Kamal's best pair :-)

[app_engine]

As the one who acted in his first film as dad got the title 'kAdhal mannan', KH has to be content with the 'kAdhal iLavarasan' title, in TF (irrespective of his age, like the 'iLaingar aNi' thalaivar in some political parties).

Interestingly, that he became a SKV didn't reduce a bit his "achievements" in this area, where he can easily be compared with his predecessor:-)

Pick out the best pair for him (on screen ofcourse) :-)

My vote to "viji" :-)

[Plum]

apdi pOdu aruvaaLa!

[Plum]

Revathy out in first count, by any criteria.
Radha/Ambika - aalai illadha oorukku...
Jayaprada - small sample size
Gautami - thalaivar's own choice
But the crown has to go to the one who set 70's alight with Kamal - Sridevi on a landslide, ofcourse.

[hamid]

adutha panjaayaththaa? NT pair result ennappa aachu?

For Kamal's pair.. my pick will be Sridevi :yes:

[hamid]

athenna Radha/Ambika - akkava katna thankachi free maathiriya :lol:

[bingleguy]

:)

my thought is Kamal-Gowthami ... the pair has been the most natural amongst all .... do not want to talk about any news on their understanding beyond screen :) still i feel - though not many movies like SriDevi ... they stood awesome in the selected .... some memories for me were Devar magan (though for a little time), Kurudhi Punal, Nammavar, Aboorva Sahodarargal ...

[app_engine]

Looks like only NOV / joe can add names to the poll. I think singAra vElan & MMKR can bring in the names of khushboo & oorvashi as well to the list.

Also Sripriya is missing as well (though I never liked her as KH's jOdi, she was almost as successful as Sridevi those days in the BO when paired with KH)

[Nerd]

Sridevi, of course!

Amala'lAm rejett-A? Sathya, vetri vizhA, pEsum padam avLOdhaanaa? :? SathyA-la semma chemistry..

Btw, kamal retire aagittAr? Adhukkulla classics section-la!

[Shakthiprabha]

Seetha / banupriya / kushboo / urvashi / roopiNi / sulakshana / dimple / licy / Jayachitra / Shobana / Sujatha : Lemme put them all together and say - "didn't quite impress to even debate upon"

Asin / abhirami / meena/ jyo / simran / all post 90z debuts : Lemme club them together to say "best pairs for kamalhassan" stopped acting way back, and they have to be fished out from 80z or maximum early 90s.

Radha: too unfeminine for kamalhassan

Ambika: looked dramatic when paired with him and her looks dont keep up with kamalhassan.

Gowthami: Just pass. nothing more to say.

Jayapradha: may be cute - pretty - charming, but not with kamalhassan. no !

Srividhya: Ofcourse she looks much elder to him... yet...they do look kinda interesting together.

Revathi: kamalhassan - revathy ! surprise! surprise! You know the 'not-so-glam' girl was kinda cute when paired with kamalhassan. They looked young and vibrant and lovely and YOUTHFUL :thumbsup: (my fourth choice may be)

How about Sripriya? I liked adamant tomboyish looks when it competed with his naughty reciprocation. Sabash sariyaana potti :clap:

Madhavi: Good! What more to say? I like her paired with rajnikant, so its like pair-violation :oops: So I supp I didn't enjoy her much along with kamalhassan.

Amala: I do agree wtih nerd on kamal-amala chemistry. They rocked :thumbsup: I liked kamalhassan amala pair nex to one and only choice

Sridevi: Kamalhassan-Sridevi... (despite their... u know the height...) Therez something very down to earth about the pair. You cant call it chemistry, u cant call them romantic, ..its something else, I would safely use the same 'cilche' - "they look natural together" (should I say looked? )

I feel very sad kamalhassan didn't do lot of movies with "ek duje ke liye" pair 'Rathi agnihotri'. They look so perfect together, she would have actually competed with sridevi had she paired up more.

The lady I couldn't digest opposite to kamalhassan was

No here I am not too agitated about Sridevi winning. But to call Gowthami just pass is shocking, to say the least. She is a pretty, good actress.

[Shakthiprabha]

Gowthami is a charming lady, I didn't appreciate when she sat next to kamalhassan. Eno therila....enakku gautami-ramarajan pair pidikkum :oops: (two opposites they were(are) ...in every way...irundhaalum..weird :oops: ..)

Rathi agnihotri as I said didn't make it many times, but they did look catchy, adhanaala I couldn't help adding her :P

I haven't watched nammavar, but she was fun to watch in apoorva sahOdhararkaL :-) In my mind Gautami is a good "comedy pair" for Kamal rather than romantic pair :-)

[sivank]

My vote goes for Kamal and Gautami. It was so natural seeing them in Kurudhi punal

my vote is for Sridevi :yes:

[groucho070]

I am torn between Sri Devi and Gouthami. By the way, sometimes back I wrote a teasing article on Kamal during his days as Prince of Romance (I wrote Prince of Love, which is not that wrong either) There are factual mistakes which got covered in the comments. You can read it here (http://grouchydays.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-kamal-was-prince-of-love.html)

Nice post (in the blog) groucho :-)

I think only the mods can add more options in the poll. Sripriya at least has to be added there.

hub has 100K+ regd members. However, no poll gets even 100 votes :-)

we have received >100 votes many times. see Rajni thread for recent one. ;)

SathyA-la semma chemistry..

gouthami is the second best after sridevi in terms of chemistry

"enna sonnaan avan"

"veetla soltu vandhiyaanu kekuran"

"sollala..naisaa vandhuten"

aboorva sagodhargal is enough

[tvsankar]

Nammavar is also nice....

From the link CR posted in the last song thread :



NDTV: And your favourite co-star?
Kamal: Many who ask me this question, expect me to mention a woman's name! In my case, Sivaji Ganesan for our roles in Thevar Magan. Among the heroines it is Sridevi with whom I've acted in 27 films. She has always been different from one film to another.

:D

Thalaivar - Sree Devi pair rocked! KalyaaNa raaman, Red roses, Guru, vaazhvE maayam padangaL pOdhumE... (Lot of times, I think about a sequel to mUnRaam piRai... what would have happened if Sree Devi returned to OOty some 10-15 years later :( )

Thalaivar - Amala comes close (They should have acted in few more films)
Gowthami comes third!
aduththu Jayapradha!

Sripriya was never my fav. adhulayum thalaivar kUda... chance-E illai..
Radhika looked comfortable with Rajini than kamal.

mgb sonnaapla Ambica was good with kamal... but think about her ellaa heros koodayum avanga nalla ajeesment maadhiri irukku... ;)

[rami]

Be it being the lady love of a young man who later finds out that he is counting his days because of a deadly disease,

Or as the hearthrob of the smart Robinhood hero

Or as a young beautiful woman who is a small girl by heart, who slowly wins the heart of the young man

Or as a the lady love of a depressed jobless youth struggling to find a job for himself.. :notworthy:

Any movie ... any role... Sridevi is the best pair for Kamal... :notworthy: :notworthy:

[rami]

The next person who comes in mind as a best pair to
Kamal is Simran.. the pair excelled in the movies 5thanthiram, Pammal K Sambhandam

Gautami is the best pair for Kamal, Though less number of movies, both looked like made for each other..
