1980-2000 - Best movies & Their Reviews

[selvamohankumar]

Greetings Hubbers!

Yesterday as i was watching the Tv, i was listening to this song "Poovae sempovae un vasam varum", i donno the movie name too. God I am so bad that i like this song to the core but never know its movie name also and the worst thing is karthick gives some big reactions in that song, i don know why he does that too. I really felt bad of it. Now i wanted to know abt the entire best films list in the time between 1980-2000. The best source i know is our Hub! Please list the movies which are best the time period. Its big help for me and those really doesnt know tamil cinema in those days! A detailed review about those movies will also be helpful.

[groucho070]

The best source i know is our Hub! :rotfl: Sorry, the film is Solla Tudikkuthu Manasu, a film about nothing, except great songs. I like Talaivar's display pix you have, nice :smile:

Now i wanted to know abt the entire best films list in the time between 1980-2000.

ok, let me list a few movies post 1980 that I've enjoyed a lot, with brief intro.

ஜானி, 1980, directed by Mahendran, music by IR, Rajinikanth (2 roles) and Sridevi.

The mature love between stage singer Sridevi and clever criminal Johnny is one of the best portrayed in TF. One has to be prepared for the relaxed way of story telling by the director and not become impatient, wanting many "sudden-events"

மூன்றாம் பிறை, 1982, directed by Balu Mahendra, music by IR, Kamal / Sridevi.

The exquisite love and affection the school teacher Kamal showers on Sridevi, a "girl-in-woman's-body" (due to accident / amnesia), is poetic.

பயணங்கள் முடிவதில்லை, 1982, directed by R Sundarrajan, music by IR, Mohan / Poornima Jayaraman

A musical love story with seven fantastic songs placed in nice situations - the love between the singer Mohan and poet Poornima is soft and heart warming

சலங்கை ஒலி, 1983, directed by K Viswanath, Thamizh version of Telugu Sagarasangamam, music by IR, Kamal / Jayapradha

Showcases Kamal's classical dance capabilities with award winning music score by Raja. The platonic love between the leads is one of the best "soft and soothing" on screen

சிந்துபைரவி , 1985, directed by K Balachandar, music by IR, Sivakumar / Suhasini / Sulakshana

Story of a classical singer who falls into an adulterous relationship with a fan who challenges him to take classical music to all classes of people. Another award winning score by Raja

....to be continued :-)

பயணங்கள் முடிவதில்லை, 1982, directed by R Sundarrajan, music by IR, Mohan / Poornima Jayaraman

A musical love story with seven fantastic songs placed in nice situations - the love between the singer Mohan and poet Poornima is soft and heart warming

[app_engine]

continuing the list...

முதல் மரியாதை, 1985, Directed by Bharathiraja, music by IR, Sivaji Ganesan / Radha, Lyrics by Vairamuthu

Presented with mild humor, poem and aesthetics, this movie deals with the complex issues facing a respected villager -Sivaji -trapped inside an unhappy marriage. Especially when he finds comfort in the company of a much younger woman -Radha - who comes to the village to make a living

பூவே பூச்சூட வா, 1985, Directed by Fazil, remake of Malayalam நோக்கெத்தா தூரத்து கண்ணும் நட்டு, music by IR, Nadhiya / Padmini / SV Sekar

Sweet story that is unique for portraying the love between an old lady and her grand daughter, told with some humor and sweet songs

அஞ்சலி, 1990, Directed by Maniratnam, music by IR, Raghuvaran / Revathy / Prabhu / kids

Tale of a girl child born with a disability and not expected to live longer. Some scenes can be too emotional and powerful to force tears gushing out while the movie is mostly fun with kids and groovy songs

நாயகன், 1987, Directed by Maniratnam, music by IR, Kamal / Saranya

Story of a Thamizh underworld don in Mumbai brought alive on screen by Kamal with a lot of twists / bravado / emotions

மௌனராகம், 1986, Directed by Maniratnam, music by IR, Mohan / Karthik / Revathy

Tragic episode in life haunts the girl Revathy when circumstances force her into a marriage not to her liking. The troubled relationship with the husband Mohan is poetically presented with some sweet songs

...to be continued

Well, it had a lot to do with nostalgia in my case. Till I got out of college, there was still a poet inside me and right from the iLaya nilA scene, one automatically jumps into Poornima's mind when watching the movie.

