Thanks for the link, Joe. That inspired me to do an addendum to my earlier Sivaji & The Sadist article. The first para here, the rest you can also click my signature:

There something about Avanthan Manithan, as an entity, that clearly hates Sivaji’s character, Ravikumar. It starts showing a very human Ravikumar, having fun, romance, singing duet and all the stuff a regular lead character in a Tamizh film would do, and it goes ahead to promptly kill his love interest. The joys in the film dies with her, and the zombie-like Sivaji goes on ravaging his own life...(more here)

Hi,

I am R. Parthasarathy, a proud fan of NT right from my school days. In fact, my Mother often says that I became NT's fan right from Saraswathi Sabatham, at which time I was hardly 4 years old.Almost all my family members, except of course, my Father (an MGR fan), all of us are proud fans of the one and only NT. I have been going through this hub for more than one year and continuously trying to join the hub, which I could do only now. In fact yesterday only I was watching the one and only Deiva Magan, especially that rollicking character Vijay. I will be proud to send my postings too in future to this forum.

Regards,

Partha

Dear Mr. Murali,

Thanks very much for your immediate response. My job knew no bounds when I received a response, especially from an ardent fan like you and it matches with the joy of watching NT performs.

For the past - almost 30 years, no single day has passed without recalling/discussing/referring about NT in some forum/discussions. Such is the impact this artiste has created in me.

I wish to recall one incident. 15 years ago, some guests came to our residence to meet my father and at that time me and my mother were watching "Gnana Oli", which was being telecast in Sun TV. It was a scene where the Father (played beautifully by Mr. Gokulnath) wanted to meet Murattuppayal (our beloved NT) and NT would come to the Father's residence along with Major. After getting permission from Major (of course with a warning gesture that his pistol would take care if NT mischiefs!), NT goes to meet the ageing Father. The way he goes and sits on the floor keeping his face on the lap of the Father and weeps - silently) - I started weeping unconsciously, unaware of the guests who were at our residence. For any NT fan, I am sure, when he grows up, his preference for NT's films and scenes also keep changing - the way NT changes his expressions. When I was yound, I used to enjoy the second half of Gnana Oli and after seeing it on the above day and from then on, I have been enjoying the first half. Because, NT (also) played to his fans in the second half whereas in the first half, he purely treads the story.

He is the only Actor on earth, who always played for his fans, which gave him joy which in turn also brought to his innumerable fans. Long ago, I read a Question/Ans. session in Bhommai where he answered to a question on what is that he thinks is the ultimate achievement for which, he humbly replied by saying that he was to yet to achieve any big think but; said further that "once a person becomes my fan, then, he/she will not switch over to any other artiste."

Ulagam ullalavum endha nadiganaalum indha saadhanayai muriyadikka mudiyaadhu.

During early 80s, me and my close friend (his native was Vellore and was living with his sister by working in Chennai) used to go to lot of NT movies. (I covered 90% of his films during the period 1977 to 1985).

As most of the NT fans would agree, there are different types of NT fans belonging to various generations and my friend was a typical NT fan who watched films from 1967 (Thangai of course - as Mr. Murali Sir rightly indicated many a time, that it was late K. Balajee, who actually was responsible for taking NT to all types of audience.).

One day we went to Muralikrishna Theatre in Aminjikarai to watch Navarathri. After becoming an Adult, for the first time both of us were watching Navarathri (In fact we were saying to each other "Sivaji fan-nu sollikkiradhu avamaanam if we have not watched Navarathri as yet). We were getting restless initially as for more than 10 minutes, NT was not appearing on the screen. However, theatre was quiet calm, which was evident from the fact that most of the audience were watching atleast for the second time and knew when NT would appear! On the scene where a old well was shown, theatre went into raptures and we immediately knew that NT is going to appear. Wow! what a style man. Style-kkum ilakkanam ezhudhiya Nadigan.

During the second characterization, immediately upon NT falling at the feet of Savithri after the song, my friend abruptly started going out of theatre, saying, "Ganesan Savithri kaalila vizhardha paakkarthukkudhaan enna koottittu vandhiyaa?". While I belong to a category where I enjoy NT acting in any type of movie - from Parasakthi (benchmark performance right from the first movie, which I watched for over 10 times between 1977 and 1983 - see how many screening in Chennai alone in various theatres) to Padayappa, my friend is used to watch movies where Style / Majestic looks are predominant.

In fact, he also wanted to walk out when seeing NT in a wheel chair in Aalayamani. Only later, he started enjoying all types of NT movies.

Shall share some more thought about NT's acting from my view soon.
