Who is the greatest Tamil actress(Before 80's)?

[lotus_303]

if so why her film more popular within people than devika's film

[kid-glove]

Creo que Gandhimadhi es el mejor actriz

[NOV]

SuperstarA irukkaRadhu periya vishayam illai - Sivajikku competitorA oruiththar oNnumE nadikkAma maha popularA irundhArnu nAn solli NOVku theriya vENdiyadhillai.

thats why I kept on putting Rajni-Simbhu why do you have to force that one out.
anyway, savithri is also not in the supreme acting group of Sivaji & Kamal. we'll have a discussion on this another day.

MGR* - Rajini - Sivaji - Kamal: that is one level of imitation (although one of them will have an asterisk to be part of this group)
Sivakumar - Sarojadevi - VS Raghavan - Bhagyaraj - idhelLAm oru level of imitation.
Both are not the same

take out your pink glasses - you look horrible
ALL imitations are the same... they mock and want to make you laugh.. idhula 1st category 2nd categorynu ungal class-divisiona kondu varaadheenga

Saroja devi has done many comedy roles. Agree. avangaLe oru comedy piece. Refer to grouch's fake tweets in the twitter thread

Damn I miss that thread. Kisu Kisu thread ahA-nu ohO-nu Oduthu, ana intha thread-u...

[PARAMASHIVAN]

sarojadevi is estra ordinary and accepted by many

eppadi thoongum pOthum over make up pOttu thoongu vangalE athuvA ?

Karthik,
Ahdu kindalukku payan padutha padugirandhu endru sonnal, NT'n "ennappa solra " and walking is being used left right and centre by Adhu idu edhu siricha pochu folks
that doesnt mean the originals were bad. It's signature dialouges. Whether u believe it or not NT himself has appreciated SD for her acting capability in Palum pazhamum, Iruvar ullam etc. So Mazhalai was used by the actors/directors to cash more money. Aduthavanga kuralukku enna bavam kodukkrathunne theriyama nadikkum nadigayir mathiryil SD was way better. Subtle SD acting movies neenga pakkalaya illa pakkave illanu sadhikka poreengala.

Devika was good but if you notice in Bale pandiya Sandhya panna alavukku kooda comedy varadhu Devikavukku.

We are talking about all depts in which Savithiri & SD score than others

Sir Inda padathil Devikavukku Comedy vedam Kidaiathu.! (Adargu Sahodari, Bandapasam )
"Bale pandya " vil "Innocent" ana sivajikku "vazha ninaithal vazhalam" enru eduthukkoori vazha asaipada vaikkum charecter
Anda vedathil miga nanragave azhagaga thonri nadithar Devika.
(IN "Athikkai" songs Sivaji asadu vazhivadum,Devika azhagaga pavanai seyvadum super)

The pair deveka sivaji is very unpopular most of the fillms of this pair were failure
Padmini was retaired savitri becmes too fat sarojadevi has gone to MGR side so sivaji has only chance to act with devika that is the only reason sivaji act with devika in that period after kr vijaya comes devika lost this change also
she is not big heroine to argue in this thread she is like puspalatha etc etc
dont waste the time to argue about her in this thread

Rajini-Simbu is inappropriate comparison. Contemporaries vs different generation. Plus, Simbu as an actor/star is hardly comparable to Devika as an actor/star. EdhO oru comparison paNNanumnu paNNi irukkInga

nAn correctA compare paNdrEn pArunga:

Devi Sarosa - Jothika
Devika - Sneha

Jodhika is far more succesful, acted with all big heroes in superhit movies, overdid "cute" expressions, over abhinayam in the name of acting, tamizhnadu succumbed to her style of acting and majority opinion is accepting of the jothika style. Sneha - had her moments. never overdid things in the name of cute expressions, but is not as succesful as Jothika. Also known for her homely beauty(but not exactly hour glass figure or ulaga azhagi pOtti tharam of beauty) but is also despised by glamour fans as not so glamorous as jothika.
It is a perfect comparison. And they were contemporaries so the comparison works at all levels

You can keep the success and public Aatu mandhai appreciation of Rosa Devi and Sodhika. We'll keep the charm and understated elegance of Devika and Sneka.

Damn I miss that thread. Kisu Kisu thread ahA-nu ohO-nu Oduthu, ana intha thread-u...

Revive Grouch. We'll ignore kalakkapovadhu yaaru level comedy mimicry expectations and do our own thing. Let's havet his thumb rule - if you write and I laugh, you are succesful.. if I write and you laugh, I am succesful. We have our niche humour - probably only you and me appreciate, vEnumna Shaktiprabhakku konjam training koduththu appreciate panna vechuralaam - and we shouldnt really be put off by the honestrajs of the world who cant appreciate the wholesome genius of amman arul AVM Rajan related jokes.

Sneha gave good performance in many film deveka is an 2nd heroine she dinnt do any commadable role she has no talent to do that please neclect her puspalatha did more than her
