Chevalier Dr. Kamal Haasanin Mayyam - Part 9

[mappi]

hh..what is memes?

Memes are those holes in a diaper, where the leakage stinks the surrounding whereas the other kids laugh at it. Its the continues punching hole system where the basic idea was derived from "Avan 1 spoon 'athu' thindran, so naan oru 'plate' athu thinuvein". Basically its amused and circulated by kids with keyboards in a cupboard who think anonymity is a glorious weapon. The memes attract other diapers with its foolishness, where even a fool thinks he knows everything. Questioning a meme irkes the diaper claded warriors who start to act in packs, where the initial question is never addressed but everyone wearing other diaper marks are attacked. Its is generally called 'Diaper Wars' where they start arguing each one's leakage is greater than the other. Memes are nothing but opinions converted to facts by people who don't know the basic definitions of either. Everything is a proof and anything is the source is their slogan. More over meme is that shit which attracts flies. When there are flies, there is buzz. In rare cases intellectual get attracted by the odeur. The syndrome is called SWS - 'striking the shit with a stick'. SWS patients are cureable. The cure is only time based, where they slowly start to understand that foolishness can never be funny, in whichever way its projected. Memes have made the scientist to move a step forward and thru research they have concluded that, effectively a 3rd kind has evolved. Initially it was only 'empty vessel' & 'vessels full'. But now there is this exceptional specimens - "vessels full of shit", a rare breed which is full but ...

If I am not clear, I can elaborate more taking the above posted meme as an exemple.

Appologies for using a coloumn in Kamal thread. I just pray diapers don't crack here too.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Mappi...Though unconnected to the thread in general, that was probably the most apt explanation that one could give for a malaise that's come to rule the internet recently . While a few are genuinely funny and imaginative, most fall downright into the hitting below the belt category. Its personally hard for me to not detest a few. Anyways back to Kamal. Happy that things are moving towards a Feb release for UV. And KBs situation could be a factor in hastening the release efforts. Wish the great man gets to see the film on screen.

புன்னகை மன்னன் படத்தின் ஷூட்டிங் ஸ்பாட்.
தற்கொலைக்கு தயாராகி விட்டார் கமல். தனது காதலியின் கைகளை கோர்த்து கொண்டு மலை உச்சியில் இருந்து மடுவிற்குள் குதிக்கும் காட்சி. கமலை மரக்கிளையில் மாட்டியாகி விட்டது. நான் கமலிடம் சொன்னோன்: "காதலியின் பெயரை சொல்ல கூடாது. வசனம் ஏதும் இருக்கக்கூடாது. உன்னுடைய கதறல் மட்டும் தான் இருக்க வேண்டும். நீ பார்க்கும் போதே கீழே ரத்தம் ஆறாக ஓட , உனது காதலி அடிப்பட்டு செத்து கிடக்கிறாள். சட்டை கிளையில் மாட்டிக் கொண்ட நிலையில் உனது கதறல், உனது ஓலம், உனது உணர்சிகளின் வெளிபாடு , இந்த ஷாட் ஒரு மில்லியன் டாலர் ஷாட். உனது திறமை முழுவதும் இந்த ஷாட். இடைமறித்த கமல் , ரெடி சார் என்றார்.

இரண்டு காமிராக்கள் ஓடின. ஆக்ஷன் என்றவுடன், கமல் கதறினார் .... கதறினார். .... கதறிக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறார். ..... விதவிதமான கதறல்கள் ..... நினைத்து நினைத்து எழும் வித்தியாசமான அழுகை. யூனிட் முழுவதும் சில்லிட்டு நிற்கிறது. நான் பிரமித்து நின்றேன். எனக்கு கட் சொல்லவே தோன்றவில்லை. இப்படியும் ஒரு மரண ஓலம் இருக்க முடியுமா? என்னையே மறக்கிறேன். நான் கட் என்று கூட சொல்ல வில்லையே என்று கமல் கதறி கொண்டே இருக்கிறார். என் உதவியாளர் என்னை தொட்டு நினைவு படுத்தினார். நானும் உணர்சிவசப்பட்டு கண்களில் கண்ணீர் பொங்கி வர அழுதபடியே கட் சொன்னோன். எனது அழுகை நிற்க சிறிது நேரம் ஆனது. ஆனால் கட் சொன்ன அடுத்த வினாடியே கமல் கனவு உலகத்தில் இருந்து , நிஜ உலகத்திற்கு நொடியில் திரும்பி வந்தார். With him , acting is an act of child birth என்று தோன்றியது எனக்கு.

mappi, looks like my post disturbed you a lot. Otherwise I don't see any reason for such a detailed explanation on diaper games & striking shit :huh:
But your post looks so real that people who read it will sure believe it to be the origin of memes...lol :)

I agree with you that most of the memes going around the net are plain stupid.
I've removed that picture from my post. Cheers!

[hattori_hanzo]

UV, in simpler terms memes are just pictorial(or video) representations of jokes which are spread across the internet. There's nothing more to it. One of the earliest memes went viral was the 'Dancing Baby' video which you can see in the song 'Oh Maria' from Kadhalar Dinam.
Some Vijay/Ajith/Surya fans in FB and Twitter have been creating these memes, to attack their fav actor's opponents and their fans by spreading these picture. You can see a lot of these being created and circulated, after a movie release or even trailer release - mostly made out of low-resolution Vadivelu, Vivek or Vijayakanth movie images. Search for the term #lingumemes in google to get a clear picture of what meme means in TN.

Memes can be as cute as this too:

[mappi]

Hattori_Hanzo,

Certainly not that way. We had a lot of interesting discussion in the recent past from Kamal to Hitchcock. I will be the last person to get disturbed by your post and if at all, I know that I can contact you thru PM and clear things out. Actually, I was already irked about these memes/trolls for a while now. Unmai Villambi just gave me an opening to pour it out thats all.

(naan oru peg potachi, irrundhalum Cheers ! ... LoL)

[Nasc]

guess its relevant to post here as kamal is usually the victim of these type of araajagams

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-17/sony-cancels-the-interview-release-as-theaters-back-out.html

will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future now that this case has set a precedence of a studio giving up...

[Arvind Srinivasan]

^ The issue is pertinent to Kamal for sure. It is sad to see exhibitors giving in to the demands. I was sure AMC theatres wouldnt be screening the movie. Its headquarters is in China and China has a healthy relationship with North Korea. But it is surprising to see Regal and other theatre companies take the same stand. With the exhibitors backing out, I guess Sony had no choice but to stop the release. A good way to get some profit out of this would be to make it available through DTH. With this issue, I am sure a good number would be ready to watch it on telly.

