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

[joe]

Hub is full of discussion on Actors .Why don't we discuss about great actress (not just glamour doll)

For me ,It is Nadigaiyar Thilagam Savithri :D

[swathy]

please include vyjeyanthi mala also

[MADDY]

how could u miss J.Jayalalitha??? for me she was the most powerful heroine of all times......i somehow love her guts, resilience, intelligence.......her acting in movies was also not bad...... :D

hope this is not considered a political post... :lol:

[groucho070]

Joe, here is where we have differing opinions. My vote is for Padhmini. Even before her passing, I have argued on behalf.

And Maddy is right about JJ. She is great too. As an actress. Plus, like Banumathi, she can sing as well.

[groucho070]

I think you should break the era. In eighties there was Revathi, Suhashini.

Then, there was an era from nineties onward - I refer as mute era for actress, because about 99% don't use their voice. I am sure fans of these mannequins will be mad for not including their sweethearts on that list.

[joe]

Groucho ,Maddy,
Is that ok now?

[swathy]

thanks joe :-)

[groucho070]

Okay, Joe. Looks good and specific.

[rajeshkrv]

My vote is for Savithiri and Sarojadevi

Sarojadevi could do romance,comedy & sentiment and easily gets accustomed with the hero she acts

while savithiri (romance with gg was ok) but with others was ?

[kb]

naan porakave illaba :yessir:

[joe]

Joe, here is where we have differing opinions. My vote is for Padhmini. Even before her passing, I have argued on behalf.


Padmini is ofcourse 2nd greatest,for me .Padmini had better physic and dancing talent .But being plumpy ,not much dancing talents Savithri made me to like her more with her

1.facial Expression (all her movies)
2.Humour (Navarathiri,especially in the koothu song)
3.Great Dialogue delivery (Thiruvilayadal)
4.Good at Sentiments (Pasamalar)

[joe]

naan porakave illaba :yessir:

You no need to born with savithri and padmini to know about them .You can still watch their movies.

[kb]

but.. u see the way people speak and behave changed.. if we see now.. we wont get the same effect as many of then fans..

though i see malai kallan,allaudin 40 thieves,thillana mohanabal. now and then.. not all movies bring same effect..

[umaramesh]

my vote for savithri.

padmini can dance to an exten she can perform but she is no way near to savithri in terms of variety and performance.

who will forget MAYA BAZAR DUAL ROLE PERFORMANCE.
Innocent role did in KSG movie. no need to tell about pasamalar.

regards
ramesh

[Roshan]

My ultimate choice is none other than 'Lakshmi' - who is 'surprisingly' not in the list. A great actress till date who can perform any role - which have mostly been realistic, contrary to the 'dramatic' performances of many listed above. Lakshmi has a rare combination of beauty, talent and strong personality - which most of the actresses lack till todate.

Joe,

It is an insult if you had not included such a talented actress, when you have included even Vaanishree there in your list. It is quite surprising too. Please do amend your list :)

Agree with you .Eventhough I admire Lakshmi a lot ,didn't strike in my mind ,since I was thinking about all heroins of balck and white era.

I have replaced vanisree with Lakshmi :)

[Ramyathangam]

Padmini amma for his beautiful dancing and facila expression. I ccould not forget the film thillana mokanambal

[MADDY]

hey thanx joe for including Jayalalitha......i guess she was one actress who had the ability to grab onscreen dominance even with legends like MGR,Shivaji.........another actress who comes to mind (as Groucho suggested) is Banumathi.......she also had the ability to dominate......

actually after these 2, i guess it was Simran only who could do that......i always felt saroja devi/padmini/devika were all submissive onscreen.....as u know, submissiveness is a big turn off nowadays....(though i fell in love with the bhoomika character in SOK :wink: )...........

[m_23_bayarea]

The thing abt JJ is that, she had this care-less or daring attitude even with MGR and Sivaji on screen ... While all other actresses especially with MGR are kinda timid, JJ doesnt CARE !!! :thumbsup: :lol:

[Nakeeran]

Nadigayar thilagam Savithri is my choice

[Nakeeran]

Well Nadigar thilagam is the greatest actor ever and my benchmarking is that if someone could challenge him in acting, it was Savitrhi only .

