Rated 02 May 2009

My first Bollywood film (actually Kollywood, but why split hairs). I know all about how Kamal Hassan is a legend in India and actually has his own human services organization to help the poor, etc., etc., etc., but this movie feels like a junior high school pageant. Clearly, the makers of this movie want it to be _The Godfather_ really friggin' bad (Hassan even stuffs cotton in his mouth Brando-style at one point) but this isn't it. The obligatory musical numbers make it even more silly

Gritty movie based on the real-life Mumbai underworld don, Varadaraja Mudaliar, expertly brought to the celluloid by Kamal Hassan, and which netted him a National Award for Best Actor.
