Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan

Sometime back I saw a song from karnan.........

"manjaL mugam niram maari
mangai udal uru maari"

in the song, shivaji as karna, peeps in from the balcony to see the fest.

The look in his face
a mingling of

aggressive pride, greatness for his friend,
feasting the beauty of his wife,
calculating with his shrude eyes every detail
of the occasion......,
minute emotion and sentiment, which would
be well hidden by his smile.

all in a matter of 3 seconds.

VizhigaL pesa koodiya orEEEEEEE nadigar

engaL shivaji.

shivaji devotee,
sp.

Dear Prabha

That one was fantastic scene. I bet no one in the universe will be able to show SUCH EXPRESSION . Even today I feel very bad that KARNAN failed against VETTAIKARAN. What kind of people.

ramesh

hi Uma/Ramesh,

Thanks for replying.

Actually lets think this way.

This 'vettaikaran' movie is unheard by many belonging
to younger gen. I dont think the movie was a hit at all.
It must have run in couple of theatres and there it ended.
Nobody praises about the movie, or talks about
mgr's performance in the movie, till today.

Whereas KARNAN might not have been a b.o hit, but
it brought fame for shivaji. Even today it makes us
talk about this movie, and shivaji's performance in the movie.

Victory sometimes flashes like a lightening and vanishes quickly

Sometimes victory...... is like an eternal fame, which is spoken about for eras. :)

Shivaji has won as karna.
I am sure many of us would think of only shivaji
when we wanna picturise karna as mythological char.

:)

regards,
Prabha.

Dear Prabha

Thanks. :clap:

Dear Prabha,

A superb scene aptly described by you and seconded by Ramesh. When there is that closeup shot on the screen, the varigal will be

Karnan Petra Pillai Endral Karmegam Allava
Ethirkalathil Indha Deshathil Avan Karunai Seyvan Allava

Great lyrics.

Ramesh,

What you have told about Karnan- Vettaikaran dual is not correct. Karnan was a 100 day movie in many major centres and in fact as I have already mentioned, it ran for 100 days in our Madurai-Thangam theatre, the biggest in Asia and remember that less than 10 movies have run 100 days in that theatre in it's entire history of 42 years of existence and again NT's contribution is 3 films out of that less than 10.

Regards

the general impression is Karnan was not that successful commercially. Is it true ?l

That impression is because Karnan was a very high budget movie .Though it ran 100 days in many centres ,it was not a good profit for the producer as expected.

Murali

Thanks for the clarification. We have so many scenes like this in this movie.

I think in between lyrics will be MALARGAL CHOOTI THILAGAM THETTI .superb song.

I guessed it . Mukaa and NT have been thick friends ( despite political diffrences ) for long. I wish they do a proper planning and put all the best pictures right from his first movie to last
besides, the makeup things that he used, the dresses he wore
