the god of screenplays. the god of comedies (mmkr - 1990)  

Posted by Anonymous in

It cant get any better than this. I can write a 5000 page book on this movie coz i have watched it almost on a daily basis till today. its the most addictive movie i've ever seen.

there are two great aspects about this movie

1)kamal's acting

playing quadraples, kamal masters 4 different accents - an nri, a pallakad iyer, a madras localite and a drunk dada. Kamal sees to it that even one all four characters look alike there is not a single similarity in their body language and behaviour.

2.kamal's screenplay

god level are the only two words to describe the simple yet awesome screenplay of this movie. one event beautifully leads to another and its like magic. every character is well utilised and the comic timing is brilliant to say the least.

full of witty and rib tickling double meaning, dialogues by crazy mohan literaly rock.

this this is a sexy song from the movie

one more attack on the telugu mainstream cinema (indrudu chandrudu- 1989)

a wonderfully essayed role of a corrupt mayor is what stands out in indran chandran... which went on to get kamal haasan one more telugu state award for best actor.

the worlds best entertainer ( aboorva sahodrargal 1989)  

Posted by Anonymous in

I rate this as Kamal Haasan's most entertaining screenplay. It has all elements of a great entertainer and teaches rajinikanth vijay ajith and other forl=mula heroes on how to make intelligent entertainers.

the dwarf role , kamal-gauthami romance and kamal's dance are the highlights of this movie

the angry young man (sathya 1988)  

Posted by Anonymous in

sathya is an action film about an unemployed youth who ends up finding about corrupt politicians.Its one of suresh krissna's better works.

the movie is known for kamal's tough guy looks and "valai osai" - the song, sung by spb and lata mangeshkar celebrated all over tamil nadu as the cutest and most heard on radio- duet ever.

the silent melody ( pushpak 1988)

well, at 34 years of age, most actors are busy consolidating their careers by acting in standard masala flicks and building fan bases, but god kamal haasan stars in "pesum padam" - a silent movie.

scripted and directed by kamals close associate for many movies in the ninetees, singeetham sreenivasa rao. the whole movie is a symphony.Its about a poor youth who chances upon a week of opulance.

amla is the heroines and not only looks great but also does a good job in the acting department

Brando (guruji) - HERE I COME - (1987 - nayagan)

it was a bet between two friends (mani ratnam and kamal haasan) on who will reinterpret THE GODFATHER first and mani won it by a 5 year gap.

even though kamal went on to make DEVAR MAGAN, A BETTER ADAPTATION, in early ninetees, this performance stands out as the best potrayal of a don in Indian cinema. THE THIRD NATIONAL AWARD FOR HAASAN.

punnagai mannan(1986)-a new landmark in romance  

Posted by Anonymous in

just 5 years after ek duje ke liye, K.BALACHANDER AND Kamal haasan set a new landmark in romance cinema. This is a very special movie given the fact that it starts off with a sequence from where other screenwriters would go on the flashback, but k.b as different as ever, goes on the forward showing a new life for the protagonist.

the humour element is by another character, resembling charlie chaplin (played by kamal again).

among ilayaraja's bgm's what u are listening to is considered the best till date.

Swathi Muthyam (1986) winning the telugu hearts

K.Vishwanath and Kamal haasan Proved that salangai oli was no fluke. In this film kamal plays the role of an autistic person and does it to perfection.

i would rate his performance in this movie better than that of Dustin Hoffman in Rainman and Tom hanks in Forrest Gump

saagar(1985) - hindi filmfare for the best actor.  

Posted by Anonymous in

a second big splash into bollywood, saagar, a poignant love triangle featuring kamal haasan rishi kapoor and dimple kapadia( whose nipples are seen in one particular scene).

kamal became one of the very few tamilians to shine in the hindi film industry and deliver silver jublee hits.

CLASSICAL DANCE CAN'T GET ANY BETTER (1983)  

Posted by Anonymous in

Saagara sangamam ( salangai oli) was the beginning of the peak. a peak which lasted for more than 20 years(!!) and is still on!!

here, another aspect of kamal haasan's multi-talent comes to the very fore. apart from rendering a brilliant acting performance, kamal also dances to perfection, An effort that was appreciated by many professionals and trained masters of classical dancing.

directed by K.Vishwanath, this movie ranks among the best Telugu movies ever made

moondram pirai( 1983 ) - brilliance in every frame  

Posted by Anonymous in

Its rare when in a great movie the female lead delivers a flawless performance throughout the film but the male lead takes the national award. It happened in this movie because of the 7 minutes of brilliance that u are watching. Balu mahendra had intended to keep the climax simple and soft but kamal rewrote the screenplay in the last 7 minutes to make it more dramatic, and what we have is probably the best climax tamil cinema has ever seen and will ever see.

this movie will also be remembered as the great poet and lyricist Kannadaasan's last contribution to cinema. the song kanne kalaimaane was a rage among people the movie went on to be a super duper hit

bollywood bows to haasan (1981)  

Posted by Anonymous in

by far the most productive combination of K.BALACHANDER AND KAMAL HAASAN. ek duje ke liye, a trendsetter as far as romantic cinema is concerned went on to put the bollywood box office on absolute fire. kamal went on to act in many more hindi films later on.

this song is a very catchy number sung by spb and lata mangeskar. The song went on to be a rage among music lovers

the first screenplay (1981)  

Posted by Anonymous in

rajaparvai (1981) is kamal haasan's first ever screenplay. he went on to right atleast 50 more scripts which were silver jublee hits at the box office.

the movie is about a blind violinist and his romance

guru(1980)  

Posted by Anonymous in

over the years kamal haasan has mastered all kinds of slangs and dialogue delivery.

In this film,what stands out among them is his "sparkling english" spoken with great ease and flourish.

guru- a commercial con film extended kamals mass to a bigger volume of audience
