I think that whole interview scene is thEngAi's career best!

I never found "Coconut" to be funny in his other movies, but in this one he was good!


BTW, who acted as RK's sis in this movie ?

(Havent seen Golmaal recently, just once in DD, 10 or so years ago) Screenplay is about 80% the same. Few characters go missing in the thamizh version / climax is different etc. Dialogues undoubtedly thamizh version is better. Really hilarious. And you won't believe how good the Hindi thengai was (Utpal Dutt). But the Rajini factor, dialogues and the songs make thamizh version vastly better.

Love Rajini's intro to the film and his charm as Indhiran. RaagangaL pathinaaRu song onnE pOdhum.

Poornam: Avarukku (thEngai) meesai evLO adhigamaa irukkO andha aLavukku manasu suththamaa irukkumnu oru nambikkai
Rajini: romba romba correct sir :lol: :lol:

The joke ends there but poornam spoils it by "enakku meesai illaingrathunaala azhuththi solriyaaa?"

81 year old Sowcar to act after a gap of many years (http://dinamani.com/edition/story.aspx?&SectionName=Cinema&artid=615416&SectionID=141&MainSectionID=141&SEO=&Title=)



பதினைந்து வருடங்களுக்குப் பிறகு நடிப்பது, அதுவும் தமிழ்ப் படத்தில் நடிப்பது மிகவும் மகிழ்ச்சியாக இருக்கிறது.

என்னுடைய 62 ஆண்டு கால சினிமா அனுபவத்தில் எத்தனையோ கலைஞர்களுடன் பழகியிருக்கிறேன். "ஹே ராம்' படத்தில் என்னை நடிக்க அழைத்திருந்தார் கமல். "பார்த்தால் பசி தீரும்' படத்தில் குழந்தையாக நடித்த கமல் என்னை வைத்து இயக்கும் அளவுக்கு வளர்ந்ததை நினைத்து மிகவும் பெருமையாக இருந்தது. அந்தப் படத்தில் ஒரே ஒரு காட்சியில் மட்டுமே நடித்தேன். அதற்குள் எனக்கு இதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சை செய்ய வேண்டிய சூழ்நிலை. மேற்கொண்டு நடிக்க முடியாமல் போய்விட்டது. ஆனாலும் எனக்குப் பேசிய தொகையை மொத்தமாக ஒரே "செக்'கில் கமல் அனுப்பி வைத்தார். அந்த நேரத்தில் அந்தத் தொகைதான் என்னுடைய மருத்துவ சிகிச்சைக்கு உதவியது. அதை எப்போதும் மறக்க மாட்டேன் என்றார்.

GS had some dull moments (the flashback, the brief Prabhu/Rajini fight) but if TM has all the performers (including really funny Kamal cameo) and script to credit for; Guru Sishyan wins mainly because of Rajini's penchant for affable silly comedy. The onlyRajinicangetawaywithit comedy.

Nerd - KN is a different world. Wodehousian in set-up. although Gopu didnt get the dialogues as wodehousian as possible. But Kaase Dhaan KAdavulada - Gopu nailed the Wodehousian setup, characters, situations(down to hiding the necklace in flowerpot) and excellent dialogues. Laxmi's seceratary is picked off Rupert Baxter and a particular sequence of her being dubbed a paithiyam, and her protests adding to that claim is straight out of a Rupert baxter situation in a Blandings Castle novel. But you wouldnt notice it until the 20th or 25th time of watching. Excellently integrated. KN is much lighter - we must keep in mind except Muthuraman and Baliah and Nagesh, the rest of the performers are limited and that might have brought it down a notch.

KN was picturised in a beautiful location and the whole movie was pleasing to the eyes.

I could not remember any other comedy movie picturised so nicely.

Proof for this movie being benchmark in many aspects:
- in KSY the song " hello viswanathan " was literally copied including the choreography.
- in Chandramukhi a similar scene, like the story narration between nagesh and balaiah, was tried by rajni and vadivelu.

An equal comedy movie of the same generation could be Bama Vijayam but lags behind in technical aspects like picturisation when compared to KN.

