trundlerNO1 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Kiya Theek hai....Adhi Nangi Larki ki DP Laghai hai. If someone accidentally sees it, I look like some pervert*.
Precambrian Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I heard he is on a roll with the hits but I still rate Indrajith over him as an actor. Suggest u catch the movies I mentioned... He was the MOST hated actor in Kerala 2 years back, but now is among the most respected. The guy has managed to turn it around just with his performances. Sure shot superstar of the future he is.
Number Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 ^ You guys talking about Prithviraj Sukumaran ? He was in Hindi movie Aurangzeb too. Looked quite close to a Delhi cop. Decent performance.
Precambrian Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 No probs. I suggest you to watch Salangai Oli :icflove: Kamal went to same kind of trance, as he learnt many forms of dance. btw, I hate most of the tamizh movies and Kamal's brahmin preaching :--D Without learning any form of classical dance, Lal did Kamaladalam, and was considered one of the most nuanced classical performances in mal film industry. Vanaprastham too he attempted with very little preparation. His guru who trained him for the movie admitted that his performance was on par if not better than veterans with years of practise under their belt. Kamal is a method actor. One who goes to any extent to make his character perfect, the attention to detail he gives and preparations are unbelievable. He spends a lot of time on creating the right looks for his characters, painstakingly detailing out the movements, behavioural aspects etc. Much respect for that. Lal on the other hand is a born natural actor, who hardly does any prep work, but somehow transforms into the character the moment the camera starts rolling. Just take year 1987 - an year he did no fewer than 10 characters, each of them considered as immortal in malayali audience's minds. The characters he played included an underworld don (Irupatam nootand), happy-go-lucky bumbling type character (comedy classic Nadodikaatu), a pining romantic in love with a prostitute (Padmarajan's classic Thoovanathumbikal, considered to be one of the finest in history of mal cinema), a tramp-wanderer with a sad end (unnikale oru kadha parayaam), a remorseful person who cannot get away from haunting memories of his junior's death at college by ragging, of which he is the chief perpetrator (amrutham gamaya), an orphan tour guide who finds his love and family only to be cruelly denied by fate (January oru orma), a young man who just cannot let go of his beloved college and tries to extend it by doing multiple post graduations (the ever nostalgia-inducing Sarvakalasala), a reluctant somewhat irresponsible young man summoned hastily to lead his state pressurised by his fatherr, an ageing royal who wants his bloodline to be rulers of democratic Kerala (Bhoomiyile rajakkanmar) And the variation in appearance between these roles? Zero. Yet each of these roles are as diverse as chalk and cheese, and audience could identify with each of these. Such is his subtlety and naturality in essaying each of these characters. I think it's probably safe to say Kamal is like Sachin Tendulkar, meticulous, disciplined and one who fully understands his weaknesses and strengths and studiously eliminates the former. Lal is more like Brian Lara, for whom ultimately it's about natural flair.

Yep. he played a cop in Memories and mumbai police as well, but apart from being a cop by profession, absolutely nothing in common whatsoever.

The guy has managed to turn it around just with his performances. Sure shot superstar of the future he is. I never hated him but wasn't a big fan of his acting. Haven't watched any of those movies of him you stated, will do that now as Mumbai Police was recommended by plenty to me.
