INTERVIEW

2010-04-07T06:01:00.000-07:00

Based on real incident happened in my life.

I did not remember how I reached there. I did not remember the sequence of things happened that morning. I felt like I suddenly spawned there in front of the gate. My mood was fresh and I was wearing white full hand shirt, black pant, and a new jockey. I knew it was my day. I knew it very well.

I walked towards the door. The glass door opened automatically when I walked towards it. The obstacles are moving away from me, I thought. I went straight to receptionist to inquire about my scheduled interview. As I was walking towards the receptionist, the chillness of air increased. She was sitting on the chair with her head down reading some novel.

'Excuse me,' I said in a low voice.

She lifted her head up to see me. I was stunned by her look. She was awesome. I have never seen such a beautiful girl before. It was very easy to guess that she was from Kerala from her appearance. My heart started flying in the sky. I didn't know the reason for that. I couldn't believe that such beauty would exist in this world. I couldn't speak.

'yes?' she asked me.

After an ordeal, I uttered,' I came here for an interview. I want to know the place.'
'Oh! Yeah. Your name?'

No one would believe if I say that I had forgotten my name. I couldn't recollect it for a moment. I stammered and asked, 'what?'

'Your name?' she asked again.

'Koushik. Koushik KR' I told.

She typed something and told me, 'go straight and take left,' pointing her lovely fingers towards east.

I did not want to go anywhere. I looked at her eyes. They were impressive. I tried to read her name from her badge: Urvashi." There was all chances for her to mistook me in many possible ways while I was reading her name. With a heavy heart, I moved from that place. My mind was fully occupied. I forgot about the interview. I just walked straight and turned left.

'Koushik?' a lady voice asked me.

'Yeah.' I replied as though I am released from a spell.

'Welcome Koushik. I am Menaka, HR,' the lady said and lent her hands.

She was also so beautiful. I couldn't believe my eyes again. How can these two most beautiful girls be in one company, they should be scattered, I thought. Her sent was mesmerizing, her face was lovely and grace, her eyes were radiant. She smiled. Her smile had the divine nature of wiping off all the sorrows in one's heart. I gave my hands. The touch was soft but firm. She asked me to sit and went inside a glass room.

My eyes followed her. I couldn't take my eyes out of her. She too knew it. She, at times, would look at me to ensure that my eyes were not diverted from her. She would smile every time. I found the meaning of love at first sight. I started loving her madly or I should say I became mad. All the love movies, dialogues, which appeared foolish till the day before, began to make sense. I felt no mass, time and energy. I smiled at myself. I started believing in God because no human can ever give birth to such a beauty. She must me a daughter of Venus or Venus herself, I thought.
I really don't know how long I had waited in the chair looking at her; only at her. She came out and went behind a wooden door. My vision couldn't go beyond that. I started looking at the way she walked. They too looked beautiful. My eyes looked inside the glass room. I know the man who was being interviewed. He was Karthikeyan, my friend and classmate. I was sure about that. He didn't tell me that he was attending the interview. I didn't tell him too.

Menaka opened the wooden door and came back. I felt my life was coming back again. It was an awesome feeling. She looked straight into my eyes. I couldn't dodge. She read all my thoughts. I know she really did. I tried to read from her thoughts from her eyes, but there were too deep. I could only fall into it. My heart was full of lust and I complexly forgot that I came there for an interview.

She came to me and asked, 'Koushik, are you ready?'

'yeah.'

'I wish I meet Rambha too. Two most beautiful girls' acquaintance in one day. I should really crack the interview. It is really a heaven,' I said to myself.
She guided me to the door and opened the door for me. Karthikeyan was about to leave. He looked back at me. He was not happy. He screwed his interview, I thought. I went through the other door in that room.

'Koushik, this is M.D Raj and Raj, this is Koushik,' Menaka gave an intro and left the room. I took the seat and it was warm. I wanted to concentrate on the interview but lust was playing its game. All my concentration are scattered and I was dumb.
'Tell me something about yourself,' said Raj.

