1. Kamal 80s ordinary movies - QED as far as I am concerned. Not just Sattam. See Vvazhve maayam at the end of title song. Siridevi kovichukinu poga sollO maadipadi OramA vandhu oru "mixed emotion" look vuduvaaru. ArtificalO artificial. Kamal in 80s ordinary movies - don't start me on it.anban will kill me.
2. Rajini is the only actor among all mass heroes and mass hero wannabes in Tamil film continuum. I don't like 6 to 60 but look at how he handled ordinary moments there. Grouch can write more. As NT would have done it. Call him a NT clone yeah if you want. Nothing to be ashamed about that.
3. Kamal the writer/director - greater talent than Kamal the actor. But yeah the star Kamal was required to make sure the director Kamal had a market. To that extent, I see the 80s as investment.
4. He is a bloody good actor. Trumps most other competitors on that aspect despite acting being his second string in the bow.
4. I rejeet stunt and dance talent so yeah, P-R's passionate arguments for 80s Kamal along those lines is rejetted.
5. Rajini after Thalabadhi is thoroughly wasted
5. It is long term memory loss to evaluate Rajini based on past 20 years. Just think Jeeva@30 years vs Rajini*30 years. No contest, even if you ignore Rajini's output post his 30 years of age. Heck, idhellaam naan En explicitA sollikittrukkEn?
7. Frabhu deva dance - sori sirangu soridhal, pant zip kazhatti moodal, sattai thiRandhu moodal, discrete movements - bhava bayaharam. Thank God I don't have much respect for dance as an art. If he is the standard against which Kamal is poor dancer, lacks grace etc, you guys should take it easy. You don't want to call Kamal good according to those standards.