Movies :

1. Kai kodutha deivam
2. Navrathri
3. Pasamalar
4. Irumbu thirai

[raaja_rasigan]

I like kanchana for her beauty 8-)

[mr_karthik]

Irumbuthirai...???????????????

Where is Savithri there..?.

Oh. Is it that ratha thilagam or something ? some chinese aggression related movie . Savithri will die at the end.

[mr_karthik]

I like kanchana for her beauty 8-)
If anyone start a thread about the 'Beauty Actresses' of 60 to 75, my suggesstions are

Kanchana
Rajashree
Vennira Aadai Nirmala

[Hulkster]

Each one has their own unique impression.

KR Vijaya touched audience hearts with her realistic portrayal of the common family woman and also expresses sentiments very well which now inspires alot of megaserial "sad" characters.

Jayalalitha could play negativity in a character very well and was quite impressive in roles that demanded presence and also her penchant for dance also gave her a extra boost.

Jayanthi should also be added in as shes a fairly decent actress as well although she does not hold the expressions that savithri dazzled with.

To me i feel Padmini is much more versatile as although she slightly paled compared to savithri in normal human characters, She was much more powerful in movies with divine content. She could play the parashakthi role with ease in those days. But i prefer Savithri's more NT like impact of acting and i guess she is the best.

[Jilaba]

I think you should break the era. In eighties there was Revathi, Suhashini.

No Sir,

The poll says 'before 80'
But Suhasini came in Nenjaththai kllaathe' in 1981
and
Revathy came in Man vaasanai in 1983.

தேவிகாதான்

அது என்னமோ தெரியலை தேவிகான்னாலே ஒரு தனி அபிமானம். அவருக்கு பதிமினியைப் போல நடனம் ஆடத்தெரியாமல் இருக்கலாம் (தேவிகாவுக்கு அறவே நடனம் ஆடத் தெரியாது என்பது உண்மை). சாவித்திரியைப் போல அமைதியான நடிப்பை தர தவறியிருக்கலாம், விஜயகுமாரியைப் போல வீராவேசமாக பேசத்தெரியாமல் இருக்கலாம். ஆனால் கொடுத்த கதாபாத்திரத்தை குறவின்றி சிறப்பாகச் செய்பவர். வசீகரமான முகத்தோற்றம் கொணடவர். அவருடைய படங்களில் அவருடைய நடிப்பில் மிளிர்ந்த படங்கள்:

நெஞ்சில் ஓர் ஆலயம்
சுமைதாங்கி
நெஞ்சம் மறப்பதில்லை
வானம்பாடி
மறக்க முடியுமா
வாழ்க்கைப் படகு
இதயத்தில் நீ... இப்படி சொல்லிக்கொண்டே போகலாம்.

நடிகர் திலகத்துடன் ஏராளமான படங்களில் நடித்தவர். அவருடன் நடித்த படங்களில் சில:

பாவ மன்னிப்பு
பந்தபாசம்
அன்னை இல்லம்
ஆண்டவன் கட்டளை
அன்புக்கரங்கள்
நீலவானம்
சாந்தி
பழனி
பலேபாண்டியா
முரடன் முத்து
கர்ணன்
.............. பட்டியல் நீள்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு படத்திலும் குறை சொல்ல முடியாத, அதே சமயம் மனதுக்கு நிறைவாக செய்திருப்பார்.

நடிகர் திலகத்தோடு மட்டுமல்லாது ஜெமினி கணேஷ், எஸ்.எஸ்.ஆர். இவர்களோடும் பல படங்களில் நடித்தவர். எம்ஜியாரோடு நடித்த ஒரே படமான 'ஆனந்த ஜோதி'யிலும் சிறப்பாக செய்திருப்பார்.

"சொன்னது நீதானா"
"கங்கை கரை தோட்டம்"
"நெஞ்சம் மறப்பதில்லை"
"அமைதியான நதியினிலே"
"அலையே வா... அருகே வா"
"பாலிருக்கும் பழமிருக்கும்"
"கண்கள் எங்கே நெஞ்சமும் எங்கே"
"இரவும் நிலவும் வளரட்டுமே"
"காலமகள் கண் திறப்பாள் சின்னையா"
"நினைக்கத் தெரிந்த மனமே உனக்கு"

போன்ற பாடல்களுக்கு அவர் காட்டும் முகபாவம் அற்புதம்.

