Ajith Kumar - The Man, the Machine & the Bullet.
The Angry Man
The 'Angry Man' Character has always been a part of our cinema culture. Many have tried showing anger on screen, but only an handful were appealing. Then came
Amarkalam admist the reigning trend Romance. Ajith as Vasu unleashed his disagreement. If Valli Shiva is a silent killer, Vasu wispered his rage. Ajith became a title-holder with Amarkalam and went to bring this note worthy emotion into most of the characters he played, and while doing so, he showed variety. In Mughavari, the frustration stirred with hopelessness and served cold with deceit is registered by Ajith playing the role of an ambitious youngster who cries in the rain under the dijection thunder. The emotion is an extereme height of anger itself. Ajith quickly redefined the cult character 'The Angry Man' and went ahead to suit up in such roles tailor made for him.
Criticism
Criticism can be handled in several ways, and the wise would convert it to their benefit by energizing themselves using the criticism as a fuel for vitality. Ajith's carrier was/is loaded with criticisms from every front. But every single complain triggered an urge to acheive inside artist Ajith. He gently kept them at heart but put his mind at work, the result started to become visible in his films. He completely shed down his physique in Paramashivan, and bounced back as a dancer in Varalaru. It took several films for Ajith to correct his vocal and its modulation. The outcome for non-stop trying, finally paved way - Ajith unearthed a rusty voice in Arambham. Ajith quickly turned to become an editors choice, each movement on screen in Billa marked Ajith as an artist who is aware of the camera placement, including the lens, focus and the light source. His concentraion pronounced his efforts he had put and show cased his analytical approach. His prowess is seen in his amazing strides which looks as though calculated in advance. Ajith did not stop, but went on into a correction mode, assuring huge ameliorations in lips syncs, expressions and ending his recent film Vedalam by excersing even his face muscles and teeth to perform.
The Communication
'Vathiyar' & 'Thalaivar' are considered to communicate with their fans through films. A similar 'break-up' suitation put Ajith to use films as the only medium to communicate with his fans. He constructed a sort of transmission through his film coding messages for his fans - "
Yenna Readya". Just as his seniors, Ajith started to polish his relationaship with his faithful fans by erradicating the usage of first person singular, and started to enlarge the thrid person pluriel that helped in establishing a huge connect. In Vedalam, Ajith asks '
Therika Vidalama', and his fans acknowledged.
The Style
Ajith in Action is always a beauty to watch. Just like '
Vara Vara Ellame Style", Ajith's every mannerism started to stand out. During the '
Super Fight on the Superyatch' in Vedalam, he fixes his eyes on his single target, but takes his time to reach the victim, all the while terrorising his kill by walking around breaking anything moving and immovable. A perfect menance, done with Style. Billa marked it for him and from then he started adding tiny bits in each movie that followed, moveover the film makers made it a point via intro scenes to encourage his fans where the '
Thala' factor gets highlighted. Even in Vedalam, during title card, the '
Thala' gets focused in/out. His coolers and other accesories including the vehicles he uses started to be pronounced firmly. Style serves Ajith with purpose.
Ganesh, the Vedalam
Ganesh weeps. He could not take the beatings anymore.
Ganesh is in trouble. He begs before the abducters to release him.
Ganesh is floored, like a torn rag. He is holding a gun, but stammers to aim.
Vedalam grins loadly. He beats up anything thats in front of him, also the ones at the back of him.
Vedalam lifts his heads and mocks showing his teeth. The language spoken by his fingers are heard by the guns that drop down willingly.
Vedalam laughs at his nemessis signaling the end. One bullet, One Shot. Finish.
Now rearrange the above sentenses. Ganesh & Vedalam are two different characters, like the flower and the rabbit inside a magician's hat. Ajith pulls off the one needed for the tirck, and when the object is out, the trick takes the respective act. He fluently enables the variation and most of them are performed for a thick close up shot. Such up and rising expressions under a brief moment puts the actor Ajith before the star Ajith.
If Theri Theme is responsible to put a smile, its Ajith who ensures that it stays there. As Vedalam, Ajith registers a variety of emotions and this time with a lot of humour added to it. He gives various looks that are strikingly different, even when he has his sunglasses on, just through the body and it's language. While seeking remboursement for his broken bike, he lands up smashing the side kicks. He throws the cross-bar with one hand, and lifts the other to wear his sun galsses. On his way he looks at a wounded henchman lying in the path. Similarly during the luncheon or discussion with Papa or asking for his gun, Ajith shows variety of meanings through his looks alone. And as Vedalam Ajith is just HUGE, as in magnifying presence. As Ganesh he brings out the needed innocence. Ganesh's lecture about 'Freedom for Women' is the need of the hour.
Ganesh is the Man, the one to be followed. Vedalam is the Machine, an automated killing device during the beloved ones are in trouble. Together they are the piercing Bullet. Right Gun, Good Aim but its the Bullet that gives the finishing touch.
