The real actor. Three Oscars is not enough for him
Aug 26, 2017 10:52 AM1913 Views (via Android App)

Kamal hassan sir one of the incredible actor. Watch any movie of him, you'll see an real character not an actor on the role. He should have not given the title as ulaga nayagan, he must have given the title as an legendary actor of this universe. Why I praise him a lot is because he'll never act on any movie he'll just evolve himself as the role given to him. The list of movies no one can act like him.




  1. Nayagan - oscar winning movie This movie is about a backward cast person who's fighting for the tamil people in bombay for their equality and rights, and later on who becomes into a don and what happens to him next. This movie was directed by Mani Rathnam. Actors Kamal Hassan, Saranya Ponvanan, Nizhalgal Ravi, Nasar, Janakaraj etc.




  2. Devarmagan - oscar winning movie This movie is about two groups of the same family, the one side a bad one and the other side a good one. This movie is an full action, love, comedy and an full entertainment pack. All the actors of this movie have not given their best, they have done more than that. No words to describe the actors. The great boost forthis movie was Sivaji ganesan sir the king of tamil movies. Actors Kamal Hassan, Gauthami, Revathi, Nasar, Sivaji Ganesan, Vadivel etc.




  3. Apoorva Sagotharargal - rather than the two movies above this movie should have been given oscar.






This movie has got the best graphics of that time in tamil film industry. This movie is about two. brothers one os innocent and the other is a killer who kills the vilains who killed his father. This movie is hilarious, very funny, jangaraj comedy actor and manorama comedy actor. The screenplay was excellent. Can't find any mistakes throughout the movie. The music of the maestro Ilayaraja made every sentimental scene into an eye full of tears. Hats off to the entire team.


There are some more special movies to describe but not described here thanks for reading my review.


My Wishes to World Hero Mr.Kamal Haasan
Apr 07, 2017 12:49 PM2501 Views (via Android App)

I am one of the best fan of our WORLD HERO KAMAL HAASAN. When I was at the age of Five I saw his film from that childhood days I became a fan of Kamal Haasan. I follow his sincerety delagation and dedication in my work beacuse of his motivation. Moonram Pirai, Mahanadhi, Devar Magan, Kuruthi Punal, Varumayin Niram Sivapu, Dasavadharam, Vishwaroopam etc., are my favourite films. He is the man of Confidence, when the problem arises in Vishwaroopam I see his confidence. He is also a good writer, singer, dancer, director, and many more talents. No one in Indian cinema is multitalented and successfull like our World Hero Kamal. Tamil Nadu appreciate his multitalented efforts in many incidence. I wish his success and wish to reach MARUTHANAYAGAM and OSCAR as soon as with GODS GRACE and Confidence on him.

In his career he faced a lot of struggles but in all the time he crossed all the problem and got victory. The major struggle his realizing the film "vishwaroopam".


But finally he got the sweet of victory.


Best 3 of Kamal Haasan
Mar 12, 2009 11:54 AM4079 Views

Here I'm sharing with you, the best 3 movies of Kamal Hasan, which I like very much...


First is Virumandi. Apart from an actor, Kamal proved himself as a best director in this movie, after Heyram. Other aspects of this movie are Ilayaraja's background score, the village and jail set, which is hard to beleive that it is set. perfect art direction. A new different way of story telling, in two perspectives... Apart from all these, I lke this movie, because it taught me some lessons in my life about how ppl are when they are near us and not in our presence.


Next is Anbe Sivam, which is very unique movie from Kamal hasan. But unfortunately it became a flop. Actually I saw it one yr after its release, and wondered why ppl don't like such a wonderful movie...Third and last is Thenali. though it is a commercial movie. I like it very much because of the humor in it... very much enjoyable movie.... Some other kamal movies l like very much are


what business it is of urs? India
Movies which deserved to be hits but became flops!
Jun 17, 2008 03:51 PM4342 Views

I couldn't find a suitable title for this in Member Advices/Tips coloumn so I am writing it here.


There are certain movies that didnt get enough recognition when they were released but then went on to become classics through dvds and home videos.An example from hollywood is The shawshank redemption.


Well, i have picked up 2 movie-Anbe Sivam and **Iruvar.


Anbe sivam**-Had a novel theme .The performances were extraordinary. kamal hassan proved again why he is a cinematic genius.His performace was so brilliant that giving him a mere national award would be a big shame.May be thats why they didnt give him.


