Worst period 1978-1981???
Hamid - adhu due to personal issues. Latha, Ramavaram thottam, hospital, overwork, stress, breakdown. You connect the dots. Films-wise, my personal view is two distinct poor periods: after padikkadhavan, steady deterioration until thalabadhy. Post annaamalai, steady deterioration.
Okay..
Padikkathavan to Thalapathi.. hmm.. have to check this filmography. Guru Sishyan ellam athukku munnadiya?
After Annamalai... steady detoriation???? Plum.. :x hmm.. still I cant resist.. How about Enthiran? zimbly waste in your opinion?
keen to know what was going around in the media in that period... wat were the speculations, etc.,
for sure there shd be some newspaper/magazine extracts collected by someone..
nalla velai, there was no media exposure in those days like the one we hav now...
tthaa.. saavadichiruppaanunga.
unamithaan SS.. but Rajini would have come back stronger... The close people around him (who influenced him to come back) would have done the same and Rajini would also have responded the same way :)..Quote:

And in the first period, exceptions like Guru Sishyan exist. Just that that period marks my migration to the other camp. Andha pakam Nayagan, Pushpak, Salangai Oli, Appoorva, MMKR. Indha pakkam Manidhan, Maappillai, Oor Kaavalan etc. Do the math.
Enakku vivaram therinju, mannan appuram thaan, rajni real super star...
Athukku munnadi, summa paerukku thaan super star...
i think 1986 lerndhu, rajni ye super star nu title a poduvaanga...
Bt Mannan appuram thaan ela padamum BB except baba...
Yes, an excellent Film with great acting from Rajni and Saritha. Ennada pollatha vazhkai by SPB esp the line "ithukupOi alatikilama " :thumbsup:Quote:

Thanks for the clarifications Grouch..
Maybe Plum got the period wrongly and attached that to the personal issues too.. when did the movies listed by him(Manidhan ( [just love rajini in this movie...He was dashing and performace was good though the villanic scenes are stupid.. ], Maappillai, Oor Kaavalan ) got released? what are the movies which got released durign that period?
What did I attach personal with those movies I mentioned? Personal issues 78-81. Those movies I talked about were later when personally he was in good shape after marriage.. When did I mix up the two? You probably mixed it up in your mind.
Oh you don't know when maappillai et al were all released? Sorry I I didn't realise that. I thought it was pretty obvious from my comment that they were during nayagan, pushpak, mmkr etc - meaning 1985-90
Hamid, Plum and I differ in our preferences those days, sort of opposite camp.
Me: 1983 to somewhere mid90s, hc Kamal fan, accepting Rajini late 80s. While Plum was hc Rajini fans, and towards late 80s totally jumped the ship. Must have been an easy jump because I had one leg on Rajini's boat that time :razz:
Of course, we have since settled down and became NT fan instead. Its like rockers who when they get old, go back to basic and start to play blues.
Yes.. you are right.. when I read the thread again it is clear and it was clear y'day also.. somehow toady morning I misinterpreted Grouch's post as a response to you and thought otherwise.. my baed... :(Quote:

(though still my parents used to say i started punching them while watching Kakki Sattai and they bought that casette for that.. )
then garadully started respecting Kamal and always had high regards for him..but he comes only after Rajini for me...
Toongathe Thambi Toongathe (all the wrong reason to become his fan), I was ten years old. Athukku munnadi, just like-like, as my dad has brainwashed me into becoming MGR fan first. Palikku pali, pulikku puli. I am going to brainwash my son into becoming NT fan. But too young fer now.
Back then considering all of us were Kamal fans, there were liberal dosage of Rajini trashing at home, except for my mother. But how times changed. Brothers are also Rajini fans now. Mom, hardcore. Father too has become Rajini fan (Baasha, overnight), and totally did an underbalti and now commenting on Kamal's dance :argh:. he is still MGR fan, athu onniyum panna mudiyAthu.
comedy nalla dhaane irukkum, i can still watch it whenever they put on tv... sendhamarai laam romba bit potturupaar, still movie is watchable..Quote:

My father isnt watching movies these days and was not a fan of anyone any more.. But he started to acknowledge Rajini is also good aftter Thalapathi.. still remember the disbelief at home when he said he watched Thalapathi in a theater in Chennai.. of course he went as he had time for his train.. but still it was like a victory for me when he said, his acting was not that bad...
hmm. enakku pidikkathu. try panniyum pidikkatha padam athu.. of course next to Pandiyan..Quote:
