OK, 90's :)
Yes he could have made it bigger than VJ & AJ , but his daddy spoilt it for him !
Another similar example is Karthick !

Mohan was a big hero - ONLY thanks to a little known man who resides in T Nagar, Chennai and works with a battered harmonium mostly in Prasad Studios, another little known man who is one of the best friends of the harmonium man who sang for Mohan's films, and another singer who donated his voice to Mohan who rarely spoke with his own voice in his films..
Aaga mothathula, Mohan ovarial ippadiyey kittathatta patthu varushamaa kaalatha ottinaar!
If you did the math - Mohan's films with music by the T Nagar composer sung by his friend, versus, Mohan's films without the two - you will see the difference..
Mohan's career in the 1980s with T Nagar musician ---> Potent box office blockbusters
Mohan's career beyond the 1980s without the T Nagar musician ---> pallu pudungina paambu kadhai thaan

maybe irir ji nkows this film.. there was another film frm promising filmmaker like rudrayah with no funds who also got his life launchpad wit aandavar.. film had no songs or any commercialism..same state as mullum malarum where film had issue to release.. kamal acted only 1 scene with lady actor whose career is made with same type of roles..that film ran 100 days due to kamal special appearance with cameo of kalyana raman getup getting big reception..there were posters on it promoted like kamal film..just like azhiyatha kolangal.. all 3 films mm, this n ak are late shoba films.. this film got hype as kaaka muttai today.
Yes Pasi.. another songless film...so all 70s 80s 90 2000s 2010s..kamal has a songless film..innovator who give new experience n life to cinema.... Pasi filmmaker is also close to kamal... kamal introduced and helped ppl like him, rudrayah, mahendran, rcsakthi...:notworthy:
that other actress is pasi sathya..thnx..very new songless experience to us.. we went for Aandavar..
Andha Naal ??? Joe anneh idhar dekho :)
Joe ji knows the point we r making.. :wave:
சில பேரு எதைப் பத்தி பேசுறோம்னு சரியா புரிஞ்சிக்காமலையே ரொம்பவே தம் கட்டுறாங்க.. ஆஹா ஆஹா! என்னே ஒரு கண்கொள்ளாக் காட்சி. கொஞ்சம் விட்டா மலையாள சாமி படங்களையும் வரிசைப் படுத்திச் சொல்வாங்க போல!
சொந்தக் காசில முதன் முதலா ஒரு குணச்சித்திர நடிகரை கதாநாயகனாக வெளிக்காட்டும் படம். காசுதான் ஒரே குறிக்கோள் என்றால் ராஜாவிடம் கடமைக் கண்ணியம் கட்டுப்பாடு படத்திற்கு எத்தனையோ பாடல்களை கேட்டு வாங்கியிருக்கமுடியும். ஆனால் பாடலே வைக்கமால் துணிந்து தயாரித்து லாபம் கண்டார் கமல். கொம்பினுள் பால் கறப்பதை என்றைக்கோ செய்து காட்டியவர். யாருகிட்ட? கொஞ்சம் தள்ளிப் போய் வெளாடுங்க!
It is not only about NOT having songs in a movie. When KH had songs, he had a whole lot of variety in them, like a King
Vikram.. Vikram.. , Saandhu pottu (TM) were some of the early tamil raps
Naatukkoru Sedhi solla.. a 9 minute song on veedhi naadagam
UttamaVillains.. Hiranyan Naadagam,
ManMadhanAmbu's .. Kannodu Kannai Kalandhal kavidhai
Most of the above were RKFI movies. These are just a sample.
Of course due credit to IR, SPB, Vaali, VM, other MDs.
When songs were just commercial elements, someone breaks it in his home productions, and sometimes even goes without it by choice, not by chance!!
Now tell us if we have any other actor / creator who qualifies for the above !!
Watched 2nd time! Enjoyed it more! Simple shots but adhula tension konduvandha vidham(without hari-like camera movements) is damn nice! Family too watched!they Liked it! Surprisingly my father( ardent kamal fan when he was young)said after kuruthipunal..kamals best action movie!
Kamal in 2015