[Nasc]

^yes I was also thinking about the DTH option sony might have ....with so many made for home hits in netflix etc it sure can reap some from the publicity it has gained now...

but this in general is not a good sign..a few more cases like this and probably the govt will step in ..

[Arvind Srinivasan]

This is sort of different. Never have I seen a foreign government perpetuate an intellectual theft this openly. In a way its more scary cause its not the people of a government that are plotting against the release but the government itself.

[irir123]

yes this sets a bad precedent - something like this happening with a mainstream Hollywood film is unheard of (?) - wonder what the big production houses in Hollywood must be pondering now

[hattori_hanzo]

Hattori_Hanzo,

Kamal Haasan: My best roles came from Balachandersaab

December 18, 2014 14:54 IST

'I am an actor because he made me one.'

Kamal Haasan on his mentor, director K Balachander, who is seriously ill in hospital. K Balachander, who introduced superstars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan to the movies, is critically ill in a Chennai hospital. Kamal Haasan, who is currently in Los Angeles working on his film Uttama Villain, has been checking on his mentor's health.

"Balachandersaab is my guru, mentor and guide," says Kamal Haasan. "I am an actor because he made me one. He is stable, but still critical."

Kamal Haasan started his career as a clapper boy on Balachander's sets and grew into a formidable actor under the director's attention.

"Our bond goes far beyond the usual director-actor relationship. We are guru and shishya. A lot of what I have learnt about filmmaking comes from Balachandersaab. He is a towering institution for all of us."

In 1973, this prolific director offered Kamal Haasan a walk-on part in his Tamil film, Arangentram and its Hindi version, Aaina. They later collaborated on several Tamil and Telugu hits like Apoorva Ragangal, Maro Charithra and its Hindi version, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, which marked Kamal Haasan's debut in Hindi cinema.

"If you look carefully in Aaina, you will see me as the thin clapper boy in the song Jaane Kya Ho Jaaye Jab Dil Se Dil Takraaye," Kamal Haasan says with a laugh.

Kamal Haasan played himself in Balachander's Paarthale Paravasam, starring Madhavan. Recalls the actor, "When Balachandersaab visited me on the sets of Abhay in Chennai, everyone in my crew was agog. Why had the master come to the pupil? The minute he asked me to make a guest appearance in his hundredth film, I said yes. How could I not be part of such a historic event in the life of a person who means so much to me?"

"It was a very comic sequence where in a public gathering my toupee flies off," he adds.

The actor becomes sentimental about his mentor, with whom he has done 35 movies. "The best roles and opportunities in my career came from Balachandersaab," he says.

[kumarsr]

It will be best if UV gets released soon. It will be a great tribute. What timing!

[Chikatiloan]

RIP K balachander..he introduced & gave life to 2 legends in tamil industry and also gave life to 100's of good artist like prakash raj,etc which no other directors has done..My personal view -kamalhaasan in recent speech from LA clearly indicates he knows that KB cant survive anymore from words like "irattai artham edhuvum illaamal,mudinthaal ezhunthu vaarungal" ..knowing that he should have travelled to Chennai from LA to see KB at hospital..
anyway no one can take away the relationship between KB and KH..moochukku 1000 thadavai KB'ya pathi thaan KH pesuvaar..

[nickraman]

With KB's unfortunate passing in the news just now, this is just the promotional push UV has and they'll probably use it. Much like how saarugaan used yash chopra passing for his hindi movie in 2012.

KB at his best..

From old achieves:

"There are some established norms and values in the Indian tradition. In many cases these are not to be questioned, but simply to be followed. Carnatic music is one such area. Our forefathers had said that there are raagas for different parts of the day, and likewise for different moods and events. For example, the morning raaga is said to be Poobaalam; raaga for noon is Saaranga; raaga for evening time is Vasanthaa; raaga depicting mercy is Neeelambari; raaga used to declare war is said to be Kambeera Naatai; raaga for happy mood is Danyaasi; raaga for composing Venbaa is Sangarabharanam; raaga for composing Agaval Paa is Thodi; raaga that is most appropriate for Tamil music is Kalyani etc. This is very much explained in the movie Sampoorna Ramayanam. However Ilayaraja begged to differ, with what he considered valid reasons, of course. He said in many concerts that he does not believe in such rigid principles. He took a bold stand to affirm that what you compose in the morning is morning raga, and whatever you compose in the evening is raga for the evening. Likewise what you compose in the afternoon is afternoon raga, he said. He went against such norms. In many of his concerts Raja had mentioned that he was not in favour of subscribing to blind imitation of old thoughts.

Sindhu Bairavi (1985) is a film where Balachander was able to reflect the thoughts of Raja. That was not pre- planned, but just happened to be a mere co incident.

One may recollect the film Unnal Mudiyum Thamby which has some controversial messages hitting at hard proponents of carnatic music who never welcomed modernisation in the carnatic music. Kamal’s dialogue with Gemini Ganesan is quite thought provoking. That film has nothing to do with Raja, other than that Raja composed music. But Sindhu Biaravi is one which by a strange coincidence reflected his own thoughts, which very timely concurred with the thoughts of Balachandeer as well. Perhaps Balachander never harboured such thoughts on carnatic music. He could have invented such controversial thoughts for the movie.

The one scene where Suhashini challenges Sivakumar at a carnatic concert very much seem to reflect the thoughts of Ilayaraja. Compared to any other MDS of recent times, Raja had fathomed into the very bottom of folk tunes as no one else. He had mastered the field of folk tunes and was unearthing the old and untold intricacies of folk music. Therefore he was more than the only qualified MD in recent times to compare and contrast carnatic music with folk music. Deep inside, Raja felt that all the emotions, feelings and depth found in the carnatic songs are adequately, if not, equally available in the folk tunes. This movie was produced at a time when Raja was extremely busy. He had no time to sit with big banner producers like K. Balachander to discuss song creation. But he availed himself for this Sindu Bhairavi. Balachander told the situation where Suhashini sings folk song and suddenly, and most unexpectedly switches to Carnatic tune. Raja understood the concept and went home to work on his imagination. Within 24 hours Raja came with what became the biggest controversy in his career. What Raja came out with was simply mind boggling. He not only captured the thoughts of Balachander, but also created a great controversy.