From that viewpoint, it's a thrilling movie :-)

Also, decency / uncomplicated presentation / nice performance by artists etc provide a wholesome experience - which I repeated several times in theater during college years :-)

[app_engine]

I generally like the kind of suspense that the audience know but a main character does not know and how it gets manifest. That could be another reason for liking PM.

Another thing - vAzhvE mAyam & PM happened just around the same time period - with very similar love story/ terminal illness stuff. While one was a javvu for me because of the prostitute character (despite having Kamal / Sridevi / decent songs etc), the other was decent with some sharp dialogs (உன் கல்யாணத்துக்கு ஓசில பாடறேன்னு சொன்னானே) and presented fresh.

[rajeshkrv]

there is nothing wrong in Radharavi's voice . One of the best voices(for an Actor) of TFM.How many modulations and how many variations (mannerisms) ..

[app_engine]

நெஞ்சத்தைக்கிள்ளாதே, 1981, Directed by Mahendran, Music by IR, Pratap / Mohan / Suhasini, Cinematography by Ashok Kumar

Music way ahead of its times is the mainstay in this soft movie that tells how a mischevous, bubbly youth ends up paying heavily for her unkind act to an irritable sister-in-law. That, with an award winning "pleasant-to-eyes" cinematography

ஆண் பாவம், 1985, Directed by Pandiyarajan, Music by IR, Pandiyan / Seetha / Revathy / Pandiyarajan

A heady mixture of fun, romance and sadness, presented with some extraordinary BGM and sweet songs. Some expected stereotypes and some totally unexpected turns / scenes make this movie an unique experience

நான் பாடும் பாடல், 1984, Directed by R Sundarrajan, Music by IR, Mohan / Ambika / Sivakumar / Goundamani

Possibly the most decent romance shown in TF - between singer Ambika and admirer Mohan. Movie is a heady mixture of top-class songs, tragic event, hilarious comedy scenes and cliche'd climax

வைதேகி காத்திருந்தாள், 1984, Directed by R Sundarrajan, Music by IR, Vijayakanth / Revathy / Goundamani

Musically rich, this is a movie of many tragic events but cleverly fused with some rib-tickling stuff and a successful romance to ensure viewer pleasure. One-of-a-kind movie by way of usage of stars and packaging

ஒரு கைதியின் டைரி, 1985, Directed by Bharathiraja, Music by IR, Kamal / Radha / Revathy

On the surface, a typical revenge story with 3 villains - the magical number for films. OTOH, the presentation was novel that ensured the attention of viewers. The "romance-after-marriage" between Kamal & Radha is perhaps one of the sweetest seen on-screen and so are the "peculiar-situation-interactions" between a girl and her would-be-father-in-law

...to be continued

[app_engine]

நூறாவது நாள், 1984, Directed by Manivannan, Music by IR, Vijayakanth / Mohan / Nalini / Sathyaraj

Thriller featuring a girl with ESP that gives her clue as to both inexplicable past events and possible forthcoming dangers. Ofcourse, unbelievable without accounting for occult. However, the movie is presented in an enthralling manner and some innovative, localized BGM

என் பொம்முக்குட்டி அம்மாவுக்கு, 1988, Directed by Fazil, remade from என்டே மாமாட்டுக்குட்டி அம்மைக்கு, Music by IR, Sathyaraj / Raghuvaran / Suhasini / Rekha

Sweet songs and a sweet kid make this movie watching very pleasant while some scenes / tragic events could be moving. The other highlight is (mostly) measured and mature performance by all artists. Sure, there're some FF sequences but overall a nice watch

கரகாட்டக்காரன், 1989, Directed by Gangai Amaran, Music by IR, Ramarajan / Kanaga / Goundamani / Senthil

Sure it had inspirations from the classic Thillana Moganambal, but the heady mix of rustic music that makes one dance combined with phenomenal comedy scenes ensures the appeal of this movie for many watches

அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள், 1989, Directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, Music by IR, Kamal (3 roles), Gowthami, Roobini

While the dwarf Kamal is the main attraction of this tale, the respo of making one laugh to the point the rib pains is given to his brother. Sure, the revenge with villains (not 3 but 4) is there but like OKD, the presentation is in a novel format that makes this movie special

தூறல் நின்னு போச்சு, 1982, Directed by K Bhagyaraj, Music by IR, Bhagyaraj / Sulakshana / Nambiar

Some hilarious sequences, innocent expressions of the female lead, typical cliche's, dramatic turns - all concocted into a simple village romance story. Some exotic music and songs make it extremely pleasnt to watch!

@App:

THanks alot. ALready i have more than 10 movies to be watched now. Ur review kindles me to watch those!

i wonder a movie Ponnumani by karthick, it was too good for me but it doesnt make it many ppl favourite. The songs were also great. Was that movie in best movies list of that year?

[hattori_hanzo]

hattori_hanzo ,

rajeshkrv, i said nothing wrong about his voice. My quote was just a reply to the question raised on Karthik's shocked expression. :-) I agree Radharavi has a gifted voice but he hasnt been utilized properly in TFI. Especially in the 90's he played the cliched role of a villiage chieftain AND/OR heroine's brother or father.

[hattori_hanzo]

I dont think so. Kizhakku Vasal, released before Ponnumani was a better movie & a big hit.

[groucho070]

Ponnumani was well known as a followup to the hit Kizhakku Vasal, mattapadi just the songs. I don't remember what the movie is about, except it features a misunderstood poor Karthik, a different role that a poor misunderstood Karthik in Kizhakku Vasal. However, the director, Uthayakumar then directed Karthik again as poor misunderstood Karthik in Nanthavana Theru a totally forgettable film, even the songs despite IR.

I think it did reasonably well. There was another followup to this followup - Muthukkalai (Karthik, Soundarya, Napolean). And many more followups to Kizhakku Vasal - like Deiva Vaakku (Karthik, Revathi), Katta Panjayathu etc

Poor Misunderstood Karthik - LOL.

[groucho070]

Okay, they are PM Karthik followup. Nan sonnathu RVUK/PMK followup. Dang, sound like political coalition now.

[Stiglitz]

"Poor Misunderstood Karthik" is a Genre by itself! Unnedathil Ennai Koduthean, That one film with double action karthik, one dies, so the other pretends to be him, to uplift his whole family, only to get caught and crucified in the climax... Don't remember the name.

Karthik seriously has done his share of these films... Masochistic Fellow! :lol2:

[raajarasigan]

Sandhita Velai ?

[Stiglitz]

Thats the one! :)

This style is also Director Vikraman's Fort!

He made another with that guy from Unakku 18 Enakku 20... Same Type of story... Friend works his ass off to make his other friends big shots, the families which disowned his friends return after their sucesses, only to neglect and try to sideline the Thyagi. In the end, alls well ends well, with the overdone BG Score which is painfully repetitive throughout the movie...

Thyagam, Misunderstanding and Irritatingly Repetitive BGM are all important elements to a Vikraman Film IMO. :P

naane enkku pudicha padatha list pottuduven.. :P

This good/bad/classic/commercial etc are all individual opinions only :-)

So, please go ahead and list movies you liked and what aspect attracted you to encourage a revisit...

In my list (20 so far from the 1980-2000 time frame), the criteria is one or more special aspects that were differentiators to the movie, i.e. when it arrived, from the rest of those flooding out in the time frame.

All of them were received well by public to a decent degree, IMO, for this reason.

Ofcourse, each of them had some dragging moments, some irritable elements here and there (e.g. silukku scenes in moondRAm piRai) but they didn't eclipse the movie's USPs.

At the minimum, those were not made like "let's have a big star / good looking girl / 5-6 catchy songs / 3-4 long fights / 3-4 suddent twists, one necessarily at interval / 2-3 unconnected comedy scenes / 2-3 tearjerker scenes" :-)

[app_engine]

நன்றி, San_K and rajkumarc:-)

Let me add some more to the list, from the 80's & 90's. (I'm sticking to IR movies. Obviously, there were nice ones with other composers as well. I'm leaving them out for the respective composers' fans to come and highlight).

