Favorite Scenes/Songs from THALAIVAR Rajini films #3

Amitji is quite affected in his non-cool performances. Two of his performances I liked wee anand and zanjeer - basically, angst ridden ones. But nothing that rajni can't do. Comedy attempts of pachan unsagikkable.

80's masalas - bad, though rajni remade some of them. Still, khuddar vs padikkadhavan - same role - rajni way ahead.

Art attempts of 90's and 00's - that's when I dropped out of pachan fandom :-)

My gold std for rajni - ketta paya sir avan, rendu kai rendu kaal illainaalum, en thangchida - pachan can't even imagine doing that.

I liked it.

If nishabd is remade, rajni can show a thing or two to amitji how it is done.

Post hrishikesh mukherjee and then post deewar, pachan has only been hamming in different forms.

Black-A? :roll:

Well, 'thaLapathi' is one of those films in which Rajini channels Bachchan often throughout the film!

To pick the most obvious one, Deewaar?

I have seen all the movies of Amitji mentioned here (Anand, zanjeer, don, black, khuddar etc). Save for Billa Vs Don, Rajini is a far superior actor than Amitji and he is 100 times cooler than Amitji. Netrikkan Chakravarthy ellAm sathiyamaa varaadhu Amitjikku. Comedy pathi naan pEsa vENdiyadhillai-nu ninaikkiREn. Also Amitji fails miserably in emotional scenes too. (Bllack was OK). Amitji's strenghth - roles like Deewar and Rajini can do better (though he was not as good as Amitji in Thee)