I agree and at the same time I realized for Rajini things got worse only after Baasha. Before that it was okay I thought even when he was superstar. For example I watched thambikku endha ooru, recently. Rajini really acted well in that movie and that point in time he had taken commercial route with not much importance given to substance. Even with that restriction Rajini was still able to emote well within the commercial frame.

now it appears that u were not impressed with TM for many other factors when u watched it around 95s and only recently a rewatch made u realize that there is not subtlety which was present in golmaal...

enakkellaam subtlety'na ennanu innum avlovaa pureela... adhaan...

honestly, i had no impression or opinion during first time watch in 80s, 90s for most movies including TM and golmaal.......only director i could recognise was Maniratnam since his films looked relevant to me and visual texture was glaringly futuristic from others......when u revisit or recap those movies and fit them into opinion, value system framework that you have acquired then u get the reason for like/dislike of a movie....

I actually like the scene where Nagesh teaches Sachu acting, even more than the narration scene.

The complete disconnect between him and Sachu is funny and the way he explains the love scene (appadiyE sokkiraNum avan). Then he is frustrated (thalai ezuththu), furious (aththaan :rotfl:) and goes for her throat and Sachu even laughs in the scene- and then is all sweet and coaxes her (bayandhuttiyA :mrgreen:). The sudden change in tone and demeanour is hilarious.

Thillu Mullu, Chennai Sabha naadagam, absolutely. Sort of a precursor to crazy comedies in the 90s/00s. TM is not a *great* film too, but the jokes / acting etc. are all better than Kadhalikka Neramillai. Excellent repeat value.

TM wins here compared to any other film), no fight sequence.. even Thangangale thambigale is fun to watch... if we start quoting best lines from TM.. we will end up with 80% of the dialogues..

KBR is directing a film.. first half script was ready but the team was finding it difficult to move the 2nd half screenplay.. check with KBR whether he could be helpful for KBR

No way, like Aanastu said TM was purely a comedy movie , where else TEO was not entirely a comedy based movie. Another different is that TM comedy mainly based on dialogue delivery, where else TER was a typical Rajni style comedy (Body language/Expression ), eg that Pambu scene :rotfl2:

Param,

For one thing, this movie was considered commercially loss making those days. Definitely not a big hit. With all the (relatively) huge expenses of going abroad for shooting those days, that too with too many big stars, having such an average run should have been disastrous for the producer. It possibly had some run in Chennai but in most other centers, it didn't even cross 50 days I think, despite having Kamal-Rajini for a Sujatha story. (Remember, the Chennai business wasn't as big a % as current in 70's ; also not too many theaters, so a movie had to run many days to even break-even).

Music was a big hit, without question!

engEyum eppOdhum & namma ooru singAri are both my all-time favourites!

'lAlla lalla lA lA' by SPB-SJ is another one very dear to me.

Bharathi kaNNammA / yAdhum oorE are excellent melodies but I'm not a big fan no-thanks to teacharammA :neutral: They were patti-thotti hits in TN, however!

All said and done, I won't rate that as all-time-number-one of TFM.

Reason? It had ABBA's mAmA miA copied :oops: (vAnilE song).

That way, with a copied song, to call it our best would be an insult to all the masters of TFM, IMSO!

I've watched the movie in college auditorium, few years after its release and liked only the Rajinikanth portions. Boring otherwise, even the song scenes / sequences were uninteresting.

Many times discussed in tfmpage before. The song that goes like 'vAnilE' is suruttified from ABBA's famous mAmA miA song (another line that goes like 'sayanOrA' with the same borrowed notes)

(Interestingly, the same ABBA song was suttufied by RDB in a bigger way, for one of his biggest hits - 'mil gayA...terE liyE' song of hum kisisE kum naheen).

Favourite songs in NI:

1) Engeyum Eppodhum
2) Namma Ooru Singari
3) Sambo Siva Sambo

Other than these songs, I like comedy and the (konjoondu)chemistry between Kamal & Rajini.

I hate it mainly for the gross injustice done to Kamal's character by his Guru. For that matter(except Avargal, to an extent) KH never got to play a really strong character in any of those KH-RK-KB combo movies. NI, Moondru Mudichu, Apoorva Ragangal - Ellaathulayum the same lover-boy with nothing else to do. If you remove RK from this, you have memorable characters like in Nizhal Nijamagiradhu, Punnagai Mannan, Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu. BR should have brought these two together again.

H_H, I kinda disagree. Sure, Rajini shines but his role here is no different than Nagesh's in an NT/MT movie, supporting comedic role. Kamal's roles in all the K.B movies had ranges, he was adorable in 3 knots, if not why would I cry and hate that goddam fag flipper didn't save Kamal when he was drowning (I was three or four years old), in AR he was hot headed youth in love with older woman and plays miruthanggam they way it should be played, well-written role that he perfected in the Hindi version, and you should check out his hilarious cameo in Tappu Thalanggal (where I learned recently that he was testing out the teeth for Kalyanaraman).