கர்ணன் போர்க்களம் போகும்போது, மஞ்சள் நிற சேலையில் தலையை அவிழ்த்துப் போட்டுக்கொண்டு வரும் அழகே அழகு.

என்னுடைய ஓட்டு எனது தேவிகாவுக்கே.

[ramky]

Difficult to choose between Padmini & Savithri, but finally I voted for Savithri - she did the comedy scene in "Mayabazar" with such elan, where she was supposedly Gatothkachan in female form ! :thumbsup:

உஷா மேடம்,

லட்சுமி, பானுமதி இவங்கள்ளாம் சில நேரங்களில் பாத்திரப் படைப்பு தாண்டி ஓவரா அலட்டிக்குவாங்க. கவனிச்சீங்களா?.

அதிலும் படங்களில் ஆண்களை திட்டி வசனம் பேசுவதென்றால் லட்சுமிக்கு அல்வா சாப்பிடுவது மாதிரி. 'ஒரு நடிகை நாடகம் பார்க்கிறாள்' படத்தில் ரொம்ப ஓவராகவே அலம்பல் பண்ணுவார். ஆனால் ஜெயலலிதா அலட்சியமாக நடிப்பாரே தவிர ஆர்ப்பாட்டம் செய்ய மாட்டார். (நான் ஜெயலலிதாவுக்குத் தான் போட்டேன்).

சாரதா மேடம்..

பரவாயில்லையே "உங்க தேவிகா" இரண்டாம் இடத்தில் பத்மினியோடு சமமாக இருக்கிறாரே. தேவிகாவுக்கு அவ்வளவு ஆதரவா?. அவரது ரசிகர்களும் தேவிகாவைப்போல அமைதியாகவே இருக்கிறார்களே.

நாடோடி மன்னியும், புன்னகை அரசியும், பூம்புகார் கண்ணகியும் இன்னும் பூஜ்யத்திலேயே இருக்கிறார்களே ஏன்?.

[lovedeva_pj]

for me padmasri padmabhusan SAROJADEVISarojadevi's performance in her role is very natural not over acting
Some best actress did very well in some perticular role but sarojadevi did very well in love seens, in failore of love feelings, as loving hose wife, as loving daughter like in many role dhe did very attractive and sentimental.
only some mgr films her acting is normal but she even their also she satisfied her fans by commeady and by best solo songs
Sarojadevi did very well in her solo songs, u can notice in her most film there should be one solo songs specially for sarojadevi
Sarojadevi is the only south indian actress got padmabusoon award, and she maitain her top state for many decades
So i select Padmabhuson SAROJADEVI IS THE GREATEST ACTRESS

LOVEDEVA

[lotus_303]

You are right Deva, Sarojadevi is the best actress, her acting always super natural never go to over acting
and she is the only actress got padmabhosan award in Soth india
She is the greatest actress

[kalnayak]

Savithri for her Kaikodutha Deivam, Missiamma, Paasamalar and Mayabazaar.

[Badri]

Sabaash, Joe, sariyaana topic!

As an actress, one has to admire Savithri's versatility, and sheer screen presence, leave alone her beauty. Her performances in Missiamma and Paasamalar and the oh-so-cheeky role in Mayabazaar definitely leave us floored.

At the same time, can one leave out Padmini? Vizhiyaley vidai koorum paavai allava?

But, Roshan's timely intervention brought Lakshmi on to the stage (here). She is an enigma, her acting doesn't stand out but that is not because of a lack of talent, rather the talent in easily blending into the scene and not standing out. To me, her natural acting is reminiscient in many ways of Kamal's style.

These three really get my vote!

[Raghu]

My ultimate choice is none other than 'Lakshmi' - who is 'surprisingly' not in the list. A great actress till date who can perform any role - which have mostly been realistic, contrary to the 'dramatic' performances of many listed above.

Joe,

yep,

I fully agree with Roshan!

[TamilMoon]

JJ :redjump: :bluejump:

[RVG]

My vote is for Savithri since she's the one who can match Shivaji's acting. And that's why she's also called Nadigayar Thilagam.

