Lakshmi 3 is right.
5. Uma is the right answer for vA intha pakkam. Clue for the 2nd part: she debuted with the guy in Q.1.
Ramki,
1,2,4 and 7 are right. Ever since that movie YGM has specialized in playing himself: that of an 'arai kiRukku' ;)
6 is Bhakta Dhruva MArkandeya.. a film full of only child artists and directed by Dr. Bhanumati Ramakrishna.
9. You are right about Raja Mariyathai. But the 2nd film of Karthik is ILanjOdigaL *ing Radha, Suresh and Vijay Shanti.
Ramki: 6
Lakshmi: 2.5

Do you need more clues for the remaining answers?
Ramki (@ ws35*) on: Thu Apr 19 08:14:27
Neels i think 'iLanjodigal' was Karthiks third or 4th movie. AlaigaL oyvadhillai and anjaadha nenjangaL was released in 1981, iLanjodigaL was released in 1982
(you can refer to tamilcinema.com)

Ramki, thanks for pointing out. I recall reading Karthik's interview where he mentioned that he started working on ILanjodigaL soon after his debut film. Probably it got released later.
Any guesses on the remaining questions?
Vijayakanth (Vijayaraj)'s film had him playing a small role.
10. ?
11. Clue: it's to do with his lady co-stars

8-is it agal viLakku?or dhoorathu idi muzhakkam?
11)muLLum malarum-shobha
dharma yudham-lakshmisree
moondru mugam-silk smitha
all these 3 actresses commited suicide

Ramki,
You are Right on Dot on Q.11.
In fact add to this list, the talented 'Fatafat' Jayalakshmi, who played Rajni's lady love and Shobha's aNNi in 'MuLLum Malarum' also committed suicide.
What a quirky coincidence?
8. Vijayakanth's first film was 'Inikkum ILamai', directed by M. A. Kaja. It was a small role that he did before getting a lead-role on Dhoorathu Idimuzhakkam.
The answer for 10 is: 'nAn petra selvam'. Shivaji played the role of Nakkeeran in this film.
