விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தில், சர்ச்சைகளை கொஞ்சம் மறந்துவிட்டு பார்த்தால், கமலின் புதிய பரிமாணம் சினிமா ரசிகர்களை பிரமிக்க வைத்திருக்கிறது. ஒரு இயக்குநராக ஹேராமிலேயே தனது 'க்ளாஸ்'ஐ நிரூபித்துவிட்டவர் கமல். அவரது நடிப்புக்கு புதிதாக சான்றிதழ் தேவையில்லைதான்.ஆனால் விஸ்வரூபத்தில் அந்த கதக் கலைஞராக வரும் முதல் 30 நிமிடங்களைப் பார்க்கும் எந்த சக கலைஞரும் கமலை நேசிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிடுவார்கள். அந்த அளவு மிக நுட்பமாக உணர்வுகளை வெளிப்படுத்தியிருப்பார் கமல்.குறிப்பாக 'உன்னைக் காணாத..' பாடலின் வரிகளுக்கு, இசைக்கு கமல் தரும் பாவங்கள் இருக்கிறதே.. அந்த கதக் மாஸ்டரே எழுந்து நின்று கைத்தட்டிப் பாராட்டியதாக வந்த செய்திகளில் கொஞ்சமும் மிகையில்லை என்றுதான் சொல்ல வேண்டும்.கமல்ஹாஸன் நடையை எத்தனையோ படங்களில், எத்தனையோ விதங்களில் பார்த்திருப்போம். ஆனால் அமெரிக்க வீதிகளில் ஒரு நடனப் பெண்ணின் நளினத்தோடு நடந்து செல்வார் பாருங்கள்... ஏபிசி என அத்தனை க்ளாஸ் ரசிகர்களின் அப்ளாஸ்களையும் அள்ளும் நடிப்பு அது.முதல் 30 நிமிடங்கள் ஒரு நாட்டியக் கலைஞனாகவே மாறிவிட்டார் கமல். போனை எடுக்க வரும்போது ஒரு நடை நடக்கிறார், சாலையில் ஓடும்போது, பேசும்போது காட்டும் முகபாவம், குரல், விரல்களால் முடியைக் கோதும்போது, கண்களில் நளினம் காட்டும்போது என மிக நுண்ணியமான விஷயங்களில் மிக மிக பிரயாசைப்பட்டு தனக்கு நிகர் ஒரு நடிகன் இல்லை என்பதை மீண்டும் நிரூபித்திருக்கிறார்.அதே போல நாட்டியக் கலைஞன் என்ற மறைப்பிலிருந்து அவர் உண்மையிலேயே யார் என்பதை வெளிக்காட்டும் சூழல், அதை அவர் உணர்த்தும் விதம்... நடிப்புக்கு தனி இலக்கணமே சொல்கிறது.மென்மை நடிப்பு மட்டுமல்ல... மிரளவைக்கும் ஆக்ஷனிலும் தனது நடிப்பு உலகத் தரம் என்பதை அழுத்தமாக நிரூபித்திருக்கிறார் கமல். ஜேம்ஸ்பாண்ட், இங்கிலாந்து துப்பறியும் நிபுணர் போல... இந்திய சினிமாவுக்கு கமல் ஒரு உதாரண கேரக்டரை உருவாக்கியிருக்கிறார் என்றால் மிகையல்ல.இந்த விஸ்வரூபத்தில் விமர்சனங்களுக்கு அப்பாற்பட்டு வசூலில் முதலிடத்தைப் பிடித்திருப்பது கமல் எனும் அற்புதமான நடிகனே என்பது ரசிகர்களின், விமர்சகர்களின் ஒட்டுமொத்த தீர்ப்பு!

Welcome back in this new thread. Initial response of en iniya tamizh makkal confirms this is massive hit.
Thanks ta for posting av review. But felt disappointed.av rev normally leaves a lasting flavour which is missing. Very bad it tells entire story and very bad it gave only 46. If i'm not wrong it gave 60 for nayakan and guna.

UV... We should not give much importance to those immatured reviews who reveal the story plot. In the name of journalism, they degrade the art of reveiew. Who cares about their marks nowadays? Compare our HUB people reviews with AV and decise where they stand.

Movie Review - Vishwaroopam: Saga of faith in troubled times
(Reuters) - For a spy thriller that has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, "Vishwaroopam" is surprisingly tame.
What I'll remember most about "Vishwaroopam" is its technical finesse, breathtaking locations, stark imagery and a crisp edit.
The film features at least three different religions and five nationalities. It never takes a stance on which God is greater, nor does it brand you a freedom fighter or a radical militant. The central message is that bloodshed will lead to more bloodshed.
But first let's talk of Kamal Haasan -- writer, producer, lead actor -- who plays a dance teacher in New York. His wife hires a detective to tail him, setting off a chain of events that sees the action shift from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to the dusty sands of Afghanistan.
The build-up is steady, with dialogue that doesn't induce boredom and the twist which reveals a layer to Haasan's character is absolutely unexpected and brilliant. To reveal any more of the plot would be an injustice.
Let's just say that the al Qaeda and the travails of living in a post-9/11 world play an important role in the film. "Vishwaroopam" is also not for the queasy. You might want to shut your eyes for the bloodied combat sequences.
Rahul Bose impresses as the main villain of the piece while "Elizabeth" director Shekhar Kapur makes a delightful cameo. But it's Haasan who single-handedly shoulders the film -- in three different roles, no less.
A couple of over-the-top sequences aside, "Vishwaroopam" is a work of art that surpasses Bollywood potboilers and tries to initiate a conversation about a not-so-perfect world and its great religious divide. Watch it for Haasan and your right to freedom of expression.

After seeing the videos of celebration in TN, I could not sit in the office, bunked the office and watched again today. The experience of watching in a theater with good audio system is entirely different. With the 7.X audio system in PVR Gold itself I felt "silirppu" in many places, thinking how it will be if I watch it in Auro 3D...
Experience is entirely different and the movie looks better than the last viewing ... Sooooooooooperb!!
The transformation scene is excellent and never before i have experienced in Tamil Cinema...
Action scenes and entire Afgan portions thrilled to the core... Best experience in Theater..
Let me borrow the words of Balu Mahendra - "Kamal hasan is mad" and making us mad with this kind of great movies!!

If you compare VR with epics such as Hey ram/Mahanadhi, there is very little in VR. But KH did not get the deserved acclaim for making those movies. I dont think we should read too much into the praise that comes in twitter by celebrities/NI media etc for VR. as those people did not even had brains to praise KH's earlier good movies.
Honestly I dont think the real fans want KH's movie to be praised for action sequences & visual effects. You go to KH movies for brilliant dialogues/screenplay & characterization. Somewhere you feel they are missing in VR. A second attempt to see the movie may help to search those missing pieces....

If it was a balance even between story telling and technical improvements, one would be happy. But the movie seems to have gone into a technical orientation than story. You dont understand certain links at all. For example Kamal's background (his values/belief) is not revelaed at all and hence his genuiness in caring for Afghan killings dont look touching. 'Anu vidyatha' song kind of lacks purpose as KH as a chracter is not properly revelaed. Comparing it with Anbe Sivam, you understand the character's values and the song 'Anbe Sivam' will etch in your memory for ever. KH has remarkable talent of defining characters through simple dialogues that carry/explain the story. (Mahanadhi Kamal's friend's dialogue about KH's wife and her death, Valli being introduced in HR with him telling KH that nothing is gained by not shaving or not going to job for 6 months and KH will have a son who will be a re-birth of his dead father. The characters are introduced, what happened for 6 mths is explained). For a man of this kind of talent, VR does not show much in that area.
13 years later we still speak about HR. We still speak about Mahanadhi dialogues & Kurudipunal. Not sure we would be speaking about VR 5 years from now.
Technology changes so fast just like technology products become obsolete in a short period.
But well written dialogues/screenplay and characters etch in our memory forever. Not just in 'class' movies, will any one of us forget 'Nagesh' of MMKR or 'Manivannan' of AvvaiShanmughi. That impact is definitely missing but surely 2nd attempt may give me more clarity

Kamal's character was well established according to me. Any normal person who sees a young boy's future turning into a nightmare as in the case of Omar's son would feel for the boy. Well except if he's a jihadi. As a matter of fact Omar himself repents not sending him to London. You could also see Wisam's disdain for his father. Disdain for not only leaving the family in the lurch but also for what he's famous for. He retains the name only to get into the group. Ithukku mela enna venum.....It is easily evident he doesn't approve of the way young children are made to be pawns in a battle of men. The oonjal scene is also an example. You dont need to give any background info to prove Wisam's genuineness...Not required at all... Originally Posted by gsathyaram

KH's interaction with the media :eyes welled up:
Karthi Looking smart and a dignified talk.
gsathyaram-Valid points but this film has an element/s to motivate a second viewing with this high and low arc.The Man deserves this kind of adulation,support and opening to prove a point.Let's not grudge him that.
Also personally feel VR 1&2 together deserve an evaluation and this is not a standalone film.

definitely not bringing down. just that you go with that kind of expectation and also the plot (Afghan etc.) is a great one to make it classic and hence the crib (or moan if you want to call it that way)

Exactly ! And I also see these kind of comparison from people who generally dislike Kamal or people who are unable to digest the success of a Kamal movie (only very few disgruntled souls, this time around). Hey Ram maathiri padam eduthaa ivanga ennavO 10 vatti theaterla paathu hit aakkittuthaan maRu vaelai paakkura maathiri paesuvaanga. The comparison in itself is utterly meaningless given the genres, not just for Kamal movies for any movies for that matter. Originally Posted by venkkiram

5th time with the orkut gang at Woodlands noon show and sixth time with dad, mom, sis, brother in law, nephew, niece, aunts and uncles at Udhayam evening show. Few dialogues were heard.
7th viewing planned on sunday with doctors gang on IMAX screen that has been added this week in Hyderabad.
Ithu verum tech brilliance movie illingo. People watching next time ...... try to observe these things .... I got them in 6th viewing.
# KH carries the dead kid's body and hands it over to Saleem, there is a pistol clasped in the kid's hand ...... he removes it and gives a 2 second reaction
# Because of me only Taufiq is going to die ....... this guilt is manifested when KH holds the transmittor in his hand and the Laser light flashes on and off on his face as if to incriminate himself
# Watch a banner outside the shady Muslim guy's antique shop. ( REFAB WOOD or something like that and the big letters read ..." WE ARE GREEN". Coincidence or intentional ???

Why the hell wouldn't ppl invoke HR or VirumANdi?
It is most natural. It is one thing to say - don't base your expectation based on that. This is different.
And if you read sathyaram's posts I don't think he is ignoring the genre difference - dont brush ALL criticism as a failure to acknowledge this.
Heck, even his last two directorial ventures were not similar were they? They were two brilliantly different animals.
His comment, if I understand it right, is about the limited artistic aspiration of the work itself.
Something Kamal himself said in the pongal interview.

I know I said I wouldn't post till I rewatched but I chipped in because I felt the response to gsathyaram were not appropriate.
geno it's not about elitism. Everyone mentions only hey Ram. What about Virumaandi. It was a box office success - 'sanangaLin padam' thusly, was it not?
I am not even 'judging' Kamal for making a BO blockbuster.
Nor am I saying this is a 'regular masala'
But it is punching below his weight class - to take VirumAndi (let me ignore Hey Ram - as liking a BO failure is elitism) as a standard. And that's a fair statement to make.
That's all for now.

Thats exactly what Kamal addressed in Dasa - Dasa was layered too, but it took the most knowledgeable with the common man and took them on a equitable plane/journey of creative pilgrimage/excursion. And thats why Kamal has chosen the middle path now with VR. He has travelled the Path less travelled with HR. He now wants to take the masses with him on the path less travelled, which is absolutely satiating, wonderful and beautiful to feel it!

Seriously, Virumaandi was Kamal's home ground; vuttu silambam Adi voodu kattitAru. Here in VR. he had to walk the most dangerous kind of tight rope. And has done it brilliantly. Invoking Viru as a benchmark for evaluating VR would only be an exercise of the hair splitting academicians. Its like missing the woods for the trees.

venkkiram - poppy plants for opium ! the scenes that follow, involve the 'gifting' of opium to Kashmiri who politely refuses - a very important subtext to this - Islam says a strict no to 'alcohol' or narcotics - but the Taliban's very existence/survival was/is dependent on illegal opium trafficking - thus, while the Taliban does many things un-Islamic, the RAW agent consciously avoids accepting opium as a gift, coz he is portrayed as an orthodox Muslim and NOT a fundamentalist muslim!
also note, Kashmiri is compassionate & loving (very understated yet palpable in his interactions with Omar's family), sensitive & conscientious (carries an 'emotional baggage') - qualities any normal human being is expected to possess and Islam just happens to be his religion!
in contrast, Omar is an ideology driven fanatic/sociopath, single-mindedly driven to his destructive goals - I wish a little bit more of Omar's human side had been shown to complete the 'greyness' - maybe VR-2 will answer those questions

Kuala Lumpur, Feb 7: Tamil film Vishwaroopam, starring and directed by popular Indian actor Kamal Hassan is almost done with the censorship.
Chairman of Film Censorship Board (LPF), Datuk Raja Azahar when contacted by The Malaysian Times (TMT), said the second censorship is still on-going and the movie will be ready latest by Friday.
“The movie will be sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs for the approval to be released by the distributors, Azhar added.
Earlier, news reported that a total of 16 short segments of the three hour mega budget film will be muted. Azhar, when questioned about the urge by Non-governmental organisations to include an officer fluent in Tamil to censor Tamil movies from India said, he warmly welcomes the entreaty.
“As a multi-language country it is required and important to have expertise in all languages when it comes to censorship”, he told TMT. Azhar also added that the final decision is to be made by the Ministry.
Among the NGOs appealed the request was Indian Muslim Madrasah Council (MIM), Social And Economic Muslim Council, Ikatan Rakyat Insan Muslim, Islamic Studies Institute, Angkatan Belia Malaysia, Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia and Federal Territories Fathers Association.
Vishwaroopam previously was screened nationwide on Jan 24 but banned the next day by the Home Ministry following day due complaints and protest by NGOs, mostly represented by the Indian Muslim community claiming it allegedly being offensive to Muslims.

The Al Qaeda financier part is one big nerudal for me. It is clear that he is involved in narcotics.
is it to show that :
you have commoners,sympathisers,financiers and jihadis.
even though the religion prohibits you from consuming narcotics , the devout jihadis are ok with cultivating and selling it to others thereby funding the jihad.
Wisam is not a cold blooded agent and even he can succumb to feelings of guilt,compassion.
justice is served swiftly and brutally by the jihadis.
Was the character created just to carry the device in the bag so that the NATO forces know about the POWs wherabouts? if this is the case, then based on which device's signal did the NATO forces bomb the first village?kamal could have allowed the audience to guess that Wisam would have alerted NATO through some means.After all you still have 1 or 2 loose ends.
How come Omar didn't even think that why should the financier carry the device even after the attack or could it have been planted by someone else?
am I missing something?

I am NOT - NOT NOT NOT NOT - comparing this with his directorial ventures.
When gsathyaram invoked his earlier greater films to say the quality of writing was better, I thought he got panned. In particular I felt the comment that such people who had a 'higher bar' on Kamal wished him financial failure, was unfair. As Roshan has clarified she wasn't referring to anything here. There ends the matter.
However, for future discussions on this movie, it would be useful to bear in mind that nearly nobody here is saying 'this is just another run of the mill film'. As I have said repeatedly, even Dasa is a film that's quite unlike anything, has a unique Kamal stamp to it. It is only over and above it that any discussions are happening.

From: P_R on 8th February 2013 07:49 AM [Full View]
And geno, Kamal has ALWAYS been a 'agak kaal vaiththu irangum' artist. So it is not like his experiments automatically meant holding back. He carried us all along. That is why I resist HR and emphasized on VirumAndi. (Seems like you have a Periyarist reading of VirumAndi too, that the lay punditry failed to latch on to, we'll discuss it sometime). That's top-notch writing film-making, trusting the audience, same scenes revisited (those who have seen VR know why I am mentioning this). I will not mention a host of other stuff which would be perjoratively labeled 'elitist' but you know what they are without me even listing them.
So the - he had to tone it down to carry the audience along - argument for VR can only be carried so far. While at it, I should acknowledge that I did like how much he trusted the audience to take him as is without going into even greater detail in the backstories. Forget Faraday shield or Afghan history, from a 'pAmara makkaL' pespective doesn't explain 'RAW, ISI' (adhuvum oru vagaiyAna pOlees krooppu), JFK, 'emotional baggage', sublingual, talaaq etc.
His acting was very impressive in the first few minutes.
As I 'knew' the effiminacy was a show I noticed the scenes when Pooja Kumar is away. You can see a shade of difference in the way he is. i.e. he is not 'out of character' but he is much less pronounced than he is with Pooja. You can see it switched back 'on' when talking to Shekar Kapur when the detective is trailing him - he doesn't NEED to - but still he does in the open. i.e. it is not just a put on for an individual (Pooja) but a kind of chosen identity he can't snap easily out of. And it is not just manner of speaking, but even what he says is very feminine : like when inviting people home for dinner -
And naughty writer that he is, he inserts a line about still be 'in character' when explaining his 'Krishna' wail to Farooq.
That whole sequence is good. The typical Kamal-ian 'misunderstanding' humour - worked very well for me.
'Oh nadippA...' to Deepak
Pooja telling Farooq that Kamal's name is Farooq, the 'slobbering' I love you..
But all this also makes me think of how Wizam was always looking like a 'reluctant tourist' in Afghanistan to make it 'easier' for the audience to empathize with his state - when the situ. would demand he be all the more 'in character'- think Dhanush in Kurudhippunal.

And how does Omar readily accept Wizam? Wizam's father is someone they all have a regard for. But Wizam himself mentions they were estranged - i.e. father divorced and left his mother. right? So, even to the terrorists, it is not mentioned what Wizam's backstory is - right? Or did I miss something?

Saw VR - FDLS
I am not a fan of actors, not a critic - a very simple - see films for entertainment only - no crying - no fighting films etc. etc.
(Pancha thanthran, Santosh sub'm, Vassool Raja films are good acc to me)
In the first place never wanted to see VR going by the reason it is an action movie, terrorist movie, etc. Also thought Kamal's story /direction
will be not so simple to understand, bla bla.... so many reasons of a common man.
Forced to go along with my son, who just happened to get three tickets, on line, last row, just at 8 pm yesterday night for show at 10.10 pm
To be very honest, I liked the movie from the beginning. The sudden change over from a dancer to a fighter and then.... and then... was all
brought up very clearly, nicely in flash backs and explaining styles (repeat action). Action scenes at Afghan looked so natural, many scenes made me say 'ooh, ahah...'
The movie is not complicated as any common person thinks (even I was thinking so)
Wonderful direction and again honestly I wish to say, This is the movie of the year.
Dancer Kamal - cho chweet ...enna nalinam, enna acting...
At the war front - mixed emotions, dont know how to say but
The real person - superb control and a fitting role
Mute pannadhu avlava therila. But reviewsla ellam egama explain pannadhaala we can easily
understand what got muted.
Mothathula - vidaa muyarchi VISHWAROOPAM VETRI.
(Ban pannadhu is definitely a vilai-illaa positive publicity for Kamal which has resulted in more
screens. - Y/day night at Brookfields nearly all the screens took vishwaroopam)
Ennoda bayam : 2nd part will be in India... Ipdi thathroopama padam eduthu

But all this also makes me think of how Wizam was always looking like a 'reluctant tourist' in Afghanistan to make it 'easier' for the audience to empathize with his state - when the situ. would demand he be all the more 'in character'- think Dhanush in Kurudhippunal.[/QUOTE]
The 'reluctant terrorist'...IMO...is deliberately shown throughout... to repeatedly highlight the difference between a sane, humane, normal - practicing Muslim ...in contrast to fanatics all around him...
If he had really blurred this distinction...by being 'in character' ...the protests would have really been louder...

Oh Kamal did show.
Omar weeps when his family is killed and questions why Allah had chosen that sort of an end to his family. To which Kamal aptly replies naama jihadis ratham than sindhanum, kanneer sindha koodadhu.

I first watched in six degrees and then in Sathyam. Remember the scene where sound of helicopter starts with deep bass?? At 6d, We could feel the vibrations in the seat along with ripple effect in the visuals... subsequently when I watched it in Sathyam, ripple effect in visuals was missing and then realized that visual effect was result of SCREEN vibrating because of auro 3d effect.

probably, Kamal shud think of re-releasing VR 1 in 25-50 screens while releasing VR 2 in 500 odd screens. Many of us wud like a back to back viewing exp of both the parts in big screen. moreover, those people who watched VR 2 directly without watching VR 1, may want to catch up with the action...

Yesterday I was discussing about Vishwaroopam with a couple of my local Afghan colleagues. I have already told them about it when it was under production and some of them are really eager to see it. Yesterday I told them about the ban and also mentioned some Muslim groups have asked to remove the scenes that show Talibans praying before an attack and they were all laughing. One guy said "Oh come on ! that's the reality. Talibans always pray before any attack. Who are these fools who asked to remove those scenes?"

Not necessarily the photoshoot or the poster of a film should be in the movie. Its mainly taken or designed for promotional activity. Movie stills (taken from the processed film roll) will find place in a movie definitely.

Traders predict that Vishwaroopam is likely to set a new record at Tamil Box Office as the tickets for the next three days have been entirely sold out. The buzz says that the film has collected more than Rs 10 crore (gross) on the opening day. However, official confirmation on figures is yet to be out.

After seeing all the drama for VR-1 censor board will be more strict and also because the playground is India. May be even the concerned teams are already preparing themselves to take over VR-2.
Hope Kamal plays his cards right to avoid the second attack.

Spoiler alert!
I wonder why this point has not yet been covered in the Part2 threads as well as here!
There was this scene (Afghan part) where the camera zooms in on the Gun that Omar's group was using and a fly is seen on the top of the rim and then flying away. It will be great to dissect this part!
Is it the fact that flies feast on the dead and that is a sign or do flies like the smell of gun powder?!?

Baradwaj Rangan's take on the movie.His site will have the unedited opinion I guess.
My few cents on this,
Yes,it's a big action movie but cetainly not dumb
"Who are the hell are you" is told matter-of-fact and is not a hero worshipping line
What was so distracting or giggle worthy about characters speaking broken tamil???
Better actors should have been there in the supporting cast,Oh really!
Finally,did he like the movie or not?Will have to go through the entire comments section on his blog to find out

TIRUCHI, February 8, 2013
Fans savour Kamal’s Vishwaroopam
In Tiruchi city, the movie released in five theatres – Kalaiarangam, Cauvery, Oorvasi, Sri Venkatesa and Vijay Multiplex Cinemas.
The tremendous pre-release buzz – the grand, multi-city audio launch and the introduction of Auro 3D sound technology for the first time in Asia amplifying the excitement – seems to have made Vishwaroopam the most awaited film of the year already. Kamal, besides playing the lead, has produced, directed, penned lyrics, and sung for the spy thriller that’s said to be made at a budget of Rs.95 crore.
As the movie was already released in other parts of the world, Kamal’s fans from Tamil Nadu couldn’t bear the wait.
Die-hard fans travelled to Kerala and Karnataka to watch the movie. Among them was N.Sarathy, secretary, Tiruchi District Kamal Haasan Welfare Association.
“Although I watched the film in Bangalore, there’s nothing like watching it first-day first-show here amidst all the fanfare,” said Mr. Sarathy.
“The film is simply outstanding and is of international standard. Vishwaroopam is a racy ride from start to finish. It has already assumed the proportion of a blockbuster across the world and is sure going to be a treat for cinema-lovers in the State. Kamal has set new benchmarks in not only acting but also direction,” he observed.
Many others echoed similar views. “Every section of the audience will enjoy the film, particularly the terrific action sequences and thalaivar’s performance. You won’t be content with watching Vishwaroopam once.
It’s a technically brilliant movie that transports you to a different land altogether. The art direction and camerawork deserve special mention,” said a visibly-excited Kamal fan S.Badri.
The duo, along with scores of other fans, went about watching all shows of the day.
It’s been a little over two years since Kamal’s previous film ManMadhan Ambu released. The wait, the fans observed, has been worth it.
G.Srinivasan from Thanjavur adds:
Vishwaroopam was screened in various theatres in Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts on Thursday. In Thanjavur the film is running in three theatres - Shanthi and Kamala in GV Complex and Ad-Labs.
Fans of Kamal Haasan led by Dharuma Saravanan, district co-ordinator of the Kamal Haasan Narpani Mandram took out a procession from Periyar statue and came to Shanthi theatre.
Crackers were burst and fans celebrated the release of the film with much fanfare. All three theatres were packed on Thursday for all the shows.
The film was screened at Rajamani theatre at Pattukottai and three theatres in Tiruvarur district - at Tiruvarur, Thiruthuraipoondi and Mannargudi.
Theatre owners said that they expected housefuls in the weekend. Big cut outs of Kamal Haasan and flex boards hailing him decorated the theatres.

Not sure if this can be relied upon. South collection figures are not easily published like in northern belt. For 100 C collection, roughly 1 crore tickets should have been sold. It is estimated that there are roughly 50 lakh movie going population in TN state. Of course there will be repeat audiences etc. Originally Posted by Cinemarasigan

Friday (Feb 8) - #Vishwaroopam gets a solo big release. No opposition as it dominates all screens in TN with even Kadal & KLTA missing out!
#Vishwaroopam grossed $1million in USA and was declared as a BlockBuster in the US BOX OFFICE!

I have heard only two songs from VR till date, (courtesy FM stations: Yaar endru therigiratha, Unnai kaanaadha naal) and felt very refreshed realising that KH hasnt sung those two dunno abt the other songs, but I sincerely feel Kamal should stop singing in movies. the prelude to the kathak song with Kamal's voice reminded me of "kadavul paadhi...mirugam paadhi" song and sent shivers down my spine 
... 'poachu, innoru aalavandaan in the making' appadinnu manasukkulla mudive pannitten
.... then got relieved realising that the main song is sung by Shankar Mahadevan 
not to undermine kamal's musical knowledge and singing abilities, I feel he should stop singing in movies and just concentrate as a writer/director/actor. This is purely a personal opinion and I am not open to discussion on this...just felt like sharing it anyway...

Sreedhar Pillai @sri50
#Vishwaroopam . Added 2 that it had 30 % entertainment tax + release late by 13 days. Those films which had collected more were U, no tax.
Sreedhar Pillai @sri50
@KamalHaasanFans After Mankatha became a hit, the new rules and 30% tax came. Nobody can give an authentic b-o figure 4 any film in TN.

Don't quite agree with brangan that 'we've seen it all' as an actor. I felt no such fatigue.
The fuzzily 'out of character' is there in many moments without Nirupama before snapping out.
Even in the 'unai kANAdha' he is seemingly immersed in 'bhAvam' before snapping out to clap a 'thaaLam' - drawing his students' attention.

எல்லாவற்றையுமே வசனங்களால் உணர்த்தினால் மட்டுமே புரிந்துக் கொள்ளக் கூடிய பலகீனமான கூட்டத்திலிருந்து வந்தவராக சவுக்கு தென்படுகிறார். பெரும்பாலான ஊடக விமர்சன மக்களிடமே இந்தப் பொதுபுத்தி நிறைந்து காணப்படுகிறது. கமலும் இந்தப் புரிதலில் உள்ள வித்தியாசத்தை -குறைக்கும் பொருட்டு எந்த முயற்சியிலும் ஈடுபடுவதாகத் தெரியவில்லை. இதே கூட்டம்தான் ஹேராம் காந்திக்கு எதிரானது, முஸ்லீம் சமுகத்திற்கு எதிரானது என்ற பார்வையைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. "இன்னொரு முறை பாருங்கள் புரியும்" என ஊடகவியலாரிடம் கமல் பேசினால் மட்டும் தெளிந்து விடப் போகிறாரா? இலக்கு வெகுஜன மக்களாக இருந்தாலும் விமர்சனத் தரகர்களை ஒழுங்கு படுத்துவதில் கமலுக்கு பெரும் பொறுப்பு இருக்கிறது. ஆனந்த விகடன் போன்ற இதழ்களுக்காவது விமர்சனத்தின் மீதான மறுப்பு எழுத கமல் முன்வரணும்.

P_R,
Rangan IMO is one of the credible guys around and we need more like him than the Prasanna Zore,Sukanya verma and the likes.
Of course he too will carry biases,will be opiniated at times but can have a rational conversation with him on his blog.
I will await his elaborate piece but matter will remain the same.
To call this movie dumb is plain unfair and to say Kamal gives a solid performance but given his career span,we have seen it all has to be disagreed.
Just the kathak dance was so fresh,can't imagine anybody else doing it.
The humour too worked big time for me,never felt somebody else should have been pkaying this role.
Will post all this on his blog when the VR article is out.

CF I am not sure why everyone is thinking he is discounting the movie in totality.
I guess he meant 'dumb' in the sense - nothing more to it than the surface - which is not the case 'even' in Dasavatharam. I don't find that too perjorative.
It indeed IS a straightshooting actioner - you kinda get what is going to happen next always. don't you. But over and above all that, it is nothing like anything because of the filmmaker Kamal - which is again something Brangan mentions (but curious he should mention that as if it is something new).
I didn't mean his full piece will be different in content. But he would elaborate more on his views 'ngREn.
A few questions..
a) Post interval scene- when they are back home - how does Dawkins know about the package in the antique shop?
b) Omar tells Salim - AFTER the failed chase - to leave Wizam to the FBI. But how is FBI on their tail in the first place? Jagannath was anticipating them and was in a hurry
c) Why did they open the safe? The currency was hurled in the air and all that. But were they looking for something in it?

PR, Kamal and Co knowing about FBI, parcel in antique shop no clue were given in scenes. GUess we need to assume they somehow bugged Omars office too. And opening the safe and taking money iguess only will be answered in VR2

Kamal and gang are in co-ordination with top level like CIA .. but not with FBI/NYPD .. its easily understandable..
how they got to the antique shop is not told in the movie, but they cud have an insider in omar gang..

P_R,
I atleast never said Rangan has discounted the movie.But 'dumb' is a pretty strong word to use.
He himself has written on film maker KH and so as you mentioned,s seperate line for that looks odd.
Do not agree with him on the supporting cast too,I think everyone did well.
Anyways,he will be the right person to answer.
Q's on the movie,I too have
a)What was the parcel in the antique shop in the 1st place?
b)The statues,were they just used for holding material-USB sticks etc?Pooja packs it, doesn't she,then is asked to discard the whole thing.So are we to assume that they all got left over at his house.
c)Your Q repeat-How does Dawkins know Munawar is the guy who's supposed to go there.If you noticed,it's the same Munawar who was there in the Afghan portions.
d)The entire Peter following episode I felt was a bit clumsy.It is a very important part as Kamal's real face would get exposed.Being a RAW agent and knowing well that he is being followed,was it so difficult to shake him off much before they reached the ware house.
The bolt he does after conversation with Shekar Kapur,Peter following him and then his accidental visit to the ware house looked too convenient.
e)Wizam breaking into the gang,again looked too easy.These guys are pro's and would have done a thorough backcheck.How did he pass it?
f)Omar tells Salim after passing Wizam and gang in the car that he knows where they are going and they should inform the FBI and they will do the needful.
Wizam and co deduce that after their escape from the ware house,it's a matter of time before all the other's catch up with them.
I am hoping VR 2 will have answers,it better have

Nasc,
Thanks.
The thought that the initial sequences were deliberate crossed my mind.
Otherwise a top notch, pro, RAW agent who knows somebody is following him(the 'Maama,Niru anupcha dhadiyan en pinnaleyevarran' line is an indicator) leading him till the warehouse looks silly.
Also the readiness ,as you said ,with which he accepts he is a M.
Think the time had come for the exposure.
But still feel it could have been filmed better.
I raised the statues thing as Anban mentioned somewhere here that they will play a role in Part 2.
As for the infiltration,they were taking a chance by floating the 'Wanted' photograph.They were hoping,more than the money,the chance of getting another highly motivated jihadi would lead him inside.
But an indicator that he passed a backcheck would have lent more credibility.

Saw it second time in Mayaajaal Auro 3D last night!
a) Dawkins is the MI6 spook that the RAW agents are collaborating with; Every nitty gritty detail about - these American-British-Indian agents watching over suspected/sleeper Al-qaeda cells need not be told, strictly on a need to know basis, thats how this game works. They have already come to know of the fact that the "Antique shop" is a 'Safe house" kind of conduit place that these al qaeda/taliban elements, and were in the know of "something" coming in there.

ii) Some american "agency" was smelling the Col. Jagannath/Dawkins/Wiz group and ratted it to the Investigation team of the FBI to stop them in the tracks, this seems very unlikely though.
c)
i ) Wiz & Co. Probably chose Nirupama to be the best cover for Wiz as his wife, because she was going to be a nuclear oncologist and they could have use for her.
ii) Wiz & co. helped Nirupama get the Job at Deepaks place because she can be bugged by them, and they were already in the know that deepak was helping the Omar's group in procuring ceasiuim by shady means.
iii) Wiz's intention is to examine teh Safe for any incriminating documents that they can use to build teh case for the missing ceasiuim on Omar group, rather than just confiscating the money - Hence Wiz openly shows his non-inclination by throwing the money in the air(money wasnt the object)...he also shows to his wife that he isnt interested in that money - buit only in the records trail to find out the buyer of the ceasium ..
Intersetingly Even though Wiz married Nirupama to maintain and augment and benefit out of that cover (marriage of convenience) - he had started to "feel" for her sometimes..
This is very visible in the way he keeps probing Niru when she lies that she is going for the office (even though he had already known she wont even come for dinner - that "...Akash vaani sollithu" he mentions - indicating that he "heard" Niru going to dinner with her boss, even before she calls him to her that, he must have had a bug in her coat/handbag.
Dawkins when leaving calls him a "Cuckold!" - that is definite giveaway, that the team too knows that - Wiz inspite of teh cover has some feeling for her!
Also the long, dejected look Col. Jagannath gives, from his couch, when she enters late at night! - indicates they feel for Wiz! - this is more than just a cover now...
Also, later in the night when she tip-toes in to the room , wiz pretends he is sleeping, with fake snoring sounds, but he is wide awake, with a pained, helpless, agonised look (Compare and contrast this with the Same Position, Same shot, Same bedroom wide awake scene - in Kuruthippunal, when Adhi knows that Badri is escaping, when he has a Fake health issue and not in the commissioners office to aid in Badris escape, that dejected, self-indicting look)

You mentioned the ease with which he gets into Omar's gang. But Kamal is torn between depicting Wizam's true feelings which the audience can empathize with and authenticity in the gang. Being a distant tourist there can get you killed (yeah I spent a couple of years there so I can tell with certainty, what is 'right' behaviour - ellAm oru yoogam dhaan). Which is why dejectedly flinging your gun away from a dead kid's corpse and visibly swallowing a retort to 'appAvigaLai konna paavam avangaLukku' etc. etc. all didn't work for me - even though I kinda got what he was going for.
For starters he marries her expecting her boss to fall for her - trusting his effeminacy would push her to him - enough to bug to know passwords, access to the lab. Likewise in Afghan having access to the bag, bag-man going to the hideouts with the bag etc. Heck there is a missile that punches a hole through the house a few feet away from him.

CF, they say Nigeria and Abbasi and get a rough match and proceed on a hunch.
And look at how Jaggannath is unapolegetic - 'he's a criminal anyway' is what he says.
And a nice touch to have a black policeman watching the window - who is so American he can't be bothered pronouncing the name 'Abbasi' right. He says 'wasabi or somethin'

Even without nirupama's help or knowledge they were able to bug deepak's office ( remember ashmita telling niru that they have bugged the office and have been listening for the past two years). they know that deepak is helping the jihadists, they know his locker combination, system password,how the cesium is being stolen etc. So even without marrying niru, whiz could have still bugged niru's and deepak's homes,phones,bags,coats etc. Originally Posted by geno

Pirated CDs of Vishwaroopam out
GEORGE TOWN: The banned Kamal Haasan blockbuster spy-thriller Vishwaroopam is allegedly now available as pirated CDs.
The uncensored and crystal clear version, which is being sold secretly at RM15, has however left diehard Kamal Haasan fans here livid.
They want want Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein to explain why the censored version of the movie was still being banned in cinema halls while pirated CDs were making its way into households.
“Why has the Home Ministry not heeded our call to lift the ban on Vishwaroopam?
“Is the government tacitly backing sales of pirated CDs on the banned movie?
“Is the government gaining tax revenue from sales of pirated CDs?” asked Penang Kamal Haasan Fans Club president S Mahendran after leading a 20-minute protest outside the Penang Odeon cinema today.
The fans, who held a similar demonstration last week, reiterated their call on the Home Ministry to immediately lift the ban.
Written, co-produced and directed by Kamal Haasan, Vishwaroopam’s screening was banned in local cinema halls on Jan 25, a day after it opened following complaints to the Home Ministry by Indian Muslim groups.
The groups have alleged that the movie contained scenes and dialogues undermining Muslims and Islam.
The Malaysian ban followed bans in Singapore and in Tamil Nadu.
However, the movie, after several cuts on alleged “sensitive” scenes and dialogues, has resumed screening in Singapore and in Tamil Nadu.
Malaysia now is the only country banning it.
Local film distributors and cinema hall operators were hopeful that Vishwaroopam will be allowed screening this week after the movie underwent 16 scene-cuts.
But this did not materialise.
Meanwhile it was learnt that Hishamuddin has refused to meet with local distributors on the issue yesterday.
Penang Odeon manager A Mohan Dass said Tamil movie fans were calling the cinema hall daily to know when the movie will be screened.
He said fans were puzzled as to why the movie was being banned in Malaysia when it was being screened all over the world.
“It’s sheer hypocrisy. It defeats the whole purpose of the ban,” chided Mohan Dass.
Critics have argued the ban on Vishwaroopam was detrimental against freedom of artistic expression and cine professionalism.
They also criticised the Home Ministry for being inconsistent in protecting religious sensitivities of various communities in the country as it did not ban movies such as ‘Love Guru’, which hurt Hindu sentiments, and ‘The Da Vinci Code’, which allegedly questioned the fundamental myth of Christianity.
They have insisted that the movie illustrated the reality of international terrorism and its operations, and did not hurt religious sentiments.

Surveysan's Review! http://surveysan.blogspot.in/2013/02/blog-post_9.html
விஷ்வரூபம் - இதுவரை எந்த இந்தியப் படத்திலும் கண்டிராத ஒரு தரம். கமல் என்ற உன்னத கலைஞனின் உழைப்பும், அறிவும், ரசனையும்,திறமையும் ஒவ்வொரு ஃப்ரேமிலும் பளீர் பளீர் என்று தெரிகிறது.
இதை வெளிக்கொணர கமல் பட்ட பாடு சொல்லி மாளாது. இவ்வளவு கடின உழைப்பையும், பணச்செலவையும் செய்துவிட்டு, அந்த படைப்பை வெளியிட முடியாததன் சோகம் பெரியதாய்த் தான் இருந்திருக்கும்.
எல்லா பொது ஜனம் போலவும், எனக்கும், விஷ்வரூபத்தை பார்க்கும் முன்னும்,பார்க்கும் போதும், பார்த்த பின்னும், இந்த படத்துக்கு இவ்வளவு தடங்கல்கள் செய்தது நியாயமா என்ற கேள்விக்கான விடை அறிவது அவசியமாய் இருந்தது.
சினிமா என்ற பொழுதுபோக்கு அம்சமாய் மட்டும் பார்த்தால், எதுவும் தவறாய் தெரியவில்லை. இதைவிட பல படங்கள் இஸ்லாமியர்களை நெகடிவ் வெளிச்சத்தில் காட்டி இருக்கின்றன.
ஆனால், ஏற்கனவே ஒரு தவறான கண்ணோட்டத்தில் பலராலும் பார்க்கப்படும் இஸ்லாமியரை, மேலும் மேலும், தவறாக காட்சிப் பொருளாகி, வெளிச்சத்தில் காட்டுவது, ஒட்டுமொத்த சமுதாயத்துக்கும் நல்லதல்ல என்பது என் கருத்து.
ஒரு சில பேர் தீவிரவாதி ஆகிட்டான் என்பதால், தாடியும் குல்லாவும் வச்ச எல்லா பயலும் அப்படித்தான் என்ற பொது புத்தியில் இயங்குவதுதான் நம் சமூகம். விரிசல் விட்டிருக்கும் நம்மிடையே இணக்கம் ஏற்பட வைக்கும் படங்கள் எடுக்கலன்னாலும், இந்த மாதிரி நெகடிவிஸம் காட்டி எடுப்பதை வருங்காலங்களில் இயன்றவரை தவிர்க்கலாம்.
அமெரிக்காவில், கருப்பர் இனத்தவர்களையும், மற்ற மைனாரிட்டிகளையும், சதா சர்வ காலமும், படங்களிலும், செய்திகளிலும், கெட்டவர்களாகவே காட்டுவது பல வருடமாய் நடந்து வருகிறது. அமெரிக்க தெருக்களில் தனியாய் நடக்கும்போது, எதிரே ஒரு கருப்பர் வந்தால், கொஞ்சம் கிலியாகத்தான் இருக்கும்.
நம்மை அப்படி மூளைச் சலவை செய்துவிடுகிறது இம்மாதிரி பொறுப்பற்ற ஊடகச் செயல்கள்.
இருக்கரதத்தான சொல்றோம் என்ற சப்பைக்கட்டு சரியல்ல. இருப்பதை எடுக்க எவ்வளவோ விஷயம் இருக்கே. அரசியல் கேப்மாரித்தனங்களை படமாக எடுக்கும்போது, 'கல்மாடி' என்றோ, 'ராஜா' என்றோ பெயர் போட்டு கதாபாத்திரங்களை உருவாக்க எந்த கலைஞனுக்காவது தைரியம் இருக்கிறதா?
anyway, கமல்,ஒரு கலைஞனாய் செய்ததும் சரி; இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்புகள், தங்கள் சமுதாயத்துக்காக படத்தை எதிர்த்ததும் சரி; அரசு இடைத் தரகு செய்ததும் சரி; நாம் freedom of speechக்காக குரல் கொடுத்ததும் சரி; நாராயண நாராயண!
இனி படத்துக்கு வருவோம்.
பெயர் போடுவதில் இருந்து துவங்குகிறது கமலின் ஆளுமை. அமைதியான புறாக்கள் சடசடக்க, ஆர்பாட்டம் இல்லாமல் பெயர்கள் வந்து போகின்றன.
தியேட்டருக்கு லேட்டாக வந்த கஸ்மாலங்கள் சலசலத்து அவரவர் இருக்கைகளில் அமரவும் பெயர் முடியவும் சரியாய் இருந்தது.
இடையிடையே செல்ஃபோனில் பேசி எரிச்சல் ஊட்டிய கழிசடைகளை விஷ்வரூபம் எடுத்து நசுக்கி போட மனம் ஆசைப்பட்டாலும், பல்லைக் கடித்து படம் பார்க்க வேண்டிய சூழலில், படம் நகர்ந்தது.
கமலின் மனைவியாய் வரும் பூஜா, மிக அருமையான தேர்வு. அழகாக இருக்கிறார். அருமையாய் நடிக்கிறார். அவருக்கு குரல் கொடுத்திருப்பது விருமாண்டி அபிராமி. பொறுத்தம்.
கமல், கதக் கற்றுத் தரும் மாஸ்டராக அறிமுகமாகும் பாடலில், அவர் வெளிக்கொணரும் முக பாவங்கள் க்ளாஸ். பாடல் படமாக்கிய விதமும் மிக ரம்யமாக இருந்தது. பெண்மை கலந்த குணாதிசியங்களை கமல் வெளிப்படுத்தும் காட்சிகள், அவரின் டயலாக் டெலிவரியெல்லாம் பார்க்கும் போதே, யப்பாடி குடுத்த காசு வசூல் என்று உள்மனம் சொல்லியது.
ஹாஸ்யம் பரவலாய் தெளித்திருப்பதும் அருமை. சில வசனங்கள் வாய் விட்டு சிரிக்க வைத்தது.
குறிப்பாய், "எங்காத்து அழுக்கு டேப்பை வெட்ட உங்காத்து கத்திய கேட்டா தருவியோ நீ?";
"கெட்ட குடியே கெடும்பா"
படம் பார்க்காதவர்கள், இயன்றவரை, கதைக் கருவை தெரிந்துகொள்ளாமல் செல்வது சாலச் சிறந்தது. திரைப்பட அனுபவம் இன்னும் அருமையாய் இருக்கும், எதுவும் தெரியாமல் அப்பாவியாய் சென்று பார்த்தால்.
அப்படி ஆசை இருப்பவர்கள், ப்ளீஸ் க்ளோஸ் த ப்ரவுஸர்
கமல் ஒரு இஸ்லாமிய RAW agentஆம். ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் இயங்கும் ஜிஹாதிக் கூட்டத்தில் கலந்து அவர்களின் ரகசியங்களை அறியச் செல்வாராம்." விஸாம் காஷ்மீரி" என்ற பெயர் கொண்ட அவர் ஒமார் என்னும் ஜிஹாதியை ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் ஊடுருவி அவர்களை பற்றிய விவரங்களை அமெரிக்க படைகளுக்கு தெரிவித்து அவர்களில் பலர் அழிய காரணமாய் இருப்பவர். தப்பிப்பிழைத்த ஒமார் நியூநியார்க் நகரில் நிகழ்த்தப் போகும் அணு ஆயுத தாக்குதலை தடுக்க, விஸாம், 'விஷ்வா'வாக மாறி கதக் பயிலுவிக்கும் மாஸ்டராய் மாறுவேஷத்தில் உலாவுகிறாராம்.
பூஜாவை மணமுடித்து, ஷேகர் கபூர், ஆண்ட்ரியா கோஷ்டியுடன் சேர்ந்து, துப்புத் துலக்குகிறார்.
ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் நடக்கும் காட்சிகள் சிரத்தையுடன் எடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
ஒமாராக நடித்திருக்கும் ராஹுல் போஸ் கச்சிதமாய் இருக்கிறார். ராஹுலின் குட்டிப் பையன் டாக்டராய் ஆக ஆசைப்படுவதும், ராஹுல், நீயும் ஜிஹாதியாக வேண்டும் என்று சொல்வதும்.அதை கண்டு ராஹுலின் மனைவி கலங்குவதும், ஜிஹாதிகளின் குடும்பங்கள் படும் சோகத்தை நயமாய் காட்டுகிறது.
இன்னொரு சிறுவன் ஜிஹாதியாக்கப்படுவதும், மனித வெடிகுண்டாய் செல்ல வேண்டியதற்கு முன், ஒரு ஊஞ்சலில் அமர்ந்து, அங்கிள் தள்ளுங்க என்று ஊஞ்சலை தள்ளச் சொல்வதும் சோகம். அப்பாவியான முக அம்சம் கொண்ட சிறுவர்களை தேர்வு செய்தது சாலப் பொறுத்தம்.
ஆப்கானில் நடக்கும் காட்சிகள், ஜிஹாதிகளின் பயிற்சி, அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை என்று கொஞ்சம் 'இழுவையாக' நகரும் காட்சிகள் என்றாலும், இடையிடையே சுவாரஸ்யத்தை கூட்டி, ஒரு எதிர்பார்ப்புடனேயே நம்மை இருக்க வைத்ததில் கமல் இயக்குனராய் வெற்றி பெற்றுவிடுகிரார்.
மொத்த படத்தில் ஒரே திருஷ்ட்டி, ஒசாமாவை காட்டும் காட்சி. அதிபயங்கர பின்னணி இசை, தியேட்டரே இடிந்து விடும் அளவுக்கு ஒலிப்பதிவு, தடதடதட வென அதிர, ஒரு பள்ளத்தில் இருந்து, திடீரென பெரிய தாடியுடன் ஒசாமா எழுகிறார். ஏதோ ஏசு கிருஸ்த அவதரித்த மாதிரி லைட்டிங்கில் அவரைக் காட்டியது, 'சப்'பென்று இருந்தது.
தங்கள் கூட்டத்தில் ஒருவர் தவறு செய்துவிட்டதாய் எண்ணி, ஒரு 'நல்லவரை' ஜிஹாதிகள், காலாலேயே மிதி மிதி என்று மிதிப்பதும், அதைத் தொடர்ந்து அவரை தூக்கிலிட ஒரு பெரிய க்ரேனிலிருந்து தூக்குக் கயிறில் தொங்க விடுவதும். அவர், தான் நிரபராதி நிரபராதி என்று அழ, அதைக் கண்ட அவரின் தாயும் அழ, ஓரத்தில் சோகமாய் அமர்ந்திருக்கும் அவரின் தந்தை அழ, மொத்த ஜிஹாதிகளும் ஆர்ப்பரித்து, மிஷின்கண்ணை வானத்தை நோக்கி சுட, அவன் முகத்தில் கறுப்புத் துணியை மூடி, க்ரேனை மேலே இழுப்பதும், உடல் துடிதுடித்து இறப்பதும், இறந்துவிட்டானா என்பதை காலில் நாடி பிடித்து ஊர்ஜீதம் செய்வதும், கமல் வேதனையில் அந்த கூட்டத்தை விட்டு மெல்ல வெளியே நடப்பது, ப்ப்ப்ப்பாஆஆஆ. செம சினிமாட்டிக் எக்ஸ்பீரியன்ஸ் அது.
லாங் ஷாட்டிலும், க்ளோஸ்-அப்பிலும், டக் டக் டக் என மாற்றி காட்டுவதில், சினிமாட்டோ கிராஃபரும், எடிட்டரும், இயக்குனரும் மிளிர்கிறார்கள்.
படம் முழுக்க வரும் ஷங்கர் இஹ்சான் லாயின் இசை, படத்தை இன்னோர் பரிமாணத்துக்கு இட்டுச் செல்கிறது.
படத்தின் மையப் புள்ளி, பெண்மை கலந்த நளினமான விஷ்வா என்ற கதக் ஆசிரியர், தன் சுயரூபத்தை காட்ட விஷ்வரூபம் எடுக்கும் காட்சி.
இந்த காட்சியை பார்த்து, மயிர்கூச்செரியாதவர்கள் யாருமே இருக்க முடியாது.
வில்லர்களிடம் மாட்டிய விஷ்வா, தனக்கு ஒன்றுமே தெரியாது என்று அப்பாவியாய் அழுவதும். அவரை அடி அடி என்று நையப் புடைப்பதும் நடக்கும். விஷ்வரூபம் எடுக்கும் முன் அவர் அராபிக்கில் பிரார்த்தனை செய்துகொண்டே பின்னாலிருப்பவனை எட்டி உதைத்து, கண்ணிமைக்கும் நேரத்தில் சுற்றி இருக்கு பலரை காலி செய்வது. ஹாலிவுட்டுக்கு சவால் விடும் தரம்.
இதற்கு முன் மயிர்கூச்செரிய வைத்த காட்சி, பாட்ஷாவில், 'எனக்கு இன்னோர் பேரும் இருக்கு' என்று தலைவர் சொல்லிய காட்சி.
விஷ்வரூபக் காட்சி, அதைவிட ஒரு படி மேல் சென்று விட்டது. தூள்.
கண்ணை உறுத்தாத எடிட்டிங்கை குறிப்பிட்டுச் சொல்லியாக வேண்டும். அவ்வளவு ஏக்*ஷனையும், அருமையாய் கோர்த்து, நம்முன் படையலாக்கியிருக்கிறார்கள்.
இந்த ஒரு காட்சிக்காகவே, சத்யம் போன்ற திரையரங்கில், ஆரோ 3D எஃபெக்ட்டுடன், இரண்டாம் முறை பார்க்க வேண்டும் என்று தோன்றுகிறது.
அமெரிக்காவிலும், ஆப்கானிஸ்தானிலும் மாறி மாறி பயணித்த முதல் பகுதி, கமலின் மூன்று பரிமாணத்தை மாற்றி மாற்றி காட்டி வெகு சிறப்பாய் பயணித்தது.
பிற்பகுதி, ந்யூயார்க்கில் நடக்கவிருக்கும் தீவிரவாதத்தை ஒடுக்க கமல், ஆண்ட்ரியா,பூஜா, ஷேகர் கபூர், அமெரிக்க FBIயுடன் அங்கும் இங்கும் ஓடுவதாய் அமைகிறது. இதிலும் கூட, இறுதி என்னவென்று ஊகிக்க முடிவதால், சற்று அயற்சி ஏற்படுகிறது. தடால் தடால் என்று இடைச் சொறுகும் காட்சிகள் மூலம், அயற்சி தெரியாமல் செல்கிறது.
அவ்ளோ பெரிய பாம், குட்டி ரூமின் நடுவில் இல்லாமல், பெரிய கூட்டத்தின் நடுவில் வைத்து அதை செயலிழக்க சென்றிருந்தால் நமக்கும் கொஞ்சம் பதட்டம் கூடியிருக்கும். அது இன்னாத்தான் நியூக்ளியர் பாமாக இருந்தாலும், ஸ்லோமோஷன் பள்ளிச் சிறார்கள், அம்மாக்கள், தாத்தாக்கள் என்ற சாமான்யர்கள் அதனால் பாதிக்கப்படுவார்கள் என்பதை மனதில் பதிக்க ஒரு காட்சியும் இல்லாதது ஒரு மைனஸ்.
ஆக மொத்தத்தில், கமலின் விஷ்வரூபம்,
கமல் என்ற இயக்குனரின் கலைத் திறமையின் விஷ்வரூபம்;
கமல் என்ற தயாரிப்பாளருக்கு (மொத்த சொத்தையும் போடுமளவுக்கு) தன் திறமை மேல் இருந்த தைரியத்தின் விஷ்வரூபம்;
A great Cinematic Experience. A job well done, Kamal ji.

If it is going to be a period movie, I hope KH picks up an incident from Indian history. I sincerely hope that the movie with Barry or his efforts after VR2 is used to present India to hollywood than bringing Hollywood to India. KH is unbeatable while taking a movie on Indian history/culture etc. (Virumandi,Devar Magan, Hey Ram, KurudhiPunal, Anbe Sivam and even Mahanadhi had their brush on Indian history/culture/philosophy and were out and out Indian movies).
At the risk of getting 'beaten' again in the hub, I still think KH should desist taking movies about/on/in America. He has to take an out and out an Indian movie and sell that to Hollywood. May be he took HeyRam 15 years earlier itself and that was his mistake. It is also important that Marudhanayagam and Marmayogi see the light of the day soon.
One of the great reviews of Hey Ram by seventhart started like this.
"Movies that last a lifetime are the ones that are rooted in the culture of their country of origin, but deal with themes that are contemporary and universal at the same time. By culture, I not only mean traditions and practices of the country but also its inescapable history, politics, its figures, its events and the social impact of those"

Kamal thanks Kannadigas for supporting film
Bangalore: Feb 10,2013 DH News Service
Actor Kamal Haasan visited Bangalore on Saturday to thank the State and the people for their support and rousing reception for his film “Vishwaroopam.”
At a press conference at the Renukamba theatre at Mal*l*e*sw*aram, the actor, flanked by close friend and actor Ramesh Arvind, repeatedly thanked the State which allowed the screening of the movie without any cuts. “It gave me strength. Bangalore is good place to release the film. India lives here so it is a good sample,” he said.
Kamal said, “Now, films like ‘Kadal’ and ‘Aadhi Bhagavan’ are also facing problems. This is becoming a trend which should be challenged. I knew my freedom of speech was important. But I did not know that the country would also support this and the common man would find it important. I felt I had freedom after all.”
Speaking about the cuts in the movie, Kamal said he was anguished, but never depressed, only oppressed. “I have always been a secular man. This was as if they were saying I am not secular enough,” he said.
He, however, said that no visual portions were removed from the film, but audio was blocked in two scenes, which some Muslims had opposed. When asked if the opposition to his movie could be a conspiracy, he answered: “It could be. I am so paranoid at the moment that I will believe anything.”
Kamal promised to release “Vishwaroopam 2” by the end of this year, if there were no obstacles to the making of the film. “Vishwaroopam” is now running to packed theatres in Tamil Nadu. According to Kamal, the movie will be released in the UK, France and the US. The Hindi version will be released in New York next week and the Tamil version is already breaking records in the US.

I agree to this view to a large extent. Kamal should devise a way that his work is not completely misunderstood. he need not release a "guide to VR" or "Hey Ram for dummies" - but maybe leak a generic/general/common plane upon which his 'padaippu' is based on. he need not even do it officially, but maybe use his contacts with the press/media and release a Ghost "urai" Originally Posted by venkkiram

Talking about cloak and dagger, Dawkins takes that Dagger (Mughal Blade) from antique shop puts it away in his 'Cloak' - and when Saleem tries to strangle him he unsuccessfully tries to use that dagger! Saleem takes it after dawkins dies..
I think this is Kamals usual way of making a Visual pun! that whats happening is more than the cloak and dagger stuff.

