This is a proof for how Shobha might have ruled the hearts of the lady audience of those days. I have lost the count on the number of times my mother blamed balu mahendra for her death. Ennapaa ithu.. ! The words will also come out of frustration and genuine care for Shobha. (everytime)

[Sanguine Sridhar]

Bhanupriya, Shoba, <= Vaali Simran apparam soppana sundari Shreya :clap: :yes:

[complicateur]

So many replies and yet none on Revathy ! I really like the range of her performances be it the early Kai Kodukkum Kai/Mouna Raagam years or the later Marupadiyum/Avathaaram/Ab tak Chappan years. She is also fantastic in her Malayalam movies - Kaattathe KiLikkoodu by Bharathan and Devasuram where she really holds her own against Lal, Nedumudi Venu and Innocent, are just 2 examples.

Rohini is another thinking actress who does justice to what is given to her. She really got scant respect in the early years but to do both Magalir mattum and Virumandi shows a certain level of skill.

Oorvasi is without a doubt the top choice when it comes to comedic skills.

I enjoy specific performances by Shobhana. Her dance abilities served her well in Manichithrathazhu, but as a stoic spinster in Pakshe she is excellent.

[Roshan]

selva :yes: :rotfl:

Roshan, Of all the ladies Jyothika, please give me a break :lol2:

So what ? :evil: She is an angel compared to the strippers like Shreya and Nayan :evil:

Selva,

Dont worry I would not talk about Thamanna. puthusA entha heroine vanthaalum adhu unga favourite - at least sila naatkaLukkunnu enakku theriyum :mrgreen:

[directhit]

My fav in the recent list is Simran (Vaali/Parthen Rasithen/Kannathil Muthamittal/PKS/Priyamanavale)/Meera Jasmine in Run (more for her roles in Malayalam), Jyothika (Mozhi/Perazhagan/Kaaka Kaaka/Dumm Dumm Dumm/Kushi/Mugavari) and Shalini (Kadhalukku Mariyadhai/Alaipayuthey and some movies in Malayalam)

In the not so recent - Revathi (Anjali/Mouna Ragam/Marupadiyum/Devar Magan/Arangetravelai/Kizhakku Vasal/Punnagai Mannan and many more in Malayalam), Amala (Vettrivizha/Agninatchathiram/Mella Thirandhadhu Kadhavu), Shobana(Manichithrathazhu and lots more in Malayalam and Thalapathi), Sridevi(Moonram Pirai/16 Vayadhinile/Sigappu Rojakkal/Johnny etc) and Suhasini (Sindhu Bhairavi/En Bommukutty Ammavukku/Palaivana Solai)

Havent seen any movies of Shobha fully - but i've seen some scenes of her - very good actress and yeah in my house too the KWA episode of BM was showered with 'praises' :P

Apart from that some roles immediately coming to mind are Girija in Geethanjali/Asin in Ghajini/Aishwarya Rai :P (brahmin girl) in Jeans/Laila in Pithamagan/Bhanupriya in Azhagan and Thalapathi/Priyamani in Paruthiveeran/Thamanna in Kalloori/Gouthami in Kuruthipunal/Oorvasi in MMKR etc etc

[Wibha]

So what ? :evil: She is an angel compared to the strippers like Shreya and Nayan :evil:

Revathi is a decent actress but not a great performer. I think she is a bit over rated. Rohini .. :? Oorvasi is good at comedy.

I dont know how I missed Saritha in my favourite list. Really talented and her voice modulation is :thumbsup: Nool vEli, achchamillai achchamillai, thaNNeer thaNNeer, agni saatchi, mounga geethangaL ippadi niRaiya movies'la different'a paNNi irukkaanga.

I dont know how I missed Saritha in my favourite list.

Saritha was pretty good in Agni Saatchi (one of my favorite MSV songs kanaa kaanum kangal rendu...).

The reason I put Rohini up is, she doesnt get her due. I think she is very good in the few challenging roles she was offered MagaLir Mattum, Marupadiyum (I think she is nearly as good as Smita Patil in the original which is saying something) and Virumandi.

decent actress not a great performer? Why the distinction? And I think she is far better than decent. In fact Panjavarnam by itself should lift her well above the "decent" category.

Manorama, Shoba, Revathy (till she starts to annoy), Lakshmi (till she starts to annoy), Shobana,

:thumbsup: The bigger and bolded name is easily the most talented, and hence, the most wasted (rather unfortunately)

Personally, I'd tick off Achi. Never really impressed other than handful of films. Her performance quite easily annoy me. Perhaps a good model for future comedy actresses with limited talent to get a lasting name with a routine set of well accepted histrionics and dialAk delivery. The way she shifts her gear in emotional roles, is only slightly less annoying than Lakshmi, and slightly less typical than KR Vijaya's crying.

[P_R]

Amid being sexually assaulted by villains and heros alike, pouring the lungs out on the essence of Tamilness and being rescued by supermen, and crying (perhaps over all this mess), our screen ladies struggle to get chances to 'perform'. Here is a list of some who impressed me the most in what little scope they got:

1) Savitri: She had everything. Melodrama - here you go. Comedy - take that. All as if she wasn't even making a big effort about it. From what little I have seen of her work, I am convinced she is the only one who can ably cross swords with Sivaji.