The song was picturised. The same musicians who played for carnatic song, played for folk tune, using the same instruments. Chitra starts with folk tune alright. But when she switched to singing suras she starts to sing Mari Mari Ninne, the Thiagaraya Keerthanai. All along this keerthanai was sung in Kamboji raga. But here Raja changed it to Saaramathy Raga. There was a volcanic eruption in Tamilnaadu. The proponents of Carnatic raga erupted with emotions, alleging and accusing that Raja was killing the very foundation and roots of carnatic music. They argued that while Thiagarayar had sung the keerthana in Kamboji raaga, Ilayaraja had switched it to Saaramathy raaga. Raja immediately retorted and replied, and even questioned them. He asked if any one could prove to him beyond any reasonable doubt if Thiagarayar did actually sing Mari Mari Ninne in Kamboji raaga. He threw another open challenge. He asked them to provide a list of all keerthanas and prove if they had been sung in the specific raagas as understood for ages. He threw an open challenge asking anyone to come forward to prove that. That challenge was not taken up by anyone until this day. Raja broke blind imitation.


Ilayaraja received national award for this film. Chitra too received national award, though I believe this was only her fifth Tamil film. Chitra had to decide between her MA final examinations and the recording of this song. Finally she sang it and bagged the coveted national award. It was not usual for Raja to appear for victory celebrations. But he did turn up for the victory celebrations of Sindu Bairavi. When he spoke, he said he turned out all for the respect he had for K. Balachander. "

For me aalavanthaan is one of the worst movie by kamalhaasan and watched only twice since its release..effort wise kamalhaasan has done its best but overall i didnt like the movie like few fans..

But when big shots like KB are appreciating the movie and hollywood director like Quentin Tarantino inspired by the movie wondering am i missing something?

Paying tributes to the departed soul in person is a mark of respect.
No doubt.
But there is a habit of spreading amongst the community and society to project negative notions on those who could not make it for the reasons best known to them or unavoidable.
This should be stopped. Because a person is not able to make it to visit in person, it should not be deemed that he is not honest.

Let this arrogant approach stop from at least now.

தசாவதாரம் வெளிவருவதற்கு முதல் நாள், பிரத்தியேக காட்சிக்கு அழைத்திருந்தார் கமல். படம் பார்த்தேன். திரைப்படத்தின் தாக்கத்தில் இருந்து மீண்டு வர முடியவில்லை. அரங்கத்திற்கு வெளியே நின்று கொண்டிருந்த கமலின் கையை பிடித்து முத்தம் கொடுத்து, இரண்டு வார்த்தைகளை சொல்லி விட்டு வந்தேன். "கமல்...... ஒன்லி கமல்! " என்று ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் கமல் நிரூபித்து வருகிறார். கமல் தசாவதாரத்தில் விஸ்வரூபம் எடுத்திருக்கிறார் என்று தோன்றியது எனக்கு. நம்பமாட்டீர்கள்... அன்று இரவு முழுவதும் நான் தூங்கவே இல்லை. மீண்டும் மீண்டும் என் கண்ணுக்குள்ளேயே கமலின் பத்து அவதாரங்களும் நிழலாடிக்கொணடே இருந்தன. நடு நடுவில் "கல்லை மட்டும் கண்டால்" பாடலின் போது கமல் மேலே தொங்கும் அந்த மில்லியன் டாலர் ஷாட்டுகள்தான் வந்து போய்கொண்டிருந்தன.

what a superb movie PK is. Amir has the guts to pick at the bad effects of all religious practices. he covered almost all absurd evils in the name of religion, be it conversion by christian mission, fatwa by muslim clerics and of course 'magical deeds' performed by hindu gurus. kudos to the PK team.

why this post here? i would love to see KH adopts the same fearless tact while criticizing mad religious practices existing in india, not only Hinduism.

[venkkiram]

UV has become now days a real UV to Kamal. You compare AK with KH? Let AK associate with any knowledgeable creators in India and come up with one that's closer or half of what Mahanathi , Hey Ram, Devar Magan amd Virumandi being shaped. Then we can discuss here about AK here.

what a knee jerk reaction. that wasn't the point he was making. he appreciated Amir's fearless approach of exposing extreme and often illogical practices and wished Kamal adapts a similar approach. Don't think he was comparing the total body of work by both.

[venkkiram]

Me too talking in the same context.

[avavh3]

no venki sir..ur on wrong track here. as parani pointed out, i would be a fool to compare AK with KH film performance wise. i was only pointing out the risk AK has taken despite a muslim himself to be unbiased in criticizing all. i am proud to be UV to KH..UV=Unmai Vilambi

[radiochandra1977]

I agree to the point. But partially only .......... AK is a muslim and he targeted Hindu customs 95 percent and to be politically correct 5 percent the rest. And that 95 percent os usually a tolerant lot other than the minority saffron extreme thinkers. Whereas KH is a Hindu and if he does a 95 percent criticism of Muslims, he will either be suicide bombed or the movie will release in 2034.

let me be frank. my anger is a recent one after watching anbe sivam. he will show one character always uttering thennadudaiya sivane potri and doing all atrocities and show christians as real angels sent by God to save earthly ppl. i was really disturbed by the selective amnesia kind of always projecting one religion and its followers in bad light. as u rightly pointed out 95 percent us are usually a tolerant lot.

while I see what you mean - Kamal as a creative artiste has every right to do what he pleases - its upto the fans / patrons to either accept or reject what he says/shows.

btw, we don't need Kamal to tell us abt the crusades (Christian-Muslim clashes from the past), or the kind of faith-healing nonsense being perpetuated on the unsuspecting Indian mass by modern day evangelicals (with generous funding from abroad, which many ppl rightfully question), or the sheer irrationality/laughability of the belief of the virgin birth etc - the stupidity behind such beliefs are fairly obvious and Kamal doesn't have to point them out to us.

take a look at this - http://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/16521/IN

"Prayer Points
* Brahmins are a key community in India who uphold Hinduism. Please pray that the light of the gospel breaks through the veil that blinds this community.
* Pray that the true God will reveal Himself to this community and use Brahmins to preach and teach about Jesus Christ."

can it get any more condescending / patronizing than this ?? after seeing such BS, its no wonder that (hindutva) groups are up in arms !

also btw, the Joshua Project, FYKI has its origins in Colorado Springs, the same place that was home to one Ted Haggard - the anti-gay pastor who was caught with his pants down screwing a male prostitute (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Haggard).

so Joshua project wants to export such 'esoteric. eclectic, supreme' culture to India !

andha yaeweh, illa, allah, illa, lord labakudas thaan namma makkala kaappaathhanum !

