Prabhu Ganesan - Charismatic, Affable and Underrated.

[equanimus]

Prabhu is very good in 'Guru Sishyan' too. It's a Rajini show alright, but Prabhu holds his own. "Aah, vErkkudhu, vErkkudhu!" Ha ha, it's a schlock classic!

Raakesh,

A good and a deserving thread for a deserving actor.

With so many hits and so many kind words being spoken, you are bang on target when you said that everyone likes Prabhu. With Selva and Joe yet to come in, more nice things will follow suit.

Let me come back to this thread after some time. But before signing off, some roles that flashed through my mind (other than what people have mentioned) are

Oruvar Vaazhum Aalayam

Uthhama Purushan

Manasukkul Mathhaappu (forgetting "One -- & Thalavattom")

Megam Karuthirukku

Kaliyugam

Priyanka (here I felt he was better than Sunny Deol)

Panchalankurichi

And on the hilarious side, there were many

Kaavalan avan Kovalan

Raja Kaiyai Vachha

Vietnam colony (forgetting Mohanlal)

Thedinan Vandhadhu

Some emotional cum action flicks like

En Thangachi Padichhava

Pillaikkaaga

Naalaiya Seidhi

Dharma Seelan (Inspector role)

For a starter here are my favourite Prabhu films in rating order.

1.Uzhavan (Powerful, one of the greatest performance ever)
2.Agni Natchatiram (Volcanic, underplaying with fire)
3.Duet (Emotional, lessons on how to suffer quietly)
4.Aruvadai Naal (Tragic, organic, tear-jerking)
5.Guru Sishyan (Silly fun, comic chemistry of two leads never seen again)
6.Vetri Vizha (Fun balance to a taut thriller)
7.Sathanai (Shades of real artistic father son relationship)
8.Chinna Mappilai (Good Crazy Mohan farce)
9.Palaivana Rojakkal (Tough guy in a Kalaignar written good script)
10. Chinnathambi (Soul of the otherwise pedestrian movie)

I liked his acting in Arangetravelai with Revathy... He was very hilarious!
But he was pathetic in Vasool Raja!

will post later about my choices.

Rakesh,

Just as your title suggests he was not only under rated but his BO success was also not properly brought out. Let me point out that.

One thing that he shared with his father was or shall we say that he went one step ahead was the BO success rate in a year. If NT was " Hero - 72", Prabhu was definitely "Hero - 88". In that year he had 14 releases, out of which 12 were successful in the sense they ran for 100 days and more. Prabhu's List of 1988 was

1. En Uyir Kannamaa - 100 Days

2. Kaalaiyum Neeye Maalaiyum Neeye - 50 Days

3. Urimai Geetham - 100 Days

4. Oruvar Vaazhum Aalayam - 100 Days

5. Agni Nakshathiram - 175 Days (25 weeks)

6. Guru Shishyan - More than 125 Days (but was it a Silver?)

7. Manasukkul Mathaapoo - 100 days

8. En Thangachi Padichhava - 100 Days

9. Rathha Dhanam - 100 Days

10. Dharmathin Thalaivan - 100 Days

11. Poo vizhi Raaja - 100 Days

12. Kaliyugam - 100 days

12. Anjatha Singam (started in 1983 but released in 1988)

14. Manamagale Vaa - 100 Days.

Needless to say that no Hero in Tamil film world had achieved such a feat. Again like NT, Prabhu also did the double of releasing two films on the same day with both crossing 100 days.

1986 Deepavali - Aruvadai Naal & Paalaivana Rojakkal - 100 Days

1988 Deepavali - Poo Vizhi Raja & Kaliyugam - 100 Days.

Will come back later.