'I… I… I am Koushik; currently working,' I thought for a moment. I got confused whether I should use "at" or "for". I continued with for and told him about my accomplishments, my nature, my behavior, and attitude. I would say that they weren't lies but little over-hyped things about me.

Raj had my resume on his laptop. He read it carefully like a doctor reading the medical report. His face didn't was plain devoid of expressions. I couldn't guess what impression had I made. He started his questions.

'Tell me about your working style.'

It was an unusual opening question to me. I have attended few interviews before but none had asked me like this. That is why Karthikeyan got screwed, I realized. My inner me forced me to give my best to get the job and the girl…s.

'I believe in smart working style than hard working. I take responsibilities and good at decision making. I can be a good team player,' I said some part of my "about me" again and some new things. I did not know whether I was answering his question. I simply talked.

'Good, what do you think about our company?'

I was not prepared for this question. I should know everything about a company before attending the interview, but I didn't collect proper information. I didn't know why I didn't do that. I forgot the name of the company in that tension. Figures of Menaka and Urvashi crossed my mind. I forgot myself again.

'This is a very great place to work. Awesome peers and cool work culture. I have never seen such a beautiful place before. It is lot of fun.'

'Is it?' Raj asked me.

I was back to my senses. I don't know what to say. 'yeah.'

He smiled. He asked me about the expectations, qualification, what I did in my work, etc.

I answered everything. He didn't ask much about data structures, algorithms, and languages. He asked about many general things. It was more like a HR interview. I answered everything. The question and answer session turned into a chatting session. We started talking about what I do after work, home town visits, my family, friends, other interests etc.

In the back of my mind, I was thinking how could the first round be HR. Usually it would be technical and last round will be HR. This was so weird. Either he should have completely satisfied with me and going to heir me or he has hired someone already and trying to chuck me out, I thought.

'No no no, in the later case he would ask about cloud computing, AI, distributed algorithms and put me in a tough position. He won't speak like this. He is going to heir me,' I said to myself.

The time flew. Menaka entered the room again. My face brightened like a lamp. They spoke about something which I did not want to overhear.

He told,' I am done and my friend Gupta will interview you shortly. Please wait here.'

Menaka was sitting with me. I wanted to start a conversation but her overwhelming beauty made me to sit and watch her.

'Koushik, how was your interview?' Menaka asked me.

I wan on cloud nine. I should not lose this opportunity, I thought.

'Yeah, it was fine. How is the life here?'

'Very good. This has the lowest attrition rate…' she spoke and I was seeing only the movements of her lips. I went deaf. My body was getting warmer and the hot blood reached my brain which was dormant. We chatted but it didn't seem long. Most of the time she was speaking and I was just seeing her. I am sure that I didn't get useful thing out of that conversation. I could realize that she was telling company policies, about people there, etc, but my brain couldn't process anything. I simply nodded.

The door opened and a tall guy entered. He must be Gupta, I thought.

'hello Koushik, I am sure you had a nice time.'

I blushed and continued listening to him, 'I am Gupta.'

I didn't know what he was referring to. About the interview or the chat with Menaka, I thought and nodded.

Menaka left the room again. This time I felt very sad. It was like my soul was going out of the room. I forcefully stopped looking at her while she was leaving and saw Gupta. He was looking at her. I couldn't control my anger. He was literally ogling at her. I didn't like that guy. I felt a strong possessiveness towards her.
Gupta opened his laptop and gave it to me. There was a SQL console already opened and logged in.

'Write a query to get the table with table name "kokrcsco2323122719861230IND".
That was an easy one. I typed the query in no time. The table name was little weird and tough to type. I didn't get the results immediately. The database should be very huge, I thought.

After few seconds, I got a messed up table in the console. I turned the laptop towards him.

'No need. Write a query to get the contents in the column name"faults" in that table.'

It was another easy query and again I got messed up result. Too bad, I thought.
Filter the result with a query to get the rows with column "year" value between 09 to 10.'