UV:

why do you think there is such a huge opposition to the proposed anti-conversion law/ban (which already is in vogue in a few states) ?

its because there are groups whose only pozhappu is conversion and they get paid (from abroad) to do this job - if the anti-conversion law comes into force, they will be jobless and hence the hue and cry.

same goes to immigration issue in Assam - Bangladeshis come into the country in droves looking for jobs - nothing wrong with that - but they are competing with the locals for the resources - it doesn't help that bangladesh happens to be predominantly islamic and keeps its ppl illiterate and unemployed - wait until this issue blows up as well.

AK should have the guts to address these issues

[avavh3]

Joshuva..OMG..

[leosimha]

Nice discussions from various fellow Hubbers. Though I resonate the same words of UV but I would like to counter by saying that AK is a calculative risk taker for commercial success where as KH is also a calculative risk taker but comes out with hurting the sentiments of section of a community i.e. so called upholder of hindu religion as cited by the Joshua project.

AK's PK was a satire on all the religions but for most part Hinduism. And this was done beautifully in a comic sense. And am surprised to see the various factions of Hinduism groups targeting it. Since he has projected 95% about Hinduism; he has overdone it. If it was going to be 95% about Islam or Christianity; I am sure the movie wouldn't have met with commercial success despite facing various backlashes from the religious communities. Delhi imam would have issued fatwa etc etc. I don't know why PK film had the rolling credits of AOL guru at the start. Is it for that swamiji?

[leosimha]

There is very wrong pre-conceived notions about various religions by the filmmakers be it about Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and other world religions. We always tend to take a certain part of it and discuss it by making it a movie for some commercial success.

UV - the logic is very straightforward:

the Judeo-christian abrahamic religions are monotheistic - judaism is an exception in the sense that most jews are either agnostic or atheistic progressive - given their monotheistic nature, there is an element of absolutist foundation to those doctrines - either us or nothing else.

OTOH, the word Hinduism was attributed to a collection of various belief systems prevalent on the other side of the Sindh river - dvaitam, advaitam,vedantam, jainism, buddhism (and its derivatives in china and elsewhere) came from a polytheistic culture constantly evolving.

A polytheistic culture (despite its inherent flaws as can be seen in our society) would have no problem in accepting yet another version of the supreme/supernatural - but a monotheistic tradition can never accept a polytheistic culture coz its a classic case of "vachha kudumi serachha motttai" "naan pudhiccha muyalukku naappathu kaal" etc!

thats WHY both Islam and Christianity have had problems throughout history either with each other or with others - Christopher Hitchens's "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" is a brilliant take on this issue - the historical facts Hitchens presents are mind-boggling (sample this: while the Nazis several of whom owed allegiance to the catholic church were on a murderous rampage, the Catholic church expelled one of them, Joseph Goebbels - guess for what ? for marrying a divorced protestant, not for being a Nazi! they did and do have their standards, don't they ?).

however, inspite of such things, Christianity has constantly been in conflict with modern science and humanistic values (beginning with the likes of philosopher/intellectuals such as Lucretius, Spinoza etc) and has been reforming itself - Islam has been an island for long and the likes of ISIS, al qaeda, al nusra, al shabbaab, boko haraam, janjaweed, and many other groups keep coming out of its outdated doctrines - thats coz of lack of reformation.

having said that, the former cannot rid itself of the culture of proselytization - particularly, the modern evangelical 'born again' groups that have their origins in the USA - some of the things these people do are ridiculous to the extreme (faith based demonstration handling poisonous snakes in the belief that the poison won't hurt them ! quite a few have died bitten by rattlesnakes and vipers; vicious indoctrination of small children with threat of hell, denial of scientific evidence for evolution, biblical literalism etc - if you ever get a chance to visit a pentecostal meeting, you will be guaranteed some outrageous entertainment - I have seen ppl performing break dances (a la Senthil/Goundamani) when the 'spirit' comes over them - seriously !) - it is jokers like these, who are funneling money into the Joshua project et al !

Islam OTOH begs to be recognized for its uniqueness and ultimate superiority - the salafists, wahabbis et al are rich from head to toe and are pumping this money into groups like Hamas, and others in Pakistan, while the other side, the shias are pumping money into groups like hezbollah etc. The danger lies in even educated men/women choosing NOT to critically question their own beliefs.

again the understanding here is completely wrong on hinduism. hinduism is a generic coined word and corrupted form by the westerners though it is true that it has been coined based on the people's tradition and culture and way of life living in the region of Sindhu river....but the way of life was very prevalent in most parts of india i.e. bharatham

jainism and budhism are totally different from so called hinduism defined....

hinduism might have different braches but it certainly is not polytheistic culture in general....but the ways of life of different communities in hinduism is clearly visible...

you are only repeating what I said - in different words - I said Hinduism is a loose term given to a collection of various belief systems on the other side of the Sindh River.

all these various 'isms' though they may have differences, have their core values - from a humanistic as well as a seeking perspective in contemplating the nature of reality and consciousness - that are shared.

the very fact that 'hinduism' includes sanata dharma, as well as the various other systems and the 1000s of gods makes it very polytheistic in nature.

OTOH, its is either one god Allah or nothing else - Islam, Yaeweh and his son Jesus or nothing else (Christianity). There are tons of verses from both traditions - particularly the former that openly admonish ppl who do not choose that path (kaafirs / infidels), while the latter is more subtle.

Adherents of Islam follow different codes of politics mixed with their beliefs based on written doctrine:

Dar al-Islam: Islamic cultures wherein Muslims represent the majority of the population and hence can influence the govt to be islamic;

Dar al-Harb: referring to those countries where the Muslim law is not in force, in the matter of worship and the protection of the faithful and Dhimmis.

Dar al-Hudna: The land of non-believers currently under a truce, which is a respite between wars. A truce is bought by tribute or agreement. If the harbis break the conditions for the truce, hostilities are resumed or after ten years, which ever comes first. Furthermore, only treaties that conform to Islamic prescriptions are valid; if these conditions are not fulfilled, the treaty is worthless.

Dar al-'Ahd: refers to the Ottoman Empire's relationship with its Christian tributary states. Today, the term refers to those non-Muslim governments which have armistice or peace agreements with Muslim governments. The actual status of the non-Muslim country in question may vary from acknowledged equality to tributary states.

Dar al-Dawa: refers to a region where the religion of Islam has recently been introduced. Since the population had not been exposed to Islam before, they may not fit into the traditional definition of dar al-Harb. On the other hand, as the region is not yet Muslim, it cannot be dar al-Islam either. The most frequent use of the term dar al-Dawa refers to Arabia before and during the life of Muhammad commonly referred as Jahiliyyah period, era of ignorance of divine guidance.

there is another concept called "dhimmī" - referring to non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state. 'dhimmis' are allowed right of residence in an islamic states - their rights are fully protected in their communities, but as citizens in the Islamic state, had certain restrictions; they were excused or excluded from specific duties assigned to Muslims, did not enjoy certain political rights reserved for Muslims, and were subject to payment of a special tax (jizyah), but were otherwise equal under the laws of property, contract and obligation.

Under sharia law, dhimmi status was originally applied to Jews, Christians, and Sabians. This status later came to be applied to Zoroastrians, Mandaeans, Hindus and Buddhists. Eventually, the Hanafi, the largest school of Islamic legal thought, applied this term to all non-Muslims living in Islamic lands outside the sacred area surrounding Mecca, in modern-day Saudi Arabia.

so Unmai Vilimbi, there you go !

take all of the above "Dar-al" concepts and marry them with the sharia law and tons of barbaric practices such as stoning women to death for adultery, murdering women if they were not virgins on the night of their wedding, killing ppl for apostasy (leaving Islam) - all of which btw are accepted in many levels of Pakistani society which btw only happens to be Islamic - what you then get is the total no of countries in which a majority of the 1 billion plus muslim population live!

why should it surprise anyone that educated men/women representing one form or the other of islam even today are willing to join the ISIS in creating a global caliphate ??

for all those liberal intellectuals - viz Arundhati Roy and the other marxist idiots in India and elsewhere - the above should tell them how free and open those societies are ! the very fact that these morons can bad mouth a culture as open and welcoming as India represents, is testimony to our accepting nature!

there is also a recent trend of - evangelical missionaries - doing every bit to hijack the idea of 'universal brotherhood' as if they have the intellectual property right over it - right from thirukkural (or even before) and after, there is literature that profoundly speaks of this idea in many ways - but if they accepted this, then they cannot pursue their goals of harvesting souls since they would then lose a big marketing leitmotif !

idhukku mela, kalki avatharamthaan yesu, sanskrithhathulaye virgin birth pathhi slokam yezudhirukkaam, Jesus oru kaala kattathil kashmiril irundhaaraam ! there are many such jokes being floated around - yenna ippdi senjaa thaaney, mavusu yaerum

[irir123]

unmai vilimbi :

here is another 'intellectual' from the US - a transplant from India btw !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_ujW89_b50

Dinesh d'Souza in his desperate attempt to embolden his chosen faith, liberally spouts venom on something else.

I admit, he is factually correct in many of his points, but he gets ugly when he says "am ok that the portuguese inquisitors came to India".

this rabid bigot conveniently ignores the fact that Westernization did NOT happen in the West because of his religion, but IN SPITE OF IT!

the moron doesn't acknowledge the role of great thinkers / philosophers who were constantly in battle with the church to reform it.

this gent is now serving time in a correctional facility after being found guilty of campaign funding fraud - also he was caught with his pants down screwing his mistress while still married to another - so much for the 'values of his faith' he so proudly represents.

so bear this in mind - this guy represents the spectrum of evangelical missionaries and their likes with their not very noble intentions - the only way they can paint themselves white, is to paint other cultures black!

PS: look up many of his debates with Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, Sam Harris, Susan Jacoby, David Silverman et al - in almost all of these debates Dinesh makes it a point to how India was reformed by the missionaries and islam as well (paaaru paaaru pattanam paaaru) and in all of these debates, he gets royally screwed by his opponents.

Also in one of his debates, during the question and answer session, someone from the audience asked "you are from India, a country in which Islam was spread by the sword, through several centuries - beginning with Muhammad bin Qasim whose acts were nothing short of a genocide - and yet, you conveniently choose to ignore such historical facts" - Dinesh was speechless - the man who questioned him is a professor in world history and it was a welcome slap on Dinesh's face!

[irir123]

anyways, most ppl dont go into their respective beliefs/faiths very deep - which is good in a way - that makes them almost agnostic and unaware of all the deeper darkness.

its unfair to expect filmmakers to dwell this deep - they can at the most show how these beliefs impact ones actions

2015 could well be the year of Kamal Haasan, with atleast three of his films (Uttama Villain, Papanasam, Vishwaroopam-2) slated for release. The first one is likely to be Uttama Villain, a comedy-drama that will feature the Ulaganayagan and a host of other actors. The late legendary filmmaker K. Balachander will appear on the big screen for the last time in this movie.

An interview with Sujatha

This interview appeared in India on the Net (INET)

SujathaSujatha is the nom de plume of Rangarajan, a computer engineer by profession and a writer by vocation. He is the Tamil novelist with the largest number of stories converted into films. He has worked with topdirectors K Balachandar in 'Ninaithale Inikkum,' Mani Ratnam in 'Roja,' Shankar in 'Indian' and Bharathi Raaja in 'Nadodi Thendral.'

He has been closely associated with Kamal Hassan right from Raj Kamal International's maiden venture 'Vikram.' And it was he who ignited the spark in Kamal for 'Marudha Naayagam.' He is now working with Mani Ratnam for 'Dil Se,' starring Shah Rukh Khan and Manisha Koirala.

Q: Are you happy with the way your stories have been filmed?

To be frank, no. Not only I, no writer has ever been happy with the way his/her stories have been converted into films. Asked to give his reaction after his novels were filmed, Hemingway put it succinctly: "Take the money and run." Sathyajit Ray's 'Pather Panchali' is a great film, but the original writer was not happy with it. Hitchcock once said that he would just read the novel he wanted to film, throw away and would never get back to it again during the making of the film.

I am certainly not blaming the directors. It is just that the medium is different. Compared to those who see the film, the readers are a minuscule percentage. Probably my novels would have been read by 30-40 lakh people, but the films were seen by crores. In a medium like cinema where the stakes are high, compromises are unavoidable. They don't affect me. People who have read my novels are unhappy with the film versions, but those who have not read them are happy with the films. That in itself explains the differencein audience tastes.

Q: The two stories you wrote exclusively for films for two top directors, K Balachandar and Bharathi Raaja, flopped. What do you say?

