can somebody confirm whether the old hubber Mahan Ram, is the actor in 'once more?' and as mentioned in few articles, his father was a friend of NT, who is he?

This fantastic reply from ‘groucho070’ in an older post should get into the people’s thick heads, who criticizes NT for over acting :---


(I note your self-describing avatar sums up a lot of your own preference in screen performances. Not only its two-dimensional, but is very self-destructive.

But your remark pulled me back in action in NT thread. Sorry guys, been away again.

Let's talk about Gouvaram.

Gouvaram to me, is, what Citizen Kane is to Hollywood. It's groundbreaking film, one of the greatest analysis of personality that had been displayed on Tamil screen.

Barrister Rajinikanth is not an ordinary guy. He shouts for attention, he is arrogant, egostical, selfish, but intelligent. Perhaps too intelligent that he led to him to suicidal path. Defeat killed him. He was too confident of his ability, and when things started crumbling he knew that he will not descent, but just fall.

To display the personality trait associated with this character, you can't use restrain. And yet, towards the last scene, when his wife comes to tell him of his defeat, he is speechless. Just tiny gestures and eye movement. All his energy has been spent...if you note in the earlier scenes when he discourse, discusses, argues, defends, fights his way to prove that he is right or he can be right.

Rajinikanth is not an enigmatic man. He is there for everyone to see. He does not hesitate to tell them off. Diplomacy is a foreign word for him. He is a bull that punches his way through the destination.

Thus, the technique NT uses is what is now known as 'overacting'. The message is clearer; we get to know his role better. The quiet moment comes towards the end, when we felt like a heavy thunderstorm is over. Sudden silence that is defeaning. That is the power of NT's performance.

Overacting is part of NT's vast array of techniques. In fact, he owns 'overacting'. Anyone else who overacts can only be accused of trying to copy NT.

So, Saamy, take another look at Gouvaram and study NT's thechnique. We are glad that you have taken a crack at it once. You saw and you are wondering what's the fuss about. There is something in there. Go and see it again with a new understanding. Go through this thread and try to understand why grown up men and women can laugh and cry watching another grown up man acting.

Go ahead, friend, take another look. It's worth it.)
