Thevar Magan

Thevar Magan is Kamal's best movie. He shows an amazing transformation from a motivated NRI entrepreneur to the head of a village's feudal family, reminiscent of Al Pacino's performance in the Godfather series, but a lot different.

This one movie cannot be compared to any Indian films.

Kamal should definitely win an Oscar.