In NI, the fault likes entirely on Jayapradha's characterisation. It could have been just an on-off love affair, instead of all that stupid backstory.

I guess the reason for KB portraying KH as a lover boy was due to fact he was (in 70's) had that image in most of his movies till the arrival of Karthik. Such image wouldn't have suited RK , simply because of his looks. Vice versa RK's sadistic villianism / comedy could never be justified by KH. So it sorts of balances out!

Grouch, in Moondru Mudichu, what Kamal did was an extended cameo. It was a Rajini-Sridevi show all the way. KB was probably fascinated by his new finding that he made a movie just to showcase Rajini's mannerisms and villainy. Though Kamal was not a star, KB could have gone for a lesser actor to play that role. I still remember asking my brother innocently "Andha scene'kkapparam Kamal varave maattaara?"

AR was slightly better. But again in a movie based on family & complex relationships, he had to share screenspace with the supporting characters. Baring few angry outbursts, onnum perusa illa. Avargal on the other hand was a movie which largely benefited by Kamal's acting. But here too KB did not want to give anything ordinary to Rajini. Did he?

NI - mannikkave mudiyaadha kutram. A director who went out the way to write such an entertaining comedy track could have done something better to make KH & Jayapradha's characters interesting. Nagesh in MT/NT movies? Maybe, but do you think Kamal's character in NI was half as good as MT's or NT's? A Gemini Ganesan-Nagesh or Karthik-Goundernu sollalaam. Balancing ange dhaan konjam odhaikkudhu.

Thappu Thalangal naan innum paakkala. But unfortunately, I didn't find even the last-scene cameo in Thillu Mullu interesting, when compared to the rest of the movie. If you compare these movies with Nizhal Nijamaagiradhu, which was released almost during the same time, you would see the difference.

Kamal's charecter in NN was originally done by Rajini in Chilakamma Cheppindi in telugu directed by Eranki Sharma who was assistant director to KB. Even i heard that Chilakamma Cheppindi was a remake from malayalam.

Kamal's performance in TT was very good though it was a small one. KB was mainly making female centric movies where bad men were mostly a sadist, womainser or chauvanist etc. Rajinikanth's unique style of acting perfectly suited those charecters which was considered to be fresh at the time. However, KB also offered variety of roles to kamal in several movies, to name a few, ventriloquist in Avargal, mimicry artist in aval oru thodarkathai, unemployed youth in VNS etc.

OK, a simplified version of mAmA miA, by indhi MD RDB in 1977 :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2uc7vqZJrQ

vAnilE / sayanOrA is ditto of mil gayA. Keyboarders may be able to map the notes, I can only go by ear :-)

(It was clever for RDB to lift his first line from somewhere in the middle of the ABBA song - the "Look at me now / I don't know now" part - and MSV followed suit :wink: Still, RDB pal iLichchifies with 'terE liyE' that's ditto of mamA miA while MSV couldn't resist keeping a feeble keyboard accompaniment that retains the feel of the ABBA song. What's more, the guitar prelude plays the same tune and thus the copied notes form almost 25% of this tiny song; With sayanOra, it has two versions too!).

Obviously, one should not look for "Veda / S-G / Deva"-like wholesale lifts in the case of MSV-IR-ARR. Karthik's itwofs website samples should showcase this difference in levels, though there's an element of plagiarism!

For e.g., look at these by IR and how they are classified:

First 40 mins of Johnny on Raj Digital. Seen the film 10+ times but never noticed this piece of dialogue by Rajini. "Make it snappy" :-) in the first con scene at the jewelry. And thats exactly how Mahendran has made the film. Crisp, racy (not the jump cuts / fast forwards racy), not wasting a single frame.


1st scene in which he records the folk music establishes Johnny as a music lover. And then the radio announcement makes the viewer come to know that he is a music loving theif. And the jewelry scene shows the clever side of Johnny and the scene with his father shows whats driving him. Similar beautiful scenes define Vidyasagar and Archana. Now this is how you establish characters.


The jewelry scene is extremely well executed. The cut from Johnny calling the police to the police calling the bank manager is superb. I mean he does not show the the police jeep / tires screetching / Johnny explaining the situation etc.


