Hi everyone
Ridiculous to see jayachitra seated in front row :lol: I think they should not have invited TMS . It is immaterial whether TMS will praise NT or self boost himself but he contributed more and worked together so long. Vairamuthu spoke nicely but Valli should have given preference.
My preference is Manorama/Nagesh/KRV/TMS/MSV/Valli. They might have more experience to share than those who spoke on that day.
ETHILIUM POLITICS :evil:

Though it is political gain, we all thank TN Govt and CM Mr Karunanidhi for making efforts to open a statue for Dr Sivaji.
The announcement for this was done in Governor's speech when the new TN
govt was formed.
Thought there are still some contoversies surrounding the place of statue, MK has given assurance that the traffic will not be disturbed.
The freedom fighter should have filed his etition long back. The govt has selected the place well in advance.
and so far only some section of media is making issue out of it.
After Five years, with so many hurdles, MK has made it possible with his sincerity and truthness to his friendship with Sivaji.
Nevermind he may be benefitted out of this. Earlier govt has not done this !
Vazga Sivaji pugaz!
i'm sure sivaji's soul will get some peace whenever he sees these pages... :(
Good that the statue finally came up and I think the opening ceremony was a grand one. But, as usual, our celebrities like Rajni, Vijaykanth talked about CM rather than Sivaji. That should have been strictly avoided.
In addition, CM could have avoided two major things:
1. Statue location controversy: Not erecting Sivaji's statue near Gandhi's one.
2. Not making statue function as a political theater.
I am extremely happy that our thespian NT has got some respect from his home state. NT deserves a lot more and he always lives in his fans heart.
BTW, when is NT mani-mandabam coming up?
Now, putting his statue function behind, I would like to go back to healthy discussion on NT's incredible films.

Hi Everyone
go through Dailythanthi dt 28.07. Article from shivakumar about NT.
Interesting observation from NT when he saw INEY ORU SUDHANTHIRAM movie (sivakumar movie)NT said I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL FOR KAPPAL OOTIYA THAMIZHAN but people gave PATTA NAMAM you will also get the same one. I think NT got very much hurt about failure of this movie.
Another interesting observation: when NT came back from Singapore after illness , shivakumar met him. NT remarked "we have become EX-ACTORS ,no one will remember us. I felt very glad when I saw 5000 people enjoying scenes like KATTABOMMAN/THNGAPATHAKAM. I felt I should have died at that moment itself. Why I came back here?.I think NT not able to adopt to other side of life. He was so busy in younger days . Once he told Rajini that YOU KNOW HOW TO LEAD A LIFE WITHOUT BUSY SCHEDULE when he remarked about Rajini frequent visit to Himalayas and cut short his movies.
In the same article NT remarked about Muthuraman. HE PASSED AWAY WHILE IN SHOOTING "NALLA SAVUDA"
I think NT felt that he should die while acting.

Regardless of the +s & -s of the statue unveiling ceremony, we should thank Karunanadhi atleast for having taken that initiative.
Whether he scored some political points over opponents or not is debatable but he has done what others could not do for 4 years !
No function or programme will be complete in all aspects. Yeah but ignoring TMS is a SIN . :cry:

Am not surprised that he also wished to leave the world while acting .
MS Anna, where is the next release ? Overdue already !
Somehow I feel if a great portrayal like VOC or Kattabomman like statue of NT would have been more befitting .
That's really sad, reading Sivakumar's anectdote. He was not a happy man, before passing. He felt that he was not needed.
True, the 90s was a rotting period in Tamil film industry. You have many non-talents seeping in the cinema, feeding sugar coated candies to the unsuspecting audience. That cinema has no need for real talents like NT.
At least he did not have to lower himself in the world of tele-serial. He did not resort to making bad movies - all those he had done before he passed on were decent movies.
Those were mistakes made by Marlon Brando, making really terrible movies, parodying himself, and basically contributing nothing the last two decades.
Singa Thamizlanadaaa...
Shivaji Ganeshanadaaa....
Endrum Pugazl manakkum ...
Engal thangamadaaaaaaaaa....
Awesome Inspiring song by MK. Sung wonderfully by Junior Seerkazli.......
MK comments on the song..As I just thought of Shivaji in my mind the song spontaneously came up in my mind........
Dear Balaji and all others who have been following the NT political innings thread, Sorry for the delay. This weekend, I would be posting.