Sujatha'Ninaithale Inikkum' for Balachandar was the first script I wrote for a film. Before that, my stories had been filmed, but I had not played any role in writing the screenplay or dialogue. For 'Ninaithale Inikkum,' I had written a totally different kind of screenplay. Unfortunately, owing to constraints like star dates, Balachandar did not follow my script exactly. He made several changes and looked at the film as an opera on the lines of Abba. My original script was lively and if it had been faithfully followed,it would have been a model screenplay. Anyway, no regrets and I enjoyed working with Balachandar, his assistant Ananthu, Kamal and Rajni.

The same was the case with Bharathi Raaja's 'Nadodi Thendral.' The original story I gave was about the assassination of a collector and I had put in a lot of effort. But Bharathi Raaja changed it into an ordinary triangular love story set in the pre independence backdrop.

I don't blame the directors for these failed projects. As I told you. the target audiences are different and the directors know the medium better.

Director ShankarManirathinamMy most satisfying efforts were Mani Ratnam's 'Roja' and Shankar's 'Indian,' though I wrote only the dialogue forthese films. 'Roja' especially was a gratifying experience because I participated in all the discussions during its making. For 'Indian,' the director did the thinking , gave me the sequence order and after I wrote the dialogue, Shankar would choose what he wanted.

Q:Was it you who suggested the 'Marudha Naayagam' story to Kamal?

In a way 'yes'. For the last 7 or 8 years Kamal had been searching for the right story to make a historical. He even had plans of doing a historical musical on the lines of 'Ambikapathi' and toyed with the ideaof making a film which had only verses for dialogue. While he was examining so many ideas, I suggested why not we go into immediate past history instead of going to ancient period.

MarudanayagamIt was around that time I came across a folk ballad edited by Tamil scholar Vanamamalai and published by Madurai Kamaraj University. Impressed by the ballad, I showed it to Kamal to find out if it has the potential of a good film. Kamal was initially reluctant, but agreed to go through the ballad.

In the elaborate and excellent introduction was a footnote which said, "This Yousuf Khan was originally a Hindu Vellala called Marudha Naayagam. Kamal immediately jumped at it and felt that the story had all the potential of a good historical film. Kamal felt that the religious conversion could be owing to some social oppression and that would form a good subject for filming.

Q: The story of Marudha Naayagam is relatively unknown...

Marudha Nayagam MovieWe chose the life of Marudha Naayagam for its substantial story element and episodic content. His is not a conventional story of a king. Starting his life as a supplier to the French Army, he sneaks through enemy lines with messages effortlessly. The French train him and the British, spotting his talent, elevate him to the position of a tax collector of Madurai district, only to hang him for disobedience to the British Raj just one year after his rise to the top. It is this stunning elevation from the lowest level and again touching the nadir, this graph of Marudha Naayagam's life, that interested Kamal to make it into a film.

As for deviations, nearly 80% of the film will faithfully adapt Hills' biography of Marudha Naayagam. Only on certain aspects, where no solid or substantial information is available, have we used our imagination.

For instance, no reason is available for Marudha Naayagam's conversion to Islam. Here Kamal has worked back on the character and has imagined the reasons for his conversion beautifully.

Q: Don't you foresee the danger of 'Marudha Naayagam' being compared to Sivaji Ganesan's 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' (a folk tale)?

Kamal can stand the comparison easily because he is not going to follow Sivaji Ganesan's style. Knowing well about Kamal's yen for perfection and precision, we can be sure that the level of realism in 'Marudha Naayagam' will be high. There is no question of any Indian actor playing a foreigner as Javer Sitaraman did in 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' and spoke his lines in broken Tamil. In 'Marudha Naayagam' wherever the British or French officers speak, Kamal, I think, is planning to para dubbing to give it an authentic touch.

Q: Do you think 'Marudha Naayagam,' a film with a distinct nativeflavour, can have a national or an international audience?

Marudhanayagam TitleWhy not? 'Marudha Naayagam' may be a historical character, but he is not a larger than life character. It is a story which depicts a man with all his strengths and weaknesses. 'The rise and fall of a man' is the one line story of 'Marudha Naayagam,' a plot that will interest anyone in any part of the world. When films like 'Jurassic Park' can run for its grandeur and technical brilliance, the same can be said of 'Marudha Naayagam' which will be made using state of the art techniques. Kamal is adopting the linear narrative style where through off screen narration a person tells the background of Marudha Naayagam, the historical context of the story and so on.

Q: Kamal is supposed to be following the Hollywood style in writing the screenplay of the film. Could you explain that?

I think for the first time in India, a computer has been used in screenplay writing, a method usually adopted by Hollywood film makers. Various software are available for this and Kamal is using a particularsoftware called 'Movie Magic.' All the information about the movie can be accessed with it..

Q: What is you actual input in 'Marudha Naayagam'?

I created the Tamil fonts for 'Movie Magic.' I am also overseeing the screenplay written by Kamal. In Hollywood films, you have a 'screenplay doctor' and that is the role I'm playing.


Q: What are your other assignments?

I am working for Mani Ratnam's 'Dil Se'. For this film, Mani Ratnam has given me the plot and has asked me to make it into a story. He has told me not to bother about its conversion into film which he would take care of. He just wants to see how I visualise this story. We are planning to release the book and movie simultaneously. Already one schedule is over.

Director AR GandhiKrishnaA still from 'Engineer' movie: actor Aravind SwamyShankar's Assistant AR Gandhikrishna is making a film called 'Engineer' with Madhuri Dixit and Arvindsamy in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Its also an interesting film I'm working.

Kamal Haasan's tribute to KB and ...
Dec 29, 2014
Kamal Haasan's love and respect for his guru K.Balachander is personified again. Having grown in the industry under the strong influence of KB, Kamal attributes almost all of his success to his Godfather.

KB was a path-breaking theater personality before he transformed into a master director. His hey-days comprised of writing plays and staging them. The then aspirant Kamal also had the theater experience influencing his acting to a larger extent, through Avvai Shanmugam and Balachander sir.

Now Kamal is giving it back. The 'Uttama Villain' has decided to start a theater troupe as a tribute to both of his gurus, rightly naming it as Balashanmugam.

Films as a medium emerged from theater groups and it's nice to strengthen the roots and go back to the basics. Kamal always sets the first and the best example.

