Comedy is a serious business. Sivaji is as good in comedy role as in other character roles. Let us all discuss about his full-length comedy movies.
I can list some of them here:
1. Kalyanam Panniym Brahmachari - with TR Ramachandran
2. Sabhash Meena - with Chandra Babu
3. Arivaali - with Thanga Velu
4. Bale Pandya - with MR Radha
5. Galatta Kalyanam - with Nagesh
6. Anjal Petti 520 - again with Nagesh and Thengai Seenivasan??
Lots of others......
With this list, you can see Sivaji has acted with almost all major Comedians at the time. Still, he gave an outstanding performance and very versatile!
I am not including Deiva Magan in this list, but his comedy (younger sivaji) with Nagesh is outstanding and hilarious.
Let us discuss more on this.
Add some more to the list:Quote:

Arivali
was based on the drama 'Taming of the shrew' by shakespeare :grin:. I am sure everybody knows. Bhanumathi, also known for her humour and sarcasm paired with shivaji to make it a TREAT.
WONDERFUL MUST-WATCH movie.
tacinema and Sarooojiii,
In the comedy movies list pls add the movie SELVAM...also.... SVRangarao at his best......though theme was serious the movie was all fun...
Sarooojiii,
WHen I mentioned about the movie SELVAM...I know that you are going to celebrate with joy about the name....for various reasons...!!
Bye
I watched Bandham, what a movie that made me cry :cry: . Shalini in the film dies, :cry:
Justice....
You should also see the movie.... ANBULLA APPA....
Nadigar thilagam with the beautiful.... Nadhiya....
Great exhibition of father daughter love and affection.....
THis movie will totally focus on two characters ...that of Shivaji and Nadhiya and rest were all just supporting characters...
Shivaji at his best.....even in the evening of his great career..
of course, I'd watch it.
Bandham, still in my eyes, what a movie.
the song yaanai kathai cannot be explained with poor words
Sivaji and Shalini's acting, WOW
throughout the movie, both of them keep us alive, and when Shalini dies, we are down. wonder how she acted that well, but acting alongside sivaji will set the fire 8-)

Whenever I want to write about a great song, my mind automatically jump to 'Nadigar Thilagam' Shivaji's songs. The one I selected now, definitely will be a favourite of most of the Tamil cinema fans.
The song "AmmammA thambi endru nambi" has two versions, one in the beginning of the movie, when Rangadurai and his brother and sister are small boys, and it was written as a patriotic song. The second one (which we are going to discuss now) is mingled with the personal life of Rangadurai. Indha pAdalil(vazhakkam pola) Kannadasan, MSV, TMS, Shivaji... ellOrum neeyA nAnA pArkkalAm endRu pOtti pOduvArgaL. AdhanAl nammakku innum oru virundhu.
This story has a heavy storylined subject, telling the struggling for day-to-day life of a Drama Artist Rangadurai. (adikkadi thiraiyil pArkAtha vidhyAsamAna story). Oru pakkam ChellamAga valarththa thannudaiya thambi (Sreekanth) thAnAgavE oru panakkAra pennai maNandhu kondu nirandharamAga pirindhu pOi vitta sOgam. Innoru pakkam chellamAga vaLarththa thangai (Jaya), thannudaiya maamiyAr (C.K.Saraswathi) matRum kaNavanAl (Sasikumar) veettai vittu viratti adikkappatta vEdhanai.
Indha nEraththilthAn innoru idiyAga, thangaiyin kanavanukku innoru pennai thirumanam seyya iruppathAga aRindhu Rangadurai (Shivaji) maNam udinadhu pOvAr (through an invitation from brides father, who is already a friend for Rangadurai, but does not know that groom already got married with Shivaji's sister). Shivaji will torn that invitation and throw. But, without his notice, his sister Seetha (Jaya) will collect and join them and get shocked to know her husband is going for second marriage. She tell his brother:
"AnnA...enakku orE oru AsaithAn annA. Chinna annanai pArkka AsaiyA irukku. azhaichikittu vAngannA".
When he was waiting in T.K.Bagavathy's (brother's mAmanAr) house, His brother (Sreekanth) and his modern wife (Kumari padmini) come from Table-Tennis court. On seeing his brother, Rangadurai expects one of these question:
"AnnA...neengaLA..eppa vandheenga?" (with affection)
(or)
"AnnA... ingE yEn vandheenga?" (with anger).
But Sreekanth asks
"YAr Neenga?". Thambiyin indha kELviyil Shivaji appadiyE noRungi pOvAr.