May be the reason why it flopped was the communist ideology and principles didnt go down well with the society.The audience who were fed on a steady diet of masala entertainers didnt have the heart to accomodate a movie like anbe sivam.May be it was soft and tender and didnt have any violence or exposure which  tamil audience had got used to.May be the message was so simple that the audience were puzzled as to why they made a film out of it.


Iruvar-This film would have flopped even if it was marketed properly.There are so many reasons.One, Prakashraj always mouths chaste tamil which the front beanchers would find irritating after 5 minutes.Two, the subject is so deep that a person who has a liking for off beat films only would appreciate it.Three, Mohanlal and Prakashraj didn't even exist in Tamil Cinema at that time and so the audience was skeptical and uninterested.


Four, The charecters of Anandan and Tamilselvan were potrayed as human with all their flaws which obviously would not go down well with the audience who considers stars as part of their lives.Some made temples for them.Many even died when they died.But for all its volatile subject iruvar surprisingly didnt garner any controversy!


But classics, like truth cannot be bottled down.As the saying goes, nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come..a classic will emerge and gain acceptance ad accolades when the time comes.


Kamal, the Nayagan
Jun 06, 2007 08:19 AM8053 Views

He was just six, when he acted in his first film 'Kalathur Kannamma'. As a child artist, he acted in a very few films, but all with the then super stars like M.G.R., Sivaji, Gemini, S.S.Rajendran and Sathyan. And in his very second film he was in a dual role. Born in a family of lawyer dad and brothers, Kamal was let off for art, it seems. He skipped school, learnt classical dance, acted in Avvai Shanmugham's drama troupe, became an asst. choreographer and then asst. director, and began to act in small roles in movies during his late teens. He was given some important roles in K.Balachander's films.


His early films portrayed him as a playboy, always dancing with a peculiar style with a mike in hand, and if you see them now, you can find the thirst to achieve, in him. To act in meaningful movies, he was lucky to have plenty of malayalam friends, who launched him in their movies. 'Kanyakumari', 'Vishnu vijayam' and 'Rasaleela' gave  new breaks to him , and even in Tamil 'Aboorva Ragangal' opened a new door for him. Romance between a young boy and an elderly lady was the hot story of this musical. In many of his early films, he was acting in such kind of films where he was either seduced by a sex starved widow or by an elderly woman, to name a few -'Rasaleela', 'Eetta' 'Unarchigal' etc. In 'Vaanambadi' he was Sheela's  7 year old son, and in 'Eetta' he was having  hot sex with her.


After acting in innumerable films, his big break came in Bharathiraja's debut movie, '16 vayathinile'. He played a crippled village idiot along with Sridevi and Rajini. In the same year1977, Balu Mahendra launched his first film as a director. The film was 'Kokila' in Kannada and in b&w, and in this film he had sexual relationship with the maid servant. His stint in experimenting with make up must have started in 1978 with Cinematographer A.Vincent's 'Vayanadan Thamban'(mal), which was very crude to today's standards. In the same year 'Maro charitra' was released in Telugu, and this K.Balachander movie smashed all records of box office. The romance between two youths from different state background was later remade in Hindi also as 'Ek Dhuje ke liye' which was his grand entry to Bollywood as a hero. I remember, for a Deepavali, his four films got released on a single day. Two of the films 'Sigappu Rojakkal' by Bharathiraja and  'Aval Appadiththan' by Rudraiyya were noteworthy. The first was a crime thriller with a suave killer in Kamal, and in the next he was a documentary director with sympathy towards women.  It was a b&w film with Rajini and Sripriya, and one of the earliest film in Kamal's journey towards quality cinema.


'Varumaiyin Niram Sigappu' was another Balachander film, in which he played an unemployed youth, in search of job in N.Delhi. In 1981, to realise his dreams, he entered into film production with a remarkable movie-'Raja Parvai'. He played a blind violinist, and selected the best talents as his crew. Singeetham Srinivasa Rao/director, Barun Mukerjee/Cinematographer and Ilayaraja/music director, and of course Kamal was very much involved in the scripts and dialogues.The same Kamal acted in 'Sakalakalavallavan' the super hit film, which gave Tamil filmdom a great turn-  towards cheap tastes! Every frame of the film was trash, but enjoyed by the common man, who had just tasted good parallel movies from directors like Mahendran.


Acting in 10 trashes, at least he had some conscience to give his 11th film as a quality one. So we had the opportunities to get Sagara Sangamam, Moondram Pirai, Swadhi Muthyam and in 1987 'Nayagan' the desi don from Manirathnam.  This film lifted the mantle of Kamal, with an excellent unit to back him and 'Nayagan' is history. 'Pushpak' was also a high range comedy, and an experiment in film making, without a single dialogue. After the super duper hit 'Apoorva Sagotharargal', a film enjoyed by all, he went to Malayalam to enact an author backed role in 'Chanakyan', a brilliant crime thriller.  The 90s saw Kamal going/growing more serious starting with a beautiful comedy 'Michael Madana Kamarajan' in which he played four different roles. 'Guna' was another brilliant film in which he played a mentally retarded, who kidnaps his 'Abirami'.


The great Malayalam director Bharathan, cinematographer Sriram,  Ilayaraja and Thespian Sivaji Ganesan joined hands with Kamal to bring out that classic 'Thevar Magan'. If you want to know its greatness just compare it with 'Virasat' its Hindi version. 'Mahanadhi' can be pointed as one of his best films. The story narrates the incidents in the life of a widower who shifts to the city, in a very touching and realistic fashion. The songs were added assets thanks to Ilayaraja. You could have  noted that his directors are not discussed here, because I sincerely believe that Kamal must have ghost directed most of his best films. How can one believe Santhanabharathi directed 'Mahanadhi' or Sundar.C directed 'Anbe Sivam'?

The Titans of Tamil cinema
Jun 04, 2007 02:24 PM5535 Views

Disclaimer:-This review is not entirely on Kamal Hassan.Despite my constant efforts  in using the  mouthpad to introduce the topic-'Five best actors of tamil cinema', I have been unsuccessful.Hence I am writing the review under this category, Please bear with me................


5.Vikram Vikram is one actor who exudes sincerity even in absolutely inconsequential roles such as 'Samurai' and 'Kaadhal sadugudu'.He was not lucky enough to have a godfather in the film industry a la Vijay or Sibiraj and was forced to do asinine roles in equally lacklustre films.He was under the grave danger of fading away into obscurity when Bala recognised the spark in him.Vikram was offered the role of  Chiyaan in the movie 'Sethu(remade into 'Tere naam')....and then there was no looking back.Such was his performance in the movie that the name'Chiyaan' stuck to him.Be it the road side gangster in 'Gemini' or the police officer in'Saamy' , he lends a certain chutzpah to his portrayals.He won the National award for 2003 for the movie'Pithamagan'(by Bala) for his mind-blowing performance as an eccentric grave digger.His last movie 'Anniyan'(Aparachit) too was a great success and'Bhima'(his next film)is one of the most awaited movies in the Kollywood circle.Three cheers for 'Chiyaan'!!!


4.Soorya


This guy is sheer dynamite!! Being the son of yesteryear actor Sivakumar did fetch him some roles in the beginning.However, Soorya has clambered up the ladder of success purely on the strength of talent, dedication and a disciplined approach towards selecting roles.Like Vikram, Soorya too did star in some lousy flicks at the wake of his career...in fact , there was a time when he wouldn't merit a second look.But currently , he is the biggest heart-throb of Kollywood.Here again , Bala played the crucial role in shaping this lad's future by offering him 'Nanda'.Then followed 'Pithamagan' where he played a petty thief with so much enthusiasm.'Kaaka kaaka' cemented his place in the movie industry, for Soorya stunned the audience with his smouldering intensity in this flick.'Ghajini', a revenge drama with a difference , is yet another notable movie of Soorya.Such is this guy's charisma that even Aamir Khan is bowled over by him!!


3.Nagesh


       I expect that many of you are dismayed to find Nagesh on this list....But I really can't think of a better comedian(best comedienne-Manorama) in the history of Kollywood.His very presence can send the audience into paroxysms  of mirth.His comic timing is just too good and  his one-liners very astute!! Nagesh is one under-rated performer who is often looked upon as  kind of jester while MGR, Gemini Ganesan and the likes are idolised.This a very sad state of affairs considering the fact that he has a lot of meaningful roles to his credit. I have watched 'Edirneechal' ever so may times and marvelled at Nagesh's spontaneity.He also outshone Muthuraman in the movie'Server sundarm' where he plays a loser with an inferiority complex.As a  rumourmonger in 'Iru Kodugal' and a silent lover in 'Thamarai nenjam', Nagesh has expressed an array of emotions.I also admire his dancing in the song 'Avalukenna azhagiya mugam' .Even in small roles as in 'Nammavar' and 'Vasoolraja', Nagesh once again proved that one can replace him!!


