Think Roja and Kamal had issues as well. Surprised (based on a link posted) that he was not keen on Meena although they gave some good hit movies together.

In my observation, Nadhiya seems to have serious "feminist attitude problem" worse than Radhika or Sugashini or anybody I know of. I dont think she respects any "Heros" including Rajni and Kamal in Tamil! :)
Roja case was different, For a movie she was booked by the producers but kamal decided to change the Heroine..Quote:

Drishyam, the Malayalam superhit film starring Mohan Lal and Meena in the lead roles is being remade in Telugu and Tamil Whil Venakatesh and Meena will reprise the lead roles in Telegu Ulaganayagan Kamalhassan is going to take up the role played by Mohan Lal in Tamil .
Regarding the heroine of the Tamil version, initially it was said that Meena would reprise the role played by her in Malayalam. Now we hear that popular Tamil and Malayalam heroine of the 1980's Nadhiya is being considered for the role.
Nadhiya pair up with Kamal for the first time'
Sources even say that Nadhiya has better chances to grab the offer since she has never paired up with Kamalhassan in the past. Meena has played the same role in Malayalam and she has already paired up with Kamal in the film Avvai Shanmugi.
Another version of the story says that Nadhiya may be included in the cast to play the role of the Lady Inspector General played by Asha Sarath in Malayalam.
The lead lady of Drishyam Tamil will be Nadhiya or Meena or some one else? We will have to wait for a few more weeks for things to get cleared

மலையாளத்தில் நடித்த மீனாவையே தமிழிலும் கமல் ஜோடியாக நடிக்க வைக்க பரிசீலித்தனர். இருவரும் ஏற்கனவே அவ்வை சண்முகி படத்தில் இணைந்து நடித்துள்ளார்கள். பிறகு நதியாவும் பரிசீலிக்கப்பட்டார். கமலும் நதியாவும் இணைந்து படங்களில் இதுவரை நடிக்கவில்லை. இருவரில் ஒருவர் ஜோடியாவார் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது.

Have to see who will be it ?
It is well known that Kamalhassan is acting the male lead role in the Tamil remake of Mohanlal starrer Malayalam film Drishyam. The film directed by Jeetu Joseph had Meena playing Lal's wife. The Tamil versions is going to be helmed by the same director and the initial talks about the Ulaganayagan's pair in the film pointed to Meena. Later it was said that Nadhiya will replacey Meena in the Tamil version since the former has never acted with the Padma Bhushan actor.
Meena and Simran
Now some other sources reveal that Simran is one of the strong contenders for the role. Soruces also state that Simran has apparently conveyed her wish to pair up with Kamal for the third time after Pammal K.Sambandham and Panchathanthiram. The films released as back to back ventures of the Kamlahassan which lead to rumours linking the two.
Simran's marriage to Deepak Baga put an end to those rumours and in a few years Simran was back to acting. Though she has done a few memorable roles in silver screen like the one in Gautham Menon's Varanam Ayiram her second innings in k-town has not been so successful so far. Hence the actress started concentrating on small screen and is now busy with mega serials and television shows. If she grabs the offer to star in Drishyam Tamil version, it will surely help to stabilise her position in the tinsel world.

Moondram Pirai- One movie which still baffles me. Before pelting me with stones for my opinion ( and possible misinterpretation), I hope you read this with an open mind and correct me if I'm wrong (I'm still learning and evolving as a film student).
Kamal, comes across as a bit of a loner who resuces Sridevi and takes the role of her carer willingly. I'm with the director until this point but he completely shocks me when he begins to show a completely sane man who is a teacher (which again borders on a carer role) developing feelings for a woman who has regressed into the mind of a young kid (taking on the teacher-younger student dynamic now) who he knows is in no capacity to return his feelings. It seems twisted and wrong on so many levels and maybe that is what the director intended to accomplish, I have no idea. I have the strongest feeling the romantic angle was introduced for commercial purposes and somehow marred the beauty of what could have otherwise been a world class movie. Any takers to enlighten this young mind??
I watched the movie long back and I don't remember many of the scenes. But in which scene did you see Kamal show his 'romantic feelings' to Sridevi? The despair and frustration his character shows in the climax are just because she does'nt even remember him. Loneliness and losing a close friend makes him cry.Quote:

Kamal might deserve padmabhooshan for his immense contribution in giving back tremendously to the cinema field which had given him many things, but in general the clamor for giving awards / titles / undeserving accolades to film fraternity should get reduced.....there are so many achievers in various fields who are not even taken note of............Quote:

While writing that title, I felt that it was not a suitable one, but as the topic in hand revolves around it, I could not find an appropriate one. Its been a while (say few years) that I have watched Moondram Pirai,but the images are still intact and I am just recollecting few points from the notes I had taken while watching the film.
A womanhood is culturally described as multidimensional where she takes up different roles in her life. That was exploited by many film makers. What Balu Mahendra (BM) puts forward is the male version. The 2 main characters share emotions from the male POV where he supports her as a father, brother, friend, teacher & of coarse dreams of his body needs. Here is where BM carefully - in the sense without using any vulgarity - showcases lust. About the other needs, caricatured as Sins are also present in the movie.
Yes, Kamal plays a teacher, but his student is a different one. She is not a kid but an adult. So the angle of 'teacher-student' should be approached with care, as its not that which is highlighted but how Kamal sustains himself before the 'Adult-Kid' whom he met initially with other intentions. He is the teacher of that immature mind and not for the matured body (it goes well age wise too). Add in being single and the symbols that provoke him in the day to day life through magazines and other mediums. The emotional break-down is the point here, where he over comes his body needs. If he was shown manhandling Sridevi, then there is something wrong, but never he does that. Thoughts are those grasses, cut them short and your mind becomes a decorated garden. He keeps her in this decorated garden by mowing down all those unintentional thoughts, which climb up inside any normal human being.
Here is where Silk comes into picture. Silk and Kamal are parallels - Silk living with a 'body' older & Kamal living with a 'body' younger - but both spirit does not know their true potential where the old one thinks he is still capable, and the young one has no clue what its capable. Thus Kamal and Silk form a lusting pair, where Silk has no boundaries, but Kamal has a well defined one. Its for this notion we have the provocative incidents - one such is where silk uses her feet to seduce Kamal but Kamal covered the feet of Sridevi when the saree gets misplaced.
The whole saree dream episode is on the Adult (body) of Sridevi (repeat - the circumstances he meet her, more importance is to the motive). But what he sees is actually the Kid form where the mind overtakes the body, well for both of them. Thus Kamal accepts the reality, his duty, and bundles up all his selfish desires and goes ahead to cure her accepting a rather hypothetical outcome. Here again it shows the cultured man in Kamal where he does his duty by striving forward keeping aside all the hindering and disturbing thoughts seeing only the pointer and not the beautifully carved arrow.
And the climax, Kamal looks for that kid and not the parting adult Sridevi. That's another clue that he has overcome the "romance" and is craving for the "affection". So concluding the togetherness to be romantic means the search was incomplete. Romance is just a charged force which Balu Mahendra uses to sky-rocket a relationship's pure form.
Moondram Pirai - Wandering Mind.
super............. you surely got to be working out in some magazine for the literary / movie section mappi....... not sure whether BM really had those things in mind that you had described here but it sure throws some great insight into the movie and the characters in that movie.......... you could have also given the significance of the title used here.......... Is it like Moon (Sridevi) is in the fully illuminated stage (first part of the movie) and what we got to see in the entire movie is the Crescent moon stage (Moondram pirai) and in the climax Sridevi gets to the full moon stage again?
:lol:Quote:

rsubras,
I will not go so far to decipher the title by keeping in mind its related to moon and accommodating all its phases. Its a tale which is clung between Entry & Exit of Sridevi in Kamal's life, a phase in his life. Moondram Pirai (third quarter moon) is one of the prettiest phase of the moon, before the New moon. It's also a rarest site in the sky. A similar happy moment intervened Kamal's life. Just like its definition - it visible when the moon is at right angle with Earth & Sun - these 2 just get along as right as fine could be. But Moondram Pirai is the shortest phase in a moon's life cycle, immediately plunging the sky into darkness (New Moon). So does the parting of Sridevi crashed Kamal in her total absence.
Please ; I am all earsQuote:

I'm going to give the movie a repeat to see it through your eyes. Thank you again.Quote:

While not as descriptive as Mappi, my take on the relationship aspect goes like this:
Tamil movies prior to 90's maybe '95 differentiated punidhamana kaadhal vs. kaadhal contaminated with kaamam, lust or sexual intent. In case of moondram pirai or guna for eg. it was the former. Love in its purest form. Recall in Guna when he pushes Abirami away as she tries to kiss him in the cave fearing 'kalangam' to the divine relationship. Similarly in Mooram Pirai his love for sridevi was devoid of any lust - he looked upon her as a kid at heart, woman as in physical attributes etc. And she was his only connect with life.
Silk lusting for kamal is the other extreme where he strongly pushes her back saying 'Naa nandri uLLa naai'
Nice! Although I had the gist of what the movie implied, you put it down quite well ... bravo!Quote:
