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)

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.

My folks went to see Unarchigal without me :evil: saying that I was too young :sigh2:
Thanks Groucho! You were the first to reply.
Nov, your folks were right :-)

Any full-fledged film involves several people who share the passion for making movies.Quote:

You are really shifting the goalposts every day and trying to create a strawman which you can demolish then. Exasperating!

I understand your stand. All that I'm trying here is for "some respect" to these "hub-unsung" folks. (Plum may not agree and say I'm creating a strawman. That's because he chose to ignore SKV's posts. All I ask is P_R bAshaiyil sollum bronze kiNNam kooda illa...just oru aluminium vessel or tupperware, against the "pAthi-kadichcha-samoosA" from that pAththiram) :-)

For first time of india, TOI come up with a uruppadiyaana news! No Kamal-Rajini Combo!
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/e...w/15632902.cms
Intha newslaan evan nambikitrundha..It's been the case for the past few years...Another popular one doing the rounds is Rajini acting in a special role in Marudhanayagam....I personally feel we'll never get to see these two together again.....
app, to add to the discussion regarding SB's creative bent/passion versus his effectiveness as an executor, note that he often fell back on doing remakes of Malayalam films (which were usually more interesting than the average Tamil film in terms of the subject, the treatment and so on). He has had an eye on Malayalam cinema in particular and borrowed from it quite like his friend P Vasu. kadamai kaNNiyam kattuppAdu, vietnam colony, engirundhO vandhAn were the remakes, but even besides these films, pannIr pushpangaL, kAvalukku kettikkAran were also quite 'unusual' subjects for the then Tamil cinema which has made me wonder if they were remakes too in some ways.
I felt some Anpe Sivam influence in the poster - http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...53455603_n.jpg

கமலின் அடுத்தப்படம் ஹாலிவுட்டுக்குதான் என்று ஊரே உருமியடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்க, சைலண்ட்டாக ஒரு சிரிப்பு சப்தம் கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது மைலாப்பூர் பக்கம்.
ஹாலிவுட் படம் என்றால் அதற்கான காலமும் நேரமும் டாலர்களும் 'பெரிதினும் பெரிது கேள்' சமாச்சாரமாகிவிடும். இதையெல்லாம் நன்கு புரிந்து வைத்திருக்கும் கமல், அந்த ஹாலிவுட் படத்தை துவங்குவதற்கு முன் ஒரு காமெடி படத்தை தயாரித்து இயக்கிவிட்டால் என்ன என்று யோசிக்கிறாராம்.
கமல் சிரிக்கிறார் என்றால் அவருக்கு இரவல் பல்லாக இருப்பவர் கிரேஸி மோகன் அல்லவா? இப்போதெல்லாம் கமல் வீட்டில் கிரேஸியும், கிரேஸி வீட்டில் கமலும் அதிகமாக நடமாட ஆரம்பித்திருக்கிறார்கள். பேசிக் கொண்டே நடக்கிறார்கள். நடந்து கொண்டே சிரிக்கிறார்கள். சிரித்துக் கொண்டே எழுதுகிறார்கள்.
இந்த இருவர் கூட்டணி மீண்டும் ஒரு மெகா ஹிட் காமெடி படத்தை உருவாக்கப் போகும் முயற்சியில் இருப்பதாக தகவல். வாய் விட்டு சிரிச்சா வயிறு கெட்டுப் போகும்னு நினைக்கிற யாரா இருந்தாலும் இந்த செய்தியை புறக்கணிக்கலாம்

