Kamal Haasan
breathes cinema
Bled for cinema
Cried for cinema
Consumed cinema
Pounded his ego for cinema
Broken his bones for cinema
Sacrificed his ties for cinema
Wounded his pride for cinema
Clashed with his faith for cinema
Self-immolated his soul for cinema
Exploited his mind brutally for cinema
Dragged his heart through the murky waters for cinema
Kamal Haasan is Cinema
Here’s to many more decades of Kamal Haasan.

50 -வருடங்களுக்கு முன் அந்த சுட்டி 'அம்மாவும் நீயே அப்பாவும் நீயே' பாட்டுக்கு கொடுத்த முக அசைவைப் பார்த்தவர்கள் கணித்திருப்பார்களோ என்னவோ ,இந்த புள்ளையாண்டான் தமிழ் சினிமா உலகில் சரித்திரம் படைக்கப் போகிறான் என்று .ஆனா இப்போ அதை பார்க்கும் போது 'விளையும் பயிர் முளையிலே தெரியும்' என்பது உண்மை என கண்டிப்பாக நினைப்பார்கள் . முதல் படத்திலேயே நடிகையர் திலகம் கைகளில் தவழ்ந்த குழந்தை ,மிக விரைவிலேயே நடிகர் திலகத்தின் கைகளில் தவழ்ந்தது ..'நீ ஒருவனை நம்பி வந்தாயோ ,இல்லை இறைவனை நம்பி வந்தாயோ ' என கைகளில் கிடத்தி நடிகர் திலகம் கேட்ட கேள்விக்கு 'இல்லை ..நான் என்னையே நம்பி வந்திருக்கிறேன்' என்று அந்த பயல் பதில் சொல்லியிருப்பானோ ? .பின்னர் ஆனந்த ஜோதியில் மக்கள் திலகம் 'நீ பெரிய ஆளா வருவ' -ன்னு சொன்னது பலிக்காம இருக்குமா !
இன்று கமல்ஹாசன் என்ற ஒப்பற்ற கலைஞனின் சாதனைகளை இங்கு பட்டியலிட்டுத் தான் யாரும் தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டியதில்லை .சினிமா உலகில் சிலர் சில திறமைகளில் மிகச் சிறப்பானவராக இருக்கலாம் .சிலர் ஒரு சில திறமைகளை ஒருங்கே பெற்றிருக்கலாம் ..ஆனால் சினிமாவின் முழுத் திறமைகளையும் முயன்று வளர்த்துக்கொண்டு முத்திரை பதித்தவர்கள் கமல்ஹாசனைப் போல யாருமில்லை.
வணிக ரீதியிலும் ,தொழில் நுட்ப ரீதியில் இரண்டிலும் தேவையான அளவுக்கு தன்னை நிரூபித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தாலும் ,இன்னும் ..இன்னும் என முன்னேற்றத்தை தேடி ஓடி ஓடி உழைக்கும் கலைஞன் .நடிகர் திலகத்தின் கலை வாரிசாக தன்னை நிலை நிறுத்திக்கொண்டுள்ள நல்ல ரசிகன்.
50 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் இதே ஆகஸ்ட் 12-தேதி 'களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா' வெளிவந்தது .தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்கு புதிய விழி வந்தது.
கலையுலக பொன் விழா காணும் நம்மவருக்கு வாழ்த்துகள்!

Hobby, interest, passion, relaxation and everything else twined together, it's no surprise artists last for so many years.
On a tangent, as much as I'd love Kamal to dismiss the notion of time and age, there's a weeny bit of marketing potential with such, just like for awards, and titles. Kandipa ithellam thevai, to sustain in 'business of art'.
Kamal would probably strike a similar note to
this.

தமிழ் சினிமாவின் அடையாளமாகத் திகழும் நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன், 'இந்திய சினிமாவில் பொன் விழா' கண்ட நாயகனாக வலம் வருகிறார்..
தமிழ், மலையாளம், தெலுங்கு, கன்னடம், இந்தி, பெங்காளி என வெவ்வேறு மொழிகளிலும் 150-க்கும் மேற்பட்ட படங்களில் நடித்துள்ள கமல்ஹாசன், இந்த ஆண்டுடன் இந்திய சினிமாவில் 50 ஆண்டுகளைப் பூர்த்தி செய்கிறார்.
நம் நாட்டின் சினிமா கலைத் திறமையை உலக அரங்கில் கொண்டுச் செல்வதற்கு தொடர்ந்து முனைந்து வரும் இந்த நாயகன் நடித்த முதல் திரைப்படம் வெளியானது, 1960-ம் ஆண்டு ஆகஸ்ட் 12-ல்!
'களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா'வின் படப்பிடிப்பு 1959-ம் ஆண்டில் தொடங்கியது. குழந்தை நட்சத்திரமாக 5 வயதில் கமல்ஹாசன் அறிமுகமான் அப்படம், 1960-ம் ஆண்டு ஆகஸ்ட் 12-ல் வெளியானது.
ரசிகர்கள் மட்டுமின்றி, தமிழ் திரையுலகமே கமல்ஹாசனின் கலையுலக பொன் விழாவைக் கொண்டாடத் தொடங்கும் இவ்வேளையில், அந்த அசாத்திய கலைஞனது சினிமா வாழ்க்கையின் சாரம் 50 முக்கியக் குறிப்புகளாக இங்கே...
1. ஏ.வி.எம் தயாரிப்பில் பீம் சிங் இயக்கிய படம் 'களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா'. ஜெமினி கணேசன் - சாவித்திரி நடித்த இப்படத்தில் குழந்தை நட்சத்திரமாக அறிமுகமான கமல்ஹாசன், 1960-ல் சிறந்த குழந்தை நட்சத்திரத்துக்கான தேசிய விருதைப் பெற்றார்.
2. மழலைக் கமலின் உதட்டசைவில் உருவான களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மாவில் இடம்பெற்ற 'அம்மாவும் நீயே அப்பாவும் நீயே' இன்றைக்கும் ரசிகர்கள் மனத்தில் இருந்து நீங்கா இடம் பெற்றுள்ளது.
3. நடிகர் திலகம் என்று போற்றப்பட்ட சிவாஜி கணேசனுடன் 'பார்த்தால் பசிதீரும்', மக்கள் திலகம் என்றழைக்கப்பட்ட எம்.ஜி.ஆருடன் 'ஆனந்த ஜோதி' படத்தில் குழந்தை நட்சத்திரமாக நடித்துள்ளார்.
4. சென்னை புரசைவாக்கத்திலுள்ள எம்.டி.சி. முத்தையா செட்டி பள்ளியில் தான் படித்தார் கமல்ஹாசன். படிப்பின் மீது கொஞ்சமும் மனம் ஒட்டாத கமலுக்கு கலை மீது மட்டுமே ஆர்வம் இருந்தது.
5. கமல்ஹாசன் நாயகனாக நடித்த 'அபூர்வ ராகங்கள்' படத்தில் அறிமுகமானார், ரஜினிகாந்த். இப்படம் 1975-ம் ஆண்டில் சிறந்த மாநில மொழி திரைப்படத்துக்கான தேசிய விருதைப் பெற்றது. அன்று முதல் இருவரது நட்பு தொடர்கிறது.
6. 16 வயதினிலே படத்தில் சப்பாணியாக நடித்து ஹீரோயிஸத்துக்கான பிம்பத்தை தகர்த்தவர். அந்தப் படத்துக்குப் பிறகு வெற்றி நாயகனாக வலம்வரத் தொடங்கினார்.
7. 70 மற்றும் 80களில் கமல் - ஸ்ரீதேவி ஜோடி வெற்றிக் கொடி கட்டியது. இந்த இணை மொத்தம் 23 படங்களில் நீடித்தது.
8. கமல்ஹாசனும் ரஜினியும் இணைந்து நடித்து பல வெற்றிப் படங்களைத் தந்துள்ளனர். அவற்றில் அபூர்வ ராகங்கள், மூன்று முடிச்சி, அவர்கள், இளமை ஊஞ்சலாடுகிறது, அவள் அப்படித்தான், நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும், அலாவுதீனும் அற்புத விளக்கும் போன்றவை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கவை.
9. கமல்ஹாசனிடம் இருந்து ரஜினிக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த விஷயம் பஞ்சுவாலிட்டி.
10. இளம் வயதில் மலையாள சினிமாவில் தன்னை வெகுவாக ஈடுபடுத்திக் கொண்ட கமல்ஹாசனால் தமிழ், மலையாளம், தெலுங்கு மற்றும் கன்னடம் ஆகிய மொழிகளில் சரளமாக பேச முடியும். அதோடு இந்தி, ஆங்கிலம் மற்றும் மராத்தி ஆகிய மொழிகளையும் ஆர்வத்துடன் கற்றுக் கொண்டார்.
11. உலக சினிமா மீது அப்போது அவருக்கு மோகமுண்டு. கமலுக்குப் பிடித்த படம், விட்டோரியா டேசிகாவின் 'பைசைக்கிள் தீவ்ஸ்.
12. ஷர்ட் இல்லாமல் உடம்பை காட்டிக் கொண்டு நடிப்பது இப்போதையை ஹீரோக்களிடையே ஒரு வழக்கமாகவே ஆகிவிட்டது. இதற்கு முன்னோடியாக இருந்து, கே.பாலச்சந்தர் படத்தில் ஷர்ட் இல்லாமல் நடித்தவர் கமல்!
13. இலக்கியம் மீது ஆர்வம் கொண்ட கமல்ஹாசனுக்கு பிடித்த நாவல்கள் தி.ஜானகிராமனின் 'அம்மா வந்தாள்' மற்றும் 'மரப்பசு'.
14. சிவாஜி கணேசன் மீது பற்றுகொண்ட கமல்ஹாசன், எப்போதும் அவரை 'அப்பா' என்றே அன்புடன் அழைப்பார். சிவாஜியின் தாக்கம் இல்லாமல் தமிழ் திரையுலகில் எவரும் நடிக்க முடியாது என்பது கமலின் எண்ணம்!
15. பெரியாரின் கொள்கைகளை ஏற்றுக் கொண்டுள்ள கமல்ஹாசன் எப்போதும் தன்னை நாத்திகர் என்று அடையாளப்படுத்திக் கொள்ளவே விரும்புவார்.
16. தான் நடிக்கும் கதாப்பாத்திரமாகவே மாறிவிடும் கமல்ஹாசன் அதன் மூலம் நிறைய கலைகளை கற்றுள்ளார். அபூர்வ ராகங்களுக்காக மிருதங்கம் கற்றார்; அவள் ஒரு தொடர் கதைக்காக மிமிக்ரி கற்றார்; தேவர் மகனுக்காக சிலம்பாட்டம் கற்றார்... இப்படிச் சொல்லிக் கொண்டே போகலாம்.
17. கமல்ஹாசன் தயாரித்த முதல் திரைப்படம் 'ராஜபார்வை'.
18. கமல்ஹாசன் இளம் ஹீரோவாக வலம் வந்த காலத்தில் அவரது 'சட்டம் என் கையில்' படத்தில் வில்லனாக அறிமுகமானார், நடிகர் சத்யராஜ். பிற்காலத்தில் கமலின் தயாரிப்பில் வெளியான 'கடமை கண்ணியம் கட்டுப்பாடு' படத்தின் ஹீரோ சத்யராஜ்!
19. சோதனை முயற்சிகளில் ஈடுபடும் தமிழ் திரைக் கலைஞர்களில் தன்னிகரற்ற கமல்ஹாசன், சிங்கீதம் சீனிவாச ராவ் உடன் இணைந்து 'புஷ்பக்' என்ற வசனமற்ற படம் (தமிழில் 'பேசும் படம்') உருவாக காரணமாக இருந்தார். இப்படம் சிறந்த படத்துக்கான் ஃபிலிம் ஃபேர் விருது பெற்றது.
20. இந்தியில் 'சாகர்', 'ஏக் தூஜே கேலியே' போன்ற படங்கள் இந்திய அளவில் கவனத்தை ஈர்த்தன.
21. கமலைக் கவர்ந்த இந்தித் திரைப்படங்கள் 'மோஹால் இ ஆஸாம்' மற்றும் 'ஷோலே'.
22. அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள் படத்தில் குள்ள கமல் இன்றளவும் பேசப்படுபவர். தமிழ் சினிமாவில் காலத்தால் அழியாத முயற்சி அது.
23. மைக்கேல் மதன காமராஜன் படத்தில் நான்கு வேடங்களில் அசத்தியது குறிப்பிடத்தக்க முயற்சி.
24. மகாத்மா காந்தியை கொல்ல முனைந்த ஒருவனது வாழ்க்கையைச் சொல்லும் 'ஹேராம்' படம் வர்த்தக ரீதியில் வெற்றி பெறாமல் போனாலும் கமலுக்கு நிறைவையே தந்தது.
25. பழைய நட்புகளைத் தொடர்வதில் மிகுந்த கவனம் செலுத்துவார். சந்தான பாரதி, பி.வாசு, மணி ரத்னம், பி.சி.ஸ்ரீராம் என இந்தப் பட்டியல் மிகவும் நீளமானது.
26. குருநாதர் கே.பாலச்சந்தர் மீது அளவு கடந்த பற்று நிறைந்தவர், கமல்ஹாசன்.
27, தனது ரசிகர்களை நல்வழிப்படுத்தும் வகையில், ரசிகர் மன்றத்தை நற்பணி மன்றங்களாக மாற்றி பல்வேறு சமூக சேவைகள் புரிய வழிவகை செய்தார்.
28. தமிழ் இலக்கியவாதிகளை சினிமாவுக்கு அழைத்து வருவதில் ஆர்வம் கொண்டவர். கமலுடன் அதிகம் பணியாற்றியவர் மறைந்த எழுத்தாளர் சுஜாதா.
29. கமல்ஹாசன் நடித்த நாயகன் திரைப்படத்தை ஆல் டைம் பெஸ்ட் ஃபிலிம்ஸ் 100 பட்டியலில் ஒன்றாக சேர்த்து கெளரவம் தந்தது, டைம்ஸ் பத்திரிகை.
30. 'நாயகன்' படத்தைப் பார்த்த ரஜினிகாந்த் உடனடியாக கமல்ஹாசனுக்கு ஒரு கடிதம் எழுதினார். அதில் அவர் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ள சிறப்பம்சம், "நீ நடிகனின் நடிகன்".
31. 'நாயகன்' படத்தைப் பார்த்த சிவாஜி கணேசன் படம் முடிந்தும் நீண்ட நேரம் அமைதியாக இருந்தார். பிறகு, கண்ணீர்த் துளியுடன் கமலைக் கட்டிப் பிடித்த சிவாஜி, "படம் நல்லா வரும்," என்றார்.
32. சட்டம் என் கையில் படத்துக்காக சென்னை மொழியை லூஸ் மோகனிடம் கற்றார். 'சதிலீலாவதி'க்காக கோயம்புத்தூர் பாஷையை கோவை சரளாவிடம் இருந்து கற்றுக் கொண்டார். தெனாலி படத்துக்காக பிரபல வானொலி வர்ணனையாளர் அப்துல் ஹமீத்திடம் இருந்து இலங்கைத் தமிழை எப்படி பேசுவது என்பதைக் கற்றுக் கொண்டார்.
33. தமிழ் சினிமாவில் என்றென்றும் வாழும் கலைஞர் நாகேஷ். அவரை மிகச் சிறப்பாக பயன்படுத்தியவர்களில் கமல்ஹாசனுக்கும் பங்குண்டு. கமல்ஹாசனின் 'நம்மவர்' படத்தில் நடித்ததற்காக நாகேஷ் என்ற உன்னத நடிகருக்கு தேசிய விருது வழங்கி தனது விருதுக்கு பெருமை சேர்த்துக் கொண்டது இந்திய அரசு.
34. திட்டமிட்டு இயக்குனராக களமிறங்க இருந்த கமல்ஹாசன், நியமிக்கப்பட்ட இயக்குனர் செய்த குளறுபடியால் எதிர்பாராத விதமாக இயக்குனராக வேண்டியாகிவிட்டது. அவ்வைசண்முகியின் இந்தி பதிப்பான 'சேச்சி 420' தான் அவர் இயக்கிய முதல் திரைப்படம்.
35. மூன்றாம் பிறை (1982), நாயகன் (1987) மற்றும் இந்தியன் (1996) ஆகிய படங்களுக்காக சிறந்த நடிகருக்கான தேசிய விருதுகளைப் பெற்றார்.
36. ஆஸ்கார் விருதுக்கு சிறந்த வெளிநாட்டு திரைப்படங்களுக்கான விருது பிரிவுக்கு இந்தியாவின் சார்பில் பரிந்துரைக்கப்பட்ட படங்களில், இதுவரை அதிக எண்ணிக்கையில் கமல்ஹாசன் நடித்த படங்களே தேர்வு செய்யப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.
37. இந்திய சினிமாவிலேயே 'மேக்கப்புக்கு முக்கியத்துவம்' அளிப்பதன் அவசியத்தை உணர்த்தியதில் கமலுக்கு பெரும் பங்குண்டு. இதற்காக ஹாலிவுட்டில் இருந்து கலைஞர்களை வரவழைத்தவர். இந்தியன், அவ்வைசண்முகி, தசாவதாரம் ஆகியவை இதற்கு நல்ல உதாரணம்.
38. எழுத்தாளர், திரைக்கதையாசிரியர், வசனகர்த்தா, நடன இயக்குனர், இயக்குனர் என கலையுலகில் பல அவதாரங்களைத் தன்னகத்தே கொண்டுள்ள கமல்ஹாசனுக்கு பாடல் திறன் சற்று மிகுதியாகவே இருக்கிறது. ஒரு முறை பால முரளிகிருஷ்ணா தனது பேட்டியில், தன்னிடம் சங்கீதம் கற்க வந்த கமலின் திறமையை சில நாட்களிலேயே கண்டு வியந்ததாக குறிப்பிட்டிருக்கிறார்!
39. 1990-ல் இந்திய அரசின் பத்மஸ்ரீ விருதைப் பெற்றார்.
40. 2005-ல் சத்யபாமா பல்கலைக்கழகத்தால் கெளரவ டாக்டர் பட்டம் வழங்கப்பட்டது.

47. கமல்ஹாசன் பெற்ற ஃபிலிம் ஃபேர் விருதுகளின் எண்ணிக்கை 18.
48. 'தசாவதாரி'யாக கமல் எடுத்த கமர்ஷியல் அவதாரம், இந்திய பாக்ஸ் ஆபீஸின் டாப்களில் ஒன்று. கலைத் தந்தையின் 'நவராத்திரி'க்குப் போட்டியாக, மகன் போட்ட 10 கெட்டப்புகளைப் பரவச எக்ஸிபிஷனாகப் பார்த்துக் களித்தனர் உலகத் தமிழர்கள்.
49. இந்தியத் திரையுலகிலேயே 50 ஆண்டுகாலம் பல்துறை கலைஞனாக வலம் வரும் ஒரே கலைஞனும் இவரே.
50. சினிமாவை மூச்சாக அர்ப்பணிப்புடன் அணுகி வரும் கலைஞனுக்கு இருக்கும் ஒரே நீண்டகால வருத்தம்... 'மருதநாயகம்' என்ற கனவுப் படத்தை உருவாக்கிவிட வேண்டும் என்பதே!
காலத்துக்கு ஏற்றாற் போல் தன்னை மாற்றிக் கொள்ளும் கலைஞர்களில் கமல்ஹாசன் முதன்மையானவர். ரீமேக் கலாசாரம் மிகுதியாகத் தொடங்கிய இந்தக் காலக்கட்டத்தில், வேறு மொழிகளில் வெளிவரும் தரமான படங்களை தமிழுக்குக் கொண்டு வரும் முயற்சியாக, இந்தியில் சிறப்பிடம் பெற்ற 'தி' வெட்னஸ்டே' படத்தை தமிழில் 'உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன்' ஆக உருவாக்கி வருகிறார், கமல்ஹாசன்.
ஆனால், திரையுலகில் 'உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன்' யார்? என்பதே கமல்ஹாசனை 'உலக நாயகன்' எனப் பாசத்துடன் அழைக்கும் ரசிகர்கள் கேட்கும் கேள்வி.

Nothing official about Kamal's 50 years in films!
By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 12 August , 2009, 09:47
Today (August 12) is going to be a milestone in ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Hassan’s career. He completes 50 years in film industry as he first appeared in front of a camera as a child artist in AVM’s Kalathur Kannamma, on August 12, 1959.
Wish Kamal Hassan on reaching another milestone
Kamal was five years old when he did Kalaththur Kannamma directed by Bhim Singh in which Gemini Ganesan and Savitri played lead roles, He won the best child actor National Award for his performance in the film.
Check out the Kamal Hassan special
He has acted in the films of all the four South Indian languages and even in Hindi and Bengali films. No other actor in the country has achieved such distinctions in his career and created milestones for himself.
There were unconfirmed reports that his fans were going to celebrate this event in a grand manner, but when contacted, his media manager Nikhil Murugan said that no such things are planned and it will be just be another day for the actor.
Kamal, an encyclopedia of cinema, had teamed up with IIT-Madras a few months back to conduct an ‘international workshop and seminar on screenwriting’ to stress the importance of screenplay in cinema.
Many celebrated writers and top film makers of India took part in the workshop including veteran writer Jean Claude Carriere. Says Kamal the proud workshop architect: “International masters came to help. I never had such a chance when I started”.
He says: “I am happy with the fact that people have been kind to me, including my teachers, my technicians and even my critics. I consider myself as being fortunate, lucky not having some nasty accident”
Kamal is all excited about his latest film Unnaipol Oruvan in Tamil and its Telugu version, Eenadu, a remake of that critically acclaimed Bollywood hit A Wednesday. After completing this film, he will be doing two films simultaneously with KS Ravikumar and Myskkin for which discussions are on.
We at Sify.com salute Kamal Hassan

'நான் ஏற்கனவே சொன்னமாதிரி உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவனில்தான் சிக்கல் ஆரம்பமாகி இருக்கு. தொலைக்காட்சி உரிமையை ஐந்து கோடி ரூபாய்க்கு பேசியபோதே கலைஞர் தொலைக்காட்சி நிர்வாகிகள்கிட்டே, விஜய் டி.வி. நடத்தப் போகும் விழா பற்றி கமல் சொல்லியிருக்கார். ஆனா, படம் கிடைத்தால் போதும்னு அப்போதைக்கு ஓகே சொன்ன கலைஞர் டி.வி. நிர்வாகிகள், பிறகு மெதுவாக ஐந்து கோடி ரூபாய் ரொம்ப அதிகம். படத்தை மட்டும் வெச்சு நாங்க இந்தத் தொகையை திரும்ப எடுக்க முடியாது. அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியும் கிடைத்தால் நல்லாயிருக்கும்னு சொன்னதோடு, கலைஞரை வெச்சும் பிரஷர் கொடுத்திருக்காங்க... அதுக்குப் பிறகுதான் நிகழ்ச்சி கலைஞருக்கு போகுதுனு கமல் விஜய் டி.வி-க்கு தகவல் சொல்லியிருக்கார்...' என்றார்.
'அப்புறம் என்ன ஆச்சு..?'
'டீலிங் முடிஞ்ச பிறகும் கலைஞர் டி.வி. நிர்வாகிகள் விடுவதாக இல்லை. இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியையும் சேர்த்தாலும் ஐந்து கோடி வசூல் ஆகாது. நாலு கோடிக்கு படத்தை வாங்கிக்கறோம்'னு அடுத்தகட்ட பேச்சுவார்த்தைக்கு வந்திருக்காங்க. கூடவே, நீங்க பீச் மணலில் கால் புதையப் புதைய உங்க ஐம்பது ஆண்டு கால அனுபவங்களைச் சொல்ற மாதிரி ஒரு பேட்டி பண்ணிடலாம்னு கூலாச் சொல்லியிருக்காங்க... இதிலேதான் கமல் ரொம்ப கடுப்பாகிட்டாராம்.
'இல்லைங்க... நாம படத்துக்காக என்ன பேசுனோமோ அதுதான் என் ஸ்டாண்ட். அதை மாத்திக்க மாட்டேன். விழாவையும் அதையும் போட்டு குழப்பாதீங்கனு தீர்மானமான குரலில் சொல்லி அனுப்பிட்டு, உடனே விஜய் டி.வி.-க்கு போனைப் போட்டிருக்கார்.
நாம பேசினபடி விழாவை நடத்திட்டா என்னனு கேட்டிருக்கார். அவங்களும், 'சார்... நாளைக்கு மறுபடியும் மாற்றம் வந்தால் நாங்க சேனல் தலைமைக்கு விளக்கம் சொல்லமுடியாது. கோடிக்கணக்கில் பட்ஜெட் போட்டு 60% அளவுக்கு செலவும் பண்ணி அப்படியே நிற்குது... எதுவாக இருந்தாலும் யோசிச்சு முடிவு சொல்லுங்கனு சொல்லியிருக்காங்க. இல்லை, நீங்க அக்ரீமெண்டோடு வாங்க... நாம கையெழுத்து போட்டுக்கலாம்... இதுதான் ஃபைனல்!' சொல்லி அவங்களை வரவெச்சு அக்ரீமெண்டிலும் கையெழுத்து போட்டுட்டாராம் கமல்... விஜய் டி.வி. ஆட்கள் உற்சாகமாக வேலையில் இறங்கியிருக்காங்க...' என்ற தெனாலியிடம்,
'கலைஞர்கிட்டே கமல் ஏதும் பேசலையா..?' என்றோம்.
'அதுக்கான வாய்ப்பு இல்லாமல் போயிடுச்சு. ஆனால், நாளைக்கு கலைஞரை நேரில் சந்திச்சு கலைஞர் தொலைக்காட்சி நிர்வாகிகள் எப்படியெல்லாம் நடந்துகிட்டாங்கனு விளக்கமாகச் சொல்லி, இந்த விஷயத்தில் தன் பக்கம் தவறு ஏதுமில்லைனு எடுத்துச் சொல்லப் போறாராம்.
ஆனால், இந்த விஷயங்கள் அரசல் புரசலா கலைஞர் காதுக்குப் போயிடுச்சு போலிருக்கு. நானே நேரில் பேசி ஒரு விஷயத்தை வாங்கிக் கொடுத்தா இப்படியா அதைக் கை நழுவ விடுறதுனு கலைஞர் சின்ன எரிச்சலில் இருக்காராம். கமல் சந்திப்புக்குப் பிறகு சேனல் ஆட்கள்கிட்டே விளக்கம் கேட்பார் கலைஞர்னு சொல்றாங்க!' என்றார்.
'பார்த்தீங்களா... நீங்க சினிமா செய்தியைச் சொன்னாலும் அதிலே அரசியல் வாசனை இருக்குதே... அதனால்தான் உங்ககிட்டே கேட்டோம் இதைப் பற்றி!' என்றோம்

Kamal Haasan completes 50 glorious years of filmdom
“Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself”. Rodney Dangerfield the greatest actor of Hollywood, sums it all when he says this about an actor. Indeed, Padmashree Kamal Haasan has been carrying the striking appropriateness and pertinence of this quotation.
Marking his debut in 1959 with “Kalathur Kannamma’ directed by A. Bimsingh as a child artist, and continued acting in similar roles in the films of MGR, Sivaji Ganeshan and others. All of a sudden, the actor had to take a long break from films to complete his schooling.
He made his comeback as a supporting actor in most of the films directed by his mentor K. Balachandar (Arangetram, Sollathan Ninaikiren and more). He shot to fame more with prominence in “Naan Avanillai’ starring Gemini Ganeshan in lead role. Kamal Haasan bagged the first regional Filmfare awards for his spellbinding performance in Malayalam film titled “Kanyakumari’. From this point, there hasn’t been any turning back for this legend, as he continually gained more accolades.
Kamal Haasan geared up for new avatar as a producer with his 100th film “Raja Parvai’ under the banner of “RAJKAMAL PRODUCTIONS’ in 1981. Despites, the film not witnessing great results on box office, it still won him a Filmfare Award. The actor made high waves in Telugu film industry with “Maro Charithra’ directed by K. Balachandar that was later remade in Hindi as “Ek Duje Ke Liye’. One of his magnetizing flicks of 80s was “Moondram Pirai’ directed by cinematographer Balu Mahendra that gained him National Award.
He performed dual role for the first time with “Thoongadhe Thambi Thoongadhe’ produced by AVM Productions in 1983.
Later, Kamal Haasan started picking more offers from Bollywood that includes “Saagar’ starring alongside Rishi Kapoor. The film gained him couple of Filmfare Awards for “Best Actor’ and “Best Supporting Actor’ and that was one of his biggest achievements in B-town. He pioneered in conceptualizing “SEQUEL’ in Kollywood with “Kalyana Raman’ and “Japanil Kalyana Raman’.
The actor proved his versatility with top-notch performance in Manirathnam’s “Nayagan’ inspired from Hollywood ever-biggest classic “God Father’. The film was recommended for Academy Awards for “Best Foreign Film’ and was ennobled as “One of the best films in World’ by Times Magazine.
In 90s, Kamal Haasan delivered awe-inspiring performance with “Thevar Magan’ sharing screen space with veteran actor Sivaji Ganeshan and “Guna’. In 1996, he experimented with exceptional film “Kuruthipunal’ portraying him as a police officer. For the same year, he won National award for his dual-role performance as father-son “Indian’ directed by Shankar. The film was later dubbed in Hindi as “Hindustani’ and witnessed good appreciations.
With his earnest attempts of making historical epic “Maruthanayagam’ dropping off, Kamal Haasan ventured with “Hey Ram’ bilingual film in Hindi and Tamil revolving around the independence era and partition of Indo-Pak. The film featured Shah Rukh Khan alongside Kamal Haasan with Rani Mukherji and Vasundhara Das in female lead roles.
In contrast, his following film “Thenali’ was a rib-tickling comedy-entertainer that successfully crossed 175 days in Chennai Box office. The next film “Alavandhan’ was again a bilingual film in Tamil and Hindi titled “Abhay’ featuring him in dual roles of twin brothers (a psychotic person and military general).
Kamal Haasan continued marking his feat with more commercial entertainers “Pammal K Sammadham’, “Panchathanthiram’ and “Anbe Sivam’. Eventually, he wielded megaphone for a murder-mystery titled “Virumaandi’ that won critical acclaims. During the same year 2004, he geared up for the remake of “Munna Bhai MBBS’ titled as “Vasool Raja MBBS’. His next film “Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu’ was a crime-thriller with Gowtham Menon as the director.
Dasavatharam was the biggest of all his achievements, where he performed 10 roles. The film has won him awards on various criteria and indeed termed as milestone in Tamil Cinema.
At the moment, he has completed shooting for his bilingual film “Unnai Pol Oruvan’ (Telugu version titled as “Eenadu’) remake of Bollywood blockbuster “A Wednesday’. The film is slated to hit the screens by September and Kamal Haasan has already planned for a big budget flick that will start rolling by November.
We convey our heartiest congratulations to Padmashree Kamal Haasan for dedicating his life for film industry, and wish him more success in years to come.

And I got this fwd today
1) In 1978, his tamil movie "Sivappu Rojakal" got released. He played the role of a Psychopath killer (femicide).One year later, a guy called Psycho Raman was caught for brutally murdering people especially women.
2) In 1988, kamal played the role of a unemployed youth in the movie "Sathya". In 89-90's our country faced lot of problems due to unemployment.
3) In 1992, his blockbuster movie "Devar Magan" got released. Its a village based subject. There will be some scenes portraying communal clashes.
Exactly a year later in 1993, there were many communal clashes in southern districts.
4) We all know in 1996 many people in our country was cheated by finance companies. Our Kamal Hasan has clearly depicted this in his movie "mahanadhi" which got released in 1994 itself.
5) In "heyram"(2000), there are some scenes relating to Hindu Muslim clashes . We all know 2 years later, godhra( Gujarat riots) incident happened.
6) He used a word called 'tsunami' in his movie "Anbesivam"(2003).The word 'tsunami' was not known to many people before. In 2004, 'tsunami' stuck the east coast of our country and many people lost their lives.
7) In his movie "Vettaiyadu Vilayadu "(2006) there are two characters called ila&amudhan who played the roles of psychopath killers. After 3 months of release of the movie, the noida serial killing came to light
(moninder/sathish)
8) In his latest movie "Dasavatharam" in 2008 he mentioned about a deadly virus, which if not contained may destroy the world. Now 2009 we have the Swine Flu spreading in America where the film was shot

Superb writeup/tribute, Joe! Also, welcome back to the hub.
KH is getting closer to his 55'th birthday and has spent a good 50 years of that in cinema. His life has always been cinema and nothing other than cinema. It's no mean feat to win a national award for best acting in a debut film! Look at that innocuous eyes of this child prodigy while chanting "Muruga Muruga" in Kalathoor Kannama. He hasn't completed his sixth birthday while shooting that song and look at that pefect lip synch for the lyrics which may put some of the adult actors to shame! KH is a rare phenomenon/genius. When KH was once asked, "When will you quit acting?". "I will quit acting after I die", he answered.

A small boy was on the stage. He was acting in a drama. As he could not sing and act, since he was a small boy, another person was made to sing for him and that song had been recorded on a tap-recorder and it was put on when the action was taking place on the stage.
In the middle of the action, due some reason or other, the tap-recorder abruptly stopped and the song suddenly ended too when it was half-way through. The small boy was taken aback and he threw his sight sideways and his eyes met the author of the drama who was standing there.
He showed the sign, "Neeye Paadu"(you yourself sing). Next moment the boy sang with his lovely voice and he neatly completed the whole song accompanied with action. Those seated in the hall clapped their hands with great excitement.
When the boy entered inside after that scene was over, his guru embraced him and felicitated him with the following words: "Like this you have to be careful always. You have to face all sorts of situations and manage to win over them. Today, you have succesfully sung at a very critical and trying situation and has earned very good name not only for yourself but also for our company".
The drama guru who felicitated like this was none other than Muththamizh Kala Vidwaratna Avvai T.K.Shanmugam! Later, the boy acted in such dramas as "Palaappazham" and "Appaavin Aasai". That boy who has been doing proud to the guru and his (boy's) native soil is to-day's mega actor and 'kalaichakravarthy' Kamalhaasan.
"Avvai Shanmugi"'s 100th day posters had been recently posted on the walls everywhere. In that Annachi T.K.Shunmugam's photo still in Avvai get-up had been inscribed with the following words of Kamal: "I dedicate the mega success awarded by the Tamil people for this film to my Guru.
-Kamalhaasan".
The good hearts that earlier appreciated Kamal for having selected the name 'Avvai Shanmugi' for the film now even more praised him when he dedicated the victory of the film to his Guru.
If to-day Kamal is what he is to-day it is because of his talent, intelligence, hardwork and his good traits. In spite of these qualities is it not proper to bring back to memory those who have helped, by themselves remaining the soil, creeper, water etc., this beautiful flower to spread it's fragrance?
The patriot called Paramakkudi Seenivasan and the godly mother Rajalakshmi have brought and given to the world the art treasure called Kamalhaasan.

அதிசயம்... ஆனால் உண்மை.
ஒரு 28 வயது இளைஞன், தன்னுடைய திரையுலக பிரவேசத்தின் 50-வது ஆண்டைக் கொண்டாடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறார்.
திரையுலக சக நடிகர்கள் இவரைப்பார்த்து பொறாமைப்படும் இன்னொரு விஷயம்... 'இவருக்கு மட்டும் எப்படி ஸ்லோமோஷனில் வயதாகிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறது...?'
நடிக்கத்தெரிந்தவர்களுக்கு பாடத்தெரியாது
பாடத்தெரிந்தவர்களுக்கு ஆடத்தெரியாது
ஆடத்தெரிந்தவர்களுக்கு சண்டையிடத்தெரியாது
சண்டைபோடத்தெரிந்தவர்களுக்கு நடிக்கத்தெரியாது
நடிக்கத்தெரிந்தாலும் அழகிருக்காது
அழகிருந்தாலும் இளமை நிலைக்காது
ஆனால் உனக்கு மட்டும் எப்படி எல்லாம் ஒன்று சேர்ந்து...?
உன்னுடைய 'டைமிங் காமெடி'க்கு முன், எந்த நகைச்சுவை நடிகனும் தோற்பது நிச்சயம்
படத்தில் மட்டுமல்ல, நிஜ வாழ்க்கையிலும் நீ ஒரு 'தசாவதாரம்'.

Kamal Haasan: A new dawn in Tamil Cinema
Randor Guy on Kamal Haasan, as the actor completes 50 years in the movie business today
During August 1960, a historic event took place in Tamil cinema with the release of Kalathur Kannamma. Produced by A.V. Meiyappan, M. Kumaran and Arun Veerappan, and directed by successful filmmaker A. Bhim Singh, it was written by Javert Seetharaman adapting an English play which dealt with husband-wife relations and the plight of their child.
Playing the kid rose a new star on the movie horizon, a cherubic handsome little boy named Kamala Hasan who stole the hearts of everybody who saw the movie or even heard about it. This was the debut of the soon-to-blossom forth multilingual multi-pronged movie personality who renamed himself Kamal Haasan.
He played the role of a boy who grows up in an orphanage and a prayer song filmed on him “Ammavum neeye, appavum neeye” (music R. Sudharsanam, voice, well known ‘baby voice’-- playback singer M.R. Rajeswari. She is the daughter of a noted stage and screen actress of yesteryears T.V. Rajasundari Bai.) The song, with much meaning and captivating melody and the manner it was picturised, evoked sympathy and elevated the newcomer to overnight fame and name.
Reviewing it in the now sadly-defunct movie magazine Movieland, its editor K. Vasudevan wrote in glorious terms about the debut of the charismatic boy, glowingly predicting a great future which came true soon after. Not surprisingly, the film ran for 100 days, thanks to the newcomer. Besides KH, the film also had Gemini Ganesh, Savithri, Devika, T.S. Balaiah, Asokan, S.V. Subbaiah, L. Vijayalakshmi and Manorama, but folks remember only Kamal Hasan, whose name has become inseparably associated with Kalathur Kannamma.
(Not many are aware that Kamal was introduced in this film by T. Prakasha Rao, famed multilingual moviemaker [Padagotti, Utthamaputhran, Maathar Kula Manickam, Engalalum Mudiyum (written by this writer), Charanadasi (Telugu), Sasural (Hindi)] who directed a good part of Kalathur Kannamma. For some reasons, he opted out of the film after more than halfway and Bhim Singh took over. (Prakasha Rao told this writer that in an excellent gesture, Bhim Singh offered to would put his name (Rao) in the credits, but Prakasha Rao refused and of course, Bhim Singh’s name appeared in the credits.)
He played another little boy’s role in an MGR-Devika starrer Ananda Jyothi directed by A.S.A. Sami and V.N. Reddi. In this film too, he made an impact.
As he grew into a handsome young man, he played the role of a teenager in a controversial movie Unarchigal in which he was featured with Srividya. The story of a naïve but sexually mature boy contracting STD, this film ran into censor problems, and few remember it today.
He came with a bang in K. Balachandar’s Arangetram (1973) and it will be no exaggeration to say that he never looked back. Indeed, he went on to conquer new peaks of success in Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi cinema. Some of his mention-worthy films in these languages are Maro Charitra, Ek Duje Ke Liye, Sagara Sangamam, Vishnu Vijayam.
Nayagan, inspired by The Godfather, elevated him even higher. Besides acting, he learnt the ropes of screen writing, choreography, direction and production and revealed his expertise in all these fields in movies which are too many to mention.
In spite of his success, some critics and well-wishers feel that he has not yet tapped the enormous potential still brimming inside him. He is still young and maybe the ensuing years will witness fresh blossoming.

Why

?Sivaji continues to have a huge following. I guess you are new in these parts, check out the Sivaji thread, without doubt the most well written thread in the Hub, containing news and comprehensive reviews (by the likes of Murali Srinivas).
The fansite is run Hubber Raghavendra, it is treasurehouse of information, rare clippings, ads from the days of release etc. You may want to check out the feedback tab in that site to get a sense of the kind of interest Sivaji continues to command till date.

Actor, director Ramesh Aravind is eager to participate in the Golden Jubilee celebration of Dr Kamal Hassan professional career.
"Whenever I want energy, I go to Chennai and meet Kamal Hassan who is such a motivating force for many generations of actors", feels Ramesh Aravind. When I was a student, I anchored the 50 days of Kamal's ‘Sagara Sangamam’. Among all his films, I love his Anbe Sivam" adds Ramesh.
"I was an unofficial student of Raj Kamal Institute but when the script workshop was held in Chennai with giants like Shekar Kapoor and Ritupurna Ghosh I had the opportunity to learn many things that I have incorporated in my under production film ‘3 Guttu, Ondu Sullu, Ondu Nija’" disclosed Ramesh Aravind.

நேரடியா அவரை பேட்டியெடுத்தால் தான் உண்டா? (அதிலுள்ள சிக்கல்களை பற்றி நமக்கென்ன தெரியும்?) ,இல்லையென்றால் வேறு முறையில் ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சியையாவது கொடுக்க நினைத்தார்களே ,அதை பாராட்டா விட்டாலும் ,அதை பழிக்காமலாவது இருக்கலாம் .
கல்லூரி பெண்களிடம் கேட்டதில் என்ன தவறு ? 18 வயது கருத்து சொல்லக் கூடாதா ,81 வயது தான் கருத்து சொல்ல வேண்டுமா ?
நீங்கள் அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியை முழுவதும் பார்த்தீர்களா ? கல்லூரி பெண்களிடம் கேட்டது அதில் ஒரு பகுதி தானே ? முழுவதும் இல்லையே
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் திரையுலகினர் முகஸ்துதிக்காக சொல்வதை பார்ப்பதை விட இப்படி இளவயதினரும் ரசிகர்களும் கமல் பற்றி என்ன நினைக்கிறார்கள் என பார்ப்பதில் உண்மையிலேயே நான் மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தேன்.
ஒன்றுமே செய்யாததற்கு பதில் குறைந்தபட்சம் இதையாவது செய்தார்களே என நினைத்து மகிழாமல் ,செய்தவர்களை மட்டும் குறை சொல்லுவதாலும் திட்டுவதாலும் என்ன நன்மை நிகழ்ந்து விடப் போகிறது ?

Try and look for it, Hamid and I'd love to hear from you.
The absence of programs and events that commemorates one of the longest career of an extraordinary showman is staggering! They should have planned it ahead, like last year.
As for me, I'd welcome any shows that shows people, real audience like you and me, commenting on Kamal. And to have a generation younger, who are exposed mostly to Kamal's stuff of a decade and half, rather than us, who grew up with him as leading man, to comment merely shows how this man has transcended generations and is still relevant to the Gen Yers and below.

Thats what im saying.. Itz special.. pathoda pathinonna enna? if there is a program to celebrate 50 years of his contribution in cinema it should be done properly or should be left for somebody else to do it properly.

You are talking as if it is some exclusive coverage rights and not done properly.
They have done a program with title "உலக நாயகன் கமல் -ரசிகன் பட்டாளம்" and what else you expect from it ?
Anyway ,there is no point in discussing ,if you are not at all interested to take a look before comment.

The program I was talking about is "Kamal-50 - 50 years in Tamil cinema" thats what they advertised in Kalainjar TV.. I was talking about that program and viv told the lin is for that program..
anyway agree with you that there is no point in discussing with you with your style of replies..

Ayyo Joe,
Why such a long post for what was essentially an expression of my frustration at not having a byte from KH.
I am aware of the way the TV channels interview the college crowd-get some giggling girls/serious looking guys,ask them typical questions and allow them to come up with embarassing answers.
I am yet to see one intelligent program involving the common man esp wrt to cinema.
If this was different,then good for them but think I should be allowed the luxury of making a post based on previous experience.

கமல் 50 !
‘களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா'வில் தனது கலைப் பயணத்தைத் தொடங்கி ‘உன்னைப்போல் ஒருவன்' வரை 50 ஆண்டுகளாக சினிமாவில் சாதித்து வரும் கமல்ஹாசனின் பொன்விழா ஆண்டைப் பாராட்டி பிரமாண்டமான விழா நடைபெறவுள்ளது. கமல் ரசிகர்கள் நடத்தும் இந்த விழாவை ஒளிபரப்ப பிரபல டி.வி. சேனல்கள் கடும் போட்டியில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளன. விழா குறித்து கமல்ஹாசனிடம் கேட்டால்...
‘‘என் ரசிகர்கள்தான் விழா எடுக்க ஆசைப்படுகிறார்கள். நான் அதைத் தடுக்க முயற்சித்தாலும் அவர்களது அன்பு அதை முறியடித்துவிடும் என்றே எண்ணுகிறேன். ஐம்பது ஆண்டுகளாகத் தொடர்ந்து நடித்துக்கொண்டிருப்பதை நான் சாதனையாகக் கருதவில்லை. இத்தனை ஆண்டுகள் சினிமாவில் நான் தாக்குப்பிடித்துக்கொண்டிருப்பதற்காகவே என் ரசிகர்கள் விழா எடுக்க விரும்புகிறார்கள் என நினைக்கிறேன்'' என்கிறார்.

Kamal's interview to CNN-IBN. I found this answer very intersting and amusing
You have worked with Sridevi in a lot of movies. How was it working with her and having her as a co-star.
Kamal Haasan: I think with Sridevi, I know it sounds silly and out of place to say that, it was almost like a sibling kind of thing. I'm sure that I'm breaking the hearts of many who saw both of us as a great romantic pair. But we were on a job and it's like a sibling kind of a bond. I used to tease her lot, she was very young when she came in and she was scared of so many things. I took advantage of everything and scared the hell out of her. But it was a great relationship we had, nobody knows what kind of a relationship Sridevi and I have. She calls me sir, which is very strange for the number of films we've done. We did about 27 films and we never got to be great friends, we were always professionals.

கமல் - 50 விகடன்
அவதாரங்களுக்கு வயது 50. களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மாவில் கையெடுத்துக் கும்பிட்ட சிறுவனை இன்று இந்திய சினிமா வணங்குகிறது. தாகங்களின் தசாவதாரம். தலைமுறைகளை வென்ற தனி அவதாரம். கமலின் கலைக்கு இது விகடனின் பொன்விழா மரியாதை!
முதல் படத்திலேயே (களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா) சிறந்த குழந்தை நட்சத்திரத்துக்கான தேசிய விருதைப் பெற்றவர் கமல்!
'களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மா', 'ஆனந்த ஜோதி', 'பார்த்தால் பசி தீரும்', 'பாதகாணிக்கை', 'வானம்பாடி' என 5 படங்களில் நடித்த பிறகு, அவ்வை டி.கே.சண்முகத்திடம் சேர்ந்தார் கமல். அவர் வேறு திசைக்குப் பயணப்பட்டது அதற்குப் பிறகுதான்!
களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மாவில் குழந்தை நட்சத்திரமாக அறிமுகமானாலும்கூட, தனது குழந்தைப் பருவத்து நடிப்பில், பெரிய நடிகர்கள் யாருக்கும் மாஸ்டர் கேரக்டரில் கமல் நடித்ததே இல்லை!
கமல் நடித்த படங்களைப் பாராட்டி பாலசந்தர் எழுதும்போது 'மை டியர் ராஸ்கல்' என்றுதான் அழைப்பார்!
கமலின் தந்தை உடல் தகனத்துக்காக மயானத்தில் வைக்கப்பட்டு இருந்தது. சாருஹாசன், சந்திரஹாசன், கமல் மூவரும் சிதையின் அருகில் நிற்க, திரும்பிப் பார்த்த கமல் 'அண்ணா, நீங்களும் வாங்க' என இருவரை அழைத்தார். அவர்கள் ஆர்.சி.சக்தி, ஸ்டன்ட் மாஸ்டர் கிருபா. கதறித் துடித்தபடி அவர்களும் கொள்ளிவைத்தனர்!
ஃபிலிம்ஃபேர் விருதை 18 முறைக்கு மேல் வாங்கிய ஒரே இந்திய நடிகர் கமல்தான்!
எண்பதுகளின் மத்தியில் 'மய்யம்' என்ற இலக்கியப் பத்திரிகையைக் கொஞ்ச காலம் நடத்தினார் கமல்!
எம்.ஜி.ஆருக்கு 'நான் ஏன் பிறந்தேன்', சிவாஜிக்கு 'சவாலே சமாளி', ஜெயலலிதாவுக்கு 'அன்புத்தங்கை' படங்களில் டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டராகப் பணியாற்றி இருக்கிறார் கமல்!
ஆரம்பத்தில் 'சிவாலயா' என்ற நடனக் குழுவை ஆரம்பித்து நடத்தினார் கமல். அதற்குப் பிறகுதான் நடன உதவியாளராக தங்கப்பனிடம் சேர்ந்தார்!
ஆர்.சி.சக்தியின் இயக்கத்தில் வந்த 'உணர்ச்சிகள்'தான் கமலைத் தனி கதாநாயகனாக ஆக்கியது. ஆனால், முந்திக்கொண்டு வெளிவந்த படம் 'பட்டாம்பூச்சி'!
'நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும்' படம்தான் கமலும் ரஜினியும் சேர்ந்து நடித்த கடைசிப் படம்!
கமல் ரொம்பவும் ஆசைப்பட்டு, முற்றுப்பெறாத கனவுகளில் ஒன்று... 'மருதநாயகம்'!
கடவுள் மறுப்புக்கொள்கையைக் கொண்டவர் என்றாலும், ஆத்திகத்தை கமல் விமர்சனம் செய்வதில்லை
தமிழ், மலையாளம், தெலுங்கு, கன்னடம், ஹிந்தி, பெங்காலி மொழிப் படங்களில் நடித்திருக்கிற ஒரே தமிழ் நடிகர் கமல்தான்!
தன் உடலைத் தானம் செய்திருக்கிறார் கமல். சினிமாவில் இத்தகைய முன் மாதிரி இவர்தான்!
கமலுடன் அதிக படங்களில் ஜோடியாக நடித்தவர்கள் இரண்டு பேர். ஸ்ரீதேவி, ஸ்ரீப்ரியா!
கமல், சாருஹாசன், சுஹாசினி என அவரது குடும்பத்தில் இருந்தே மூன்று பேர் தேசிய விருது பெற்றிருக்கிறார்கள்!
'ராஜபார்வை' முதல் தம்பியுடன் இருந்து அலுவலகத்தைக் கவனிக்கிறார் அண்ணன் சந்திரஹாசன். கல்லாப்பெட்டி அவரது கவனத்தில்தான் இருக்கிறது!
ஏதோ மன வருத்தம்... சாருஹாசனும் கமலும் இப்போதும் பேசிக்கொள்வது இல்லை!
பிரசாத் ஸ்டுடியோவில் அகேலா கிரேன் இறக்குமதி ஆகியிருந்தது. அதை இரவோடு இரவாகச் சென்று பார்த்த முதல் நபர் கமல். பிறகுதான் பி.சி.ஸ்ரீராம் போன்றவர்கள் வந்து பார்த்தார்கள். தொழில்நுட்பத்தின் மீதுகொண்ட தீராத ஆர்வம்தான் காரணம்!
வீட்டில் நிறைய நாய்களை வளர்க்கிறார். கொஞ்ச காலத்துக்கு முன்பு இறந்துபோன நாய்க்காகக் கண்ணீர்விட்ட தருணங்களும் உண்டு!
'ஹே ராம்' படம் முதல் டைரக்ஷனாக வெளிவந்தாலும், முன்னமே 'சங்கர்லால்' படத்தை, டி.என்.பாலு இறந்து போக, முக்கால்வாசிக்கு மேல் இயக்கியிருக்கிறார்!
கமல் மிகவும் ஆத்மார்த்தமாக நேசித்த மனிதர் மறைந்த அனந்து. தன்னை வேறு தளத்துக்கு அழைத்து வந்த நண்பர் என்ற அன்பு அவர் நெஞ்சு நிறைய உண்டு!
அதிஅற்புதமான உலக சினிமாக்களின் டி.வி.டி. அணிவகுப்பு கமலின் ஹோம் தியேட்டர் கலெக்ஷனில் இருக்கிறது!
பட்டு வேட்டி பிடிக்கும். தழையத் தழையக் கட்டிக்கொண்டு ஆபீஸ் வந்தால், அன்று முழுக்க உற்சாக மூடில் இருப்பார்!
தமிழ், ஆங்கிலம், தெலுங்கு, ஹிந்தி, மலையாளம், பெங்காலி, கன்னடம், பிரெஞ்சு என எட்டு மொழிகள் கைவந்த வித்தகர்!
ரஜினிக்குப் பிடித்த படமான 'முள்ளும் மலரும்' படம் வெளியாவதற்குக் காரணமாக இருந்தவரே கமல்தான்!
'உங்களது படங்களில் உங்களுக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த படம் எது?' என்று கேட்டால், 'நான் நடிக்கப் போகும் எனது அடுத்த படம்' என்பார்.
கமல் மெட்ராஸ் பாஷை பேசிய 'சட்டம் என் கையில்', 'அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள்' ஆகிய படங்கள் மெகா ஹிட். மெட்ராஸ் பாஷைக்கு கமலின் குரு லூஸ் மோகன்!
'சட்டம் என் கையில்' படம்தான் கமல் இரட்டை வேடங்களில் நடித்த முதல் படம் என்பது பலரும் சொல்லும் தகவல். ஆனால், அவர் 'பார்த்தால் பசி தீரும்' படத்திலேயே சின்ன வயதில் டபுள் ரோல் பண்ணியிருக்கிறார்!
ஊர்வன, பறப்பன, ஓடுவன என அனைத்தையும் சாப்பிடும் அசைவப் பிரியர் கமல். ஆக்டோபஸை எவ்வாறு பிடித்து, சமைத்துச் சாப்பிடுவது என்பதை நடித்தே காட்டுவாராம். அந்த நடிப்பிலேயே எதிரே உள்ளவர்கள் பசியாறி விடுவார்களாம்!
ஆஸ்கர் விருது பெற்ற 'டிராஃபிக்' படத்தை இயக்கிய ஹாலிவுட் இயக்குநர் ஸ்டீபன் சோடர்பெர்க்கைப் போன்று ஒரு ஸ்டெடிகேம் கேமராவை இடுப்பில் கட்டி, லென்ஸைத் தன்னை நோக்கித் திருப்பிக்கொண்டு 'சிங்கிள்மேன் யூனிட்'டாக ஒரு படத்தை இயக்கி நடிப்பது கமலின் நீண்ட நாள் ஆசை!
நடிகர் நாகேசுக்கும் கமலுக்குமான உறவு 'அப்பா-மகன்' உறவு போன்றது. தன்னை 'கமல்ஜி' என்று நாகேஷ் அழைக்கும்போது, 'எதுக்கு அந்த ஜி' என்ற கமலிடம், 'கமலுக்குள்ள ஒரு நாகேஷ் இருக்கலாம். ஆனால், நாகேசுக்குள்ள ஒரு கமல் இருக்க வாய்ப்பே இல்லை' என்பாராம் நாகேஷ்!
கமலுக்கு சினிமா சென்டிமென்ட்களில் துளியும் நம்பிக்கை கிடையாது. 'ஹே ராம்' படத்தின் முதல் வசனமே இப்படித்தான் இருக்கும்... 'சாகேத்ராம் திஸ் இஸ் பேக்-அப் டைம்'!
நல்ல மூடு இருந்தால், நண்பர்களிடம் தன் கவிதைகளை வாசித்துக் காட்டுவார். விரல் ஜாலங்களை, குரல் ஜாலங்களுடன் கேட்கக் கிடைத்தவர்கள் பாக்கியவான்கள். இருந்தும் ஏனோ, இன்னமும் தொகுப்புகளாக வெளியிடாமல் தாமதிக்கிறார் கமல்!
''சந்திக்கும் மனிதர்களின் பேச்சுக்களை, நடவடிக்கைகளை நகலெடுப்பது போல் கவனிக்கும் ஆற்றல் எனக்குத் தெரிந்து சிலருக்கே உண்டு. இந்த ஆற்றல் கைவரப்பெற்றவர்கள் வரிசையில் முக்கியமான இடம் கமலுக்கு உண்டு'' என்கிறார் யூகி சேது!
'மர்மயோகி'யில் கமல் ஒரு அகோரி கேரக்டர் செய்வதாக இருந்தார். கொஞ்ச காலத்துக்கு முன்பு நீண்ட தாடி வளர்த்தது அதற்காகத்தான். 'சாமா சானம்' என்று தொடங்கும் பாடல் ஒன்றைக்கூட இதற்காகத் தயார் செய்துவைத்திருந்தார். 'மர்மயோகி' டிராப் என்றவுடன் தாடியை எடுத்துவிட்டார்!
நன்றாகத் தமிழ் பேசும் ஹீரோயின்களை கமலுக்கு மிகப் பிடிக்கும். தமிழ்க் கதாநாயகிகள் அதிகம் வருவதில்லை என்ற வருத்தமும் அவருக்கு உண்டு. அதனால்தான் அபிராமியையும் சினேகாவையும் அழைத்துத் தன் படங்களில் வாய்ப்பு கொடுத்தார்!
'காலையில் எழுந்ததும் யார் முகத்தில் விழிக்க விருப்பம்?' என்று கமல் முன்பு நடத்திய 'மய்யம்' பத்திரிகையில் ஒரு கேள்வி கேட்கப்பட்டது. கமல் சொன்ன பதில், 'காட்டில் இருந்தால் நரி முகத்தில், கட்டிலில் இருந்தால் ஸ்த்ரீ முகத்தில்'!
பாபர் மசூதி இடிப்பின்போது யதேச்சையாக டெல்லியில் இருந்தார் கமல். விஷயம் கேள்விப்பட்டதும் உடனடியாக அப்போதைய பிரதமர் நரசிம்மராவைச் சந்தித்து, தமிழ் திரையுலகம் சார்பாக எதிர்ப்பைப் பதிவு செய்தார். பாபர் மசூதி இடிப்புக்கு எதிராக சினிமா உலகில் இருந்து முதன்முதலில் எழுந்த எதிர்க்குரல் கமலுடையது!
முட்டையின் மஞ்சள் கருவை நீக்கிவிட்டு வெள்ளைக்கருவில் மிளகுப்பொடி தூவிச் சாப்பிடுவது கமலுக்குப் பிடித்தமானது. கூடவே பிளாக் டீ!
இரண்டு ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு விஜய் டி.வி-யில் கமலின் பிறந்த நாளுக்காகப் புகழ்பெற்ற கவிஞர்களை அழைத்து ஒரு கவியரங்கம் நடத்தினார்கள். ஒரு நடிகரைப் பாட்டுடைத் தலைவனாக வைத்து நடத்தப்பட்ட முதல் கவியரங்கம் அதுதான்!
'ஆளவந்தான்' ரிலீஸின்போது, 'இனிமேல் 100 நாட்கள் எல்லாம் படம் ஓடாது. சினிமா பார்ப்பது வாழைப்பழம் சாப்பிடுவது மாதிரி. சாப்பிட வேண்டும் என்று ஆசைப்பட்டால் அருகில் உள்ள பெட்டிக் கடையில் வாழைப்பழம் கிடைக்க வேண்டும்' என்று சொல்லி, அதிக தியேட்டர்களில் ரிலீஸ் செய்யும் சிஸ்டத்தை அறிமுகப்படுத்தியவர் கமல்தான்!
'யாரையாவது டின்னருக்கு அழைக்க வேண்டும் என்றால் யாரை அழைப்பீர்கள்?' என்று ஒருமுறை கமலிடம் கேட்கப்பட்டபோது, 'காந்தியடிகளை டின்னருக்கு அழைத்து, ஆட்டுப் பாலும் நிலக்கடலையும் பரிமாற விருப்பம்' என்று பதில் சொன்னார்!
'நாகேஷ், தன்னுடைய திரையுலக காமெடி வாரிசை உருவாக்காமல் போய்விட்டார். அந்தத் தவறை நானும் செய்ய மாட்டேன்!' அண்மையில் திரைக்கதைப் பயிற்சிப் பட்டறை நடத்துவதற்கான காரணமாக நண்பர்களிடம் கமல் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டது இது!
சென்னை புறநகரில் ஒரு மல்டிப்ளெக்ஸ் கட்டுவதற்காக கமல் இடம் வாங்கிப்போட்டிருக்கிறார். அனைத்துவிதமான தொழில் நுட்பங்களுடன் கூடிய சினிமா தியேட்டர்களும், கேளிக்கை பூங்காக்களும், ரெஸ்டாரென்ட்டுகளும் அங்கு இருக்கும்
தமிழ் சினிமாவை 'கோலிவுட்' என்று பலரும் சொன்னாலும் கமல் அந்த வார்த்தையை உச்சரிக்க மாட்டார். அப்படிச் சொல்ல வேண்டாம் என மேடைகளிலும் சொல்லியிருக்கிறார். தமிழ்த் திரையுலகம் என்று அழுத்தி உச்சரிப்பதே அவரது ஸ்டைல்!
வீட்டில் நான்கு கார்களை வைத்திருக்கும் கமல்ஹாசன் புதிதாக ஹம்மர் ஹெச்2 என்னும் காரை 1.8 கோடி ரூபாய் விலையில் வாங்கியிருக்கிறார். இது துணை முதல்வர் ஸ்டாலின் வைத்திருக்கும் ஹம்மர் ஹெச்3 காரைவிட காஸ்ட்லி!
'உனக்குள்ள நடமாடிக்கிட்டு இருக்குற மிருகம்தான் எனக்குள்ள தூங்கிக்கிட்டு இருக்கு', 'போங்கடா... போய் புள்ள குட்டிங்களைப் படிக்க வைங்கடா', 'வீரம்னா என்ன தெரியுமா..? பயம் இல்லாதது மாதிரி நடிக்கிறது', 'ஓநாயா இருந்து பார்த்தாதான் அதோட நியாயம் என்னான்னு தெரியும்', 'சந்தோஷம்னா என்னன்னு அதை அனுபவிக்கும்போது யாருக்கும் தெரியுறதில்லை', 'மன்னிக்கிறவன் மனுஷன், மன்னிப்புக் கேட்கிறவன் பெரிய மனுஷன்' - இவை எல்லாம் வசனகர்த்தா கமல் எழுதிய புகழ்பெற்ற வசனங்கள்!
மணிரத்னத்தின் படம் ஒன்றில் நடிக்க மறுத்ததாக கமல் பற்றிப் பேச்சு எழுந்த நேரம், அதைப்பற்றி சொன்ன கமல், 'நான் ஒரு விலை உயர்ந்த யானை. அதற்குரிய பணம் கொடுத்து என்னைப் பயன்படுத்திக் கொள்பவர்களுக்கு நான் ஒத்துழைப்பேன்' என்றார்!

