Comedy is a serious business. Sivaji is as good in comedy role as in other character roles. Let us all discuss about his full-length comedy movies.
I can list some of them here:
1. Kalyanam Panniym Brahmachari - with TR Ramachandran
2. Sabhash Meena - with Chandra Babu
3. Arivaali - with Thanga Velu
4. Bale Pandya - with MR Radha
5. Galatta Kalyanam - with Nagesh
6. Anjal Petti 520 - again with Nagesh and Thengai Seenivasan??
Lots of others......
With this list, you can see Sivaji has acted with almost all major Comedians at the time. Still, he gave an outstanding performance and very versatile!
I am not including Deiva Magan in this list, but his comedy (younger sivaji) with Nagesh is outstanding and hilarious.
Let us discuss more on this.
Add some more to the list:Quote:

all fulltime comedy series.
Arivali
was based on the drama 'Taming of the shrew' by shakespeare :grin:. I am sure everybody knows. Bhanumathi, also known for her humour and sarcasm paired with shivaji to make it a TREAT.
WONDERFUL MUST-WATCH movie.
tacinema and Sarooojiii,
In the comedy movies list pls add the movie SELVAM...also.... SVRangarao at his best......though theme was serious the movie was all fun...
Sarooojiii,
WHen I mentioned about the movie SELVAM...I know that you are going to celebrate with joy about the name....for various reasons...!!
Bye
I watched Bandham, what a movie that made me cry :cry: . Shalini in the film dies, :cry:
Justice....
You should also see the movie.... ANBULLA APPA....
Nadigar thilagam with the beautiful.... Nadhiya....
Great exhibition of father daughter love and affection.....
THis movie will totally focus on two characters ...that of Shivaji and Nadhiya and rest were all just supporting characters...
Shivaji at his best.....even in the evening of his great career..
of course, I'd watch it.
Bandham, still in my eyes, what a movie.
the song yaanai kathai cannot be explained with poor words
Sivaji and Shalini's acting, WOW
throughout the movie, both of them keep us alive, and when Shalini dies, we are down. wonder how she acted that well, but acting alongside sivaji will set the fire 8-)

Whenever I want to write about a great song, my mind automatically jump to 'Nadigar Thilagam' Shivaji's songs. The one I selected now, definitely will be a favourite of most of the Tamil cinema fans.
The song "AmmammA thambi endru nambi" has two versions, one in the beginning of the movie, when Rangadurai and his brother and sister are small boys, and it was written as a patriotic song. The second one (which we are going to discuss now) is mingled with the personal life of Rangadurai. Indha pAdalil(vazhakkam pola) Kannadasan, MSV, TMS, Shivaji... ellOrum neeyA nAnA pArkkalAm endRu pOtti pOduvArgaL. AdhanAl nammakku innum oru virundhu.
This story has a heavy storylined subject, telling the struggling for day-to-day life of a Drama Artist Rangadurai. (adikkadi thiraiyil pArkAtha vidhyAsamAna story). Oru pakkam ChellamAga valarththa thannudaiya thambi (Sreekanth) thAnAgavE oru panakkAra pennai maNandhu kondu nirandharamAga pirindhu pOi vitta sOgam. Innoru pakkam chellamAga vaLarththa thangai (Jaya), thannudaiya maamiyAr (C.K.Saraswathi) matRum kaNavanAl (Sasikumar) veettai vittu viratti adikkappatta vEdhanai.
Indha nEraththilthAn innoru idiyAga, thangaiyin kanavanukku innoru pennai thirumanam seyya iruppathAga aRindhu Rangadurai (Shivaji) maNam udinadhu pOvAr (through an invitation from brides father, who is already a friend for Rangadurai, but does not know that groom already got married with Shivaji's sister). Shivaji will torn that invitation and throw. But, without his notice, his sister Seetha (Jaya) will collect and join them and get shocked to know her husband is going for second marriage. She tell his brother:
"AnnA...enakku orE oru AsaithAn annA. Chinna annanai pArkka AsaiyA irukku. azhaichikittu vAngannA".
When he was waiting in T.K.Bagavathy's (brother's mAmanAr) house, His brother (Sreekanth) and his modern wife (Kumari padmini) come from Table-Tennis court. On seeing his brother, Rangadurai expects one of these question:
"AnnA...neengaLA..eppa vandheenga?" (with affection)
(or)
"AnnA... ingE yEn vandheenga?" (with anger).
But Sreekanth asks
"YAr Neenga?". Thambiyin indha kELviyil Shivaji appadiyE noRungi pOvAr.
When he decided to leave from there, Sreekanth's father-in-law T.K.Bagavathy, knowing he is a drama actor, compells him to sing a song for him. Shivaji will take the two Table Tennis rackets from the teapoy, using as 'thALam' and start his song, with old pallavi, which he sang with his brother and sister for begging in the train.
"AmmammA thambi endRu nambi avan unnai vaLarthAn
thAi endRum thandhai endRum thanni ninaithAn
avan unakkAga vAzhndha uLLam allavo"
each word in the thogaiyarA will be a power packed one, describing his previous and present life of Rangadurai.
"Kaiyil vaiththu kAthirundhAl kAladiyil kAthirukkum
nandRi mikka nAigaL uLLa nAdu
idhil sondhamindRi bandhamindRi, vandha vazhi ninaivumindRi
piLLaigaLum piRandhirukkum veedu"
then he put thALam with the table tennis racket... wow what a natural (pAvi mavanE, engayyA kathikittE idhellAm), then continue the charanam:
"Rama nAdagathil moondRu thambigaLin uLLam kandEnE
nalla BhArathathil nAlu thambigaLai nAnum kandEnE
adhu nAdagamA....idhu nAdagamA...
ingu nAn kAnum vEshangaL konjamallavE
nAn idhu pondRa vEshathil vandhathillaiyE"
In next charanam, he will narrate the story about her sister who came back from her husband, permenantly.
"thangai ennum iLaiya kandRu thAi veedu vandhadhendRu
ennudaiya nAdagathil kAtchi
avaL koNdavanai pirindhu vandhu kOlam kondu niRpadhanai
kaNdadhaRku innoruvan sAtchi"
Again thALam with tennis bat, with very closeup in three differetn angle.
"kaNNil neer peruga seethai nindRa nilai kannil therigiRathu
aNNan koNda thuyar thambi latchumanan nenjil vizhugirathu
adhu pAsamanRO... idhu vEshamndRO....
avan rAjAthi rAjanukku piLLai allavO
indha rAjapArt rangadurai yEzhai allavo"
adhu eppadi, verum paththu varigaLukkuL andha situation muzhuvathaiyum, adhuvum purAna idhigAsa mErkOLgaLudan, indha KannadAsan kondu vandhAr...?. Thatswhy still we are talking about him, and life long........
It is just an indoor song, that too Shivaji acts by just sitting in the sofa. But Camera will roll in various angles with crane shots. Sreekanth will stand on top of the stairs, Kumari Padmini will stand in one corner. Bagavathy sitting opposite to Shivaji. Camera covers all. In the meantime too much close-up shots for Shivaji. P.Madhavan and P.N.Sundaram shooted with perfect lighting and super close-ups. (No surprise, both of them moulded by the great Sreedhar).
After shivaji left from there, Bagavathy will tell "Idhu Rangadurai vAzhkaiyil nadandha kathaiyO allathu nadandhukittu irukkiRa kadhaiyO, andha AndavanukkuthAn theriyum".
One of the memorable songs, evergreen and worthwatching.