While this is welcome news, the real question to ask is whether this is a 5 year plan. There is a good probablity that VR2 will likely run into issues and cause delays. It looks like more than 10% has been shot and the econimics of VR2 (filmed in India, lower budget) might be favorable piggybacking on the big wave generated now. But overall one has to see how long all these will likely take... Originally Posted by Nachiketa

KH opens more in this telugu interview on what happened when he first heard abt the ban in TN.
- He says that there was no feedback from the muslim leaders who saw the movie before the release. so he thought that they were happy with the outcome. (was shared already)
- Same night when he left to LA, mid-way thru the flight he gets a note from Pilot/Captain asking him to call home.
- That was a real shock for him and was very emotional on the thought of putting such hardship on his 77 yr old brother.
- He thought that he has lost him due to the trauma and would not be able to face his sister in law who is like mother to him.- He then calls Gautami who travelled with him and told her that he won't have anything left with him when he lands.
- On her advise, he went and slept as he understood that he could not have done anything at that stage.
[...]
- He is very clear that all the violence / fear incited was not by Muslims but some people who wanted to take advantage of this.
- He is very appreciative of I&B minister Manish Tiwary for relooking the relevant laws to avoid similar problem in future.
- It seems that Maniratnam, Madhavan, Sivakumar, Surya amongst others were sitting in his office in his absense and were preparing a memorandum to the CM next day before her statement.
- He also talks about VR2.
- It is not only a continuance from VR, but will also cover the background of Omar and Wizam.
- He said that how he came into the life of Wizam Ahmad Kashmiri. So VR1 Wizam may not be the real Wizam if I interpret it correctly.
- It'll also have some romance and little more emotions.

Just couldn't 'feel' for the serious portions of the movie.

Kamal has had his thoughts clear on this for a very long time. "A country is living in tents for 65 years" on Palestine - is something Mainstream thamizh political thought has shared for a very long time too. Originally Posted by venkkiram

There seems to be an surprising silence / muted reaction here, to this view on Afghan by Kamal as manifested in the film; i have mentioned it twice or thrice earlier here..he clearly demarcates between the Mujahideens who fought against the Soviet occupation of the ETHNIC, NATIVE motherland (rightfully) from the Motley crowd of wahhabhi religious motivated mindless militants who have entred in to a war dance with an equally mindless american warriorism.
Bush is clearly demonised, Kamal indicates in that interview that he wanted to include Abhu Gharaib but later opted out of it (May be US consulate denied permission for that in the script!) and also about Guantanamo detentions.
Writer Kamal - says Subhash chose his path for Freedom and Gandhiji his and both had their own validations.
No attempts to equate Bin Laden with Subhas Chandra bose by Kamal (That is left for the Varna Wolves who wanna bay for some Periyarist Blood!).
After all, Dravidian movement wouldn't add Gnani/Gnanakoothan with Cho Ramasamy/Subbu Samy/Rama Gopalan/General Sunderji Iyengar!

Atul Tiwari is the guy who writes the Hindi dialogues for Kamal's films, right?
He wrote for Drohkaal - which had guppy dialogues and NOTHING compared to the awesome ones Kamal wrote in Kurudhippunal.

Yes, Kathak dancers!
And just wanted to say, the kathak song was taken in Mumbai. I guess even the Nirupama's home was shot in Mumbai only. Some CG there too, showing the US in window!

Sorry didnt notice Imtiaz's name before - must be time to have dinner Agree with you on the group.
I also think that the entire indoor scenes would have been shot in Mumbai/Chennai and showing them as US is not that difficult.

BN’s Vishwaroopam is getting ugly Originally Posted by Srimannarayanan
(Vishwaroopam in Tamil means the true face. It is also the title of a Tamil blockbuster which is still awaiting release in Malaysia due to its supposedly controversial theme.)
Sometimes one does wonder if the government is really concerned about the peoples’ wishes. Is it even listening to what the people are saying?
It appears as though the government is more interested in doing things which it thinks will be good for the rakyat.
Najib Tun Razak’s earlier clarion call that his government was not one which subscribed to “government knows it all” seems like a half-baked lie right now.
Take, for example, the decision to fly down South Korean megastar Psy for the Barisan Nasional Chinese New Year open house in Penang. A cool RM3 million was reportedly spent for this.
Of course, it was not the rakyat’s money as the Gangnam ride was reportedly sponsored by private parties. Still, that much for a singer who has only one known mega hit? And at a time when people are complaining of not getting real value for their money?
What about the Ponggal festival at Dataran Merdeka on Feb 2? Of course, it was deemed to be a mega success, by MIC standards. It would surely be if RM5 million was reportedly set aside to get the crowd.
Word has it that almost 1,400 buses were chartered to bring in Indians to the capital city to show that they all love our prime minister. In return, they did get a full meal of nasi briyani, courtesy of the BN government.
Is this how Najib wants to get the people to back him and BN again? This method seems so archaic, but it must be working for them to be doing it repeatedly!
But it goes back to the main question once again. Isn’t Najib interested in what the people really want? Does the rakyat still want the government to dictate what’s good for them?
Two ongoing issues reveal how ignorant the government can be in misreading the pulse of the voters, especially the Indian voters that Najib wants so much.
The first is the death of security guard C Sugumaran who died after allegedly being beaten by policemen and members of the public on Jan 24.
The first post-mortem stated that he had succumbed to a heart failure. The family wants a second post-mortem and that’s where things have started to break down.
Sugumaran’s body still lies in a mortuary while his family wants the know the true cause of his death. Very simple request. Any caring government, or a home minister, or prime minister, would have made the all-important call so that truth and justice are served.
But what we have here is the prime minister asking for a forensic report to be passed to him, and then even 10 days later, making no decision on the matter. In the meantime, the home minister sits quietly, letting the police handle the matter.
The police, on their part, want to follow rules and regulations to the letter while not doing anything conclusive at all.
It’s a merry-go-round with a family still waiting for answers, and closure as a result of the death.
Is there an easier way to solve this problem? Yes, there is. It is actually as easy as Najib going to the local radio stations and trying to impress the Chinese voters with his Mandarin. But will he take the easy way to solve this problem? I doubt it!
The second small issue, but one that may have deeper implications as far as the Indian voters are concerned, is the indecisiveness of the Home Ministry on the status of Tamil movie “Vishwaroopam”.
Is it still banned? If yes, why? If not, why hasn’t it been released? Who has been aggrieved by the movie? Why the delay in allowing it to be shown even as it has been approved for release in Tamil Nadu?
Is this a case of the home minister sitting in the dark, not knowing the full details? Or is it a case of him knowing the full details but keeping the movie in the cans for political reasons? Should there be political reasons for movie releases in the first place?
This looks like another case where BN is making things complicated for itself.
By keeping totally mum on the status of Vishwaroopam, the government’s message to the Indian community seems to be this: enjoy the song and dance performances that we give you, enjoy the food that we provide at these events, clap hard to the various promises that we make, smile proudly when the PM utters a word of Tamil here and there, BUT stop making any demands, even if it concerns only a Tamil movie!
You still think people will fall for these?
To win the hearts and minds of the people, the leaders, from the prime minister right down to his platoon chiefs, must show that they truly care for the people. The moment they slip up and show that it’s all a political game for them, that’s the end really.
Missing the wood for the trees, they say. Be careful, Mr Prime Minister, if you miss the small details, you risk losing the big votes.

Initially the docter talks with Nirupama and the movie opens in her eyes. But then it travels in Wiz's perspective only. Then, why that scene? I don't think even there wud be an explanation for why that scene is, becos in that scene, Niru tells docter about the Detective she sets up. Which means that is before she understands and likes Wiz. I guess that scene is a dead end, no meaning other than to introduce things to audience...

கமல்ஆப்கான்போராளிகுழுவுடன்எந்தவிததயக்கமும்இன்றிசேர ்த்துகொள்ளப்படுகிறார்.ஓமர்அந்தஅளவுக்காமுட்டாளாகஇருப்பார். தலைமையுடன்வெகுசீக்கிரமேநெருங்கிபழகுகிறார்கமல். அத்தனைரகசியமும்கமலிடம்பட்டென்றுஉடைக்கப்டுகிறத ு. இவ்வளவுபெரியஓட்டையைவைத்துகொண்டுஇதைசிறந்தபடம்என்றுக ொண்டாடுவதுஏற்புடையதல்ல.
கமல்இந்தியாவின் 'RAW உளவாளி ' என்றுசொல்லிவிட்டார்கள் .. சரி .. பிரதமர்நேரடியாகதொடர்புகொள்ளும்அளவிற்குஇருக்கு ம் "உளவாளி!". உளவாளிஎன்பவன்அந்தஅரசாங்கத்துக்குதெரியாமலே 'RAW ' அமைப்பில்இருக்கும்ஒருசிலஅதிகாரிகளைதவிரவேறுஎவர்க்கு ம்தெரியாமலாமறைத்துவைக்கபட்டிருக்கும்ஒருநபர். எவ்வளவுஅபத்தமானஒருகாட்சிஅமைப்பு.
ஒருபானைசோற்றுக்குஒருசோறுபதம்என்பார்கள் . இத்திரைப்படம்ஒருஅபத்தம்என்பதற்குஇவ்விரண்டுஉதாரணங்க ளேபோதுமானது.
இந்திய அரசாங்கமே தேடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் ஒரு ஜிஹாதி, எனவே ஒமர் அவரை அழைத்துவர ஏற்பாடு செய்கிறார். விசாம் அஹமது காஷ்மீரி(கமலின் பெயர்)க்கு அது ஆஃகானிஸ்தான் என்பதே தெரியாத வண்ணம் அழைத்து(கடத்தி)வரப்படுகிறார்.
வந்தபின், அவருக்கு பல போர் முறைகளும் தெரிந்திருப்பதால் தன் தீவிரவாத கும்பலுக்கு பயிற்சி தருமாரு ஒமர், கமலை பணிக்கிறார்.
ஆனால், கடைசிவரை அமெரிக்க ராணுவ ஆட்களை எங்கே மறைத்துவைத்து இருக்கிறார் என சொல்லவே மாட்டார். அதனால்தான் அந்த போர்க்காட்சியில், அமெரிக்க வீரர்கள் தேடித்தான் கண்டுபிடிப்பார்கள்.
அதேபோல் ஒசாமா பின்லேடன் தப்பிக்க ஒரு ரகசிய வழி இருப்பதையும் கமலுக்கு சொல்லமாட்டார். (அதையும் மீறி அவர்கள் அந்த இடத்தையே குண்டுபோட்டு அழிப்பார்கள் என்பது வேறு விஷயம்) எனவே, எல்லாவற்றையும் ஒமர் கமலுக்கு சொல்லிவிடுகிறார் என்பது அபத்தம்.
2. கமல் மாட்டிக்கொண்டுவிட்டார் என்பது ஜெகன்னாத்(சேகர் கபூர்)மூலமாக இந்திய அரசாங்கத்துக்கு தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டு அதன்பின்னால் தான் இந்திய எம்பசியில் இருந்து ஒரு டர்பன் சிங் வந்து கமலை இவர் இன்னார் என சொல்லி காப்பாற்றுவார். ஆக, பிரதமர் தான் இவரை அழைப்பாரே தவிற கமல் பிரதமை அழைக்கும் அளவுக்கு அதிகாரம் கொண்டவர் அல்ல. அவரின் மேலதிகாரி ஜெகன்னாத்தை மட்டுமே அவரால் தொடர்புகொள்ளமுடியும். அதனால் தான் ஆரம்ப சண்டைகாட்சியில் கூட, பூஜா குமாரிடம், 10 எண்ணுவதற்குள் நான் வரவில்லையென்றால் நான் செத்துவிட்டதாக போய் அவரிடம் சொல்லிவிடு என்பார்.
படத்தில் பிழைகள் இருக்கிறது தான். ஆனால் அவை படத்தை ரசிக்க ஒருபோதும் ஒரு தடையாக இல்லை.
அமெரிக்காவில் புறாக்களின் காலில் சீசியம் கட்டி அமெரிக்க அரசை குழப்பலாம் என்று சொல்லும் ஒமர், அதன்மூலம் சாதிக்க விரும்புவது என்ன என்பதை சொல்லமாட்டார். எனவே ஒமர் அமெரிக்கா வந்து டர்ட்டி பாம் வைக்கும் திட்டம் பற்றி எதுவும் பேசமாட்டார். பின்னாளில் கமலும் அமெரிக்கா வந்து துப்பறிந்து கண்டுகொள்வார். ஆக, ஒமர், கமலுக்கு சொல்லாமல் விடும் விஷயங்கள் பலதும் உள்ளது. அதிக நேரம் ஒமர், தன் அடக்குமுறைகளை ஆஃகனில் செயல்படுத்துவதைத்தான் நேரடியாக கமல் பார்ப்பார்.
அந்த ஊஞ்சல் சிறுவன் கூட மனித வெடிகுண்டாக மாறுவது அதை செயல்படுத்தியது ஒமர் தான். ஆனால் இவை அனைத்தும் பேப்பர் பார்த்து தான் கமலுக்கே தெரியவரும்.
அதுபோக கமல் தவிற வேறு சில உளவாளிகளும் ஊடுருவி இருப்பதால்தான் கமலுக்கே பல விஷயங்கள் தெரியவரும் எனப்தாக கதை உள்ளது.
எனவே உங்கள் வாதம் சரி அல்ல.

I am sure most of it, especially the war parts and other fights were shot. those which are bound to happen in US and afghan portion. India portion and indoor locations in US(like Nirupama's US home) etc will be shot here. I guess its only some 30% and Post production remaining!

"...Vishwaroop kickstarts like a comic book. The ditsy slapstick routine in the midst of gory villainy in NY tells you: don’t take this seriously. But only for a brief while. As the scene shifts to bleak Afghan landscapes and Al Qaeda training grounds, the stereotype “Islamic terrorist” emb*edded in our collective consciousness post-9/11 gets reinfor*ced onscreen—the bru*tality, ort*h*odoxy, obduracy, it’s all there. It’s a cruel world where “zubaan koi bhi ho, boli jehadi hi honi chahiye”. Severed limbs, lifeless bodies, spurting blood—you wonder why you are seeing these killing fields images all over again, in yet another film. Meanwhile, our hero Tau*fik finds Buddha-like enlightenment. He is the one good Muslim taking on the many rogues from his community to save New York from the “dirty bomb” even as the rather daft FBI agents ask him, “Jeez man, who are you?” He is the one good Muslim who “redeems” the many who have gone astray...."

இவ்வளவு ஆணித்தரமாக நீங்கள் பேசுவதைப் பார்க்கையில் நாட்டின் உளவாளியாக கொஞ்ச வேலை பார்த்த அனுபவம் உங்களுக்கு இருக்கு எனத் தெரியவருகிறது. விஸாம் ஓமர் கூட்டணியுடன் இருந்த நாட்கள் எல்லாவற்றையும் தேதி வாரியாக குறிப்பிட்டு பதியவில்லை கமல். எதையெல்லாம் அதில் காட்டணும்னு நெனச்சாரா அதை மட்டுமே காட்டியிருக்கிறார். துப்பாக்கி எங்கள் தோளிலே பாடல் வழியே ஒரு நீண்ட கால நிகழ்வுகளை ஒரு போட்டோ ஆல்பம் போல பார்வையாளர்களுக்கு போற போக்கில் காட்டிவிடுகிறார் கமல். இது ஒன்றும் அறிவியல் ஆராய்ச்சிப் படம் அல்ல. சூத்திரம்/தர்க்கம் தவறு என வெட்டு ஒன்று துண்டு ரெண்டாக மறுக்க. ஒரு ஜேம்ஸ் பாண்ட் தொடர்ச் சித்திரங்கள் போல ஒரு படைப்பு. நடந்த சில பல நிகழ்வுகளை அதில் அங்கங்கே வைத்து சொல்லவேண்டியதை சொல்ல முற்படுகிறார்.

Stop playing with our sentiments, Hisham
By S Vell Paari
In regards to Tamil movie “Vishwaroopam” which is showing successfully everywhere else in the world, I have been informed that there are four other local Indian Muslim NGO’s who want the movie banned here in Malaysia.
It is as a result of these four NGO’s, the Malaysian government has yet to approve for the spy thriller to be released in local cinemas even though the Censor Board has approved the second edited version.
The decision to release or not to release this movie is Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein’s call.
My questions to Hishammuddin are these:
1. In what way is the Muslim sentiment of the Tamil speaking Indian Muslims of Tamil Nadu, Singapore and rest of the world, together with the local 60 Indian Muslim NGOs, different to the four NGOs currently objecting to the movie?
I can understand if it’s the case all over the world. Malaysia has the highest edits, 16 in total as opposed to seven in Tamil Nadu. Are you saying these four NGOs’ ideology to Islam is different to the rest of the world?
This decision is no different to PAS ruling on the Chinese attire issue in Kedah.
2. The Home Ministry (KDN) speaks of sensitivity but where was this sensitivity in regards to the controversial book Interlok which was deemed to be insensitive to the Indian community? It took such a long time for a decision to be made to remove the book from school syallabus. Are you punishing us for objecting to Interlok?
3. This movie was cleared for general viewing in local cinemas by the Malaysian Censor Board. It was then banned by the ministry after a single show following complaints from the local Indian Muslim NGOs (the first group). So are you saying that the Malaysian Censor Board was ignorant of the feelings of Muslims in our country?
4. Where was this sensitivity when the cow-head incident happened in Selangor in 2009? And weren’t you the one who said we must understand the feelings of the protesters? Why is it that when we (the Indian community) were subjected to abuse, we must understand the feelings of those abusing us? Why is it that our sensitivity is never taken into consideration? Why? Is it because we don’t have feelings or are we not entitled to have feelings.
5. Pirated versions of the movie are flooding the local market. Your Home Ministry has helped to boost the income for the SME piracy market. These pirated DVDs and VCDs are uncut versions of the movie. So what did the four NGOs (the second group) and you achieve with the continued ban of Vishwaroopam?
Will the police force be now instructed to arrest the families of average Malaysians of Indian origin who decide to buy the pirated version of the movie due to KDN’s double standard?
Will we be seeing kids handcuffed and dragged with their parents into police vehicles? What a disaster! With such stunts from KDN, who needs a tsunami?
Dear Minister, you are in clear violation of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s 1Malaysia ideology.
It’s a clear case of insubordination by you against the direction and vision of the prime minister. You are clearly becoming a millstone around Barisan Nasional’s neck.
So Dato Hisham, please stop beating around the bush and tell us frankly: is the movie going to be released at all?
What is so sensitive about the feelings of these four NGOs as against to the wishes of the other 60 Indian Muslim NGOs (with whom MIC had come to an agreement to allow for the release of the movie with mimimum edits) and the balance of the Indian community?
I hope these four NGOs will deliver the majority of the 926,000 Indian votes in Malaysia to BN come general election.
Even after MIC had worked out a solution with the first group of complaining Indian Muslims NGOs, you still choose to ignore and insult us with your ‘I don’t care’ attitude.
You have total disregard for MIC’s efforts on this matter. Well maybe I have to discuss with my MIC members on our attitude as well.
As a senior component member of BN, my party has worked very hard to deliver Indian votes to BN. In percentage, when comparing population, we would be the highest.
We have contributed to you sitting there as a Home Minister. So I want a written explanation from you to the MIC CWC on why you have chosen to practice such double standard on the release of this movie.
You are playing with our sentiments. Please remember that before you, someone else had tried to do the same and ended up giving BN it’s worst results in GE12. You barely got away with your keris waving stunt. Is it your intention to do the same for GE13?
People might say it’s only a movie, but I will enlighten you why I decided to pursue with this course in the first place.
If you can be kicking us around from one side to another on just a movie, imagine what you will do to us (the Indian community) on bigger issues.
I am sure you will call my party president after you have been notified of my statement. Let me give you an insight, my condition in accepting the party strategic director’s appointment was on the condition that I must be given the freedom to voice.
S Vell Paari is MIC’s Strategic Director and Central Working Committee member.

Predicting box office reports for a Tamil film is always a tedious process. Cinemalead successfully predicted Thuppakki Box office reports and the producers have confirmed it in a leading daily that it grossed 100 in the month of January. We have been tracking Box office reports of Vishwaroopam's Telugu, Hindi and overseas reports and we have found that the film grossed 100 crores by yesterday. Here is the detailed report of Vishwaroopam's gross in various locations.
Tamilnadu - 35 crores (3 days).
Andhra Pradesh: 22 crores (2 weeks)
Kerala and Karnataka: 11 crores (2 week in Kerala, remaining from Karnataka).
overseas: 14 crores gross ( 2 weeks including Telugu version's gross).
Hindi: 20 crores (8 days).
Note: Total theatrical gross: 102
Nett: 73 crores
Share: 55 crores
Budget: 95 crores
Adding the satellite right Kamal earned around 75 crores (as of 9-02-13)
Cinemalead's Prediction:
The film is going strong in Tamilnadu and by the end of this week RKFI will witness a profit by early estimates we think that the movie might earn 10-20 crores profit.
NOTE: The Satellite rights of Hindi and Telugu version is yet to be sold. The Hindi version will be releasing in overseas by February 15th and the Tamil version is yet to be released in Malaysia, Dubai and Srilanka.
* These are our approximated values, the original figures may vary.

Caught up with one of these in fb. Seems interesting and she too is unbelievably passionate about symbols!
Viswaroopam :
These are just spoilers,if you haven’t watched viswaroopam yet,Don't go further.Let me get to core of the movie.Right from first scene,Kamal uses pigeon to paddle the boat ;Pigeon signifies peace,and so it does in the film too, it signifies peace loving 'Muslims',or "ISLAM THE RELIGION OF PEACE".Many believe "People gotta have some global knowledge to understand Kamal's film".
I'd to like make some changes on the words,"People don't have to have global knowledge to understand the story/film of Kamal sir's,but they gotta have global knowledge to understand the buried messages/information in kamal sir's film"
When I saw the first time I never realized,but after i had come to home i realized,film does not start with the Nirupamma's narration ,rather the story starts right immediately after the title.
While title credit goes on at the back ground,one can notice pigeons in their own cages until a man/terrorist walks in, feeds (thoughts of Jihad) those pigeons. He chooses a white pigeon and sends it,and it ain't white anymore,it has some black spots on it; It symbolizes Muslims are brainwashed to Jihads; the black spotted pigeon flies across Wall street,and lands at charging bull; Charging bull implies aggressive financial optimism and prosperity of the American economy at Wall Street,i guess; Kamal sir tries to explain how terrorists had brought American economy down by bombarding Twin tower,and post military,and army expenses which brought down America's economy.
Coming to the main plot,film was banned at many places during the initial release,because Muslims thought the film had had scenes which were offensive to their religious practices,and their religion,but the film proves jihads have got wrong perception over Koran,and they follow Islam in a wrong way.
1) The scene where boys dance wearing female attire to entertain the public,Omar and his men destroy the dance and give punishments to all those boys as it’s a sin but the same Omar allows his son to wear burka to demolish few of the American's tanks.This shows Omar and his men do not follow or do not know what the true meaning of Islam is. They ain't Islams; they just use Islamism as a Blanket/coverlet to justify their opinions.
2) After the damage done by the US army,Severely wounderd Omar asks Wisam(Kamal) why is "OUR RELIGION" treated this way? Why Muslims are being tortured so much in this world?Why should we shed tears? Wisam replies "WE ARE JIHADS" (replacing "religion" to "jihads" from Omar's question) we are not meant to shed tears,but to shed blood. "You have answered your question in your question itself, if there were a fight there, would be some death too" .Omar,the jihad does not know the difference between Islam and the Jihad,But Wisam explains it clearly.Muslims shed tears,jihads shed blood.Muslims take not violence as their weapon at any cost.
3) It's unfortunate that terrorist are Muslims ,and they strongly believe in God.They believe,they kill people for the betterment of Islam.Omar and his men pray before any killings or bombings.In the end, Abassi,the Nigerian prays to god before the sets the bomb,Omar and Salim pray before the detonation too.So does Wisam; when a FBI officer (Israeli) asks Tom,what is Wisam doing? he says "he is praying for you".Israeli asks "God Vadim"? Tom replies "Exactly, except it is in Arabic version" So Wisam, the Muslim prays for that Israeli too.These three guys pray to the same god,but their prayers differ.Director portrays the difference between the real Muslim and a terrorists who use Islamism as a blanket.Also one can connect Israeli and Palestinian wars when Tom answers Israeli's question.
4) I believe there's a scene in this film where a Muslims shaves all his hair from the body.I happened to notice,many didn't understand,why does he shave all over his body.It's an Islamic tradition to cut nails,remove all pubic hairs from the corpse.According to the Islams one's gotta be clean before he enters heaven.He knows he's gonna die,when he detonate the bomb; he does not have any one to do the spiritual activities,so he removes all his pubic hair by himself.Jihads believe,if they kill Tom,dick,and Harry,they shall go to heaven.So they're prepared for all the things.Even Wiz (kamal) shaves his pubic hair (After the interval scene),because he knows he may die saving the New York people.So in order to go to heaven,he shaves his pubic hair.Both the Abassi and Wiz do shave their hairs,but for the different reason.One of the greatest directorial touches.
5) In the public hanging scene, which according to jihads is justice done to a sinner. Almost everyone wears a white Taqiyya (worldly called as Muslim caps) or imama in Arabic. except for Wisam,who wears Black taqiyya; Black signifies sadness,but however it signifies evil,according to Koran and Bible. One can relate what director is trying prove by wearing the black cap at the so called justice done to the sinner.They don't give justice to sinner,instead they're doing the sin (Evil activities) in the name of justice.
6) The little boy is ambitious about becoming a doctor,but Omar restricts him to be a Jihad as his brother Mammu; Wisam (Kamal) swings the little boy on the swing board,but the boy says “I am not a child" and walks away from the swing,but his elder brother asks Wisam to push the swing,and he enjoys the swing by closing his eyes against light,though the light falls on him,he ignores to accept it by closing his eyes. Proving the difference between a matured little boy,and immature grown up brother.Reason is obvious...
7) Pigeons roam beside the mosque or tomb in the film.When Omar walks beside the mosque he walks against those pigeon, symbolizing that Jihads hate peace,and hence they kick pigeons with their foot.Since,pigeon is a metonymy for peace.
8) During the Public Hanging scene,there are lots of people observing the death of Nasir.During the hanging,Omar eats something and feeds a Pigeon (It symbolizes Omar's feeding his thoughts to good Muslims).Omar sits beside 2 pigeons on his right side with a Gun,and on left side Nasir's mom cries out of depression and curses Omar and his men,Omar had the option to choose between Peace (Pigeons) and War (Gun),but still he chose to pick up the gun..
9) The scene where sheik is introduced to wisam,one could notice the red roses behind them,and when a jihads car come near by the roses seem to be very red,but when the cars passed the rose,it became dark since there ain't any light to see the light up the red color of the roses,logically and scientifically the scene is justified,but what the director has tried to portray his,anything may turn dark when a jihad passes by.Good Muslims may turn dark/evil when they come across a jihad.
10) When Deepak questions Wisam about his religious faith, his wife says "Avar ADHU dhan" it’s quite obvious that she ain't comfortable with the name of the religion and hence addresses as ADHU rather dhan Islam. She had hated Vishwa,even before she didn't know he is a Muslim,but she starts to love him when she knew he is a Muslim.The scene when Kamal walks down the stairs with black leather jacket, Nirupama admires him,and so the pleasant BGM goes instead of Thunderous mass BGM which most of us would have expected when Kamal walks down. She hated him when he was a Brahmin and now he is a Muslim and she loves him.I guess director Kamal tries to prove Love > Religion
11) When the director introduces the detective Peter, Peter leans on an advertisement hoarding that says "Americas Most Favorite", explaining CIA and detective agencies of US which is being US’s most favorite from Director’s point of view.
12) In the news Obama says that Laden is killed praising America while below the news is "Petroleum hike by 3%" and on the right side "WORLD ALERT". Self-explainable. LOL
13) Some scenes show 2 sided statue is shown in the movie. One side being a man and another a woman. While the first song the statue is placed against a mirror, the camera shows the mirror and the statue. One can see both the faces of status in the same frame,
and again in the end once Kamal's boss says that he is the only live agent,and the status is shown both the sides. 2 sides of one statue and 2 sides of Wisam. Represents the role of Wisam in the movie as double agent.
14) At the last minute of the movie, director shows how Wisam enters the territory of Al Queada by landing/dropping from a helicopter. According to Islam half-moon ain't really related to the Koran,however some Muslims started using it as symbol of Islam.In fact Islam is against using such symbols;The crescent is mentioned in the Koran as the non-Muslims. Haj-Koran 2:189.However,some Muslims believe, crescent moon is coming of second son,and also representation of new day, as according to Islam and Jewish a new day does not start by sunrise,but at sunset. A crescent comes after sunset,while Kamal Hassan falls from the sky entering Al Queda territory a crescent moon is seen, so you can connect to the previous 2 sentences Symbolizing start of new day or start of new Muslim era in this Muslim hated world. As Wisam is an Indian Muslim Raw agent,and saves 1000's of lives in the movie,proving worth of Muslims to this world. If I were a Muslim,I would thank Kamal Hassan,and would not protest.
Finally film ain't an Anti-Muslim, its Pro Muslim This movie has been taken to prove ,good Muslims are overshadowed by many things,and most of the times are swept away with odd things around this world. I would say this movie as a tribute to Muslims.So has he proved through this movie? Well audience gotta understand the movie to answer this question.
According to me Viswaroopam's one of the greatest cinematic achievements,not only in the Indian cinema,but also in the world cinema.
While many films portray Muslims as a Somalian terrorists/Afghan terrorists etc.
This film has clearly explained the differences between a jihad and a Muslim.
The best Muslim friendly film ever made.
We're able to trace out only these much interesting things from the film,but think How much things Kamal sir would have buried in this film.
We gotta dig deeper,or in other words We gotta watch it for N number of times,to get all the details/things from the film.
Overall it's a tribute to peace loving Muslims
Viswaroopam - A celluloid poem !

Vishwaroopam - record-break theatre occupancy
Feb 11, 2013
After several years, it has happened for the first time. Yes, Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam has been seeing 100 per cent occupancy at the theatres. The film released to packed houses on February 7th and the mad rush to see the film continues even after four days of its release, a trend that we have not seen in the recent past.
What is even more surprising is the fact that all the theatres not only in Chennai but in the suburbs as well where Vishwaroopam is being screened, are seeing 100 per cent occupancy rate. There is not one seat vacant at the theatres. The theatre owners say that this is the first time after several years that they are seeing it happen. This is sort of a record-break, say sources.

However,the figures put out by the site look believable.
Now,there is a tweet by Rahul Bose which says 120 crore (will be gross) and counting,so looks like RKFI is on it's way for a good profit.

Although any controversy is good controversy for a movie, in the case of Vishwaroopam it seems to have gone on too long. The brilliantly written and directed spy thriller stars Kamal and an ensemble of actors with hummable music thrown in. It finally released all over TN on February 7th.

With extremely positive reviews and sentiments, the movie is here to stay on the charts for quite some tim

@sakala,
Any loss would be notional wrt TN.Adhaavadhu,how much ever it grosses,the feeling would be that the two week delay resulted in piracy and disinterest to a few which ate into collections.This notional loss cannot be fixed.
Actual loss would be due to the no release in a few countries, IMO
-
From: Cinefan on 11th February 2013 12:40 PM [Full View]
Alternately,we can also say that the controversy/delay and the resultant positive WOM from other states/countries resulted in a massive opening which in normal circumstances would have been lower(< # of theatres,lower occupancy in a few center's and all that).So we can also claim that the delay resulted in a few crores getting added to the gross.

Nasc, So far endhiran had 525 screens. So this beats that record.
And, if our assumption that he had already shot the outdoors of VR2(Afghan & US portions) and only some indoors and Post-Production, i guess VR2 budget wud be much less and thats a good venue to make profit for him, so that there is much surplus for him and that taking him far away from losses!

i defn. had to take it with a pinch of salt. kamal isnt no kb,or P A for him to do a free movie - they are ppl who were broken and no means to redeem or hv their glorious period to earn back so it made sense for him to do free of cost for them , like how kamal did maharaasan , 4 friends
but on a personal level--kamals angst was that he had put all of his property in for this movie and it was blocked for no valid reason...it wasnt like the film bombed and he called out for help. even here his point of putting the house was to bring out the injust to him and not for any financial help.
thats one of the reason why i liked a hindi interview when - the interviewr tells -"rajni has come to help u, what do u think?"..to which kamal didnt even ans for it rather mentioned we are competitors and we will always very good friends but in trade we will be competitors.
i will gladly take it as rajni like any other kamal fan wanted to help out in any possible way......coz if kamal had teh time to wait for a new movie to be done and released and get teh money back...he himself wud /cud hv done a masala film to get it back right!!!

While watching, what was staring was the similarity of narration between Virumaandi and VR. To keep it simple, what we have seen till now is only the "Koththala thevar's version" of the story. Virumaandi's (Wizam's) version of the story (events) will unfold in VR part 2, which will tie up the loose ends.....

Kamal asked Vairamuthu why we need to have this line because as per movie storyline, these words are not required, could be replaced with some other. But Vairamuthu insisted to keep this line in the song.. Kamal was saying that this line has become more suitable than any other line in the song later...

He could have just dubbed it and released - would have got atleast 5C !
No promos in music channels which is the most popular way of giving publicity; nothing in FMs...
After forcefully taking (sponsoring) one of my NI friends, he said that it would have been a huge hit if it was properly promoted. Still those people think that one Tamil movie ran into controversy and nothing much about a Hindi version

We have come to know that the amount for which he pledged his properties stands at approximately 67 Crores. The good news is, Kamal Haasan has managed to clear off about 57 Crores so far and he is on track to clear the remaining 10 crores before February 15th.
Phenomenal revenues for ‘Vishwaroopam’ in Tamil Nadu are helping Kamal Haasan and the movie will end up as a blockbuster. Kamal Haasan has also endeared himself to fans and common citizens alike for his courageous stance during Vishwaroopam’s ban.
Financiers involved in the matter are said to be extremely happy over Kamal’s repayment. After all, who would want to see Kamal lose all his money?

Final Victory for Kamal :
--- Ego filled person wanted to show that who decides the movie release date and announced 15 days ban.
+++ Public with Kamal and he released it on 13th day.
Jai Kamal.
--- Ignorant community leaders told it is an anti community movie except for a song and they will not allow the release.
+++ Just witha couple of mutes, the movie is released and people regardless of their caste are taking it on their shoulders as their baby and no remarks agaisnt it as a communal movie
Jai Kamal
At a time when I started feeling that my admiration for Kamal is saturated, the Vishwaroopam - on and off screen - proved me that I am wrong.
I am twice the Kamal veriyan now.

In cine trade i heard that the producers gets about one third of the gross theatrical collections plus satellite rights + dth(if any) +dvd bluray rights(if any) + music rights + promotional stuffs (if any). So when KH said 350c gross theatrical collections it would have netted him around 116c the rest will be shared by govt taxes (30 to 45%) depending on the area and the rest will be shared by the distributor and the the exhibitor. So it works out to approx one third producer one third govt taxes one third to distributors + exhibitors. Originally Posted by Dilbert

No of shows are not as reported. Mayajaal ran a record 85 shows per day. Things like this added more collection.
Also if i recall, enthiran had more high price in tickets but Vishwa didn't increase the ticket price. So it seems more no of ppl had seen it

This means that Endiran collected around 6 crores for the entire week (7 days), but collected only around 2 crores in the first weekend (3 days).Now VR has collected around 3 crores in the first weekend (3 days), if sources are to be believed. And we need to see how much it ends up collecting in 1 week..i.e. 7 days
So which part of the above statement is difficult to understand?

given the complexity of the subject, i guess C center audience may find this movie, bit complicated. I am not sure if it will break Enthiran, on the whole. But i guess it already done exceedingly well, in certain counts. like, US market, bollywood, and chennai opening. That is surely remarkable and not easy for any film, that too compared with the cluttered and disturbed release of this Film. add piracy too. Its not an easy feat to have an opening like this in TN even after this issue and also 3 times cancelling of the Release. Fans didn't get tired! Originally Posted by thamiz

Bengaluru Box office (Feb 1 to 3)
Tuesday, 05 February , 2013, 18:17
The Tamil version of Kamal Hassan`s Vishwaroopam is setting new box office records in multiplexes and single screens in Bengaluru, Mysore area.
Lot of Kamal fans from Tamil Nadu are visiting theatres in large numbers which is increasing the collection.
Varadanaayka is shining even in the second week, though Race-2 collections are falling. This week`s release Bangari in Kannada starring Yogi and Raagini has lost the battle and the collections are falling.
Manirathna`s Kadal and its Telugu version did open well, but the drop in collections are evident from day two. On Sunday the collections were much lesser than Vishwaroopam.
Vishwaroopam:
Cast:Kamal, Pooja Kumar
Director: Kamal Hassan
Technically brilliant, Kamal Hassan.
Flash back sequences, slow second half.
Verdict: Good collection.
REVIEW
Bangari:
Cast:Yogish, Raagini.
Director: Maa Chandru
Two songs by Neel.
Lack of continuity, illogical story.
Verdict:Below Average.
REVIEW
Kadal:
Cast:Gautham, Tulasi Nair, Arjun Sarja.
Director: Manirathnam
A.R.Rahman`s music, Camera work, Tulasi
Dragging sequences in second half.
Verdict: Average.
REVIEW
Varadanaayaka:
Cast:Kiccha Sudeep, Chiru Sarja, Sameera Reddy
Director: Aiyappa Sharma
Rich production values, action sequences, music.
Slow start in the beginning, cheap comedy.
Verdict: Super Hit.
REVIEW
Ongole Geetha:
Cast:Ram, Kriti Kharbanda
Director: Bommarillu Bhaskar
Music, Ram, Prakash Raj.
Dragging second half.
Verdict: Average collections.

I'm seeing few things in the comparison.... it could be possible that the ticket price for Endhiran is lower or/and was released in smaller screens with lower capacity than movies later including VR. There are a lot of theatres/screens with high capacity have opened off late which gave ample opportunity to release a big budget movie in more number of theatres or theatres with higher capacity than Endhiran. Having said, I do not want to take the impressive credit out of VR. However, the real test is how much VR will make in long run. Endhiran collected more than 17Crores (as per behindwoods.com) in 2010. Also, the reported numbers in behindwoods.com are gross so the comparison is apples to apples.
I still remember what Anben said to NOV few months back about the business strategy adopted in Tamil Nadu since Endhiran. The strategy has changed lot with the abundant support of recent developments in multiplex and shopping malls in Tamil Nadu, particularly in Chennai. Unlike India, the overseas market for Tamil movies hasn’t changed much in terms of releasing a movie in maximum number of screens and ticket price. Due to the aforesaid reasons, Endhiran BO numbers are almost unshakable in most of the overseas market. I still believe this would change also which is a welcome sign.

As per Wiki:
The film's Tamil version was given a U/A (Parental Guidance) certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification with minor cuts, while the Hindi version Vishwaroop, got an "A" (Adults Only) certificate with no cuts
***
What does it mean? The Tamil version that is running in overseas has cuts too? Or U/A related cuts are only applicable for the version of Tamil that is running in TN? confused.
Anyway, I record my disagreement here on Kamal's involvement in requesting U/A Central Board of Film Certification for Tamil Version in order to attain some benefits. There is no honesty I see in this act. How could one basically agree to a U/A certification for a movie that shows bloodstained action sequences in war zone, hanging of criminal in public etc.. No Kamal. I am not expecting from you this kind of compromises just for the sake of money. You are truly a politician here. This movie is well deserving A certificate. Period.

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on 11th February 2013 11:58 PM [Full View]
Venki, yes, agreed this shud be A. But i guess since Tamil is his main bread and butter he kinda compromised to do that, with a severe and stern warning inside the film(titles) and NOT in posters, certification. Anyways lets remember its same guy who made Kuruthippunal which is his home production, to release with A certificate, kind of, wantedly or knowingly agreeing for a reduce in family audience.
Given that, one shud see the one 1 but 4 trailers of this film before deciding to take kids. I guess its OK to take kids of age ~15 but not lesser. One of my friend took his kidergarden kid ( ) and said kamal cheated him in certification I was wonderign what can that kid ( ) understand if the film was U certified!

and this is totally from a personal experience and i am posting as such coz..my wife who came along this time on the 3rd week for VR was surpirsed the crowd was higher and even exclaimed oh more ppl than enthiran.again we are able to visually see teh difference coz...it is the same old kuppai theatre they release for the last 10 years.

I watched endhiran twice, first time in Big cinemas NJ and second time with my wife in Bloomfield CT, useless DESI theatre, after two weeks and it was running fullhouse on weekends. You are right. it's mostly from personal experience. The reason I mentioned overseas BO collection because of the hefty number about 61 Croroes as reported by taran adarsh and others including Ayngaran. Also the opening was so big in USA that it easily collected more than so called "national language" movies. Originally Posted by Nasc
I could even talk little bit about the exchange rate since the exchange rate during the period of October 2010 was in mide Rs.40s which may easily add additional 20 percent of revenue. Anyway, please see the breakups for overseas collection below. However Endhiran was over priced and i personally paid $40 per ticket.
account @taran_adarsh 18 Oct 10 Endhiran [Tamil+Telugu] official figures: US 20 cr, UK-Eur 8 cr, Gulf 7 cr, SE Asia [incl Malaysia, Singapore] 21 cr, rest 5 cr. Total 61 cr

I heard from one of my colleagues that Big Cinemas at North Bergen NJ kept 8 screens for Tamil and 2 screens of Telugu version of VR which he himself said he had not witnessed such crowd during Endhiran Release. I think the number of tickets got sold on each theater is really matter for these kind of comparisons between movies.

my viewing experience with 'nan kadavul' was/is unforgettable:
after paying $14 for the first weekend show,
1. the picture frame began vibrating halfway through - and I wonder if Bala is showing something very symbolic there
2. a sound like a tractor running begins on one side of the screen - and i wonder if IR is doing something phenomenal there
3. the screen went blank - and i wonder Bala is really doing something very creative, unheard of in tamil/indian cinema
and the lights came on, and a head stuck out from the projector hole in the wall - 'sorry, we are fixing a problem' !

My two cents. Originally Posted by irir123

First reason, producer/star/actor knows that the US distributors are going to keep the ticket price very high so they quote high price. Second reason, Considering the Tamil population in US, the amount quoted for distribution rights are so high that it could be recovered only through setting exorbitant ticket price and exhibiting the movie in third rated theatres. The third and final reason is that since consumer demand for those movies is less sensitive to the price hike and do not mind to watch it in local theater (except crying in forums like us), the distributors set high price and exhibit in local theatres. It might have happened over the period of time. I’m not expecting anything would change in near future. The bottom line is when you live for away from Tamil Nadu and expecting Tamil cinema and food is a SIN.

Ok let me stand corrected! I base that expectation based on the fact that Parththy posted. SMI Movies tweeted atelast a week b4 itself that the volume of ppl who saw viswaroopam is higher for any tamil cinema, and also the fact that its having a decent extended 3rd week run in many centers, which is not normal. So, overall collections of Enthiran, VR may break or not but it seems VR is surely high on head counts, thus its a record in that way! Originally Posted by Dilbert

A very simple review shich actually appeals to many! Taken from fb
Saw Viswaroopam in Satyam Cinemas ......
Magnificant movie in Tamil cinema .....
It would give space for new talents to come up with new scripts....
Director Kamal Hasan has done a great job in this movie....
The way the movie led was simply great.... On the way i feel the movie is bit slow by the end of first half.... Many people saying the movie is unable to understand... Its because we expect movies of commercial elements... But this movie is not in that aspect...
What i personally felt was director is not explaining everything openly... Just uses sign language... Gods sake that he didn't explain those otherwise they would've cut many scenes than this version.... Also can't say it is an epic movie... But its worth a watch... Definetly a very good movie... Camera works, BGM , stunts sequence and the way movie unfolds all are amazing.... The villain of the movie Rahul Bose was really terroring... He threatens us mostly with his looks and body language... Apt choice for this role....
The movie still has a story to end and it'll be ended by part 2....
Great Kamal sir.... You have done welll... Hope to see you soon in the next part very soon .....

why not a Rajini or a Kamal film ??
what i have learnt is - Greed! on the part of distributors of tamil cinema.
I called this blue sky guy - VR distributor - and asked him why VR is not screening in regal or amc halls - his answer "because of DTH problem, we can only release in desi halls"

மதிப்பிற்குரிய ஐயா,
பாடம்: இந்திய நடிகர்/இயக்குநர் கமல் என்பவரால் அமெரிக்காவில் சட்டம் ஒழுங்கு சீர் குலைய வாய்ப்புள்ளது.
சி.ஐ.ஏ. பற்றி நான் சொல்லி தாங்கள் தெரிந்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டியதில்லை. கடந்த ஆண்டு இறுதியில் வெளியான 'ஜீரோ டார்க் தேர்ட்டி' படத்தின் மூலம் குப்பன், சுப்பனுக்கு கூட சி.ஐ.ஏ. பற்றித் தெளிவாக தெரிந்திருக்கும். ஆனால் உலகிற்கே பெரியண்ணன் ஆகிய நம்மை கமல் ஹாசன் என்னும் இந்திய நடிகர்/இயக்குநர் தொடர்ந்து தவறாக தனது படங்களில் சித்தரித்து வருகிறார்.
கடந்த 2008ஆம் ஆண்டு கமல் தசாவதாரம் (Ten Avatar) என்னும் படத்தில் 10 வேடங்களில் நடித்தார். நம்ம 'ஜேம்ஸ் கேம்ரூன்'னே ஒரு அவதார் தான் எடுத்தார் என்பதையும் நாம் கவனிக்க வேண்டியுள்ளது. முன்னாள் அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதியான ஜார்ஜ் புஷ் போல அதிலொரு வேடம். அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதிகள் முட்டாள்கள் என்பது போல் அப்படத்தில் சித்தரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. உயர்நிலை பள்ளி மாணவன் ஒருவனுக்கு கூட தெரியும், "What is Nacl?" என்ற கேள்விக்கு பதிலை தெரியாத தற்குறியாக புஷ்ஷை கேலி செய்திருப்பார்கள். அது கூட பராவயில்லைங்க யுவர் ஹானர். 'இந்த அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதிகளே இப்படித் தான்.. போர் வெறிப் பிடித்தவர்கள்' என்பது போன்ற காட்சிகளையும் அழுத்தமாக வைத்திருப்பார். வைரஸ் ஒன்றை அழிக்க ஏன் அதன் மேல் அணு ஆயுதம் போட கூடாது என சப்பாணி போல புஷ் கேள்வி கேட்பார். பாவம்.. புஷ் மனம் எவ்வளவு வேதனைப்பட்டிருக்கும்? கருத்து சுதந்திரம் என்ற பெயரில் யாரோ ஒரு மூன்றாம் உலக நாட்டு நடிகர் இப்படித் தான் அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதியைக் கிண்டல் செய்வதா?
மீண்டும் சி.ஐ.ஏ. கதைக்கு வருவோம். தசாவதாரம் படத்தில் இரண்டு சி.ஐ.ஏ. அதிகாரிகளைக் காண்பிப்பார்கள். அவர்கள் பெருமாள் கோயிலில் புளியோதரை வாங்கி சாப்பிட வந்த இளைத்த சிவாஜி பட வில்லனான ஆதிசேஷன் போல் பரிதாபமாக இருப்பார்கள். என்ன நக்கல் பாருங்க இந்த கமல் ஹாசனுக்கு? அது மட்டுமா!? அந்தப் படத்தின் வில்லன் யார் தெரியுமா? அவரும் ஒரு எக்ஸ் - சி.ஐ.ஏ. அதிகாரி. க்ரிஸ்டியன் ஃப்ளெட்சர். ஒரு ஜப்பானியனிடம் அமெரிக்க சி.ஐ.ஏ. ஒண்டிக்கு ஒண்டியில் தோப்பது போல மீண்டுமொரு அவமானம். ஆனா சண்டை தொடங்கும் முன், "ஆர் யூ டாக்கிங் வித் மீ்?"ன்னு கேட்டு பின்னால யாரையோ தேடுற மாதிரி ஜப்பானியனை அவமானப்படுத்துவார் பாருங்க மிஸ்டர் பிரசிடென்ட்.. ச்சே ஒவ்வொரு அமெரிக்கனும் பெருமை பட வேண்டிய தருணம் அது. ஆனா என்னப் புண்ணியம்? ஃப்ளெட்சரை திட்டமிட்டு தோற்க வைத்திருப்பார் கமல். அடுத்து 2009ல், 'உன்னை போல் ஒருவன்' என்றொரு படத்தில் நடித்தார். பர்வேஷ் முஷ்ரப் தேதி குழப்பத்தில் ஃபோன் செய்து 2009 செப்டம்பர் 10ஆம் தேதியே இரங்கல் தெரிவிப்பார். புஷ் தூக்க கலக்கத்தில் அலெர்ட்டாக இல்லாமல்.. 9/11 சம்பவத்தை நடக்க விட்டு விடுவார் புஷ். அந்தப் பெரும் பயங்கரவாத தாக்குதல் நிகழ்ந்ததிற்கே அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதியின் அலட்சியம் தான் காரணம் என்று காட்டியிருப்பார் கமல். இது எத்தகைய தீராத பழி?
இந்த வருடம் ஜனவரி 25ல் வெளியான விஸ்வரூபம் என்னும் படத்தில் அமெரிக்க பிணை கைதிகளைக் காப்பாற்ற NATO-விற்கு உதவுவது போல் காட்சிகள் வைத்துள்ளார். பயங்கரவாதியாக இருந்தாலும் ஓமர் என்பவன் நெஞ்சில் ஈரமோடு, "அமெரிக்கர்கள் பெண்கள் மற்றும் குழந்தைகளைக் கொல்ல மாட்டார்கள்" என்கிறான். ஆனால் இயக்குநரான கமல் அமெரிக்கர்களை பெண்கள் மற்றும் குழந்தைகள் இருக்கும் கட்டிடம் மீது குண்டு போட வைக்கிறார். அமெரிக்க இராணுவத்தினரை தாலிபனுக்கு நிகரான பயங்கரவாதிகளாக காட்டியுள்ளார். யார் மிஸ்டர் பிரசிடென்ட் அவர்? சி.ஐ.ஏ.வை விட ரா என பெரிய அப்பாடக்கரா!? சரி இந்தியா பக்கத்தில் ஆஃப்கானிஸ்தான் இருக்கு.. ஏதோ உதவினார் என எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாம். ஆனால் நியூயார்க் நகரத்தை தனி ஆளாக காப்பாற்றுவது போல் தன்னை முன்னிலைப்படுத்தும் காட்சிகள் வைத்துக் கொள்கிறார். அதுவும் இல்லாமல் அந்த கதாபாத்திரம் ஒரு முஸ்லீம். கிறிஸ்டியன் மிஷனரியில் படிச்ச ஹிந்து ரா அதிகாரி என்றால் கூட போனா போகுதுன்னு ஏத்துக்கலாம். சரி படம் தான ஏதோ ஒன்னு. அதற்காக எஃப்.பி.ஐ.யை எல்லாம் முட்டாளாக காட்டுகின்றார் யுவர் ஹானர். முடில.. அழுது விடுவோம் போலிருக்கு. கமலுக்கு ஏன் இவ்வளவு அமெரிக்க வன்மம் என தெரியவில்லை. அவர் ஹாலிவுட் படம் இயக்கினால்.. இன்னும் கேவலமாக அமெரிக்க பாதுகாப்புத் துறையை சித்தரிப்பார். அமெரிக்க மக்கள் மனதில் விஷ விதையை விதைப்பார். கமலை அமெரிக்காவிற்கு வர விடாமல் தடை விதிக்க தாங்கள் தான் மனம் வைக்க வேண்டும். கமலுக்கு அவர் சொந்த நாட்டிலேயே மதிப்பில்லை. வருங்கால இந்தியப் பிரதமர் ஆன செல்வி ஜெயலலிதா அவர்களே கமலின் படத்திற்கு தடை விதித்து இருந்தார் என்றால் பார்த்துக் கொள்ளுங்களேன்.
தயாரிப்பாளர் பேரி ஆஸ்பெர்னின் அடுத்த படத்தில் கமல் இரட்டை வேடத்தில் நடிக்கிறார் என்று தெரிகிறது. ஒன்று இந்திய முதியோர் இல்லத்தில் தனிமையில் வருந்தும் தந்தை கதாபாத்திரம். மற்றொன்று அமெரிக்க பிரசிடென்ட்டான பாரக் ஓபாமா. ஆம்.. நீங்களே தான் மிஸ்டர் பிரசிடென்ட். நியூக்ளியர் வெப்பன் பயன்பாட்டால் ஏற்படும் பாதிப்பை நீங்க நேரடியாக உணர்ந்து, "அமெரிக்கா அணு ஆயுத்தத்தை கீழே வைக்கிறது" என நீங்க மனம் திறந்துவது போல் படமாம். என்னக் கொடுமை பாருங்க இது? அவங்களாம் ஆயுதங்களை கீழ வச்சா தான நாம வைக்க முடியும்? கமலும் அமெரிக்கா வர கூடாது, கமல் படமும் அமெரிக்கா வர கூடாது. அமெரிக்காவே பின்னர் போர்க்களம் ஆகி விடும். 1861 முதல் 1865 கி.பி. வரை நடந்த உள்நாட்டுப் போர் மீண்டும் நடந்தாலும் நடக்கலாம். ஏன்னா 2003-ல் 'அன்பே சிவம்' என்றொரு படத்தில் நடித்துள்ளார்.. அதில் அவர் "கம்யூனிஸ்ட்"டாக வருவார். அதில் ஸ்டாலின் போலவே மீசை வச்சிருப்பார் மிஸ்டர் பிரசிடென்ட். டெல்லி மாணவி கற்பழிப்பு சம்பவத்திற்கு நாடே மரண தண்டனைத் தரணும் என்ற பொழுது.. மரண தண்டனைக்கு எதிராக இவர் மட்டும் குரல் கொடுக்கிறார். 2004-ல் அதுக்கும் 'விருமாண்டி'ன்னு ஒரு படம் எடுக்கிறார். விஸ்வரூபம் பட காட்சி ஒன்றில், நீங்க டி.வி. நியூஸ்ல வந்து, 'இனிமே பின்லேடனால் பிரச்சனை இல்லை'ன்னு சொல்றீங்க. உடனே உங்களை இழிவுப்படுத்துவது போல் கமல், 'என்ன ஒரு மனுஷா சாவை திருவிழா போல கொண்டாடுறாங்க' என பழிப்பா பெண்தன்மை மிக்க தொனில கேட்கிறார்.
இப்படி அவர் அமெரிக்காவிற்கு எதிராக செய்து வரும் அநியாயங்கள், அட்டகாசங்கள் எண்ணிலடங்கா. மிஸ்டர் பிரசிடென்ட் உங்க டைம்-மை கருத்தில் கொண்டு சிலதை மட்டும் சுட்டிக் காட்டியுள்ளேன்.
நன்றி.

just asking, waht will be the ticket cost for those bollywood films releasing in good amc theaters? And what other facilities? What is the general rentinc costs of those theaters..
AMC chain of theaters owned by US ppl or Indians like Reliance? Do you guys think thye use their clout to make sure only Hindi films release there?
Whatever be the reason, i guess TFI ppl shud intervene and break the ice! Its actually their duty to deliver good movie-watching experience to their Tamil audience. Actually this is shame on them, that too with TFI being very dominent in producing both Mass and Content. I guess even now, its Tamil films dubbed, remade into other languages which are more in number and not the reverse.

Good to see VR's performance at Box Office. If I were Kamal Haasan. I would have really worried about VR's performance in Hindi. Because during mid 90's Hindustani had as much opening as top hindi stars and based on that Kamal decided to make Chachi 420 based on Avvai Shanmughi and it also met with success. Kamal did have a good fan base in north during that time. Now either Kamal has lost the fan base or this movie is not their type of movie. I expected lot more in Hindi for VR.

I don't think that is right. Here at Century in Fremont they had special pricing for first two days for VR. First day it was 16 $ and second it was 40$ because Kamal's crew visited. They just rented the cinema hall for certain no. of shows and did a pricing on their own. Originally Posted by irir123

Additionally, they've started screening at Regal cinemas as well. General tix price for Hindi films is 11.50 USD. However, on tuesdays only, Hindi movies are priced at 6 USD (Tamil+Telugu movies do not count.) Personally, Rave cinemas are way better then these so-called desi halls. Irritating to see some elders bringing in grandchildren - lkg range children to VR & violent based films. They kick, scream, etc.
Highest telugu price I've seen is 16 USD, this was for recent Mahesh Babu/Venkatesh starrer SVSC. Coming back to VR, it's the FIRST tamil movie to screen in major US multiplex (Rave cinemas, which only screens Hindi movies dist. by UTV/Yash Raj). No intervals and better seating capacity/sound system
High time [well-deserving] Tamil movies start releasing in major US plexes. Why should the crap telugu masalas get useless screens? Moreso, the desi halls that's owned by Reliance have gone down the drain. It's a real problem with multiple Hindi biggies get more screen preference than Tamil movies.

3. it need to be the production houses having a direct agreement with amc. like how the studios/distributors directly deal with them
4. tickets are priced variably weekdays - 5 - 10 $s , weekends 15 $s
5. it works mostly based on schedule and timing and the screens available
6. have to be only digital
it totally depends on the distributor ....obviously the cost of screening in amc is costly -- against the dabba theatres - as long as tamil crowd keeps coming to the dabba theatres the distributors get a lions share as they typically charge the same rate as they wud in amc . so it comes back to demand and supply - i do not think we have enuf crowd yet in the us to demand a standard amc release
recently few changes i have seen
1. nepv,thuppaki etc were dealt by a different distributor here..a realtor and he released them in carmike a tier 2 chain of theatres...though thuppaki ran for 2 weeks i guess nepv wud have bit his hands much... so back to sqaure one with releasing tamil movies in $1 discount theatres.