This was little long query but not a tough one. I got another messed up result.
'filter the result again with column "time" between 02 to 05 and date equals 7-4-10'.
This is really a tough query to write. I took time and complted it after five minutes. I didn't get a messed up result. It was clear. I could read it. I tried to read from the last.

"Conjuring Gupta with all possible ill words." I was shocked to read it. I read the line above: "Looking at Menaka with all possible wrong intentions." I quickly scrolled up and started reading from the beginning.

"1) Wrong intentional look at Urvashi.
2) Intentionally wrong look at Urvashi.
3) Leaving reception without thanking Urvashi.
4) Killing 6 ants on the way to door with boots.
5) Very wrong thoughts about Urvashi while walking.
6) Switching from Urvashi to Menaka without loyalty.
7) Nailing thoughts about Menaka.
"
I don't want to read further. My eyes moistened. I felt ashamed. My head hung automatically. Gupta was staring at me. I couldn't face him. Tear drops fell on my white shirt.

'We have terminated all you software professionals leaving very few exceptions. You guys are so sick but you think that you are the most intelligent, genuine, decent, professionals. So me and my boss decided to terminate all of you.'

'You didn't even heir me yet,' I demanded.

Gupta laughed and said, 'I am Chitra Gupta, database admin in hell. My boss Ema Dharma Raj is the Chief executive and chief commissioner of terminators. We terminated your life at 2 AM today and currently we are analyzing your fault count. Long integers can't hold it.'

'I am dead, oh! Bullshit,' I exclaimed.

Raj came into the room.

'He is all yours now, said Chitra Gupta and left the room.'

I couldn't believe that I was dead. It was like watching sixth sense movie. I was full of void when Ema explained me about my entire life cycle, my good behaviors, which was short and my bad behaviors, which went on like infinite loop. I was in no mood to listen to it as I was dead.

He asked got the laptop from me and run the query again. The row count increased by three.

'You shall go to hell, ' said Ema.

With a very sad mood and face I got up from my seat. Menaka was bringing another person in. I know this guy too, I thought. It was Kowshik Prakasam, my friend and classmate.

'They do it class wise,' I said to myself. I looked at Menaka, her lovely face before crossing the line, from which I wouldn't be visible to others and others wouldn't be able to see me. Seeing my dear crush's face I crossed the line. Ema ran the query again. The row count had increased by few hundreds.

Two guides took me to the campus tour of hell. While travelling in the hell with them, I told them, 'your data admin is so sick. The tables can be normalized further.' They started at me.

Last question I asked them was, 'Is she married?' I didn't get the answer for that but I wouldn't care for it. They laughed at me.

After telling about all the places, they told me, 'You couldn't have possibly lived a worse life than what you see here.'

I said, 'You are wrong.'

Both asked me in surprise an in unison, 'why all software engineers say the same thing?'

I laughed at them. It was a happy ending.

PS: This is based on my true incident because this incident happened in my real life dream, which is a part of real life incident.

............................................................................................................................................
One man show by Dr. Aandavar kamal hassan....sorry!!!!!! ten man show by Dr.kamal. Hollywood style screenplay without bothering about story, the movie is extremely mind boggling. The comedy touch by the dialog writer Dr. Kamal is brilliant. The crew has tried to be perfect in each shot. Birds (crows) flying in the climax fight is beautiful n has made lot of sense. Pattabhi is rockin thruout the film with his english, i loved the way he tells "S"(yes). Camera work n graphics are much better than indian movies(but not up to the par with Hollywood). Tons n tons of improvement in ravikumar's direction(Director dharani's touch). Yea! he should have learnt lot of things from aandavar also. It is very difficult to say who is the best performer, of course kamal... but which kamal is the best? Hard to find. A 3 hour movie with no duet is really new to indian movies with big budgets. Thanks to producer for allowing director to do such experiment in this mighty project. New tamil n sanskrit words are in the script. Asin was good in actin but her characterization is bitter. Mallika is "ass"usual "pro"fessional in her own way of acting. Too many things in one movie like biowar, God, chaos theory, Tsunami, sand loot.Though amazing and marvelous effort, i am not sure will indians be able to digest :( (Anbae sivamae flop agirukku...). Thoush dasavadharam is gr8 in many aspects, kamal's best is hey ram even now. Let me see this 10 more times let you know his best has changed or not.

