News and Updates on Kalaignani Dr. Kamal HaasaR

someone mentioned mannan, annamalai yejamaan thalapathi 4 Duperhits after which paandiyan came and floped, its totally wrong, yejamaan came after Devar magan

That article is just BS written by someone (Bharath/Hawkeye) with a reality disconnect..
Samples: He thinks Pachaikkili Muthucharam 'fusion' is in the level of Ilaiyaraaja!!

He reveals as an "inside info" the title of Selvaraghavan's next film - he made this post last month!

Just a continuation

Abborva sagodharargal was biggest hit before Annamalai. It was biggest from 1989 to 1992 may. Even the blockbusters like Captain Prabhakaran,Chinna Thambi couldn't beat it's collection.

Annamalai was biggest for just 5 months. Devar Magan beat Annamalai collections. It was the biggest till Basha. Even Uzhaipali,Veera,Nattami and Gentle men couldn't beat the collection.

Indian beat the collections of the Basha and became the biggest hit till padayappa. The movies like Suryavamsam,Kadallukku mariyadhai and Arunachalam couldn't beat its collection .

Indradu chandradu was only the biggest hit in 1988.And that was his last direct super hit moive.

Alas, here I disagree with you Hulk. Both are not, in my opinion, their best. Basha is reworking of the best bits from Annamalai. And in Indian, Kamal's make up is so thick that we can't see his expression. Thank god for his excellent body language and voice, we at least know what the poor old man was going through. I started my writing career trashing Indian (movie, not people), by the way.

Phew! Alas, we agreed on something.

Giving national award for a performance that was completely covered with thick makeup, so much so that there was barely any facial expression? It's insulting to other brilliant kamal's performance. Where was National award when Guna came out? Or MMKR, where he worked his behind off to make sure that all characters are different from one other? Where was the committee when he did Mahanadhi? Engey, engey, engey....

Without having to compare to NT, I'd say that again, it was insult to MGR's better performances earlier, say in Padagotti or Paasam, or Pettraal Taan Pillaiya. (But some of us may or may not know why, and we shall not talk about it, zzzzziiiiipppp).

At any rate, we know how good Kamal is. We don't need not National Award to tell us. It's the body of work that is important, not the occasional award.

History should tell us. Looking back, we see his contributions not only in the field of acting, but more, and there is more to come. National Award or no, Kamal will still be where he is now, and will go further.

There is one melody with Asin which is supposed to be very good, if unit persons have to be believed (this is first-hand info, but the problem is 'very good' is subjective).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system

Quote:

Until 1993, the Avid Media Composer could only be used for editing commercials or other small content projects, because the Apple Macintosh computers could access only 50 gigabytes of storage at one time. In 1992, this limitation was overcome by a group of industry expert�s lead by a Digital Video R&D team at the Disney Channel. By February 1993, this team had integrated a long form system that gave the Avid Media Composer Apple Macintosh access to over 7 terabytes of digital video data.

Mahanadhi was released in 1994, so definitely it was too early to use non-linear editing back then....

Actually there is a very interesting and sensitive version for the reason for (according to Chandrahaasan) Rahman not doing Dasa..and its not because of the so-called 'problems' between Aandavar and Rahman...

I loved HEYRAM MUSIC a lot out of those movies.

Himesh - His appeal among the Young Generation is just amazing though they never forget praising Rahman. I think IF most of the songs have the usual pattern, then I am sure he can make sure nothing goes wrong except the classical one ofcourse.

Kamal's pat for Karthi
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 14, 2007]

Kamal Hassan watched a special screening of Karthi's Paruthi Veeran in Chennai on Sunday.

Taking time off his busy schedule from Dasavatharam, the actor attended the special show of Paruthi Veeran.

Impressed with the movie, Kamal Hassan poured encomiums on director Ameer.

A seasoned campaigner in the film industry, Kamal Hassan appreciated Karthi for his excellent performance considering the fact that it is the young actor�s maiden film.

It may be recalled that Chief Minister M Karunanidhi and Superstar Rajinikanth had earlier watched Paruthi Veeran and appreciated the cast and crew of the movie for their good work.

Nothing of that sort.. It's just that Shankar is an inefficient director, ie, he takes too long to complete his films.

Kamal - the man, his work

On November 7, 1954, a boy was born at Paramakudi in Ramanathapuram district. Hardly anybody would have guessed that this handsome little boy would one day conquer the film industry and carve his own niche among big actors. He is Kamal Hassan - versatality his right hand, experimentation, his left. The great man is now 50 years old, and Chennaionline.com takes a look at his experiments and tries to analyse the genius in him.

Acting and Kamal Hassan

He becomes the character he plays. The transformation of the young rebel to an old man in the epic 'Nayakan', the woman's role portrayed to perfection in 'Avvai Shanmugi', the typical Tamil Nadu village rowdy in 'Virumaandi' - these are some outstanding examples of his prowess as an actor. He played almost the same character in three films - '16 Vayathinile', 'Swathi Muthyam' (Telugu) and 'Guna' - yet each time he was different, and interesting. Some other brilliant portrayals are 'Hey Ram' and 'Mahanadi'.

His comedy

That comedy is Kamal's forte is well known. Films like 'PKS', 'Panchathantiram' and the recent 'Vasool Raja MBBS' have been rib ticklers and laugh riots. His dialogue delivery in all these movies has been excellent (not to forget Crazy Mohan's famed wit.) His choice of words ('naa dubakuru' in 'Vasool Raja MBBS'), his innocent expessions (in 'Vasool Raja..' and 'Panchathantiram') - have been top-notch. Critics came down heavily on him for acting in such 'low standard' movies. They should remember one thing - 'It doesn't matter whether you are a George Bernard Shaw, your smile and wit should never leave you.'

His concepts and ideas

Quite contrary to his comedies, there has been a number of movies in which Kamal puts forth his ideas and proves the genius in him. Proving that Love is God in a fantastically-made 'Anbe Sivam', pleading against capital punishment in 'Virumaandi' are recent examples.

'Kamal Hassan is an atheist' was the idea of the average film-watcher. He disproved it brilliantly in 'Anbe Sivam'- a personal favourite. Thus goes a song in the movie- 'Yaar Yaar Sivam? Nee Naan Sivam' which translates into 'Who is God? You and me'. Kamal's concept of God is clearly revealed in this movie, and his genius shines through this whole movie.

Cinema is a medium through which one can express one's opinion and ideas - and Kamal Hassan has done that time and again.

Historian Kamal

"If you dont know history, you dont know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know that its part of a tree," said Michael Crichton, renowned author. Kamal seems to have taken this advice seriously - and the result was a magnificient 'Hey Ram'. Bringing together a host of good Hindi actors and actresses, Kamal extracted the best out of them, and 'Hey Ram' is easily one of his best efforts. Though it failed to go down well with the audience, it was a critically acclaimed movie.

Kamal and get-ups

He is a man known to put in a lot of effort in his appearance on screen. The bald schizophrenic in 'Aalavandan', with muscles that looked like tree trunks, was one character that required a Herculean effort - and that was done successfully by Kamal. He grew a moustache-cum-sideburns for 'Virumaandi'. A French beard for 'Panchathantiram'. A short haircut and rugged beard in 'Satya' and 'PKS'. All these were good efforts, but his best effort till date was his appearance in 'Aboorva Sagodargal'. How he managed to act as a dwarf in that movie remains a puzzle till date.

Musician Kamal

Who can forget his awesome chanting of 'Yaar Yaar Sivam..' in 'Anbe Sivam'? And the superb rendering of 'Stranded on the Streets..' in the movie 'Nala Dhamayanti'? An excellent singer with all the classical touches, he is helped a lot by a deep voice. Ilayaraja has been Kamal's all-time favourite. Kamal's eyes light up like a school kid when he hears Ilayaraja's name. Such is the admiration Kamal has for the musical maestro.

The humility in Kamal

"When the Guru summons, the sishya obeys" - This is what Kamal said when K Balachander asked him if he could do a guest role in the Maddy-starrer 'Parthale Paravasam'. Even now Kamal remains a student of K Balachander. Despite the fact that Kamal is a voracious reader and watches highy-intellectual movies of Kurosawa and Coppola, he has always been curious to learn new things and has had utmost respect for people in other streams.

Kamal's concept of Love

You would have certainly seen/heard this song from 'Vasool Raja MBBS'- "Alwarpetta..". The first and second para in this song reveal Kamal's idea of love. He sings - 'Kaadhal Unnum Kadavul Illaiyada, Intha Yezhavu Ellam Kamam Seyium Kalagam Thanada...". This, essentially, sums up Kamal's concept of love. Once, in an interview, he said, "I fail to understand what this four letter word called 'love' is all about. It's all about a three letter word...".This is the only ideology of Kamal that most fans, especially young ones like me, will not agree with.

Awards and Kamal

The actor in him shot to limelight when he was a kid. He bagged the Best Child Artiste award for his performance in 'Kalathur Kannamma', in which he acted when he was just 5 years old (remember the song 'Ammavum Neeye Appavum Neeye'?). Other sterling performances that brought him awards were 'Moondram Pirai', 'Pesum Padam', 'Nayakan' and 'Indian'. His recent 'Virumaandi' won international recognition and acclaim.

It's a Kamal film

Every film where Kamal acts is purely his movie, without doubt. He interferes with all the tasks involved; directing, screenplay, acting, music - which only shows that he is multi-faceted. His dream project, 'Marudunayagam', needs a lot of money and whether it will be made at all is a question which only Kamal can answer.

He's had his share of controversies. Some people have described him as a 'woman maniac'. Despite all this, Kamal Hassan continues to entertain us and enlighten us in every film of his. That's the major asset of Kamal Hassan - he can entertain and enlighten the audience with his movies. We wish him a happy birthday and also wish him the best for his forthcoming projects.

வெள்ளைக்காரர்களுக்கு போர்க்காலத்தில் சரக்கு கட்த்திய பிறகு அவர்களுக்கு தென்மாநிலங்களில் வரி வசூல் செய்ய உதவி, கவர்னர் பதவி பெற்று பிறகு வெள்ளைக்காரர்களையே எதிர்த்துக் கொண்டு தன்னிச்சையாக மதுரை நவாபாக நியமித்துக்கொண்டு வெள்ளையன் கோபத்துக்குள்ளகி தூக்கு தண்டனை விதிக்கப்பட்டு மதுரைக் கோட்டைக்குள்ளிருந்து போரிட்டு மாண்ட ஒரு மாவீரனின் கதை அது.

கான்சாகிப் ண்டை என்ற நாட்டுப்புறக்கதைப் பாடலும் ரைலண்ட் கில் எழுதிய வாழ்க்கைச் சரித்திரத்திலும் ஆராய்ச்சி செய்து திரைக்கதை பண்ணியிருந்தோம். படப்பிடிப்பு துவங்கியது. எலிசபெத் ராணி அதைத் துவக்கி வைத்தார். அரை மணி நேர படமும் தயாரானது. விதி மீண்டும் மெல்ல நகைத்தது.

அந்தக் கதையில் தேவர் சமுதாயத்திற்கு இழுக்காக பாட்சிகள் இருப்பதாக யாரோ வேண்டாதவர் புரளி கட்டிவிட்டதில் என்னதான் கமல் சமாதானம் சொன்னாலும் அந்த முக்கியான சமுதாயத்தில் முக்கியமானவர்கள் சமாதானமாகவில்லை. மருதநாயகம் அதனால் கைவிடப்பட்டது.

அதுமட்டும் முடிவு பெற்றிருந்தால் லகானுக்கு முன் வெளிவந்திருக்கும் படம் நிச்சயம் ஆஸ்கார் போயிருக்கும் வென்றிருக்கும்.

வலைப்பதிவில் (blog) இந்த பேட்டி குறித்து நண்பரொருவரின் கருத்துக்கள்
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

வற்றாயிருப்பு" சுந்தர் said...
"இங்க பேசற மாதிரி கோவமா படத்துல சொல்லமுடியாது. சதைக்கும் தசைநார்களுக்கும் இடையே ஊசி ஏற்றுவது போலச் சொல்ல வேண்டும்" - கமல் உள்ளே கனன்று கொண்டிருக்கும் சமூகக் கோபம் அப்பட்டமாகத் தெரிகிறது அவரது விழிகள் மூலம். குறிப்பாக பாரதியாரைத் தெருவில் விட்டுவிட்ட அவலத்தை மறுபடியும் குறிப்பிடத் தவறவில்லை (இதற்கு முன்பு சென்னையில் நடந்த மாஸ்ட்ரோ இசைநிகழ்ச்சியில் பேசும் போதும் இதே விஷயத்தைக் குறிப்பிட்டார்).

நான் அவரை நேசிப்பதற்கு வலுசேர்க்கும் கலைஞன் என்ற வரம்பை மீறிச் சமூகத்தைப் பார்க்கும் அவரது கோணங்கள்:

'இறை மறைப்பு' என்ற விவாதமே தேவையற்ற ஒன்று - சக மனிதனை உணருவது பகுத்தறிவு.

'தீவிர வெறித்தனமான ரசிகர்களை நான் ஆதரிப்பதில்லை. எதிலுமே தீவிரவாதம் தவிர்க்கப்பட வேண்டியதொன்று'

'பத்து வருடம் கழித்து வந்திருக்க வேண்டிய படம் என்று சொல்கிறீர்கள். இதுவே மிகவும் தாமதம். பத்து வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பே எடுத்திருக்கவேண்டிய படம் ஹே ராம்'.

'இளமை பழமையை திருத்தி மாற்ற வேண்டுமேயொழிய பழமையை முழுமையாக அழித்து ஒழிக்க முயற்சிக்கக் கூடாது'

'கலைஞனுக்கு அவனது சிந்தனைகளே வாழ்க்கை என்னும்போது அவன் தனிமையாக இருக்கிறான் என்பதே கிடையாது. கலைஞனுக்குத் தனிமை கிடையாது' - எத்தனை உண்மை!

'கருப்பு வெள்ளையாக, நேர்மை என்கின்ற வண்ணத்தை இழந்தவர்களாக 21-ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் இருக்கிறோம்' - என்று ஹே ராமின் அந்தக் காட்சிக்கு என்ன மாதிரியான விளக்கம் அளித்தார்! எனக்கு நினைவுதெரிந்து தொலைக்காட்சி தொலைபேசி அழைப்புகளில் ஒரு ரசிகர் உருப்படியாக ஒரு கேள்வி கேட்டது இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில்தான்.

'சிவாஜி செய்தது போல நானும் சில விதைகளைத் தூவிவிட்டுப் போகவேண்டும்' என்று அந்த அற்புதமான தேவர்மகன் காட்சியைப் பற்றிச் சொன்னபோது மெய்சிலிர்த்தது.

ஆரம்பத்தில் ஒழுங்காகப் பேசிய அந்த அம்மணி தெனாலியைப் பற்றியும் டாக்டர் பஞ்ச பூதத்தைப் பற்றியும் கமல் குறிப்பிட்ட போதும் சற்றும் குறிப்பறியாமல் நான்கைந்து தடவை 'கமள் ஹாசன்' என்று அழுத்தமாக உச்சரித்தபோது எனக்குப் பல்லெல்லாம் கூசியது.

நாங்கள் சினிமாக்களை ஒரு வருடம் நிறுத்திவிட்டால் ஒன்றும் குடி முழுகிப் போகாது. எங்களுடைய தொழில் மக்களுக்கான அத்தியாவசிய சேவை இல்லை - என்று உரக்கச் சொல்ல நேர்மை வேண்டும். கமலுக்கு அது நிறையவே இருக்கிறது என்பதை மறுபடியும் உரக்கச் சொல்லி நிரூபித்தார்.

நாயகன் படத்தைப் பற்றிச் சொன்னதும் குறிப்பிடவேண்டியதொன்று. மணிரத்னமும் கமலும் மறுபடியும் இணையவேண்டும் என்ற எனது இருபது வருட அவா என்றாவது நனவாகிறதா என்று பார்ப்போம்.

சுவாரஸ்யமாகப் பேசினார் கமல். அவரது கடின பேச்சு நடையைக் கிண்டலடிக்கும் நபர்களும் கமல் அளவிற்கு வேறு யாராவது சமூகப் பிரக்ஞையுடன் விஷயங்களை அணுகுகிறார்களா என்று சொன்னால் நலம். வெறுமனே புகழையும் பணத்தையும் சம்பாதித்துவிட்டுப் போகாமல் தன்னால் இயன்ற அளவு தனது ரசிகர் படையை நற்பணிகளுக்குத் திசைதிருப்பி உடல்தானம் போன்று மற்றவர்கள் நினைக்க மறுக்கும் விஷயங்களில் கூட தானே முன்மாதிரியாக இருந்து - தலைவனுக்குரிய எடுத்துக்காட்டாய் விளங்கும் 'நம்மவர்' கமலை எவ்வளவு பாராட்டினாலும் தகும். வாழும் வரலாறு விருது அவருக்கு நிச்சயம் பொருத்தமானது.

எனக்கிருக்கும் மிகப்பெரிய ஆதங்கமே, இவ்வளவு விஷயஞானமும் அக்கறையும் உள்ள இவர் ஏன் அரசியலை விட்டு ஒதுங்கி இருக்கிறார் என்பதுதான்

It is best kamal stays away from politics. If he enters it, he is doomed & the reasons are many.

Also, there is justification in people decrying his manner of talking. He can put forth his ideas in simple, talking tamil rather than trying to get grammatical. Also, since his voice is rather hoarse & he gives long pauses, it is sometimes difficult to follow.

Also, it is better he avoids putting forth his videws on God & religion since it tends to ruffle many peoples feathers. Belief in God & religion is a private pursuit & best intended that way.

FICCI Award To Kamal Haasan
Published on March 15, 2007 by Malladi NarasimhamViewed 75 times

Kamal Haasan, the illustrious actor now joins the select company of matinee icons Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Vyjayanthimala Bali, Waheeda Rehman, Dharmendra, Amithabh Bachchan, Hemamalini and nightingales Latha Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle. The ace actor has been chosen for the FICCI-FRAMES 2007 Living Legend Award which will be presented at a grand function on March 28 in Mumbai. The award is given every year for eminent personalities who have made rich contribution in the field of entertainment.

Daringly different from the mundane acting style, Kamal Haasan is known for his bravery in choosing innovative characters and as an actor he has become a byword for creativity. An inspiration to a whole generation of actors and movie-goers alike, Kamal is the first actor in the world to convert his fan-clubs into social service organizations. It is only befitting the actor is chosen for one more national honour and he is the first film personality from the South films to bag the prestigious award!
Here is a word on the living legend. A living legend could be defined as an individual who has during his own lifetime, achieved immortality in the annals of history through dint of sheer accomplishment of the highest virtue. This could clear the doubt lingering in the minds of two top Telugu actors on who is a legend and who is a celebrity!

Food Habits, Wellbeing and Fitness Practices of Kamal Haasan - from Orkut

Everyone knows kamal's keen interest in fitness, health and well beng, lets discuss his secrets of goof health

Fans written ones, not sure abt its correctness.....

Quote:

for more than 20 years kamal is drinking only black tea without adding milk.

i have heard he used to visit ,,, move n pick for ice creams, He likes the tuna fish matter in sub way ,, also he was intersted with the fish salad there

his fav icecream is lemon flavour which is available only in subway

Some 20 years before when his career was budding, he had asthma problems, and use to consult with Dr.Raju, founder of the Raju Hospitals in chennai T.Nagar

15 yrs back, i hav read may times that he consumes a rice vareity from kerala, samba arisi, i think....

he does some facial exercises as son as he getup morning, which keeps his face young.

he himself has said that he follows certain practices thaught by MGR, for fitness. He has Gym and A hair salon in his home

Actor vivek said once he took suggestions from kamji regarding his(vivek's) back pain. Aandavar really seem to be a sakalakalaa doctor!

He is more a healthy person, rarely goes for medical consultation, but recently before Virumaandi shoot to bigin, he was admitted in Ramachandra Hospital for some problem related to kidney.

Before attending any functions in evening, he dont rush up from shoot, it seems he takes a refreshign bath before attenting any function, i hav never seen him looking tired in any event,fres both physically and mentally

If you ask him his secrets of his youthness he may divert but its best to ask him about good practices for fitness. he may give some rare important tips

he is an example for us, even in fitness and well being

MGR on Kamal Haasan
Maybe not many people in our community and the younger generation especially know that MGR had a soft corner for Thalaivar. It is said that MGR wanted Thalai to join AIADMK when his first term as CM was coming to an end. I guess Thalai initially felt obliged to accede to MGR's request but changed his mind subsequently. In the movie "Mangala Vaathiyam", Thalaivar appears in a song praising MGR - "Vandinaa Vandithaan Idhu Vaathiyaaru Vandithaan, Ethu Vandaalum Ithu Mundhi Pogum Thanga Thambi Vandithaan" - "வண்டீனா வண்டீதான் இது வாத்தியாரு வண்டீதான் , எது வந்தாலும் இது முந்தி போகும் தங்க தம்பி வண்டீதான்" (Excuse any spelling mistakes in my Tamizh)
Thalai is on a cart with Sripriya in this song and will keep showing the 'two leaves' symbol. Such was their relationship!

Maraka Mudiyaatha Comments by MGR on Thalaivar -
1. தம்பி கமலை போன்ற ஒரு மாபெரும் கலைஞனை என் வாழ் நாளில் பார்த்ததே கிடையாது. And this was in 1982/83...

2. After watching Salangai Oli, in one of the function MGR remarked that 'he felt ashamed to have been proud of his dancing skills especially the one he did in 'Manathi Mannan' when Kamal really showed what dancing is all about in 'Salangai Oli'. It seems the way he said it in the function was really putting himself down and making fun of himself while praising Kamal sky high.

Maybe both the comments came in the same function... I cannot remember correctly.

MGR had never uttered such praise worthy statements or made such comments about any other actor or public figure.

ரஜினி கமல் சந்திப்பு

சென்னை: தசாவதாரம் படப்பிடிப்பில் நடிகர்கள் ரஜினியும் கமலும் திடீரென்று சந்தித்து பேசினர்.
சிவாஜி படத்தின் விட்டுப்போன காட்சிகளை சரிசெய்யும் படப்பிடிப்பு ஏவி.எம்., ஸ்டுடியோவில் நடந்து வருகிறது. இதில் பங்கேற்க நடிகர் ரஜினி வந்திருந்தார். அவருக்கான காட்சிகளை இயக்குனர் ஷங்கர் படமாக்கினார். படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்து வெளியே வரும்போது, அடுத்த தளத்தில் கார்களும், துணை நடிகர்களும் அதிகம் நின்றிருப்பதை பார்த்து, எந்தப் படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு நடக்கிறது என்று ரஜினி கேட்டிருக்கிறார். அங்கிருந்தவர்கள். கமல் படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு நடக்கிறது என்றதும், ரஜினி படப்பிடிப்பு தளத்திற்குள் சென்றிருக்கிறார்.
ரஜினி வருவது பற்றி இணை இயக்குனர் ஒருவர், கமலிடம் ஓடிப்போய் சொன்னார். உடன், கமல் வந்து ரஜினியை வரவேற்றார். இருவரும் சில நிமிடங்கள் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். அரங்கு அமைப்பு வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கிறது என்று ரஜினி சொல்ல, படத்தில் எல்லாமே வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கும் என்று சிரித்துக் கொண்டே சொன்ன கமல், படப்பிடிப்பு தளத்திற்கு வெளியே நிறுத்தப்பட்டிருந்த கேரவனுக்கு ரஜினியை அழைத்து சென்றார்.

சிறிது நேரத்தில் கமல் தனது உதவியாளரை அழைத்து, தசாவதாரம் போட்டோ ஆல்பத்தை கொண்டுவரச் சொல்லி ரஜினியிடம் காட்டியிருக்கிறார். அதில் பத்து, கெட் அப்களில் கமலின் போட்டோக்களை பார்த்த ரஜினி, நல்லா வந்திருக்கு என்று பாராட்டியுள்ளார். இருவரும், சிவாஜி படம் பற்றியும், தசாவதாரம் படம் பற்றியும் அரை மணிநேரம் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். அதன்பிறகு ரஜினி அங்கிருந்து புறப்பட்டு சென்றார்.

* It is best kamal stays away from politics. If he enters it, he is doomed & the reasons are many.

* Also, it is better he avoids putting forth his videws on God & religion since it tends to ruffle many peoples feathers.

* Belief in God & religion is a private pursuit & best intended that way.

These are certainly good suggestions but you could have phrased little more politely.

I would suggest the same thing to Rajni. Because they have fans who love them but they can be believers and nonbelievers too. So, keeping away from religious issues esp when they are addressing public meetingsor interviews is good for them ! THey can always say their stand when they were asked to respond. Who cares what they believe in which is their personal matter. THey can keep that in a personal level so that they can gain more respect from public and fans with various beliefs!

Yes, Kannan Swamy is an incomparable senior fan (also holds a very senior position at work, next to VP) and as you said, is a knowledge repository. Aandavar also knows him personally. Most of his posts are bang on and informative. He is our main guide/contributor for social activities. He never misses FDFS and no matter which country he is in, he comes to India for the release (for VR MBBS he came to Sangam theatre straight from the airport i think). Kungumam (or Kumudham) also carried an article on him during MX release...

Excerpts

Quote:

You can�t keep blaming the audience and say they like it. If you give people a chequered shirt, they will wear it. Who decides the fashion. Definitely not the people. Business ethics should ensure that you don�t sell something that will kill people

You mean we have to segregate content?
My friend Goldie Anand, lost his job for saying this. That was a political statement. I will say it, as I have nothing to loose. You must allow X-rated films and separate them from family entertainment. Currently, we are mixing it all. Mainstream cinema is being corrupted by this content. Censor board is a body appointed by us and we cannot let them behave like monitoring royalty. The industry must have a say in this issue. Instead of throwing a little bit of the sex into, say almost all, Tamil songs which have lyrics about licking, sucking, tasting and biting, (I'm just translating what�s publicly aired on FM channels all the while) separate the X rated stuff. All of this is frustration which needs an outlet.

Who should take these initiatives?
The industry has to do it. Let us approach the whole issue methodically, like say the how a medical professional would do. Cinema is everybody's favourite art. So everybody thinks it is easy entry and everybody can indulge in it. Not so. It is like quacks who kill people. In this case, we kill the culture. Just because we do not see people die physically, it does not mean we can allow these. That's what is ailing this industry. We must have the consciousness of a doctor and the finesse of a neuro surgeon. There is a method and a system. There are so many minute issues involved. What�s happening now is like a child plonking on a piano. But, we have been suffering this child for over 50 years.

It is a topic which we can go on debating without any conclusion !!
Many great film artists (Dev Anand, Madhu, now Kamal) have raised similar opinions - The duty of the board is to issue certificate and not remove scenes.

If you see the multiplexes, they do strict check on age proof for 'A' movies.
It means there are no implementation issues if we have 'X' rated movies and allow entry only for adults.

But unfortunately we have a bunch of people who will cry and shout about our so called "culture" - and then the same situation will continue in our movies - double meaning dialogs, heroine licking hero's fingers in a suggestive way etc etc

Shooting of Sivaji was getting wrapped up a couple of days ago in A V M studios. For a song sequence, superstar was spotted appearing like M.G.R. and Sivaji. As the film is getting simultaneously filmed in Telugu also, Rajinikanth had turned up as N.T.R. and Chiranjeevi and the shot was canned with smooth perfection.

Kamal-Rajini
After the completion of his scenes, when he was coming out, Rajinikanth found the adjacent sets to be crowded with cars and junior artists. When he realized it was Kamal�s Dasavatharam which was progressing, he went to the sets to have a glimpse of what�s going on. Kamal on hearing about his bosom buddy�s arrival at the sets, rushed to welcome him.

After the tour of the sets, when superstar had commented about the uniqueness of the same, Kamal had replied that everything about the movie itself was special and extraordinary. The two of them had an animated discussion for some time after which Kamal took Rajini to his caravan which was parked outside. Dasavatharam album was shown to Rajini who appeared to have been thoroughly impressed with the ten different getups of Kamal. The matinee idols of Kollywood were engaged in intense conversation about each other�s film for some time. It was also said that Kamal was enquiring about the unauthorized leak of Sivaji songs in the net with a lot of concern.

கமலை ரசித்த ரஜினி
தசாவதாரம் பட ஷூட்டிங்குக்கு திடீர் என வந்த சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினி, கமலின் 10 அவதாரங்களையும் பார்த்து வியந்து போய், உங்களுக்கு நிகர் நீங்கள்தான் என்று கூறி வாயாரப் பாராட்டினார்.
சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் என்ற பெரிய பட்டம் தலைக்கு மேல் பல காலமாக தொங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்த போதிலும் அதன் கனம் தலைக்குள் போய் விடாமல் படு எளிமையாக இருப்பவர் ரஜினி.
திறமையாளர்களை வாய் விட்டுப் பாராட்டுவது, எளிமையாக பழகுவது என பல நல்ல பழக்கங்கள் ரஜினியிடம் இருப்பதால்தான், இன்னும் அவர் திரையுலகின் முடி சூடா மன்னராக இருக்கிறார்.

தனது தாராள மனப்பான்மையை மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை நிரூபித்துள்ளார் ரஜினி. சிவாஜி படத்தின் ஓரிரு பேட்ச் அப் காட்சிகளில் நடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார் ரஜினி. ஏவி.எம். ஸ்டுடியோவில் இந்தக் காட்சிகள் படமாக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றன.

அப்போதுதான் கமல்ஹாசன் இன்னொரு தளத்தில் தசாவதாரம் படப்பிடிப்பை நடத்திக் கொண்டிருப்பது ரஜினிக்குத் தெரிய வந்தது. இதையடுத்து கிடைத்த ஒரு கேப்பில் கபால் என தசாவதாரம் ஸ்பாட்டுக்கு ஜூட் விட்டார் ரஜினி.

ரஜினியைப் பார்த்ததும் தசாவதாரம் யூனிட் ஆச்சரியத்தில் மூழ்கியது. கமலை நெருங்கிய அவர் படப்பிடிப்பு குறித்து கேட்டறிந்தார். குறிப்பாக கமல் போட்டுள்ள 10 ேவடங்கள் குறித்தும் ஆர்வமாக விசாரித்தார்.

தான் போட்டுள்ள சில கெட்டப்களை கமல், ரஜினிக்குப் போட்டுக் காட்டினார். அதைப் பார்த்த ரஜினி ஆச்சரியமாகிப் போய் விட்டாராம். அதிலும் நீக்ரோ வேடத்தில் கமலைப் பார்த்த அவருக்கு சுத்தமாக அடையாளமே தெரியவில்லையாம். கமல், இது நான்தான் என்று விளக்கிய பிறகே அவருக்கு அது கமல் என்று தெரிந்ததாம்.

கமல்ஹாசன் போட்டுள்ள 10 அவதாரங்களையும் பிரத்யேகமாக பார்த்த ரஜினி, அசந்து போய் விட்டாராம். கமலின் கைகளைப் பிடித்து உங்களுக்கு நிகர் நீங்கள்தான். பக்கத்தில் கூட யாரும் வர முடியாது என்று பிரமித்துப் பாராட்டினாராம்.

கமல், ரஜினி ஆகிய இரு டைட்டான்களின் இந்த சந்திப்பு அரை மணி நேரம் நீடித்ததாம். கோலிவுட்டின் இரு இமயங்களின் சந்திப்பு குறித்த தகவல் பரவியதும் பத்திரிக்கைக்காரர்கள் குவிந்து விட்டனர். அதற்குள் ரஜினி அங்கிருந்து சிவாஜிக்கு ஜூட் விட்டு விட்டார்.

பின்னர் கமல் தன்னைச் சந்தித்த பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களிடம் இதுகுறித்துப் பேசுகையில், 1970லிருந்தே இருவரும் நண்பர்கள். எனவே அவர் எனது ஷூட்டிங்கைப் பார்க்க வந்ததும், நான் அவரது ஷூட்டிங்கைப் பார்க்கப் போவதும் புதிதல்ல, ஆச்சரியமும் இல்லை.

அவரும் கூட 10 வேடங்களில் நடிக்க முடியும். அதற்கு முற்றிலும் தகுதியானவர்தான் ரஜினி. சிவாஜி படத்தில் கூட அவர் பல கெட்டப்களில் வருவதாக அறிந்தேன் என்றார் கமல்.

கமல்ஹாசன் போட்டுள்ள 10 அவதாரங்களையும் பிரத்யேகமாக பார்த்த ரஜினி, அசந்து போய் விட்டாராம். கமலின் கைகளைப் பிடித்து உங்களுக்கு நிகர் நீங்கள்தான். பக்கத்தில் கூட யாரும் வர முடியாது என்று பிரமித்துப் பாராட்டினாராம்.

பின்னர் கமல் தன்னைச் சந்தித்த பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களிடம் இதுகுறித்துப் பேசுகையில், 1970லிருந்தே இருவரும் நண்பர்கள். எனவே அவர் எனது ஷூட்டிங்கைப் பார்க்க வந்ததும், நான் அவரது ஷூட்டிங்கைப் பார்க்கப் போவதும் புதிதல்ல, ஆச்சரியமும் இல்லை.

10A is going to be 10 X Sakalakala Vallavan !

Just a thought and an info:

AFAIK, The only movie that completed 175+ days run in "Ganesh Complex" in Sivakasi is "Sakalakala Vallavan". In the balcony, the theatre owner has put up the snap he took with Nammavar at that time and the shield he received from AVM !

Let me wish ALL THE VERY BEST now itself for the 10A team to break that record in terms of collections and everything !

SV, when I was reading that article, you know how when a shooting is goin on in Chennai, how the atmosphere will be (full of cars, crowd, and crew everywhere) and how hard ppl struggle to get in and find a glimpse of their stars... Especially for a Kamal movie, you neednt ask how the scene would have been...

I was wondering if how difficult it would have been for a normal person to walk in like that, how would it have been for Rajini (who's also a star) to have walked into the shooting spot, and talked to Kamal and others amidst all that crowd and stuff!

Kamal honoured with living legend award

From: thinkfloyd on Thu Mar 29 23:47:57 2007.

From: RPB on Fri Mar 30 11:51:11 2007.

http://www.nowrunning.com/news/news.asp?it=10046

Quote:

Direcor Saran has reportedly struck a deal with Ayangaran for his planned next venture starring Kamal Hassan. The deal has been finalized after several rounds of talks between Saran and Karunas, who is the London owner of Ayangaran International.

Under the agreement, Saran would make the film in the first basis and Ayangaran would be the official producers. Ayangaran is said to have offered Saran a huge amount.

Saran had been planning for long to make a film with Kamal Haasan in the lead for his home banner, Gemini Productions. He had been writing the script for the past eight months and had waited to launch the film after the completion of "Dasavatharam" which is touted as Kamal's magnum opus.

However, Saran's plans had changed after the release of Muni" which was produced under his home banner, Gemini Productions, and directed by Raghava Lawrence. Saran had faced a financial crunch for release of "Muni" and it was the distributors, Ayangaran International, which came to his help, it is said. "Muni" was released on March 9 in both Tamil and Telugu.

Saran vehemently denies any problems between him and Lawrence with regard to "Muni". While "Muni" was being shot, Lawrence was unavailable for 20 days for he had to work for "Sivaji" and choreograph dances for a Chiranjivi-starrer in Telugu.

"Muni" facilitated Lawrence's entry into Tamil after a gap of four years and he had the chance of both directing and acting in the film, claims Saran.

Exclusive - Ayngaran to produce Kamal's next movie

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

March 30, 2007

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

In a country where films are considered a religion and cine stars are placed on a monumental pedestal, the announcement about a new film of their favorite icon is bound to escalate the spirit of every eager fan. When it comes to Kamal Hassan who is known to eat, drink

breathe and cinema, his fans all round the globe are anticipating every film of his. The next project for this talented actor after Dasavatharam is reported to be with director Saran which will be produced by the London based Ayngaran International on a first copy basis. For Ayngaran, this is the second jackpot in line as they had already clinched the deal on the international distribution rights of super star's magnum opus Sivaji.

Nag Ravi who is better known as actress Sneha's former friend is likely to co-produce this movie. He is also a very good friend of Saran and is reported to stand by him in most of his endeavors.

In Kollywood, directing Kamal Hassan will be a tall dream for any aspiring director and for Saran opportunity seems to have knocked at his door for the second time. His earlier film Vasool Raja M.B.B.S with Kamal was also a hit. Thoroughly impressed by the professionalism demonstrated by Saran during the making of Vasool Raja M.B.B.S, Kamal had promised another film with him. By accepting to do a film with the director Kamal has kept his promise. Story of the film is still kept under wraps.

Saran is naturally delighted at the prospect of directing the veteran. His production company which released Muni recently is also said to be doing good business. This unnamed film will begin after the release of Dasavatharam in June and Kamal's brief respite following the release.

Kamal's Instinct - Sounds comedy but fact

1) In 1978, his Tamil movie "Sivappu Rojakal" got released. He played the role of a Psychopath killer (femicide).One year later, a guy called Psycho Raman was caught for brutally murdering people especially women.
2) In 1988, kamal played the role of a unemployed youth in the movie "Sathya". In 89-90's our country faced lot of problems due to unemployment.

3) In 1992, his blockbuster movie "Devar Magan" got released. Its a village based subject. There will be some scenes portraying communal clashes. Exactly a year later in 1993, there were many communal clashes in southern districts.

4) We all know in 1996 many people in our country was cheated by finance companies. Our Kamal Hasan has clearly depicted this in his movie "mahanadhi" which got released in 1994 itself.

5) In "heyram"(2000), there are some scenes relating to Hindu Muslim clashes . We all know 2 years later, godhra(Gujarat riots) incident happened.

6) He used a word called 'tsunami' in his movie "Anbesivam"(2003).The word 'tsunami' was not known to many people before. In 2004, 'tsunami' stuck the east coast of our country and many people lost their lives.

7) In his latest movie "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu "(2006) there are two characters called ila&amudhan who played the roles of psychopath killers. After 3 months of release of the movie, the noida serial killing came to light (moninder/sathish)

Kalai Kaavalar Padmashree Dr.Kamal Haasan and Kerala Police:

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala police have cast their charm-offensive dragnet in the site teeming with icons that attract agreeable publicity: filmdom.

The force, which is celebrating its golden jubilee along with Kerala�s first communist government, is not partial to desi or even regional ambassadors of goodwill. Indeed, a film festival of police stories, scheduled next week in Thiruvananthapuram, will deploy Kamal Haasan, Om Puri, and Denzel Washington in a mission to bring the public closer to the force.

�The idea is to showcase the service rendered by the Kerala police to the public in the 50 years of its existence,� said Arun Kumar Sinha, south zone inspector-general, who is in charge of the jubilee�s publicity. �We are planning to strengthen the public-police interaction through the festival.�

Sinha said the festival�s film list is not ready yet, but it seems the broad thematic concern has been settled. �We will screen films that are based on true police operations,� he said.

Some apt suspects are said to have been identified by the department for its fraternising endeavour. Ram Gopal Varma�s Company and Govind Nihalani�s Ardh Satya will be the draftees from Bollywood. Kamal Haasan�s Kuruthipunal and Vaettaiyady Vilauyadu will offer a reassuring southern voice, while The Bone Collector, starring Denzel Washington, will come from Hollywood on cultural deputation.

Curiously, the police have shunned homemade police sagas. Suresh Gopi�s police films, which had been huge hits in the state for its anti-establishment rhetoric and �out-of-the-way� manhandling scenes, have been cold-shouldered by the selection committee.

�Police officers are depicted as shady characters in most films,� said S Vijayan, deputy superintendent, who has been assigned the task of identifying the movies. �We are presenting a few films that show sincere police officers.� The festival will run from April 18 to 21.

The force is also using non-fiction to facilitate community building. An exhibition providing insights into all police wings � crime, forensic, finger-printing, and cyber crime � will be organised during the jubilee.

I watched Kamal's film ten times"

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

April 9, 2007

The career graph of Bharath is certainly on an enviable track for any upcoming actor. Right from the beginning of his career, he has been associated with popular banners and directors. After Veyil's success, it will be Koodal Nagar for Bharath where he gets to play double roles for the first time.

After this film, the talented actor is involved simultaneously in two projects viz. Nepali and Killadi. While talking about his role in Nepali, Bharath says, "Kamal is my source of inspiration for Nepali. I have seen his 'enakkul oruvan' where he has acted as a Nepali. I have very keenly observed his mannerisms, body language in the film which I have watched at least ten times". Though his twin projects are simultaneously coming up, he said that he would space them up and ensure that there is at least two to three months of interval between his releases. Readers may recall that his Chennai Kaadal and Veyil were released at the same time.

Kamal lauds judiciary!

By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 14 April , 2007, 11:40

Kamal Hassan lauded the judiciary as a fair and just institution, in a press statement issued by him. The actor had made these comments after a writer had accused him of plagiarism regarding the story of Dasavatharam. However the claim was dismissed by the Madras High Court.

Kamal in his statement said- “We are glad that our trust in our legal system and its justice has been vindicated. We are proud that we did not entertain such lumpen and rightfully took recourse to the law and our legal system.”

Kamal always had the sneaking suspicion that this was the job of an “industry insider” who was behind the episode. Added Kamal :”All I can say is shame on such men, kudos, to our legal system. Once again they have stood by truth and upheld justice.”

Then they should go after all the shows that make fun of classic movies. Yesterday, in Super 10, they spoofed Nayakan and Badsha and trashed the Indian Cricket team. What do they say about that?

I think we should take it in good humour. My complain will be that there are better way to spoof those films in good taste. They should protest the bad taste, not the actors. Kamal and NT's fame, popularity and talent has not gone down because of this silly show.

KB's words for kamal on the event of kamal getting Living Legend Award

Quote:

nan state award vaangina adutha varusham kamal state award vaanguvar,
nan filmfare award vaangina adutha varusham kamal state award vanguvaar,
nan kalaimaamani award vanginen adutha varusham kamal vanginar,
na padmashree vanginen adutha varsham kamal vanginar...
ennada pinnalaiye variye, enna potiya nu ketten...
apram avar pala award vangittar, athu ennala mudiyathu nu umpire madhiri ninthuten

summarising that - whenever KB got some award, kamal followed the league, next year, after few awards, kb asked kamal in a happily funny way that"are you following me in those awards, like a competitors???!!!" but at later stage, he got so many awards which i didnt get, so i just stood like an Umpire (whereas kamal is giving century over century)

Seems like sarans movie with kamal is dropped

http://www.dinakaran.com/cinema/bits/default.asp

Actually Saran had given 2 Crores advance and made an agreement that he would give Aandavar part of the salary in the form of rights for AP, Satellite and FMS(Overseas) but since he was being threatened and pressurized by a Madurai Katta Panchayathu financier (incidentally, to whom GV owed money before he died) to repay the money Saran had taken for Muni. At that time, Ayngaran had helped Saran and hence the Kamal film rights were given to Ayngaran and of course, Aandavar was kept in the dark about all this. Hence, to avoid another "VV", this project has been dropped.

I see these kind of requests here adn there. For information sake i am asking, do you know how to read tamil?

I think reading \ writing in tamil is an important aspect for any Kamal fan who had grown up in tamilnadu. If not, then i am sorry

Thanks c4ramesh!

Joe could u pls summarise those articles in english pls Crying or Very sad

Thanks a million

I am damn and very lousy in my tamil...I take very long to read even a small article in tamil

and it sure will be accompanied by some mistakes here and there

But I am not a Kamal fan born in Tamilnadu, but a Kamal fan born in Singapore hence the situation of my tamil knowledge.

Another update from bala(thinkfloyd)

Oru nalla news nu paartha innoru not-so-nalla news...
Gemini Circuit Films (L.V Prasad's grandson) have approached Aandavar for Lage Raho remake, for which they have already bagged the rights.
Aandavar's initial question was "yen thiruppiyum idhaye panreenga?" and he also expressed apprehensions about the commercial viability (no market in AP/Karnataka/Hindi because remake already made).... Still, he has not said a final NO yet, which is worrisome... Also, fortunately, the payment this production house is offering is a pittance which means we can hope this deal won't materialize...

