Excellent Venkkiram.

Comming to MMA, mine too is a bit differed from yours and closer to Aravind and Bill4u. But your argument is too good (I should give that to you). Let see how people are going to counter and catch-up with it.

Please continue ... finally an interesting thread & discussion.

nice sarcastic post. Kalakkal maapi. I think a decade after, Venki will be the only one praising MMA. As a Kamal and KSR fan, it is one film that I would like to forget.

One thing puzzles me no end.

The media forever tries to downplay the BO success of Kamal's films or even his commercial viability to such an extent, as if every movie of his has been turning up huge losses.

simple straightforward logic : if a series of products with a certain brand name continues to fail in the marketplace, no matter what the brand name is, it will bite the dust.

but Kamal has been giving films regularly and that in itself should negate the BO failure claims of a biased media.

Strictly from a commercial point of view, his films are definitely doing more than just breaking even, given that producers are willing to finance him over and over again.

Its sensational and news worthy for the media to publish reports such as 'Kamal's gargantuan project bites dust or Kamal's controversial Hey Ram bombs in boxoffice' etc. to increase frenzy.

Why only Kamal?

Why only Kamal?

Not many like him - daring, creative and experimental. Will make news if they write negatively on him like that rather than other way

It seems when it comes to which movie will break the top movie in collection, none of kamal's up coming movies are mentioned, it is almost like if it is about BO then ignore kamal...
@mappi - why this sarcasm in your post???

Kamal has 4 options ....... option 1 ) classic plus superhit potential like Thevar magan or Nayagan ...... 2) classic with flop potential ..... Like Anbe sivam or Hey Ram 3) Masala with superhit elements where Kamal can excel in a way only he can ..... eg .. Dasa , VV, VR 1 etc. Option 4 ) masala with no wow element where there is nothing great for Kamal as a performer or screenplay wright ...... classic eg ... Manmadhan Ambu.
I feel option 1 is ideal .... option 2 he can do once in 3 or 4 films to satisfy himself and every 2nd movie has to be option 3 for him to continue as a superstar. Option 4 is a waste of time of the 60 year old legend who has few years left and of his fans.

Great points!! thats exactly i was thinking but cant put it in words,everyone will agree with your point..
out of 5 movies 2 each for option 1 & 3, 1 movie for option 2....
Option 4 is total waste and infact it damages his name very badly..You see anbe sivam,eventhough its average in collections people still praise him for that movie than any of his movies in last 15 years..
If you notice properly in mumbai express and manmadhan ambu he used the technique like A,B,C for conversation and some kind of music pattern which is quite irritating/confusing..i dont know from where he got that idea..may be execution is not proper
