Navarasa Nayagan Karthik

[PARAMASHIVAN]

I think we should talk about him,, His movies, his career, his performance

I rate him much above his competitor Prabhu.. Sadly due to his punctuality and lack of enthusiasm he could not make it to top

He was a ladies man those days :lol2:

what are your views, on this pls?

[venkkiram]

கொஞ்ச நாட்களுக்கு முன்பு நான், கார்த்திக் பற்றி ஒரு தனித் திரி ஆரம்பிக்கலாம்னு நினைச்சேன். ரொம்ப நன்றி. ஒரு வழியா பிள்ளையார் சுழி போட்டு வைத்ததற்கு.

கிழக்கு வாசல், மௌன ராகம், அக்னி நட்சத்திரம், கோபுர வாசலிலே, கோகுலத்தில் சீதை என பலதரப்பட்ட படங்கள் இவரது தேர்ந்த நடிப்பை பறை சாற்ற.

வரப்போகிற ராவணனும் இதே வகையில் இருக்கும் என எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன்.

[Nerd]

I like him more than Prabu/Sathyaraj/Vijayakanth. Some of my favorite films of his:

Agni Natchathiram
Gopura Vaasalile
Mouna Ragam
Kizhakku Vaasal
Nadodo Thenral
Idhaya Thaamarai
Ullathai Allitha
Thotta Chinungi
Gokulathil Seethai etc.

I can tolerate him in many obscure films like Enga Veettu Ramayanam, Natpu, Bhagavathipuram Railway Gate, Valibame Vaa Vaa etc.

Looking forward to his reentry through Mani saar's Raavan.

[tamizharasan]

He would have had better career if he had self-discipline. Good actor and dancer.
My all time favorite of Karthik is varusham 16. Actingwise he was at his best in Mouna Raagam, though I would not rate this movie as Karthik's movie. The problem with Karthik was he stopped improvisation and became monotonous and boring over the period of time. At his prime he was definitely one of my favorite actors.

Yes :oops: I would also add chinna kannamma and poovELi to the list (Great, subdued performaces). Too much of Sundar C spoiled him (azhagaana naatkaL, kannan varuvaan etc.. :twisted: )

[Aalavanthan]

Amaran -yaa.. didnt go well at the box office but had some excellent underworld scenes and our Cooking Master Aadhityan's best work till date IMO

[mexicomeat]

best karthick movie imho is the movie starring gowtami, nassar and suhasini where he fights for the custody of baby shaamli...

chinna kannammaa nnu nenaikiren

[app_engine]

Yes :oops: I would also add chinna kannamma and poovEli to the list (Great, subdued performaces).

I saw later part of this movie on TV last week and Karthik's performance was quite impressive and the heroine who acted the wife's role looked pretty (what's the name?).

The portion of the movie I saw was above average as well (had they chopped off some of the villain scenes / fights etc, it would have been quite interesting).

[rajeshkrv]

pooveli was really a best movie for his acting. Very nice performances by both karthik and kausalya.

Karthik is really an underrated actor. He did variety of roles and was very good at everything he did. he suited village and hep characters very well.


unnidathil ennai koduthen was also very good. He was far better than some other heroes of his time and he was second to kamal in acting.

[venkkiram]

கார்த்திக்கின் பல முயற்சிகள் பிரமிக்க வைக்கும்.

கிழக்கு வாசல்: அம்மா மனோரமா இறந்ததை உணர்ந்து அழுவது. தயாரிப்பாளர் சத்யஜோதி சேனலுக்கு தந்த பேட்டியொன்றில், படப்பிடிப்பு தளத்தில் எல்லோரும் நெகிழ்ந்து, கட் சொல்லாமல் கேமரா ஓடிக்கொண்டே இருந்ததாம் எனச் சொன்ன போது, கமலின் புன்னகை மன்னன் - மரத்தில் சிக்குண்டு கமல் அழும் காட்சியை கட் செய்யாமல் எடுத்துக்கொண்டே இருந்த பாலச்சந்தரின் அனுபவம்தான் நியாபகத்திற்கு வந்தது.