When he decided to leave from there, Sreekanth's father-in-law T.K.Bagavathy, knowing he is a drama actor, compells him to sing a song for him. Shivaji will take the two Table Tennis rackets from the teapoy, using as 'thALam' and start his song, with old pallavi, which he sang with his brother and sister for begging in the train.
"AmmammA thambi endRu nambi avan unnai vaLarthAn
thAi endRum thandhai endRum thanni ninaithAn
avan unakkAga vAzhndha uLLam allavo"
each word in the thogaiyarA will be a power packed one, describing his previous and present life of Rangadurai.
"Kaiyil vaiththu kAthirundhAl kAladiyil kAthirukkum
nandRi mikka nAigaL uLLa nAdu
idhil sondhamindRi bandhamindRi, vandha vazhi ninaivumindRi
piLLaigaLum piRandhirukkum veedu"
then he put thALam with the table tennis racket... wow what a natural (pAvi mavanE, engayyA kathikittE idhellAm), then continue the charanam:
"Rama nAdagathil moondRu thambigaLin uLLam kandEnE
nalla BhArathathil nAlu thambigaLai nAnum kandEnE
adhu nAdagamA....idhu nAdagamA...
ingu nAn kAnum vEshangaL konjamallavE
nAn idhu pondRa vEshathil vandhathillaiyE"
In next charanam, he will narrate the story about her sister who came back from her husband, permenantly.
"thangai ennum iLaiya kandRu thAi veedu vandhadhendRu
ennudaiya nAdagathil kAtchi
avaL koNdavanai pirindhu vandhu kOlam kondu niRpadhanai
kaNdadhaRku innoruvan sAtchi"
Again thALam with tennis bat, with very closeup in three differetn angle.
"kaNNil neer peruga seethai nindRa nilai kannil therigiRathu
aNNan koNda thuyar thambi latchumanan nenjil vizhugirathu
adhu pAsamanRO... idhu vEshamndRO....
avan rAjAthi rAjanukku piLLai allavO
indha rAjapArt rangadurai yEzhai allavo"
adhu eppadi, verum paththu varigaLukkuL andha situation muzhuvathaiyum, adhuvum purAna idhigAsa mErkOLgaLudan, indha KannadAsan kondu vandhAr...?. Thatswhy still we are talking about him, and life long........
It is just an indoor song, that too Shivaji acts by just sitting in the sofa. But Camera will roll in various angles with crane shots. Sreekanth will stand on top of the stairs, Kumari Padmini will stand in one corner. Bagavathy sitting opposite to Shivaji. Camera covers all. In the meantime too much close-up shots for Shivaji. P.Madhavan and P.N.Sundaram shooted with perfect lighting and super close-ups. (No surprise, both of them moulded by the great Sreedhar).
After shivaji left from there, Bagavathy will tell "Idhu Rangadurai vAzhkaiyil nadandha kathaiyO allathu nadandhukittu irukkiRa kadhaiyO, andha AndavanukkuthAn theriyum".
One of the memorable songs, evergreen and worthwatching.
Karthik,
there is another wonderful song in Rajapaat Rangadurai.... Madana maligayil, Mandira.....A great treat to watch his performance
tacinema....
madhana maaligayil.... yes .... is a lovely song....which will come as a big relief in that movie.... as ...otherwise....the entire movie will be full of challenges for a nadaga kalaignar.......rajapart........
MSV explained once about this song......
The tune was liked by an office boy who supplied tea to MSV and while MSV was composing the tune.... the boy came in and he pointed out to MSV that this tune is nice....
and MSV further finetuned it....with improvisation....like...when TMS sings madhana maaligai.... PS will continue with...Madhana maaligayil....
Then TMS....mandhira maalaigalaa... followed by PS.... mandhira maalaigalaa....
and it goes on.......
I think its a dream song for Shivaji with Usha Nandini...
Dear Karthik, superb writing about the song "Ammammaa thamni endru nambi". It is one of the very hit song and evergreen even now to hear and to watch.
After the song finished, Shivaji will return home, without showing his sadness to his sister Jaya (an actress with childish face and innocent smile). She will ask :"Annaa, chinna annan varalaiyaa?"