2.Shivaji Ganesan


          To do a comprehensive job of expanding on' Nadigar Tilakam' Shivaji Ganesan is an impossible task, for this stupendous thespian has such a magnificient range.He has delivered the best of performances in the most trying roles.Shivaji grabbed the attention of moviegoers with his impressive soliloquy  in the iconic courtroom scene of the revolutionary movie 'Parasakthi'(written by current TN CM Karunanidhi).He is perhaps one of the very few actors who look convincing in mythological roles.Casepoint?As Narada in' Saraswati sabadam'...as Veerabahu in'Kandan karunai' and as  Lord Shiva in himself'Thiruvilayadal'....these are some of the notable roles of Shivaji. Comedy (Kalayana gallata) , Pathos(Deiva magan) or yearning(Enga mama)-he can easily beat his contemporaries hands down!He aged gracefully but could still emote perfectly well.One can only stare in awe as he even mananges to outshine Kamal Hassan in some scenes of 'Devar Magan'!!


1.Kamal Hassan


         And now for the piece de resistance...!!Kamal Hassan is one of  God's gifts to Indian cinema without a shred of doubt.His conviction, depth and versimilitude is something which  not many actors possess.Little did we realise that the kid in 'Kalathur kanamma' would make such waves?....Kamal Hassan has worked with the best of directors-ranging from K.Balachander to Gautham Menon and has thus gained a lot of knowledge regarding filmmaking.The roles which Kamal Hassan has played through these years are radically different.If he played the obsessed lover in 'Guna', he has also played the joker in 'Apoorva sahodarargal'...if he has played the wronged simpleton in 'Mahanadi' he also played the drag queen in 'Avvai shanmugi'.His dancing skills could put anyone to shame-just have a look at 'Salangai oli' and 'Punnagai mannan'!!The press is however trying to defame this phenomenon by publishing slanderous gossip about his personal life which seems grossly unfair to me  as a fan. But all said and done Kamal is a perfect pot-pourri of Looks, acting , dancing and an encyclopedia on filmmaking....few can deny it!!


My other favourite tamil actors who could not make it to the list are Prakashraj, Sivakumar, Cho, Karthik, Prabhu and Gemini ganesan....


Comments and suggestions for improvement are most welcome...........

A Few Good Men
Aug 29, 2006 08:17 PM7255 Views

One good thing about being a Malayalee is that you grow up watching movies of at least four languages on a regular basis, namely Malayalam, English, Hindi and Tamil, if you are a die hard film buff that is. I was one for sure. And I didn’t stop there too. I went exploring Bengali, Italian, Japanese, Iranian, Polish, Swedish and etc. (now you know what kind of a film freak I am)


Being exposed to such a wide spectrum, it makes sense if you ask me if I have strong points of views regarding films, film makers, directors, or any other aspects of cinema. I would say, yes for sure. I do have lots for that matter.


And this one is about some of the finest Indian actors I watched (closely).


Kamal Hasan.


Kamal Hasan to me is almost perfect. It is hard find any flaws with this actor. No doubt he is a truck full of talent and he mostly goes beyond that too. He is a die hard professional and a passionate individual w.r.t. how he is seen to the public like me. It seems he has worked hard on many of his roles and that surely should be one of the reasons behind those superior levels of perfection in his performances.


Kamal Hasan is more than what an Indian viewer could’ve asked for. May it be drama or realism, may it be pain or humor Kamal Hasan has some exceptional authority over what he is doing. Everything is correct and nothing goes wrong. Year after year, roles after roles true experiences of powerful expressions are what you are offered. And no one has any complaints, at least not me.


This article isn’t about listing each actor’s greatest films and performances, but one scene I would quickly suggest if you are yet to watch Kamal Hasan is the scene of Thenaliwhere he explains his problems to the doctor, it summarizes Kamal Hasan’s genius.


