Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan Part 10

[Plum]

I wrote this elsewhere but this belongs here
Joe - this is particularly for your attenion. You must acknowledge that there is something that sets NT apart as a human being although I am wary of excessive hagiography like you

BTW, recently saw thyaagam.
In the climax, Thengai gets into a fight with villains and says this before involving in adidhadi
(He plays kovil battacharyaar in the movie)

"Enna iyeru kambai edukkaRAnnu pArkaRELA. idhai ellAM enakku yAru solli koduthA theriyumA? (pregnant pause, I am thinking a praise dialogue for NT's character will come here). "VAdhYAr. enga vAdhyAr" with a clear indication of who he is referring to.

Now, we have been discussing about Sivaji vs MGR in magnanimity an dinnocence stakes. Some MGR abhimaanis ELanMA asked Sivajikku vAila veral vechA kadikka theriyAdhA. Sure he wouldnt be that innocent. But surely, this is unprecedented. Praise of arch rival by an actor whom he had given a chance despite knowing that he is part of rival camp. And allowing that to remain in the final cut of the movie.

Contrast this with the man who chided vaali for writing Andavan Kattalai is bigger than Arasa kattalai.

It is clear who was putting up a show of magnanimity and who was truly magnanimous
