    I've always had great respect for Mr.BR regarding his command over the language and the way he understands films. I've always waited to read his reviews in THE HINDU then. Missing them now. Good job, Mr. BR. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more.

    Great analysis. It would have been better had you included the BGM from climax; when Manga & group walk towards Kaali , the drum beat slowly gaining momentum to indicate her heart beat. Ilayaraja for a reason; Ilayaraja for ever. No one will ever be born like Ilayaraja again to tell a story with just BGM.

      @neonoufal 5 лет назад +1

      And the bgm. That continues after that when the focus is on Valli is also the same. Brilliant

    • @randomcuboid8753
      @randomcuboid8753 3 года назад +1

      Inclusion of bgm from climax is not enough sir...illayaraja, the king of music, deserves a complete episode across a cross section of various phenominal hits...which literally sailed thru to audience solely due to his score...

    Mr.Rangan, you are a precious gem for Tamil cinema. This is the biggest award to Mahendran. Balu Mahendra, Ilaiyaraja. Rajinikanth and Shoba. Awesome sir. Keep up the good work and keep enlightening us.

    Really what a act, rajni shobha jaya lakshmi sarath babu. This is the film. That's why director mahendran got the artists wonderful thought. No body do the film equal Kali character as Rajnikant. Keep it up mahendran.

    Absolute no-nonsense balanced review of the movie! Goes in to depths and explores the many facets of how this movie was envisioned, formulated, and handed over to the many generations by the genius minds of the industry. How can anyone not get a whiff of this fragrant flower that adorns thorns, that smells sweet, even after generations have passed by!

    Just saw Mullam Malarum on prime. And as is ritual, searched for BR review. And viola,What a joy to find he has done a review for this. And what a beautiful pice of analysis. Covers the writing, cinematography, music, acting and every minute detail.

  • @srivasseetharaman
    @srivasseetharaman 6 лет назад +19

    As a film reviewer, you continue to amaze me. Somehow, to me, it feels like the other RUclips reviewers are still playing catch-up to things as simple as film appreciation, whilst criticizing.
    Please do a video series on how to review.

    Got to give credit to Mr. Mahendra for creating the character Manga played by Ms. 'Fatafat' Jayalaxmi. Lost count about the number of times I have fallen in love with the character Manga. Manga is a foodie, she is the only character in the film which is not afraid of Kali, and is not afraid of expressing her love Kali. I have never seen a character like Manga in Indian Cinema.

  • @premgokuls

    Good analysis of a great movie, thank you BR. I remember maybe some 12 years back, even at that time Doordarshan was something that was totally forgotten, but I was glued to Doordarshan for 3 hours only because they were showing Mullum Malarum. Now I might watch this movie again after your analysis. I'm a big fan of good movies, such as ones of K.Balachander, Mahendran, Maniratnam and Kamalhaasan, but an even bigger fan of Rajinikanth. So, when good movies and Rajiniism joins together I'm so proud and elated - examples, Mullum Malarum, Thillu Mullu, Nettrikan, Moondru Mudichu, Johnny, Ragavendrar, Thalapathy and now Kaala. Of course I'm crazy for Thalaivar's superstardom mass movies, but then I yearn for movies that use the actor Rajini. And, Rajini is a rare star that can combine great acting and mass in one movie, best examples Thalapathy and Kaala. When I saw your review of Kaala, while I respect your opinion and agree to one or two points, I really felt the movie is so much better and had those layers that required more time and discussion and even appreciation. Anyway, we can agree to disagree :). But for me Kabali, Kaala and possibly the new Karthik Subbaraj-Thalaivar movie are smart ways of Rajini transitioning his style of movies gradually after the lessons he learnt from Linga disaster. Collaborating with new age directors and adapting is his way of staying relevant in contemporary cinema, and he has done that exceeding well for the last 43 years.

  • @srbasha74
    @srbasha74 4 года назад +7

    My interpretation of the title title is "even the thorn can bloom" as opposed to only a bud can bloom..It refers to a thorn like Kali, who keeps hurting kumuran all the time, finally blooms and gives up Valli

  • @stillsacred
    @stillsacred 4 года назад +6

    One of the most outstanding cult movie of Tamil cinema. How a director made a debut with a cult classy movie ? I think J.Mahendran is the first , followed by Balu Mahendra and etc .
    Sir , your analysis is also so extrodinary . Please make atleast small anlysis of Director Bala's movies and also Kamal​ Hassan's directural ventures , and Selvaragan .
    Please

    • @srivasseetharaman
      @srivasseetharaman 6 лет назад +1

      I love paradesi as well, would love to see a detailed analysis. But it is harsh to say, Selva's other ventures are shit. Samples Kadhal Konden, Pudhupettai, 7G and Maykkam Enna. All of these have great music and cinematography, outstanding writing and direction and of course writing and direction. Although 7G would have been better with Danush. Personally, the combination of Danush, Selva, Yuvan and the late Na. Muthukumar, is one of the best combo to have happened to Tamil cinema. Of course, GV's AO and Maykkam Enna; Karthi in AO are also great.

    Superb Review :-)
    You explained the position of the camera but I have doubt that Balu Mahendra sir done all these positions in his mind. I guess some position may not be intentionally.
    Why I'm saying is you did interview with Maniratnam sir and he mentioned that "நான் காட்சியை சாதாரணமாகத் தான் வைத்தேன், இப்படியெல்லாம் யோசித்து வைக்கவில்லை " .
    recently Pandiyarajan spoke about his movie "Aaan Paavam" and said “everybody says about every scene with more details / kuriyeedu but I didn't think that way.. it was jus simple scene”.
    I guess nowadays reviewers are exaggerating the scenes with more explanation / kuriyeedu but anyhow it was interesting review and got few details like “Oh ippadiyum irukka” :-) .
    All the very best.
