Top 10 Versatile Actors

Theriyum Nerd. I have my own criticism of Chowdhry. But Chowdhry had his moments, sila pala edangaL thavira, it was a controlled performance.

vEL - my point was more about if you ignore the vijay-moments which needed vijay(I guess even Ajith could not have carrried those off), he was pretty watchable in the rest of the movie. He was very good in the scenes where he tells Asin that her betrothed is a drug addict(himself, actually) etc. That being one of his lesser movies, there is quite some slack that can be cut for him. he has his weaknesses, but versatile-nu solradhukku neraiyave claim irukku (Pithamagan, parts of Vel and Aaru(including accent as PR mentioned), Perazhagan, that movie where he kidnaps jyothika...ipdi)

Marvan Atapattu maadhiri career start panninadhala Surya-voda career average sure is not good but irukkara koLLila nalla koLLi dhaan sure-a. Maddy is also good. Adhukkaga, Suryavai koraichu pesanumnu illaiye...

Theriyama thaan kekuren, whats so special about Madhavan?
Enna periya versatile? His dialogue delivery is most of the times average to poor, his body language is ok, comedy sumaar, emotional scenes paravalla... except his Kanathil Muthamittal mithadhellam enakennamo perusa onnum abiprayam illa.

My list of versatile actors.

I define versatility in ability to give the appropriate acting required for that performance.

1) Madhavan
2) Dhanush
3) Arya
4) Bharath

Hard to think of the rest. Bharath is another severely underrated actor. Role may not be versatile but acting is.

He is actually the best natural actor after the terrific two(kamal and rajini). Just take thambi for example, alot of them criticised his so called rolling eyes but the way he modulated the dialogues, body language was that of someone hurt by all this violence and one who wants to eradicate this non-violently. A innocent misled person in nala damayanthi and as a misunderstanding then approving friend of kamal in anbe sivam. He does it all realistically. The thing like rakesh said was that he does not do it like he wants to show the world he is acting. All his acting is within the zone of the role.

Vikram-ku PR sonna maadhiri, adhellam intentional-a unintentional-a?

Forgot to add the romantic quotient. Surya is believed to be very romantic but he all he does is just look handsome. His scenes in ayan with tamanna were very old fashioned and if not for his looks would have been overwritten.

Madhavan is good looking as well but you can see that the way he "chases" a girl is like how a girl would want a guy to chase. Being ridiculously interested and wanting to convince her to be with him despite the otherwise negative situation like in minnale and run.

Dialaak delivery- he is good in his zone. At least he does not attempt something else and end up making a fool out of himself (Kiddo :lol2: )
Comedy - Who is better according to you? Maddy is slightly better than surya and vijay *used to* be good.

Anbe Sivam
Yaavarum Nalam
Aayitha Ezhuthu
Alaipaayuthey
EvanO oruvan
Nala Damayanthi

Idhula ellAm try putting someone else :huh: not to mention his indhi films.

Have not seen many masala's of Maddy but Run > Surya's masala's!

even Rendu - chance-e illa......the blind man character is seriously out of surya;s reach and ability :P

"Idhula ellAm try putting someone else "
Nerd, indha aatai dhaan venaangaren. Idhukku mudive illa - apram Pithamagan sakthi Maddy pannuvaranu question varum?
Sithan role-la Maddy nenachu paarka mudiyalai? So? It doesnt prove anything.

In the list, except Aaidha Ezhuthu and to an extent, nala damayanthi, it's all his comfort
zone. Andha role kooda apdi irreplaceable oNNum illaye...Nala Damayanthi, maybe but AE is not definitely a unparallelled achievement for Maddy.

RUN - entertaning-a kooda illiye :-(
(Meera was the only tolerable part of the movie - that is if you can ignore the monkey jumping she does in song sequences)