[fakedevi]

my vote is for Great actress Sarojadevi, since she is the only actress from south india got very highly national award like Padmabushan.
her best performance in many films un countable not only in tamil all south indian language
Here are some

Palum Palamum
Aadiperukku
Kulavelakku
Thamareinenjam
Kittor rani chinnama (kannada) she got national award
Bakiyavantheru (kannada)

Long live Sarojadevi

[Shakthiprabha.]

Saroja devi..

She knows when to act kiddish, when to act matured, when to bat her eye lashes, when to feel shy, when to be majestic.. when to talk, when not to talk, HOW NOT TO OVERACT...

she is better than most actresses of those days

THAAMARAI NENJAM
KALYAANA PARISU
ANBE VAA
PAALUM PAZHAMUM
AADI PERUKKU
KAIKODUTHA DEIVAM

etc are FEW of her movies which shows some of her greatest performances.

[selvakumar]

Saroja devi..

She knows when to act kiddish, when to act matured, when to bat her eye lashes, when to feel shy, when to be majestic.. when to talk, when not to talk, HOW NOT TO OVERACT...


SP akka,

I hope you are not indirectly initiating a FIGHT Here ! :lol:

[selvakumar]

SP, You were a bit absent from TF section ! Good to see you back here ! :D

[Shakthiprabha.]

hehe selva thanks. :D

[bingleguy]

Savitri ...
MY CHOICE !
She is absolutely awesome ..... Wonderful acting and has almost performed with all the major artistes ... no wonder she was called Nadigayar Thilagam ..... Excellent performances .......


Saroja devi..

Absolutely she is a very good actress !
but romba konji konji pesuvaanga, kind of overaction .....
Pudhiya Paravai layum nalla nadichiruppaanga ..... Paalum Pazhamum is also good ! Vaanambadi movie layum nalla perform panni ruppaanga ....

Sowkar Janaki
A very good character artiste..... she has also matched many qualities of multi personality acting.... i dont remember the movie names ... but many of her movies are really different characterizations ....

Padmini
Excellent dancer and good on expressions.... Thillana Mohanambal is one of my favourites of Padmini

Devika
Again a good character artiste .... Bale Pandiya, Nenjam Marappadhillai is my choices for devika

Jayanthi
She is also good in characters .... she did well in kannada industry too
Edhir Neechal is one of her good performances - my choice again !

and needless to mention LAKSHMI
She has been an awesome performer in many movies ... though not many of her earlier movies didnt succeed, she is very known for her characters .... Samsaram adhu minsaram, Raja Raja Chozhan,Netrikann is on of my favourites

[imsai]

HOW NOT TO OVERACT...


:roll: did she act with? :roll:

[Shakthiprabha.]

JAYANTHI is good bg :thumbsup:

enakku eno savithri pidikathu (she was not versatile, niraiya subtle feminine roles mattum thaan pannirupaanga..) may be i am wrong

yup LAKSHMI too :thumbsup:

sowcar janaki. good. was not very attractive, VERY VERSATILE....

Savithri, padmini, s.janiki, laksmi etc... OVER ACTING undu.

I could not find that in jayanthi, or saroja devi (though she acted childish)

[selvakumar]

Have to I agree with SP akka here 100% !

Saroja Devi is one of my favorite actresses !

The way she speaks, smiles, turns her face and emotes is :thumbsup: :clap:

IMO, She is one of the Natural Actresses I have seen in Tamil cinema. I remember a movie she acted with Gemini in which she will die coz of some diesease. Her acting in that movie was :clap: I dont remember the movie name though !

Plus - PURATCHI THALAIVAR - Saraoja Devi pair rocked big time in the silver screen AS Far as Commercial cinema is concerned. IMO, she is the only actress who matched perfectly with MGR !

