    "Novelty was supposed to be Kamal’s USP. Behind that popular façade was a narrow-minded formula aimed purely at hoodwinking the critic. Discerning observers knew that he was a predictable actor. Beneath the makeup the midget cried exactly like the lunatic. The revelation that Kamal had never ever ventured beyond mimicking was a painful one indeed. The actor continued his affair with trophies and citations, but the interest he generated seemed as artificial and forced as his work. Predictability became a predicament with the not-too-blinded Kamal Haasan fan. He always knew what his hero was going to do next."

    "‘Hey Ram’. A courageous foray into a ‘forbidden’ topic, the film could very well merit the king’s crown among India’s period features. Kamal Haasan, the actor, was skin deep as always. The French Kiss fetish was still there. So was self-love. But the real gift was the final slide of the opening titles that gave the hitherto “interfering actor” the credit for the creatives."

    "Kamal had been an idol that refused to accompany me from my childhood to teenage. Somewhere along the way, I stopped being a Kamal devotee. The “great range” seemed to be a contrived career strategy. And the man had, by then, resorted to veiled mimicking and fancy dress shows on screen. Gum shields for ‘Nayakan’, protruding canines and jelly belly for ‘Indran Chandran’, the “unknown trick” behind the Apu midget… Kamal Haasan was fast moving out of the actor’s realm into that of the street magician."

    Growing out of being the fan of 'kamal the Actor' and embracing 'kamal the Creator/Director' is Nottai Sollufying for you
    After Reading the synopsis itself i knew KSR'kkum intha padathukkum entha sambandhamum illa. 'My foot he doesnt know about parallel universes travelling across space-time et all' Appadinnu Kathanum pola irukku!!! 4th dimesionna ennannu KSR kitta kaetta ithukku badhil kedaichudum :P Aanalum Kamal the creator is going and hiding behind the kamal the actor and pushing KSR to the forefront. Ennathukku Ivalo Bayapadraarnnu thaan puriya maatenguthu