Even in mohan lal community there are people who come in support of kamal when someone tries to belittle him..

san, completing five decades of film career. They discussed the actor’s flair for Tamil language at Tirumalai Naick Mahal late into the night here on Saturday.
Titled “Kamalum Thamizhum,” the event was part of the larger event titled ‘Ulaganayagan Kamal Aimbathu - Oru Thodarum Sarithiram’ organised by Vijay TV. Kamal Haasan, widely regarded as one of the finest actors of Indian cinema, has acted in more than 150 films in different Indian languages, produced and directed movies and won several awards. The actor made his debut in 1959 for the film “Kalaththoor Kannamma “when he was just five years old.
Speaking at the discussion forum, director Cheran said that Kamal Haasan was a dedicated artiste to the core who never compromises with mediocre stuff. He always tries hard to bring in that extra element and an actor who gives back to film industry whatever he has got from there. “He invests and re-invests in making films and films only.”
Tamil writer S. Ramakrishnan said that Kamal Haasan was the one who took Tamil films to greater heights, going beyond the confines of regions and his films always had a tinge of realism and naturalistic elements in it. For example, his film Thevar Magan captured the very essence of the south Tamil Nadu’s rural culture. This stands out as a representation of Tamil culture taking it to a larger level.
Sasikumar of “Subramaniapuram” movie fame said that Kamal had and will always have a greater influence on young directors. “We learnt patience from him since he underwent a lot of troubles and his films even faced problems owing to its title but he overcame all those and these things give us confidence.”
His films did address the core social issues of those respective eras, he said.
Tamil language skills of the actor are pretty well known and in terms of delivering dialogues he could be second only to Sivaji Ganesan.
Literary scholar K. Gnanasambantham, theatre personality Pralayan, directors Sasi, actor and theatre artist Shanmugaraja were among the others who took part in the discussion.

From Orkut:
1. Saturday evening, 29th Aug.“Kamalum Thamizhum,”- "கமலும் தமிழும்" - Shooting held @ Tirumalai Naicker Mahal, Madurai. This Programme(PGM) is the part of the‘Ulaganayagan Kamal Aimbathu - Oru Thodarum Sarithiram’ organised by Vijay TV
2. Preparation was going on from afternoon @ Around 9 pm the show started. Kamalji Fans 80 people seated in one side. American College (Visual communication dept with others) seated in oppostie side.
3. 'Neeya Naana' Vijay tv fame Gopinath conducted this PGM. Title is “Kamalum Thamizhum,”- "கமலும் தமிழும்"
4. Writer. S.Ramakrishnan, Era.Murukan, Manushyaputhiran, One vip from kerala, One lady,
Pralayan & Ku.Gnasambhathan were also seated.
5. The pgm held in OPEN stage in Tirumalai Naicker mahal. The LIGHTING EFFECT rocking. U will be in surprise while watching it in tv.
11:26 am (57 minutes ago) delete
Hearta
6. 'Sanga tamizh valartha maduraiyil ulaganayaganukku oru pon vizha' this introduction dialogue from Gopinath shot well with different angles repeatedly ("RIN KAMALUM TAMIZHUM' dialogue too) This dialogue with ROARING APPLAUSE rocked the whole Naicker Palace well. (First time such a pgm is held in this hall, In the beginning Gopinath thanked the Arachaelogical dept, Tamil nadu NEWS DEPARTMENT) This guy has a potential to drag out the information from vip who seated infront of him & conducted well. HE is one PILLAR for this pgm. If u watch the show @ TV u can feel it.
7.Cheran speaked abt MAHANADHI experiences with Kamal, Director Sasikumar participation is star attraction. He told HE is an ARDENT fan. HE saw all Kamalji movies in first show @ Madurai till VV. He will get IYAKKAM PASS from KARIMEDU ALAGAR(Mdu Iyaakam President) for each movie. But saw dasa @ cheenai first show. He narrated Hey Ram will be appreciated in future only. (Later Kamalji fans asked Sasikumar separately why some praising R...K... scenes r in Subramaniapuram movie, He revealed him that that was director samuthirakani's idea who acted in that movie.)
8. Ku.Ganasambhatham revealed minute details with kamal. S.Ramakrishnan rocked with NEW INFOS, One 100 pages book written regarding Hey ram. Manushyaputhiran also participated with new thoughts. Writer Era.murukan shared his experiences with Kamal as dialogue writer in Marmaogi & UPO.
9. If i put everything abt, what discussed there, that will not proper. Watch it on Vijay tv Telecasting.
10. After discussion with VIP'S Gopinath asked fans What is the favourite movie of kamal ? All said the name with reasons. The shouting of fans was UNBEARABLE. They showed the mass (as usual alwarpetandava, bagavanae, even they shouted JESUS CHRIST, ALLAH). The vip's also enjoyed their shouting & praising words towards Kamalji.
THE SHOW "KAMALUM TAMILUM" is GRAND SUCCESS. The pgm is INTERRUPTED due to Generator Fault around 12.45am. Shooting completed around 3.30am (Sunday morning). 6hrs of shooting held. One info is, then have now decided to telecast it in 3 parts. The editing part is going to be tough for the crew.
11. KUDOS TO VIJAY TV. None other channels will do this kind of pgms. Earlier i wrote in suggestion thread that QUALITY should be maintained. This is the PGM which proves it. Vijay tv rocked !!. If u see the show @ tv, u can feel it.
The venue Tirumalai Naicker Mahal SCINTILLATING. But open stage, with lightning effet really superb inside the hall. IT was the RICHNESS to the programme. (Another info is the Tirumalai Naicker palace was under repairing work & paiting, First they didnt gave it. KAMALJI called deputy CM of TN staline & requested for it. The deputy CM called his brother, the Souther District CM(!?) mr.Azhagiri and discussed abt it. Another info is KAMALJI with gowthami madam visited this Palace & selected the place. These r unconfirmed infos.)
12. Several weeks back, in Ku.Gnasambhatham sir's home vijay tv shooted his interview abt our KAMALJI for other pgm too.
13. Some fans were discussed that the GRAND CELEBRATION @ chennai date potponed, May be SEPTEMBER LAST SUNDAY.(This is because VIJAY TV wants to extend its pgms & asked for it) It seems that UPO on Sept. 18 only. Lets wait for confirmation from Sandiyar Karan Sir.
14. Sunday(Aug 30th) morning, 'KAMALJI EXPRESS BUS' started from Mariyamman Theppakulam area, then central parts of Madurai & fully covered vast area of the city.
Source of information : Mahesh, Jaisankar, dhanabal, Assistant cameraman of the vijaytv crew Pathiban sir, Shankar - DME student, Krishnan sir, B.K.Balaji, kannan & iyakkam fans (They r in 100% satisfied, happy and praised thanked Vijay tv that they have celebrated the function well in advance) This “Kamalum Thamizhum,” - Ulaganayagan Kamal Aimbathu - Oru Thodarum Sarithiram’ episode parts SHOULD be the MASTER PIECE pgm among others (After watching it U may understand it). Ofcourse, Final GRAND CELEBRATIONS @ Chennai too.

Interview with NDTV
Sonia Singh: I am joined by one of India's biggest stars Kamal Haasan, marking his 50 years in the industry. Kamal Hassan, Thank you very much for joining us on Your Call. It's a pleasure to have you with us on the show.
Kamal Haasan: My pleasure
Sonia Singh: 50 years in the film industry when you are 55. I just want to take you to your first movie. (Clip plays from his movie
Kalathur Kannamma). Your dialogue delivery packed quite a punch even at that time. Do you remember that at all? How old were you?
Kamal Haasan: I was 3 or 4 when I went into the studio. And the film took a lot of time and there was a change of director as well. So I got to do scenes twice. I think I was in a theme part and this was the boring part. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and don't remember the worst part at all.
Sonia Singh: So it was all fun. There was quite a hiatus but after that initial film, at 3-and-a-half or 4, your career took off a little later at 18 and not as a hero.
Kamal Haasan: Yes, but in the meanwhile I did 5 or 6 other films. So I was active till about 7, then there was a retirement. Early retirement I should say.
Sonia Singh: Right. And we have got a call, our first caller from Delhi. He is Raj Singh from Delhi. Mr. Singh, you can ask your question to Mr. Hassan.
Phone caller: Raj Singh: "Sir, my question to you is what inspired you to be a movie director and an actor? Did it come to you naturally, was it really meant to be or do you think it was something that inspired you? And my other question to you is that do you really wish to join politics in future?
Kamal Haasan: Oh yes, like every other Indian I am a politician but I am not that good an actor. That is an old line but that is the only true line. About why I became an actor, I really don't know. I didn't plan anything. I sort of just went to the floor. What I enjoyed most was entertaining people, being entertained and probably giving back what I received. When I act, I am giving back to Shivaji Ganesan what I received from him. He may not be around, but it's sort of a continuous circle but not vicious.
Sonia Singh: But in Tamil Nadu, especially, it seems like a natural transition that a super star like yourself will take the next step that is politics. Why hasn't it happened with you? You must have something that you are looking ahead to.
Kamal Haasan: Well, you can say that there are two ways to explain it. One is that I am not qualified. The second explanation would be probably I am more sensible.
Sonia Singh: Well, we have got another caller from Chennai. Let's just go across and have a look.
Video caller- Kanimozhi Karunanidhi: In the sixties, we had political ideologies propagated through films. Do you think that kind of a situation will come again?
Sonia Singh: You said you are not qualified, but there we have a lady, daughter of M Karunanidhi, a Rajya Sabha MP, asking about the link between Tamil cinema and politics which has been integral.
Kamal Haasan: Yes, she is right. And that is why I said that I am political but I am not a politician. I have very strong views. I have a rational approach to life and it is reflected in my films. My politics is probably more subcutis. It is not propagandist. She was right. It's happening more and more in Tamil cinema. My next film in Tamil has a lot of what she is talking about. But it is not propagandist. It doesn't take sides.
Sonia Singh: So your films are political but you are not a politician. Let me just go across to somebody who also wants to ask a question, someone who is a political commentator. A well-known film critic Cho Ramaswamy joins us from Chennai.
Sonia Singh: Mr. Cho Ramaswamy, Kamal wants to hear your question.
Cho Ramaswamy: First congratulations on these 50 wonderful years that you have contributed to Tamil cinema. It's a great thing. I don't think any other actor has played the different kinds of roles which you have. The amazing versatility which simply cannot be matched. Coming to the specific question, you are now saying that you are not qualified to become a politician. Is there any qualification for you to become a politician? That is perhaps one thing in India which doesn't require any qualification. Is it because you have too many qualifications that you are not entering politics?
Kamal Haasan: OK, just the moment that I said I am political, there I have Mr. Cho Ramaswamy. I smiled because I am a great fan of his and some of my politics and equipoise that people like me maintain comes from the kind of stand that he boldly took many times. I have seen him since my childhood. I am a fan and he likes people getting into trouble as you saw (laughing).
Sonia Singh: So you don't want to answer the question?
Kamal Haasan: Absolutely, I am already becoming political.
Cho Ramaswamy: Kamal, the way you are answering my question shows that you are completely qualified to become a politician because you have not given me any answer and have talked for five minutes.
Kamal Haasan: Let me borrow some boldness from Mr. Cho and say yes, probably I am qualified and that is why I am not qualified. You already gave the answer. Thanks for leaking the question paper.
Kamal Haasan: Thank you, thank you, sir.
Sonia Singh: You are asked so many times by your fans about joining politics. Other film stars like Rajnikanth have been asked because of the vacuum that is seen in the current politics, Tamil Nadu politics as well. Do you see that?
Kamal Haasan: Yes, but I used to be very angry about it and I gave an answer, seems not too inappropriate. I said there was a time when all Indians, most Indians got into politics, unless they were in civil service or working for the British. The rest of them got into politics. There might be a time when everybody will have to get into it, that would be the time when I would also publicly come out and actively be in it. But that time we'll all have guns. I hope it doesn't happen. I hope you don't need me in politics. Because when I do come, it will be because we are very very angry.
Sonia Singh: So, the politicians should do their job to avoid Kamal Haasan in politics. But I mentioned Rajnikanth. So that too, of course, from your profession, acting, and it has been a long long time since we saw you and Rajni in a movie together. I just want to play a clip. (A clip of them together in a movie is played out)
Sonia Singh: Well, I can't comment on who is the better dancer, but let us know about your relationship with Rajnikanth. It's hard for two superstars to be friends but what is the relationship like between you two?
Kamal Haasan: It was not hard at all, I think. I don't know whom to give credit to, but I think it was not hard at all. We still are friends but we are very clear about it. We have drawn our lines and that's not a battleline at all. It's a professional line and it was decided by both of us. We realised that one remuneration was split into two when we acted in films and we both were worthy of a full payment. It was actually a labour struggle. So we decided to go our ways. And that was the only reason, there was no ego problem at all. We have a healthy respect for each other and our tracks run different, different fields actually. We don't even think of each other as competitors but co-travellers with different destinations.
Kamal Haasan: I remember that we used to go around not painting the town red but actually went around Singapore and we had early morning calls and our boss was a very strict man and we would be sleepless. And I remember that we used to lean on each other and sleep while the director was not watching. So, that's how we grew up. We were from the same institution, same mentor, yeah.
Sonia Singh: Well, we take a quick break now. Of course when we come back, we'll discuss the movie which made Kamal Haasan a national name, and more of this, after a short break.
Sonia Singh: Welcome back and you are watching 'Your Call'. The one show on television where you're in the questioner's seat. You can just log onto ndtv.com. You can call on this number on your screen. You can send your question via webcam and ask your question directly to the personality of the week and tonight, of course, is the Indian star Kamal Haasan. And let's go onto our first question coming via webcam from Pune. Let's go on to the question.
Web cam question from Gopan Krishnan, Pune: Hi Kamal. Without doubt, I reckon, you will always be in my opinion the most versatile and finest actor , about the greatest in Indian cinema. But do you reckon that your mass appeal country-wide would have been far greater and impactful if you had been more advertised and had better and stronger command of the Hindi language?
Sonia Singh: The Hindi language... I just want to look up some clips from that Hindi movie,
Ek Duje Ke Liye, because in so many ways you have become known to the Hindi film audience through that.
Sonia Singh: This has been talked about not just in regards to you. But there is a feeling that there is a bias in Mumbai that while South Indian heroines have done extremely well and reached Number 1 posts, somehow the same hasn't happened with the South Indian heroes
Kamal Haasan: You can't say that because they have not shut me off. The fact is that one has to live there and pursue. It's not that I have had less failures, less obstacles in the industry where I have flourished now. The reason has been that I consistently have been trying. I have had my share of failures too, but you will have to keep trying. I stopped trying when there was a lot of underworld involvement in Bombay. I thought I was safer in Madras.
Sonia Singh: Did you feel underworld threats?
Kamal Haasan: Before. I am quick on the take when it comes to that, and I was quick on the draw so I withdrew.
Sonia Singh: Right!
Kamal Haasan: I have the choice. Like 'Hey Ram' was something I did on my terms. They allowed me to do it and then now I've a script ready. So if you are talking about longevity, they have been very kind to me. I have been there from when I was 26-years-old.
Sonia Singh: Great! Well, someone, of course, has made a choice in Bollywood. Your daughter Shruti . And well, she has got a surprise question for you. She is online with us right now from Pondicherry. Shruti, thank you so much for joining us and go ahead with your question to your dad.
Shruti: Hi Bapu! how are you doing?
Kamal Haasan: Hi!
Shruti: And because I am your daughter, I can be annoying. I am going to ask you how do you say "Thank God, I am a rationalist."
Kamal Haasan: Ya, that's to please you baby, because I've to accept your god as well.
Sonia Singh: You haven't made your children rationalists?
Kamal Haasan: No, I haven't tried. I wish I had but doesn't matter, now it's too late.
Shruti: We all have our own God, that was my question for you, because I heard you say that, "Thank God, I am a rationalist".
Kamal Haasan: Well, that's not my line. That's from another great filmmaker who said that. He said, "Thank god! I am an athiest." He is a friend and mentor, Mr. John Clotharia.
Sonia Singh: Shruti, Hi this is Sonia from Delhi studio. I just wanted to ask what is it like making a movie with the huge legacy you bear and what did you find most awkward when your Dad was watching your movie? Were you scared that he is going to be your worst critique or biggest fan?
Shruti: No, no. I don't think it's about those, really those clichés with us. I know my father loves me and I know that if I am going to slip and fall, you know, sometimes he will probably let me do that and sometimes his hand will be there before I get to the ground and that's really what it is about. I feel that I have a lot to learn from his career and not as his daughter but as an artist. And he has always been there for me and I hope that continues because I have learnt a lot and that's what I intend to do. It's not about being the biggest fan or the biggest critique at all.
Sonia Singh: Right, I think that's the nicest thing a daughter can say to her father.
Kamal Haasan: (to Shruti) Did you rehearse well?
Sonia Singh: She couldn't have because I just asked her that question. No, but I think it's wonderful. Because a daughter can say that to her father, it's a great tribute to how you have brought her up.
Kamal Haasan: She has been great and it's not like we are patting each other's back. And she has come up with flying colours taking into consideration that she didn't have a very normal childhood. But I tried my level best and she has got the level.
Sonia Singh: You have always lived life on your own terms and you have had a controversial view, not just on religion but marriage as well. Yet, you have been married twice.
Kamal Haasan: Yes, I always said, like she said, why you did you say, "Thank god! I am an atheist!" That's because I love people and I do most things to please the people I love, including silly things like marriage. But that's the only way they would have accepted a relationship. That's a compromise. And the reason I am not in politics is because it's an art of compromise. I can compromise, but not that much. But there are compromises. Yes, whenever I married, it was for a compromise and to get the person to be with me. It was a price I was willing to pay, but sometimes it's a little too much and I can't afford it.
Sonia Singh: You want to be true to yourself. The bit you said also about the fact that your children, Shruti at least, is a remarkably well-rounded and beautiful young woman. You mentioned about not a normal childhood. And one major thing, and it was scandalous at that time, was that both your children were born before you got married.
Kamal Haasan: That's right and that's what it is.
Sonia Singh: So, you decided to go ahead and get married?
Kamal Haasan: Yes! Because later on, even taking a hotel room was difficult. They wanted to know who the other person is. If you say 'that's the mother of my children', that's not good enough. So you had to say...
Sonia Singh: My wife?
Kamal Haasan: She is my Mrs. and I wanted to know what that 'Mrs' meant? It meant mistress. So, it's sort of a funny circle. I have been asking questions like they keep fighting and saying that's the oldest institution and how could you say it's failing just because yours failed. I think it is failing and it is not the oldest institutions and it's not the strongest holding institutions. The strongest holding institution is the family. You saw that between me and Shruti. That is family. That need not be clarified by something called marriage.
Sonia Singh: But how would you answer the accusation that perhaps it was unfair to the woman in your life, both to your ex-wife Vani and Sarika, who now, in fact, is not in touch with her children anymore?
Kamal Haasan: That's their decision. I mean only one has children, the other doesn't. So it's her decision not to be in touch, probably, with the children. I have an equipoise position. Equipoise on that and they don't want to be with her. I would facilitate that, but this is the way they want it to be and that's how it's going to be. I think they are persons now, they are not children. It's wrong to address..
Sonia Singh: They are adults.
Kamal Haasan: It's my point of view to call them children, but ask them from their point of view. They are adults, they can vote. Both of them. They can run the fate of the country, why not their own?
Sonia Singh: Religion. Now that again is something which, especially, in these times we seem to be becoming more and more rigid about as we go ahead. Not the other way round. It's controversial to have your views on religion. Why do you think it doesn't work?
Kamal Haasan: For me it doesn't work. If you had been at the time of Jesus Christ, you'd be called an atheist, a zealot. The way he spoke, he spoke against the religion, at least to the one he belonged to at that time. It took till 1967 for the Vatican to accept that Mr Christ was a Jew.
Sonia Singh: Yes, of course! And now we have new age zealot.
Kamal Haasan: We have the Gospel according to the Buddhist now and we have many contradictory things about mythology. We confuse our mythology with our history. That's our problem. And we teach our children that. I have a strong view and I am very happy to be in India and not elsewhere where this won't be allowed. Am grateful to the nation. If at all, I would like to bow before any powers, it would be my democratic government.
Sonia Singh: We have a web question for you all the way from Atlanta.
Video caller Harshad Methrath, Atlanta: Hi , you are a nationalist. I was just wondering when are you going to make a bold statement like you made in David Mugan or Virumandi, where you made people realise and feel very guilty about the violence they instilled in society. So, I was just wondering when are you going to make your next movie that is as bold as Virumandi. Thank you, that's my question.
Sonia Singh: Boldness is something that is associated with Kamal Haasan. From Atlanta. Your fans are all over the world.
Kamal Haasan : I am glad he asked that from Atlanta, You have to be far remote to understand or to misunderstand the difficulty that one has. People accused me of my films being violent. I am only a reflector. I am not infusing violence into my society. In fact, on the contrary, society infuses all the violence into me, slowly but steadily. My films' violence does not decorate or glorify. It makes you thrill and it serves the purpose only that way and I am not allowed to do it. It cramps my style a lot. And about various activists who now come into movies about animals... you go to Rajasthan. You will see camels carrying tons which only trucks can afford to carry. People don't do anything about that and also everybody consumes chicken.
Sonia Singh: I have got a question from Chennai. Someone I think you know.
Video caller: Khushboo Actor: First and foremost, my heartiest and warmest congratulations to Padmashree Kamal Haasan on his 50 years in cinema. Sir, I am supposed to ask you one question, but knowing you, I can't stop with one. So there are two questions which are aimed at you. First, what makes Kamal Haasan different from others? Secondly, my next question is, if you were a burglar, what would you like to steal and why?
Kamal Haasan: What I will steal is time, if I can. But that is one thing you can't burgle. But what makes me different is my family, my parents. They are very different people and my friends and the people I have. They are all very different people. I pick the best of them and hopefully, try to eschew them the bad past. I think that is what makes me different.
Sonia Singh: Mr. Kamal Hassan, you have taken stance a through your life and through your films, not many know. We had Khushboo on asking you questions. We remember the controversy when the self-styled moral police took her on for her comments on the issue of pre-marital sex. You had the same controversy way back for a kiss you did on screen, when MJR said it's against Tamil culture and you are offending it. Tell us about that controversy?
Kamal Haasan: Fortunately, he was not very vehement or angry about it. He knew me since childhood. He thought it's a child erring. But I was an adult and it was an adult case. What I am trying to say is, all this moral policing confuses people like me who have heard of Vatsayana and seen Konark, all the sculptures. I think, we are a sexually aware nation much before the rest of the world. Probably China could be an exception. But then, I don't know what happened. We picked up a lot of bad habits from people who came in and gave us newer cultures. And then we evolved into a confused new culture and we have more confused policing from it. Let me not go into a broader spectrum which is not actually my field. Let me talk about my film industry, look at the censors, and we have Adults-only certificate but we only give them adult-rated stuff.
Sonia Singh: But we have come a long way from the flower before a kiss?
Kamal Haasan: Yes. I mean, how do you think we manage a billion? I mean don't tell me it's a stork. I think we have grown up. Adults should see movies akin to what amuses them. What I would like to remind late Mr. Goldie Anand's statement for which he was removed from office. He said, "Let there be a Triple X cinema where people go to movies just for the stuff which is the excuse for businessmen, politicians and that's why we put it in the film. Otherwise, we respect the culture. Let them go to a separate theatre and no, please do not confuse it with the red-light area; I'm not talking about that." What Mr. Goldie Anand was trying to say, a filmmaker and a sensible one at that, was that the rest of the cinema will not be adult-rated with this kind of stuff. That's what he was trying to say. He was trying to clean up the act, literally. And he was cleaned out from office.
Sonia Singh: Thank you very much, Sir, for joining us tonight . It was a pleasure to have you.
Kamal Hasaan: Thank You.

எதிலும் 'முதல்வன்' கமல்!
தமிழ் திரைப்படத் துறையினர் எப்போதெல்லாம் புதுமைகளுக்கும் விஞ்ஞான முயற்சிகளுக்கும் முட்டுக் கட்டை போடுகிறார்களோ அப்போதெல்லாம் அதை உடைத்தெறிவதில் முதலில் நிற்பவர் உலக நாயகன் கமல்ஹாஸன்தான்.
தொலைக்காட்சியே வேண்டாம் என்று கோஷம் போட்டு ஊர்வலம் போனார்கள் தமிழ் சினிமாக்காரர்கள். அன்று தன்னந்தனி கலைஞனாக நின்று, தொலைக்காட்சி எதிர்கால சினிமாவின் இன்னொரு வடிவம் என்றும், திரைப்பட வளர்ச்சிக்கு அதைச் சரியாகப் பயன்படுத்திக் கொள்ளத் தெரியாமல் கோஷம் போடுவது அறிவீனம் என்றும் ஓங்கிக் குரல் கொடுத்தவர் கமல்.
அவர் சொன்னதுதான் நிஜமானது. இன்று தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்கு பெரும் உறுதுணையாக நிற்பவை தொலைக்காட்சிகள் தான். படத்தில் போட்ட முதலில் பெரும் பகுதியை இன்று தொலைக்காட்சிகள்தான் தருகின்றன, தயாரிப்பாளர்களுக்கு!
அடுத்து விசிடி - டிவிடியை அடியோடு தடை செய்ய வேண்டும் என்றார்கள். அன்றும் கமல்தான் முதல் குரல் எழுப்பியவர்... 'திருட்டு விசிடி வரும் வரை ஏன் காத்திருக்கிறீர்கள்... நீங்களே உங்கள் படத்தை சிடியாகப் போட்டு அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக விற்று லாபம் சம்பாதித்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள். தியேட்டராக இருந்தாலென்ன, சிடியாக இருந்தாலென்ன.. உங்கள் படத்தைக் காசு கொடுத்துப் பார்த்தால் சரிதானே. இது அதிக சினிமா எடுக்கவும் உதவும்' என்று உறைக்கும் படி கேட்டவரும் இவர்தான்.
அடுத்து டிஜிட்டல் சினிமாவுக்கு எதிர்ப்பு எழுந்தபோது, அதற்கு பதில் தர வெறும் பேச்சோடு நிற்காமல் ஒரு டிஜிட்டல் திரைப்படமே எடுத்து அனைவரது வாயையும் அடைத்தவர் கமல்.
இன்று ஆன்லைன் மீடியாவுக்கே சில தயாரிப்பாளர்களும், சில திரைத்துறை பிஆர்ஓக்களும் தடைவிதிக்க வேண்டும் என கொக்கரித்து வருகிறார்கள்.
இன்றும் கமல் ஒருவர்தான் ஆதரவுக் குரல் எழுப்பியுள்ளார். அதுவும் பேச்சோடு நிற்கவில்லை மனிதர். தனது உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன் படத்தின் டிரைலரை இந்தியாவில் உள்ள அனைத்து முன்னணி இணைய தளங்களுக்கும் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்.
எவ்வளவு ஸ்டில்கள் வேண்டுமோ வாங்கிக் கொள்ளுங்கள், எத்தனை பேட்டிகள் வேண்டுமோ எடுத்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள் என தனது மீடியா மேனேஜர் நிகில் மூலம் தகவலும் அனுப்பி வைத்துள்ளார்.
அடுத்த கட்ட சினிமாவை வளர்த்தெடுக்க 'யு ட்யூப்'பையும் பயன்படுத்திக் கொள்ளுங்கள் என தனது திரைக்கதை பயிற்சிப் பட்டறையில் புரட்சிக் குரல் எழுப்பிய கலைஞனல்லவா... தனது பேச்சை இன்று செயல்வடிவம் பெற வைத்துள்ளார்.
இன்று பெரும்பாலான இணையதளத்தைத் திறந்தால் முதலில் உங்களை வரவேற்பது கமலின் உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன் முன்னோட்டக் காட்சி அல்லது பேட்டிகளாகத்தான் இருக்கும்.
இதில்கூட ஒரு சிறப்பைப் பாருங்கள்... உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவன் முன்னோட்டக் காட்சியில் ஒரு இடத்தில் போலீஸ் அதிகாரி மோகன்லால், தீவிரவாதியின் படத்தை பேக்ஸில் அனுப்புங்கள் என்று கூறி, அடுத்த கணமே, 'வேண்டாம்... இமெயில் பண்ணுங்கள்!' என்பார். அங்குதான் நிற்கிறார் 'இன்டர்நெட்' கமல்!
கலை செய்யத் தெரிந்திருந்தால் மட்டும் போதாது... அந்தக் கலையை அனைத்துத் தரப்பு மக்களிடமும் சரியாகக் கொண்டு சேர்க்கும் அத்தனை உத்திகளையும் அறிந்திருக்க வேண்டும் என்பது கமலின் அழுத்தமான கருத்து.
கமலின் கருத்துக்கள் ஆரம்பத்தில் யோசிக்க வைக்கும்... வாதங்கள் கிளப்பும்... இறுதியில் அவையே ஜெயிக்கும்... அவரது படங்களைப் போலவே!

Part 10 focusses on Sir's humour side of acting. Its a known fact that KH is a big fan of Charlie Chaplin. KH seized the opportunity to pay tribute to Charlie Chaplin twice - one via a silent film (Pushpak) and the other in Punnagai Mannan where he played Chaplin Chellapa.

shanmugarajan and cheran was somewat sensible. Only Gnanasambandham & S. Ramakrishnan did gud justice to the title - kamalum [b]thamizhum[\b] and most others [ incl era.murukan & excl cheran] deviated most of the time
i was expecting about his language skills but crazy mohan too was missing.

I think the indoor stadium capacity is 10,000. Since that will not be enough for all the fans obviously, the rest will be confined to the Kannappan thidal. Some of us will get passes for the indoor stadium, many of us won't.

Yes but rather than vambu, its got more to do with the cliched questions, which he has been facing for a long time (a la "adhu yenda enna paathu indha kelvi-a ketta"). The directness of the man, "theriyadha nanbargal a sonna kovichuppaanga, Rajini ai eduthuppom, avarukke naan solradhu puriyum"!

These are exactly the answers I was talking about, periyar thing

This part focusses on the stunt aspect of Sir. Needless to say, KH is the best among Tamil actors when it comes to doing stunts.
He is the one of the best atheletes we have among the Indian actors, I say

Continuation on Sir's biography... The highlight of this episode is yesteryear (70's) actress Jayachitra's comments on Sir's acting.
The other highlight is Sir's daugther's proudly talking about their legendary dad.

Just back from the function. Damn tired but i'm here in spite of that because i have an early morning bus and can't afford to sleep now

Thanks to the dastards at Vijay TV, i almost thought i'd miss the bus being at the stadium.. Amaron battery madhiri javvu izhu izhuthutte irundhudhu function
VIPs: Rajini, Raaja, Rahman (made a fleeting appearance), Mammoty, Lal, etc....
Highlights: Rajini's humbling speech. Thalaivar got a bit emotional after that in his speech. Shruthi's singing was superb!
Raaja was very uncharacteristic (but not a big surprise if one had seen the Jaya TV concert). He made a speech and sang a song. I was hoping Rahman would make it to the stage but he didn't stay long enough. Radhika & Sarath Kumar prachanai dhaan
Saturated with paeans as one would expect and dread but barring the ridiculous length of the show, it was worth it, net net

just back from the Kamal 50 years celebration function. Simply the best ever. Rajini spoke the truth.. Ilayaraja rocked with his song.. rahman was also there. Prabudeva danced well. Mammooty,Venkatesh and Lal also spoke well. The Heroines episode was damn awesome. Great to see all the Kamal devotees again.. totally rocking show..

கமல்ஹாசனின் 50 ஆண்டுக் கால சினிமா வாழ்க்கையைப் பற்றி யோசிக்கும் போது பலவிதமான கருத்துக்கள் மனதில் அலை மோதுகின்றன. தமிழ்நாட்டில் வாழும் மத்திய வயதை எட்டியிருக்கும் ஒருவருக்கு அவர் விரும்பினாலும் விரும்பா விட்டாலும் தமிழ் சினிமா என்பது அவரது வாழ்வில் ஒரு பிரிக்க முடியாத அங்கமாகவே இணைந்திருக்கும். அதைப் போலவே கமல்ஹாசனும் அவரது வாழ்வில் தவிர்க்க முடியாதவராகிறார். களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மாவின் அம்மாவும் நீயே அப்பாவும் நீயே என்று துவங்கி, குணாவில் அபிராமி அபிராமி என்று உருகி, ஆளவந்தானில் மனிதன் பாதி மிருகம் பாதி என்று மிரட்டி, கடைசியில் தசாவதாரத்தில் அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதியின் முகமூடியை அணிந்து கொண்டது வரை நீளும் ஒரு நீண்ட வரலாறு அது.
ஆனால் இப்படிப்பட்ட உணர்வுபூர்வமான நாஸ்டால்ஜிக் நினைவுகளை ஒருபுறம் ஒதுக்கி வைத்து விட்டு, கமல்ஹாசனின் 50 ஆண்டு சினிமா வாழ்வினால் தமிழ் சினிமாவில் நிகழ்ந்த மாற்றங்கள் யாவை என்று தர்க்கரீதியாக யோசித்துப் பார்ப்போம். அவருடைய மகாநதியிலிருந்து தசாவதாரம் வரை ஒவ்வொரு படத்தைக் குறித்தும் பாராட்டுதலாகவும் சில சமயங்களில் எதிர்மறையாகவும் தொடர்ந்து வினையாற்றி வந்திருக்கிறேன். பாராட்டி எழுதியதே அதிகம்.
அந்த அளவுக்குத் தமிழ் சினிமாவில் தவிர்க்க முடியாத ஒரு ஆளுமையாகத் திகழ்பவர் கமல்ஹாசன். ஆனால் அவருடைய இவ்வளவு நீண்ட சினிமா வாழ்வினால் தமிழ் சினிமாவில் நிகழ்ந்த மாற்றம் என்ன என்ற கோணத்திலிருந்து யோசித்துப் பார்த்தால் மிகுந்த ஏமாற்றமே மிஞ்சுகிறது.
கமலுக்கு நேர் எதிர் உதாரணமாக, இயக்குநர் ஷங்கரை எடுத்துக் கொள்வோம். இவருடைய ஒரு படத்தைக் கூட நான் ரசித்ததில்லை. இவரது இயக்கத்தில் வந்த பாய்ஸ், அந்நியன், சிவாஜி போன்ற படங்களை நார்நாராய்க் கிழித்துத் தோரணமே கட்டியிருக்கிறேன். ஆனால் இதே ஷங்கர் வேறோர் விஷயத்திலும் ஈடுபட்டார். புதிய இயக்குனர்களை வைத்து குறைந்த பட்ஜெட் படங்களைத் தயாரித்தார். அந்தப் படங்கள்தான் தமிழ் சினிமாவுக்கு இதுவரை இருந்த அடையாளத்தை முற்றிலுமாக மாற்றியமைத்தது.
இது நடந்தது ஐம்பது ஆண்டுகளில் அல்ல; வெறும் ஆறே ஆண்டுகளில் ஆறே படங்களின் மூலம் இந்த மாற்றம் நடந்தது. இப்போது ஷங்கர் என்ற இயக்குனரையே பிடிக்காத நான் அவருடைய தயாரிப்பில் வரும் படங்களை ஓடிப் போய் பார்க்கிறேன். சமீபத்தில் கூட ஈரம் என்ற படத்தை முதல் நாள் முதல் காட்சியில் சென்று பார்த்தேன். தமிழில் அப்படி ஒரு படத்தை இதுவரை பார்த்ததில்லை. அந்த அளவுக்குப் புதிதாக இருந்தது ஈரம்.
ஷங்கர் மட்டுமல்ல; பிரகாஷ் ராஜின் தயாரிப்பில் வந்த மொழி போன்ற படங்களும் தமிழில் மாற்று சினிமாவுக்கான அசலான முயற்சிகளாக இருந்தன. அதேபோல் சசிகுமார் தயாரிப்பில் வந்த சுப்ரமணியபுரம், பசங்க என்ற இரண்டு படங்களும் பெரிதும் சிலாகிக்கப்பட்டவை.
இப்படியாக பலரும் மாற்று சினிமாவுக்கான முயற்சியில் தங்கள் முத்திரையைப் பதித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் போது, அபாரமான நடிப்பாற்றல் கொண்ட, உலக சினிமாவும், இலக்கியமும் தெரிந்த கமலால் ஏன் இப்படி ஒரு படத்தைக் கூடத் தர முடியவில்லை? கமலின் ராஜ் கமல் தயாரிப்பு நிறுவனம் தயாரித்தது என்னவென்று பார்த்தால், சத்யராஜ் நடித்த கடமை கண்ணியம் கட்டுப்பாடு என்ற மொக்கைப் படம்.
ஷங்கர் தன்னை புத்திஜீவி என்று சொல்லிக் கொண்டதில்லை. ஆனால் இப்படிப்பட்ட மாற்று சினிமாவுக்கு தமிழில் ஒரு தேவை இருக்கிறது என்ற உண்மையைப் புரிந்து கொள்ளும் புத்திசாலித்தனம் அவரிடம் இருந்தது. இந்தப் படங்களை மெகா பட்ஜெட் படங்களை இயக்கும் ஷங்கர் இயக்கவில்லை. இதுவரை பெயரே கேள்விப்பட்டு அறியாத புதிய இளைஞர்களைக் கொண்டு இயக்க வைத்தார். இதுதான் இப்போது கமல் செய்ய வேண்டிய வேலை என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.
கமல்ஹாசனின் முக்கியமான எந்தப் படத்தை எடுத்துக் கொண்டாலும் அதன் இயக்குனர் பெயர் வேறாக இருக்கும். ஆனாலும் அது கிட்டத்தட்ட கமலின் இயக்கத்தில் வந்த படம்தான் என்பது தமிழ் சினிமாவில் அனைவருக்கும் தெரியும். இந்தக் குறுக்கீடு இல்லாமல் இருந்திருந்தால் ஒருவேளை கமலின் பயணம் வேறு மாதிரி இருந்திருக்கலாம். மேலும், இதை குறுக்கீடு என்ற சாதாரண சொல்லால் குறுக்கி விட முடியாது. படத்தின் ஒட்டு மொத்த போக்கையே மாற்றி விட்டு, இயக்குனர் என்ற இடத்தில் யாரோ ஒருவரின் பெயரைப் போட்டு விட்டால் அந்தப் பொறுப்பிலிருந்து கமல் தப்பித்துக் கொள்ள முடியுமா என்ன?
கமல் படங்களின் முக்கியமான பிரச்சினை, அவருடைய படங்களில் அவர் தன்னை முன்னிலைப் படுத்துவதுதான் என்று தோன்றுகிறது. வசூல்ராஜா எம்.பி.பி.எஸ். என்ற நல்ல பொழுதுபோக்குப் படத்தை எடுத்துக் கொண்டால் அதன் இந்தி மூலமான முன்னாபாய் எம்.பி.பி.எஸ்ஸில் அதன் ஹீரோவான சஞ்சய் தத் அவருடைய பாத்திரமான முன்னாபாயாகத்தான் நடித்திருப்பார். ஆனால் வசூல்ராஜாவில் நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன்தான் தெரிகிறாரே தவிர ராஜாராமன் என்ற பாத்திரம் அல்ல. அதில் வரும் பாடலையே எடுத்துக் கொள்வோம். ஆழ்வார்ப்பேட்டை ஆண்டவா; வேட்டியைப் போட்டுத் தாண்டவா. இந்தப் பாடல் ஆழ்வார்ப்பேட்டை என்ற பகுதியில் வசிக்கும் கமல்ஹாசனைக் குறிக்கிறதே தவிர அந்த ராஜாராமன் என்ற பாத்திரத்தை அல்ல.
இது கமலின் ரசிகர்களை திருப்திப்படுத்தி, படம் ஓடுவதற்காகக் கையாளப்படும் யுத்தி. இந்த யுத்தி சினிமாவுக்காகவே தன் வாழ்க்கையை அர்ப்பணித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் கமலுக்கு எதற்காக? ரசிகனுக்காக கலைஞனா; கலைஞனுக்காக ரசிகனா? உலக நாயகன் என்று சொல்லி கமலைத் தன் தலையில் தூக்கி வைத்துக் கொண்டாடிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் ரசிகனுக்கு உலக சினிமா தெரியாது. ஆனால் கமல் அதில் மூழ்கித் திளைப்பவர். அப்படியானால், உலக சினிமா தெரிந்த கமல் எதற்காக பாமர ரசனைக்காக படம் எடுக்க வேண்டும்? கமல் ஒன்றும் வாடிக்கையாளருக்கு ’ என்ன வேண்டும்?‘ என்று கேட்டு கொடுக்கும் பரோட்டாக் கடை மாஸ்டர் அல்லவே?
நான் ஒன்றும் பொழுதுபோக்குப் படங்களுக்கு எதிரானவன் அல்ல. ஆனால் எந்தப் படமாக இருந்தாலும் அதில் கமல் தன்னையும் தன் ஆளுமையையும் முன்னிறுத்திக் கொள்வதால் படத்தின் நம்பகத்தன்மை குலைந்து விடுகிறது. அதாவது, கமல் தன்னுடைய படங்களில் தனக்கு ஒரு நாயகத் தன்மையை உருவாக்குகிறார். கமலே எழுதி, இயக்கி, தயாரித்த விருமாண்டியில் இதுதான் நடந்தது. கமலின் தன்முனைப்பே பெரிதாகத் துறுத்திக் கொண்டிருந்ததால் படம் தோல்வியுற்றது. ஆனால் அதே கதை அமீரிடம் பருத்தி வீரன் என்ற கலாசிருஷ்டியாகப் பரிணமித்தது.
இப்போது வெளிவந்துள்ள உன்னைப் போல் ஒருவனை எடுத்துக் கொள்வோம். அதன் இந்தி மூலமான ’ ஒரு புதன்கிழமை ’ யில் வரும் நஸ்ருத்தீன் ஷா ஒரு சாதாரண நடுத்தர வர்க்கக் குடிமகனாக வருகிறார். அந்த வேடத்தில் நடித்திருக்கும் கமலோ அப்படிப்பட்ட நடுத்தர வர்க்க மனிதனாகத் தெரியவில்லை. போலீஸ் கமிஷனருடன் அமெரிக்க ஆங்கிலத்தில் பேசுகிறார் கமல். காரணம், படத்தில் பேசுவது கதாபாத்திரம் அல்ல; கமல்ஹாசன். இந்த யுத்தியெல்லாம் ரஜினிக்கோ விஜய்காந்துக்கோ தேவையாக இருக்கலாம். கமலுக்கு எதற்கு?
மேலும், கமல் தமிழில் மொழியாக்கம் செய்யத் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கும் இந்திப் படங்களின் அரசியலே மிகவும் விவாதத்திற்குரியது. இந்தியாவில் ராணுவ ஆட்சி வந்தால் எல்லாம் சரியாகி விடும், பிரிட்டிஷ்காரன் காலத்தில் இந்தியா நன்றாக இருந்தது என்றெல்லாம் தமது அரசியல் ஞானத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தும் நடுத்தர வர்க்க மனோபாவத்தைப் பிரதிபலிக்கும் படங்களையே அவர் மொழியாக்கம் செய்யத் தேர்ந்தெடுப்பது ஏன் என்று புரியவில்லை.
உதாரணமாக, அப்பாவி மக்களைக் கொல்லும் தீவிரவாதிகளையெல்லாம் விசாரணையில்லாமல் தீர்த்துக் கட்டி விட்டால் இந்தியா அமைதிப் பூங்காவாகி விடும் என்ற நடுத்தர வர்க்கப் புரிதலே ’ ஒரு புதன்கிழமை ’ இந்திப் படத்தில் முன்வைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள அரசியல். மற்றபடி, இளம் வயதில் தங்கள் உயிரையே மாய்த்துக் கொண்டு போராளிகளாக மாறும் ஆயிரக் கணக்கான இளைஞர்கள் உருவாவது ஏன் என்பது பற்றிய எந்தச் சிந்தனையும் அந்தப் படத்தில் இல்லை. அது ஒரு நல்ல த்ரில்லர் என்பதில் எனக்கு மறுப்பு இல்லை. ஆனால் அதன் அரசியலில் மிகப் பெரிய அபாயம் உள்ளது. அதோடு, அப்படிப்பட்ட தீவிரவாதிகள் பிரச்சினையும் தமிழ்நாட்டில் இல்லை. தமிழ்நாடு என்ற பிரதேசத்தின் பிரச்சினைகள் வேறு. அந்தப் பிரச்சினைகளை கமல் எதிர்கொள்ள வேண்டுமானால் ஒன்று, அவர் ஒரு தீவிரமான இயக்குனரிடம் தன்னை முழுமையாக ஒப்புக் கொடுக்க வேண்டும். அல்லது, மாற்று சினிமாவை நோக்கிய கனவுகளோடு வரும் இளைஞர் கூட்டத்தைக் கொண்டு குறைந்த செலவிலான புதிய படங்களைத் தயாரிக்க வேண்டும். இதைத் தவிர இதுவரை சென்றிராத வேறு வழிகளிலும் யோசிக்கலாம்.
நன்றி: இந்தியா டுடே, யுவகிருஷ்ணா

comeon, IR liberally praised ARR for his 2 oscars as against John Williams one at any given time, called ARR the highr octave of Tamil film music after him etc - what more do you want ?
for someone like IR to give such open-hearted praises itself is something to be cherished, isnt it ??

for someone like IR to give such open-hearted praises itself is something to be cherished, isnt it ??
sorry i dont share the same reverance of IR like others - adhavadhu IR-e sollittaaru type of amusement.....

நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் சினிமா துறைக்கு வந்து 50 ஆண்டுகள் நிறைவடைந்ததையொட்டி விஜய் டி.வி. அவருக்கு பிரமாண்ட பாராட்டு விழா நடத்தியது. இந்த விழா நேற்று சென்னை நேரு உள்விளையாட்டு அரங்கத்தில் நடந்தது.
இதில் ரஜினிகாந்த், மலையாள நடிகர் மம்முட்டி, தெலுங்கு நடிகர்கள் வெங்கடேஷ், அல்லு அர்ஜுன், இசையமைப்பாளர்கள் இளையராஜா, ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான், மற்றும் தமிழ் நடிகர்- நடிகைகள் பலர் வாழ்த்தி பேசினர்.
கமலின் 50 வருட சினிமா சாதனை பற்றி ரஜினிகாந்த் பேசியதாவது:-
கமலைப்பற்றி பேச வேண்டுமானால் 2 நாள் வேண்டும். 1975-களில் அவர் சூப்பர் ஸ்டாராக இருந்த காலங்களில்தான் நான் தமிழ் சினிமாவிற்குள் வந்தேன். நாங்கள் இணைந்தும் படங்களில் நடித்து கொண்டிருந்த காலம் அது. “இளமை ஊஞ்சலாடுகிறது” படத்தில் என்னை நடிக்க சிபாரிசு செய்தவரே கமல்தான். அவர் நினைத்திருந்தால் என்னை நடிக்கவிடாமல் செய்திருக்க முடியும்.
நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும் படம்தான் நாங்கள் இணைந்து நடித்த கடைசி படம். அப்போது கமல் என்னிடம் சொன்னார். ரஜினி நாம் இனிமேல் இணைந்து நடிக்க வேண்டாம். அப்படி நடித்தால் புகழ் பெயர் வாங்க முடியாது. நீங்கள் உங்களை வளர்த்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள்.
தமிழ் சினிமா உலகில் ஜாக்கிரதையாக இருங்கள் என்று கூறி என்னை உற்சாக மூட்டினார். இது மட்டுமல்ல நாம் பிரிந்தாலும் என் படங்களில் உள்ள கலைஞர்களை நீங்கள் பயன்படுத்துங்கள். உங்கள் படங்களில் உள்ளவர்களை நான் பயன்படுத்துகிறேன் என்று கூறினார்.
சிரஞ்சீவி, அமிதாப், மம்முட்டி, மோகன்லால் எல்லோரும் நினைக்கலாம் கமல் என்ற சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் இருக்கும்போது ரஜினி எப்படி இவ்வளவு பெரிய ஹீரோவானான். நான் கமல் நடிப்பை பார்த்துதான் இந்த அளவுக்கு முன்னேறி உள்ளேன்.
குருநாதர் பாலச்சந்தர் எங்கள் 2 பேரையும் வைத்து இயக்கினார். அப்போது சூட்டிங்கில் கமல் நடித்து கொண்டிருப்பார். நான் அவர் நடிப்பை பார்க்காமல் சிகரெட் பிடிக்க வெளியே சென்றுவிடுவேன். குருநாதர் என்னை தேடுவார். நான் வந்தவுடன் எங்கடா போனே “தம்” அடிக்கவா? ஏன்டா. கமல் நடிப்பை பாருடா நடிப்பை கத்துக்கோடா என்று கூறுவார்.
அதன் பிறகு கமல் நடிக்கும்போது அவரது நடிப்பை கவனித்தேன். தம் அடிக்க போகவேமாட்டேன். கமல் பாதை வேறமாதிரி. அதை நான் பின்பற்றாமல் எனக்கு வேற ரூட் ஒன்றை போட்டேன் கொஞ்சம் புத்தியை யூஸ் பண்ணினேன்.
நான் நடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் “ரோபோ” எந்திரன், படம் கமல் நடிக்க வேண்டிய படம். அவருக்குதான் ஷங்கர் ரெடி பண்ணினார். ஆனால் சில கால தாமதத்தால் இப்போது மாறி போய் உள்ளது. ஷங்கர் ரோபோ பற்றி என்னிடம் கதையை சொல்லும்போது நான் நடிக்கமாட்டேன். இது கமலுக்காக தயார் செய்த கதை. அதில் என்னை கொண்டு வரமுடியாது என்றேன். ஆனால் ஷங்கர் சார் இது உங்களுக்காக வேறு மாதிரி செய்துள்ளேன்.
கமல் உண்மையான “சகலகலா வல்லவன்” கலையரசி தாய் மம்முட்டி, மோகன்லால், சிரஞ்சீவி, வெங்கடேஷ், என்னை ஆகியோரை கைகளால் பிடித்து கொண்டுள்ளார். ஆனால் கமலை மட்டும் மார்போடு அனைத்து பாதுகாத்து உள்ளார். ஏன் இப்படி செய்கிறீர்கள் என்று நாங்களும் நடிகர்கள்தானே கலையரசியிடம் நான் கேட்டேன்.
அதற்கு அவர் சொன்னார், நீ சினிமாவிற்கு வரவேண்டும் என்று இந்த ஜென்மத்தில்தான் ஆசைபடுகிறாய். ஆனால் கமல் 10 ஜென்மத்திற்கு முன்பே இருந்து ஆசைப்பட்டு கொண்டிருக்கிறார் என்று கூறினார்.
இவ்வாறு அவர் பேசினார்.
நடிகர் மம்முட்டி பேசும்போது, கமல் மலையாளத்தில்தான் கதாநாயகனாக அறிமுகமாகி உள்ளதை நினைக்கும்போது எனக்கு பெருமையாக உள்ளது. அவர் 50 வருட கலை சேவகர், அவருக்கும் எனக்கும் இப்போது போட்டி நடந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
அவரும் 3 தேசிய விருது வாங்கியுள்ளார். நானும் வாங்கியுள்ளேன். அடுத்த விருது யார் வாங்கப்போகிறார்கள் என எங்களுக்குள் போட்டி. இவ்வாறு அவர் பேசினார்.
நடிகர் மோகன்லால் பேசும்போது, இப்போது உள்ள இளம் நடிகர் கமல் போல் நடித்து பேர் புகழ் பெறலாம். ஆனால் கமலாகவே மாற முடியாது. கமல் என்றைக்கும் கமல்தான் என்றார்.
வெங்கடேஷ் பேசும்போது:-
நான் சென்னை டான் போஸ்கோ பள்ளியில்தான் படித்தேன். லயோலா கல்லூரியில்தான் படித்தேன். அப்போது கமல் படம் என்றால் தியேட்டரில் விசில் அடித்து ஆடி கொண்டிருப்பேன். இந்தியன்-10 தடவை, குணா 20 தடவை என அவரின் படங்களை பலமுறை பார்த்துள்ளேன். பார்த்து கொண்டிருக்கிறேன் என்றார்.
இசையமைப்பாளர் இளையராஜா பேசுகையில், “இது குடும்ப விழா. நேற்று சரஸ்வதிக்கு பூஜை இன்று அவரது மகனுக்கு பூஜை. அவருக்கு கடவுள் நம்பிக்கை இல்லை. ஆனால் கடவுள் அவர் மீது நம்பிக்கை வைத்துள்ளார் என்றார்.
மேலும் விழாவில் டைரக்டர்கள் கே.பாலச்சந்தர், எஸ்.பி.முத்துராமன், கே. விஸ்வநாதன், கே.எஸ்.ரவிக்குமார், ஷங்கர், நடிகை சரோஜா தேவி, நடிகர்கள் சரத்குமார், பிரகாஷ்ராஜ், அர்ஜூன், ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த், பிரபு, ஜெயராம், விவேக், சிவக்குமார், தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்க தலைவர் ராம.நாராயணன், ஏவி.எம்.சரவணன், மற்றும் பலர் வாழ்த்தி பேசினர்.
விழாவில் சிறப்பு அம்சமாக பிரபு தேவா தனது தந்தை சுந்தரத்துடன் கமல் படபாடலுக்கு நடினம் ஆடினார். மேலும் பல கமல் பட பாடல்களுக்கு நடிகைகள் சானாகான், ருக்மணி, ஷோபனா நடனம் ஆடினர்

சாரு நிவேதிதா போன்றவர்களின் கட்டுரைகளால், கமல் அவர்களின் மதிப்பும் சாதனைகளும் எள்ளளவும் குறையப்போவதில்லை. இவருடைய கட்டுரைகளையெல்லாம், படிப்பவர்கள் ஒரு பொருட்டாக மதிப்பதும் இல்லை. அவையெல்லாம் சாருவின் அரைவேக்காட்டுத்தனங்களைக் காட்டும் கண்ணாடிகளேயன்றி வேறில்லை. தமிழ் சினிமாவை உலகத்தரத்துக்கு கொண்டு செல்வதில் கமலை விட இன்னொருவர் சாதித்துவிட்டாரா என்ன?.
இவர் ஓகோ என்று புகழும் ஷங்கரைப் பற்றி நமக்குத்தெரியாதா?. சொந்தக்காசு என்றால் திருவல்லிக்கேணி மேன்ஷனில் போய் படமாக்குவார். அடுத்தவர் காசென்றால், படத்தில் ஒண்ணே அரைக்கால் செகண்ட் வரும் காட்சிக்காக, பாலம் முழுக்க பெயிண்ட் அடித்து படம் வரைவார். ரோடு முழுக்க பெயிண்ட் அடிப்பார்.
மானத்தை இழந்து காதலை விரும்பும் கதாநாயகனைக்காட்டி, தமிழ்க்கலாச்சாரத்தையல்ல, இந்திய கலாச்சாரத்தையல்ல, மனித கலாச்சாரத்தையே ஏலம் விட்டவர். (நடுரோட்டில் நிர்வாணமாக ஓடினால்தான் அவனைக்காதலிப்பேன் என்பாளாம். இவனும் ஓடுவானாம்). 'நான் எதை எடுத்தாலும் பார்ப்பார்கள்' என்ற ஷங்கரின் மமதைக்கு தமிழர்கள் கொடுத்தார்களே அடி. மறக்கக்கூடியதா..?

