Sunday Afternoon Regional Film!
In the weekly Regional show this time I saw yet another popular Kamal Hassan Tamil film-the action packed Vettri Vizha-1989 on Amazon Prime with English subtitles.
The film is about an attack on a man (Kamal Hassan) and how he loses his memory.
He somehow realizes that there are many who want to eliminate him but as he is suffering from amnesia,he cannot find out its reason. In a quest to save himself and also find his true identity he solves bigger conspiracies.
Robert Ludlum's action packed best seller novel "The Bourne Identity" has had more than its share of Indian fans. Infact Indian films have been so impressed with it that many top actors have worked in their own versions on it. Salman Khan in Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge,Naseer uddin Shah in Zee Tvs episodic serial Tarkash,Mithun in Avinash and Cheetah were all based on the novel. Infact Amitabh and Tinnu Anand were also working on their own version Shanaakht but it was shelved. Vettri Vizha is Kamal Hassans version to the suspense action novel directed by Prathap K. Pothen and was the most successful version commercially.
The film is a big budget action saga where Kamal is in full form as the action star. The film has Prabhu,Khushboo,Amala, Sasikala and Salim Ghouse in important roles. The film is technically very well made and shot interestingly in Goa and Madras. The background music is great and the action sequences are excellent. The film has very fast pace and though kind of predictable now still manages to keep one interested. Infact one can see some sequences of this popular Tamil film being re-used in some scenes of Soldier,Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Wanted.
The film ofcourse has its share of flaws. For me the Prabhu-Khushboo romantic and the forced comedy scenes were unrequired. Then the eccentric Sadhu angle and following song looks very odd and breaks the mood of the film. The film leaves a lot of open points which are not fully closed like the karate master,the court twist etc.
Performances wise also I didn't find Prabhu appealing and Khushboo were ok. Sasikala was decent but Amala with limited screen time creates maximum impact amongst the screen.
The film however remains really entertaining due to Kamal Hassan and Salim Ghouse. Salim Ghouse in his big Tamil debut succeeds in being the psychotic villain and he tried using same style of villainy later in Koyla and Maharaja( both didn't work though). The USP of the film remains its Hollywood style action which is very well choreographed.
In the end its again a Kamal show who is at his peak as action hero of 1980s after Sathya and Vikram. His command on martial Arts makes the action sequences particularly the helicopters chase one, the elevator fight and Arnold's COMMANDO hand to hand combat climax stand out.
All in all an entertaining actioner though flawed yet interesting to the source!!

Sunday Afternoon Regional Film!
Today in the tradition of Doordarshan telecast of Regional Indian film, I watched the Tamil classic 16 Vayathinile-1977! I had always heard and read about this cult film but finally got the opportunity of watching it now on Amazon Prime with English subtitles!
The film is about a beautiful young village girl (Sreedevi) who just attains puberty and has dreams of making it big. A slightly crippled( mentally and physically) and unkept guy (Kamal Hassan) is her biggest admirer and trues in vain to impress her. Then there is the village ruffian (Rajnikanth) who lasts for her and there is a veterinary doctor (Sathyaraj) whom the girl likes.
How the lives of all these characters are connected make the crux of the film.
Bharthiraaja made this film at a time when most Tamil films were high on emotion, action and romance but seldom touched such realism. The rural life is far from filmy and shot with much authenticity. This is one of the major Tamil films which was shot extensively in outdoors to capture the village feel.
The story is powerful and the cast primarily of the 3 legends make it an unforgettable film. Sreedevi plays the lead with perfection and even at 15-16 of real age gives such a natural performance. Rajnikanth as the lusty villain is menacing and his fan following as a stylish villain soared with this. Though he has lesser screen time yet he delivers a solid punch. However, the best performance of the film is by the powerhouse Kamal Hassan! As the slightly retarted, lame and unkept villager he gives one of his best ever performance. His body language, expressions and the get up made sure that one can not forget his act. Infact his character of Chappani looks like a prequel of his later cult Telugu hit Swathi Muthyam (which was further remade into Eeshwar).
Bharthiraaja later remade 16 Vayathinile in Hindi as Solva Saal with Sreedevi and Amol Palekar but it flopped.
However , 16 Vayathinile still stands tall as a landmark Indian film which catapulted the 3 top stars of Tamil cinema to real stardom. It was a big hit and also got several awards. Though it is a commercial film with great songs from maestro Illayraja,yet it carries same realism punch and importance as the Hindi new wave cinema of 1970s by Shyam Benegal starring the new crop of awesum actors ,most noticeably in Ankur and Nishant!!

Doordarshan Zindabad! In 1993-1997 Shekhar Suman had become the most popular Tv star in Hindi and his serials were running to full TRP on DD metro-Dekh Bhai Dekh, Zee Tv-Andaz and later Sony -Movers and Shekar! However, Monday nights REPORTER on Doordarshan not just got huge popularity but lot of acclaim to him as well. In school days didnt watch most of episodes as they were a bit serious investigation as compared to the suspense thriller Tuesdays of Doordarshan-Tehkeekat! However, now that the maker Vinod Pande has uploaded lots of epsiodes online I saw the saga of Stock market which is spread across 4 thrilling episodes. HATS OFF to Vinod pande and team for being so bold wayback in 1994 to show the episodes apparently based on Harshad Mehta (name changed) scam of 1992. The episodes are so well shot and enacted that they look real with fiction added. The cult web series by Hansal Mehta- Scam 92 OfCourse is a master act and so well researched that nothing can tough it. However, considering the boundaries of Door darshan and that too immediately when the scam happened, I found it a brave attempt. The entire cast including Raj Kiran and Natasha acted well , but Shekhar Suman has never acted so naturally well!!
