Early to late 80s he was impressive. Thoroughly entertaining.

kAkki sattai is eminently watchable. Just before ingAri sarakku, he enters Y.Vijaya's 'bar' and doesn't know how much drink to order: "oru litre kudu"

SingAri sarakku and nAdha vinOdhangaL were in the same year. Nothing defines his career better than that.

SingAri is thoroughly enjoyable but Nadha VinodhangaL was watched because it was Kamal. i.e. he led us to watch it. Well atleast me. I am not into classical dance . But he did make Salangai Oli and the pieces in NN, Ek Duje...exciting to watch. That is, to me, what Kamal is all about.

To quote his own words
அன்னிக்கே சொன்னாங்கொ பெரியவங்க ஆழமா சொன்னாங்கோ
அத்தையே அண்ணாத்தே தண்ணி ஊத்தி லைட்டா சொன்னாரு

That's what he did when he settled down on the writing table. Our appreciation of films in general was raised by what he did when he settled down to write.

I don't think I can say that about any - that's right any - other writer in TFI.
