Legends in their 60s

[madhus369]

This one is on a lighter note...

When commoners get close to their 60s, they take stock of their family, career, finance, look-ahead options etc. Our actors, and some of their adoring fans, instead hold on to the past. Nothing wrong with that.. just interesting, that's all...

Here is a quick snapshot of how some of the legends did in their 60th year!

Sivaji at 60:
En Thamizh En Makkal - NHO
Puthiya Vaanam - Flop

MGR at 60:
Indru Pol Endrum Vaazhga - Hit
Navarathinam - Average
Meenava Nanban - Blockbuster (political)

Rajini at 60:
Enthiran - Blockbuster

KH at 60:
Uttama Villain - Flop
Papanasam - Hit
Thoongavanam - Flop


Thoughts? And, if we extend this to how the current actors would do in their 60s, that would be fun too....

[madhus369]

Tough to do this for actresses, since their age-claims are more outrageous lies than the men.

[Saai]

break even?!! the film only released today you @#$@#$

[madhus369]

I agree... that's why the question mark... could also end up as a flop. is your keyboard stuck?

And I dont respond to moronic idiots like Saai.

[Saai]

is your keyboard stuck?

yes, somewhere in your .. lol

[madhus369]

Missed out one actress who probably had no reason to hide her age...

Manorama
- Saamy - hit
- Diwaan - ?
- Whistle - ?
- Anbe Anbe - ?

And... the thespians...
Nagesh
- Madam - NHO
- Kattabomman - NHO

M N Nambiar
- None in Tamil (all Malayalam)

And, a malayalam yesteryear actor, who has legend status over there...

Madhoo
- Thalamura - flop

[madhus369]

Most of this info is from wiki/other sites... so, could be 1-2 years off either side... But to me, it is interesting to see how success follows or fails actors at this age.

[madhus369]

Have been away for a while.. Forum is as calm as ever. What happened? Mass evacuations from the battlefields? Brexit? :-) Tamexit?

[madhus369]

Looks like the old Hub is back... Yay !!

[Bipolar]

Yes, "Hub" is back, but still very quiet these days...