TIME TO RE-RELEASE KAMAL'S CLASSICS
A lot of Kamal Haasan’s movies have been dismissed as ‘ahead of time’ by the audiences. Either they didn’t understand these movies or just weren’t interested to use their brains in a movie hall, which is supposed to be just for entertainment.
Among this unfortunate list, we have classics like Kurudhipunal, Anbe Sivam and Hey Ram to name a few. Aalavandhan can also be included in this list as the concepts of hallucination were hitherto unexplored.
Sun TV has been screening movies based on two heroes this week in the 11pm slot. Last night we had Anbe Sivam. It literally arrested one’s attention for the entire span of its running time. There were no ad-breaks too. No other movie touched upon so many concepts like communism, labor problems, the concept of God, the culture of street-plays to drive messages, social issues like blood donation, youth’s obsession towards credit cards and above all the fact that looks can be deceptive. All this was achieved with the help of a breezy narration, intelligent dialogs, stunning set design and excellent performances by Kamal and apt foil from the likes of Madhavan, Nassar, Santhanabarathy and Kiran too.
When the movie was released in 2003, it was given the cold shoulder and the question that begs one’s attention is why? This movie was as close to being perfect as they come. Now, when this classic is shown on TV, the unanimous response one gets from viewers is “wow, what a movie!”
Even now it’s not too late. In this era of re-releases, restorations and 3D gimmicks, why not take up Anbe Sivam and release it again. In 2003, the audiences did a major disservice to Kamal Haasan – the artist, by snubbing this movie at the box-office. Now, if there is a re-release, one can safely bet that the amount of positive goodwill that Anbe Sivam has generated due to its cult status on TV would generate into footfalls at the theater as well.
When commercial movies like Baasha are being re-released, why not a true-blue classic like Anbe Sivam! People might argue that the fun is already lost due to the many screenings on TV, but so was Baasha which is practically screened once a month or so in Sun TV or K TV. The re-release of Baasha still worked pretty well.
With the cult following that Anbe Sivam has developed thanks to the proliferation of the social media, a re-release will probably work. Appropriate digital mastering and enhancement ought to be done for some extra value addition. Same with Aalavandhan and Hey Ram which are very rarely screened on TV, that too in the late night slot. With the backing of Hollywood giants like Tarantino, Aalavandhan has been in the news recently. Why not milk it with a re-release?
Hope the people who matter feel the same!

விழாவில் கமல்ஹாசன் பேசியதாவது:-
`இது என் குடும்பம். அதேபோல் முதல்-அமைச்சரும் நினைத்ததால் தான் இங்கே நம்முடன் அமர்ந்திருக்கிறார். என் குருநாதர் கே.பாலச்சந்தர் அவர்கள் சொன்னது போல, நாங்கள் செய்யவேண்டியதை நீங்கள் செய்து எங்களுக்கு பெருமை சேர்த்திருக்கிறீர்கள்.
எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதனின் இசை மூன்று, நான்கு தலைமுறைகளையும் தாண்டி இன்றைய தலைமுறையையும் கவர்ந்திருக்கிறது. என் மகளை நான் இசை பயில அமெரிக்கா அனுப்பி வைத்தேன். அவள் இசைப்பயிற்சி முடித்ததும் என்னிடம் போனில் எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன் இசையில் வந்த ஒரு பாடலை டியுன் பண்ணி `இது யாருடைய இசை?' என்று கேட்டாள். அந்த அளவுக்கு இந்த தலைமுறையையும் கவர்ந்தது இசையமைப்பாளர் எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதன் இசை. அதன்பிறகு அவள் பயிற்சி முடிந்து வந்ததும் நேராக இசையமைப்பாளர் எம்.எஸ்.விஸ்வநாதனிடம் அழைத்து வந்தேன். இவரை பாராட்ட வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை எனறார், இளையராஜா. அவரே அப்படி சொல்லி விட்ட பிறகு நான் என்ன சொல்லிப் பாராட்டுவது?
என்னையே பாராட்டியதுபோல்
இங்கே வந்திருந்த அத்தனை கலைஞர்களையும் நமது முதல்-அமைச்சர் கவுரவித்து பாராட்டியபோது என்னையே பாராட்டியதாக உணர்ந்தேன். முக்கியமாக பாடகி எம்.எஸ்.ராஜேஸ்வரி அவர்களை பாராட்டியபோது நான் சினிமாவில் முதன்முதலாக அவர்கள் பாடிய `அம்மாவும் நீயே அப்பாவும் நீயே' பாடலுக்குத்தான் வாயசைத்து நடித்தது மனதில் வந்தது. அவர்களை முதல்-அமைச்சர் பாராட்டியபோது என்னையே கவுரவித்தது போல் உணர்ந்தேன்.'
இவ்வாறு கமல்ஹாசன் பேசினார்.
