The film was a box office disaster and paved way to a lot of controversies but the audience hardly realised that its purpose was to highlight the journey of a character named Saket Ram, who rejected the notion of securing rights through violence and allowed religious hatred to be taken over by love. Hey Ram: In this semi-fictional recounting of India's partition and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, Kamal as the film's writer-director and actor highlights religious extremism.As a happy-go-lucky village rogue, he delivered one of the finest performances in his career with this film, which is remembered for giving Tamil cinema one of the finest actors, Pasupathy. Virumaandi: Borrowing the narrative style of Japanese film Rashomon, Kamal addressed the abolition of death sentence from the Indian judicial system in Virumaandi.In this poignant tale of romance between a blind violinist and a young Christian girl, director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao extracted the best out of Kamal, who had also co-written the film. Raja Paarvai: I doubt if any actor would take the risk of playing a blind character in his 100th film but Kamal Haasan is an exception.The film remains underrated to date because many misunderstood its sarcastic undertones associated with atheism. The film revolves around two characters - a communist and a capitalist, who learn important lessons of life via road trip. Anbe Sivam: The actor takes an agnostic stance about atheism and communism in Anbe Sivam, which translates to "Love is God".The razor-sharp dialogues with surrealistic filmmaking style offer an experience no Tamil film, before or after, has managed to deliver.
Kamal plays a documentary filmmaker, through whose eyes the film presents the moving story of Sripriya, a man with a bitter past, who hates independent women. Aval Appadithan: Arguably one of the masterpieces of Tamil cinema, this film may have been a box office disaster but it was made much ahead of its time.Here is a list of few such films from the career of this universal hero.Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who turned 59 today, needs no special introduction, but some of his best performances have gone unnoticed in numerous underrated films.
