a tribute to the lord of indian cinema

By




Kamal Hassan ...I call him the lord of indian cinema...for he has tried most of the things a normal film maker wud have tried..and its good to have this song in my blog..





and I recall some of his words in the recent interviews..."I encourage lot of young and brilliant engineers to come into this medium which has most power but beware , its not a place for those toddlers who enter here to learn cinema, its art but still it is a competitive profession.."

he frowns " If somebody says that ..the films directed by me are not reached or comprehended by the tamil people ..I wud totally disagree as a true tamilian.."

Most us have watched Virumandi ..an example of good screen play...in the recent either in the SUN TV [It was a highlights of a full feature film...20-20 mania has caught up with SUN TV too...]
this particular scene in Virumandi....where he cries in the grave for her grandma..this particular scene is the crux of the of the film and this might not have reached most of the urban audience...but the details...he has put in for this scene..amazing man...i donno why this film was not a block buster....

lots n lots ..to write abt him..

remakes of old films are a a bit trendy nowadays..n i have one question to the film community ...have they ever thought of remaking a Kamal Movie? If they com eup with such ventures no doubt it can be only him doing the remake...

n today when i was on the way to the vadapalani i had a chance to view the posters of 'Nayagan'...it was kinda degrading national award winner . A clear example of how the treatment is , for such a master piece which changed the trends in among Tamil cinema audience. I dont have any personal opinions of the actors whoever have acted in this 'new Nayagan' film. It would be good if Tollywood put their heads on this issue i protecting the the names of those films...like they have in Hollywood...


kudos to his recent efforts..in Dasvatharam..luckily this film was not picked by the so called "Nattai munnetra pOrkodi thookum athangavathigal.."
[ I hear a voice " ethanga... vathi sir..."]..
not to put down some of the efforts from Ravi Varman. It was a good feeling when I had a chance to meet him a month ago @ Inox..

Back to School..confessions..pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan

By
ஆலம் விழுதுகளாய் வேறூண்றி இருக்கும் பள்ளி நினைவுகளின் பதிப்புகளிலிருந்து ஒரு சில பக்கங்கள் ... In a way i am doing injustice to the English Teacher Nirmala Krishnaswamy(our x princi) by starting the blog in tamil[reason may be the effect of bunking the english classes:) ] at the  same time I am happy doing good justice to my tamil teacher Malarkodi.[ எல்லாருக்கும் எருமை தயிரு ஞாபகமிருக்கும்ன்னு நெனைக்குரேன். ] Anyways language is not a barrier for those wonderful journeys.! The transliteration of the starting lines... 'pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan' The banyan logo of the school perfectly suits the title of the post .Banyan represents eternal life because of its seemingly ever-expanding branches so as we are with lot of branches across the world by spreading the knowledge from those woods*. Lets board the time machine to take us back to the mid 80 s ,where most of the memories are still afresh . On the voyage there are l

My Formula is Cab

By
12.30 A.M., Parking Lot, Karapakkam Service Lane I woke up by a strong wind gushing thru my window and the fluttering sound of the trip sheets. I had just made a trip to perambur from karappakkam. I cud see a blurred image of the trip supervisor nearing my car. I wonder is it just fate or a passion for driving, for if it was passion I would have become Schumacher…[believe me I am not a fan or a follower of Schumacher. I hardly get time to even have a normal diet…just heard this name when one of the employee uttered this name. Out of curiosity, I was asking him who he was and what was special about him…] Then I told to myself , all the cab drivers are in a way F1 drivers...the Schumachers and Alonsos who drive their way to the chequered flag 18 times once in a year and during each race have pit stops compared to our drivers who also get lot of pits stops, rather all along the journey in the roads of C