My Vote Goes to Her without any doubt :thumbsup:

[Designer]

Difficult for me, to choose between Padmini & Savithri, but finally I voted for Savithri - she did the comedy scene in "Mayabazar" with such elan, where she was supposedly Gatothkachan in female form ! :thumbsup:

PAALUM PAZHAMUM
AADI PERUKKU
KAIKODUTHA DEIVAM

sp Comments 100% correct

Sarojadevi is the best actress can perform any kind of role with natural acting, her face expression and body language are excellent, only her tamil accent in some dialogue little chilidsh
but even that type of dialog people like that.
And she is the only actress got many professional national award like Padmabushan award

[rajeshkrv]

selva, the movie you r referring is Kulavilakku by K.S.G

yup Sarojadevi is the one actress who suited for all the 3 (MGR,Shivaji,GEMINI) and suited for all kind of roles..starting from romance,comedy to emotion

Paalum pazhamum, pagapirivinai, iruvar ullam for emotion

sabash meena,anbe va ,enga veetu pillai for comedy

arasakattalai for historic performance

[fakedevi]

why sowcar janaki not in the list if u include jayalalitha jayamaleni also can include.

u Cant list jayalalitha in the talented actress list
if u make list for most corupted person in india then she got 100%
hole india knows that

she is wml lady

[smith]

saroja devi was a fairly good actress but she had poor tamil pronunuciation.

Also, she did not act in sabash meena.

As for the greatest actresss on tamil screen, it is without doubt, savithri.

[Erica]

I've not watched many old movies. i like Savithri and Devika. I voted for DEVIKA bcos,................. She resembles my mom a lot :D

[rajeshkrv]

smith

if you have not seen sabash meena please see it again..

Shivaji's pair is ranjini or some name and Sarojadevi is chandrababu's pair.. They have a stage drama song too.

[pjtheva-51]

For me Padmabushan Dr.Sarojadevi

She is the alltime great actress with hughe fan support in the south india cinema history

Kalyanaparisu
palumapalamum
Adiperukku
Iruvatullam
Anbevaa
Thamaerainenjam
Kulavelakku
Arasakatalai
Pathumathapandham
all these are super great performance in different years from 1959 to 1974

even her performance in oncemore also good released in 1997

[Shakthiprabha.]

yeahhhhhhh!!

Sarojadevi !! all the way !

:D :D :thumbsup:

[kamath]

sarojadevi?

That is a good laugh.

She was not a patch on savithri.

Savithri is the greatest actress in tamil film industry.

[lotus_303]

sarojadevi?

That is a good laugh.

She was not a patch on savithri.

Savithri is the greatest actress in tamil film industry.

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Very sad
Savitiri didnt got any national award

Sarojadevi is the all time greatest in south cinema

[kamath]

even sivaji did not get a national award.

That is no criterion.

[Shakthiprabha.]

Sarojadevi created impact on wider mass than just tamil media...

how sad... savithri did not make it so large..

[lovedeva_pj]

even sivaji did not get a national award.

That is no criterion.

You are wrong Sivaji got Padmabushan

Here is the highst national award recipients

National Awards recipients ( Artists ) in South Cinema
M G Ramachandran ------- Bharatratna --------1988
M S Subbulashmi ---------- Bharatratna -------- 1998
Sivajiganesan ------=-------- Padma Bushan ---- 1984
B Saroja devi -------------- Padma Bushan ----- 1992
Rajinikanth ------------------ Padma Bushan ---- 2000

[kamath]

as can be clearly seen from the list, the last 2 are totally undeserving recipients.

[thilak4life]

@topic,

Shoba (I know that she didn't do that many, but she tops the list) followed by Savithri, Sri priya, and Sri Devi..

[lovedeva_pj]

Tamil people are spoiling the artists, their taste are dramatic not natural thats way they didnt got much national awards

Sarojadevi got it for Kannada cinema

even sivaji got later than other state artists

Thats sad for Tamil they never accept but they sympliy critise

[kamath]

lovedeva,

U have a terrific sense of humour.

[Shakthiprabha.]

So rajnikant also does not deserve! ?

wow, ur sense of humour ROCKS the top!

[kamath]

Rajini may be a very popular star, that does not make him worthy of padma bushan.

[Shakthiprabha.]

hmm... :)

[saradhaa_sn]

hmm... :)

இது என்ன கமெண்ட்..?
இதுக்கு என்ன அர்த்தம்..?

[Shakthiprabha.]

ஓரளவு ஒத்துக்கறென்னு அர்த்தம் :D

இன்றைய தலைமுறையினருக்கு ரஜினிகாந்தின் திறமைமிக்க படங்கள் பற்றி தெரிய வாய்ப்பில்லை.