Naseeruddin Shah


When it comes to contemporary Hindi films Naseeruddin Shahmostly looks like the final word. His performances are sharp, and they suggest great realism. Since I am picking the topmost cream of the Indian acting, it is pointless to repeat words like talented again and again, and statements like ‘Naseeruddin Shahis very talented’ could only make him look smaller. What I observe about Naseeruddin Shah is that he is a very sharp actor, he has an extraordinary eye for details and he is also a well trained methodist. I am not sure if he had worked a lot to prepare for roles like that of Iqbal, but I find them as very well worked and very well developed performances. Nobody succeeds with talent alone, even Vincent Van Gogh with all his artistic genius was very keen on developing his technical skills as I could read from his writings. Naseeruddin Shah belongs to the same school. Beyond talent, his skills are sharpened to the superlative extend, much to be compared to some Hollywood legends.


So why should you agree that Naseeruddin Shah a great talent with extraordinary skills? Watch Iqbal. I hope he is winning a national award for that.


Mohan Lal


Mohan Lal is spontaneous in one word. His ability to respond to fictional human situations from the bottom of his heart is amazing. His way of acting is very effortless and his responses are free flowing.


I always see something intelligent about the way Mohan Lal presents his characters. I used to wonder if he is understanding his roles very psychologically that I usually assume that he might be a man with great psychological grasp.


His ability to get into the finest psychological detail of his character might be helping him achieve that great ability to respond, that’s what I think. I guess it will be important for him to get some level of connectability between his own artistic identity and his role, for this very unique approach. I believe he would do a great Hamlet and an ordinary Caesar that way.


His role in Kireedam isn’t but a psychologically complex character then that is what I would recommend for the one who’s curious about Mohan Lal.


For the mere fun of comparison, Mohan Lal’s approach to acting is in a way different from that of Kamal’s or Naseeruddin Shah’s. Kamal’s style is more classical and majestic, Shah’s is more sharp and calculated and Mohan Lal is fluent and original. The variations in their styles may have more to do with the finer aspects of the cultures of the films they belong to as well as their own artistic identities.


In fact I have skipped a lot of aspects of acting the three extra ordinary men share in common along with any other acting legend for the reason that I expect them to be assumed.


Looking at the sharper details I would rate Naseeruddin Shah to be the best when it is about the technical accuracy (you know why Hollywood comes back to him), for sheer genuine talent I find Mohan Lal to be the best and Kamal Hasan is my choice when we are talking about true perfection.


I also notice that Kamal has gone a few miles ahead of the other two in exploring the big trade of acting, in experimentation, in innovation like Pushpaka Vimanam or the upcoming Dasavatharam. I see that is the area where the other two masters do not catch up with the towering screen persona of Kamal Hasan.


So who’s better? Forget it, I am not answering that one for sure. That is a silly question after all. I guess it is like choosing between Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell or Charles Darwin for intellectual qualities.


Kamal - The Only Real Actor
Nov 03, 2005 08:40 PM5617 Views

When it comes to acting, all faces that appear on the silver screen are not actors. Actors must also act. This means, they have to do something else before acting. That is what he had communicated to the film industry, and doing it constantly.


He personifies acting. An Actor must be like him. He is the touchstone of acting, next only to Shivaji Ganesan (Who is an Actor even before he is born), can be proclaimed to the whole of world's film industry.


His works can never be compared with that of anybody in present Indian Film Industry. He dares to experiment (sometimes at the cost of producer's money, still, it is business). He is the only person who dares.


Presently, I am in Pune. I was here when Mangal Pandey released. Everywhere, I heard that Amir Khan is a perfectionist and all. I just was thinking what a kind of Hype is being given to him for that only one movie, in which he has grown long hair and little longer moustache. The guys haven't seen Kamal in some films like Hey Ram, in which he appears, in almost all lengths of hair and moustache. It is just only one movie, he has shown a lot of Variety.


If the guys from north, had seen at least 10% of Kamal's movies, they would not worship Amir so much. I still wonder why people call Amir Khan a perfectionist when he must done only 20-30 odd films. Amir's age is Kamal's experience in the film industry. Of course, he is the one of best actors in Bollywood, but it does not mean, he is the best actor in India. Bollywood is not Indian Cinema. It is one of the movie industries, producing hindi movies, like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannanda film industries. This passage is just for comparison.


He is incredible. He has done varieties from most humourous to most serious movies. His Comedy movies are the best, I can say, in Tamil movies. His MMKR (Michel Madana Kama Rajan) is his best. Next is Pancha Thanthiram. I have watched these two movies more than 200 times. They are amazing. Of course, the credit will equally go to Crazy Mohan too. He is terrific too.


