Dear Kamal Hassan,

Dear Kamal Hassan ,

You would have read umpteen reviews for your latest movie Vishwaroopam, Iam not even sure that, you would eye ball this piece,but then I thought let me pen the train of thoughts which were ignited by the script.

It was nice to see a refreshing movie after a long time, well thought, well researched, well written and well adapted to the screen.The amount of time you would have spent researching on this script is really commendable and finer details of every prop and every character has been addressed.

The dialogues were deep and astounding;they created a long lasting impact. Especially the following one’s created crusts inside the audience

1)
Omar: Why is your name Kashmiri?
Kashmiri: Father left us , To save my mother i needed to add Kashmir...

Omar..o I understand...
Kashmiri.. No you wouldn’t have understood

A true Indian would understand the above dialogue well.

2)

Omar : why should we shed tears? ( "Muslims" shed tears)
Kashmiri: “We are Jihadis”( Replacing “Religion” to Jihadis) we are not meant to shed tears but to shed blood. .You have answered your question in your question itself, if there was a fight there would be some deaths too.

The above dialogue clearly explains the difference between the Jihadi mindset and true muslim.


3)
FBI officer 1: what is he doing? ( When visam prays)
FBI officer 2: He is praying for your good?
FBI officer 1: Like God almighty…
FBI officer 2: Yes , exactly but this is the Arabic version ….


The cinematography is exemplary, the BGM score is good but it may have been better and surely you will look in to this aspect in the forthcoming films. Kudos to the make-up and the costume team, they have done a tremendous job and for sure, they must have lived in the characters when they were thinking of the costumes.

Every actor has done justice to their roles. Nasser is again a shining example of seasoned actor and the acting talent in India. He is been a great ambassodor of Tamil cinema and he has bought his character alive literally. Omar Bhai and the rest of the militant characters were well thought and vividly portrayed on screen.

The sets/Locations were superlative and captivating.The script protrayed the reality to the world what exactly happens in a world overtaken by Jihadi Mindset and how young innocent Muslims are brain washed by the Jihadist and im sure the movie conveyed a soothing message that regardless of the Religion we are all Indians and we would strive it to make it better.

The talent you posses are superlative and I really hope your future projects are not stalled by petty mindsets and illogical reasoning by people who just want to stir a controversy just for the sake of it. There were no anti –religious views at all and even after encountering the impacts of Afsal Guru , Ajmal Kasab , Hafeez syed , we still look at our neighbouring Muslims as our friends and part of our families.Hopefully the people who created the stir and the controversy would understand thisand not negate your efforts on bringing another great work on celluloid.

Our answer to movies like Hurt Locker, Behind Enemy lines and saving Private Ryan. Surely, the next part would do even more justice to your talent and hopefully it will be billed as one of all time greatest movies.

The request is to you to research our well famed Tamil History and if possible bring out a Magnus opus from the Chola/Pandya/Pallava Period, we would be obliged and the world would know how advanced and fabled we were through you.
