Hi all,
This is my first post in this thread though I have posted a few in other threads. I felt very sad that I missed this till now.To make up,
I had been reading this thread in one go and I felt rejunevated.Great inputs from everybody.Being an avid NT fan I wish to contribute(!) something to this thread. Let me start with some trivia and that too some answers for some questions asked in this forum.
Regarding Sivaji-Lakshmi combo, people missed one movie
Unakkaka Naan- 1976 release produced by Balajee.
Somebody had quoted that in 1970, E.Vandhal & Sorgam got released on the same day and both ran for 100 days and had asked whether any other actor had done this?
Buddies, no actor in Tamil cinema had done this and our NT had done this not once but many times.
1.1967- Deepavali- O.V.Oravu & Iru Malargal - both 100 days.
2.1970- Deepavali- E.Vandhal & Sorgam- both 100 days.
Other occasions when two films were released and one among them became a hit was
1.1959- Deepavali - Bhaga Pirivinai- 216 days
Aval Yaar -Not successful
2. 1971- Ap 14th- S.En Sundari- 100 days
Praptham- 50 days.
The only time NT was not sucessful was
1982-Deepavali- Parichaiku Neramatchu & Oorum Uravum.
But the best part was even when he was in the evening of his carreer, he was not afraid to release his 2 films on the same day.The occasion I am referring to is
1987-Aug 27- Jallikatttu- 100 days
Krishnan Vandhan- 50 days.
See it was not a festival day like Deepavali or Pongal. The Tamil cinema had at that time firmly established RK & KH and VK,SR,Prabu and Karthick.But still NT had no hesitation. When the so called BO kings released movies pnce in 6 months or 1 yr, NT was totally different. He proved quality and quantity can co-exist.
Another proof for the above trait was
1959- 2 films-VBKBomman & B.Pirivinai -both 200 days
1961- 3 films- Paava Mannipu,Paasa Malar & Paalum Pazhamum- all silver jubliees(ie)175 Days+. Remember this films ran in all major centres and not as noon show in 250 seater theatre in Chennai.
Unlike present day heroes who are in good in acting but fail in BO, NT was good in both. There is still a lot that can be said on this.
Regards
PS: While talking about Jallikattu, one interesting info is that was the first and last movie of Sivaji which had MGR as the chief guest for the 100th Day celebration. [Dec 5th- 100th day celebration and Dec 24th- MGR passed away]
Welcome to the hub murali :D . Have fun :thumbsup:
There was a sentence in this thread which said Manian(IP) could not believe that Sivaji, the single person is playing all the roles. I too have felt not once or twice but 100 times when I see Deiva Magan, especially the scene when all the three come in the same scene.( I avoided the word meet because the third Sivaji doesn't know about his elder brother and his presence in that room.I think Saradhaa started that famous dialogue but stopped.
The prelude to this scene is appa Sivaji sensing that his elder son is alive goes to meet Major and hands him a blank cheque for his son. initially Major refuses, but Sivaji says that only his son has got the right to reject it.
The next scene Appa Sivaji is sitting in his room. The son comes in.On seeing him Appa gets up slowely.He is seeing the son for the first time.See the father's face, Thigaippu, Santhosam, kutra unarvu all just flash thro' his face.
Then the son asks" Ennai theriyutha? Kannan.Neenga koopidu naan theringikka vendiya perai,naan solli neenga puringikka vendiya nilamai".
Father in an emotion choked voice says "Kanna"
Son " Ethukka intha cheque-i koduthinga"
Father " ellam un ethirkalathirkathan"
Son" Ethir kalam? appa naan ungalai onnu ketkalama?
Father again emotinally " Keluppa"
Son in a pleading voice asks " Oru kudumbathilae Ambilai Pillai Poranthaa athuvum Thalachan Pillaiya Porantha romba Santhosa paduvangalame, Unmaiya"
Father " Amam, Unmaithanppa".
Son's face will immediately turn hard and he will raise his voice" Illa,Poi." Father will have a startled look in his face.
Son's voice now will have anger and sadness " Neengalum ennai mathiri thane porantheenga. Neenga azakai illai inu ungappa ungalai thookiya pottar? Illayae, ennna ungappa oru ezhai,avarukku idhyam irundathu ana engappa periyaa panakkarar avarukku idayam irukka vendiya idathilae irumbu petti than irundathu. Evvaluvu avamanam(sobs) evvalu peru ennai kanda udanae nayyai thruatharthupole ennai adichu viratinangaa. Ithukku padilae ennai neenga konnirukalame"
Unable to bear any more, the father bursts out " athaidhanda naan cheyya sonnen ana andha muttal Raju(Major) athai cheyyama vittutan." Having said that he realises his mistake and says "Kanna intha ulagathilae naan patta kashtam nee padakoodathuinu than ithai ellam chenjan"
At this time the door opens and the elder son goes and stands behind an almirah. The Father regains his composure and sits in his chair.The younger lovely looking second son (NT,41 at that time will look like a 30 year old in this role) will do a cat walk like nadai and start " Daddy"
Father gouravathodu " mmm--"
Vijay(Younger Sivaji's name) in a hushy tone " Panam Venum"
Father loudly " Enna"
Son will have a shirk and the voice will still go down " Koncham Panam venum".