Shivaji will reply with happy mood (but sad in heart): "Adhai yemmaa ketkire... ennai paarththadhum odi vandhu ennai kattikittu 'annaa eppadi irukeenga, thangachi eppadi irukkaa, anni eppadi irukkaanga' appadeennu paasaththai kottinaan. Andha neram paarththu avanudaiya maamanaar vandhu business vishayamaa velinaadu poganumnu sollittaar. Unmaiyil thambikku velinaadu poga ishtam illai. Ungalaiyellaam paarkanumnuthaan aasai. Naanthaan paraviylle, poyittu vaapaa. Thangachiyaiyum anniyaiyum appuram paarthukkalaamnu solli anuppitten" (then casualaaga Jayavidam) "ammaadi konjam coffee kondu vaa"
After jaya left from there, Usha Nandhini will aks Shivaji: "Yenga, unga thmabi ungalai romba avamaana paduthittaaraa?. Unga kannileye theriyuthey".
Suddenly Shivaji's face will turn with sad expression: "Avamaana paduthiyindhaa kooda naan thaangikittu iruppen Alamelu. Aanaa avan ennai yaarunne theriyaatha maadhiri nadichittaan Alamelu" closing his mouth with the towel and cry.
(Andha manidharudaiya padangalai paarkumbothu thaan endru illai, avarai patri ezhuthumbothu kooda kanneer varugirathu. Ayyo, andha 2001 July 21, vandhirukkavey vendaam).
Saradhaa,
Great. Beautiful narration. You have an awesome collection of Sivaji movies, dialogue by dialogue. Sivaji looks very handsome in Madana maaligail song. Another song I like is "ponmagal vanthal" from Sorgam.. he looks great in that song.
When it comes to perfection…..or someone to be certified as a PERFECTIONIST…it should be none other than Nadigar Thilagam only…..( the other one who comes closer could be Ulaga naayagan Kamal )
Countless number of roles that Shivaji had played ….were all with perfection…but somehow I am fascinated since my school days…by seeing the role of a Doctor in Paalum Pazamum…. There are several traits that a Doctor normally possess….absolute professionalism, warmth, kind heartedness….gentle…..mild approach…..
Shivaji exhibited all the traits of a Doctor in this movie….
Like …going for morning rounds along with nurse and fellow staff….having a courtesy chat with the patients….casually browsing the chart of every patient and giving instructions to the Doctors who follow him….
Or for that matter….showing utmost respect for the Senior Doctor ( Nagaiyah the veteran ) while talking to him…..
Or for that matter while coming across Sarojadevi for the first time… showing a gentle surprise reaction and appreciation for her timely support and quick understanding of an issue….
Or for that matter …even in the beginning of the movie…when SV Subbaiah and Balaiyah ( who will bring him up in life….the movie will briefly touch Shivaji as somewhat an orphan but was nurtured by Subbaih’s family ) and for all the praises heaped on him..Shivaji will respond well by saying that its all due to the care they had taken to guide him…that he has reached this level in life… etc etc..
Or for that matter the love and affection that he pours on his brother Prem Nazir ( absolutely handsome personality …someone who can really compete with Kamal …after Ajit could be Prem Nazir…endrum ilamai…. )
Even while talking to a typical M.R.Radha character in this movie….Shivaji will display the same mild mannered approach…..except during the final scenes….when he has to burst out with frustration…and while singing Ponaal pogattum podaa….. ( why not…when someone loses his wife….all emotions will have to come out and noone is an exception to this )
I am quite fascinated by the gentleness shown by Nadigar thilagam…for the song…NAAN PESA NINAIPADHELLAM NEE PESA VENDUM……
Time and again….it was the MOST FORMIDABLE COMBINATION OF …….SHIVAJI , SAROJADEVI, KAVIGNAR, TMS, SUSHEELA, MELLISAI MANNARGAL…MSV WITH TKR, AND THE ONE AND ONLY BHEEMSINGH….
The song will come soon after they get married ….. Starts with a beautiful tabla ….followed by the famous duo’s customary Violin support, flute….. and then…PS Amma starts with Naan pesa ninapadhelaam nee pesa vendum…..Shivaji will look absolutely majestic with a cap…. And half shirt ( will also look a bit bulky ?? ) while Saro will be in a lovely saree …
….. another beauty of this song is that TMS just sang the words…. NAAN KAANUM ULAGANGAL NEE KAANA VENDUM…. NEE KAANUN POZUDHAAVUM NAAN AAGA VENDUM…NAAN AAGA VENDUM….. after this , for every end of a sentence..TMS will support by saying Oom Oom…and it will be a lovely support…flow for the song to maintain the continuity…. It will be like Shivaji saying yes yes to all Saro sings…..
Lets go through the words in depth …so that we will realize the beauty of this eternal melody….and evergreen hit…
Paalodum pazam yaavum unakaaga vendum…unakaaga vendum….
