Chevalier Dr. Kamal Haasanin Mayyam - Part 9

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

let's see how Kabali fares to TV or UV and then let's all conclude if he really lost the glamour and shine and the market. if i have to guess it'll sell at the price TV + UV put together to show who's the real king.

Why are you bringing kabaali here?! I mean, who compared that with UV or TV??? Kamal has habit of making small films and Tv is one such. Its just a remake and not original script. It will make its own money in BO and Kamal is not in a position to prove anything to rajini fans becos he has proved and beaten square one Rajini, in ALL departments. He need not keep on doing that, becos thats not his interest. He is not one to make empty films, hype it, and wish each and every film to be a blockbuster, and finally get bulb severely. He has lot of things to be done with his eacn and every films. recently so far, none of his films has been damaging to any of producer/theater-ppl/distributors

chumma intha dagalti venam.. padam is a padam. he's not making movies to be failures. i agree at the same time he puts more efforts to make more meaningful entertainment but end goal is only to make money. chumma ivar art padam edupparu quality pathi pesu apdi ipdinnu padam podathinga.. he's acting non-stop though low budget films to get what he lost in some of the big blockbusters you're claiming. if he's half successful as his counterpart he could have slowed down in his pace considering his age. his new objective is to complete films in 30-40 days, may i know why? is he trying to produce more movies to help this society move along when you guys claim he has nothing to prove to anyone?

acting in more films is his decision/strategy. he may have more reasons for that. on what basis you say that its becos he lost?! to invest in small films also u need producers and his small films too are sold at regular rate like his big films. above all, he may feel that before getting out of lead role(since he is ageing)he may want to produce more films with him as lead. also the collective success of this small films may yield him some other advantage. above all, this 4 films per year is just an unconfirmed news. so far he didnt say anything about his next film.

and if u ask such a question on his strategy then i too can ask why is rajini acting as a don which will help the film sureshot hit?! why not as an engineer or docter or some other role?!? if rajini does, you say its smart. if kamal does, you say he is doing for loss settling. and that too an unconfirmed news.

as of his last 3 films, Roopam is a blockbuster. Papanasam is a superhit film with great profit! UV is not a big loss like some media is projecting. His Thongavanam is a sureshot success.

No one is making movies to fail. Everyone makes movies with the hope that a lot of people will see. That said, KH makes movies on his own terms -- movies that are different from each other (even from his own earlier movies) and subjects that he likes and feels will be appreciated by others. He is making more movies these days because he has (finally) understood that as he gets older, it is better to make 2-3 movies per year rather than a movie every 2 years. This has been the wish of every KH fan for a number of years now. He is finally implementing it and is a happy move for everyone. What needs to be understood is that he is playing to his strength and showing his versatility. Not many can say that - they are boxed into a typical hero versus villain masala which we have seen many times over.

I am sorry, paapanaasam is a remake. So is thoongavanam. You are talking as if he is coming up with some original plot. BTW, Viswaroopam is another hero-villain story only too! The fact is you admire him and love him a lot, so even if he comes up with some remakes that looks so original to you. That's all!

No, absolutely nothing wrong with remakes. I did not say he always comes up with original plot - that is your interpretation. I said he does movies in his own terms and makes very different choices. Movies that are different and yet strike the mark in terms of box office, most times. Even Uttama Villain which did not do so well at the box office was quite refreshing, imo. Regarding Vishwaroopam, you are correct in that it is also a hero story but its context and execution was very different. Something like Enthiran which was different and enjoyable. Frankly, if KH is able to make 2-3 movies per year, it would truly be a golden period. He can then afford to try even more, different things.

Well, I am not going to argue anything against your perspective. You can be yourself and believe in your judgment. Believe in your judgement about quality of a movie or an actor.

Having said that now I am going to substitute, "I" for "You" and "my" for "your" and "myself" for "yourself" in the three sentences I have phrased.

Here is where problem arises.

When I do that, it is not accepted especially in this thread. People get angry and get personal and say thing like this "irr" does!

So, it is complicated than what we think.

Well, let me say good bye to thread. Even after I said that, you will see so many "attacks" will continue here! That's the funny part!

தமிழ்..ஒன்றை நீங்கள் புரிந்து கொள்ளணும்.. ரஜினியின் ரசிகையாக இருந்துகொண்டு நீங்கள் எந்த வரைமுறைகளையும் மற்ற படைப்பாளிகளிடமும், நடிகர்களிடமும் திணிக்கவும் முடியாது, எதிர்பார்க்கவும் முடியாது. ஏனெனினில் ரஜினியே தனது ஆரம்ப கால ஆரோக்யமான பாதையை விட்டு விலகி வணிகச் சக்கரத்தில் தேடிப்போய் தன்னை உட்படுத்திக் கொண்டவர். வணிக சினிமாவினை அடுத்த தலைமுறையினர் ஆட்கொள்ளும்போது, அதை ஜீரணிக்க முடியாத தொனியைத்தான் உங்களிடம் பல திரிகளில் காணமுடிகிறது. மேலும் பல திரிகளில் பலரின் கோபத்திற்கும் , வெறுப்பிற்கும் ஆளாக்குவது பெரும்பாலும் உங்களின் பதிவே. சில கமல் ரசிகர்களுக்கு ரஜினி படங்களைப் பிடிக்கும். முதல் வாரத்திலேயே பார்த்துவிடுவார். சில கமல் ரசிகர்கள் ரஜினியின் சில படங்களை மட்டும் தேர்ந்தெடுத்து பார்க்கும் பழக்கமுள்ளவர்கள். சில கமல் ரசிகர்கள் ரஜினி படங்களை பார்க்க விரும்ப மாட்டார்கள். அதுபோலவே ரஜினி ரசிகர்களையும் வகைப்படுத்தலாம். இதில் நீங்கள் எந்த ரகம் என்பதை நீங்கள் சொல்கிறீர்களோ இல்லையோ, மையமே சாட்சியாக காட்டிக்கொடுத்துக்கொண்டிருக்கிறது. எனது மைய அனுபவத்தில் நீங்கள் கமலின் ஒரு படத்தையாவது சிலாகித்தோ, நல்லாயிருக்கு என்றோ ஒரு வார்த்தைகூட பதிவு செய்ததாக நினைவில்லை. அதுபோலவே மற்ற சமகால நட்சத்திர நடிகர்களின் படங்களையும்.

considering his age, it is his passion for cinema - so if Sachin Tendulkar or Dhoni play IPL besides their respective test/one-day/20-20 careers, is it only for making money??

super logic! stunning!

See, it is very easy to pass subjective comments without much substantiation. It is hard to argue and settle anything. We will all end up wasting a lot of time, without achieving anything.
