry the words New Releases of... followed by a descripton of your choice.

Thank you.

nb: Discussions on this matter is now closed. Please use the PM facility if you are still unhappy with this decision.
let discussions on Kamal continue unhindered.

Raja to direct `Lage Raho` remake!
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 07 December , 2006, 18:29
Is the Remake Raja’s – M. Raja and his brother Jayam Ravi going to do the Tamil remake of Lage Raho Munnabhai for Gemini Film Circuit?

Already Gemini Film Circuit (GFC) has announced that they hold the remake rights for the entire south (Tamil, Telugu and Kannada). Remember that they had produced all the three remakes of its original Munnabhai MBBS as Vasoolraja MBBS, Shankardada MBBS and Uppidada MBBS with Kamal Hassan, Chiranjeevi and Upendra respectively?

GFC has already started work on the Telugu version with Chiranjeevi, Vidya Balan and directed by Prabhu Deva. Now the big question is- Who will do the Tamil version? Earlier Kamal did not show an inclination to do the second part but the latest we hear is that he has been offered a whopping Rs 8 Crore as salary, (Rs 1 Crore more than his Dashaavtar salary)!

Meanwhile Raja has been signed to direct the Tamil remake. Earlier Vasoolraja MBBS was directed by Saran who says that Kamal will be doing his next film for his production company! The buzz in Kollywood is that if Kamal does not do the film, then Raja has asked his brother Ravi to do the lead role.

The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

Well Said UN.

One of our Kamalyahoo group member Anand sir is very close to Mr.Natarajan who is the Production manager ofr Gemini circuit. During VRMBBS release, Anand had a lunch with Natarajan and discussed about the sucCess of the moive. And he said that the movie had made a very good profil for Gemini.

In their Advertisement, they mentioned
"Parampariyam mikkan niruvangalin Rasiyana Nayagan Kamal
AVMkku oru Sakalakala Vallavan and Geminikku oru Vasoo Raja MBBS".

this movie is the 3rd height grosser in 2004.

Instead i would prefer remaking a good flop movie which is not so famous like "Drohkaal"

In chennai it ran more than 100 days in few theatres. In Poindicherry it ran about 60 days in Raja theatre(Biggest theatre in Pondy).

dont know abt other.. We talk about openings nowadays. KP was houseful for 2 weeks in chennai and the it was booked very well in advance. It had a tremendous opening in chennai for sure.

regarding rajini...you are true,...

and regarding Shankar...yes..he has created a name for himself...people do know Shankar...because Indian dubbed Hindustani was such a big HIT in Hindi...and Shankar got recognition only because of Kamal's acting and ARR's music....

Raja to direct `Lage Raho` remake!

By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 07 December , 2006, 18:29

Is the Remake Raja’s – M. Raja and his brother Jayam Ravi going to do the Tamil remake of Lage Raho Munnabhai for Gemini Film Circuit?
Already Gemini Film Circuit (GFC) has announced that they hold the remake rights for the entire south (Tamil, Telugu and Kannada). Remember that they had produced all the three remakes of its original Munnabhai MBBS as Vasoolraja MBBS, Shankardada MBBS and Uppidada MBBS with Kamal Hassan, Chiranjeevi and Upendra respectively?

GFC has already started work on the Telugu version with Chiranjeevi, Vidya Balan and directed by Prabhu Deva. Now the big question is- Who will do the Tamil version? Earlier Kamal did not show an inclination to do the second part but the latest we hear is that he has been offered a whopping Rs 8 Crore as salary, (Rs 1 Crore more than his Dashaavtar salary)!

Meanwhile Raja has been signed to direct the Tamil remake. Earlier Vasoolraja MBBS was directed by Saran who says that Kamal will be doing his next film for his production company! The buzz in Kollywood is that if Kamal does not do the film, then Raja has asked his brother Ravi to do the lead role.

I don't care who directs the movie whether it's Saran or "Remake" Raja! But I certainly don't want Jeyam Ravi to do "Lage Raho Munnabhai"... Kamal is a good fit...

I liked Munnabhai MBBS better than Vasool Raja not because Munnabhai was the original version.... But just because of the charecterization in Munnabhai... I mean everyone were brilliant in Munnabhai and the movie was made very well with little slapstick...
Sanjay Dutt & Boman Irani were AWESOME and "Circuit" Arshad Warsi was "DOUBLE AWESOME" ... Infact Circuit was the guy wheo made the movie going in Munnabhai...

Unfortunately in Tamil, Prabhu was a "sitting duck" in Vasool Raja... Though Prabhu is usually good in comedy in Vasool Raja he was a big "let down" and proved no match to Kamal's comedy timing... He was no where close to the original "circuit" Also, the characterization of Nagesh & Hindi actress were less appealing in Tamil In Hindi, we "genuinely" feel for the parents because the portrayal was well made and the chemistry was good... The only saving grace for Vasool Raja were Kamal & Prakashraj... Otherwise the movie would have been a disaster!

I sincerley hope that Raja or Saran or whoever won't let down "Lage Raho Munnabhai" at least... Otherwise I will really get

OTOH, Munnabhai MBBS was 100 times better than Vasool Raja MBBS..........TF cannot get a Boman Irani for another 15 years......

Adhu enna 15 years kanakku? 'Hindi film industry is ahead by 15 years', 'Tamil film industry can't get a Boman Irani for 15 years'.. How did you arrive at that figure?

On another note, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. LRMB was lame. It was not as good as the first one. Comedy was far and few between and sentimental scenes were over the top. I hope Kamal is not lured by the money as he was for Vasoolraja

Vijay jealous of Kamal
Dec 10, 2006
This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

“I am jealous of Kamal’s histrionics in acting”, Ilaya Thalapathy had remarked during an interview. It is a known fact in Kollywood that Vijay has a lot of appreciation and reverence for his senior artists. When quizzed about his favourite actors, he spontaneously said that Sivaji, Kamal and Vikram are his all time favourites.

Vijay
Though he has developed his own style in acting, he still feels inadequate in front of these veterans. At a time when technology has not made many inroads into Kollywood, Kamal had flabbergasted the audience donning the role of a dwarf in Aboorva Sagodarargal. Till date, people are still guessing about how he had made a convincing appearance as a dwarf in the movie. In the same vein, Vikram’s soul stirring performance in Kasi has really appealed to Vijay. In the tinsel world, when open appreciation is a rare commodity Vijay’s accolades to his fellow actors comes as a welcome change.

Quote:

Eons ago, Dev Anand invites me to a shoot at the Bangalore Palace after an engrossing interview. This was the time when Kamal Hassan was sending "shivers down our spines" as Jeetendra put it. You ask Dev about the impending exodus from the south should Kamal succeed. "Why do you call it exodus? Don't we belong to the same country? I'd welcome anyone with talent since there's place for everyone." Flashback: 2

Mahesh Bhatt born with his foot in his mouth is yet to remove it. He was once quoted as saying: "Why should we take south Indian stars? Don't we have enough talent here?" And promptly went on to sign box office draw Sridevi for Gumraah. But then one wishes that the Southern superstars would take their stands seriously. Why did Rajnikant who'd told us that he'd "rather be a king here than a guard there" go on to play insignificant roles in multi-starrers? Kamal says he went in search of wider applause.

The Amitabh-Kamal starrer, based on Whose Life is it Anyway?, produced by Poornachandra Rao, was shelved after 75 per cent of the film was shot, because someone felt very insecure. Flashback:3

Kannada director T.S. Ranga is shooting for the Hindi film Gidh in a dusty village near Hubli. It's a ritual to accompany the hero Om Puri to a khanavali for bhakri and brinjal curry. On the way one day, Om points to a poster of Sagara Sangamam and gushes: "This boy has tremendous potential." Om has a look of incredulity when you chuckle loudly. He's amazed when you tell him that Kamal Hassan has already acted in more films than Om probably ever will. Om's ignorance is genuine since he's watched only Ek Duje Ke Liye.

In fact, later in the day when you mention the incident to the most charming actress you've met, Smita Patil and a budding baddie called Nana Patekar, they roll in laughter. Only the previous day Smita was telling me she may do a couple of films with "that amazing actor" Kamal, and Nana is cross that Kamal has already used a few mannerisms he was planning to.

Dasavatharam – Kamal’s restrictions
Dec 13, 2006
This news is sponsored by www.milesnprice.com

Diligent Kamal is busy these days shooting for Dasavatharam. The actor seems to be under strict dietary regime for the 10 roles of the movie. Kamal dons the role of an old lady – same as that of Avvai Shanmughi – for the flick. As it was earlier, Kamal’s make up for the role consumes more than decent time leaving Kamal in the green room for hours.

To preserve his make up, the actor has reportedly limited his intake of solid food. Sources state that Kamal consumes only liquid food during the make up session before the shoots to prevent the make up from falling apart. Opening his jaws and mouth and chewing food would prove disastrous for the make up.

Dasavatharam crew is currently in the Las Vegas shooting in the casinos. The movie is expected to hit the theatres on early 2007.

Look at what happened to Hey Ram, Alavandhaan, Mumbai Xpress....

The problems with bilinguals have been
a) Rendumkettaan... ie.. neither here nor there
b) The casting is never right - N.Indian actors don't work here..

Dubbing or remaking would be a better option

Chachi 420 is a remake if you go by the definition. But it is a scene by scene remake - which means the movie was originally made not thinking of north and south.
I always feel bad that will remain as Nammavar's first movie as a director

- to exaggerate - any one could have done that just by playing the DVD and asking the actors to imitate !!