I guess we are all familiar with the 'appadiththaan pEsuvEn' scene. There is a similar / cute scene in the first 40 mins. Johnny's first meeting with Sridevi in the beach.

SD: Sorry annaikku dhaan ungaLaala boquet kudukka mudiyaama pOchu
Rajini: Adhukkuththaan oru poonthOttamE anuppittEnE
SD: * adhu neegaLA

My next door hostel mate was a big Ambi chEchi fan and he regularly followed her successes / failures.

Me regularly followed the successes / failures of every IR movie during college days. ('pattu vaNNachchElaikkAri' was a regular on radio)

I've already mentioned that it wasn't as big as SKV (and hence totally got eclipsed those days). Neither it was as popular as other Rajini hits due to the "lack-of-heroism".

But it was reportedly a commercial positive. Of course, I've not been to theaters to confirm this :lol: but have definitely seen posters :-)

Per tabloids, a star movie was commercially positive if it crossed 35 days those days. For a non-star movie, 20-25 days' run was sufficient. EKK was a 100 day movie (http://www.rajinifans.com/box_office_detail.html?rId=131) somewhere. Even in Trichy, it crossed 50 days.

During 81-85, posters in Trichy weren't "fabricated" (not many theaters those days and me being a visiter to theaters more than once a week can vouch for this in general).

Even some supposedly big hit movies of KH-RK had only "iNaindha 50-vadhu nAL". (e.g. 'moonRam piRai' started off in kalai arangam, a big theater, but celebrated its iNaindha-50th day only in Rukmani of Woraiyur IIRC). There had been any number of KH-RK movies that didn't hit the 50th day in Trichy those days and they didn't hide that fact by posters.

Thambikku entha ooru first hour. What a fun film! Right from the long monologue while packing stuff for the assignment (he packs his childhood trophies etc :lol: ) till the end of the first hour, super fun it was.


In the monologue - ulagaththa therinjikkanumaam - junnel-a thoRanthuvittaa therinjidappOvudhu..
Looking at that manajppai offered by the father to take with him - idhu ungappaa ungaLukku vittuttuppOnadhaa :lol:


First scene at the village, annoyed at the responses to his earnest(!) queries, hits a perisu with the manjappai. The very definition of the *naturally* funny Rajini. Some more samples, not highlighting the oft-quoted ones:

Senthaamarai: Seruppaa anga vidu
Rajini: paravaillai irukkattum :lol: :lol:


Smells the thengaa naar and pukes almost
Sulak: adha yEnyaa mOndhu paakkuRa?
Rajini: inimEl paarkka maattEn :rotfl3:


And casually slips something into his mouth and when he comes to know its a red chilli :rotfl:Sivaji-layum sangar vechchaarE :twisted:

I found the Pambu scene in TEO to be too Hilarious :rotfl2: and the scene prior to that , the scene when he reads a book called "paapa pOta thappa" :shock: :rotfl:

Since TEO the pambu scenes are a regular in RK's movie (Annamalai, Pandian and CM)

watched first hour...
super performance... so natural, the timings are awesome... everyscene is fun...

when he reaches the village, after the valippOkkan guy scolds him and go, he follows him to go hit his butt with his back and runs... wat chinnappullatthanam :lol:

- aama indha maadu etthini litter paal karakkudhu
-- yov idhu kaalamaadu yaa
- irukkattumae enna ippo, kudutthaa enna thappu...

and the scene when he goes to milk the cow...
his body language... when he manages to get comfortable touching the cow, from its body he does 'nandu oorudhu nari oorudhu' cautiously to reach its 'madi'(english'la enna?) :lol:

very impressed... he was in fun mode and suddenly starts emoting...
the scene where santhamarai gives him weekly wage and says 'idhukku munna panatthayae paatthadhillayaa?'... romba chinna scenedhaan...


i am even wondering if this one is better in timing jokes and casual wits... when compared to thillumullu which he does most of comedy with a serious face...

Nerd

rendum dibarant. He is more comfortable in TEU/Padikkathavan types. That is why pulling off a Thillu Mullu is no mean achievement. Verstail :clap:

And we have Veera too, hugely underrated comic performance.

another twist:

rajini challenges his dad with so much hightone and veeraappu after which he walks away and the scene cut... the scene looked very serious...
total twist in the next scene... he polambufies/cries 'veetta vittu poganumaam... ayyayyoo... ozhaikkanumaam...'

:lol:
