Nayakan

Sarkar, the new Ramgopal Verma movie based on Godfather was pretty decent. I did not get bored watching it and Amitabh and Abhishek, both have very impressive screen presence. But my favorite movie of this genre is undoubtedly Nayakan. I have so many favorite scenes from this movie -- Kamal's first meeting with Saranya, the children imitating velu nayakan, Nizhal Ravi's funeral, Karthika's confrontation with Kamal, Kamal meeting Karthika when he goes to meet Nasser....and many many more....The songs and BGM are simply excellent. Coming back to Sarkar, there is this track, "Govinda Govinda" which is begging to be remixed...Will someone please do it?

The only problem with Nayagan is Kamal Hassan. He's alright but he can't help but overact in certain scenes. Especially that famous Laughing-Crying thing he does.. was disgusting.

Oh come on, his son just died...While I do agree it may be a teeny bit of overacting, he was excellent in the rest of the movie. So I am willing to overlook that .