Ulaganayagan in full form! And he is looking surprisingly young for his age 👍🏼👍🏼
UV budget will be 30 crores without his salary...PN 5 CR..TV 7 CR.....:lol:
Yes Ji I want to see him in action for atleast 10 years!!
தூங்காவனம் Superb Song after the Movie..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVN0...ature=youtu.be
Kamal.. as different father roles in Uthama Villan, Papanasam and Thoongavanam
http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/...psltplxlyl.jpg
overall.. loved the movie. he crossed all boundaries of acting. felt bit dragging post intervel but cant help it since everything happens in one night at one place. kitchen fight evens things..wow trisha
i felt 'undercover' status was unnecessary one
end song may be for mass appeal but didnot suit the overall mood of the movie.
i would give three star. :notworthy:
papanasam is the best..
uv..some scenes were really superb..the 7th century scenes didnt work me..otherwise would have been another good film
thongavanam..plain butter cake without any chocolate/cheese toppings..
பெங்களூரில் ஒரு வழியாக மழை நின்று விட்டது. படமும் பார்த்தாச்சு.
கமல் ரசிகர்களுக்கு பிடிக்கும்.மற்ற ரசிகர்களுக்கு எப்படி படம் எடுத்தாலும் படம் ஓடுதேனு பொறமையாக இருக்கும்.
இன்னும் 2 fight seans நச்சுனு இருந்து இருந்தால் படம் இன்னும் நல்லா இருந்து இருக்கும்.
படத்தில் மிகவும் பிடித்த காட்சி - ஒரு மைதா மாவுக்கு ஏன் 3 பேரும் இப்படி சண்டை போட்டுகுறாங்க என்ற காட்சி தான்.
As usual I differ with most kamal fans .
For me , Thoongavanam is too good , fully satisfied .
First half went like a jet.
Whatever it is all 3 movies was gems! Memorable and proud ones! Altho PP and TV are hits...UV had more layering in scenes! To me Thoongavanam like kamal ji decided to do a simple and neat film for the Telugu fans as he announced in Telugu first than decided to do a bilingual in Tamil! Adhaan it's considerably simpler than his previous scripts!
Papanasam trumped the other two movies easily in terms of entertainment quotient. That was one real nail biting, edge of the seat thriller. This is the movie that connected the vintage kamalhaasan with the average non-fan population who has known him for decades. The kind of reaction it got from the average cinegoers (not a young fan etc) is just phenomenal. It was like - 'kamala ipdi than pakanumnu aasapatom" reaction from all those middle aged working class and home makers.
Thoongaavanam - Very low budget, straight forward action movie. A good entertainer and made only to generate profit.

Needs to pick up. Even UV had more than this I think ..
I liked all 3 films.
I am not a big fan of too much layering. It's just myth building and dilutes the main core and can be distracting, especially to fans who have to now look for additional meaning in every place, even when it is not there. So a simple story is very welcome. But with Thoongavanam, the second half could have been dramatized a bit more to avoid the slightly dragging effect. It is not dragging but being within the same club means the viewer starts to think like that. May be, 1 or 2 more additional fight sequences, presenting things in a more stylized fashion would have elevated it...Perhaps, towards the end, Prakash Raj (or Trisha as a cop) could have cleared out the entire club (closed it early and asked everyone to leave) and played the cat and mouse in the empty club. At times, it feels like KH is trying too hard not to make it into a regular, run of the mill masala. A more experienced masala director with whom he has not worked before (say, like Vishnuvardhan might have worked better). Not taking anything away from Rajesh and his first film.
Monday morning quarterbacking!!
Papanasam படத்தோட இயக்குனர் வேற ஒரு நடிகர் கிட்ட இந்த கதைய சொன்னவுடனே, 'Boots காலால heroவ மிதிக்கற மாதிரி scenes இருக்கு - அதனால நம்ம rangeக்கு அந்த மாதிரி தரக்குறைவான காட்சி உள்ள படத்துல நடிச்சு நம்ம அந்தஸ்து குறைச்சுக்க வேணாம்னு பாக்கறேன்' அந்த மாதிரி சொல்ல, இயக்குனரோ விடாபிடியா scriptல ஒரு மாற்றமும் செய்ய மாட்டேன்னு சொல்லி தான், கமல் ஹாசன் கிட்ட போயி script சொன்னவுடனே, அவருக்கு, ரொம்ப பிடிச்சிருந்து - படமும் எடுத்து, 'டமால் டிமீல்' punch dialog/slow motion hero turning his head/அல்பத்கனமா 'டேய்' நு கத்திகிட்டு வர்ற scenes எதுவும் இல்லாம வெறும் performanceகாகவே வசூலில் பொளந்து கட்டிருசில்ல...
'16 வயதினிலே' வாகட்டும் - பாரதிராஜா சொன்ன கதைக்கு ஒரு மறுப்பு தெரிவிக்காம நடிச்சாரு, 'பாபநாசம்' ஆகட்டும் - அதே spirit, அதே passion - அதே Box office and critical reception!
கமல், கமல் தான்!
Who is that actor. Never heard of this
Guys I am watching the Movie today. As usual did not get into too much into reviews from any quarters.
Going with less expectations and an ardent kamalian. That's all.
will shower praises and noteworthy details later today.
Three movies this year in itself is great treat !!!!
Long live this great soul and actor par excellence.
Bala
Are you pretending you did not hear about this??
