NT's 'must watch' list continues:
91. Kungumam - Mystery, NT wrongly acussed for a crime, on the run and meets beautiful Saradha, "Mayakkam enathu thayagam..." is a song many of us can relate to.
92. Thangachurangam - My favourite NT action film, response to spy-mania that hit worldwide no thanks to James Bond films. NT playing bond-like character is like watching Lord Laurence Olivier playing Bond = awesomeness! Check out the only song sequence in the history of films shot entirely inside a well.
93. Muradan Muthu - Watching NT and Bandhulu lashing it out is heartbreaking, you can't take sides of these two brothers who love each other very much. Heartbreaking, yes, but also tremendous amount of humour helps.
94. Muthal Thedhi = A very young NT playing an elderly wage earning father and husband who has to keep at it every month. Template for Visu and later V.C. Sekhar movies, NSK provides the lighthearted moments.
96. Andhamaan Kaadhali = Exotic locale, moving romance, broke-up by circumstances, older NT and Sujatha is reunited in not so endearing circumstances. Breezy film with beautiful songs.
97. Koondukkili = MGR and NT. Only film. Bristling with different acting style, with NT given bigger burdern as MT stays away for awhile. Template for Rajini's dark-side.
99. Ethirpaaraadhadhu = Calling your lover mother? Oh yeah, template for many K.B films.
100. Thyaagam = Cynical alcoholic who deep inside is a decent man and nobody wants to know that. Nallavarkellam satchigal rendu, ondru manasatchi - beautiful song again the decent folks among us who's often misunderstood can relate to this character.
more to come... [INTERVAL]
Happy Viewing,
Pammalar.