Apart from this, there are 2 other producers who are negotiating, including the NRI producer... Director Bala's name came up (Aandavar brought up his name) but he has been warned of the time Bala takes... Another producer was dropped because his offer was nowhere near Aandavar's proposed salary.

So, Aandavar's next film will be with whoever makes the first (agreed) payment - Gemini, X (whose name i will reveal later and also the salary which has gone a GOOD notch) and the NRI producer.

And getting a suitable young director..That way, the young blood in tamil cinema can learn a lot from him..and they can put that in CAPS in their CV..what say, guys?

My preferred order would be:
Bala
Selva Raghavan

Actor Kamal hassan is the Producer for Director Kamalhassan.

So it won't be happen for next 5 years.

And IMO Other than few young directors in the current, no can give a very good role to Kamal's acting skill.

So Director Kamal would be the best person to get Most of the acting skills of an actor.

Kannan,

To me Bala is one of the most overrated director and I get irritated when I see the hype created for him (this as much as the hype created for Vikram). I dont understand what is great about his movies. And his all three films - Sethu, Nantha and Pithamagan - to me did not make any sense and Nandha being the most irritating movie I have ever seen. Laila was potrayed as almost a loosu character and Surya's mother character was simply sickening. All what he does is to create an abnormal role like a mentally retarded Sethu, or a some nutty characters like Laila and Surya's mother in Nandha and similarly in Pithamagan. That's how he manipulates and I am sure it wouldnt work well with Kamal. And I simply dont want to see Kamal playing those kind of meaningless abnormal roles.

He is yet to prove himself as a fulfledged director, by giving an effective and strong story - with ordinary characters ( similar thing applies to Vikram). Only then he could be called good I would say.

PS: I was very happy for Ajith - when he got out of 'naan kadavuL' project.

"The amount of special effects involved in Kamal Hassan's Dasavatharam is humungous and never before has such magnitude of visual effects been attempted in any Indian film ever" - Ashmith Kunder
By IndiaFM News Bureau, April 19, 2007 - 05:41 IST

He got his degree in Engineering and after the completion of the course he realized that engineering was not for him. He then turned towards what he really wanted to do, Films. We are talking about Ashmith Kunder who is one of the most sought after film editor in Bollywood.

He has edited Matrubhoomi: Nation without Women which won many awards globally; Kamal Hassan's Mumbai Xpress and is currently working on Hassan's ambitious magnum opus Dasavatharam where Mr. Kamal Hassan essays 10 roles. Ashmith is also editing Shemaroo's animation flick, Ghatothkach - Master of Magic.

Ashmith is also an esteemed and the youngest jury member on the panel of Indian Telly awards. And yes, the younger brother of Jaan-E-Mann director Shirish Kunder and Farah Khan's pampered brother-in-law.

In an exclusive interview to IndiaFM, Ashmith Kunder talks about his life, film career and future plans.

How did your film career start?
After I completed my graduation in engineering, I worked for Siemens. Few months into the job and I could take it no more! I chucked my job and decided to pursue what I believed was my calling. I joined a studio as an apprentice editor, obviously working without any salary! There I worked on various documentaries, music videos, ad films and TV shows. Later, when my brother Shirish Kunder turned independent film editor, I joined him. That was the beginning of my career in film editing.

Did you take special training from some institute?
No� I learnt everything while on the job, and from innumerable books & films!

Which was your first project as an editor?
My first film was Manish Jha's, Matrubhoomi: Nation without Women. It went on to win dozens of awards at various festivals across the globe and also got me many accolades!

Then how did you move on to create your own editing set up?
To avoid waiting endlessly for studio bookings & edit without unnecessary disturbances I decided to put up my own editing set up. Also, I felt that my directors felt reassured that they had a dedicated machine at their disposal and also other clients at the studio were not peeping at their film when they were not around!

What are the responsibilities/roles of a film editor in today's times? Have the things changed in past few yrs?
The primary responsibilities of the editor have remained the same�that of giving shape to the directors vision. But with giant leaps being taken on the technological front, complexities and responsibilities of the editor's work profile has increased. But obviously the end result, which can be achieved, is phenomenal and makes it worth the effort!

You also edit ad-films.
Yes�I have edited numerous ad films such as Coke, Pepsi, Sunfeast, Himani, Videocon etc.

What are the projects that you are working on currently?
I do not believe in doing 10 films at a time and taking up all the films that come my way! I believe in being exclusive and concentrating and giving my best shot to a few selected projects.

I am presently working on Kamal Haasan's magnum opus, Dasavatharam and the animation flick, Ghatothkach - Master of Magic, being made in 8 languages. Renowned filmmaker Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, who had earlier made classics like Appu Raja & Pushpak, is directing it.
What is Dasavatharam about? Tell us something about the film?
Dasavatharam is an edge of the seat roller coaster entertainer where Mr. Kamal Hassan essays 10 roles. The amount of special effects involved is humungous and never before has such magnitude of visual effects been attempted in any Indian film ever. And that makes my job a lot more arduous as well!

The film boasts mostly of an international crew, with action directors, Special visual effect directors and makeup men from all over the world! With this film I feel I have gained such tremendous knowledge of special effects that I can take on any complex project.

The amount of special effects involved in Dasavatharam is humungous and never before has such magnitude of visual effects been attempted in any Indian film ever.
Why does Kamal Hassan always go for you to edit his films?
He is very demanding; precision and quality is what he expects. I guess it's because, I deliver the results he demands irrespective of whatever the adversities are! Apart from the fact that we share a terrific rapport, it has always been a matter of privilege and pride for me to work with him.

Hmm.. you have a point there about pithamagan. I didn't like it at all. Same goes for Laila character in Nanda. But as sakala pointed out, he was quite good in Sethu and Nanda.

He indeed needs to prove himself with normal stories. After Naan Kadavul, we'll know what he is really capable of.

Bala is flawed and pretentious..but who isn't in Tamil cinema??? Pithamagan-Vikram character is probably the most overhyped characters of all. But what about Surya in the same movie..He can frame good supporting roles in his movies.. And believe me, if he joins hands with Kamal, it could actually do good things for him..

You are one good person who can generalise things very well and interpret things as per your own convenience

(BTW show me where I have mentioned GM as periya director) Please check the top 10 ever thread and see whether you can find GM in my tope 10 directors list.

IMO - Bala is one of the most overated directors and his films make no sense to me. I bet that he can never make an effective story with ordinary characters. And sorry I dont analyse or rate movies based on other people's opinion, rather it is based on what I feel or what impact the movie creates on me

As I said earlier I would be happier if Kamal does not work with Bala at all.

Like Sivakumar,his wife in Sethu...Nanda's Conman/burglar in Karunas was great. Pithamagan Characters like Sangeetha�s, Surya�s, Karunas�, Mano bala�s were pretty good. I think he has developed in framing supporting roles more and interestingly quite opposite with the lead roles, it has become worse..

But seriously, you don't like Vikram's performance in Sethu too? Thats probably the only protagonist role in all Bala movies that I liked. His other movies generally suffer from over-the-top overblown magnitude of acting..Like Surya (and yeah, his mom) in Nanda, Vikram in Pithamagan..

Moreover some parts of his movies were better than the whole stuff in display.. What do you think? Like the whole con angle in Pithamagan was much better than the typical revenge stuff with an extraordinary chimp-kind of an undertaker..Again, there are people who believe its great..Somehow I don't like it.. Jaiganesh's post looked convincing but still, I think the character should have convinced me.

Nope, Kamal wouldn't play meaningless lead roles but he can help/guide Bala in that regard.. That's why I said, it could actually do good things for Bala

"Nothing done in India has come close to Dasavatharam" – Ashmith Kunder

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

April 20, 2007

When Kamal Hassan invites someone for a job, the person is certain to feel elated. But when he calls him again, one can rest assured that the credentials of the person in question are sure to be blemish free. We are talking about renowned editor Ashmith Kunder who had earlier worked with Kamal in Mumbai Express and is currently involved in his magnum opus Dasavatharam.

While talking about the film and the experience of working with Kamal, the editor is obviously in awe of the actor and his perfection. He says that Dasavatharam is shaping up very well and the huge amount of special effects used in the film will be a treat. "Nothing done in India has come close to this one. It's humungous and it was definitely challenging". According to him the film also boasts some of the best in the action and make up department.

"Arguably the biggest production in India till date, if you just look at the cost of the film making alone", states the technician. He is also very proud about the fact that he has earned the confidence and trust of Kamal Hassan and is extremely delighted to work with him.

yosika vendiya vishyam daan..But don't you think all young directors now need some guidance..they are pretty bad in their own way. But sure, would like to see Kamal "the scriptwriter and director".. Which directors do you think are better than Bala? I don't think Cheran is any better. another sentimentally cliched director.. Selva Raghavan is definitely not a bad choice but he seem to like eccentric roles. Would be interesting and moreover, he is a self-proclaimed KH fan.. Ameer is another big KH fan..He should be having some interesting thoughts too.. I feel Tamil cinema is at a low point right now, very few good movies then and there. When Kamal could use Sundar C in Anbe sivam..these young directors could do a lot and learn a lot from Kamal's vision..Thats why, I am hoping for a young director..

Disagree.

With Bala -and in particular Pithamagan - people seem to either love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground.

Pithamagan had its several moments thanks solely to Bala. The atmosphere of death hangs around repelling all of us except Sidhan. I was positively nauseous when the young SidhAn in the oversized shirt is eating the rice next to the burning ghat.

That to me is an example of what Bala is all about. That one passing scene in a song is extremely unreal. If you are balanced enough you would say, that's just milking emotion. No vettiyAn is going to be dining next to the pyre. Well this one does. And even that's not the point. The fact that he rocked people (like me) off balance suspending such questions is the victory.

I even remember the force in the parotta shop fight and the one is the lock up. Makes you feel uncomfortable for the broken necks. This is after beiung inured for years seeing Rajini to Ramarajan twist goodas necks as if they were bottle caps to be screwed open.

The novelty of death wears out and stops affecting us till Surya is killed. Vikram's standing unfazed was indeed a curious reaction and I was quite perplexed. Was even with Sangeetha when she shoos him off. But the next scene, with Vikram discovering death through shook me up. It is when the previous sequences make sense and suddenly the movie stands up huge all of a sudden.

Bala, IMO, had done a tremendous job of setting things up for explosion. Any second grade director, doyens included, would have cut to flashes of a laughing Sakthi, to unbderline the loss etc (irony, that old thing that sells). Bala scores the loss through the skull and Siddhan's response to it.

I had problems with Pithamagan only due to Sithan's characterization. A feral man in the midst of civilization was utterly unconvincing. I accept that the initial scenes jolt the viewers, but by the interval, Sithan starts to get on our nerves.

Hmm... he makes an impact precisely because of the wierdos that he picks. In fact that is what I find interesting about him.

I have already said that Bala is good. Most directors have a pet theme and I don't mind if Bala continues to choose such themes for his movies. My point that he should prove himself with normal stories was with respect to the speculation that he might direct Kamal next. We have had enough weirdo portrayals by him.

Nerd, you sau GM overrated and Bala is ok. You also mention Gm's word during his interview like "o film like this, tech is too good "ect,......yes he said this but this didnt make him overrated....

but if u still say his is overrated, theni would say same apply to bala. he wrote a big series in vikatan wich has lot of self boastings....

he didnt give ane film for past 3 yrs and his last pithamagan is almost a crap. pithamaganukku illaatha over-hypeaa?? on that regard there were no extra-hype for VV. it was only deserved hype.....

VV looks like a commercial masala but it has lot of good logic intelligence visuals art BGM presentation ect in it...i rate VV as an above Average movie and PKMC not bad though.

apart,. everyone are overrated sometime, like Rajni during baba, and kamal during aalavanthaan. who is not.....

GM is surely deservedto do another movie with kamal and he is in the important list of potential best directors among today's

Hi PR Welcome Back !!

Enna thideernu kaaNaama pOyiteenga ?

As regards Pitha Magan - with all respect to your views, I have to again stress that the movie did not impress me at all - except for Surya's performance and I would certainly credit that to Surya rather than to Bala, as Surya can perform such a role with a lot of ease ( Eg: Mayavi and he even had some shades of it in his very earlier movie poovellaam kEttuppAr).

I first watched it at the time of release (nalla vELai - VCD la thaan pArthEn) and after seeing all those overhyped reviews and some different views from people like you, I again sat last week to watch it when it was shown on SUN TV. To be frank the movie tested my patience much more than what it did during the first viewing and at one point I started switching on channels and getting back to see only when Surya appeared. Every time I saw Vikram I was cursing the National Award selection panel. The role itself was unrealistic and as such EthO thaamarai ilai thanneerpOl kadaisivarai oru feeling and despite all efforts to milk emotions it hardly created an impact ( and I am a person who easily gets moved even with fraction-of-a-second touchy scenes ).

As you rightly said with Bala -and in particular Pithamagan - people seem to either love it or hate it. There seems to be no middle ground and I think I fall into the 2nd category - and thats why I do not want to take a chance watching KH in a Bala movie

sakala,

I was talking about the QUALITY of the movies. Let them talk/boast or whatever. Bala is million times better than GM when it comes to quality scripts/charecterizations etc.., Bala has sEthu, pithAmagan and nandha in his resume whereas GM has a mediocre VV, half-good KK and a timepass minnalE and dud PKMC under his belt. So there

Agree about this.

In fact I seem to be pretty uncomfortable when Kamal is in a non-Kamal film. IMO he has to write and direct (either actively himself or alongside KSR, Santhanabarathy etc.).

I have a very meagre opinion about Gautham Menon. And was very wary that Kamal was working with him. VV did little to change my opinion. I'm pretty glad the Saran movie got scrapped.

Post Dasavatharam I hope he gets more open to his roles as producer/writer. Even simple sillies like Nala Damayanthi from the Rajkamal stable, would be good.

I am a bit different. I prefer him working with other directors other than KSR, Santhanabarathy et al as I think they can bring out something different from him - like what we saw in VV - that simple and subtle performance yet difficult for any other actor. Antha character paakumpOthu - EthO romba easy role maathiri theriyum - but I felt it was one of the most difficult roles - to which only Kamal can do justice.

Btw, Bala is definetly one of the good directors of Tamil cinema.

I liked his sethu and Pithamagan very much ,but not Nandha.

IMO,Surya's performance in Pithamagan is one of the over hyped .It was surely very good ,but not extrodinary as potrayed by many.

2003 Jan was Anbe Sivam. It must have been in contention for the 2003 awards. (Ajay Devgan won for Bhagat Singh).

Late 2003 was Pithamagan
2004 Jan was Virumaandi.
These two were in the season contending for the 2004 awards. I distinctly remember reading that Vikram pipped Kamal by one vote and that Irfan Khan came a distant third (for Maqbool).

1. I completely agree. (When I say completely agree, it doesn't mean hatred towards Bala, infact it means what type of actor has he bought. Only Sethu was notable but in that too Vikram copies Kamal. Most of the films of Vikram, I see him copying Kamal a lot.). So how can Vikram be called a worth actor. Lets wait for some more movies from Vikram and then decide whether he is worthy or not.

2. Infact, Bala should feel for missing out on Ajith.

Yes Ofcourse. But this is Same for Vikram too. But In Pithamagan surya stole the show and bring the house down. Without Surya ,Pithamagan would have become a dud in BO.

Although they are all flawed, pretentious and dependant on their territory, they should first start experimenting more.

Like Bala's weirdo protagonist has clearly become stale..Cheran runs with sentiments, although porkalam and Bharathi kannama should have done it, he still does it (and adds the family sentiments).. Mayakkanadhi should have been a reality check.. Ameer has the signs and one director who is frank about his work.. From his interviews, I can tell you he is determined.. Selva Raghavan's movies are based on eccentric roles..

And finally, we also get few good movies then and there like Kanda naal mudhal from PR's productions..

But none of this could match movies from the older generation..The golden Big B's period (Balachander, Balu mahendra, Bharathi Raja). SSR, Santhana bharathi (okay KH) came into fore later.. Kamal haasan has taken over with two tremendous films in Hey ram and Virumandi..Anbe Sivam is more a KH product than Sunder C.

J. Mahendran, S.P Muthuraman were making good products back then before they became pathetic..

KH's vision should be a guiding light for this new Generatione.. So I wouldn't mind if any of them works with him..

Now Why bring Ajith-Bala feud here? Ajith might be better of without Bala's help while Bala could also fail with Naan kadavul as Arya 'mundam' can't act for nuts.. any one with little bit semblance of knowing Tamil cinema should be knowing Ajith is a much better choice than Arya.. vidunga.. some misunderstanding, I guess..

Vikram's best role so far is Sethu..But pithamagan was crap..End of story..While he often ruins the role.. Just because the coordinates of the roles are different, it doesn't make him a great actor.. He is getting worse in my opinion. But I don't know what others feel about him..

Surya owes his career to both Gautam and Bala. Kaakha kaakha is much better than the stereotyped Nanda..But pithamagan is just the best I've seen in terms of his screen presence without being serene or having his dad Sivakumar's hangover.. Credit to Bala..

Young Bharath is one of the promising actor around..

DASA CLIMAX COSTS 6 CRORES!

MUMBAI: Producer V. Ravichandran is spending Rs 60 million (Rs 6 crores) to can the climax sequences of his Telugu film Dasavtharam. The film stars Kamal Haasan as the protagonist.

Sources close to the development say, "In this film, Kamal Haasan portrays 10 different roles. The climax requires the presence of all the 10 characters played by Kamal Haasan. The special effects of the movie will be done in the US."

Dasavtharam co-stars Asin, Mallika Sherawat, Jaya Prada and Napoleon. Himesh Reshammiya has provided the musical score for this film.

Another interesting piece of news that has emerged is that veteran actors Nagesh (a Kamal favourite) and KR Vijaya have been paired for the first time in this movie

apart, as i said below.....

Appadi Podunga AruvaaLa! Very Happy

Quote:

we are discussing who will be the right person.........but kamalji would be looking for what will be the right story.......so i am ok whoever he selects. his selection will mean us that the person x, whom would be selected had come up witha good storyline......

personally i feel bala is more of a banthaa balaa......3 yrs and still no releases.

But in Kaadhal Kondein, if you see the role of Dhanush, the love (It dealt with sleaze matter) portrayed by the director was completely different from that portrayed by the director in Guna (Who is the director? Is it Kamal himself or Santhana Bharathi). But in Guna, the veri thanamaana kaadhal is totally starting from the devotion stage to the actress. Yes he is possessive about the relationship but it is pure love and not sleaze matter or it didn't show or portray that atleast.

From: Roshan on Tue Apr 24 2:40:41 2007.

Ameer - OK .No wonder he is Bala's assistant

he was original and his caracters were more natural in Mounam pesiathe, raam and paruthth veeran.

Just because he gave a good movie like Paruthiveeran - rating Mounam Pesiyathe and Ram as good is not agreeable. Mounam Pesiayathe is just a below average stuff and I dont understand what was so great about Ram ( another meaningless weirdo role ). And climax sollavE vEnaam. A huge build up is given regarding Saranya's murder and we start expecting something really different but finally - uppu chappillaatha oru reason. In my opinion Iyarkai and EE were far better movies than Mounam Pesiyathe and Ram vagaiyaraa.

This is the great mistake most of the audience usually commit. Oru padam hit-Anaa athukku munnaadi direct paNNa saadha padam ellAtheyum OhO range-ku koNdu pOrathu, illEnnaa oru padam failure aanaa - athukku monnAdi vantha antha directOrada nalla padangaLa - sariyillEnno solli criticise paNNurathu. Good examples are Ameer and Cheran. I have been here in this hub even during Autograph and TT release and everybody was pouring their praise about those movies and there were hardly any negatives spoken. The moment Cheran's Maya Kannadi failed all his previous movies - including the great ones like Barathi Kannamma and Potkaalam are seen as ordinary ones.

Raam had the weirdo role but performance was good. equate this with pithamagan. it will look equal.

paruthiveeran was good and no need to retrait this. all this qualify ameer to join this group

GM - some ppl underrate him for reasong unknown. his potetial is well visible with VV. i hate ppl who say VV is a mediocre - (intentional)ignorance at bliss. his minnaley was a crap but KK VV and PKMC all had good stuff. i dont care abt PKMC source. he was honest to accept that and impossibilities of buying a legal rights of originals were discussed. others (like selva) were not ready to accept this 'inspiration'. that itself makes GM personally a good person.

Jananaathan of Eyarkai and EE too is a good director with stuff,

see, i say all these to tell that they are more or less equal. these guys pass in semi-finals. but to pass finals, you must have a good story. and that neednot have anything to do with their past credits. all are eligible to meet Dr.Kamal with a story. thast my point.

My Choice for KH would be "Selvaragavan"

TI, KK, 7G and PP will make his resume interesting at any day.
I think it requires lot of GUTS to give a movie like TI in tamil cinema. I did like the movie since it didn't had anything forced on the audience.
KK - Good movie with neat presentation. I agree that it was indeed inspired from GUNA. But the execution was good.
7G - My favorite Selva movie. Beauty of his is portraying real life romance. Character of "Kathir" is a neat example of a mad lover.

PP - Though I didn't like this movie, I saw many appreciating this one. I don't think it will be factor which will stand b/w him in directing a KH movie

Roshan,
I think MOUNAM PESIYATHE is underrated IMO. It was a poetic love story with enough twists and turns. I rate that one ABOVE PV !
Ofcourse, MP won't match "IYarkai"

Ram & E - Are O.K type of movie IMO !

I agree that Cheran has given good movies like BharathiKannamma which triggered people of a community to stop the screening of the movie in our town. Such was the impact created ! (I didn't see this kind of effect for PV even)

Yes. In the name card, You will see KR. But it was SELVA who actually directed the film. Many think that only story and screenplay was done by SELVA.

It is not like that. KR did directed 50% of the movie which was THROWN to the BIN by SELVA. Later on, he only directed the complete movie and finished it since he didn't like the way KR directed it !

From: Roshan on Tue Apr 24 4:07:35 2007.

You may have not underated him before PV but at the same time, like with many I think his Mounam PesiyathE and Ram wouldnt have been given this much of recognition before PV release. Thats what I felt with your post. I see people mentioning about Mounam Pesiyathe and Ram more - after PV release, which is not a healthy thing I feel.

