Khan Saheb Kamal Haasan's Jamaat/Jeba Koottam/Devasthaanam - Part 8

@IRIR and Groucho

Nayagan was accepted by the american critics right? What about Tarantino's homages? Sergio leano remade kurawara isnt it? I dont think they will be that foolish to ignore what Kamal brought to the table in Mahanadhi just by those two scenes from whichever movies you were talking about...

getting inspired is not wrong, every artist does - Kamal does come up with brilliant original ideas as in Aboorva Sagodharargal, Pushpak, Virumandi, MX (contrary to what many claim, MX is one of Kamal's better works, IMO). However, it is when he does not give credit to the original source, and later on ppl like me come to know the source, it gets irritating!

if that can happen to a normal movie-goer/watcher like me, i leave it to your imagination as to what an average film critic in the West would say when he watches an Indiran Chandiran (inspired from Richard Dreyfuss's "Moon Over Parador"), or Sati Leelavathy ("She devil") - just to name a few.

noone denied his versatility, or his mercurial talents - if he can credit Javed Akthar for Sathya's story, or Nihalini for Kurudhi punal, why not the same for an english film ?
