The Legends of Tamil Cinema :p

Ok.. i was tempted to write this blog when i was searching for nursery rhymes for my kid in you tube and guess what i found in the first search result????!!
Vaada en machi... vazhaka bajji..
un udamba pichi.. potuduven bajji!!!
Vera yarum illa.. namba T.R uncle dan... mudiala!!! :)

So here goes.. The legends of our tamil cinema...
(Guys for whom this is out of syllabus, please forgive me!!)


Gaptun Vijayakanth (In his style :p)
Our own captain.. sorry Gaptun..
Enna style.. Enna gethu... hmmmm
What an english.. what an english.....
The man is a legend (cue for gaptun, gaptun chants). He has been a one man army, killer of terrorists using mere eye contact, the hidden gem of the Indian army, pigeon trainer and a pink blazer with leopard print shirt wearing fashion icon all IN THE SAME MOVIE.
One of his all time famous dialogue.. "Eieiei do what i say"
This particular dialogue stands for everything that is Gaptun - power, command and most importantly STYLE. See the way he enters into the scene with aplomb, and captures your attention with his rendition of the line "Yeny odhar inbarmayson pass it to me" and displays his mad geographical knowledge of India by citing regions like Banchkula. Did you even know there was a Banchkula before Gaptun said so? Touch your heart. If you were aware, then you either wrote the dialogues in the movie or you're a cold hearted liar. Notice the authority in his voice when he says "Mister Asog" and the extreme strategic skyllz when he asks his subordinate to "block all yentry points espesally from Delhi locayson". But the piece de resistance (and I'm sure Mr.Asog will agree, aam sir) has to be Gaptun's execution of "Eieieidowhatisay". The greatness of this dialogue is naturally the tone - casual, but commanding. Friendly, but professional. Don't be surprised if Eieieidowhatisay is included in Harvard's MBA syllabus soon.

Namba T.R... Ye dandanaka.. ye danakunaka :)

T.R has been rocking the tamil film industry from the day he has stepped in. His famous punch dialogues, sister sentiment (tangachi........) has been a super duper hit at once... aana evlo mudiyum manushangalala...!!!

Motathula.. He is a COMPLETE MAN..!!!!
Enna koduma sir idhu....!!!!!!!

Gowndamani.. Start meesic... :)
Gowndamani-Senthil has always been a very popular comedy jodi in tamil cinema.. starting from their vazhaipazham joke in karagatakaran... they both have had some truely very good jokes..
One of the best stuffs of Gowndamani is in the movie Suryan.. His "comedy track" had no relevance to the actual story, thus complying with Tamil Cinema rules, and not surprisingly, became the sole reason for the film's success. 90% of the people who saw Suriyan won't remember the hero or the heroine or the plot. They will only remember Gounder. I doubt any other movie had as many phrases quoted from it including "Who is that disturbance" "Arasiyalla idhelaam sagajam appa!" and "Sathyasodhanai". And of course the "Start Meesic" makes the starting point of the Tamil pop culture movement and Gounder its founding father!!!
