Kamal is enjoying the success of ‘Vikram’. Discussions about Kamal’s screenplays have come to life again after a long hiatus. Are class works or cash collection films helping Kamal? What is his identity? – Fans with two different tastes alternately discuss. In fact, there is no denying that Kamal Haasan is the one who swam in both. Let’s compare his screen world class, monetary after the 90s.
Released in 1990, Kamal’s Michael Madana Kama, Rajan. Kamal gives a compelling screenplay titled ‘Guna’ (1991) next year to those who laughed heartily after watching this film directed by Singitam Siniwasa Rao. While the character of ‘Guna’ was deeply ingrained in the minds of the fans, (1992) he woke us up as ‘Singaravelan’. Kamal exchanged both types of cinemas for the fans on an equal footing.
‘Thevar Magan’ in 1992 and ‘Mahanadhi’ in ’94 were both films with serious and famous screenplays. The next film was ‘Sadililavathi’ in 1995. When one or two films were released as films with quality content, Kamal never failed to give the next film a hilarious commercial comedy. Following the films ‘Kuruthippunal’ and ‘Indian’, Kamal equated the taste of his two different fans with ‘Avvai Shanmuki’ in 1996.
It is important to examine this balance of his. An actor who does not give commercially hit films knows that it is difficult to survive on screen. At the same time, he knew that it was the duty of an artist to add justice to the cinema he loved, and to provide good cinemas. In 1998, he acted in ‘Kadhala Kadhala’. Then in the year 2000 he gave the film ‘Haram’ a look back at Indian cinema. Also in the same year, he entertained by giving a commercial cinema called ‘Denali’. If one year satisfies the commercial fans, the next year he has created a classic feast for the cinema lovers and added justice to his own film industry.
If you look at Kamal’s career after 2000, ‘Pammal Ke Sambandham’ (2002) and ‘Pancha Tantram’ (2002) were two commercial films in the same year. Next up was the ‘Virumandi’ drive with a compelling screenplay. After collecting ‘Vasool Raja MPBS’ and ‘Vettaiyadu Vilayadu’, he wrote and acted in ‘Dasavatharam’ as an attempt for his self-satisfaction.
It was a disappointment to the fans who were expecting a good commercial movie from Kamal after 2006. ‘Someone like you’, ‘Manmadhan Ambu’, ‘Viswaroopam’, ‘Uttama Villain’, ‘Thungavanam’ and ‘Viswaroopam 2’ were just going. Kamal’s last commercial hit was ‘Papanasam’.
Kamal Haasan made his presence felt in India by giving duff to Bollywood from the south in the 70s and 80s. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said that touching Kamal Haasan is the birthright of cinema. For Kamal Haasan, the star of such stars, Ajith and Vijay were the first to attract attention from 2K kids across India, especially at a time when the term inter-Pan-India was just beginning and fans were fighting over the Rs 100 crore club. In the meantime, Rajini made sure to achieve the collection and not miss his place. But, Kamal ..?
In such a situation, ‘Vikram’ is Kamal who wants to give a good commercial again. ‘Vikram’ was a treat for his commercial fans as well as a treat for the hungry. Given his past content and commercial cinema balance, if we fully focus on Kamal Cinema again, we can expect a cinema with a much better content in the next 5 years or so. But it is doubtful whether the commercial taste of ‘Vikram’ will allow for that.