It is not very often that Tamil films get listed among the best in IMDB. But for someone of Kamal Haasan's stature, it's not such a difficult stature.
His latest film, Vishwaroopam, has managed to get 9.5 out of 10. Almost 12,800 users have already voted for the film in the popular rating site, and the number is constantly on the rise even. If the film manages to get a minimum of 25,000 votes, there is an chance that it can be listed as the best amongst the top 250 movies of the world.

Kamal Hassan hopes Malaysia will lift ban on Vishwaroopam soon
NEW DELHI: South Indian actor, Kamal Hassan hopes that Malaysia will lift the ban on his movie, “Vishwaroopam” soon.
“I am sad that some other countries are yet to release the movie, especially Malaysia and Dubai. It will be good if they allow it to be screened,” he
said.
"It is a good movie and everyone should watch it," Kamal Hassan, 58, was reported to have said at a press conference in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The controversial spy thriller movie, written, directed and produced by him, hit a roadblock after objections from members of Muslim organisations.
After much negotiation, he agreed to make certain alterations. The movie finally hit 500 over theatres in Tamil Nadu on Feb 7.
In Malaysia, the movie was released as scheduled on Jan 24, but was pulled out on Friday Jan 25 noon onwards after a directive from Home Ministry.
It was reported that the movie would be screened in Malaysia with 16 cuts, but the date is yet to be announced.
Kamal Hassan also said the sequel " Vishwaroopam-2" would be released this year as well. -- BERNAMA

Yes, their support was good. But still, probably because of the confusion in release dates or other Telugu movies, VR was released in less than 10 theatres. Normally, big star's movies (including masala movies like Ongolu Githa and Mirchi in the past two weeks) release in 50-70 theatres in Hyd alone. Anyway, nothing much can be done now.

rashwin1979 - why this comparison ?
'enthiran' is a top-notch production, a cut above many contemporary Indian films - Shankar did justice to Rajini the actor, especially in sequences/scenes where he allowed Rajini to emote and underplay - its been a very long time, since any director did this - for someone who grew up in the 1980s and who was getting increasingly frustrated with Rajini's choice of films and roles, it was very heartening to see this! (icevariya amma plastic moonji ellaam namakku onnumey uraikkala - even though she is a talented actress, enthiranla she was just a cosmetic attraction - it was an out and out Rajini and cgi film)
and the special effects/cgi employed in enthiran are some of the very best we have seen in indian cinema.
with VR, Kamal has taken TFI and IF to the next level.
instead of celebrating the occasion, why resort to comparison, and, provoke unwanted responses ?
just my humble two cents

The Tamil Box Office success of VR ....is all the more commendable because of the following reasons
There are no big names other than Kamal (from a TN perspective). In fact most of the cast members are virtually unknowns to TN movie goers . Same is the case with with the people behind the scenes...Even Shankar Ehsan Loy are not household names here ...So, Kamal had to carry this movie on his shoulders...all by himself...
The movie has no 'block buster' elements in it...No Kuthu paatu, No item song...no separate comedy track...
Kamal is bold enough to ...violate every single rule ....defined to make a BB...

radiochandra sir, Originally Posted by radiochandra

Agreed, saying in less than 10 was not accurate and in a more generic sense..compared to the regular releases (50-70 theatres, including Robot).
From Jan 26th DC, VR was released in 22 theatres out of which 50% were not 70mm or reputed theatres. And no INOX or PVR. Sandhya 35mm being its main theatre says it all!! Naayak in 3rd week was in Sandhya 70mm.
Released in 4-5 multiplexes, but only 4-5 shows. Naayak/SVSC/Race 2 were in 8-10 multiplexes, and this included Prasads/INOX/PVR etc.
Second week, VR was in 8 theatres and 2 multiplexes. 3 shows in Prasads, no INOX/PVR. Even Kadali relesed in 10+ multiplexes including INOX, PVR, CineMax. Compare this to Ongolu Githa releasing in 50+ theatres, besides Naayak/SVSC running in better theatres and many multiplexes.
Hind VR release was/is very small - less than 10 shows all put together
Third week, VR is in 5 theatres with 4 shows each, and 5-6 multiplexes (INOX, PVR and CineMax included now) with avg 2 shows. Compare this with Mirch in 70+ theatres, including almost all multiplexes with 5-10 shows.
Now, Devi 70mm is the main screen for VR (and out of Sandhya 35mm).
The gripe is that VR did not release big like even lesser movies did. Kadali had more multiplex releases (including INOX/PVR/CineMax etc). Cannot even compare with Robot release. VR did not even run 5 shows per day in Prasads. Good that Devi 70mm (a much better theatre) has now replaced Sandhya 35mm in the 3rd week.
It is unfortunate that a good chance for a huge opening was lost..probably because of the change in release dates. Or, a better distributor like Dil Raju (!) may have helped. But, am glad it is still a hit.

Vishwaroopam
Written, Directed & Produced by Kamal Hassan
Banner : Raaj Kamal Films International
Music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Cinematography : Sanu Varghese
Editing : Mahesh Narayanan
Cast : Kamal Haasan, Rahul Bose, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Jaideep Ahlawat, Nasser, US marines, Terrorists, FBIs, Spl Cameo Manmohan singh, Miles Anderson, Shekhar Kapur
Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) is an ambitious young lady who accepts to marry an American Resident Indian, a Kathak Dancer Vishwanathan (Kamal Haasan), just to escape the tyranny of her orthodox South Indian family as well as to persue her PHD studies in Nuclear science. Little did she know that her marital life would not be as she had dreamed, as Viswanathan eventhough a straight, has all the gayish personalities. So to get away from her unsucessful marriage life and to advance in the affair she seems to have with her employer, she hires a detective to pursue her husband and dig open any hidden information that could be of help for a divorce. Again, little did she know that she would dig open those which should be left hidden but also in the process learns the true identity of her husband and wantedly or unwanted she becomes a tool for him to fight against Global Terrorism.
Vishwaroopam is engaging and entertaining. A good team work had led to a good product. In many places the movie shines in its technical brilliance, be it the shots or visuals. In the naration point of view, the story is told with suspence and indepth drama which is a rare in these kind of genres. The movie is Cut into 3 major episodes without giving a slightest doubt to the audience. The shift between the 3 realms is beautifully handled, where passed scenes are showcased once again with a new element. The way it switches is briliant & this is how the story moves without any confusion.
Performence
The main highlight goes to Pooja Kumar. She has an immense talent of emoting, but her cultural accent and voice may irritate you (it did to me). Its been days that I have seen an actress rolling their eyes according to the emotional depth and dialogues (lastly it was Saritha). Secondly its Rahul Bose all the way. Its quite difficult to carry out that wounded act all the way in the film without changing the meter. His explanations are menancing, thanks to his voice modulations. Jaideep uses his role aptly, but gives a rushed performence. The Master Actor Nasser is just perfect in his role. The other side casts have done a tight job, thanks to their mentor Kamal Hassan.
Kamal has nothing much to prove (he has already proved it). His role is a cake walk for him. Right from his entry as a Kathak dancer to emotional exchange with Nirupama towards the end, whichever role he is doing, he is beleivable. The expressions - fear, anguish, threat, fallony, betrayal ... etc ... etc ... - he changes them in each passing second at ease. As usual, his get-ups are rocketing skyhigh (except for his plaster clad face - just that I still don't understand why he likes to roam around like that in all his movie ventures... LoL). There are several scenes that I enjoyed - Vishwanathan seducing Farouq being my favorite and funniest !
I would like to cut out the phrase largely used in this thread - Only Kamal Possible. I assure you that its not the best work of Kamal eventhough he shines in the both direction and naration. Simple - He concentrated only on certain aspects of film making, which is a rare case comparing his earlier works. The Music was not aptly used, expect for the Theme. I liked the Chroral version of the theme, though. It was catchy for the suituation. The costumes during the US part is a major let down. The Winter wears for many artisit just don't fit in the suituation. The rope stunt act could have been avoided. Even in the extremely tight scence where Bose falls on Kamal, you could see the rope trick. Also the CGI, the shadows of the helicopter moves faster than the helicopter. There are several such flaws easily visible to the eyes - these parts could have been tightened.
And the end was a big let down, as it is not a way to educate the audience that there is a second part. Eventhough the Part 1 is complete, the impact that was with held for about 150 mins was let loose all of a sudden. The viewers fell like they lost in a long held tug-of-war rope game.
Taliban Scenes
Taliban episode would not be boring, if you had paid attention. The horror that is unfolded in the Drama is excellent. Those living in US and Europe would largely relate to what they have heard about the suituations in Afgan. For others - time to open your eyes.
Ban on the Movie
Lot was disucessed here. I just want to register that - the whole thing started with Omar uttering that he lived in Coimbatore and Madurai. Well folks Omar is shown as operating from US soil + living in a house with "others" + He has the balls to place a call to FBI + ... => movie was welcomed in US.
Special Note
It came to me as a suprise, as I was not expecting Kamal to break it. It took approx. 2 decades (17 years) to break the charm of Badsha tranformation scene. Kamal did it thru his Viswaropam scene in the Warehouse. Eventhough Badshah will forever be a cult scene, Viswaroopam will be its Bad-Ass-Version forever.
Thanks to Kamal and his whole team.
Viswaroopam - Plenty of roopams throughout.
To be continued ... Viswaroopam II in India

Q & A
1) There was a post initialy asking about Andrea's role and Why Kamal did not speak normaly when alone with them (sorry cannot find the post)
Andrea, Shekhar Kapur & Miles Anderson are the known team members of Kamal. There may be many others in the form of informers, double agents, associates ... etc. When in undercover, they take up a specific role and will shed it down only if the suituation is critical or the mission is over. In this case, Andrea is an agent whose objective is to keep close to Kamal + help him in his disguise. She plays as his student. Never in any point of time they announce each other, but talk in clues. Pay attention to how and what they coverse in the first 40 minutes you will know. Thus Kamal did not speak normaly.
For those expecting Andrea's role explained or extended in VR2 - Not needed, as the character does not need neither. Personally I do not wish her "Mayavaram" performence one more time
2) Why Kamal took the detective to the warehouse when he is a talented spy (another question asked by someone)
Well, the sleeping cells was monitored for a long time. The team is aware of the detective. Just before the events unfold, you see a bref meeting between the 4 and then Kamal enters the mosque. This is where the act is put in place. (Answer to SoftSword - he does not go to the Mosque to sniff out terrorist). They are going to confuse & use the detective as a key to penetrate the cell. He calling Sekhar Kapoor addressing him as "Mama" is the end of the act signaling that the target has reached the destination.
Their calculation : bring out Deepak, the cell members and the most wanted Omar in a decent or ugly way.
Colletral damage : Detective's and Deepak's death.
Objective accompished : Omar /sleeper cell comes out.
3) @kryptonts
No there is nothing of that sort - neither the fly feeds on fleash as its a domestic Taliban village nor the flies are attracted to gun powder. It projects the clamness of the suituation - these guys are waiting for the order to go and meet their Leader. The buzzzz potrays the silence provoked due to - stress, anxiety, fear, what not. In tamil you can call it Mayana Amaidhi. Originally Posted by kryptonts

For me VR2, if the story goes in the right track, will concentrate on the plan to penetrate the taliban, the understanding of Wizam under Taliban, difficulty of a double agent to identify, rescue and escape + loyality of the fellow spies + deception of fellow memebers and again ends with a confusion whether he is a muslim or not - nallavara ketavara - thingy.
5) @ Kalyan (with Nasc Reply) : http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...=1#post1015793
Yes, its a mind game Played by Kamal and nothing to do with amenisia or confusion. They are trained to take any extreme measures given a fatal suituation. Nothing worked in this case, so he was left with the ultimate decesion - Vishwaroopam.
6) @sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar
I could not trace out why you put this comment. If the question is about the begining - the Psy and Nirupama interview - well its the model of story telling. Not that all that is showed should have a proper meaning or connection. Its the opening to a visual naration. You can also start by showing the detective & narating his meeting with nirupama or Kamal in a mosque praying and flashbacks hitting us or however you want. Its strictly the creators choice. I think he started with Nirupama to show us the deep cultural thingy still impact with the South indian Women - or whatever. Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar
Just like how the first line is important for a novel, the opening in important in visual narration. In recent times Endhiran and Billa 2 had right-to-the point opening except that Endhiran had the Aish factor in scenes that followed but Billa 2 stuck to what it wanted to tell. Vishwaroopam went a bit further and sustained the suspence and held the audience until the warehouse episode. Then it went futher on to explain visually what was seen and provoked. This is the true art of story telling.
7) @sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar
To my understanding there is no hidden meaning unless it was his family jewel and he will rejoin his long-lost twin brother with it ... LoL. Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

- 2 face just like the hero
- 2 personalities in one just like Viswanath
- 2 getting one - Viz + nirupama as shown towards the end.
8) post where someone was asking / talking about the photoshoot
I personally dont know whether Talibans are against taking photos - but the scene where Nasser insits on taking a photo should be thought before putting this question. Nasser wanted the photo mainly to register Kamal + show him to their Boss. Omar taking photo is to show his inner human feelings which was provoked by Kamal thru the likes of "KattiPudi Vaithiyam". But still Omar drives away 2 kids from posing for the photo.
9) @ Nasc (with Isafan's reply) : http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...=1#post1014990
My take is that : the boy did not shoot Clara (the sans frontier French Doctor). The bombing are shown as to give a big slap on the face of NATO. This scene is where he projects the lies that we are constantly told by the Police of the world. They say they dont bomb villages, kill kids and women. Right from the old man walking towards the jeep till Kamal throwing the pistol down potrays the inhuman attacks by the coilation army. The boy was nowhere in a position to shoot her, that too with a head shot to her right temple. The boy is positioned to the left and he was hiding, just like playing with his fellow kids, but only here the attack was not a kids-game.
Clara was shot in such a way that the shooter had a good visiblity at her and should have known who she is. He shot her anyway. Plus the undead Horse tells that she was not caught in a heavy fire. Do your calculations.

2) Why Kamal took the detective to the warehouse when he is a talented spy (another question asked by someone)
Well, the sleeping cells was monitored for a long time. The team is aware of the detective. Just before the events unfold, you see a bref meeting between the 4 and then Kamal enters the mosque. This is where the act is put in place. (Answer to SoftSword - he does not go to the Mosque to sniff out terrorist). They are going to confuse & use the detective as a key to penetrate the cell. He calling Sekhar Kapoor addressing him as "Mama" is the end of the act signaling that the target has reached the destination.
Their calculation : bring out Deepak, the cell members and the most wanted Omar in a decent or ugly way.
Colletral damage : Detective's and Deepak's death.
Objective accompished : Omar /sleeper cell comes out.
Great analysis ! But I think that the detective's death was not part of the plan... Wiz's mama asks him to get the hell out of that place...when Wiz tells him that he is being being tailed by Niru's private eye...
Perhaps it was Wiz's intention to spy the warehouse himself ....

after prayers, wiz actually follows this guy(forgot his name) who eventually goes towards the warehouse... the team was following all the suspects to see what is going on... and this guy is the one who when comes out opening the door finds the detective and bangs on his head...
i think the team would not have wanted to risk getting a detective to involve and mess up with what was going on... cos if the omar gang finds out the place is being monitored, they would try to take covers or may set the game on pause or atleast be more cautious in their moves which would not help the RAW team either...

yes, While talking to Sekhar Kapur, kamal says that he is going to the warehouse and the Spy is following him.. Sekhar kapur asks that "Nee angE YaEn PonaE?". Then Kamal decides to leave the place, by mistake Peter lands himself in trouble... Originally Posted by vikatan

Kudos to the entire well thought out and written post! I agree to a certain extent that he tried to portray the calmness of the situation. But I also had a feeling that it might symbolize that they have not used these guns for a long long time(albeit scenes showing that they practice a lot!). There was a shot which shows plenty of guns and ammunition in the cave(After hearing the americans, where they get ready for the fight) and there is a slight pause for 2 secs showing a Jihad standing alone with a lot of guns in the background. I was thinking that may be these were linked. If in a deeper context, something was certainly said from that scene, which in my opinion is, that the fly starts its journey from the tip of the rifle as it knows that it is going to have feast later!

Kalyan, no loose ends or loopholes at least related to this sequence, pls read my previous post #695... Kamal finish his namaz and going to warehouse to see what's happening there; without knowing the danger of that place, the spy appointed by Niru follows kamal. Kamal inform Sekhar kapur and decide to leave the place because of the spy following... Unknowingly / unfortunately, that spy(peter manivannan) landed in the warehouse thinking Kamal is there inside and get caught by the Umar gang. Originally Posted by kalyan

I agree that there are 2 possiblities to draw in with the given suituation : I find this hypothese a bit far fetched. Thus I mentioned the 2nd possibility, as it has a reason + outcome. Originally Posted by Cinemarasigan
According to Possibility 1 - Kamal going to spy and accidently Peter manivannan got inbetween - does not work for me, keeping in mind the high profile opération they are into.
Anyway, Both are possible, but we got to weight them to see which one aptly suits.

CR,
Kamal follows Feroze down the stairs,Peter watches him.Next scene is Kamal talking to Shekar that dhadiyan sent by Niru is following him,what should he do?
I had raised a point earlier that I felt this was clumpsily handled.Unless the whole act is deliberate,this episode will look very unconvincing.
Deliberate is what P_R earlier and now mappi imply.

KH does not bring in atheism here (he cannot because he's an orthodox Muslim in the movie). He wants to know if the kadavul is Allah or Hindu God. Originally Posted by tifosi

விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை மற்ற படங்களின் சாதனையோடு ஒப்பிடுவது என்னைப் பொறுத்தவரை மிகவும் தவறு.
தமிழ் திரை உலகில் இதுவரை சாதனை படைத்த படங்களை எடுத்துக் கொண்டால் ஜனரஞ்சகமான படங்கள் தான் பெரிய வெற்றி பெற்று இருக்கிறது. பாடல்களும்,நகைச்சுவை காட்சிகளும் மிகப் பெரிய பங்கு வகுத்து இருக்கிறது.
ஒரு நடிகரை மட்டும் நம்பி இதுவரை தமிழ் திரை உலக வரலாற்றில் எந்த ஒரு படமும் விஸ்வரூபத்தைப் போல் சாதனை படைத்தது இல்லை.
தங்களை மட்டும் நம்பி படம் எடுக்க இப்பொழுது இருக்கும் சூப்பர்(?) ஸ்டாருக்கும்,இளம் நடிகர்களுக்கும் தைரியமும் கிடையாது,திறமையும் கிடையாது.
குறைந்த பட்சம் அடுத்த 30 வருடங்களுக்கு விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தின் சாதனையை முறியடிக்க கமலைத் தவிர எந்த நடிகருக்கும் வாய்ப்பு இல்லை.

We have come to know that the amount for which Kamal Haasan sir pledged his properties stands at approximately 67 Crores. The good news is he has managed to clear off about 57 Crores so far and he is on track to clear the remaining 10 crores before February 15th.Phenomenal revenues for ‘Vishwaroopam’ in Tamil Nadu are helping him.
Financiers involved in the matter are said to be extremely happy over Kamal Haasan sir’s repayment. After all, who would want to see Kamal Haasan sir lose all his money?

the number is an worldwide one and only Rajkamal has access to collate the numbers. Anyways, as i always say thatstamil is always pro-rajini(which is thier wish) and anti-kamal! I know an rajini fan blogger too who is associated with thatstamil! He writes pure baseless craps against kamal in his blog and same stuff is mildly toned down and written in this site.

Recently when there was rumour that the film made 300Cr in DTH, it was thatstamil which first wrote an article that this is fake news. Its a fake news agreed but they also wrote that they contacted kamal and he confirmed it! But the truth is none of them contacted RKFI for that issue!

Nov,
The 67 crore loan is from an article or your source.
If true,would anybody or a group given that kind of money just for the Alwarpet office?
Also,does anybody know at what frequency theatres settle with distributors and when they in turn pay the producer's share.
Am assuming there is a profit sharing deal and RKFI has not done an outright sale in which case all profits will go to the distributor but if film had not come out,RKFI would have had to return the sale amount.

from the facts available, i think we can infer that kamal is a musalmaan... this being supported by the fact that he does not share bed with pooja under the act of being effiminate... so that the one hint to pooja that he could be a musalmaan is denied...
(on the other hand, its unethical for vishwa to have lived with pooja as husband-wife only for a cover, is more than a bit taken her for granted... i also wonder how the hindu marriage ceremony would have taken place... with vishwa having no hindu relatives from his side? or all of them who did attend from his side were madeup? pooja says(i suppose) that the alliance was initiated thru her family which means that they would have atleast checked if he has a hindu family background(!!??)... here comes the doubt, in such a case is he a hindu originally?)
and as we have discussed initially, that 'endha kadavul' dialogue was by Mr. Kamal and not vishwa/wizam... did not gel in well with the narration as it was misleading people to think he could be an atheist in the movie...

Kamal Haasan`s Vishwaroopam has taken Chennai box-office by storm. 13 days after it`s worldwide release the film opened in nearly 40 screens in Chennai city on February 7.Vishwaroopam is the clear number one by a mile as it stormed CBO with a four day gross of Rs 4.05 Cr, which is excellent by any yardstick.
All the other films put together will not come near Vishwaroopam collections! SoVishwaroopam is 1 to 3 at the CBO.
Way down at number four for the sake of a box-office countdown is Kadal. The film has been shifted to the smallest screens in multiplexes. And in the fifth place is the Telugu filmMirchi.

Setting up a family and get married is not a mamooth task for these profiled people. Sekar Kapor (as Mama) could have piloted the marriage forging all the documents necessary appealing that Kamal is a Hindu, and as amibition blinds Nirupama, she failed to see the actual (gay) nature of Viswanathan. Once living with him - unsatisfied sex / social life - her affair with Deepak opens her eyes to take the ultimate decesion. Her guilt (Kanavan/manivi) depresses her and she meets the Psy ... Originally Posted by SoftSword

About the Endha Kadavul, I would not pounder it knowing the track record of Kamal in this matter. Anyway, comments/views are welcomed but would lead us no where to see whether he is a muslim or not.
Me too feel he being a muslim, until someone comes up why he is not. But his real name cannot be Wizam Kashmiri. If so, there is a big hole in the logic.

Nirupama says to the docter, "nalla veLa jagannath mama londonla irunthaar, avar moolamaa ithu nadanthathu" something like this. So sekar kapur uses Nirupama's needs to do this marriage of convinence to both, with Wiz agreeing for "padunthunde padikka mudiyaathu"

first of all, i dont think he is gay or portrayed to be one... he is just an effiminate... oru velai gay'na vera edhunaa arttham irukka??
ultimate decision? what is that? she hints that she did not sleep with deepak, atleast not until that psychiatrist session... her guilt was, grown up in a orthodox background, she having feelings for another guy other than her husband and going around with that guy makes her feel guilty which is the reason why she consults the psychiatrist...

This question lingers in my mind for a long time now. I got myself satisfied with the following self explanation. Originally Posted by mappi

Having said this, there's another scene in the second half, where Ashmita says the office is already bugged and they know all the details without Niru revealing. In that case, why should KH marry Niru if he can gain access to details without her help?!

I guess she says she will be guilt only if she didn't find him guilty using the detective! I don't see she feeling guilt for his affair with deepak. Its marriage of convenience after all. Wiz showing too much love and affection on her is the reason she has to do all this.
And that mama, why not, i guess sekar is her uncle and not his. maybe she dint knew much about him before.. Also, if he is muslim, how can jagannath be a mama for him?!

Jagannathan is Nirupama's mama.
He is also Wiz's boss.
Presumably, when their operation needed access to Deep's office, Jagannathan had Wiz married to his niece who would get into Deepak's labs and thus they'd have access to the lab through her. That the uncle was cold-hearted enough to use his niece thus is portrayal of the extent to which these folks go to ('we have a reputation to keep' 'Do we? What kind?). Although the movie doesn't allow her the reprieve to question them about how she has been used.
But the biggest leap of 'logic' is why this was chosen as the method to get access to the laboratory

If so, i have not seen such an aloof relationship between a niece and uncle ... keeping in mind the orthodox factor.
Just saying a hello thru phone (not enquiring anything) + She coming late knowing that the uncle is at home ... so on soforth does not really appele to me.

Chumma oru wild assumption..... It might be stretching things too far.......... But is there any chance that there might be a twist in the second part where it is revealed that Nirupama is not what she seems to be ....... I remember there were these theories floating around before that the reason for the title is Vishwanath + Nirupama
...... The last frame in VR 1 before the teaser for VR 2 begins has these 4 people (Kamal,Andrea, Shekar Kapoor and Pooja walking towards us)...3 are secret agents....does anyone here feel that there is a remote chance that even the 4th one is also a spy....

I wont be surprised, if kamal frequents the Hub, since the hub features quite frequently in google searches related to Kamal haasan. Moreover, the hub has been quoted extensively in KH communties in Orkut and other social media. And Kamal has an attraction for the word "mayyam" for more than two decades now, and his online magazine too is named after the same word, as 'Maiam". In fact, for a long time I had this feeling that this Hub itself is run by KH, via proxy.... Originally Posted by Kanna

Yet to watch the movie..But this seems like the usual kiss ass approach to Kamal films..I admit, I have done this before myself.. But are we really trying to kid ourselves when we say the film is of Hollywood standards?? Whatever Kamal has made in terms of action sequences, is atleast 5 years behind hollywood times..Im sure ppl have seen Skyfall, The Marvel, Bourne & MI series (just to name a few).. even hollywood comedies have incomparable visuals vis a vis Indian movies.

VISHWAROOPAM ON SATURDAY EVENING AT PRASAD'S IMAX SCREEN
Guys, as a mark of celebration of my 10th viewing of the film, I extend an open invitation to Bangalore / Chennai / other hubbers who can travel to Hyderabad for the weekend. Imax has opened Tamil version for the 4th week, which is due to the overwhelming demand.
Tried to rope in Sakala but looks like he is stuck this weekend. Any others ( cinema rasigan / cinefan / any hubber ) who wants to join me is welcome to Hyderabad. I have a spare apartment for accomodation, needless to say loaded with ethanol. Tickets for the movie will be on me, as a tribute to KH for making a film like this.
So, just take care of the travel part, inform me on 897 899 0007 at the earliest.

Kamal says, “While it’s a fact that Vishwaroopam has met with huge success at the box-office, I don’t think it has crossed the Rs.100 crore mark in theatrical collections at this early stage; it might do so later but now now,” he clarified.

விஸ்வரூபம் - குமுதம் விமர்சனம்
விஸ்வரூபம் - தமிழில் ஓர் உலகப் படம் !
அமெரிக்காவின் நியூயார்க் நகரத்தைச் சிதைக்க எதிரிகள் போடும் சதித் திட்டத்தை இந்திய உளவாளி கமல் முறியடிக்கும் சாகசக் கதை.
கதக் நாட்டியக்காரராக இருக்கும்போது பெண்மையின் நளினம், எதிரிகளைக் கண்ணாலேயே ஈர்க்கும் மாய்மாலம், ஒன்றும் தெரியாத குழந்தை போல காட்சி தரும் முஸ்லீம் வேடம், அவர் யார் என்று தெரியும்போது ஏற்படும் அசுரத்தனம், உளவாளியாக மாறும்போது உண்டாகும் ஹூரோத்தனம் என்று உலக நாயகன் என்றால் சும்மாவா? மனிதர் விஸ்வரூபத்தில் தசாவதாரத்தைக் காட்டுகிறார். அதுவும் அவரது மனைவி, வேறு தொடர்பில் இருப்பது தனக்குத் தெரியும் என்பதைக் காட்ட கண்ணை விழித்துக் கொண்டே குறட்டை விடும் அந்த ஒரு காட்சி போதுமே! க்ளாஸ்!
நடிகராக உழைத்ததைப் போலவே இயக்குநராகவும் அதே அளவு கமல் பங்காற்றியிருப்பது பளிச்சென்று தெரிகிறது. காட்சியமைப்புகள், கேமரா கோணங்கள், ஒரு கண் அசைவிலேயே சீனை நகர்த்தும் ஜாலவித்தைகள், லொக்கேஷன்கள் என்று ஒவ்வொன்றிலும் அவரது உழைப்பு உ. கை.நெ !
பூஜா குமார் யதார்த்தம். தன் கணவன் தனக்குப் பொருத்தமில்லை என்று நினைத்து தடுமாறும்போதும், பின்னர் அவர் எப்படிப்பட்ட நபர் என்பதைப் புரிந்து கொண்டு, மிரண்டு திரும்பும்போதும் சரியான பேலன்ஸ். ஆண்ட்ரியா படம் முழுக்க சும்மா வருகிறார். கதக் நடனத்தில் அழகாக இருக்கிறார். அவ்வளவுதான். தலைவர், ஒரு கிஸ்ஸாவது அடித்திருக்கலாம்! முல்லா உமராக வரும் ராகுல்போஸ் மனதில் பதிகிறார். டப்பாவில் இருந்து கண்ணைச் சுத்தம் செய்து அணிந்து, தொண்டையில் அடி ஆழக் குரலில் பேசும்போதே ஒரு அச்சம் ஏற்படுகிறது பலே.
ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் டாக்டராக ஆசைப்படும் சிறுவன், அதைத் தடுக்கும் தந்தை சும்மா கையை வைத்து சுடுவது போல் பாவனை செய்ய, அந்த டிஸ்யூம் ஒவ்வொருவருக்காகத் தொற்றிக் கொள்ளும் காட்சியும், அந்த சிறுவனை ஊஞ்சலாட வைக்க கமல் முயல, அவன் நகர்ந்து விட, மறுநாள் தற்கொலை வெடிகுண்டாக மாறப்போகும் இளைஞன் குழந்தை மாதிரி ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுவதும் கவிதை. படம் முழுக்க சீரியஸ்தனத்தையும் தாண்டி மெலிதாக ஆக்கிரமிக்கும் புன்முறுவல் தரும் சுவையை கையாண்டிருக்கும் நேர்த்தி கமல்ஹாசனைத் தவிர யாருக்கும் வராது. அமெரிக்க ஜால்ராவைக் குறைத்திருக்கலாம்.
அம்மாஞ்சி மாதிரி இருக்கும் கமல், கைக் கட்டை அவிழ்த்தவுடன் தொழுகையை முடித்துவிட்டு, சிங்கமாய்ச் சீறிப்பாய்ந்து எதிரிகளைப் பந்தாடும் காட்சி மெய்சிலிர்க்க வைக்கிறது. கரகரவென கழுத்து அறுபடும் காட்சி, பாதி உடல் மட்டும் துடிக்கத் துடிக்க வந்து விழும் காட்சி, கை துண்டாகும் காட்சி என்று சில நிழல்கள் மனதை கூறுபோடுகின்றன. சானு வர்கீஸின் ஒளிப்பதிவு மெய்மறக்க வைக்கிறது. அமெரிக்காவாகட்டும், ஆப்கானிஸ்தானத்து செட்டாகாட்டும் நிஜமாகவே எதிரில் அது இருப்பது போல் காட்டியிருப்பதற்கு கை தட்டலாம்.
"உன்னைக் காணாத" கதக் பாடலில் கமல் காட்டும் பாவத்தையும், நளினத்தையும் வேறு எந்த நடிகராலும் சத்தியமாகச் செய்ய முடியாது. அந்தக் காட்சியமைப்பும் கொள்ளைகொள்கிறது. இசை சங்கர் எசான் லாய். ரீரெகார்டிங்கில் காட்சிகளுடன் போட்டி போட முடியாமல் திணறுவது தெரிகிறது. கடைசிக் காட்சியை காணும்போது கமல் பார்ட்-2 வை முக்கால்வாசி எடுத்து முடித்து பாக்கெட்டில் வைத்திருக்கிறார் என்றே தோன்றுகிறது. அது இந்தியாவில் நடக்கப்போவதால் யாரும் கவலைப்பட வேண்டாம். கமல் இங்கேயேதான் இருக்கப் போகிறார்!
விஸ்வரூபம் - தமிழில் ஓர் உலகப் படம் !

From the information collected / saw so far,
Highest Collection for a Tamil Movie in US ( I believe it has been already addressed as beaten Endhiran's collection... Correct me if i am wrong )
Hindi version scheduled to release in this week in US will get more collections
15 screens increased in UK after 3rd week , likely to create record collections
3rd week run for a Tamil movie in Australia which is a rare happening
Highest collection in North India for a South Star's film
Record collection in Kerala, Andhra and Karnataka
Best opening for a tamil movie in tamil nadu (beaten Endhiran's opening weekend collections)
Discovering new markets in Europe and few other countries
Record price for the satellite rights of all the three versions (when compared to Endhiran)
DTH revenue
Missed out at
Malaysia and Dubai's contribution - I am sure it will be released and the damage will be less
For Singapore and Andhra the distribution could have been more aggressive. Had an opportunity to perform better.
I can see majority of the neutral audience opting to watch 2nd time for VR (no need to mention about us though). Even the matinee shows during weekdays are getting 100% occupancy.
With the record no. of repeated audience and record collections in majority of the locations, I dont see a reason for VR to collect less than Endhiran did. Either Endhiran's collection are over projected (may be black to white?
) or VR's collection are under played.
For "them", Endhiran should be the highest collected movie followed by Sivaji and the record to be beaten only by Kochadaiyan.

Vishwaroopam makes profit, joins the elite group
Feb 13, 2013
Vishwaroopam/Vishwaroop, the Rs 95 crore spy thriller, produced and directed by Kamal Haasan has crossed the 100 crore mark in India. The film has supposedly made a humongous Rs 120 crores in the Indian box office. This is reportedly the third Tamil film after Sivaji and Enthiran to achieve this massive feat at the BO.
The news was also confirmed by actor Rahul Bose recently through his twitter post. The film is also scoring big time at the USA and UK BO. According to trade pundits, the film (Tamil and Telugu) at the end of the third week in UK and USA (in reported theaters), has raked massive Rs 2.33 crores and Rs 6.41 crores respectively.
Meanwhile, Kamal has tentatively named the sequel as ‘Moo’. He will begin the pre-production process for the film in a month’s time. He might also be roping in a couple of Hollywood stars for the sequel.
Q1. what about thuppakki
Q2. sequel is moo?

Thridly, the movies that you have taken as exemple have 80% Computer Generated Images. They cannot be considered as Authentic Visuals. VR has some splendid visuals, ex: Taliban episodes, eventhough I hate to use it - there you go - it is indeed in par with Hollywood films.
Lastly, if you still think that Cameron's Avatar or Nolan's Batman were marvellous or masterpiece or whatever, I do not see any point in getting this discussion any further.

SPI includes all the five locations of Satyam group of Theaters, which is phenomenal by any yardstick. Kiran Reddy the CEO of SPI Cinemas tweeted "SPI Cinemas gross collections for Vishwaroopam 6 days 1.3 cr. Audience about 120,000" which means on an average 20,000 audience have been reported per day.

Kamal sir clearly confirms in Hindi that 120Cr figure is from TN alone
and if you include balance 15 states the collection will double.
This should be the Headlines everywhere.
The HEADLINES ITSELF has to change from 100-120Cr
India box office to 100-120Cr TN Box office.

from what I understood, he said the following
1. TN collections very heavy, but he has check the numbers whether one state alone 120C.
2. Overall, movie heading towards profitability easily. Total collections shud be twice that of TN
3. Transparency in reporting collections + DTH premiere wud have made 350C possible.

Adds that by that yard stick the total gross across 15 states will be twice the amount of TN but he will have to check.
Rest is about the love from people,freedom of speech,appreciation from peers and people he respects,how he will continue to entertain the people of his country which will always remain India.

Watched the film today..Maybe I went in with too much expectation, maybe I was mislead by the positive reviews online & from those around..This IMO was the most boring Kamal movie since I dunno which one to compare with (Mumbai Express comes to mind)...VR was way too slow & way too cliched for a thriller, especially when coming from KH...Agent Vinod was more fun (comparing an Indian movie, because ppl get fried if you take hollywood), demanding the same level of intellect from the viewer..Even the scenes that were supposed to have layers were mostly flat.. There were a few flashes here and there, but overall Kamal has to thank his Muslim brothers and JJ for this mass interest..He shouldn't even think about Vr2 if he wants to survive in this industry..

As a kamal fan i feel that he shud'nt direct movies, as his intellectual level's much higher than normal fans like me,i don't think he can make movies for the indian people, if he willing to make a movie for the the people of TN or India, then he has to get the screenplay done by experienced people who had box office success, his only screenplay i enjoyed was apoorva sagotharargal, which was understood by all. I had least expectations in VR, but i had to watch 2 times to understand th movie, but still thr r so many unexplained situations....

Just to make it clear, I mentioned PTA and SK for writer or directors who make sensible, entertaining movies..Those two names had nothing to do with my comment about big stars acting in their movies..Issues relating to directors and stars backing out of a movie are just speculations..If Kamal can find an Atul Tiwari in the North, he can surely find someone here..If someone wants to say there is no one of that caliber in this state, please state so.

Well Ullaganayagan ... whats your point ? This thread is about VR, and there may be subtopics that would be covered. But your are suggesting to deviate from the subject on hand. Already you suggestion about VR2 had enough of tolerence here, and you took the dicussion to personel level just for your personel amusement. Originally Posted by Ulaganayagan

You have one 1 element left. You never answer straightly to the counter-questions put at you. And you keeping calling yourself a Kamal Fan that raises a sincere doubt.
Before calling me a smart ass or whether I am coming from the adjecent planet of sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar, please clarify one thing :
Initialy you compared VR with artificial movies, then you talk about critically aclaimed movie makers, then you come back with Agent Vinod and then talk about other director who are inside a circle. Next What Tom & jerry ? What is your stand ?
You did not like VR, fine, you have all the due right. But you cannot take us for fools when you say Mumbai Express is a "bore" and using words like Layers etc. Do you know what is absurd films and their difference with experimental films ? Which movie is what ? you just seem to be attracted just by the posters and the gimmicks. Then just stop with reviewing and dont turn to pose as a critic.
If you have understood the message, please share some constructive posts and comments so that we can also learn something useful.

Frankly speaking, I am not sure if folks in the interior regions of TN will watch so carefully and appreciate all the nuances. The need to balance multiple audiences/markets has in some ways impacted the movie, in my view.

பலரும் திட்டித்தீர்க்கும் மனுஷ்யபுத்திரன் கருத்து
அதில் நான் இட்ட கமெண்ட்இன்றுட்தான் விஸ்வரூபம் பார்த்தேன். யாரோ என்னை கட்டி வைத்து அடித்ததுபோல உடம்பெல்லாம் வலிக்கிறது. இப்படி ஒரு குப்பைக்கு இவ்வளவு பெரிய முக்கியத்துவமா? இந்தப் படத்தை ஏன் ஜனங்கள் கூட்டம் கூட்டமாக பார்க்கப் போகிறார்கள் என்பதற்கு எனக்கு ஒரே ஒரு காரணம்தான் புலப்படுகிறது. சென்னையில் ஒரு கப்பல் சமீபத்தில் கரை ஒதுங்கினதை வேடிக்கை பார்க்க கும்பலாக போனோமே அதே சைக்காலஜிதான் இதிலும் வேலை செய்கிறது. தமிழனைவிட ஒரு முட்டாள் இந்த உலகத்தில் கிடைக்க மாட்டான் என்பதற்கு இதைவிட சிறந்த உதாரணம் வேறு எதுவும் இல்லை.
ஒரு திரைப்படத்தை பற்றி கருத்து சொல்லும் உரிமை நிச்சயமாக உண்டு .அதற்காக உங்களை திட்டுவதை கண்டிக்கிறேன் .ஆனால் உங்கள் அதீதமான வார்த்தைகள் அதில் உள்ள நேர்மையை சந்தேகபட வைப்பதாக இருக்கிறது . படத்தை வெளியிட தடை செய்வதை எதிர்த்த நான் படத்தையும் குப்பை என்று முற்றிலும் நிராகரிப்பதின் மூலம் என் அறிவுஜீவித்தனமான பகுத்துப் பார்க்கும் குணத்தையும் நேர்மையையும் நிரூபிக்கிறேன் பார் என கொஞ்சம் அதீதமகா போய் விட்டீர்களோ? (இதுவும் ஒரு கருத்து தான் ..நீங்கள் மறுக்க உரிமையுண்டு) . கமல்ஹாசன் படத்தில் பாடல் எழுதிய நான் எப்படி தயவு தாட்சணியம் பார்க்காமல் திட்டுகிறேன் பாருங்கள் என சொல்ல நினைக்கிறீர்களா? . அப்படியே சாருநிவேதிதா பாணியில் சொல்லியிருக்கிறீர்கள் . அவர் தான் இப்படி வச்சா குடுமி அடிச்சா மொட்டை என உளறி பல்ப் வாங்குவார் .

Kamal’s use of visual metaphors is quite stunning…The ‘swing’ scene in VR is classic…
Omar’s young son…says that ‘he is not a child’ and does not want play in the swing…
while an older man who is soon become a martyr…wants to play in the same swing..
A case of childhood being denied…and stolen… because of the war…(in both cases, there is no normal childhood)
This scene speaks a thousand words..and for me…, it is only by having such scenes that cinema becomes Art…and makes Kamal Haasan such a brilliant 'artist…

பரூக் -தீபக் - விஸ்வநாத் -நிரூபமா உரையாடலில் "அய்யய்யே! இதென்ன அய்யம்பேட்ட வேலை" என்ற வசனத்திற்காகவே கமலைப் பாராட்டலாம்.
ரெண்டு பேருக்கு இடையில சிண்டு முடிச்சிவிடும் பழக்கத்தை "அய்யம்பேட்டை வேலை" எனச் சொல்வர். அதை கமல் இங்கே பயன்படுத்தி இருப்பது சிறப்பு.

Ulaganayagan,
Whether you are a fan or not makes no difference.There is no hard and fast rule that all fans should like the movie.
But there is something about your writing which gives the impression of an agenda driven post.Your "I have not seen the movie but people praising it looks kiss-ass.Is it equal to Bourne Series,Dark Knight etc visually" yesterday or the day before was a pointer.
And to say VR2 should be dropped if KH wants to survive is stuff.
As some of the other's have pointed out he has survived for 5 decades,don't think any one of us need to tell him how to survive and it's none of our business.That was a very condensing statement and hence elicited such responses.
You want to tell why you did not like the movie,go ahead or any discussions will be a waste of time.
There is no difference between your's and Manushyaputran's bland 'this is kuppai' one liner.

(Chennai, coimbatore, trichy and Madurai) The mentioned dramas all happen later. If VR would have released on 25th all over the world simultaneously, it would have got more collection than the delayed release... Originally Posted by Siv.S

Since Hollywood standard is being mentioned frequently,there is a discussion going on in Rangan's blog where Kamal is being accused of being too old and fat to play a spy.
Of course normal accusations like he is the epitome of vanity,is narcissistic etc etc etc are also there.
Seems more than the film,his physical appearance and character are more important to those guys.
Interested people can barge in there.

AB,
They have a few valid points but not wrt this movie.
Physical action scenes except the transformation one are not the core of this film.It does not require a lot of running,climbing,jumping etc etc etc.Not much of gun fire too.Even the Afghan portions had more aircraft attacks.
Hand to hand combat is non existent.
So how agile Kamal is should not be the criterion.
Of course,heavy duty action will require the actors to convince the audience on the plausibility.
VR2 I guess will have more action and drama,appo paarkkalam.
This discussion now is a waste of time and plain prejudiced.

Today i happened to see it because our Maddy has posted a comment there and it appeared on my homepage. I did unfollow MP because a week was more than enough for me to figure that he is one of the biggest hypocrites and also one of these weird lots of writers who badly try to gain fame only by being 'negative' and saying something against the majority.

VR will win national awards in the following categories: (im not being hypothetical. This movie deserves it)
1.Best feature film
2.Best Director
3.Best popular film
4.Best Actor
5.Best Supporting Actor (RB)
6.Best Audiography
7.Best Choreography
8.Best Cinematography
9.Best Costume Design
10.Best screenplay
11.Best spl effects
12.Best male playpack singer-SM (unnai) or KH (anu)
13.Best Lyrics KH (anu)
14.Best art direction
Further it will most certainly be sent to Oscars as official entry in best foreign film category. If it is shortlisted it will be great achievement and if it wins..OOO LALALA.
NB: IMHO sir should release VR2 only next year (say Pongal) so that both VR1 and VR2 shall not compete among themselves in various awards.

On the work front, Kamal's Vishwaroopam is doing well...
I've been getting good feedback on the film. I'd gone for the audio launch in Madurai and experienced fan hysteria — there was a stampede there for Kamal. I kind of expected this, but it was the same in the US. Nobody expected Madurai reactions in California. However, I'd like to state that my role will be complete once you watch Vishwaroopam 2.

Vishwaroopam- Intellectually rich, technically sound
By Kannan Vijayakumar
Behindwoods.com isn't responsible for the views expressed by the visitor in this column. The visitor claims that this column is his/her own. If the column infringes any copyrights that you hold, please email us at columns@behindwoods.com.
Director: Kamal Hassan
Casts: Kamal Hassan, Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Rahul Bose
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Language: Tamil
Genre: Action
Novel attempts always face challenges. In that ironic fact, Vishwaroopam became the king of controversies due to the sensitive issues it has covered. With political pressures and certain societal disruptions, Kamal Hassan fought hard for the film to reach the audiences. But after the film has been released now, one could wonder whether this film deserved so much of problems and controversies. Now, to my review.
Synopsis
Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) sends a detective behind her husband, Vishwanath (Kamal Hassan) to discover possible affairs, so that she could easily ask for a divorce to start a life with her boss. However, little did she know about the shocking discoveries, which awaits her.
Story – Screenplay
Vishwaroopam is made in the core aim to entertain by presenting a visually exciting film by touching upon significant communal concerns. And it will never be an overrated statement to say that Kamal has passed with distinction. By moving the film in a non-linear way, Vishwaroopam has great placements of twists and pace. But that also means that it warrants close attention from the audiences as some of the sequences are crafted in a drift and miss manner.
The sensitivebackdrop of ‘war against terrorism’ has been handled blatantly and some facts that have been explored implant surprising knowledge in us. Even though some scenes might be disturbing, it has to be taken note that it is very close to reality. Most importantly, Kamal never deviates from the main plot but just uses the content and package it effectively to entertain.
Taken note of the sensitivity of the audiences, some of the dialogues carry hidden explicit content, which are left for the audience to explore. The stamp of Kamal is evident in every dialogue spoken by each character.
However, this film gives a sense of set up for a big pay off in the sequel. The only risk is that if the sequel does not get materialised, this film will end up pointless.
In overall, Kamal has given a well-researched content with believable characters, backed up with immense entertainment.
Casting & Performance
It is almost countless times we might have praised this veteran but he leaves us no choice by overpowering his previous performances each time he appears. Be it the feminine, elegant Kathak teacher or the vengeful gritty ‘warrior’, Kamal does it so convincingly. Watch out for the daredevil stunt sequences which he has performed boldly, showing no sign of his age.
Rahul Bose as the antagonist, Omar, impresses with his wrecked look and menacing voice. With his distinctive performance, he scores whenever he can.
Pooja Kumar comes up as a surprise package with a seasoned performance, not forgetting actress Abirami’s voice dubbing which is a major plus for her. Andrea does her very limited role well but we hope Vishwaroopam 2 awaits a meatier role for her.
Vishwaroopam contains tones of newcomers and everyone has been directed very well. Kamal has given an equal screen time for everyone focusing on each every character to bring out the story effectively.
Technicality
Technically Vishwaroopam offers lots of fresh visuals to Indian cinema. As always, Kamal brings in plenty of innovation in packaging his story.
Cinematographer Sanu Varghese has filmed the scenes in a very rich manner. He refrains from using any gimmicky angles and stamps high proficiency in every shot. Be it in the borders of Afghanistan or USA, he uses two different styles of movements in each segment.
Art Director Ilayaraja has brought the whole atmosphere of war and tension very realistically. He is definitely a main reason for us to get hooked from the first frame to the end.
Editor, Mahesh’s racy cuts have aided the non-linear storyline to unveil effectively. Watch out for the transition scenes at post interval which will makes us sit and notice the editor. Stunts and visual effects are very realistic which certainly raises the standards of Indian cinema technically.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music never fails to complement the rich events in the film; especially their BGM works wonders. Furthermore, sound editing of the film is really uplifting during the war scenes.
Kamal have brought in plenty of freshness in his treatment by working with uncommon names in Tamil cinema and have definitely worked big time.
Bottomline
With a focused screenplay and breath taking crafts of visual, Vishwaroopam is no doubt the most intelligent commercial entertainer of the decade.
Verdict:Intellectually rich, technically sound
Rating: 4/5

He has not posted a review. He is not just another person. Supposed to be a good writer (appadinnu solraanga), so he should come forward and write a proper review and justify why he did not like. And if he was really honest there was no need for him to delete the post of sakala. As a writer he is expected to be more responsible. Joe is very right in his comment. MP just wants to show he is neutral and he did not have any agenda when he spoke in favour of the release. Trying something to prove to his 'enemies' (those Islamic groups). But in my opinion even when he was defending the release of VR he was doing with an agenda and not with honesty. And that's precisely why I un-followed him. Originally Posted by Siv.S

Seems more than the film,his physical appearance and character are more important to those guys.

And now, off to Jackson Heights to see Kamal Hassan's long-delayed, controversial Vishwaroopam.
So. Vishwaroopam. It's a film that begins intriguingly, becomes gripping and thoughtful, and ends rather too neatly. But it's a real ride.
Any accusation of Islamophobia is ludicrous. Vishwaroopam is, in the end, about a Muslim superhero.
Hassan never fully resolves the tension between the film's artful/blockbuster tendencies. Sometimes that's thrilling, sometimes a drag.
Either way, Vishwaroopam deserves to be seen. It's wild and sincere.
Thank *** South Indian cinema has returned to Jackson Heights.
The stark, poetic Afghan sequences in Vishwaroopam are Hassan's real achievement. They force us to confront & empathize with jihadi.
I hope so, & hope Vishwaroopam 2 is as complex & thoughtful a thriller. Still, the dance scene was beautiful.
And who is this guy?

P_R,
Right to offend(within acceptable limits )is/should by all means be available to all.There should be no need to justify every thing.
Eg: I feel Sivaji is crap and Rajini's attempts at style (at which he is or is it was??? very good at)fell flat.Nobody has the right to ask me why I feel so,why should I not?
However,I am a nameless ,faceless creature on the www and my opinion on anything carry no weight.If, say, Kamal had expressed a similar opinion then it becomes imperative that he justify the same.
Thappu dhaan,avarukkkum solra urimai irukku but the fact that he is a peer,so-called-friend etc etc etc make's it hard for him to get away without justification.
The peril of being a celebrity is this.So if MP says something,that too so strong a word like "moonram thara kuppai"(hopefully Anban has not twisted it ),he should be prepared to take the backlash and questioning and nobody can ask why is he targetted.
All the above on the assumption that he meant what he wrote and there was no vested interest.

He can say whatever he wants and delete comments on his page - I don't see what the problem is.
It is not incumbent upon him to substantiate/elaborate and he has no responsibility to not delete comments and engage with conversations with all and sundry.
அவர் இதுவரைக்கும் எதுனா சினிமா விமர்சனம் எழுதியிருக்காரா - அவர் ரசனை அழகைத் தெரிஞ்சுக்கலாம்னு தான்.
மத்தபடி முன்முடிவு, agenda எல்லாம் attribute பண்ற அளவுக்கு அவரைப் பத்தி எனக்குத் தெரியாது.

There is no need to feel insecure here.

That was the reason no rajini fan should feel insecure about Rajini's box office capabilities. Originally Posted by Avadi to America

No problem Roshan we are all friends here at the end of the day. Bottom line is Kamal is getting the victory he totally deserves it and in fact he deserved much more for movies like Hey Ram and Anbe sivam. There is no denying fact there. I hope this movie gets released in Malaysia and middle east also before everyone watches in pirated dvd's. I really feel sorry for kamal on that aspect still. Originally Posted by Roshan

It's possibly the easiest thing for me to say, but I'll bite anyway - I think since you are in the US you feel the 'wave' a little less. Here people came out of the woodwork in a near unanimous sentiment regarding Kamal. It is not just us usual suspects. Folks (in work, social circle, friends) who have a superficially dismissive take on him - even they were feeling for him, feeling he was being done in. Inveterate downloaders are waiting to watch...I mean - it's huge.
The non-film reasons are significant and shouldn't be brushed aside.

Even out of sympathy/sentiments, people would not have watched the movie in theatres if VR is not good. If the movie is avg/bad, they still would prefer to watch Online/DVDs. VR simply not meant to be watched other than theatres due to its technical brilliance, people is aware of it due the hype/trailers/some good promos this time...

The gross injustice meted out to an artist received condemnation, sympathy and solidarity. Yes. This is not a personal one to one between individuals. This had a larger import
However, Thalaivan did not hijack this situation and instigate his fans against the perpetrator. He did not have his fans thrashed or see his film bite the dust. He never carried delusional elevated opinions of his "clout" unlike other stars. People supported him because they saw a lesson on character, integrity and crisis management being lived out in front of their eyes. They did not do that for insecure "stars" trying to bolster their image and further their non-starting political career.
A fan of the great actor Ajith mentioned the *interview* as being the biggest reason for this opening. Another dear hubber is offended that Kamal fans dare to touch the holiest of holies, Endhiran. How dare they!
And yeah, "Kamal does not deserve to leave, we have to save him, give alms to him for the next meal. We fans of other actor's are doing this charity to this sorry lower who also happens to be a decent artist". Yeah, we will not understand or pretend not to understand that losing his property or leaving the country was NOT a plea for help. It was a statement of fact, made in anger and sadness. It is NOT A FLOP he is talking about. He is just angry that he is illegally and unjustly prevented from showing his art to the public. He does not want your sympathy. He just wants a fair chance that's been given to others.
Sympathy has taken a few more to the theaters, a few more whistles but no amount of sympathy can force someone to like a film. Every time the release date was was announced, the advance booking has been tremendous. The WOM has been overwhelming.
The opening of Dasa was a statement till Endhiran came along. The Chennai opening of VV was a statement (as usual against many odds) till Sivaji came along.
It's obscenely funny how people try to project Viswaroopam as Thalaivan song first and only hit.
Ungalukku media propaganda (free and paid aggregation of perception) vandha adhu star worth hype (ratham/thakkaali chutney). Inni varaikkum Sify (for example) has not uttered a word on V's opening *rank* which every media house will do for every other actor's films, from Ajith to Jai Akarsh. Aana engakukku controversy vandhadhu mattum dhaan ungalaala project panna mudiyin.
You know what's worse than the injustice meted out by Selvi Jayalalidha? It's this attitude of reducing thus success to sympathy. This is the worst case scenario for Kamal Haasan, the artist.
You know who needs sympathy? You know who is in a physical, moral and artistic state warranting sympathy?
Virumaandi panjayath scene comes to mind.
P.S: Kamal's victory has already come before the film's success. He won decisively when J went to the press. He won emphatically when he came out if the negotiating table with only mutes (though art and democracy were raped that day)

There is no love lost between me and this forum and it is not right (both ways) or fair on my part to stay here
I just wanted to register this statement. This is an extraordinary situation, involving an extraordinary man and an emotionally draining time. I'm all for divergent opinions in spite of my infamous episodes.
However, What one should never tolerate is moral and intellectual dishonesty. Not done. Hence my post. Btw,saw some do gymnastics and synchronized swimming to justify Cho mama, J mami with suddenly new found love for Islamic causes.
Btw, 6 times and counting for me. It's a disjointed movie, leaves me wishing for more depth from Thalaivan. However, it gets better with each viewing, once I made peace with myself and looked at the film for what it's worth, what it's ambitions were and the constraints it was made under. Suffice to say that RABBANA is the anthem for me and my wife
Doc
I had initially booked tickets to India for Jan 11th release , then postponed and came to India on 24th, received the bad news from, Anban the moment I landed. Couldn't join them to Thirupathi as my father was'nt well, so India trip was a blank. V2 la kandippa sandhippon. Will call you before your trip

'Engeyum Eppodhum' Saravanan fights for Vishwaroopam
A dramatic event took place with the team of Ivan Vera Madhiri which stars Vikram Prabhu in the lead. The crew wrapped up their shoot for the day at a college on the IT Highway on OMR and while returning back into the city, the film’s director Saravanan, of Engeyum Eppodhum fame, and stunt choreographer Rajasekhar noticed a tempo traveler, that shuttles IT employees to nearby locales, screening Vishwaroopam inside the van.
The car carrying the director and the stunt man quickly pulled the van over to the side and pulled out the driver and gave him an earful for indulging in an act of piracy. The scenes created quite a stir in the neighborhood before the driver of the van realized his mistake and apologized. This incident should go down as yet another instance through which the industry has lent support to Vishwaroopam, and indirectly protected the industry’s welfare as well.

Idhula agenda, conspiracy mannangkatti ella onnum illa sir..Idhu onnum ulagai maathura vishayam illa..Its just a movie (same reason why the whole ban episode was absolutely ridiculous)..I had seen the visuals before I had seen the movie (including the trailer) and I saw nothing out of the ordinary that brought out the kind of responses that I have seen and heard..