கோ.சீதை : ஒரு இடம் என்றில்லாமல், படம் முழுவதும் இயல்பான நடிப்பில் அசத்தியிருப்பார்.

அக்னி நட்சத்திரம் : தன் தந்தையாருக்கு தனது அம்மா ஒரு வப்பாட்டி என்ற அவமானத்தை கோபமாக வெளிப்படுத்தும் பல காட்சிகள்.

கோபுர வாசலிலே : நாகேஷுடன் இவர் வரும் பள்ளிக் காட்சிகள் எல்லாமே சரவெடி.

Karthik is great in Pooveli :clap: and that actress is Kousalya.

Karthik pulled off a great performance in Gokulathil Seedhai too.

[Movie Cop]

Karthik - A very good actor who ruined his career due to lack of discipline. :( I like him way better than some of his peers during the 80's like Prabhu, Mohan etc. My favourite Karthik movie list pretty much matches with those from Nerd/Venkiram.

But as AV pointed out, I too thought he was too good in "Amaran" eventhough the movie itself was a flop - thanks to an ordinary screenplay for a hyped movie.

[Raikkonen]

he's a great all rounder. amazing in comedy..

like UAT and Pistha :lol:

[saradhaa_sn]

கார்த்திக் நல்ல கலைஞர்தான். சந்தேகமேயில்லை. ஒரு காலத்தில் கல்லூரி மாணவிகளின் ஆதர்ச நாயகனாக வலம் வந்தவர்தான். ஆனால் தனக்குக்கிடைத்த நல்ல வாய்ப்புக்களைத் தொடர்ந்து பயன்படுத்திக் கொண்டிருந்தாரானால் இன்று வரை தொய்வு விழாத நாயகனாக வலம் வந்திருப்பார்.

என்ன செய்வது. கூடாத பழக்கங்களுக்கு வாய்ப்பட்டு, தானே அவற்றைக்கெடுத்துக்கொண்டார். படப்பிடிப்பிடிப்பில் அனைவரையும் காக்க வைத்துவிட்டு லேட்டாக ஷூட்டிங்குக்கு வருவது, அடிக்கடி ஷூட்டிங்களை கேன்ஸல் பண்ணுவது. அதனால் இவருடைய கால்ஷீட் மட்டுமல்ல, இவரோடு நடிப்பவர்களிடமும் தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் வாங்கிய கால்ஷீட்டுகள் வீண். என்னதான் அற்புதமான நடிகராக இருந்தாலும், இதுபோன்ற விரயங்களை தயாரிப்பாளர்களும், இயக்குனர்களும் எத்தனை நாட்கள்தான் பொறுத்துக்கொள்வார்கள்..?. கடும்போட்டி நிறைந்த திரையுலகில், எழுந்துபோய் எச்சில் துப்பிவிட்டு வருவதற்குள், ஒருவர் இடத்தை மற்றவர்கள் பிடித்துக்கொள்வார்கள். அப்படியிருக்க, இவரால் ஏற்படும் தாமதங்களையும், விரயங்களையும் எவ்வளவு நாள் சகித்துக்கொள்வார்கள்?. அதனால்தான், ரசிகர்கள் மத்தியில் அபார செல்வாக்கு இருந்தும் காணாமல் போனார்.

இவரது போட்டியாளர்கள், திறமையில் சில படிகள் கீழே இருந்தபோதிலும், மற்ற விஷயங்களில் (குறிப்பாக படப்பிடிப்புக்கு ஒத்துழைப்பு போன்றவை) பல படிகள் மேலே போய் தங்களை நிலைநிறுத்திக்கொண்டனர்.

அரசியலிலும்கூட அப்படித்தான். ஆரம்பத்தில் தென் மாவட்டங்களில் இவருக்கு கிடைத்த அபார வரவேற்பையும், பொதுக்கூட்டங்களில் கூடிய மக்கள் கூட்டத்தையும் முறைப்படி பயன்படுத்திக் கொண்டிருந்தால் அரசியலிலும் ஒரு நல்ல இடத்துக்கு வந்திருப்பார். அங்கும் இப்படித்தான். பொதுக்கூட்டம் ஏற்பாடு செய்துவிட்டு மிகவும் தாமதமாகப் போவது, அதுகூடப்பரவாயில்லை, பல சமயம் மக்களை காக்க வைத்துவிட்டு கூட்டத்துக்குப்போவதே கிடையாது. (பலமுறை மக்கள் இவரைத் திட்டிக்கொண்டே கலைந்து போவார்களாம். தினசரிகளில் படித்திருக்கிறேன்).

மொத்தத்தில் இவரை யாரும் வீழ்த்தவில்லை. தன்னைத்தானே வீழ்த்திக்கொண்டார்.

I feel the problam with Karthik, is that all his roles were of 'Lover boy' roles.. He excelled in that along with comedy, but he did not attempt at various roles, with the exception of Agni natchathiram and amaran.

It is really sad to see such atalent being wasted , when we are flooded with loads of 'Hero wannabes' these days

[Roshan]

His supporting role in Ajith starrer Aanada PoongaRRE was again memorable. My all time favourite Karthik movie is 'unnidathil ennai koduthEn' - climax'la pitchi uthaRi iruppAr.

கிழக்கு வாசல் - பாடி பறந்த கிளி பாடல்.. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWlXnxNMJS8)

பாத்திரத்தின் சூழ்நிலையை உணர்ந்து, ரொம்ப இயல்பான முகபாவங்களை கொடுத்திருப்பார். பாடல் முழுவதும் இருபது அடிக்கும் குறைவான இடத்தில் நின்றுகொண்டும், நடந்துகொண்டும்..

பஞ்சு வெடிச்சா அது நூலாப் போகும்
நெஞ்சு வெடிச்சா அது தாங்காது
சேதாரம் செஞ்சவரு யாரு யாரு!

என்ற வரிகளில் மனதை தொடுவார்.

இதே படத்தில் வரும் பச்ச மலப் பூவு (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYZu1xsKOBE)

இதுவும் ஒரே வீட்டில், முற்றத்தை சுற்றியே வலம் வந்து பாடல் முழுதும் ரேவதியை சந்தோஷப்படுத்துவார்.

எத்தனை முறை பார்த்தாலும், கார்த்திக்கின் முகம் போரடிக்க மாட்டேங்குதே ஏன் என்று எங்க ஊர் ஓவியர் ஒருவரிடம் கேட்டேன். அவர் சொன்னது "முகத்தில் எடுப்பாக எதுவுமே அமையாமல், நெற்றி, கண், மூக்கு, கன்னம், காது, பற்கள் என எல்லாமே கனக் கச்சிதமா அமையப்பெற்ற பாகங்களை முகத்தில் கொண்டவர்கள் சிலர் தான் சினிமாவில் இருக்கிறார்கள். அதில் முக்கியமானவர் கார்த்திக்" எனப் பதில் அளித்தார்.

Mouna ragam was though a Mohan Film, Karthick stole the show with great ease in cameo role!I am not doing a historical revision here, because I had already said it then. That, the role is well written, any decent actor could pull it off and do the so-called "scene stealing". Take him out, and just put his character in a flashback dialogue, you still have a great film, and wonderful performance from Mohan.

"any special actor" can be a opt usage than "any decent actor" I feel. Any decent actor would have done the same role, but we may not be talking about them here. This is where karthik makes such a difference.

Rakesh Bro,
Agree that Karthik's role was well written. But still Karthik brought in the much required "charm factor" to that role which I reckon most of the Tamil actors would have failed there miserably. that would have made the difference between him and most of the other actors in that era. That's a kind of role for someone like Karthik (or the present day Maddy) to fill in and do justice.

Having said that I agree that Mohan fitted Mouna Raga like a "T" and his role was well written too. :D

[groucho070]

MC, agreed on the charm factor. I could imagine Prabhu doing justice to it too (at that time).

Having said that, I have this stupid theory that the descent of an actor's performances is directly proportionate to his receeding hairline :P

Ejjambil: Rajini*, Karthik*, Prabhu*, Mohan & other follically challenged 80s stars.