If he mention that in a article about Shankar ,then it is ok.
But Comparing him with Kamal is rubbish ..Kamal and shankar are different personalities ..Why he expects kamal to be a just Producer like shankar and doing nothing ?
Kamal has his set of talents(which Shankar doesn't have) and he knows what to do.
Shankar the producer should be compared with RB Choudry ,not with Kamal ..
Rubbish

Actually I don't think comparing Kamal with Shankar is invalid. But nevertheless Charu continues make the same kind of lazy (and utterly fallacious) inferences some film critics have been making for a long while now. I'd argue that these critics are still trying to come to terms with the fact that a commercial hero as mainstream as Kamal has started making his own films.
On the one hand, these critics want Kamal to make good films. The question they should ask themselves is, why Kamal? And on the other hand, they think Kamal shouldn't interfere creatively in the making of these films. But then, why should he keep producing those films? And what's the basis on which they keep claiming that this is precisely the best way to go? கடமை கண்ணியம் கட்டுப்பாடு?

We keep talking about the dearth of good filmmakers and an appreciative audience all the time, but what, I think, is (has always been) really at the rock bottom vis-a-vis Tamil cinema is film criticism.
There's not a single mainstream reviewer who's worth reading. And there's simply no singular voice whatsoever. All we focus on is praising ourselves for making the "good" film "win." When a film doesn't do well, people reason out what went "wrong" with it. All you hear from the critics about a film is exactly this -- the most commonplace view held by the greater audience. Besides this reflexive take on a film, the real opinion they have on it is usually from a very moralistic prism, or related to how "logical" the film is and so on. Unbelievably abysmal!

I mean, really! Would Charu care to name the films? mahAnadhi or anbE sivam, perhaps? Seriously which exactly are the films that Charu thinks would have been better off without Kamal's interventions?

Yeah, right. Not to forget that the actor who played the role of Munnabhai's father also played it "in character" unlike Nagesh.

There's not a single mainstream reviewer who's worth reading. And there's simply no singular voice whatsoever. All we focus on is praising ourselves for making the "good" film "win." When a film doesn't do well, people reason out what went "wrong" with it. All you hear from the critics about a film is exactly this -- the most commonplace view held by the greater audience. Besides this reflexive take on a film, the real opinion they have on it is usually from a very moralistic prism, or related to how "logical" the film is and so on. Unbelievably abysmal!

idhuvum point!
Actually, Baradwaj Rangan is very, very good. Much as I have irreconcilliable differences with him, there is no doubting his sagacity or articulation as a reviewer.
I'd say the same, to a much lesser degree, of the Kamaths and Sens as well.
The complaint against tamil mainstream critics is that they react to the audience reaction. And dont even speak of the off-mainstream ones like Nivedita.

kamal just waved his hands signalling a "nooooooooooo" .. vivek then samaalichufied that as he wont act with kamal, he will remain a kamal fan forever..

All the same, I'd have liked for Kamal to touch upon Eelam in this movie. . I think he can definitely add an interesting angle to this movie with that issue, not just from registering it in mainstream culture perspective, but also from enhancing the movie as a piece of art perspective, too.Epdinnu kEkka koodadhu - avar nenachA mudiyum - idhukku badhil enakku therinja naa ira.murugan place-la iruppEn

CN has become less funny of late. Wish he gets his mojo back, particularly when he writes stinging trash about people. I still remember that post trashing Kamal's message to Rahman after he won the Oscars. While the content isn't worth arguing about I couldn't help laughing.

I disagree, PR, insofar as I think better films have not at all effected good film criticism. I'm not talking about "bringing about a change," but rather along the lines of "playing their respective role." The question is, was mainstream Tamil film criticism ever ahead of mainstream Tamil filmmakers? Is there anything worthwhile written in a mainstream journal about the good films that come once in a while? In most cases, they're so clueless that they are actually behind the mainstream audience.

Joe, I don't think this is true at all. As I argued in my earlier post, many of the films that popular critics hold up are in fact mainstream successes. What was the last flop film that Charu praised?! Actually, this is exactly the sort of reaction that (inadvertently or otherwise) snubs any kind of alternate viewpoint on a film.

Ok, before I sign off, let me mention a few people whom I've happened to read (obviously not in mainstream journals) and consider worth reading. A Ramasamy (what's good about him is he takes mainstream cinema seriously without being reductive; Jeyamohan
wrote about his collection of essays here; he blogs
here), Jeyamohan (writes very rarely and not very familiar with Tamil cinema, but when he writes, he's insightful), Venkat Saminathan (he has utmost contempt for most Tamil films, but he's interesting even when he's basically lashing out at a film).

I seriously doubt that, Joe. For instance, Charu thinks very highly of Bharathiraja. He wrote a book on Tamil cinema some time back. He's supposed to have said something to this effect regarding BR's films in that book: If Bharathiraja had made films without songs, they would have been in the league of Adoor Gopalakrishnan's films.

Well, I find him insightful. It's not at all about whether one agrees with him or not. I think he engages with a film in a meaningful way and enlightens the reader. That is all. I find myself disagreeing with him very often. For instance, he often tends to condescend to film audience and asserts that one can do only so much in films. And he hardly writes on films. I just counted and I think I've read his take on exactly three films (kallUri, azhagi, veyil).

yeah, sanjeevi, but two candidates so far and both are Shankar films!
I'll have Virumandi - on subsequent viewings, I have found the much abused jail riots and even the final TV interview very engaging and essential. The movie is growing on me every time I watch it. So, while we all relegate it to the back pages when discussing all time Kamal movies, I think we are seriously overlooking something there.

But anyway, the point here is 'even' Shankar who is not known for his nuanced filmmaking has the production house that seems to dish out great films at some degree of regularity.
That 'even' is the part to emphasize on.

Hitting at Shankar for Charu's remarks is = எய்தவனிருக்க அம்பை நோவது
Possibly that's what Charu wanted - a divide between two groups who appreciate their favourites. It's better to not let that happen

i think charu was 100% correct there........shankar is doing a great job by giving back to tamil movies some level of quality.......hub-la illainna sonnalum, shankar is a producer with vision-ngradhu maathha mudiyaadha unmai......
THIS is another thing i detest - when bala makes something, all hubbers consider it as great but when shankar does it through production, they dont accept it and reduce him to R.B choudhry, dhanu range

There is no doubt that Shankar is producing some good movies. The point is that it need not be compared in an article about Kamal's 50 years journey.
If he wants he can seperately write an article comparing all the movies produced Rajkamal banner so far and comparing it with S pictures.. In my view Charu does not have the capability to do that kind of analysis. All he wants is to get some publicity for himself..

P_R, well, I am not much sold on kaadhal as an answer to all things good about Bollywood. Like always, everything I want to say has been captured better by equa before, so I'd only refer you to his few notes on Kaadhal spread over the Subramnayapuram thread. The ending troubles me - it is as embarassing as the teenage poems I am referring to which subsequently had to be burned to make me feel safe. The fact that I could invest so much personally in the rest of the movie so as to feel *personally* embarassed by that ending clearly suggests a movie which impacted me.
It's like an arrow in the dark - here, I'd refer to the arguments made by your camp on bollywood writing. Clearly, Sakthivel has made a choice which is *hopefully* touching for the viewers. The arrow hit its target but my feeling is that when he wrote it, it was not a targetted arrow but merely a hopeful one.
app_engine and maddy, I think the true incident part is up to the bashing Bharath receives from the kin of Sandhya. Much before the movie was made or planned, I read that incident in one of our esteemed magazines(Vikatar or kumudar). I think the groom died in that incident. Probably, that memory of that article is why I confidently assert that the ending was a 'poetic' insertion

No. Balaji Sakthivel said in Vikatan interview that the husband is currently taking care of 'Murugan'. He also admitted he could have done better w.r.t to the last scene (in a diff interview, though).

Just recalled
writing something about 'kAdhal' in this regard:

Originally Posted by
equanimus
I'm not sure if it is actually underrated, but when it's bracketed with the likes of 'Autograph' (which I actually quite liked), it's only fair to say it is! The film works on multiple levels for me. It weaves in all the cliches of a typical lovers' elopement story to the narrative and examines their politics. Take for instance the cliche of the girl "dumping" the boy when things goes out of hands. What does it really mean in our sociopolitical context? Such aspects are beautifully handled in the film.
The final scene worked for me. The burden of guilt for the girl was well brought out. I don't think much of the criticism that it's not subtly done. What mattered to me is that it was very effective. I attribute the criticism primarily to the good old "oh, why do people have to make such sad films" syndrome that many people suffer from. One can accuse of Cheran's 'thavamAi thavamirundhu' for manufacturing melodrama, not this one. The film ends right there (yes, after the "message" cry from Sandhya, take that!) as the three walk away. Balaji Sakthivel's focus here is her ovewhelming guilt and how the lives of these people were intervened irreversibly. In fact, throughout the film, it is never as much about the success of their love story as it is about their lives. Balaji Sakthivel doesn't do the mandatory cut to the boy's past, etc. Even the cut to "some years later" from the scene where Murugan is beaten to pulp is remarkably matter-of-fact.
It's poetic justice that this was the first film to be titled 'kAdhal' coming from a fimmaking machinery that churns out love stories every Friday. It's anything but the typical love story we're subjected to time and again, but it's also the definitive love story of our society in a larger sense. The way it captures the sheer 'agoraphobia' of the lovers in general is remarkable for instance. It's not a decidedly subtle film. Many scenes are in-your-face and work very very well. That's what conviction does to a film. A great film with exceptional artistic integrity.

Anna bala use to mention actress sangeetha as "muyarchi nadigai"

the same can be said about S pikchaars, and surely not low as thenandaal pictures( RB choudry had better attempts)
But, kaasu koduthu cannes kku veyil padam anuppicha sungar enge, raajkamal enge?? i said just raajkamal, need not say, "athay senja, ithai senja raajkamal" nothing needs to be said.
kamal the actor became filmmaker once he began rajkamal. sungar became filmmaker after S pictures and surely Kathal is a great attempt.
but that one single attempt don't guarantee him to be compared with rajkamal. none of s pickchaars are big budget or marvelous or so. chumma, kamals pulling power helped a songless kuruthippunal, UPO athu ithunnu sollaama, ethaavathu similar attepmt, allathu sontha moolai use panni ethaavathu pannittu appuram pesattum. becos, chaaru is requesting such a level rite??!!

MADDY ennamo vision nnellaam sollraar!! infact sungar is not paying the director the complete salary. he is paying sme profit share instead. money is the only language he knows much better. Digital perarasu is the most apt name he can possess, and only kaathal and veyil(an utter failed attempt) are the exclusion

On re-viewing, there are so many nuances in the riot scenes(konjam cliched and conveneint with Nasser's noble policeman role though - but it didnt stand out like a sore thumb) but that final TV interview, that is hard to justify or eulogise intellectually - that is personal experience, nerd. adhukku mEla solla mudiyala.

To add to that, it is precisely the fact that my original reaction to the movie was what it was, and with certain personal experiences, the changed reaction was what it was, that makes me marvel at Kamal's writing.
I have observed in the past about the detailing in the telugu of naicker family in the movie. Oh that is just semantical detail. And even that was amazing because the chances of that being noticed was like what 1 in a million? What Kamal achieved with the final TV interview in terms of nuance is much bigger, and beyond my articulation skills.

one thing u guys forgot. antha aalu chaaru posted a sentence saying that he had written a Ularal about kamal in IndiaTOday. that was 19 sep. evanum indya today vaangavum illai. scan panni, post panni, discuss panni panni kaaichalum varalai. So its a utter flop attempt by charu niveditha. So to revive himself, he requested his allakkai luckylook to post that full article on lucky's blog, after which all the ularals happenned. hilight is maddy's ularal
charu usually puts his 'views' as 'facts'. avarukku pidikkalaingarathu his view. but he writes that as ulagathukke pidikkalai and tries to to make it up as a fact, which never worked out.
but this attempt is utter laughable. but even if i sincerely give a consideration, then the answer is that raajkamal has already done what sungar is trying to do. magalir mattum, kadamai kanniyam kattupaadu, nala damayanthi ect are examples. and he cannot and need not do that always. his contribution back to Tamil cinema is not just giving chances to others in his rajkamal's non-kamal lowbudget movies. but sungar does ONLY that

first, inspite of that name calling, me too wrote good abt S pictures. not just wo write,but thats what i really felt. that name, & digital perarasu etc all are some kind of fun i make on his works, part of works. nerd himself mentions as sangar. i changed t slightly. thatsall.
btw, ur last signature, skipping some golden years of TFM too is a kind of insult. to each its own. again i say clearly, its a mock of his [some parts of ] works, like the way he uses grafics, technoogy ect. btw indian, boys, kathalan r my fav movies of his. dont take my name callng too serious

X=Any actor in the history of TFI.
Joe, saaru compared S productions and Rajkamal not Shankar and Kamal. I don't agree with him on multiple counts

AFAI understand all Joe was saying is why should Shankar be compared to Kamal at all ? He should be compared to producers like RB Choudhary who are producing our stock films while Shankar is indeed producing good ones. So when Joe is not 'equating' Shankar and RBC, he is indeed acknowledging that Shankar is indeed producing good films when compared to the usual TFI run of the mill stuff (represented by RBC).
When evaluating Kamal's contribution over the last 50 years to pick Shankar- the producer as a comparison point is invalid appidingrAr.
Naan enna solrEnnA - en poindukkE ippo thaan varEn - atleast ShankarE ivvaLo nalla padam edukkumbOdhu, certainly more can be expected out of Kamal - as an overall creator - and IMO he has been puffing and panting since VirumAndi.
That is what I meant when I said I kinda feel CN's choice of Shankar for this argument is not way off the mark. But the point should have rather been the above.
Of course the whole article is to be laughed away.

P_R,
"puffing and panting after Virumaandi"-he has written just two films after VM-ME and 10A.
Got it all wrong in the later part of the first one while the second was more about crafting a screenplay than serious writing.
Don't think he would have puffed and panted to write those two-walk in the park
To add to whatever has been discussed the last few hours,I too feel that 'Raajkamal'can do more and Shankar as a producer is def doing a good job.But to compare KH and Shankar is not on,two very different people doing very different things.
Contribution wise,there cannot be a comparison
yet.

Therilayeppa(read as in Nayakan)
He confirmed the Mysskin film on the Kalaigner show,when Cheran said their praises should not be taken as a prelude to them asking for dates,one of them has already got it(looking at mysskin),he said 'avaru vaangale,naandhan kuduthen".
But did not say it is his next,athuthaan confusion.If reports about him writing and producing a film with himself and KB is true,would prefer him doing the direction too rather than give it to KSR or somebody else.

Kood kostin!
Actually a bit of "nansans" reporting in some of the links here.
IR sang a bit song he had written and composed for the occasion. Idhu onnu (remember "Paramakudi-kaare!" in the Jaya TV concert? This was a longer and more serious song).
There was an unplugged segment with Balu Sir, Hariharan, Grammy Nayagi, Steve (piano), Keith Peters on the bass and a drummer.
In fact, all these musicians and singers were superb but choice of songs could have been better and the segment itself was too long.
Songs - "Unakkenna mele nindrai", "ninaithaale inikkum", "Telephone mani pol", "Kaadu thirandu", "Kallai Mattum Kandaal" (kalakkittaanga), "Nee partha parvaikkoru", "One is the loneliest number" etc...

Like I said before, his familiarity with Tamil cinema is rudimentary. But what I'm trying to highlight is that his criticisms are sharp. Take, for instance,
his review of 'azhagi.' You (I mean, I) can't shake off the feeling that he is really overrating the film, but his views (regarding the film and how he thinks it differs from the usual fare) are compelling and insightful nevertheless.

Got it.
Do you think it's a challenge to direct somebody else?
I've done that also.
It is easy to deliver. What about trying to get someone else to do that?
I've done that also. When you see some excellent performances in my films —
in ``Anbe Sivam" for instance, I directed Madhavan in many scenes. But that is because as an actor I was able to speak the jargon better. So I took over.

கமல் 50-சில பிளாஷ்பேக்குகள்
ஆக்டோபஸ் அறிவோடும், அமீபாவின் பணிவோடும் இருப்பவர்தான் கமல். ஐம்பதாண்டு கால திரையுலக பயணம் சிலருக்கு மட்டுமே வாய்த்த சிறப்பு. இன்றைய தேதியில் இவருக்காக சிம்சானங்கள் காத்திருந்தாலும், ஒரு காலத்தில் நடைவண்டி கூட இல்லாமல் சிரமப்பட்டவர்தான் கமல்.
சிறுவனுக்கும் வாலிபனுக்கும் இடைபட்ட அந்திப்பொழுது ஏராளமான குழப்பங்கள் நிறைந்தது. சிறுவனாக இருக்கிற வரை கிடைத்த சினிமா வாய்ப்பு வாலிபன் ஆனபின் கிடைக்காமல் போக இன்னும் குழப்பம் அவருக்கு. அந்த நேரத்தில்தான் தியாகராய நகரில் இருக்கும் திரைப்பட தயாரிப்பாளர் சின்னப்பா தேவர் வீட்டுக்கு போவாராம். வேறொன்றுமில்லை. வாய்ப்பு தேடிதான் இந்த விசிட்.
மிகவும் ஒல்லியாக இருக்கும் கமலை பார்த்து இப்படி ஒல்லியா இருக்கியேப்பா? ஒரு கல்யாணத்தை பண்ணிக்கோ, உடம்புல சதை போடும்னு சொல்வார் சின்னப்பா தேவர். ஆனாலும், "தம்பி உன்னை வச்சு நான் படம் எடுக்கிறேன். ஆனால் இப்போ இல்லை. அதுவரைக்கும் என்னோட அட்வான்சா இந்த செக்கை வச்சுக்கோ. எவ்வளவு வேணுமோ பில்லப் பண்ணி எடுத்துக்கோ" என்று ஒரு பிளாங்க் செக்கை கொடுத்தாராம்.
ஆனால் கமல் முதல் ஹீரோவாக நடித்தது தேவருக்காக அல்ல. பாலசந்தருக்காக. அரங்கேற்றம்தான் கமலை முதன்முதலாக ஹீரோவாக்கிய படம். ஆனால் பிளாங்க் செக்கை மறக்காத கமல், அதன்பின் தேவர் தயாரித்த பல படங்களில் நடித்தார்.
பட வாய்ப்பு இல்லாத காலங்களில் கமலுக்கும் அவரது நண்பர் எஸ்.வி.சேகருக்கும் இருந்த ஒரே பொழுது போக்கே திரைப்படங்கள் பார்ப்பதுதான். பஸ்சுக்காக வைத்திருக்கும் பணத்தில் படம் பார்த்துவிட்டு நடந்தே வீடு திரும்புவது இருவருக்கும் பிடித்த விஷயம். மவுண்ட் ரோடில் சினிமா பார்த்துவிட்டு சினிமாவை பற்றி அக்குவேறு ஆணி வேறாக அலசியபடியே வீடு திரும்புவார்களாம் இருவரும். ஓரிடத்தில் வந்து பிரிந்து அவரவர் வீட்டுக்கு போவதுதானே நடைமுறை. ஆனால் எஸ்.வி.சேகரின் வீடு வரைக்கும் பேசிக்கொண்டே வரும் கமல், அங்கிருந்து கிளம்பி போவாராம் தனது ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை வீட்டுக்கு.
கமலின் அறையில் இருக்கிற ஒரே படம் பெரியாருடையதுதான். இவருக்கும் சென்னைக்குமான உறவில் மிக முக்கியமான இடம் பெரியார் திடல். கருப்பு சட்டையணிந்து இங்கே அவர் பேசியதுடன் ஒரு நாத்திகராகவும் தன்னை அடையாளப்படுத்திக் கொண்டார். எப்போதிலிருந்து நாத்திகம்? என்றால், "எப்போதிலிருந்து தமிழ் பேச ஆரம்பித்தீர்கள் என்றால் என்ன பதிலோ, அதுதான் இதற்கும்" என்கிறார் கமல்.
கமல் விரும்பி சாப்பிடுகிற இடங்களில் ஒன்று அவரது வீட்டருகே அமைந்திருக்கும் சாம்கோ ஹோட்டல். சில நேரங்களில் அங்கு சாப்பிட வருபவர்கள் கமலின் அலுவலக வாசலில் வண்டியை நிறுத்தினால் செக்யூரிடிகள் கோபப்படுவதில்லை. ஏனென்றால் கமலின் வாழ்வில் ஒரு அங்கமாகவே இருக்கிறது இந்த ஹோட்டலும். ஒரு பிராமணர் உணவுப்பழக்கத்தை அசைவமாக்கிய பெருமை இந்த ஹோட்டலுக்கு உண்டு.
சாந்தோம் பள்ளியில் எட்டாவது வரைதான் படித்திருக்கிறார் கமல். ஆனால் உலக மொழிகளில் பல அவருக்கு அத்துப்படி. லாங்குவேஜ் வேறு, நாலெட்ஜ் வேறு என்று அடிக்கடி சொல்வது கமலின் வழக்கம்.
கமலின் ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை வீட்டுக்கே வந்து அரட்டையடிக்கிற நண்பர்களில் சுப்பிரமணியும் ஒருவர். இவரது கதை திறமையை கண்டு வியந்து பாரதிராஜாவிடம் கதை சொல்ல அழைத்துப் போனாராம் கமல். இந்த சுப்புரமணிதான் இன்றைய மணிரத்னம்!
கமல் சென்னைக்கு வந்து பிரபல நடிகர் ஆகிவிட்டாலும், அப்பா பரமக்குடியிலேயே இருக்கிறாரே என்ற வருத்தம் இருந்தது. பலமுறை அவரை சென்னைக்கு அழைத்தும் நான் வரலைப்பா என்று கூறிவிடுவாராம் அவர். ஆனால் மகனுக்கு ஒரு கடிதம் எழுத வேண்டும் என்றால் கூட முடியாமல் அவஸ்தைப்பட்டார் அந்த அப்பா.
அவர் அனுப்புகிற கடிதங்களை வாசகர் கடிதம் என்று நினைத்து கவனிக்காமல் விட்டு விடுவார்களாம். ஒரு முறை கமலின் கையெழுத்திட்ட பாஸ்போர்ட் சைஸ் போட்டோ ஒன்றையும் வைத்து அவரது அப்பாவுக்கு அனுப்பி விட்டார்களாம். இதில் மிகவும் அப்செட் ஆன கமலின் அப்பா, தனது இன்னொரு மகனான சந்திரஹாசனுக்கு போன் செய்து விஷயத்தை சொல்ல, அதிர்ந்து போனார் கமல். உடனடியாக ஊருக்கு போய் நடந்த விஷயத்தை சொல்லி மன்னிப்பும் கேட்டாராம்.

I watched azhagi on DVD and the BGM only enhanced the 'nuNNuNarvukaL' that he's talking about and was never loud / suppressing etc. It definitely had the "IR exclusives" but never interfered with the screen as jemo portrays.
OTOH, I strongly agree with his other opinion on IR

jeyamohan's views certainly show a lack of understanding of tamil cinema. He is comparing with Malayalam of 80's and 90's - and that's apples and oranges.
One line summary dismissal of Kamal and Shivaji just cannot be taken seriously - but to his credit, he is earnest enough to explain where he comes from, and it certainly makes sense to me from his vantage point . It's only that that vantage point is narrow enough to be a prism by itself.

Ran into this blog on Kamal Haasan, written by some common man/stranger.
http://jisa-joker.sulekha.com/blog/p...amalhassan.htm
My Journey with Kamal Hassan
Dec 2, 2008
I wasn’t convinced, when I first saw Kamalhassan as a passionate performer in Ilamai oonjal adugirathu. “16 Vayathiniley”, much later on TV I watched, didn’t quite relate with Chappani, as I did perhaps with Parattai, Rajini. “Rajaparvai” did give me glimpse of a visionary Kamal, though I dismissed that as a flash in the pan. The soul stirring Cheenu in “Moondram Pirai” did leave me perplexed, unsettled and heavy. Yet for a long time, I didn’t quite accept kamalhassan. No wonder, I was a kid then.
I grew up and this was a time when I was in personal crossroads, stung with series of failures and looking for light. On that night at mamandoor bus stand, in the middle of my search to destiny, with tears in eyes and a glass of tea in one hand, the songs of Vikram, for some reason cuddled my soul. The journey got lighter and I found light sooner. Since then I carry the tunes Vikram on my cell phone and in my heart even today. Then I was on verge of a break down and just began growing up.
With “Nayagan”, came the breakthrough. My breakthrough with the legendary personality Padmashri Dr.Kamalhassan. I watched Nayagan several times and my views on Kamal changed. It changed my hairstyle, clothes, just as Kamal and infact girls found me manlier after I clean shaved my mush, just as one felt about kamal. I caught up with the journey at last, with “best ever” kamalhassan.
“Apoorva Sagothargal”, I saw 25 times. Even today, I can never think of a simpler entertainer, with such a lucid screenplay (by kamal) and execution to perfection. Be it dance or romance, kamal was beyond the ordinary. Infact several notches above the extraordinary. His dance movements in the title song “Raja kaiyavachcha”, I’d always look for his hands, legs, eyes, face, and even his hair, dancing and delivering a well orchestrated symphony. And every time I never stopped anyway short of feeling a big one. “WOW”.
And what does one say of Gunaa. Its actually ahead of generations. The psyche of kamal, his obsession with the role and the theme was picture perfect. It will remain a milestone of world cinema for generations.
His comedy and sense of timing in “Micheal Madana Kamarajan”, “Aavvai Shanmuga and “Sathileelavathi” were full of awe and wonder. They and many more always be remembered for this man’s stature of a thunder. His efforts to sculpt a role beyond his legendary image was simply a marvel and beyond imagination. The efforts put on delivering a dialect with aplomb skills or a make up that brought the role close to reality is something I always felt, never got the recognition a star would rightfully deserve. He does prove the popular verses from scripture “the prophets don’t get honored at home”
If only kamal was born in the west, he perhaps would have tons of Oscars and be in a league of upper crest. The kamal is an actor of actors. What he is done for years and would continue to do, would resonate for a long time in every tinsel town of the world. Tomorrows stars will be modeled around Kamal as one would agree for sure. Beyond time and generations. Kamal will live through his work.Not just for his acting, but his holistic value to every single technicality and details around the cinema lifecycle.
“Thevar Magan”, “Anbey sivam”, “Hey Raam”, “Mahanadhi”, “Virumaandi”, “Kurthi Punal” and the list goes on and on. Every one of those is jewels in the crown, feathers in his cap for kamal, Tamil cinema and the world filmdom. In a commercial world where remakes of good movies thrived, no one dared to remake a kamal movie. To even be a copy cat of the great Kamal Hassan, one needed to be good enough, if not great. Then there was none who had enough to be a kamal other than Kamal himself.
Be it an offbeat romance in “Meendum Kokila”, a bharatnatyam dance epic essayed in “Salangai Oli”, a loud statement in the silent movie “Pesum Padam, the historic ek Dujhe ke liye, detached cop cameo in “Vettaiyadu Vilayadu”, immortal “Dasavatharam”, one can write textbooks of several volumes that would perhaps do justice in helping to build a better filmdom for tomorrow.
Ive always felt, most of kamals movies are ahead of time. In fact he is not worthy of awards. It’s the other way. Awards gets better when its on the evergreen Kamalhassan. Oscar included. Even today when I watch a Anbey sivam, Thevar magan or a Apoorva sagotharargal, its so relevant and fresh. Years later, perhaps when I see them with my grandchildren, I would feel the same without any doubt. So would many generations down the line would see his work and salute, then an immortal kamal.
Personally kamal has always impressed me as a person, who lives life his terms. Doesn’t seek approval or gratification. Refused to allow his personal and tinsel image to mix. His quiet works with his fan clubs, without fanfare is a clear example of “left doesn’t know what the right hand gives”. He lives life openly and never gets bogged down by criticism and cynics. He is calmer, matured and sexier with age and one person who is aging gracefully, yet getting younger with every new creation. He is what he is and never attempts on what others want him to be. A character that gets you thinking.
Then I think, I am too fortunate, to be in a generation where I live in a era of kamalhassan. Years ahead, be it “Marmayogi” or “Thalaivan Irukkinran”, his child like enthusiasm will be well received by an ardent fan like me, with the same enthusiasm of a child finding something new.
Passion and excellence is his soul. Isn’t that a hallmark of any champion of any field? In fact I shared my experience with an American colleague of mine about kamal and guess what, he now has a collections of entire kamal’s movies than any great fan of kamal. Including me. I love joining him always now and then to talk “kamal”, over a scotch. Isn’t that a great scorching excitement? Indeed.
Kamal isn’t a great talker unlike many of his contemporaries. Despite this, I once found Kamal’s words striking me hard. When quizzed on happy life, Kamal promptly responded “My passion is my profession and that makes all the difference”. I made a choice very soon and it was sooner, Happiness was at my doorsteps.
Then who cares, as his work does all the talking. If action were to speak louder than words, then there are no prizes for guessing as to who is the loudest. It’s Kamal indeed…

The successful comedy actor Vivek is very disappointed that he has never acted in a Kamal Haasan movie. In an event to felicitate Kamal Haasan’s 50 years in cinema, he said “I’m still maintaining a record as I haven’t acted in any of the Kamal’s films. As I didn’t act I am one among the Kamal’s fans and I’m happy about it.” The crowd laughed out loud at this and Kamal was seen gesturing that it was not his intention to do so.

