That's indeed a great idea. Going by the reaction of the hubbers, it looks like the function was more like a felicitation for Karunanidhi than for Shivaji. I wonder how the speeches would have been if Jayalalitha had unveiled the statue. :sigh2:Quote:

But the real highlight was Shivaji’s speech in Mukaa’s felicitation held in 1998.
It was typical of Nadikar thilakam . Thanks to Sun tv, we in Africa could watch this memorable event.
Kudos to Sun tv

I wish TMS had not attended the function. :shock:Quote:

In fact, I dare say TMS had more right to be seated amongst the VIPs than Kamal or Rajini.
Not only MSV and Nagesh, many notables of that era were not there including TKR, Padhmini, KR Vijaya, Manorama, Saroja Devi, Sowkar Janaki, etc.
And yes Kannannn, the entire exercise was nothing more than a political game. You should have seen the camera's focus. :shock: :banghead:

Have you seen Kamal's Soorasamharam? Well, I watched it last night and guess what? The dialogues were by Vietnam Veedu Sundaram. And the bad guy's name is Mohandass. I'm sure NTers will know the significance fo Mohandass....
My views about this function
1.Most of the people mentioned it as 'Nadpukku eduththa vizha' as if kalainjar opened NT's statue just because NT is his friend .This is unwanted .It should be 'Nadigar Thilagaththin SiRappukku vizha'
2.TMS ,MSV ,Manorama should have been given importance
3.Bagyaraj focused on NT ,but his speach could be shorter and sweeter.
4.Vijayakanth and rajini spoke more about others than NT .Rajini should have mentioned about 'How great NT as an actor' rather than saying He is Mahan ,Maamanithan etc etc.
5.As usual kamal's speach was short and sweet.
6.The function can be less politicalised .But I can't imagine what hapopen if JJ instead of Mu.Ka ,then everybody will speak only about JJ not NT.
7.SUN TV deserves spl thanks from all NT fans .During NT's departure ,they did a splendid did .Now again they brought the function to us without any commercial breaks.
I saw the Indiaglitz videos. As usual he focussed only on what he came for. And I didn't know compass was 'vadakku nokki' in tamil.Quote:

My preference is Manorama/Nagesh/KRV/TMS/MSV/Valli. They might have more experience to share than those who spoke on that day.
