How can we miss Avargal? The first depiction of emotional abuse and superlative performance by both Rajini and Kamal. KB's list is very long really, Nizhal Nijamagiradhu, Manmadha Leelai, Arangetram, Aval oru thodargadhai..all outstanding socia…

UMT had so many moments that were Balachander at his best.including humor..like Gemini says 'Nalla maatukku oru soodu da' and Kamal goes 'mattukku thaane appa :) Then Kamal's facial expression when Sita says her name is K Malam (…

Dear Kailasam sir, yes I would very much like to read the article although not sure where it is? I thought you are posting since I mentioned the name 'RAman' in my conversation with Rahul.

Yes Udanx is right, PAdmini was 36 years old. Actually if you really want to appreciate her beauty and talent have to look at much older films - Mannadhi Mannan, Thooku Thooki, Uthama puthiran, Maragadam and so on. Thillana...was not a hit because o…

Vairam, I regard the Anjali cycling scene as blatant copy, no 'influence' there!! I disliked Ayutha Ezhuthu much for the portrayal of wife beater and did not watch at all so cannot speak to that. Very good to know about Pagal Nilavu and Ka…

Hi Vairam, that was a great list!! I am saving some of your comments for me to watch esp the german movies. I deliberatly did not include english movies in my list, i have a whole dairy full of them and it will overshadow local language discussion, …

Hi Rahul, yes he is very distant relative. There is one Raman who is scientist at Indian Institute of Science who is actually my grandmother's cousin's son. He is a very famous figure in science and other circles. TNS is married to his sis…

Sorry it was Roja I believe, not Anjali.My sister clarified. I just said this as fact and am not interested in debating what Kamal said, those who want to believe are free to beleive. We have been through that before.

I agree...she is a glamor gal, nice one undoubtedly and she pulled off her glamor with such little exposure. Her pet name was 'paingili' with a prefix I'd rather not mention. But can't think of any PS character for her. SPS, Padm…

Udanx, Saroja Devi's tamil is horrible, I mean absolutely horrible she can't even manage a few words. Most kannadigas actually can speak some tamil and she is not even minimal. BTW, where is she in Server Sundaram ?? Kanchana...very very …

SPS, Is Rahul Sarojadevi fan? Perhaps you can pay me a visit in Bangalore. She lives there and is a frequently seen figure in Malleswaram markets - more recognized by tamils than kannadigas :). She still looks good :) Malathi

of money to the board in India at one time to get his Guna instead of Anjali as an entry and it did not make it. Since then he made up a story of sour grapes that oscars is only for western movies, which has been disproven time and again. Am just c…

How can we forget Iravum Nilavum..the karnan song in Big Temple? Innumerable songs on Mahabalipuram beach, almost all duets in 60s-70s were there only. Dalapathi is Hampi. Mani Ratnam narrowly escaped a law suite for his crew doing some damage to …

Venkat, interesting.. my research tells me that KD wrote this song, I may b know KD later stopped writing for MGR as he thought the songs were increasingly losing thematic value and becoming blatant hero worship which was true.The last song he wrote…

Hi
Hi Venkat, yes I agree about the light house. Was that song Vaali or KD would you know? I really like the lyrics very much. Light houses evoke strong emotions in lot of people btw. I have seen many atleast here in the west. Malathi