Exception: Sathyaraj - who is always mediocre.

*they still have it in them, but we have yet to see that :(

Geouch, pirabhu of 85-86 as Manohar? Sounds a stretch, much as I rate Ganesan Jr.
Wasn't it his sangili meesai, kirudha phase? Mani would have had to do some refurbishing, water service* etc :-). That kind of roguish charm that Karthik brought wouldn't have suited Prabhu(esp the 1985 version). His is more of an impish charm, isn't it(even the later refurbished version of agni n times)

Otoh,while I can imagine the Prabhu of 88-89 doing Ashok Viswanath, one can't imagine Karthik doing half justice to Gautam Viswanath!

For all you know, there could have been a lesser actor who probably could have launched a successful career with this well-written role.

But I am not putting Karthik down. The man had it in him...some of my friends claimed that he is next to Kamal, which I didn't agree then. What the heck, I have not agreed to any candidates chosen as "next to Kamal" till today :P

grouch, you must consider the prevailing circumstances. Who else was there who could have? Dilip*? Mohan? Suresh? SV Sekar Unless an unknown aspiring actor with talent and charm was available and went unheralded into the history books, the landscape of tamil filmdom doesnt show anyone who would have fitted the bill. Including Ilayathilagam.

* Dilip, btw, apparently was a classmate of Rajni in the film course latter did in Chennai - and was the topper of the class to Rajni's backbench bottom lister:-)

Mohan's role, otoh, was the generic one anyone could have done. What did he have to do really? Quite an overrated performance - and possibly, the acclaim he gets for this role is a result of the below-average performances in every other role he did. Two Lines Theory.

(Who was it who commented yesterday that if Mother Tirisa is underplaying in VTV, the role must be of a coma patient? :lol:)

[P_R]

Dilip - I so wish some mimicry artist would nail this guy - went out of circulation of circulation when Visu went out of circulation. ஒரு சில படங்கள்ல wayward "modern-youth"ஆ வருவார். Coolness-ல winner Prashanth கூட நெருங்கமுடியாது

[Plum]

Other candidates for the role around that time - Rajiv, 'Vaagai' Chandrasekhar, possibly 'Kannada' Ravichandran.
Enough said.

Mouna ragam was though a Mohan Film, Karthick stole the show with great ease in cameo role!I am not doing a historical revision here, because I had already said it then. That, the role is well written, any decent actor could pull it off and do the so-called "scene stealing". Take him out, and just put his character in a flashback dialogue, you still have a great film, and wonderful performance from Mohan.

Completely Agree ! Though everybody talks of Karthik in Maouna Raagam it was Mohan who I liked the most. Mohan's best performance IMO.

What? Take out the flashback - and you take out the charm of the movie. Violently disagree. Mohan's best, maybe. That just speaks about Mohan's limited capability :-)

[groucho070]

Well, Plum all I can think of is Prabhu. In MR's hand at that time, he could have pulled something off.

At the same time, I still stand by Mohan's performance. Anyone else would have been uncomfortable in a role devoid of any macho-ness the 80s stars including the best ones would never have touched. Mohan was the right man for it and he did a fantastic job.

Rajesh? A little less sophisticated(I am :lol: at myself for having to say this in the context of Mohan), maybe. Nevertheless, not so difficult to pull off. oNyumE illai, andha role-la.

Infact, Rajesh did a similar role with Nadhiya in nilavae malarae.

Boss, am talking about lead actors then. Athu eppadi antha role-la Onniyum Illa-nu sollurengga. It's a tough role. Come on, that's a brooder and you have a sexually repressed one at that. I can't believe I am attempting to detail his character here. Just look at the song sequences, Nilave Va & Mandram Vanthu. Very expressive those faces...too bad both singing and speaking voices are not his so I will not call it an award winning performance.

btw for the attention of சொந்தக் குரல் பிரியர் கிரவுசோ. Surendhar was doing most of the acting in the film.

For instance, the scene where Revathi tries to be endearing and fiddles with the music player has Mohan lashing out at her and then calling the travel agent to book her ticket back home. It was a good performance from Mohan but one will have to give credit to SN Surendhar too.

