Best characters in Tamil movies
Apart from actors performing to their best abilities, often it is the character that helps the actor. A lot of the credit should go to the screenplay writer and the director who provide the framework for the actor to express himself (or herself) or, in some cases make a mess of it as well. Can you think of some of the characters that stood out in Tamil movies (some, even in spite of the actors messing it up!) ?
Here are some starters (in no order):
1. Parthiban's character in that Soundarya movie where she runs away from PrakashRaj (I forgot the name of the movie)
2. Elumichambazham Vaithi in Thillana Mohanambal
3. Sathyaraj's character in Vedham Pudhidhu
4. Both Parattai & Chappani in 16 Vayathinile

Even though it was the hero role in Anbe Sivam, the character was memorable.
Another one: In spite of Madhubala doing the role, the character of 'Roja' was really something.
Nambiar in 'Thooral Ninnu Pochu'?
Indira (even though badly acted) in 'Indira' ?

The last one is a great example. While the movie had a hero, heroine(s) and other lot, the short time that Kamal spends on screen is what makes this a candidate for repeat viewing.
I loved it for the same reason that Nagesh completely overshadows Kamal in 'Nammavar'.
Others that come to mind:
1. MRR in 'Raththakanneer' (fantastic satire)
2. Rangarao in 'Sabhash Meena'
3. Chandrababu in 'Sabhash Meena'
4. Nedumudi Venu in 'Indian'
5. Nasser in 'Nayagan'
6. Nasser in 'Devar Magan'
7. Rajini (Johnny) in 'Johnny'