ரஜினிகாந்த் ஒரு அற்புதமான நடிகர், ஆனாலும் இன்னும் பல அற்புதமான நடிகர்கள் இருந்திருக்கிறார்கள். ரஜினிகாந்த்-ன் அருமையான திறமை முழுவதையும் தமிழ்த் திரையுலகம் பயன்படுத்த தவறிவிட்டது என்பது என் எண்ணம். இன்னும்

As this is about "before 80's", Sridevi needs to be included:-) During 80's she mostly did Telugu and then Hindi, but some of her good movies in Thamizh were in 70's...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sridevi

[kamath]

Shakthi,

I know well abt the films U talked abt. U mentioned only one - 6 to 60, but there are a few others - mullum malarum, thappu thalangal, engeyoe keeta kural.

But they are far & few in between.

I also agree that his talent has not been utilised fully. It will also not be in the future.

The award was given to him for political reasons.

Ditto with MGR (national best actor award for rickshawkaran).

[Plum]

My ultimate choice is none other than 'Lakshmi' - who is 'surprisingly' not in the list. A great actress till date who can perform any role - which have mostly been realistic, contrary to the 'dramatic' performances of many listed above. Lakshmi has a rare combination of beauty, talent and strong personality - which most of the actresses lack till todate.

Joe,

It is an insult if you had not included such a talented actress, when you have included even Vaanishree there in your list. It is quite surprising too. Please do amend your list :)

I have watched many Black and white and colour movies between 60 TO 80

In solo heroine songs with maximum expression in face and perfect matching with voice sweetness and vibration.

with face beauty showing on Screesn it is only from " Perazagi DEVIKA"

in each movies minimum two solo songs for our Devika were reserved. All were Super Hit Songs.

My best is " Vazhaninaithal Vazhalam " in Balepandya (With Scientist Sivaji Ganesan)

நெஞ்சில் ஓர் ஆலயம்
சுமைதாங்கி
நெஞ்சம் மறப்பதில்லை
வானம்பாடி
மறக்க முடியுமா
வாழ்க்கைப் படகு
இதயத்தில் நீ... இப்படி சொல்லிக்கொண்டே போகலாம்.

நடிகர் திலகத்துடன் ஏராளமான படங்களில் நடித்தவர். அவருடன் நடித்த படங்களில் சில:

பாவ மன்னிப்பு
பந்தபாசம்
அன்னை இல்லம்
ஆண்டவன் கட்டளை
அன்புக்கரங்கள்
நீலவானம்
சாந்தி
பழனி
பலேபாண்டியா
முரடன் முத்து

Padmini is ofcourse 2nd greatest,for me .Padmini had better physic and dancing talent .But being plumpy ,not much dancing talents Savithri made me to like her more with her

1.facial Expression (all her movies)
2.Humour (Navarathiri,especially in the koothu song)
3.Great Dialogue delivery (Thiruvilayadal)
4.Good at Sentiments (Pasamalar)

How many years now, 6? Joe, I agree with you now wholeheartedly. I wish I could change my vote now. Sorry mr_Karthik, but I yam still yuvar club (Devika) member, boss.

and she carried herself well in private as well a True Real Star
If she carried herself - a feat that MGR and Sivaji, with all their strength, probably found difficult - she is a medical miracle, let alone a True Real Star. Honouring the power and strength she has, can we call her the "True Power Star", your honour?

P.S: I really hate this "carried himself well" phrase. Newtonin vidhikku muraNAnadhu alalvA? Invented by half-witted fashion nazis, who, obviously, lack basic intelligence and wanted to sound something really intelligent I suppose.
PPS: NOV, dont react to the above as if I have slurred you. I dont mean to insult you - I am insulting the inventor of the phrase. I dont censure the users of that phrase. They are to be pitied, not censured, as Jeeves would say.

[Plum]

With MGR she sizzled with NT & Gemini she was subtle and performed equally with them

:shock: - threesome, nay foursome. Which movie? Please tell me so I can avoid it. Threesome/foursome sounds an interesting concept. Especially, if the 3 males involved area as handsome and watchable as MGR, NT and GG. But SD, thanks but no thanks.

Difficult to choose between Padmini & Savithri, but finally I voted for Savithri - she did the comedy scene in "Mayabazar" with such elan, where she was supposedly Gatothkachan in female form ! :thumbsup:

She disappears into her roles to the point that you can't pick something up to mimic. Mimic artist pick up the worst of the artist they are mimicking, SD is an easy target.

