When Mallory was asked as to why he would like to climb
Everest, he said, because it was there.
Well, the same cannot be said for Kochadaiyaan, because Motion
Capture/Performance Capture has been already been done.
However, it had to be done in India sometime or the other
and it has been now done and delivered.
They say that the Euclid’s axiom of a straight line, is that
the shortest distance between two points is a straight line only if the two
points are in the same plane.
Therefore comparing with Hollywood efforts like Avtaar can
be removed from the equation since both the budgets that are available to
Hollywood films and the markets that are at their disposal are beyond compare. To put in perspective, the budgets and markets
available in India are constraints and serious dampeners.
I neither have the
capability nor the competence to comment on the technical aspects, however, I just
swayed, along with the dexterous camera movements which seemed to dance
magically in all the eight directions, sending your heart into little flutters

Alluring Images of fictional kingdoms in the distant past,

Rahman, does his bit. And of course, the editor, will always

For an early convert to being a Rajini fan, in late 1970
before he was recognized as a super star, after Billa, I have always been disappointed
that Rajini has been sub optimally used by the industry. As my father would
say, Rajini did not have to do anything, his mere presence would send me(us) into
raptures. Despite being a serious cinema viewer, the goose bumps of mine are strictly
reserved for Rajini and Rajini only.
Rajini, as all of us know is primarily risk averse. I do not
think Rajini has done anything differently or taken any risk in his entire
career.
For Rajini to have undertaken an endeavor like Kochadaiyaan,
I assume that Soundarya must get credit for..
This is one giant leap for Indian Cinema, Hats off to
Soundarya and team for a monumental effort.
