Any second opinions on this ? :wink:
I don't quite agree that Mohan or anyone else had better of IR than Kamal Haasan... IR-Mohan combo may have been more consistent, thatz bcos Kamal-IR had lotz of masala junk movies as well ....
I don't think I've much listened to wholesome albums like Guna, Mahanathi, Hey raam, Sippikkul muthu, Salangai Oli, 16 vayathinile, Punnagai mannan , etc, etc from other actor-MD combos .................
Overall this combo is the best ever IMHO !

Pls discuss abt the rare gems & genius of this great Combo :)

16 vayathinilae would not count as it starred both kamal and RK....well i trust kamal when he says IR made better songs for RK...besides thalapathy and johnny...movies like rajathi raja..padikkathavan...veera(not exactly the best but all songs were good)...nallavanakku nallavan...netrikann...kavikkuyil...priya..pudhiya kavithai...aduttha vaarisu...dharmattin thalaivan..mannan....yethanaiyo irukku pa...kamal also had alot of good movies with IR...maybe the difference being that IR's best songs came with Rajini.

IMO, IR-Mike Mohan ruled the 80's but overall and though its a close tie between IR combo with KH/RK/Mohan, i think IR-KH combo would come out on top.

Jana , 10000000.....................cheers for this thread :clap:
IMO, I appreciate KH combination with all MDs..

But when it comes to IR - KH, it is a COMBINATION OF CLASS & MASS IN BOTH

1. MUSIC &
2. FILM

I like this combo's
* mass songs
* off-beat songs
* melodies
etc :P

The list is endless.. you know :wink:
some of my all time favorite melodies from this COMBO are

* Kanne Kalai Maanae from Moondraam PIrai (YOu know how much We like this movie and song) :wink:

* Nee Paartha ... from HeyRam...A heartwrenching number (which can launch everyone into that feel which a person can go through... esp with his GF / wife coming to the mind :( :clap)

* what else
THE ULTIMATE VILLAGE MELODY

"INGI IDUPPAZHAGA, MANJA SIVAPPAZHAGA" :thumbsup:

---Many More--- 8-)

Unnal Mudiyum Thambi was awesome too..
AS background music during the scene where Srividya will critise Kamal... was superooooooo super..
Plus with stunning expressions, i guess many would have cried for that particular scene.....

I even like Toongathey Thambi Toongathey and Sakalavallavan.. Massyy.. songs

So, I feel this thread is better kept as a thread to discuss on the gems of IR-KH combo .... Comparisons are inevitable and are to be handled as exceptions .... :wink:
So from hereon, letz use this thread to discuss about the Songs of IR-KH and the old ones that are not much known to the younger gen & etc., .....

This one I posted in the hub some time back .... !

Last weekend , me & my friend were watching "Red roses" ..... During that "miniminikku ..." song he said that humming is bad , very bad (some chorus singers') .......
Then when the "Ninaivoo oru" song came up, he said SPB rocks in humming :o ... I was stunned and b4 I opened my mouth to say, that wasn't SPB , he himself realised it and asked me "who is that?" ... I asked him to guess the singer (He always brags that he can tell the (any) singers from listening a song once ) ... His guesses during the span of the song were SPB(humming), KJY, Jeyachandran, Unni menon ... :lol: I was in such laughter ... When the song was going to end, he said Ilayaraja , I ROTFL, then with dismay he said Kamal .... !!!!! :wink:
It was sooooo fun :wink: .... Actually he had listened to that song lots of times , he says itz one of his fav :lol: :wink:
Kamal's voice was very young and different in those late 70s & 80s songs !!

Did u first see the topic title ???? Discuss about the songs, music from IR-Kamal films !! Whatz ur problem here ?
:?
And , yeah Kamal does get inspiration from Al pacino ! Whatz so wrong ? De niro , another of those greatest actors, says, he at times gets inspirations(Raging bull...) from Marlon Brando !(De niro is a huge Brando fan , BTW) Why don't u go and criticize him ?? Almost all of these greatest creators gets inspirations from other such creators !

