OK folks, based on popular demand, as the creator of this thread, it's time for me to revive this thread !!!
As a first step, I would like each of you beautiful ppl to stop by this thread, and list your favorites in each of these categories ...
* Favorite Movie of MGR ...
* Favorite Thathuvam Song of MGR ...
* Favorite Duet Song of MGR ...
* Who you think made MGR's best pair on screen?
* What made you like MGR on screen?
* What made you like MGR off screen?
* If MGR could have done any better in his career in life, both on and off screen...
To begin with, my answers for the above would be ..
* Movie - Enga Veetu Pillai
* Thathuva Paadal - Moondreluthil En moochirukkum
* Duet Song - Andru Vanthathum ithae nilaa
* On-screen pair - Saroja Devi
* On screen, I liked his macho image and action ... I think he was the first one to introduce the concept of one-man heroism in Tamil cinema ... Before his kinda movies, it was all historical movies, and there was no guarentee that the hero will always win ... By bringin in this kinda image, he made each and every massy fan identify himself on screen, and feel satisfied, with whatver the common man cannot do in real life, his idol MGR would do on screen, especially against injustice ... And I am NO exception to that common man !!
* Off Screen, I was told by elders, that for the most part, he practised what he preached .. Of course, he's a human being too, and has got the dark and shady side of character, which was like a black mark in his political career especially ... But definitely, I have heard that he was the MUDI SOODA MANNAN in Tamil Nadu, be it Cinema or Politics !!
Jump in, and Share your thoughts in this thread guys !!! You don't have to be his fan to write about all these things abt such a BIG star !!!
:bluejump: :redjump: :clap:

Soon, I will give my share of MGR's best ever. :thumbsup:
Bay, I will answer your list one by one !Quote:

"Madhurai Veeran" will come next (sorry if someone hates this line :lol: ) ! In this movie, in one particular scene you can see his face glittering like a sun when he utters the famous dialogue to the "Vaathabi ThoothuvaN"
His expressions in that scene will be :thumbsup: In that single lenghty dialogue, he will bring in "self-analysis", "inability to whip away the wounds caused during Magendra Pallavar's period" etc !
The song !
"oRu kodiyil iRu maLargaL maLaRnthathamma maLarnthathamma" :cry: is one of the very few songs which has neat lyrics that reflect brother-sister relationship !
Towards the end, when everyone joins hands with him to destroy PULIKESI, you will feel as if you are into it with the sudden changes and feel as if you have won !
Ofcourse, as a general MASALA and HEROISM lover everyone will love to see VAATHIYAAR IN
"ENGA VEETU PILLAI" :D
Bay
There are plenty of MGR movies worth watching .
To start with :
1. Anbe vaa - There was no fight in this movie ( even the climax was a thamash fight only ) and Makkal thilagam was full of enthu. , joking and teasing Saroja Devi at ease !
2. 1000l oruvan
MGR at his handsome best ! awesome looks.
3. Padagotti
Vow. no words to describe
4. Enga veettu pillai
This movie catapulted MGR to super star status
5. Pasam
Well , MGR proved that he can also play emotional characters.
6. nan en pirandhen
I love this movie simply for the reason that the storyline was altogether different. MGR playing a middle aged man role and sans fighting was something impossible during his peak period
7. ULAGAM SUTRUM VALIBAN
Well, about this movie Mr. Manisegaran's article speaks volumes about Puratchi thalaivar's immense capabilities as a Director, Camera work, songs etc
Will continue
Considering that MGR movies are basically entertainers, I would go with 'Enga Veetu Pillai'. That's the only MGR movie I own on video.Quote:
* Favorite Movie of MGR ...
This is a toughie, since every movie of his has one and they are all good. I guess 'Nenjam Undu Nermai Undu' is my top favourite.Quote:
* Favorite Thathuvam Song of MGR ...
This too is tough to answer. 'Thanga padhakathin mele' is one of the songs I listen to often. Another one I like, but not a duet, is 'Aval oru navarasa nadagam' from Ulagam Sutrum Valiban.Quote:
* Favorite Duet Song of MGR ...
Of course Saroja Devi.Quote:
* Who you think made MGR's best pair on screen?
I think I'll let the other ones pass :)
