DANKS, nerd :)

Saw a few scenes in 1st half of "Anbukku Nan Adimai". I have seen this film long time ago & I was thinking it as a 80's action masala. But to my surprise, the comedy scenes involving Rajini, Thengai Srinivasan, Usilaimani & another actor (police station scenes) were nicely done.

Rajini & his presence in those scenes :clap: :clap: Even Surulirajan was good / tolerable. Thengai replying to Rajini in a couple of words... "yes sir.. ok sir.. no sir.. " its none other than Vivek reused it in Anniyan. When I see Surulirajan, he had few styles of Gounder (I know that Suruli is senior).. but Gounder made it more enjoyable (IMV)

I think Rajini's early 80's comedies which comes in action films are highly under rated.. but people remembers something like Annamalai snake scene, Pandian cooking scene, chandramuki pEi story with vadivelu, sivaji fair & lovely, mirchi etc. as Rajini's good ones. These come under.. "U like it because u like the actor" (IMO).

"kaalai kaalai" song from MANIDHAN

At the start Rajini in white & white :clap: :thumbsup: paarkka attagasama irupparu…. Stylish :yes: paattum avaru style'ukku pramadhama irukkum.. aana Roobini.. Kanraviya oru dress pOtuttu.. thayya thakkanu kudhikkum :evil:

:shock: apdiya

indha song youtube'la illaiya?

thedunEn kedaikkalai :P

Rajini(Vinod Khanna) with Krishna(Amitabh) in Ram Robert Rahim(remake of Amar Akbar)
In Hindi, Amitabh walked away with the credits. In Telugu, it is Rajni who does that. In a less crowd pleasing role, Rajini eats up Krishna(admittedly not a great feat by itself).
Poor Krishna, having once been subject to act in a critical face-to-face scene with the greatest of them all in Viswanatha Nayakudu, is bitten twice here as Rajini effortlessly dominates the scene.

Krishna didnt stop at this self-humiliation. He went ahead and remade Deiva Magan :rotfl3:

was that the movie with Revathy, she acts a blind women in that :oops:

THILLUMULLU IS A LAUGH RIOT

:rotfl:

I watched Super Star's 'Payum puli' yesterday after a very long time, I am sure this filmwould have been hit 'those' days, was it a super hit, or blockbuster like billa? This was released in 1983.. nice songs by Dr.IR

One song by Dr.SPB which takes your breathaway, where he completley changes his voice and sings in such a funny voice , the song is ' aadi maasam kathadichu..'

superb singing :)

Paayum Puli was super hit when it was released first time and it also affected the business of Moondru Mugam, otherwise moondrum mugam would have been even bigger.

But seriously, the songs were awesome and I am talking also about the smaller ones:
Aatula Annakili,
Munti Munthi vinayagaree
Kannai Thirantha.

Then the other big ones.

Fun and folksy
Vadi Vettalai pakka
Adi Panthalilee.

Naughty
Madattile Kanni Madatile (that Shankar/Harris stole for Anniyan)

Romantic, with tinge of sadness:
Konji Konji Alaigalooda.

And of course, the most majestic of it all (that probably inspired the picturisation of all the dance songs in Muthu later).
Malai Kovil Vasalil.....

Then, of course, Rajini. There is still the performer in him in this film, may it be comedy scene (Govinda scene had my wife laughing till she teared) or somber ones. Too bad, this film is sandwiched between the Baashas and the Padaiyappas that it might be forgotten. I hope not.

Agree with each and every word. There are around 10 songs in the film and I love all of them (Mano's gruff voice not withstanding). And Rajini was so natural in the 2nd half. Reminds you of Guru Sishyan :D

athaane .. too much -ya :)

I like Mano too. Just that he sounded horrible in this particular film.

The fact that Mano always tries to immitate SPB (& ends up pathetically) must be the reason PS hates him this much.

That aside, Mano did have some very good numbers.

Muqala Muqabala is his 'OWN' voice the rest is all SPB wannabe :rotfl3:

BTW , I met him in restaurant in London,, not many recognised him... he seemed friendly ,... may that was the 'Jack Daniel' he was drinking :lol2:

No No, I dont hate him at all ... he makes a mockery out of him self doing that, remember arunmozhi tried this one but he stopped straight away knowing it doesn't work out..

any one remember 'Kovai' Soundararajan... he tried to imitate TMS, and he was a good imitator, he knew his limits and stuck to it.

look at unnimenon another Dr.KJY wannabe :lol2:

Thanks to Dr.IR and Dr.SPB.... During Anjali film time SPB sir had throat operationn and was unable to sing for months and months, Mano use to work in IR troop as a helping hand... and he was big fan of SPB and a imitator,so IR gave him chance, then we all know what happend :rotfl:

mano is not just another imitator...he has sung lots of great songs ..one of the prominent singers of his time singers..prolly next to spb and jesudas.

he imitates spb..right..but he is unique in his own way

Ada adhu anjali illabA. Idhayaththai thirudaadhE. Mano sang all the songs which were sung by SPB in the Telugu version. Meesicals can confirm.

Another dig - I think ARR used him extremely well. I like all Mano-ARR songs.

o papa lali(mano) in tamil is such a great song...and I havent listened to the telugu version(spb) until recent past.

SPB - :notworthy: ..taking nothing away from mano.... SPB was just awesome...showed the difference between good singer and a great singer...he just carried the mood of the song to completely different level..

ithaa thaan naan solla vanthEn.. Oh priya priya in Telugu (SPB) tamil (mano) listen to it :rotfl: absolute murder by mano :rotfl:

any way coming back to the topic... :lol2:

paramasivan,

absolute murderlam too much...

mano was good...its just that SPB was great.

I don't think Arunmozhi tried to emulate SPB. He had a unique voice that suited very well for Parthiban. I like lot of his songs.

He did in few songs, Can't remember...esp the silimishams SPB does like the laughter, giggles.. these are SPB's trade mark..

But I too liked his songs, I think there were 2 songs of him in muthu

Mano is much better than some nasal singers form bollywood....he is not great like SPB....but he is good singer.... At the same time, i too agree that he tried to immitate SPB....


PM,
Reagrding 'jack daniel',
I came to know that mano started to dring after his son's death.....