If Long-gelled hair, widened eyes, keeping the face serious and the body like a wood all the time and speaking in base voice is what you call 'good acting' - I am sorry I beg to differ with you. That character doesnt need any extra talent. Even an actor like Jeven could have done the same if not better than what Jeeva has done.

Eventhoug I am not convinced with Pithamagan character, I simply cannot equate both. It has a lot of difference.

Equal I agree but they have just passed the preliminary level and proved that they have potential. There is a long way for them to get to the semi final stage. With 3 or so movies (that too with one or two hits) I dont think any body can be considered to have passed semi finals. World cup term-la sollurathunna - they have just got into the super eights and they have to win at least three matches there, to see whether they are capable of getting into the semi finals.

Well, Gautham supplies his own reasons. Kaakka Kaakka was not flawless, but it was interesting and stylish in parts. Minnale, if not anything else, was unpretentious time-pass. VV had its good parts, but it came across as very conscious about being stylish. Kamal, would have felt pretty odd, reading that script. I recall one of the deleted scenes psoted here a couple of days back. Someone going jabber-jabber talking about the villains' details for a good minute and more. Thankfully it was snipped (I'm guess Kamal may have had a say in deleting that scene). To have conceived and created such a scene speaks a lot about the writer/director.

PR, not only kakka kakka, even pithamagan - the film u ppl call great & even BO spinnedr CM was flawful. we hav to skip this point

I did not bring the interviews until you asked me where did GM boast about himself. Fullstop.

The titles, ulaganaayagan, super *, ultimate * etcc., is completely different from the content of the films that a director brings out. A director is overrated if his films get a lot of acclaim or if he is very popular but most of his films are trash. This thing fits GM more than bala.

And on your comparison, I guess simbu is over-rated, calling himself little super star

And well, yes GM can direct KH, who cares. I thought with bAlA his next movie would be MUCH better

His SOL-VV comparisionis not a sin. it is not even near over-rating. lot of direc's does that. even kamal repeated that! they created the script and they would have thought some aspects were in theline of that movie. thastall and no overrating.

for me, bala is no great than GM and all the new bunch of direc is almost same. so. none of them had god awards for their direc\sceenplay ect. so it all depends on the story they take to KH

Both Kamal and Rajini are not overrated if you call them superstars. Kamal has an equal claim for that right, because they ARE currently THE ONLY superstars of the Tamil Film industry. Kamal should have rejected UlagaNayagan title which to me sounds overrated...but he didn't. But that is a different issue. They are the two best, they can do anything they want.

As everyone said, let's stick to the subject of the thread.

Groucho,
I am also for Super Star Title and against Ulaganayagan title ..But here sakala got a point ..Kamal never used any title other than 'PadmaSree Kamal Hassan' in his own production ..It is KSR put Ulaganayagan in his production and kamal never used that.

From: Roshan on Wed Apr 25 2:56:17 2007.

There is a great artiste in Bala. And GM is a great technician who knows how to draw the best out of his crew.

For repeated viewing, I'd watch GM. As for Bala, once is good enough.

Simple and Straight ! I am 100% with Groucho on this

Being said that, kamal didnt spoonfeed Gm, and as per reports, he pointed somethings whch are not correct and its gautam who came up with alternatives. successfully he convinced kamal. what yore a kamalfan will expect?

The overall impression I got from the interviews during the making of the film and ex-post was that 'Kamal wanted out'. I can't point out where exactly in words if something of that sort was said. But that is the impression I got, that Kamal wanted to get it over with.

Kamal's 'suggestions' are something I have to come demand now

. I like Indian less precisely because it is more a Shankar film than a Kamal film.

Regarding Bala v Gautham I think Joe is right. It is going nowhere.

PR, poster design ok i accept its for fun....

why i made that fun is, i read frm GM int - GM gave the script which directly starts the story, no intro fight song scene ect. Kamal said that, later in the movie, the hero-vilain will get into cat-mouse game where the hero's credentials\powers aren't explained to audience. thats what kamal said and its GM who went back and came up with a superb intro scene which aroused everyone's curiosity in very biggening itself....likewise i didnt feel GM is to be spoonfed. thatswhy that fun..........hope it answers all

Yeah SKV and I like it that better that way. The more thalaiyeedu/arivurAi/mErpArvai from Kamal the better.

On to a new thing.

Today I found something I have been searching for 7 years for.
This is the meaning of the sanyAsa manthram chanted in hEy rAm.

So yaam petra inbam....

In the knowledge of the self may I attain eternal bliss
As I travel towards the Supreme Soul may I transcend attributes of the Self
Towards the Eternal, the Pure all-pervasive Omniscience I travel
I seek to transcend emotion,sense and desire.
So help me, Lord

Beyond the cycles of birth and death
Beyond life
Beyond the boundaries of my mind
Beyond the darkness
Beyond my perceptions Thou art
Thee, I behold in the form of a Swan
To Thee I pray for enlightenment

Enlightenment, thou shalt receive by dint of thy Self
Make pure thy body and mind
For the path leads to solitude

This is definitely not a word for word translation. The last stanza in particular is too short and is missing some of the cue words I was looking for, which I thought might help connect the interspersing of the stanzas and the letter's paragraphs better. EdhO kidaicha varaikkum sandOsham.

Add me to the list of ppl who feel Bala&Ameer are overrated.I have not seen Paruthiveeran but MP&Raam were nothing great.

As for Bala,I have seen all 3 of his films&felt all of them were pretty average stuff.Yes,he is not your regular commercial director like Dharani but his execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Personally I feel Bala+KH=Disaster.

If there is one guy I would want KH to work with it's Selvaraghavan.

But the best thing would be for him to script/direct a movie with someone else playing the lead.

Nerd:To each his opinion,you feel great about Bala but Sakala,Roshan,myself&other's don't.Just leave it at that.

வைரமுத்து கேள்வி பதில் -குமுதம்

கேள்வி :யாரோ கதை எழுத, யாரோ இசையமைக்க, யாரோ பாட்டெழுத, யாரோ இயக்க, கடைசியில் நடிகர்கள் தானே பேரும் பணமும் வாங்குகிறார்கள்... அநியாயமில்லையா?

ஒரு சம்பவம் சொல்கிறேன் :

படம் : கைதியின் டயரி

இடம் வாகினி அரங்கம். பாரதிராஜா இயக்கத்தில் இது ரோசாப் பூவு என்ற பாடலின் படப்பிடிப்பு. அடுத்த பாடலைக் கொடுக்கச் சென்ற நான் ஓரமாய் நின்று வேடிக்கை பார்க்கிறேன். அந்தரத்தில் ஒரு கூண்டு. அதில் இரண்டு தட்டு, மேல்தட்டில் கனமான நடிகை (அனுராதா) ; கீழ்த்தட்டில் கமல், ரெடி டேக் என்றதும் டிராலியில் கேமரா உற்சவிக்கிறது ; உறுமி மேளத்திற்கேற்பக் கூண்டு சுற்றுகிறது. மேல்தட்டு மங்கை ஆடத் தொடங்கிய அடுத்த நொடி அந்தரத்தில் ஆடிய கூண்டு அறுந்து விழுகிறது. யாத்தே! பாரதிராஜா பதறுகிறார். அய்யோ நான் அலறுகிறேன்.

நண்பா! மூச்சு இருக்கிறதா? இல்லையா? உடைந்து சிதறிய கூண்டுக்கடியில் நெஞ்சில் நடிகையின் பாரம்தாங்கி அசைவின்றிக் கிடக்கிறார் கமல். யாரும் நகரவில்லை. ஒரு மயான மௌனம் காது கிழிகிறது. சற்று நேரத்தில் மெல்ல அசைந்து தானே எழுந்துகைகால் உதறி நடந்து என்னை மட்டும் கண் ஜாடையில் அழைத்துக் கொண்டு வெளியே வருகிறார் கமல். எப்படி பாரம் தாங்கினீர்கள்? என்றேன் நான். தன் வயிற்றைக்காட்டி குத்துங்கள் என்றார். குத்தினேன் வயிற்றில் மெதுவாக, குத்துங்கள் என்றால் பலமாக, ஓங்கிக் குத்தியபோது கல்லாய் இறுகிக் கிடந்தது உதரவிதானம். இழுத்த மூச்சை இறுக்கிக்கட்டிப் பாரம் தாங்கியிருக்கிறார். பிறகுதான் மூச்சு விட்டோம் இருவரும். தொழில் நுட்பக்கலைஞன் பெரும்பாலும் மூளையைப் பணயம் வைக்கிறான் ; நடிகன் _ உயிரையே.

Seems like sarans movie with kamal is dropped

http://www.dinakaran.com/cinema/bits/default.asp

Actually Saran had given 2 Crores advance and made an agreement that he would give Aandavar part of the salary in the form of rights for AP, Satellite and FMS(Overseas) but since he was being threatened and pressurized by a Madurai Katta Panchayathu financier (incidentally, to whom GV owed money before he died) to repay the money Saran had taken for Muni. At that time, Ayngaran had helped Saran and hence the Kamal film rights were given to Ayngaran and of course, Aandavar was kept in the dark about all this. Hence, to avoid another "VV", this project has been dropped.

There is every chance that Ayngaran may not honour Saran's promise/deal to Kamal about the AP,FMS rights etc. Since Saran was in a resource shortage, he came up with this rights as part of salary (For Dasavatharam, Kamal's salary is 8-9 crore). There are also other implications which will make another VV scenario quite likely

Sad but true - It will be P.Vasu, but the producer is Ramesh Babu (Pokkiri's producer).

P.Vasu has been pestering Kamal for a while now and he has relented

A year back, Vasu had a story titled "Valadhu Kai" for Thalaivar - a triple role subject. However, Kamal said "idhu pannina 13 role aidum, vera edhavadhu pannalaam". So Vasu will work with a new script. This will be the usual 'relaxed' films Kamal does after a heavy-wight one but the choice of P.Vasu baffles me and all fans alike

Pin Kurippu: Kodumai enna na, on recommending Selvaraghavan now, this matter came to light - it is learnt that SR had narrated some story(ies) to Kamal and the latter was not 100% satisfied it seems!!!
Not satisfied na seri, adhukkunu P.Vasu va??
The idea is to act in a movie which will be made quickly (probably one reason why he didn't chose Selva or Bala).

Who suggested P.Vasu to Kamal Sir?. Atleast Kamal would have gone with Saran for this film.

Only plus point of vasu is , he can finish the moive in scheduled time. His movies doesn't have any quality. I also heard that the movie would be like another Pasa Malar.

I hope this news is wrong. CM is a crapfest without Rajini and Vadiveloo. If his film works, it is because of the stars. I liked Malabar Police, but that is because of Sathyaraj and Goundamani.

And Kamal is soooo wrong for a P. Vasu type movie. Appadi yenna Tamizh Naattile veera film director-ee illaiyaa?

I have not seen Perarasu's work. But as much as I've criticised Vasu's work...he has done some entertaining stuff...like Nadigan. Some part of Mannan is good, even though the film should have been boycotted by feminists (as in Padaiyappa).

But those are for Rajini and Sathyaraj. Kamal is a no no.

I don't know how crappy Perarasu is...but I believe Vasu can stake claim to a little bit more quality.

If you compare the portfolio of Vasu against that of Perarasu, obviously Vasu is much better.
(Rajini-KoundaMani scenes we cool

in Mannan)
What I wanted to say is that there shall be a complete mismatch with Vasu-Kamal combo.
I have seen only one and half movies of Perarasu - the 1st one I watched just for Vijay !!

We, Kamal fans, discuss about movies with young breed of directors and he goes back to Vasu !!

That would be difficult since P. Vasu is a director who is not a new comer, he is experienced if not a veteran. Will Vasu allow that to happen given his stature? Or will kamal try to do that?

Vasu seems to be desparate to work with Kamal. How else to get CM-like success but to work with someone as big as Rajini. So, I think he'd allow himself to be dummy-fied.

Yes. Very true. Not because it's totally impossible but because Vasu's movies have cheesy relations. He can't handle the subtle emotions in a brother-sister relationship. So many movies from TR, KSR to Bhagyaraj has touched upon this relationship. They are proven damp squibs.

And finally, there is no actress right now, who could hold a flame to Saavithri. Aandavar can play Sivaji though

P.Vasu WAS pretty good at comedies. Mannan and nadigan have stood the test of times. CM's comedy was a hit among the masses. Have not seen PMS. But aNNan - thangachi sentiment will not work out these days, no matter whoever is going to direct.

From: groucho070 on Mon May 7 22:19:14 2007. [Full View]

Vasu's comedy is more slapstick and silly. With good actors, they come across good. Rajini and Sathyaraj can handle low-brow comedy well and make it work.
They usually get away, especially with Rajini, with body language and facial expressions...since the dialogues are usually lousy.

But that is not Kamal's forte. His gift for dialogue delivery, timing requires good lines and of course, Crazy Mohan is perfect. (Note that Crazy's lines did not work with Rajini in Arunachalam).

But there are many movies where PV was good in parts. And some movies like Vaelai kidaichiruchu, Nadigan, Valter vetrivel he was good as a whole too.

Leaving the stupid sentiments he handles in his movies he is not bad.

With Kamal in mind he wont be thinking about flying scenes for sure.

He few times mentioned in interviews that his ambition is to direct Kamal. Who knows he may something in store for Kamal.

Ther was an actor Rajkumar who resembled Kamal. He acted in Kadal Parisu with Kamal.
Getting confused between a star and a less popular actor is not a sin !!

Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam has been drawing a lot of curiosity not just among film-buffs but among the industry men too. Directed by K S Ravikumar, the movie features Kamal Haasan in ten different make-ups.

Rajinikanth, who was shooting for Sivaji at AVM Studios last month, went to the sets of Dasavatharam and made anxious enquiries about the movie.

Now it is the turn of Vijay.

The sought-after star of commercial cinema, Vijay visited the sets of Dasavatharam recently and called on Kamal Haasan. He made queries about the different roles being performed by Kamal Haasan.

Busy with the Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Vijay was reportedly Awe-struck with Kamal Haasan's dedication and patience at the sets.

CHENNAI: It was an evening of comedy and music. Actor Madan Bob, who started as a music director but later evolved into an actor, took centre stage, conducting his own musical night `Madan Utsav' on Sunday.

He roped in a few participants of `Asathapovathu Yaru', a programme on Sun TV with high TRP ratings. He launched the evening with recent numbers and followed it up with (g)olden melodies. The music was interspersed with humour.

The guests of honour were actor Kamal Haasan and director K.S. Ravikumar. Mr. Haasan commended Madan Bob's musical talent.

"I have come here not only to praise him but also his whole family for their work on the stage. They are a musical family."

Bob's wife Suseela, son Archith and daughter Jey are all singers.

Director K.S. Ravikumar said he was floored when music director A.R. Rahman revealed that Madan Bob was his guru. Music director Iman and Aircel CEO Bhaskar were present.

Kamal-Ameer have interesting meeting
- 16.05.2007
It is very rare to get praise from Kamal and this has happened in the case of Ameer.

After seeing 'Paruthiveeran,' Kamal invited Ameer to his office and conveyed his appreciation. This news has earlier appeared in the media. Now, Ameer has revealed what happened during that interesting meeting.

He praised Ameer Along with the praise, he added that Ameer should not rest on his laurels, as he still had a long way to go.

Kamal advised Ameer go abroad and learn more about cinema. A good advice but Ameer is not very conversant with the English language. Without any further ado, he told Ameer, "Go to Russia then. Nobody knows English there!"

This answer pleased Ameer immensely. "I like his attitude that one should never cast aside something by just saying I don't know."

People say this meeting between Kamal and Ameer could be the foundation for a film on which they could be working together. If that comes true, one can look forward to a good Tamil film!

What abt bob:
Bill Murray�s (kamal) character�.a multiphobic psychiatric patient
He follows psychiatrist Doctor (jayaram) who goes on vacation
Dr's family (devayani and kids) is happy to have him with them except the Dr
Dr has an interview for a popular TV program (raj tv) and the Dr doesn�t want Bill with him
But he ends up staying since the organizers of the show think that it will be good to have a patient along with the doctor
Bill outshines the Dr in that show
A little romance between the Dr�s sis (jothika) and Bill
Dr tries all means to get rid of Bill and finally he tries to kill him with a dynamite too
He returns home and places the dynamite in his home thinking that its dummy one used by the Dr to treat his phobia
Bill is cured and the house in blown

Actually Kamal being a HC fan of IR is not a surprise .IR travelled almost together with kamal for entire carrier ..Unlike many other actors ,kamal invloved in song composition even though he is not a director .

Once kamal explained the composition of 'KanMani anbodu' from Guna ..He explained IR what he expected ,meas he wanted the song to be unusual ,starts as a casual conversation and ends with a melody ..within a short period IR read the mind of kamal and gave a extrodinary composition ,which made kamal wonder how genious his guy is ..He said it is what exactly he wanted and IR gave it even even before kamal expressed all in his mind ..These kind of incidents made kamal to come to the conclusion IR is someone extrodinary.

To add to Joe's post, there was a program in Jaya TV called "Kalakkaporadhu Kamal" - will post the links to the audio files/transcripts later.

In that he talks about Raaja and the story of origin of a few songs:
pArtha vizhi (Guna) - This song is the only song i think in TFM in the Raaga pavani. Kamal wanted a "pulambal" kind of song like "Ka va vaa... kanda vaa vaa..". Ir came up with this brilliant song and none other than Das annan could have rendered it

inji iduppazhagi: Kamal referred to a Hindi song "Deewana hai dil" or something, with a Pallavi which repeats the words in different combinations. And Kamal said of this song "avalavu dhaan. indha madhiri venum nu ketta odane Raaja oru paattu kuduppaaru. aana adhe madhiri irukkadhu, naama ketta madhiri vera paattu kuduppaaru. avaru first indha tune a pottaru.. oru rendu vari... marakka manam kooduthillaye nu mudichaaru...naan sollitten indha paattu dhaan venum , idhu ennudhu nu"

ninaivO oru paravai: In a Filmfare Award function in Bombay, Kamal performed a short impromptu English number (forgot the song/artist. Its listed in inetk Karthik's site). Raaja used that humming part "paa pa paba paapa" in this song in Sigappu Rojakkal

Another highlight of that program was Kamal and his carnatic music guru Dr.Balamuralikrishna talking about each other

The keyword here is 'credit'. There is nobody more perfect than Kamal who can do justice to Hollywood remake. As Lavanya put it, he can comfortably outshine everyone else, and make the role his own, adding additional layer. Just wish that whoever producing those films had credited the original source. So, that those who don't know will not think that whoever wrote the story and screenplay did it himself or herself or itself.

Very true...

From: thilak4life on Wed May 23 5:05:39 2007.

Almost everyone in kollywood copied (Worst case rip-offs), adapted or sometimes inspired by other movies from different industries.

Even if they buy remakes of other regional or hindi movies..the original movies (hindi or telugu) are themselves ripped off from somewhere - mostly hollywood. So, none of the films come with novelty. Improvising them properly deserves an applause.

Ivalo yaen - Great filmmakers like kubrick adapts from different books (and those books are written with some inspiration from somewhere)..it goes on and on - So, fight club-la vara dialogue:

"Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy" thaan nyabagam varudu !

Talk about the 'final output'.

And BTW, let's not belittle original efforts - they deserve an applause for their new ideas (Aana even that would have been some form of inspiration).

Very true... Sad

It was only Kamal who called me and offered me a crucial role in Nammavar. I consider him my guru, my mentor. It was he who gave me the name Karan, saying, that name would take me a long way. And it has!

He is also Rajini's favourite actor and has been crutch to Rajini in some difficult times. But that's old story.

Both are great in their own way. It took long for Hollywood to recognise Murray and we recognised our Kamal's talent long time ago. That's the pro and con of us Tamizh movie fans. We quickly accept talents, and if they show something great we cling on to them. There are some right decisions, like being fiercly loyal to Kamal and Rajini. Alas, there has also been some unwanted loyalty....(Perai sollavaaa...athu nyayam agumaaa)

Bollywood shocked at Raaz's detention in Dubai

Film industry insiders are shocked at reports that Vijay Raaz has been detained in Dubai for reportedly carrying marijuana and say they never associated him with drugs.

Many are worried about how Raaz - who rose to reasonable fame with Ram Gopal Varma's 'Jungle' and then became famous as the wedding contractor in Mira Nair's 'Monsoon Wedding'- will find a way out of the problem.

He was detained on Sunday when he landed in Dubai to act in a Vikram Bhatt film. Says close friend and associate Saurabh Shukla who directed Raaz in 'Mudda': "I can't believe Vijay has been accused of such a thing. His wife must be devastated. His career had begun to look up. They recently bought a house and were so happy together.

"As far as I know he has never consumed any drug of any sort. Just how they found marijuana on his person is a mystery to me.

"Vijay Raaz and I started our acting career in the same theatre group Saakshi in Delhi. He then moved to the National School of Drama (NSD) in Delhi. He's a good actor and a fine human being. I can't believe he's got into such trouble!"

It isn't very clear right now what Raaz, who recently played the lead in Rajat Kapoor's 'Raghu Romeo', intends to do to clear himself.

He seems to be the latest in Bollywood's relationship with hard drugs. The first star who made history by coming out of the drug closet and then coming clean is Sanjay Dutt. He went to a drug rehabilitation centre and started his life and career afresh.

Then there was Fardeen Khan who was detained for allegedly possessing cocaine in 2001.

It isn't known which way Raaz is heading. Kamal Haasan who directed Raaz in his new film 'Mumbai Express' is shocked.

"I can't claim to know Vijay Raaz well. But whatever I know of him during 'Mumbai Express' was extremely positive. He's a good actor and a pleasant person. Not once did I feel he was on any drug. Acting seemed to be his big high. That he should be caught on the wrong foot in a place like Dubai is very unfortunate.

"(But) Whether it's you, me or Vijay Raaz...the law must take its course."

Thanks for sharing one of the rare info/article about an all-time great, Joe!

However there is one small correction in Sujatha's comment about KH. KH wouldn't have completed his 22'nd birthday by Oct' 76 . Hence 23 is incorrect!

As a child actor, he started as a "prodigy" and ended up as "genius" right in his early 20's. The roles that KH played (even during his younger days) - Most of the "seasoned" actors couldn't even imagine doing those roles. More importantly KH did those roles with ridiculous ease! A genius to the hilt!

