On wintery night way back in 1987, my dear friend Shankar and I saw Vertigo in Chanakya, the evening show, which left us breathless. After the the Hitchcock feast we were not very sure if we should accept another friend Suresh's invitation to his Karol Bagh Adda for an all night exposition of Tamil Films which were released for Diwali that year, Manithan, Nayagan and a Suresh and Nadia starrer. We had been continuously receiving rave reviews of Nayagan and decided to take the plunge on shivering drive through the dark Buddha Jayanthi Park. We had to patiently wait for Nayagan to be screened by two in the night. There were about twenty people watching the movie. All through the movie there was not only pin drop silence throughout the movie but not even once did anybody get to use the restroom. It was just stunning. I can just visualize the happiness that Kamal experienced after completing the film. Even though there has been a lot said and written about Kamal, this article is certainly special and gives a certain perspective to thought process of a highly driven professional.
Enjoy the article, Of course Velu Nayakan doesn’t dance
