After watching Pushpak, I feel it as a disgrace if I don't write an article on this Director. Whats the change one can expect in a movie among a plethora of love stories and action flicks ? I rate his ideas higher than that of ManiRatnam's, K.Viswanath's and Balachandar's.
Let me start with the masterpieces in his repertoire...
Pushpak : Ever imagined a dialogueless movie in moderntimes ? I was wondering before I watched this movies that how one understands without words. To my shock, the plot was an eye opener. It overcame the hesitation for which a director defines his constraints.
Bhairavadweepam : AFAIK,in his 75+ movies,Balakrishna had genuinely lessthan 5 good movies and in which two were directed by Singeetam. Bhairavadweepam is the story of a folk warrior who loves the princess and saves her from a sorcerer and faces a lot of magical challenges. This movie resembles a entertaining folk-tale.
Aditya 369 : May be its Speilberg who thought of predicting future in movies. But its Singeetam who takes us into Sri Krishna Devarayas age and a situation in 2050 where even cigarette smoking is punished, with the help of a time machine.
Michael Madan Kama Rajan : A story of four different Kamalhasans and the similar faces confuses the whole plot, a joy ride to watch.
Apoorva Sahodarangal: One can make a short guy tall. But to show a tall guy short without any effects, hmmmm.... only kamal and singeetam combo can implement it. And that too a dwarf killing the villians convincingly than Rajini neating the goons !!
Little John : A foreigner protagonist turns small as the size of caterpiller because of a Swamiji and the rollar coaster ride starts !!
Ghatotkaj : The animated mayabazar, at last he has become the starter to the trend of animation movies in south India !!!
These are just a sample of movies... even I'm feeling surprised to know his other films !
Hope his movies inspire directors to go beyond the constraints of imagination!
This director was the brother of grandfather of my Intermediate classmate !!
