Kamal Haasan: A Cinematic Journey by K. HariharanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hooter: Unraveling Kamal through his movies
The author through stories and anecdotes around the movies along with the portrayal in the movies and paints a picture of Kamal Haasan's journey in the real and reel life. He also provides the context to political undercurrents being portrayed in the movies keeping in mind the current affairs of the time. Whilst he points most of it as speculation to prevent any controversies erupting from the book, it provides a unique insight which Kamal - who is known to be extremely bold, risk taking and innovative film maker who has always pushed the limits of creativity and impact in the various roles he has played could have been appealing to his intelligentsia and elite audiences whilst being loved by the masses.
