Rajini's acting in Mullum malarum is more of charismatic acting. Alexpandian's(Moondru mugam), motta-boss's, vettayan's acting is purely charismatic acting.

Rajini's acting in Thalapathy is more of talented acting.

In Dheivamagan, the younger sivaji(running hotel)'s acting is more of charismatic acting and the elder sivaji(marks in face)'s acting is more of talented acting.

and I would love to know what is your definition of charisma and talent, groucho ?

Note: charismatic acting means charisma+acting.... talented acting means talent+acting. Only acting means, i can point Vijayan of Udhiripookkal where neither charisma nor talent exists.

You got to reread my exchanges with Kid_Glove. It's there. I file charisma under talent/skill in most cases, with exception of those like MGR.

MGR for me is a pure 100% agmark CHARISMATIC ACTOR 8-)

azhagendra sollukku muruga 8-) charisma endra sollukku MGR 8-)

Grouch/Sarna/Plum,

Thats about the only scene of Maddy I have seen in that film. (random Sun TV clip I think). I did not even know which film was that from. He was showing a myriad of expressions in that scene and I was so amazed that I could not even follow the dialogues. Took me by shock in fact. I was not expecting such an effort for an ordinary film (rendu or something) I thought the critics would dismiss it as overacting :oops:

While I understand the spirit of the comment, I must say that Maddy is not remotely in the same class as the other 3 in the chosen mode of comparison.

Amen to that, kid!

IMO Rajni in thalapathi was more charismatic than any other movies
