I don't think it was unintentional . After a point he got down to making funny caricatures -
Priyanka spraying bullets, goons bargaining percentages at gun-point etc :lol:
Umbrella innum paakkale
But if you notice the *lead-up*, *build-up*, character study (twins) etc in the second half, the climax seemed a little rushed and did not fit well with the rest of the film. I mean Guy Ritchie padathula indha character study/sentiment ellAm irukkaadhu, so ithis sort of climax works for his films :?
I agree Nerd. It was at odds, but I personally think Bharadwaj wanted the 'standoff', a stalemate after all the emotional turbulence, trade-off, collision, and cahoots over the course of the narrative. Maybe VB 'intentionally' smoked out with a bang. It presented an exploit, an opportunity for the filmmaker to tuck-in a long drawn cinematic set-piece, VB conceived a hazy and explosive denouement, but a lot of things happen, like slapstick humor in form of Priyanki shooting in the air, Bhope feigning death to shoot bengali brother, bargaining percentages, etc.
But you don't need any of that reading. Auteurs love to indulge in set-pieces all the time (apart from long shots, they flex their muscles and flash their technique in such shots). I felt that way about Virumandi jail sequence (there are not many sequences like that in Indian cinema), with belting IR bgm. Okay, it seems botched-up and sticks out like flaw in a narrative, but cinema allows such indulgence.
The magic and perfection is achieved when it is seamlessly infused. In this case, it did not. That's another reason why it is inferior to other VB's works.

- Bad. Good perf by Irrfan and earnest rendition by Neil Nitin Mukesh(far better than Ranbir kapoors or what have you, pity about his nontraditional looks, but it suits this role, Omar) Meedhi ellam rejected especially JohnAbrahaam and Katrinakaif.
Gulaal
- Cheers to Kay kay menon and Anurag's effort, but lot is made for the 'effect' and landscape(yes, there are characters, but I didn't care much for them, except maybe Kay Kay - maybe a dark comedy could be developed on this character), thus selling the film short. Piyush Mishra is irritant.
Kaminey - underwhelming. Maybe the hype did me in.

It is worth a mention here that SRK was initially offered the role that finally went to Anil Kapoor. Bombay Velvet, we hear, will be directed by Anurag Kashyap. This thriller, which is based in the 1940s, is expected to commence next year. The film has three parts. While the Boyle is keen on signing up SRK for the first part, the second part will have a newbie. And if all goes well, Aamir will be donning the greasepaint for the third part.

In an interview today, Bhagat Singh Kapoor calls Kaminey a comedy.

oh, is it produced by Danny Boyle then? it is in list of upcoming movies from Anurag and he had once said its his first high budget movie and is nervous about it...... :DQuote:

K_g, no I didnt mean it that way. BS_Kappoor seems to have meant it earnestly - as in Govinda saying nesstu film is out and out comedy. He was even lamenting the A certificate which means "young fans" of his cannot watch the movie!

And your claim that his performance/talend needs to be undervalued because he was just carrying out Bharadwajar's orders is pretty much like the "kambiyai pidikkaama varuvaar" argument you posted about in the Surya thread.
A few years back an English playwright Harold Pinter won the Nobel. He was notorioisly curt with his actors apparently. One guy came up and asked him what was the relevance/meaning of a paricular line/scene in the play and Pinter's response was: "mind your own business" :lol:
"mind your own business" - Appadi thaan irukkanum. I like it. Legendary playwright it seems, but not impressed by his screen adaptation of "Sleuth".
But Plum is right..lest we forget VB extracts the best out of his actors. Take his short film "Blood brothers", Siddarth's part is pretty much unmatched by his other roles and films. Like that.
Shaheed is not out-of-reach for Tamil actors like Bharath, Jeeva, and likes (not a big fan of Dhanush you see).
Edhukku indha "talented" noise? Too much I say. Should be used when deemed apt & necessary. Like when you're talking about 'talents' like Madhavan or Irrfan khan. :yessir:
Bharathar JWM remake-kku wait pannalaam. Thambi seyvaapla :oops: Kadhal ellAm Shahid-kku out of reach. VB, Mani saar, Kamal films ellAm rejetted while gauging an actie's talend.
Btw, why Bhagat Singh Kapoor?

Why because - after jwn remake releases, we should not conclude bs_k > bharathar.
But based on pattiyal and even koodal nagar, bharathar certainly has the ability to do kaminey. Bharadwajar kitta kodutha, bs-k vuda nallAvE varuvaar.
Bharathar is to be more pitied than censured that the way tamil filmdom is, he can't even dream of the opps that a less talented bs-k gets.
I see the merits of the kambiyE pudikkAma argument but suppose bharathar waits for kaminey like script, will he act in exactly even one more tamil movie? That us the answer to the kambi argument

You know that ofcourse, but I am not sure if people who smile at your posts do :-)
Besides, clearly, your candidate doesn't even know what he did.
Also, I was talking of potential and lack of opportunities w.r.t potential. Are you denying that bs has better opps to utilise his potential? And my point is despite poor understanding of what he actually was part of, still he has the opp to look like his script selectio in super compared to bharath. Clearly, himchoosing kaminey seems to be a luvky break because he thought he was acting in a comedy, imagine!
Huh, elevating such a guy as a example of superior talent in bollywood is laughable
