    100th Film and Jinxes

    Was having an interesting discussion with a friend over lunch. He claims that the 100th film of any film artiste is jinxed and is bound to fail. He gave several examples and when I countered by saying Sivakumar, he said that the exception proved the rule.

    Anyway, let's use this as an excuse to compile a list of TF artistes 100th films. Please correct any of my errors and also add on to my list.

    MGR - Oli Vilakku
    Sivaji - Navarathri
    Rajini Kanth - Sri Ragavendra
    Kamalahassan - Raja Parvai
    K. Balachander - Parthale Paravasam
    Ilayaraja - Moodu Pani
    Sivakumar - Rosappoo Ravikkaikaari
    KR Vijaya - Nathayil Muthu
    Savithri - Konjum Salangai
    Jayachitra - Nayakarin Magal
    Satyaraj - Vathiyar Veetu Pillai
    Prabhu - Rajakumaran
    Sarathkumar - Thalai Magan
    Vijayakanth - Captain Prabhakaran
    Ramanarayanan - Thirupathi Ezhumazhai Vengedesa
    Saroja Devi - Pen Endral Pen
    Roja - Pottu Amman
    Arjun -Mannavaru Chinnavaru

    Even I had that doubt, in any case, it still holds a speical place for its uniqueness, and way out of the league (the 'then' tamil cinema was in)!

    I dont know Joe. It is not popularly remembered as a hit. Was it a 100 day film?
