I'm still not sure, the post by Sunil_M88 just had the title and link to the video. :) Sunil_M88 himself may clarify if he meant to suggest more.Quote:

Kamal Haasan to release Vikram's audio
The audio launch of Prabhu Solomon's latest movie Kumki is to happen on July 26th at Sathyam Cinemas. The chief guest would be none other than Kamal Haasan who would be releasing the audio. Remember, Kumki is the launchpad of Prabhu's son Vikram Prabhu. Kamal Haasan enjoys a very close relationship with Prabhu's family thanks to his closeness to the late thespian Sivaji Ganesan. Kamal must have deemed it fit to come and wish the youngster as he gets ready for a long innings in the industry.
Kumki is produced by Lingusamy and the music is scored by Imman who had a successful re-entry with Prabhu Solomon's previous hit Mynaa.
k-g, Plum, enakku nijamAlE puriyala. Firstly, idhula Kamal enga vandhArunnu puriyala. Secondly, how can comments (whether they are criticisms or commendations) on a TV talk show by a film star be related to comments on the films (which are fiction, art) of another film star? yAru relate paNNa try paNNAlum, it doesn't make sense.
So why was it posted here?
It was posted as response to either of the bolded ones in SKV's post, I suppose. :lol2:Quote:

I've stopped reading longer posts, so I perhaps had missed it.

Still I'm not sure what part of that episode engages with P_R's post and in what context?
Hereafter I will post random links in random threads. People will have to make up context.

Gosh, what palaver have I created here?
The link wasn’t a response to anyone and it was just in line with other posts on the page not really related to ulaga nayagan. I didn’t think it would ignite such discussion as usually my posts are brushed aside. My bad, I should’ve posted it in the documentaries thread.
I’m not a follower of the show and I too have my reservations about the show and just like k-g’s outlookindia link, I read this WRT the first episode http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news...atyamev-Jayate
I rather watch the most ignored yet best film, Delhi 6 for hours on end as it covers majority of the social issues with MUCH more realism.
I actually heard the song at the end on a separate link and then found out the topic of the show, my mate had also requested me to watch.
Anyways, I’ll just stick to posts relating to music lol

American cinema’s most influential directors, Quentin Tarantino, director of movies like Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds, has admitted in a conversation with one of our own directors, Anurag Kashyap, that a whole sequence in one of his films is inspired by Kamal Haasan starrer, Abhay !
Wow!!!Quote:

Quentin Tarantino inspired by Abhay/Aalavandhaan
The Pulp Fiction director told Anurag Kashyap that he was inspired by an Indian movie with animated violence scenes
So far we’ve always thought of Indian cinema as being a derivative of its western counterparts.
So to hear that one of American cinema’s most influential directors, Quentin Tarantino, director of movies like Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds, has admitted in a conversation with one of our own directors, Anurag Kashyap, that a whole sequence in one of his films is inspired by an Indian film, came as a huge and a welcome surprise.
Apparently Tarantino admitted in a private conversation with Anurag that the celebrated animation-action sequence in Kill Bill was inspired from 2001 Hindi-Tamil film, Kamal Haasan starrer, Abhay.
Quentin Tarantino
When contacted, Kashyap says, “Yes, Sight and Sound critic Naman Ramchandran first told me this. So when I met Quentin in Venice I asked him whether the Manga sequence in Kill Bill was inspired from an Indian film and he excitedly remarked, ‘Yes, I saw this Indian serial-killer film which showed violence as animated.’”
Kashyap explains, “There is only one Indian serial-killer film which was made before Kill Bill where violence was animated, and that was Abhay.” Kamal Haasan, who starred in Abhay, has his own take on the compliment. “When I did the animation action sequence 12 years ago it was seen as self-indulgent and odd by a lot of people. Now that it has been endorsed by a filmmaker of such brilliance, critics will be kinder to some of the things I attempt in my films.”
It cannot be denied that haasar has inspiried scenes in his movies, known or unknown. But he as a film maker has come up with so many countless original gems. So this news item kind of comes as a slap on face on those who deny and criticize kamal without agreeing his original contributions and blindly saying that he is a "sophisticatedly" inspired guy, who take lot of things from hollywood. Especially ppl like KarunthEL kannaayiram
:bow:Hail the king of kings! :notworthy:
Wow!!! Great ya...:clap: :bow:
It's hardly an original idea though, is it? But from my own experience of films, it's the one to use it potently. Even the much acclaimed NBK that was rewritten from Tarantino's original draft had Stone and co. using animated sequences of 'superhero' cartoon and exaggerated violence. I know for a fact that QT dislikes and disowns NBK, and heard he hasn't sat through that film fully. And I'm pretty sure the animated bits weren't in his draft. I'd have no difficulty buying his own admittance of getting that idea from Alavandhaan/Abhay. Although this isn't really that influential, it's still heartening to know..
k-g, there is already an example haasar himself had said -> SippikkuL Muthu was the inpsiration for some hollywood film (forgot name) but now this one is a rare, unexpected, validated one. I remember our hub ppl saying this (abhay to KillBill) in this very forum. Its very heartening to know that now the director himself validated this. Namma ooru vayaadi critics vaayai mooda ithu romba helpful aa irukkum.
Also, though, this news item mostly may not be very helpful for Haasar's resume in hollywood, we will still talks like that, here :lol: again, only to those critics, poli-pandithargaL. Time to rise collar :D
Agree SKV, when KB was released, I remember saying this to my friends only to be ridiculed. Nice vindication.
leaving aside Tarantino's comment, Aalavanthaan did/does have its very original moments.
1. the macdonalds guy conversing with nandhu in his dream "mani enna aachhu ?" and the response "maniKKU enna aachhu" - cud mean anything - me-thinks: Nandhu's drug-induced state of mind = timelessness !
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZrp75KAuJc
watch from 1:46:17 onwards - at 1:46:29 Nandhu enters the bedroom of his childhood home and looks at the 'phantom cartoon' painting on the wall and immediately salutes it - its a very very brief gesture by nandhu but tells volumes of how is mind is all f*cked up and a part of cannot get out of its childhood memories! subtle and brilliant!
3. watch from 1:03:11 - at 1:04:09,
Nandhu getting the ecstasy/hallucinogen sniff and the snake tattoo on his shoulder muscle wriggles - my doctor friend in bangalore later told me that its a well-established fact in drug effects-related pharmacology: hallucinogens like LSD / ecstasy when taken as an injection, gives one the feeling of 'a snake wriggling' under the skin! so not only had Kamal did some background research, but used it in a very aesthetic way integrating it into the screenplay!
http://www.hanleycenter.org/programs...drug-facts.htm
btw, music by SEL was just so-so! imagine what IR wud have done for this film - a separate theme for Vijay, Nandhu, their parents, the second wife of their father and Raveena and a main theme as well !

Equally important, another point to note is, all these days, Kamal Haasan was/is being watched silently by some Hollyowood/International bigwigs!
Movies like Aalavanthan which failed commercially, are getting re-deemed becos of things like this!
Is Malai-Eli Dhaanu noting these things?!
skv - perhaps you can email/PM me - what exactly happened between Kamal and Dhanu ?
tomorrow if and when kamal becomes not just noticed but recognized by hollywood fraternity, every kuppan, suppan will try to rub shoulders with him as well as take credit for his earlier movies successes!
