exactly nerd... we really miss him...
he has given most of the revenge, rising to the top songs to thalaivar...
especially for the energy he pumps out...

Ezhugave padaigal ezhugave from maaveeran
is one malaysia number for Rajini that is very special.
If you add "Vaangadaa vaanga en vandikku pinnaala" it was a MV - Rajini Riot album with
"Nee Koduthadha" being the top of that pile (forgive the picturisation there with Ambica absolutely spoiling the feel)..

I love the oonjal scene from Padaiyappa. Never fails to impress me. The scene with the college principal in Baasha and the 'ulla po' to his brother during the fight before his backstory. ALL Mottai boss scenes :P The 'saval' scene in Annamalai... "Intha naal, un calenderla kurichivachiko....". Many many more scenes.

Good Scenes Shankar

Infact for me the basha scene scores the most, awsome energy and expression, you can see the 'intense' grin and anger in his face ! Similar scenes in Enthiran is that Menancing laugh, and the way he grins before he smashes bora's head.

Maveeran was a miserable movie

A shot of adrenalin to your veins. ARR in screaming form. I've always said that Rajni looks great in traditional costumes. The last 30 some seconds where he comes down from the temple is a charismatic and pictographic feat. Paata-gaasam.

Telugu Sivaji scene (much better than tamil, imo)

1st one is from premabhisekam and 3rd one from Jagadeeka veerudu athiloka sundari (no idea of ntr's song)..

at superstar imitating ANR.. that was spot on and very hilarious.

Tudikkum Karanggal.

A weak film, considering Sridhar (yes, he was great once) behind it. Jai makes a poor villain for me. I prefer him in his action-hero mode than this bloated Asoganesque Bad guy

Otherwise, the movie's pretty entertaining thanks to Rajini still trying to find humour in bland script. I like a scene where the girls will trick Jai into charcoaling his own face, and it was meant for Rajini in the first place. And Rajini, who hates Jai's guts, actually tries to inform Jai of his face's condition, only to be stopped by the girls. Later he goes, "Paavam, periya manushan..." earnestly.

Music. SPB's like hybrid of MSV and IR. More MSV actually, with Sandhanam Poosum has enough birkha/sanggathi in it to make MSV proud.

Managed to watch the film full on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Hey grouch, thudikkum karangaL - seen in theatre maan. Didn't know about Sridhar then. Needless to say, quite enjoyed it then. Frankly, the weakest of Rajini masala then was much preferrable to Kamal masala. As I mentioned before, the reason was possibly Kamal's smart aleckiness which was just too good for plain masala movies. Plus dance which has always been greek and latin to me. People used to go gaga about his dance moves and dress sense as highlights of his movies - and that always put me off. I still find it difficult to appreciate a good dance performance - filmy or classical.

Rajni was simple, straightforward, and told very simple stories that appealed to kids. Sridhar was unlucky. It was pretty well put together considering the time handicap he had - it is a much better movie than many SPM nonsensical stuff.
Apart from other things, you could feel the location - the hill stationy rhythms of life. That is not something other masala movies of Rajini can claim - set as they are in lala land.
Not a great masala movie by any standards yet much more watchable in revisit than say Billa or paayum puli, which were monstrous hits