INDIAN:
Many of u might have observed this too.

Senapathy { Indian Thatha } tells manisha koirala that he sacrificed his Moustache for the sake of his baby boy Chandru as it used to hurt him while kissing.

In the last scene, after killing Chandru, Senapathy calls up the Police from some unknown foreign location. Here, he is dressed in full suite and very interestingly, he is seen to sport a moustache.-- a very subtle piece of direction . { Of course , the director was Shankar, but we all know how K's intelligence catches on the other crew around him.

Senapathy being a freedom fighter names his kids as Chandra Bose and Kasturi, in respect of Netaji Subash and Kastur Bai Gandhi.

SCENE IN THE HOSPITAL where Koundamani is admitted. Nedumudi Venu { CBI officer} comes there and says " Chandrabose, come with me to the commisioner's office".

KAMAL --- " Commisionera enakku nalla theriyum ...."

CBI ---- " That does not matter... just come with me"

Now, Kamal's face changes from expression of "False pride" to "nosecut and shame".

HeyRam
Kamal is making his plans to kill Gandhi in his private room , he is welding something , wearing a cooling glass. He gets a telegram saying - finish off Gandhi in the next few weeks.
At that time, Iyengaar people come on the road singing THIRUPPAVAI bhajans. Usually, this happens in Margazhi month { December 15 to Jan 14 }

So , markazhi + next few weeks = January 30 th = Gandhi's death

A perfect correlation of timings.
In HEY RAM, RECOLLECT the scene where Kamal half heartedly agrees to go and see Vasundara das . As the car enters the agraharam { Brahmin households near the temple } , Kamal sees the temple elephant with the Thirunamam on its forehead.
In a flash , his mind goes back to the Calcutta riots where he would have seen an elephant with its mahout { Yaanaippagan } dead. The elephant would be deserted , ready to go on a rampage with nobody to control, nobody to guide , nobody to take it to where it belonged . Kamal would have been in exactly the same state after his wife's brutal death and would have gone on a killing spree.
Then , immediately, his mind comes back to the present, and he again stares at the temple elephant , which has been "Iyengarised" by the temple authorities.

A mysterious mixture of expressions on Kamal's face.

When first time saket ram meet abyankar... they both tell Abivadhaye...which is a ritual in that religion to introduce oneselve.

Moreover, when he gets sanyasam, after dipping in the holy river, he cuts his holy thread and also his Arnakayaru, which is also tied in him from his birth.

Black and white for current and color for past indicates Gandhi brought color this is further reinstated toward the end when we see Gandhiji's painting in the wall and when the window is opened, light comes in - Gandhiji showed us the light
Nasser and the riots give an idea that violence was there when Gandhiji was there as well as at the current day - Nasser is just trying to do his duty to pacify the riots while Saket Ram the old man dies, he shows a helpless face - trying to say that similarly Gandhi also tried his best but invariably lives were taken away. If Nasser was the cause for Saket Ram's death then Gandhi is the cause for the other deaths during pre-independence partition time. Kamal again proves he is a great director.
His allegory that a blind girl helpless is amidst all those violent killings is a representation for innocent people amidst cruel blood thirsty individuals such as himself who killed for a cause but still can see the pain and suffering in spite of the obvious. So in short is tooth for tooth and eye
During the killing of Rani Mukherjee pyrotechnics were used - a technical stand point equal to its english counterparts Saving Private Ryan/Band of brothers etc... where similar technics were used - blood oozing scene for instance.
Also during the recollection of her killing he juxtaposes a lizard which struggles around in blood - which symbolizes a species that is carnivorous and quite a killer for filling its stomach still does not like being pushed in a pool of blood. Its way too intelligent to even explain in words.
The exchange of ideas of Atul Kulkarni and his second wife Vasundara Das is a exchange of dialogue between the good and the evil(remember Atul says it is not wrong if you think in the hunter's angle and not in the hunted's angle) - where his one side of the brain vouches to be a Gandhian while the other to be a Hitler - which is obviously also juxtaposed in another scene where his mind oscillates between a Hitler's photo, a Gandhi's photo and to balance it a hindu Goddess's photo - between whats good, whats bad and whats right! (Brilliant typical of a legendary director at work)
When Atul Kulkarni passes on the gun to Saket Ram, so does he pass a hatred
This hatred is so strong that it preempts Vasundhara's element of good nature which could have easily gotten into Saket Ram but he juxtaposes the anger superseding his wife's good moral values by showing a violent love making scene where he tames the good over the evil. He again symbolically represents a heavy duty gun being used for target practice that his mind thinks but his body merely makes love.or eye the right thing? - The allegoric metaphor of the poor little blind girl says it all.
Gandhi is shown to have a light sense of humor and down to Earth. That coupled with the fact that Shah Rukh Khan (Amjed)' dialogue exchanges stating we can all be brothers in his usual bubly manner tells us that both are light humored people and are taking the bigger issues very easily and in a very intellectual and sensible manner. He gets a feeling his friend's death would serve a cause if Gandhi is let go. He becomes a Gandhian eventually. These are thoughts that slowly creeps into the audience's head while watching - another genius directorial step - and Kubrick and co are the ones who can easily do such feats.

Avvai shanmugi:

In "Rukhu Rukhu " song some lines will end with the word PANDI,
"Pandi" will be kamal's name in that movie....
Ex: thunukulum irupandi
thurumbilum irupandi....................

Kamal's daughter recognises him even as he is dressed as maami, and when Kamal asks her how she came to know , she says that he recognised him by his smell.

Now, thats a very simple thing, but a more sensible , affectionate and natural way of recognising someone close to u. Compare that with "non sense" types of cinematic things eg: Family song , Family story , "paal paayaasam" { Refer to movie Paalum Pazhamum } , Iduppu macham etc etc.

GUNA

guna starts with pournami and as the
movie progresses, moon was also shown at each
quarters like waning crescent, new moon, waxing crescent etc
and the climax ends on a pournami.

When Abirami escapes, she uses a hacksaw blade to cut down the chain.Once Kamal comes in he realizes that Abirami has escaped and he immediately takes out the hacksaw from the ground and touches his cheeks with that.

This is to identify how much heat is still left in the blade...if the blade is hot then she might not have gone for a longer distance...t

A song sequence...the beauty of this song is that even if u dont watch the full film and watch the song u can understand about what the film is......the song is PARTHA VIZHI PARTHA PADI...........this song starts with abirami crossing kamal in temple.....he will go behind her.......he wil say a dialogue that '''ITHU ABIRAMIYA?'''''...........the visual will poetically say that """"YA SHE IS YOUR ABIRAMI"""""...........

1..his head hits on a bell which indicates that she is abirami.

2..his hand hits on a hand board which will rotate and point out in the direction of the her which is also a indication.

3.. A cloth will fly in air showing sun light on kamal,,,,showing that his darkness is removed..

4..when he stands in queue,the security will say stand in line by showing his hand towards her...he takes it as that he says she is the one whom you are searching for.

5..when he stands before her to recieve laddu from her she will say wait for a minute with her hand...it shows lord abirami is blessing him in the form of her..

only becaus of these reasons he is stubborn that she is abirami...........

anbae sivam

ithula nariya vishayam pothichu iruku,,
en moolaiku ethuvumae etala..

in the scene wer madavan cries for the boys death in ambulance..
he throws the ball to a tree...it bounces and goes and into the water and comes back up..
the ball has a globe in it..world map
it means world will reflect u...even if u throws it is disgrace

in the climax kamal says to nasser
naan oru tool..ayutham..kathir aruthavudanae aruvaala keela vachuranum..aani adichavidanae suthiyaiyum atha thaan cheiyanum

both sre the symbol of communism.. hammer and a aruvaa..

