Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan - Part 4

The mock trial scene is an evidence of great scriptwriting. Am not sure the credit should go to the original writer (of the Sendhamarai drama).

As the films earlier voice over says, to some the courtroom is like a game court. You see that here, Rajinikanth being just like any other sports player, doing rehearsal with clear arrogance of knowing that he is going to win. And mock or not mock, he demands respect. And scene is funny too.

Then, we cut to the actual verdict at the actual court. They could have repeated the whole scene, to actual argument, but we saw Rajinikanth in action, and we know, as he does, that he is going to win. It saves repitition. Brillant script.

Your'e absolutely right groucho, i too had the same thought.

tac,

Enge Marupadiyum kaanama poiteenga? Mohanram sir has replied to your querry and hope his effort materialises.

Mohan & Raakesh,

Nice way of putting it. More than the info, the concluding remark of YGeeM was the icing on the cake. எந்த நடிகன் சார் பண்ணுவான்? இது நடக்கும் போது அவர் சிகரத்திலே இருக்கார். பெரிய நடிகர் திலகம், அவர் நின்னா, திரும்பினா, நடந்தா, கைதட்ட ஆள் ரெடி. அப்படி இருந்தும் அவர் பண்ணாரே அதுதான் கிரேட்

He was ready to do the retake as YGeeM and Nagesh pointed out about pronounciation and at the same time he made it look as if he is doing it on his own. So he told வின்சென்ட், அந்த ஸ்டெப்-லே இறங்கும் போது கொஞ்சம் சரியா வரலே. ஒன் மோர் எடுத்திராலம்.

That is NT.

Regards

Mohan Ram sir,
Thanks for posting the interview of Dr. Sivaji Ganesan! It was very nostalgic to see the legendary actor going down memory lane! The way "Nadigar Thilagam" Sivaji Ganesan demonstrated the difference between stage/theatrical acting versus cinema acting was simply superb! :thumbsup: I couldn't find beyond part 4 in You tube. Are there only 4 parts of this interview? Or is there anymore?

"Nadigar Thilagam" Sivaji Ganesan is truly the first person to set the acting bench mark for the next generation! :notworthy:

sun is telecasting sumathi en sundari now..
looks like a change..

wowwwwww mez gonna watch :wave:

As told by YGM...

In "Gowravam", there would be a mock trial scene that takes place in Barrister Rajnikanth's house, and YGM narrated a beautiful incidence that took place while shooting this sequence.

The scene had been succesfully shot and NT did a great job as usual. Everybody in the set applauded the performance but Nagesh & YGM stayed quiet and NT noticed it. Later, he called them up and said, "Ennada silent-a irukeenga, enna, perusa thappu kandupudichiteengala, sollunga...". Though embarassed, YGM said, "illeenga, ellam arumaya panneenga, aana oru idathula unga English pronounciation konjam thappa irundhadhu..". Now NT replied, "Yenda, enga amma enna Padma Seshadri school-ada nadathura, ....." . But the great actor & the wonderful person in him was not satisfied, so he went to the director / cameraman and said that something was missing in the take and that he is not satisfied, so let's go for another take..... This time he came out with the exact pronounciation. That's dedication to the core.

He recollected another incidence also from the same film. During shooting time, Nagesh once called him and asked to observe NT once he is finished with the make-up. Normally the Kannan portion will be shot in the day & Barrister portion, during second half. Once NT comes out of the make-up room as Kannan, he would start behaving like Kannan, in the sets. And, once he is Barrister Rajnikanth, his entire mannerisms, tone, body language everything will be that of BR. Amazing !!!

This shows that NT and only NT is a COMPLETE actor - dedication and performance delivery to the point.

Talking about his english pronunciation, the following NT films have got more usage of english:

1. gouravam
2. paalum pazhamum
3. bale pandiya (as scientist)

Any other films?