Paavai un mugam paarthu pasiyaara vendum …pasiyaara vendum ( here PS Amma will show her experience and class when she stretches the words )
Manadhaalum ninaivaalum thaayaaga vendum….naan aaga vendum…
Madi meedhu vilayaadum seyaaga vendum…neeyaaga vendum….
Sollendrum moziyendrum porulendrum….illai…porul endrum illai….
Solaadha sollukku vilai yedhum illai villai yedhum illai….
Ondrodu onraaga uyir serndha pinnay uyri serndha pinnay…..
Ulagangal namaiyandri veraydhum illai… veryadhum… illai…..
For every shot by shot while Sarojadevi will be singing with full of grace…Shivaji will exhibit his DOCTOR’s class… by reacting with all gentleness…
At one shot , he will casually throw the saree on the face of Saro and will cover her…..and even that will look terrific….to show that fondness and affection that they share…the mutual love and the respect for each other…admiring each other….
Idhai vida menmayaaga oru kanavan manaivikkul irukkum oru sondham, bandham oru kaadhalai veru yaarum azagaaga kaata mudiyaadhu…..
Idhu ennudaya thaazmayaana karuthu…..
Nadigar thilagam…thanudaya kangalaalay….. thannudadya anbai pozivaar…..will give 100 expressions….just by giving a warm and gentle and kind hearted look…..
Even today, if one sees this movie after 10 times ( I wonder how many times…Shivaji fans would have seen this movie….it could be 50 or 75 or 100 times )….one will not feel bored …as it will be full of lovely lovely songs, nice screen play…wonderful set of actors….lovely direction……
Bheemsingh..should be appreciated for having shown Nadigar thilagam… in various characters and was the karta of the famous Paa series….. Paalum pazamum, Padikaatha medhai, Paarthaal pasi theerum, Paasa malar, Paar magalay paar, Padithaal mattum podhumaa …etc etc……
Coming back to the movie…. Its not that this is the only song which is a beauty….. every song is all class and one can write a posting for each other song..as they are all precious gems……
What an amazing actor…Nadigar thilagam is……..He virtually lived like that character…..
KAALATHAAL AZIYAADHA ORU PAADAL…ORU PADAM
No No Balaji anNe, i strongly disagree with you, Dr.Shivaji sir, lived like character in ALL of his films.Quote:

No doubt about that....
S.Balaji,
ur post is equally capturing.
Romba anubavithu ezhuthirukkeenga. :smile:
Excellent narration. a perfect combination of a.bhimsingh and sivaji. All "paa" series movies are evergreen and mile stones of tamil cinema. Though all these movies are family sentiment related, these movies would leave a lasting impact within you.
PAA movies brought out Sivaji's versatiity:
paalum pazamum - as a Dr, express love relationship between wife and husband.
paava manippu - excellent movie, with evergreen songs, expresses unity among different religions.
paasa malar - great acting from Nadigar and Nadigayar thilakams, bench mark movie for brother-sister relationship
bhaga pirivinai - as a handicap person, a minute reflection of acting. I believe, Hindi actor Dilip Kumar has agreed that he cannot act like our sivaji
Padithaal mattum podhumaa - a fantastic movie, as an illiterate person, marrying a literate woman and going thru nightmares
padikkatha medhai - a wonderful movie, though a bit over-acting!?literally acting competition between two giants: sivaji and ranga rao.
and so on.......
In fact, Sivaji once said that A.Bhim Singh is one of the directors who brought out his talents on screen. No matter how many times you watch these movies, they never bore you. Sivaji gel with these characters perfectly and literally lives with it.
Long live Sivaji's legendary name!! Though he is no more, his different characters onscreen will live forever.
Some more "Pa" series movies by Shivaji & Bhimsingh combination:Quote:

Another movie "Pattadhaari" was started, but dropped in half way because of some undisclosed reasons between pruducer and director.
Two movies by Shivaji & Bhimsingh combo, without "Pa" are 'Raja Rani' and 'Shanti'.
For everything, there should be a 'dhirushti-pottu'. Yes, in Sivaji & Bhimsingh combination also there is one. That is "Paadhugaappu" (1970).
"RAMAN ETHTHANAI RAMANADI"
One of my most favourite movies of the great Nadigar Thilagam, challenging, nobody can do that innocence charector of a unmatured village guy, who is thinking his friends (small boys) and her Aaya (S.N.Lakshmi) only the world.
