Kamal's Golden Jubilee year

Ammavum neyae appavum neyae - This was on Aug 12, 1959 - celebrating the golden jubilee of this is the 'Ulaga Nayagan' Kamal Haasan.



Velu Nayagan of Nayagan, Chappani from 16 Vayathinile, Apoorva Sagodharargal Appu, Vazhvey Maayam Raja, Krishnaswamy of Mahanadhi, Aalavandhan Nandu, Thenali, Indian, Avvai Shanmugi ... each character says about Kamal's commitment to his work. It is not difficult for anyone to do have done so much, if they could stay for this long in the industry. But I don't think anyone would have done this with such a dedication and willingness to learn every bit of whole cinema like Kamal. I am sure he will end up in a place where you will have no one else to compare with him.



Though I don't prefer watching movies second time, there are exceptions like Manohara, Panneer Pushpangal, Batsha, Minnale. And this ANBE SIVAM! Though it was the extraordinary performance by Madhavan which made the movie so pleasant, I like the movie very much because I could see the real Kamal - exactly what he would be outside the cinema -in many places. And that is the Kamal I like. I am not against religion but I listen when he talks about religion. I am neither against caste but I prefer to spend time to hear if he speaks about it. I am not really a fan of him but if you ask me to say about my favourite actor, it would be Kamal ;-)

I wish he delivers Marutha Nayagam and it is far superior to his best of movies.

This is funny and typical of Kamal: Nakkal Nayyandi Virumandi

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.
