Many times he would be denied permission to go that far to watch movies. He recalled his childhood days when he had to travel many kilomters to see a film. Speaking at the event, a visibly emotional Cheran said that there will never be another Sivaji. The event was attended by some leading directors, producers and veterans of the film industry. Sivaji plays the character of Karnan while N.T.R portrays Lord Krishna in the movie, written, directed and produced by B.Ramakrishnaiah Panthulu, based on an episode from the Mahabharatha. The movie, considered to be one of Sivaji Ganesan’s most iconic performances in a glorious career, also has Telugu legend N.T.Ramarao.
We are often invited to participate in the wages of lawlessness.The formal audio and trailer launch of the epic 1963 movie Karnan, which has been digitally re-mastered, took place yesterday at Satyam theatres. He is the ‘Common Man’ with an axe to grind. Dhanush’s character is constantly in a crowd of potential rioters and murderers. This fact we are given to ingest from the start. Every characters is a potential law breaker. Director Vetrimaaran seems suitably awed by the antisocial world that his characters inhabits. The scenes of gangwar and internecine rivalry are shot on suitable dark dingy desolate locations so that glorifying violence is never an option. When a local goon (there are so many of them it’s impossible to keep track) heckles the couple Dhanush’s Anbu gets murderous. The object of Dhanush’s adoration is Padma (Aishwarya Raj) who plays that emboldened impassioned street-smart sweetheart whom Dhnush loves to kiss in his films. He is lanky enough to carry off the role of a teenager in the first flush of love. So is Dhanush’s changing hairstyle over the decades.
To give the very routine gangster drama an epic feel, director Vetrimaaran (who earlier directed that raw Vissaranai about police atrocity) spreads the narrative and the characters into a stretched-out sprawl. The director Vetrimaan has had enough of it in his last film.
In Vada Chennai, he plays Anbu, a carrom player (like Siddharth in Chandan Arora’s Striker) who repeatedly ends up in jail where he befriends dons gangsters and dons’ and gangsters’ cronies. The slobbering raves for his new film are proof. VadaChennai: Dhanush has the Tamil audiences eating out of his hands.