Virumandi

In Virumandi, during the scene abhirami delivers food
to kamal, pasupathy, bala singh and others, abhirami
says to kamal, "chee. peekaadellam suthiputtu appadiye sapda okkaru,
poi kayya kazhuvittu vaa". On seeing this, pasupathy will hide
his hand behind the back. This is a nice short humour, probably
unnoticed by many.

Thenali:

In Thenali, when kamal meets Jayaram for the first time (He is a wonderful actor too) kamal tells all his phobias n irritates him. That was very hilarious...there was no limit for the laughter we had on watching the scene...but within a fraction of a sec, the whole atmosphere changes..when he tells his story in war torn srilanka..It takes us to the other extreme of sadness...The acting was wonderful...I haven't seen that in many cases...

MAHANADHI

The story tells us about the ups and downs in a man's life and equates it with how a river flows thru mountains and plains , has floods and droughts , sometimes flows out of course and finally becomes calm and joins the sea.
So, all characters in the movie , who are shown as good natured people have names of rivers.
KRISHNASWAMY { kamal }
Narmada --- first wife
Yamuna ------- Sukanya
Godavari ----- SN lakshmi { mother in law}
Kaveri ---- daughter
Barani ------------ son
Punjabakesan ---- Poornam viswanathan { Punjab = 5 rivers}

when both the two children go to the central jail to meet their father to get some help for their ailing grandmother.....they first go and ask a constable with a gun to let them in....in that scene the little boy will be highly tempted to touch the gun and hold it...if u note carefully...that is a subtle example to how young minds are tempted towards guns.

KAMALHASSAN is a "mahanadhi " , when compared to the small ponds and drainage gutters around him.

during the scene in which kamal
and his friend's family were discussing about their school days,
kamal's son come and takes a cigarette packet, which kamal
notices and stares and then his son comes and apologises ...
but everything was handled at the background, with no dialogues .
watch closely the scene where Kamal opens the new chit fund company. When the CHIEF GUEST { main villian} presents the cheque , Dhanush calls everybody to pose for a photograph. When the still is clicked , Dhanush's hand would be touching the cheque , as if he is the one receiving it.
From the left corner , kamal would be trying to reach out for it , but there will be few inches gap between the cheque and heis hand. Thats a subtle indication that in future also , Dhanush is going to double cross and cheat kamal.

when kamal was in jail, her
daughter attains age and she comes to see him. First
he was surprised by her dress and asks "enna idhu pottu,
dhaavani ellam". For that her mother in-law doesnt answer
directly but instead replies "pona vaati vandhuttu ponome ...
iva ara varusha paritchayila pass pannitta"

VetayaduVilayadu

Kamal brings in some workers to dig out the ground where he strongly suspects that Prakash Raj's daughter has been buried by her murderers.
The workers start digging very fast. Kamal says " HEY, Medhuva ...."
Worker says " Saar , edaavadhu PORUL thenpatta , niruthiduvom"
Kamal says " Inga PORUL eduvum irukkaadhu ...... Po .... " { He is about to say Ponam thaan irukkum} , but just holds back without completing the statement.

Kamal uses a Apple laptob.
It was shown clearly in Hotel room.
Later when the finger with chilli images were compared n the same laptop. Remeber the operating system is Mac OS X. He didn't use any windows product there.
Perfection in his work..... WoW!!!!!!

Ragahavan avana kadipa pidichu aaganum,.. naan en rani kaaga sollala.. evano oruthan oru ponna ippadi pannitu suthikitu irukanu nenaikrapo kasthama iruku.."

Kamal replies.. "Dont worry Sir!!.. I will get him.. sorry WE WILL get him sir!!".
a subtle expression of respect..

Similarly.. When he explains the details abt the murders and his investigation to the American police dept. At the end of his speech. he says.."we will get our MAN.. sorry SUSPECT"..
unless you prove the suspect guilty, one cannot rule him/her to be the culprit..

