that
broken tooth, those eyes and he goes "SHOOT
ME MY MAN, SHOOT ME, MY MAN - MY BOY , SHOOT
ME - AND THATS A BLOODY ORDER." As
a fan one feels this is the ultimatum -
no actor can thrill more than this, and
we surrender completely to Adinarayanan,
I P S.
Pesum Padam / Pushpak
Singeetham Srinivasa Rao is at his allegoric
best. The climax is definitely the most
telling scene in the movie. One week of
unexpected opulence comes to a calm and
disturbing yet educative end and there we
have our hero Kamal Haasan trying to explain
all this just with his eyes, for he is not
even allowed to speak a word. Matched graciously
by a super cute Amala, this scene is a masterpiece
in itself.
Devar Magan
A film and a role, which I always rate above
Nayagan and feel that it should have definitely
fetched Kamal the silver lotus award. This
one ends with Kamal making all of us cry,
holding the 'arivaal' in his hand and emoting
those lines of regret and desperation at
having been turned into a murderer. Only
one man can write such lines and act them
out too... that is Kamal.
Michael Madana Kama Rajan
Chaos, comedy, anxiety, and action. It doesn't
get bigger and better than this. In what
I consider as Kamal's best screenplay till
date, the whole movie rushes into the wooden
house on top of the hillock as if to say
that things are now so chaotic that the
whole narrative is now going to fall off
from that building. Added to this remarkable
setting, we have Crazy Mohan and Ilayaraja
working their brains out to give the best
dialogues and the best music respectively.
Moondram Pirai
The climax is what is actually Sridevi's
'moondram pirai' - her third birth. A birth
which leaves Kamal devastated, in agony,
in irreparable pain, almost in a state in
which he had first found Sridevi. And who
else but Kamal can enact this scene with
such aplomb? The key is in the eyes. I am
dead sure no other actor in the world can
give that look of desperation as perfectly
as Kamal does. His eyes talk more than anything
else. Added to it, a bruised body, and a
struggle to make the girl he saved remember
him. It is like a 'beautifully sad' painting.
Aboorva Sahodarargal
The circus stage is set. There is a man
hanging between life and death. A dwarf
with a gun in hand to decide it and a widow
waiting for justice! Just three pairs of
eyes do all the acting and talking- Srividya's,
Kamal's (appu) and Nagesh's. The first shows
satisfaction and is happy that her husband's
soul will now rest in peace. The second
shows revenge and feels taller than ever.
The third shows both fear and regret. There
is one more thing that talks - Raaja's amazingly
awesome background music.
