The legendary KAMAL HAASAN

Kamal - This man surely has no parallel in the Cine field. Next to Nadigar Thilagam Shivaji Ganeshan I personally feel he is the only man who deserves to be the role model for other artists. It certainly wouldn be an exaggeration when one says non-tamilians are mising something in life.. 215 versatile performances, 65 Songs of various modulations, 12 kinds of dances performed with full perfection, 50 screenplays depicting the realities of life, thought provoking lyrics and many films amazingly directed, - Rather than his multi-talents the risks he takes and the effort that he puts for it,thats what is to be honored abt ths fascinating man.Wanna know more about this gr8 man watch "Ulaganayagan Kamal Aimbathu - Oru Thodarum Sarithiram" staged by Vijay TV to celebrate the 50-year film journey of actor Kamal Haasan, this programe says it all..

There are lots n lots of performances of this legend in various roles which, other actors if they try to imitate, certainly wouldn be able to come close enough to the level of justice he has done for that role .To start wth Kalathoor Kannama - In the song "Ammaavum Neeye, Appaavum Neeye", the lip sink that too for a 6 yr old kid necessitates an salutation,even his acting was so perfect that no one wld evn think of it as his first movie.. Then the Aboorva Sahodrargal,Indian, Anbe Sivam, Satheeleelavathi, Vasool Raja MBBS, Thenali, Dasavathaaram and the latest Unnai Pol Oruvan.Each and every role of his is so perfectly done that we tend to forget he is acting and its as if he has actually lived the character.His services outside the cine-world also deserves an appreciation..

Expecting more and more from him..



Thought these 2 pics would also help me in conveying my message




He surely merits compliments in tamil, so d final touch up for this post goes n Tamil நம்ம "நம்மவர்" பத்தி தமிழ்ல ஒரு ரெண்டு லைன் கூட எழுதலேனா ஞாயமா சொல்லுங்க - "எந்த ஒரு கதாபாத்திரம் ஏற்று நடித்தாலும் அதை மிக சிறப்பாக செய்து உலகத்தையே தன் நடிப்பால் தன் பக்கம் திருப்பும் திறன் இவருக்கு மட்டும் தான் உண்டு"..

"உன்னை போல் ஒருவன்" யாரும் கிடையாது இருக்கவும் முடியாது


P.S : The "," and blank space in the first para is to indicate that the list doesnt end there. The other talents which as and when revealed will also be added.

Review of Two States

The New York Times called Chetan Bhagat as the biggest-selling English-language novelist in India’s history and his latest book "Two States" is also gonna add to this credit.

It’s a story of a Punjabi guy Krish, and a Tamil Brahmin girl Ananya who are in love and want to get married with their "parent's approval" and the hurdles being the incompatible differences between their parents, their cultures and the language.For a successful Indian marriage, the mandatory conditions are 1.Girl's family should like the guy, 2.Guy's family should like the girl and 3. Most importantly the guy's family should like the girl's family and 4.Guy and the girl should like each other(should - to be replaced with may/may not).Krish actually gets 4 rings and proposes the whole family and gets their acceptance..

The whole plot is very naturalistic, delineating the cultural differences in diverse India like the boisterous, loud Punjabi music versus quiet melodious Tamilian Carnatic music, the parathas versus the idlis etc. In the illustrations where he describes the way Ananya reacts to the mess food,when Krish for the first time comes to south India is all sooooo realistic. The pacing of the book is again perfect no unwanted fittings. Though the cover page itself tells us the story, it could have been designed better..

Readers,it sure would be a good addition to your library.. Have fun reading it..

Review of movie - Unnai Pol Oruvan..

Unnai pol Oruvan Kamal's latest movie is really mopre prodigious than the original moive "A Wednesday". I am not gonna reveal the story here, as I feel the whole thrill of it will be lost if someone knows the story already

Each character in the movie be it Kamal or Mohanlal or Anuja Iyer or the cop Ganesh Venkatram, each one of them have did their best.. Not even a single scene thats off the track.. Dialogues are so realistic which sure is to be applauded. In climax scene where he narrates the tragic incident brings tears in our eyes as well.. The scene where he drops the tomato and picks it up,then in the interactions b/w Lakshmi and Mohanlal and the scene where he says his name is missing from the voter's list, he has glued all real life prevelant issues which makes it all the more appealing which makes us forget that its a movie giving us a feel that we are just beside Kamal watching him.. This is the reason for the victroy of the movie.. Shruthi's background score is surely commendable which also adds to the positives of the movie..

As its been said in the movie " Endha kuppanalo suppanalo idha seiya mudiyumnu ninaikreengala" only, only Kamal can do something like this.. To put it in short , its excellent and Better than the Best..
