Most stylish charecters on screen

[Vivasaayi]

Now lets turn to style - The charecter that had elegance,flair and are fasionable and unique in outfit and mannerisms.

*Important Note : Being handsome is different from being stylish

List your most fav stylish charecters on screen.

My Fav list

1.Johnny - jean,t shirt and a jacket,rajni with his natural looks and styles without any of his gimmicks.Everything he did was stylish one way or another in this film.

2.Sigappu Rojakkal - Leather jacket,trousers and a cap with the coolers.Sophisticated diction and mannerisms - yeah..dashing Kamal Haasan

3.Kurudhipunal - purely formal outfits with the rayban glass and yeah the police haircut.kamalhaasan looked as good as ever...with his stylish mannerisms and diction.

4.Thalapathy - the charecter had nothing but a pair of shirt and pants to wear.But was cool and stylish - Thanks to ultra cool rajni and the cinematography of santhosh sivan.

5.Mouna ragam(karthik) - Perfectly dressed handsome karthik playing the lover boy role in a maniratnam movie - under pcs camera.

6.Billa(Ajith) - Dashing ajith in suits and glasses under gorgeous cinematography.

7.MMKR(Madhan) - The suave Multi millionare should always look stylish and he did.

8.Thambikku endha ooru - Another simple role - which had no fashionable costumes to wear but was stylish...Rajni was handsome and more importantly sylish "adhu nalaiku..aanaa inniku nadandhadhu nadandhadhuthana"

9.Nizhal nijamagiradhu - Funny carefree intellectual with his own way of dealing people...so charming and stylish

10.chathriyan - Police roles were never cool and arrogant as this before or after...Vijayakanth's machismo and never-mind attitude was one of the best.

and from the older movies

my favs are

Par magale paar - rich suave egomaniac - too stylish...the way he uses his suit and cigarette..attagasam.

Karnan : How to describe the style factor of this charecter..hmm...it was like a ferrocius huge carnivore making a style statement.

pasamalar - after he became rich - extremely stylesh...his cigarette puffs and cynical looks

Deivamagan - older shivaji

Uyarndha manidhan

Not in particular order - just my list

people can come up with their fav stylish performances.especially the charecters played by yesteryear stylish heroes like shivaji ganesan from that generation(hehe) fans.

ohhooo...adhu en listunga...we shall add the poll depending upon the nominees :)

But I dont think the poll is necessary as the topic has very less chance for any kind of debate..lets see

[groucho070]

My favourites.

NT - Numerous, don't know which one. The rich guy in Navarathiriya sollluratha? Ponmagal Vanthal paattu scene-ai describe pannuratha, Gouvaramla style-aiye gauvravichathu sollava, Pottu Vaitha Mugamo paattu scene-la neutral-aana engga amma-vai pessavachathu sollavaa illa Tanggapathakamla bramikkavathathu sollava....which one? So many!

So, I move on to my other favourites.

Kamal:
Sigappu Rojakkal: See Viv's description
Tonggathey Thambi Toonggathey - Stylish drug addict - you don't see it often. The film that made me a fan.
Soorasamharam: Tough and stylish.
Kalaignan - The long overcoat, underrated presence in an equally underrated film.
Devar Magan - The stylish hippy look at the beginning.


Rajini
Any scenes where he wears suit, can't beat it.
Other than that:
Talabathi - the sillouette. Awesome.
Billa - Say what you want about that coat. Then, it was cool!
Mundru Mugam - Take NT's SP. Chowdary and mix with Rajini style, you get Alex Pandiyan.
Sivaji - Mottai boss.

Other mentions.
Prabhu - Looked cool in Vetri Vizha.Not bad in My Dear Marthandan.
Sathyaraj - okay, forget about the wig, but back in late 80s, he appeared with some longish coat and scarf which looks good on him (case in point, Jeeva).
Madhavan - Business dress do give him a touch of stylishness.


Extra mention.
Ajith in Billa. Bloody good look and stylish costume.

The forefather of all Rajni's stylish older characters IMO is Nallavanukku Nallavan. Rather than an overt stylisation there is a natural grace to that character that held up even during a recent viewing.

In all Abbas-Maddy encounter scenes in Minnale, Maddy chance-E illai! :thumbsup: Inba (AE) is one character where Maddy got an opportunity to show lot of style/gethu! :smokesmirk:
The thing about Maddy is that - in almost all of his films he had never given an impression that he is acting. He seems to be seamlessly fitting into the roles that are given to him! :clap:

LOL, idhellAm romba over! But yeah, Khushboo is just stunning in this film.

Like I said earlier, it is intellectually lazy to understand a comment on the dignity or persona of a character simply as a prudish remark based on the amount of "skin show." Also, we should pause for a moment and consider how we react to a similar comment on a male actor. Then it would automatically mean 'dignity' in the actual sense!

[P_R]

amaidhi amaidhi !

What I meant was this: The grown-up Shalini did not make sufficient amends for her assaults as a child. And there should be some other reason for someone to be forgiving. avvaLavu dhaan.
