Sheer brilliance...

Mohana goes to Thiruvarur to meet Jillu, knowing that Shanmugam is staying with her. She watches Jillu's " koothu " and even Shanmugam is present there. They exchange hating glances at each other. Then during the koothu's interval she meets Jillu and comes to know the truth and at the same time understands the true love of Jillu.

Now that she is determined to prevent Shanmugam from going to Malaya, she deliberately teases him in front of the audience and throws an open challenge.

Ippo gavanikkanum, thalaivara.....summa kodhichu poiduvaru. Being a short tempered man, Shanmugam readily accepts the challenge. He will be in extreme anger that he will not be able to say the words completely...padhi padhi solluvaru.....like....

yei, irudi, irud (i)....unna vandhu pesikk....yenkitta, yenkit....paakalam..paaka....

He vigorously hits the screen that covers the entrance and leaves. Withing a few seconds, comes back again and warns Mohana.

It's almost more than a decade since i watched the film in theatre and that was a re-re-re-re-re-release. Even at that time itself, the audience response for this scene was amazing. The entire theatre was in uproar and there was deafening whistles and applause. I'm 100% sure that even if the movie is released now or even much later it will get the same kind of response !!!



:notworthy: :clap: :thumbsup:

A'noon came home for lunch. Jaya max was playing, " Andha naal nyabagam nenjile vandadhe, nanbane......."

I know this has been beaten to death here, but still... :D

A neat light coloured striped shirt whose sleeves are carefully rolled up and goes above the elbow. It is perfectly tucked inside a dark coloured pant. A nice belt, shining leather shoes and a simple walking stick. A decent looking grey side burns - and what a magic this man does !!! :cool2:

And when the lyrics goes, " periyavan, siriyavan, nallavan, kettavan - ullavan, ponavan ulagiley parkirom...... ennamey sumaigalai, idhayamey bhaaramai...."

Verum rendu kayya vechikitte pinniyiruppar !!! :notworthy:

parka parka salikkadha oru paatu.


With all those great looks & style, this man has got complete right to deny the saying, " Born with a silver spoon "

Rangan_08 :clap:

NT's contributions live on..... even during this IT age. A small sample (just for laughs):

வானம் பொழிகிறது; பூமி விளைகிறது; உனக்கு ஏன் அனுப்ப வேண்டும் எஸ்.எம்.எஸ். என்னோடு கடைக்கு வந்தாயா? செல் வாங்கித் தந்தாயா? ஓசி சிம்கார்டு கொடுத்தாயா? பில் பணமாவது கட்டினாயா? அல்லது உன்னோடு கொஞ்சி விளையாடும் உன் அழகான கேர்ள் பிரண்ட்சுக்கு என் நம்பரையாவது கொடுத்தாயா!! மானங்கெட்டவனே! யாரிடம் கே...ட்கிறாய் எஸ்.எம்.எஸ். எடு உன் செல்லை; போடு அதைக் கீழே; எடு ஒரு கல்லை; கல்லைப் போட்டு நொறுக்கு உன் செல்லை!

:rotfl:

:thumbsup: @ rangan_08 Re. TM challenge scene.

Beyond the fiasco over the NT’s the so called over acting and BO hero and in some ways the cause, lies an unpleasant truth. The result is that every contention issue ends up in a cacophony instead of a sober debate. The NT fiasco is only the latest example.
First, here are some facts. It is incorrect to say that NT acting was over and he was not a BO hero.
All we have are photos and some articles and studies. (THIS IS ALREADY DONE BY THE GREAT MR.MURALI, MR.PAMMALAR, MR. RAGHAVENDRA, AND MANY OTHERS). According to others(fans), these are inconclusive and subject to varying interpretations. Without thorough research one cannot say that no such existed simply because there are no physical evidence remains since he was lived before IT age. If IT age exist in 60s and 70s itself, who knows we might have strong enough evidence.
It is necessary to correlate data from the wide range of sources including material evidence such as old books, advt., and from other sources.
No comparable research has been done. We are unlikely to find evidence for proving the historicity of NT unless we do the research. This being the case, to argue , because we have no evidence is dogmatic and unscientific. We won’t find any evidence unless we look for it. But we have ample reasons to believe that such evidence can be bound once we are prepared to do the research.
Proved beyond all doubt both the Natural and Over acting and BO (since he has not got any national award), but the same people who are now claiming that NT lacks Natural acting and BO, refused to acknowledge these facts even when proved. Can you convenience such people with any amount of evidence ?
To understand the motives behind the attack on NT and his acting and BO, we need to recognize that NT is more than Personality. He is a symbol of VALUES that all Tamilians, Non Tamilians and TF Industry hold dear. He is a symbol of UNITY. The NT MYTH is not just a personality cult of the founder. TF Industry can exist without NT for he is not its founder. But NT represents the highest values of the Tamilian civilization. HE IS ADARSHA PURUSHOTTAMA.
In attacking NT and everything associated with him the unity and greatness of Tamilians can be destroyed.
We may have gained some time with protests and debates, but it would be a serious error to assume that destruction forces have been fully uprooted. Bad ideas have a way of resurfacing especially when SELF INTEREST is at stake.
So let us understand what really is not stake, it is not whether NT acting was over nor even we can prove he was not a BO hero, but something is far more important - NT is a symbol of the VALUES that we hold sacred. What this campaign represents is on attack on NT as a value more than personality, as a step towards destroying the values and humanity that he stands for.