அவர் அறையில் ஆடம்பரங்கள் எதுவும் இல்லை.ஏர்கண்டிஷனிரின் செளகரியத்தைத் தவிர.ஒரே ஒரு படம் இருந்தது.உக்கிரமாக முறைக்கும் ப்ரூஸ்லி. அமெரிக்க சினிமா சரித்திரத்தைப்பற்றியும் Sound in cinema பற்றியும் புத்தகங்கள் தென்பட்டன.படிக்கிறார்.இங்கிலிஷ் பண்பட்டு இருக்கிறது.கணையாளி போன்ற புத்தகங்களையும் புதுக்கவிதைகளையும் ரசிக்கிறார்.தன் தொழிலில் உள்ள சிரிப்பான விஷயங்களை இயல்பாக எடுத்துச்சொல்கிறார்.போலன்ஸ்கி,கோடார்ட் போன்ற ஐரோப்பிய டைரக்டர்களைப் பற்றிஅவருக்கு தெரிந்திருக்கிறது.ஆல்பிரட் ஹிட்ச்காக்கின் Frenzy என்ற படத்தில் ஒரு ஷார்ட்டைப் பற்றி உற்சாகமாக அவருடன் பத்து நிமிடங்கள் அலச முடிகிறது."மலையாளப் படங்கள் இப்போது பரவாயில்லை போலிருக்கிறதே" என்றேன்.அவர் "அதெல்லாம் அந்தக்காலம்,இப்போது மலையாளப் படங்கள் பின்னோக்கிப் போய்க்கொண்டிருக்கின்றன"தன் சட்டையைக் காட்டி "மலையாளப் படம்" என்றார்.

"எனக்கு அழவரவில்லை அழு அழு என்கிறார்கள்.ஒரு சமீபத்திய தமிழ் படத்துக்கு மூன்று பாட்டில் கிளிசரின் ஆயிற்று."

"பாடலைப் படமெடுக்கும் போது கதாநாயகிக்கு கூந்தல் விரிந்திருப்பது ஒரு செள்கரியம்.உதட்டசைவு மறந்துவிட்டால்! சட்டென்று கூந்தலைப் பிரித்து அதில் மறைந்து கொள்ளலாம்."

"டேய் முத்து,மாடசாமி,பிடிடா"என்று கிராமத்தில் குடிசையில் வின்சென்டர் ரைபிள்களை வினியோகிக்கும் கர்ணன் படங்களையும் படுத்துக்கொண்டே படமெடுக்கும் காமிராக்கோணங்களையும்(imagine ஜோதிலட்சுமி)அம்மாக்களையும்,தியாகங்களையும் மிகவும் ரசித்து அவருடன் விமர்சித்துக் கொண்டிருந்ததில் எனக்கு நேரம் போனது தெரியவில்லை.படப்பிடிப்பு காத்திருந்தது.ஆப்பிள் ஜூஸ் கொடுத்து அனுப்பிவிட்டார்.

உரக்கப் பேசும் உரக்க நடிக்கும் தமிழ் சினிமாவில் சற்று மென்மையாக,கற்பனையுடன்,நம்பும்படி நடக்கும் கமலஹாசனிடம் தமிழில் நவசினிமாவில் உதயத்தை எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன்.

Thanks Joe. This was from Sujatha's 'kadaisi pakkam', a column in Kanaiyaazhi. Remember reading this article from some crumbling old archives. Kamal was one of the few regular readers of the literary magazine from its inception. In some other interview, Kamal mentioned Sujatha's as one of the people inspired him to keep learning new things: especially, writing for film.

really...he played like a child....at that period of time where children are made to over-act.

That's right- this is the era when child actors basically yelled out their lines while staring straight into the camera. Or skip wildly and swing their heads from side to side in song scenes.

From: kannannn on Thu Jun 7 8:53:54 2007.

Hmm.. not exactly. Kamal was interested in acting and took the first efforts to get the chance. Apparently, he was so adamant that one of his relatives took him at night to AVM's house and introduced him to AVM. AVM asked him a few questions and agreed to take him. So, the initiative was from Kamal himself and not from others.. Atleast that's what AVM himself said.

Quote:

CHENNAI: In a State where politics and cinema are inseparably intertwined, it is common for film personalities to evince interest in playing a lead role in the world of politics. But they seldom take a chance to get down to the nitty-gritty of business or commerce.

However, Kamal Haasan, who made a foray into the celluloid world when he was five seems to be an exception. Presenting the �theme address� on the opening day of a two-day conference on �riding high on the retailing wave,� organised by FICCI Tamil Nadu Council, he proved his ability to go into the nuances of a subject that had already generated enough heat and dust.

�Cinema might seem like too distant a cousin to this retailing world but let me assure you we will be rubbing shoulders soon � our industry will also join in riding this wave. It is happening slowly but surely,� he said.

Striking a note of optimism, Mr. Kamal Haasan said, �Merchandising offshoots of our films will soon make us partners. I am sure we will be ably assisted by our State Government.� He made it clear that he had some pet ideas about how cinema tickets could be sold. �Right now black marketers abound, nullifying any good the Government wishes to do. I foresee, pragmatically, rather than optimistically, even this will change soon.�

�I, as a much younger person, was privy to conversations which ridiculed modernisation in the retail sector. They even made fun of the need to modernise our automobile industry. They said we would become slaves again of the western world. I was swayed but the need for a better living standard gave me the required equipoise. According to me, wanting a better living standard was not greed but a need. So, naturally, the wise business world around me provided for my needs. Above all, I was not feeling guilty about living well.�

Among difficult roles essayed by other actors in other film industries, which ones do you think would have improved a lot if KH had been doing that role?

Example:
1. Silsila - Amitabh's role
2. Million Dollar Baby - Clint Eastwood's role
3. Angur - Sanjeev Kapoor's double role
4. Kaakha Kaakha - Surya's role !?
5. Dalapathy - Mamootty's role
6. Iruvar - Prakash Raj's role
7. Kathaanaayagan - Pandiyarajan's role
8. Devar Magan - Nasser's role, if he didn't play Devar Magan !
9. MMKR - Iyer paatti. (Avvai?)
10. Forrest Gump - Tom Hanks' role

What do you folks think?

Hi Satya, I agree with you on this one. Years ago when Hey Ram was released in Singapore, some of my Chinese friends wanted to watch the Tamil version; but at the cinema, they were told that the film carried no English subtitles and they ended up not watching the movie. I think the Hindi version had Englsih subtitles, but it was showing in some obscure cinema tucked away in a housing estate.

I too think that the reach would be better if Englsih subtitles were added to Tamil movies.

Vasu to direct Kamal
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 19, 2007]

Kamal Haasan is working hard to get the best result in his Dasavatharam. The movie is first-of-its-kind in the history of world cinema to feature the hero portraying 10 different roles. Dasavatharam is directed by K S Ravikumar and is produced by Oscar Ravichandran.

Reports are abuzz that Kamal Haasan has also made up his mind for his next venture after Dasavatharam.

Unlike Dasavatharam, it would be a commercial entertainer. Buzz is that P Vasu, who churned out Chandramukhi, will wield the megaphone for the Kamal Haasan starrer. T G Thyagarajan of Sathyajothy Films will produce the film. Kamal Haasan's Moonram Pirai was produced by Thyagarajan.

The rest of the star cast or the storyline has not been finalized yet. Kamal Haasan opted out of director Saran's home production.

Shall we back to updates on KalaiGnani Kamal Hassan

From: kamalsurya on Wed Jun 20 0:20:33 2007.

Kamal Haasan is working hard to get the best result in his Dasavatharam. The movie is first-of-its-kind in the history of world cinema to feature the hero portraying 10 different roles. Dasavatharam is directed by K S Ravikumar and is produced by Oscar Ravichandran.

Reports are abuzz that Kamal Haasan has also made up his mind for his next venture after Dasavatharam.

Unlike Dasavatharam, it would be a commercial entertainer. Buzz is that P Vasu, who churned out Chandramukhi, will wield the megaphone for the Kamal Haasan starrer. T G Thyagarajan of Sathyajothy Films will produce the film. Kamal Haasan's Moonram Pirai was produced by Thyagarajan.

The rest of the star cast or the storyline has not been finalized yet. Kamal Haasan opted out of director Saran's home production.

கமலின் புதிய படம்

பெரிய படங்களில் நடித்த பிறகு ரிலாக்ஸாக ஒரு காமெடி கமர்ஷியலில் நடிப்பது கமலின் பாலிஸி. 'தசாவதாரம்' மிகப் பெரிய படம். அதன் பிறகு?

இந்த கேள்விக்குறிக்கு பதில் சொல்லும் விதமாக இருந்தார் கமலை வைத்து 'வசூல்ராஜா எம்.பி.பி.எஸ்.' படத்தை இயக்கிய சரண். இவர் தயாரித்து இயக்கும் படத்தில் கமல் நடிப்பதாக இருந்தது. 'வட்டாரம்' தோல்வி மற்றும் கமல் படத்துக்கு அவரை கேட்காமல் வேறு தயாரிப்பாளரை தேடியது போன்ற காரணங்களால் சரண் படத்திலிருந்து விலகிக் கொண்டார் கமல். இந்த விலகலை அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக கமலின் சகோதரர் வெளியிட்டார்.

இப்போது மீண்டும் அதே கேள்வி, 'தசாவதாரம்' படத்திற்குப் பிறகு?

அனேகமாக பி.வாசு இயக்கத்தில் கமல் நடிக்கலாம் என்கிறார்கள். கமலும் பி.வாசுவும் நண்பர்களாக இருந்தும் இருவரும் இதுவரை இணைந்து பணியாற்றியதில்லை. பி.வாசு இயக்கத்தில் கமல் நடிக்க பலமுறை பேச்சுவார்த்தை நடந்தும் கடைசி நிமிடத்தில் அவை ஆவியானதுதான் மிச்சம். இந்தமுறை பழைய தவறு நடக்காது என்கின்றனர்.

கமல், பி.வாசு இணையும் படத்தை சத்யஜோதி பிலிம்ஸ் தயாரிக்கும் எனக் கூறப்படுகிறது. சத்யஜோதி பிலிம்சில் கமல் கடைசியாக நடித்த படம் 'மூன்றாம் பிறை.' கமலுக்கு தேசிய விருது பெற்றுத் தந்த படம். இருபது வருடங்களுக்குப் பிறகு கமல் சத்யஜோதி பிலிம்ஸ் இணைவதால், பட அறிவிப்புக்கு முன்பே இன்டஸ்ட்ரியில் எதிர்பார்ப்பு இருக்கு!

All that quality and intelligence didnt pay off in MX and Alavanthan. That is the risk of being different. When it clicks, it is outright fantastic: Anbe Sivam, Virumandi, MMKR and many more.

And when it fails, it is quite colossal and leaves everyone wondering what the heck were they smoking when they made these films.

Hopefully 10A is of the first kind.

On another topic, If there is enough material from Marudhanayagam, it will be even nice to insert some of those, if appropriate, into whichever movie Kamal is doing. Or, at least, release it as bonus material with some of the DVDs (say, of Dasa)...

Of versatility that�s timeless

Doyens decorated the dais at Kamaraj Hall on the evening of Sunday last. The occasion � a celebration in honour of the inimitable comedian, hero and character actor, Nagesh! With M.S.Viswanathan helming the proceedings, the event was graced by Kamal Haasan, Cho, lyricist Vaali, P.B.Sreenivos, directors �Chitralaya� Gopu, K. Balachander, Mrs. YGP, C.V.Rajendran and Vasanth � all ardent fans of the actor whose versatility transcends time! The light music troupe, Ganesh Kripa, presented a host of rare melodies filmed on Nagesh, on the occasion organised by Abbas/Sri Guru Kripa. ARS, the emcee, in typical style recalled interesting details about Nagesh in his prime.

It was a mutual admiration society of sorts on stage, because each was an achiever in his own right. While everyone extolled the potential of Nagesh, he on his part revealed his fascination for Kamal Haasan�s multi-faceted cinema skills. �I can never forget K. Balaji who fed me for three years and did his utmost to get me a break,� he began. �Chitralaya� Gopu recalled the skinny young man, who had accompanied actor Balaji to meet director Sridhar. Soon �Nenjil Or Aalayam� happened. ��All that�s fine. But why am I not able to go beyond the Rs. 501 advance? Like the 501 detergent soap bar, I�m stuck with the number,� he would tell me. I�d reply that his time would come. It did and how!� Gopu remarked. Because, as Vaali pointed out, there came a time when Nagesh was working round-the-clock and even MGR and Sivaji Ganesan had to wait for his dates, as distributors insisted that Nagesh was an indispensable value-addition to the projects. �The only picture you can find in Kamal�s room is that of himself with Nagesh. He reveres him so,� Vaali, who had shared a room with Nagesh in their struggling days, observed.
Witty responses

�True,� said Kamal. �I watch his films seriously. I�m so much in awe that I forget to laugh. Such is my admiration. It�s not jealousy � only complete surrender to this great talent. �Crazy� Mohan, a few other friends and I celebrate Nagesh almost every day at my office. In fact we go on about �Chitralaya� Gopu�s sense of humour too. Hindi film actor Mehmood once told me, he considers Nagesh his guru, whereas Amitabh gave Mehmood a similar status. So you see where the root actually is?� he smiled.

�Nagesh stands as a lucid example of the fact that those who follow my advice can never make a mark in life,� were Cho�s characteristic words. �When he wanted to quit his job in the Railways and strive to get into cinema full time, I told him it was a risky move. But how judicious it turned out to be!�

You may cry yourself hoarse, but greatness in this part of the country continues to remain mostly unrecognised. That the Padma Sri eludes extraordinary talents such as Nagesh, is a gross omission. But none who can redress matters seems to be concerned. Balachander, who helped Nagesh traverse histrionic domains far beyond the comedy roles he played, said the wrong should be righted. Yet why give it so much importance? The man has carved a formidable niche for himself as one who has regaled filmgoers with his perfect sense of timing in dialogue, and his superb portrayal of a wide spectrum of characters. The huge gathering at the hall exemplified it enough. Now the thespian has reached a stage where laurels from quarters without are absolutely immaterial!

�This will be an unforgettable day in my life,� concluded a moved Nagesh. The evening will remain evergreen in our minds too!

VAALI ON KAMAL (In Hindu)

At a function recently, when Vaali so much as mentioned "Dasavathaaram" and said he had penned some of the lyrics, the gathering went delirious with enthusiasm. "If even the name of the film can make you so joyous, how much more excited you will all be when the film actually releases" asked Vaali and the crowd went berserk with happiness once again. "Sivaji Ganesan himself told me that only Kamal could fill his place," Vaali went on. ''He is an atheist but a well-informed one, as I realised during the "Dasavathaaram" discussion. He knew more about "Visishtadwaitam" that Sujatha or I did." Kamal's only reaction was a genial smile.

I hope they do different in worldwide release(USA) for this movie. Give it to some american distributor and release it in some good first quality theatres (not the junk ones where sivaji is running) where you can attract global audience. Lot of americans (claimed they were fans ) were seen for VV, so if they market well it can reach many more people in US. Hope this movie will be the REAL trendsetter for the Tamil movies worlwide and prove its class!!!

அதைத்தொடர்ந்து கமலஹாசன் பேசியதாவது:-

``என் நண்பர், போட்டியாளர், அறிவுரையாளர், ரசிகர், விமர்சகர் ரஜினி. நாங்கள் இருவரும் அழகான நண்பர்கள். இந்த நட்பு, பாலசந்தர் என்ற விருட்சத்தின் நிழல். எங்கள் நட்பை பார்த்து யாரும் ஆச்சரியப்பட வேண்டியதில்லை. நாங்கள் வளர்ந்த விதம் அப்படி.

இரண்டு பேரும் சேர்ந்து நடிப்பதில்லை என்பது, இருவரும் சேர்ந்து, யோசித்து எடுத்த முடிவு. கோபம் காரணமாக எடுத்த முடிவு அல்ல. நல்ல யுக்தி. திட்டமிட்டு எடுத்த முடிவு.

ரஜினிக்கும், எனக்கும் உள்ள அற்புதமான நட்பு, பாதுகாப்பான தூரமும், சவுகரியமான நெருக்கமும் கொண்டது. அதிர்ஷ்டத்தால் வந்த நட்பு அல்ல.

முன்னோடி

கலைஞருக்கும், நடிகர் திலகத்துக்கும் அரசியல் கருத்து வேறுபாடுகள் இருந்தாலும், நல்ல நண்பர்களாக இருந்தார்கள். அதுபோல்தான் நானும், ரஜினியும். எங்களுக்கு வழிகாட்டியாக இருந்த முன்னோடிகள் கலைஞரும், நடிகர் திலகமும். என் தம்பி பிரபு, இந்த படத்தின் மூலம் தயாரிப்பாளர் ஆனதில் எனக்கு பெருமை.

நான், நடிகர் திலகத்தின் ரசிகன். அந்த வீட்டில் நான் பிறந்திருந்தால், சினிமாவுக்கு வந்திருக்க மாட்டேன். அந்த வீட்டில் பிறந்த பிரபுவிடம் இருக்கும் பணிவும், அடக்கமும் என்னை ஆச்சரியப்படுத்தி இருக்கிறது.

இது, நிஜமாகவே ஒரு சரித்திர விழா. ரஜினிக்கு இன்னும் இதுமாதிரி வெற்றிகள் வரும். நடுவில், இது போதும். இதோடு நிறுத்திக்கொள்ளலாம் என்று அவர் சொல்வார். நான் கூடாது என்பேன். ரஜினி, சினிமாவை விட்டு போகக்கூடாது. அவர் சினிமாவில் இன்னும் ரொம்ப நாட்கள் இருக்க வேண்டும்.

எங்களைப் பொருத்தவரையில் நாங்கள் இன்னும் குழந்தைகள்தான். நாங்கள் விளையாடுவதைப் பார்த்து சந்தோஷப்படுபவர், பாலசந்தர்.''

இவ்வாறு கமலஹாசன் பேசினார்.

Nerd and Cinefan, in all probability Kamal must have chosen to attend the function due to his proximity to Shivaji's family and Rajinikanth. But I really don't understand why he is happy about movies like Chandramukhi succeeding.
"இது, நிஜமாகவே ஒரு சரித்திர விழா. ரஜினிக்கு இன்னும் இதுமாதிரி வெற்றிகள் வரும். நடுவில், இது போதும். இதோடு நிறுத்திக்கொள்ளலாம் என்று அவர் சொல்வார். நான் கூடாது என்பேன். ரஜினி, சினிமாவை விட்டு போகக்கூடாது. அவர் சினிமாவில் இன்னும் ரொம்ப நாட்கள் இருக்க வேண்டும்."
Is it because he had to speak a few words of praise about the movie and Rajini's choice of storylines?

Don't know about others. But, I think Kamal 'the friend' has spoken. I'm sure, a guy with (half-decent) knowledge and semblance of watching 'decent' movies wouldn't even speak about the film's quality. He hasn't said about the 'quality', thankfully. And he just spoke as a friend and well-wisher, supporting rajini's success,etc.

And, like Devar magan, I'm sad that he actually went to the function. I'm disappointed that Kamal went!

Please don't add insult to injury by asking why! If you want to know, please PM!!!

he relentlessly keeps on praising about KB, and dont know if KB said anything about kamal\Dasa

KB praised rajini to more than maximum level..all these sivaaji mania just shows the power of rajini the businessman, be it, releasing 1 or 2 movies in 3 years span, keeping silent on almost all issues, ect.....but the way KB praised sivaaji the movie doesn't look fair....for a movie which is just a paisaa vasool and didnt add any reputation on indian cinema, the praise is too much, and not only KB

Yes, it was not Sakala who said that. And i think Sakala here was refering to the CM function. It was hubber karan_notout, who attended the function (that function was for Nagesh). Not only him, many people who attended the function will know that KB never uttered a WORD about Rajini or Sivaji. ippo media irukkara form la indha madhiri poi ellam aacharyam illa.

C'mon guys u can't expect this guys to talk negative things on a stage where all the ppl concerned with the movies are there. Things that are talked on stage cannot be taken seriously at all. Like what Bharathiraja said in one of Valee's function. But If like some of u guys suggested Kamal did not turn for the function after being invited then the media ppl will start talking about the relationship between the two. So i guess he uttered those words just to say somehting good about the movie.

From: kamalsurya on Tue Jun 26 23:11:36 2007.

He said that since both of them have diversified their interests and were looking for roles that would suit their image it is almost impossible for them, at this stage, to share the screen space.

I agree and ithellAm free-A vitturanum. Any body can interpret anything according to their own views and perceptions. No point arguing. And mostly all these stage speeches are kind of praising and pleasing one another and we cannot expect KH to be an exception - unless you completely avoid attending any such functions like what Ajith does.

And I am glad that KB did not say anything about Dhasa. As some of the KH fans (myself included) already expressed, it's much better to avoid any pre release propoganda by anybody including KH himself. Let the movie speak and let others speak after release

Quote:

Shruti Hassan is all excited about her forthcoming music album, which is getting ready for an early 2008 launch. When asked what the album is about, Shruti says: "It's my kind of music; the key is in expressing it, with some Indian elements thrown in it".

Shruti is trained in Hindustani classical music and went on to study music in Los Angeles. Her favourite is Madonna and metal music! Though acting is in her blood, as the daughter of Kamal Hassan, the finest actor in the country and Sarika, she is in no hurry to do a film. However she will do a film or assist dad, sometime in future. She has already sung a song for Dasavatharam under the baton of Himesh Reshamaiah.

At the moment, music and her forthcoming album are Shruti's top priorities. Her dad is her big inspiration and role model. Kamal knows more about music, than any other artist in Indian cinema! He understands the nuances of classical as well as pop music, and has also an ear for good music.

Last week as a part of Shruti's musical research, Kamal took her on a great learning experience to meet the 'Guru' himself MSV, one of India's greatest music directors. M.S Viswanathan ruled the airwaves for several decades and still has a large and ardent fan following worldwide. MSV ruled Tamil film music during the golden era (50's to late 70's) along with Kannadasan, T R Ramamurthy and K V Mahadevan.

