Biggest minus for him:
most of his 90's films are enjoyable (with Gounder) but not great / memorable
I filtered your list to lead roles:

Good idea for a poll. Enna, rendu votes thaan vizha poguthu :lol:
Adellam seri HR & Rakesh....
Adhu eppadi "Walter Vetrivel" & "Amaidhi Padai"-eh kottai viteenga rendu perum :wink: Those two are the biggest super hits in SR's career, as a hero :)
But my personal favourite of SR is Kadalora Kavaithaigal. I loved his performance in that movie more than any other movie in his career simply because the second half of Chinappa Das was out of his comfort zone. 8-)
Welcome MC. Two man show threadla vanthathukku rembe santhosham.
Look at the posting before HR's list, where he said we can all unanimaously agree that Amaithi Padai is his best. No contest on that, athan the other list.
As for Walter Vetrivel...nah, I didn't like the performance. The way he says, "Walter! Walter Vetrivel" Yuck! I'd revisit the film for annan only. His "chemistry" with the sober Vijayakumar is awesome!
And yeah, kadalora Kavithaigal was wonderful. A lot need to be talked about Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupaadu too. We must thank Kamal for giving him that role.
I have seen KKK just once and almost forgot the plot of the movie... Must revisit it soon. KH normally doesn't compliment an actor that easily unless he/she is worth it. But he rates SR highly as an actor alongside Nasser & Delhi Ganesh. :)
Adidhadi is one of the most enjoyable Sathyaraj movie without goundamani :)Quote:

Napoleon and his poetry :rotfl:

It has been long time since I saw this film. I know this was the film which gave big break for Sathyaraj as a lead actor.
Somehow, I am not satisfied with his "songi" kind of portrayal in the second half.
But I liked some of his serious roles mentioned in the list.
Walter Vetrivel ---- its more of a serious policeman with more family emotions.... even Sathyaraj himself laughing about the way he say, "vEl... vetrivEl... walter vetrivEl" :lol:
Groucho.. shall we add the poll by combining both of our list:

Sathyaraj's 2nd best
