Hamid - my daughter is already a Vijay fan. Ofcourse, being still a kid, one can excuse her :)
Of course.. we can excuse her. but not you, when you dont take her to her favourite star's movies regularly :cool2:
Oh she doesn't like going to theatres. Fan just to the extent of watching songs on TV. That too, just mild preference. I am confident as she grows, she'll mature ;-)

Annan enna thambi enna sondhamenna (also Aanenna pennenna from DD)
Vandhenda Paalkaran is also nice (in parts)...
and ofc Kaadhalin Deepam ;)
1.Ramen aandaalum - the essence of Rajini, this song is.2.Oru thanga radahthil 3. Aagaya gangai - dripping with romance, rajini style. This is my favourite over kaadhalin dheepam as the essence of Rajini romance 4. Johhny, Johnny, Johnny - how can you make a list without *ALL* songs from Johnny, Hamid? 5. Kaadhalin Dheepam ondru 6. Raagangal padhinaaru 7. Appane appane - playful rajini 8. Nadhiyoram and Nandhavanathil - free spirit Rajini, again the essence of late 70s Rajini. Appo win paNNina hearts dhaan basis for his superstar image sustenance 9. Naan Polladhavan and Naane Endrum Raja- the wild, wild, unchained, irreverence that pre-marriage Rajini was 10. Maappillaikku maman manasu - the performer par excellence. 10a) Ramanin mohanam - vengala kinnam in Rajini romance category. Obviously, all my choices are from late 70s-early 80s
As I typed that, I realised that I said "Essence of Rajini" more than once. Obviously, behind that superstar facade lies an awesome actor, whom you could define in multi-dimensional terms, and had his own indescribable "it" thing, something that you could identify as Rajini-ness. Among the wannabe superstars in his footsteps, who has that "it" thing? ANother thing is though I defined the phases of his craeere based on my life and my movmement in and out of his camps, it seems to me my peak fandom of him is up to his free-spirit phase. The phase that moved me away is the phase he got co-opted into the system as the conservative, family-types, lovely, lovable man image. After marriage. So there is something beyond just the quality of the movies he acted in - what we lost because of his superstardom in terms of Rajini's acting skills cannot be measured at all. From the rebellious free-spirit capable of a range of emotions through bhairavi, mullum malarum to polladhavan, he became the lovable cuddly brother, lover, thalaivar. Obviously, he lost some of the zing associate with the free-spiritedness in the process. A lamentable loss to tamil filmdom. I also remember one among Kannadasan/MGR/AVMSaravanan advicing him that "ennappA polladhavan, billa padikkadhavannu padathukku pEru negativEA; nalla positiveA pEru vayyi". Hence the titles became Manidhan, oor kavalan etc. While not explicitly, I think this also saignified his move from his earlier persona to the conventional persona of mid 80s onwards. Wonder if that's got something to do with my migration...indha artistlaam edhukku kalyaanam panni kuzhandhai ellaam pethukkanum. Indha NT, Rajini ivangulekellaam nalla family life illaama irundhirundhaa namakku nalladha irundhirukkumo?