For eg.: I don't think any actress anywhere can ever do the Sathyavan-Savithri skit in Navarathri. You don't even need a time handicap to enjoy that today. She is acting within acting when she does that - when most heroines struggle to act once in their entire career. Best by a distance.

2) Padmini: One of the most underrated actresses - just because she was an awesome dancer and was gorgeous. So many scenes and so many movies where she dominated the scenes. She had it all. She could be over-the-top melodramatic but also subtle and expressive with her expressions and modulations.

3) Shoba: Nizhal Nijamagiradhu is perhaps the best debut in Tamil.Mullum Malarum and AzhiyAdha KolangaL were competent performances too. Haven't seen Pasi but can safely declare she is right up there. Must admit the ranking factors certain "what ifs"

4) Sridevi: A competent actress from the start, she dished out several good performances as she grew. Meendum Kokila and Moondram PiRai for a taste of her diversity.

5) Saritha: Ok subtract irritating KB-ness and you would still see so much in her, no pun intended.

6) Urvasi: Was Munthanai Mudichchu her debut - then easily one of the best talents ever. Amazing fluency in her acting not to mention her excellence in comedy -MMKR oNNE pOdhum.

7) Khushboo: Got better and better at the job. From Kizhakku Vaasal to Jathimalli and that's an early phase of her career.Of course you have to wade through many crappy films to see that she is actually pretty good.

8) Bhanupriya: A very impressive actress who could 'own' scenes, with a wide range too

9) Rohini: MaRupadiyum and MagaLir Mattum. She can rest assured of an all-time spot with just these two.

10) Simran: Kannaththil MuththamittAl....'nuff said

Other 'honorable mentions' include:
Radhika, Revathi, Sujatha, Jothika (her last movie being her best - NEsanal award conpfirm) ....

[P_R]

Konjam disappointing thaan.. but that's fine. Can you believe that 'poovellAm un vaasam' was her debut? enna oru performance that too in some comedy scenes. Antha Jewellery shop scene onnu pOthum. Ambiga, Vadivukkarasi pOnRa seniours'a thookki sAptu iruppAnga. She has many good performances to her credit starting from PUV to Mozhi. IMO, she was the main reason for CM's phenomenal success.

Same with the case of my mother, she used to blame BM for shoba's demise :roll:

Ulagaththula shobha yaarunnu therinja ellaa amma-vum intha maathiri thaan pola irukku. My mom fervently believes the same thing. I think there is more than meets the eye and the media of the day might have influenced this.

I pretty much love Shobha in everything I have seen her in. MuLLum Malarum, Nizhal Nijamaagirathu [enna padam-paa Kamal, Anumanthu (the only other time I had seen him was Simla Special where he is a laugh riot as a lecherous cultural committee secretary), Sumithra and of course Shobha.] and Moodu Pani. I've wanted to watch Lekhayude Maranam (a Malayalam movie supposedly based on her life - nearly 170 mins long :o ) but dont even know where to find it.

[joe]

:exactly:

when she says "சரி..இருக்கட்டும்"..effortless acting.

Apart from acting skills ,her Tamil diction :thumbsup: (though Tamil is not her mother tounge) ..Real Nadigayar Thilagam :clap:

[thamizhvaanan]

My Fav would be without a blink of eye - Urvasi... :notworthy: its a pity that she didnt get a lot of good oppurtunities to display her versatility. Now with age not in her side, she would need to be content with marginal not-so-important roles.

She is so natural, she performs so many inconspicuous expressions, its a joy to watch her in any role. Needless to say she is at her best in Comedy :thumbsup:

[thamizhvaanan]

I am having a hard time trying to list out other female performers, its such a rarity for an actress to get screentime, leave alone making an impact in such short duration.

I used to like revathy, but I think she is too one-dimensional. Someone pls correct me by pointing out some of her better performances.

Jo performs what I would call as "sellable acting" .. its so prominent, in-the-face that its hard for you not to notice it. Mind you she is still a very fine actress.

Heroines who had good run eventually turned out to be better performers, say Sridevi, Simran, Kushboo.

So, who else? :? I dont watch that many movies :ashamed:

[complicateur]

I believe Urvashi's range was better satisfied in Malayalam. ThalyaNa Manthram-nu oru padaththula she plays the capricious older daughter-in-law, defining performance of hers for me.

If we are talking beauty, I am yet to be enamored of anyone as I was of Amala. She was a decent actress too, in Sathya and Pesum Padam and passable in Vetham Puthithu.

[thamizhvaanan]

I believe Urvashi's range was better satisfied in Malayalam. ThalyaNa Manthram-nu oru padaththula she plays the capricious older daughter-in-law, defining performance of hers for me. :( Unfortunately I am not enough of a movie buff to catch other language flicks :oops: But whenever I saw Urvashi , she had me glued to the screen.. I recently saw her in one of those teleserials and regretted how much talent still remains underutilised.


