Favorite Scenes/Songs from THALAIVAR Rajini films #3

[rangan_08]

The famous interview scene from “ Thillu Mullu”. Right from the moment when Rajini taps the door and enters the room and until he walks out, the whole scene is filled with intelligent humour and great performances from the two stalwarts.

Particularly, towards the end of the scene, Thengai asks, “ sarippa, unakku edhavadhu recommendation irukka ? “. Now Rajini, posing as if he is seriously offended and with all that false anger, shoots back at him saying (not verbatim), “ En thiramaikkum thagudhikkum illadha vela, enga appavoda nall perukku illadha vela, yaro oru moonavadhu manushanoda recommendation-la kedaikkudunna, andha velaye enakku venam saar “, and gets up to walk out. Now, Thengai says, “ Nillupa, enna unakku aan oona, Nehru madhiri posukku posukkunu kovam varudhu…”.

Another one. Rajini says something like, “…….uppu sathyagrahathukku inge irundhu nadandhe ponare oru magaan, avaru yaru theriyuma sir ?

Theriyadhu pa

Appo avarudhan sir enga appa (watch his expression now !)

I completely enjoyed those moments. It looked to me like, he doesn’t have to try too hard to bring out comedy. But, on the other hand, he was so natural and comfortable in those scenes. His countenance also possessed certain attractive qualities which largely supported those funny scenes. As always, his eyes and voice are a great advantage for him.

Ninaithaley Inikkum is another of his earlier films noted for comedy. And even films like Mullum Malarum, Johny & Aval Appadithan also had some lighter moments. He would look very cool with those “ moonu pattai” on his fore head and holding a glass of whisky & cigarette, in Aval appadithan.

One of the reasons for his success, I believe is that, right from the beginning he chose to do roles that had an opportunity to give a balanced performance. Jovial and funny in the first half – serious and action oriented in the second half and at times, both these qualities going together throughout the film.
