Thaanga mudyiadha 5-rooba-kodutha-10-roobaikki pongum actors

[Plum]

che, che, EC konjam doottila slip aana aalaalukku ipdiya digression pandradhu - firshtuu decide the topic.

Let's go step by step - firstly, let's ignore the mediocre and the "enna koduma saravanan" serious-comedy.
I also suggest lets not stick to tragedy queens and cry-kings - avanga ellam one dimension-la paduthinaanga. Ahdellam jujoobe.. the category I am proposing is of multi-dimensional ponga paaanais. Vide...

RULES
=======

Let's stick to people who delivered *any* emotion in hyper-state: be it sadness, happiness, ecstasy, pain, anxiety, disappointment, frustration ....you name the emotion, these artistes have touched the zenith of over-play in those emotions.

As with the YGM Gold Standard for Humourless comedy, the Gold Standard here is...
...AVM Rajan.
Now, think AVM Rajan.

That means dont think mediocre Shadows Ravi or one-dimensional manivannan (who was good in his one dimension though) or get distracted by the ordinary plain pathetic Kamalas Kameshes.

OK, with the stage set, I propose the initial nominees - every time you post and propose a candidate, remember to weigh them against these heavyweights , and propose only if they are worthy of being spoken of in the same breath as the following thespians:
Winner of the Poll gets the title:

Thaanga mudyiadha 5-rooba-kodutha-10-roobaikki pongum actors
better title names will be considered and modificed accordingly

Nominees:
1. Title Favourite AVM Rajan
2. 'Pen Puli', 'Ponga Paanai' Vijayakumari
3. Unarchi Pizhambu 'Sikkal' ShanmughaSundaram
4. Since all elections need a few dummy minor candidates, V.S.Raghavan , who is but a bachcha compared to the above 3 heavyweights
5. Thambi Bala@CR's nominee 'Killer' Kalairaani

The nature of the title means that previous favourite 'Major' BeautyKing is eliminated in the selection round. Nobody can accuse him of consistent over-play. Same applies to Nizhalgal Ravi etc. Think and nominate people. Think of killer-multi-dimensional-multi-emotional-warehouses.
We'll create another title and another poll for Major Sundararajan and co. later.

Thodangattum ungal therthal pani - we want separate state, chee separate thread for this - we cannot afford to replace the original intention of this thread - which was to capture for posterity the greatness of Annan YG Mahendra. Moderators, new thread, please!
