For instance, we were into post-production a year after the film's shooting was completed,��� he says. ���It���s not a usual, run of the mill film. It took a lot of time to get the film together.
Here’s wishing the very best to him and the movie, Ten times.In Ravichandran's words, he had decided on the project as far back as in 1996. I sincerely hope (I swear I do) that Dasavatharam does turn out great and adds another feather for Kamal. Most times, those little guys make him write smart-ones heavy doses of philosophy from Socrates to that fellow called Nietzsche and humor so forced, it’s like keeping a straight face while gulping down a concentrate of neem juice. With ‘Crazy’, Kamal has a writing team, without him, there are little guys running around in his head. It’s just not the same without ‘Crazy’ Mohan? I’m serious. There’s something about making movies away from home that removes logic and common sense from them. Barring very few exceptions, even the best of our directors loose their focus when they shift oversees. Not that it’s a crime, but such a process mostly ends up having the regional aesthetics diluted. Every now and then he’s been trying to reach out to the Pan-Indian crowd, for excuses ranging from gaining recognition to budget. Pandering to North-Indian audience is not new to Kamal. Thank goodness someone had the sense to bring in Devi Sreeprasad to score the background music. Apart from “Kallai Mattum…” and “Mukunda…”, the songs suck big time.

The guy’s ceased to appeal to his own constituency long ago and they want us to believe that he can satiate the Tamil crowd! IMO, the only reason he’s even there is to help sell the movie to a North-Indian audience. Aah Ahhhhaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Andavaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I shudder to imagine Kamal strutting out his ‘amerikan’ accent.
If that’s true I believe it, after watching the trailer. He reportedly plays a White person (w/ negative shades) and George Dubya Bush. Now, five reasons Dasavatharam may make me hate Kamal all over:Īs talented as he is, Kamal does and will go overboard (to what degree is the question) with certain roles in the movie. If the trailer is any measure, Kamal and Ravikumar have packed enough bang for the buck. Thanks to a producer like Ravichandran, the movie seems to have availed itself the best talent (both from home and abroad) an Indian moviemaker could. We’re talking about Aboorva Sahodarargal, no less. The last time he delayed a movie like this (substantially rewriting it), it went on to make history. It just means he’s had more creative liberty, time to revisit the movie, fix the holes and ensure the movie is fail-safe. Kamal delaying the shoot/post-production is actually good news. But hey, right now I’m not going to listen to that part of me. Unless he’s being incredibly suicidal, why would he fly in Jackie Chan, Amitabh Bachcan and Mamooty for a promo that could have funded a Hindi movie? I do hear the cynic inside me saying, “Well may be he’s getting really scared!” and wanted to pull of a stunt.

Ravikumar brings this simplicity to his movie, which offsets Kamal’s hyperactive self-indulgence.įor a seasoned pro like Ravichandran to bet such an unbelievable amount into a single movie, is unheard of. Together they’ve made it a habit to line up one hit after another. Enough said.īesides Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, the only other director who has a proven record to keep Kamal grounded is K S Ravikumar.
Here are five reasons I think the movie may hit the bull’s eye: Every Kamal fan’s high has known a drop from 10,000 feet (oh, I don’t mean the pleasure type, you know the one with a parachute and all).
For every Guna, there is an Alavandhan for every Michael Madhana Kamarajan there is a Mumbai Xpress. When he invests his maniacal energy and time into a movie, it’s sure to be a treat…right? Mayyybeee! With Kamal’s fan there is always a guessing game. Dasavatharam: a Hit or a Miss? Posted by DoesItMatter in Movie.Įveryone agrees Kamal is a blessed actor, talented screenwriter, super workaholic, and an all-rounder.
