Introducing Sivaji Ganesan to the younger generation

[NOV]

He is one of the legends who cast his magic spell on Tamil cinema for 50 years. There is no Tamil actor ever - then and now even in future - could live and be successful without inheriting some of his DNA codes. Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan is the man who inspired the careers of almost all the present generation actors. Even Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan proved their mettle to enter films by reproducing Sivaji Ganesan's dialogues in films. There is no actor who has not recited his dialogue for his first offer.

Such was the impact his films had on their generation. Though he walked in style, smiled in style, wept in style, one important factor that contributed to the success of Nadigar Thilagam was his dialogue delivery. The thespian's voice and diction trained actors in dialogue delivery in films.

Just as Gandhi was eulogised, Sivaji Ganesan also fits in "Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth."

Rakesh and I have been talking about starting this thread, basically to introduce Nadigar Thilagam to the younger generation, ie those of the 80s and later. Most of them would only know Mudhal Mariyadhai, Devar Magan and possibly Padaiyappa. But the man is a much bigger legend than what was shown in those movies.

Personally, I have seen many among today's youth having keen interest in his movies, and some like our Varun has even asked for recommendations. Many are shocked that Sivaji has done a film like Andha Naal, back those days.

Thus the purpose of this thread is clearly to recommend films done by the thespian, which would appeal to today's youths. Let us together take you on a magical journey!