I don't have a problem with that, but I remember you have trouble with 'borrowed' voices. :P

To make an assessment I recommend you watch Mohan's mellifluous own-voice rendition in sondham 16.

Geouch, pirabhu of 85-86 as Manohar? Sounds a stretch, much as I rate Ganesan Jr.
Wasn't it his sangili meesai, kirudha phase? Mani would have had to do some refurbishing, water service* etc :-). That kind of roguish charm that Karthik brought wouldn't have suited Prabhu(esp the 1985 version). His is more of an impish charm, isn't it(even the later refurbished version of agni n times)

Otoh,while I can imagine the Prabhu of 88-89 doing Ashok Viswanath, one can't imagine Karthik doing half justice to Gautam Viswanath!

Amaran songs were chartbusters well before the movie release. Karthik sang "Vetallai potta sokule" and Srividya sang a song (Sandhai Bajaar)... The movie carried excellent pre-release hype in Chennai during those days. It was originally planned for '91 Diwali release clashing with "Guna" & "Thalapathy". Rumour has it that GV, producer of Thalapathy, played a part in ensuring the delay of "Amaran" release to avoid a clash with his movie. I also vaguely remember there was a court stay order on "Amaran" release. Does anyone know/recall why? :roll:

The movie carried excellent pre-release hype in Chennai during those days. It was originally planned for '91 Diwali release clashing with "Guna" & "Thalapathy". Rumour has it that GV, producer of Thalapathy, played a part in ensuring the delay of "Amaran" release to avoid a clash with his movie. I also vaguely remember there was a court stay order on "Amaran" release. Does anyone know/recall why? :roll:

you are right.... some one got court stay order on amaran.... when songs got released, the real competition in musical chart is between thalapathy and amaran....vethalapotta sokkula was quite popular at the time....and sanda bazar from srividya also.....later amran got released during '92 pongal

[PARAMASHIVAN]

hmm didn't know that...

[hattori_hanzo]

Nadodi Thendral .... I didn't know it was directed by BR :shock: was it a hit? IR music :notworthy:

Nice songs. Movie was a big flop.

one small rememberance:

In Kovai.. there is a 3 theater complex:

Ganga -Yamuna - Kaveri

at one point of time.. all 3 was showing Karthik films

Idhu Namma Bhoomi - Nadodi Thendral - Nadodi Paatukkaran

Caught last part of Amaran last night.

Let's say that only Radha Ravi interested me this time. BGM had strong IR influence, though.

Edit. Add overall Manirathnam pastiche feeling.

Today evening KTV showed

AGNI NATCHATHRAM

Karthik ... :smokesmirk: :clap: :clap:

Prabhu too... :clap:
Karthik was super cool in Agni Natchathram, I say! :smokesmirk: Somehow, he turns out to be the screen stealer in multi hero movies (ex: Mouna Ragam & Agni Natchatram). :thumbsup:

Those days "Raja raajaadhi rajan indhe raja" song was a rage. Among the 80's Tamil heroes, Karthik was a relatively good dancer and will come a distant second to an incomparable Kamal Haasan. :)

Raghu,

One small request. If you like Karthik, praise him to whatever levels you want but why unnecessairly drag Prabhu here? From page 1 of this thread, this is the 4th time you are downriding Prabhu. Normally I don't get into any argument mode but this is going beyond reasonable levels.

Borrowing the words of Rakesh and Plum here, any decent actor would have pulled off Manohar and Ashok Viswanath but Karthik even if he makes use of his full potential would not have been able to do even 50% justice to Gautham Viswanath.

Let us not go farther. In the same 1988 in February the duo did Urimai Geetham where the roles were reversed. Prabhu portrayed a poor man and Karthik's was from a well to do background. Prabhu simply dominated the proceedings. If you not have watched, please do. I can list out so many films of Prabhu to which the other heroes [leaving aside Kamal and Rajini] would not be able to hold a candle, but it is not my intention here.

I don't intend to write again and this only a request. Hope you take it in the right spirit.

