Happy Birthday Kamal Haasan,,, #)Avvai shanmugi/chachi 420 It is not just a copy of MRs.Doubtfire.It is a mix of both Mrs.doubt fire and Tootsie. Tootsie has dustin hoffman dressing as a woman. All the scenes with the landlord (manivannan) are total lift offs from tootsie. #)Raaja Paarvai This movie is a lift of from Butterflies Are Free (1972) ,The blind school scenes are based on sai parajpayes SPARSH and the climax scenes from Hoffmans The Graduate. #)Enakkul oruvan Reincarnation of Peter Proud(1975) #)Indiran chandiran Richard Dreyfuss Starrer Moon Over Parador #)Thenali Richard Dreyfuss & Bill Murray ‘s What About Bob #)Nayagan God Father #)Devar Magan you will be surprised. Kamal he himself told the inspiration for the movie was God Father. Now put shivaji as the Marlon brando, Al pacino as kamal, the barzinni and other mafias as Nazar. Gang wars into clan fights, you got the Devar magan. It is definitely a great adaptation; lot of credit goes to kamal. But still inspired, by his very own words. #)Kurudhi Punal Govind nihlanis Drooh kaal ,jumping before train sequences from money train #)Hey ram Hey ram is one of the best movies i have seen. Lot of credit goes to kamal on this movie, but like all his other movies there are some inspirations in this movie. Apart from the controversy on the story, there are scenes lifted from some movies. I was watching Barabbas starring anthony quinn. It is a biblical story. Barabbas is the criminal they set free so that Christ could be crucified. The whole movie is barabbas quest for the reason why he was spared and how he is haunted by jesus crucification. Ultimately He understands his mistake in the end. Similar story line as hey ram. If You are thinking this is just a coincidence. There is a scene where barabbas pondering something stumbles on a blind beggar, who with his haunting white blind eyes tries to touch barrabas face with his searching hands. A chilling scene. There is a same scene in hey ram where the blind muslim girl in the hut tries to reach kamal. Take a few chapters of Freedom at mid night and mix it with Barrabbas and Gandhi’s sandal story you have a rough version of hey ram. #)Vetri vizha Was based on the Robert Ludlum book Bourne Identity #)Vikram Lets not go into the james bond style story line of this movie.Check out the costumes, it will remind various movies from star wars to biblical movies. #)Virumandi The great thing about the movie is not the story line.But how the movie is narrated. Unfortunately a very old technique, used by kurusawa in the 50s.Actually kamal is not the first to be inspired by Kurusawas Roshmon, vennai balachanders has already taken Andha Naal on the same style.Jail interviewing part is from The Life of David Gale. #)panchathanthiram Very Bad Things (1998) #)Naala damayanthi Green card(1990, Andie MacDowell, Gerard Depardieu) #)Sathi leelavathi She-Devil (1989, Meryl Streep, Roseanne) #) Magalir mattum Nine to Five (1980, Jane fonda, Dolly Parton) #)Nammavar To Sir With Love (1967, Sidny Poitier) #)Anbe Sivam Planes, Trains & Automobiles #)Guna Rainman his journey Continues........