It was really nice and I love seeing him in such a casual mode. He got truly emotional (naanumthAn

) every time the callers appreciated his work. At least 90% of the callers quoted Anbe Sivam as one of his best movies. Karan was referring him as "ennOda Sir".
One fan romba uNarchi vasapattu - "Sir unga padam hit aaguthO illaiyO adha pathi enakku kavalaiyE illa.. naan eppavum unga fan". Kamal jovially said "ayyayo enakku adhu periya kavalai .. ennOda sErnthu neengalum koncham kavala padanum"
Ramkumar said "neenga UPO mAthiri role paNRathu nallathuthAn but there are fans like me who want to see you romancing with heroines, doing stunts and dancing etc.. , intha fansaiyum neenga koncham satisfy paNNanum" and Kamal said "seekiram appadi oru padam paNNiRalaam"

UPO success has created lot of expectation and it can be fullfilled only if he directs himself or someother sensible director. Not KSR.
After UPO if thalaivar goes back to normal masala movie, common man is not going to like it
Let him come with the quasi-political thriller that he said he was going to direct minus KB minus Crazy Mohan minus KSR plus good technical+creative team like UPO

Continuation on Sir's episode... Today's episode focuses on the dance aspect of Sir which is like a child's play for him. Watch out for a 16-year old boy with Kutty padmini.
Besides being an actor par excellence, whenever Sir dances or performs a stunt sequence it's all gracefulness/elegance written over it.

NOV watch this film called The Postman Rings Twice (Nicholson version) and please redefine violent kissing. You hardly see him kissing more than, say 20 seconds atukkulla eppadi violence commit panna mudiyum.
And never romantic? Let me kuttikaranam laugh here,

Kamal excels in many areas, I agree, but grace?

Kamal definitely is the MOST graceful dancer I have seen in Indian cinema - not just graceful and elegant in a feminine way that most ppl associate Indian classical dance forms with, but IMHO, kamal brought in an element of 'macho'ness to his dancing without sacrificing grace or elegance!!
watch 'Salangai oli' again, you will know what I mean!

புத்தகங்களைவிட மனிதர்களைப் படித்தவன் நான் : கமல் அக்டோபர் 04,2009,16:52 IST
ஒரு காலத்துல விடியற்காலையில் குளிச்சுட்டு ஈரத்துணியோடு பூஜையை முடிச்சுட்டு, வீட்ல இருக்கிறவங்களுக்கு தீர்த்தம் கொடுத்திருக்கேன். அப்படி இருந்தவனை பெரியாரின் அறிவுபூர்வமான வரிகள் புரட்டிப் போட்டுடுச்சு!'' - எடுத்தவுடனேயே வெளிப்பயைடாக பேசத் தொடங்கினார் கமல்.
கமல் 50 - ஒரு தொடரும் சரித்திரம்! நிகழ்ச்சியை பிரமாண்டமாக நடத்தி முடித்திருக்கிறது. விஜய் டி.வி. இந்த கொண்டாட்டங்களுக்கிடையே கமலை அவருடைய ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை அலுவலகத்தில் சந்தித்தோம்.
லேட்டஸ்ட் "ஸ்பைக்' ஹேர்ஸ்டைலில் இன்னும் ஹேண்ட்ஸம்மாக கமல். சினிமாவில் பயணித்த இந்த ஐம்பது வருடங்களில் தட்டிக் கொடுத்தவர்களையும், சிந்திக்கவைத்த தருணங்களைப் பற்றியும் கமல் பேசிய விஜயங்கள் கமலைவிட அழகு!
என்னை உற்சாகப்படுத்திய கேள்வி!
குடும்பத்தோட நான் வளர்ந்த சூழல் தான் �ன் சினிமா பயணத்தின் ஆரம்பம். எனக்கு ஐந்து வயசு இருக்குமபோதே எந்த விஷயமா இருந்தாலும் நீங்க என்ன நினைக்கிறீங்க?ன்னு என்கிட்ட வீட்ல கேட்பாங்க. இந்தக் கேள்வியை கேட்டாலே உற்சாகமாகிடுவேன். சின்ன வயசில் என்னுடைய கருத்துக்குக் கொடுத்த முக்கியத்துவமும் மரியாதையும்தான் என்னுடைய தனித்தன்மையை எனக்கே புரிய வைச்சுது.
பொறுப்புகள் தந்தவர்!!
விஜய் டி.வி.யின் கமல் 50 - ஒரு தொடரும் சரித்திரம். நிகழ்ச்சியில் 16 எபிஸோடுகள் என்னைப் பற்றி பாலசந்தர் சார் பேசியிருக்கிறார். அவரைப் பற்றி நான் பேச 36 எபிஸோடுகள் தேவை. அவருடன் 36 படங்கள் பண்ணியிருக்கேன். ஆரம்பத்துல அவர் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்ததை நடிச்சிருக்கேன்.
பல படங்களுக்குப் பிறகு எல்லாம் கமல் பார்தஅதுப்பார்ன்னு நம்பி பொறுப்புகளைக் கொடுப்பாரு. சினிமாவில் அவர் எனக்குக் கொடுத்தது எல்லாமே டபுள் புரமோஷன்தான்.
தட்டிக் கொடுத்தவர்கள்:
களத்தூர் கண்ணம்மாவில் எவ்வளவுப்பா சம்பளம் வேணும்?னு பெரியவர் கேட்டார். பிளைமோத் காரும், ரெண்டு அல்சேஷன் நாய்க்குட்டியும் வேணும்'னு கேட்டேன். கெட்டிக்காரன்பான்னு தட்டிக் கொடுத்தாரு சைக்கிள் சீட்டைப் பிடித்துக் கொண்டு சைக்கிள் ஓட்ட சொல்லிக் கொடுத்தவர் நூல்விட்டு காத்தாடி விட சொல்லிக் கொடுத்தவர். இப்படி சின்னச் சின்ன விஷயங்கள் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்தவங்க எல்லாருமே எனக்க வாத்தியார்தான்!
படிச்சாதானா?
சில சமயங்களில் சில இடங்களில் கல்வித்தகுதி என் ஆசைகளுக்கு தடையாக இருந்திருக்கு.
சமீபத்தில் ஃபிளையிங் கிளப்பில் சேர விரும்பினேன். அப்ளிகேஷன் ஃபார்மில் தேவைப்படும் கல்வித்தகுதி இல்லாததுனால எனக்க இடம் கிடைக்கலை. இங்கே பரீட்சை எழுதி தான் புத்திசாலின்னு நிரூபிக்க வேண்டியிருக்கு. அதனால அடிப்படை கல்வித் தகுதிங்கிற கேட் பாஸ் நிச்சயம் தேவை. படிப்பை முடிச்சிடுங்கன்னு மகள்களிடம் சொல்லிட்டு வரேன்.
விட்டுக் கொடுக்கமாட்டேன்!
ஸ்ருதியின் பிறப்புச் சான்றிதழில் மதத்துக்கான இடத்தை வெற்றிடமாதான் விட்டிருக்கிறேன். போராடிதான் அந்த சான்றிதழை வாங்கினேன். என்ன மதம்னு அப்ளிகேஷனில் கேட்காத பள்ளியில்தான் மகள்களைப் படிக்க வைச்சேன். என்னுடைய கொள்கைகளை எந்த சந்தர்ப்பத்திலும் விட்டுக் கொடுக்கமாட்டேன்.
மனிதர்களைப் படிச்சவன்!
புத்தகங்களை விட நிறைய மனிதர்களைப் படிச்சிருக்கேன். அனந்துவைப் படிச்சேன், பாலசந்தர் சாரை இன்னும் படிச்சிட்டிருக்கேன்.
விஜய் டி.வி.யில் தொடரும் சரித்திரம்!
என்னைப் பற்றி ஒரு சரித்திர நிகழ்ச்சின்னு சொன்னவுடன் ஒரு தயக்கம் இருந்தது. ஆனால், விஜய் டி.வி. இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியையும் வெற்றிகரமாக நடத்திக்காட்டுவாங்கன்னு ஒப்புக்கிட்டேன். கமலும் காதலும் கமலும் தமிழும் எபிஸோடுகள் இதமான நினைவுகள்.
ஹெல்த் இஸ் வெல்த்!
புகை பிடிப்பதில்லை. பிடிச்சதேயில்லைனு சொல்லமாட்டேன். பிடிக்க ஆரம்பித்த சில மாதங்களிலேயே நிறுத்திவிட்டேன்!
ரஜினி!
ஒரு போட்டி இருந்தால்தான் நமக்குள் ஒரு உற்சாகம் கிடைக்கும். அந்த ஒரு ஆரோக்கியமான போட்டி எனக்குக் கொடுத்தவர் ரஜினி. அந்தப் போட்டிக்கிடையே எங்களுக்குள் இருக்கிற நட்பு கொள்ளை அழகு.

It is irrelavant discussion. Nov may have ability to compare various bharatanatyam dancers. Do I have to be a better actor than Kamal to talk about Kamal's acting abilities. I just compare Kamal with others and come to a conclusion about how he fares among others. Again it is opinion. Everyone has right to say about his/her opinions in this hub. BTW I found Kamal as one of the best dancers ever in Indian cinema.

You r right.I should have rephrased the question.
I should have asked NOV - "Do u know about bharathanaatiyam"...
even if he doesnt dance,he should know about bharathanaatiyam to comment about the "exaggeration" that he was talking about.
How can u compare two bharathanaatiyam dances and come to a conclusion...idhenna murungakka maadhiri length vechu compare pannuveenga?
If u pass comments like "exageration" etc on bharathanatiyam/classical music ...we should have knowledge about the particular field.
Regarding ur question...can only actors pass judgement on actors..
an actor acts like a common man.....so a common man can pass judgement on actors.

wrong again! famous danseuse Padma Subramaniam, waxed eloquent abt Kamal's dancing skills in S.oli!! so did several other classical dancers - perhaps you are saying they were all wrong ?!!
contrary to what you say, Kamals dances in S.oli were very carefully controlled movements going ballistic only at certain moments, when the 'thandavam' type moves required him to go full-blast - in fact, i find the expressions of real-life dancers very exaggerated while performing onstage!

I think I have said this many times: Kamal doesnt have to be a perfect dancer or perfect in English diction to be a perfect actor.
Whoever who thinks Kamal is "aandavar" will never be able to understand this, so let it go pls.
irir123, one real life episode:
one top MD came to Malaysia to judge a talent show. he waxed eloquently about the singers talents and even offered them to sing in his future movies.
privately, he told a different thing: the finalists would not have even qualified for the knock-out round in a proper talent show back home.
moral: dont take public showers of praise too seriously.
if you enjoy the performance, well and good. if someone else has some issues, too bad. but that shouldnt change your opinion.

p/s: I was talking about exaggerations in both expressions and movements.

Of course, as a perfectionist, he works hard to get it right. But I have no complaints. The end justifies the means.

hmm - did u ever interact with Kamal and ask him to do some dance movements impromptu and he failed to do so, which convinced you that he is not a natural dancer ? am a bit confused - there has got to be some set of logical observations to back your view
its like saying IR is not a 'natural' composer - he learnt writing notations much later in life - Of course, as a perfectionist, IR works hard to get it right. The end justifies the means
doesn't this apply to anyone/everyone ?? one might have oodles of potential, but needs the right amount of effort to get it all right, isnt it ??
there are other aspects of Kamal that I find 'un'natural - his overindulgence in prosthetic makeup for instance, which he could have easily done away with and instead focussed on strong sceenplays - see, i have some justification to support my view

I really do not know whether he is natural or not in dance. But he is one heck of a dancer. It is agreed by north indian actors also. In one interview Rishi Kapoor told that people go ga ga about Prabhu deva and Govinda when it comes to dancing. But no one is more gracious than Kamal. He is lot better than current heroes in Tamil in my opinion. Even though current generation has a lot of good dancers, their dances do not have the grace of Kamal. Kamal in fact only geniune classic (Bharatanatyam etc.,) dancer on male side.

I think you misunderstood. One can be a great dancer even though he does not have to be natural right. In my opinion Sivaji was the only one born with Acting capabilities. Others obtained that. Some of them have become great by hard working and learning. Probably that is what Kamal did with related to dance also.

One more thing I think you are upset mainly because devotees here call him as Andavar. I definitely agree with your words. For me he can't even be a role model because I am not in cinema. But as far as cinema goes he is the most complete artist I have seen so far. I don't know how he got there but he is there.

maybe. I have misunderstood his intentions. But I really like NOV because he is neutral and openly says whatever he thinks without considering the consequences from Kamal fans. Because here Kamal fans are so devoted and get upset for even slight criticism. Media is also praising Kamal too much I believe. We watched both Wednesday and UPO lastweek. We thought UPO is better version except Naseerudin Shah's performance in original version. I hope you understand what I am trying to get here.

Kamal Haasan - Showman of Indian Cinema
Posted on: Wednesday August 12, 2009
What makes an actor so special from others? ‘The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting’ – it was a magniloquent quote marked by Comedy King Charlie Chaplin. Doubtlessly, it’s more apt for our Living Legend Padmashree Kamal Haasan. It’s been 50 glorious years for this actor rendering awe-inspiring piece of works in showbiz.
Ask Kamal Haasan’s closer circle about magic of success and they come up with couple of statement that our legend utters very often. ‘Acting is not being emotional, but being able to express emotion’. Indeed the other one is ‘Acting is a question of absorbing other people’s personalities and adding some of your own experience.’
His presence happens to be a greater significance for Indian Film Fraternity and one can be proud enough boasting about this predominance. He happens to be the one and only performer gaining couple of Filmfare ‘Best Actor’ and ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for the same Hindi film ‘Saagar’.
5 decades back in time, Kamal Haasan started off with grandeur in ‘Kalaththoor Kannamma’ featuring ace actors Gemini Ganeshan and Savithri in lead roles. The film was produced by AVM Productions and directed by A. Bhim Singh in 1959. Across this magnificent 50 years, Kamal Haasan got far-famed in various criteria of direction, production, choreography, playback singer, screenwriter in different languages.
It isn’t an easy task of listing the enormous awards bagged by the legendary. He also won the best actor national awards for Moondram Pirai (1982), Nayagan (1987) and Indian (1996). In 1988, he won the Best Actor Filmfare Award for Pushpak, a black comedy that didn't have any dialogue. Apart from that, he has won several honours like Nandi awards and Tamil Nadu state film awards.
He holds special mention for most of his film being recommended for Academy Award in Best Foreign Language Film category.
Earlier, his diehard fans and close circle of friends requested him to release his forthcoming flick ‘Unnai Pol Oruvan’ on August 12 as it marks his golden jubilee. However, due to some last minute changes in post production works, the release date has been postponed.
The entire Indian film industry is planning to host a grand celebration of felicitating Kamal Haasan for his noble contributions to tinsel town.
The entire team of Toptencinema congratulates the Super Actor and wishes him for best success in years to come.

I wish Vijay TV would have avoided the out-dated short interviews of celebrities and asking them same old question of "which movie you like " and "which movie you would remake" ..
Idhula Ramya asked Simbu "what do you feel about this event as Kamal is celebrating 50 yrs while you are on the 25th year"

I havent seen his speech yet but I am gonna today, thanks to techsatish. I always found Vivek to be a bit of sarcastic when it comes to Kamal.. I still remember his kavidhai in a tamil daily..
"avar mootha kalaignar, sila nerangalil mutha kalaignarum kooda "
Was there any sarcasm in his speech today or rather the other day ? I hope not !

Prabhu Deva dance happened earlier IIRC. They edited it to show it in today's episode.

[UPO premier paakka pogumbodhu Rajini's hug to Thalaivar should be noted]
Rajini and all others, eppadi thaan 5+ hours porumaya okkaandhaangalo! Engalukkavadhu sips irundhuchu, VIP table la only juice (thalaivare sonna madhiri). Vijay TV indha izhu izhuppaanunga nu yevanukku theriyum

but very uncharacteristic. And i loved the way Thalaivar gestured to Raaja when PD was dancing for "Raaja kayya vecha adhu wrong-a ponadhilla"

Just now finished watching the second part through Net.. Excellent show..
Key Highlights that I noticed:
Less of Yugi sethu which was disappointing personally - not sure whether vijay tv has edited this
Rajini was all excited watching Prabhu Deva dance.. He was at the edge of seat at a single point of time and was seen giving a huge applause once the dance was over.. Lovely scenes
Kamal responded to the "flying kiss" from the dance family by accepting their kiss and saving it inside his coat - wonderful scene again
For some reason, I felt Prabhu Deva was given special attention by both Kamal and Rajini - maybe they know him since his childhood and have seen his growth.
Rajini's comment on his 7/8 takes on Endhiran and reminding Shankar to get off Kamal was timely to praise Kamal. Shankar w/ Prakashraj also enjoyed it.
Kamal again proved his presence of mind by saying "idhuku munnaal irundha thalai muraiyli engalai ponru oru nanbargal irundhirukiraargala" The challenge is on, but noone would be there to break this in the future.
Kamal's kiss on Rajini: True reaction from Kamal and he was a bit shy to see Rajini's eyes after the kiss - I noticed.
Overall a great show and the pressure is on the entertainment media to praise all the future legends as it is a wonderful kick start to recognize the true legends' efforts.

You know why he said that? Because he is getting old, and is not a spiritual/religious person. in fact, he didn't have to make that rationalism/Atheism point at all, (not that I am complaining :P ), but he stressed that he doesn't go to Himalayas for spiritualism/peace, but that it comes from "love" showered on him. It was heartfelt.

I agree, Bala. I loved the programme.
He started off well by answering many of the queries. 'I feel comfortable with women. பல பெண்கள் உள்ள வீட்ல தான் நான் வளர்ன்திருக்கென் '- That was the reply to Radhika/Urvasi's comment on his comfort level with heroines. After Rajini's speech, when he asked 'எவன் இப்பிடி பெசுவான்?', I could see from his gaze that he meant it. His comparison of Parliament's shape and colour to a 'Pachchai Kenaru' is something new - அரசியலில் குதிக்கிறது என்கிற termukku oru pudhu vilakkam

Celebrities get overwhelmed when they are praised by others. But this humble man felt bad for the superstars on the dais who had to spend an evening, listening to every other person speak about one man

.
Its just that I expected the 'அகராதி' would avoid deviating to his favourite topic - 'Pagutharivu' and talk more on Cinema, or anything else about him .

when we start talking about him, we are also bound to talk about his views on pagutharivu, thamizh arivu, political arivu, social arivu etc. Thats what makes him a complete man and this show a complete show
From the way he spoke, there are going to be a lot of social and political messages in his forthcoming movies which he was using as pickle in some of his previous movies.

Unlike world cinema, Indian cinema expects Hero to perform acting, dancing, action and comedy. So heroes even though, they are not good at some of them, they have been forced to perform others with one of few exceptions like Naseerudin shah. Kamal said once that Naseeruddin shah could have learnt dancing but he did not. That is true and I have never seen him running around the trees with heroines. Naseerudin Shah had understood his restrictions and stayed away from it. But Kamal may not have born with all the capabilites but attained close to perfection in all of them. The proof is, the experts at each field praised Kamal (Vivek, Arjun, Prabhudeva and many in acting). Kamal may not be the best ever in Indian cinema from each field but easily one of the greatest ever in each field according experts from each field. That really makes him as the most complete hero in Indian cinema. But his skills are beyond that which include expertise in all most all other facets of cinema. Many north indian magazines attacked him using his personal life because that is the only fault they could find, even though it is absolutely irrelevant when you measure his skills in cinema. If somebody attacks his personal life then it is a sheer jealousy. Will there be any other Kamal? Yes if somebody is willing to put as much hard work as Kamal did. Again it is very unlikely.

Tridev, adhukku munnAdi, Hero Hiralal(though to be fair, it tried to be a spoof). I dont know the names of some other movies - have seen on TV - mukyama kaliyuga pandavulungara typical telugu potboiler-oda hindi remake. I think he has done a hilarious(unintentional) movie with Pallavi Joshi as heroine. idhula he feigns first night activity to hide a surangam he is digging right in the middle of the villain's den - the adipodis of the villain respectfully leave him to do the 'private business'

Katha - sai paranjpe, a delightful filmmaker.
Malayalam theriyala - but in tamil, twice remade. Vidyasagar's first movie with janagaraj in farooque sheikh role - was it ilagina manam or something like that.
Later, with pandiyarajan, karan and snageetha(rasika, then)
There was also a telugu version with abbas and vinit in the aftermath of prema desam's success.

i think thats not entirely right......Tridev was a blockbuster IIRC.........even Mohra and Lahoo ke do rang were blockbusters for him.........its just that he is not entirely arty guy as it is perceived.....only difference is he withdrew quite early from these unlike kamal.......to be fair to kamal, N.shah was nowhere near a super*, whereas kamal was/is a super*.......
kamal > N.SHah is quite acceptable IMO.......kamal, mohanlal is a more interesting competition

Hello guys
I never compared Naseerudin shah with Kamal . I just said Naseerudin is avoiding his weaknesses by careful choosing the roles. Here always people think me as a kamal basher. If at all if there was a comparsion between two, it was to prove Kamal's completeness and nothing else.

The scene where the girl's parents tell Naseer that they are planning to ask Farooq Shaik's hand in marriage to Deepti Naval, his reaction will be excellent.

I have heard strong(loud) arguments as to who is the "better actor" among the 3 might be .Very good body of work ... Each one of them could very well be argued to be the greatest actor Indian film industry has produced.. although ML and KH more allround than MT .
MH for instance,stunning here :

but very underwhelming a few scenes as well where somehow avaru nadikkara illayannu keen a note panna than therium , andha alavukku underplay pannuvaru..

This comparison is really interesting as most malayALees are quite proud about theirs being the toughest language and any other language they can handle easily while non-malayALees will struggle with theirs etc.

Yes the film is "MukundEttA! Sumithra ViLikkunnu...". That scene goes against the run of play in a largely comic movie and Lal absolutely kills in that scene. I might even venture as far as to say the ensemble cast in the Malayalam version (Nedumudi, Jagathi, Kuthiravattom Pappoo...) are better than the original, which I have only seen in parts.

multitasking, acting-in-other-language skills argument e MH ukku illainu assume pannikkanga, on that plank I dont see any argument from MH side.. But Mamooty has national award for Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in English . tamil layum avaru nalla nadichirukkaru. Typically struggled unnu eppadi solringa ? The star that KH is, it offers him more oppurtunities in other languages as well..Also KH typically uses SPB for telugu and has accent issues in Hindi .. not quite a runaway winner even in non-mother tongue cases IMHO

I didn't mean 'acting' part, only the language part. IMSO, Mammootty struggled with his Thamizh in every movie that I've seen (mounam sammadham, dhaLapathi for e.g.)
OTOH, Kamal is as good as a local in his Malayalam movies that I've seen. (Can't comment about his command in Telugu / Kannada / Hindi but he had given some huge hits / critically acclaimed movies there as a solo hero whereas M & M don't have any record).
Can't comment about Dr Ambedkar as nobody other than award committee has seen the movie and most of us know awards are not a great indicator of performance in the Indian context.

'mugunthEttA sumithra viLikkunnu' thoroughly enjoyable movie. The water queue, 'thirunelvEli muththukkrishnan' etc are hilarious. And ML-Ranjini make a nice combo. Chithram is much more hilarious, IMO - I get into splits just by remembering the repeat of 'kazhudha' by Nedumudi Venu

I will say this since I lived in delhi for quite a few years and I know hindi also reasonably well. Northies did have problem with Kamal's Hindi accent. But their tolerance level when it comes to south indian heroes is really very low. They were okay with south indian actresses though. I can say this when compared with other heroes in south, Kamal had better accent. Maybe his mimicry ability helped him there.

Interestingly, in the previous generation, most stars were comfy with tamil apart from mother tongue. People like banumathi could claim proficiency in multiple languages - precisely for that reason, I am skeptical of language skills as a acting measure.

Agree ..I thought that was the comparision.. Naseer um periya filmmaker illaye..
I have heard strong(loud) arguments as to who is the "better actor" among the 3 might be .Very good body of work ... Each one of them could very well be argued to be the greatest actor Indian film industry has produced.. although ML and KH more allround than MT .
MH for instance,stunning here :
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/114275...l_at_his_best/
but very underwhelming a few scenes as well where somehow avaru nadikkara illayannu keen a note panna than therium , andha alavukku underplay pannuvaru..
Director of this movie forgot to say 'Cut' after a take as he got emotional seeing Lal's performance !

I didn't mean 'acting' part, only the language part. IMSO, Mammootty struggled with his Thamizh in every movie that I've seen (mounam sammadham, dhaLapathi for e.g.)
OTOH, Kamal is as good as a local in his Malayalam movies that I've seen. (Can't comment about his command in Telugu / Kannada / Hindi but he had given some huge hits / critically acclaimed movies there as a solo hero whereas M & M don't have any record).
Can't comment about Dr Ambedkar as nobody other than award committee has seen the movie and most of us know awards are not a great indicator of performance in the Indian context.
ok dhalapathi,azhagan ,mounam sammadham naan nalla nadichirundharnu nenatchen, neenga struggle pannirkarnu solringa .. maybe we see it differently.. but Mumbai express hindi la patha sila hindi kaarargal tamil vaasam adhigama irukku avar pesaradhile nu sonnanga.. Cant comment on Ambedhkar movie, but the fact that he was recognized and feted lends some credence ,avalo thanga..As I said he dubs telugu.. kannada/malayalam are good arguments .. Arguably again,not quite the runaway winner but surely better than the rest.
I felt Maru malarchi was a good performance

I have heard many proper Tamilians ("proper" - I mean born and brought up in TN) complaining about Kamal's Tamil accent and crib they cant understand. But though I never grew up in TN I think Kamal has the best Tamil among all the actors (or one of the best)

Its a big joke comparing mammooty and mohanlal with Kamal
OK, I dont watch Malayalam films, but from their Tamil films, I have very low opinion of their acting skills. Let it be Azhagan, Kandukonden Kandukonde or Iruvar, UPO.
Has there been any film of theirs where they acted in the lead and have been successful in the TFI?