His serious movies, are




  1. Mahanadhi, which only he can perform




  2. Kurudhipunal, which was better than its original Dhrokkal




  3. Indian, was jointly done amazing with Shankar






and a lot more to say.


Everybody knows his acting. I need not say it.


Other than acting, he is




  1. An Indian Classical Dancer




  2. A Good Singer




  3. A good Director




  4. A Good Screenplay Writer




  5. A Good Dialogue Writer




  6. A Producer




  7. A Lyricist




  8. A Make-up man (Has learnt the art of Make-Up from Michel Westmoore who is top in his trade in Hollywood)




  9. A Licensed Choreographer




  10. A Writer






That is why he is Acting in a movie called ''Dasavatharam''.


Wishing him a great success in his future endeavors.

Phenomal actor...

Kamal Hassan is a true actor, in every sense of the word.


He has proved beyond any doubt that he can deliver whatever is requested of him.


In all his films he has acted, he has shown a dedication and tenacity for giving it his best.


His movies are worth watching as you know that you will receive a performance that is worth your time.


For anyone aspiring to be in the movie industry, they should look to this remarkable person for their own inspiration.


Kamal Hassan has also showed that true dedication to a craft will bring it's own rewards. His performance in Salengai Oli was a truly remarkable one. His dancing was just ''poetry in motion''. I can watch the dance scenes over and over again and never tire of them.


No matter what, no matter where, when you are asked to perform, give it your all, that is what I have learned from watching him.


He is truly a actor for all times.


Kamaal Kamal

Kamal, a true hero who has contributed to the Kollywood Cine Industry. He is a versatile actor, who has taken up very challenging roles in movies like Guna,Avvai Shanmugi, Anbe Sivam, Nayagan etc. We should also look at his age. He at 52, looks so young. He has the determination to perform in every movie of his. Right from Kalathur Kannama to Mumbai Express, he has had a great acting career. If it's Rajni for style, it's Kamal for acting. He is not only an actor, he can dance & sing too.


Some of his great hit songs include Yaar...Yaar... Sivam & Kalakkapovathu yaaru.


If it is a Tom Hanks to Hollywood, it's a Kamal Haasan to Kollywood. He is a bonanza for the director, a Jackpot for the Producer, A superhero for the audience & God for his fans. He has also contributed to social issues. The recent industry Kamal has entered into is Audio company. The first project, Mumbai...


He has never had a halt at any stage of his acting career. If you see his act record, atleast a movie a year has been his aim. He has already acted over a 110 films & is thirsty for more. His next project, Vettaiyadum Vilaiyadum is expected to roar at the city.


He is truly, Kamaal Kamal.

No one would have even imagined that a cute little guy who sang Ammavum Neeye.. years ago would now be a universal hero now.Sheer determination,hardwork and exmplary discipline in work has pushed him there.He has hallmark movies like Nayagan,Aalavandhan and VasoolRaja which made Munnabhai stand ashamed.Such is the class of this man.There are people who say look at his personal life-shambles,I'ld say look at his profession when ur taking about him as a professional.Class is human-Genius is God so Kaml is God.A person who can sing, act, write stories or dialogues, compose music is a genius.I telll u all Kamal is the thing that keeps the Tamil cine Industry floating and will keep it floating and mind u he is just aged past 50.If it was Sivaji who was better thanMGR in the Sivaji-MGR era,its surely Kamal who comes out trumps in the Rajni-Kamal era.Rajni may come and MGR may go but Kamal goes on forever Kamal goes on forever.


Kamal -Actors Dictionary
Jul 18, 2005 02:44 PM5058 Views

On November 7, 1954, a boy was born at Paramakudi in Ramanathapuram district. Hardly anybody would have guessed that this handsome little boy would one day conquer the film industry. He doesn’t need an introduction like this.


He is the one and only Kamal Hassan - versatility his right hand, experimentation- his left and perfection his brain.


This man has carved out a niche for himself in the film industry, Indian film industry I should mention and remains as an undisputed actor and role model that any actor in the field would wish to emulate .Tracing his career graph from ‘Kalathur Kannamma’ at the age of four which fetched him the Presidents Gold Medal for best child artiste one can only see his meteoric rise as an actor. Today he has got Padmashree, Kalaimamani Awards, 4 national awards for best actor (‘Mundram Pirai', Pesum Padam (Pushpak), Nayakan and Indian) and state awards from Tamil Nadu government, 17 Filmfare Awards. Who else and what else can one expect more than this? But this man keeps expecting and makes his fans expect in each and every project he does. ‘Ye dil maange more’ is his favorite line.


