Pandiyan.

As said earlier, silly fun. There is no message here, just Rajini is Mr. Right, but who can go wrong, when he failed to save his sister from going back to jail.

The Swordsman Chu Rajini with gadget filled motorbike scenes were too funny, then and now. I mean, come on SPM, this is even low for your standards.

This film finally establishes the reason why Janakaraj is never remembered as a great comedian.

Songs were wonderful to listen to after so long
Ulagattukaaga Piranthavan melodic intro.
Pandiyanin Rajyathil- rhythmic stuff. Kush and Rajini got good chemistry here (chew on this, Prabhu)
Adi Jumba - the reason to hate this film. Rajini better dancer than the gael was already unconvincingly established almost a decade earlier, nobody bought it so no problem.
Anbe Nee Enna - Most young male who watch Tamizh films that time fantasised that they were Rajini here. Nice song though

And my favourite:
Pandiyana Kokka Kokka....don't know why, I love it. Pure Rajinism.

And Mano proves that he is also perfect for Rajini (chew on this, Paramu).

Aaga mottathula, the film would be unbearable without IR and son(s?).

That's interesting grouch. Pandiyan will be bottom-O bottom of IR's list yet it makes a film more bearable for someone who is not really a IR fanatic...really, interesting.

Mano makes it unbearable for me, though. Sorry I am with paramu here.
For a long time, when the radio previews were out, which was about a month before the movie, I got to listen only to snatches of pandiyanin raajjiyathil, the mano part. Until I heard the actual song and chitra's part, I used to think it was pandiyanin raajjiyathil gujjalaala. Such is Mano's clarity of singing.

It was bottom for me at that time, I was thinking IR has gone goddam lazy, but years later having exposed to turds masquerading as music, I repented and went Kannai Thirandha Karunai kaarmegameee (re: Veera)....to IR

Thanks Plum , Mano was OK under ARR as ARR could have over shadowed Mano's 'inability' by increasing the 'volume' on his key board.

With IR, it is pure vocal, no escaping here.

Mano is a big sothapufi Mannan in all IR music, I remember how frustrated I was after hearing Mano's suthapal in Pandiyan songs.

I can not think of one song which was sung good by mano under IR, he was Ok under ARR, as ARR songs 'mostly' over take singers 'vocal' by musical instruments

Again watched PANAKKARAN for the n'th number of time, on saturday @ K TV.
RAJINI & JANAKARAJ
RAJINI's ENGLISH is very famous as he has done that right from BLACK & WHITE Movies...
Few movies I remember are
*GURU SISHYAN
*VELAIKARAN
Even in PANAKARAN,when JANAKARAJ says to RAJINI that GOWTHAMI is in love with him,he starts speaking in ENGLISH.... very classy,funny........ everything
THALAIVAR THALAIVARDHAN.............
These variations and performances show why he is very hard to be replaced, even after his retirement [ May be after ENTHIRAN !]
Becos no one in the Gen-Next seems to have such versatile [ COMEDY,ACTION,EMOTION,what else...... ]performance

[PARAMASHIVAN]

everything
THALAIVAR THALAIVARDHAN.............