[radiochandra1977]

Expressions of someone who has seen it all ........ the 17th time maruthanayagam revival is beong talked about ....... a few years back it was Maniratnam to direct KH and RK together ..... then it was a multistarrer with KH, nagarjuna, mamooty etc etc. Did KH tell anyone that he is reviving maruthanayagam next ? Appadi sollura varaikkum pagal kanavula kottai katturathu already ventha punnula vela paachiraa mathiri irukku. Thats all. Nothing personal against anyone. Just my frustrations. Sorry.

Like how Chandra n pushpak mentioned, irukkarutha vittutu parakarathukku aasapada venaam thonuthu...Let's just wait till the news gets confirmed from Kamal himself.

[venkkiram]

Not sure how true this marudhanayakam project revival news. Anyway, am looking forward to it. Considering Kamal age factor and Marudhanayakam character needs, it's a project not to be delayed any further as completion of it would take minimum 3 years. No more quickee. Start to finish.. complete Maruthan and then move on to next. If it's not taking off in 2015, let Kamal openly say that this project is buried.

+1. If Marudhanayakam is not getting restarted in 2015, it is difficult for KH to play the character later. Let us hope for the best. But to start the Marudhanayakam, the 3 movies which are already completed should be released in 2015.

Kamal visits KB’s family
Actor Kamal Haasan visited his mentor late K. Balachander’s home to offer his condolences to the departed legend’s family.

The actor wasn’t able to attend the funeral last Wednesday as he was in the United States for the post-production work of Uttama Villain.

“No director has contributed as much as he has to Tamil cinema, in terms of finding and nurturing talents. The extensive time I have spent with them has given me the currency which I use till today. He is incomparable. He made films which made youngsters wonder if they too can make such films. K. Balachander is living inside all of us. It is important for us to continue his good work,” he said.

When asked when Uttama Villain, in which Mr. Balachander will be seen playing a role, is scheduled to release, the actor said it was in the hands of the producer.

It seems sreedhar pillai changed his loyalty towards kamal it seems..he used to rajni a lot and spread negative news for kamal..but now its opposite..rajni fans abused him like they abused many writers for writing negative review(infact correct review) abt Lingaa..may be that changed him..

lack of sleep / exercise for a week plus jet lag & travel - not that he is 25 !

[Arvind Srinivasan]

The guy is 60+. What do you expect. Like irir said, guess he's been out of his exercise regime for an extended period of time. He looked better in one of his videos where he wishes Rajni on his birthday. The padiya vaarina hairstyle looks slightly odd though. Looks like an attempt to hide his bald spot at the back.

[avavh3]

Hope Namavvar also understands that?? what u want to drive at boss? for a decade he never did dancing around trees with his heroins. making all attempts to look young and energetic is a task every one does.
this torrent of his photos in that link where he looked his real age shocked me thats all.

KH took to method acting way back in the 1970s when it was unheard of ! and has only taken it to further heights

comparing him with the likes of AK is a grave insult to many art forms.

BO success or not, KH will always be a star - his professional etiquette to be emulated as none others!

While I dont discount kudi-beedi-lady thingy - they sure pull you down but genetics plays a huge role as to how someone ages. Obviously not is one's control. Mamooty/Mohanlal are approaching 60 as well and still look good despite the vices they may have/may have had. Also speaking of Hollywood stars, very few age gracefully. I'm not sure if Stalone or Arnold are in that list due to their steroid use earlier. Anyways.

genetics play a huge role - but abusing alcohol and cigarette with minimal exercise - is suicidal

back in 1994-95 I guess, SR was re-released in Pilot theatre (Royapettah) - went there for a Sunday evening show to find it houseful and returned disappointed!

being a low budget movie, Mahanadi surely would have made money .. obviously u cant compare with a high budget commercial movie ..

Just read 'neighboring' thread and im really concerned about the houch-pouch scenario, since 3 movies of KH will release one by one.

was that movie really a flop?
can a RK movie will have empty seats in 2nd day itself?
had some person with vested interest sabotaged its running?
what really went wrong with distribution business?
is this a healthy tradition which amounts to blackmailing a star and team?
one final question..what should KH do to avoid this mess before releasing his movies in pipeline?

For last 2 points -how can blackmailing a star is healthy tradition??
And KH cant be blackmailed easily ,he is very dangerous person to tackle with(remember VR issue how he tacked it) because he will be cunning if the situation demanded to escape from person who blackmailed him..
To avoid the mess KH movies must release with genuine price to distributors and in required number of theaters..KH knows his product well and accordingly the price has to be quoted and distributed/released in that number of theaters...
Kamalhaasan(or any actor) should not think about 100C,200C or record 1st day,week-end,overall collections before releasing..all they must think is profit to everyone Producer/Distributor/Exhibitors.. If everyone gets the profit then thats the real BO success..
From 3 movies i can surely say papanasam to be real BO success..

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B7TLdpSCQAAH8-I.jpg:large


UV- from what little i know - tamil films success rate is decided by their performance in the madurai-tirunelveli-palayamkottai-saathhoor-virudhunagar-theni-ramanathapuram areas - somehow a movie that does well in those areas will be doing well in Chennai-chenglepet areas as well - but not vice-versa ! (ex: ithayathai thirudaathey did super well in chennai but not as much in the madurai etc areas).

both Kamal and Rajini films have a big market deep south - I remember watching Aboorva sago second or third day in tirunelveli - houseful for a 11:30 AM show on a saturday. likewise Rajathi raja, and other Rajini films that did very well in that area were declared hits elsewhere.

Virumandi was huge in madurai etc areas - therefore its not surprising it had a successful run in chennai as well

[Murali Srinivas]

I don't want to hear 4 movies are ready and lined up for releases :-(

I don't know whether this has already been shared here. In last week's Kumudam [that came as a Ajith Special] where he regularly fields questions from VIPs, there is a querry from Ramesh Khanna asking about the latest status on all the three films because after a long time he is doing three films at the same time, Kamal had answered like this.

VR 2 - Shooting over last year. CG works have started.

Papanaasam - Shooting over. Post Production is going to start.

UV - Post Production is over and film is getting ready for release.

Then he adds a tongue in cheek comment saying that

"எனது அடுத்த படத்திற்கான ஆரம்பக் கட்ட வேலைகள் நடந்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. பிப்ரவரி இறுதியில் படப்பிடிப்பு துவங்கும்".

Maris Rock is to Trichy, what Devi is to Chennai, what Devi is to Hyderabad/Secunderabad, what Lido is to Bangalore, what Thangam (does it still exist?) or Cinipriya is to Madurai, what Santham Sapna & Santhosh are to Salem - most of these theaters have screened MGR/Kamal/Rajini blockbusters!

the theater am talking abt was in suburban Tirunelveli - very sleepy area - therefore 3rd day morning show houseful is special.

