Gee, I feel bad commenting about fellow NT fan, a fan who contributed to NT fandom some more. Damn my conscience.

I feel bad. A great NT fan, but unfortunately not a great talent. Wait, wait I am wrong...he plays good drum and bongo.
What ygm discussion? Be focussed folks. Looks like vg has affected folks in a strong way - selected!
There is still enough room to have sivakumar. While siva maintained his limited range, and never ventured beyond his territory - fondly called markandeyan, it boggles the mind to think that he was kind of the romantic drama staple in 80's - he has made enough impact even within this range. At this point, important to remember stochastica's description of his anger style few pages back - basically, that formed the basis for surya's ghajini performance.
Sangeedha medaiya sakkadiakka pakkariya with eyes rolling and hands waving frantically, sideways stance - everything stocahstica describes as his stock pose to express anger is here - he would have stood erect too to complete that description except he was sitting. But what is more important to note here is the sing-song intonation of the dialogue - sangeedha medaiya, 1 microsec pause, saaaakkadiyakka parkariyaaaa. This is standard for all scenes - neenga ellorum needuzhi vqqzhanum will also be in same intonation by him.
But what takes the cake is his romantic escapades on camera in 80's - the then kudicha nari expressions with menaka(unakkagave vaazhgiren), laksmi(many films) are legendary. Given his off-screen persona of a pathniviradha dikkinified man, this is doubly entertaining. In unakkagave vaazhgiren, director rangarajan gets inspired and kills off young suresh and pairs the made for each other wannabe-celibate pair of nadiya and siva in the climax. This ofcourse means that the menaka whom siva romanced passionately in the beginning of the flashback has to kick the bucket,too.
(And yes, the number of young heroes conveniently kicking the bucket before being married off to nadia in the script,is perplexong and a topic by itself - we saw rahman doing it in nilave malare earlier - perhaps he was traumatised by anbulla appa, where bang in the crucial moment in the first night, nadia has a severe bout of daddy-affection, and walks out - maybe he felt marubadiyum idhu koodava!and the directors of the time seemed to know where to place nadia - promptly pairing her to siva, rajesh et al when suresh, rahman were available in the script - she sufferred/enjoyed this fate more than any other contempoprary actress)
The getting together of siva and nadia involves some trite contrivances, but what takes the cake is siva's viraham expressions in the song kanna unnai thedugiraen - we used to sing it as chittappa unnai thedugiraen, to signify the nadia-sivakumar pairing - we were too young to understand the director's wisdom) - thede are exactly same as the sangeedha medaiyai expressions in sindhu bhairavi.
Siva's specialty was his random choice of expressions for random moods. The director would be playing lottery there not knowing what expression he's gonna get next. I don't know if this qualifies him here but I have got off my chest another of my childhood trauma - which somehow always seem to involve nadia - so avangalukkuga oru rhani thread-e aarambikkanum
Groucho,
Avar tabla player dhaane?
Plum,
"Ponvaanam panneer thoovudhu" - It cannot be topped! Enna solreenga?
Tabela paarkala, CR. I saw him playing Bongo and drums in some of those NT/Kannadhasan tribute concerts. He should be able to play, I guess. Most percussionists are pretty versatile.Quote:

Cr, right. Andha padam erkanave puriyalai appo parthappo - idhula siva expression in this song paarthu onnume determine panna mudiyalai - lakshmiyai anniya respecta paarkuraara, illai extra marital affair intentionada look viduraara, virahma, virodhama - onyum puriyadhu!
Infact this discussion on nadia gives me the idea for a "ultra pati-vrata touch-me-not heroines". The candidate list ofcourse would have the title favourite nadia, bhanumathi(except when with nag rao), suhasini(except when with chiranjeevi in rain - idhai patri annan joe virivaga solluvar). Prabhuram, indha thread aarambinga, andha dignity matterum angaiye pesuvom)