Aalavandan music might be good - arguabl - but commercially it failed

Kamal should not have chosen himesh for the music of dasa.

The best music directors are here. Why choose the rest when U have the best?

The problem is that kamal craves for national recognition & always has been bent on promoting talent from the north. But the pity is that it has not done him any good. His films have been critically acclaimed, yes, but on the commercial front, most of his films have been flops in hindi.

He should not attempt to do a film in both tamil & hindi. He should stick to one langauge.

Kamal in cop film again
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, December 19, 2006]

As part of the 150 years celebration of Chennai police to be celebrated on the first week of January, the city police is now producing a short film at a cost of Rs 10 lakh to enhance its presence in a novel way.

Along with the prime stars of the tinsel world like Kamal Haasan, Nasser, Asin, Commissioner Letika Saran and certain other top officials are to act in the movie.

The film is being directed by director Ilavarasan and produced by Abirami Ramanathan and the shooting is taking place in and around the city.

Quote:

Kamal was born to Srinivasan and Rajalakshmi as their fourth and youngest child. His father gave all three of his sons the suffix of "Haasan" as a sign of his friendship to one Mr. Haasan.

can anyone give info on this? did kamal's father had a fried named haasan, i feel haasn is a muslim name...

also someone said that kid kamal lived in paramakkudi but was not born in paramakkudi. so what is his birthplace?

when kamal's dad was in jail, he had a muslim friend hassan who helped him a lot. In gratitude, he gave the surname hassan to all his children.

As a 14th century vaishnavite in Dasa, you would expect him to come with minimal clothing on his upper torso, so its rather surprising that he still has a paunch, thats all.

t's New Years again, and I would expect,

It's time for agendas, and time to reflect.

A time to take inventory, of the year just past,

And a time to confront, our errors at last.

A time to recall, those no longer here,

A time to remember, a time to revere.

A time to resolve, for the year now new,

To change or adjust, those things we will do.

A time to change habits, and really we should,

convert them all please, from bad ones to good,

A time to thank God, who made night and morning,

To see a new day, and enjoy a new dawning,

It's time for us all, to seize the gold fleece,

Release sparkles of stardust, of love and new peace.

A time to embrace, all those we hold dear,

To hold them, and wish them, "A Happy New Year!"

A Happy New Year To all Kamlians and Kamal.

Hope year 2007 will be much even better then the 2006 which itself was great with VV.
Hope all his movies coming out in 2007 turns to be blockbuster and setting a new trend and style all over the world.

Disgression:

i saw Thenali on RajTv on dec31st.........wanted to share a interesting observation i made in that movie:

in that interview scene he describes his flashback when the interviewer asks him whether he is married.....Kamal goes like (in my words):

they had arranged for my marriage with a girl.......that girl should have thought i was a "mental" case........so when the marriage day came, she didnt turn up in the marriage stage........she had written a letter and had run off.........then there was some commotion and there was a group of people surrounding something.......i moved them and saw my mom lying breathless.........i asked her to get up and breathe again.....but she didnt......she died making me a orphan, realising the meaning of word orphan

reminded me of Varalaaru's crux...... .....wonder whose idea it was??? Kamal's or KSR's??? if it was Kamal's then its pretty embarassing........

Will Kamal Don the role of Anna

Seems like Kollywood is on a spree of making movies based on the life of legendary leaders of Tamil Nadu. After Periyar, it is time for Anna’s life to be retold in celluloid. The movie is proposed to be produced in a big budget by Sengai Cine Arts. To raise money for the huge production expenses, the company has released advertisements seeking monetary help from the public.

Now it is learnt that an NRI has extended his financial assistance in producing the movie. He, as it seems, has requested Sengai Cine Arts not to disclose his identity and asked them to approach Kamal to don the role of Anna.

Sources from Sengai Cine Arts confirmed that if the discussions were successful and Kamal decided to take up the role, the movie would be kicked off on September 15th – on Aringar Anna’s birthday – with a formal pooja. Will Kamal utter his consent? Stay tuned for updates.

An excellent write up on Aalavandhan (flicked from our ultimate Thalaivar blog, http://kamalhaasan.wordpress.com)

One part which i really liked was this:

Quote:

Hassan is hardly a typical matinee idol. He lacks the rock-hard abs and sculpted male model body that so often passes for "tough guy" in the movies. Anyone who's been in a scrap knows that most of these preening pretty boys are useless in a pinch. What you want is a guy like Kamal Hassan, boasting the same sort of body Joe Don Baker had in the 1970s. Yeah, sure, he ain't got a six-pack. There's a bit of a spare tire around the waist. But you never have any doubt in your mind that this guy could kick your ass while downing half a dozen beers without spilling a drop. He's not buff, but he'ssolid, and you know he's tough. That he's an engaging performer only sweetens the deal.
