One thing ppl shud note is, In interviews, when he talks about his failures, he never had spoken defending movies like Nammavar, Mumbai Express, MMA etc. I guess most of us like these movies in parts, athu vera vishayam
dakalti / dubagoor ellaam irukku no doubt abt that - however, while a 'virumandi', 'kurudhipunal', or a 'mahanadhi' is def worth an oscar look (those jail stunt scenes deleted - coz they are a ripoff of a stallone film!) - but sending 'indian' for oscar category nomination is hilarious ! plus Kamal's indulgences in suttufying Hollywood films guarantee that those suttufied plots would not pass muster anywhere outside India!
Stallone's Lock-up-A irukkkalam. Long time haven't seen it.
And the Yul Brynner hand-chop scene in The Ultimate Warrior. Oscar committee-la remba pazhaya manushangga ellam irukkAngga, avinggalukku terinjidum.

yes - you got it right - it is Lock up - Oscar committee are quite knowledgeable when it comes to their own films - even if they are not, an entire coterie of film critics such as Roger Ebert, Ty Burr and 100s of others are very very well-versed with american as well as european cinema ! so indha madhiri sagattumenikku hollywood padathhulerundhu suttuttu, adhaiye oscar committee kku anuppuchhaa, moonjila kari thaan minjum!
idhellaam kooda paravaallla - aanaa, sudaradhaiyum suttuttu, namma aalu appappo 'oscar enna oscar, some day naama oru award koduthu, adhukku aalywood padangalukku kudukkara nilamai varradhukku muyarchi seiyyanum' appdeennu saththaikkaraaru paarunga, anga thaan orey bramippaaa irukku! adikkaradhu copy, appuram enna varattu jambam ?!
andha padathhukkellaam titles podum podhu 'adapted from xyz film' apdeennu potrundha prachanai illai - aanaa avar sondha karpanai madhirilla kaamikkaraaru
aanaa, he now knows that with the internet and globalisation, all kinds of cinema are available for most film-goers - therefore, he is likely to be more careful in these matters!
@IRIR and Groucho
Nayagan was accepted by the american critics right? What about Tarantino's homages? Sergio leano remade kurawara isnt it? I dont think they will be that foolish to ignore what Kamal brought to the table in Mahanadhi just by those two scenes from whichever movies you were talking about...
I don't want to elaborately reply except for one thing. Just get down to TN roads and ask any stranger Public, WHat you like in kamal" get answer as deep/specific as possible. Surely they will be ready to answer in-depth becos it is for Kamal! whatever they list, surely, will be a trait / talent/event/act which he had achieved on his own only, and all these so called inspirations/copy will just remain as a small part of the hube work he had done adn none of them would feature in the like list of general public.
