“Vishwaroopam is a film that ends up biting off more than it can chew, of which Kamal is probably repeat offender. ”
Couldn’t have put it better myself.

Did not watch Viswaroopam – if only because of the last KH film that I watched in a theatre – Dasavatharam. (Shall shamelessly plug my own ‘review’ of that one here …. http://ushasblog.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/why-kamal-why).

Regardless of the share of inputs, the fact remains that when he directs he is not able to drive home the message in an acceptable manner to the audience which is evident in the way those films have fare at the box. Of course, there is no argument if one were to fret saying audience has poor taste not being able to appreciate his master pieces, in that case it should not be commercially released. Ultimately kamal cannot be given credit for movies just written by him and director deserves the complete credit or debit as we are arguing in case of visawaroopam. It has been somehow like tendulkar as captain, all class individually but below par outcome in the end as said by the audience. As regards nayagan chapter in hindu it was kamal’s version and one gets better picture when one reads about the rebuttal by the producer who is also a noted director himself. Even by the same all credit cannot be given only kamal in nayagan which most of us are gracious in giving to mani ratnam also which is missing in other cases which shows the thought process and inherent bias.

He did “write” most of those films you mention. And there are a number of similar tropes that appear repeatedly in all these films. And it is an open secret that Kamal dominates over the proceedings over any director giving his inputs in every department (Just read Nayagan chapter in Converstions With Mani Ratnam). So it is not a wrong assumption, hell, it isn’t even an assumption anymore.

I'm still very upset Affleck was snubbed for the Oscar nom. The movie was near perfect - performances were amazing, script was tight, the cinematography was great (the locations being shot must have needed a lot of light meter work). I hope that his next movie comes out as great as Argo and he gets some more respect.

Anbe Sivam was acted by Kamal and Directed by Sundar C and we tend to do this again and again assuming he directed Devar magan, Apporva Sagodrargal, Raja Paarvai, Pesum Padam, Michal madana Kama Rajan, Avvai shanmugi and Dasavatharam. His directorial pieces are Hey Ram, Virumaandi, (remake of Wednesday) and now Viswaroopam.
He is a great actor under good directors but not a great director to direct himself…

Can’t fault his ambition on this one — I suspect he wanted to make a Hollywood-style action movie, but with the breathing space to show how the other side lives — something Hollywood doesn’t often do. At the same time, he didn’t want to compromise on his Indian-ness or Thamizh-ness or whatever else, which isn’t so bad either.

Trouble is, when it comes time to execute on that ambition, he gets as many things right as wrong. Which is true of the average big-budget summer blockbuster that fills American multiplexes anyway.

Generally speaking movies or films are produced only for entertainment and relaxation purpose.. is there any purpose to involve religion and caste issues in films? if one has no belief in such things well and fine why should they hurt others feeling.. as human beings we should always try to make others happy at least hurt not others.. some of them have null belief in religion and caste some have belief in such things it depends upon their psychological scenario.. none as human beings hart others.. it is not at all a humanistic behavior.. always try to understand others feelings..