I recall watching AS in Kasi A/C (the A/C rarely worked) in Jafferkhanpet, Chennai, after 100 days completion and yet had to do advance booking!
AS was marana popular plus critically acclaimed - families went in droves, i heard a man (in his 70s!) telling his wife "andha kadasi scenela, avaru (Kamal) sirichikkittey, aanaa kannula andha valiyum ugrathhayum yennamaa kaamchaaru" ! that was poora paisa vasool for me that someone appreciated such nuances!

there used to be one Vijaya theater close to Kasi, where I watched 'Guru' (i was just out of toddlerhood) - was fond of horses (still am) and was adamant to go with other ppl in their 20s for the Kamal horse scene (IR did an ennio morricone with the whistle tune on a mrudangam base!) 'yen per sigappu roja' had the theater roaring in applause! theater was beyond houseful on a weekend after 100 days, and we were given dondanakka plastic chairs in between the aisles!

2) Vikram to Amy - "Idhu Kamal sir maadhiri kiss illa, kannaththula dhaan"

...and the best one is:-

Santhanam to Vikram - "Kamal fans Blood donate panranga, Vijay fans Arisi donate panranga..." Sooperabbu!!

Kamal clarifies on 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Vaamamargam'

'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan recently took to his personal YouTube account to reveal information on his 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Vaamamargam' projects. After there were reports and news flying around stating that both these projects are the same, Kamal decided to give a proper explanation regarding the matter.

Kamal addressed the question whether 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Vaamamargam' stories are same or different by saying he can't say anything at the moment now. He also stated if he never got to tell the story of 'Marudhanayagam', he would present it to us in his own style.

He quoted a conversation between him and PC Sreeram where PC said, "People know who Gandhi and Nehru are. But, how many people know about 'Marudhanayagam'? Will this work?" For which, Kamal responded by saying, "People may not be knowing who 'Marudhanayagam' is now. However, I have firm belief that everyone will come to know about 'Marudhanayagam' before the movie's release or after the movie gets released."

He then went on to speak about 'Vaamamargam' saying it was a story very dear to him. When asked about the title not being a Tamil title, he said, "The time has come for us to go international and that the film is going to be in world standards. He also said, "When you have a Tamil story which has a universal appeal, then you have to go with an appropriate title."

He then went on to say, "If you're going to make a film about Robert Clive or Shakespeare, then it is mandatory that you have to go with their names as the title rather than looking for a Tamil title."

In his final statement, Kamal stated that production work is progressing at a brisk pace and that work will commence soon for both 'Marudhanayagam' and Vaamamargam'.

MUSIC DIRECTOR G V PRAKASH KUMAR INTERVIEW


You are one of the very few composers who have worked with Rajini, Vijay, Ajith and Vikram. How has the journey been so far? The list will be complete if we add one more name to it (Kamal).
I am truly blessed to have worked with Ajith sir, that too in my second film at the age of 20 and also with Rajini sir for my 5th film and then later with Vijay sir for Thalaivaa. It is like a dream come true. I am also honored to have been associated with, one of my favorite film makers, Anurag Kashyap for Gangs Of Wasseypur Part 1 &2 and now for Ugly. I am striving hard to work with Kamal sir; I am just yearning to work with him and if given a chance I will grab it with both hands.

One Kamal sir movie you would like to remake?
Kamal sir is a legend and I don’t see any actor, who could do justice to his roles. All his movies are cult classics and it would be an achievement of sorts if you could manage to do even half of what he has done.

Thanks for posting Params.. I would like both of them to act and provide good entertainment to the audience as per their wish and without any pressure from any Tom Dick and harry... Comparison is unnecessary..

Yes me too, it would be a class like in the late 70's ! Rajni would be awesome in Negative roles, while Kamal would be an apt choice for a hero role. such as 16 vayathinile, Aval appadi thaan, Avargal , Moondru mudichu , ilamai oonjal aadukirathu, ..etc.

But this will never happen, because of the tremendous pressure from the stars fan(atics), especially for Rajni!

Fully agree. There's no need for any comparisons. Both have entertained me and others even later .. Rajini's Mullum-Malarum was a class apart. Kamal may not have done as well in that role. It was rumored to have him play SharatBabu's role initially. Similarly Thillu-Mullu .. Rajini with Thenga-Srinivasan was awesome all the way. I still discuss the comedy portions in that movie with my friends. Netrikann was another one .. Some not all of his later movies (super stardom movies)were entertaining as well.

Kamal cemented his cinema ideology through experimentation and did have flops. He didnt get bogged down or care about his star image. Kept going and continued giving movies out of the ordinary. Unfortunately Rajini became a victim of his established cult status .. doesnt have it in him to go off road. He could still try it .. he's after all a great actor who was recognized by KB came up his own from grassroots.

After a couple of Rajini flops, media and other are pouncing on him .. Forget about Kochadiyaan - its not a real movie. If the story is so-so, less thought out and hurriedly made, even Kamal could deliver duds. Have we forgotten MMA by KSR ? Infact Linga's returns far submerge MMA even now ... The business in Linga failed because of huge prices paid. On a moderate investment, it may have emerged atleast average or slightly above average. I'm thinking Rajini does not have the fire in him like before to act or give out more movies .. and may want to retire. But hope thats not true ...

Very good article..But i feel still RK can act like this in 2 movies with directors who will take 8 months to complete the movie..then may be he can switch to roles like what AB does or retire..Why they expect to break enthrian collections..enthiran is combination of RK,Shankr,ARR,Aish,SunTv,etc and to happen again it will take 3 years to complete the film which is not the need of the hour..RK can give hits like CM..both can retire on high note..
i dont know why many media is questioning like whether fans will accept RK acting other than larger than life image roles??
People accpeted him in Chandramuki which is not typical rajni film and purely character based so i feel everyone will accept him in roles that suit his age..

KH is totally different and he will act or direct till age of 70 atleast like AB/KB..

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Netrikann was another one .
Ah How did I forget that ? The Father Rajni was just Awesome!



Kamal cemented his cinema ideology through experimentation and did have flops.
yes infact I really liked all his "experimental " ventures than masala craps!, Hey ram, Aalavandhan, Kuruthi punal, ... wow



Unfortunately Rajini became a victim of his established cult status .
Yes he is probably the first victim to this after MGR , but as an actor MGR was no where near Rajni's Capabilities