KURUDIPPUNAL

Of the 2 spies sent by Arjun and Kamal, the first commits suicide. Kamal and Arjun see his dead body in the mortuary. The doctor says " Heavy dose of cyanide poisoning". Arjun places his left hand near the dead man's face and starts feeling sad because both the spies were very close to Arjun.

Kamal brings his hand close to Arjun's hand and everyone expects that he will say some consoling words to Arjun. But, Kamal sees the watch on Arjun's hand and immediately asks " Trichy train ethana manikku ? " .{ As per the spy's info, some important terrorist would be boarding that particular train.
Master stroke yet again ....

Scene1
---------
When people started attacking Kamal's office the watchman of kamal's office steals Kamal's wrist watch.

Scene2
---------
Kamal wants to meet Dhanush (V.M.C Haneefa) so he comes to Dhanush's house and tells that watchman that he wants to meet Dhanush.The watchman could not recognize Kamal initially.He sees the time in his watch and he immediatly starts fighting with Kamal by asking Oh Neeya ?

The watchman - Same watchman from scene 1
The watch - The one that he has stolen from Kamal in scene1

When Kamal comes back home in the middle of the night after not being able to trace Nasser's hide out , he comes and takes a shower bath.

We can notice that he is covered with dirt and filth from head to toe. That is an indirect portrayal that he has betrayed his Nation and a true friend Arjun for his personal reasons.

So, he washes the dirt , becomes clean and the very next day , sets out fearlessly to kill Nasser and company.

A simple, subtle touch ....

Apoorva sagodirargal

Sethupathy {kamal} and Srividya argue about the name to be given to their kid.

Kamal says APPADURAI {his dad's name }
Srividya says Muthukkaruppan {Her dad's name}

Shortly after this , Kamal is killed . Srividya escapes with one baby.

And after 25 years, the movie comes to the present time , we are introduced to dwarf Kamal and not surprisingly, Srividya has fulfilled her dead husband's wish by naming her son as APPADURAI.

Before the murder of Jayashankar....Raja kamal will be trying to enter in the same manner as what Appu Kamal did.He will pull out the rope which is tied to a big wood block at the other end.
Janakaraj and Shivaji comes to that place,they will start laughing and say to Kamal "Hands Up".Kamal leaves the rope and the wooden block hits both Janakaraj and Shivaji...and Kamal enters in.

After this there will be two scenes where Janakaraj says to Kamal "Hands up"...one inside Jaishankar's house at the stair case,one where Appu Kamal rescues Raja from police...if you notice in both the scenes after saying "Hands Up" Janakaraj immediately looks up..

Just to ensure that there is no wooden block that will fall on them.

Aalavandan

When Nandu kills manisha and sets fire to her body... he comes out of the room, where vijay see him..

Immdly you can see the Alarm goes on and water falls out of the celing.

First, my friends didnt understand this and was askng why water is shown unnecessarily.

But , in star hotels , they have automatic alarms which detects fire or smoke and immdly water showers down.

This is one more minute detail which was presented in the film.

Panchathanthiram

When they all meet at a function... where suddenly simran enters... and he gossips seperately with simran and ramya...

when he's back ... oorvasi will ask him... " En Unga vai konala irukku "..

For that kamal will reply ... " Sariya shave pannale...OPTICAL ILLUSION "..

But if u watch clearly...Kamal's French Beard will not be perfect in that scene..

so , its not only the dialogue, even the beard had been taken care to coorelate with the dialogue.

The scene where Kamal, Sreeman and 'Yoogi' Sethu take the dead body out of the room and take it in the corridor.. They'll be trying to put the dead body in the laundry vent so that Jayaram and Ramesh Arvind waiting in the ground floor can pick it up..

While Kamal, Sreeman and Sethu take the dead body in the corridor, suddenly a couple will come by lift which will be near the laundry vent.. All the three will sit for a moment on seeing them.. At that time, Kamal will be whistling the tune of "Sorgam enbathu namakku" song from Nammavar.. If U note keenly, when Kamal is whistling this tune, Sethu next to him will be wiping the floor.

the reg.no of foreign van they used in the film is TN R 05 5

Dasavatharam
Song---Kallaimattum kandal.....
There one is line in the song which goes like this
"rajalakshmi naayagan sreenivaasanthaan
sreenivaasan sei intha vishudaasan naan"
he has used his parents name in this song.

