Nammavar

What am I writing about when “The Boss” is sending havoc across the globe? What you think is not what you get :) I am a buff of thalaiver, but still a person who like to watch any good movie. Kamalhasan to me is a person who loves the Tamil industry and tries to do experimentation in his movies. In his experiments he has burnt his fingers several times but still striving to give different movies and waiting for the audience approval. In Devar Magan there is a dialogue where Shivaji says “Athu ethu restaurant sonniye konduvaa, kathu kodu, aana namma pasanga methuva than varuvanga” perfectly suits for Kamal's thirst to give variety movies to Tamil audience. Nammavar was a blend of commercial items with a light message to society. Nammavar, Devar magan, Anbe Sivam are on my evergreen list from this actor, I do have couple more but just mentioning these as I watched for nth time these recently. Kamal is one of the best artiste whom Tamil industry had bagged but sometimes I don’t like his overacting. Nammavar does have couple of scenes where he does this extra effort which becomes hamming. But still overall it’s a movie where you can enjoy as the plot and screenplay was neat. The first entry of Kamal as vice principal with his lifted coolers, blade fight scene where he says “Venamda ithellam venam thane naan iruken”, clash scenes between him and Karan, the apologize scene, the song sequence that follows after the instruments were broken were few to mention. The movie portrays the bad patches of college youngsters and few scenes hits the society with its raw fact. The scene when one of the student falls from the ceiling and taken to hospital the ward boy says to Kamal “Sir ethachum kavinga sir, kamal then shouts and he continues to say dei sir remba kovama irukaru…”, another scene in a open discussion between college management and parents one of the founder says “Sir nanga ellam saraayam vithhu vantha kasula thaan intha college kattinom” are few hitting the truth in a light manner. Nagesh, this splendid actor has shown several brilliant performances in the past and here too was amazing. The scene where he behaves differently after his daughter suicides was a sample and shows his in-depth experience. Karan’s debut but still showed his maturity and I liked his performance. Sun TV top 10 style if I have to say “Nammavar Vallavar”!
