You guys were proud of NT's son, and I wanted that to happen for Kamal.
Grouch
:lol: at TR & Simbu.. As said, I was mainly pointing the irony that Kamal has no son. Atleast since you all agree that Prabu can be placed about Rajini and Kamal, we would have had an actor whom we can place him as one among the top league of actors. Totally agree that only the performance determines the fan base even for a Sivajison :)
Plum, with you on your posts
Exactly. Unless the offspring is as bad as say a santhanu or a sibiraj it is bound to happen. Take all NT fans from the hub, (no matter how much ever they try to deny it) one in fact had gone to the extent of creating a website for him. :PQuote:

I think this vArisu thingy works in both ways.
On the +ve side, it gives them easy entry, soft-corner from dad's fans etc. These all work good in the start-up phase.
OTOH, the possible unjust comparison with the colossal talent of dad hurts. While people will tolerate limitations in the start-up phase, unless the person has a good measure of talent / develops abilities etc, he could prove to be a disgrace.
'புலிக்குப்பிறந்தது பூனையாகுமா' என்ற பேர் கிடைக்கும் வாய்ப்பும் இருக்கிறது, 'வாத்தியார் பையன் முட்டாள்' என்ற வசையும் கிடைப்பது சாத்தியமே :-)
That way, Prabhu got pass marks:-)
Groucho clearly said that he liked prabhu even before he became a fan of NT.Quote:

Is Prabhu's acting in cinnath thambi is inspired from NT's role in engirunthO vanthaaL? :D
In my opinion, P. Vasu lifted it from Aruvadai Naal. Then, of course, that role had shades of NT in Padikkatha Methai among others. Note that I said "among others", scores of NT roles are inspiration to many roles later :D , bigest "culprit/benefactor" and one who didn't drop the ball was Rajini of course. He took them from NT and made them his own and made them rock! Eg - Mullum Malarum, 6 to 60, Netrikan, Mundru Mugam, Dharmadhurai among others, all lessons in how to be a good sishyan :thumbsup:Quote:

In a way 1986 proved to be the turning point in Prabhu's career. For someone who was accused of being in the shadow of his father, this man proved that he has got a repertoire of his own. He came out of the self imposed shackles and started out from scratch.
முற்றிலும் சரி. புதிய இயக்குனர்கள், பொருத்தமான கதாபாத்திரங்கள் என்று பிரபுவின் இந்த அவதாரத்க்கு நல்ல வரவேற்பு கிட்டத் துவங்கியது.
Welcome, Mahesh K. Hope to see more posts here, thanks for the above. :D
வருக வருக திரு மகேஷ் அவர்களே. நண்பர் சுவாமி உங்களைப் பற்றி சொல்லியிருக்கிறார். வெகு நாட்களாக silent reader-ஆக இருந்த நீங்கள் இப்போது திரியில் ஒரு பங்களிப்பவராக வந்திருப்பது மகிழ்ச்சி.
Rakesh,
Mahesh is what you were like. An ardent Prabhu Fan who also has a liking for NT.

Thannks Murali sir.
I am always a Sivaji fan since childhood days and will remain as one for ever. We ( myself and like minded friends ) equally love Prabhu . My affection for Prabhu started exactly on 22nd December 1982 , when my 8th std half yearly exam was over & my classmates wanted go for a movie. I proposed NT movie "Nenjagal", but my classmates preferred Athisaya piravikal ( Devar films movie ). I reluctantly went with them, but was very surprised to see the audience response for Prabhu's introductory scene - thunderous applause and whistle. At that point of time, such a response, that too on a Wednesday matinee show, would be there only for MGR & NT. Again after few days Kozhi koovuthu was released in a theatre very close to my house & the opening crowd throughout first week was extraordinary. This again surprised me a lot. So this surprise element coupled with Prabhu's on-screen mannerisms -which obviously would resemble NT many times - made me a Prabhu fan. During discussions with other friends ( i.e Kamal , Rajini fans) we were more comfortable in comparing Prabhu movies with the then emerging superstars , rather than dragging NT in to the discussion. This is how we were known to be more of Prabhu fans.
As you mentioned , I regularly read NT thread and enjoy the contributions of you, groucho070, joe, Pammalar, Ragavendran sir ,sarada madam and many others. I haven't contributed due to 'difficulty in typing Tamil' ( read laziness).
I request you to continue writing about Prabhu movies for the remaining years from where you have left. Thanks

Do we become fan of some one , because we are a fan of their father , mother , brother , sister ?? :roll: :roll: :oops:
Sorry this a ridiculous statement, Rajnikanth was on Par with MGR and Shivaji those days... then by miles away we had Prabhu, Karthik, VK and MohanQuote:

Mahesh,
Are you from Nagercoil ? If Yes, I can understand your claim on fan following for Prabhu ,as i know Prabhu had unbelievable fan base in Nagercoil ,defenitely people from other parts of TN can't imagine or beleive.
He was talking about the response and expectation during that period. Read his post carefully. He is not making a Karthik vs Prabhu argument here, which even I am guilty of sometimes.Quote:

Yes ..Note that Prabhu's 100th movie Rajakumaran completed 100 days only in Nagercoil ,not even chennai.Quote:

That is only because of large no of Prabhu fans there and their determination to make prabhu's 100th movie as a 100 days movie ..Athula periya avamaanam irukkuratha enakku theriyalla :)Quote:

In an interview with Mano (Manathodu Mano), it seems initially NT didn't want Prabhu in it, saying he may not be ready for heavy role. But Ganggai Amaran said, the role requires him to hang around and do nothing "velai vetti illama oora sutura character" , to which NT immediately agreed :lol:
Digression: After the success, and due to his own arrogance about the title having nothing to do with the film, GA did another film called Kokkarakoo...(paraphrasing and shortened version of the conversation with Mano)
GA: Padam release producerkitte dates-a talli poodasonnen, yeena makkalukku kaasu illa. Release pannunangga, so Padam oodala.

And when he goes to the extent of sacrificing the entire agriculture land in his village for a soft ware company in return for a huge kickback, things reach a flashpoint.
The protagonist one day suddenly reaslises that money is not everything and tries to turn a new leaf but that is resisted by his own kith and kin which comes as a shocker to him. It almost turns up the whole village against him. As if this is not enough a very serious crime allegation is hoisted on his head. How he wriggles out of the imbroligo he finds himself in forms thr rest of the story.
Not much to boast about, writer director B.Unnikrishnan had sort of a redone his earlier offering Maadambi which also had the same background mileu. For the viewer it is very apparent that the movie is taken forward more by dialogues than visual. The director had tried to highlight some socially relevant issues faced by rural Kerala today like that of agriculture lands being taken away in the name of progress but it is more of a cosmetic in nature.
The character doesn't demand anything extraordinary from Mammootty and he has a stroll in the park. Sneha as Panchayath Board Secretary looks slim and attractive in simple sarees. Lakshmi makes a comeback after a long time and her Rosy teacher is a significant one.
Prabhu - For me it was a disappointment as he turns up just in 4 scenes out of which 3 pass by as background. He has only one scene of dialogue and emoting and ofcourse he does it with elan. Probably the chance to share screen space with Mammootty must have lured him.
Time pass movie.
Regards
Thanks for the review, Murali-sar.
As for Prabhu, why am I not surprised that you are disappointed? :(
