"Kamal - The Creator" has got a loooooooong way to catch up with "Kamal - The Actor"! The difference between the two is pretty simple: "Kamal - The Actor" is a genius! 8-) "Kamal - The Creator" is work in progress. :)

As an Aandavar fan, I would prefer him to act in movies directed by promising directors like Ameer or Cheran or Bala. I wish Aandavar leaves the burden of writing/directing to the "experts" and focus just full time on acting! After all, watching Aandavar act is like watching a genius a work! 8-)

avar dhaanga expert ! Hey ! Ram ezhuthurathukku aaL vENum.(Dasa ellAm oru aberration.) We will get interesting actors - but it is impossible to get writers like him.

Jaiganes, MY is a home production and he is directing it. Both such ventures in the past have resulted in interesting films.

:yes: KH as a writer is terrific! I have never seen scripts like Heyram and Virumandi in TF from anyone else. Just pick any scene from these movie, and follow the aftermath... you will run through the entire movie. Oru scene'a edutha sangili kotha madhiri ella scene'um adha follow pannum.. that is cohesiveness :thumbsup:

To an extent the same cohesiveness is present in 10A, but the reasons are different :cry:

Waiting for both of them to return to senses and get down to the basement level and see what the world is like actually.

I think we will be waiting for ever if he churns out movies for other banners and that too in multi-lingual. I believe a tamil movie by his home production will bring him back some sense, otherwise :huh:

I agree that movies like Hey Ram, Guna, Mahandhi are all class acts in terms of screen-play... But is that enough to say that he is the BEST writer? If Aandavar is a great wrtier/creator I would like him focus 100% on wrting/directing and make a movie with some other hero... Can Aandavar write/direct a movie just about kids like Anjali? Can Aandavar make sensitive love stories like Moondram Pirai or Idhayathai Thirudathey? Can Aandavar make a emotionally draining movie like "Udhiri Pookal" or "Mullum Malarum"? I'm not saying he can't... But unless he can handle such varied scripts/genre (without acting himself) but with some other artistes -it is unfair to say that he is the best writer, IMHO :)

Movie Cop, to the questions you raised the answers will have to come when Kamal gets into writing/direction full-time :-)
And given the mindblowing ones he has written thus far - which IMO justify my claim that he is the best we have ever had - there is sufficient promise that he can work across genres. I look forward to him taking up the role seriously, it's already quite late.

But I dont think KH shud write dialogues, atleast not without a co-writer. As a dialogue writer he has been inconsistent.. some dialogues in Dasa were witty and intelligent, some too intelligent for the sake of the scenes and some were ordinary. MX was the same, the writer at times becomes too visible in the dialogues, things that he tries and acheives or misses intrudes with movie watching experience.