Saroja Devi is one of the most successful female film stars in the history of Indian cinema and she was at her peak as the main female lead in many films.
Saroja Devi received Padma Bhushan, third highest civilian award, in 2002
In 1969, she was honoured with the Padma Sri, the fourth-highest civilian honour, by the Government of India.

Nata Kreeti Rajendra Prasad was a fan of Devi Saroja? News to me but quite possible. He is about 60 years of age now. Must have grown up in the era where Devi Saroja was the glamour queen. As I said my father's generation - rasanai ketta mummy daddies :)

Even In Kulamgal Radai scenes were thrilling only with Devika and not with Sarojadevi. My favourite actress ia always Devika with Sivaji


Her films might have not been so succeesful like with NT AND SAROJADEVI. but Saroja devi irritating acting is the worst part of it.




Some bad luck with Devika, few films commercilaaly not done in the first round She is most siited to Sivaji. Kindly delete sarojadevi. Her acting with sivaji not liked by me. I'M Sivaji and Devika admirer .

NOV - Saroja Devi is an iconic Kannada actress. Probably the most succesful ever from Kannada screen. Good connections with Dr Rajkumar I guess. She apparently is a good citizen who gets on well with everyone and has a very traditonally apprecfiable personal life. Unsurprisingly, Successive Karnataka govts have recommended her for padma honours.
Savitri - great actress but hardly any contacts(barring sambar ganesan). Didn't live a model life either - kudi kootthu drugs etc. No wonder that Andhra governments didn't fall over to recommend her for padma honours. That's how awards work. This doesn't mean much to me. Perhaps we can judge that devi rosa was more of a good citizen of the country and more conventionally acceptable. These awards aren't for acting prowess. Not that Savithri or Devika have many awards.

She was really a beautiful lady. Sarojadevi is a kind hearted woman. avangalaiyum naan neril paarthirukken ( of course, she was in a hospital after a surgery.. so...:: )

[NOV]

comparing devika with saroja devi is just to make devika bigger than she actually is.... its like comparing simbu with rajni kanth
saroja devi should be compared with the likes of padmini while devika should be compared with sachu

[lotus_303]

Sarojadevi is the best of all actress from the beginning of south cinema till today in all concern fansupport, beauty and talent
`1. fansuppart: her fansupport is huge difference when compaire with others like padmint or savitri, her peek period is neary 20 years in 60's all most all producers willing to put sarojadevi as heroine in their films due to this some producers gave her more money than superstars (hero) even now many like to see her films and songs her her fansupport has no limts
2 beayty : she is really saraswathy her colour is donker but colour give no marks for beauty
ஒரு பெண்ணின் அழகு எல்லா அம்சம் நிறைந்து பரிணமித்தது இவரிடம் மட்டும்தான்
3"talent'; Very natural acting her performance always super otherwise i say "Idenentification with the charactor" there are many examples for that. she express the acting with few words more facial and body expression thats way she recomended nation wide other than savitri or Padmini.
extra talent ; her every single movement wheather in songs or with co stars not only with hero also with father role she makes fully entrainment for the audience


So sarojadevi is uncompairetable for this era in south cinema

[lotus_303]

Venkiram sir,

Your order should be like this....

Devika
Devika
Devika
Savithri
Padmini


Mr karthik iT CANT BE TRUE IF u AND SOME ONE OR 2 IN THIS THREAD SAYS,
SAROJADEVI, PADMINI, SAVITRI THESE THRE ARE THE NO1 ACTRESS IN SOUTH CINEMA THAT IS WHOLE CINE WORLD KNOWS
AFTER THAT KR VIJAYA AND JAYALALITHA 2ND PLACE IN CINE FIELD
DEVEKA LAKSHMI VIJAYAKUMAI ARE 3RD PLACE IN CINE FIELD
THIS IS EVERY ONE KNOWS
U CAN LIKE DEVEKA THAT IS NO PROBLEM BUT U CANT CHAGE THE TRUTH

ONE THING U HAVE TO KNOW DEVIKA ACT MOST AS 2ND HEROINE THAN HEROINE

Eg; PAAVAMANIPU, PANTHAPASAM,KARNAN,KULMAGALRATHAI, AADIPERUKKU,SANTHY,AND ALL DEVOTIONAL FILM AND MANY

=====================================
that is correct sarojadevi and savitri did well all kinds of role and they proved themself

Sarojadevi continously act in later period in many commandable role like kulavealkky, malathy, Pathumatha pantham and gave super performance

Unfortunately savitri didn't act in later period due to her body structure and some external problem

These two are really legends in south cinema

I cant understand why devika comes here may be some one argue in future Puspalatha and sachu are the best

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.