Regards

திரு முரளி,

வேறுபடுகிறேன். "any decent actor" மௌனராகம் பாத்திரத்தை செய்யமுடியும் என்று தொடர்ந்து பதிவுசெய்யப்படும் கருத்தை ஜீரணிக்க முடியவில்லை. சில கதாபாத்திரங்களுக்கு சிலர் மட்டுமே சரியாகப் படுவர். உதாரணத்திற்கு தவமாய் தவமிருந்து, நந்தா படங்களில் ராஜ்கிரண் நடித்த பாத்திரங்கள். அதுபோலவே கார்த்திக்கின் மௌனராகம், அக்னிநட்சத்திரம் பாத்திரங்கள். இவர்கள் இடத்தில் இன்னொருவரை கனவிலும் நினைக்கத் தேவையில்லை.

என்னுடைய குறைந்த (ஒரு வருட) ஹப் அனுபத்தில் சொல்கிறேன். ஒருத்தரை இன்னொருத்தருடன் ஒப்பிடுக் கூடாது என்றால் இந்த இணையத்தில் பல நூறு பதிவுகளை நாம் அழிக்க வேண்டியிருக்கும்.

Exactly

I really Liked Prabhu in Urimai geetham and Agni nakshatram...
they had equal weightage and both performed equally well.

Mani had given equal..I mean equal weightage to both..Ivar oru adi vangina avarum oru adi vanguvar.

I liked Prabhu in Vetrivizha and Guru Shishyan.

During his peak Karthik won filmfare awards for three years in row for Agni Natchaththiram, Varusham 16 and Kizhakku Vaasal. In the era dominated by Kamal and Rajini it was a great achievement indeed.

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmfare_Best_Actor_Award_(Tamil)"

He had really great potential during that time and he spoilt his career for lack of discipline.

``முள் மீது அமர்ந்திருந்ததால் சினிமாவில் இடைவெளி விழுந்தது''
கார்த்திக் பேட்டி


சினிமாவில் இருந்து அரசியலுக்கு போன நடிகர்களில் கார்த்திக்கும் ஒருவர். அரசியலுக்கு போனபின் அவர், சினிமாவை விட்டு விலகி இருந்தார். படங்களில் நடிக்கவில்லை. நீண்ட இடைவெளிக்குப்பின், மணிரத்னம் டைரக்ஷனில், `ராவணா' படத்தில் ஒரு முக்கிய வேடத்தில் நடித்தார்.

அதைத்தொடர்ந்து இப்போது, `மாஞ்சா வேலு,' `புலி வேஷம்' ஆகிய படங்களில் நடித்துக்கொண்டிருக்கிறார்.

சினிமாவில் இடைவெளி விழுந்தது ஏன்? என்பது பற்றி கார்த்திக், நிருபர்களுக்கு பேட்டி அளித்தார். அவர் கூறியதாவது:-

``சினிமாவில் எனக்கு ரசிகர்கள் ஒரு முக்கிய இடம் கொடுத்து இருந்தார்கள். நல்ல வாய்ப்புகள் எனக்கு கிடைத்தன.

சில காலமாக நான் முள் மீது அமர்ந்திருந்தேன். அதனால்தான் சினிமாவில் எனக்கு இடைவெளி விழுந்தது. இப்போது அதில் இருந்து எழுந்து வந்து விட்டேன்.''

இவ்வாறு கார்த்திக் கூறியதும், ``நீங்கள் முள் என்று குறிப்பிட்டது, அரசியலையா?'' என்று நிருபர்கள் கேட்டார்கள்.

``இல்லை. நாம் சினிமாவை பற்றி பேசுகிறோம். அரசியல் பற்றி அல்ல'' என்று புதிர் போட்டார், கார்த்திக்.

கடைசிவரை அவர் `முள்' என்று குறிப்பிட்டதற்கு விளக்கம் அளிக்கவே இல்லை.

