Ghandi (Richard Attenborough)

Dubbed in Tamil. Terrible voice acting. Ithula English subtitle-vera, which was equally bad. The fellers saying, "mannar" and the subtitle says, "her majesty"

But a word on cinematography, I too have been esctatic about cinematography that involves lots of movement. But some shots in this film stunned me, brilliant. To me now, a good cinematography = any single frame that can be pulled out and still looks like awesome photograph. I forgot that its all about framing...damn me for praising cinematography in Ravanan, I take that back.

One good thing about dubbing this kinda films, it introduces Tamil audience to some greats, like John Gielgud here. The man who tutored frickin' Brando with the latter's dialogues in Julius Caesar (1953).