And to say VR2 should be dropped if KH wants to survive is stuff.
As some of the other's have pointed out he has survived for 5 decades,don't think any one of us need to tell him how to survive and it's none of our business.That was a very condensing statement and hence elicited such responses.
You want to tell why you did not like the movie,go ahead or any discussions will be a waste of time.
There is no difference between your's and Manushyaputran's bland 'this is kuppai' one liner.

தான் மருத்துவராக ஆகவேண்டும் என்பது ஓமர் மகனின் விருப்பமாக இருப்பதை விஸாம் மதிக்கிறான். ஊக்குவிக்கிறான். அதே வேளையில் போரில் உறவுகளை இழந்து தவிக்கையில் ஓமர் "அல்லா இப்படியா என்னை சோதிக்க வெண்டும்!" என அழும்போது, "ஜிகாதிகள் ரத்தம்தான் சிந்தணும், அழக் கூடாது" என ஆறுதல் படுத்துகிறான்.
விஸாம் பாத்திரப்படைப்பை நான் புரிந்து கொண்டது..
போராளிகள் நியாயங்களுக்காக அரசுகளை எதிர்த்து போராடவேண்டும்.. ஆனால் பொதுமக்களுக்கு இன்னல் வராமல் பார்த்துக் கொள்ளனும். அது தன்னாட்டு மக்களாக இருந்தாலும், எதிரி நாட்டு மக்களாக இருந்தாலும் சரி. கட்டாயப்படுத்தி பொதுமக்களை போராளிகளாக மாற்றக் கூடாது. ஒரு போராளியின் மகன் கூட தன் வாழ்க்கைப் பாதையை தானே விரும்பியவாறு அமைத்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். போராளிகளின் அமைப்பு, ஆயுதங்கள் போன்றவை பொதுமக்களின் அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையில் ஒன்றொடு ஒன்றாக கலக்கக் கூடாது. தனிப்பட்டு தள்ளி நின்று இயங்கணும் என்றும் விரும்புகிறான்.

vishwaroopam's box office collections during weekdays
Generally, films releasing during the weekend will see the maximum occupancy only during the weekends and it will dwindle as the week progresses. But Vishwaroopam has changed this trend as well.
The theatres screeningVishwaroopam in Chennai and Madurai are running houseful shows even during the weekdays.
Most of the theatres are at least having 80 percent occupancy and the night shows are a definite 100 percent, states sources. The big opening and patronage for Vishwaroopam is the talk of the town now in Kollywood.

Vishwaroopam changes the fate....
Vishwaropam has changed the fate of several small theatres situated at the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. Several of these theatres were on the verge of closure for lack of patronage but Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam has changed it all.
When the TN government banned the film, people from Chennai, Coimbatore and those living in the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border made a beeline to these small theatres to watch the film. The result? Well, the theatres have collected a few lakh rupees we hear. Trade sources point out that the film has collected anywhere between 20 and 50 lakhs!This has given a new lease of life for the small theatres.

Sakala, though the theater count in advt is same, the number of screens allotted for VR this weekend(friday, sat & sun) in Chennai multiplexes will be approx 60% of the last week. ex - Abhirami mall - 28 shows last weekend (2 screens --> friday 8 shows; sat & sun - 20 shows), this time 12 only(1 screen fri - sun 3days X 4 shows), Devi - almost same case... PVR, INOX, Fame & Satyam also reduced # of screens. If all shows run full then the collection may be around 60 to 70% of the opening weekend... Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

இங்கே சில ரஜினி ரசிகர்கள் கமல் மேல் உள்ள அனுதாபத்தினால் படம் ஓடுகிறது,ரஜினி எல்லாம் 150 கோடி போட்டு படம் எடுத்தாலும் இப்படி பயப்படத் தேவை இல்லை என்று இங்கே கூவிக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறார்கள்.
1991க்கு முன்னால் ரஜினி மார்க்கெட் எப்படி இருந்தது அதற்கு அப்புறம் எப்படி மாறியது என்று இவர்களுக்கு தெரியவில்லை. டவுசர் போட்டு பள்ளிக்கு போய் கொண்டு இருந்து இருப்பார்களோ?
86ல் ரஜினி சொந்த தயாரிப்பில் முதன் முதலில் பிரம்மாண்டமாக எடுத்த படம் தான் மாவீரன்.
முதல் 70mm படம் என்று விளம்பரப் படுத்தினார்கள். ஆனால் படம் மிக மோசமான தோல்வியை தழுவியது. அப்பொழுது சாதாரணமாக வெளி வந்த புன்னகை மன்னன் வெற்றி பெற்றது.
அதே வருடம் கன்னட தயாரிப்பாளர் துவாரகீஷ் ஸ்ரீதேவியை அழைத்து வந்து நான் அடிமை இல்லை என்று பிரம்மாண்டமாக படம் எடுத்தார். அதுவும் மண்ணைக் கவ்வியது.
88ல் blood stone என்ற ஆங்கிலப் படத்தின் சென்னை உரிமையை நம்ம t.ராஜேந்தர் தான் வாங்கினார். படம் 1 வாரம் தான் ஓடியது. ரஜினி ரசிகர்கள் மட்டும் பார்த்து இருந்தால் கூட 50 நாட்கள் ஒடி இருக்கணுமே. என் பணம் போச்சே என்று புலம்பினார்.
பாலு மகேந்திராவுடன் நடித்த உன் கண்ணில் நீர் வழிந்தால் படமும் மண்ணைக் கவ்வியது.
பாரதி ராஜவுடன் 12 வருடங்கள் கழித்து இணைந்த படமும் மண்ணைக் கவ்வியது.
உச்சக் கட்டமாக 1991ல் கன்னட தயாரிப்பாளர் வீராசாமி(படிக்காதவன் தயாரிப்பாளர்) அதிக பொருட் செலவில் நாட்டுக்கொரு நல்லவன் படம் எடுத்தார். ரஜினியின் திரை பட வரலாற்றில் அந்த மாதிரி எந்த படமும் தோல்வியை சந்தித்தது இல்லை. B&cல் 10 நாளில் படத்தை தூக்கி எறிந்தனர். வீராசாமியும் மாரடைப்பில் போய் சேர்ந்து விட்டார்.
அதற்கு அப்புறம் தான் ஜெயலலிதா ரூபத்தில் ரஜினிக்கு அதிர்ஷ்டக்காற்று அடிக்க ஆரம்பித்தது.

பின்னர் தமிழக அரசு மேற்பார்வையில் முத்தரப்பு பேச்சுவார்த்தை(!) ஆரம்பிக்கும் முன் ”30 நிமிட காட்சிகள் வெட்ட வேண்டும்”.
முதல் நாள் பேச்சு வார்த்தையில் ”14 காட்சிகள் (20 நிமிடங்கள்?) வெட்ட வேண்டும்”.
இரண்டாவது நாள் கமல் கலந்த கொண்ட பேச்சு வார்த்தை முடிவில் ”7 காட்சிகள் வெட்ட இரு தரப்பும் ஒப்புக்கொண்டோம்”. இதே முடிவை கமல் ”ஒலிக்குறிப்பை நீக்க” (ஒளி?) என்கிறார்.
ஆக முழுப்படம் என்பதில் இருந்து வெகு சில இடங்கள் என்ற அளவிற்கு இறங்கி வந்திருக்கிறார்கள். இது எப்படி நடந்தது? அரசியல் ஒருபக்கம் இருக்கட்டும். வேறு விதமாகப் பார்த்தால், திடீரென்று படம் (90+%) இஸ்லாமிய விரோதமில்லாமல் ஆகிவிட்டதா? அப்படியென்றால் இவர்கள் புரிதல் அந்தளவிற்கு அபாரமானதா!? கமல் மற்றும் பலர் மற்றும் ஊடகங்கள் இதை விளக்கிச் சொல்ல, அப்புறமாவது இவர்களால் புரிய முடிகிறது என்று எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாமா?
இல்லை இவர்களுக்கு சகிப்புத்தன்மை கூடிவிட்டதா?. கமல் மற்றும் பலர் மற்றும் ஊடகங்கள் இதை விளக்கிச் சொன்னதனால் கூடிவிட்டது என்று எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாமா?
வீரத்தின் உச்சம் அகிம்சை என்று காந்தியின் பாதையை எடுக்கிறார் கமல். வெறும் உண்ணாவிரதம் மட்டும் காந்திய வழி அல்ல, எதிராளியின் இதயத்தில் ஊடுருவி அவனை அசைத்துப்பார்ப்பதே உண்மையான காந்தியம். அந்த வகையில் கமல் எதிராளிகளை தொட்டு சில காட்சிகள் (ஒலி?) நீக்கத்தோடு விவகாரத்தை முடித்துவிட்டார் என்றே கருதுகிறேன்.
கமல், 24 இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்புகள், த.அரசு என்று முத்தரப்பு கோதாவில் த.அரசின் பெயர் இந்திய அளவில் கெட்டுவிட்டது? 24 இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்புகளால் பொதுவில் இவர்கள் சகிப்புத்தன்மையற்ற மூர்க்கவாதிகள் என்று பெயர் வந்துவிட்டது, கமலின் உருவம் விஸ்வரூபம் எடுத்துவிட்டடது. எனவே வெற்றி கமலுக்கே!.

In the TV clipping where Obama speaks about Osama's death...following doubts/questions arise. Not sure if this has been discussed before.
1) Is that clipping the real (archived) one that KH used?
2) The scroll in the video displays petrol hike by 3% and world alert. Someone in the hub and in other forums (FB) also tried to relate these together.
3) If the clipping was real, then the scroll messages (pertrol hike and world alert) should also be real and the film has nothing to do with it.
4) If the clipping itself is a CG work, then is it correct to directly quote/show Obama as saying something related to Obama's death? If Obama sees this movie and if it's indeed a CG work, will he not take offence?

Interestingly... in the Hindi version,when Salim records the video about the 'dirty bomb'...he starts of by saying 'La Ilaha Ill Allah Muhammadur Rasool Allah' and then goes to on make a reference about Kaffirs, Shaitans and other enemies of God, which I found missing in Tamil... But even this direct reference in the Hindi version, did not provoke any protests or violence in North India...which made the case of the Tamil groups...a bit weak.

தளபதி படம் வெளியானபோது திருச்சியில் ரஜினி ரசிகர்கள் வருங்கால முதல்வர் என்று போஸ்டர் ஒட்டினார்கள்(நேற்று கருணநிதி,இன்று ஜெயலலிதா, நாளை ரஜினி).ஜெயலலிதாவுக்கு கோபம் வந்து போஸ்டரை எல்லாம் கிழித்து சம்பந்தப்பட்ட ரஜினி ரசிகர்கள் போலீசால் அடித்து,துவைத்து ஜெயிலில் தள்ளினார்.
நக்கீரன்,ஜுனியர் விகடன் பத்திரிக்கைகள் விஷயத்தை அம்பலப் படுத்த ரஜினி ரசிகர்கள் தமிழகம் முழுவதும் ஜெயலலிதாவின் கொடும்பாவியை எரிக்க ஆரம்பத்தினர். ரஜினியும் மன்னன் படத்தின் மூலம் டயலாக் பேச ஆரம்பித்து விட்டார்.
பத்திரிக்கைகளும் ரஜினியும் அரசியலுக்கு வரப்போகிறார் என கொம்பு சீவ அரம்பித்து விட்டது. இதனால் மன்னன் படமும் அண்ணாமலை படமும் வெற்றி பெற்றது. ஆனால் அடுத்து வந்த பாண்டியன் படம் தோல்வியை தழுவியது.

Kamal Haasan records Ilayaraja's tune at 30-minute's notice
There seem to be no full stops or even punctuation marks in the career of the amazing Kamal Haasan. Barely have the controversies surrounding his new release Vishwaroopam died down, when one hears of the maverick artist jumping in where no other artist would dare.
Kamal Haasan has sung a song for composing maestro Ilayaraja -- and that too at just half-an-hour's notice after the singer assigned the job of singing the intricate composition couldn't rise to the occasion.
"Get me Kamal on the phone," Ilayaraja commanded his assistant. Within an hour Kamal reached the recording studio in Chennai and in half-an-hour the 'ditty' deed was done.
The song is for the Pankaj Kapoor-starrer Happi, which is a tribute to Charlie Chaplin -- and Kamal is a diehard Chaplin fan. The Tamil genius has paid heartfelt tributes to Chaplin in films like Pushpak and Sagar.
Said director Bhavna Talwar: "It all happened in a flash. We were in Chennai to record this amazing composition titled Zindagi Dish written by Jaideep Sahni. Raja sir (Ilayaraja) was not getting what he wanted. The singer, who was assigned to do the job, wasn't getting it right. Raja sir asked his assistant to contact Kamalji. Within no time Kamalji was in the studio. It took him half an hour to record the song."
When contacted, Kamal brushed off the feat as part of just another day's work.
"My respect for certain people goes beyond the work place. Shivaji Ganesan, K. Balachander and Ilayaraja are to me, idols. And if they call, I run. As simple as that," said Kamal Haasan.
The multi-faceted artist lets out an interesting self-observation.
"Somehow I find it much easier to connect with male artists. If you see the Kathak performance in Vishwaroopam, you'd see how closely I've observed and imbibed Pandit Birju Maharaj's style. This wouldn't have been possible with a female dancer. Likwise in music, though I deeply admire M.S. Subbulakshmi, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, it's (Mangalampalli) Balamuralikrishna that I idolise," he said.

Excellent question. But as a Tamilan I was very much interested on Pandora, a densely forested habitable moon orbiting the gas giant Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri star system, rather than the cruelty towards 1/2 of the race I belong to. I teared for the blue people rather than for the suffering in neighbouring Taliban or rest of the world. Ignorant Kamal should have thought in these lines rather than following blindly the foot steps of Oliver Stone and other marvelous creators from Planet Hollywood & impress America.
An influential review from a person who sticks his head into the ground and complaining its dark. He has the right to do and say so, but we dont have the right to be judgemental. Some objective driven person stick on to their objective - being a pain in the worng place.

But this cannot be denied. Vishwaroopam is further proof that Kamal Haasan is much more interesting, these days, as a writer-director than as an actor (he gives a typically solid performance; it’s just that, given the span of his career, we’ve seen it all before) – and the film’s finest stretch takes place in a jihadi settlement in Afghanistan, with the portions in Pashto subtitled in Tamil. - I meantioned something similar in my review too.

2. despite the crackdown on money laundering operations that were fueling terror cells post 9/11, there has not been much success in curtailing Saudi oil money funding these madraasas. IMHO, unless moderate muslims in Pakistan come out very strongly - which I think is getting unlikelier by the day - the radicals will overrun the country with the help of saudi money and wahabbism - Pakistan is slowly imploding this way.
there is no way Kamal can show some of the above in a 2 and half hr film - but if you look at the script carefully, the characters in the film etc can give us clues / hints at what to look for and do some research outside the movie hall!

Kamal’s Vishwaroopam 2 ready?
ByLata Srinivasan, TNN | Feb 16, 2013, 09.53 AM IST
Looks like the second part of the Ulaganayagan's magnum opus is nearing completion. According to his spokesperson, the shooting for Vishwaroopam 2 will be completed over the next 15 days.
So when will the movie be ready for release? "That Kamal sir will decide. After the shooting is complete, the post-production work still needs to be done," he says.
Other sources say that since Kamal had already planned part 2 before the movie's release, he had shot for portions of it earlier. The original cast of Kamal, Pooja Kumar, Andrea and Rahul Bose will appear in part 2. However, at this point, no one knows if new characters have been introduced in the thriller flick as Kamal is keeping the cards close to his chest.

VISHWAROOPAM 2 - THE UNKNOWN FACTS
It is known that Kamal's next releaseis Vishwaroopam-2 and the film will be releasing by this year end. But sources say that while shooting for Vishwaroopam Kamal didn't have any plans for sequel. But when he came to know that his full script takes more than 3.5 hours running time, he decided to make it into two parts. Kamal even revealed this in his recent interview, now we also heard that Kamal has already finished the major portions of the movie and only few days of shoot is left.
Once Kamal finishes the remaing shoot , he would be watching the rushes and will decide whether to go for post- production or incorporate some changes to suit the expectation created by Vishwaroopam. Stay tuned for more updates.

sakala,
All buruda.
He has made it clear that only 10 % has been shot.Now that expectations are sky high,better to ensure it's a worthy sequel.
Naanga Pesina maadhiri,he has to ensure that there is no overselling of VR 2 just because people are very keen to buy it.

mmm yes, atleast 50% of shoot shud be remaining. He said he shot difficult portions which means the Afghan and US portions. Seems he did some shoots in Mumbai too which appears in the end bit trailer. Also we don't know if songs are already composed and shot or not.. given VR2 has lomaans, surely one song for them is assured. Originally Posted by Cinefan

I'm not sure whether this has been shared here. But anyways let me write this.
The first fight is heavily inspired from Sherlock Holmes fight of running things from his mind on how to attack an enemy. Here(VR) we would experience from a 2nd person point of view(Pooja) and we see the fast-mo first and slow-mo second whereas in SH You would see the opposite both experienced by the first person (Holmes) himself. Kamal quite cleverly made us experience it from 2 ppl's POV.

Very very difficult to call this a heavy inspiration,prob can claim hypothetically that this scene gave Kamal an idea,that's all.

AN HOUR WITH HAASAN
Some days are hectic, some days are relaxed, some are routine and some are special. This was one of those normal days to catch up with a friend of mine over a Mallu special meal at Ente Keralam until a call came while I was half way through lunch. The voice on the other side came from the COO of Raj TV Mrs. Mala Manian asking if I'd be free in the next hour to interview Mr. Kamal. My friend sitting opposite to me noticed that I'd dropped the rice from my hand back into the plantain leaf and was intently looking at me wondering if everything was ok. Except what I heard was nowhere close to ok but the best thing that could've happened on an otherwise uneventful day when her answer was affirmative to my clarifying question... "As in interview Mr. Kamal Haasan"? She said "Yes. Mr. Haasan himself. One hour from now. Viswaroopam special". When such opportunities come, there are no two answers except a fully willing and resounding 'yes'. I cut short my elaborate meal, asked for the cheque and hastened back home to change my outfit, freshen up and prepare myself mentally for interviewing the artist who continues to inspire millions of artists and fans across the world.
My shooting days of 'Unnaipol Oruvan' and my interactions with the iconic actor came gushing back as I was driving to his office at Eldams Road. I also made use of the driving time to quickly call my good friend and popular anchor Bhavna Balakrishnan and asked her the few things that need to be borne in mind while doing an interview because there was one rider to this whole thing. I had never interviewed any personality in my life before for any media house or publication. And my very first one happened to be none other than Kamal Sir. Much as I've met, interacted and worked in his 50th year film, the combination of excitement and nervousness to interview an astoundingly gifted artist in such short notice was overpowering my otherwise confident self. But that's the challenge that lay ahead of me and I wouldn't have traded anything else in the world for this hour.
I reached the big black entrance gate, my car key was handed over to the security guard, I waited inside along with the crew and discussed the flow of questions that had to be asked and the wait seemed like we were expecting a celestial being to descend down the stairs from first floor. Fifteen minutes later when I saw a hint of the perky yellow shirt and sand-colored trousers with his face being revealed gradually as he came down the stairs, it seemed like the sun making a grand entry and his mere presence lighting up the whole place. My eyes were fixed on this larger-than-life persona and when he acknowledged my presence with that warm look in his eyes, a slight welcoming nod and a smile that comes when you see a familiar person, I knew I could pull this off. We quickly settled down, cameras rolled and before I knew it, my round of questions had already begun. The first thing about any interview is to make the interviewee comfortable enough in the first few minutes itself so that the rest of the questions can extract as much details as possible. I started off on a light note quoting a dialogue from one of his films 'Panchathanthiram' where he tells his on-screen father-in-law as played by Mr. Nagesh... "Kelvi kaykkarathu romba easy, aanaa bathil solrathu romba kashtam." He loosened up immediately with a wide smile when I told him that I've the easier job to do today. But there was a complete role reversal of sorts here because the person who was being interviewed is the widely read and extensively knowledgeable Kamal Sir who made the interviewer comfortable by patiently listening to my queries, without cutting me anywhere and chatting as if this was a one-to-one conversation minus any cameras and crew.
I don't need to elaborate about Kamal, the visionary artist and his glorious achievements in the world of films. The whole world knows it and I wouldn't be telling anything new. But the difference that he brings to the table when he gives one hour of his precious time and viewpoints to an ardent fan is absolutely enriching. It leaves you wanting for more of his time, more of his answers, more of his knowledge, more of him and any amount would still not be enough and everyone wants a piece of his time. The questions don't have to be discussed with him prior to the take obviously because he's been in the business long enough to handle anything at all but when he does answer, his clarity of thoughts, his construction of sentences and his child-like enthusiasm in his eyes when talks about his work automatically transports you to his world of films. Sometimes you can get so lost in what he says and become oblivious of the fact that you're in the middle of interviewing him that you'll even forget what you have to ask next. His command over whichever language he chooses to speak is so impeccable that it can put any formally educated scholar to shame. When he speaks Tamizh, there is no mincing of English words in between and vice versa.
By the fag end of the interview, there was a short power cut before the back-up generators could take over for the lights in that room. I was well aware that he had a lot more channels waiting in line back-to-back for his interview and the very same night, he was leaving the country to promote Viswaroopam's release in the US. I sensed his urgency and requested for 10 more minutes and he politely obliged. Einstein's theory of relativity kicked in when the waiting time of a few minutes to meet him again after a long time seemed like a few hours and that one hour with Kamal Sir seemed like one minute. Let alone one hour or one day, even one lifetime is not enough to imbibe, absorb and take in as much of his knowledge, triumphs, experiments and discuss his repertoire of work. But it was time to thank him, take leave after a brief photo session and wish him luck with his extravagant production. He belongs after all to the entire world of arts that it would be most befitting to describe this star with a middle name... Kamal 'Kalai' Haasan'.

Not really. SH fight scene, suituation, need, technique and choreography is completely different than VR. The only far fetched similarity is the pre-visualisation. But Again, pré-visulisation was the technique taken by Kamal throughout the movie to go back and forward in time. Originally Posted by ajithfederer

SH Fight : Its a pure technical fight sequence at the Punch Browl choreograghed by Richard Ryan. The situation was to bringout the sharpness of SH at any given circumstance. SH evaluates his victory-lose chances and its formulated a split-second before he goes into action. High speed Phanthom Camera were used to see each impact as the strike lands. Its spiritual - focusing mind, body and spirit to overcome a problem.
VR : During the Warehouse fight, the moment gave us the reflection of the key character element of Wiz. On the same occasion we see the discovery of Anupama and the visualises are in slow-mo and presented in an artistic way - relate it to the Kathak dance [now thats completely another topic]. the suituation is circumstancial and nothing was evaluated.
Futher, any movie maker is and will be inspired by a previous work - no denial. Eventhough the story and script to the screen is original, while drawing the story-board each one seems to bend a bit, either is appreciation, homage or simply for technical reasons. Now Frame-to-Frame similirarity is something entirely different, locally called as "copy".

According to Kamal, the total runtime of his story to visuals is about 270 minutes. My take is that, the portions like : Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

would have been shot. You need a sincere and talented asst. and excutive producers to carry it out.
Rest would be the indoor shots which could be taken in a studio involving takie portions & post-production works involving what you had mentioned.
Unless Kamal comes out and tells the percentage we wont know.

Sudish Kamath
GOOD QUESTIONS, GREAT ANSWERS
During a quick visit to Chennai for The Hindu Lit for Life, actor Rahul Bose spoke candidly on Vishwaroopam, the sequel and his plans for the year. Excerpts from the interview.
How does it feel for an arthouse superstar to be a part of a film that’s already grossed over 100 crores?
Quite a rush. A thrill. I can’t claim to have contributed even one rupee to the box office collections because it’s a Kamal Haasan film. But it feels like one of those random thrills that you can do without in your life but when they happen, they just feel... sort of weird and kind of cool.
When you were first approached, did you know you would be sharing almost equal amount of screen time with Kamal Haasan?
Sure. Why would I say yes to it otherwise? I can’t just do a film for working with a superstar. I still have to do something in it.
When you were playing a one-eyed terrorist in the film, was the disability used as some kind of a metaphor for him being able to see only one side or were you just playing a Bond villain type?
It was just a villain kind of thing. (thinks hard) I have seen Vishwaroop and I don’t think there’s any second layer to be searched for in that movie.
So when you are feeding the pigeon filth from your mouth, pigeons are not a metaphor for peace loving Muslims?
That’s not even in the script. Mr. Haasan said I just want you sitting here. He didn’t tell me what to do. It was not even something we decided at the last (moment)... I just did something. I didn’t even think about it. We are better served not to look at any second layer of Vishwaroop.
How satisfying has it been doing a film that has no second layer then?
It was an interesting character, but let’s face it, I wouldn’t say that you are hamming... but there’s a very thin line between a naturalistic actor and being a villain in an action film. You have to play it a certain way for it to play in an action film. If you are going to play an internal introspective (character)... and hoping that your menace will come through subliminally, you are sadly mistaken. The genre is very “hit the audience on the head with a hammer”. So in that respect, it is less satisfying than doing arthouse cinema. It’s as much work but less satisfying but the thrills are to do wirework, computer graphics and green screen work, to do guns... it’s just a momentary thrill.
But again, it wasn’t entirely a Bond villain type, there was a human side to him.
That’s in the writing. Credit for that goes to Mr. Haasan.
So are you part of Vishwaroopam 2?
I haven’t spoken to Mr. Haasan for six months. I am not in touch with him at all. So I have no clue.
There were reports that the film has only a schedule of shoot left?
I will decide on the sequel like I decide everything else. I will see the script and will see if I want to be a part of it.
Let’s talk about your arthouse films. What are you excited about next?
After Midnight’s Children... I am making Moth Smoke, I am directing it in the fall of this year. It’s a book written by Mohsin Hamid, Pakistani writer. I have started the production part of the prep. So., in fact, I won’t be in a film for a year. I am not doing anything. Unless I get something quickly now. I am free till about June.
You’ve been the superstar of Indian English cinema for a long time now. Why hasn’t it taken off?
It’s dead. Indian English cinema is dead. Economics. Audience. It has to be made within Rs. 65 lakhs to a crore. You can’t make a film with that money.
So you are not making Moth Smoke in English?
I am. But I am not somebody who follows sense. I am making it. But that’s because the film is in English. It’s about upscale, upper class Pakistanis in Lahore.
After being part of a 100 crore film, don’t you want your stories to reach out to more people?
No. If it means compromising the story, absolutely not. If it means compromising the language, absolutely not. We’ve seen a whole decade of cinema coming out of Hindi cinema which should have been in English. People studying in posh boarding schools... they should be talking in English. I might do it as an actor but as a director, absolutely never. I am least interested in increasing my fame. Sequel to Jhankaar Beats, sequel to Pyaar Ke Side Effects... of course, Farhan and Vidya are doing that... You do sequels because you want to consolidate your audience, I am least interested in doing that. I would rather consolidate in the next thrill, in the next challenge, in the next failure.
Financially, are you able to afford those risks?
I have never bothered about money because I have always had it.
As long as the commercial roles keep coming, the ones you do for money?
I don’t think I have done anything for money for a long, long, long, long, long time. Vishwaroop I did because it was a combination of reasons. The action film genre, the role and working with one of the finest actor/directors in the country contributed to me saying Yes. This is my 20th year in cinema. It’s not that I’ve only been offered only beautiful, luminous roles in arthouse movies. A career is defined more by what you say No to than what you say Yes to.

Rahul's interview:
Is it so good?? He says not to look for anything more than that meets the eye in Vishwaropp? is that first an injustice to the film/Kamal?
Even the last answer [I don’t think I have done anything for money for a long, long, long, long, long time. Vishwaroop I did because it was a combination of reasons.] was like putting the movie down to ordinary in my understanding of it..

Syriana like films will not run. It's not that it cannot be taken, If taken by Kamal, it will not run. In fact Kamal is stuck in a certain band/range where there is a need for a transformation scene as well as a detailed analysis of the Afghan issue, all packaged within a single movie. It is a difficult balance. That he has largely succeeded is the larger point. Dasa ia also an example of this although it was more disjointed. Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

I don't think he is trying to put it down as much as being open and candid. This is the first time I have seen him speak about the movie in such detail. This is his understanding -- that one need not go looking for too many layers. He may also be implying that muslims need not feel offended looking for some hidden meaning. Originally Posted by hamid
That said, I have a sneaky feeling that he may not be in great terms with KH. He has not been involved in any official promo (Shekar Kapur, Jaideep, Samrat were there but not Rahul). Looking at his twitter msgs, it seemed as though he did not even know about the premier in LA. Just connecting some (unwanted) dots

I am also confident that he would do the second part. And avaru nethu vantha payalum illa. He's been there in the industry for 20 years, which is no mean feat.

brace yourself - not for the timid and faint-hearted:
".....five fighters were chosen for the honor of slitting Russian throats. He was the fifth and wasnt sure whether he had been picked at random or as a test because he was American...he only knew he couldnt refuse..backing out wudnt save the Russian's life, but it would end his own..yet how could he kill an unarmed prisoner ? the prisoners were lined up, the camera set, the executioners pulled on gloves and a mask...after a long speech by the leader, the slaughter began..instead of the fighters (jihadis) turning away in disgust, a hum went through them, as they edged closer so they wudnt miss the show.. when his turn came, no angel appeared with horn or ram, but a single word, his own conscience told him 'DONT', which increased every passing second, you dont even know his name, this Russian wud die tonight for the crime of surrendering to an enemy that took no prisoners..as the jihadis jeered in four languages including pashto, a rock gashed the soldiers cheek, cutting his throat would be a mercy..else he would be stoned, stomped, torn limb from limb..he (the American spy) dug the tip of the scythe deep into the man's throat and sliced and as the blood gushed, the Russian screamed..the scream maddened the spy, who almost tore the head off the neck and went on cutting until the Russian's head flopped loose on its neck..the other jihadis gathered around him and cheered..the leader took the spy's by the wrist and raised his arm high as if he had won a prizefight..the spy thought he might go mad, and said "Allahu Akbar"..but he had never felt more distant from God..those nine seconds to make a living man dead, would live with him forever.."
thats an excerpt from the MOST RECENT book of Alex Berenson "The Night Ranger" - VR's script was written at least a year and half before this book came out.
the point is, such things have been so commonplace in Afghanistan's recent history, not to show them in a film involving Afghanistan will be like not mentioning jallikkattu when talking abt madurai/theni areas.
and the morons who complained abt VR's anti-islam tint, need to be shipped to Kabul and its surrounding areas for some lessons in reality.

This writer has thought in the lines of Kamal! See this!
This also reminds me of an old blog post of mine called ‘Osama: Gandhi with a Gun!’, where I draw parallels between Osama bin Laden and Mahatma Gandhi. If you have the time I suggest you read that before assuming things reading the title alone.

VISHWAROOPAM BOX OFFICE : NETTED 100 CRORES
After the first weekend box office prediction of Vishwaroopam, here is the second week world wide box office report of the film. Finally Vishwaroopam netted 100 crores and only the second Tamil film to do so which is very rare in Kollywood. Vishwaroopam also become the second highest grosser for a Tamil film as of now and broke the records of Sivaji and Thuppakki. Here is the detailed report of our box office prediction.
Tamil Nadu Gross : 80crores (10days )
Andhra Pradesh Gross: 22.5 crores (23 days)
Kerala and Karnatka Gross : 12.5 crores
North India Gross: 22 crores
Overseas Gross :15crores
Note:
Total Theatrical Gross : 152 crores
Nett : 105 crores
Share: 85 crores
Total earning as of 16-02-2013 to RKFI is 85crores+ 20crores Satellite rights =105 crores
Profit: Earning - Budget = 105-95= 10 crores.
Cinemalead's Prediction:
The film is holding strong in Tamil nadu box office and one could expect a decent Box office report in the coming week but all other areas like Andhra,Overseas and North India showed a decent drop as the film completes 23 days run. We at cinemalead is expecting another 10-20 crores profit from Tamilnadu theatricals.
Note:
The film's North India and Telugu satellite rights was not taken into the account as we don't even have any approximate figures on that. similarly the film has to release on Dubai,Malaysia and also DTH,DVD revnues are to be added.
*These are the approximated prediction of cinemalead, original figures may vary..

Kamal gets the lion share
http://www.accesskollywood.com/akd-i...n-16-02-13.jpg
Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam released with no competition on February 7th and garnered the maximum profit at the box office with movie buffs thronging the theatres to watch the film. But during its second week at the box office, Vishwaroopam had competition in the form of Sillunu Oru Sandhippu, Vana Yuddham and ABCD.
Despite the competition, Vishwaroopam has managed to garner the lion share at the box office. Trade reports suggest that the film has collected 85 percent of the collections at the box office in Tamil Nadu indicating that it still rules the roost.

This guy Madhu Sudhanan had worked in many Hollywood films like Lord Of The Rings, Spider-Man 3, Click, In Time, Gulliver's Travels, The Host etc! He recieved National Award for Aalavandaan. Heard that Kamal sir likes him a lot for his technical abilities and skills! Since I was part of a studio that worked on Vishwaroopam under Mr.Madhu's creative guidance it was a huge difference how he had designed the shots and he was very demanding to make sure no CG work was visible in the screen! For your information the film was shot against green screens at Sathyabama College in Chennai and the background was shot in Jordan. Madhu designed the shots to make it completely realistic! The set had about dozen of houses. The entire landscape and action pieces were entirely visual effects. The choppers were combination of real, miniatures and CG. We were told even the US portions were partly shot in Chennai and Grand Rapids in Michigan and Madhu had converted that into look like New York! Awesome!!! Atleast here is one film which could match visual effects in every possible way to Hollywood standards and done so nicely and believably! Hats off Madhu sir ..!

We usually say a good visual effects always treated as amazing cinematography! How true this is as when we industry guys read the reviews of Vishwaroopam in various media and blogs, no one noticed visual effects!!! Since I was part of couple of dozen shots in the film I could say so authentically. Visual effects in our country recognized only when it is visible like Enthiran or Ra One or Eega. Am not saying they are bad but my point is doing invisible visual effects and make people not to get distracted from story is typical Hollywood mantra! It's like a titanic vs Terminator!

Saw the movie on Saturday in a packed house. Shocking that this film passed with an U/A certificate. Kamal was cool in initial portions. Glad that Pooja was not annoying as Asin. I saw more of "Kamal" than Vishwanath in certain portions. May be because of the his so called rational karuththukkal. Kamal looked suspicious throughout the Afgan portion. Rahul and Jaideep did their job neatly. They were more convincing. And Andrea, why? Over all technically well made action film. Looking forward to VR 2 to connect the dots.

True ! When you talk about 'invisible' visuals, am reminded of the Visual Effects work in Forrest Gump. The DVD I own for this movie has a special feature that elaborates the visual effects work in this film and it was really inspiring. And Forrest Gump is a movie made in early 90s. IIRC, the movie won an Oscar for Visual Effects. Originally Posted by Supe

He could have given more importance to that like he gave for every other shot.

Not sure if I entirely agree.....SH visualizes (thinks aloud) the entire sequence before hand , anticipating his opponents moves and his counter-movies...all in a few seconds...and then goes on to fight...
In VR, the intention of the slo-mo was for the audience's benefit...who are as bewildered as Nirupama...to explain what exactly happened in those few seconds... (the precision and deadliness of the attack).. A kind of reverse SH fight (without any technical voice over) ... I believe that the VR sequence was not inspired by SH at all...

அபூர்வ சகோதர்கள் படத்தில் அப்பு கமல் பளிங்கு கல்லை ஒரு தொடர் சாதனத்தில் ஓடவிட்டு கடைசியில் அது டெல்லிகணேஷை அம்புகளை எய்து கொள்வது போல காட்சி. அதுபோலவே விஸ்வரூபம் படமும்.. ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியும் அடுத்து வருகிற காட்சியை ஒன்றையொன்று நகர்த்தி முன்னெடுத்து சென்று கொண்டெ இருக்கும்போது இடைவேளை வந்துவிடுகிறது. இப்படியொரு படைப்பை பாடல்கள், சண்டைகள், நகைச்சுவை காட்சிகள் என திணிக்காமல் முழுக்க முழுக்க கருவிற்கு தேவையான கதை நகர்வு விஸ்வரூபம்.
சிலக் காட்சிகள் எல்லாம் கமல் வைத்திருக்கவே தேவையில்லை. அது இல்லாமல் இருந்திருந்தாலும் திரைக்கதைக்கு ஒரு பாதிப்பும் வந்துவிடாது. இருந்தாலும் ஒரு தொடர்ச்சி இருக்கவெண்டும் என நம்பகத் தன்மையை திணிக்காமல் அழகாக இணைத்து விடுகிறார். உதாரணத்திற்கு ஓமர் தனது மகனுக்கு கண்ணில் துணியைக் கட்டி துப்பாக்கி ரவைகளை கணிக்கவிடும் காட்சி. அந்த இடத்தை மட்டுமே கேமரா காட்சிப் படுத்திவிட்டு அதற்கு அடுத்த காட்சிக்கு தாவியிருக்கலாம். ஆனால் அதற்குள் ஒமரின் மனைவி ரொட்டிகளை சுட்டு அடுக்குவது போலவும், ஆங்கிலம் சொல்லிக்கொடுக்கும் இளைஞன் அவரிடம் இந்த கண்கட்டி விளையாட்டை காட்டிவிடுவதாகவும் காட்சிப் படுத்திருப்பார். .. குறுகிய நேரத்தில் முடிந்தவரை எல்லாவற்றையும் பதித்து விடும் கமல் என்ற படைப்பாளியை பாராட்டாமல் இருக்கவே முடியாது.
அதிவேக துப்பாக்கிகளின் வேலைப்பாடுகளை பட்டவர்த்தனமாக நமக்கெல்லாம் நம் சினிமாவில் அறிமுகப்படுத்திய பெருமை கமலுக்கே. ஹேராம் படத்தில் டெல்லி கணேஷ் கூட்டணிகளை சுடும்போது அந்த ரவைகள் மனிதர்களை பின்னுக்கு அடித்துச் செல்லும் வேகமே பிரமிக்க வைக்கும். காந்தியும் இதுபோலவே தூக்கியெறியப்படுவார். விஸ்வரூபத்தில் ஃபரூக் ஆட்களை மோதி சாய்க்கும்போது கூட அதுபோன்ற காட்சிகள். ஃபரூக் வயிற்றிலிருந்து சொருகப்பட்ட நீள் கத்தியை பிடுங்கித் திரும்பும்போது எதிர்வரும் ஒருவனை விஸாம் சுட்டுத்தள்ள , அவன் வந்தவேகத்தில் திரும்பச் செல்வது அதகளம். இதுதான் ஏனைய இந்திய இயக்குனர்களிடத்திலிருந்து கமலை வேறுபடுத்திக் காட்டுகிறது.

At last....
http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/cat...light-finally/
PETALING JAYA: After a hiatus of three weeks, the Censorship Board today finally gave the green light to screen Vishwaroopam with immediate effect.
“Islamic Development Department (Jakim’s) director general has agreed with the Home Ministry on screening the movie after they were satisfied with the cuts done by the Censorship Board.
“The approval is given with the condition that the distributor agrees with additional cuts to the movie.
“The rescind on the suspension of the movie is effective from today,” said Censorship Board chairman Raja Azahar Raja Abdul Manap in a statement today.
Vishwaroopam, a Kamal Haasan spy-thriller was first screened on Jan 25. However it was suspended the following day due to opposition from Indian Muslim groups that claimed the movie was insensitive to the feelings of the Muslims.

There is a utube video where Manobala apologies for signing the bouquet along with Director association members against Kamal on FEFSI issue. Looks like Kamal stopped talking with Manobala after that incident.

^ I 'v been thinking of that video ever since it was posted first on Kamal's birthday last year. I know that there was this huge problem between the producers and the FEFSI workers during the time of Kaadhalaa kadhalaa and that Kamal supported FEFSI... but not sure as to what transpired between the two.....

If my deduction is right : Saleem would be the key for Omar to find that Wiz is a mole in VR2. This particular shot, Saleem watches him is surprise as Kamal was directly in the line of fire, but the bullets start showering towards the fleeing Jeep. Neither Kamal bothered to take cover nor the marines bothered to put a bullet thru him ... bizzare in a given attack-rescue suituation. Originally Posted by sharav

He is Manowar. By what saleem tells about him, we just know that he is a Pakisthani - I think he is not a spy but just a greedy informer - or he could be a double/triple agent, doubt it. Originally Posted by venkkiram

Thats all I can come up with.

yes, after the warehouse scene : "One amoung" could be also Wiz being a muslim. Maybe I am wrong, but that question was how could he have escaped. Being a close associate with Omar Saleem should have know Wiz, and these particular dialogues are meant to take us to Taliban and introduce Wiz. Originally Posted by Movie Buff

19 Feb – Fans who were disappointed and/or enraged by Malaysia's Home Ministry's ban on "Vishwaroopam" can finally rejoice as it is revealed that the ban has just been lifted.
According to reports, the ban on the action thriller is officially over, effective today, 19 February 2013. However, there is still no word from Lotus Five Star (LFS) representatives on when the film will be screened.
Initially, the Film Censorship Board had approved the movie for public screening in Malaysia on 24 January 2013, only to pull it out later when the Home Ministry issued a directive following concerns that the film portrayed Muslims in a negative light.
That did not stop fans from watching the film online, and the Kamal Haasan-starrer which he also produced, wrote and directed, netted Rs 100 crore after its second weekend in Tamil Nadu and Rs 105 crore worldwide. The spy thriller also became the second highest grosser film in Tamil cinema, beating Rajinikanth's 2007 movie "Shivaji" and Vijay's 2012 film "Thuppakki".
Currently it seems that the movie will only make it to our cinemas next week, as most cinemas have already set their screening schedules for the week and are yet to liaise with the local distributor for the rescreening details.

and Wizam promises that he will take care of Omar's family...but Omar says to salim that wizam is the reason for his family to be killed.. whether they are really killed or not is a question first...
in one scene Wizam says to Andrea and Pooja, that "my brother, omar kureshi" is there anything to it or a sarcastical comment?

The VR2 teaser shown at end indirectly says that Omar is (mostly) flying to India and so Wisam and Co also will soon fly back to India and do the rest. So, the story may not travel too fast at all so that Omar's Son grows up to study for MBBS! At most, he may be admitted to an Indian school...
Also one could see that apart from the Afghan portion, all the Story is just a one day event. May be we could discount the initial scene where Niru talks to Doctor. But after that, we see one day where Viz teaches kathak and Mama arrives that day. Next day itself the detective starts chasing kamal and ends him up in warehouse. That day night, mostly late night, Deepak comes to Niru's Home and shortly Viz+Roop Couple ported to warehouse. And their excape episode may take that nights time and mostly they arrive early morning to their home, after some preparations, they both along with Ashmita and Mama escapes in car and thats the nexte day.
One can see that when Niru+Wiz escapes in car, and then Omar+Salim arrives the warehouse, the outdoor will look like Dusk but its actually Dawn! Becos what follows the next is a bright Day!

Chennai Box-Office (February 15 to 17)
Tuesday, 19 February , 2013, 17:21
There is no opposition to Kamal Haasan`s Vishwaroopam. It continues to be the rock of Gibraltor at the CBO. 11 days total gross is around Rs 8 Crore, which is fantastic by any yardstick, and is the clear number one by a mile
At number two is the Veerappan bio-pic Vana Yuddham, which has taken a decent opening due to the controversies surrounding it. In the third place is Aadalam Boys Chinnatha Dance, the Tamil dubbed version of ABCD.
And in the fourth place is Sillunu Oru Sandhippu. Kadal has fallen to the last place at number five.
Vishwaroopam
Cast: Kamal Haasan, Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Rahul Bose
Director: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan, Hype, Technically brilliant
Length, Too slow in the second half
Trade Facts :Super Hit

I watched Vishwaroopam 4 times so far in Houston..............
Even last weekend - 1:30 show there were more than 20 people! Tha't awesome! (only $8).
Like Venkkiram said, even on the first week, the ticket price was only $12! Compare that to Endhiran which was set at a GREEDY $40 for the first week!!!! By the no. of tickets sold VR beats all records! Same thing in TN too..............
For Baradwaj Rangan's review (I am huge fan of him --- he "sees" the film and just does not "watch" the film as most of the reviewers!!) this is my reply: (And he kindly replied also!):
==============
BRangan,
SPOLIERS! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!!!
I just loved the film immensely. I think it’s made much more accessible to the majority of movie going public, still weaving the tale as intricately as possible without causing confusion. அவரும் மகாநதி, ஹேராம், அன்பே சிவம், விருமாண்டி -னு மலை மேல நின்னு கூப்பிட்டு பார்த்தார். நம்ம ஆளுங்க ஏறி போற மாதிரி தெரியலை! Hence without loosing his balance, he is leaning as much as he can, while stretching his hand! You can call this a straightforward film for that reason? I think not!
The unhurried narration allows the film to sweep across many things and also helps the audience to understand the several dimensions of the war.
+ Beautifully choreographed Kathak song……பாவம், உணர்வு, நடிப்பு, நளினம் ---- அசத்தும் கிளாஸ் பாஸ்!
+ The ware house transformation scene with title track - தமிழ் சினிமா கண்டிராத "மரண மாஸ்”, பாஸ்! (all the action gets over within two drops of water!! நெத்தியடி!!)). And at the end of it, his face....the intensity in the eyes and the expression on the face.......terrific! சிங்கம்-லே!
+ Omar using his hands as a gun and pretending to shooting his son – Traces of Saadat Hasan Manto there! Terrorizing the (mind of the) kid – though he has seen all that gun fights, choppers, explosions – but the look on his face when his dad says “toof”............amazing scene.
+ Nirupama, Ashmita, Jaganath......did their job adequately!
+ why so much against the accent? There is an explanation given for Omar and Salim's broken Tamil! That's a necessary evil!
+ Why always the Americans or the British should save the day and the world? Why FBI has to be always with smart guys? (We even fooled CIA – remember Pokran?). Why can’t our guy save the day, save NY and the world?
+ the story is told through powerful imagery - starting from the pigeons (as soon as he releases the "jihadi" bird, it's going at the bull), Omar choosing guns over pigeons before hanging Nasir, the swing shot, the Afghan landscape (could not believe that those houses were set pieces at Mahapalipuram!), the drops of water forming large puddles, The cries of Nasir and his mother, that old woman cursing, "First it was the British, then Russians, and then the Taliban, and then the Americans, and now it’s you lot – monkeys with tails in front, that’s what you are!” - and many more, still lingers on my vision weeks afterwatching the film! I just loved the way each scene was mounted and how layered they are.......my complaints against the film are very small!
I take great offense that you called this a “dumb” film with smarts. What is dumb here?……..You could say that the story is familiar or not as complex as hey ram or as ambitious as Dasa (not the treatment!).
“Ramasamy’s wife was kidnapped by Kuppusamy. Ramasamy bravely fought and saved her” --- is the story. Either you can write a long Kamba Ramayanam or make a short “samboorna Ramayanam or create a dreadful Ravan. But what makes you call eighter of these 3 stories dumb?? The screenplay here is really good and the non-linear narration keeps your interest at the top level all through the movie.
கடல் Review-க்கு வந்த விமர்சனத்துக்காக, விஸ்வரூபத்தை போட்டு தள்ளிட்டீங்க போல?!!!

Here is Baradwaj Rangan's Reply to my comments:
apala: First of all, thank you for a model comment on how someone can completely disagree and yet remain a civlised human being. Except that we don’t seem to have disagreed all that much. To take your points:
1. “straightforward film” is not a diss, merely an acknowledgement that this is not a “Virumaandi” or “Hey Ram.” Nothing wrong with a “straightforward film,” especially if it retains Kamal-isms and also works with the audience. Just that I wouldn’t place this on par with a “Virumaandi” or “Hey Ram.” That’s all. For some reason, this has come to be construed as a negative review. Don’t know why.
2. Agree with you on the “marana mass” scene That’s one of the things I was referring to when I said “the actor’s ongoing attempt to carve out for himself, within the commercial-film mould, some space where he can be the hero as well as be more than just a hero.” Again, that’s a major positive We don’t see this with other heroes.
3. “big dumb action movie” is a generic term we usually see for those films where things blow up and good guy is after bad guy and there’s a lot of gunplay and noise – and I’m saying that Kamal has taken that prototype, that template, and invested it with smarts. (Refer para with praise about Afghan portion. See also para about Kamal-isms.) See, good thing again?
4. “Nirupama, Ashmita, Jaganath……did their job adequately!” We’ll have to part ways on this. Sorry.
5. Not against the accent. Just said it made me giggle. I see why the need for this, and I don’t see how else it can be done, but it feels… odd, funny. This is exactly what I said in that para.
6. “Why can’t our guy save the day, save NY and the world?” Of course he can. I am merely commenting that Kamal’s films – so far criss-crossing the nation – have begun to criss-cross the world. In what earthly sense can this statement be interpreted as a diss? Again, which other hero’s career trajectory contains such an auteurist theme?

A very old Kamal Haasan interview. still worth a watch .
The problem of a Kamal inteview is usually is that, the quality of interviewer is not too good.
Not good enough to bring out the best in him.
But Simi Garewal does a decent job...

WorldCinimeFan strikes back again with a very interesting post! He throws a challenge to those who make fun of this film!
http://worldcinemafan.blogspot.in/20...roopam_20.html
நண்பர்களே...
‘விஸ்வரூபத்தை சீன் பை சீன் எழுது’ என அன்புக்கட்டளைகள்
வந்த வண்ணம் உள்ளது.
இரண்டாம் பாகம் வந்ததும் எழுதுகிறேன்.
அது வரை பொறுத்திருக்க...
கல்லெறிபவர்களும் காத்திருக்க.
நண்பர்களே...
விஸ்வரூபத்தை பலமுறை பார்த்துதான்...
என்னால் அர்த்தம் கட்டமைக்க முடிந்தது.
விஸ்வரூபத்தை, ஒரு முறை பார்த்து புரிந்து கொள்ள முடியாது.
ஒரு முறை பார்த்தவுடன் புரிவதற்கு இப்படம் படைக்கப்படவில்லை.
இரண்டாம் முறை பார்கும் போது புரிவதெற்கென்றே சில காட்சிகள் படைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
விஸ்வரூபத்தை, நிருபமா கதாபாத்திரத்தின் வழியாக கொஞ்சம்
எட்டிப்பார்ப்போம்.
நிருபமா + சைக்யாட்ரிஸ்ட் வழியாகத்தான் விஸ்வரூபத்தின் முன் கதை விளக்கப்படுகிறது.
இக்காட்சியில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு வார்த்தையும் ஆயிரம் வார்த்தைகளாக வெடிக்கிறது.
படம் நெடுக ‘வசனகர்த்தா கமல்’ தீனி போட்டாலும்,
இந்த பகுதி ஸ்பெஷல் ட்ரீட்.
நிருபமா : ஐ பிலிவ் இன் அமெரிக்கா.
என் விமோசனமே இங்கேதான் தோணித்து.
ஏழு வயசாயிருக்கும் போதே எங்கப்பா கேன்சர்ல போயிட்டார்.
ஸோ...நானும் எங்கம்மாவும் சித்தப்பா ஆத்துல ஒண்ட வேண்டியதா போச்சு.
எங்கம்மா செத்த அண்ணைக்கு... என் மனசுல ஒரு வைராக்கியம் .
எப்படியாவது இந்த மிடில் கிளாஸ் ஊழில இருந்து தப்பிக்கணும்.
அமெரிக்கா போகணும்.
பி.எச்.டி பண்ணணும்.
ஆச்சா...
ஒரு மிடில் கிளாஸ் பிராம்மணப்பெண்ணின் நரகத்தையும்...
அதிலிருந்து தப்பிக்க எத்தனிக்கும் முனைப்பையும்...
சொற்சித்திரங்களாக்கி இருக்கிறார்
‘வசனகர்த்தா கமல்’.
இந்தப்பகுதியின் இறுதி வார்த்தையான ‘ஆச்சா’ எதை குறிக்கிறது ?
இது வரை பிளாஷ்பேக்கை சரளமாக சொன்ன நிருபமா,
இனி தன்னுடைய ‘மனதில்’ இருப்பதை எடிட் பண்ணிப்பேசப்போகிறாள் என்பதை விளக்க ‘ஆச்சா’வை போட்டிருக்கிறார் படைப்பாளி கமல்.
நிருபமா : சொல்லி வச்சாப்ல...
நம்ம ஜெகன்நாத் மாமா இவர் ஜாதகத்தை
கொண்டு வர்றார்.
இவரும் கரெக்டா ஸ்டேட்ஸ்ல இருந்தார்.
ஸோ...
ஜெகன்நாத்தும், விஸாமும் இந்திய உளவுத்துறை அதிகாரிகள்.
இருவருமே திட்டமிட்டு தங்களது அமெரிக்க ஆப்பரேஷனின் ஒரு பகுதியாக இந்த திருமணத்தை திட்டமிட்டு நடத்தியது புலப்படுகிறது.
இருவருமே உற்றார் உறவினர்களிடம் கூட தங்கள் பணியை மறைப்பதை கடமையாகக்கொண்டவர்கள் என்பதும் புரிகிறது.
[ இரண்டாம் முறை பார்க்கும் போதுதான் இது விளங்கும்.]
சைக்யாட்ரிஸ்ட் : புரியுது...
அதான் வயசு வித்தியாசம் கூட பாக்காம...
மிஸ்டர்.விஸ்வநாதனை கட்டிக்க சம்மதிச்சிங்களா ?
கதாநாயகனுக்கும்...கதாநாயகிக்கும் உள்ள வயது வித்தியாசத்தை ‘பேலன்ஸ்’
செய்துள்ளார் கமல்.
நிருபமா : அப்கோர்ஸ்...இட் வாஸ் எ மேரேஜ் ஆப் கன்வீனியன்ஸ்.
அவருக்கும் இதுல என்ன சவுகரியமோ தெரியல...
தெரிஞ்சுண்டேதான் ஒத்துண்டார்...விஸ்.
சைக்யாட்ரிஸ்ட் : விஸ்...
நிருபமா : ஓ...விஸ்...என் ஹஸ்பண்ட் பேரு.
சைக்யாட்ரிஸ்ட் : ஓ...நீங்க வச்ச பெட் நேமா ?.
நிருபமா : பெட்டுமில்ல...குட்டுமில்ல.
எல்லோரும் அப்டி கூப்டா...நானும் அப்டி கூப்ட்டேன்.
ஆரம்பத்துல இருந்தே...அந்த மாதிரி கொஞ்சல்-கிஞ்சல்லாம் கிடையாது.
நான் ஹானஸ்டா அவர்ட்ட சொல்லிட்டேன்.
நான் வந்தது படிக்கத்தான்.
எனக்கு படுத்துண்டே...படிக்கிற பழக்கமில்லேன்னேன்.
அவரும் சிரிச்சுண்டே ஒத்துண்டுட்டார்.
ஹி ஹேஸ் எ கிரேட் சென்ஸ் ஆப் ஹ்யூமர்...யூ நோ.
‘படுத்துண்டே...படிக்கிற பழக்கமில்ல’...
இந்த டயலாக் மட்டும் 'குறள்' மாதிரி...
விளக்கத்தை கொஞ்சம் ‘உள்ளே போய்’ தேடணும்.
கணவனது தோற்றம்...பாடி லேங்குவேஜ்...இவற்றால் அசூயை அடைந்த நிருபமா அவனோடு செக்ஸ் வைப்பதை தவிர்க்க எண்ணியுள்ளாள்.
உடலுறவு வைத்திருந்தால்... ‘புரிந்திருப்பாள்’...
கணவனை ‘முஸ்லிம்’ என கண்டு பிடித்திருப்பாள்.
It is a Wonderful 'Situational - Logic'.
இறுதியில் வரும் ‘ஜேம்ஸ்பாண்ட்’ காட்சியில் நிருபமா நிச்சயமாக தெரிந்திருப்பாள்.
இரண்டாம் முறை பார்க்கும் போது ‘புரிந்து ரசித்ததில்’...
எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த சூப்பரான காட்சி இதோ...
விஸ் : மாமாஜியும்...டாக்கின்ஸனும் ஏதோ ப்ரீப் பண்ணணுமாம் நம்பளை.
ஓவர் த டின்னர்.
அஷ்மிதா [ அண்ட்ரியா ] : எப்டி ?....அதும் நிருபமா எதிர்க்க !.
விஸ் : நிருபமா டின்னருக்கு...வரல.
அஷ்மிதா : வரமாட்டான்னு... ‘ஆகாஸ்வாணி’ சொல்லித்தா ?.
விஸ் : எக்ஸாக்ட்லி.
இந்தக்காட்சியில்,
வசன உச்சரிப்பில்...‘பிராம்மண உச்சரிப்பையும்’...
உடல் மொழியில்... பெண்மைத்தன்மையையும்...
‘விஸ் கதாபாத்திரம்’ தவிர்த்திருப்பதாக காட்சியமைத்துள்ளார் படைப்பாளி கமல்.
அஷ்மிதா காரெக்டரும் அதே போல் காஷுவலாக உரையாடும்.
உடல் மொழியும் மாறுபடும்.
பின்னால் வரும் “ இங்க எல்லோருக்குமே டபுள் ரோல்” என்ற வசனத்தை இங்கே பொருத்தி பார்க்க வேண்டும்.
சக உளவாளியான அஷ்மிதாவோடு உரையாடுகையில்...
‘பிராம்மண உச்சரிப்பு + பெண் தன்மையை’ விலக்கி...
அடுத்தக்காட்சியில்...
நிருபமாவுடன் உரையாடும்போது ‘பிராம்மண உச்சரிப்பு + பெண் தன்மையை’ தொடர்வதாக காட்சியமைத்த படைப்பாளி கமலை கலா ரசிகர்கள் பாராட்டுகிறார்கள்.
‘ஆகாஸ்வாணி’ என்ற வார்த்தைக்கு அர்த்தம்...
பின்னால் வரும் ஒரு காட்சியில் அஷ்மிதா,
நிருபமாவை பார்த்து... “ உங்க ஆபிஸ் பூரா ‘பக்’ பண்ணியிருக்கோம்” எனச்சொல்லும் போது விளங்கும்.
அதாவது, நிருபமா-தீபக் அலுவலக உரையாடல்கள் முழுக்க ஒட்டுக்கேட்கப்படுகிறது என்பதை வசனம் மூலமாகவே விளக்கியுள்ளார் படைப்பாளி கமல்.
ஆகாஸ்வாணி = ஒட்டுக்கேட்கும் நடவடிக்கைக்கு ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்ட
‘கோட் வேர்ட்’
நிருபமா-தீபக் ரகஸ்யக்காதலை தெரிந்தும்... ஒன்றுமே தெரியாதவன் போல்
உரையாடுவான் விஸ்.
இதற்கு அஷ்மிதா,ஜெகன்னாத்,டாக்கின்சன் ரியாக்*ஷனை கவனியுங்கள்.
தேர்ந்தெடுத்த உளவாளிகளின் பாவனை இருக்கும்.
ஏனென்றால் உளவாளிகளுக்கு பொய் பேசுவதுதான் குலத்தொழில்.
மாறாக, ‘நிருபமா-தீபக்&கோ’ பொய் பேசுவதில் தடுமாறுவதை காட்டி நகைச்சுவையை ஏற்படுத்தி உள்ளார் படைப்பாளி கமல்.
இப்படத்தில் அனைத்து நடிகர்களும் கதாபாத்திரங்களுடன் ஒன்றி போட்டி போட்டு நடித்துள்ளார்கள்.
ஒருத்தொருக்கொருத்தர் சளைக்காமல் நடித்து இயக்குனர் கமலுக்கு பெருமை

Vishal’s angry retort against Radha Ravi
It may be recalled that during the Viswaroopam controversy, Vishal had put in a Facebook status message which had apparently irked the Nadigar Sangam who had asked for an explanation from the actor. Vishal in his reply to Radha Ravi, General Secretary of Nadigar Sangam, states that it was his sheer anguish for a fellow actor and that too a very senior and a legendary one such as Kamal Haasan that made him express his feelings. He also states that, like him, other artists have also expressed their concern over the issue.
He further explains his stance saying that the Section 13 of the Council which he is said to have violated will apply to people who wrongfully criticize the council or the members of the council and hence it is not applicable to him. It is only with the intention of helping the members of the Sangam that he had recorded his view. He also clarifies that people who are familiar with English will clearly understand what he had stated in the social networking platform.
Vishal points out that in the past there were emergency meetings convened by the council when artists were having problems but such a meeting was not summoned this time when Kamal was going through troubled times. “Artists have always been giving out their viewpoint and I also did the same thing”, he adds.
“Young artists like me are participating in CCL matches and have been donating the money thus earned to the welfare activities of the Council but despite my pleas to the Council to get my balance amount for Samar, you have not taken any action. Hence request you to accept my aforementioned explanation and not hurt young artists like me. Please also make the council activities as transparent as possible and abstain from favoritism”, Vishal signs up.

MUMBAI: Though Kamal Haasan was relieved to know that the ban on his film ‘Vishwaroopam’ had been lifted this week in Malaysia he felt it was a case of too-little-too-late.
Down with a terrible viral for the last week, Kamal surfaced from his confinement to speak exlusively on the matter.
“It was quite significant that my Muslim brothers in Malaysia were also up in arms just because their Indian counterparts felt my film was damaging to their reputation. I’ve good reason to believe Malaysia has a sizeable fan following for my films. Their voice was smothered in the useless me-too ban-the-film mentality,” says Kamal Haasan who has apparently been invited by his Malaysian fans to visit the country to coincide with belated release of the film.
“Too late now. The damage has been done,” says Kamal Haasan. “I’ve suffered crippling losses because of the ban.”
Kamal Haasan begins shooting for the sequel to ‘Vishwaroopam’ as soon he can muster the finances.
“Luckily the film has done well and my impending financial catastrophe has been averted. I hate to think what would have happened if the film had not done well,” says Kamal.

After the roaring success of the Tamil version and the average success of the Hindi version, one wonders, if Kamal should avoid making 'Hindi' versions in the future ? I mean ...is it worth the effort he puts in ?
Looking at the movie, it has a predominantly Bollywood cast (except Nasser and Kamal) and has been designed to woo the North Indian audience...The same strategy was adopted for Hey Ram and Aalavandan...
Even though the Hindi version was much better than the Tamil version (maybe because, unlike the Tamil version, everyone sounded more natural in the Hindi version) ....the rewards have not been adequate for Vishwaroop.
So the questions is...Is Kamal better off concentrating on regional Tamil and Telugu versions in the future...?
I don't know how Kamal feels when he sees crappy movies like a 'Son of Sardar' or 'Bol Bachhan' grossing more than 100 crores each..But for me it is painful that his Vishwaroop which is a zillion times better than these movies... only make average profits...

Vikatan, Thats sad truth but lets look it other way. Penetrating deep into new markets are always tough. We can say Vishwa got a good start and if he makes films which are not rooted to south, then there are chances that this average success will grow to superhit. Compare this with the North heros attempting to enter south, TN market. Except some single screens in chennai, nobody screens bollywood mainstream films. So its equally tough for them to penetrate.
I would say Vishwa collections are much better than the past kamal movies and expect he shud continue this trend.

Among the Indians, 70-80% are Tamils and the other non-Tamils are mostly conversant in Tamil, so much so the term "Indian" has become synonymous with "Tamil" and you may have a Gujerati or even a Malayalee saying that he is "not" Indian.
Mamaks are Malaysian Indian Muslims. (the root word is Mama or Uncle). While many Mamaks have remained true Tamils, there is also a large section who identify themselves as Malays. This is because the Malaysian Constitution defines Malay as “a person who professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, and conforms to Malay customs”.
Why do they want to be Malays? Power, wealth-creation and to enjoy the benefits of being a Bumiputra. Basically, they are traitors to their race.
Beneficiaries include Mahathir, who single-handedly screwed up the country majestically.
90% of the problems in this country are caused by these minority mamaks.
p/s: the 7% stats doesn't include these plastic, imitation Malays as they have denied their roots.

But looking at the amount of effort put in, and the average results , one wonders if it is worthwhile...
If Kamal is really looking to regain some lost ground in Bollywood (Mainstream cinema), I would think that he should work with a top line Bollywood director/team.
Perhaps with the new crop of talented directors like...Madhur Bandarkar or Anurag Kashyap. Well anyways, Kamal has been in the game for a very long time...and can figure it out himself.

??? MGR can not ACT? I am sure the people saying this haven't watched his movies of 1950s. He was such a natural actor in Nadodi man an and similar movies.... in fact, I wud say that he was a blend of Aamir Khan and Jackie Chan. And he was sooooo natural even during song sequences ("thUngAthE thambi thUngAthE"). No kaN uruttals and udhadu suzhitthals like Sivaji....

IMO, MGR's acting skills are below average, it is not right to compare Aamir Khan with MGR. but in real life, he was a "real" hero for many, esp Eezha Thamizhar !
Regarding GG, he could not act at all, I feel Muthuraman deserved more credit than he got!

Posting only the Vishwaroopam portions, but the whole post is a Must Read!
கமல் படம் என்று நான் தெரிந்து பார்த்த சகல கலா வல்லவன் முதல் விஸ்வரூபம் வரை ஏராளமான சண்டை காட்சிகள் நினைவுக்கு வந்து போகின்றன. இப்போது விஸ்வரூபத்திலும் சண்டை காட்சிகள் வித்தியாசமாக அமைந்துள்ளன. கார் வரும் போது ஜன்னல் கண்ணாடியை சுட்டு, காரினுள் குதிப்பது, கண்ணிமைக்கும் நேரத்தில் பலரை அடுத்து வீழ்த்துவது என.
கமல் தனக்கென சண்டைக் காட்சிகளில் ஒரு பாணியை வைத்துக் கொள்ளாமல் கேரக்டரின் குண நலனுக்கு ஏற்ப சண்டை போடுவதாலேயே இத்தனை வித சண்டைக்காட்சிகளை கொடுக்க முடிந்தது. மேலும் அவர் சேகரிக்கும் வித வித பொருட்களும் சண்டைக் காட்சிகளை உயிர்ப்புடன் வைக்கின்றன. கலைஞனில் ஸ்டிலட்டோ, விஸ்வரூபத்தில் மூன்றாய் பிரியும் கத்தி, நாயகனில் நிஜ துப்பாக்கி என சண்டைக்காட்சிகளுக்கு வலு சேர்க்க முடிகிறது.

So much drama over a movie
The ban on Tamil movie Vishwaroopam has been lifted and it looks likely to be a hit when screening begins. Meanwhile, another angry – and ugly – drama is unfolding.
So, the ban on the movie Vishwaroopam has finally been lifted.
Malaysians can now get to see an Indian movie that’s fairly top class.
I am glad that common sense has finally prevailed, albeit with cuts to the movie.
The ban, I thought, was quite silly really.
It sure was an exercise in futility.
Every Muthu, Samy and Sundram I know has seen the movie – in its entirety. It’s available on the Net! There are also many who have downloaded it.
The biggest loser, of course, has to be the local distributor. Pirate VCD sellers who have been complaining of poor business lately are now smiling from ear to ear. This movie has been selling like hot cakes.
I was in Prai in Penang a few days ago and a VCD seller came to a coffeeshop. Within minutes, his stock of this movie was gone.
I have seen parts of the movie and I don’t remember feeling that it would cause any offence. Maybe it is just a case of me not be**i**ng aware of things.
It has a Muslim posing as an effeminate Hindu dance master who turns out to be a macho super spy who kicks butt and then helps the FBI break into an al-Qaeda terrorist network in the United States.
All quite the usual Bol*lywood masala stuff.
In addition to that, the hero-producer Ka**mal Haasan does dance very well.
Yet, it has been a movie that has aroused emotions, all sorts of emotions.
In Tamil Nadu, the state government banned it after some Muslims were apparently enraged.
Kamal Haasan was then reduced to tears.
He had spent much of his life’s savings – even mortgaged his house – for this movie.
He had spent close to 100 crores (about RM60mil) in making it.
A ban meant he would be financially ruined. He threatened to quit Tamil Nadu, even quit India.
Then, his fellow actors became indignant. Actors with huge followings like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan came to his defence.
Some of them were Muslims too and they saw nothing wrong with this movie.
It was just another movie, and a well-made one.
They rallied their troops and so did Tamil Nadu’s own Khan – Rajinikanth. Kamal Haasan’s tears then turned to triumph.
With the fans of all these blockbuster stars rushing to the theatres in north India where it was released without any problem, the actor-producer could afford to smile.
When it was finally released in Tamil Nadu, there was a mad, mad rush for tickets.
Vishwaroopam has now become one of India’s all-time top grossing movies. It is also doing well in the United States and Britain.
The producer will probably be having only words of thanks for the people who had wanted the movie banned.
It turned out to be good news for him in the long run.
In fact, he is now planning Vishwaroo*pam 2.
Now, even Lord of the Rings producer Barrie Osborne wants the Indian actor in his movie after watching him in action in Vishwa*roopam.
The movie is about to be screened in Malaysia, sometime next week.
The crowd will likely rush to the theatres to watch it in full clarity. The picture quality of the movie on the Net isn’t all that good.
But the lifting of the ban hasn’t qu**elled emotions, at least not in this country.
Another row is now all set to rage, with controversial lecturer Rid*hu*an Tee *Abdul*lah we**i*g*hing in on the matter.
He had criticised the movie and MIC’s defence of it.
To make matters worse, he started throwing in some choice words about other Hindu matters, like the Thaipusam celebrations at Batu Caves.
The MIC folk are angry.
A police report has been lodged against him and S. Vell Paari, the son of former MIC leader Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, has also lashed back at him.
I wonder if Ridhuan Tee had watched the movie before making his criticism, or had just shot his mouth, as he has so often been accused of.
He certainly has ruffled a few feathers with his most recent rant.
Even as the movie is about to play, another drama now unfolds in Malaysia.
Or is it just politics as usual?
> The writer is looking forward to his next day-off, so he can get a ticket to the movie and try to figure out where the cuts were made. He needs to learn what others are so sensitive about, and why.

Omar, salim and nigrian plans and plant the drtybomb. Ngrn had to selfblow it. He keeps food in cooker, does namaz and was blown up. Omar gets impatient why the bomb didn't go yet and tries to remote detonate it, but before that cooker gives first whistle and niru spots faraday shield and prevents boom. Now..Q1. It will take at least50mt for ngrn to blow bomb (min threewhistles, cooling time and eating) why did omar jumps the gun so early?
Q2. Omar and salim planned to escape and flight yet to take off. Will not the blast blow the flight?

UV, The US team along with kamal rushes in becos 1, they want to get in as fast as the othery ways of bugging had failed, For ex the micro helicop camera bugging. 2, they get that train passing with heavy sound and they they use its biiig sound 2 times(2 trains) to get in without any doubt for others.
The 2nd time they get inside the abbaasi's room itself. They shoot him and detonate it with Nirupama's help. But since the abbassi closed the window screens we don't know, may be the 1st 2 whistles already came. Or that abbassi starts cooking only after that scene?!?
One thing is, as soon as the abbassi is shot (2 times) and clean dead, omar's call to him happens asap becos the blood is coming out of his body fresh. But anyways, what u ask may be a possible bug!
Q2. No the Flight is well on motion, thatyswhy Omar can see the whole city via his window. Omar calls as soon as the flight finished take-off and starts flying above NewYork

I think you are putting too much thought into it, but basically its quite simple. Abbasi is called into to the "service" much ealier than the initial planning. His question "I thought we had time" explins that he has his own personel plan. Omar calling Abbasi quite early is because of the shift in the planing, reverse time table (I assume you know why the time of the blast was advanced). Meanwhile, Abbasi tries to stick to what he wished to do. The ritual + food [here I like to tell you another brillance of KH, another clue that Kamal is a Muslim.Kamal do does that same ritual at his residence. He shaving his pubic hair was briliantly masked with him cutting his long hair - a split second you see him taking the electic razor - he goes into the ritual knowing that he may die in the process of saving NYC] So comming back ... Abbasi cooks his food ... guns fire ... Omar tries to detonate it even before the reversed time table ... calls to check and order to blast it using the trigger ... This is wizam how can I help you ... Originally Posted by Unmai Vilambi

Just imagine the horror and terror it would cause. Thats the motive of Omar and not mass killing - spreading terror and panic. And dont take/confuse a dirty bomb for a nuclear bomb. So the explosion will not explode his plane.

Boski's Review .. rather view :
Boski's narration of any movie is funny. How he joins comical exemples to a given scenes are laughable. As he mentioned, out of 26 views, the initial ones were good. But after the release of a particular film, his views are biased. He picks up the movies and softly handles the ones he is "told-what-to-do" and for the others he really goes to extreme levels just to be funny and seed a negativity in his sarcastic "ticks".
Its clearly undestood from his "view" on VR that he was not looking any further than searching for a tutor to explain him things. This is unacceptable from Boski and proves that he is one amoung the "paid".
For the front bencher - VR is a typical masala movie, nothing much : Secret hero - cheating wife - thumping warehouse action - a abnormal looking villan - hero saving the day with 2 women beside. And yes it has huge loopholes. Boski viewed it. And he goes with the people who complain there are no comedy track or songs. Moreover the other movies he took as a comparison is the most funniest thing of all.
Boski, next time give your view according to you capability and not capacity.

Here is the interesting part of KH depiction of REAL muslim and their difference between the Jihads. A real muslim feels bad/guity for hurting a soul. The other spy is the mole just like KH, but he is from an "other relegion" disguised as a muslim. KH "being a muslim" [my personel opinion - I don't think he gets converted] could not tolerate the nonsense of a failed sub mission as a military man as well as could not hide the guilt as a TRUE muslim. He is left speechless from the reply of his comarade. Originally Posted by Unmai Vilambi

It seems Sir was down by Viral Fever. Guess he is all right now. So far no info from RKFI both via press and Facebook page. But i guess they won't come with an BO related statements atleast for 2 weeks.
Becos the run is not over, still holding btw above average and medium, in many places.
Malaysia (and (still!)hopefully UAE) yet to release.
Also Hindi Overseas release expected to happen anytime soon in US(and possibly in other countries too).
Karnataka, centers are reduced but still holding good in weekends. AP and Kerala doing decently.
So i guess they will come with official info on BO after 2 weeks, and probably also with DTH announcement

MUMBAI: Though Kamal Haasan was relieved to know that the ban on his film ‘Vishwaroopam’ had been lifted this week in Malaysia he felt it was a case of too-little-too-late.
Down with a terrible viral for the last week, Kamal surfaced from his confinement to speak exlusively on the matter.
“It was quite significant that my Muslim brothers in Malaysia were also up in arms just because their Indian counterparts felt my film was damaging to their reputation. I’ve good reason to believe Malaysia has a sizeable fan following for my films. Their voice was smothered in the useless me-too ban-the-film mentality,” says Kamal Haasan who has apparently been invited by his Malaysian fans to visit the country to coincide with belated release of the film.
“Too late now. The damage has been done,” says Kamal Haasan. “I’ve suffered crippling losses because of the ban.”
Kamal Haasan begins shooting for the sequel to ‘Vishwaroopam’ as soon he can muster the finances.
“Luckily the film has done well and my impending financial catastrophe has been averted. I hate to think what would have happened if the film had not done well,” says Kamal.

Isn't it conspicuous of Kamal not expressing even a mild condemnation for the murderous attack on Kushboo's house when she came forward to "hug and weep on his shoulders" when he declared he would leave the country due to JJ Govt's diabolical heinous conspiracies for not releasing VR?
Why wouldnt Kamal keep these things in Public Domain? He can no more afford to feign "non-political"; he included himself on Dec.29, 2012 in real politiks!

When the கற்பு issue blown out kushboo, Kamal wrote an article in Deccan Chronicle or some newspaper, in support of her. He had raised his opinion in many issues and supported his colleagues and also wrote/spoke about many public issues too. Remember he requested to boycott Petrol Bunks on Feb 14th last year, to show public anger against the petrol price rise. He even mentioned this price hike in humorous manner, at few public places.
This issue is clearly a political issue and thatswhy he keeps silence. May be he would have called and spoke to her. She respects kamal a lot and he knows that very well!

So thats the issue. I would say he needlessly took that to such a big stage, instead he cud have put forth his refusal in other manner and wud have easily managed to skip the event. But he didn't. So he faced consequences. None of them is justifiable, all of that is horrible act of MuKa govt. But i just wanted to say that such troubles, not nesesarily political, happens almost to all actors. Ajith himself was merattified and taken back his advance money from Director bala. what did react do to bala for that incident?
Too many years b4, i read an kamal interview where he said that one cine person became his friend and a regular to his home/office and one day he stole some documents of kamal and made money, after which, kamal parted away with that guy. Did kamal go to CM or then political power to solve that issue?! Or can we say that no body supported kamal for that?!
Its like that. Its not right to say that each and every one shud be supported in each and every issue. It depends. Some things can be done / achieved in different ways etc..

Vishwaroopam:
Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam is technically one of best films and it has been well received by the Tamil audience. The new releases didn't affect the trade this week and Vishwaroopam is holding very strong at the weekend. But the week day collections have shown a huge drop. The film is estimated to have got a tremendous distributor share in Tamil Nadu alone.
Positives: Kamal Haasan, Screenplay, VFX
Negatives: Nothing major
Trade reports:
A Centre: Blockbuster
B Centre: Superhit
C Centre: Superhit
Overall Verdict: Superhit

PETALING JAYA: Tamil film fans can finally watch Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam this week.
Lotus Five Star Group’s programming manager, P Gopal confirmed this to FMT today.
“A special screening will be held on Wednesday. The movie would be shown nationwide from Thursday (Feb 28) onwards,” he said.
Details on the special screening have not been confirmed yet but he said that the special screening was open to the public.
Gopal was however evasive when asked on the number of cuts in the movie.
“That has been reported in the media. Why ask about that now?” he said.
Vishwaroopam, a Kamal Haasan spy-thriller, was first screened on Jan 25. However, it was suspended the following day due to opposition from Indian Muslim groups that claimed the movie was insensitive to the feelings of the Muslims.
The Home Ministry suspended the movie after receiving protest memorandums from Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (Kimma) and Federation of Indian Muslim Organisations (Permim).
The suspension did no go down well with the Indian community. Even members of civil societies such as National Laureate A Samad Said questioned the rationale in suspending the movie.
Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen described Malaysia as a coward nation in her micro-blogging site.
Following negotiations, Lotus Five Star and the protesting Indian Muslim groups agreed to 16 cuts in the movie.

Doing a comedy quicke is ok but at max it shud not exceed 1 month of his callsheet. Doing comedy with a new person who is successful, is good! Nee bladd! (New blood!)Rajesh to direct Kamal - full details here
After a magnum opus, Kamal always makes it a point to star in a short-term comedy flick. So, with Vishwaroopam hitting the screens, he is now on the verge of doing a comedy film. Sources say that AVM Productions will be producing this venture and director Rajesh will be wielding the megaphone.
Rajesh has several comedy films to his credit including Siva Manasula Shakthi and Oru Kal Oru Kannadi. It is reported that the director is planning a very humorous script for Kamal and this project will be wrapped up within six months.

Sakala bro is this after VR 2 or before it bec if its before then KH is doing it for money and he is not completely out of the woods yet financially. I always thought this PvP fellow is a bogus character ,it seems this fellow went to US without anything and within 5 yrs he formed 2 companies and sold for huge profit and came back to India with around 1000 cr .So i am highly skeptical about this guys integrity and hopefully he doesn't cheat KH fruits of his hard earned effort.

We spoke and exclaimed many class scenes in vr but there are some scenes which were so minor and forgotten to highlight eventhough enjoyed while watching. Excuse me if there is any repetition:
1.after telling the shrink ‘whats normal with wiz’, niru watches diff directions with question mark maching the background jathi ‘thaka thaka thaka, dhimi dhimi dhimi’
2.wis (fake) shuddering due to cold after closing door
3. salim in phone ordering to kill deep, farooq ‘asadu vazhiyal’ while facing deep in person while still on phone
4. after the drug merchant (sorry name forgotten) was ‘identified’ as spy, wasim watches the tracking device and feeling pity for him and the red led light is shown as if it pierces him
5. after checking pulse of hanged drug merchant, salim signals ‘yes he is dead’ and gives a sympathic pat on the leg (eppdillam yosichurkaar ya thalaivar)
6.irony of checking pulse of dead doctor in the hand which still holds stethoscope
7.after killing dawkins, salim appreciates the antique knife and pockets it.
(innum varum. 30 days aachu still grows inside. will love if you ppl also share your pick-of-scenes)

Many areas in USA are not reporting from the beginning(refer to Sakala's post- out of 84 tamil screens, some onl 46 are reported screens).. the distributors there sold some areas at a cost and not bothered about reporting the real collections only.. then how will we get the original collections.. Originally Posted by Lat Sar

Even in TN, once distributors give a movie on Minimum Guarantee to a theater, they are not bothered about actual collection... Kamal initially did not want to give the movie on MG, but the distributors in many of the areas sold the movie on MG basis to theaters...
Let us hope RKFI a proper tax paying company may reveal the collections while they are filing the Tax returns..

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on 26th February 2013 04:19 PM [Full View]
CR, in TN, though its sold for MG, the agreement is, after MG, profit sharing starts. So, to know when is the MG tipped and from then on, how much is the collection, a person from RKFI will be there in each and every theaters(except Multiplexes which report properly) monitoring the ticket sales. They will be there for all the shows exactly from the time ticket sale starts and ends. So they report collection to RKFI. And the theaters have to deposit money to RKFI every morning. Added to that there are random raids from a team set by RKFI who are authorised to peek into any theater any time. (mostly this is the usual case for all films which has profit sharing) So inside TN its well taken care of( i somewhat personally too know this wrt RKFI )
And as you said, many US centers not reporting properly and Canada was not reported from beginning. But i guess thats to Public. RKFI would be having an internal system to track these too.
Above all, i trust what Pooja Kumar said in NJ Concert (We just crossed 200 Crores) must be via Official channel. She could not just go on stage and say something she read in websites. The gross has chances to be 200Cr.
For dasavatharam, Aascar reported the collections in an interview on Jun28th and said the film generated revenues worth 100 Cr so far(Film released on June 13) He could have even included the Sat. Rights and other sale too. But thats an official way of reporting. Then we got the 200 Cr info via TOI news again from producer and then later we got a Hindu Newspaper's report.
For VR too, this kind of "producer coming fwd and quoting the BO Figures in Media" shud happen. We all are expecting that. That too given RKFI's reputation there is nothing wrong in us expecting that! Whether the other producers considering VR in the Top Charts in future, while quoting their own films' BO achievements is purely their thing and that can never reduce Kamal's BO achievements. And this time rarely the 100Cr thingi was widely reported in All National Medias Top to bottom, Left to Right! In that way, we can say that they all kazhuvified their Old Sins wrt Kamal's BO Facts. Lets see that trend continues, too!

கமல் என்னும் கலைஞன் !
http://cinema.vikatan.com/uploaded/29kamalhassans.jpg
படிப்படியாக போராடிப் போராடித் தான் கமல் திரைத்துறையில் முன்னேறி வருகிறார். கமலைப் பற்றிய சின்னச் சின்ன தகவல்கள்.. உங்களுக்காக..
கமலுக்கு சினிமா சென்டிமென்டுகளில் எப்போதுமே நம்பிக்கை கிடையாது. ' ஹே ராம்' படத்தின் தொடக்க காட்சியில், முதல் வசனமே இப்படித்தான் இருக்கும்... " சாகேத்ராம்.. This is Pack up Time ! "
* நடிகர்கள் பெண் வேடமிட்டு திரையில் தோன்றுவது அவ்வப்போது நிகழக் கூடியது தான். அவையெல்லாம் ஒரு சில காட்சிகள் தான் இருக்கும். ஆனால், கமல்ஹாசன்தான், தமிழ்த் திரையில் படத்தின் பெரும்பகுதி பெண் வேடமிட்டு நடித்தார். சிறுவயதில் தான் குருகுல வாசம் செய்த அவ்வை டி.கே.எஸ்.நாடகக் குழுவின் மேல் கொண்ட பற்றினாலும், குருவின் மேல் கொண்ட பக்தியினாலும், தனது படத்திற்கு 'அவ்வை சண்முகி’ என்றே பெயர் வைத்தார்.
* எம்.ஜி.ஆருக்கு ' நான் ஏன் பிறந்தேன் ' திரைப்படத்திலும், ஜெயலலிதாவுக்கு 'அன்பு தங்கை' படத்திலும், சிவாஜிக்கு 'சவாலே சமாளி' படத்திலும் டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டராக பணியாற்றி இருக்கிறார். அப்போது எம்.ஜி.ஆருக்கு சிவாஜிக்குரிய நடன அசைவுகளை வைக்க, 'குறும்புக்காரா...’ என்று செல்லமாக எம்.ஜி.ஆர். கோபித்தார்.
* கமலுக்கு திரைப்படங்களைப் பார்ப்பதை விட அதீத ஆர்வம் புத்தகங்களை வாசிப்பதில் உண்டு. இதிகாசங்களில் இருந்து, நவீன இலக்கியங்கள் வரை எல்லாவற்றிலும் புகுந்து புறப்பட்டு வருவார். அதேபோல் திரைப்படத்துறையின் லேட்டஸ்ட் தொழில் நுட்பங்களை விரல் நுனியில் வைத்திருப்பார்.
* " ரஜினியும் நானும் கிளாஸ்மெட் மாதிரி. இன்னும் சொல்லப் போனால், ஒரே பெஞ்ச்மெட். கே.பாலசந்தர் என்கிற பள்ளியில் ஒன்றாகப் படித்தவர்கள் என்ற பாசம் எங்களிடையே உண்டு. எனினும், கபில்தேவ், இம்ரான்கான் மாதிரி ஆரோக்கியமான போட்டியும் உண்டு " என்று சொல்வார்.
* பேசும் சினிமா வந்து ஐம்பத்தைந்து ஆண்டுகளான பிறகு, பேசாத படத்தில் நடித்து சாதனை படைத்தார் கமல். படத்திற்கு 'பேசும்படம்' என்றும் பெயர் வைத்தார்.! கமலின் திறமையை படம் பேசியது.
* சினிமாவில் பல நல்ல திறமையாளர்களைக் கண்டறிந்து ஊக்குவித்த பெருமை அவருக்குண்டு. சுரேஷ்கிருஷ்ணாவை 'சத்யா’ படத்தின் மூலம் இயக்குனராக்கினார். சத்யராஜ், நாசர், சந்தானபாரதி, கரண், டெல்லிகணேஷ் போன்றவர்களெல்லாம், கமலின் படங்களில் நடிப்பதையே பெருமையாகக் கொண்டவர்கள்.
* கமல் குடும்பத்தைச் சேர்ந்த அவரது அண்ணன் சாருஹாசனும், அவரது மகள் சுஹாசினியும், ஆக மூன்று பேருமே தேசிய விருது பெற்றவர்கள்.
* 'அந்தநாள்’ (இயக்கம் : வீணை பாலசந்தர்) படத்துக்குப் பிறகு பாடல்களே இல்லாத படம், 'கடமை, கண்ணியம், கட்டுப்பாடு'. சத்யராஜ் நடித்த இந்த படம் அவருக்கு பெயரையும் புகழையும், கூடவே அதுவரை பெற்றிறாத சம்பளத்தையும் பெற்றுத் தந்தது. இந்தப் படத்தைத் தயாரித்தவர் கமல்.
* கமல் மெட்ராஸ் பாஷை பேசி நடித்த படங்கள் 'சட்டம் என் கையில்’, 'அபூர்வ சகோதர்கள்’ ஆகிய படங்கள் மெகா ஹிட். மெட்ராஸ் பாஷை பேசும் விதத்தை லூஸ் மோகனிடம் கேட்டு அறிந்து கொண்டாராம்.
* கமலின் தந்தைக்கும் கமலுக்கும் உள்ள உறவு, தேர்ந்த இரு நண்பர்களுக்கு இடையே இருக்கும் நட்பைப் போன்றதாகவே இருந்தது. இருவரும் பரஸ்பரம் அதிகம் பேசிக் கொள்ளாவிட்டாலும், கமலின் உள்ளுணர்களை மிகத் துல்லியமாக புரிந்து கொண்டு பேசுவார் அவரது தந்தை சீனிவாசன்.
* கமல் திருவல்லிக்கேணி இந்து ஹைஸ்கூலில் படித்தவர்.
* களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா, ஆனந்த ஜோதி, பார்த்தால் பசி தீரும், பாதகாணிக்கை, வானம்பாடி ஆகிய 5 படங்களில் நடித்திருந்த நிலையில், கமலின் அப்பா சீனிவாசன், அவ்வை டி.கே. சண்முகம் அவர்களைப் பார்க்க வந்தார். 'சாருஹாசன், சந்திரஹாசன் இரண்டு பேரும் நல்லா படிக்கிறாங்க. இவனைத்தான், என்ன பண்றதுன்னு தெரியலை. படிப்பை விட கலைத் துறையில ஆர்வமா இருக்கான். அதனால உங்கக்கிட்டே கொண்டு வந்து விட்டேன்’ என்று கூறி, விட்டுச் சென்றார்.
* டி.கே.எஸ். நாடகக் குழுவில் கிடைத்த பயிற்சியால்தான், கமல் உச்சஸ்தாயில் பாட வேண்டிய பாடல்களைக் கூட சர்வ அலட்சியமாக அவரால் பாட முடிந்தது.
* கமலுக்கு தான் ஃபிலிம் இன்ஸ்ட்டியூட்டில் படிக்கவில்லையே என்ற ஏக்கம் உண்டு. அந்த ஏக்கமே அவரை சினிமாவின் அத்தனை தொழில்நுட்பங்களிலும் கை தேர்ந்தவராக உருவாக்கியது.
* நடிகனாக வேண்டும் என்ற ஆவலில் சினிமாத்துறைக்கு கமல் வரவில்லை, இயக்குநராக வேண்டும் என்ற ஆவலுடன் தான் திரைப்படத்துறைக்கு வந்தார். அவர் இயக்குநாரகி இருந்தால், நல்ல திரைப்படங்கள் கிடைத்திருக்கும். ஆனால் சிவாஜிக்கு பிறகு சிறந்த நடிகர் தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல, இந்திய சினிமாவுக்கே கிடைக்காமல் போயிருக்கும்.
* பாலசந்தர், பாரதிராஜா, பாலுமகேந்திரா, மணிரத்னம் என்று தமிழ்ச் சினிமாவின் சிறந்த இயக்குநர்களுடன் இணைந்து பணியாற்றிய கமல், என்ன காரணத்தினாலோ, இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரனுடன் பணியாற்ற முடியாமல் இருக்கிறது.
* தமிழ் சினிமாவில் முதன் முதலில் முத்தக் காட்சியில் நடித்தவர் என்ற 'பெருமை'யும் இவருக்கே உண்டு. படம்: 'சட்டம் என் கையில்'. அந்தக் காலத்தில் அதற்கு பயங்கர எதிர்ப்பு இருந்தது.
* கமலின் தந்தை சீனிவாசனின் உடல் தகனத்துக்காக மயானத்தில் வைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. கமலும் அவருக்கு நெருக்கமான உறவினர்கள், நண்பர்கள் மட்டுமே உடனிருக்கிறார்கள். இறுதிச் சடங்குகள் ஒவ்வொன்றாக நடக்கின்றன. சாருஹாசன், சந்திரஹாசன், கமலஹாசன் ஆகிய மூவரும் சிதையின் அருகில் நிற்கிறார்கள். திரும்பிப் பார்த்த கமல், 'அண்ணா நீங்களும் வாங்க’ என்று இருவரை அழைக்கிறார். அவர்கள், ஆர்.சி.சக்தி, ஸ்டண்ட் மாஸ்டர் கிருபா. அவர்களையும் கொள்ளி வைக்கச் சொல்கிறார் கமல். கதறி துடித்தபடியே அவர்களும் கொள்ளி வைக்கிறார்கள். 'தந்தையை நேசித்த நீங்கள் என் சகோதரர்களே ! '
* நாகேஷ், மனோரமா, வி.கே.ஆர். ஆகியோரிடம் மாறாத பாசம் கொண்டவர் கமல். தன்னுடைய தயாரிப்புகளில் தான் நடிக்கும் படங்களில் இவர்கள் இருப்பதை பெரிதும் விரும்புவார்.
* கே.பாலசந்தரின் படங்களில் ஏராளமாக கமல் நடித்தார். அவர் பட்டறையில் அவர் நடித்த படங்கள் எல்லாம் வித்தியாசமான பரிமாணங்களை கொண்டவை. 'மை டியர் ராஸ்கல்’ என்று விளித்துதான் கே.பி. அவர்கள் கமலுக்கு கடிதம் எழுதுவார்.
* கமல், குழந்தை நட்சத்திரமாக, டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டராக, பாடகராக, கதாசிரியராக, திரைக்கதை ஆசிரியராக, வசனகர்த்தாவாக, இயக்குநராக, கதாநாயகனாக, வில்லனாக என்று பல அவதாரங்களை திரைப்படத்துறையில் எடுத்தவர். பிலிம்ஃபேர் விருதை பத்து முறைக்கு மேல் வாங்கிய ஒரே இந்திய நடிகர் கமல்.
* எண்பதுகளின் மத்தியில் 'மய்யம்’ என்ற பத்திரிகையும், இவரது நற்பணி இயக்கத்தினரால் தொடங்கி நடத்தப்பட்டது. இப்போது 'மய்யம்' என்ற தனது இணையதளத்தினை கமல் நடத்தி வருகிறார்.
* எழுத்தாளர் சுஜாதா, சந்தானபாரதி, அனந்து, ஆர்.சி.சக்தி, ஆகியோர் கமலுக்கு மிகவும் நெருக்கமான நண்பர்கள். இவர்களிடம் கதை குறித்த விவாதங்கள், நவீன சினிமாவைப் பற்றிய விமர்சனங்களை காரசாரமாக எடுத்து வைப்பார்.

கமல் என்னும் கலைஞன் !
http://cinema.vikatan.com/uploaded/29kamalhassans.jpg
படிப்படியாக போராடிப் போராடித் தான் கமல் திரைத்துறையில் முன்னேறி வருகிறார். கமலைப் பற்றிய சின்னச் சின்ன தகவல்கள்.. உங்களுக்காக..
கமலுக்கு சினிமா சென்டிமென்டுகளில் எப்போதுமே நம்பிக்கை கிடையாது. ' ஹே ராம்' படத்தின் தொடக்க காட்சியில், முதல் வசனமே இப்படித்தான் இருக்கும்... " சாகேத்ராம்.. This is Pack up Time ! "
* நடிகர்கள் பெண் வேடமிட்டு திரையில் தோன்றுவது அவ்வப்போது நிகழக் கூடியது தான். அவையெல்லாம் ஒரு சில காட்சிகள் தான் இருக்கும். ஆனால், கமல்ஹாசன்தான், தமிழ்த் திரையில் படத்தின் பெரும்பகுதி பெண் வேடமிட்டு நடித்தார். சிறுவயதில் தான் குருகுல வாசம் செய்த அவ்வை டி.கே.எஸ்.நாடகக் குழுவின் மேல் கொண்ட பற்றினாலும், குருவின் மேல் கொண்ட பக்தியினாலும், தனது படத்திற்கு 'அவ்வை சண்முகி’ என்றே பெயர் வைத்தார்.
* எம்.ஜி.ஆருக்கு ' நான் ஏன் பிறந்தேன் ' திரைப்படத்திலும், ஜெயலலிதாவுக்கு 'அன்பு தங்கை' படத்திலும், சிவாஜிக்கு 'சவாலே சமாளி' படத்திலும் டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டராக பணியாற்றி இருக்கிறார். அப்போது எம்.ஜி.ஆருக்கு சிவாஜிக்குரிய நடன அசைவுகளை வைக்க, 'குறும்புக்காரா...’ என்று செல்லமாக எம்.ஜி.ஆர். கோபித்தார்.
* கமலுக்கு திரைப்படங்களைப் பார்ப்பதை விட அதீத ஆர்வம் புத்தகங்களை வாசிப்பதில் உண்டு. இதிகாசங்களில் இருந்து, நவீன இலக்கியங்கள் வரை எல்லாவற்றிலும் புகுந்து புறப்பட்டு வருவார். அதேபோல் திரைப்படத்துறையின் லேட்டஸ்ட் தொழில் நுட்பங்களை விரல் நுனியில் வைத்திருப்பார்.
* " ரஜினியும் நானும் கிளாஸ்மெட் மாதிரி. இன்னும் சொல்லப் போனால், ஒரே பெஞ்ச்மெட். கே.பாலசந்தர் என்கிற பள்ளியில் ஒன்றாகப் படித்தவர்கள் என்ற பாசம் எங்களிடையே உண்டு. எனினும், கபில்தேவ், இம்ரான்கான் மாதிரி ஆரோக்கியமான போட்டியும் உண்டு " என்று சொல்வார்.
* பேசும் சினிமா வந்து ஐம்பத்தைந்து ஆண்டுகளான பிறகு, பேசாத படத்தில் நடித்து சாதனை படைத்தார் கமல். படத்திற்கு 'பேசும்படம்' என்றும் பெயர் வைத்தார்.! கமலின் திறமையை படம் பேசியது.
* சினிமாவில் பல நல்ல திறமையாளர்களைக் கண்டறிந்து ஊக்குவித்த பெருமை அவருக்குண்டு. சுரேஷ்கிருஷ்ணாவை 'சத்யா’ படத்தின் மூலம் இயக்குனராக்கினார். சத்யராஜ், நாசர், சந்தானபாரதி, கரண், டெல்லிகணேஷ் போன்றவர்களெல்லாம், கமலின் படங்களில் நடிப்பதையே பெருமையாகக் கொண்டவர்கள்.
* கமல் குடும்பத்தைச் சேர்ந்த அவரது அண்ணன் சாருஹாசனும், அவரது மகள் சுஹாசினியும், ஆக மூன்று பேருமே தேசிய விருது பெற்றவர்கள்.
* 'அந்தநாள்’ (இயக்கம் : வீணை பாலசந்தர்) படத்துக்குப் பிறகு பாடல்களே இல்லாத படம், 'கடமை, கண்ணியம், கட்டுப்பாடு'. சத்யராஜ் நடித்த இந்த படம் அவருக்கு பெயரையும் புகழையும், கூடவே அதுவரை பெற்றிறாத சம்பளத்தையும் பெற்றுத் தந்தது. இந்தப் படத்தைத் தயாரித்தவர் கமல்.
* கமல் மெட்ராஸ் பாஷை பேசி நடித்த படங்கள் 'சட்டம் என் கையில்’, 'அபூர்வ சகோதர்கள்’ ஆகிய படங்கள் மெகா ஹிட். மெட்ராஸ் பாஷை பேசும் விதத்தை லூஸ் மோகனிடம் கேட்டு அறிந்து கொண்டாராம்.
* கமலின் தந்தைக்கும் கமலுக்கும் உள்ள உறவு, தேர்ந்த இரு நண்பர்களுக்கு இடையே இருக்கும் நட்பைப் போன்றதாகவே இருந்தது. இருவரும் பரஸ்பரம் அதிகம் பேசிக் கொள்ளாவிட்டாலும், கமலின் உள்ளுணர்களை மிகத் துல்லியமாக புரிந்து கொண்டு பேசுவார் அவரது தந்தை சீனிவாசன்.
* கமல் திருவல்லிக்கேணி இந்து ஹைஸ்கூலில் படித்தவர்.
* களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா, ஆனந்த ஜோதி, பார்த்தால் பசி தீரும், பாதகாணிக்கை, வானம்பாடி ஆகிய 5 படங்களில் நடித்திருந்த நிலையில், கமலின் அப்பா சீனிவாசன், அவ்வை டி.கே. சண்முகம் அவர்களைப் பார்க்க வந்தார். 'சாருஹாசன், சந்திரஹாசன் இரண்டு பேரும் நல்லா படிக்கிறாங்க. இவனைத்தான், என்ன பண்றதுன்னு தெரியலை. படிப்பை விட கலைத் துறையில ஆர்வமா இருக்கான். அதனால உங்கக்கிட்டே கொண்டு வந்து விட்டேன்’ என்று கூறி, விட்டுச் சென்றார்.
* டி.கே.எஸ். நாடகக் குழுவில் கிடைத்த பயிற்சியால்தான், கமல் உச்சஸ்தாயில் பாட வேண்டிய பாடல்களைக் கூட சர்வ அலட்சியமாக அவரால் பாட முடிந்தது.
* கமலுக்கு தான் ஃபிலிம் இன்ஸ்ட்டியூட்டில் படிக்கவில்லையே என்ற ஏக்கம் உண்டு. அந்த ஏக்கமே அவரை சினிமாவின் அத்தனை தொழில்நுட்பங்களிலும் கை தேர்ந்தவராக உருவாக்கியது.
* நடிகனாக வேண்டும் என்ற ஆவலில் சினிமாத்துறைக்கு கமல் வரவில்லை, இயக்குநராக வேண்டும் என்ற ஆவலுடன் தான் திரைப்படத்துறைக்கு வந்தார். அவர் இயக்குநாரகி இருந்தால், நல்ல திரைப்படங்கள் கிடைத்திருக்கும். ஆனால் சிவாஜிக்கு பிறகு சிறந்த நடிகர் தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்கு மட்டுமல்ல, இந்திய சினிமாவுக்கே கிடைக்காமல் போயிருக்கும்.
* பாலசந்தர், பாரதிராஜா, பாலுமகேந்திரா, மணிரத்னம் என்று தமிழ்ச் சினிமாவின் சிறந்த இயக்குநர்களுடன் இணைந்து பணியாற்றிய கமல், என்ன காரணத்தினாலோ, இயக்குனர் மகேந்திரனுடன் பணியாற்ற முடியாமல் இருக்கிறது.

AFAIK, any tax paying Company, unless it is a publicly listed one, need not reveal its balance sheet to the public (non shareholders). And RKFI has not revealed the BO collection figures of any of its productions till date, and since the Co is not going public anytime in the near future, I dont expect KH/RKFI to reveal the official collection figures.

Kalyanji, enna pesureenga?! entha kaalathula an TFI Company has published its balance sheet, public co or not?! But the most official and trustable one is a producer himself saying the indicative figures. thats the best we can get. And if you ask how that can be trusted, the only way is to see if any other one is saying that those figures are fake. Like what TFU Kannan today said about Tuppakki and Maatraan. Also, for a high budget film with record breaking collections, most of the time, media will come out trying to agree or disagree those numbers said by the producers. Originally Posted by kalyan
So the producer has to announce an approx figure, industry/media has to either confirm it or atleast remain silent, and decently wide report from media saying that the film has broke records(even if that articles won't mention any numbers)
And given these days, with such a intricate monitoring done by so many medias and industry ppls, if one is lying, its mostly brought out. Thats all we can get about BO and the situation is, athu nadanthaale periya vishayam!
wrt theaters, Multiplexes in chennai are on their own coming out to tell their numbers for weekend or opening week etc. thats a welcome trend.

Actually no public company would report an inflated figure in their financial statements. So the 180C should be accurate. In this day and age, for a big hit in the South, this is not out of reach. This could also be one reason why KH has made a big investment on VR because the numbers work out for a big hit Originally Posted by Cinefan

Since Raajjaa started to compare VR and Endhiran, I just wanted to bring some observation from here. Originally Posted by Raajjaa
Last 7 days (from 11 the day of release to 18th day), VR collected 2.35 crores including weekend collection less than one crore which is again almost 50% reduction from previous weekend. On the other hand, endhiran had collected at same period (from 10 the day of release to 17th day) 3.5 crores including weekend collection of 1.67 crores which is mere 10 percent reduction from previous weekend. For VR, one of the reasons could be that AB had really affected VR especially last weekend. However, if you look weekday collection, VR, during weekday, collected less than endhiran (1.44 C Vs. 1.9C). This clearly shows that the reduction in revenue for VR at present is much steeper.
If you do the same comparison for 2nd weekend (between 4th day to 10th day of release), one could see that endhiran had collected 4.27C whereas VR collected 4.11C. Also, the reduction in endhiran’s collection from 1st weekend to 2nd weekend is mere 9% percent which means that the movie was rock solid at 2nd and third week. Also endhiran opening weekend collection is less than 12 percent of total collection (17 crores). If you compare this with other contemporary movies, one could see the percentage is much higher than endhiran due to lack of long run. One of the reasons is due to exceptional growth in cinema economics in recent time and hence opening weekend growth is much faster than total collection of a movie.
Now it sums that endhiran put hefty numbers in the chart not only due to bigger opening (at the time) but also in long run.
For anyone who wants cross check the endhiran numbers.

The hubbers now, most of them are matured. We kamal fans are not afraid or feel bad to agree if VR is less than Robo in BO. Same time, we have no confusion in announcing that there are hand ful of places where Robo records are broken. So still we are in middle of that and as kamal fans, we are most bold enuf to handle any situation. Actually there is nothing enuf to feel bad about VR BO!
Even Rajaram, atleast this time, put it decently and didn't kaiya pudichi izhuthufy or talk needless words

Please don't compare VR and Robo or for that matter Kamal with Rajini .One wants to experiment and the other is concerned only about commercial success . Both are legends in their own right and cannot be replaced easily like MGR and Sivaji these are legends that cannot be replaced. Period.

why nobody is talking about the huge investment difference between endhiran and vr? the basic math is investment+ promo exp - overall revenue = profit or loss. where does e and vr stand at this juncture? so it is toooooo early to compare.

Inspite of the new releases, Kamal Haasan`s Vishwaroopam is holding on very well in its third week at the CBO. It is the number one at the CBO.
Jayam Ravi`s Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan which released this week carries mixed reports and is at the number two position. In the third place is the Bruce Willis actioner in English and Tamil, A Good Day To Die Hard.
And in the fourth place is Vanayudham and at number five is Haridas which is getting good reviews.

ennoda personal experience in mpls/st.paul ... dasa was the highest turn around ever.... i know a lot of things contribute to the crowd. this is a cold place and the films get released in the same dabba theatre for the last 10 years.hence it is easy to gauge the kootam.
enthiran came in oct - start of winter,sivaji and chandramuki came in summer and spring...so the crowd was higher for these.
dasa - same as sivaji - summer start - humongous.highest turn around on a single day.
longest run with good crowd - thuppaki i thot had a fantastic run...3 weeks...but looks like those were deals with the theatre to show it for certain number of days.when i went the third week....i was the only 1 in theatre. only english movie i hv seen liek that on first day - alone max payne
VR on the contrary - both tamil and telgu version running on their fifth week and still around 20 % occupancy in teh theatre ..thats the first day kootam for other actor (non rajni,kamal,(and highly expected surya,ajit,vijay))movies. i agree things wud be different in other cities...but atleast if each of us in the hubs can come up with a fair - true to heart experiences we can gauge the news if they are buruda's or true.

why we dont have official tamil box office site just like bollywood box office? in the later they consider only hindi movies, that too 'agmark' hindi, not south based star's. many tamil movies cross the bench mark to be included in the so called '100 c club' regularly but they report only 'khans'. Even vr will not be listed there despite crossing 200c. very irritating that is.

In Coimbatore area the number of screens VR released and running is unprecedented.. It is a dream cum true for many fans to see it released in KG, Ganga, Archana and Central all are big theaters. Normally a big movie will be released in any of these 2 screens.. In Pollachi and Udumalpet it got released in 3 theaters each(udumalpet Lathangi is not mentioned in ad but it was screened there as well)... Surely it is a record and the every one will be surprised once the collection figures are revealed...

Actually these guys r insult to rajni and his BO pull!
Also, looking at the way they described Life Of Pi, Visharoopam also is similarly betting only on content and now the BO records are also becos of content only no?! So in a way they are promoting Content based movies
And regarding the BO related doubts they have, if they really has guts and real sources let them openly come and prove that all the BO info abt Vishwa is false. Else they shud shud up. But they wont. They will keep on try to pull VR's BO records.
They wrote about Adhi bagavan, saying that the no of theatres is a record for that film and it replaced VR in many centers(which is not true) Had if that film been slightly better, இவிங்க புரொமோட் பண்ணியே படத்த ஓடவெச்சிருப்பாங்க. Also they says that "உலகத்தரம் ன்னா என்னன்னு தெரியணும்னா ஹரிதாஸ் படத்தை பாருங்க, தமிழர்கள் மட்டமான படத்தையெல்லாம் உலகத்தரம்னு கொண்டாடுவது கவலை அளிக்கிறது" As if they are the authority of WorldClass Cinema.

However, Mitra was keen that I write a book on Kamal Hassan. A great idea on paper, but how feasible would that be? Will the superstar give me time to talk to him without which a biography or any book on him will not be possible?
Here is one fact to vindicate my apprehension. For the past three months, I have been trying to talk to Kamal, and, of course, I do not have his mobile number. My innumerable calls to his PRO, Nikhil Murugan, did not help. I was repeatedly told that “Sir” was busy, but my message had been delivered and that he would get back to me.
Last week, when I phoned Murugan for the enth time, he was apologetic but helpless. He said that “Sir” was ill and in bed for 20 days, and was not taking any calls. Not even from his close associates and frien Get well soon Sir! Hope he had, already!

That's why when you see less difference in #s while comparing in USD than in GBP. That’s what I said earlier exchange rates plays pivotal role in collection.

it lets one contemplate abt the choices life often gives a person in terms of circumstances and the eventual choice one makes from those, without being even remotely preachy;
its also a great film for the nuances in special effects that do not look forced, but just half real and half fantasy to run parallel to the possibility of the protagonist perhaps dreaming up his story - note, he narrates one version and the insurance agents/story writer are allowed to accept a version that suits them individually; that goes for the audience as well.
its visual poetry done with as much intelligence as one would get to see in any other well-made film.
there is no real 'hero' who smashes up 100 bad guys or stops an alien ship from invading the earth and saving mankind, or, anything similar.
its abt a very ordinary boy with a determination to survive against all odds - not much different from a crucial 30-40 odd runs a tailender batsman scores to save a series winning test match in an India-Pakistan or Australia-England game.
its abt character, personality and content - all of which were present in abundance, without any of the characters onscreen wearing them on their sleeves.
and most importantly 'life of pi' does not have a single bankable/saleable star from hollywood ! except maybe Irfan Khan who is known in the indie film circuits more than mainstream hollywood (he did the last 'spiderman'), there is not a single star from mainstream hollywood featured in the film.
and a tiger, a zebra, an orangutan and a hyena along with meerkats in a remote island, make up the other characters - that such a film is lauded and highly reviewed by critics as well as the film fraternity is testimony that Hollywood for all its pretentiousness, does keeps its spirit of welcoming creativity alive.
Ang Lee is the star, the director - its a directors/ scriptwriters film, period - in a way, the film's core reminded me vaguely of a Jayakanthan novel/story from my high school days.
each to his/her own - solraennu thappaa yeduthhukkaadheenga - the kind of films we make and get to see in tamil are so lopsidedly mediocre in terms of the no of films and the money spent on them, we shd be happy that we even get a chance to watch films like this.

மின்னலே,ஆட்டோ கிராப்,பருத்தி வீரன், விண்ணைத்தாண்டி வருவாயா எல்லாம் பிப்ரவரி மாத்தில் தான் திரையிடப்பட்டது.
13 வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பு இதே பிப்ரவரி மாதத்தில் தான் ஹே ராம் படம் வெளி வந்தது.அப்பொழுது படங்கள் எல்லாம் மதுரையில் 2 தியேட்டர்களில் தான் திரையிடப்படும். படம் வந்த 4வது நாளில் கூட்டம் இல்லை.
ஹேராம், விஸ்வரூபம் இரண்டுமே ஒரே மாதிரியான படங்கள் தான்.
ஒரே வித்தியாசம் என்னவென்றால் விஸ்வரூபத்தில் சப்-டைட்டில் இருந்தது.
மதுரையில் 6 தியேட்டர்களில் வெளியாகி 18 நாட்கள் ஆன பின்பும் சனிக் கிழமை படத்திற்கு டிக்கெட் கிடைக்கவில்லை.

Guys
Please get the facts right. 200 crores gross will give share of only between 105-110 crores at the max. So I don't have problem in accepting that. If you guys remember it correct Kamal initially wanted this movie to gross 350 crores and that would have give him the profit of around 95 crores and share of around 190 crores. I know for sure that Endhiran and 3 idiots collected more than 300 crores as gross. with 200 crores Vishwaroopam is marginally profitable.

TA, i am not very sure to believe on Enthiran 300 crores thing. That film has maximum news on loss info to theater owners and distributors(though that is still staying the top grosser, which no one can deny) Coming to VR, yes it may not be profitble to kamal but now the point is its gross 200C. Kamal already lost around 20C in delay. now Malaysia is releasing and UAE still not releasing. Still hindi version overseas didn't release. There where other issues too. so i think kamal can see profit only in VR2 if he had shot the costly portions already. But let me wish he gets profits, if not, atleast his investment + interest.

tamizh, thanks for reminding another point to consider, yes, VR don't have the TN govt's tax waiver which is given to all movies. Neerparavai too didn't het it but its low budget.
That reminds me that even Dasa didn't get the then TN govt's concession since dasavatharam was not a pure tamil name. Though Sivaaji the boss too wasn't tamil but it got waiver.
Now, VR won't get waiver but again that reduces kamal's profit and gross won't come in picture for this.
Coming to Enthiran Gross, i am not gonna talk abt it here, except one thing. Gross of each film depends on its own content and the situation of the release. Some times even the political power of the producer who makes the film! But u cannot say that if i trust VR's numbers then i shud trust Enthirans too! Both are different films and the reason why i doubt enthiran's gross is totally a separate reason. not now...

I never thought this would become endhiran vs VR again. That was the reason I mentioned both endhiran and 3 idiots. Anyway coming back to VR
There were several things which worked for and against VR. May be negative things more. I still believe that Kamal would make profit on this movie. Because of the timing and non-release of certain countries might have resulted in a loss of 50 crores gross. As I said earlier my biggest complaint was its mediocre run in AP and North India. May be they are not ready for VR kind of movies yet. I am also surprised by the fact that VR did run extraordinarily in parts other than chennai in Tamil Nadu. I thought it would cross 15 crores in chennai but I don't think that is the case now.

