Opening Scenes in Tamil Films

[mexicomeat]

I thought I will start a poll thread but I decided against it. I wanted to scribble a bit about the different opening / introduction scenes that I liked.

Please add your list to the thread.

Rajnikanth
Annamalai - When rajni is introduced as the new big shot in the business - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdR1DZTVdHU

Baasha - When the Baasha character is introduced - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ6KtcQnvOg

KamalHassan
Thevar Magan - When Kamal is re-introduced as the village chief after his father's death. The entire audience rejoiced the scene + IR's awesome BGM. It is a shame that I could not find this scene on youtube

Vijaykanth

Managara Kaval - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMV1zOiaBis Was it chandrabose who performed the BGM? Nice one.

Chinna Gounder - Again, I could not find this scene on youtube - but it is a classic introduction scene.

I heard/read that that role is an inspiration from the role played by Sivaji ganeshan in some old movie :?

Gouravam padamna odane oru nimisham confuse aayittEn.... konja late'a dhaan purinjadhu :oops:

i guess u r meaning the mannerism of Chakravarthy and Justice are similar.....if yes, then IMO, this is fine tuning 8-)

note: I have seen both the movies many time, but never thought in the angle of inspiration.

[groucho070]

The opening. Not showing the protagonist, the POV camera and all.

Performance inspiration oru pakkam, both film deal with father/son (Gouvaram nephew, but like son) battle due to father's character (Arrogance/Womanising). Mattapadi, Gouvaram oru imayam, Netrikann is a classic. :D

[selvamohankumar]

- film starts with kidnapping of thasildars on a rainy night... & they show VK's house as if some murder has happened :roll:

- IR gives the feel of the rain with his BGM :isai_kadavulE: :bow:

- VK with media player < sirikkalaam.. no problem.. pala periya comedigalai appuram vandhavanga minjittanga>

- kidnapping sequence mudiyum podhu.. IR - MS PRABHU ivanga peru... iravu mudindhu vidiyal varumpodhu oscar ravi & ARM peru..

- then VK intro... simplest ever.. & policemen's savaal "kandippa pidichuduvom" .. at same time in VK's house.. they show a cartoon character laughing at his statement...

another gem for VK :bow:
