Good blog Hal but don’t agree on some of the points there. Kamal is obviously not the same guy he was before. He has become very self indulgent at the cost of quality. Movies like hey ram and mumbai express were real tough to sit through. Virumandi was ok tho dark. I really hope he has made a good movie in dasavatharam. One thing for sure. A good kamal movie is the best there is.
Would like to know your disagreements reg. his views there. He’s quite right about the supposed “Thamizh culture policing”. BTW, the minister he’s referring is, Krishnaswamy..
For some reason I was revisiting some old films music last night. Have you seen this mallu movie called chanakya. I thought that was one of kamal’s best. Don’t think it was a big hit.
Yeah, I’m also a part of the gang who is a big fan of the director in Kamal. You could be right, he’s more of an indulgent auteur, but I simply love his work..
Saw “Chanakyan” long back, remember the film in parts. Will revisit the film sometime later. Incidentally Kamal-Urmila pair repeated again in Indian (Hindustani)

Hi Beld,
I’ve said this before, I would take an indulgent Kamal..:)

Lol Hal
Btw, any idea on what dasavatharam is about. I have a feeling its a MMM kind of deal. That would be awesome.

It’s not a comedy bro. It’s more of a drama, I heard. But seriously, I have no clue. It’s kept secret…
