On Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam(2013) - Tamil movie



Ahhhh,its been a while ive been writing especially a movie review because after being devotedly following and cherishing fiction(especially tamil cinema in India) for 20 years, I thought its worth giving up as Alfred Hitchcock ,tamil director Bhimsingh says its after all cinema and they are grossly overpaid and over celebrated including their work. But fiction always excites and gives a valuable ,enjoyable break from reality and makes us alive. Vishwaroopam due to the soft to hard growth of characterization impressed me through its songs and promos. Hence I went for the  movie on 1st show. Am not heartless or brainless to criticize a legend like Mr.Kamal Hassan. I will try to keep up the movie information highlighted for fans to atleast keep them informed on what it is and what can be expected.


Humanitarian Indian soldier spies on Afghanistan location during 2002 period, he through another money motived sheikh brings a equipment to identify location through him. As a result a bunch of political extremists is getting killed including the family he lives with closely which indeed affects him emotionally. The spy now live is NY after climax of the war in Afghanistan as girlish dance master marrying a selfish woman who has affair. She spies husband to blame on him to quit marriage as she not likes the girlish character of wiz(Vishwanathan) and the spy gets killed accidentally by an political warrior. Now political warrior group is on with Wizz and co,where wiz takes vishwaroopam from soft to super hero the best moment of the film. Now the wiz and co is upon saving NY from deadly killing agent through chemical tied upon dove and another political warrior who is upon killng using the chemical agents. Wizz and co saves it by the advice by his wife Nirupama as she is nuclear oncologist(using micro oven?).The spy and co will continue their journey now in India for vishwaroopam 2.

PLUS
1.Vishwaroopam characterization from soft to super hero.

2.Realistic portrayal of Afghanistan life a new experience.

3.Songs, background music.

4.Rahul Bose character and performance to a extent.

5.Reasonably dense story.

6. Dailagues(very nice witty,cute,emotional and comic dailagues(papathi amma nee kozhiku uppu cheriya iruka sollu!! and men are nothing but tail in there front :)).

MINUS
1.New york detective track, especially second half(all kamal scripted movies has exciting plot and weak second half right from the movie Vikram in 1986).

2. No thick or fulfilling character(s) or themes in the movie.

3.Story telling is bit slow and complex.Not sure on this,but i feel for some reason there is no interest created to follow/learn more on story and characters.

PLUS AND MINUS
Non chronological events of story in movie(Afgahnistan and NY track running parallely and quick edits in climax to reveal who the hero is).

I salute kamal sir for his looks in the movie especially as tamil Muslim Kashmiri and stunt sequences for his age.I love this movie to succeed as am well wisher of Mr.Kamal Haasan but one suggestion is bring a team of  various skilled people in script and direction department of your movie.

He acts to earn money.What good things you guys expect him to give him in a movie.Or how long you would wait for him to give good teachings .Those are all are already available for you to learn and survive in this world.He is a business man.Can’t you people think!
Just look back your personal life in past ten years.
He is travelling in a Audi , I believe.
But, we people wasted our hard earned money on this movies and even we couldn’t afford to buy an octavia without Emi’s.
Please think over it.
Even everyone works hard for the money.
But, the so called celebrities earn the money with ease. Do you say that they are intellectuals.
Are they brainy than all the top notch techies?
Why they are paid too much
If we guys shun movies then how will they earn ?
Why we guys are pouring our money to their pockets so easily.
?
Iam speaking in general. Do you feel that he is entertaining you so much.?When kamal was in trouble, some fans sent him cheques , DD’s and so on.Now, his movie is successfully running.
Did he have the generosity to add up atleast rs. 1 in the amount and return them back.
He works for money and we guys confuse him to be demi god.
Please think over it.
You Brahmin idiots fight and calculate for every penny that you spend?
Then can’t you think twice to spend money on the tickets?
Stop watching movies , let the celebrites be brought to the streets to know the value of each penny .
I know I have been harsh and it is for your own good.
They are not gods to be praised.
They are indeed creatures below par running after money and nothing else.

#home Malayalam movie review

Image
I got into this after tough day in my work and selected this as somewhere I saw some raving review in my facebook feed somewhere in my mobile. Irony that movie which downplays the mobile device got attention by mobile. It's very hard and unfair to write review on culture and language that am not into it. But first time ever I went really went tight on capturing images and reading sub titles due to the natural visual, realistic characters. when the movie started telling about a director and writers block, i thought it's going to be too artistic and would loose empathy as like the movies 71/2(french), marupadiyum, bommalatam, VTV. I don't like movies about movies, I was sleepy until the part came in about the guy who ran a video cassette shop who gone out of competition now. And also I thought this movie cannot be tagged as just a feel good family drama but has more hearty flavour to it. My take on a movie always would be story distorted and pick my favourite elem

ON Self Knowledge Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti - Why JK repeats?(On my spiritual guru

Image
This is ON JK who lived during -Jiddu Krishnamurti- May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986 ).He is many's spiritual guru and had not sharing about him to anyone as there are certain beauties which we cant share and also philosophy is a dry subject,where people wont like it. He cannot be labelled as the guru, anybody don't have any particular person who is their guru all life. Life is our guru,not particular person.But to push yourself to life and make the starting ceremony with first lesson in a big book of life you need a guru. A guru is only a starting point. The guru cant find you as you have to. To dig on life we should not willing to be satisfied with superficial,comfortable,painful life which we may be hiding at. Many will get inside the learning zone only when wanting to penetrate life more then what it is ,and become desperate to know on why pain and how to overcome it.First time in life we will be bothered to dig life,strain  and win it INTELLECTUALLY.

ON Tamil Writer Balakumaran - The man who knew too much on spirituality

Image
  This write-up on writer Balakumar, veteran of tamil fiction credited to have 200 plus book titles. Balakumaran writing got into me when i watched the Tamil movie Gentleman(1993) as a kid. Even though dialogue is small part of movie, managed to take away his name in the movie titles which we hardly care to see. Then i managed to see some of his works in movie and always been great fan like for a hero in the movie. Later i used to see his name was always there in tamil novel section in book shops which i often used to visit. I turned pages there and got into his novel writing a bit. One of my non conformist friend suggested couple of his novels which i tried and started liking his flavor of writing. He shines like a hero in a movie after reading through it. Amazing technique of domain exploration, philosophical musings on life and people, adulation of feminine side. The novel like "Irumbu kudhiraigal" flashes a bit of movie "Polladavan" and drives into a subject,