KAMAL - A Perfectionist


I have read in papers that for the role of a cop in ‘Alavandhan’ (Abhay) he underwent 3 weeks of training from a commando and learnt how to hold the gun, how to walk and the entire body language of a cop.


The pain he withstood for Indian (Hindustani), Avvai shanmughi (Chachi 420) makeups are noteworthy.


Not only has he showed perfection in his acting but also in his direction.’Hey Ram’ was the debut for this director but that would never look like that. Though the movie didn’t do well at the box-office it earned him good name.


He takes immense care in his language too. Be it Sri Lankan Tamil or Madras slang or an orthodox Brahmin language or Coimbatore slang, he familiarizes it quickly for a role and does ne plus ultra.


He also has a strong passion for literature. His stories ‘Thevar magan (Viraasat- which fetched him national award for best story) and ‘Anbe Sivam’ (State award) are few paper trails of his excellence. I should not forget to add the title song of Hey Ram written and sung by Kamal in this list. Mr.Ramdoss and Mr.Thirumavalan...Plz note that Tamil should not live in movie names but in minds and deeds.


Few movies like Guna, Mahanadhi, and Hey Ram can only be done by Kamal in Indian industry. No one else was and is talented and dare enough to take up such ventures.


The comedy series of Kamal will definitely dislocate your jaws. If you keep laughing for the first joke you will miss the second. He maintains such a fluent flow in his dialogues. In his recent ‘Mumbai express‘Kamal had written the dialogues himself and had excelled in that too.


His interest and talent extends to music also. He has sung so many songs but yet to compose .Theres nothing wrong if you expect him to do. It may come like a bolt from the blue.


None else in world has touched perfection in as many fields as this man in cine industry.


Ufff…..what I have mentioned is just the tip of an iceberg. There are lots more in his plate but unserved to us.Lets wait till that.


Kamal –A Human


There were plethora of fans’ club for this thespian but the humanity in him converted all of his fans’ club into welfare clubs to do god deeds. As a limelight he has donated all his body parts and asked his fans to do so.


In a nutshell this man undoubtedly, is the greatest thespian of the century. He is still on his way to achieve more.

Though I haven’t seen his tamil movies ,but I have been hugely impressed by whatever he has done in hindi film industry.his best performance till date has definitely been in “Hindustani”, that was a fine example of being in character (I am talking about the role of older person)


Sadma,zara si zindagi, appu raja,chachi 420 have been other scintillating movies.i would not discuss his performance critically in each of these movies, rather I’ll write about best scenes of kamal hasan , a must watch for his fans.


Best scenes done by kamal hasan


1.in Hindustani ,the scene where his daughter got burnt and he takes her to hospital ,there the autorities ask him to pay bribe or follow the normal procedure of lodging police complaint first (he is a revolutionary who is against system discrepancy),here also he gets the same response ,his daughter dies in the process .now this is one scene which I think make you emotionally moved.




  1. his performance in appu raja was quite commendable (especially of the dwarf person).there is one particular scene where the heroine request him to come to marriage registrar ,(he mistook it ,thinking she was talking about their marriage)he celebrates the occasion with his dwarf friends, but actually she was asking him to be a witness in her wedding with boyfiend .then in next scene appu’s mother consoles her father saying he should have got angry if she had married a dwarf like his son.kamal displays some amazing emotions in this scene.




  2. this is the climax scene of sadma ,I would not reveal this one.






Watch these scenes and you’ll notice the class in this brilliant actor

This is the most apt description for a versatile actor like Kamal!!! He is the best thing that has happened to Tamil cinema.


Kamal has been referred to as a maverick, eccentric, experimental wiz...and he is all that plus more:




  1. Excellent dancer,




  2. Versatile actor, writer, director, even singer




  3. One who has dabbled in a vast range of ideas and topics: Revolutionary, Midget, Dancer, multiple roles in the same movie, experimenting with accents from all over south india-even sri lanka, psychopathic killer, cripple, mentally retarded, action hero, village bumpkin




  4. Able to bring out the ultimate in acting, expression, emotion and comedy in the silent movie ''Pushpak''




  5. In spite of his hectic schedule, he is also involved in various charitable organizations and movements.






and the list goes on.....


Looking forward to more masterpieces from this master of South Indian cinema!!!


Hats off to the maestro.......


Cheers