MSV recovering from a cardiac surgery was convalescing at home in his sea-side apartment in Tiruvanmayur in Chennai. MSV was very pleased to see Kamal who came to inquire about his health, accompanied by Sruthi. MSV who vibes well with Kamal, had a great time chatting with the father and daughter. The maestro also gave Shruti some valuable tips, which we are sure she will incorporate into her vast repertory of musical notes.

MSV cardiac surgery?

* .. for a movie which is just a paisaa vasool and didnt add any reputation on indian cinema, the praise is too much, and not only KB[/digg]

How many of you attended CM funtion and listenened to KB's speech on Siavji (as sakala claims) ?

Have not seen it saying anywhere that KB gave a speech and praised rajni and 'sivaji'?

he says kamal usually says tamil cinema is 50 years behind foreign cinema. this is true in case of virumandi, cos Rashomon was released in 1950's.

kamal fans please throw some more light on this topic.

Rashomon is about a bandit who kills a beautiful girl's husband and there are four different versions of exactly what happened.ONe from the bandit , one from a witness who happened to see it, another from the girl, last one from the dead man himself throught a medium.And the four versions completely differ from each other.

It is actually about relative nature of truth.each person having different perception etc.
I think kamal has used the concept.but the story used is quite original.
By the way Rashomon is available free on the internet.it is public domain;http://www.archive.org/details/Rashomon

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sat Jun 30 13:16:26 2007. [Full View]

Yes, kamal just used the concept. One more thing, if u hear the song - karumaathoor kaattukkulle, the song portrays the virumaandi as a savior of pechiyamma who finally is in a prison[trapped inside a well, permanently] kamal equates that event, and in reality too virumaandi end up going to jail, without doing any harm. its a original story, something which is very rare in tamil cinema today.....

Virumandi is a cult classic! I still remember i booked tickets 14days before the movie release in UDAYAM and i got only for the 7th day!!!

We all loved the movie and one of my telugu friends said "Every field has one superstar or megastar but i think only Tamil has such a great cinema maker actor writer etc like KAMAL n of course mohanlal in Malayalam comes next"

I felt proud!

Sridevi, Kamal coming together?
IndiaGlitz [Monday, July 02, 2007]

Sridevi and Kamal Haasan were considered the lucky pair in Tami cinema in late 1980s and early 1990s. The two had come together to render several blockbusters then.

After Dasavatharam' is complete, buzz is that Kamal will act in a film to be directed by P Vasu. It is said Vasu is trying to sign on Sridevi for that.

However the actress, who is married to Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor, does not seem to be interested in acting again.

Efforts are on to convince her. Meanwhile, Vasu has been roped into play a prominent role in Dasavatharam.

VIRUMAANDI
India/2004/160 min/35mm

: Kamal Haasan
Producers: Chandra Haasan, Kamal Haasan
Screenwriter: Kamal Haasan
Cinematographer: Keshav Prakash
Production Design: Prabhakaran M.
Editor: Sudarshan
Music: Ilayaraja
Cast: Kamal Haasan, Napolean, Pasupathy, Abhiraami, Rohini

One of the most powerful star performers in all of Indian cinema, actor-producer-director Kamal Haasan, is famous both for his habit of inflicting drastic physical transformations upon himself, and for pursuing daring and often violent reformist social themes in populist narrative formats. His latest home-production, in which he also stars, is a melodramatic crime drama with a passionate anti-death penalty message. The film harks back to the rural blood feuds and vendettas in one of Kamal's best earlier productions, THEVAR MAGAN (Thevar's Son, 1992): Here, he plays a blood-spattered village bully sentenced to death after a lethal encounter with a local power broker. Despite its serious themes the movies contains an astonishing 12 songs by long-time Tamil cinema favorite Ilaya Raja, five of which feature lead vocal performances by Haasan himself. The man is nothing if not versatile!-David Chute

IMO, acting wise he has proved everything unless he is planning to do some historicals, mythological movies - only thing missing in his resume.
hope Marudhanayagam sees the light of the day pretty soon.

screenplay, direction - i think he is a king.
he will easily beat maniratnam and other ratnams.

IMO, acting wise he has proved everything unless he is planning to do some historicals, mythological movies - only thing missing in his resume.
hope Marudhanayagam sees the light of the day pretty soon.

2)To act only in class movies by joining with new talented directors

3) Let him give 50% commercial and 50% class movies
> Nope. It is not a good combo. A movie should be throughly entertaining with the neat content oflate we are receiving

4) I want him to concentrate only on Screenplay & Direction

Regarding Option 6.

The way he is doing now.
Giving comedy, class, act due to other's compulsion, etc which comes in no particular order. And tries to change his look at least once in 3 movies. some of the which does not fall under commercial or class and ends up badly like aalavandaan.

Sitter: Option 4

As a writer/firector he is miles above the competition (?)
He always keeps saying that he should have written ThEvar Magan, 10 years before he managed to (implying that, besides other factors, acting kept getting in the way).

IMO his best days as an actor under someone else's direction are in the past.
I receive every news of a Kamal acting in an 'outside' film with a lot of disappointment.

As an actor, he can expect to get the best of work, from director Kamal and not necessarily lead roles. And he has a niche of discovering actors from nowhere as well capabilities hitherto unseen within actors. I get excited when considering some prospective combinations with Kamal the writer/director. Am fairly sure, this may be his future plan too and he is waiting for the right time and tapping finances till then.Hope he chooses this line soon.

Not in the near future is my opinion. Though he is miles ahead in writing and direction, as you put it, time is not yet ripe to venture full-time in that area. The present situation is just not conducive for a 'Hey Ram'. He may have to compromise and serve a rather bland (comparitively) 'Virumandi', which I don't want from him. So, I'd rather see him strengthen his fan base and get more people to appreciate his efforts than tweak his creations to confirm to market trends.

Between tweaks like Virumaandi and 'weaks' VasoolRaja I'd much rather see the former. It is so painful to see someone like Kamal stuck in a movie like that.

I am not so sold on the fan base thing. It is not like he is an up and coming actor. And if at all a fan base is to be cultivated from now on, it is not for the actor-star Kamal, but for movies like Virumaandi, AnbE Sivam etc. i.e. movies that are not quite Hey Ram, but set up audiences for the biggies.

And don't be mistaken by these attempts rational arguments. In the end, it is just my greed talking

Interesting poll. I would prefer a combination of 4 and 5. (Would 4 cover acting under his own direction?) I must say that there is a marked difference between his acting in his own movies and under the direction of another.

Virumaandi is still my favourite latest Kamal flick amd a prime example for my choices. He's got great visualisation and is an expert story teller. He's also got a great eye for talent and has brought out the best in folks like Napolean. I also read somewhere that he has a preferance for stage actors as well (Pasupathy etc) as they have a good capacity to remember long dialogues, which is always great for long takes. His attention to detail is awesome- the crowd scenes in Virumaandi is a example. Notice how the people acted like a real crowd- no one stared at the camera or had a blank look. Or in several scenes in Hey Ram where even people in the background had to 'act', whether they were significant in the scene or not.

I voted for No. 2, but I'd like Kamal to do experimentations, both with new (potentially good) and tested directors.
Given his talents and experience, he should take the lead and not follow trends.

Also, I would still want him to do comedies, tho not remakes. At least these will do well at the BO and allow him to focus on experimentations. I would certainly like to see facets of new cinema from him.

Not true for both in my opinion.

Kamal was a Very big star by himself very well before the movie.

Mani's Turning Point is Mouna Ragam which made people to have a interest over him.

The point is this movie we can say took them to the next level and a turning point in that way.

In my opinion both should be equally grateful to each other.
If not for Kamal, Mani could have never thought of executing such a script.
And in the same with a great acting and i am sure there would be some inputs from Kamal though not official. That makes them equally honor.

And regarding Boss, for commercial reach many times in Tamil cinema an actor comes as the BOSS though it is not true in terms of execution of a Project.

In the interview, he says, some old man asked Kamal why he gave chance for Mani rathnam! He replied back saying, Mani has taken Tamil cinema forward along with him

But, Kamal could have been recognized without Naygan. But Mani got 'recognized' by Nayagan. Yes, Mani did Mouna Ragam before. It was a fine film. But Nayagan is just the film that made him what he is He would be 'ever grateful' to Kamal.

Anyhow as of now i think Kamal could not have definitely chosen his script. All the news about Vasu is based on the meet they could have involved.

Regarding Cheeni Kum Director, In Kumudam interview 2 weeks before one of the question asked to him and the answer.

Q: Would you be interested in making a Tamil movie.

Cheeni Kum is not the type of movie that would have Kamal going after the director. Balki first mentioned his fondness for Kamal in an interview with Rediff. As Thirumaran said, the media took over from there. Besides, there are numerous directors in Tamil, and better ones at that, who have expressed their desire to direct Kamal.

I think Balki's name is being mentioned (even though a debutant) b/c he could make the movie in both Hindi and Tamil. We all know Kamal likes to make movies in Hindi (more audience....more applause, he is known to have said). He has never had a credible hindi movie director in a long long time.

But,no one knows for sure as there is no official confirmation of his next movie and the media gets into speculation mode.

YES i agree. most of them are coming with rowdies plot craps. bala, ameer, selvaraghavan, ect...GM makes somewhat good movies but he oo lacks characterisations, or reasonings. and yes, all are one dimensional.

evlo knots irukku, and no one is well talented in screenplay tricks....

eve good entertainiers are becoming rare.

Mozhi wins in many areas. i feel even some extent of C center audience too wud have liked the movie

its long time we have seen any hero doing full fledged comedy \ triller movie...ellaarum getup maathi gaaradikkaranga.

also there was no movie with some artistic appeal, last one i remember is Anbe Sivam that too not a main plot but some interlaces(shivan painting ect)

heroines purpose has solely become, to make the audience 'happy' not even hero

most of the heroines are dubbed with same persons and they show same expressions. GM and Selva are rare exceptions. GM didnt use jyothika the same crappy style other directors used....even her dubb artist was different.

none of the directors can be chosen with their track records. only way is to gauge the story\plot they convey to kamal...

Kamaljikku naan oru story ready panni irukken....read below

Krishna Davinci(Kamal) is an archeologist. he goes to a meuseum to meet manivannan a famous resaercher. to his fate, manivannan is dead and the pose he lays on the floor is mysterious, and when police inspects with ultraviolet torch, they discover that, manivannan is lying in Lord Nataraja pose, krishna then goes in search of nataraja statue in the meuseum, and at that point, manivannan's grand daughter Asin joins him and request him to find the culprit. She assures to help hi and tell all details about his grandafather....then, they discover that a small papaer note is hidden below the nataraja statue and some scrpted symbols are written on that, they couldnt understand.

Meanwhile the police suspects krishna and knowing this, asin helps kamal and both escapes from the scene.....

They both start to investigate the killer, the flashback rolls back to mahabaratha period....lot of facts were hidden changed....krishna the lord tries to bring equal importance to womenin soceity but evil forces around him were against him, infact bagawath gita was written towards for women's rights but the culprits who didnt liked them edited those and also created a myst that bagawath geetha was written\spelled on the gurukshetra war....its also truth that krishna didnt die due to an hunter's misplaced arrow but he was murderred and these truth was erased from history, but krishna's generation lives hidden from those evil forces and they carry all these closely gaurded secret. Later, a secretive soceity named "Priory of Women" was formed and these secrets about krishna's generations there whereabouts where known only to them, great peole like mahaathma gandhi, poet barathiyaar, Math pundit srinivasa Ramanujam, and Periyaar were member of these soceity. Kamal gets to know all these info from asin, and now they try to crack down the scret written in the bit papaer, after decoding it, they come to know that Asin is the most youngest survivor of Lord Krishna's generation and there where few old ppl who are her seniors in her family-root and they are in a secretive krishna temple....now kamal tries to trace down the temple and its none other than Udipi krishna temple where devotees are not allowed to the main centre of the temple, where the same symbols written on the paper were inscribed. thatswhy that temple is covered from devotees....Kamal and Asin reaches there and proves the world the real truth. kamal also tracks and finds the generation of evil group which still survives and tries to hide the truth about lord Krishna

From: Kumar on Sun Jul 8 7:23:41 2007.

Kamaljikku naan oru story ready panni irukken....read below

Krishna Davinci(Kamal) is an archeologist. he goes to a meuseum to meet manivannan a famous resaercher. to his fate, manivannan is dead and the pose he lays on the floor is mysterious, and when police inspects with ultraviolet torch, they discover that, manivannan is lying in Lord Nataraja pose, krishna then goes in search of nataraja statue in the meuseum, and at that point, manivannan's grand daughter Asin joins him and request him to find the culprit. She assures to help hi and tell all details about his grandafather....then, they discover that a small papaer note is hidden below the nataraja statue and some scrpted symbols are written on that, they couldnt understand.

Meanwhile the police suspects krishna and knowing this, asin helps kamal and both escapes from the scene.....

They both start to investigate the killer, the flashback rolls back to mahabaratha period....lot of facts were hidden changed....krishna the lord tries to bring equal importance to womenin soceity but evil forces around him were against him, infact bagawath gita was written towards for women's rights but the culprits who didnt liked them edited those and also created a myst that bagawath geetha was written\spelled on the gurukshetra war....its also truth that krishna didnt die due to an hunter's misplaced arrow but he was murderred and these truth was erased from history, but krishna's generation lives hidden from those evil forces and they carry all these closely gaurded secret. Later, a secretive soceity named "Priory of Women" was formed and these secrets about krishna's generations there whereabouts where known only to them, great peole like mahaathma gandhi, poet barathiyaar, and Periyaar were member of these soceity. Kamal gets to know all these info from asin, and now they try to crack down the scret written in the bit papaer, after decoding it, they come to know that Asin is the most youngest survivor of Lord Krishna's generation and there where few old ppl who are her seniors in her family-root and they are in a secretive krishna temple....now kamal tries to trace down the temple and its none other than Udipi krishna temple where devotees are not allowed to the main centre of the temple, where the same symbols written on the paper were inscribed. thatswhy that temple is covered from devotees....Kamal and Asin reaches there and proves the world the real truth. kamal also tracks and finds the generation of evil group which still survives and tries to hide the truth about lord Krishna

good effort on the story writing

jus to go slightly off track on diff kinda screenplay etc, one such movie which had a wonderful screenplay was "udhayanaanu thaaram" in malayalam by a noted screenplay writer srinivasan and that is comin in tamil with Prakashraj and Prithviraj - good screenplay writers are definitely there in tamil industry and i guess only very very few actors take the risk of going beyond the normal like kamal.

75 years of Tamil cinema: Rajnikant, Kamal Haasan to attend star nite in Singapore
The South Indian Artistes Association (SIAA) is in a celebratory mood these days. Rightly so.

The celebration is to mark the 75th anniversary of Tamil cinema. And the Association is planning a grand celebration with a series of star nites.

The first of the star nites, the grapevine says, will be held in Singapore on August 11, 2007.

And gracing the function will be the highest paid actor on Indian screen, Rajnikant and his rival on reel life, Kamal Haasan , among others.

The Association is engaged in efforts to pull off another coup: to get Bollywood Shahenshah Amitabh Bachchan to be the chief guest on the occasion.

The mega function, which will be managed by Radaan Mediaworks, will feature a cultural programme as well.

The Association is also trying to ensure that major stars from other language cinemas also attend the show to make it a well and truly star-studded affair.

As part of the celebratory programme, another star night is likely to be held in San Francisco in October this year, says the buzz from Kollywood.

Kamal Hassan�s passion and devotion to his work, is well known in the industry and among his fans. His commitment is total to the projects that he believes in, and works hard to attain his goal.

It is not only in the way the character looks on the screen and his body language but also the way he walks, talks, and interacts with other characters.

But Kamal was determined to shoot in the natural surroundings, and he went ahead for three days continuously and completed the shoot, before he had a bout of viral fever. Next three days he was totally out, still he made preparations to go for the outdoor shoot of the film. Well that�s loyalty and devotion to one�s work.

Dasavatharam � Kamal gets Tsunami flu
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
July 09, 2007
Looks like the 10 roles for Dasavatharam aren�t going down easy with Kamal�s health. The actor suffers a flu fever since he had to enact a Tsunami victim. Which means Kamal had to be in the artificially erected Tsunami set for a week. An artificial sea is recreated for this purpose in the Mahabalipuram area where Dasavatharam is progressing day in and day out.

Dasavatharam
Kamal refused to take a break owing to his flu despite loads of advices from the director and producer. The agonizing actor withstood the intensity of flu and was seen in the Tsunami sets for a week until the shoots were okayed.

Now if anybody needs inspiration on dedication and hard work, you know where to look for.

I want Kamal to come out all guns blazing with commercial entertainers ALWAYS like Apoorva sagotharargal, sakalakala vallavan, thevarmagan, indian, nayagan, avvai shanmugi, VV etc
IMHO all these movies had the stamp of kamal's CLASS which NO OTHER actor can come up with or dare to attempt.......im not a big fan of movies like Anbesivam, etc
I want kamal to ATTRACT the masses (with commercial) and show his talents and class...i dont want him to waste his talents making museum stuff or art movies

Some one has polled Kamal should act only in commercial movies. Rolling Eyes

corleone look at thalaivar's last 5 movies

virumandi -- hit/superhit

vasool raja -- superhit

Rama Shaama Baama (kannada) -- super hit.. a tamil actor rocking kannada BO is great..

Mumbai express -- flop

Vettaiyaadu -- Blockbuster..

4 out of the 5 movies did very well at the BO..

no other actor in the past 3 years has such a good record..

so there is nothing to complain at all...

Ok i'll put it straight...irrespective of ALL the 'IF's and 'BUT's he should match Rajini in the BO and he should be the BEST in all aspects including BO

Take for example Aamir and Shahrukh....Aamir is more in the Kamal mould and SRK is of the Rajini mould (but none of them cud match the benchmark set by Kamal/Rajini)
They both have their own style and their films are totally different.....but still they both are equally big in the BO unlike in TN
I have no qualms in kamal experimenting and trying out different stuff...but i want his experimentations and high class to be displayed or packaged in commercially entertaining movies (Ex. Apoorva sagotharargal)
With such movies he can definitely match (if not dethrone) Rajini in the BO

He is not only the second highest paid actor in TN,he is the third highest paid actor in INDIA.When there were talks about Hrithik signing three movies for 35 crores,there was a writeup in india times,bangalore which said, "the top 3 highest paid actors in india are from south namely,Rajini,Chiranjeevi and Kamal".

As per media, Bachan gets 4-6 crores per movie,sharuk and amir around 3to 4 crores.So, got to be true.

With respect to BO, Kamal has some stong belts where he is the undisputed champion.To throw some more light,CM was a bigger hit than VV, but VV broke CMs' collections in Chennai.

This seems to be said every time Kamal dabs that extra bit of grease on. When we try to see beyond the 'distraction', we tend to discount the performances a little more.

There are several scenes in AS that had exemplary acting from Kamal. The registrar office sequences to the post-suicide attempt scene is intense in its melodrama. To say Kamal did a fantastic job would be an understatement. But that's the straight part.

There is so much more he brought to that role. His voice is a shade softer with a noticeable lisp that goes with his deformity. He would have consistently maintained it throughout. It comes out on the table in his moments of cheer, like when he says "muthaLAlee..." to Mouli in a highly exaggerated manner and when he talk to Delhi ganesh. But you can also see him let his pronunciation slip and glide when he is talking emotionally to SrividhyA. Great performance. Far from 'Nothing much' !

The movie also had a great screenplay. And good performances were extracted even from secondary characters. For eg. the scene where Nagesh taunts Srividya by rechristining her: "..moonu, naalu, anju.. ah..paanjaali..". His henchman, standing at the background covers his mouth in disbelief. Or, the constable who loses his balance ever so slightly when Manorama yells to Janakaraj "Un pondatti indha constable-a isthukinu odi poiduva.." Subtle, but so effective. Singeetham and Kamal constantly remind us of why they make one of the best combinations in Indian Cinema.

And dont worry.DASA would certainly beat shivajis' collections in chennai.But, i would be happy to see it breaking its collections elsewhere in TN.

Dasa will be releasing in Hindi and hence would have more releases in other parts of country than shivaji.If the content is good and enjoyable to them also (like in appu-raja or Hindustani),it certainly would be a bigger hit than shivaji

There is so much more he brought to that role. His voice is a shade softer with a noticeable lisp that goes with his deformity. He would have consistently maintained it throughout. It comes out on the table in his moments of cheer, like when he says "muthaLAlee..." to Mouli in a highly exaggerated manner and when he talk to Delhi ganesh. But you can also see him let his pronunciation slip and glide when he is talking emotionally to SrividhyA. Great performance. Far from 'Nothing much' !

this voice was first used in Kaakki chattai, when aandavar climbs the pipe to see Ambika.. i dont think it can be heard in any other movie

கமல்ஹாசன்

கலைத்தாயின் பொக்கிஷம், கலைகளின் களஞ்சியம்.

இருப்பிடம்

சென்னையிலும் ரசிகர்களின் உணர்விலும்

இளமைப்பருவம்

ராமநாதபுரம் மாவட்டத்தைச்சேர்ந்த பரமக்குடிதான் கமலின் சொந்த கிராமம். கமலின் தந்தை பெயர் டி.சீனிவாசன். தாயார் பெயர் ராஜலட்சுமி அம்மாள். டி.சீனிவாசன் வழக்குரைஞராக பணியாற்றி வந்தார். இந்திய விடுதலை போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்டு சிறைவாசம் அனுபவித்தவர். சீனிவாசன்_ராஜலட்சுமி தம்பதியருக்கு 1954_ம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் 7_ம் நாள் பிறந்த நான்காவது கடைக்குட்டி பையன்தான் கமல்ஹாசன். கமலுக்கு சாருஹாசன், சந்திரஹாசன் என்ற மூத்த சகோதரர் இருவரும் நளினி என்ற மூத்த சகோதரி ஒருவரும் உண்டு. சீனிவாசன் தன்னுடன் சுதந்திர போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்ட தியாகி மௌலானா யாகுபிஹாசன் என்பவரின் நினைவாக தனது மகன்கள் பெயரில் பிற்பகுதியில் ஹாசன் என்று சேர்த்துக்கொண்டார். கமலின் சகோதரர் இருவரும் வழக்குரைஞராக சென்னையிலும் சகோதரி தற்போது பம்பாயிலும் வசித்து வருகின்றனர்.