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

[Plum]

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.

Devika's face is not retained in memory...so tried to google search the image...out of the 100's of images that show up, it's very difficult to spot the actress :roll: The only black and white image that comes up must be her :lol2:

OTOH, do google images for JJ / SD / Savithri, most results are for the respective actresses.

So, hub result of 1/2/3 is not too deviated from the general net content...

[Plum]

app - JJ and SD are aNNis for a ceratin actor fans. adhilum JJ was AsthAna aNNi and imprinted herself so strongly in the minds of fans that they selected her as the vaarisu for aNNan. bayangara following among those fans even before she jumped into politics and became CM.

Their popularity is mainly due to association with THAT ACTOR rather than with NT. The bolded word mainly should hopefully stop the minority fans from shouting out that "Oh who said ppl like SD for that actor only. I like her for herself and her charm". But i predict ppl will not even understand this paragraph and come with the same rebuttal which I have pre-emptively rebutted :lol:

Sure, they also did act with NT - and since poovodu sErndha nArum maNakkum, they ended up with a few movies that can be quoted as proof of their "acting prowess"
And then the strong directors who want to prove that they can make even stone act, they utilie them for one or two movies in tragedy mode an dit is claimed that they are great actors.

idhu kAla kAlamA nadakkaRadhu dhAn. At the peak of her popularity as glamour doll, Khushboo did movies with KB and BR to prove her acting credentials(That backfired adhu vERa vishayam. She lost her market as glamour doll and these movies didnt do much for her as a performer). KB and BR? Their motivation was to prove that they are so good they can make even glamour dolls do deglam roles in their movies.

In SD's case, KB's thaamarai nenjam is one such attempt from KB> Sure, she was better than she was in MGR films. But is that saying much? Wha thappens is ppl take this relative fact, and tout it as "Oh SD was outstanding in Thaamarai nenjam". It was just a slow tempo variant of "Gopallll", her acting in the movie.

According to some people, mimicry artistes imitating is you is a gauge of popularity :rotfl:. appO VS Raghavan is the most popular character artiste ever?

Anyone having a unique (good or bad) style will be imitiated. Evn for Sivaji Ganesan, the mimicry artistes pick his worst "ennaiYA sonna, adadE" mode of 80s and Kamal is usually mimicked for his nayagan cry(and not in flattering terms, it is intended as mock). This is par for the course for those thespians as they have touche dthe whole range of acting styles and these performances were deliberately done.

However in the case of SD, Sivakumar and VS Raghavan, their default mode is laughworthy and is mimicked and mocked the most. To equuate this with Kamal and Sivaji being mimicked is disingenuous and naive.

I have said this before - there is something called degree. Usually, people ignore this factor and say "MSV copied one song, Veda copied 100 but copying means copying so both are same". The same people are the ones who will equate NT and SD, Kamal and VS Raghavan, just because they are both mimicked.

I am not even sure that in their naive minds, they'll even see this. I can only put it out for their self-understanding.

you are right rajeshkrv her performance from klaynaparisu were superbup she has proved her talent in many films
mainly kalyanaparisu and palum palamum her performance is chalange with hero and she done perfect
the name vasanthi santhy is toomuch influed among the audiance , many babyies born in that period with these names at this level her performance was taken to the audiance thats alone is enough to prove her talent

not only these two films
panihtherai Valarpirai Aadiperukku Kulamahlrathai, Iruvarullan are all excellent performance
Mgr is a no1 actor in cinefileld in 60's SD get more offer to act with mgr so she has to aceept that offers so she has les chance for other films
In mgr films heroine has no chance to prove their talent after puthiyaparavi (1964) she didnt act with other heroes only with MGR ,
after her marriage SHE act in all big directors like KSG, KB, P MATHEVAN with commandable role all are excellent performance
