Greatest and the most subtle (relatively) portrayal of a Bro-Sis relationship ever in Tamil cinema. Million thanks to thalaivar's favorite director ever, Mahendran. And Rajini's performance, each and every expression-unbelievable. And he was what, only 28 when the film released. What an achievement :bow:

Absoleetly.
Rajini's performance is beyond style, ticks and comfort zone. Well-rounded performance. Pachan sahib ellAm not fossible.

Note 1: A telugu remake with Mohanbabu(kALi)-Revathy(vaLLi) exists. Neither live up to the original performances of Rajini/Shobha

Note 2: A hindi remake with Mithunda-???? exists. Not even up to the telugu remake.

---

Note 3: Malayalam remake with an unknown entity as the keerO and Sri Vidya playing padaphat's character. Highly annoying. I have seen a few scenes.

Watched the rest of the scenes yesterday. VAM has given a knock-out performance as well. Wonderfully acted by everyone. Whats the name of that payapulla, who is also seen in UdhirippookkaL? The scene in which Rajini slowly loses the grip on VAM's shirt (also aided by VAM) just before the climax caught my attention yesterday. Simply outstanding.

Also in the climax after Valli returns to Kaali, Kaali makes the decision in a matter of few seconds. It was subtly yet beautifully shown by Mahendran and wonderfully acted by Rajini. I thought I would post the YouTube video and highlight those 2-3 seconds but the climax has been removed from YouTube. High time I upload it along with a few more scenes.

And Raamen aandaalum is the "Definitive Rajini song". period.

"முள்ளும் மலரும்'', பல பரிசுகளை வென்றது. "காலத்தால் அழிக்க முடியாத காவியம்'' என்று ரசிகர்களாலும், விமர்சகர்களாலும் போற்றப்படும் படங்களில் ஒன்று "முள்ளும் மலரும்.''

watching Maaveeran after so many years..

Vanagad vanga .. :smokesmirk: one of the best opening songs

Yei Maina :musicsmile: Thalaivar's dance at his best.He is so ease at this.

Nee koduthatha and nan koduthatha .. wow what a songs

Best portion about Raamen aandaalum is
third stanza...
"Ponnaa poopoothu vairam kaaikaachu".
When the song reaches "Kai irukku ozaichu kaaturen" Rajini's fervor reaches crazy energy levels, he throws the stick away and then does a step (about 3-15 to 3-25 in the song) that is absolutely cool, defines the character and sticks to the beat - everything is picture perfect..
Directors/screenwriters have very less contribution in song sequences. considering that , it is wonderful to think how Lyricist wrote this song and choreographer designed that particular movement and offcourse Raaja conjured up the right energy in beats all set up for Rajini to scorch the screen.
As I said earlier - Picture PERFECT.
There has been no better Rajini song since this.
I say this not from a star projection angle, but just considering the energy level Rajini has shown in this song while being uber cool.

"Kai irukku". Never noticed before, the irony in the lyric, considering what happens to kALi right after this song.

Panakkaran, thanks to Sun TV. Watching it after more than 5 years.There are many embarrassing scenes like the scene in which thalaivar pours kerosene over himself. But there are many awesome scenes too like the scene in which thalaivar talks in English non-stop for close to two minutes. Uses words like flabbergast. :clap:

Nooru varusham, what an awesome song. One of my favorite Mano songs. In fact all the songs are very enjoyable and huge hits.

So w.r.to P.Vasu Mannan >> Uzhaippali >> Panakkaran >>> Chandramukhi.

And back to back appan-aathaa-pEr-theriyaamal-climax-il-theriya-varum films for thalaivar

Panakkaran - 1990
Thalapathy - 1991

:shock:

Panakkaran, is one my favorite "masala" movies of Thalaiver! When it comes to P. Vasu, it is my favorite too! I have seen all of P. Vasu - Rajini movies in the theatres, but I don't think I have seen the response that Panakkaran got for the others, not even Mannan! My list will go like this: Panakkaran, Mannan, CM, and Uzhaipaali (I just hated Uzhaipaali)... :oops:
