Mr.Thirumaran,
Do you agree with this?

No doubt for me that NT is a great actor. :)

My vote is Saroja Devi, here is why.

75% of the movies with JJ was taming of the shrew kind of roles. Particularly in MGR films she seemed to be performing a limited role which I found very repetitive.Her signature expression was the angry deep breathing which she seemed to be doing every time. The only exception I can think of is Kannan En Kadhalan (where MGR's performance is terrific and it is tough to notice JJ even in though her character is highly noticeable). I felt JJ's talents were better used in Sivaji films like 'EngirundhO vandhAL' and Sumathi en sundari. Perhaps I am missing some good JJ performances in MGR films.

OTOH I like Saroja Devi a lot more. MGR-Saroja Devi made a great onscreen pair. She was extremely enjoyable in romantic roles, melodrama and of even comedy. I can never be tired of the AnbE Vaa scene where MGR pretends to be ill : neenga paadaadheenga enakku bayamma irukku :lol:

Of course I put JJ second well above people like Latha, V.A. Nirmala who were , to use a generous expression, pretty ordinary.

Let us not involve other comparision :oops: We had already had similiar comparisions in the past in the same thread.

When we take only tamil speaking persons, the popularity of MGR cannot be matched by anyone.

If you consider Overall Indian and NRI's then Rajini will be definetly more popular than MGR. If we consider Overall then in my opinion Kamal will be more popular than any other South Indians.

If any disagreement please leave this here. Just my opinion. :)

It depends on how FANS see a particular person and how people see a particular man !

KATHAM... KATHAM :D

I did not say that :roll:

By the way right now i am not interested in any arguments and comparisions. :wink:

Guys, I NEED to make a humble request here !!

Let's just focus on MGR and anything associated with HIS movies only !!

Let's NOT bring in any OTHER actor into this thread, and start a comparison all over again ... The last few days have been kind of rough between Sivaji/MGR fans (as funny as it sounds at this day and age), very very unfortunate !!

And now if we bring in Rajini, the thread will go HAYWIRE !!

So no matter how great Sivaji or Rajini or anybody can be, let it all be OUTSIDE THIS THREAD !!!

Thanks for the understanding ...

Nakeeran, Thirumaran, tfmlover, Imsai, Selva, etc - Keep continuing with your awesome posts on MGR folks !!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