Any actor who wants to be POIGNANT, SUBTLE will have to take a leaf out of Pacino's acting !! Hez the most poetic of all, I would say !! Godfather 1,2 are his most subtle roles, where he acts only with his eyes !! :)
Anyway, this isn't the topic to discuss them, If u want further clarifications visit Kamal threads in films section .....
Pls discuss abt the songs , BGM, scenes , etc here ....

great,

Whether vysar Agrees that KH himself has accepted that he is inspired by Alpacino or not.... [he will ask for a proof if i say Rajini has accepted himself that he copied some styles from Shatrugan sinha :lol: ] I came to know about Alpacino only from that interview... And this is not a finding by vysar sir. it's been around here for quiet sometime right from nayagan times.

Regarding the inspirations > you have to watch those movies of Alpacino and try replacing that character if done by KH. You can very well imagine KH would emote the same way as him. I've noticed many of Alpacino's gestures and wondered 'Ada Kamal intha scenla ithae than panni irupaar'. Alpacino just fits into a character with ease and casualness as kamal does. even the body language of both matches perfectly.
But all the above observations fits only in some stylish characters. When it comes to virumaandi or some other culturally oriented character played by kamal he does it in his own style.

You just see RAJU CHARACTER IN MMKR . The way he speaks ( forget the madras tamil accent ) the manner he moves his body ...... are all typical CC only & I have no doubt on that

Pl also see SAVAAL , its local Kamal once again following the touches of CC. Also watch Sattam en kayyil ( local KH again )

Regarding the inspirations > you have to watch those movies of Alpacino and try replacing that character if done by KH. You can very well imagine KH would emote the same way as him. I've noticed many of Alpacino's gestures and wondered 'Ada Kamal intha scenla ithae than panni irupaar'. Alpacino just fits into a character with ease and casualness as kamal does. even the body language of both matches perfectly.
But all the above observations fits only in some stylish characters. When it comes to virumaandi or some other culturally oriented character played by kamal he does it in his own style.

RS, thats ppl perception kamal is inspiring Alpacino/DeNiro but its not the case. They havent proved their versatality most of movies they would be mobsters .But its not the case with KH he has done almost (ALMOST) all kinda roll and those ppl havent done any comedies except for few movies King of comedy , meet the parents.... But KH rules in all the dept :thumbsup: be it acting or directing ... without watching these movies ppl are just shooting in the open sky that kamal is copying Alpacino :wink:

Al Pacino won his Oscar for Scent of a woman where his character is a blind retired army officer. He comes as a reporter in The Insider and he won Golden Globe and an Emmy for playing a dying gay patient in the TV mini-series Angels of America. So don't say Al is specialized in only mob type roles. If you do that shows your ignorance. I haven't watched Angels of America yet. I remember Kamal was talking about playing an AIDS patient some time ago. If he does then we know who he will be inspiring from.

btw. have you watched Niros' "Analyse This". Watch it and see how versatile his acting is. Don't be a frog in the well be a bird in the sky.

Alien,

Have you watched 'DOg Day Afternoon' :? The movie starts as a comedy riot and moves on to be serious one in the end. AlPacino excells in every scene. the things which we perceive as a comical one will be equally serious from the perspective of the character. There are many subtle expressions which only Pacino could do. Or try watching 'Insomnia' where he plays a role of cop who is tormented by sleeplessnes due to geographical factors. He sure is a versatile actor who has been predominantly used in Gangster movies :cry: Same applies for De niro

Well too much of digression here :oops:

Relating to topic > I perfectly agree. They are made for each other and we can see it in the way both admire each other in various interviews. I can see KH face lighting up when he starts speaking about Raja and similarly Raja will be enthusiastic when telling something about Kamal. But they become Arch enemies in the issue of GOD and pull each others legs in a very subtle and gentle way. The only other Relationship I could think of is of Periyaar-Rajaji when considering this :)

Regarding the music Who else other than Kamal could bring out a inji Idupazhagi or Kanmani Anbodu or a MX from Raja :?: You should all listen to the talks between them during the composition of Guna its really a delight to listen to them :)

Dhanush is an natural born actor. I don't see an inspiration of anything or any one in what he plays. He never over played his character in Pudupettai. But Kamal copies Al Pacino and we are calling him Ulaga Nayagan.