[tscii:ebb04edeaa]From BW review of Maanja Velu (http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/maanja-velu-arun-vijay-prabhu.html)

Talking about the cast will take some doing because of the array of artistes present. But, first one has to discuss Karthik. If anyone has to know the meaning of a great comeback, then they have to go and watch Karthik in Maanja Velu. He surprises and delights. Surprises, because after all these years of oblivion he has come back looking just as dashing and charming as he was in his heydays. Delightful, because Tamil cinema has been missing this kind of an actor for sometime now. One great thing about this comeback is that like many other lead actors of his time, Karthik has not resurfaced as a senior character artiste. Looking at him in Maanja Velu, one feels that he is good enough to reemerge as a lead star all over again. At many points in the movie he rolls back the years and his fans (there were quite a few of them in the audience) were in raptures, especially when he danced to ‘Rajadhi Raja’ song from ‘Agninatchathiram’. All in all, this is one of the best comebacks of the decade and we hope he is here to stay.

:clap: :clap: :clap: I am watching this.[/tscii:ebb04edeaa]

[Nerd]

From IndiaGlitz review (http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/review/11477.html)

The man who is credited with many hits in 1980s and early 1990s, makes a strong comeback in 'Maanja Velu'. Playing an honest and upright cop, Karthik is impressive not just in stunt sequences but also in comedy.

Veteran actor Prabhu does a cameo, which does have a positive impact on screen. But the scene-stealer is Karthik. The veteran has done a commendable job and announced his re-entry with a bang.

Talking about the cast will take some doing because of the array of artistes present. But, first one has to discuss Karthik. If anyone has to know the meaning of a great comeback, then they have to go and watch Karthik in Maanja Velu. He surprises and delights. Surprises, because after all these years of oblivion he has come back looking just as dashing and charming as he was in his heydays. Delightful, because Tamil cinema has been missing this kind of an actor for sometime now. One great thing about this comeback is that like many other lead actors of his time, Karthik has not resurfaced as a senior character artiste. Looking at him in Maanja Velu, one feels that he is good enough to reemerge as a lead star all over again. At many points in the movie he rolls back the years and his fans (there were quite a few of them in the audience) were in raptures, especially when he danced to ‘Rajadhi Raja’ song from ‘Agninatchathiram’. All in all, this is one of the best comebacks of the decade and we hope he is here to stay.

Thanks Nerd! Will check out "Maanja Velu" for Karthik.

It's been sooooo many years since Karthik acted in a film (thanks to his indiscipline and some other addictive habits). Glad the man is back, atlast. Hope Karthik has done a good job as the reviews suggest. Screen stealer, you bet he is. In my book, during the 80's, I always rate Karthik and Sathyaraj as my favourite actors after the "big two"! 8-)

Even in "Raavanan" besides MR, ARR and Vikram - I'm eager to see Karthik on the big screen. Hope he has a meaty role to play in "Raavanan". :)

From Rediff (http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/may/21/south-tamil-review-manja-velu.htm)

More than half the movie belongs to Karthik, anyway. It's a pleasure to see this actor return to the big screen after aeons (even if his cheeks sag, and his watery eyes remind you of the years gone by). He has a boyish charm that makes the dialogues, dances and friendly family spats all worthwhile. With him, Santhanam (his Nadodigal spoof is neat), Ganja Karuppu, Chandrasekhar, Vijay Kumar and even Prabhu (literally) crowding the screen, the director has wisely decided to let Arun Vijay have his rein in the last hour and ends up playing spoilsport. :rotfl3:

If you can ignore Arun Vijay's melodramatic histrionics, hour-long fights and crazy climaxes; Karthik and the comedians make Manja Velu a complete masala entertainer.

[tamizharasan]

Karthik gave lot of hopes and promises at the beginning. After certain point of time he became monotonous with dialogue delivery and acting. Hopefully he will avoid all those shortcomings in the future. He still has a big dormant fan base in tamilnadu. All he needs is one good performance and he will be back to his roots.

The films he has been doing mid 90s onward did not do justice to his talent (with exception of one or two, maybe), so this is definitely a good news. Welcome back, Karthik, hope this time there will be projects that can really make use of your talent fully. :)

[tscii:6bbd64bd4b]Second innings begins


T. KRITHIKA REDDY


As Karthik returns to showville after a self-imposed hiatus, he talks about rediscovering the joy of acting.