Mammootty's "Kili pechu kelka vaa" ad "Maru malarchi" were single hero hits.
Their success can never be cmpared to Kamal's succes in Malayalam though.
And.... Both the Ms can be compared to Kamal the actor. But let us not digress much

இணையத்தளத்தின் உதவியால் விஜய் தொலைக்காட்சியின் கமல் ஐம்பதாண்டு நிறைவு விழாவை இரு நாட்களாக கண்டுகளித்தேன்.
மனதில் பட்டது.
1) பேசியவர்களில் மனதில் முதலிடம் பிடித்தது கே.விஸ்வநாத். இந்த வயதிலும் அப்படியொரு நிதானம் அவரது பேச்சில். உண்மையிலேயே இந்த நூற்றாண்டின் ஈடு இணையில்லாத இயக்குனரில் அவரும் ஒருவர். கடைசியில் அவர் சமஸ்கிருதத்தில் சில வார்த்தைகள் சொல்லியபோது என் கண்களில் நீர்த்திவலைகள்.
2) நாத விநோதங்கள் பாடலுக்கு நாட்டியமாடிய ஷோபனா அசத்தல். ஆளுமையை பறைசாற்றியிருக்கிறார். அசத்தல்.
3) பிரபுதேவாவின் நடனம் கண்கொள்ளா காட்சி. இதுபோல அவர் ஆடுவதற்கு படத்திலும் வாய்ப்பு வருவதில்லை. அதை இந்த வாய்ப்பில் சரி செய்துவிட்டார். வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் இந்த தொடர் நடன அசைவுகளை வேண்டும்போதெல்லாம் கண்டு மகிழலாம்.
4) வழக்கம் போல ராஜா.. என்னமோ உலகக் கவித்தவமான பாடல் வரிகள் தனக்கும் வரும் என்ற நினைப்பில் பாடுகிறேன் பேர்வழி என உளறி.. அய்யா..உங்களுக்கு ஏன் இந்த வேண்டாத வேலையெல்லாம்.. உங்கள் இசையில் கமலுக்காக எப்பேற்பட்ட பாடல்கள் எல்லாம் இசையமைத்திருக்கிறீர்கள்..அதிலே ஏதாவது ஒன்றைப் பாடிவிட்டு போனால் குறைந்தா போய்விடுவீர்கள்!
5) ஸ்ருதியின் கதம்பப் பாடல்கள். நல்ல குரல்வளம்.
6) விவேக்கின் நகைச்சுவை சரவெடி..
7) ராதிகா, ஊர்வசி, மம்முட்டி, மோகன்லால், ரஜினி இவர்களின் இயல்பான வாழ்த்துரைகள்.
8) ஒரே படத்தில் நடித்த நிரோஷா விழாவிற்கு வந்ததையெல்லாம் நினைத்துப் பார்க்கும்போது ஏன் மனோரமா, வைரமுத்து, பாரதிராஜா, நாசர் போன்ற முக்கிய மனிதர்கள் வரவில்லை எனத் தெரியல? கமல் ரசிகர்கள் என அடிக்கடி பேசும் இந்த அமீர், சசி, பாலா கூட்டணிகளையும் காணவில்லை.
9) முடிவாக கமலின் உரை. பகுத்தறிவு, அரசியல் பற்றியெல்லாம் பேசவேண்டிய அவசியமே இல்லை. நாங்கள் பகுத்தறிவுவாதிகள் எனப் கமல் பீற்றிக்கொள்ள அது தகுந்த இடமே கிடையாது. அது என்ன பெரியாரது பாசறையா? அப்படியெல்லாம் பேச. வந்திருக்கும் கலைஞர்களில் பெரும்பாலான மக்கள் ஆத்திகர் எனத் தெரிகிறது. மருந்துக்குக் கூட சத்யராஜ், மணிவண்ணன், வீரமணி வகையறாக்கள் தென்படவில்லை. எத்தனை முறைதான் நான் அரசியலுக்கு வரமாட்டேன் என இன்னும் பேசுவார் எனத் தெரியவில்லை. அப்பாடா சாமி, கேட்டு கேட்டு அலுத்துவிட்டது. ஆனால் அவரது பழக்க தோஷம் அவரை விடவில்லை போலும்... ஆர்.சி.சக்தி, பாலச்சந்தர், அனந்து, நாகேஷ், எழுத்தாளர் சுஜாதா போன்ற சக கலைஞர்களை பற்றி குறிப்பிட்டிருக்கலாம். அப்படி பேசியிருந்தால் கமலின் ஐம்பதாண்டு நிறைவு விழாவிற்கு முழு அர்த்தம் தந்தாக தோன்றியிருக்கும்.

நடிப்பு என்ற தளத்தில் கமலை மம்முட்டி, மோகன்லாலுடன் ஒப்பிடாமல் வேறு யாரோடு ஒப்பிடுவது? இதுல மம்முட்டி தனது பங்கிற்கு மூன்று தேசிய விருதுகள் வைத்திருக்கிறார்.
கதாநாயக நட்சத்திர அந்தஸ்து உள்ள மனிதர்கள் இவர்கள் என்பதையே முதற்காரணமாக வைத்துக்கொள்ளலாம்.

Mammootty is probably closer to NT's style than anyone else.(Sachin close to bradman-ngara maadhiri, not in the distance sense). Nov, you"ll surely like him in his mallu movies - infact, one can see murali srinivas's posts on his mallu films in various threds to see that nt fans are very likely to love mammotty.
Mohanlal is the tough animal - it took a lot of getting used to his style for me before I could properly appreciate him.

I've seen bunch of them here and there since I was a kid and love them both, maybe more leaning towards Mohanlal. Their approach is different than Kamal's so its like comparing orange with apple and pear, but fruit nevertheless. :P

mammutty and mohanlal are natural actors so their similar performance done by kamal is comparable. the conclusion is all 3 are great performers
Venki, you are right. Periya speech ellaam prepare pannittu valarai enru kamal sonna justification was NOT enuf. The whole function was a bit disappointed. Ithai vida nalla\equally good speeches are there in the daily dosage of the Kamal-50 which was telecasted daily. Only big exception was Rajini. Kamal, as an artist had touched so many social issues, so why ONLY just cinema people for such a grand finale? People from all walks of life, even an AIDS patient, an enuch, a dwarf(real life) and personalities in other departments could have spoken. Oru dance(PD) and kavithai(Vivek) is NOT AT ALL sufficient.

And I think Vikki is there in both Kamal and Rajini Orkut and he might know the *truth*. Enakku avvalavaa theriyaadhu, I could be wrong too. I don't frequent orkut communities that much. But Yahoo group is *usually* very good.

wow, the last few posts make me nostalgic of my orkut UHKH comm days, for a moment, i even thought of joining back in the Orkut UHKH community
I voluntarily unjoined from the community because of personal beliefs and sentiments. quite a few guys there, in their early twenties, feel that 'being an atheist is cool' and think that 'guys who believe in religion are duffers'

. these guys are basically atheists for the sake of convenience rather than for the sake of ideology. 'இருவர்' படத்துல வர்ற மாதிரி வீட்டுல அப்பன் காசுல சாப்பிட்டுட்டு வெளில வந்து நாத்திகம் பேசுறாங்க. 'நாத்திகம் பேசுவதற்கு குறைந்த பட்ச வயது முப்பது'ன்னு யாராவது சட்டம் போட்டா தேவலை.

joe அண்ணா,
இப்படி சுத்தி வளைச்சு கேக்காம நேரடியாவே 'உன் வயசு என்ன?' ன்னு கேட்டிருக்கலாம்.

இன்னும் சில மாதங்களில் முப்பத்தி ஒன்று ஆகிவிடும். அப்புறம் எனக்கு என்ன ஆட்சேபனை?

Rin – Ulaganayagan Kamal Aimbathu – celebrations of Kamal Haasan’s 50 glorious years in cinema creates history on Vijay TV
MUMBAI: The month-long festivities conducted by Vijay TV in lieu with the completion of 50 years of Padmashree Dr. Kamal Haasan in Indian cinema culminated in a fitting finale. The grand event attended by the biggest names of South Indian Cinema was aired as a two part series on October 12th and 13th on the channel.
As part of the festivities, Vijay TV had plied a customized bus titled “Kamal Express” which traversed across the state featuring a photo exhibition of some of Kamal Haasan’s rare photographs. A literary event talking about Kamal Haasan’s passion for the Tamil language and a musical nite featuring two legends SP Balasubramanyam and Chitra performing Kamal’s greatest love songs were also featured.
The event was both an emotional and memorable one as the two big names of Tamil Cinema ‘Ulaganayagan’ Kamal Haasan and ‘Super star’ Rajinikanth were seated side by side revealing to the world that they are indeed best of friends. The presence of the other stalwarts of South Indian cinema like Mohanlal, Mamooty, Venkatesh, AR Rahman and Ilayaraja only added to the glitterati. The event was much awaited for both among his millions of fans and the industry.
The channel aired the property on October 12th and 13th on primetime breaking away from the regular schedule was witnessed by over 60 lakh people across the country. Vijay TV garnered a channel share of 40% in Chennai among the female audience overtaking the market leader in that time band (source: TAM; CS F 15+ABC, Chennai, Wk 42 Mon-Tue 1900-2300hrs). Vijay TV’s GRPs jumped to a whopping 346 GRPs from last week’s 193 in Tamilnadu (source: TAM, Trends by date; 30 min daypart, CS ABC 4+, Tamilnadu, All day). The event touched a peak TVR of 22.6 in Chennai (among females).
K. Sriram, General manager – Vijay TV says “This was easily one of the biggest events were witnessed in South India; and I am extremely proud of my team which had put together a show of this Magnitude in a very short span of time. And of course a special thanks to Mr. Kamal Haasan who was inspiration enough for us to deliver such an event . We had planned to schedule this event on a weekday breaking away from our regular schedule and it surely has worked” .

OK, this is the background..

A day out with Kamal, 50 years back
This photo was taken with Padmashree Dr. Kamal Haasan when he had arrived at our company`s (VKS sweets and biscuits, Usilai) advertisement release at Usilampatti. My father V.K.S. Guruswamy Nadar produced an advertisement (which is now uploaded in your site "http://www.videos.behindwoods.com/videos-q1-09/actor-actress-events/kamal-50-years-ad.html"

which was enacted by Dr. Kamal Haasan and Mrs. Sandhya (mother of former Chief Minister Ms. J Jayalalitha) with AVM Meyyapa Chettiar at their studios.
The advertisement had hit the screens even before the release of his first movie Kalathur Kannama and Dr.Kamal Haasan was invited for the first screening of the advertisement to our place. He performed both the advertisement and some scenes of Veerapandia Kattbomman live on stage. There he was gifted with a silver Natraja idol by my father. I was accompanying him the whole day of his visit. This picture is a remembrance of it. I am privileged and happy to remind about his very first acting venture in his 50th year celebration.
V.K.S. Manoharan,

Not sure if this was posted earlier in this thread. But this is a 3 month old article written by national award winning film critic, Bharadwaj Rangan, right after KH completed 50 years in cinema.
http://www.desipundit.com/baradwajra...h-of-the-cool/
REBIRTH OF THE COOL?
Fifty years into an endlessly fascinating career, here’s a wish (no, make that a pipe dream) that Kamal Hassan would go back to having fun, being cool.
AUG 23, 2009 – IN THE YEARS I WAS GROWING UP in a balmy nook of Madras – ensconced in an ethos that was part-Peter, part-Pattabhiraman – Kamal Hassan was, quite simply, one of the coolest people on the planet. (At the time, of course, the actor was adored by the mononym of Kamalahasan. The modification in the moniker occurred during the release of Vikram, his lavish Bond fantasia, perhaps owing to his attempts to simultaneously straddle the worlds of Tamil and Hindi cinema. He was trying, in other words, to be part-Pattabhiraman, part-Parminder.) Kamal was cool not because he could act well – as a kid or a young teen, it wasn’t exactly the Method-inflected thesping skills that reached out and grabbed me by the collar of my printed-polyester shirts. He was cool because he embodied an imported-from-the-West panache that few Tamil stars had before him, few Tamil stars possess even today.
An older generation would swear by the devil-may-care swagger that a Sivaji Ganesan brought to his chain-smoking while crooning Yaar andha nilavu in Shanti, with the graceful shrug of the shoulders that drew the arms close to the torso, and with the attendant gesture of the upturned limp wrist, suggesting the futility of fighting fate – but the deliberations behind these mannerisms never held much appeal for me. When, years afterwards, I stumbled into these artifacts of yesteryear cool (primarily through the graces of Oliyum Oliyum), there was always a fourth-wall-shattering distance – the affectations weren’t organic. They needed to be viewed by squinting through a mist of nostalgia and indulgence. The great actor may well have been attempting to mimic an American college-goer from the mid-century, employing exclamations such as “swell” and “rad” and “golly gee” – it just wasn’t our times, it just wasn’t us.
Kamal, on the other hand, wore his “Peter” credentials as if they were encoded in his DNA – and he reached out to the cool-craving parts of us the way the Hollywood heroes of the time did. The coolness came from the way he spoke English – with a where-did-that-accent-come-from question left lingering in the air (something he genially spoofed in Thoongathey Thambi Thoongathey, when the bumpkin brother launches into garbled guttural explosions in order to mimic the Westernised cadences of his sophisticated twin). It was in the way he swiveled towards the camera – towards us, with that check-me-out glint in the eye – in the one-one-two-two-three-three-four-four preface to the Kaamanukku Kaaman dance item from Uruvangal Maaralaam. It was in the ‘fro he wore while twisting his astoundingly flexible pelvis to the strains of Solla solla enna perumai in Ellaam Inba Mayam.
It was in the way he made the camera a stylish accessory around the neck when he sobered up as a documentarian in Aval Appadithaan. It was in the silver headband and the Age-of-Aquarius medallion that dangled over an open-chested cardigan while an enraptured audience nodded to Engeyum eppodhum in Ninaithaale Inikkum. And it was in the ovoid sunglasses that framed his twinkling eyes – amused and self-aware as any Lothario’s – while he took an impossibly demure Sridevi out on dates in Sigappu Rojakkal. Has any earlier film depicted, with such anthropological acuity, the wooing-wining-dining mechanics of an honest-to-goodness date, with the candlelight dinners and the making-out-during-a-movie? (Never mind that the “making out” here was merely the grazing of his lips on her outstretched palm – the point is that this handsome devil in the red baseball cap was so exotically dude-ish that Sridevi, with that sari-pallu draped carefully over her shoulder, appears to stand in for all of conservative Tamil cinema up to that juncture.)
That’s the Kamal I recall as I read fawning fan-boy tributes (of which, you’ve no doubt realised, this is unabashedly one) about his completing a half-century in the movies – the Kamal who was cool way before cool came to Tamil cinema. In some sense, he seems to have been around for much longer than fifty years, perhaps because every stage of his life has unfolded in front of the cameras, as if his existence were preserved for posterity in a time-lapse – the precocious (but never precious) child; the reed-thin, whiny-voiced adolescent; the bell-bottomed Kaadhal Ilavarasan (The Crown Prince of Romance, as he was nicknamed), and the adult (and increasingly, sometimes frustratingly, ambitious) actor-writer-filmmaker. And if I appear to have dwelt on a relatively frivolous aspect of the man who’s given us a Mahanadhi and a Hey Ram and a Virumaandi, it’s because it’s that Kamal, the cheerful cool-cat Kamal, that I miss the most.
I miss the Kamal who didn’t try, the Kamal who just effortlessly was – the photographer from Tik Tik Tik who couldn’t believe his luck that these bikinied beauties were splayed out in front of him, the tenderhearted pickpocket from Savaal who blossomed under the maternal gaze of the Burmese Fagin played by Manorama, the tufted villager from Sakalakalavallavan who migrated to the city and bought himself a pair of shiny pants and drove his bike through a wall of glass during New Year celebrations. The goodness or the badness of these films is irrelevant – and besides, the test of a true star is how good he is in bad films. Kamal made these outings fun, intentionally or otherwise. Kamal’s films, those days, felt like the summer vacations – while today, they’ve come to feel like annual examinations. (We practically end up making a checklist before entering the theatre: paper, pencil, sharpener, thinking cap…)
Before you brandish your pitchforks and come charging at me for overlooking the inevitability that an actor cannot play in his fifties what he did in his twenties and thirties, this isn’t a plea for Kamal to go back to making a Savaal or a Thoongathey Thambi Thoongathey or a Vikram. (And truth be told, I’m not making a plea for anything, actually.) This is simply an attempt to contrast the lighthearted Westernisation of his early years with the more solemn Westernisation I see in Kamal today, which is no longer in the surface details of his person, but has percolated down to his core, to his preference for prestige projects and the meticulousness of his Hollywood-model scripts and the elaborateness of his boundary-pushing conceits. And in the process, there are times I wonder if he hasn’t forgotten how to just go out there in front of the camera and have himself some fun (and radiate back to us some of the enjoyment he’s experiencing).
It’s not that I mind sitting down for these examinations (though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel an iota of dread as they approach) – it’s just that I miss the vacations. I wish Kamal would transform into a cheerful actor-for-hire like Amitabh Bachchan today, who’s having the time of his career playing ghosts and pedophiles and gangsters and cheeky bit-parts. I’d like to see Kamal size himself down to the amusingly earnest director he guest-starred as in Manakanakku. I’d like to see him surrender to younger filmmakers who’d surely salivate at the prospect of creating vehicles worthy of the cinema-lover whose shadow they’ve grown up worshipping. Rather than wait a couple of years and watch him in ten latex-lathered parts, I’d like to see him in ten different roles in ten different films during the course of a year. He’s done enough for Tamil cinema. I’d like to see him shrug off that responsibility. I’d like to see him back where he began – as, quite simply, one of the coolest people, if not on the planet, at least on the Tamil screen.

A very underwhelming article that, from a fine writer who, however, doesn't hold a candle to our P_Rs and equas and complis as a film critic. His prose tends to add gloss to his reputation but to be honest, even in the other AS post, one could see the commenter zero making much more insightful observations than the article itself, which barely touched the greatness of the movie.
He is not in this forum so maybe it is unfair of me to criticise but then kamal/rajni etc are not here,too, and we do treat them as fair game so I guess it should be fine

Karthik and Suresh are definitely not a patch on Brangan as a music reviewer. Its not just about "opinions" we are dealing with here, surely.... Being a music critic is NOT the same as *writing* about the music we listen to.

It's very strange you say that, Maddy. I think he consciously avoids sensationalizing his critiques, so much so that at times I wish he had made some of his valuable interventions (about some films) more forcefully!
And in any case, he's one of the few critics whose reviews I find illuminating, and I'm a fan.

Agree. I'm a fan, too. I think precisely that avoidance of strong expression of opinion on duds dilutes his critique. Also, in one of his comments, he responded along the lines of "if I actually professionally reviewed tamil films, then I will have the same approach I bring to Hindi films and balance out the criticism with the positives and since I'm not, I tend to pick one aspect of the tamil films I see and just harp on them". I have a problem with that balancing out approach. ("If I actually reviewed your film, then I'll 'respect' that you are a filmmaker, even if you are Suneel Darshan, and approach it sanely."). Something along the lines of Sivaji respecting his directors - he thinks it is professional of him to 'respect' any filmmaker. Very rarely does he let himself go and express a strong opinion on the duds.

Analysis is equally tough like criticism esp when u r talking abt works of rahman, IR...............to be honest, i read a couple of Brangan's reviews only plus couple of "nauseating" articles on thalaivar.......a person who attributes external factors to a genius - i really doubt his ability to appreciate good music at all.......
also i really feel a lot of objectivity in karthik's writing than rangan......vijayr is nowhere to be seen nowadays

Kamal Haasan: a life on screen
by Baradwaj Rangan | November 30th, 2009
Editor’s Note: It was necessary for the 500th post to be special. For that, we have a truly special author, National Awardee Baradwaj Rangan! Thanx for his co-operation and to Qalandar who helped make it happen!
And on the occasion, gratitude is due to all those helped us reach this stage and readers who have been supportive and patient.
Fifty years. That’s five decades. There are people who don’t live that long – so it’s entirely understandable, this extraordinary (bordering, at times, on the excessive) hysteria enveloping us as Kamal Haasan celebrates his mammoth milestone. After so many years, with so many movies and so many memories, it would seem the easiest of things to compose an ode to his achievements – but it’s the opposite actually.
Where do you begin? What do you pick? Do you, for instance, write about him as a young god of romance, about how he single-handedly changed the way the hero goes about the business of courting the heroine? Or do you regard these facets as mere frivolities and begin to delve into the acting dimension, about how he represents the perfect middle point between the completely externalised melodramatics of a Sivaji Ganesan and the completely internalised Methodisms of a Naseeruddin Shah, giving just enough of a “performance” to make even the most unsophisticated audience member tune in, but without alienating the sophisticates?
The time-honoured rules of writing endorse a trajectory of the outside to the inside, from the general to the particular – but why not, instead, employ a particular to illustrate the general? Why not talk about the one film that brings to my mind all that’s special about this sakalakalavallavan? In that vein, I opted for Aboorva Sagotharargal, simply because the film is Kamal’s single greatest achievement. (It’s also, coincidentally, twenty years since the film’s release in 1989, which possibly warrants a commemoration of its own.)
In pure cinematic terms, the film is a stupendous success. It’s easily the best screenplay he’s ever written. (Thevar Magan comes close, but there’s the shadow of The Godfather that looms large over it. Perhaps, like the Oscars, I could say that Aboorva Sagotharargal is Kamal’s Best Original Screenplay, and Thevar Magan is his Best Adapted Screenplay.) If the success of a film lies in how well it ends up doing what it sets out to do, Aboorva Sagotharargal is Kamal Haasan’s finest hour as actor-screenwriter-producer.
It wants to be a crackling masala entertainer, in the grand tradition of Tamil cinema’s escapist entertainment, and it becomes this through inspired riffs on some of the most cherished of masala-movie tropes. The hero playing multiple roles (with a moustache, and without), the twin brothers who are separated at childbirth and eventually reunited, the son who avenges a father’s murder, the brothers on opposite sides of the law, the heroine being the daughter of a villain – it’s all here, alongside affectionate homages (intended or otherwise) to images from older masala cinema, like the duet staged around a stationary car that echoes the staging of Pesuvadhu kiliya in Panathottam, or the kadi joke where Appu anoints himself Ulagam Suttrum Vaaliban while perched on a globe.
And if you want to get all meta on the film, you could note that it captures the quintessence of the many facets of Kamal Haasan – the actor who can play roguish Madras-Tamil-speaking lover boys in his sleep, the actor who would go on to increasingly hack away at his handsomeness through makeup-enhanced grotesquerie (though here, he merely hacks away half his legs), the star who’d grow excessively fond of playing multiple characters (one being the regular hero, the other representing the “unusual,” the film’s USP) the writer who’s never happy unless submerging himself in subversion (what is it if not at least slightly subversive that the adorable, kid-friendly Appu, whom we first see clowning around on a toy train, is ever-so-gradually transformed into a freakish homicidal maniac?), and the producer who’s never afraid to put his money where his mouth is (how hypocritical would it have been if Kamal had merely spouted off about quality cinema without actually bothering to invest in it?).
There are far too many thoughts swimming around in my head when it comes to Aboorva Sagotharargal – they’d warrant a collegiate thesis instead of a casually commemorative blog post – so I’ll focus on the one aspect of this remarkable film that never fails to amaze me: the character (and the characterisation) of the dwarf Appu.
I suppose I should be politically correct and say “little person,” but that phrase doesn’t carry the pejorative weight that “dwarf” does. And Appu is a dwarf in practically every sense of the world – not just because everyone’s taller than him, but also because a “normal life” (love, a respectable career) remains frustratingly out of his reach. And it’s not till the Unnai nenachen song sequence that we see how truly the world at large – or to put it another way, the “larger” world – has imprisoned him. In a succession of shots, we see Appu inside the motorcycle cage, inside the lions’ cage, and finally, inside the worst prison of all, the clown mask, forever doomed to laughing through tears.
The tragicomic travails of a clown aren’t new to the cultural scenario, whether as far back as Leoncavallo’s opera Pagliacci or as recently as Raj Kapoor’s Mera Naam Joker, but there’s an unusually demonic perspective to Appu. Rejected by the girl he loves, ridiculed by the mother he worships, he pours his heart out in that song, and at the end, when he flings the mask away, it lands on the branch of a nearby tree and dangles by its strap. That’s when we witness Appu’s transformation from benign to bedeviled, thanks to the morbidly crazed gleam in Kamal’s eyes, the spectral lighting of the scene, and the chilling sound effects that Ilayaraja provides in the background.
Appu attempts suicide, but his mother intervenes and tells him the whole story, and you see a fiendish resolve descend upon him as he decides to become executioner. (He later mocks the hapless lawyer played by Jaishankar, “Idhu high court illa… my court.”) There’s finally a purpose to Appu’s life. He’s now a man possessed, and the grand conceit of the film is that he dispatches the villains through means that are as freakish, as “abnormal” as he is – the double-edged stunt gun, the funhouse rig that conceals an arrow, and his animal friends from the circus. (You can imagine Kamal murmuring while stooped over his screenplay draft, “Feed him to the lions.”)
This sense of the freakish, the macabre, is the aspect that elevates Aboorva Sagotharargal from being just another masala movie (though it’s a testament to Kamal’s intelligence and skills that he suffuses the film with so much “traditional” entertainment that these Grand Guignol excursions in no way impede the enjoyment of the causal viewer). At first, it appeared to me that Kamal stumbled upon playing a dwarf simply because he pretended to be one in Punnagai Mannan, and he must have seen the gimmicky potential in a full-fledged extrapolation of such a character – but Appu is no mere gimmick. This dwarf is one the many, many reasons Kamal Haasan towers over much of what passes under the guise of Tamil cinema.

Anyway, did you read his review on JTYJN - adhukkappuram dhAn I got an interest in listening to that album and I'm thankful to him for that. I think you might have missed his wonderful reviews on Rahman albums by him.(Mangal Pandey, Water, Rang De Basanti...)
Also, he did a Rahman retrospective in 2006(I think). adhellAM padichuttu appuramA nIngaLE enna feel pandrIngannu sollunga.

Baradwaj Rangan is a much bigger Kamal fan than I am even though I have had arguments with him on certain aspects of his articles on Kamal which tend to give the opposite impression to him and his blog followers. Someone who still can watch kamanukku kaman and solla solla enna perumai with paternal pride, and "I told you he is cool" unembarassed demeanour is a huge Kamal fan. nAnlAM MMKR-kappuram 'proven' bandwagonla Erinavan. ivangallAm(incl the likes of Bala Karthik) are people who identified his genius even when he was doing dud movies(dud according to me)
To me he is the best movie-and-filmmusic related critic in India. It is just that his nice guy tendencies affect his output,a nd I do feel that his idea of professionalism is taking away a bit of edge from him.

Much as it looks like that, Bala, that is not true. He is a bonafide Raja fan more than anything else, and it is just that he is much more objective than us Raja fanatics(

) and can approach Rahman much more objectively.

Baradwaj is one of the most objective critics I have seen when it comes to Rahman/Raja, in that he reflects his own opinion - he doesnt have an agenda like, for instance, "lot of Raja fanatics in HUB;just to spite them, I'll say bad of Raja" which makes that person, though a Raja fan himself, say opinions on Raja he doesnt really mean but just to spite fans, he says that. Baradwaj never has an agenda in any of his articles - he says it as he feels - if anything, he is lenient and avoids saying something if he has a negative opinion.

I think what Maddy suspects is that these people are faking appreciation for Rahman to get an "objective critic" status and then will use it to say that "I like Rahman but Raja is the best" which then kind of devalues Rahman because by then such people will have credibility. Correct-A Maddy?

Nov,
Mannikkanum, it is a time/place thing perhaps. I did not grow up with his music (appo naamellam grew up with Mozart/Thayagaraja va nu kekkapdaadhu). Of course i enjoy his music but with Raaja and Rahman, its different. Again, even in my generation there might be people who might believe MSV is the greatest but enakku andha alavukku "oorala".

Liking and the degree is spontaneous (of course influenced by our conditioning etc) and we are just trying to attribute reasons for that.
I don't have to be born in that era to know his greatness, of course and i pretty much said so. Its just that i can't relate to his music as much as i relate to Raaja's/Rahman's music or rock music of the 70s, with which i didn;t grow up either!

Do you believe he was implying Rahman was just plain lucky and he wasn't being truthful in the subsequent 'clarifying' article?

well, firstly, it was unneccessary to rake up that angle.......i felt he was attributing entire "crossover" success of rahman on "technological advancements" as if technology was sanctioned only to Rahman by Late.Narasimha Rao in 90s........

Sorry, but we never got this impression after reading the article. In one of his comments, he said he was just putting some perspective to ARR's success. I don't know how to take that either.

yes, it is a possibility, u r a standing (maybe sitting now) example ......but adhu problem-e illa - i wouldnt be surprised if he writes a article on IR and attributes some unneccessary external factors to his success as well......avarukku kambi pudikkaama bus-la pona dhaan great pola.....
Maddy, this is way off the mark. He wasnt attributing external factors to Rahman's oscar there - he was placing him on the same pedestal as IR and MSV. In his, and many people's opinion, if they had been in the right place at right time, MSV and IR are also deserving of Oscar. This hardly makes him anti-Rahman

In one of his comments, he said he was just putting some perspective to ARR's success
This just is meant to say that there have been people who could have done it before - and he could have meant only people like IR, MSV - if they had the opportunity.
Thats all conjecture- but a lot of people will agree with him if he means that the Oscar doesnt place Rahman ABOVE IR and MSV. If your definition of a Rahman fan is one who will definitively say that "Rahman is greater than IR and MSV or any one else in IFM history", then, yes, a lot of us, including Baradwaj, arent Rahman fans. If not, I dont see an issue

im not bringing "who is rahman fan" angle here at all......and im not saying Brangan wrote all these because he is a IR fan........and im also not saying ARR is better than IR or MSV post Feb23rd,2009........no, thats not the point at all......it is about how he wrongly attributes technology and other external factors like globalisation for rahman's success but doesent care to explain that "globalisation=more competition" and only the best can win..........moving oscars away for a moment, he attributes the very existence/greatness of rahman on "recording style" .....
even if he writes something abt IR like this, i would lodge my protest (not with same intensity ofcourse) because i dont care who writes but they better write right abt genuis of such order.....

