I was appreciating parts of that performance.

But Vel maadhiri mokkai padangaL paarka mudinjidhi - even though there were those "petrol kerosene sumo" moments, there was enough compensating screen-hogging moments. He could carry it off. As PR pointed out, moments of Aaru also stand out. I have more problems with his 'succesful', 'crowd-pleasing' ayans and ghajinis.
I cant say that of RenDu and Madhavan. Madhvan needs the script to back him, and even there, when the director didnt rein him, he ended up with a Jyothika-inspired Thambi.
He was awesome in 13B. But that role is almost Madhavan himself, minus the shocked moments, and the thrill konashtais he had to do.
Yup, intha vishayathil thalaivar is underrated. Alex pandian might seem over the top but the panache of the performance was dual styled. One brought out rajini's natural expressions and another his style gimmick, both coming together to make it a memorable role. Vikram tried to be abit more simple but he sounded more like a nice ruffian than a policeman.Quote:

If any other actor(besides kamal) tried that role it would have looked like a joke.
IMO, Alex Pandian was a joke. Andha naDai was so unnatural. And Arun performing the Alex Pandian nadai later in the party was even more horrifyingly laughable.
Not one of Rajni's best at all.

I say unnatural because he adds in too much of impact in his performance where it does not sound realistic after a while. Might be director's fault but a actor still needs to know which is suitable and which is not.Quote:

Compare kaaka kaaka to vetteiyaadu vilaiyaadu, kamal was so cold and composed, much like how a police officer should be that i just watched the film for him. The scenes where he loses his loved ones one by one did not have him going for the loud tones but controlled emotions enough to show the sadness he is going through. That is natural.
Like i said it was over the top and maybe due to the style gimmick but some of his expressions when he confronts thamarai really gave the outlook of a arrogant police officer. You have to take into mention that his movie was a entertainer rather than a cop thriller like kaaka kaaka or vetteiyaadu vilaiyaadu. Its actually quite good when you come to think that rajini had actually mixed his style gimmich(commercially wanted by everyone then and now) and his acting together.Quote:

Maddy accent-a kiNdal pannreenga OK. Kamal thavira maththa ellArum orE level dhaan. But at least a few are pretty good in their *comfort zones*
Sathyaraj - Kongu
Maddy - English and to an extent Brahmin thamizh
etc.
