Chevalier Dr. Kamal Haasanin Mayyam - Part 9

[suivipa]

Yeah with Nasser it gets monotonous for us as we know he can carry any role and very predictable for the most part.
We need seasoned actors at the same time who can challenge our man on the sets and finally who can succeed doing many films in the future. Who gets a relaunching pad from Raajkamal.

Maddy was just ok in Naladhamayanthi. Again director Mouli could extract only that much. With Anbe Sivam maddy was a new avatar. You see Irudhi sutru and gives me a feeling confidence personified maddy this time.
In between Thambi and vettai had just energy but not outstanding elements of emotion body language and screen presence.
The seen where he overtakes kamal in AS is when they sit on the chair outside the Railway station and slow engagement turns into powerful argument and he shifts gears and gets on top succeeding in his ideology. The great performer on the otherhand maintains suttle reactions emoticons all from his cheek and sodaglass vision.
Do we have anyone let alone Indian cinema perform that scene just as kamal did?

Kurosawa kind of stuff. Realistic at the same time minimal and believable stuff!


Our man is the right blend of Marlon brando, Al pacino, chaplin and our Dileepkumar and Ultimate Sivaji Ganesan whom he reveres as his first SUN on his horizon and attributes all of it to the path SG laid in the formative years.

With the next I am ok if it is laced with humor and still engages in a new topic relevant to today. We cannot get a complete comedy movie any more. Sathileelavathi is the last in that genre.
Doing a full 2 hours of comedy movie is not going to be viable for any content.
When things get into slapstick comedy then the super actor disappears and we see pale characterization. Vasoolraja MBBS was good in parts but no depth in the characterization that he is known for.