பரமக்குடியில் பள்ளியில் படித்துக்கொண்டிருந்தபோது பணி நிமித்தமாக சாருஹாசனும் சந்திரஹாசனும் சென்னையில் குடியேறிவிட்டனர். அவர்களுக்கு உதவியாக தாயாரும் சென்னை சென்றுவிட்டார். பின்னர் சாருஹாசனின் திருமணத்திற்குப் பின் சென்னையிலும் பரமக்குடியிலும் மாறி மாறி தங்கினர் சீனிவாசன்_ராஜலட்சுமி தம்பதிகள். பின்னர் கமலும் சென்னை வந்து கான்வென்ட்டில் படித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார்.

மாஸ்டர் கமல்

இளம் வயதில் படிப்பை விட நடிப்பின் மீதும் நடனத்தின் மீதும் கமலுக்கு இயல்பாகவே ஆசை இருந்தது. கமலின் குடும்ப நண்பரான டாக்டர் சாரா ராமச்சந்திரன் என்ற பெண் டாக்டர் ஏவி.எம். செட்டியார் குடும்பத்திற்கும் குடும்ப டாக்டராக இருந்து வந்தார்.

ஒருமுறை டாக்டர் சாரா குட்டிக்கமலை ஏவி.எம். செட்டியார் வீட்டிற்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றிருந்தார். அந்த சமயம் ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா என்ற படத்தை தயாரிக்கும் பணியில் ஈடுபட்டிருந்தனர். தன் வீட்டிற்கு வந்து போய்க்கொண்டிருந்த சிறுவன் கமல் ஏவி.எம். செட்டியாரின் 2_வது மகன் கண்ணில் பட்டார். குறும்பு பார்வையுடன் துருதுருவென்ற கமலை களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா படத்தில் இடம்பெறும் சிறுவன் பாத்திரத்தில் போடலாமா? என்ற யோசனையுடன் தனது தந்தையிடம் கமலை அழைத்துச் சென்றார். செட்டியாருக்குப் பிடித்துவிடவே, கமலின் பெற்றோர்கள் சம்மதத்துடன் களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா படத்தில் ஜெமினி_சாவித்திரியின் மகனாக அறிமுகப்படுத்தினார்.

அம்மாவும் நீயே, அப்பாவும் நீயே என்ற பாடலுக்கு நடித்த கமல் அக்கால ரசிகர்களுக்கு குறிப்பாக தாய்மார்களுக்கு கமல் மீது அளவிடமுடியாத பாசத்தையும் அன்பையும் ஏற்படுத்தியது. படமும் வெற்றிபெற்று ராசியான குழந்தை நட்சத்திரம் என்ற பெயரையும் கமலுக்குத் தேடித் தந்தது அப்படம். கமலுக்கு ஜனாதிபதி பரிசும் கிடைத்தது.

சகலகலா வல்லவன் கமல்

களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா படத்திற்குப் பின் பீம்சிங் இயக்கத்தில் சிவாஜி நடித்த பார்த்தால் பசிதீரும், ஏ.எஸ்.ஏ.சாமி இயக்கிய எம்.ஜி.ஆர். நடித்த ஆனந்தஜோதி மற்றும் சங்கர் இயக்கிய பாதகாணிக்கை, ஜி.ஆர்.நாதன் இயக்கிய வானம்பாடி போன்ற படங்களில் நடிக்க வாய்ப்பு கிட்டியது.

கமல் 8_ம் வகுப்பு வரை திருவல்லிக்கேணி இந்து உயர்நிலைப்பள்ளியில் படித்தார். அவரின் வகுப்புத் தோழன் டி.கே.பகவதியின் மகன் மணிவண்ணன். மணிவண்ணன் மூலம் கமலைப் பற்றி கேள்விப்பட்ட டி.கே.சண்முகம் (பகவதியின் சகோதரர்) கமலை தன்னுடைய டி.கே.எஸ்.நாடக குழுவில் சேர்த்துக்கொண்டார். அங்கு நடிப்புப் பயிற்சி, நடனப் பயிற்சி போன்றவற்றை கற்றுக்கொண்ட கமல் 9_ம், 10_ம் வகுப்பை எம்.சி.பி. முத்தையா செட்டியார் பள்ளியில் படித்தார்.

இடையிடையே டி.கே.எஸ்.நாடகக் குழு நடத்திய சில நாடகங்களிலும் நடித்தார். கால மாற்றத்தினால் டி.கே.எஸ். குரூப் நாடகங்களை நடத்துவதை நிறுத்திவிட்டது. கமலும் பள்ளிப்படிப்பை தொடர முடியாமல் பெயில் ஆகிவிட்டார்.

பின்னர் தன் தந்தையிடம் வற்புறுத்தி பரதநாட்டியம், கதக், குச்சிப்புடி போன்ற நடனங்களை கற்றுக்கொண்டார். பரத நாட்டிய அரங்கேற்றமும் நடந்தது. கமல் சிவாலயா என்ற பெயரில் ஒரு நாடகக் குழுவை ஆரம்பித்தார். தம் குழுவினரோடு மராட்டிய மாநிலம் சென்று நடன காட்சிகள் நடத்தி திரும்பி வந்தார். இந்த நிலையில் கமலுக்கு சினிமா வாய்ப்பு ஏதும் கிடைக்காமல் ஒரு தேக்க நிலை உருவானது. சினிமா நடன மாஸ்டர் தங்கப்பனிடம் உதவியாளராக சேர்ந்தார் கமல். தங்கப்பன் மாஸ்டர் பணிபுரிந்த அன்புத் தங்கை, மாணவன், நான் ஏன் பிறந்தேன் போன்ற படங்களில் கமல் உதவி நடனடைரக்டராகவும் பணியாற்றியிருக்கிறார்.

தங்கப்பன் மாஸ்டர் திரைப்பட இயக்குநர் ஆனபின் கமல் மீண்டும் வேலையின்றி அலைந்தார். அப்போது களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா படத்தில் நடித்தபோது கிடைத்த அறிமுகம் காரணமாக ஜெமினிகணேசன் கமலுக்காக பல இயக்குநர்களிடமும் தயாரிப்பாளர்களிடமும் சிபாரிசு செய்து வந்தார். அப்படி அறிமுகம் ஆனவரில் ஒருவர் கே.பாலச்சந்தர். ஜெமினியின் சிபாரிசினால் கமலுக்கு அரங்கேற்றம், சொல்லத்தான் நினைக்கிறேன் போன்ற படங்களில் நடிக்க வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தது. அதுவும் சொல்லத்தான் நினைக்கிறேன் படம் கமலை தமிழ் ரசிகர்கள் அடையாளம் காண உதவியது. ஏ.பி.நாகராஜன் இயக்கிய மேல்நாட்டு மருமகளும் கமலுக்கு நல்ல பெயரை ஏற்படுத்தியது. ஆனால் மீண்டும் கே.பாலச்சந்தரின் மன்மத லீலை, அவள் ஒரு தொடர்கதை, அபூர்வ ராகங்கள், மூன்று முடிச்சு போன்ற படங்கள்தான் கமலை ஹீரோ அந்தஸ்துக்கு உயர்த்தியது.

ஸ்ரீதரின் இளமை ஊஞ்சலாடுகிறது மற்றும் மீண்டும் கோகிலா, வறுமையின் நிறம் சிவப்பு, சொந்தப் படமான ராஜபார்வை, பாலாஜியின் வாழ்வே மாயம், மூன்றாம்பிறை, ஏவி.எம்.மின் சகலகலா வல்லவன், சலங்கை ஒலி போன்ற திரைப்படங்கள் கமலின் நடிப்பில் வெவ்வேறு பரிணாமத்தைக் காட்டின.

தமிழ்ப்படங்களில் மட்டுமல்லாமல் கமல் இந்தித் திரைப்படங்களிலும் மற்ற தென்னிந்திய மொழிப் படங்களிலும் நடித்து அகில இந்திய நடிகராக ஆகிவிட்டார்.

தொடர்ந்து காக்கிச்சட்டை, உயர்ந்த உள்ளம், புன்னகை மன்னன் போன்ற வெற்றிப்படங்களிலும் நடித்து தமிழக நடிகர்களில் மிக உயர்ந்த இடத்தைப் பிடித்தார். நாயகன் படம் கமல் திரைப்பட வாழ்வில் ஒரு மைல் கல். சிவாஜி பார்த்து பாராட்டிய இப்படம் பம்பாயில் அக்கால கட்டத்தில் வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருந்த ஒரு தமிழ் தாதாவின் கதை.

அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள் படத்தில் 2 வேடங்களில் ஒன்று குள்ள கமல். அதன் டெக்னிக் இதுவரை புதிர்தான். சிவாஜியுடன் தேவர்மகன் படத்தில் நடித்த கமல், அப்படத்தில் இடம்பெற்ற சிலம்பம் சண்டை காட்சியில் தூள் பரத்தியிருந்தார். சிவாஜிக்கு இந்த படத்தில் சிறந்த துணை நடிகருக்கான மத்திய அரசு விருது கிடைத்தது. குணா, மகராசன், மகாநதி, இந்தியன், குருதிபுனல் போன்ற படங்களும் கமலுக்கு பேர் சொல்லும் படங்களாக அமைந்தன. அதுவும் அவ்வை சண்முகி பெண்வேடம் இந்தியத் திரை உலகம் மூக்கில் விரல் வைக்கும்படி செய்துவிட்டது.

தொடர்ந்து ஹே ராம், மருத நாயகம் போன்ற படங்களிலும் கமல் தன் சாதனைகளையும் வித்தியாசப் பார்வையையும் தொடர்வார்.

From: rooky on Wed Jul 11 11:03:13 2007. [Full View]

If you go by collections alone,AS and Indian would have definitely overtaken DM,simply cos of inflation.But if you go by number of people who watched these movies, DM would surely come first..no doubt.

As per the trade during that time, AS,Indian and Thenali all were blockbusters.If i am correct, Thenali was the last Silver jubilee for Kamal in tamil (only we care about number of days...does this habit prevail anywhere else in the world?).He also had the telugu original of "paasavalai" that ran for more than 225 days in andhra sometime after that.

'cos of the inflation, we will be seeing movies doing business for more than 200 crores,just like that,after 5 or six years..This may look unbelievable.But,did anyone thought a Tamil movie would do business close to 100 crores,some five years back?

So, we cannot compare collections of two hits released at different time frames.Comparing movies released within say 2 years may be logical.

It's subjective coz it depends on the budget, distribution rates, inflation rates etc.

But Thenali was the biggest blockbuster for KH since year 2000.
It was a Silver jubliee movie (scoring double century with one of the centuries compensating for Hey Ram which went "Hurray Ram" at BO! )

Since year 2000, AFAIK, following is the BO status of KH movies!

Blockbusters -Thenali
Superhits - Panchathantiram, VV
Hits - Virumandi, Vasool Raja
Average - Alavandhan (It had average collections in Chennai & Kerala but in B & C centres it was a wash out ), PKS
Flops - Hey Ram, Anbe Sivam, MX

Hey ram(hindi version) was in top 5 till 50 days.
due to over budget(20 crores) and failed in both tamil and telugu,
movie declared as flop.

For Alavandhan(Abhay) bollywood disbtributors interested to pay 10 crores. but kamal refused and expected more...

because of that Dhanu got more angry against kamal and gave interview to junior vikatan and kumudam.

Alavandhan was the first indian movie released with 500+ prints (dhanu gave ad in daily thanthi)

Rajaram Anne,

Whether it ran for so many days or not, whether it collected huge amount of bucks or not, the film is a masterpiece. And it's well-deserved in becoming a favorite among cinephiles and many others! So, it has 'succeeded' in my opinion. It would survive and succeed over generations!

Right. As far as in Hindi, It was not there in Top 5 for 50 days

It was there for 3 weeks i believe

First few days it pulled big crows but going forward

In my opinion if the length was reduced without affecting the flow of the movie it would have been a hit in Hindi definitely. But for tamil few more adjustments would be required

I wont accept this. One of the problem in the movie which went against the mass is the usage of Hindi and some other north indian Languages. Though i saw the movie very long back that too in Hindi, by hearing i believe around 25 % of the movie contains other language content. Even after 15 years i dont think people will have control over Hindi language. There would be people who would be good enough to learn on their own. Doing some weird calculation because of this after 15 years the movie could run for 10 more days or some 10-20 % more collections.

For Majority of the viewers around half of the movie is dragging. It definitely need a control. Though as per the content it is justified it does not suit the majority.

One more thing is the violent happening which happened during that period was not known by people majority in Tamil Nadu. So the View of Kamal(of Killing Gandhi and his change in course of time) will not look reasonable to Viewers(Majority). This could have been avoided with much more better screenplay. What could be the better screenplay is a big question. That no one could be make sure of.

Kamal too while started would have definitely aimed to make a screenplay which could go with Majority. But could not do it.

For that we cannot blame on the tastes of the people. The same people had accepted several other good movies and the same several flopped too.

It is all about presentation. The presentaion of the movie is great for us. But it did not go well with the majority. I would say this has to taken as learning experience instead of putting blame on people's taste.

The level of usage of Tamil in ETKL and Hindi in Hey ram is totally different and the movie type also different. I am stopping here as it would require big explanation from my side and there is possibility it would never end with none of u or me accepting the other side views.

The first film in the KH-KSR combo-Avvai was amazing.Still remember watching it FDFS@Pallavi theatre in Bangalore-the buzz inside was tremendous till the end.

Their second together-Tenali,well I just hated it in the theatre but liked it immensly on subsequent screenings on TV.

The third in their combo-Panchathanthiram was pretty average(but still could watch it twice in the theatres).

So actually the combo is on a downward slide in both quality&BO collections.

A screenplay is good or bad on its own merit (subjective). Success is different. Good screenplays have become successful in the past like you have mentioned but to say that a screenplay is not good enough just because it is not successful is wrong, IMO.

About commenting on people's taste:
Would i say "Mani should have written a much better screenplay for Kannathil Muthamittal. The masses didn't like it"? - NO Way! Mani can be proud of that work, irrespective of the BO result and naturally i *will* crib about people's taste when i see movies like this failing while Shakeela films (for e.g) are lapped up by the masses.

CR,

My take on "screenplay"
Its not neccessary that the screenplay is termed as good only if the masses accept it.

What is screenplay ?

Screenplay is the manner of story telling to suit (ACCEPTABLE, APPREHENSIBLE and ATTRACTIVE) the target audience. Screenplay is the tailoring of the BASIC STORY to take it to the audience.
The basic story need not or most of the times doesnt really depend on the target audience, but the screenplay MUST depend on the target audience, their preferences, tastes and the trend. Screenplay should also take into account the strenghts of the leading casts.

The success and failure of any movie depends mainly on the screenplay.

Lets take the example of Cheran and (Late)Jeeva movies. Cherans strong hold is B and c. Jeeva targeted A. So the screenplay in their movies exhibit a huge difference. Here we talk abt medium budget movies.

When it comes to cult actors like Rajini, Kamal, Ajith etc. we dont have any restrictions like A, B or C. They r present everywhere. So the screenplay should be ACCEPTABLE and APPREHENSIBLE by the MAJORITY of the people. And if we r dealing big budget bonanzas like Sivaji or 10A then it should surely APPEAL to more than a majority of audience.

For example this is where Kamal failed in Aalavandaan.

In simple terms a screenplay is categorized as good if it is ACCEPTABLE, APPREHENSIBLE and ATTRACTIVE to the TARGET AUDIENCE.
From: joe on Fri Jul 13 5:32:23 2007. [Full View]

This hapened with 'Anbe Sivam' also ..Invariably most of the people I know were praising the movie sky high "என்ன படங்க இது ? சூப்பர் படம்" and finally they add one question "ஏன் இந்த படம் ஓடல்ல?" .After one more question with them what I found is ...Most of them have seen the movie only by VCD or 'for oosi' at SUN TV.

So I got the answer why it didnt run in theatre .One section of the people says "எனக்கு படம் ரொம்ப பிடிச்சிருந்தது .ஆனா பொது மக்களுக்கு பிடிக்காது .கமர்சியல் வேலியூ இல்லை .ரொம்ப சீரியஸா இருக்கு படம்" ..some other says "படம் நல்லா இருந்தது .ஆனால் அந்த குடை சண்டை மாதிரி மசாலா -ல்லாம் தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம் .அதான் படம் ஓடல்ல" ..I don't find who is correct ?

Anbe sivam did not appeal to the masses simply bcos the dialogues were high brow in many places. Also, the tempo of the film was slow.

Apart from that, commerical elements (kuttu paattu, fights etc.,) were not there.

I dont know abt Mani's motive behind the making of Kannathil Muthamittal...whether to get critical acclaim or set right his bank accounts. If he intended to get critical acclaim then i would say his script/screeplay was succesful but in the other scenario its not a good one.

Abt Shakeela kind of movies:
The screenplay for such movies also very important....i dont want to get too DEEP into it....but regular watchers have their own preferences on such movies. Not all such movies succeed and appeal to THEIR target audience.

If Mahanadi fails in the BO then its fine since the cost is not so huge and in this case his target audience or INTENT of that film may be different.
But a movie like Aalavandaan should not fail to satify the masses since the cost involved is too high.

thiru,
1) You had used the words "he should have written a much better screenplay" obviously implying that the screenplay was not good enough. adhunala dhaan ketten
2) Secondly, just because the makkal accepted Pesum Padam (or other good movies) does not mean they will accept ALL good movies. And conversely, just because they didn't accept Hey Ram, it does not eman its not a good movie. I know you didn't mean that, but when you say "don't blame the people's taste", it indirectly implies that. If you say, "its not enough if a movie is good, you need to present it well to make the masses like it", i agree completely. However, to say "don't blame the taste. They have accepted good movies and rejected bad movies in the past", then i disagree. I don't form my opinions based on how others receive a movie or whether the majority liked it or not. To me, making X/Y movies run and rejecting movies like Hey Ram, Mahanadhi, KM and Anbe Sivam etc is nothing but bad taste.

HeyRam subject itself is very alien to Masses ..Most of the people not eve ready pay a attempt to think Ghandi's life in a different angle ..So if you change the screen play according to taste of audience ,the whole plot should be changed and it can't be a movie what kamal targetted.

As i mentioned i did not mean the screenplay was bad. It was taken differently and due mistake is because of my bad language use.

It is difficult to pin-point what the audience would like. Adhu therinjudhunna, ella padamum super-hit aagirukkum. I have a feeling that our people do support good movies once in a while. But there is a line which they don;'t want to cross. Take Kadhal. It had a good screenplay (when I say good screenplay, I mean a tight script), good dialogues and a realistic presentation. But above all, it was a straight movie. The audience didn't have to look for subtleties, symbolism or cinematic nuances. So, there was nothing for them to think hard. OTOH, Mahanadhi or Hay Ram are full of nuances that the audience would rather not be bothered with. That's where they fail. I don't say that we as audience are not intelligent. It's just that we are yet to reach a stage where we are willing to view movie as an art and look beyond what we see on screen. Screenplay has nothing to do with this.

Don Corleone,
I agree with you on some points and i disagree on some.
I agree with your point w.r.t intent, target audience vis a vis Alavandhaan, etc. however, that is besides the point i was making. Yes, a good big budget movie has to be *appealing* to a big cross-section of people inorder for it to be successful commercially. However, that does NOT mean that the merit of its *screenplay* can be gauged by its commercial success.
It would be blasphemy to say 2001, or Rashomon should have their screenplays altered just because they didnt go well with the majority at that time.

Kannannn,

BTW, the so-called 'entertainment' is -

The audience's taste is pathetic, whether we like to accept it or not!

As kannann has put it brilliantly, we need to 'look beyond' whats on display. Like any junk food or cheap magazine, masala movies sells more and makes profit. People love the blissful world rather than being well-informed and refined about what they actually need! That's the truth of it all!

When we talk of good movies of kamal, I think aalavandhan does not deserve to be in the list.

It was a horrible film. No story whatsoever. Bad graphics. Lousy direction. But for the fact that kamal prepared himself for the motta role, nothing else.

Kamal's worst movie. Even duds like shankarlal, antha oru nimidam etc., were better.

Rashomon didn do that well in Japan at that time.....but the movie found a much wider audience and it was recieved well outside elseehere a bit gradually....won a lot of awards........introduced Kurosawa to the world.....in commercial terms too the movie is still making some money thru video rights....so Rashomon is technically not a flop.

Almost similar is the case 2001.

So a movie with a good script/screenplay would surely get what it deserves in almost all the cases.

Its a real pity that such an effort from Kamal went in vain bcos of the poor script and execution....KSR wud have done it for Kamal instead of Suresh Krishna

Corleoen,
U are right. BUt aalvandhan's main problem (part from bad direction) was the script. The story was reportedly written by kamal himself long time back.

Suresh krishna has the unique distinction of "packing" 4 stars - kamal (AV), rajini (baba), vjant (gajendra) & dhanush (PEAS).

Wonder who's next? )

From: crajkumar_be on Fri Jul 13 6:58:57 2007.

I disagree.
Though Rashomon, like many of Kurosawa's works, received wider acceptance *later*, it was not a commercial success. So is the case with 2001. Plus, the audience which sees these kinds of films will not come under the common man category. I'm talking about the "masses".

Aalavanthan is different kind of entertainment movie...before release everyone had a HUGE expectation of that MOTTA role...though the film had lot of interesting factors, it failed to match the expectation.....

me too it happened while seeing in the theatres...but 2 years back while seeing in the DVD...i ma very much attracted by the NANDU (first & last 1/2 hour of the movie )...also in the last scene "MOTTA THALAIYIL THALAM PODUVAR"...recently we hav seen this style in another movie???? any of u guys noted ???

suppose if succeded in BO, definitely this time who are all blaming will be praising the movie...

Unfortunately, even our home video market is not something to be proud of. Film makers abroad understand the importance of this market segment and many movies have been able to make a profit from DVD sales after 'late realisation' from the audience (there are numerous examples for this). So, 2001 or Roshomon will continue to find buyers while people will probably gush about Hey Ram's quality after catching glimpses of it on TV and stop at that

That was my point and i believe Kannan's too. His post was in response to the argument that the merit of a screenplay can be judged by its commercial success. Of course, the common man need not worry about that. Sometimes, when the said movie is within his/her realm of entertainment (like Thevar Magan etc), he accepts it but otherwise rejects it.

