Do you not find "similarites" in Sangeetha jathi mulai and Naanum unthan uravai (mythili ennai kadhali) ?? esp towards the end, all the mirudungam, udukku ... etc ??

MM guy = Deepan, a relative of VN Janaki

The crowning glory of Bharathiraja's introduction (heroes) must be that Kangalaal Kaidhu Sei chap. What a karvaad!

whattey timing!

nanRi, Divine22, for your kind words!

However, the credits should go to IR/SPB and the seasoned TFM-DFers / hubbers whose language I'm simbly copy-pasting Otherwise, who'll read the hostel corridor biz of some kuppan-suppan?

BTW, please sound a warning if the suyapurANams go beyond decent limits That'll enable some adakki vAsiththal...

And, among the BR-intro-actresses, there are a couple of misses :
-Radhika who became famous in big screen, small screen, behind the screen etc
-Rati who even went to indhi

And among BR-intro-actors too, there are a few who stayed longer:
-Karthik (arguably the biggest "youth" star of 80's who was active in 90's too)
-"nizhalkaL" Ravi
-K Bagyaraj

In addition, though not intro'd by him, he can claim at least 0.1% credit in the up'pish-graph of mayilu, chappANi, parattai & kooththu...

Yes Karthik went on to become a big start, esp amongst the Ladies!

BTW, wasn't Pandiyan and Murali introduced by Murali ??

Possibly, but I've not paid very close attention to 'nAnum undhan uRavai' - not a big admirer of later day songs of TR, especially the pathos (he was awesome in OTR / UU though)

Pandiyan -per kisu kisu - paid BR to give him a chance Yes, he was BR intro.

Murali - is the original name of Karthik. (The other Murali got introduced in poo vilangu . a movie produced by KB directed by Ameer John and had nothing to do with BR)

And the most important contribution by BR to TF was not in form of actor / actresses but by directors A number of his juniors, grand-juniors, great-grand-juniors did considerably well.

BR should be given credit for being an Ala maram and not a puLiya maram.

Overall, a true trend setter (when in association with IR)

Also, w.r.t. actors, BR's most significant contribution was the exact opposite of what we're discussing here

That is, making successful movies with actors of no significant stuff

There, he stands much taller than the likes of KB/MR
