Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan

[P_R]

Movies are meant to be enjoyed and a good and convincing performance by any actor is to be appreciated.Let us rise above petty comparisons......Having said all this Sivaji of course is GREAT.

I agree, but with some reservation. Movies and performances are to be enjoyed as wholesome and independent units. But that does not make a case for dismissing comparisons altogether.

Comparing the performances of people in similar situations helps appreciate things better.Even intergenerational comparsions would still be possible if we go about it reasonably. I cannot help think of Vasantha Maaligai when i watch Vaazhvey Maayam. When I watched 'Pagal Nilavu' this weekend I was parallely thinking of Nayagan.

That said I do concede that most comparisons we do, atleast in the Hub, end up being petty