If we are talking beauty, I am yet to be enamored of anyone as I was of Amala. She was a decent actress too, in Sathya and Pesum Padam and passable in Vetham Puthithu.ayyayo.. dont start with the beauty factor .. there will be some hot debates in hub over that :lol2:

Friends, TM anna has changed the Title as suggested by a few hubber's. Thanks once again TM. :)

Good to see the thread going strong.

My fav.

1. Savithri - very versatile and excellent in giving out the right expressions. As PR quoted, she is one actress who is on par with NT.

Others include Padmini, Saroja devi (b&w films), Bhanumati, Vyjayanthi, Pandaribai (though she is typecasted in most of the films, she always does justice to that character), Sowcar Janaki (another talented actress who has been typecast), Jayanthi (Edhir neechal), Saritha, Shoba, Sri devi, Sri Priya (good actress but unfortunately she was made to do only glamour doll roles in most of the films), Simran.....

[Thirumaran]

Some of the actresses i liked a lot.

1. Sarojadevi
2. Jayalalitha
3. Anjali Devi
4. Padmini
5. Sridevi
6. Roja
7. Radha
8. Simran
9. Saavithri

And 3-4 good films with multiple good scenes is more acting scope than our actresses have ever have in their career usually

3-4 good films are kamal films. AngathAn pirachinaiyE :P IMO a good performer should be able to do his/her job neatly even in dud movie. Sila padangaL - evvaLavu mOsamA irunthaalum oru kuRippitta nadigar, director, MD ivanga mEla uLLa nambikkaila pAkkuROmla. Antha mAthiri.

Rangan,

I understand and I know some people have picked some actresses as their favourite, even for reasons other than performance :lol:

But with people like Prabhu it's a different thing altogether hence the debate :)

but, by saying that they are not trying to justify anything. So, freeya vidunga.

BTW, ungalukku Madhavi pudikkumo ?? I liked her in Raja Parvai & T E Ooru. Esp. in RP, in the climax, where Kamal would shout Nancy..Nancy. She would look gorgeous in that bridal costume. I think it was her debut and she could be proud of it.

Yes Madhavi was beautiful, I mentioned her here a few times, but no one noticed that.. but performance wise, I dont know, Sujatha was good actress I feel.. so as Lakhmi, she had both looks and talents

Avanga siricha kooda azhara madhiriye irukkum. She was good in Aval oru thodarkadhai. Off late, I liked her performance in Amaidhipadai.

Roshan, I don't think we can reasonably impose the demand that they perform well under different directors etc.

Sujatha is perhaps the only KB heroine I can stand. Even in AvaL oru Thodarkathai - where there is lot of scope to get on one's nerves - she does not. She is just great in AvargaL. Apart from that its bits and pieces. My 'honorable mention' was based on these 2 films alone. Only KB so doesn't count - appidinnu solla mudiyAdhu.

Let us just say the right environment helps bring out the best. But sattiyila irundhaa thaanE agappaiyila varum.

Somewhat surprising that Lakshmi doesn't seem to have many takers here. I think she's a pretty good actress, just that she can go way over the top any time. I think it's only fair to argue that it was also one of the foremost things expected out of a good actor in those times. (Wonder if it can be analogised to doing stunt sequences, dancing etc. :)) What I can vouch for is her wonderful performance in 'sila nErangaLil sila manidhargaL'. She is good at comedies too. Remember RudhrA? Among her recent outings, she was a scene-stealer in Rhythm.

Naansens Thilak !

She was a good hand from old KB days. Server Sundaram comes to mind immediately. She was just great in that film.

While MMKR casting was a stroke of genius. (And my god she was excellent.)

Mahanadhi was a typical casting - but she brought so much into that role with her acting. The early morning scene is one of my favourite scenes in the film.

Relatively less impressed in Virumaandi though.

enna seyyarathu! :|

when she acted as 'MENAKA' in "vishwamitra" serial in doordharshan, almost all (including aunties, and uncles , and young men and women) were stumped with her beauty.

Ive heard comments like "menaka kooda ivlo azhaga irunthirukka mataa, banupriya koLLai azhagu" said by so many young men women and even aunties.

:(

Nature is very cruel, at times, when such beauties become shockingly aged, in just a period of 10 years :(

Possily an old-interview by Kamal, republished :

http://dailythanthi.com/article.asp?NewsID=444600&disdate=10/16/2008

Here he lists his fav actresses. One of the statements goes like this:

ஸ்ரீதேவி - நடிப்பின் எல்லையைக்கண்டவர்...

[thriinone]

Sripriya is my favourite. Dream girl for few of us.

[rangan_08]

Sripriya is my favourite. Dream girl for few of us.

I think she's quite capable of pulling off any kind of roles. But, tfi had different plans for her. Very unfortunate indeed.

[Raghu]

Yes Sripriya was a good actress and a highly underrated one as well

and a a VERY GOOD friend of SS :)

[Raghu]

No one is mentioning about sumalatha.. er isn't she the one who stared against Raghuvaran in that movie (???)

it had the great song by the greatest SPB ji ' Thalaiyai kuniyum thaamaraiye...'