All these were posted by different ppl in kamal hassan's community. I tried to classify based on movie name.
Kamal vazga....

For Kamal fans.

2008-06-06T06:08:00.000-07:00

The great actor of all times Dr. Ilaya thalapathi vijay got the tamil remake rights of speilberg's "Catch me if u can". Director perarasu is directing the movie in tamil. Music by srikanth deva. The movie title is "chicago" tag is "ambalaya irundha pudichu paar".
Manasa thethikoonga.... padam arambikka pogudhu.........
The movie starts in palayam kottai jail. A man with cargo pant and red shirt was standing showing his back to the audience. The beats slowly getting faster and the legs that belongs to cargo pant started to move and then comes the lyrics "Chicago.... Chicago... Chicagoooooooo........ Cococola brown colour da... enga akka ponnum adhey colouru da....." the man turns and shows his face to the audience.No one wud have expected such a twist. It was vijay.he dances sooooooooo well for that song.
The song ends and then comes the villain mr.kocha who is dhadha of palayamkottai.
kocha: Cicago... enna da ooru pera vechukittu suthara? yaru da unakku andha peyar vechadhu?
The baground music(copied from terminator) is playin and a man entering the screen and punches kocha's face. His muscular arms was pan in closeup and the man takes off his hand .He was none other than director perarasu. He starts delivering the dialogues. "nan dhan da avanukku andha per vechaen".
Kocha: Nee yaru da?.... Perarasu: Yenna pathu tamil natula yaru nu keta mudhal aal nee dhaan.
kocha: Avana na nee!!!!! Aala vidungada... inimael indha jailku mokka dhadha nee dhan.
and he escapes with serious ear injury after hearing both vijay and perarasu's dialogues. But pity audience can't.
Our great hero inspite of lacking any super powers escapes from the jail by jumping across a 40 feet wall. Around 100 police men were with guns in all his sides. 360degree camera rotation. chicago's eyes in close up. The chief police officer sunderrajan says "Chicago.. Nee inimalu thapikka mudiyadhu. nalla matikitta.. pesama surrender agidu". Vijay refused to oblige and tryin to escape from that policemen's ring formation. sunder says "Fire".. bullets from the gun starts to fire but none of them hits vijay. but all the police men were dead within seconds because the bullet from one police man pierces other's head. so all are dead in minutes and sunder fires a bullet. it hits vijay shoulder(Thank god). he fell into kuvam(how can kuvam in palayamkottai?...... never mind)and escapes.
Heroine Asin's character name is kuruvamma a cheri girl. she live near kuvam and saves vijay. Love is to be building infront of them. When he touches kuruvamma's hand a love song begins in malaysia which another copied song from BSB. Vijay in violet pant and pink T shirt. Asin in violet skirt and pink top. The song again ends in kuvam. He again injures cheari rowdies with his action and words. Asin asks who r u? how come u get such a strength?tell me or not tell me who r u?
vijay replied: tellraen.....
The flash back begins in a press where he is a great kalla nottu vyabari and his atahi ponnu was trisha... They lovifyin each other and another love song in dubai... This was pure dapanguthu and not copied one but the costumes were. The song ends and police surrounds him. he escaped and said mudinja enna pudi... In that escape sequence he tried to imitate DiCaprio but ended up worse than Capri o's shit. Trisha takes the bullet which was fired at chicago and dies there. Audience were about to die.....
....................INTERVAl.....................
The next part is full of theft and escape sequences , fights and dapanguthu in round robin.
Blood shead and vomiting all over the theaters in the climax scene. Vijay kills the police who shot trisha dead and surrendered to police.He was sentenced life term in jail from where he has escaped and reached kuruvamma. The movie ends displaying "A Perarasu fim" tag.........
