Completely agree.I always wonder why he writes such complicated stuff.Quote:

More approachable. While at it, I'd make a quick top ten of Kamal. Off my hat, lets see:Quote:

3.Apoorva Sahotharargal - Forget the technique. Its easy, but his performance made you forget to look for the platforms, the dugouts, etc. This is the best tribute to all the rattai-vesham/revenge films of the past.
4.Anbe Sivam - I've trying to tell my faith to others for so long and its tough. This film made it easy. That National Award ignored it confirms how ignorant they are.
5.Mundram Pirai - Selfless. Sincere. Makes you laugh, cry, watch in awe and later squirm in your seat. Very performance based, and beautifully shot.
6.Sigappu Rojakkal - makes you wonder why he is not doing anti-hero anymore. One of the early serious examination of a man's pshyche. Very deep. Very disturbing. As a child, it was a horror movie. As an adult, its a psychological thriller.
7. Salangai Oli - Dance, romance that never happened, and the ending with a bitter old man. No Star Trek-like makeup here, but Kamal pulled it off with performance alone.
8.Nayagan. I am conflicted about this movie. Godfather and Brando/De Niro performance still haunts me. But it should be in Kamal's top ten.
9.Avvai Shanmugi. I don't exaggerate on my praising. But can anyone else do this...ever?
10.Pathinaru Vayathinile. Tamil film lovers get their first flash of brilliance from this very, very young ex-child actor named Kamalahassan. Of course, years later he changed the spelling.

As for the in-between, you can include Vietnam Veedu Sundaram. Mahendran wrote for Tangga pathakkam.
AP. Nagarajan, Sridhar and K.S. Gopalakrishnan are directors who were excellent dialogue writers as well.
Then, you have hacks, wonderful hacks, like Aroordass and A.L. Narayanan (Latter was later).
Can anyone give me the name of those wonderful writers who wrote for Banthulu?
In the eighties, Visu did a good job in Netrikann and Mr. Barath. Not to mention, some of his better films.
Bagyaraj? He wrote for Kamal/Barathiraja's Oru Kaithiyin Dairy (and Sigappu Rojakkal? I need confirmation).
The list goes on.
Of course, in comedy, there is the indisputable Crazy Mohan.
Note for Kamal fans:
Vietnam Veedu Sundaram wrote dialogues for Soorasamharam. K.S. Gopalakrishna wrote the story for Per Sollum Pillai (when Kamal required Padikkatha Methai-type film, he thought of the original writer of that movie).
Groucho,
V.P.Kattabomman dialogues written by Sakthi Krishnasamy.
In the same period Kannadasan wrote 'sivakangai seemai' and few more like Madurai veeran.
Kalaingar
Mahendran(if he writes for his own movies)
Balakumaran
Kamal
crazy mohan
sujatha
manivannan
visu
balachander(if he writes dialogues for his movies)
barathiraja
The writers of movies like kattabomman are not known nowadays
Crikey, how in hell did I forget Kannadhasan. Of course, Kannadhasan is great as well.Quote:

My Top Ten Kamal movies (listed almost 10 years ago)
http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Picks/97/kamal.htm
Will those still remain today? :shock:
Nov,
After seeing your list,I realised I missed Devar magan in my top10 ,which should be even in my top 5.
//Joe, did he write for Karnan as well?//
I am not sure..But I will confirm later after I check with my VCD
Crikey pt2!!! I missed Devar Magan. Oh well...those are the ones that poppled immediately on my mind. I haven't seen Devar Magan for far too long...maybe I have the tendency to stop viewing when Sivaji passes on. I had the same problem with Padaiyappa. I stopped watching halfway.
I must see Devar magan again.
C.N.Annadurai, P.Neelakandan, B.S.Ramiah, M.Karunanidhi, Kannadasan, C.V.Sridhar, K.S.Gopalakrishnan, Aroordhaas , AL Narayanan , Elangovan, A.S.A.Sami,
Panchu arunachalam , Krishnan panju
scripted too right..?
Actors:
Sivaji
Kamal
Rajini-highly under-rated actor (watch sri ragavendra)
MGR
Ajith-higly under-rated actor-much better than some present day over-rated actors but hardly gets deserved credit--ppl tend to overlook his acting because he has turned into a mass hero.
Madavan
Surya
Vikram-Vijay
Dhanush
Co:
MR Radha
Naasar
Raguvaran
Prakash Raj
Movies:
Vaali
Nayakan
Kaathal KOttai
Maha Nathi
Bombai
Ramana
Thalabathi
:notworthy: :clap: :thumbsup: :DQuote:

Not sure whether u forgot or really not in ur list..Quote:

Almost all of his movies had dialogues by him.
His dialogues to the situations are completely enjoyable.

Interesting mix of movies, RPB. You must have a very open mind and are very accepting. Though, i assume, like Joe said, that the Marutha is Tangga and Talatha is Tullatha.Quote:
