The Enigmatic Mr. Kamal Haasan:

I was eager to catch up with Thoongavanam. I therefore decided catch up with Sleepless Nights. Was curious to understand how Kamal would have adapted Sleepless Nights. I was just fresh from the memory of Papansam where by just incorporating one sequence from Pasamalar, he had tweaked and tuned George Kutty’s character in Drishyam, to the sensibilities of Tamil Film Cinema audience.

Alas!! Sleepless Nights while on the surface, racy and restless as it unfolded, was a rehash of innumerable tales that had been narrated in the past. Wondered why in the world would Kamal want to remake this mediocrity.

Given Kamal’s talent, accomplishment, love and unquestionable commitment to Cinema, I do get befuddled with choices that Kamal makes

He may be one of the few sons of Cinema who has been dear to all the muses.

Can we find anybody in the world cinema who at 58 can learn Kathak and execute it to perfection?

This kind of commitment is what earns him the recognition that he truly deserves.

Has Kamal really leveraged and realized his true potential?

Getting inspired and influenced by great artists and great works of art is but natural.

But has he spent his entire life celebrating the lives of other geniuses?

In the last eleven years, Kamal has done nearly ten films, out of which four of them have been remakes and only Uthama Villain, was out of the ordinary thinking. An experiment that could have had gone awry, but these are experiments that could trigger greater artistic pursuits.

In the must-watch ‘The Walk’, the protagonist, terms his, desire to wire walk across the twin towers, as the artistic coup of the century.

Kamal, Given the fact you have  undoubtedly all round world-class capabilities in all departments, This fan of yours, demands the supremely original artistic coup of cinema from you, 

And it shall be eternally and immortally enshrined in the annals of cinema!!!!
