Pokkisham Movie Press Meet Stills
Posted: 22 Apr 2009 04:04 AM PDT
Completely made in Cheran's signature style, Pokkisham looks brilliant and as nostalgic and promising as Autograph. The film is certain to achieve the success of Autograph, in fact overtake it.In a press meet held recently, Cheran stated that the film will be presented through the protagonist's standpoint, while he flips through an old diary and his memories. When a reporter asked Cheran whether he is trying to repeat the successful formula of Autograph, the director replied that he chose the story because it was close to his heart and not because he wanted to exploit an already tried concept. He also added that it was very difficult to film this story, as it happens in Kolkotta of the 70s and it required immense hard work to replicate the old charm of the city.
Cheran also announced that the film is absolutely ready to hit the screens, but he prefers to release it after the elections.

We know that the climax of any movie is probably the most important part of it. It is that sequence which the audience carries back home. And only if it is strong enough, will an audience remember the movie for a long time. Given the actor/creator that Kamal Haasan is, most of his movies have a very well choreographed climax. This is a collection of six such great climax sequences from some of my favorite Kamal Haasan movies.
Kurudhi Punal
That coarse yet high pitched voice, that blood painted face,
that broken tooth, those eyes and he goes "SHOOT ME MY MAN, SHOOT ME, MY MAN - MY BOY , SHOOT ME - AND THATS A BLOODY ORDER." As a fan one feels this is the ultimatum - no actor can thrill more than this, and we surrender completely to Adinarayanan, I P S.
Pesum Padam / Pushpak
Singeetham Srinivasa Rao is at his allegoric best. The climax is definitely the most telling scene in the movie. One week of unexpected opulence comes to a calm and disturbing yet educative end and there we have our hero Kamal Haasan trying to explain all this just with his eyes, for he is not even allowed to speak a word. Matched graciously by a super cute Amala, this scene is a masterpiece in itself.
Devar Magan
A film and a role, which I always rate above Nayagan and feel that it should have definitely fetched Kamal the silver lotus award. This one ends with Kamal making all of us cry, holding the 'arivaal' in his hand and emoting those lines of regret and desperation at having been turned into a murderer. Only one man can write such lines and act them out too... that is Kamal.
Michael Madana Kama Rajan
Chaos, comedy, anxiety, and action. It doesn't get bigger and better than this. In what I consider as Kamal's best screenplay till date, the whole movie rushes into the wooden house on top of the hillock as if to say that things are now so chaotic that the whole narrative is now going to fall off from that building. Added to this remarkable setting, we have Crazy Mohan and Ilayaraja working their brains out to give the best dialogues and the best music respectively.
Moondram Pirai
The climax is what is actually Sridevi's 'moondram pirai' - her third birth. A birth which leaves Kamal devastated, in agony, in irreparable pain, almost in a state in which he had first found Sridevi. And who else but Kamal can enact this scene with such aplomb? The key is in the eyes. I am dead sure no other actor in the world can give that look of desperation as perfectly as Kamal does. His eyes talk more than anything else. Added to it, a bruised body, and a struggle to make the girl he saved remember him. It is like a 'beautifully sad' painting.
Aboorva Sahodarargal
The circus stage is set. There is a man hanging between life and death. A dwarf with a gun in hand to decide it and a widow waiting for justice! Just three pairs of eyes do all the acting and talking- Srividya's, Kamal's (appu) and Nagesh's. The first shows satisfaction and is happy that her husband's soul will now rest in peace. The second shows revenge and feels taller than ever. The third shows both fear and regret. There is one more thing that talks - Raaja's amazingly awesome background music.