Endhiran had a great run in andhra by collecting distributor share of close to 40C. If a dubbed movie collects 40 crores for distributors, the gross collection should be around 70C. Otherwise, the math does not work. As we all know, Dubbed movies have to pay higher tax than original Telugu movies. As decan chronicle was reporting, the dubbed movies in Andhra pay about 20 percent and it varies depends on the territory. As you see the theaters in rural area pays less than their counter parts in cities. Endhiran collected huge amount in NIZAM area, including Hyderabad. Then it had to pay higher tax. I'm not sure what was written in the contract between Theatre owners and Distributors in sharing their net collection (Gross-O&M cost-Tax). Some would say 50:50 or 60:40 etc.... For the conservative purpose, if you consider the distributor gets 70% of Net revenue and theatre owners gets rest of the money (30%). As you assume less share to distributors, the gross collection will go much higher…..For time being, I do not even include O&M cost in NET revenue......One can recalculate the gross collection from those assumptions. Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

That’s what TA mentioned, if the share is 100C then the gross should be 200C. I just gave more details in the relationship between share and Gross. But my numbers were in lower side.
if you change the assumptions and percent share for distributors like sensitivity test, the gross collection would be in the range of 65-80C.....Which is huge for a dubbed movies.....This is one of the unprecedented amount in total collection.....In addition, Eros reported endhiran collected about 61C in overseas..... These two territories jointly collected close to 130C. That's why the numbers for endhiran close to or more than 300C.

That said, it is better to look forward. Do we all feel that KH should engage in another costly film which takes another 2 years? Even VR-2 likely will take some time, although officialy the word is that it will be completed before year-end, it is highly doubtful.
Because of this reason (high budget/long time taken etc), I feel KH and Osbourne collaboration will never happen.

Another key question to ask is: Should KH make another movie for the North Indian market? The 20C gross collection is relatively small. Is it worth the effort?
Of course, he got a a lot of positive recognition that could likely open some interesting future possibilities. But on the vasool front, I am baffled that ABCD collected more. I just don't get it.

The controversy became a national issue at the time and it helped with the collection. Plus, most reviews were postive citing that it was an accessible KH movie without any self-indulgence after a long time. I'm sure Balaji bought the movie for less knowing it will gross on par with Robot's overall NI collection. (22 C). If they're happy, then yes, he is doing Part 2 in Hindi as well.

Nick, some actions scenes where shot in Mumbai. But no one knows how much where shot. And that Afghan portions in VR2 shud actually be used only to say to the viewers how he escaped frm there. not much. And mostly no US portions. It shud be mostly a new story, with some 10% of its screen time joining the dots left over in Part1. Only then it will work. If it depends too much about explaining Part 1 then it wont be more accesible for all.
Reg that bollywood thing, i guess it is very close to Endhiran Hindi, and that too considering hindi version didn't release in overseas. Being an eccentric theme, still it had good audience means, the more he does films which are not rooted to TN, the more he gets new audience! In that way, VR is a markable success for kamal in hindi, after AppuRaja/Hindustani/Chachi420. He shud continue this trend!

On a similar note, Seeman came here and spoke at a meet dividing the Indians here by asking for Tamil to be made supreme.
We are already a fragmented society and cannot afford further divisions.
People must understand that there is no Tamil cause here; they are Indian causes.
Tamil schools is a Indian cause that is supported by our Telugu & Malayalam brothers. Similarly Eelam issues and even Viswaroopam issues.
see here for context: http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/cat...g-the-divided/
Bottomline is, the situations in TN and Malaysia are very different.

75% of Indians in Malaysia are Tamils. The rest are telugu, malayalee, punjabi, sindhi, gujerati. (most tamil muslims don't fall in Indian category but consider themselves Malays)Ok, how abt the telugu/mallu population? are they high or they too like tamils?!
Total Indian population is 7% of Malaysia's population, ie about 2 million people out of 28 million. 90% or more of Indian population can speak/understand Tamil.
The four official languages used in Malaysia are Malay, English, Mandarin & Tamil.
Huh? more what? There is almost zero Hindi here. Some Hindi movies do play but cannot even earn 1/10th revenue of an average Tamil film.Hindi is more right?!
As for the population, there is a sprinkling of sindhis and gujeratis. But practically there is no Hindi penetration.
Originally yes... but now there are a lot of Indian (non Tamil) citizens too.I guess Singapore has more tamil count than the total rest of indians
But Singapore is tiny compare to Malaysia. The Tamil population in Malaysia is only slightly smaller than the entire Singapore population (citizens).
p/s: When I say Indian, it does not mean Indian citizens, but Malaysians of Indian descent (2nd, 3rd, 4th generation Malaysians.)

Why this constant comparison with Endhiran as if it is the benchmark. Endhiran is a dubbed movie and it makes sense to release in Hindi, considering the overall effort to dub which would be small. Moreover, the premise behind Rajini's movies are quite different from that of KH's. So, no point comparing the two. The important thing is, in spite of not being an out and out commercial movie, VR(am) is a grand success. But, for the effort of making a straight hindi movie with a cast almost entirely made up of Bollywood actors, Vishwaroop cannot be termed as a big success.

கமல் + ரஹ்மான்+ ஷங்கர் கூட்டணி இருந்தால் படம் எந்த அளவு வெற்றி பெறும் என்று ஏற்கனவே நிரூபிக்கப்பட்டுவிட்டது. அந்த சாதனையை இன்று வரை எந்த நடிகராலும் முறியடிக்கப்படவில்லை.

kumarsr, yes the effort is humongous and almost nobody in bollywood seemed to take a not of it. kamal cearly said hindi vishwaroop is a separate/different movie! But i didn't see any hindi specific things mentioned and praised in reviews from there. Only our sagaas who watched it said some things were different and even much nicer than tamil version!
but though inspite of all this great effort, we just need to see the penetration, in the end. We are not in the luxury of caring if its a easily, dubbed one or hard worked bilingual. all we need is to get more and more new audience. for that the film, with all its intellectual stuff needs to be universal and not rooted to TN.
Even by ur strategy, compare VR with kamal's past efforts to Hindi. U will get the point

Time for Kamal to accept that he has very little box-office pull in Hindi market and move on. IMO, whatever Vishwaroop generated was due to the ban controversy. Those who saw it liked it but not many people came to watch it. Not surprising. Actors of his age / period, like Rishi Kapoor, Mithun, Jackie Shroff, etc., have no box-office clout now and are all doing minor support roles.
If he really wanted to make a mark in the Hindi market, he should have acted in movies made by the Hindi industry - multi-starrers, secondary hero roles and guest appearances. In that case, he would have stayed in memory and his solo hero movies would have had some chance. Age is not on his side to make a comeback. After a movie like Mumbai Express (what was he thinking!!), he should be happy with what Vishwaroop collected.
Cast of Vishwaroop - Other than Kamal, the rest of the actors are not popular in Tamil or Hindi. It may be called a Hindi movie but the Hindi audience is probably thinking that most of the actors are Tamil folks while Tamil audience is thinking that most of the actors are Hindi folks!

But Bollywood does surprise us ...with a very good movie like 'Special 26' or a 'Wednesday' from time to time...
Also agree that for Kamal to regain some lost footing in Bollywood....it may be better for him to work with the likes Naseer or Om Puri...or even the Big B...in multi starrers...
I don't think any South Indian star...is as respected as Kamal in Bollywood...i believe he needs the right collaboration...It will be better than going Solo ...I think
And Sakala...I would strongly agree that the Hindi version was better than the Tamil.

Kamal Hassan outshines Salman-Shahrukh at Box Office
Vishwaroopam
It has to be noted that only Rajinikanth's Sivaji, Endhiran and Vijay starrer Thuppakki have crossed the 100-crore mark till date and Vishwaroopam is the first Tamil film to reach the 200-crore mark in Tamil film industry.
It is a proud moment for Tamil film industry as Kamal Hassan's Vishwaroopam has made every film industry to turn towards the Kollywood with surprise. More importantly, the Universal Star has set a new record at the Box Office that has outshone the records of Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan, the two Box Office Kings of India.
Tamil film Vishwaroopam has written a new record at the Box Office as the film has earned Rs 200crores. It has to be noted that a regional film reaching this mark is a huge achievement considering the limited market for Tamil films. A trader said, "Bollywood movies crossing 200 crore is not a big deal any more, as it has got a worldwide market."
"Every film of a Bollywood A-list star in the recent years has joined 200-Cr Club. Dabangg, Ra.One , etc., have crossed the mark and almost every good film has done 100 crorein the B-Town.
But when it comes to Tamil films, achieving 100 croresitself is a tough task and this movie of Kamal Hassan has done 200 crore, which is the biggest moment of Kollywood. In fact, this feat of a regional film is bigger than the records of Bollywood superstar," he added.
The news of Vishwaroopam doing Rs 200 crores has been revealed by Pooja Kumar, the female lead of the movie. Recently, the actress broke the news at a concert in New Jersey.

Nuances in Vishwaroopam
February 28, 2013 by karthik S
Now, it can be safe to assume that almost all would have seen Vishwaroopam. Alongside critical technical acclaim, it has grossed numbers that only people could dream of. To gross such figures, a movie needs to be commercial so that it could reach all segments. Is Vishwaroopam really a commercial movie? At first glance, many would say “Yes”. But that’s where the smart and suave Kamal Haasan has handled it with dexterity. In essence, the actual backbone of the movie is the Afghan frames. But having it for the whole length of 2.5 hrs with a huge overdose of subtitles would have been a risky proposition, though it would have been a real treat for the purists. That’s where the Kathak dancer Kamal and the RAW agent Kamal make it a really engrossing movie for all classes. Despite this, the movie has an enormous number of nuances which makes it a really classy movie. Most of the scenes have an underlying thought or aspect which could be noticed only if watched carefully. I have herewith consolidated a whole list of nuances observed by me and my friends. After reading this, I know for sure you would be tempted to revisit the movie again as it happens with all Kamal Haasan movies.
Theme based Nuances
1) Kamal Haasan mentioned in an interview that the one liner of this story was an inspiration from Virata Parva of the Mahabharata. If we try to relate it now, in fact, Wisam’s character is a mix of the mythological Arjuna (who, transforming into a eunuch in Virata’s Kingdom, is an acclaimed dance-exponent) and Bhima (who is a great cook, and so is Wiz in this film). His uncle/boss Shekhar Kapoor is a bit of a mentor, much like Krishna to Arjuna. And, Mr. Kapoor is aptly named Jagannath (another name by which Krishna is known)!
2) If we observe the movie carefully, it has a very subtle take on Money Laundering
- In the scene before Taufeeq introduction, we can see Opium plants (they are not rose plants). Taufeeq says he is a farmer and hands over Abin as gift to Wisam. The safe inference is that drug peddling is one of the main source of funds for Jihadi operations. Afghanistan is one of the biggest illicit producer of Opium which previously played a major part in the economy of Taliban
- This money finds its way through banking system of less monitored countries like Nigeria, Yemen and the currency is routed to countries like US outside the banking system – One example is the Deep Research Oncology accounts, many of the accounts are imaginary customer names (not actual customers who buy equipments)- So fake orders are created and the drug money is routed to US
- One other way of routing money is through cash outside the banking system as shown by Deepak in the scene where they hide it in the safe
In the same scene, if we observe carefully, the pellet is tied to the pigeon’s legs. So the radiation exposure through pigeon has been even exposed in the first scene itself.
4) First dialogue of The Godfather – I: ” I believe in America; America has given me fortune”
First dialogue of Vishwaroopam: ” I believe in America; Inga dhan enakku vimojanam nu thonithu”; Indicates the extent to which Mr Haasan loves Godfather
Nuances relating to Vish (Kathak dancer sequences)
1) When Nirupama meets the psychologist in the first scene, she asks “Please talk me about phd” and she says “Ur phd”- This indirectly conveys that Vish also might have got a phd (or they think so)!
2) The name Vis: Nirupama calls Vishwanath as “Vis” and says that everyone calls so and hence she also calls the same, thinking it to be the short form of Vishwanath, But in fact it is short form of Wizam; The name Vishwanath has been intentionally chosen by Kamal so that even if people call him by his real name, still he would not be in trouble
3) Effeminate: In the whole Kathak dancer Kamal scenes, his effeminate quality is even brought out better through the following dialogues. When he picks the phone, he always says “”Mrs. and Mr. Vishwanath’s residence”.
As an extension of that, he says while cooking meat: “Manavaatiye Manaalan-in baagyam” as opposed to the traditional “Manaalane Mangayin Baagyam
Also its very clear when Deepak says athaan daily saapuraye avar samayale that Niru continues to xploit him for being effeminate by using him every possible way and this substantiates the marriage of convenience statement further!
4) In the “Unnai Kaanathu song”, there are 2 shots – one from other side of glass and the other some distance away- In both the cases, the audio’s volume would reduce, such a brilliant practical take! During the line ‘Vidhai illaamal Vaer illaye’ in Unnai kaaanada song, Vish imitates DNA structure with his fingers.
5) Statue: In Wiz/Vishwanaths residence we can see a black two sided statue, with one side as king and the other side as queen. In the kathak sequence, the statue is placed against the mirror showing both sides of the statue in the same frame. It represents the role of Wiz in the movie- with double identities Effeminate dancer and as the RAW agent
6) The season shown in the movie is Winter, with all scenes co relating it- Be it snow in window pane of Vish, the girls after practice putting on their jerkins/coats; in the same scene Vish asks them to close the door when leaving and not give him pneumonia as a guru datshanai, Vish comes freezing inside the home when Deepak is inside , All characters wear winter clothings, The warehouse patients ask Farooq and team to close the door when Vish and Niru are dragged inside.
7) In the Obama Democratic National Convention speech video, Obama says “Taliban’s momentum has been broken” indicating Osama’ death. Below you see a news flash saying “petroleum prices increased by 3%”. Fantastic satire
8) In the initial dinner scene where Colonel Jag comes, Asmita asks Kamal “ Nirupama dinnerku varamattaanu Akashvani sollucha?” and Kamal tells “Exactly” indicating that they used radio technology for bugging Nirupama’s office; In the same sequence, the MI6 agent Dawkins says “Hope it doesn’t turn out to be a wet job tomorrow”. In secret service (CIA/MI6/KGB) terms, wet job means murder or assassination. Infact, the MI6 agent Dawkins might be Kamal Haasan’s tribute to Richard Dawkins, a prominent biologist and author who is highly respected by rationalists
9) We can see detective Peter’s visiting card lying next to the monitor in which Omar see’s Wisam’s photo. The card was last seen by Omar only.
10) In the scene where they are taken to the warehouse, Farooq asks Niru wat her husband’s real name is for which she replies Farooq, this is because in the previous scene, Deepak asks her why she sent her detective to Farooq’s place, an example of instant recollection of names based on what we hear some time before!
11) Brood from the past: In the warehouse and the scene before when asked for his name, Wizam quotes his name as “Taufeeq” and “Nasser”, these are the names from his dark past and for whose death he is responsible for and the guilt profoundly impacts Wizam that he recollects their name instantly.
12) Transformation Scene nuances: The whole transformation scene (first action sequence) of Vish has been pictured between the moment two water drops fall from the wall. Nirupama is in a state of shock when she sees it all happening in a moment but then recollects all events happening between the fall of two water drops.
13) Before the transformation scene, Vish wears a yellow top and suddenly you see him wearing a checked one with yellow top almost removed and he falls down to the floor
Its a very obvious reference that Farooq and other guys keep beating him and his yellow top is torn- they wanted to shorten this sequence
14) Farooq is hurt in knuckles by Wisam’s teeth when he tries to hit him on his face. This is the reason why Farooq is not able to hold the gun properly and get a clean shot at Vish when he transforms and attacks Farooq’s men.
15) Salim tells Farooq to shoot Wizam in his legs. Then later he instructs Farooq to kill Deepak. “Illai illai…mudikka sollittaaru”. At this point Deepak asks “naan polaamdhane?” for which Farooq smiles. We don’t hear what Salim says but it is apparent that he instructs Farooq to shoot Deepak, as he ends the call with “kaal-la illai…thalaila”. I bet many of you would have missed this last line
16) And just like how Wizam says “ketta kudiye kedum”, Farooq whose hand is already injured, gets his hand chopped off as well.
17) In the scene where Vish tells Nirupama to hear 2 gunshots and count to ten after taking the car, she infact starts counting 1, 2 for two gun shots and continues counting from 3 instead and hearing repeated gunshots counts faster too, so realistically taken!
Nuances relating to Afghan Scenes
1) Wisam Intro Scene: Not sure how many could read through the paper ad in Wisam’s introduction scene. It reads
“Border of Indian Nationals in kashmir; Conspiracy to murder Indian nationals outside India; Attack on a Kashmir Government Office”; Also in Nationality, it shows “Indian?”- a satire on how the nationality is in question for people living in Kashmir
2) In the scene where Wisam, Omar and salim go to afghanisthan, its shown very clearly in transformation of flag from Pakistan to afghan flag clearly indicating the infiltration mode
3) Dr Clara: In the scene where Dr Clara arrives to treat Mrs Omar, we find the wordings “Medisin sans frontiers’. Translated into English, this French word means, “Doctors without borders”.
4) Weapons Over Love: This is another little gem of a scene: Omar tests a blindfolded Nasser about various weaponry. The moment Omar hears about the NATO strikes, he along with Salim leave the place not bothering to remove the blindfold.
It’s Khadija, Omar’s wife, who comes along and removes the blindfold. It illustrates the difference in perspectives of the father and the mother of Nasser
5) In the scene where they young Jihaadi Mamoo is first introduced to Wisam as a young Jihaadi, in the first introduction, he bangs at Wisam while Wisam expecting a gentle embrace! Shows a subtle difference in styles cultures and between old and young practitioners!
Also, in the scene where they first take group photos with nasser, Nasser is seen talking to Mamoo; It shows how he is preached to be a Jihaadi by the top guys!
6) Ban Entertainment: If u observe in the Afghan scene, the scene where small children are seated near guns in the shop and they weigh bullets, u can find a very old film poster- this shows very clearly how entertainment is banned here and how they are miles away from whats happening in real world as far as entertainment is concerned- the same was shown in the scene where the boys are punished for dressing up as girls and dancing
7) There is a scene shown where Wisam tries to push the Swing for Omar’s small son, who says “I am not a child” and walks away from the swing, But the older Mammu sits and asks Wisam to push the swing. This indicates the contrast of the characters. While the younger boy is more mature, has his own interest and does not want to be swayed by others, the older mammu is easily ‘swayed’ ending as a suicide bomber
8) In the “Thuppakki engal tholile” song, when they shoot at Bush’s photo, first the team members shoot. Then Omar shoots Bush’s right eye. When Wisam shoots, he raises the gun a little higher than Omar and shoots Bush’s left eye. In the pic you can see Bush’s left eye at a slightly higher elevation. Ultimate perfection!!
9) In the scene where the innocent Afghan people are killed and Anu Vidhaitha Boomiyile song starts, if u notice clearly, on left of frame, you would find a Mickey mouse bag; It is a pride of the Western Branding, but also shows there might be an American or European casualty inside and it is indeed true as we find the French doctor Clara found dead.
10) The Concealed Thought: In the same scene, we find a young boy dead and Wisam removes the gun from his hand. Next, he is seen attending to the doctor Clara. While everyone around is badly bruised and experiences the debris from the bombings, the doctor just has a shot in her temple!! Any alarm bells ringing for you - Ya, the young boy has indeed shot the doctor as a retaliation for someone in his family being killed !!
11) One more scene where info is quick to grasp- the NATO bombing scene by the suicide bomber Mamoo; It states the NATO base is a hub for counter terrorism and intelligence operations and among the dead was the agency’s base chief
12) Symbolism: In the scene where Taufeeq is introduced to Wisam, Omar talks about Taufeeq to Wisam and tells Taufeeq is very useful. In the same scene, he eats something and throws the tissue away symbolically indicating that Taufeeq could be used for their benefit.
13) In the scene where Osama appears, Wisam in anticipation of seeing Osama appear from underneath goes back (since he is shorter than Salim) but the sight of the hugely tall Osama appearing makes Kamal retract and come forward, such a beautiful scene and the nuance is well captured!!!!
14) Imtiaz: If we observe carefully, Imtiaz- the other guy who helps Wisam in Afghan sequences actually appears in most of the Afghan sequences. He is present even in the first Afghan scene where they take a photo near the horse; He prays along with Omar and team, he is even taken to the Osama hideout place but stopped near the entrance. He is also the one who is driving the car that takes an injured Omar at the end of the first half.
15) The guy who is supposed to collect parcel from the antique shop Munnavar is even shown in the scene where Osama comes; Infact this is the scene which exposes the key strategic guys of Al Queda- Munnavar, Osama, the ISI guy who assists and a Mullah Omar look alike; Munnavar is gonna collect the parcel from antique shop, so Munnavar has got to do a lot with strategizing and disbursing the content in parcel based on the need! Which place is gonna be attacked, where and whom it needs to go etc! So there’s more to the parcel than what meets the eye!
16) Osama- The real Target: And coming to the golden goose, Not sure how many understood that the whole effort was to catch Osama bin Laden! The previous day of Taufeeq arrival, Omar tells Kamal a tall Sheikh is coming, its very obvious that through the tracker, the attempt is to reveal Osama; Thats why Wisam is seen enquiring about Osama all the time, how he would escape, who would take care of him etc, Smart direction at its zenith!
Nuances relating to US Raw Agent Scenes
1) Contrasting perspectives within RAW: Vish, Asmita and Jags work for the same mission
But in the dinner ending scene when Obama talks about Osama, Asmita takes the side of Americans while Both Vish and Jag take a sightly pro Afghan stand (Vish- Ipdiyaa peethikarathu, manushanga saava ipdiyaa deepavali aatam kondaadarathu), Jag (obama ratings a etha vendaama, athu asarangaloda annan thambi pondaati pillai kitta kelu) while asmita says nambalukku enna kavalai
So its kind of suprising that even though they are in the same mission, they have different intentions why they approach the same and have differing persectives, very well captured ! The reason could be that Jags and Vish were part of ME operation too and have a better perspective than Asmita!
2) The Nigerian terrorist Abbasi is seen shaving his public hair
Underlying Thought: Muslims purify corpses by washing the skin and nails and sometimes by shaving the pubic hair. But suicide attackers are deprived of a proper burial, since there are usually no remains. To compensate, the attackers shear themselves ahead of time, both to guarantee some level of cleanliness at the time of instant incineration and to prove extreme devotion to personal purity. An alternate explanation is that suicide terrorists adopted the no-hair practice from the Pashtun tribesmen of Afghanistan, who shave their bodies before going into battle. Hair removal is mentioned in Islamic law as a method of maintaining personal hygiene.
3) Explaining Faraday Shield: Not many understood the Faraday shield concept in the climax; The dirty bomb could be detonated directly or through a call made to the phone placed in the device. Nirupama fears that someone could activate the device by placing a call hearing the gun shots. In essence, Omar tries to activate the device even when within a plane. A simplest Faraday shield would be a microwave oven. A microwave needs to be powered on only for heating the food inside by emitting microwave. The shield around the microwave prevents that emission from affecting you. This shield is just a metal shield and does not work on power. It just prevents radiations. That’s why when Omar calls, he gets a number not reachable message indicating that the Faraday shield has indeed worked
4) Wisam is airlifted by the army once he is shot by Omar (would be shown in detail in part 2, a preview was shown at end of part 1). Prior to that, you can see Wisam running with flares, which is to indicate the location to the helicopter
5) Before boarding the private jet, Salim is shown asking the flight attendant (no dialogues here…but he points to his mobile) if he can use his mobile phone from within the aircraft. This is obviously to detonate the dirty bomb if needed
6) Attention to Details: The number that Omar dials to detonate the dirty bomb starts with “201″ which indicates an area code within NY. When Salim opens his purse to take out money to pay the toll, on the left, you see a group photo with Wisam and Omar’s family. On the right, you see a New Jersey state driving license. Brilliant attention to details.
7) A panic struck Nirupama is unable to come to grips with Vish’s transformation and to see everyone playing a double role misinterprets the house warming fire as something burning inside the house when infact Colonel Jags is shredding confidential materials (Irundavan Kannukku arandathellaam Pei)
Also, in the same scene, Niru packing her bag is shown! Everyone would expect her character to change suddenly. But, as a woman and a home maker, she focuses on packing her clothes even in this situation.
8) When Wisam, Nirupama, Jag and Ashmita are about to enter the basement, you can see a photo of Vaamana avatar on the side wall. Vaamana is the Vishnu Avatar who was known for Vishwaroopam in mythology
9) In the scene where Viz is lead first to lab, Niru says to left and Vish tells i know it, shows very clearly they have even video surveillance of this place and maybe even insiders
10) When Nirupama asks “Neenga nallavara kettavara?”, for a split second Kamal sir gives the Velu Nayakkar expression for the same question in Nayakan
11) In the first scene of people with geiger counters in the park, there is no one with guns. Later based on Wisam’s input, they shoot down some pigeons. The shooting is not shown but you can now see 2 men with guns with the team that has the geiger counters.
12) Abbasi and Fund Transfer Explanation: I think many missed out the Nigerian terrorist Abbasi part and the funds exchange portions of it
In the scene where Wisam, Asmita and Niru search the computer at Deep Oncology research for customer names, they find Abbasi’s name. A huge shipment is to be delivered to him from India and seeing the amount transferred to him, its clear he is gonna explode the largest dirty bomb planned (as per an earlier scene, the apartment is not dirty bomb as per Wisam).
The source of funding is mentioned as Nigeria; Since no customer exists in Nigeria, Nirupama says it must be Yemen (as Deepak told her earlier in the first half scene where they keep the money in the safe that these money come from customers in Yemen, Middle East.
13) And in Deep Oncology office after Wisam asks “Endha kadavul?”, when they move to another room, we can see a statue of a 4 horse chariot. I think it is Arjuna’s chariot. Rings a bell? Virata paruvam.
14) In the climax scene, there r 2 instances where transitioning happens btween Abbasi and Omar! First the window of Abbasi is shown with FBI targetting it and when u assume its his window, it immediately transitions to Omar’s window with Omar seeing saleem’s car arriving! In a similar way, it transitions back from Omar and salim praying to Abbasi praying, well shot!
15) Blood bath: The blood oozing out of Nigerian terrorist Abbasi’s body is not symbolic. It is a classic example of superior pyrotechnics used by a thinking director – just imagine someone shot a few times at various body parts, first the blood comes out and is free flowing however since he has fallen in a position where his shirt and outfit prevents free blood flow, it acts like a dam and once the quantity of blood surpasses the resistance made by the outfit, which obviously takes a few seconds, they ooze out with such flow
Now if you feel that you have missed out a huge chunk of it, do not worry; Kamal Haasan films always need a repeat watch to appreciate its beauty! You would be surprised that a seemingly commercially appearing film like Vishwaroopam has many layers to it like Hey Ram did!

Viswaroopam begins rescreening
Read more: Viswaroopam begins rescreening today - Latest - New Straits Times http://www.nst.com.my/latest/viswaro...#ixzz2MFx3kzWOKUALA LUMPUR: Viswaroopam, the movie that drew objections from certain sections of the community, began rescreening today after a month-long hiatus.
Lotus Five Star Cinemas chief executive officer K. Garuna Murthee said the movie was being screened in 58 cineplexes throughout the country.
He said less than two minutes had been snipped from the movie and these did not affect its continuity.
He was confident that although pirated copies of the movie had hit the market, many people would still want to see the action-packed movie in cineplexes.
He said his company had spent RM4 million on the movie rights and promotions after the Censor Board had initially passed the movie for viewing.
After objections were raised over certain scenes, the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) recently approved the cuts.
Murthee said the movie had collected RM300,000 on the first day of screening on Jan 24 before its suspension the following day.
“We had RM3 million (Rs 52742700) in bookings for the movie for the whole week but we lost out on this revenue because of the suspension.
“We intend to persuade Kamal Haasan to come to Malaysia to boost ticket sales.”
The movie which shows an Indian intelligence officer, played by top star Kamal Haasan, who infiltrates the al-Qaeda movement in Afghanistan and later thwarts an at tempt to explode a dirty bomb in New York.
Its temporary ban in Tamil Nadu and the subsequent controversy created has made it one of the most successful films in recent years.
Part Two of the movie is now being completed by Kamal Haasan, who also produced and directed the movie.

'Omar Bhai' Rahul Bose's unique experience with Kamal Haasan
Mar 01, 2013
Rahul Bose has earned quite a lot of name and fame for his ‘Omar Bhai’ act in Vishwaroopam and the actor has no reason to complain despite being shown as a ruthless Afghan Jihadi in the film.
He recently explained the reasons why he chose to accept Vishwaroopam. The prime reason was the fact that it was a film by Kamal Haasan and the other reason was the importance that his role had, on par with Kamal’s role as Wissam Ahmad Kashmiri.
He also said that he had an amazing experience being directed by Kamal while his other directors rarely gave him that feeling.

54 C ellam sappa matter. Hope the DTH release for Part 2, doesn't mess up his schemes again.
With all the controversy that alerted the nation for Part 1 (also with CBFC backing him), I expect minimal trouble. Of course, KH always gets a problem from some group prior to release.

Vishwaroopam: Kamal Haasan-Theatre owners fight,probe begins
An investigation by Competition Commission of India (CCI) has begun concentrating on a complaint filed by Kamal Haasan against Tamil Nadu cinema theatre owners associations.
Mr Haasan had filed the complaint asserting that the association had followed anti-competition practices in restricting the release of Mr Haasan's controversial film Vishwaroopam.
Commenting on the fight between Mr Haasan and the association, spokesperson of the CCI said, "Such a decision of Opposite Party (Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association) prima facie seems to be anti-competitive as it deters a producer from providing to consumers an opportunity of watching premiere show in an economic manner in the comforts of his home."
"It also has the potential of adversely affecting the competition and depriving benefit to producers and consumers of newer technologies," he added. Mr Haasan accused the association of not allowing the movie to be released in the state as he earlier had planned to premiere Vishwaroopam through the Direct to Home (DTH) platform.
The association allegedly had decided not to exhibit any movie including Vishwaroopam if it was already released on DTH platform. The investigation has been led by the fair trade regulator's investigation arm Director General (DG). According to a CCI document dated Jan 16, the DG has been ordered to complete the investigation into the case within 60 days.

Vishal gets a second notice from Nadigar Sangam
Nadigar Sangam convened a meeting yesterday under the leadership of Radha Ravi, and all members of the board were present for discussion. On their main agenda was the case of Vishal, and his comments on the organization during the Vishwaroopam issue. The board reviewed Vishal’s letter yesterday and while many have reportedly suggested severe action against him, the board has decided to send him a second notice seeking further explanation of his statements.
Veteran comedian Kumarimuthu too had been sent a similar notice for apparently disrespecting members of the Nadigar Sangam. He was requested to be present before the board to offer his reasons and explanation but Kumarimuthu did not appear for the meeting citing other commitments. He too has been sent a notice that summons his presence at a later date.

Vishwaroopapedia !!!
JFK = John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City, New York, USA, commonly known as JFK
Killjoy = One who spoils the enthusiasm or fun of others.
Muller = Walther Muller was a German physicist, most well known for his improvement of Hans Geiger's counter for ionizing radiation, now known as the Geiger-Muller tube. Walther Müller studied physics, chemistry and philosophy at the University of Kiel. In 1925 he became the first PhD student of Hans Geiger, who had just got a professorship in Kiel. Their work on ionization of gases by collision lead to the invention of the Geiger-Müller counter, a now indispensable tool for measuring radioactive radiation.
Cockold = Married man with a sexually unfaithful wife
Dirty Bomb = A dirty bomb is a speculative radiological weapon that combines radioactive material with conventional explosives. The purpose of the weapon is to contaminate the area around the dispersal agent/conventional explosion with radioactive material, serving primarily as an aerial denial device against civilians. It is however not to be confused with a nuclear explosion, such as a fission bomb, which by releasing nuclear energy produces blast effects far in excess of what is achievable by the use of conventional explosives.
Roughstuff = violence, as physical assault, torture or shooting, unnecessary violence or infractions of the rules, as in sports, blatant vulgarity or obscenity.
Pashto = Language spoken in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Opium = Opium is the dried latex obtained from the opium poppy. Opium contains approximately 12% morphine, an alkaloid, which is frequently processed chemically to
produce heroin for the illegal drug trade.
Bug = Conceal a miniature microphone in (a room, telephone, etc.) in order to monitor or record someone's conversations
Hijack Locket - ???
Emotional Baggage = the feelings you have about your past and the things that have happened to you, which often have a negative effect on your behaviour and attitudes
Smart Ass = A person who, by means of purpsose or not, uses sarcasm to have a laugh. A person who, on a regular bases, annoys the hell out of people with their sarcastic-attitude.
Crucify - to put to death by nailing or binding the wrists or hands and feet to a cross (Jesus)
Geiger counter = A Geiger–Müller counter, also called a Geiger counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. It detects the emission of nuclear
radiation — alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays — by the ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger–Müller tube, which gives its name to the instrument. In wide and prominent use as a hand-held radiation survey instrument, it is perhaps society's best-known radiation instrument.
Homeland Security = The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a cabinet department of the United States federal government, created in response to the September 11 attacks, and with the primary responsibilities of protecting the United States of America and U.S. territories (including Protectorates)[vague] from and responding to terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters.
Nitroglycerin = Nitroglycerin is used medically as a vasodilator to treat heart conditions, such as angina and chronic heart failure. Having been used for over 130 years, nitroglycerin is one of the oldest and most useful drugs for treating and preventing attacks of angina pectoris. Though it was previously known that these effects arise because nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide, a potent vasodilator, it was not until 2002 that the enzyme for this conversion was discovered to be mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. Nitroglycerin comes in forms of tablets, sprays or patches. It has been suggested for other uses also, such as an adjunct therapy in prostate cancer.
Hunch = An intuitive feeling or a premonition e.g. had a hunch that he would lose
SWAT Team = SWAT ("Special Weapons And Tactics") is a commonly-used proper name for law enforcement units, which use military-style light weapons and specialized tactics in high-risk operations that fall outside of the abilities of regular, uniformed police."SWAT" is commonly-used internationally, as a colloquial, generic term for these units.Their duties include: confronting heavily-armed criminals; performing hostage rescue and counter-terrorism operations; high risk arrests and; entering armored or barricaded buildings. Such units are often equipped with specialized firearms including submachine guns, assault rifles, breaching shotguns, riot control agents, stun grenades, and sniper rifles. They have specialized equipment including heavy body armor, ballistic shields, entry tools, armored vehicles, advanced night vision optics, and motion detectors for covertly determining the positions of hostages or hostage takers, inside enclosed structures.
NEST = The Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) (formerly known as the Nuclear Emergency Search Team) is a team of scientists, technicians, and engineers operating under the United States Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Their task is to be "prepared to respond immediately to any type of radiological accident or incident anywhere in the world".
Faraday shield = A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure formed by conducting material or by a mesh of such material. Such an enclosure blocks external static and non-static electric fields. Faraday cages are named after the English scientist Michael Faraday, who invented them in 1836.The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage are heavily attenuated or blocked by a Faraday cage.
A microwave oven is an example of an inside out Faraday cage, keeping the RF energy within the cage rather than keeping it out.

Good One!
Okay, I was offended.
There, I said it.
It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders just saying that out loud because the whole world seems to think otherwise. And it makes me feel like some hardcore fundamentalist to get all offended over a movie. But that’s the whole truth.
I am a Muslim, a very proud Muslim, in fact. I practise my religion. But I keep it to myself. I believe in it wholeheartedly but I do not thrust it on other people. I pray five times a day but I don’t go around exhibiting it. I fast all 30 days of the Ramadan, of which others wouldn’t have the slightest inkling.
I believe in beliefs. My beliefs are personal. So are yours.
I was born and brought up in Chennai, in a conservative society overpopulated by Hindus with an assortment of Jains, Muslims and Christians. But I never felt even for a second that I was a minority living in a sea of majority. Hindus would land up in our houses for delicious biryani during festivals. We would attend the Sunday mass just to hear the Father praise the Lord. I would accompany my friend to the temple and watch her do 108 rounds. That was my land. All were one.
But the days during the Vishwaroopam controversy have been a whirlwind.
It has literally pulled the earth from under one man, a superstar in his own right, a man who always went against the system and stood by his bold beliefs, yet might not have expected such a huge uproar of his dream project.
It has baffled an entire State, garnered support from unexpected territories, led to politicians seizing the golden opportunity to turn every catastrophe into a vote-bank and, of course, brought up communal feelings.
So I decided to watch the movie, to find out what all the uproar was about.
It was perfect. There was action, romance, mystery, edge-of-the-seat moments and some splendid display of acting skills. And then there were also killing, bloodshed, missing body parts and torsos strewn apart.
Maybe, I’m too old-school.
Maybe, I shouldn’t have been offended when a verse from my daily prayer was read out before a man was publicly hanged in an Islamic country. Maybe, I shouldn’t have been offended when a phrase I mutter a zillion times is echoed loud in a videotaped beheading of an American soldier. Maybe, I shouldn’t have been offended that all terrorists were depicted as Muslims.
Maybe, I shouldn’t.
But since when did we stop calling a spade a spade?
How else would you portray terrorism if not like this?
In the name of God, planes were plunged into buildings, hotels held hostage, railway stations became firing arenas, bomb blasts became a common thing and the long list of suicide bombers was bottomless.
So because of one small fraction of society, a whole community had to suffer. From rejected visas to embarrassing underwear checks at airport immigration, banning of the burqa to being refused houses, it was the common man who suffered. Oh and yes, terrorists were henceforth stereotyped to one religion even though we have proof otherwise. Even when a Norway madman shot 69 unsuspecting people on an island claiming his hope to oust Muslims from the country, the stereotype didn’t change.
So let’s not blame the moviemaker. For, he is just telling us a story, his side of the story. Whether fact or fiction, it does not really matter because a movie is after all just a goddamn movie. And if you need to blame someone, then blame the fundamentalists with the wrong notions in their heads. Blame the men who trained young boys that they could reach heavenly bliss by becoming suicide bombers. Blame the ruthless minds that planned attacks to eradicate an entire country with a single button. Blame the people who are too unstable to live life that they shoot down kindergarten kids in schools across a country that gives its citizens the freedom to carry arms. Blame the people who waged wars on other countries under false pretexts.
Religion is just an excuse.

Kamal Haasan gets back his house?
Mar 04, 2013
Kamal Haasan, after a long and hard struggle, has seen mighty response to his ambitious project, Vishwaroopam. The film has joined the hundred crore club and has also done good business in foreign soil.
Kamal, in an event prior the release, had revealed that he had mortgaged his house to a private money lender. The actor has now supposedly paid the money back to the money lender by mortgaging the same house to a nationalized bank, which allows him to repay the amount on easier terms. With the film seeing good profit, Kamal is sure about getting back his house very soon.
Meanwhile, the work for the sequel of Vishwaroopam has begun and is reportedly being made on a budget of Rs 55 crores (approximately).
1. why? koi shak? (whats doubt)
2. BW needs new blood PR man. already in 200c club
3. OMG VR2 55c ya. thought major budget would have covered in VR1.

But that would also include KHs salary of 20-25cr right? IMO, the plan to make a sequel is a masterstroke by KH and it should be profitable for him even if it doesn't do as well as VR. Originally Posted by Unmai Vilambi
Now that the Tamil version has made at least 10 times the money made by Vishwaroop, I hope Kamal includes some actors from TFI too in VR2(No! Strictly no Santhanabarathy, Vaiyapuri, Ramesh Arvind, Ajay Rathnam).
In a way, it is good that Deepak,Farooq are all dead the story is moving to India. Still I wonder what made him cast non-actors like Shekar Kapur who was given one scene to emote (after Dawkin's death) and screwed it. In fact, neither Dawkins nor Mama evoked any sympathy from the audience. Would like to see more of Nasser and Andrea(at least for the Thamizh) in VR2.

Vishwaroopam re-opened decently if not great in malaysia.Pirated CD's,DVD's affecting the BO collections badly in malaysia.Fact is Distributor Lotus five star is selling the pirated CD's in the market and they are the big fish here,without knowing them no one can sell pirated CD's,DVD's here.So all the pirated business is routed via Lotus and they earned more from pirated CD's then expected..in brickfields there is a lotus hotel and they started selling CD's 20 days before itself for a price of 25RM.My colleague bought that CD and its very clear.

for the last few years (specially after Dasa) I have a feeling that our man does the Hindi version for every big movie of his, not for the money, but for pride.....as if he wants to prove a point to somebody.... Originally Posted by hattori_hanzo

Another thing that hurts many movie goers here is the cuts made in the first fight.It affects the mindset of repeat audience who is willing to watch 'N' times..for example in my case i already watched twice on Jan 24th before the ban and thought of watching 4-5 times after re-release but when i watched the movie with the cuts in the transformation scene i am terribly disappointed and i lost interest to watch again in theaters..i will watch once again in theaters this week but not many times as decided before..will b travelling to chennai by march 30,so planning to watch in Sathyam six degrees auro 3d and Mayajaal auro 3d

The transformation scene fetched many repeat audience - especially hardcore fans.
For VR2, there should be a scene matching that to ensure similar collections from repeat audience.

hi pushpak. +1. the character of wiz was deliberately made effeminate to score huge point in the transformation scene. how he is going to replace that scene in vr2 is +55c question!

The transformation scene is not deliberately made for masses and its just part of a storyline to show the strength of a Agent who can switch colors in a fraction of second but it just came out of blue and became a "best mass scene ever made in tamil cinema" "mass scene of a decade"..

If the movie ran smoothly from Jan 24th without any ban then the collections would have been 10-12C

Good one. basics of TFI business. first part:
BIG STARS, BIG BUSINESS!
The task is not complete for the producers with last day of shooting or the day when the movie’s editing is completed. It has to be traded. That is where a producer could recover the money he had invested in the making of the movie. As a matter of fact, the difficulties of making a movie are equal to that of trading it. The expenses incurred in the production would equate the expenses incurred by the distributors.
So how does the movie trading business work? How do they start the business of selling the movie? Generally if it is a movie with big names in it, putting it in market would be smooth. Big starrer movies such as Rajinikanth, Kamalhasan, Ajith, Vijay, Surya and Vikram will be sold off almost immediately with stiff competition within the distributors. In case of small budget films, it would be a great difficulty for the producer to sell the movie. It would tire the producer out and make him pity himself before he sells the movie off for all areas.
We have already discussed that Tamil movie trade is included in seven areas, namely;
1. City (Chennai city)
2. NSC (Erstwhile North Arcot, South Arcot and Chengelpet districts)
3. Coimbatore
4. Salem
5. MR (Old Madurai and Ramanadhapuram districts)
6. TT (Trichy and Tanjavur districts)
7. TK (Thirunelveli and Kanyakumari disctricts)
Let us quickly discuss about each of the above here
1. City
This most important movie rights are rights to screen a movie in the theaters of Chennai city. It is not present in the expanded city but old Chennai city boundaries are still considered as city rights in movie business. City South ends with AVM Rajeswari Theater. Screens beyond that like of Koyambedu, SSR Bangajam, Devi Karumari, Kasi, Jyothi would be included in Changelpet area. Similarly in North Chennai region, theaters ahead of Thiruvotriyur would be with City area and beyond them would be with Changelpet. Chrompet, Thambaram, Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, Prarthana and Mayajal screens also would be considered as Chengelpet.
2. NSC (Old North Arcot, South Arcot and Chengelpet districts)
Many movies are bought with the NSC area rights and sold individually for North Arcot, South Arcot and Chengelpet districts. As Chengelpet includes majority of the expanded Chennai city, the rights are sold at good prices for Chengelpet area. (We purchased Vijayakanth’s ‘Engal Anna’ Chengelpet rights alone for INR 60.00 Lakhs)
3. Coimbatore
Coimbatore is considered as the biggest area in Tamil movie sales as of now. Earlier the release centers were only up to Coimbatore city belt and surrounding regions. However, now it is the biggest area because, apart from Coimbatore city, the release centers include as many as 35+ surrounding towns such as Pollachi, Tiruppur, Udumalpet, Mettuppalayam, etc.
4. Salem
This area comprises Salem and Dharmapuri districts. It is one of the important areas to judge the collection of any film, main reason being the majority of floating population.
5. MR (Old Madurai and Ramanadhapuram districts)
This area is the deciding factor of most of the movies. It is well known fact that if Madurai area receives a movie well, the whole state would also receive the film the same way. In Madurai and Ramanathapuram districts movie craze fans are more. Since the times of MGR and Sivaji, this region comprises the cine goers and movie lovers. That is the reason for why MR is given the status of success defining area.
6. TT (Trichy and Tanjavur districts)
TT area comprises the districts around Tanjavur and Trichirappally. TT area is one of the deciding factors of a movie’s success.
7. TK (Thirunelveli and Kanyakumari disctricts)
This area has Thirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts in it.
A movie, across these seven areas, can be sold individually. In other version, by a company or an individual or through outright, a film can be purchased and sold individually or all areas put together. Confusing? Never mind! We shall see what is outright and selling together later.
Apart from the sales in Tamilnadu through the above areas, a Tamil film is sold in other states across the country and mainly for neighboring states of Andhra, Karnataka and Kerala. Besides this, international sales called FMS (Foreign, Malaysia and Singapore) also earn revenue for a Tamil film. Earlier, Tamil movies were sold independently in Srilanka (like Malaysia and Singapore). Movies, which had clicked in Tamilnadu, have become super hit in Srilanka as well and returned excellent revenue. Post Eelam issue, that individual business for concluded.
Due to globalization, now native and LankanTamils are spread across the globe and Tamil films enjoy global demand and thus, doors of global business have been opened. Latest examples for this fact are Endhiran and Dasavatharam. These two movies were released across Europe and USA in the same date of Indian release and collected millions of Euros and Dollars.
Other revenue sources for a movie are,
· DVD and VCD rights
· Audio cassette and CD rights
· Satellite channel and Cable TV broadcast rights
· Internet broadcast rights
· Other language dubbing rights
· Other language remake rights
· Passenger Bus/Train/Aircraft screening rights
· Merchandising rights
At present Tamil movie industry scenario, merchandising rights, merchandise sales are becoming possible. Merchandising rights are the rights to print and sell the movie logos, stills in consumer items like T-shirts, Caps, bags, etc.
Who determines or fixes the selling price (rate) of a movie? For instance, the movie Dasavatharam was produced in a budget of INR 60.00 Crores. Its rate is determined considering the salaries of Kamal and other actors, salaries of director K.S.Ravikumar other technicians, cost of shooting, cost of advertisement and other expenses. The rate fixed by the above formula is collected in selling the movie through multiple ways. They are:
· Outright,
· MG (Minimum Guarantee)
· Distribution
More on them in the next chapter.
[…to be continued]

விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தியேட்டர் மறுத்த நபர்களுக்கு ஆப்பு! சாதாரண ரசிகரே ஆக்ஷன் எடுக்கலாம்!!
விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தியேட்டர்கள் தரக்கூடாது என தடுத்தவர்கள் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கப்படலாம் என்ற நிலை ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்திய போட்டி ஆணையம் (The Competition Commission of India) விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தியேட்டர்கள் தரக்கூடாது என தடுத்தவர்கள் யார் என்ற விசாரணை அறிக்கை விரைவில் வெளியிடப் போவதாக அறிவித்துள்ளது.
காரணம் என்னவென்றால், முன்பு விஸ்வரூபம் விவகாரம் சிக்கலில் இருந்தபோது, கமல் கொடுத்திருந்த புகாரை அவர் வாபஸ் வாங்கவில்லை. அது, இப்போதுதான் ஆக்ஷன் செய்யப்படுகிறது.
இதில் மற்றொரு வில்லங்கமும் உள்ளது. கமல், கேஸை வாபஸ் வாங்கினால்கூட, விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு முன்பதிவு செய்த ஒரு சாதாரண ரசிகர் இதில் ஜெயிக்க வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது. முழுமையாக படியுங்கள்.. விவகாரம் இருக்கிறது.
இதன் பின்னணி என்ன?
கமல்ஹாஸன் தனது விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை தியேட்டர்களில் வெளியாகும் முன்பு டி.டி.எச்.சில் வெளியிடப் போவதாக அறிவித்தார். இதனால் கோபமடைந்த திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்கள், “விஸ்வரூபம் படம் முதலில் டி.டி.எச்.சில் ஒளிபரப்பானால், அந்தப் படத்தை எந்தத் தியேட்டரிலும் வெளியிட அனுமதிக்க மாட்டோம். தியேட்டர்கள் தரமாட்டோம்” என்று போர்க்கொடி தூக்கினர்.
கமல்ஹாஸன், “இது எனது வியாபாரம் செய்யும் உரிமையை தடுக்கும் செயல்” என்று புகார் தெரிவித்தார்.
வாயால் புகார் தெரிவித்ததுடன் நின்றுவிடாது, இந்திய போட்டி ஆணையத்திடம் எழுத்து மூலமாக புகாரும் கொடுத்தார். அத்துடன் திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் சங்கம் வெளியிட்ட தீர்மான நகலையும் இணைத்திருந்தார்.
திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் சங்கம் வெளியிட்ட தீர்மானத்தில், “டி.டி.எச். அல்லது வேறு தொழில்நுட்பத்தில் வெளியாகும் எந்தப் படங்களுக்கும் ஒத்துழைப்பில்லை” என்று தெளிவாக குறிப்பிட்டிருந்தது. சட்டப்படி பார்த்தால் இது, ‘ஒருவரது வர்த்தக முயற்சியை பலவந்தமாக தடுக்கும் செயல்’ என்ற குற்றப் பிரிவில் அடங்குகிறது.
கமல்ஹாசன் கொடுத்திருந்த புகார் குறித்து போட்டி ஆணையம், திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்களிடம் விளக்கம் கேட்டு நோட்டீஸ் அனுப்பியது.
இந்திய போட்டி ஆணையம், திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் அமைப்புக்கு அனுப்பிய நோட்டீஸில், “கமல்ஹாஸனின் குற்றச்சாட்டுகளுக்கு அடிப்படை முகாந்திரம் உள்ளது. உங்கள் அமைப்பின் தீர்மானம், தொழில் செய்யும் உரிமைக்கு விரோதமானதாக போட்டி ஆணையம் கருதுகிறது.
இது குறித்து உங்கள் விளக்கம் கோரப்படுகிறது. விளக்கம் திருப்பி அளிக்காவிட்டால், திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் சங்க நிர்வாகிகள் மீது சட்ட நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கப்படும்” என்று குறிப்பிடப்பட்டிருந்தது.
அத்துடன், இந்திய போட்டி ஆணைய டைரக்டர் ஜெனரல் தலைமையில் விசாரணை நடத்தி, 60 நாட்களுக்குள் அறிக்கை தர உத்தரவிடப்பட்டது.

விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தியேட்டர் மறுத்த நபர்களுக்கு ஆப்பு! சாதாரண ரசிகரே ஆக்ஷன் எடுக்கலாம்!!
விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தியேட்டர்கள் தரக்கூடாது என தடுத்தவர்கள் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கப்படலாம் என்ற நிலை ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்திய போட்டி ஆணையம் (The Competition Commission of India) விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தியேட்டர்கள் தரக்கூடாது என தடுத்தவர்கள் யார் என்ற விசாரணை அறிக்கை விரைவில் வெளியிடப் போவதாக அறிவித்துள்ளது.
காரணம் என்னவென்றால், முன்பு விஸ்வரூபம் விவகாரம் சிக்கலில் இருந்தபோது, கமல் கொடுத்திருந்த புகாரை அவர் வாபஸ் வாங்கவில்லை. அது, இப்போதுதான் ஆக்ஷன் செய்யப்படுகிறது.
இதில் மற்றொரு வில்லங்கமும் உள்ளது. கமல், கேஸை வாபஸ் வாங்கினால்கூட, விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு முன்பதிவு செய்த ஒரு சாதாரண ரசிகர் இதில் ஜெயிக்க வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது. முழுமையாக படியுங்கள்.. விவகாரம் இருக்கிறது.
இதன் பின்னணி என்ன?
கமல்ஹாஸன் தனது விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை தியேட்டர்களில் வெளியாகும் முன்பு டி.டி.எச்.சில் வெளியிடப் போவதாக அறிவித்தார். இதனால் கோபமடைந்த திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்கள், “விஸ்வரூபம் படம் முதலில் டி.டி.எச்.சில் ஒளிபரப்பானால், அந்தப் படத்தை எந்தத் தியேட்டரிலும் வெளியிட அனுமதிக்க மாட்டோம். தியேட்டர்கள் தரமாட்டோம்” என்று போர்க்கொடி தூக்கினர்.
கமல்ஹாஸன், “இது எனது வியாபாரம் செய்யும் உரிமையை தடுக்கும் செயல்” என்று புகார் தெரிவித்தார்.
வாயால் புகார் தெரிவித்ததுடன் நின்றுவிடாது, இந்திய போட்டி ஆணையத்திடம் எழுத்து மூலமாக புகாரும் கொடுத்தார். அத்துடன் திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் சங்கம் வெளியிட்ட தீர்மான நகலையும் இணைத்திருந்தார்.
திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் சங்கம் வெளியிட்ட தீர்மானத்தில், “டி.டி.எச். அல்லது வேறு தொழில்நுட்பத்தில் வெளியாகும் எந்தப் படங்களுக்கும் ஒத்துழைப்பில்லை” என்று தெளிவாக குறிப்பிட்டிருந்தது. சட்டப்படி பார்த்தால் இது, ‘ஒருவரது வர்த்தக முயற்சியை பலவந்தமாக தடுக்கும் செயல்’ என்ற குற்றப் பிரிவில் அடங்குகிறது.
கமல்ஹாசன் கொடுத்திருந்த புகார் குறித்து போட்டி ஆணையம், திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்களிடம் விளக்கம் கேட்டு நோட்டீஸ் அனுப்பியது.
இந்திய போட்டி ஆணையம், திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் அமைப்புக்கு அனுப்பிய நோட்டீஸில், “கமல்ஹாஸனின் குற்றச்சாட்டுகளுக்கு அடிப்படை முகாந்திரம் உள்ளது. உங்கள் அமைப்பின் தீர்மானம், தொழில் செய்யும் உரிமைக்கு விரோதமானதாக போட்டி ஆணையம் கருதுகிறது.
இது குறித்து உங்கள் விளக்கம் கோரப்படுகிறது. விளக்கம் திருப்பி அளிக்காவிட்டால், திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர் சங்க நிர்வாகிகள் மீது சட்ட நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கப்படும்” என்று குறிப்பிடப்பட்டிருந்தது.
அத்துடன், இந்திய போட்டி ஆணைய டைரக்டர் ஜெனரல் தலைமையில் விசாரணை நடத்தி, 60 நாட்களுக்குள் அறிக்கை தர உத்தரவிடப்பட்டது.
ஆனால் இரண்டாம் பக்கத்தில் நாம் குறிப்பிடப்பட்ட புகாரைக் கொடுத்த சில தினங்களில் திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்களுடன் சமாதானமாகிவிட்டார் கமல்ஹாஸன்.
“நாங்கள் அண்ணன் தம்பிகள், மாமன் மச்சான்கள்… நாங்கள் இப்படித்தான் அடிக்கடி உரிமையாய் சண்டை போட்டுக் கொள்வோம்.. பிறகு கூடிக் கொள்வோம். இது என்னுடைய குடும்பம்” என்று கூறினார்.

Chennai Box-Office (March 1 to 3)
Tuesday, 05 March , 2013, 14:51
It`s March the examination season, and there has been a drop in collection. Six Tamil films released and none of them managed to get even a 10% occupancy!
Kamal Haasan`s Vishwaroopam is still the best show in town especially in multiplexes. At number two is Aadhi Bhagavan, which in spite of controversies is limping.
In the third place surprisingly is the Hindi film with newcomers Kai Po Che, which has very good WOM, which is bringing in the audiences.
At number four is the new Hollywood 3D film Jack The Giant Slayer, while Haridas remains in the last position.
Vishwaroopam
Cast: Kamal Haasan, Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Rahul Bose
Director: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan, Hype, Technically brilliant
Length, Too slow in the second half
Trade Facts :Super Hit

சென்னை: தன் நாட்டுக்காகப் போராடும் தலிபான்களைத் தவறாக சித்தரிக்கும் விஸ்வரூபம் தவறான படம்தான். விடுதலைப் புலிகளைப் போலத்தான் தலிபான்களும்... - இப்படிக் கூறியிருப்பவர் இயக்குநர் அமீர்! விஸ்வரூபம் படம் பல்வேறு பரபரப்புகளை, சர்ச்சைகளைக் கிளப்பி, ஒருவழியாக வெளியாகி ஓடி முடிக்கும் சூழலில், மீண்டும் பரபரப்பைக் கிளப்பியிருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர் அமீர். சமீபத்திய பேட்டி ஒன்றில், "விஸ்வரூபம்' படத்தில் இஸ்லாமியர்கள் தவறாக சித்தரிக்கப்படவில்லை. ஆனால் தலிபான் போராளிகள் தவறாக சித்தரிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறார்கள். ஆப்கன் மக்களுக்காகவும், அவர்களின் உரிமைகளை மீட்கவும் அமெரிக்க ஏகாதிபத்தியத்தை எதிர்த்துப் போராடும் ஒரு போராளியை விஸ்வரூபத்தில் தவறாகச் சித்தரித்திருக்கிறார்கள். எப்படி ஈழத்திற்காகப் போராடிய போராளிகளான பிரபாகரனையும் அவரது கூட்டாளிகளையும் தவறாக சித்தரிச்சா என்ன வருமோ அதுதான் விஸ்வரூபம். எப்படி இந்த போராளிகளை தீவிரவாதிகள் என்று சொல்லக் கூடாதோ அப்படித்தான் தலிபான் போராளிகளையும் தீவிரவாதிகள் என்று காட்டக் கூடாது. ஆனால் இங்குள்ள அமைப்புகளோ, கட்சிகளோ இதை எதிர்க்காமல் விட்டு விட்டார்கள். இப்போதுதான் அது பற்றிய விவாதத்தை வைத்திருக்க வேண்டும். யாரும் செய்யவில்லை. ஆக, விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தின் மூலம் தன் மண்ணுக்காகப் போராடும் தலிபான் போராளிகளை தவறாகச் சித்தரித்திருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதுதான் உண்மை," என்று கூறியுள்ளார்.

