When people used to say that actually some award was honoured because it was given to some person, I used to think of it as flowery, shallow praise. Now, I realise that such comments could have been genuine. The award in question here is the recently announced Tamil Nadu State Awards. Kamal has been declared as Best Actor (for Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu), with a bunch of others. To make it more meaningless, awards were announced for 2 years and not just one.

Now, here’s another forgettable award to add to the collection, this time from the “Film Fans Association”. What else do we do, but ignore such news and recollect the really significant ones that Kamal has amassed?
