jay jay.

madavan and his sidekicks (vaiyapuri and dhamu) goto kolkatta searching a female called jamnua (heroine)

sidekicks learn that jamuna is married but hide it form madavan.

madavan insists that he want to go and see jamuna. sidekicks try to stop but can't. they finally fall in madavan's feet and beg him not go with dialogues like "please pogade j. un manasu thaangaadu".

madavan will continue walking, dragging the sidekicks who are still holding his feet

I defer to Plum aNNan.
When it comes to Sivakumar he is the Hub expert.

Plum
6th July 2009, 01:02 PM
jOrA paNNalame poll. Unintentionally funny actors - Sivakumar tops the list.
Shanmughasundaram is a weak candidate in that he is of the AVM Rajan school of overacting more than anything else.
Enough examples have been quoted here - KaNNA unai thEdugirEn quoted my mrsrajan is a prime example. Basically, I have recorded in my mind his rendition of "sangeetha mEdaiya sAkkadaiyakka pArkarEngaLA?". That remains his template for any dialogue delivery - a enigmatic smile added if it is a fun expression, and the standard constipated expression if it is a serious dialogue.

PR, I am not the expert on Sivakumar, though. It's ages since I saw a tamil movie, even on TV :-( much less 80's or sivakumar movies. Right now, ellaam memory-lerundhu dhaan pesiNdurukkEn. Infact, I am in a pathetic state, even the IR songs I quote are from my memory rather than manifestation in physical media. Bleddy Mumbai life...

jaishankar- in mounam sammandham movie, after he was released from jail, he smiles continueosly (ulimate expression to show happiness)

In navarathiri movie-after a gap savithri and sivaji will meet.again no dialog for few minutes. you can imagine how expressive it could be
Also in that movie, one of roles played by sivaji as a village man ,always bends his back to show that he is vey humble.
Did anbody watch a movie called "simma soppanam" .the intro of sivaji is too good

Almost the entire first half of 'narasimmA.' A whole array of bizarrely conceived scenes and equally inspired performances from Vijayakanth, Raghuvaran, Thalaivasal Vijay, Rajasekar, Venu Aravind, Anand Raj etc.

I especially like Venu Aravind's performance in this scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nOhiKwZWdU), but sadly it went unnoticed.

i havent seen this movie but i can imagine how Jaishankar would have performed in that scene. PKS would have said, "yenna awarda kodukkaraanga?'

Thillu Mullu: The 'freeze' shots and Rajini's expressions when Madhavi pulls of his fake moustache. KB touch :lol2:

Thirisoolam: Almost the entire movie. One song which has the maximum number of notable expressions is "Irandu Kaigal, Ondraanal". The camera toggles between two Sivajis on a jeep.

Aasai: Prakashraj's screams when Poornam lights the matchstick - a cluster of remarkably funny expressions.

Gounder's flexing of his facial muscles and the zig zag movement of his jaws in romantic scenes is one truly notable expression. 8-)

Actually its a pleasure to watch performers throw up expressions while singing or playing music. It adds impact to the listening experience, make you feel closer to their music.

In this case, eventhough prabhu isn't actually playing sax, he did the best he could do.

To stop things from getting abstract a la the notorious 'western sensibilities' , or having to buy in the context specific to the performance etc. I am making a very simple comparison

I see it like this. He is consistently an emotional man in that film. Very expressive character, that's how he is shown. Apart from the talent, he is not at all like the calmer version which is his son. Now, after being so expressive throughout the movie, he cannot sit there like kuttukallu and play the miruthanggam. NT himself picked up from observing other miruthanggam players.

I do play a bit of tabla and bongo, and things go heavy, I find myself looking like am in constipation. Different folks have different expression.

So, it was in tune with the character. Chumma TVla paattu scene mattum paartha puriyathu. That's what I felt. Balaiyah was a supporting character, and there is no need for hims to show too much of emotion, plus he is a cool character in that film. That's in tune with that.

Finally a sane voice in a crowd of insanity. :P

Fact is this matter was raised when the film was released and it was clearly explained that Sivaji studied the body language of leading mirudanga vidwans when he was asked to do this role.
Thats what I meant by "katradhu kai man alavu...."

We have this habit of judging things by our own (limited) perceptions, that we seldom realise that the world is much much larger.

Sivaji is a notable actor - you think he wont know better? As an example I dislike Dasavatharam for many reasons - but I really cannot fault Kamal's acting there. When accomplished actors like Sivaji and Kamal perform they bring with them 1000s of hours of experiences. To make careless remarks about their acting without ample knowledge just reflects on our inadequacy.

While most of us are just audience here you have a performer in Rakesh explaining how intense the moment can be. If you still do not wish to be enlightened and hold on to your views, fine, lets leave it at that.

