Guys, I was just looking to post this news somewhere. Noticed that we have a thread for Sivaji already. So thought why not have one for MGR....After all, he's one of the biggest icons in Tamil cinema right....

MGR - The unending oxygen supply for AIADMK
October 20, 2005
Behindwoods.com
Jayalalitha, the Tamilnadu chief minister and AIADMK general secretary, showed her creative side when she wrote a poem on Chandran. The party celebrated its 33rd year and the party supremo penned her thoughts to mark the important day. Her poem says, the moon of the universe might fade from the evening sky but the Chandran on earth would never fade.
Obviously she is referring to the founder of the party, MG Ramachandran. The party has gained a lot of footage from the association of the former chief minister. Jayalalitha was only reinforcing the fact that MGR was the lifeline of the party even after his demise. Remotest corners of Tamilnadu still continue to spell magic when the name is taken aloud. MGR, is not a man, he is a legend. Some people go to the extent of saying that the legendary actor-politician is still alive somewhere.
:clap:
good thread indeed

I really appreciate ur effort, bayarea, though I am not his fan.
You deserve :clap:
Stranger, you've crossed 1000 posts man....Congratulations !!!
Keep them coming.... :thumbsup:

My favourites - MGR, Kamal and Ajith - the trio have something in common.
They have a strong personality and never bent their principles for others.
:thumbsup:
To be fair i dont find anything special about MGR...Anyways No comments!

MGR the 3 letter magic ; the draling of the massess; A man who "invented" the concept of "HEROISM" in Tamil cinema and perhaps to be later followed by all actors! :clap:
MakkaL Thilagam was one man whose charisma and on screen-adulation was unrivalled and unparalleled till date in Tamil cinema! :thumbsup:
One man whom the other Tamil actors can only "wish" to emulate!
Even today in remote TN villages folks vote for "Irettai illai" thinking MGR in mind and some folks deny the fact that he is dead! :shock:
Ms. Chennai, That was awesome...thank you !!!

Anna brought the "Sathu Unnavu thittam" and when Karunanithi came to power, he took it away!! But when Puratchi thalaivar MGR came, he brought it back. After he died, Karunanithi came back, and again took it away!! :evil:
After MGR, Jayalalitha is probably the greatest ruler TN ever had.
During 1991-6, TN economy skyrocketed into the top five league.
But 1996-2001 was a period of recession and scandals under ailing Karunanidhi.
Again, 2001-6 has seen a hi-tech boom under Jayalalitha's leadership.
The election next year will make or break several careers - Vijaykanth, Stalin,...
....:lol: here's something new!! JJ is the best after MGR??? WOW!!! :rotfl:
2 words: Brain Damage. :twisted:

Rachel Akka, Looks like even we might get together in this thread pretty well.... :lol: :lol:Quote:

Like Bay said,
MGR is the never ending oxygen source for AIADMK. 8-)
:clap: :thumbsup: agree on this, this is what puts them apart from other imbeciles

MGR - greatest personality ever in indian screen.
Really? Huh....that kinda funny. MGR... the most sucesssful politician with a Cinema Background in India. When MGR was active, KK was lost! :lol:Quote:

Btwn: surya, I'm surprised. you didn't say that he can't act or whatever.
let's hail the king
"Atcham enbadhu madamaiyada" is evergreen.
How many of you are aware that DMK ignored MGR in the Fifties in favour of Sivaji?
MGR made his debut in 1936 while Sivaji made his debut in 1952 but quickly stole his thunder with sharp dialogue delivery.
In the Sixties, DMK shifted to MGR. This was a turning point in TN history.
:P
But MGR was in DMK for a while before he went off to create ADMK.
Shivaji was never very good @ politics, he's agreed that himself.
MGR separated from DMK in the Seventies.Quote:

Pick a MGR film each from the Thirties, Forties, Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. The plot will revolve around a social moral and message that's constant.
Some may find it boring. But I found it amazing. It proves that MGR never changed his core values from 1936 to 1977 to 1988. That's the real MGR.
Although Shivaji was better @ acting than MGR was, he didn't have MGR's Charisma. Which is a factor in his political failure.
me not much noesis regards to MGR's politics BUT...his films i guess i must have seen all of them
they give hopes made me feel this world better place especially india..
his fastidious attitude in film industry , his songs
B&W movies refined .
i have seen my friends mocking his voice (after shooting hapnd)..
but he speeks very good tamil see 'kaanji thalaivan' .astonishing looks , verbal aptitude
kann pOna pOkile kaal pogalaamaa...hollywood visage ..
contrary as in character ... in 'thaali bhaagyam'...real country looks
MGR his own successor
thanks
Can sumone tell me which movie is this song "kann pOna pOkile kaal pogalaamaa" i like this song very much :D
I think it's Kaanji Thalaivan. I might be wrong. quite sure though.
