2. 'maasaru ponney varuga' showcasing the new thevar's wife's pregnancy, the script morphing that situation into the ambaal coming out of the temple in a 'ther' after a long time, both linked by the same song - 'maasatra penn' = Panchavarnam = the ambaal!! salute to the IR-Kamal combo!
3. how does IR manage to bring out the sense of foreboding in Kamal's scripts like this one & Mahanadhi ? the camera pans off from characters to scan the sky and the BGM kindof prepares one for something untoward abt to happen - the scenes leading to vadivelu losing his hand, or the canal sabotage are testimony to this! or in Mahanadhi, IR's 'amaanushya' BGM motif in the initial scenes when Haneefa meets him (cauvery as the backdrop!) gives off a sense of foreboding as well

Clarification: It wasn't my intention in the sankarlAl song post to show KHF's in a bad light (that they hate to take debit for disasters while only wanting credit for creative inputs) ; it was just a casual remark on the wiki article's frivolous claim. Neither do I remember posting any in this thread to malign KHF's of a 'parisu kidaiththAl enakku - udhai kidaiththAl unakku' attitude!
App, I only posted that Sankarlal and that too to show that KH too had did ghost direction like what SB and SSR did for Kamal films. Meaning, KH shost directed the rest of Sankarlal and there is no creative inputs from him, he cannot claim the movie is his. Likewise SB and SSR cannot claim those movies they worked with KH as director becos they are not writen by them.
Rest of the issues already addressed(like SSR helping kamal in enhancing the script, means, contributing some inputs, not creating the script)

Question - was there 'other-than-acting' inputs from Kamal for the two "BM-credited" movies?
If so, how much?
(BTW, the movies are moonRAm piRai 1982 & sathi leelAvathi 1995)
On related note, Kamal's lot of inputs r there in Punnagain Mannan Chaplin Mama Character.
Head back few pages in this thread, i posted a vid where kamal explains that he did lot of extra works both physical and creative(choreography) works in Ek tu Je keliye.
Maniratnam had couple of times said in interviews that in Naayagan, there very many of Kamal's creative inputs. Physical input - Kamal forced Delhi Ganesh and co-artists to undergo deep haircut to show age-off. Some of them were reluctant and to pacify them, kamal himself did the Navithan job for them!
The ManakkaNakku ling posted by P_R - the jokes, the way he talks walks speaks, all are so kamal'ish. Appdiye thaniyaa theriyum
This week Vikatan.