Thats true..but no need to bother all this..UlagaIyakunar is facing this issue from 1990's but he will ignore all these non-senses and continue to innovate the new things in TFI and still impress the BO consistently..The trend will continue..VR2 will be another Blockbuster for kamal..no doubt..also nowadays we have enough proof of BO collections for all the movies. Also In the mindset of fans of so called mass heroes like 'Vijay','Ajith' and to some rajni fans who think only their stars has the mass to collect big numbers Kamalhaasan movies time and then proved his class movies can also pull mass audience/family audience resulting in becoming the biggest BB..10A collected 250C which is the first movie in india to touch that number..Chandramuki collected 55C & VV collected 60C but after years media interchanged the numbers..

If VR2 ever gets made and released, hope Kamal shows the true colours of our "Anglo Saxons/Normans/Victorians cousins" as well. The brutality of Taliban is known, but what about Saxons wolves (USA and its nephew, UK) in sheep clothing?? The reason behind 1980's Mujahadin?? Al Qaeda? Hezbollah?? PLO ??

Joke of the year. Ameer's product is not fridge/TV/washing machine where the maker can not incorporate his ideologies into his creation. Mainstream cinema provides two ways to a creator to propagate his ideas: directly through his creation, and through the media presence, in the form of media interviews, courtesy the limelight from the mainstream cinema. to cut off the much required Oxygen (money/fame/publicity) to these perverted minds, boycotting their products by those people who are against such radical views is of utmost necessity.

By buying the tickets you are empowering him. Of course, the textiles made in Manchester were of good quality and optimally priced (cheaper than Khadi).

FYI, Manivannan is a self proclaimed atheist and Seeman is a Christian. everybody knows it here. They arent criticised as supporting 'terrorists' as they didnt say that 'VR portrayed Taliban in bad light'. Such pearls of wisdom were shed only by Ameer.
Pls dont argue just for the sake of argueing. You have been doing that regularly without even reading entire posts.

If Kamal has to do justice to all the wronged people in the country, he needs to take at least another 20 movies on various topics. Why doesnt the other actors (including your fav star) make some socially relevent movies in similar topics and share Kamal's work burden a bit? Originally Posted by thamiz

What sort of 'freedom fighters'are they? Do they have the majority's support? Can they contest and win a fair election in Afghanistan??
If you "get annoyed outrageously" if "poor Ameer" is accused as "terorist organisation supporter", we can assume only either of the two things: you are a blind supporter of Ameer.....or you are a Taliban sympathiser. I am sure the other hubbers would have come to that conclusion by now.

Unnaipol oruvan visual effects design is for just one shot where kamal stands in the top of the building shot in hyderabad and matched with chennai city location.. Since the frames for visual effects are less in UPO its not a tough task and it wil b the least..

supe..i feel aalavandhan tops the list as best vfx. we have to keep it in mind that came almost 13 years before and what an unbelievable fight seq between two kamals! (it should have been released at these times. a digitized version or even 3D, chop off atleast 20-30 mt scenes and can be released to tap new gen fans) next is definitely VR. as far as D is concerned, sorry usv, the tsunami scene looked childish to say the least but lift portion agreed gr8.

From: Supe on 7th March 2013 09:56 AM [Full View]
The similarity in Aalavandhan, UPO and VR is invisibility of visual effects! For example how many of us know Aalavandhan had more than 400 shots (13 years ago!!!), UPO had 468 shots and ofcourse VR had 1484..!!! Aalavandhan was unique in many ways! I was told Madhu shot the Vijay character first and Whole of Nandhu was shot six months later..!!! Kamal sir took his time to increase his body size with an astonishing look! Vijay and Nandhu characters were then brought together later in the screen..! For technical invention statistics; it was the first Indian film used Motion Control rigs to bring both the characters in the same frame and gave a feel they were two different actors performed! Quite a high standard! Originally Posted by USV
UPO had many Vfx shots not just on roof top.!!! The outer structure of the building, entire motion graphics on the computer screens through put the movie, the sign boards, vehicle number plates, exterior of Police Stations, the blast, smoke, fire etc all are visual effects!!!
VR stands a class apart..! One can only extend the streets or particular terrain on the background wherein in VR everything was visual effects! The landscapes, fights, war, car chase, NY sequences..! Amazing!
To me interestingly it gave another view that maybe Madhu sir also graduated slowly from Aalavandhan to Vishwaroopam which shows the quality..; afterall in between he did 9 Hollywood films!!

‘Vishwaroopam’ Box Office Collection: Kamal Haasan Starrer Earns ₹1 Crore in Opening Weekend in Malaysia
After creating new records at overseas and Indian box offices, Kamal Haasan's controversial film "Vishwaroopam" is rocking Malaysian theatres.
The spy thriller film was released in Malaysia on 28 February, almost a month after facing a ban. But the film is still hitting exceptional figures at the Malaysian box offices. After Rajinikanth's 2010 film "Endhiran", Haasan's film is the only one that received a fabulous response in the country.
"Vishwaroopam" in its opening weekend, including its Thursday premier, collected approximately ₹1.37 crore ($248,621) gross from 58 screens at the Malaysian box office.
The movie premiered on 24 January in Malaysia, but the Home Ministry call for its ban a day after its release. It opened to packed houses on that single day.
"We will refund those who purchased tickets through advance bookings, or allow them to use it for other films," the company's director Datuk R. Ramalingam told The Star, earlier in January.
According to Cinemalead.com, the movie grossed in ₹53 lakh on its 24 January premiere.
The overall five days collection of the film now stands at ₹1.9 crore at the Malaysian box office.
Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu the film is still holding a very strong position at collection centres. In fact, "Vishwaroopam" is doing better than other films that were released later.
In the international market, the film is going strong in its sixth week. After six weeks both Telugu and Tamil versions of the film raked in approximately ₹6.8 crore from the US box office alone.
The film is directed and co-produced by Haasan. Apart from him, it also features Rahul Bose, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah and Jaideep Ahlawat in important roles.

Compare to climax fight portion where both kamal fight with glass pieces followed by gas explosion followed by baloon jump in Aalavanthaan the Tsunami scene is far better..Yes aalavandhan came almost 13 years before and its new to IFI,thats the reason Madhu got national award and he deserved that..All i said is the VFX scenes in aalavanthaan is not enjoyabale..,be it 1st fight,military parade scenes,,the scenes were not catchy with the audience..finally i dont want to use childish for VFX in any of the above movies becoz of hardwork put in by the VFX team,production team and kamalhaasan..remember kamalhaasan in recent interview told that Aascar is not willing to overshoot the budget cost of 10A and even he is not agreeing to simultaneously take scenes in hindi..may be becoz of budget constraint the Tsunami scene is not 100% but still its 80%..

subsequently my student's uncle tried his best to get information abt her - but to no avail - he has been warned not to go anywhere near his wife's village - and he does NOT even know if she has been married off to someone else or even if she is alive / dead!
my heart goes out to that brave woman who defied all the odds to marry a man of her choice/liking and mustered courage to go see her parents despite knowing the inherent danger - such an adorable woman!
I have all my loathing reserved for those cowardly taliban, who probably would put their own mothers to death, if they thought they were doing something UNislamic!
such are the conditions in Afghanistan under Taliban - in fact, even without the taliban, am told they are very tribal - Talibanism has definitely served to bring out the worst aspects of tribalism, including misogyny - treating women like property.
my pakistani student btw is a very, very, liberal and progressive practising Muslim - she fell in love with an american and went against her family's tradition to marry him.
but she can do all of that because she is in mainland america and NOT in north-west Pakistan.
PS: btw, she supports american presence in afghanistan and northwest pakistan wholeheartedly and so does her family - they are from there and know exactly how dire the situation is.

VISHWAROOPAM: A LESSON IN CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS
They say “any publicity is good publicity”, but truthfully no one wants to deal with publicity around business-halting scandals. This fact rings especially true in the film industry when hard-working artists put their life-savings and personal reputations on the line for productions. However, when such complications do arise, public relations teams turn to carefully plotted crisis management plans to guide public announcements –careful recipes that help parties maintain credibility with stakeholders and update the uninformed public. Whether knowingly or not, Kamal Hassan provided a model example of proper crisis communications throughout Vishwaroopam’s many ordeals in Tamil Nadu.
Today marks one month since the film overcame barriers and released in Tamil Nadu, and since then the film has grossed a whopping 200 plus crores. Many believe that the ban only incited more people to view the film, and already diehard “Kamalians” to view it multiple times in the theatre. The eventual resolution of the ban and any benefits that ultimately came from it were heavily due to Kamal Hassan’s impeccable public relations skills.
General lessons in crisis leadership teach you that responding to the public during crises is key to maintaining an organization’s reputation, and how well it is done will dictate how much public support you receive. Kamal has always had an enormous amount of public support, but in the wake of the ban he became a “fed up artist”, and could have easily communicated messages of anger that would have provoked increased public outrage. Instead, he remained calm and professional and delivered solid communications that only helped him win further support. In fact, according to “Crisis Leadership Now” by Dr. Laurence Barton, Kamal provided all 6 necessary elements of ideal crisis communications:
In the first conference he summoned on January 30th Dr. Hassan took control, corrected inaccuracies, delivered bad news and above all, reinforced his core values of non-violent resolution, his personal patriotism and his continued political and religious secularism. And, in a move of pure professionalism, he repeatedly refused to place blame on any particular interest group for the hardships he was facing. He then went on to promise action by explaining he would await justice from the court, and defeated difficult questions handed to him by the press with aplomb and tenacity. Similarly, on February 7th, the legendary artist reinforced his new core messages of gratitude and promised action to honor the support he received by continuing to better himself as an artist. But what stood out most during all of Kamal’s historic press releases were his poignant anecdotes and emotionally moving declarations. With statements like “the height of valor is nonviolence” and “you fought for my freedom as if it was your own” Kamal Hassan carefully demonstrated a balance of artistic sensitivity and business-driven crisis management skills, and he immediately became even more memorable.
But even without analyzing his excellently executed press conferences, it can be seen that Kamal generally aced his PR test by constantly responding to setbacks with professionalism and stoic resolve. For instance, he immediately announced he would take “legal methods of action” and never once encouraged public protests as a means to persuade government decisions. When agreeing to make cuts to the film and thanking Chief Minister Jayalalitha for her public statements, he demonstrated his cooperative spirit and helped speed up mediation. And, aside from his press conferences and elegantly produced video statements, probably the most intelligent public relations move Kamal Hassan has made to date is evident in the fact that we have barely heard from him since the film released a month ago; despite breaking box-office records and having every right to gloat Hassan is allowing the film to speak for itself. His few communications since the release have been humbly repeated messages of gratitude and acknowledgement that there are lessons to be learned from the whole ordeal. In other words – he is the epitome of class.
During his February 7th press conference Kamal Hassan historically announced that he was “waiting for [everyone] to see the film to tell [him] if all [his] troubles were worth it”. 200 plus crores in earnings confirms that it indeed was, but it is my belief that the profound rewards he has reaped to date are not only a testament to the film, but to Kamal Hassan and his team’s mastery of crisis management. Well played, sir.

my colleagues working in J&K used to say about the worst life threatening situation in j&k till 9/11 and the calmness happened after US started fight against terrorism. all the taliban/alqaida/pak terrorists who were causing suicide attacks around loc were shifted to afpak border to fight US. now irir posted this: she supports american presence in afghanistan and northwest pakistan wholeheartedly and so does her family
in conclusion, despite all its big brother attitude, US presence in afghan has really helped to maintain peace to large extent in this region.

விடுதலைப் புலிகள் இலங்கை அரசாங்கத்திற்கு எதிராக ஆயுதம் தாங்கி போராடியவர்கள். இவர்கள் போராடும் போது இலங்கை அரசு செயல்பட்டதைப் போன்றுதான் இவர்களின் செயல்பாடுகளும் இருந்தன.
விடுதலைப் புலிகள் போருக்கு வந்த சிங்கள ராணுவத்தினரை மட்டும் சுட்டுக் கொல்லவில்லை. அப்பாவி மக்களையும் தான் சுட்டுக் கொண்டார்கள்.

இருவரும் ஒரே குற்றச் செயலில் ஈடுபட்டிருக்கும் போது கண்டிக்க வேண்டுமானால் ராஜபக்சவையும், விடுதலைப் புலிகளையும் கண்டிக்க வேண்டும். விடுதலைப் புலிகளை நல்லவர்களாகவும், ஜனாதிபதி மஹிந்த ராஜபக்ஷ அரசை கண்டனத்திற்குறியதாகவும் காட்டுவதை ஒரு போதும் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ள முடியாது."

Usv, I don't find anything wrong in that savuku art. Many reports came how ltte used civilians as protective shield. In the unfortunate genocide of our brothers and sisters, SL govt and LTTE are jointly responsible.

You didnt understand the point..They are not supporting because its against their law..according to their lay they will involve only in Islam related issues/battle and not with other issues..Protested against Vishwaroopam movie for showing talibans under bad light,didnt raise voice for hyderabad blasts and now talking rubbish about this genocide..LTTE is marked as terrorist organization because they involved in lot of civilian deaths but the SL govt is not a terrorist organization to kill lot of civilians post war which cant be called as unfortunate genocide..Actually the vote is for anti-human activities by SL govt to tamilians after the war....

Here is an article you may want to read https://www.nsfwcorp.com/dispatch/ji...iddle-manager/
A zany sense of humour
btw, 'western decadence' which includes women going around in short skirts etc etc, is antagonistic/insulting to a Jihad's vision of an afterlife rewarded with 70 + virgins to have fun with - thats perfectly morally acceptable - one might ask what if those fairies were not virgins after all ?!
given the no of jihadis already packed off to their afterlives, isnt it probable that those 70+ virgins might now be working overtime ?
unless of course there is an endless supply of virgins in paradise, specifically earmarked for jihadis !

http://www.sify.com/movies/boxoffice...1&cid=14625530
At number two is Kamal Haasan`s Vishwaroopam which is rumoured to have grossed nearly Rs 3.5 Cr. The film was shown in very few main centers in government theaters due to a dispute with Kerala Exhibitors Federation, which controls screens in A stations. Imagine what would have been its collection if it was screened in all main stations!

Decoding a spy thriller – Sanu J Varghese on Vishwaroopam
http://pandolin.com/making-of-vishwaroopam/
"Kamal Sir is someone who has extreme control over every aspect of filmmaking. Some of the songs and even a lot of the fights have been choreographed by him. He knows exactly where the camera has to be, what the mood of the sequence is, etc."
"About Vishwaroopam 2, we have already shot around 30 -40 percent of the film. But some amount of writing is incomplete and will take more time."

Why the hell only 6 shows in mayajaal & 3 auro 3d shows in six degrees for Vishwaroopam movie when the booking is good compared to other movies..8 shows for Aadhibhagavan movie in mayajaal.Yesterday when i compared the ticket bookings between VR and AB for today the VR ticket booking is almost 60% for 5 shows except night show whereas combined ticket bookings of all the shows for AB is equal to one of the 5 shows of Vishwaroopam..that clearly shows Vishwaroopam is still going strong but dont know the reason for reduced shows..Also booking for auro 3d shows in six degrees is full for week-end by thursday morning itself but still dont know why they havent increased the shows from 3 to 4 or 5..very bad..My friend staying in chromepet said that vetri theater removed Vishwaroopam yesterday and currently running 5 movies which includes "vasantha maaligai" 2 shows and 4 movies is not even 30% full..My friend told last week-end Vettri theater ran 2 shows for Vishwaroopam with 85% full..definitely this week-end if they run 2 shows it will be 70% full which is far far better than other 5 movies...

Vishwaroopam clearly stands tall by very huge margin comparing to AB and any new releases..Even the combined collection of all movies(AB,haridas,etc) in mayajaal will not equal Vishwaroopam collections but shows less than AB,Haridas..its really hurting kamal fans and i guess even theater owners as big political game being played here.Aadhibhagavan produced by J.Anbalagan and Haridas produced by DR V Ramadoss

I have been living in Afghanistan for 3 years now. Present day Afghanistan is too complex (it has always been complex from what ever I have read and heard) with too many players in the field from all part of the world, including India, with different agenda and interest. It's not an easy task to explain in just one sentence or para. It can be discussed for days because it's that complicated and beyond the imagination of outsiders. Nothing is black and white and what you see and hear in the media is not even 5% of what is happening here in real. Originally Posted by Unmai Vilambi

On the other hand, politically things have become more complex, US could not do anything about the influence of Pakistan or Saudi Arabia in promoting Taliban (whether it is intended or not is another question because Pakistan and Saudi have always remained proxies of the US) and various ethnic groups and tribes have got rearmed in the last 10 years and there are a lot of signs for another civil war after 2014, once the NATO and US are completely withdrawn. It's a never ending struggle due to the vast difference that exists among the ethnic groups and tribes. Every group wants to rule and and the outsiders with various agendas are taking the maximum advantage out of it. Last night I was at a friend's place for dinner and another friend who is an Indian who has been working here in Afghanistan was saying 'after 2014 they will start fighting among themselves again and you and I will be coming back again to rebuild this country. Even our children and grand children will be coming too'.2. whether the situation prior to US invasion persists or has improved
There's no religious minorities as such. All Afghans are 100% Muslims but there's a huge expatriate community that belong to different religious groups. You cannot openly practice any religion other than Islam. And among locals the problem is not about religion but about the tribes and ethnicity. They cannot stand each other.3. how religions minorities and outsiders (who work there) treated
Malala's incident happened in Pakistan not in Afghanistan. Women do not have much of a say in Afghanistan. In village areas and Taliban strong holds women's education or any form of women empowerment is seen as an evil to the society. However things have improved (slightly, if I may so) in the last 10 years from what it was during Taliban regime. Girls attending schools has gone up from few hundreds during Taliban ruling to few millions now. And there are a number of elected women parliamentarians and the current speaker is a lady and she has plans to run for the next presidential seat. But again when it comes to overall aspects of women and their rights, this country is far behind the rest of the world.4. whether Malala Yousufzai was a stray incidence or girls dont have any rights

Some VR2 details revealed!
SNEAK PEEK: Kamal Haasan’s ‘Vishwaroopam’ Sequel… More Sob-Sob, Less Bang-Bang
MUMBAI: Kamal Haasan has recovered from the volley of
controversies surrounding ‘Vishwaroop’ / ‘Vishwaroopam’. He is all set
to begin work on the sequel which would again be a Hindi-Tamil
bi-lingual with the same cast.
We can immediately reveal that the sequel will be shot in Jordan and
would go back deep into the personal history of the protagonist
Vishwanath played by Kamal Haasan.
Apparently there will be a mother-son story this time which would be central to the plot.
Revealing vital details from the sequel Kamal Haasan says, “This time
the emotional quotient would be a lot higher than in the first film. In
‘Vishwaroop’ we had the ladies in the first half-hour. And then we lost
them. It became too much a bang-bang boys’ thing… So yes, there will be
a mother-son angle to the story.”
Kamal Haasan also reveals that there would be a very strong romantic element in the plot.
We can also tell you that the main villain this time instead of Rahul
Bose, would be played by Jaideep Ahlawat who played one of the
secondary antagonists in the first film.
Says Kamal Haasan, “I’ve already started on the pre-production. And
in fact we have already shot 15 percent of the film. These are the war
sequences in the sequel that we couldn’t afford to shoot all over
again.”
Kamal Haasan feels shooting the sequel would be far easier than
shooting the first film. “All the main actors already have the script.
And the rhythm of narration has already been established. All we need to
do is get into the groove again,” says Kamal Haasan.
The first part of Vishwaroop made enough profits to fund and fuel the sequel.
“I am relieved to say that I can continue doing what I love doing. Making movies.”

yeah, that is something the neutrals should worry about. Specially the portions about KH getting chickened out during the negotiations, direct threat (your fate will become like Mani ratnam's) and so on. There is a fair chance that KH will not even make VRII, let alone release it... All this talk about VRII including the teaser trailer, helped us to overlook the loose ends in VR in the hope that we will get the answers to a lot of questions in VRII.....that might be something KH desperately wanted when the VRII teaser was included in the movie. (IMHO) But for the VRII teaser, the movie wud have just been another Aalavandaan.....brilliant in portions but with too many loose ends. Originally Posted by USV

Hindu extremists are not bringing or having international links and they are kind of straight forward. There is already a good opposition openly expressed against them by Hindus themselves. But it is not looking same for Islam. Its appearing very dangerous, irrespectful, and irritating. I don't worry if someone brands me, that doesn't change anything about me or those extremists from both camps. all i am asking is the govt shud act against and curb the powers taken by the Islam expremists and if possible bring them down to the level of Hindu extremists and then treat both(destroy) equally.

Vishwaroopam 2 is getting ready!!
By Moviebuzz
Source : SIFY
After the stupendous success of Vishwaroopam at the box-office, Kamal Haasan has started work on Vishwaroopam 2.
In an interview to a upcountry publication Kamal had hinted that the film is profitable. Kamal said: "My fans in Tamil Nadu are overwhelmingly supporting Vishwaroopam and it has already been talked as my biggest carrier hit. I am happy that I will not be questioned by my brother and co-producer Chandra Haasan.”
Now Kamal Haasan is geared up for the film`s sequel. The buzz is that he has enough footage to kickstart Vishwaroopam 2. The pre-production of the sequel has started and Kamal has already canned 25% of the sequel as these were war scenes which he couldn`t afford to shoot again.
All the actors who were there in the first part would be there and there is a chance that more actors may be added to the sequel. In the interview he also added that “the emotional quotient in the movie would be high thanks to a mother-son angle”. And he has also promised more romance in the sequel which was missing in the first part.

If LTTE did use civilains as human shields, why did they not do that b4 to defeat SLA to take control of jaffna??? and why did they not do that when they defeated IPKF? why did they not do that when SLA defeated LTTE again in 2000 and push them back to vanni? where is the logic ??

Regarding Rajiv's death, he betrayed Tamils! He planned to assassinate Parabakaran, in Chennai! He planned to house arrest him. Because Prabakaran did not agree to his Terms and Conditions for a separate state in SL. His plot along with GoSL is to disarm LTTE in cunning disguise of (peace talks/cease fire) and to eliminate them, this did not work and the IPKF was facing heavy defeats by LTTE, all this made Rajiv very unpopular in TN and SL.
I was a kid when IPKF attacked Tamils in Jaffna, they took on the civilians, because they could not fight LTTE, I have seen it all; I have seen things which a child should not see.
BTW there is new evidence that some Italian Mafia was involved in Rajiv's death. pls read the "Situation in Srilanka" thread for further info.
Sinhala civilians’ death is like a peanut compared to Tamil civilian deaths!
I hate violence, but if some one's freedom is suppressed, one has no choice but to fight for it

eh?
The LTTE was a dangerous, ruthless, bloodthirsty, psychopathic murderous guerrilla outfit that never thought twice about butchering civilians of all genders, ages and ethnicities for the furtherance of its ideological aims and that of its intransigent leader.
I make it a point not to discuss this here because of two reasons:
a) There are a few here who are personally affected by the conflict in SL and it is a sentimental issue for them. I have no opinion that I feel compelled to express at the expense of hurting people who have suffered personal losses.
b) The Tigers are defunct now, the focus should be on SL's war-crimes. So talking about LTTE atrocities now is counterproductive as, in one way or the other, it ends up bolstering GoSL's impunity.
But in this cycle-gap if a conduct certificate is being inveigled for LTTE (perhaps some minor skirmishes in the 80s, 90s ) then I feel compelled to interject, lest readers should be misled. The truth is there for all to read - who are truly willing to engage with the complexity.
Now read point b above again.
Bye

1.yes sir. pl refer to my earlier post about J&K situation, before and after US invasion and that of roshan sir who lives in afghan. many can vouch for the fact that due the presence of US in this region, the hardcore islamic terrorists are kept in control. i even dreamt US will invade pak also after OBL was found there and terminated. i dont feel shy in supporting US in this regard.

For God sake, pls educate your self about Eezham history, before posting!!! After LTTE were driven to vanni, all their families went along with them and lived in jungle! Most civilians got killed in cross fire, and most of the civilian got killed , because they did not want to leave their family members (LTTE) to die alone, if a member of your family says leave me to die, you run for your life, would you do it??? these things happen only in films!
If LTTE did use civilains as human shields, why did they not do that b4 to defeat SLA to take control of jaffna??? and why did they not do that when they defeated IPKF? why did they not do that when SLA defeated LTTE again in 2000 and push them back to vanni? where is the logic ??
My reply:SL tamizh issue is very old and vexed issue and i would admit honestly im not an authority on that issue. but this much is sure. both SL and LTTE hands are covered in blood of slain tamizhs.

I am damn sure Lotus already made enough profits..thiruttu VCD,DVD's are sold by them only and not by others..As i said earlier they are the big fish here doing lot of business like lotus hotel,movie distributions,theaters,theme parks,etc & without knowing them no one can sale thiruttu VCD's,DVD's.All CD,DVD sales are routed via lotus only..In Lotus hotel,brickfields they sold Vishwaroopam CD for RM25 before 25 days..Moreover they have sold some copy of the DVD to online sites for fixed price..If you check Rajtamil the Vishwaroopam movie is available and you can see Lotus five star logo embedded in the screen...From thiruttu CD's,DVD's alone they would have earned 4C in theaters till march 3rd collection is around 2C so the overall collection will end to 4-4.5C..total so far 4+4C=8C..distribution rights->7C..lot more revenue left like Astro Tv telecast rights,official DVD release...

I guess they are knowingly doing this cruel act to bring down the crowd when it releases in theaters there. Since its major muslim population, ithellaam venumne pannura maathiri irukku. also no release in UAE.
Now Malaysia and UAE are into dirty politics. Now nobody can think of a successful and peaceful release in these two countries if the film is anything about islam

Checked CBO for last week in behindwoods..VR at No.2 and they have mentioned week-end shows 96 occupancy 40%..Sathyam theater'la mattum 17shows/day so total 34 shows for week-end,mayajaal->12 shows,AGS navalur->6,AGS Villivakkam->8..idhu mattumae 60 show varuthu and out of 60 shows except sat morning 9PM and sunday night 10PM shows 90% theater full..i checked that..in mayajaal except night 11PM shows all shows housefull in auro 3d,same with AGS..
With 96 shows during week-end theater occupancy will not be less than 70% for sure..
Vettri theater said Vishwaroopam collection in vettri is next to Enthiran but they removed screening from last week when its running smoothly and currently running 5 movies none of them crossed 50% occupancy during week-ends..CCI probe might be the reason

Sudden drop in information.How many theatres still running in TN and other parts of India.Has the Hindi version finished it's run?How much did it gross?What is the total gross across India and the rest of the world till now?How much will RKFI end up with from theatricals alone?
What happened to the DTH plans?
Also,funny to read reports that VR2 will be made in Auro 3D.What's the big thing about it.VR itself has used this technology,the surprise will be if VR2 does not use it.

Cinefan,
He shud have clearly mentioned in that FICCI pressmeet that VR2 will ALSO be made with Auro3D. Its his (small) mistake and our press needs such spoon feeding.
When Kamal released the hindi Version of the VR's Auro 3D Trailer, some idiot mis quoted it as Auro Trailer! (missing the term 3D) You know what?! all the hi-tech equipped so called sane Bollywood Media copied that post and tweeted, blogged with same Wrong Title! "Vishwaroop Aruo Trailer"
Reg DTH, our man will keep on saying it will come(for VR1 !!) Maruthanaayagam e Kattaayam Release aagumnu sollittu irukkaaru But slight hope at end of tunnel is the recent news taht Competition Comission of India took up Kamal's Complaint. Also he said something like "I won't repeat the mistakes of VR Release, during VR2" something like that..
In Bangalore, the show is ON in PVR till this weekend and hopefully after that also!
"Sudden drop in information" may be becos almost everyone spent more energy and posted more, now seems all are taking rest! We know VR2 is ON. Hubber Supe is an "insider" who chirps us some info! So lets rejoice, as of now!

Am confused why he highlighted Auro 3D,should have said something new.
Finally evvalavvu dhaan kaasu paartharu,RKFI atleast should start a transparency trend by releasing all figures.Anyways he pays his taxes(however unreasonable they may be),so why shy away.

படத்தின் அடிப்படை லாஜிக் ஓட்டையைத் தவிர்த்துவிட்டு (ரா ஏஜெண்டு(களு)ம் எம்.ஐ 6 ஏஜெண்டும் அமெரிக்க சி.ஐ.ஏவுக்குத் தெரியாமல் அமெரிக்காவைக் காப்பாற்ற முயற்சி செய்வதெல்லாம் கொஞ்சம் ஓவர்...) பார்த்தால், நன்றாகத்தான் இருந்தது. அமெரிக்க ஆதரவுப் படம், முஸ்லிம் எதிர்ப்புப் படம் என்றெல்லாம் என் மண்டைக்குத் தோன்றவில்லை. இரண்டாம் பாதியில் படத்தை ஸ்லோவாக்கியிருப்பது ரசிகர்களுக்குப் புரியாவிட்டால் என்ன ஆவது என்ற பயம்தான் என்று நினைக்கிறேன். இந்த பயம் இருக்கும்வரை கோலிவுட்டால் ஹாலிவுட் ரேஞ்சுக்குப் படம் எடுக்கவே முடியாது. சின்னச் சின்ன சொதப்பல்களையெல்லாம் தாண்டி, தொழில்நுட்ப அளவில் உச்சத்தை எட்டியுள்ள தமிழ்ப் படம் இது என்று தாராளமாகச் சொல்லலாம். படம் பல இடங்களில் பா. ராகவனின் பல புத்தகங்களை நினைவுபடுத்துகிறது என்று யாரும் கவனித்ததாகத் தெரியவில்லை.

Idhu enna ,EQ focussing on mother-son(Rahul Bose's supposedly dead wife and son ?) sentiment and more romance.
Wish the sequel has more action and not stuff which will bog down the movie trying to 'cover'all sections of the audience a-la a normal film maker.
Anyways,too early to discuss.Let it start rolling and release this year without problems.

My worry with VR2 is, intha manushan ekka chakka trailers release pannaama irukkaNum! If you see, almost majority of the scenes covered in Trailers, for VR1. Some were bits, some scenes were quite long in trailer. So that one can connect things. Enakku ithu oru problem aa irunthathu. I somewhat felt un-fresh, erkanave paartha feeling, even though many things can be understood only after watching the film, and noth with trailer.
I wud have felt more excited and the movie be more fresh, had if i not seen those trailers. This time, i have decided to watch the movie without seeing trailer.

Sudden drop in information.How many theatres still running in TN and other parts of India.Has the Hindi version finished it's run?How much did it gross?What is the total gross across India and the rest of the world till now?How much will RKFI end up with from theatricals alone?
What happened to the DTH plans?
Also,funny to read reports that VR2 will be made in Auro 3D.What's the big thing about it.VR itself has used this technology,the surprise will be if VR2 does not use it.
And the 'Hindu' article was stuff,says VR2 will have mother-son sentiments.WTF?

The Independent's take on 100 years of Indian cineama. Everything is about Hindi cinema except the poster which has Pandiaraj.
Ignorance of the extreme. For the west Indian cinema is Hindi cinema, wonder means Taj Mahal. South does not exist in their mindset.

Modhalla naanum indha Metromasti'ya ennamo edhonu nenachen. But looks like they do have a good team to report pullivivaram. For Vishwaroopam, right from the first day they have been publishing the total daily domestic collections which no other site or trade analyst did. And these were tweeted and re-tweeted by many everyday, and were even ridiculed by Kamal haters. But few days after the site reported 120cr, Rahul Bose came out with his famous tweet, and a day or two after it touched 200, Pooja Kumar announced it in a show. This silenced the detractors. Now every major site/newspaper/magazine has publicized the collection records, which I'm sure they would not have done without verifying. But vidhai, IMO, indha metromasti pottadhu.

To summarize,IMO,VR has got it's due,nothing to crib about.

Eega had all the spl effects visible as it is. It was meant to showcase spl effects. But Vishwa is opposite, what and all we see as realistic, are not! And the epitome of it is bringing chennai and Jordan in single frame and also making us believe its true! But our guys will always grasp things when they are well exposed, not well hidden!

Guess what, me being part of some visual effects sequences I have to say this without taking away credit from any of those National Award winners; the whole Afghan New York were visual effects man!!!!! It shows how immatured the jury were or how brilliant the visual effects were to make believe its a set or cinematography!!! Have you ever seen the controversy on Life of Pie? They said 80% of the movie was shot against green screen!!! In Vishwaroopam it was 90%....!!!!!!!!! Just because we make visual effects so realistic we get these kind of doormat recognition?????? Very very sad! To get National Award just go and show on screen it is visual effects ...!!!! We all gave our heart and soul though I was part of only 20% of Vfx in the movie!!!! Just because it wasn't show cased to public it doesn't mean there is no Vfx!!!! It's incredible in the film...!!!! We are still proud of being a studio to work on a film like this and take pride in hiding visual effects and passing on the benefits to other departments to make them feel good!... We are upset though!!!! Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

But a doubt,any idea how these technical details are presented to the jury?I mean,is a presentation given to the them(the right way of doing it)or do they make their own decisions after watching the film.
If it's the second one,how will they know where all work has gone in on the visuals?

I was told they never look at before and after! In the sense they don't see what was shot and what we see on screen as final shots! Now, that's a drag!!!!! They just go by what the media review is all about!!!! In Vishwaroopam it was ultra realistic!!!!!! One could feel and stay on with story! Kamal sir is such a perfectionist he wouldn't want Vfx to be on the screen and he pushed visual effects to a greater limits by making it so invisible! That's why his films are always considered technecially brilliant!!! If you actually notice all the reviews that came about Vishwaroopam they all said its technically brilliant!!!! They couldn't understand it was squarely visual effects but they were wondering as if something is different in this film as no way it could have shot in Afghan!!!! Maybe they would have believed about New York but Afghan was tricky!!!! Originally Posted by Cinefan

Look at your Madhu's words here and how Media kept the headline just exactly opposite to what he said.
Kamal Haasan's 'Viswaroopam' is not high on special effects
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/kamal-haa...82-71-180.html
"Ask him if 'Vishwaroopam' will match Hollywood movies in terms of the visual element, and Madhu confidently says , "I would say yes. If the makers of 'Matrix' and 'Lord of the Rings' like 'Vishwaroopam', you can imagine how the movie is.""

Listen, when we see Enthiran, Ra.One and Eega... People will wonder and laugh at visual effects in Vishwaroopam!!!! Because the mantra is show visual effects on screen to get awards! Look at Maatran ..... Have you forgotten Aalavandhan came 14 years ago and had a stupendous visual effects in terms showing double action with lots of interactive stunts????

Agree, totally and as I mentioned earlier Forrest Gump won an Oscar for visual effects and the VEs are not visible anywhere in the movie. But the juries there were intelligent enough to understand the work and reward appropriately. We are far too behind, sadly Originally Posted by Supe

Honest, Eega is also surely a good candidate though, i don't know how it is taking the Indian VFX industry technically ahead. Ppl like Supe only can explain.
Its most common tendency for most of us to see what is visible outside, and what is visible easily to eyes, rather than looking deep. But as for VFX, it cannot be right, always, since VFX is done for most of the times, even for our Indian films, only to hide/combine something and not to show something. Having said that, one really wants to know what basic guidelines the NA team follows in selecting a candidate.
Anyways, a Kamal film is always discussed and dissected for many years and also Vishwa has some first class, and some first in india kind of VFX, so its due and power will be understood by fans, if not now, surely later! but for films like eega, no one will be raving its technical finesse for long time, and so, only now, it can gain praise since it will fade out in coming days.

i just replied in general about people's mindset & not compared anything here..
once i read that Sabu cyril was denied an award.. the committee did not believe the Guruvayur temple he re-created was a set.. they were convinced that it was shot at the temple itself.. so, whom to blame in this.. its like, u do your work silently & successfully but ur boss or someone who needs to take a note of it is not intelligent enough to see the worth of it..
for VFX category, do the makers need to show the committee the "making of" video or a little presentation for them to understand? else how do they know about the latest technologies used here.. not all will be tech savvy

If jury people consider this category, then the corresponding panel members should have sound knowledge on VFX and its their job is to review whatever the requests arrived as nomination and choose the best. I do hope Madhu's work of VR reached their Jury's table as nominee. Supe can confirm. Originally Posted by HonestRaj

வீட்டில் இதைப்பற்றி மனைவியுடன் உரையாடும்போது அவங்களோட விருப்பமான திரை நடனக் கலைஞர் மாதுரியை விட்டுக்கொடுக்காமல், "அப்படிப் பார்த்தால் தேவதாஸ் படத்தின் ஆசிரியர் பிர்ஜூவின் நடன அசைவுகளை திரையில் மிகவும் அழகாக, நளினமாக வெளிப்படுத்திய மாதுரிக்கும் அந்த ஆண்டுக்கான தேசிய விருது கிடைத்திருக்கணும்" எனச் சொன்னார்கள்.

I thank Kamal Haasan: Pandit Birju Maharaj on National Award for Vishwaroopam
http://cdn.ndtv.com/movies/images/ka...choreo-big.jpg
Pandit Birju Maharaj said he would like to thank his parents for the National Award he won for Best Choreography for Kamal Haasan's multilingual spy-thriller Vishwaroopam.
"I got to know that I won the National Award through calls I have been receiving since evening. I never had any expectations but now that I have got it, I would like to thank my parents for the same. I had least expectations because I only believe in my work," Pandit Birju Maharaj said.
"Kamal Haasan too has a part in this honour I have received. I should thank him for giving me an opportunity to choreograph a song in the south," he added.
How was it working with Kamal Haasan?
"Even though he is a highly talented dancer, he did lot of hard work for the song. He spent hours getting every step right and he deserves special appreciation for that. What is more interesting is that he is the only male I have ever choreographed for," he said.
Pandit Birju Maharaj won the award for choreographing the song Unnai Kaanadhu Naan, which features Kamal Haasan performing Kathak steps.

Supe,
Thanks for bringing into the open how the NA's work.Therinjadhu dhaan but some things are new to me esp the No presentation to the Jury on the technical stuff like Vfx.So,obviously only films where there are evident effects will win.
We should move towards the Oscar system of nomination and voting.Seems silly that a three member jury decides things that too on majority vote.People like Saroja Devi have been part of the jury earlier makes it even more 'kodumai'.
Still remember Girish Kasaravalli's*(Head of the Jury that particular year) open statement that Hey Ram deserved Best feature film and Best Director but his opinion was shot down by the other two.
* Every film he makes picks up an award,that is the kind of reputation he carries.
As for 2012,IMO VR got two but deserved probably four(Effects and Cinematography too esp for effects).

The California State gave him fifteen awards and certificates for his contribution to arts!!! I guess that was in 2005!!! He is the only Supe who had taken India to Hollywood! We feel we got an award whenever he gets! Look at his precision of work in VR..!!!! Well if someone works for Kamal Sir for more than four films that shows the credibility!!! I loved the latest film The Host trailer on YouTube which is his latest Hollywood film as visual effects supervisor!... He is Godfather of Vfx for us though he is not that old Originally Posted by Arvind Srinivasan

"விஸ்வரூபம் படம் ஓடிருச்சி , மக்கள் ரசிச்சாங்க, அதுவே போதும்!, இதுக்கும் மேல விருதுகளை எதிர்பார்க்காதிங்க " என்ற தொனியில அமைந்த உங்க கருத்திற்குத் தான் நான் ஈகாவும் வெற்றிகரமாக ஓடியதை சுட்டிக் காட்டினேன். எல்லாவிதமான டெக்னிக்கல் விஷயத்திலும் விஸ்வரூபம் பாய்ந்த பாய்ச்சல் மற்றவைகளைக் காட்டிலும் ரொம்ப தூரங்க. இதுபோன்ற கொந்தளிப்புகள் இருக்கணும். இருக்கத்தான் செய்யும். அப்போதான் கொஞ்சமாவது அதிருப்தி அதிர்வலைகள் கிளம்பும். கொஞ்ச கொஞ்சமாக வெகுசனத்தின் பொதுப்புத்தியில் போய் உட்காரும். இந்த அதிருப்தியை எதோ ஒரு நடிகரின் விசிறிகளாக மட்டுமே அடையாளப்படுத்துவது தவறு. நடுநிலைமையாக இருக்கும் ஒவ்வொருவருமே குரல் கொடுக்கணும்.

"I regret doubting Kamal for his capability/knowledge in commercial accepts of a movie. Seeing this fight I understand that if Kamal wants to do commercial movies, no one can beat him. I have to support Kamal when he makes movies like Hey Ram etc."
This guy was a hardcore fan.. later got so upset with Kamal stopping so called commercial movies. I agree with some of his view points.

Great to know that many many liked this stunt! Kamal sir placed it nicely!!! Master stroke I would say!!!! I was told this one particular scene was shot for two weeks somewhere outskirts of chennai. The reason for taking so much time to shoot this scene was; obviously visual effects!!! I am not going to spoil it by saying what were visual effects shots in that !!!
Just spoke to Madhu Sir.... You guys are in for a surprise in VR2...! Unbelievable what I heard...! Lift your head high for its sheer uniqueness and very very inventive and innovative visual effects in VR2!!!!!

Thank you for the updates Supe. When you do get a chance to meet KH and co, give them our sincere thanks for the efforts (everyone deserves it!) for a movie like VR.
Is Madhu sir going to collaborate with some of London's top VFX for VR-2 like Soundarya did with Kochadaiyaan just recently?

Supe, When you say mind-blowing etc, is it mostly in the context of shooting the scenes in Chennai and making it look like Afganisthan/US and perhaps some bombing sequences?

‘Vishwaroopam’ Box Office Collection: Kamal Haasan Starrer Earns 220 Crores
Kamal Haasan's spy thiller film "Vishwaroopam" has reportedly made a record collection of over 220 crores at box offices across the world.
In the overseas market, the film completed six week and is still running at US and UK theatres in its seventh week. After its seventh weekend, the film raked in approximately 6.79 crore from US theatres.
In India, the spy thriller completed its one month at Tamil Nadu theatres and is continuing to draw audiences. In Malaysia, where the film was released after a month of its scheduled date, a similar response was seen.
In January, the spy thriller landed in a controversy after which it faced a ban in home state Tamil Nadu and in some other countries including Malaysia. But the controversy helped the film earn even more at collection centres.
"The espionage thriller was reportedly made on a budget of 95 crore and has grossed over 220 crore," PTI reported on Wednesday.
The earnings from the film have hopefully solved the Haasan's financial problems. Apparently, Haasan, who is the director and co-producer of the film, has mortgaged his house to make the most expensive film.
Although, the film has crossed the 200 crore mark, it failed to beat Rajinikanth's "Endhiran" box office record. According to reports, "Endhiran" has grossed over 400 crore worldwide.
Ezhuda dan ezhudara..1000 crore nu ezhuden.

Kamal Haasan comes in person for Prakash Raj
During the first season of Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi (NVOK) hosted by Suriya, an episode featured Sruthi Haasan tackling the trivia posed to her. At one instance she used the ‘Phone A Friend’ lifeline and sought the assistance of her father, Kamal Haasan, who had absolutely no trouble with the tricky question, that was based on Tamil literature.
His involvement just over the telephone drew a lot of excitement from the audience and that feeling is set to double soon as Kamal Haasan will be putting his wits to the test as he’s set to participate in the current season of NVOK which is being hosted by Prakash Raj.
It is believed that Kamal will be in AVM studios today to shoot for the episode. He will also be travelling to Delhi in the next few days, presumably to meet Pandit Birju Maharaj in person and congratulate him on receiving the national award.

As reported earlier, Kamal Haasan would be the special guest on an episode of Prakash Raj’s Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi (NVOK). This episode is expected to be aired on the 14th of April, 2013 in Vijay TV.
The shooting for this episode has been going on since the morning today, 23rd March, in AVM studios and an official update is expected to be given out any time. A little birdie also informs us that Kamal managed to win a prize money of 50 lakhs. Now, that sure is a big sum to take home.
This episode is sure to be something special and worth looking forward to, for all Kamal fans and TV buffs

#Vishwaroopam Part 2
விஸ்வரூபம் பார்ட்-2 என்ன கதை ?
கமலின் வீட்டுப் பத்திரங்களை பத்திரப்படுத்தி விட்டது “விஸ்வரூபத்தின்” வெற்றி. நடனம், கலை வடிவமைப்பு என லேட்டஸ்ட்டாக கிடைத்துள்ளது 2 தேசிய விருதுகள். வெற்றி தந்த உற்சாகத்தை, விருதுகளின் பற்றாக்குறை லேசாக வடியச் செய்திருந்தாலும், “விஸ்வரூபம் பார்ட்-2” வேலைகளில் எப்போதோ இறங்கிவிட்டார் கமல். முதல் பார்ட்டின் போதே செகண்ட் பார்ட்டிற்கான பெரும்பாலான படப்பிடிப்பையும் சேர்த்தே முடித்துவிட்டார்களாம். எப்போதும் அட்வான்ஸாகவே பிளான் பண்ணும் கமலுக்கு, இந்த பார்ட் 2 ஐடியா தற்செயலாகத்தான் தோன்றியது என்கிறது கமல் வட்டாராம். நடந்தது என்ன?
“விஸ்வரூபம்” படத்தின் க்ளைமாக்ஸ் தவிர்த்த மற்ற காட்சிகளை எடுத்து முடித்து போட்டுப் பார்த்தபோது நான்கரை மணி நேரத்திற்கு மேல் வந்துள்ளது. என்ன செய்யலாம் என்று கெட்டப் தாடியைத் தடவியப்போது டக்கென்று வந்து நின்றது பார்ட் 2 ஐடியா. ஆக, இரண்டாம் பார்ட்டிற்கான 60 சதவீதக் காட்சிகள் முதல் பார்ட்டிலேயே கிடைத்து விட்டன. மீதமிருந்த 40 சதவீத வேலைகளே இப்போது நடக்கிறது. செகண்ட் பார்ட் கதை இதுதான்...
அமெரிக்கவிலிருந்து தப்பிக்கும் தீவிரவாத தலைவன் உமர் இந்தியாவுக்குள் நுழைகிறான். அவனைப் பிடிக்க போடும் திட்டங்கள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் எப்படியோ லீக் ஆக, எஸ்கேப் ஆகிறான் உமர். வாரத்திற்கு 2 இடங்கள் என தனது இருப்பிடத்தை மாற்றிக் கொண்டே போகும் உமரைப் பிடிக்க இந்திய அரசாங்கம் தலையைப் பிய்த்துக்கொள்கிறது. மனைவி, ஹனிமூன் என்று விடுமுறையை என்ஜாய் பண்ணிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் உளவுத்துறை அதிகாரியான கமல் மறுபடியும் என்ட்ரி ஆகி தீவிரவாத தலைவன் உமருக்கு கட்டம் கட்டுகிறார். இதோடு படம் முடிகிறதா அல்லது 3 வது பார்ட் எடுக்கும் யோசனை கமலிடம் இருக்கிறதா என்பது அவருக்கு மட்டுமே தெரிந்த ரகசியம்.
பார்ட் டூவில் வேறென்ன ஸ்பெஷல் ?
நடுவானில் பறக்கும் 2 விமானங்களில் இருந்தபடி வில்லனும், உளவுத்துறை அதிகாரியான கமலும் மோதும் ஒரு சண்டைக்காட்சி ஆக்*ஷன் ரசிகர்களுக்கு சூப்பர் தீனியாக இருக்குமாம். ரொமான்ஸ் ஏரியாவிலும் காதல் ரசம் சொட்டுகிறாராம் கமல். “எனக்கு விஷ்வநாத்தைத்தான் பிடிக்குது” என சிணுங்கும் ஆண்ட்ரியாவுக்காக, அதில் டான்ஸர் கெட்டப்பில் மாறும் கமல், அடுத்த வருட தேசிய விருதையும் அபகரிக்கும் அளவுக்கு சிறப்பான நடனம் அமைக்கத் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளாராம். முதல் பார்ட்டில் இருந்த புறாக் கால்களில் அணுக்கதிர் துகள்களை கட்டி விடுவது போன்ற ‘அட’ போட வைக்கும் ஐடியாக்களையும் ஆங்காங்கே நுழைக்கிறாராம்.
படத்தில் விஷூவல் எஃபெக்டின் பங்கு மிக முக்கியம் என்பதால், விஷூவல் எஃபெக்ட் மதுசூதனுடன் தினமும் ஆலோசனையில் இருக்கிறார் கமல். நடுவானில் விமானத்தில் போடும் சண்டைக் காட்சி முழுக்க விஷூவல் எஃபெக்டில்தான் எடுக்கப்படுகிறது. இதற்காக செட் போடும் பணி நடந்து வருகிறது. கதைப்படி சென்னையை குண்டு வைத்துத் தகர்க்க தீவிரவாதிகள் திட்டம் போடுகின்றனர். இதற்கு எச்சரிக்கை விடுவது போல சாம்பிளுக்கு சென்னையின் ஒரு பகுதியை குண்டு வைத்து தகர்க்கின்றனர். இந்தக் காட்சிக்கு அவ்வளவு பெரிய பிரம்மாண்டமான செட் போடுவதெல்லாம் சான்ஸே இல்லை. முழுக்க முழுக்க விஷூவல் எஃபெக்ட்டில் இதுவும் மதுசூதனின் கைவண்ணத்திலேயே உருவாகி வருவதாகத் தகவல் அறிந்த வட்டாராங்களில் சொல்கிறார்கள்.

Though most Q's were edited out,could understand the context.balanced talk.
Assume the last Q was about the "Pardon Sanjay Dutt" campaign going on in the industry now started by a half ticket called Katju(Ex-SC Judge aam :banghed: ).Good Kamal sidestepped it with a good retort.
His looks remind me of the Guna days.Despite all the pressures over the last 8 to 9 months,he is looking more younger and fitter.
Just hope he starts writing like the 80's and 90's.