His dream project Maruthanayagam is loosely based on "SANDOKAN" played by Kabir Bedi.

Balaji,
KB had a ton of great visuals, both IR and non-IR. Sindhu Bhairavi is a classic (`pAdaRiyEn' has probably one of the best visuals for a TFM song, an all-time wonder)...so are the songs of `unnAl mudiyum thambi' - neat.

Going by the standards of SB & UMT, I expected some decent story line and great visuals for PM, which arguably is one of the most innovative albums in TFM history. On screen, one of the worst sodhappals...Take for e.g. the love theme...even the thALam is not matched, the pace of the movement is simply ignored...and what kind of dance movements? Some pale mimicks of salangai oli movements...

Apart from story, dialog and costume, other worst performers of this movie are the oLippadhivu and nadanam...

The irritations of PM are multifold ...starting with the unnecessary Delhi Ganesh leelaigal, distracting chaplin mannerisms, anAvasiya Kamal-Srividhya kalyAnakkadhai etc...most irritable villain gumbal...great songs wasted on a cheap, boring commercial...marakkiLai, sattaikkuLLa pugunthukkichchAm, edukka mudiayaiyAm - uyir pizhaikkaradhai ivvaLavu cheappA, uNarchchiyE illAma c grade director kooda edukka mAttAr...

Even my great love for athirampaLLi-vAzhachchAl couldn't generate any enthu...adhaiyum thirumba, thirumba orE mAdhirikkAtti, oru pARaiyil ezhudhi vachchu thirumba thirumba poo pOttu poojai seidhu...totally unimaginative...(oru 8th grade paiyanukku handy cam koduththa idhai vida azhagA athirampaLLi visuals kidaikkum)...

There are two versions of PM one is edited version that was released in India and director's cut version that had all the censored scenes (courtesy: pirated video). When I watched the censored version in the theatre there were lot of jumps without continuity. But the directors cut had some flow in screenplay. Balachander tried his hand in the mainstream TF cinema and won because of IR. Same applies to Puthu Puthu Arthangal where IR played cameo role and also Balachander had IR images shown in many scenes. PPA became the last movie of IR BC collaboration.

I think KB has some 4 type of stories:

1) Angry young group - varumaiyin niram sivappu, vaanamae ellai
2) Female bold character - aval oru thodarkathai, manadhil urudhi vendum
3) multiple angle love story - Most of his films have this starting from iru kodugal
4) some comedy

But I donno y he is rated as one of the best, may be for his dialogues :roll:

Characterisation and how he handled the screen play, secondly he was the only one who get movies sold by his NAME rather than any popular actor/actress. He had some kind of message

Female bold character: Jaadi malli, sindhu bhairavi and all of his movies had some kind of boldness in his females.

why he is rated best: probably consistency. Have you seen Naan Avanillai? a very good movie.. it is sometimes a person has to keep pace with the times, and some mistakes might be committed here and there, but we cannot take that against them especially KB.

Coming back to Punnagai Mannan, KB tried give the Srilankan refugee and other problems feel into the movie, except that he could not or was not able to deliver the needful coz of various reasons during that time (including Censors, the last scene where Kamal and Revathi die was changed for no reason). His attempt was genuine and stylish if you would consider based on the timing of the movie.

the most romantic, novel, deliciously picturised songs IMHO, 'valai osai' - SATHYA and 'andhi mazhai' - RAJA PARVAI!

Two best BGMS of IR are for Kamal.

One when surya is dead in nayagan ..the male chorus which plays in the background and the one when his father dies in Thevar magan..

Out of the world..top class scores