As I try to piece together the various links in my memory files about Karthik, I'm spoilt for choice. In a career spanning two decades and more, the actor has proved his redoubtable talent in a variety of genres.

The once bankable star, who had faded into oblivion is back in tinselville with not just one, but three films. Smoothly slipping into the comfort zone of a character artiste, the 49-year-old actor says he's returned to where he belongs. A spontaneous performer, he's like a genie in the bottle. All you have to do is unscrew the stopper, and he performs — as he's done in his recent release ‘Maanja Velu.'

“I haven't felt this good in a long time,” the actor opens up. “It's great to be back after so many years. The welcoming vibe around me is encouraging. I don't know why I left the scene for this long…” There's a tinge of sadness in his voice. But just the way he flitted effortlessly from emotionally overpowering roles to scintillating comedies, Karthik's mood swings and he gushes, “Director Mani Ratnam was the reason behind a major milestone in my career (think the effervescent Manohar delivering the unforgettable Mr. Chandramouli… dialogue in ‘Mouna Ragam'). I was taken aback when he called me for a role in ‘Raavanan.' He's matured with every film and my admiration for him remains unabated. Though it was not a very big role in terms of footage, I was a bit nervous. So I reported on the sets three days early to get a feel of it. I realised I had missed so much during my self-imposed hiatus. After a warm-up scene, I felt completely back in form. I rediscovered the joy of acting and began to enjoy the chaotic world of films once again.”

It was during the shooting of ‘Raavanan' that Karthik was called to play a substantial role in ‘Maanja Velu.' “I play a cop. I could instantaneously relate to the character. I realise I can't be the hero any more. So it's time to experiment and do the kind of roles that were once outside my radar. I can probably take character roles to another level.”

As news of Karthik's re-entry spread in Kollywood, messages poured in from several directors, including P. Vasu, who has signed up the actor for his upcoming ‘Pulivesham.'

“Nine years ago, I was going through a chaotic phase marked by several wrong decisions. I felt I needed a break. But I never thought it would take this long. I realise how much film making has changed. The dance steps have become more rigorous, the music sounds different and the packaging is so slick. Film promos and publicity events now make news and technically, we've made massive strides.”

Career-defining roles

The actor, who made his debut as the cupid-struck teenager in Bharatiraaja's ‘Alaigal Oivadhillai' in the early 1980s, was swept by a wave of career-defining roles since. “On the third day after I was spotted, I found myself facing the camera. I knew nothing about acting. It's been a roller-coaster ride for me. Before I even realised that acting was my calling, I found myself neck-deep in films. As far as acting is concerned, I do a little homework in my head. That's it.”

Radha (‘Alaigal Oivadhillai'), Revathi (‘Kizhaku Vaasal,' ‘Mouna Ragam') or Ramba (‘Ullathai Alli Thaa'), Karthik's history of successful on-screen chemistry with his co-stars cannot be erased from cine-goers' minds.

“Romance? Yes, why not. Some mature on-screen romance is okay as long as it appears natural. Even in my prime, I wasn't quite comfortable running around trees.”

The heart-warming ‘Varusham 16' with Kushboo and the touching ‘Gokulathil Seethai' were a couple of films in which Karthik fulfilled the desire in him to excel. “I just went with the directors. I was lucky to work with the best in the 1980s and 1990s. I learnt a lot.” Though he played many sentiment-suffused roles, Karthik came up trumps in comedy as well. “I love comedy. I believe the basic premise of making films is to entertain.”

Like every successful actor, Karthik too dreams of direction. “I've been working on my own scripts and learning the art of screenplay writing. I'm creating some characters for myself — the types I've never been offered or never will be. It's time to explore new realms of creativity.”

On karthik Jr.

My son is keen on entering films. He is a natural when it comes to facing the camera. But I don't want him to miss out on academics or his normal life as a student. I know what films can do to you.

So let him wait and make an entry when he is mature enough to handle the showbiz whirligig. I'll welcome him with open arms when it happens.
