Sindhanai Selvar Dr.Kamal HaasaR - favourite movies,scenes 2

The UPO character itself was unbelievable as common man, don't blame the actor/star. Beginning with the scene of him supposedly making some kinda weapon or something. Then, sitting coolly with all those gizmos, wiping his tears with the revolver (I mentioned this in my review), all that makes him a cool hero. Mahanadhi on the other hand shows the character at his most vulnerable, something that even non-married men can relate to (at that time, I was, that is why I am too scared to watch it now).

As Venki was discussing about what is commercial, masala, let me bring in an old interview, Read the very 1st question, asked by MaNappaarai Vijayakumaar!

Nerd & P_R, yes its a mistake only! But not worried becos even my mistakes bringing good discussions! I propably think that i overlooked at Kamal the writer, at that moment, instead of Saketh Ram -> Lalwani forgot, that means, assumes that Saketh was NOT present in the Riot region. Even then he says Unakku Puriyaathu, not Unakku theriyaathu! Though, again, the writer probaly intended to convey the audience that South didn't experience the pain and struggle of what most of North ppl went thru, during independence, I am slightly confused, Puriyaathu means, the writer saying that Generally, South Indians not much caring about what happens in up north??

Can I post a harsh review of Hey Raam here?!? Onnu tayam paasaagum, another, 100% assured more meaningful talk will happen! saais is all yours, saga hubbers

Puriyaathu means, the writer saying that Generally, South Indians not much caring about what happens in up north??

Yes. That is general perception in the north.
That those in South did not witness the horrors of partition and thus don't understand what they went through.

These elements are by the way a departure from the original film. (Especially the beginning scene doesn't even exist in the original. As are the clarifications regarding the politics of the vigilante act that Naseer's character simply refuses to give.) A couple of exceptions aside, all scenes are of course faithfully replayed, but again there are subtle changes in the tone that shows Kamal's character as 'more than just a common man.'

[P_R]

Wiping tears with revolver was a very WTH moment.
He could not have missed the point/aesthetics of 'A Wednesday' more than that.
I was disappointed with the way he had even received the film, to have dropped the ball that badly.

[equanimus]

Yeah, Naseer doesn't even have a revolver/gun in the original! But on the other hand, he manages to procure and set up the bombs. How, the film doesn't show. The remake basically tries to demystify this abstract idea of a common man by marking him in different ways. (At one point, Kamal even clarifies he is NOT a common man, but a terrorist who has set out to kill terrorists.)

Wiping tears with revolver was a very WTH moment.

The worrying thing here is, in one of his interviews (Vijay TV) he seemed very thrilled about one of the aarvakkOLaaru audience on that show appreciating *that* scene Was like, "idhellaam neenga note paNNaama vittruveengaLOnnu bayandhuttu irunthEn, now I feel a lot relieved".
