Madhavan eduthuppoma?
Groucho, defined parameters padi Madhavanukku oru case file podunga.
Oh boy, I will be repeating myself, but for Madhavan's sake, let me try this.
1. Ability to blend into the film, irrespective of the film's milieu, mood, theme, setting
We already saw this. He has done romance and has succeeded very well. He is a natural in comedies, we all saw that. He is also capable of totally love it or loath it over the top performance (Thambi, that really impressed me). He has some semi-arthouse tragedy about a ordinary middle class bloke going nuts (Evano Oruvan that got many notices), and of course, recent foray into Horror that we saw him exceling in responding to the horror surrounding him without resorting to overemoting (pey padamna romba express pannuvanggo matta payalugha). Except for Thambi, I had hardly heard of complaints about his not doing well in the films he was in. And I don't even want to talk about his status as non-Tamizh film star as it won't be appropriate here.
2. Variety of roles - not sure what this means though - let's say ability to emote a range of emotions
Well, maybe not up to the senior's level, but he has done quiet a bit. The horrid "chocolate boy" roles, the fiery low class thug, the eccentric philantrophist cum vigilante, the regular bloke went psycho, the middle class family man in a haunted apartment, the arrogant NRI who learns life lesson through a trip across the country on train with a communist sympathising union leader. This comes to my mind immediately. I must say, its pretty varied.
3. Should we bring in ability to do any accent.
Done accents, but not that great, I guess. As you said, ithula Kamal-ai adichikka mudiyathu.
Other points
Ease of performance:
He does not come of as trying too hard. Okay, once he did this in Thambi, which made some hubbers here laugh. But I thought it was purposely over the top to match the eccentricity of the character he was playing.
Unlike others, there is no sense of "look ma I am acting". No self-conscious performance. He just reacts, responses as a character.
Comedy:
I'd say essential for anyone who wants to be a good actor. You must be funny even without the assistance of a comedian. That what made Kamal and Rajini great. That is what Madhavan has.
Presence.
Meaning, no need for build up or soft lenses to make him glow. He has that strong presence and great charisma and easy chemistry with his co stars.
Low point:
If this matters at all, he needs to brush up on stunt. Haang Kaangla poyee martial arts padikka poyirukaaraam. Paarpom.