Whenever Shivai is affected by 'FITS' (Kaakaavalippu), his action will make us to cry. Ho... what a wonderful performance in 'kaakaavalippu'. He will be affected four times in that movie.
First, when was near the pond when 'valippu' come for him and fall in the pond, K.V.Vijaya will save him by giving his Key bunch. That is the first meeting with KRV. (When KRV lift her head when going up the steps of the pond, the jasmine flowers will fall there and Shivaji will take it and keep it with a bakthi).
Second time, When Nambiar beat him with savukku and throw him out of his bangalow, fits will come for him, Nambiar will not allow his servant to help Shivaji. He will reduce the fits by catching the iron gate of the banglow.
Third tims fits will come when he got emotional in the cinema shooting of "Chathrapathy Shivaji".
Fourth time, when fighting with the boy friend of M.Banumathy, who tries to rape her in a party. M.Banumathy is the daughter of KRV & Muthuraman.
In the first time, the way innocently Shivaji spreaking with 'Minor" Nambiar will be more touchable. "Unga thangachikku neenga kalyaanam yerpaadu pandrathaa, payaluva (boys) sonnaanuvo. Adhu vishayamaa pesittu pogalaamnu vandhen. Gnyayitru kizhamaithaan (sunday) pallikoodam leavunnu payaluva sonnaanuva. annikke kalyaanam vachikkalaam... enna solreenga".
But the second time when he meet Nambiar , as a rich actor, the way of talking will be entirely changed. It will be more interesting when Nambiar introduce his other rich friends... Sentaamarai etc.
Nambiar: "Ivarthaan alliyoor Malliyappan. Ivarukku periya paal pannaiye irukku"
Shivaji: "Delli yerumai"
Nambiar: "Ivarthaan Singambatti Chinnappar. Ivar oorla ivarukku vadakkey paarthaa vaazha thoppu, therke paarthaa thennandhoopu, merke paarthaa...."
Shivaji: "Maandhoppu"
Nambiar: "Ivarthaan muthupandal Muruganandham. Ivarudaiya thozhil...."
Shivaji: "Vaira viyaabaaram"
Nambiar: "Oh....ivangalaiyellaam ungalukku munneye theriyuma?."
Shivaji: "Ivangalai enakku therivathu irukkattum minor, ennai yaarunnu ungalukku theriyuthaa?. theriyalai?...theriyalai..?, nallllaa yosanai pannu. unnaal adithu virattappatta adhey 'saappaattu Raman'. Latchathipathiyaa vandhaal un thangachiyai kalyaanam panni tharennu sonniye, idho...ippa kodeeswaranaa vandhirukken. Engey un thangachi?"
Nambiar: "Mannichidunga... ippa naaney virumbinaa kooda avalai ungalukku kalyaanam panni thara mudiyaathu"
Shivaji: "Yen....?"
Nambiar: " Avalukku yerkenave kalyaanam aagi, purushan veettukku poyittaaal"..

You will come across some interesting analysis of old songs....and of late they are covering Nadigar thilagam songs...
Bye
Can somebody please try to post the full filmography of Sivaji yearwise? I heard he had acted in 300+ films. How many of them are Tamil films in leading roles? I think Mudhal Mariyadhai (1985) was his last Tamil film as a hero?
:P
I found one in
imbb website.
but even that DOES NOT talk about his entire filmography :cry:
it is very sad to c the GREATEST ACTOR THAT INDIA HAD ever produced NOT have any fan clubs or dedicated web site :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Information will flow from all corners.....
All the best....
please raghu. DO IT. Any dounbts u can ask ppl to provide info. I am no wiz though, I can promise help to minutest extent I can.
Balaji anNe and Shakthi acca,
yes, I am thinking of doing it during Christmas vaccation!
:D
Some die-hard Sivaji fans do meet up at Shanti theatre, Mount Road...
there used to be a web site www.sivaji-prabhu.org, but it is not existing now. Sivaji Arakattalai maintained that web site.
tacinema
I tried that site too. Its quiet about achievements of shivaji to the due extent.
when i visited chennai long time back, at shanti theatre, I saw a big black board with shivaji's film list, with good details. Is this board still there?
Go through this web site: http://www.mayermint.com/MayermintSh...e/DrSivaji.asp
Mayer Mint in Germany (largest in Europe) has released two gold medallions. It praises Sivaji Ganesan as one of the world's greatest actors and one of the most dominating figures in Indian cinema. Another proof that our greatest actor was always recognised internationally, not in India.

Dont worry, we are here to provide maximum informations about his filmography, acheivements and other worthful collections about the great actor.
