2. Anjali - bit role - but very powerful.
3. Guru Sishyan - terrific timing with rajini.
I like Prabu in KanniRaasi too. His intro :lol:
I think ladies like his smile.
I kind of remember reading in a magazine way back when he was asked about his weight, Prabhu mentioned that with his health condition(Hypertension etc), he cannot exercise too much which resulted in weight gain.Quote:

I thought it was a big flop. Correct me if I am wrong.
Sameeba kaalathula vandha Kummipaattu padaththa vittutteenga...
Charlie Chaplin'a vittutteenga... :angry2: wt a fantastic comedy and superb dance by Prabhu...
"Thaalaattu kekkudhamma" is another movie (with Kanaga), where you can find a neat & subtle performance from him. The role is almost similar to the one which NT did in Selvam.
Saradhaa,
Good that you pointed out the lesser known movies which were successful. Certain films in the same category are Uthhama Purushan, Chinna Mappilai, My Dear Marthandan, Senthamizh Paatttu, Panchalankurichi etc.
Rajakumaran was not a flop movie. What happened was when the movie got released, the result was not good. So in most of the areas, the distributors sold the movie. But after 3,4 weeks the movie picked up and whoever had bought it made a huge profit. I know this as a first hand information because my friends were there in distribution. In Nagerkoil, it ran for 100 days. [Another movie which gave huge profits for second hand distributors was Satyaraj's Thirumathi Palanisamy].
Selva,
You are right. Pasumpon failed at the BO. Saradhaa by oversight must have written that .
Regards
ya. nalla padam. Any idea when it got released ? (Murali sir might help) Was it around Nayagan, thalapathy, brahma time ?Quote:

டியர் செல்வா,
நீங்கள் சொல்வது உண்மைதான். பாரதிராஜாவின் படம் என்ற நினைப்பில் சற்று சறுக்கி விட்டேன். 'பசும்பொன்' ஓடவில்லை என்பதே சரி.
டியர் Sar(ava)na,
கும்மிப்பாட்டு, சார்லி சாப்ளின் மட்டுமல்ல, இதுபோல பல படங்கள் சத்தமில்லாத வெற்றியைப்பெற்றிருக்கின்றன. எனது பட்டியலில் 'இவைதான் பிரபுவின் வெற்றிப்படங்கள்' என்று முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைத்துவிடவில்லை. இவை போன்ற பல படங்கள் என்று குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளேன். இன்னும் பலவும் கூட இருக்க்கின்றன.
டியர் முரளி,
சின்னமாப்ப்ளே, பாஞ்சாலங்குறிச்சி ஆகியவற்றை நான் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளேன். 'உத்தம புருஷன்' பெயர் எனக்கு சட்டென நினைவுக்கு வரவில்லை. ஆனால் 'பட்டிக்காடா பட்டணமா மூக்கையா சேர்வை போல கட்டுக்குடுமியுடன் வருவாரே அது என்ன படம்?' என்று யோசித்துப் பார்த்தேன். பெயர் நினைவுக்கு வர மறுத்துவிட்டது.
I think prabu started his new innings with Budget padmanabhan and Middle class madhvan. Unfortunately, it ended without getting bigger. I like Budget Padamanabhan.
Madam, it is " Uthama raasa "Quote:

Saradhaa, sorry. Naanum gavanikkavillai. After seeing your post, then I read your old post again. You have mentioned . Mohan has given you the name. I wanted to include Uthhama Rasa also in the profit list. Though it was not a 100 day movie, it ran for 12 weeks in Madurai and Nagerkoil.
Selva, Thalaattu Ketkudhamma was a 100 day movie and as your brother had pointed out, it did well in B & C.