Ok, you will have to quote relevant passages for me to refute. But I dont think he is saying globalisation is the reason for Rahman's success, rather globalisation is also a reason for Rahman's Oscar. Still, the fact remains he beat all competition from Uzbekistan, Tanzania etc, agreed. But without globalisation the reach of his tamil and hindi music will not be that big to fetch him a chance for Bombay dreams, never mind a hollywood project. This is all he is saying, IMO.

This is again the “right place” aspect, and where “right time” comes in is that there is a national/international media that lovingly follows his work, whether film or non-film. How many today would have heard of “How To Name It”? Now think, how many WOULDN’T have heard of “Vande Mataram” or “Connections”? All of this isn’t just plain, dumb “luck,” as you put it.

Really this is the most expository comment I remember Baradwaj making:

I meant that only ARR could have (probably) got these global recognitions, because only his is a global sound. As I’ve mentioned in this article, he is the first composer from the “global Tamil” generation.
To take a vague correlation, there was a reason Dylan and Baez spoke to so many of the sixties’ generation. They were speaking in the language of the times — and youngsters of that generation would not have responded so instinctively to, say, Charlie Parker or Maria Callas. But that said, you cannot say one is “better” than the other, because they’re so completely different in their approaches to music.
So you are absolutely right when you say “there is a Pan-indian/ Global feel to AR’s music that makes it easier for his music to cross,” and I’ve said the EXACT same thing in my piece: “rooted yet not specifically so, Indian yet not alienatingly so”
And I don't think the point he is making is salient in terms of popularity vis-a-vis style. The Flecktones, Branford Marsalis and Radiohead still continue to make great music but very rarely do they win grammies (even with all the classifications like best country music album that was released day before yesterday...).
Not enough people listen or could have listened to IR or MSV for their sounds (and make no mistake they are distinct sounds) to have reached the global stage. He even says that their sounds may not BE conducive to a global audience. A little leniency in his favor is in order.[/tscii]

It’s not a “full” string-section sound, in that it’s been tempered (tampered?), using technology. And it adds a fantastic, out-of-nowhere (unexpected) texture to the number.
We are seeing now the creation of music using these “bits and pieces,” these technological building blocks — as opposed to earlier, where the entire composition was envisioned in advance. IMO, they are two completely different ways of creating music and you cannot even begin to compare them. (Of course, you could say you prefer one over the other. That would be your personal taste.)
Where your Semmangudi analogy holds true (somewhat) is in that listeners of Carnatic music would concentrate on, as you put it, the musical ideas (i.e. manodharmam and so forth) and not mind, for instance, that 90% of the songs are in aadi taalam. A lot of MSV’s and Raja’s songs were dismissed outright because they had “the same old beats.”
But again, not everyone wants to delve deep into musical ideas. Sometimes, it’s nice (especially in light music, i.e. film music) if a composition has both an attractive surface as well as depth, so those who want something to listen to while driving, say, get something from the song, just as those who want to take the song apart piece-by-piece and analyse it. And this is not the case with just MSV or Raja. Even with Rahman, his music finds more acceptance when it offers a little bit of everything to everyone. I think, for instance, that he did fantastic work in his stark, no-frills soundtrack for Water, but how many people talk about it and listen to it today?

indha 'depth' nu sollalaam, soul num sollalaam nu nenaikkaren, unless he meant something different from what i'm perceiving.
In fact, he went further and said "that is not the case with MSV or IR" which is being unfair IMO (to IR for sure). I don't think he meant it to come across the way i've understood it (akin to what Sri Vidhya says about Appu for Anand!)[/tscii]

Maddy, several times here in this thread itself, now people have told that the comparision Rahman will invoke is with IR, MSV only. Yuvan, Shankar-lAM yaarum consider pandradhE illai

. Where did you get that impression? According to BR
a) Rahman's sound is the only one among Indian composers(IR, MSV etc) that could have broken through ever to the west
b) In the 60s and 70s and 80s it wouldnt have been possible to produce this sound even if someone had the wherewithal to think of a 'global' sound that the west will actually like
As Bala says, this is a goal against IR and MSV, something that I didnt notice before

No, Maddy. It is the other way around. What he is saying is that while nearly all of Rahman's songs have the surface attraction, most of them have depth, too - only a few like Earth stand out because they have "only depth". Believe me, that is exactly what that paragraph means.

Read it like this:
1. A lot of MSV’s and Raja’s songs were dismissed outright because they had “the same old beats.”
2. But again, not everyone wants to delve deep into musical ideas. Sometimes, it’s nice (especially in light music, i.e. film music) if a composition has both an attractive surface as well as depth,
3. And this is not the case with just MSV or Raja. Even with Rahman, his music finds more acceptance when it offers a little bit of everything to everyone.
4.I think, for instance, that he did fantastic work in his stark, no-frills soundtrack for Water, but how many people talk about it and listen to it today
So, relate 1 to 3. Everything in between is explanatory note to 1. 4 is explanatory note to 2
So,
1.A lot of MSV’s and Raja’s songs were dismissed outright because they had “the same old beats.”
2. And this is not the case with just MSV or Raja. Even with Rahman, his music finds more acceptance when it offers a little bit of everything to everyone.
adhaVadhum just like some people dismiss MSV and Raja's songs which otherwise are rich with musical ideas but old beats - adhavadhu nothing for the surface crowd to take home - similarly, when Rahman did water which only had musical depth but nothing on the surface for the casual listener, it met the same fate as the MSV and Raja songs we were talking about in (1)
This is how I interpreted it

What he is saying is nullifying our claim that "Even IR/MSV would have got Oscar if they had the right opportunity and right place and time". He is saying that in addition, they would have needed to adapt their sound to please a global audience - it is not just a matter of getting exposure. Which is probably true - and I was just kidding about we having a bone of cotnention - it still doesnt take away anything from IR's and MSV's greatness - it is just about the practicality of the thing, that by nature, Rahman's sound fits in a global sensibility while IR's and MSV's dont. Now, given that even north indies has problems fully 'getting' IR, one has to ponder at the significance of that observation and probably accept it.

No it was a hour-long composition performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Sir John Scott. Composing a symphony is usually referred to as the pinnacle of a composer's career. Never got released due to thalaivar not being happy with critic comments.

Yes. Two things here - background score and original song.
I'm not sure how globally accessible his songs would have been, his score is a different beast IMO. IR's score ellam kondusellappadavendiyavai.
I don't know about MSV though in this situation. Original songs-nu eduthukitta would the sound be global and accessible enough? I don't think so. Plus, I don't think his background score would be anywhere in contention.

Yes, Bala, I wasnt talking about BGM at all. The only way he'll get a BGM Oscar, though, is if he scores for a hollywood movie, right? How does he get that chance? Ans: If his sound gets exposure? How does it get exposed? Ans: either some indian movie should take the imagination fo the world(a la life is beautiful) and IR's score in it should be breathtaking or his songs make a huge impact
Neither looks feasible - Baradwaj is categorically ruling out the songs part. avLO dhAn.

To me he is the best movie-and-filmmusic related critic in India. It is just that his nice guy tendencies affect his output,a nd I do feel that his idea of professionalism is taking away a bit of edge from him.
I don't know much about Bhardwaj Rangan since I haven't read his articles other than knowing that he is a national award winning critic. But I could relate to his below note on Kamal. Being a fan of Kamal since good old days of Avargal/16 V/Illamai Oonjal Aadugiradhu/Maro Charithra etc. the below wish from Rangan rings a bell for me. I too wish Kamal goes back to his good old days, leave the task of screen writing, direction etc. to folks and simply play it *cool*. We all know it's impossible but it's just a fan boy fantasy. I loved where he played it cool in simpler/average movies like Thenali, VV, UPO etc. where the work was already done by others and he just have to "cool it off" (so to speak) on the screen. Agreed these movies are nowhere close to the league of, let's say a Mahanadhi, Hey Ram or Virumandi. But what the heck? I can still live with a "cool" Kamal performance on a flawed/average movie versus a painstaking effort on a strenuous movie. I'm sure lot of "converted" Kamal fans during the 90's (MMKR/Guna days) might disagree.

I’d like to see him surrender to younger filmmakers who’d surely salivate at the prospect of creating vehicles worthy of the cinema-lover whose shadow they’ve grown up worshipping. Rather than wait a couple of years and watch him in ten latex-lathered parts, I’d like to see him in ten different roles in ten different films during the course of a year. He’s done enough for Tamil cinema. I’d like to see him shrug off that responsibility. I’d like to see him back where he began – as, quite simply, one of the coolest people, if not on the planet, at least on the Tamil screen.

Hello...
I Agree with the previous 2 posts of MC and Rangan. I can't seem to understand Kamal's fixation for big budget films, it is these big budgets which have been pushing him back, there is always trouble in these with no end in sight (Marma, Kamal - Mysskin). I wish he just works with promising directors and do a movie with his natural performance capabilties. With the way he is showing up in functions, i don't think he is doing any serious writing either.

Nov,
The discussion was specifically about Oscars. Oscar kedacha romba sandhosham dhaan, perumai dhaan but it does not mean it the fact that they didn't get one can be held against an MSV or IR. So, i hope you know what the context of the discussion was. It is not so much about quality as it is about a "global" sound and our opinions on how accessible it would be to a wide global audience (or American audience in this case) (quality is common, let us say, we are talking about the differentiator here)
Oscars are given for best original score and best original song.
Original Song: As for songs, the point is not the quality of the song but whether they 'sound global' (which does not mean that MSV/IR songs dont have global influences). Its just that a Rahman song would be more accessible to them than an IR or an MSV song.
Original Score: Tell me one background score of MSV which is worthy of comparison with IR/Rahman.

One more note on the topic(?):
When we say 'global', etc, a balance that has to be achieved is because if its just 'their' sound, what's the big deal? Its a mix of 'us' and 'them'. It should click with them and that's where Rahman has been successful. Idhayum Brangan imply panniyirundhaaru.

Irene,
I suggest you to read my posts again. There is no contradiction in my posts, it is just that you have misunderstood the posts
1. I place IR/Rahman above MSV - that is a reflection of my preference and not an objective judgment on MSV's greatness.
2. Probably, it may be due to the fact that i did not grow up with his music. Adhavadhu, i belong to the next generation (78 born). This is not the same as saying "Naan MSV music avvalava kettadhilla".
That is why i had given the examples of Mozart and Thyagaraja. Sometimes, we relate to art that has preceded our generation, sometimes we don't.
3. 'Global' sound, accessibility is not the same as using western instruments, genres, compositional techiques etc...
All 3 have used different genres, instruments etc etc. That's pretty basic and we all understand that. So, there's no need for you to try to "prove" the obvious.
The point of discussion (spawned from Bharadwaj Rangan's blog) is Rahman was always going to be the most likely to get global recognition and acceptance of his music. Enough has been clearly discussed about this. The globalization, media, a kind of bridging of the North South divide were catalysts for Rahman (and in a way, it suited his style of music more than MSV or IR)
4. About Oscars, the posts are self-explanatory though you seem to have interpreted it differently

Mr.Bala
Pls read your 1 & 2 and repeat what you intend to express here
If you had not heard MSV's compositions, how can you pass a judgement . Is it not a prejudice ? Just to strenghthen my points, I have given links for some western songs of MSV/ TKR & some MSV's . If they are not attributable to global music, then I am sorry , I will withdraw my comments.
Sad that our HIndustani music is not being recognised globally. Else, MSV/TKR would have got global award for Karnan
IMO, there are atleast 25 top class movies of MSV ( TKR ) which distinctly qualify for global recognition.
Thats why Rahman himself acknowledged ( during that felicitation function ) that MSV / IR had given better music than ARR himself and they were better qualified.
I feel that ARR was fortunate in a way to get a Hollywood movie to compose and it so happened that the movie itself got accredited with awards and ARR's music became part of it. ARR had given many more better music than Slumdog.
Again, now a days, we dont see songs in English movies to the extent we have in Indian movies. This also would have ensured ARR's recognition for SD.
You need not have to grow along with a genre of music to acknowledge the previous or unheard music. Even now you can listen and pass a clear analysis.

This is not the same as saying "Naan MSV music avvalava kettadhilla"
Did it ever occur to you that though i may not have grown up with his music, i might have heard many songs of his later in life right? Is that so difficult to understand???
Grow up with his music = Listening to his music IN HIS TIME.

Ok. If you had done it later, then I will withdraw my comments if you still have your views. I do respect it as each individual has his own preference and likes.
Infact, we are just restricting our zone of analysis to tfm only. There were greats like Naushad, SB Burman / RDB etc who have given some out of the world music

NOV, naan sonnA, nInga bhojanam kedaikkAdhumbinga. irundhAlum solradhu en kadamai - balavum naanum we were merely quoting Brangan's opinion that Rahman's is the most globally acceptable. Thinking about it, it might be true-nu sonnOm. You have to recognise that in saying so, we are conceding that even our idol IR's sound is not as global as Rahman's. So, where is the problem?
Again, Bala has clearly explained what he meant by globally acceptable. Do you think he means that MSV didnt do enough in global genres? Because by default, given the conversation, that way Bala will be implicating IR also? Do you think he is doing that?
If you have issues with Bala's preference for Rahman/IR, OTOH, there is nothing I can say. It is his preference, avLO dhAnE? There are people who say Rahman-MSV are great but IR isnt, and there are the ones who recognise IR-MSV but not Rahman. idhu mUNAvadhu type. Whats the problem with this?

Of the top of my head: avaLukkenna, azhagiya mugam from Server Sundaram. Interlude ellAm indernational-A irukkumE.
Or is it only deemed international by "us" and not truly global. i.e. even if had been widely heard by 'others' it wouldn't have struck as big a note - no pun intended - as slumdock.

infact the comedy is "liquid dance" and "latika theme" from SDM are more indian than the MSV songs u quoted.........on subsequent thinking, i find raaja more western than rahman.......IMO, being global doesent always mean "western"

Nov,
One thing i noticed is that you often don't bother replying to specific questions and just opt out of the whole argument by saying something as generic as this (which isn't saying much) and sometimes, in the process being judgmental.
Even after us bothering to explain in detail, you are just stone walling. Which is fine (nothing much left to say actually) but it means you are the one who has taken it emotionally - "From now on i will view your posts with suspicion", "spare us" etc. You have formed an impression that i should spare you my bullcrap or whatever on MSV and holding on to it for dear life no matter what was actually posted and explained.
Anyway, hopefully we'll stop this. Next digression please..

Joe,
The discussion is not about this.
Its just about "Who had/has the better chance of winning an Oscar (global acceptance etc)". Note: Oscar jeichaa dhaan paruppu-num solla varla. Ivvalavu dhaan. Idhukku mela theliva eppadi solradhu nu therila.
How do we say so? - Just our useless opinions based on what we have listened to, based on how Rahman's music has reached and has been accepted by a Pan Indian audience and now, an increasingly global audience.
How it would have played out had all these factors (globalization, briding of divided, internet, exposure of our youth to cinemporary western music etc) been available to MSV and Raaja also?

Joe, look at it like this - a Michael Jackson is accessible to youth across the world. (80's youthnu vENA sollikOnga). Or Beatles-nu vechukOnga. Popular music-ai follow pandravangaLukku, across continents, these are familiar and loved names. Rahman has a sound that can get him a similar response-ngaradhu engaLoda opinion. idhu MSV, IR-ta illaingaradhum opinion - we'll have to understand that IR's music typically is branded as "southie" by North Indies popular music following folks in general. This accessibility is what I am talking about. And we are proudly saying that inspite of this, IR or MSV arent lesser than Rahman.

Over and above this, Bala already clarified that this doesnt mean that Rahman=MJ or Rahman=Beatles. He also clarified that there is something unique Indian touch that Rahman brings - which means he has the Indian base that is exotica to an average western listener plus the familiar comfort zone sound that a western listener will look for, making a killer combination.
Think of it this way - someone who appreciates semi-classical(say Sindhu Bhairavi) might not have the inclination to hear hard core Carnatic music. This means that IR's carnatic classical effort is more accessible to a layman than Oothukadu Venkatasubbaiyer's.
Or say KVM's Shankarabharanam - personally, it is more accessible to me than pure hard core Carnatic music. This is what we are talking about here.

ARR managed to get oscar since he had opportunity to work in a Hollywood made movie .But he is getting the opportunity and other not getting ..is not ARR's fault ..avar yaarayum thadukkaliye
Oscar might be possible because of that English movie opportunity ,but for that he has achieved nationally ..That is also not his fault.
At the same time , I hope ARR fans also will agree that SDM is not even in ARR's top 5 works . That is also not ARR's fault
Bottom line is ..Oscar winning effort might not be world's best effort (even not best of the winner in that year) ,but best among those who got the opportunity and conditions

This is true of any award, Joe.
Even national award, let's say an album like KangaLAl Kaidhu Sei, with so much musically to speak of, goes along with an acclaimed bengali movie with wonderful music - for argument sake, let's say it falls short of KKS. Chances are that that bengali movie will walk away with the award still. Besides this there is commtitee politics.
(one rumour I heard: Vidyasagar's Swarabishekam apparently squared off against Yuvan's 7G(I think). Swarabishekam was an average effort, albeit classical based in a movie about classical musicians. Yet it walked away with the award. Apparently, a senior southern singer in the committee spoke strongly against Yuvan, and influenced the decision. I cant mention the name because he has an image of a polite, nice guy without any personal grouses or axes to grind with anyone. He had also criticised Yuvan earlier for his lack of attention to lyrics ,loud music, focus on hip hop etc. In short, that singer has always praised VS and expressed poor opinions of Yuvan. So, the rumour has some smoke surrounding it to believe in it -w hen it comes to the crunch, awards depend on such things too)
I am with that singer on his general criticism of Yuvan on the points he has raised but if it was a one off 7G vs Swarabhishekam, clearly, 7G is a superior product - and despite the fact that I myself prefer VS over Yuvan, in that competition I would have had to choose 7G. Also, this singer had sung in Swarabhishekam and is a close friend of KV.(idhukku pEraiyE solli irukkalAm

Bala, let me try one more time.
I have no issues on Rahman getting the Oscar; in fact I was one of the most excited and followed it live and reported it at this very Hub. It was definitely one of the proudest moments of my life.

I have to clarify I dont want to question his motives. For all we know, he might have genuinely liked Swarabishekam over 7G. I just quoted it to show winning an award depends on several random factors. This is equally true of IR's awards - I never tire of pointing out that Indian classical-based albums in good movies always have a better chance over albums excelling in other forms of music and also fitting in the corresponding movie's theme. All 3 of IR's awards were for classical-based scores - as much as IR excelled, their being classical must have had a huge role in getting that award. While this may sound like pulling down IR, which anyone who knows me would never suspect me of though, it is infact one of my grouses that even the 3 National awards dont actually recognise IR's genius. They just happened. To get it for a Agni N(though again grammy vs oscar debate might come here) or a Virumandi or a Hey Ram or a Moondram Pirai or a mudhal mariyadhai or above all, a GURU(Malayalam) would have been lot more satisfying

during the sangam days, people used to judge one's efficient work by placing his work on the temple tank water....if the work used to float on the temple water tank, then that work used to be considered as a great piece...
come on lets keep the works (compositions) of MSV, IR and ARR on the temple water tank and see whose is best....

Rahman's father, RK Sekar, was predominantly a Malayalam composer. I mean, he didnt get many breaks in Tamil but was a reasonably succesful Malayalam composer. Maybe, they are using that connection
I just quoted that as I remembered that for long, I have been curious to know more about RK Sekar's music. And this was a good connecting peg to place that question here

naa kooda solluven, Bangalore fans are the most loyal(B'lore is one of the forts) hence he is a kannadiga.........i think i sported that signature too for 10-12 days
Shekhar sir had worked on so many malayalam movies that they think he is a malayalee............there is a confusion that he composed some songs but others claim he didnt.......thalaivar himself said in one interview that he died on the day his first film released (kadavule illa moment) - so dont know his style.......but rahman has surely taken over shekhar sir's penchant for gadgets and investing back on music......

Nov, i believe i wrote in English and not Swahili.
These are the things i said in plain English about MSV
1. Genius (all 3 are geniuses)
2. Enjoy his songs
3. I don't place him above IR/ARR
4. Point 3 maybe because of not growing up with etc etc. (with the caveat that one need not necessarily grow with an artist to relate to it. In some cases, it matters, like the case of MSV's music, in some cases it doesn't)
5. In the BGM department, he is not a patch on IR and ARR. I stand by it
6. Without going into the quality of his songs i felt that his songs might not be globally as well received as Rahman's songs. I included IR songs here also (accessibility < Rahman's)

English versus Swahili again.
I said i place MSV below IR/ARR (see, you made me repeat it again) because of growing up blah blah... NOT that i
don't like MSV's music because of that. I couldn't relate to his music
as much as i could with IR/Rahman's music. Relatively speaking.

Again, did i say i don't like listening to 60's songs by MSV/KVM etc?
You keep repeating that you see what i write and not what i thought. You have seen something i didn't write at all!

One GK kostin (because 7G versus swarA was discussed) :
While evaluating the music for NA, do the judges simply watch the songs / BGM as presented in the movie or they watch the movie and then separately listen to the music on disc / get the lyric transcript / translations etc also?
If it's only by watching the on-screen version of music, I would have done the same as what SPB did (regardless of any prior bias)

Atrocious in the word for that movie!

To be honest, we want such open discussions about MSVs. The current generation is all soaked up with Raja and Rehman. But more often the
current generation forgets about MSV . My fav. song of MSV is "kallellam manicka " and I loved the aala from LRE. But adhugappuram it take sometime to really go into the other songs and love it.
Idhu madhiri discussions ellam paakumbodhu thaan we end up digging the old songs of MSV and start listening to them. Well, I have started

இன்று டிடி யில் பொன்விழா நாயகன் கமல் என்ற நிகழ்ச்சி பாரத்தேன். ஒவ்வொரு வெள்ளிகிழமை இரவு 9.30 வருகிறது, இன்னும் வரும்.
கே.பி, கமல், மெல்லிசை மன்னர், ஜெயப்ரதா ஆகியோர் பேசினார்கள்.
கே.பி, இது கமல் பற்றிய நிகழ்ச்சி என்பதால் கமல் பற்றி மட்டுமே பேசினார். ஆனால் கே.பியின் பாராட்டுக்கு பதில் சொல்லி கமல் பேசும்போது, ”எனக்கு”, “நான்” என்ற வார்த்தை வரவேண்டிய இடங்களில் எல்லாம் ”எங்களுக்கு” “நாங்கள்” என்ற சொல்லை தான் பயன்படுத்தினார். கமல் சொன்ன அந்த இன்னொருவர், சூப்பர்ஸ்டார்! உதாரணத்துக்கு ஒன்று - “எங்களுக்கு கற்றுகொடுக்கிறோம் என்ற உணர்வு கூட இல்லாத அளவு தன்னுடைய செயல்களில் மூழ்கிக்கிடப்பார். அவர், இன்று இரண்டு மிகப்பெரிய வர்த்தக மதிப்புடைய இரண்டு நாயகர்களை உருவாக்கியது கூட போகிரபோக்கில் செய்ததுதான்”
மெல்லிசை மன்னர் பேசும்போது” நாங்க/ல் ரெண்டு பேரும் சொம்ப நெருக்கமான நண்பர்கள், அப்போதெல்லாம், அவர் இசையமைப்பாளராகி விடுவாரோ என்ற பயம்(போட்டி?!?) எனக்கு எப்போதுமே எனக்குள் நிரந்தரமாக இருக்கும்” என்றார், அவர் பற்றி கமல் பேசும்போது “ எம்.எஸ். வி, அவர்கள், தான் எவ்வளவு பெரிய ஆள் என்பதே, நாங்கள் சொல்லிதான் அவருக்கும் தெரியும், அந்தளவுக்கு, அவர் தன் கடமையைப்பற்றி மட்டுமே யோசிப்பார். அவரின் இசை எனக்கு எந்தளவு பிடிக்குமோ அதே அளவு என் மகளுக்கும் பிடிக்கும், அவரின் திறமைக்கு இது மிகப்பெரிய சான்று”
(not a direct speech but this is the conceived point they made)
there is no doubt msv is one gem of music director. but, on a general note, IR's quantitative and qualitative talents just has no match, enbathu thaan en karuthu (of course with due credits to All other MD's b4 and after IR) at the same time, its natural to see some others of same generation liking MSV and ARR more than IR. its all choice. it seems surudhi falls into this category

yaar eppadiyoo i dont know, but atleast iam not like that.
i dont like many things abt IR, but all are about his character or behavioir. But iam clear not to confuse both, IR thappe pannirunthaalum, avar onnum electionla nikkalai, we sont need to care abt those things, all i look abt is his music.
at the same time, i have seen some ppl who are IR fanatics, blaming abt vairamuthu, at some threads in this hub. for me all that seemed crap. I like VM in cinema lyrics, as equal to IR in music.
on a concluding note, i wish to say, hub ALSO has more neutral to the core kind of ppl

The Padma Shri award winner made his debut as a child artiste in the Tamil movie Kalathur Kannamma at age four. The film, released in August 1959, fetched him the best child artist award. From an endearing child actor to a celebrated performer, the 55-year-old National Award winning actor has played diverse roles in over 200 films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
The festival was inaugurated by the Union Information and Broadcasting minister Ms. Ambika Soni and Kamal Haasan was the guest of honour.
Speaking at the inauguration, Kamal said: “I am not going to dwell on what has been done, but rather focus on what is to be done. Fortunately I came into the film world early… My parents told me to choose any profession. My father believed in me; he was my guru. The word 'guru' sounds strange and even anachronistic these days. But without his backing, I would not have been where I am today.”
Films to be screened:
>>>Hey Ram
>>>Anbe Sivam
>>>Virumaandy
>>>Thevar Magan
>>>Dasavatharam
>>>Nayagan
>>>Sagar Sangamam (Telugu)

The 'Ulaga Nayagan' was speaking at the inauguration of a three-day retrospective of his films, organised by the Directorate of Film Festivals at the Siri Fort Auditorium in New Delhi, to mark his 50 years in Indian cinema.
"I am not going to dwell on what has been done, but rather focus on what is to be done," the actor said at the function attended by Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni.
"This journey seems very short because I felt I had lot of time. I think I've been very lucky with my teachers or gurus. Literally, they've been my gurus; it's not about working under somebody hence calling him guru instead of your boss. They were gurus," he said.
In her address, Ambika Soni said, "Kamal Haasan as an artist over a period of time, balanced cinema with realism. His portrayal of different characters, created a pan India phenomenon, breaking the barriers of age groups, language and commercial interest.
Some of the character portrayals left a deep imprint across all generations. His multilingual cinematic versatility ensured a fan following reiterating his mass appeal and acceptance of his cinema as a unique artistic expression."
Acknowledging the contribution of Kamal Haasan to cinema, the Minister said each of the films being screened during the festival had a strong social message.
Films such as, 'Anbe Sivam, Virumaandi, Thevar Magan, Sagara Sangamam, Dasavatharam' and 'Nayagan' would be screened during the three day festival.

This year’s Onam week celebrations organised by the Department of Tourism will kick off with a function honouring Kamal Haasan on his completing 50 years in cinema.
Besides the State Government, various associations connected with the Malayalam film industry too will felicitate him at the inauguration of the Onam Week celebrations to be held at Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium on August 22.
A meeting to this effect was held on Thursday. Besides the formal function, the evening will feature cultural programmes, all celebrating Kamal Haasan’s multi-lingual cinematic versatility and the characters he played in films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
The actor, who has won 28 trophies for the best actor, including four National Awards, will be saluted by a medley of programmes, directed by film-maker T K Rajeev Kumar.
The meeting held on Thursday was attended by the Tourism Director, Tourism Secretary, V Sivankutty MLA, TK Rajeev Kumar and DTPC officials. There was another meeting attended by representatives of Film Exhibitors’ Association, Film Exhibitors’ Federation, Producers’ Association, FEFKA, Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce, South Indian Film Chamber and others.
These associations extended their full support to the event and evinced interest in honouring the actor. A meeting with representatives of AMMA has also been scheduled.
The Tourism Department officials are excited about the fact that the participation of maximum actors would be there against the backdrop of the support offered by all the associations.
Meanwhile, details about the two-hour cultural programme are being worked out.
The event is expected to have six segments, starting with a salutation. A symphony composed by musician Balabhaskar (which will have lyrics by Vairamuthu), dance presentation by Shobhana, a skit dedicated to the cinematic journey of Kamal Hassan, a mega musical show to be led by SP Balasubramaniam and a percussion ensemble will be part of the event.
It is learnt that the programme would have the presence of veteran film-makers like K Sethumadhavan and K Balachander. If sources are to be believed, the State Government is trying its best to rope in some big names of the South Indian film industry, including Rajnikanth and Sridevi, in addition to the top names in the Malayalam film industry.
An attraction will be that after each segment, Kamal Haasan will be presented with an audio CD. Which means, the particular item will not be presented anywhere else.
