Will Kamal films remain the same again?

The passing away of Vikram Dharma is a big loss to the Tamil film industry. The loss would be felt more severely by Kamal Hassan and his fans. I remember Kamal once saying that guys like Vikram Dharma are so good at what they do that, once you give a job to them you can be rest assured that what you get would be of very high quality indeed. High praise indeed from a hard task master. I would call Dharma's handling of the climax of Virumandi as his best effort ever. The fights in Mahanadi(the jail fight sequence) had that brutal touch of realism, that I still wince when I see Tulukanam puncturing Kamal's scrotch. However the stunt scenes in his other movies were normal, nothing extraordinary, which yet again emphasises the point that however good a cine artist maybe it is the director who brings the best out of them.

Even as I condole the passing away of this integral part of Kamal's team, I am left wondering whether Kamal's action movies will remain the same again?

Sis,
Point are there in your stats :):)
But actually not much of a fan these days. But can't be denied that there are not many guys in Tamil films about whom one can write sensible points on.
And anyways Kamal is to Tamil films what the Mahabharata is to reality. You can't just keep him off it. There will always be some connection.

Sridhar,
Big loss indeed....

Incidentally, he was a big fan of Aandavar [narpani iyakkam member in the 80's].

Bala I meant that I am not a noncriticising fanatic(veriyan)I probably once was. These days I criticise him too.