What everyone said are right. Most of his movies were silent hits, with the magic slogan of 'Less Expense & Normal Profit'.
Is there any offcial website for Prabhu...?.
Can anyone provide the complete 'Filmography' of Prabhu, here...?. (including the guest rolls he has done).
Raakesh,
You wanted me to talk about initiation of Prabhu into films. Actually it was Ramkumar who was persuaded to take up acting and that too way back in 1974, much before Prabhu came into the picture.
Bobby was released in 1973 and it was a huge hit. Rishi kappor and Dimple became stars overnight. Sridhar wanted to remake the same in Tamil with Ramkumar in the lead and a new face as a heroine. He put his cousin CVR in charge of direction. In fact i remember they had even given the news to papers.
Ramkumar at that time was a second year student at Vivekananda College. What actually transpired was Sridhar approached VCS and he told him that the family wants Ram to complete his studies. When Sridhar persisted, VCS said that he would speak with NT. But the proposal was firmly negatived by NT.
Assuming that the approval nod would come, Sridhar had gone ahead with the news through his PRO. This was not received well by Annai Illam. So whatever chances were there, it got nipped.
Ramkumar recently said that he was never interested in the first place and so the point of taking it up never came up.
So with this background, CVR approached VCS for permitting Prabhu. Though it took time for the permission to come, it neverthless came.
When it was decided that it is going to be Kalicharan that is going to be remade as Sangili, Prabhu had to take up the role that Danny did in the original. As you know the character would die at the end. Close family members were a bit hesitant and checked with CVR, whether that could be changed. Their reasoning was it is his first film and moreover his son Vikram had just been born. NT on coming to know of this was not impressed. For him it is acting. No sentiments on that. If the character has to die, it has to. If you don't want that end, better don't act, was his stand, it seems. Nobody opened their mouth after wards and Prabhu made his debut in Sangili that hit the theatres on 14th April ,1982.
Regards
PS: Karthik, though I don't have the entire filmography, will try to post as much as I know.
Quite interesting to hear this Murali sir.Has Ramkumar acted in any other movies apart from Aruvadai naal ? My Dear maarthaandan comes to my mind as of now. But that was just a guest appearance.
Selva,
As you know he would just show his face in Chandramukhi during Devuda song other than My dear Marthandan and Aruvadai Naal.
He was not interested (For that matter, even Prabhu was like that in the initial phase but later he became focussed). I had asked Ram personally about his and he told me the above reason. But my thinking is, the untimely demise of their uncle VCS had made him to lose whatever little interest he had for grease paint and made him concentrate in admin matters.
Sivaji Productions had just then completed and released Ananda Kanneer on 7th March of 1986. Immediately they started Aruvadai Naal and shooting commenced at Courtalam. But suddenly on March 25th (if my memory serves me right) VCS passed away. That was a huge shock for the family and there was nobody to fill up the void. So, Ram took up the resposibility and Aruvadai Naal became his swan song. Only if VCS had been alive for a longer period, may be just may be we could have seen more of an actor in Ramkumar.
Regards
Karthik,
Let us start from 1982.
1. Sangili - 14.04.1982.
First film. Remake of Kalicharan. Sort of a guest role for Prabhu as he would appear in the second half.
2. Lottery ticket - Aug 14th, 1982
This was again CVR directed film where he did a negative role. Mohan (?) and Suhasini played the lead roles. My remmeberance is his introduction scene would show a NT film poster in the background (En Magan. Irony - it was also directed by CVR).
3. Nalamthaana - Sep 24, 1982
His first role as Hero with Sankarabaranam Rajalakshmi as the heroine. Don't remember much.
4. Kannodu Kan - Oct 1st, 1982.
Here he was not the hero. If I am not off the mark, producer Kottarakara's son was the hero with Sulakshana(?) as the heroine. This is one movie, I missed out.
5. Athisaya Piravigal - 14.11.1982 - Deepavali
This Devar Films movie was the first one to showcase Prabhu as an actor and was well received.
6. Chinnansirusukal - 10th Dec, 1982.
This double hero film (Mohan being the other) along with Sulakshana was a interesting movie with Prabhu donning a rich man's role with conviction.
7. Kozhi Koovuthu - 24th Dec, 1982.
His first Super hit movie. Though Suresh and Viji were the main characters, it was Prabhu and Silk that stole the show. Poove ilaiya Poove was a super duper hit song which also showed that Prabhu can carry song sequences with aplomb.
Let me come back
Regards
Disclaimer: Not sure about certain release dates of the movies mentioned above though the chronological order is correct.
Dear Murali, Karthik, Saradha and friends,
It is nice to see this thread going on uninterrupted. Regarding the filmography for Prabhu, I am working on it and as soon as possible it would be included in our website, nadigarthilagam.com.
It was the film "O Manchu" for which Prabhu was approached after Ramkumar. This film was almost based on Bobby as Murali Sir said. In fact we all felt it was a good decision, after seeing the film. The only saving grace for O Manchu was Mellisai Mannar. The songs were simply great. Other than that this film would have been a miserable debut for Prabhu. The only film we felt Prabhu missed was Saatchi. Had he done it, his films would have even more reached in the nook and corner. And rest every body knows.
Raghavendran.
There was a thread on Prabhu long back

NOV,
Even if that filmography is from 1988 ,many movies(Budget padmanaban ,Vietnam colony ,PaanjalankuRichi etc) are missing . :(
maththavangalum contribute pannanum illaiyaa? :D
Dear Murali sir,
Another great work from you. I think you are the most eligible person to become the heir for Filmnews Anandan.
Joe & Nov - thanks for the filmography.
During the initial period of his career, " Kairasikkaaran " was a big hit for Prabhu. I've seen the film in Roxy theatre which is in Doveton. Though the theatre still exist, they have stopped screening films in it for more than 2 decades.
" Soorakkoattai singakutti " was also another big hit with one of IR's great song "Kaalidasan Kannadasan..."