At this moment father will burst out " Panam! Panam! nee ennai pakka varathe panathukkathana"Here Sivaji will convey the agony of a father who expects love from his son but which is not forthcoming
Vijay " No dad, en hotel-ilae"
Father will not allow him to complete and shout " Hotel!Hotel!Damn your hotel. Ellathaiyum izuthu moodu"
Vijay character in an apologetic tone " yes,yes.ellathaiyum close panna than --" he will stop mid sentence as his eyes will focus on the blank cheque lying on the table. His face will turn happy and
" Naan varuvenenu cheque ready-ya vachiruntheegala daddy " and will take the cheque. Father avan eduthira poranae endra bayathil "yei athai edukathae" endru soluvar. Athey samayam avar thirumbi kannan -ai parpaar. Kannnan Sivaji thalaiyai mattum atti eduthu kollatum enbathu pola seyvar. Ithai ondrum gavanikkatha vijay Sivaji avar kariyathilayae kannaga cheque-i ethukondu "thanks dad" endru solli vittu oru flying kiss koduppar.
Appa Sivajiyo oru dharma ankadamana muga bavathudan iruppar
Kannan Sivaji santhosathil almirah-vai kuthuvar.Moondru perumae ore framil ithai seivargal.
Intha scene, they would have taken as a mask shot. Athavathu the film would be divided into 3 parts, they would have picturised Vijay Sivaji blowing a FK(at that time the other 2 portions would have been covered with the black pad), then Kannan Sivaji reacting with the kuthu (now the 1st and 3rd portion would be covered) and then the appa Sivaji's reaction would have been picturised
See our NT had to perform all the three times showing 3 different emotions and at three different times. Not only acting talent but you require a clear idea about the camera work and speed and more than that timing. It has to synchronise. If kannan character does his part earlier than Vijay character, the scene is gone. See how exceptionally well he has done that. Now coming back to the scene ,Kannan will come out and say in all happiness" Paarthingala Appa yaarukku poyi cheranamo, avanukku cherthirichu. Enppa unga asthikkum asaikkum irukkarae ore magan thambi, avanai enppa satham podareenga" Udanae Appa Sivaji oru athangathoda
" ore payyan,ore payyan inu romba chellam koduthu valathithuta avangamma" stopping suddenly realising his mistake solvar" ungamma. Avan cherkai sariillainu kelvipattan
Serakoodathavangalodu sernthu avan pathai maari poyiduvanonu bayama irrukku " Immediately Kannan Sivaji will say " Thambikku entha abathum varamae naan pathukiran.en uyire koduthavathu thambiyai kappathuven"
After assuring his father Kannan Sivaji thanake urithanae style-il idathu kalai lesaga valaithu idathu kaiyai mattum uyarthi " varen" endru sollivittu povar.
God.I have seen this film 10 times in theatre, 100 times this scene in TV,but while watching all those times I have always felt that all the three are different persons.Appa mela kopam and sankatam varum.Kannan mel parivu and anbu,Vijayay romba rasithu santhosam thonum.
What an acting! To borrow the great poet's words,
Here was an actor ! When comes another?

Excellent recap of Deiva magan... everyone had their own favourite NT in this movie !
You know, even the director ACT felt somewhat different ( he explained / exclaimed once )
ACT says .....
When NT is about the play this terrific scene which you explained.... as NT has to take up character by character, ACT felt as if the character himself is walking right in front of him !
When ACT saw Shivaji, one shot he could realise that he is going to play the role of that Father ...followed by the first son and finally the second son....
The body language of NT was changing at rapid pace inbetween shots....and it was astounding sight for ACT .....
Indeed its one of the best scenes played by NT
My favourite in this scene was the Father character as he will be fretting and fuming and feel humbled in front of his first son......unable to control his anger / emotions....
great to see your extensive posting...keep it up friend
Dear S.B.
Thanks a lot. Let us all build a " web " castle for our one and only NT.
Regards
PS: I also remember having read ACT's interview you had mentioned.

Actually Raghu is working on this and the idea has just conceived.
I wish we all join together and create a website for Nadigar thilagam
Mr. Mohan ram I request you to provide all valuable inputs and advise to build the site
