Prabhu Ganesan - Charismatic, Affable and Underrated.

[tscii]Few lines about Prabhu's performance from " The Hindu" sreview Thambikku entha ooru.

The saving graces of Thambikku …are just a few – Prabhu's performance.........


...Is it sorrow that makes Prabhu sport the flowing, odd black garb almost throughout? The costume appears too alien — yet whatever the limitations, his enactment has always been commendable. Thambikku …isn't an exception.




குணசித்திர பாத்திரஙளையும் திறமையாக செய்து பாராட்டு பெற்று விடுகிறார் பிரபு. குறிப்பாக ஹிந்து நாளிதழின் சமீக கால திரைப்பட விமரிசனங்ளில் பிரபுவின் நடிப்பு குறித்து தவறாமல் குறிப்பிடப்படுகிறது - படத்தின் ஒட்டு மொத்த விமரிசனம் Negative ஆக இருக்கிற போதும்.

In a way 1986 proved to be the turning point in Prabhu's career. For someone who was accused of being in the shadow of his father, this man proved that he has got a repertoire of his own. He came out of the self imposed shackles and started out from scratch.



முற்றிலும் சரி. புதிய இயக்குனர்கள், பொருத்தமான கதாபாத்திரங்கள் என்று பிரபுவின் இந்த அவதாரத்க்கு நல்ல வரவேற்பு கிட்டத் துவங்கியது.

Welcome, Mahesh K. Hope to see more posts here, thanks for the above. :D

வருக வருக திரு மகேஷ் அவர்களே. நண்பர் சுவாமி உங்களைப் பற்றி சொல்லியிருக்கிறார். வெகு நாட்களாக silent reader-ஆக இருந்த நீங்கள் இப்போது திரியில் ஒரு பங்களிப்பவராக வந்திருப்பது மகிழ்ச்சி.

Rakesh,

Mahesh is what you were like. An ardent Prabhu Fan who also has a liking for NT.

Regards

Thannks Murali sir.

I am always a Sivaji fan since childhood days and will remain as one for ever. We ( myself and like minded friends ) equally love Prabhu . My affection for Prabhu started exactly on 22nd December 1982 , when my 8th std half yearly exam was over & my classmates wanted go for a movie. I proposed NT movie "Nenjagal", but my classmates preferred Athisaya piravikal ( Devar films movie ). I reluctantly went with them, but was very surprised to see the audience response for Prabhu's introductory scene - thunderous applause and whistle. At that point of time, such a response, that too on a Wednesday matinee show, would be there only for MGR & NT. Again after few days Kozhi koovuthu was released in a theatre very close to my house & the opening crowd throughout first week was extraordinary. This again surprised me a lot. So this surprise element coupled with Prabhu's on-screen mannerisms -which obviously would resemble NT many times - made me a Prabhu fan. During discussions with other friends ( i.e Kamal , Rajini fans) we were more comfortable in comparing Prabhu movies with the then emerging superstars , rather than dragging NT in to the discussion. This is how we were known to be more of Prabhu fans.

As you mentioned , I regularly read NT thread and enjoy the contributions of you, groucho070, joe, Pammalar, Ragavendran sir ,sarada madam and many others. I haven't contributed due to 'difficulty in typing Tamil' ( read laziness).

I request you to continue writing about Prabhu movies for the remaining years from where you have left. Thanks

Mr. Paramashivan, My comments were about MYSELF - about how I got attracted towards Prabhu. I haven't talked about any general rule . You have posted comments based on your assumptions, which I did not mean.