I also think that Sivaji's performance was bad in that film. Especially the showdown against prabu in which he collapses in the end. One mention of sivaji in a negative thread and you guys are all over us. Would you also defend pattAkkathi bairavan, Hitler Umanath etc?

Also you don't need 1000 hours of experience to come up with stellar performances. Sivaji did it with Parasakthi, which was just his first. (theater experience-nu ellAm sollakkoodaathu)

What I wrote was the reason why I found it not to be funny. I feel for that character during that scene. Especially musicians.

We have this habit of judging things by our own (limited) perceptions, that we seldom realise that the world is much much larger.

Groucho, no denying that percussion players have expressions which are out of the ordinary. NOV in his quote above perhaps assumes that everyone who is critical of that performance expected the player to a sober, poker faced and were thus disappointed. That is so not the case.

Which is why I brought in Baliah. In the introductory scene in TM, you can see him playing with vigour, chewing imaginary cud, his face is hyperexpressive and his mouth -without a word spoken- shows he is in sync with what he is playing and is throwing challenges at SarangapaNi.

When he plays the western notes in the street, you can see him again in perfect sway and sync. Ends with the taps on one side with raised brows.

That is excellence. In comparison I felt Sivaji in MC did not reign in well enough. Saw the contest song on youtube last night to do the 'sariyA thaan pEsurEnA' check. The hand freeze reactiong and KR Vijaya bursting into song is naturally hilarious.

I see your point about consistency, that the character was indeed hyperemotional throughout the movie. Then that is precisely the kind of performance that I prefer not to remember Sivaji by.

Then that is precisely the kind of performance that I prefer not to remember Sivaji by.You will not enjoy it. I couldn't appreciate at that time, because of my MGR-influenced dad was sneering at it. But later, watching it again in my twenties, I liked it. In fact, I am not in favour of his character, but still I loved the performance.

But if the expression seemed funny to some hubbers here, what can I do? I merely stated why I didn't find it to be funny. Maybe some percussionists might agree with me. I don't know.

[tscii:1afbc92087]Nov, your dismissls of arguments from otehr side is very condescending - I spoke as an unabashed fan when I said what I said.MC was an exercise in excess - I repeat, not his fault but the fault of certain type of fans and prods and dirs who had vested interests in promoting that sort of performances. Ok, not the fans who were probably gullible nd naïve but certainly the prods and dirs who probably encouraged the reviewers with their flesh acts, bone acts appreciations.
The contest scene is an example of a clearly manipulated set-piece which ws designed to give the sort of performance sivaji did. I am pretty sure the man knew wht he was doing and who he was doing it for - firstly, you don't understand where we come from, and make assumptions, and then you speak loftily of sanity and understanding?

http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/kuros.htm

With Kagemusha (1980) Kurosawa returned to the large-scale historical epic, which continued in Ran (1985), a version of Shakespeare's King Lear. Although Kurosawa was the most famous Japanese director in the West, he had troubles in getting finance from his own country. Ran was made possible by the support of Francis Coppola and George Lucas.

This is not about funny expression, but it got me burst out laughing.

Film: Oorukku Oru Pillai
Accused: NT, but the blame is largely the director, as you will notice.

Scene: NT is in Major's house, with some guests, and they are there to Ponnu Parrka Major's daughter, Sri Priya, NT's lover. She descends the staircase, and with lots of expectation, just for formality sake, Major asks her daughter if she is okay with the marriage.

She (there is reason behind this) says no! And what follows is a very understated scene, with subdued performance, and we are talking about a heavier set NT here. He just walks over to her, asks her again, but she just disses him off and ascends the stair.

Stunned, disappointed, frustrated ( NT was great here), he walks to Major, apologises for insulting him....and leaves....

....towards the kitchen direction. :rotfl:

[tscii:a41a189923]It may be an emotional scene for the concerned, but for me it was unintentionally funny. I caught this in the Vijay Awards, (repeat telecast in vijay tv) & it is from Sivakumar. Surya was adjudged as Best actor & in the screen, it was shown Kamal praising Surya’s acting (that was shoot earler). Once the screening was over, Kamal, who was seated near Sivakumar & family, gets up to make a move towards the stage, for presenting the award to Surya. அப்போ சிவகுமார், உணர்ச்சி பொங்க ஒரு reaction கொடுப்பாரு.It’s quite understandable for every father, but still I can’t control my :lol:

ஓரங்க நாடகம் போல்... Once the award was presented & the following உணர்ச்சி பிளம்பு on stage, they parallely show Vijay’s close-up (he is seated among other film personalities). I don't know, for what purpose they showed this... then i thought that, if Ajith was there, they would have showed him too.
