Kamal Haasan and Farheen in Kalaignan (1993)

User reviews

Kalaignan

3 reviews
7/10

Watchable once for its crime , presentation and action

Nice movie but did not do well in Box office although it was a moderate Hit. Kamal hasan comes with a commercial avatar of dancing with heroines and glamorous duets. Very nice thriller and involves a murder mystery. Typical Illayaraja's western music and endhan nenjil, dil bar jaane songs will be superb. For 90's the movie had lot of new aspects like pop singing and drugs. Movie has typical Kamal hasan's style dance moves and 4 fight scenes especially the longest fight in climax. Overall watchable once for its crime aspect and presentation.

Kalaignan

Good Movie. Everybody acted good in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were not good. The movie was so interesting and thrilling at 1st half. The movie lagged and bored a lot at 2nd half. The movie was not worst. Good Movie.

Groundbreaking suspense thriller for its time

Kalaignan (Tamil:கலைஞன்; English: Artist) is a 1993 Tamil- language thriller film directed by G. B. Vijay and produced by Ramkumar Ganesan.

The film features Kamal Haasan and Bindiya in the lead roles while Sivaranjani, Sindhuja, Nirmalamma and Chi. Guru Dutt play supporting roles. The film opened in April 1993. The story follows the ordeal of a pop artiste who experience a a serial killer who seems to have a personal agenda against him

Well worth a watch and unseen for its time. The story plot and suspense will keep one at the edge of the seat. Kamalhassan at was at his peak when this movie was released.

The music by Vidyasagar was great and scintillating and so was the cinematography. The movie's main highlight was that it follows the western trends and fads of the early 90s and fusing theme so well a thriller story that is unprecedented in a south movie at that time

well worth the effort
