Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan

Alwarpet,

Good start…. Keep it up…. I worship the great Shivaji……. Countless numbers of great movies….

SHIVAJI IS THE UNIVERSITY FOR ACTING

I will chose Gnana Oli…

From an ordinary uneducated Church worker, he will undergo various changes in life… like his loved wife will pass away at his young age… will be left with his baby daughter to groom… Will try to imbibe basic discipline but Saradha will get lost with Srikanth… Shivaji will get wild and will accidentally kill Srikanth…. ( also had his best school day friend as his main foe Major… as Inspector ) … His fondness and affection towards the Church Father…. Giving a pledge to the Father that someday, he will make the Village and Church develop and will do his best…
After his daughter’s unfortunate development, his life will focus towards developing the village… will escape from the scene and will resurface as Koteeshwarar Arun….. and meets his daughter ( this time being well taken care by a Hindu Doctor VKR )… all the family melodrama … .the interesting cold war and the challenges posed by Major and how he counters them…. In between venting his frustration … through that song… Devanay ennai paarungal……
Finally get trapped at the time of his Grand daughter’s wedding….. Only to realize that this was his good Friend Major’s tactics to expose the truth….
All ends well with Major and Shivaji joyfully exchanging some pleasantries and sharing a joke WHILE GOING IN POLICE JEEP….

Oops.. this movie shows the various stages of an ordinary man who undergoes sufferings and sorrows and takes life as a challenge and how he comes out trumps….


Great work by Shivaji… THE UNIVERSITY OF ACTING….

yesterday i watched "bale pandiya' for the first time.its a complete laugh riot.wow what a variety the legend has shown in nhis acting.the scientist charatcter is the best part-his getsures,mannerisms,style and the way he talks.something very different.
well he is a dictionary in acting.he truly is. its very sad that the legend missed out doing periyar charatcetr which he was very desperate to do

balE pANdiA is a funny movie, karthik!

Shivaji has done three roles so casually!:thumbsup:

I remember the "rowdy shivaji" (PaaNdian) has a mannerism of some sort when he is folding his "lungi". He does it so "stylishly"! :thumbsup:

the "maama-maapiLLai song" with "maaveeran" "nadiyavEL M R Radha is hilarious indeed! :)

here is one my favorite diaalogues of "nadigar thilagam" in "gauravam"!

hey chellA!

"neeyum pattuppudavai kattiNdA paththu varusham youngAthAndi aayidaRa" 8)

innoruththan poRanthuthaan varanum! :thumbsup:

When it comes to rendition of chaste classical Thamizh, none can hold a candle to Sivaji. His thundering timeless performance in Thiruvilayadal, especially in the dharumi episode is goose-pimple stuff.
To pick one scene, the showdown between Nakkeeran and Sivaperuman is unforgettable......

Stranger,

There is another casual dialogue which I enjoy even today....

Senior SHivaji will enquire the Junior...

ENDAAA , ENDHA CASAI PATREE MYLAPORE PAKKAM ENNA PESARAAA !! This dialogue was created by Vietnam Veedu Sundaram in admiration of Mylapore vasees !!

Besides, the song Neeyum naanumaaa... I love the Senior Shivaji dressed up like a Roman Emperor standing majestically.... and giving frightening looks as the Junior advances close to him.. in the giant chess board... The chess board scene was a nice imagination....

Yes yes it was unique and also the way Shivaji used to smoke with bedee !!

There is another scene which I enjoyed... The song Neeyay enakku endrum nigaraanavan... Shivaji will express his dharuma sangadam when MRR makes his tantrums... It was virtually a competition between two giants ... MRR and Shivaji both equal to the task.....

The way they exchange ... Mama and Maaplay.... Hilarious ...

Sure, nadigavEL MR Radha is heck of an actor!

His dialogs are thought-provoking! He had the guts to challenge anybody! :thumbsup:

----------------

Let us get back to nadigar thilagam!

Here is a dialogue from "drunkard chinnadurai" from the evergreen "vasantha maaLigai"!

He will save vaaNishree from the misbehaving manager "Ramdoss" and say:

Bloody fool!

"vENdaamnA vilaimaathaa irunthaalum thodapdaathu"!

athaan namma principle!

There aren't many movies in which 'Shivaji' has played villain, but of the few, one that remains in my mind is 'Uththama Puththiran'. One can write pages on the 'Vikraman' character, but here's just a sample:

--------
Nambiar and 'Shivaji' encounter Padmini and 'Shivaji' is enthralled by her beauty. On their return to the palace, 'Shivaji' waxes eloquent on her beauty..
Shivaji: ..veenayin nadhamum mogana geethamum aval kuralile olikka kanden..
(Nambiar interferes)
Nambiar: Vikrama.. Unnidam oru mukkiyamana vishayam pesa vendum.
('Shivaji' immediately frowns..)
Shivaji: edhai patriyo..?!
Nambiar: ippodhu nee parththa pennai patri
('Shivaji''s face brightens up immediately)
Shivaji: mangalakaramana vishayam. udane pesuvome..
----------
The sudden changes in 'Shivaji''s facial expression still stays in my mind. Of course Sridhar's screenplay and dialogues raise the movie to a higher plane which today's films regretfully cant even match.

Kannann, Welcome to the hub....

In PUTHIYA PARAVAI, after narrating the whole killing of Sowcar Janaki to all the ppl, he'll say..."Ivlothaan nadanthathu. Oru adi, Orey adi"...And then he'll blow his nose...That was just a mix of serious acting blended with humor...SHIVAJI rocks !!!
