Was having an interesting discussion with a friend over lunch. He claims that the 100th film of any film artiste is jinxed and is bound to fail. He gave several examples and when I countered by saying Sivakumar, he said that the exception proved the rule. :D

Anyway, let's use this as an excuse to compile a list of TF artistes 100th films. Please correct any of my errors and also add on to my list.

MGR - Oli Vilakku
Sivaji - Navarathri
Rajini Kanth - Sri Ragavendra
Kamalahassan - Raja Parvai
K. Balachander - Parthale Paravasam
Ilayaraja - Moodu Pani
Sivakumar - Rosappoo Ravikkaikaari
KR Vijaya - Nathayil Muthu
Savithri - Konjum Salangai
Jayachitra - Nayakarin Magal
Satyaraj - Vathiyar Veetu Pillai
Prabhu - Rajakumaran
Sarathkumar - Thalai Magan
Vijayakanth - Captain Prabhakaran
Ramanarayanan - Thirupathi Ezhumazhai Vengedesa
Saroja Devi - Pen Endral Pen
Roja - Pottu Amman
Arjun -Mannavaru Chinnavaru

Even I had that doubt, in any case, it still holds a speical place for its uniqueness, and way out of the league (the 'then' tamil cinema was in)!

Ramanarayanan's 100th movie was Thirupathi Ezhumazhai Vengedesa..
I guess it broke the jinx, as it propelled him to make another dud called Kantha Kadamba Kathirvela

Dear Joe/NOV,

Navarathiri was a 100 day movie and as Joe pointed out, it ran on it's own. But in how many centres, I am not sure. Compared to this the 200th movie Tirusoolam was a block buster which celebrated 100 days in 16 centres/18 theatres and 175 days in 6 centres which was a record that stood for a very long time. One more thing is that was the first movie which completed 175 days in all major cities of TN like Chennai, Madurai, Tiruchy, Coimbatore and Salem.

NOV,

Even Olivilakku was a 100 day movie but only in Madurai, if I remember correctly.

Joe,

Rajakumaran was made to run -a? I think you are mistaken. When the movie came out the reports were negative. But after some time the movie picked up like anything and ran so well. Normally the distributors who have bought the movie would sell it off if the reports are not good so that they can atleast salvage some money.(I am talking about the Madurai scenario). Here it so happened that the person who got it from the first one hit a jackpot like thing and reaped a rich profit. He was helped very much by IR's music and if you remember it was in 1994 and Sun TV which was just 9-10 months old was aggressively telecasting songs and scenes and that helped the film a lot. If I remember correctly Rajakumaran ran in Chakravarthy/Mini Chakravarthy, correct?

NOV,

Jai Shankar's 100th movie was Idhyam Paarkirathu and of course it fits into your logic perfectly. Karthik's 100th film was Kaathirukka Neramillai and again ditto.

Thiru,

Yodha was a Malayalam movie (Mohanlal & Madhubala -1992) and it was the second film of ARR after Roja. It still remains the only Malayalam movie done by ARR in spite of the fact that his father R.D.Sekar was out and out a Malayalam MD.

நவராத்திரி - 100 நாட்களுக்கு மேல் ஓடிய இடங்கள்.....

சென்னை - மிட்லண்ட் (இப்போதைய ஜெயப்ரதா தியேட்டர்), மகாராணி
(இரண்டு தியேட்டர்களிலும் நூறாவது நாள் ஷீல்டை இப்போதும் பார்க்கலாம்)
திருச்சி - ராக்ஸி
கோவை - ராயல்
மதுரை - சென்ட்ரல்
சேலம் - ஜெயா

'ஒளிவிளக்கு' மதுரையில் நூறு நாட்களைக் கடந்து ஓடியது.

'கேப்டன் பிரபாகரன்' நிச்சயம் நூறு நாட்களைக்கடந்த வெற்றிப்படம் தான். சில இடங்களில் சின்னத்தம்பிக்கு நிகராக வசூலைக்குவித்தது.

'ரோசாப்பூ ரவிக்கைக்காரி' சென்னை ஸ்டார் தியேட்டரில் மட்டும் சரியாக நூறு நாட்கள் ஓடியதாக நினைவு.

'ராக்வேந்திரர்', 'ராஜபார்வை', 'மூடுபனி' ஆகியவை தோல்விப்படங்களே.

முத்துராமனின் நூறாவது படம் 'புன்னகை' (கே.பாலசந்தர்)

ஜெமினி கணேசனின் நூறாவது படம் 'சீதா'. இது சாவித்திரியின் 150 வது படமும் கூட.

ஜெயலலிதாவின் நூறாவது படம் 'திருமாங்கல்ய'மும், கே.ஆர்.விஜயாவின் நூறாவது படம் 'நத்தையில் முத்து'வும் கிட்டத்தட்ட ஒரே நேரத்தில் வெளியாயின. இரண்டும் தோல்வியடைந்தன.

ஜெய்சங்கரின் நூறாவது படம் 'இதயம் பார்க்கிறது' தோல்வியடைந்தது. ரவிச்சந்திரன் நூறாவது படத்தை தொடவில்லை.

இதுவரை 99 படங்களில் நடித்து முடித்து விட்ட முரளி, தன் 100வது படத்தை ரிலீஸ் பண்ணவும் கம்பெனி பிடித்து விட்டார். "காரணம்' என்ற பெயரில் வேகமாக வளர்ந்து வருகிறது இப்படம். படத்துக்கு படம் காதலுக்காக உயிரைக் கொடுத்து வந்த முரளி, இந்த படத்தில் காதலை உதறித் தள்ளும் மாறுபட்ட வேடத்தில் நடித்து வருகிறார். அதனால் தான், படத்தின் பெயர், காரணம்!