Same time, Katju is not a Half Ticket! He is a person with sane mind, he fought and asked many daring questions against politicians, in twitter. Err, ellaarume ellaa vishayatulayume correct aa irukkurathillaye! Namma aaLe, oru community mela paarapatcham kaatti mela vechi pesuraarE!
My personal opinion is, if Dutt is found guilty against law, without any thought, he shud be put behind bars. Eppadiyum oru 2, 3 yearsla, velila kondu vanthuduvaanga athu vera. but this will serve as an example that justice is still living in india. its very rare that happens in india

sakala,
I have read enough about Katju,he is a disoriented chap.For every sane comment,he makes ten insane ones( 1,10 ellam oru example-kkaga).
There are many who talk the right stuff about politicians,adhellam oru kanakku illai.
Wrt SL issue,this is not the right forum to discuss but people abusing Kamal are not looking at it properly.They just want him to do a 'fast',issue emotive,provocative statements about the Lankans and play to the fringe element gallery.
Very volatile situation for a high profile personality,most would prefer to keep mum or follow the herd.I liked the way he said a child being murdered will affect any body and not just Tamilians and he is against any ethnic cleansing-Tamils,Palestinians or even if it had happened to the lankans

However, the Appellant was not found guilty of all other offences for which he was charged and, accordingly, acquitted for all the said offences.
The confessional statement of A-117 was duly recorded under Section 15 of TADA on 26.04.1993 at 15.30 hrs. (First Part) and on 28.04.1993 at 1600 hrs. (Second Part) by Shri Krishan Lal Bishnoi (PW-193), the then DCP, Zone III, Bombay. The following extracts from the confession of the Appellant are pertinent:
(i) I am having three valid license for fire arms and possess 3 fire arms as mentioned below:
(a) 270 Rifle of BRUNO make;
(b) 375 Magnum Double barreled Rifle; and
(c) 12 Bore Gun of Double Barrel.
(ii) I purchased these weapons due to my fondness for hunting. I normally go for hunting with one friend of mine, viz., Mr. Yusuf Nullwala as he is an experienced hunter. I also know one friend of Yusuf Nullwala by name Kersi Bapuji Adajenia and met him three times.
(iii) In December, 1991, I had given dates for shooting to actor producer Firoz Khan for his film Yalgar. He had taken the whole unit for shooting in Dubai. During one of the shootings, Firoz Khan introduced me to one Mr. Daud Ibrahim and also to his brother Anees during another shooting session. After that, Anees used to visit us regularly during the shootings and also at the place of our stay.
(iv) Since Anees used to come frequently, I become well acquainted with him.
(v) I also know the proprietors of Magnum Video, namely Hanif Kandawala and Samir Hingora. I also signed for acting in one of their film Sanam. Samir is treasurer of Indian Motion Picture Association (IMPA). Hanif and Samir used to come quite frequently to my house for taking dates for shooting from my Secretary.
(vi) Hanif told me that if I so desire, he would make immediate arrangements to provide an automatic fire arm to me for my protection. Initially, I did not show any interest but when Hanif and Samir started repeatedly telling me to acquire a firearm from them, I gradually fell prey to their persistent suggestion and expressed my desire to Hanif and Samir. They said that they would immediately provide me with an automatic fire arm. (vii) One day, in mid Jan., in the evening, around 9.00 to 9.30 p.m., Hanif and Samir came to my house along with one person by name Salem. I had met this Salem once or twice earlier also.
(viii) Then these 3 fellows told me that they were coming tomorrow morning with the weapons to be delivered to you. Then they went away.
(ix) Next day morning Samir, Hanif and Salem all three came to my house along with one other person who is not known to me.
(x) They came in a Maruti Van and parked it in a Tin shed which is used by us for parking our vehicles. One person was sitting inside the Maruti Van. After about 15-20 min., he took out three rifles and they said it is AK-56 rifles.
(xi) I got some cloth from my house and gave it to them. Salem and the person who has come with him wrapped those rifles in the cloth and gave it to me.
(xii) When I opened and saw it, there were three rifles some magazines and rounds, they have told me that there are 250 rounds. The rounds were kept in another hand bag fetched by me.
(xiii) On seeing three rifles, I got scared and told them that I wanted only one weapon. Then Hanif and Salem told me to keep it for the time being and in case it is not required, we will take away the rest of the two weapons.
(xiv) They have also shown me some brown coloured hand-grenades and asked me whether I want that also. I do not want these grenades and you may please leave my house immediately, I told them.
(xv) I kept these rifles and ammunition in the dickey of my Fiat Car No. MMU 4372 and locked it.
(xvi) On the same night, I removed the three rifles and ammunition, kept the same in a handbag which I kept in my private hall which was on the 2nd floor of our bungalow.
(xvii) Two days thereafter, since I had considerable mental tension, I contacted Hanif Kandawala and requested him to take away the weapons. He said that he would arrange to send somebody to collect the same. After two days, Hanif Kandawala and Samir Hingora along with Salem came to my house in the evening in a car. I returned two AK-56 rifles and a part of the ammunition to them but retained one AK-56 rifle and some ammunitions with me.
(xviii) Around Sept. 1992, during one of my shooting at R.K. Studio, one Kayyum, who is a member of Dawood Ibrahim gang, who had also met me in Dubai at the time of shooting of the film Yalgar approached me with a stranger. They offered me a 9 mm pistol with ammunition. When I saw it, I liked it and had a strong desire to purchase the same. They offered it to me for a sum of Rs. 40,000/-. I paid the said amount in cash to them at my house and purchased the same. I do not know the name of that person who was brought by Kayyum. However, he was aged about 35-38 years, apparently, Muslim, dark complexion, height about 5'8", fat built, moustache, medium curly hair, wearing shirt and pant. I will be able to identify him if brought before me. He also handed over 8 rounds of the said pistol.
(xix) On 2nd April, I left for Mauritious for shooting of the film 'Aatish'. There I was informed by a casual contact that Hanif and Samir have been arrested by the Bombay Police for their complicity in bomb blasts.
(xx) On hearing the news, I got frightened as these fellows had given me the AK-56 rifles and they may tell my name to the police to involve me in the bomb blasts case. I contacted my friend Mr. Yusuf Nullwala on telephone and asked him that something is lying in a black coloured bag which is kept in my hall at the second floor of my house and it should be taken away immediately and destroy the things completely which are there in the bag, otherwise, I shall be in a great trouble. By this time, the news about my possession of AK-56 rifles had appeared in the press and on coming to know about this, my father asked me about the truthfulness of this news, but I denied the same. My anxiety about the whole episode became unbearable and I decided to return to Bombay in between. My father informed my flight details to the Police and I was picked up by police as soon as I landed at Bombay and I confessed the whole things to them.
19. The abovesaid confession highlighted the crime for which the Appellant-Sanjay Dutt has been charged. The following facts emerge from the abovesaid confession:
i) He was already having three licensed firearms.
ii) He developed acquaintance with Anees Ibrahim -brother of Dawood Ibrahim during a film-shooting in Dubai.
iii) He expressed his desire to Samir Hingora (A-53) and Hanif Kandawala (A-40) to have an automatic fire-arm.
iv) They came with one Salem with whom Sanjay Dutt was already acquainted with and they assured him of the delivery of weapons the next day in the morning.
v) They came in the morning of 16.01.1993 with one other person and delivered 3 AK-56 Rifles and 250 rounds.
vi) After 2 days, he returned 2 AK-56 and ammunitions but retained 1 AK-56 and some ammunition.
vii) In April, while he was shooting at Mauritius, he heard the news of the arrest of Samir and Hanif, on which, he got frightened and requested his friend Yusuf Nulwalla to destroy the weapons.
20. The Appellant (A-117) not only implicates himself in the above said statement but also amongst others the Appellant-Yusuf Nulwalla (A-118). The abovesaid confession has been duly recorded by PW-193 who has proved the compliance with the provisions of law while recording the confession. The abovesaid confession is a substantive piece of evidence and it has been held in a series of judgments that the confession can be the sole basis of conviction, if recorded in accordance with the provisions of TADA. Further, the confessional statement establishes the unauthorized possession of weapons in the notified area of Bombay.
Sentence:
72. Coming to sentence, A-117 has filed an additional affidavit dated 24.07.2012 highlighting the circumstances under which he was implicated, relationship of his family members with the victims etc. It is not in dispute that though the Appellant was also charged under TADA Act, the fact remains that he was acquitted of those charges and admittedly the CBI has not filed an appeal against the same. As said earlier, the Designated Court convicted him for the offences under Sections 3 and 7 read with Sections 25(1-A) and (1-B)(a) of the Arms Act, 1959. Consequently, in his additional affidavit, the Appellant has asserted that he is entitled to seek the benefit of Section 4 of Probation of Offenders Act.
73. The Appellant (A-117) asserted that though the prosecution involved him in Bombay Bomb Blast Case that he had knowledge as to the conspiracy and had kept in his possession fire arms and ammunitions as well as hand grenades knowing that the same were from the consignment that had landed for use in the said Blasts, the fact remains that the Designated Court did not accept the prosecution story against him and rejected his involvement in the conspiracy as well as any knowledge of the events as charged. The TADA Court has also held that the prosecution has failed to prove that the alleged arms in possession of the Appellant were from the same alleged consignment that was used in the said blasts.
74. It was also contended from the side of the Appellant that in the year 1992-93, the Appellant and his family members were involved in helping people residing in riots affected areas, more particularly, Behrampada, predominantly having a Muslim population which was objectionable to certain group of persons who were of the opinion that the Dutt family was sympathizers of only the Muslim community. In fact, this leads to an attack on Sunil Dutt in January, 1993 as well as threatening phone calls were being received at their residence, including threats to the family members being killed as well as the sisters of the Appellant being kidnapped and raped. This lead to a great and serious apprehension that an attack could be perpetrated upon the Dutt family in view of the fact that Shri Sunil Dutt had already been attacked. This apprehension was clearly set out in the letter of Shri Sunil Dutt to the then DCP of Zone VII dated 06.01.1993, wherein he asked for enhancing security arrangements further and for more police protection at his house as deposed by PW-219 in this case.
75. It is stated that A-117 had no previous involvement or conviction prior to one in 1992 which ended in acquittal. Thus, according to him, he is not a previous offender or a convict. In the event, this Court releases the Appellant on Probation under the provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act, neither any injustice would occasion to anyone as the offence in which he was convicted, is not even a social offence nor any prejudice be caused to the prosecution. He asserted that he is not a habitual offender, and is not likely to commit any offence in future. The TADA Court did not get any opportunity to complain about the conduct of the Appellant in 19 years. He further submitted that he has also suffered the agony of long trial of 13 1/2 (thirteen and a half) years. The stress and trauma of the same, besides the fact that he has carried the tag of an alleged terrorist for 13 1/2 (thirteen and a half) years though unwarranted, and has been deprived of the company of his daughter, is a punishment in itself. He has also stated that he had suffered mentally, physically and emotionally in the last several years.
76. He also informed this Court that he got married again in the year 2008 and is blessed with two children aged 1 and 1/2 years and they need their father's presence in their life. He further submitted that he has been actively involved in an AIDS charity and raises funds for the free treatment of aids patients who cannot afford the same, besides visiting the hospitals/centres. It is further submitted that he is on the Board of Directors of "Save the Children Foundation" and helping in raising funds for children who are needy, orphaned and destitute as their Brand Ambassador for a long time, even prior to his being charged in this case.
86. The circumstances and the nature of the offence as analysed and discussed above are so serious and we are of the view that they do not warrant A-117 the benefit of the provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act, however, taking note of various aspects, we reduce the sentence to minimum period, viz., 6 years to 5 years. The appeal is disposed of on the above terms.

vi) After 2 days, he returned 2 AK-56 and ammunitions but retained 1 AK-56 and some ammunition.
vii) In April, while he was shooting at Mauritius, he heard the news of the arrest of Samir and Hanif, on which, he got frightened and requested his friend Yusuf Nulwalla to destroy the weapons.
20. The Appellant (A-117) not only implicates himself in the above said statement but also amongst others the Appellant-Yusuf Nulwalla (A-118). The abovesaid confession has been duly recorded by PW-193 who has proved the compliance with the provisions of law while recording the confession. The abovesaid confession is a substantive piece of evidence and it has been held in a series of judgments that the confession can be the sole basis of conviction, if recorded in accordance with the provisions of TADA. Further, the confessional statement establishes the unauthorized possession of weapons in the notified area of Bombay.
Sentence:
72. Coming to sentence, A-117 has filed an additional affidavit dated 24.07.2012 highlighting the circumstances under which he was implicated, relationship of his family members with the victims etc. It is not in dispute that though the Appellant was also charged under TADA Act, the fact remains that he was acquitted of those charges and admittedly the CBI has not filed an appeal against the same. As said earlier, the Designated Court convicted him for the offences under Sections 3 and 7 read with Sections 25(1-A) and (1-B)(a) of the Arms Act, 1959. Consequently, in his additional affidavit, the Appellant has asserted that he is entitled to seek the benefit of Section 4 of Probation of Offenders Act.
73. The Appellant (A-117) asserted that though the prosecution involved him in Bombay Bomb Blast Case that he had knowledge as to the conspiracy and had kept in his possession fire arms and ammunitions as well as hand grenades knowing that the same were from the consignment that had landed for use in the said Blasts, the fact remains that the Designated Court did not accept the prosecution story against him and rejected his involvement in the conspiracy as well as any knowledge of the events as charged. The TADA Court has also held that the prosecution has failed to prove that the alleged arms in possession of the Appellant were from the same alleged consignment that was used in the said blasts.
74. It was also contended from the side of the Appellant that in the year 1992-93, the Appellant and his family members were involved in helping people residing in riots affected areas, more particularly, Behrampada, predominantly having a Muslim population which was objectionable to certain group of persons who were of the opinion that the Dutt family was sympathizers of only the Muslim community. In fact, this leads to an attack on Sunil Dutt in January, 1993 as well as threatening phone calls were being received at their residence, including threats to the family members being killed as well as the sisters of the Appellant being kidnapped and raped. This lead to a great and serious apprehension that an attack could be perpetrated upon the Dutt family in view of the fact that Shri Sunil Dutt had already been attacked. This apprehension was clearly set out in the letter of Shri Sunil Dutt to the then DCP of Zone VII dated 06.01.1993, wherein he asked for enhancing security arrangements further and for more police protection at his house as deposed by PW-219 in this case.
75. It is stated that A-117 had no previous involvement or conviction prior to one in 1992 which ended in acquittal. Thus, according to him, he is not a previous offender or a convict. In the event, this Court releases the Appellant on Probation under the provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act, neither any injustice would occasion to anyone as the offence in which he was convicted, is not even a social offence nor any prejudice be caused to the prosecution. He asserted that he is not a habitual offender, and is not likely to commit any offence in future. The TADA Court did not get any opportunity to complain about the conduct of the Appellant in 19 years. He further submitted that he has also suffered the agony of long trial of 13 1/2 (thirteen and a half) years. The stress and trauma of the same, besides the fact that he has carried the tag of an alleged terrorist for 13 1/2 (thirteen and a half) years though unwarranted, and has been deprived of the company of his daughter, is a punishment in itself. He has also stated that he had suffered mentally, physically and emotionally in the last several years.
76. He also informed this Court that he got married again in the year 2008 and is blessed with two children aged 1 and 1/2 years and they need their father's presence in their life. He further submitted that he has been actively involved in an AIDS charity and raises funds for the free treatment of aids patients who cannot afford the same, besides visiting the hospitals/centres. It is further submitted that he is on the Board of Directors of "Save the Children Foundation" and helping in raising funds for children who are needy, orphaned and destitute as their Brand Ambassador for a long time, even prior to his being charged in this case.
86. The circumstances and the nature of the offence as analysed and discussed above are so serious and we are of the view that they do not warrant A-117 the benefit of the provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act, however, taking note of various aspects, we reduce the sentence to minimum period, viz., 6 years to 5 years. The appeal is disposed of on the above terms.

BACK TO THE TOPIC :
Interview with the NAtional award winning art director,Lalgudi N Ilayaraja
http://www.thehindu.com/features/cin...cle4541656.ece
Lalgudi N. Ilayaraja has won the National Award for production design for Vishwaroopam alongside Thai collaborator Boontawee ‘Tor’ Taweepasas. Karthik Subramanian meets the young art director
When it comes to art direction in cinema, one works hard to be invisible.
“The challenge is to be as real as possible,” says 29-year-old Lalgudi N. Ilayaraja, national award winning production designer for the Kamal Haasan-directed Vishwaroopam, during an interview at his Virugambakkam residence. “If you walked out of the cinema hall, not noticing any of my work, I have succeeded.”
Some of the production designs for Vishwaroopam that he shows are stunning. There is more art work in the Kamal Haasan blockbuster than meets the eye. The gravity of being a National Award winner is yet to sink in for various reasons: Vishwaroopam is just his second release at the theatres; cinema is collaborative art, so he does not want to take sole credit (he shares the award with Thai collaborator Boontawee ‘Tor’ Taweepasas) and points out the hard work of cinematographer Sanu John Varghese and senior visual effects director Madhu Sudanan; and most important, he feels the timing is not apt for celebration. “There are so many people fasting and protesting for the Tamil cause.”
Epic proportions
Vishwaroopam is the kind of project that art directors would long to be associated with. It has come quite early in Ilayaraja's career. It is just his second release after the 2011 small-budget film Yuvan Yuvaathi. But his seven years as an assistant to award-winning art director Sabu Cyril in such projects as Kachivaram, Aakrosh, Om Shanti Om and Endhiran, he says, prepared him to handle the challenge of scale that Vishwaroopam presented.
While announcing the national award, the jury at the directorate of film festivals noted: “for a subject that transcends different times and space, the commendable production design has played a huge part in making this film what it is.”
Ilayaraja credits experienced Hollywood technician Boontawee Taweepasas (whose credits include The Beach and Bridget Jones's Diary) for preparing the detailed sets for the movie. The Thai national had made recce trips to Kazakhstan and Jordan (where some of the outdoor shots were canned) with director Kamal Haasan to come up with the kind of details and atmosphere needed for the story.
The efforts to create the Afghan village, a market place, the underground caves and the New York-style studio apartment involved a massive scale of work. “The Rajkamal production team spared no expense when it came to detailing the sets,” he says.
The Afghan village and the cave sets were erected within a huge complex just outside Chennai on a 1,000 ft by 1,000 ft block. It was 40 days of work involving over 1,500 labourers with three bull-dozers being used simultaneously to level the terrain and create a desert-like atmosphere. Sand samples were brought in from seven locations in Tamil Nadu, one of which was chosen to suit the look and feel of the movie. Over 800 loads of sand were brought in to construct the village and the cave sets. For the New York-style studio apartment, Ilayaraja credits Gauthami Tadimalla, also the costume designer of the movie, for her extensive inputs.
15-layer process
The art of creating film sets of the scale Vishwaroopam warranted was a cumbersome “15-layer” process, the art director says. Once a sketch is finalised, it is rendered in 3D using computer software, then a miniature model is created so that the production team can work on the finer details like where the camera can be placed and how the shots should be canned, so on and so forth.
Such extensive pre-production work is rare in Indian cinema. The prospect of working with Kamal, well-known for his near manic attention to detail, was enough to get him enthused about the project. “That Kamal Haasan chose me is award enough.”
Humble beginnings
Ilayaraja hails from Lalgudi in Tiruchi district of Tamil Nadu. He was always interested in drawing since his student days at the Lalgudi Government Higher Secondary School, a passion, he says, his father S.K. Natarajan fuelled by giving him small perks like pocket money for his best sketches. “Each time he gave me Rs. 10 for a good drawing, I would think of how I could get him to give me more money.” He says he owes his success entirely to him.

Guess that they are most of the time thinking that artists are special ppl. This thought drives them towards many things, they meet CM for their personal issues which they themselves shud solve, like settu merattifying for his debt he gave, getting salary dues from films they work, income tax/raid issues, and many other things. They always thinks politicans will help and solve their problems. As Goundamani says, Divorce case kooda eduthuttu poraanga politicians kitta! They make Politicians and power centers as sombu illaatha naattaamais, and when this kind of judgement comes against stars, they wonder why can't some politician solve and keep him away from punishment. Contrast this with kamal, who goes to Kalaigner to say that he will get his salary ONLY in white! (for MMA) and even he kept away with power centers for the recent vishwaroopam too.

In Bangaore, it seems the film print is being shifted ti 3rd level theaters it seems. Starting from Electronic City to BommanaHalli, i saw many posters of Viswaroopam in some small Theatre! I guess there will be atleast 5 or 6 small theaters in bangalore running the Vishwa as of now!
I remember Dasa ran in small theaters, like this similarly. I saw 3 small theaters innMadiwala/WhiteField/Bpmmanahalli running them in around 70th day, and even watched the film in Madiwala theater, it was raining print! (too many scratches)

Not sure about the others in the list. In Kamala it ran for about 35+ days. I've never seen any other movie run so long after the theatre's renovation(i.e post Vettaikaaran release). Inox is no longer playing it and as per Bookmyshow it doesnt run in Devi Paradise,Baby Albert, Rakesh, Sundar, Ganga etc.

Vishwaroopam completes the coveted 50
Mar 28, 2013
Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam enters its 50th day today across theaters in Tamil Nadu. The movie is still a favorite among the multiplex audiences and is doing good business on weekends.
As the lyrics of the title song go, Vishwaroopam's success is surely a case of “Thadaigalai Vendru Sarithiram Padaitha Vetri” (crossing hurdles and creating history). Everybody knows the kind of issues and problems that the movie had to face prior to its release. All's well that ends well and now all eyes are on the sequel of the movie which is already into its pre-production stage. Kamal Haasan is seen with a beard nowadays and looks like that would be his makeover for the sequel.
Kudos to the entire team on their huge success.

Kamala Theatre (single screen) became Kamala Cinemas (a Multiplex with 2 screens) few years back. The first movie to release, after this renovation was Vettaikkaaran. The theatre, like other single screens of those days used to celebrate several Silver Jubilee functions. Also, it was Rajinikanth & Vijay's fort. All their movies(even avg performers like Sachin, Uzhaippali) enjoyed 100 or even 200 day run. Post renovation, most movies last for just 2 weeks max. Paradesi has been removed after just 2 weeks. BillaII - 2 weeks. Manmadhan Ambu was released in Screen 1 and 2, but was reduced to 1 screen in 5 days and was completely lifted after 2 weeks. Thats why I was glad to see VR, even with such wide release running for 35+ days there. For the 1st 8 days, it ran in both the screens.

“ரஜினியும் கமலும் தற்போது நடிக்கும் படங்களுக்கு ‘இளையராஜாவின் இசை சரியாக இருக்காது’ என்று கணித்திருக்கலாம். ஆனால் அது தவறு என்று அவர்களுக்குத் தெரியாது. ஏனென்றால், நான் எந்தப் படத்திற்கு எந்த இடத்திற்கு எந்த மாதிரி இசையமைப்பேன் என்று என்னாலேயே கணிக்க முடியாது” என்று அதிரடியாக கூறியிருக்கிறார் இளையராஜா.
ரஜினி, கமல் நடித்த அதிகபட்ச படங்களுக்கு இசை அமைத்தவர் இளையராஜா. ஆனால் ரஜினி கதை, திரைக்கதை, வசனம் எழுதி தயாரித்த ‘வள்ளி’ படத்துக்கு பிறகு, இருவரும் இணையவில்லை. அதேபோல, கமல் இயக்கி நடித்த ‘விருமாண்டி’க்குப் பிறகு கமல் படங்களுக்கு இளையராஜா இசையமைக்கவில்லை.
இதுபற்றி வார இதழ் ஒன்றில் வாசகர் கேள்விக்கு, இளையராஜா அளித்துள்ள பதிலே, நெத்தியடியாக அமைந்துள்ளது.
இளையராஜா, “என்னை வைத்துதான் இசையமைக்க வேண்டும் என எங்களுக்குள் எந்த ஒப்பந்தமும் கிடையாது. ஏன் அப்படி யாரிடமும் ஒப்பந்தம் போட்டது இல்லை. அவர்கள் இந்தப் படத்திற்கு இளையராஜாவின் இசை சரியாக இருக்காது என்று கணித்திருக்கலாம்.
ஆனால் அது தவறு என்று அவர்களுக்குத் தெரியாது. காரணம், நான் எந்தப் படத்திற்கு எந்த இடத்திற்கு எந்த மாதிரி இசையமைப்பேன் என்று என்னாலேயே கணிக்க முடியாது. பிறகு எப்படி மற்றவர்களால் அதை கணிக்க முடியும்?
எனக்கு இந்த இசைதான் தெரியும் என்று யாரும் லேசில் எடை போட வேண்டாம். ஏனென்றால் எந்தக் காலத்துக்குள்ளும் என் இசை அடங்காது. என்னை வேண்டாம் என்பது அவர்கள் இஷ்டம். அதனால் நஷ்டம் அவர்களுக்கே. ஆனால் காலாகாலத்திற்கும் நின்றிருக்கும், நிலைத்திருக்கும் என் இசை” என்று பதில் கொடுத்தருக்கிறார்.

this is not the relevant thread, nor i post Raja stuff in this forum. but why ppl are not wondering on fact that even after many years since they worked together, why at 1st place shud ppl ask such question to Raja?!? After all, among Rajni's 150 and Kamal's 200+ Films, the ONLY artist by any length and breadth, on or off screen who had got associated for most no of times with Rajni and Kamal is Raja sir. Just No one is gonna even think to break that record and its just impossible. Not even lyric writers like Vaali Vairamuthu or dance masters. No body has got associated for this many films. This itself is a record, i guess. Ithukkappuramum, all the 3, Rajni, Kamal, Raja are going in 3 separate directions in their (successfully self-extended) careers. and all 3 have become hugely unmatchable stars by their own right. A Raja-Rajni or Raja-Kamal combo is as rare and mother of all hype, as a Rajni-Kamal combo itself. Its explosive. So its purely their decision and its meaning less when fans ask of this.

even in his straight-forward in-the-face approach, IR's answers to certain questions can often be multi-layered, just like his music!
that reply put in perspective would mean - 'am not the loser, maybe they are' - that says a lot abt IR's confidence in his art.
anyways, so far as the three are in good terms, what answers he gives to readers/fans is his problem - how can anyone else advise him abt how to respond etc ?
the other answer to such a question could be "am out of business and hence they had to seek the services of others" - no self-respecting artist would say that - so why expect something like that (if thats what ppl are expecting) from IR ? especially given the fact that IR's contribution to the success of Kamal/Rajini films has been 100% or even more ?
I cannot think of any other answer to such a question

My little bird (one of the production support personel, whos always kind enough to share information) inside RKFI says that Kamal sir is so impressed with the test that Madhu sir showed! First time they will be using a combination of technology to film some visual effects sequences which will make Steven Spielberg or Michael Bay to envy about! Also they say it will be much more thrilling than Skyfall action sequences which will be entirely desinged on vfx!!! My predictions are coming true as I said earlier that VR2 has some hair raising visual effects even Hollywood could envy which still be shown as completely invisible effects!!! Are we going for Oscars?.... Sounds like that!

Barry may never happen and could turn out to be a good thing. Aascar has been waiting for Kamal's dates for the last 2 years. KH wanted Aascar to take on VR but did not happen. I believe Aascar helped KH during release of VR and hence VR2 arrangement. The second project is Kamal's earlier commitment to Aascar, most likely Moo. Moo was also talked about much earlier with Surya and another telugu (Teja ?) supposedly in the cast Originally Posted by Unmai Vilambi

Abbasi (references taken from many internet web sites) Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar
1. Abbasi was the creator god for the Efik, an ethnic group of people located primarily in southeastern Nigeria. According to the Efik mythology, Abbasi, on the advice of his wife Atai, created 2 immortal humans on earth, but he punished them for disobidence and cursed them with Choas and death. (Efik people performed Human sacrifice to calm down Abbasi and thought that by doing so he would hear their cries.)
2. Abbassi is coined from the name of a Persian King Abas - meaning "belonging to Abas". Its also a silver coin of Persia, worth about twenty cents.
3. Like most of the family names, Abbasi too comes from a profession - Baker or the craft of baker. But stil relegious connection was painted to it refering the name as "Favored by God"
4. Abbasi is a prominent Islamic family name . It is a clan of Banu Hashim Al Quraysh of Arab. Abbasis are the descendants of Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, the paternal uncle of Muhammad.
If its with respect to the movie, I think : Abbasi is related to 2 roots - Nigeria + Islam. So the character was named so. Originally Posted by sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar

Although the Abbasids were deadly foes of Zoroastrianism, the brand of Islam they propagated throughout Iran became in turn ever more "Zoroastrianized", making it easier for Iranians to embrace Islam. Thus the Iranians came with the family name Abbasi to India which could have been passed on into the Parsis.

KH Fans twitter group run by Canada Karthik, Hearta Zen (who is not interested to reveal about him, except that he is from Salem!) and some others from Orkut whom i myself don't know. I am one of the mod in Orkut, but i rarely get chance to do any moderation there! I was given Moderator for the newly opened UHKH Group in google plus, but i get no time to involve in that.
Sandiyar i guess not in twitter, apart from moderating Orkut comm, he runs his own blog! Since Orkut comm is registered as a Welfare club(they do welfare) he has some direct access to Rajkamal. He meets Sir atleast 5 times an year. Till MMA, they had some regular Skype video conf calls with Sir, which stopped after VR.
That apart, some of the twitter comm members may be in hub too, offline, reading the posts..Thats the reason u find some stuff from here to there!

Vishwaroopam 2 on August 15th!!
Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam 2 is fast taking shape after the super hit success of Vishwaroopam that released a couple of months back after facing lot of troubles. Looks like the sequel is being made at a quick pace and is being planned to hit the screens on our Independance day (August 15th) in more than 3000 screens world wide.
Vishwaroopam 2 which has already got huge expectations among Kamal fans, is said to be getting ready fast to hit the screens. VTV Ganesh who is one of the executive producers of Vishwaroopam 2 tweeted "Viswaroopam part 2 goin to release on august 15th This time planed to release more than 3k theaters world wide. Movie made on budget 50 CR."
The story of the sequel is set to be happening in India and the audience would get a clear picture on Andrea's character which wasn't explained in Vishwaroopam. The first part has been critically acclaimed and it has got huge collections.

Going by the teaser shown at the end of VR, it is.very clear that KH has shot at least 40-50 % of the screen footage for VR2, if not more. what remains is mainly the post production work. I was hoping that VR2 might release in Apr-June 2013 itself. any delay beyond August might dilute the hype.
Having said that, getting 3000 screens simultaneously all over the world will be their biggest headache...

For an profilic actor like Kamal, I do not think he "buys" clothes for this character purpose. Its designed and swtiched exclusively - be it leather wear or casuals. Initially it was Sarika who took care of this department, now its Gowthami. If its truely done, each fabric / accessories are chosen for the design and experts are hired for the cutting, linning, threading and switching. its called "Haute Couture".

Goosebumps. The command this guy has over his emotions, his language, his gameplan and his admirers is just AWESOME......he planned something, executed it to the tee and succeeded in his mission, turning the bull by its horn! As somebody had mentioned, this video is an exceptional lesson in Crisis Management.....should be watched by MBA students and everybody whose job demands a little managerial responsibility...
after all, I might become a fan someday...

நாட்டை விட்டு போவேன் ஸ்டேட்மெண்ட் விட்ட பிறகு அவர் கொடுத்த சில பேட்டிகளில், எப்படி நீங்க அப்படி சொல்லலாம் என்று கேட்டபோது, அப்படி சொல்லி இருக்க கூடாது, ஒரு உணர்ச்சி வேகத்தில் சொல்லிட்டேன் என்றெல்லாம் சமாளிக்காமல், எதிர்காலத்தில் பிரச்சனை வந்தா நிச்சயம் போவேன், இப்பவும் அந்த முடிவில் தான் இருக்கேன் என சொன்னார். இந்த கூட்டத்திலும் "தலைவா நாட்டை விட்டு போகாதீங்க" என சொன்னபோது "என் படங்கள் உங்களை மகிழ்வித்துக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்" என சொல்லி, அதற்கு கைதட்டி முடிக்கும்முன்னரே "அதை நான் எங்க இருந்து எடுத்தா என்ன" என்றார்!

In the real sense bitter chocolate is pure unadultered cocoa sauce used for making chocolate cakes and other kinds of pasteries.
But Indianised as a cinema title it may be of the litreal sense as opposite flavours - bitter for bitterness and chocolate for swetness - in the likes of Kata-Meta. Mostly in India we get only fat added sweetened (milk) chocolates and never pure or grounded dark chocolates.
And if the information is true, and a title comming from Kamal's camp, Bitter Chocolate could be referenced as the principle ingredient, drawing the motive to the thought plot. Ex: Many things operate around the principle character, without which the rest is null.

Even after the problem solved, movie itself released, he went to mumbai and gave interviews, even there he said he still stand by that, and insisted artistic freedom shud not be taken over by cultural terrorism.
Also, a big crowd standing b4 his office, even there, he indirectly points out that he will stick by his statement.
Thats is what i am mentioning via those thirukkural!
And though many fans, any fans will dislike their star moving out of country, i have seen many ppl repeating and endorsing kamal's staement "கமல் சார், நீங்க ஹாலிவுட்டுக்கே போய்டுங்க!" in twitter and FB. Now they are not meaning that he shud go, instead, they are registering their anger against the trouble makers, indirectly, by supporting his views

IPL season started. very nice article. thought someone might find it interesting.
How to tell if you're watching the IPL or county cricket
This isn't a rhetorical question. Which are you watching? Do you know? Follow this handy guide if you don't. It will help you distinguish between these two almost identical branches of cricket.
Time of day
Is the match taking place at night? If it is, you are more likely watching the IPL. However, are you sure that it is definitely night-time and not just a particularly cloudy day? The only way you can be certain is by counting shadows. If there are four shadows around each player - one from each floodlight - then you are watching the IPL. If there is one massive shadow, shrouding the entire ground, you are probably watching Surrey.
Weather
Hot = India. Cold = springtime in England. It can be difficult to gauge weather conditions from a television broadcast, but there are a few things you can look out for. Headwear is a good indicator. If bright sunlight is glinting off even brighter helmets, blinding you, then it's the IPL. If any player is seen wearing multiple hats, it's probably England. Don't be fooled by broad-brimmed sun hats. Sometimes they conceal a wool hat underneath.
Advertising
County cricket and the IPL have radically different attitudes to advertising. IPL advertising tends to feature banks, whereas the names of building societies and insurance firms are more commonly seen during county cricket matches. It's a totally different world. Of course both competitions advertise the functional products on which the economies of their respective host nations are built as well - concrete in the case of the IPL and real ale in county cricket.
Dancing
Is anyone in the crowd dancing? If they are, it's the IPL.
Sleeping
Is anyone in the crowd having a nice sleep? If they are, it's county cricket.
Underwhelming overseas players
Overseas players you're sort of vaguely aware of but who certainly aren't household names are part and parcel of both the IPL and county cricket. If the player in question is a young Australian who can bat a bit and bowl a bit but doesn't yet do either particularly well, then you're watching the IPL. If the player in question is an old South African who can bat a bit and bowl a bit but doesn't do either particularly well anymore, then you're watching county cricket.
Fast-medium bowlers
Domestic player you've never heard of trundling in and bowling at about 130kph? Check the speed gun. If it reads 150kph, it's the IPL. If there is no speed gun, it's county cricket.
Commentary
If all you can hear is birds tweeting because the commentator doesn't feel they have anything to contribute, it's county cricket. If a booming voice is trying to pass off thoughtful gems such as "Wow" as insight, it's most definitely the IPL, in which case press the mute button immediately before you put your foot through the screen in despair at the inanity of the modern world.
Skin colour
It's an obvious one. Look at the spectators in the expensive seats behind the bowler's arm. If they have dark brown skin then you are watching county cricket. These are the members. Like birds, these wealthy, retired individuals have flown south for the winter and, unlike birds, they have returned with a deep tan. If the faces are pale, it is the IPL. These wealthy industrialists and film stars have evaded direct sunlight by spending their lives moving from one plush, air-conditioned environment to another.

Kamal Haasan’s new look in Vishwaroopam 2
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BHILyC-CQAEgqJJ.jpg:large
The Ulaganayagan will sport a trimmed beard in his next film that will be a sequel to Vishwaroopam
M Suganth
If you are wondering why Kamal Haasan is sporting a beard of late, here is the answer. The actor will sport a trimmed beard in his sequel to Vishwaroopam in which he has three looks. “Yes, his present look is for Vishwaroopam 2,” confirms the actor’s spokesperson, adding that he is currently preparing for the India schedule of the film. The Ulaganayagan was seen in the look even during the recent fast organized by the Nadigar Sangam. The actor-director, who had shot 40 per cent of the second film even before the release of the first one, is likely to begin the shoot in May. The sequel will be produced by Aascar Ravichandran. Contrary to reports that the actor will be releasing the film on August 15, we hear that the actor hasn’t set any particular date for its release. Meanwhile, the actor seems to have put aside his plans for another film, Bitter Chocolate, for now. The actor had reportedly asked his daughter Shruti Haasan to be a part of it but she had to decline due to her busy schedule. He will start work on it only after completing Vishwaroopam 2.

Bollywood Beyond Borders
4:15 pm - 5:15 pm
Location: S220
Speakers: Frank Foster , Dr. Kamal Haasan , Jeff Kleiser , Tim McGovern , Ravi Velhal , Pooja Kumar
Description:
How can Bollywood and the cinema -- which is intrinsic to its culture – cross geographical borders and diasporic audiences to reach global consumers and share with them the extraordinary wealth inherent in Indian storytelling? Currently the overseas market contributes a sizeable chunk to Bollywood's box office collections, with global studios such as 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, and Warner Bros acquiring Indian films. During this landmark session commemorating 100 years of Indian cinema, join the filmmakers of "Vishwaroopam," a Tamil spy thriller written, directed and co-produced by Kamal Haasan who also enacts the lead role. "Vishwaroopam" is the first Indian film to utilize the new Auro 3D sound technology. The film earned the National Film Award for Best Art Direction and Best Choreography in the 2012 National Film Awards.

IMHO, when it comes to speaking out against religious groups, Kamal (like many leftist intellectuals) romba ushaar.
some of the questions raised in the aftermath of the Boston bombing include:
1. How could someone who grew up in the United States become a terrorist?
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood Army Base in Texas in 2009, was born and raised in Virginia.
He self-radicalized, in part, over the Internet, which he used to reach out to the Yemen-based preacher Anwar al-Awlaki for advice about whether it is permissible for Muslim soldiers in the U.S. military to kill their comrades in the name of jihad.
Awlaki, a leader of al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen, was somewhat noncommittal in his responses but did NOT discourage the act.
2.How do you square the multiple descriptions of the brothers as "good guys" with the fact that they plotted mass murder?
It's worth recalling that Mohammed Sidique Khan, the leader of the suicide attackers who bombed the London transit system in 2005 killing 52 commuters, was a beloved teacher at a primary school in the northern city of Leeds who taught children with developmental problems, and the happily married 30-year-old father of a baby daughter. Colleagues and acquaintances described Khan as a gentle, kind man.
No surprise then that we are hearing some similar positive characterizations of the brothers Tsarnaev.
http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/19/op...html?hpt=hp_c1
thus, even a perfectly sane well-behaved 'gentle' person can easily get radicalized thanks to certain precepts in a particular religion.

Natural evolution of cinema with changing times என்பது வேறு.Inherent potential என்பது வேறு. இது technology ,audience upgradation என்று பலவாறாக விரியும். சினிமா என்பது ஒரு புது மொழி. அந்த மொழி வளர்ச்சி பெற்றதில் ,பார்வையாளரின் இட்டு நிரப்பும் ஆற்றல் பெருகி விட்டது. நாகேஷ் பயங்கரமாக misuse செய்ய பட்டார் C centre கறிவேப்பிலையாய். A .P .N ,K .B ,ஸ்ரீதர் தவிர யாரும் அவரை சரியாக பயன் படுத்த தவறி விட்டனர். இன்றைய காலகட்டங்களில் அவர் சரியாக பயன் படுத்த பட்டிருந்தால்.....(If I were to use them to their potential ) படு புத்திசாலித்தனமாக கமல் செய்து காட்டினார். நாகேஷ், காகா ராதாகிருஷ்ணன்,S .N .லட்சுமி,கள்ளபார்ட் நடராஜன் இவர்களை கொண்டு.(தன் குருவுக்கும் தேவர் மகனில் என்ன அற்புதமான script)
அவர் old school product அல்ல. vintage car வைத்து அழகாக பராமரித்து ,அதன் உண்மை மதிப்பை உலகறிய செய்த உன்னத கலைஞன்.

Crossed 75 days and it will be running in Sathyam and PVR the coming week too. 2 more weeks and then - A 100 day movie for KH after 5 years. The last was Dasa(Tamil&Telugu) and VV, before that.
Are fans planning anything?

Even going by unofficial sources, Lingu was not at all in scene during VR release. In fact ht was busy filling theaters with Alex pandian(?) or some other film during that time. Its Aascar who helped kamal to get theater. U.Stalin too tried to peep in saying he wanted to help. But padathai avanga kitta kudutha enna maathiriyaana collection returns varumnnu avarukku nallaave theriyum! So he was limited with Salem area

கலாச்சாரத்தை சீர்குலைக்கிறார்கள்: கமல், கவுதமி, பிரகாஷ்ராஜ், விஜய் டிவி மீது போலீசில் புகார்
நீங்களும் வெல்லலாம் ஒரு கோடி தொலைக்காட்சி நிகழ்ச்சியில் இந்திய கலாச்சாரத்தை சீர்குலைப்பது போன்று நடந்து கொண்டதாக கமல், கவுதமி, பிரகாஷ்ராஜ், திவ்யதர்ஷினி மீது இந்து மக்கள் கட்சி சென்னை போலீஸ் கமிஷனர் அலுவலகத்தில் புகார் அளித்துள்ளது.
இந்து மக்கள் கட்சியின் சென்னை மண்டல தலைவர் முத்து ரமேஷ் குமார் இன்று சென்னை போலீஸ் கமிஷனர் அலுவலகத்திற்கு வந்தார். அவர் விஜய் டிவி மீது புகார் அளித்தார். அந்த புகார் மனுவில் அவர் கூறியிருப்பதாவது,
தமிழகத்தில் மக்கள் அதிகம் பார்க்கக் கூடிய தொலைக்காட்சிகளில் ஒன்றான விஜய் தொலைக்காட்சியில் நடிகர் பிரகாஷ்ராஜ் தொகுத்து வழங்கும் “நீங்களும் வெல்லலாம்’ என்ற பொது அறிவு நிகழ்ச்சி நடத்தப்படுகிறது.
complaint against vijay tv kamal gouthami prakashraj
கடந்த 15,16,17ம் தேதிகளில் ஒளிப்பரப்பட்ட இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் நடிகர் கமலஹாசன், நடிகைகள் கவுதமி, திவ்யதர்ஷினி மற்றும் குடும்ப பெண்களும் கலந்து கொண்டனர்.
இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் கலந்து கொண்ட குடும்ப பெண்களிடம் நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் பற்றி பல்வேறு கேள்விகள் கேட்கப்பட்டன. அதில் நடிகர் பிரகாஷ்ராஜ், ஒரு நடுத்தர வயது பெண்மணியை பார்த்து, உங்களுக்கு நடிகர் கமலஹாசனை பிடிக்குமா என்று கேட்கிறார். அதற்கு அந்த நடுத்தர வயது பெண்மணி, எனக்கு வெறித்தனமாக பிடிக்கும் என்கிறார். மீண்டும் உங்களுக்கு நிறைவேறாத ஆசைகள் என்ற கேள்விக்கு பதிலளித்த அந்த பெண்மணி, கமலை கட்டிப்பிடித்து முத்தமிட வேண்டும் என்கிறார்
அதுபோலும், லட்சக்கணக்கான மக்கள், குழந்தைகள் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் அந்த தொலைக்காட்சி நிகழ்ச்சியில் நடிகர் கமலஹாசனை கட்டிப் பிடித்து முத்தம் கொடுக்கிறார்.
அதுபோல் நடிகை திவ்யதர்ஷினியும், எனக்கும் அந்த ஆசை இருக்கிறது என தெரிவித்து, கமலை கட்டிப்பிடித்து முத்தமிடுகிறார். அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் திருமணம் செய்து கொள்ளாமல் குடும்பம் நடத்தினால் என்ன தவறு இருக்கிறது என்றெல்லாம் விவாதிக்கப்பட்டது.
பொது அறிவு நிகழ்ச்சி என்று அறிவிக்கப்பட்டு ஒளிபரப்படும் நிகழ்ச்சியில் ஒரு ஆணை அடுத்தவர் வீட்டு மனைவி அல்லது பெண்கள் கட்டிப்பிடித்து முத்தம் கொடுப்பது தான் இந்திய நாட்டு கலாச்சாரமா?
நாட்டில் பெருகி வரும் பாலியல் பலாத்காரத்திற்கு இதுபோன்ற நிகழ்ச்சிகள் தூண்டுகோளாக இருந்து வருகின்றன. எனவே அன்றைய நிகழ்ச்சிகளில் இந்திய நாட்டு கலாச்சாரத்தை சீரழித்த குற்றத்திற்காக நடிகர்கள் கமலஹாசன், பிரகாஷ்ராஜ், நடிகைகள் கவுதமி, திவ்யதர்ஷினி, மேலும் நிகழ்ச்சியில் கலந்து கொண்டு கமலுக்கு முத்தமிட்ட நடுத்தர வயது பெண் மற்றும் இந்நிகழ்ச்சியை ஒளிபரப்பிய விஜய் டி.வி. நிர்வாகம் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும் என்று அவர் அதில் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

Other than her manerism of shifting her lips left and right and over doing during song (thanks to prabhu deva), she still is one of the actress (next to urimla) who I refuse to list as "yesteryear". Her performance in Panchathanram is note worthy.
Point out : Her graceful movements for "they dont really care about us - MJ song" and the running song from Neeruku Ner will remain a sweet watch always.

Madhuri : I agree. But I found her a bit mature in the roles she played in the begining of her carrier. But later, she was/became fabulous. I was hooked with the Rajkumar (1996 Anil Kapoor starrer) movie song for a long time.

Gambhir is not happy. No, let me rephrase that, he is angry. He had a lot to say to Balaji after the first six was hit but after that last-ball maximum he had lost it. Totally. He goes into the dugout mumbling loudly at no-one in particular, needs to cool down before he gets down to his batting.

Am not sure what are the movies/songs of Bhanupriya you closely watch/revisit. But just a tip of iceberg. Watch "jaathimalli poochcharame" from movie azhakan. I can say no one can bring out of that GRACE which Bhanupriya delivered. You do that comparison of "the lines of 'Silk' Smitha." to that song and see how you comparison is really relevant in real. To me, Bhanupriya ======= Kamal Hassan in terms of Dance with atmost GRACE. Period. Originally Posted by mappi

many films of KH are there to vote as greatest film: maro charitra, pushpaka vimana, sagara sangamam, ek duje ke liye, nayagan, 16 vayadinile. (did i miss any other movie?) my pick from them (after much deliberation) will be salangai oli. but even a die hard fan like me cant ignore all time greats in that list. from my viewing experience i loved many old and new movies of all genre. maya bazaar, mani chitrathazh, patala bhairavi, thaneer thaneer, mr.india, uthiri pookal, dilwale dulhaniya le jayega, shankarabharanam to name a few.

From: apalani on 30th April 2013 11:00 PM [Full View]
Mappi, Virumandi is a film which is high on concept and execution (unlike Dasa which is ambitious and high on concept but the execution was a let down - blame KSR) ---- a marveloous film.
It's inspired by Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon - which had multiple narratives of an event (murder). Your comparison between Virmandi and Silence of Lambs is ridiculous! Just beacuse he is interviewd in jail, you draw the parelles between the two? Oh, Come on!
The jail break scene is a tribute to Spartacus, which is one of Kamal's all time favorites - he even made Shruti watch this movie for more than 30 times as told by her!
My 2 cents....................
-
From: mappi on 1st May 2013 01:22 AM [Full View]
apalani, Not that I said Virumandi was bad or copied, eventhough the narative is in the lines of witness statements - the break-up into 3 forms and the tones used were essayed in Hero movie and I was mentioning only the concept. "Signs" of Hanibal Lector does not mean parallel. Asking a women reporter her inner-wear size is the boldness that was derieved from the lambs movie leave alone a 'lady' interviewing a "most-feared" accussed. I do not think flying toilets existed during spartacus time !

அரசியலுக்கு வராதது ஏன்?: கமல்ஹாசன் விளக்கம்
இளைய தலைமுறை அவார்ட்ஸ் சார்பில் இலக்கிய விருது வழங்கும் விழா கோவை இந்துஸ்தான் கல்லூரியில் நடைபெற்றது. விழாவில் 2 முறை சாகித்ய அகாடமி விருது பெற்ற கவிஞர் புவியரசு, மற்றும் கோவை ஞானி, தொ.பரமசிவன் ஆகிய மூன்று பேருக்கு இளைய தலைமுறை விருது மற்றும் ரூ.50 ஆயிரம் ரொக்கப்பரிசு ஆகியவற்றை நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன் வழங்கினார்.
அப்போது அவர் பேசியதாவது:-
இங்கு விருது பெற்றுள்ள எழுத்தாளர்களுக்கு பாராட்டு விழா நடக்கிறது. இது ரசிகர்களாகிய உங்களுக்கு கிடைத்த பெருமை. இது நாம் அவர்களுக்கு கொடுக்கும் கவுரவம். இந்த கூட்டம் அவர்கள் மீது வைத்திருக்கும் அன்பை காட்டுகிறது. இங்கு விருது பெற்றுள்ள 3 பேரும் தமிழின் அமைதிக்கு பணியாற்றியவர்கள்.
சினிமாவை அடுத்த கட்டத்துக்கு கொண்டு செல்லுங்கள் என்று என்னை கூறியவர்கள் இவர்கள். நான் சாதாரண சினிமாக்காரன். இவர்களை நாம் பாராட்டாவிட்டால் நம் சுயமரியாதையை இழந்தவர்கள் ஆகிவிடுவோம். மக்களிடம் நிறைய விஷயங்களை எடுத்து செல்லும் இவர்களுக்காக நீங்கள் மிகப் பெரிய கரவொலி எழுப்ப வேண்டும். இவர்களுடைய எழுத்துக்களில் ஆளுமை திறமை இருக்கும். நான் உங்களை கேட்டுக் கொள்வதெல்லாம் இவர்கள் எழுதிய புத்தகத்தை படியுங்கள்.
நீங்கள் ஏன் அரசியலுக்கு வரக்கூடாது என்று என்னை பலர் கேட்டிருக்கிறார்கள். நான் சுமாரான நடிகன் தான். அதனால் வரவில்லை என்று கூறிவிட்டேன்நீங்கள் 8-ம் வகுப்பு வரை தானே படித்திருக்கிறீர்கள். பின்னர் எப்படி நீங்கள் இவ்வளவு விஷயங்களை பேசுகிறீர்கள் என்று சிலர் என்னிடம் கேட்டனர். இதற்கு காரணம் இங்கு விருது பெற்றவர்களின் தொடர்பு இருப்பதால் தான் என்னால் இப்படி பேச முடிகிறது என்று கூறினேன்.
இவ்வாறு கமல்ஹாசன் பேசினார்.

Kamal Haasan and Shruti are opposites !
May 02, 2013
Shruti Hassan and her father Kamal Hassan may have a common thread between them in terms of being a multifaceted artist but they seem to be totally opposite on a particular topic.
Kamal Hassan has been very vocal about his stand on religion and how he doesn’t subscribe to its institutional beliefs but Shruti on the other hand is supposedly a God fearing person. It is being said that Shruti made her way to the famous Chilkur Balaji Temple which is known to not have any VVIP privileges. Apparently Shruti performed 108 pradhakshanams which is a practice of delivering thanks to the Almighty.
Shruti had been to the same temple before the release of Gabbar Singh and expressed her joy over visiting it again.

These include a triple role of which one was a dwarf, and a father who cross-dresses as a woman to be near his children. Kamal Haasan was equally successful in Bollywood, starring in hits like Ek Duuje Ke Liye and Sagar as well as many remakes of his own Tamil hits including Sadma and Chachi 420. Among his best known films are Mani Ratnam's Nayagan. Kamal Haasan hold the record for the most number of Best Actor National Awards with four wins.

If it turns out true, it means that he had already shot almost 70% of the film! Also, we are hearing snippets about VFX but no info on any cast and crew acting et all. This strengthens the doubt.

Kamal Haasan’s next confirmed!
May 03, 2013
The maker of Vishwaroopam, Kamal Haasan is presently working on his sequel to the mega budget extravaganza. If things go well, the second part of Vishwaroopam will release by the end of this year. Reports also suggest that Vishwaroopam 2 has more sentiments and better scope for Andrea.
Meanwhile, our sources have confirmed that Kamal will also do a project with director/producer Lingusamy. However, Lingusamy will be funding the project this time and the director for this project will soon be revealed. This project will supposedly start after Vishwaroopam 2.
It should also be noted that Lingusamy had bought the rights for the recently released Bollywood film, Special 26. So it'll be interesting to see if Kamal and Lingusamy are joining for the Tamil remake of this film or for an original script.

happened to watch two very very earlier songs of thalaivar in murasu tv. one probably cinema paithiyam (with jayachitra) and other one tender aged kh dancing with six girls! point is..even at those times he was using many new mannerisms and slapstick unseen in other leading actors at those times excl mgr/sivaji. whether any earlier cine people recognized his hidden talents? (we hear many things how earlier coaches of sachin used to say how they knew he would bloom one day)

Vishwaroopam 2 starts in Thailand
May 20, 2013
High on the success of Vishwaroopam reaching 100 days Kamal is not one to rest on his laurels as he’s set to commence the first schedule of the film’s anticipated sequel. Sources say that the upcoming schedule of Vishwaroopam 2 will be held in Thailand and most of the cast and crew are making their way to that destination. Andrea is believed to be leaving tonight for Thailand where the schedule will last around a week.
Vishwaroopam 2 is likely to feature nearly all the familiar faces from the first part as Rahul Bose too will return. Kamal Haasan has also requested Shekar Kapur for his dates and availability to be part of the sequel.

Some websites have put this news that VR2 will be completed quickly....
VISHWAROOPAM 2, A QUICKIE ?
Kamal Haasan is busy with Vishwaroopam2 shoot. The shooting is happening in Thaliland,Bangkok and then the team will return to India , Kamal has retained most of the actors who have worked in Vishwaroopam . Sources say that Vishwaroopam 2 will be a quickie and it will release within this year,Kamal has also said that he will be shooting for his next film for Thirupathi brothers by October. So Kamal will be finishing the shoot of Vishwaroopam2 much before Thirupathi brother's film.

Kajal Agarwal is in a hot list? – Kamal got her
OHO Cinema, 27/05/13, 16:46 GMT
Kajal Agarwal, the most beautiful and charming actress is on market now. She has been climbing her career ladder fast with hit films with stars like Karthi, Suriya, and Vijay in Kollywood. She has been starring opposite some of the top-ranking heroes in Kollywood and Tollywood. Looks like the pretty actress who is working Vijay for the second time in ‘Jilla’ is now all set to move over to the bigger league.
The latest buzz is that Kajal Agarwal has bagged the offer to share the screen space with Kamal Haasan in the film produced by Lingusamy’s Tirupati Brothers. The interesting aspect of the film is that Thuppakki heroine will not only get to star with the legendary actor but also be directed by him.
Lingusamy had recently confirmed that Kamal Haasan and he are teaming up for a project, which will commence from October this year. This will be Kamal’s next film after Viswaroopam 2 and that Kamal will direct this film and also act in it.

Kamal Haasan and Andrea fight it out in Thailand
May 30, 2013
That Vishwaroopam 2 is being shot in Thailand currently is known news to most of us. Kamal is busy canning an action sequence on the beaches of the country and the charming Andrea is also involved in these racy scenes.
Vishwaroopam had some amazing action set-pieces and a lot is expected out of the sequel as well. After this, Kamal also plans to shoot in the nation's capital, Delhi, in June.
There are many reports stating that the film will surely release within this year but given the quest for perfection that Kamal has, it would be no surprise if the release date gets pushed as Kamal continues to pursue brilliance in his ventures.

"Vishwaroopam 2", the sequel to Kamal Haasan's "Vishwaroopam" is being shot in Thailand, and the team even shot scenes at the Bangkok airbase, reveals actor-filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.
"Filming 'Vishwaroopam 2' at Bangkok airbase. Complex camera rigging for action sequence," Kapur posted on his Twitter page along with a picture depicting a busy scene with several crew members surrounding an aircraft. The sky looks bright and blue.
Kapur also posted another photograph clicked from perhaps below the aircraft's nose cone. "Interesting angle? 'Vishwaroopam 2' filming at Bangkok airbase," he added.
Directed and produced by Kamal, "Vishwaroopam", was a bilingual espionage thriller made at a budget of Rs.95 crore.

Ramanathan has dubbed for Jagannathan (Shekar Kapur). The why the heck did Shekar Kapur tweet this?
Shekhar Kapur @shekharkapur 11 Feb
Now that #vishwaroopam is a huge blockbuster n #KamalHassan a happy man,I finally have d courage 2 ask. How was my Tamil ?
He must have received quite a lot of replies praising his fluency. I myself was quite surprised to note that Jagannathan's Tamil was much better than others, like Deepak, Omar and especially Salim. But then I thought he must have learnt the language from his wife (Suchitra Krishnamurthy)
Mathivanan Rajendran (dubbed for Deepak) - Ivar pesina thamizhukku oru dubbing artist vera. adhilum nalla thamizh peyar ulla oru dubbing artist. Yen? Samrat Chakraborty'kku vaaila katti irundhucha, illa indha Mathivaanan nalla thamizhla pesiyirundha makkalukku purinjirukkaadha? ennamo ponga.

UV, thanks. but 'research', 'at par' nu lam sollaadheenga, koochama irukku. There are much bigger fans of KH who have wonderfully analysed Vishwaroopam, Dasa, Hey Ram and other KH movies in detail.
In V2, we are told, there is a mother-son angle. Whether this is true or not, there are scenes in the first part which give us a hunch that Wisam and his family had a tragic past. His mother suffered from Asthma and his father, who left his family, was an excellent Jihadi, well known to Tawfeeq and Nasser. Wisam looks worried, guilty and confused by the happenings around him in Afghanistan. When Tawfeeq is punished, his mother calls Wisam and cries out loud, 'look what happens to your brother'. Wisam is worried and guilty. But he also feels the pain of the mother who lost her child. Is it something from his past that haunted him? His expression when hearing the old lady in the ruins, when he sees the doctor dead, the anger on his face when Omar makes fun of him, when Tawfeeq asks him about his father in the party (Are you as good as your father? Do we get to see Wisam's dad Kashmiri in the sequel?) Just cant wait for the sequel. The movie raises several questions every time I watch it. It would be interesting to see the contents of Wisam's emotional baggage in V2.

In such a case, it would have been better if at least one of them had spoken the language clearly. Romba Osaramaa iruppaaru sounded like Osama (was it intentional?).

Kamal's Vishwaroopam 2 is getting ready. Shamdat who did the cinematography of Saahasam, which will be released soon, is handling the filming of Vishwaroopam 2. This cinematographer has earlier done impressive work in other Telugu films like Avakayi Biryani and Prasthanam.
Kamal is said to have been awed by his work. Kamal has also seen Saahasam's footage before signing him up. Shamdat is presently filming of Vishwaroopam 2 in Thailand.
Vishwaroopam 2 is a sequel to Vishwaroopam directed and co-produced by Kamal Haasan. The film has music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy and stars Kamal Haasan, Rahul Bose, Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah in the lead roles.

After the 'transformation', it takes some time for Omar and Salim to reach the warehouse. I don't think it is the same building. The place where they live is an apartment/hotel room which gets bombed later. Omar vacates the room, instructs one of his accomplices to leave no trace and this guy bombs it from a restaurant close by. The warehouse is in a remote area but their room is in a busy street.

If we start looking at them, all we gain is a "burnt-eye". Further, I do not intend to revisit the movie sooner (had enough watch for this season).

L.K.Advani appreciates Viswaroopam !!
L.K.Advani appreciates Viswaroopam:Senior politician, L.K.Advani recently had the opportunity to see Kamal's Vishwaroopam in a private screening in Delhi, along with his family and friends. He felt that this was one of the most technically sound and content oriented films to have come out of India in a long time.
This screening materialized on the 3rd of June when Kamal was in Delhi and he himself volunteered to screen the movie to Mr.Advani on any one of the days when he was in the capital. Advani had a curiosity to see the film ever since he read and saw reports in the media of all the controversies that Vishwaroopam had to experience in Tamil Nadu.
Two days after the screening, Kamal was invited over to Advani's house and authentic Sindhi curry and rice was served to Kamal for dinner.
Advani shared this experience in his personal blog much to the delight of the reading audience.

VISHWAROOP : A WONDERFUL FILM
A remarkable piece of sandalwood carving on display at our Prithviraj Road residence is of Shri Krishna administering Geetagnyan to Arjuna at Kurukshetra, and in that process giving him a darshan of His Vishwaroop.
http://blog.lkadvani.in/wp-content/u...ed-175x300.jpg
What is even more significant about this carving is the fact that the artist, hailing from Chikmangloor (Karnataka), has depicted on the back side of this excellent Vishwaroop carving not only several other scenes from the Mahabharata, like Draupadi Cheer Haran, and Bhishma Pitamah on his bed of arrows, sermonizing to the Pandavas, but also all the Dashavataras, from Matsyavatara andKurmavatara to Krishna and Kalki.
A fortnight or so back I had seen in the media reports that a film produced and directed by Kamal Haasan, outstanding film maker of Tamilnadu, titled Vishwaroopam (in Tamil) and Vishwaroop (in Hindi) had precipitated some controversy. The result was that the Tamilnadu Government had first banned the film, and later on permitted it with some scenes muted. Ever since I had read these reports I had had a desire to see the film.
http://blog.lkadvani.in/wp-content/u...an-231x300.jpg
Last week, I had a welcome phone call from Kamal Haasan himself informing me that he was coming to Delhi for a few days and that on any of the days he was here he would like me to see his film.
On June 3rd, therefore, along with my family and some friends I had occasion to see this wonderful film, which I reckon, in both content and technical quality, is one of the best films I have seen in years.
The film is a spy thriller scripted also by Kamal Haasan, and shot mainly in three countries – in the U.S.A., in India and in Jordan.
Two days after the screening of the film Kamal Haasan came to our home for Sindhi curry and rice. After dinner I recounted to him an anecdote I had heard during my school days in Karachi.
The story is about a meeting Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini had during the Second World War, in which Hitler tells the Italian Supremo that the sins committed by the two of them would prove very costly for them after death. When Mussolini said to his friend that so far as he was concerned when his own end came he would go to the Vatican and seek help from the Pope who is believed to have a Pass for Heaven. Hitler asked him to commend to the Pope his name also. This anecdote is accompanied by a demonstrative exercise with a pair of scissors, and a sheet of paper, in which the story ends up with both the two Fascist leaders landing in Hell, and only the Pope reaching Heaven.
Kamal Haasan enjoyed my demonstration, and was provoked to ask me : Have you read the Book “Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler” The Book is co-authored by Simon Dunstan, prominent author, film maker and photographer in the field of military history and Gerard Williams, renowned television journalist for over thirty years with the BBC, Sky News and Reuters.
TAILPIECE
http://blog.lkadvani.in/wp-content/u...ey-of-wolf.jpg
Kamal Haasan, has sent me the book that he promised. The 350-page book is extremely well researched. Together, the two authors undertook seventeen research trips to Argentina where Hitler, according to them lived until 1962.
The back cover of this book sums up :
Based on years of research investigative journalist Gerard Williams and military historian Simon Dunstan believe that the escape of Adolf Hitler from Berlin & Operation Feuerland & was meticulously planned by the Nazis from 1943 onward. There is considerable testimony and evidence that suggests the operation was a success and that Hitler escaped to South America, where he lived until his actual death in 1962.
