Sindhanai Selvar Dr.Kamal HaasaR - favourite movies,scenes 2

எமக்கு அம்புட்டு தூரம் எல்லாம் எட்டலைங்க! ஆளை அழிக்கும், கண்ணீருக்கு காரணமாகக்கூடிய, ஒரு உயிர்க்கொல்லி ஆயுதத்தை கண்ணீர் துடைக்க பயன்படுத்தும் ஒரு அழகிய முரண் தான் எனக்கு பட்டது. மற்றபடி, காமன்மேன் என சொல்லிக்கிட்டாலும், ஈக்வா சொன்னாப்ல அவர் தீவிரவாதியை அழிக்கும் தீவிரவாதியாகவே தெரிகிறார். காமன் மேனின் பிரதிநிதி அவ்ளோதான். அதுகூட எல்லா காமன்மேன் களும் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளப்போவதில்லை

i strongly object to discussing kaai like "UPO" when we want to discuss more about the kanis like mahanadhi and hey raam.

He could not have missed the point/aesthetics of 'A Wednesday' more than that.
I was disappointed with the way he had even received the film, to have dropped the ball that badly.

Whats wrong with that scene? :roll: Natural reaction thaane..Are you expecting him to put his gun down and get a handkerchief? Kai-le iruntchi, so todhaicharu :) I myself have wiped tears using pens/rulers etc simply because i was holding it at that point of time :lol2:

The criminal charge is unnecessary possession of firearm

Kind of similar reason that makes some MR movies so "anniyam" to watch!

That was a phenomenal achievement - leaving aside the other merits of Hey Ram. Feeyar, idhukku EdhAvadhu cinema vasanam solli illustrate paNNunga

Plum/a_e, Mani Ratnam is in fact a good counter-example and to my mind definitely compares favourably (by miles) to Kamal's half-hearted but persistent attempts at Hindi cinema. Mani Ratnam when he sets out to make a Hindi film strives to make a proper, generic enough one. Kamal on the other hand casts himself as Jaiprakash Paswan in Chachi 420 and speaks awkward Hindi.

oh ok ok :)

equa - :shock:. nAn enna solREn - ninga enna solRINga? I was talking about Hey Ram vs Mani's hind films. There is no comparision to how Kamal got his milieu right for every single milieu he used in Hey Ram vs generic no man's lands of Mani in all his films - not just hindi but also anything that is not BEsant Nagar or West Mambalam, Mani gets it vaguely generic only.

Chachi 420 ellAm nAn considerE panDradihillai(Nor its tamil counterpart). They have a different purpose completely.

Having said that, Apisek's Gujarati businessman? He got it absolutely right is it? Anything in that movie? enna pEsaRinga nInga?

It is very difficult to bring the accent to 100%. Imagine north Indian actors speaking Tamil and good example is Ra One where SRK speaks Tamil. At least Kamal is better than most of them out there in adapting accent. It is all the restrictions of human being and it does not mean that you should not try anything different. He atleast tries better than anyone out there and pulls off better than most of them could.
