Favorite Scenes/Songs from THALAIVAR Rajini films #3

தண்ட பசங்க!. குரு சிஷ்யன் நீட்ஸ் அட்லீஸ்ட் எ பிபுட்டி (50)!!

As you said there is no dearth of funny scenes in GS. Agreed the film is a masala but whats the big deal. It made you and me and most of us laugh and it still works. The film has a good supporting cast in the form of Prabhu, Vinu, Radharavi, Cho and Manorama. Enna irundha than ivanga othupaanga nnu puriala. And i agree with you Murattu Kaalai is no comparison to GS. GS is funny-fantastic.

Even in the 2nd half there was no dearth of funny scenes. Only the last 20 mins or so is ordinary. Guru Sishyan should have got around 47.

But, let me contradict my own statement kalyaanaraman earned more than 55 or 60, I am not sure. Dont tell me kalyaanaraaman is not a masala movie! Bcos it is Kh who was rated highly those days no matter what movie he did. But for the past 10 years or so, Kh is in their bad book. Beats me!

As a matter of fact 16 vayathinilae at 62.5 marks is highest ever by vikatan. Vikatan has its own standard for rating. IMO other kamal haasan films such as nayagan, mahanadhi and hey ram deserved more marks than 16 vayathinilae got only 60 each if that is the case.

Strongly disagree!

16v aLavukku maRRathula either orinigalityO or nativityO irukkAdhu! You can say technically a little bit week but no other KH film has touched the heart of majority in TN. (I'm from the group that unless a film satifies majority, it could max be called good but never great. Disclaimer - the corollary is NOT TRUE!

mahAnadhi / HR were commercially far far below 16v and nAyakan too didn't have that nook and corner reach! TIME fellow doesn't know anything about TN -why, they didn't know much about even India till a few years back - and so his certificate doesn't mean much in this comparative analysis)

what originality/nativity was missed in mahanadhi?

nativityna village movies mattum than nativitiya? :lol:

Standing the test of time is one important factor for a movie to be called as a GREAT movie - I dont think 16 V stands above moives like Mahanadhi in that aspect..even today - "amma naan pass ayiyen"..that veterenary doctor .. "climax barathiraja voice" looks funny...which is not the case with Mahanadhi/thevar magan/mmkr types(later part of kamal career)

Yes, 16 vayathinile deserves to be the topper of all time. I am not sure TA talks from his heart. :lol:

IYO, all the three other you mentioned deserve how many marks? And which one is top-rated among the three? Or they all deserve the same marks but higher than 62.5?

Feel free to give your marks! :D

what is Vikatan's rating for basha :huh: ?

I had to admit Vinu was hilarious in GS :clap:

Viv,
Like I said, I belong to an "average" movie appreciator group and not a connoisseur:-)

mahAnadhi wasn't a big success even at the time of its release - standing the test of time comes much after that (barring a few brilliant portions, it was a bore and drag IMO - tons of 80's Malayalam movies were with similar themes but a lot more crispier, that's one of the reason I couldn't feel this 90's product a "fresh" one). Unnecessary & too many songs, which were also ordinary by IR standards is another reason. Not even one comes to my mind today - other than the sriranga ranga temple song - which, for an IR/KH movie - from my PoV - is nothing short of shocking!

I never felt that way for 16V songs (neither unnecessary not outdated). Also, even when I watched recently on dvd, 16V hasn't lost lusture :-)

Well, taste differs. In any case, AV can give marks only at a point of time :-)

more and more digressions now :evil:

Updating my Thalaivar DVD collection with the following movies (will be getting these 6 movies this weekend) - Thanga Magan, Padikkathavan, Thalapathy, Mannan, Annamalai, and Arunachalam.

Well, I had originally ordered about 20 of them, but these were the ones that the store had in their inventory at this time. I've asked them to get the other ones for me as soon as they can!

My parents still judge a movie based on the Vikatan rating. Leading thamizh magazine for over 50 years. Very widely read. etc are the reasons I think. I have even seen directors looking forward to their reviews. ippO kooda neeyA naanA kObi while introducing pandiraj in one of the episodes went, "vikatan aimbadhu mark kuduthu paaraattiya"...

---

They were good till 10 years back barring few glitches. There were days we used to watch movie based on only vikatan reviews.

---

yeah.. Vikatan Reviews enjoyed a greater respect among public.. Padam Publicity panrathukku kooda the marks were used widely.. best example was Puthiya Paathai movie which got some 50 + marks. Antha marks otti posters ellaam kooda naan paarthirukaen :P

One major sarukkal they got was their most one sided bad review they gave for Balachander movie vaanamae ellai.. where as all the other magazines gave a much positive review for the same movie.. ippellaam yaarum vikatan marks a perusaa kandukirathilla..