I disagree with the comon argument of "giving what the people want". Often, its the reverse - if you constantly keep feeding them substandard stuff, they often end up liking it.

Roshan, 'We' here means the audience as a whole. I just meant that a good screenplay need not necessarily translate into a hit movie. Was Hey Ram only for the elite? I don't think so. No film maker would want to make a movie for the elite. More so someone as prolific as Kamal. I don't agree that Gandhi is revered to point of people rejecting anything against him. Plays like "Me Nathuram Godsey Boltoy" and "Mahatma vs Gandhi" readily come to mind.

Ellaam Ok Thaan! In this industry,
1. "giving what the people want"
- The Movie Maker should give some very quality product after understanding "what people want". KH is differentiating himself in this by giving quality things but the others just give anything and tell that "this is what people want".
Sometime he misjudge that any quality product may go well with people, but there are people who cannot judge whether it is worth or not.. IMO that's why the quality movies given by KH sometimes are not doing well in BO

U spoke my mind........some film makers give craps just based on what people want....some film makers (including Kamal) give quality stuff based on what people want......Kamal failed sometimes because he failed to understand what people want.

So in this case the audience should not be blamed.....we should gracefully accept that even Kamal can fail sometimes.

From: selvakumar on Fri Jul 13 9:18:37 2007.

This hapened with 'Anbe Sivam' also ..Invariably most of the people I know were praising the movie sky high "என்ன படங்க இது ? சூப்பர் படம்" and finally they add one question "ஏன் இந்த படம் ஓடல்ல?" .After one more question with them what I found is ...Most of them have seen the movie only by VCD or 'for oosi' at SUN TV.

So I got the answer why it didnt run in theatre .One section of the people says "எனக்கு படம் ரொம்ப பிடிச்சிருந்தது .ஆனா பொது மக்களுக்கு பிடிக்காது .கமர்சியல் வேலியூ இல்லை .ரொம்ப சீரியஸா இருக்கு படம்" ..some other says "படம் நல்லா இருந்தது .ஆனால் அந்த குடை சண்டை மாதிரி மசாலா -ல்லாம் தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம் .அதான் படம் ஓடல்ல" ..I don't find who is correct ?

btw, went through the discussions !
I agree with JOE here. Anbe sivam couldn't even run for months in towns. Again, it is also with people like me. I watched VV more # of times compared to Anbe Sivan and there lies the difference. People like me tend to appreciate movies / STARS basedon our own priorities. So, we also contribute to its failure indirectly

P.S: I watched Anbe sivam in the theatre ofcourse

A lot of discussion's on Hey ram,My few thoughts:It failed becos it was long&tested the patience of the viewer thro' too much symbolism&nuances.

No,am not criticising the movie-just telling why it flopped big time.

I blame Kamal to some extent on this-he hyped it up so much that the FDFS crowd was your 'mass'who came expecting something completely different.

For example:If you go in to 10A&get Hey Ram-what will happen???

Ideally,movies like this should have just enough publicity-neither too much nor too little.Also the mind of the viewer should be conditioned via interviews,nuggets, to expect something radically different.

Kamal got it right in 'Mahanadhi'-it had no overdose of publicity,ppl didn't go in expecting to be 'entertained'&so it was a 'success'(relatively speaking).

kannann is damn right-ppl accept realistic movies if they are straightforward(Kamal himself has a lot of examples-Moondram Pirai,Sagara Sangaman,Swathi Muthyam)but the moment you elevate it to another level,it goes above the head.

Also the 'Homevideo' segment is indeed pathetic.If there is piracy,then bring down prices to their level(like Moser Baer has done).

Kamal has mentioned it so many times,I still wonder why he has not taken the initiative.For a start,how about DVD's of all his productions in diff combo packs?There is a market out there waiting for it.

IMO

1)Lack of commercial songs,
2)female audience

are the main reasons.

out of Guna,mahanadhi,kuruthipunal,Heyram and Anbesivam

Guna, mahanadhi and kuruthipunal did well in A and B centers and failed in C centers.

Heyram and anbesivam did average business in A centers and wash out in B and C.

(In Tamilnadu, movie's box office depends on B and c centers)

Till 1990(up to MMKR), kamal movies did well in box office.

In 1991 Guna released with dhalapathi on diwali.

that time dhalapathi had huge expectations(double of shivaji) due to the combination of
Mani,Rajini,ilayaraja and mammotty and songs also became super hit...

but if you take Guna, Except kamal, Director was santhana bharati,herione was new face
and songs were looked like 'jingles'. all kamal fans disappointed with songs and decided that
movie would be damp squib.

show started on previous day(10pm show) of diwali in madurai mathi theatre and movie declared as extra ordinary.
no body expected that movie like that....

on diwali day show started on early morning (5.00am show) and went on till midnight(12.00am show)
Diwali 2nd day show started on 8.00am.

remember female didn't like that movie... hardly 10 females only came to the theatre in first 3 days.
theatre was occupied with full and full youngsters...

In madurai Guna ran 100 days in abirami theatre and 80 days in mathi theatre.

(Guna released in abirami and dhalapathy released in ambigai. just like Abirami and sakthi abirami in chennai)

Dhalapathy ran 125 days in ambigai theatre.

same in chennai also. Guna ran 100 days(regular shows) in devi paradise and dhalapathy ran 175 days in sakthi abirami.
after 100 days it ran only MS.

now you can imagaine about which movie got more audience in A centers....

during guna relase, I went to nellai,virudhunagar,pattukottai for some personal works.

In nellai even after 50 days there was huge crowd in front of the guna released theatre....

guna ran 70 days and dhalapathy ran 100 days in nellai.

In virudhunagar guna ran 20 days and dhalapathy ran 30 days.

In pattukottai guna ran 30 days and dhalapathy ran 50 days.

In B centers there is no big difference between guna and dhalapathy...

if ladies liked the movie and if it had some commercial songs, defenitely Guna would be block buster.

same thing applied to Mahanadhi,kuruthipunal,heyram and anbesivam...

all those movies didn't have commercial songs and also ladies didn't like...

Mahanadhi ran 100 days and kuruthipunal ran 85 days in madurai.

kuruthipunal did better business in b centers.
In virudhunagar it ran 40 days(if movie run 50 days in 'b' centers, movie is super hit)

language is not a big issue.

In madurai 'hum apke hain kown' ran 250 days, 'Tezab' ran 100 days..

Main reason was songs....

my friend saw 'HAHK' 10 times for songs only...

Songs play very big role apart from hero and story in tamil film industry.
for songs alone people will come to the theatre.

I partially agree with you on "songs". Songs play a vital role in making a movie a 'hit'. onnu reNdu exceptions irukkalAm but most of the time songs help. MGR movies are good examples. And I also agree when you say about Shankar movies. Any shankar movie minus songs will be considerably ineffective. Same applies to some MR movies. Just imagine an Agni Natchathiram , Anjali, Roja or Bombay without those lovely songs. Can quote many examples like this. I remember during "Kakka Kakka" release Goutham mentioned that the songs were the major reason for the un expected huge opening the movie received. Yes songs DOES make an impact

But songs alone cannot make a movie succeed !

Regarding Guna - I am not convinced about one aspect till now even after repeated viewings. That is the "Heroine". I still wonder why KH chose her

ok back to kamal!

in older movies like nizhal nijamaagirathu, sigappu rojaakkal, aandavar speaks and behaves as atheist, looks like he got freedom from KB and Barathiraja, those days itself ??!!

From: Prabhu Ram on Fri Jul 13 14:53:48 2007.

Also the 'Homevideo' segment is indeed pathetic.If there is piracy,then bring down prices to their level(like Moser Baer has done).

Kamal has mentioned it so many times,I still wonder why he has not taken the initiative.For a start,how about DVD's of all his productions in diff combo packs?There is a market out there waiting for it.

Last year I missed VV (it ran for only 2 weekends in the city I was in). So for the first time I watched a movie online. But I am not going to be holier than thou about it. Simply because the gap between supply and demand is too damn big. My patience and honesty are wearing thin in my DVD search.

For instance, MMKR is not available on DVD (only VCD).
Got a pretty ordinary quality DVDs for Nayagan and Mahanadhi (extra features-A appidinnA enna ?). And not even that for Hey Ram, VirumaanDi. Recently managed to get Nammavar DVD (Moser Baer). No Aboorva SahOdarargaL, Dathi LeelAvathi

The DVDs available are Avvai,PKS etc, which are not things one is keen on owning.

Rajkamal can surely bring out a combi DVD. With lots of additional features (imagine Kamal's commentary for Hey ! Ram). People would pay good money for it.

1)Is Rajkamal planning to bring out DVD's of their productions?If no,then how about asking them Why???After all KH keeps talking about the 'Home video'thing in many functions.

2)'Magalir Mattum'was remade in Hindi by Rajkamal.Randhir Kapoor played Nasser's role while the 'dead body'played by Nagesh was re-enacted by Sir.

But the film never got released-Why?&if it's complete how about releasing it directly on TV&VCD/DVD now.

KH followed Randhir kapoor&got him to make a comeback.Heera(playing Revathi's role),Seema Biswas(for Rohini)were part of the cast.Have forgotton who was signed to play the role acted brilliantly by Urvashi in the original(can you refresh my memory pls).

Late songwriter Shailendra's son was the director.It was titled 'Ladies Only'&am sure the film was completed.

The market is abuzz with rumours that UTV the Mumbai based corporate, controlled by Ronnie Screwala, had met Kamal Hassan in Mumbai, to hold talks on the sale of Dasavatharam. Kamal is said to be very keen that the deal goes through, as UTV, the producers of films like Rang De Basanti, knows the art of marketing especially in overseas markets.
The producer of Dasavatharam 'Oscar' Ravichandran is caught between the devil and deep sea. He is giving the UTV proposal a serious thought, as the film is almost 90 percent complete, and at the end of the day it may cost him between Rs 35 to 40 Crore. He may be able to market it in the range of Rs 50 to Rs 55 crore. But the buzz is that UTV is offering him a decent deal which includes Tamilnadu theatrical rights.

If Ravi sells out to UTV, he can kiss goodbye to his dreams of making 'Oscar films' a listed company and a major player in the big league. Ravi's strength is his marketing capabilities and reach among theatres in Tamilnadu. Dasavatharam is his big ticket to corporatisation and his company turning into a national brand. Remember at the time of Anniyan release, he refused a Coke sponsorship, because he did not want the cola giant to piggy back on his film!

UTV has already a tie-up with `Radaan Media Works` of Radhika Sarath Kumar and they are the co-producers of Priya.V directed Kanaampoochi Yenada, starring Pritviraj, Sandhya, Sathyaraj, and Radhika due for release in August. So if UTV buys Dasavatharam, they will also insist on Tamilnadu theatrical rights, something dear to 'Oscar'Ravi, who controls about 50 theatres in NSC area.

The ball is clearly in Ravi's court, he has to take a call on it. The man is a conservative old fashioned businessman, who is trying desperately to fend off the invaders from North. Ravi believes that pots of money is not the only criteria, but it is valuable experience at the grassroot level and knowledge of the local market, which will ultimately decide the winner.

just finished watching Nayagan. as usual, the father-daughter confrontation scene and the surya's death scene turned on tears, also some thoughts......nayagan and devarmagan has an unique sequence....
after DM, kamal's serious attempts were kuruthippunal, Indian, heyraam, aalavanthaan, anbe sivam, Virumaandi, VV [excluding his comedies] DM and nayagan had the father and son\daughter confrontation scene....in nayagan, kamal was father and in DM he was son....those confrontation scenes were top notch and even formed a crux of the story, i mean, a hot discussion inside a family due to outside effects, naturally they throwed in some sentimental feelings too.. nowadays kamal is too much away from family plot. his movis speak more soceity, very deeply. but if he again spins together this family plot along with some social factors i think that would be great...

i left Indian and Virumaandi as they had slight similar scenes
indian - father and son argues abt bribery
virumaandi - arguements with annalakshmi. but these were not developed toomuch as like DM or Nayakan....in Nayakan, the father daughter interaction scenes comes longer...[and thatswhy nayakan 2nd half is more powerful than the 1st half]

the girl questions her father if he is responsible form mom's death. then the famous confrontation scene, then after surya's death, again meet as nasser's wife, and in the utterfamous climax, where his grandson too questions[again sentiment here.....]

one failed [and not so developed] similar attempt was in Unnaal mudiyum thambi. HeyRaam too had lot of scenes around saketh's family but ....anyway we discussed it sea deep already....Even Aalavanthaan too was around a faily, two twins but that relationship angle was not so developed....except for the intro and in flashback, brothers dont meet at all....

i use to wish, kamal to make an movie based on the theme" all social changes begin at home " but he had slightly touched that here and there , esp in DevarMagan. but its worth touching a strong family plot along with some social issue taken..

I always thought kamal shud come back home[plot] again as it may attract wider audiences....

`தசாவதாரம்' படத்தில்
`ஜார்ஜ் புஷ்' வேடத்தில், கமலஹாசன்
ரஜினிகாந்த் கட்டித்தழுவி வாழ்த்தினார்

சென்னை, ஜுலை.17-

`தசாவதாரம்' படத்துக்காக, அமெரிக்க அதிபர் ஜார்ஜ் புஷ் வேடத்தில் இருந்த கமலஹாசனை, ரஜினிகாந்த் நேரில் சந்தித்து, கட்டித்தழுவி வாழ்த்தினார்.

`தசாவதாரம்'

ஆஸ்கார் பிலிம்ஸ் வி.ரவிச்சந்திரன் தயாரிக்கும் `தசாவதாரம்' படத்தில், கமலஹாசன் 10 வேடங்களில் நடிக்கிறார். இந்த படத்தை கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் டைரக்டு செய்கிறார்.

கமலஹாசன் ஜோடியாக அசின் இரட்டை வேடங்களில் நடிக்கிறார். இன்னொரு ஜோடியாக ஜெயப்பிரதா நடிக்கிறார். பிரபல இந்தி நடிகை மல்லிகா ஷெராவத் முக்கிய கதாபாத்திரத்தில் நடிக்கிறார்.

ரஜினிகாந்த் நடித்து சமீபத்தில் திரைக்கு வந்த `சிவாஜி' படத்தைப்போல், கமலஹாசன் நடிக்கும் `தசாவதாரம்' படமும் மிகுந்த எதிர்பார்ப்பையும், பரபரப்பையும் ஏற்படுத்தி இருக்கிறது.

ரூ.5 கோடியில் `செட்'

இந்த படத்துக்காக, சென்னையை அடுத்த கிழக்கு கடற்கரை சாலையில், ரூ.5 கோடி செலவில் மிக பிரமாண்டமான ஒரு அரங்கு அமைக்கப்பட்டு, அதில் 20 நாட்கள் படப்பிடிப்பு நடந்தது.

படத்தில், `சுனாமி' காட்சியும் இடம் பெறுகிறது. இதற்காக, மிகப்பெரிய கடல் அரங்கம் அமைக்கப்பட்டு, அதில் படப்பிடிப்பு நடந்தது. சில காட்சிகள், அமெரிக்காவில் படமாக்கப்பட்டன.

ஜார்ஜ் புஷ்

கமலஹாசனின் 10 வேடங்களில், அமெரிக்க அதிபர் ஜார்ஜ் புஷ் வேடமும் ஒன்று. இதற்காக சென்னை பிலிம்சிட்டியில், வெள்ளை மாளிகை போன்ற ஒரு `செட்,' பல கோடி ரூபாய் செலவில் அமைக்கப்பட்டது. அதில், நேற்று படப்பிடிப்பு தொடங்கியது.

கமலஹாசன், நேற்று அதிகாலை 3 மணிக்கே எழுந்து, `ஜார்ஜ் புஷ்' வேடம் போட ஆரம்பித்தார். வெளிநாட்டு ஒப்பனையாளர்கள் மூன்று பேர் சேர்ந்து கமலஹாசனுக்கு மேக்கப் போட்டார்கள். காலை 9 மணிக்கு `மேக்கப்' முடிந்து கமலஹாசன் வெளியில் வந்தார். நேராக, வெள்ளை மாளிகை `செட்'டுக்கு சென்றார். அதன்பிறகு படப்பிடிப்பு தொடங்கியது.

ரஜினிகாந்த்

`தசாவதாரம்' படத்தில், கமலஹாசன் `ஜார்ஜ் புஷ்' ஆக நடிப்பது பற்றி கேள்விப்பட்டதும், அவரை நேரில் சந்தித்து வாழ்த்து சொல்ல ரஜினிகாந்த் விரும்பினார். காலை 11 மணிக்கு அவர், `பிலிம் சிட்டி'க்கு வந்தார். வெள்ளை மாளிகை போன்ற அரங்கை பார்த்து வியந்தார்.

பின்னர், `ஜார்ஜ் புஷ்' வேடத்தில் இருந்த கமலஹாசனை சந்தித்து, கட்டித்தழுவி வாழ்த்தினார். இரண்டு பேரும் 30 நிமிடங்கள் தனியாக அமர்ந்து பேசினார்கள். அதன்பிறகு ரஜினிகாந்த் அங்கிருந்து புறப்பட்டு சென்றார்.

அமெரிக்க தூதரக அதிகாரி டேவிட் ஹூப்பர், நேற்று பிலிம்சிட்டிக்கு வந்தார். வெள்ளை மாளிகை போல் அமைக்கப்பட்டிருந்த `செட்'டைப் பார்த்து, `தசாவதாரம்' பட குழுவினரிடம் பாராட்டு தெரிவித்தார்

I suppose I am one of the lucky few to own a Hey Ram VCD; my sister bought it in Singapore at Mustaffa (Thank you Mustaffa!! Long may you reign!). I'm starting to get concerned with the quality of the latest DVDs I've received from home, especially the 2 or 3 in 1 disks. The quality isn't as good as the single movie disks. I have a VV and VRMBBS- not as sharp as my VRMBBS on single disk.

I don't have a choice so I do have to get VCDs and DVDs, but I draw the line on viewing a movie on line (PR, my heart goes out to you ).

It might not be what you expected from IR at that time.

But the following songs are Hits.

1.Naan Poveduthu Vaikkanum Pinnala
2.Semparuthi poove singaaram kandu
3.Oru Nilavum malarum nadanam puriyum
4.Ayirathil neeyoruthan

Rajaram, some of our details are wrong.. Uyarntha Ullam crap movie-aa??

But songs alone cannot make a movie succeed !

Quote:

As of my knowledge
some movie became hit because of songs only.

Amman kovil kizakkale (got bad review from media) - ran 140 days in madurai

pudhu pudhu arthangal(got bad review from media) - ran 140 days.

Ninaive oru sangeetham - ran 175 days in madurai

Uyire unakkaha - ran 100 days.

karahattakkaran - ran 365 days(because of songs and comedy)

pattukku naan adimai - ran 100 days.

Sankar guru - ran 100 days(because of 'kuthu' songs by chandrabose)

Thendrale ennai thodu - ran 100 days

and some more movies I forgot...

There was a time when songs singlehandedly decided the movies' verdict.That was when IR was at his peak.That obviously was the reason that IRs photo was part of many movie posters then(First MD to appear in cinema posters).

We also know that Kamal was part of quite a few (or lot) of masala movies in the 80s.So,we can pick some "not so good" movies that did "reasonably well" that time.

It is no more the case.At present,no MD in tamil cinema can make a movie run only for songs.Infact, the scenario is reverse now.If the songs were to be superhits,movie got to be atleast a hit.

To add,even junk and low quality songs associated with Hit movies,with good marketing (and repeated telecast in SUN), make it big.There are plenty of examples for this.

We all are looking for a good content and quality from DV.When we have this and is entertaining,movie would surely rock.

Himeshs' songs are generally monotonous and run-of-the-mill,but who cares,they become HITs

bottomline..Songs would not matter at all in deciding the fate of the movie..KAMAL is the factor and the only one who maters in DV; no one else.

www.universalherokamal.com has some more special achivements of kamal including 5 superhits in a year and so on.

I have one special and unique achievement of kamal to list here:-

..only actor (in the universe) with DIRECT hits in five different languages..Tamil(so many),Telugu(swathimuthyam,...), malayalam(chanakyan,..),Hindi(ektujekeliya,...),Kannada(Ramabhamashama,pushpak,..).
This perhaps is a critical achivement..That is big commercial hits in different languages.

NO OTHER ACTOR ACROSS THE WORLD IS EVER GOING TO MAKE THIS.This is a very Unique achivement,being a kamal fan,I am very proud of..

Simply unparalleled Smile

How to spell Kamalji's name....a interesting info

http://allthingskamal.info/blog/2007/07/22/whats-in-a-name/

What�s in a name?
by randramble | July 22nd, 2007

Many are confused about Kamal�s name � the way it�s supposed to be written especially. I mentioned this in passing in the very first post on this blog, but realised that the name is tangled beyond redemption. Anyway, let me do my bit in clearing it up.

Till around the early eighties, his name was featured in movies as �Kamalahaasan� (or �Kamalhasan�, if you will � Tamil: கமலஹாசன்). That is his original name. I�m not so sure about the unusual �Haasan� suffix being attributed to his father�s fondness for an friend though. The name actually means something like the man who laughs whole-heartedly just as a lotus blooms wide, in Sanskrit.

When he ventured into Bollywood, In all probability, it got distorted as �Kamalahassan� or �Kamal Hassan�. In fact, due to this, there are many who believe he�s a Muslim!

For whatever reason, he seemed to have felt the need for a surname, much like many South Indians have discovered in recent times. So, he split up his name into two � �Kamal Haasan�. His daughters use the surname; even his ex-wife Sarika used to.

So, that�s about it. No big mystery. Just something people didn�t pause to take note of and understand.

[Thanx to Wikipedia for filling in a few gaps.]

i, for most of the times use kamal haasan and rarel mentioned as hassan Smile

Kamal's father Mr.Srinivasan was a Congress party member and a freedom fighter. He was put in prison (I think) during the Non-Cooperation Movement, where he met Yakub Hasan, a prominent Congress leader at that time. The latter made such an impression on him that he named all his sons Hasan.[/tscii]
