Kutty Srank is a must-watch. I'm just basing it on Shaji N Karun's masterwork, Vanaprastham. And based on Lal's work there, I'm much looking forward to Mammooka's performance here. Paa :lol2:

sarNA, do you want me to answer now why I, seemingly, indulge in anti-Bachchan propoganda always?
Exactly- "Rajini copied Amitabh", "Rajini does only masala" are all lame arguments with no factual basis. Infact, my respect for rajini is probably rooted in his being ekalavyan to NT's Drona.Quote:

And anyone who says Rajini copied Amitabh's acting in those movies....no comments!

I dare Rajini to do a Baghban .
engE konjam movies pEru sollunga pArpOm? Series of Comedy movies-A? Rightu.Quote:
There were a series of comedy movies which RK downloaded fm Bollywood to Kollywood
(or are you implying that Mard, Trishul, Laawaris were all comedy movies - well, if you think so, then poor amitji, he intended them as regular masala :rotfl2: )
I really wonder...the fact that Amitji is not doing downright ridiculous roles like NT somehow got into during his 60's is one thing.Quote:
Besides, Amitabh today is playing better roles than our Shivaji Sir did during these years.
But are these of absolute merit is another question altogether.
RGV ki Aag is much different from what NT got during his twilight years but is that necessarily a great performance?
Baghban itself is a variation of Vaazhkai. So there.
Bhootnath etc - no comments. indha kuppaikku NT paNNina kuppai oNNum kuraichal illai.
You really have an handful of movies that stand out like Black, Farhan's second movie(what was its name?), and a few others. In all such, Bachchan was this scenery chewing, high baritone, dialogue spewing personality so I say Bachchan has his own rut.
By the same token, NT had a handful of movies that stood out in his 60's.
It is just a matter of perspective.
Truth is that Rajini could afford to do those Bachchan remakes and create his own stamp. Even if the plot alone were remade, the way Rajini rendered the role holds its own forte. While Bachchan had remade films of NT, Kamal and hold your breath, Sarath Kumar, and hasn't upstage any of 'em. In fact, he didn't impress me at all. I say this because I read people claiming him to be one of the greatest star-actors in planet earth. Star, undoubtedly! But as an actor? he has rough edges IMO..
lets settle some things - is "hype" the big problem here? if we keep away the hype - do u agree Amitabh is a great actor??Quote:

I find Big B to be very very good, but one or two notches below absolute greatness. Just my opinion. Tho He's the best lead actor in Hindi cinema for a while now. Aamir, SRK, Kruthigai, ah :lol2:
I have seen few movies ranging from his early days to recent ones like aag, nishabdh, paa of Amitabh and IMHO Amitabh is very good actor. But that doesnt mean that Amitabh(both as actor and star) is better than Kamal or Rajini. And saying like Amitabh > Rajini/Kamal, is a great insult to Rajini and Kamal.
Even Amitabh is lesser as an actor and better as a star than the next two sets prabhu and karthik :)
Wait.... as a star, Amitab is lesser than Vijaykanth :)
