With a film career spanning over four decades, Kamal Haasan is a Kollywood legend and ‘Ulaga Nayagan’ to millions of his fans in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Songs from even decades-old Kamal Haasan movies are still popular not merely in Tamil Nadu but with the diaspora in the U.S. and elsewhere as well.

Here are some of our Kamal Haasan favorites:

* Kanne Kalaimaane – A classic from the movie Moonram Pirai

* Mere Jeevan Saathi – Yes, Kamal Haasan acted in a bunch of Hindi movies too. See Kamal Haasan and Rati Agnihotri from K.Balachander’s Ek Duje Ke Liye.

* Enna Saththam – Nice song from the Kamal Haasan-Revathi film Punnagai Mannan

* Hello, My Dear Wrong Number! - Old-timers will remember this number from Manmathaleelai

* Anthi Mazhai – Kamal Haasan plays a blind man in Raaja Paarvai. What ever happened to Madhavi?

 

* Ennadi Meenakshi – See Kamal Haasan with white bell-bottoms in the big hit Ilamai Oonjal Aadukirathu.

 

* Yar Yar Sivam – from the lovely Anbe Sivam

* Engeyum Eppodhum – Yes, you guessed right. This one’s from Ninaithaale Inikkum

* Kadhal Vandhuduchu – A hit from the old film Kalyanaraman Continue reading »

Ayan Review – Aiyo, Sori Padam

Ayan at U.K. Box Office – Ayyo, Embarrassing

Dai Machchi, Indha Surya Padam oru Sori Padam da. Sori Padam. (Hey buddy, this is a scabies-infested movie).

An ugly movie beyond redemption, Ayan is the latest piece of shit to emerge from the Augean sewers of Kollywood.

With not even a fig leaf of a story to cover its ugly entrails, Ayan’s raison d’etre is that a few agents of Lucifer at AVM and Sun Pictures had more money than they knew what to do with – so, they flushed it down the toilet and lo, at the other end of the sewer pipe emerged Ayan.

Zero Entertainment Value
Featuring Surya, Tamanna, Prabhu and two escapees from the Vandalur Zoo answering to the taunts of Akashdeep Sehgal and Jegan and directed by a nincompoop called K.V.Anand, Ayan offers zero entertainment value. Zilch.

With a story not in the least bit credible or gripping, the acting so mediocre and music below average, Ayan left us numb with shock at the amateurishness of it all.

Not for one moment in the two hours and 40 minutes did we get our money’s worth ($12 for the ticket).

Bizarre Story
The silly story centers around a young smuggler Deva (Surya) jetting around the world on smuggling trips for his mentor Das (Prabhu) and making the Indian Customs look like a bunch of buffoons.

A long-haired cartoon character Akashdeep Sehgal plays the villain Kamalesh. If someone were to stick a tail to this Akashdeep character, it’d be completely at home in the Vandalur Zoo as would Jegan who plays Deva’s sidekick Chitti.

Not content merely with making the Indian law enforcement authorities look like a bunch of blithering idiots in this ceaseless affront of a movie, Ayan director Anand adds insult to injury by bizarrely rewarding one of the professional smugglers with the plum government job of Professional Consultant/Officer. Don’t even try to justify this as a reward for assistance rendered in the cause of justice. Some reward. Some justice.

Surya – Mediocre Show
Surya once again delivers a embarrassingly poor performance. Whether on a smuggling mission in Congo, racing around like a maniac in Malaysia or cavorting with his lady love Tamanna, this fella disappoints. Big time.

Even Surya’s dialog delivery lacks pizzazz. Continue reading »