பன்னீர் புஷ்பங்கள், 1981, Directed by Sandhanabharathi - P Vasu (Bharathi-Vasu), music by IR, Pratap / Suresh / Shanthi Krishna

A rare film that handled adolescent infatuation with maturity :-) and shown realistically the feelings for opposite sex / associated jealousy etc. Like a whiff of fresh air, this film avoided most cliche's of TF prior and was blessed with fantastic music and pleasant cinematography in the Ooty setting

ராஜபார்வை, 1981, Directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, Music by IR , Kamal / Madhavi, publicised as Kamal's 100th film

Romance of a talented violinist who is blind. Phenomenal score by IR combined with nice performances by the writer as well as the leads. One of the very few cases where a movie I liked didn't click with public. Not because of "lack of publicity" - a Kamal movie, that too his 100th, good reviews, popular songs etc meant good visibility. Why failed? Inexplicable! Looking back, I can probably reason that this movie was a case of "coming ahead of its time". If remade with some multiplex-friendly star & comedian, with absolutely no change, this may score well today

மலையூர் மம்பட்டியான், 1983, Directed by Rajasekar, music by IR, Thiagarajan / Saritha

What happens when a highly expressive Saritha develops feelings for Thiagarajan (Mambattiyan) with absolutely no expressions? Watch for that in this tale of glorification of a toughie villager, who was a real-life criminal per TN police records

உன்னை நான் சந்தித்தேன், 1984, Directed by P Rangaraj, Music by IR, Revathy / Suresh / Sujatha / Sivakumar

Wife-suspecting husband resorts to cheap method to spy on her, resulting in a split. What happens to them in the rest of the life is told with sweet music and some emotional moments

உதய கீதம், 1985, Directed by P Rangaraj, Music by IR, Revathy / Mohan / Goundamani

Stage singer Mohan is convicted for murder and facing capital punishment. Fan Revathy is madly in love with him and wants to live with him, even if it's for only a few days under surveillance. Great songs, enjoyable picturization despite "thrusted" situations

கடலோரக்கவிதைகள், 1986, Directed by Bharathiraja, Music by IR, Sathyaraj / Rekha / Ranjani

Typical love story - village toughie falls for the new teacher assigned to serve there and it's both ways too, then there are others - muRaippoNNu for the man / sophi boy for the girl etc - but the presentation layer and the fantastic music makes it a nice watch. Caution - turn off English subtitles, one of the most horrible ever

மைக்கேல், மதன, காம, ராஜன், 1990, Directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, Music by IR, Kamal (4 roles), Kushbu, Oorvasi, Roobini, Nagesh

Tale of identical quadruplets, separated at birth by villains in the beginning of the movie. Told with sweet songs, fantastic on-screen performances, romance, humor and some irritating chase / fights but never anything serious

சிங்காரவேலன், 1992, Directed by R V Udhayakumar, Music by IR, Kamal / Kushbu, Goundamani

Village boy sets out to go to city to find his muRaippoNNu as per mother's advice. The only problem is the families lost contact when the girl was still a small baby. There's enmity between families as well. Mostly humorous but turns a bit melodramatic towards the end. Thankfully, recovers to humor again in the last scene

மகாநதி, 1994, Directed by Santhanabharathi, Music by IR, Kamal / Suganya

Highly emotional movie - tale of a naive villager who gets lured by a cheat and ends up in jail while his children are scattered to pitiable conditions. NOT for the weak hearted

சதிலீலாவதி, 1995, Directed by Balu Mahendra, Music by IR, Kamal / Kovai Sarala / Ramesh Aravind / Heera

Man helps a friend to get back to life after he gets into an adulterous relationship and neglects family. Instead of taking a serious path, the whole thing is told in a humorous manner

[app_engine]

There are also many popular IR movies during this period (that are not the usual masAlAs) that I didn't watch as my movie watching pattern is like sine curve.

So, let it not be limited to mine or just a monologue - please others post your favourties that can be recommended to the next generation.

I've included only some "intro" notes for the 80-00 movies that I liked and thought of recommending in this thread to any "next gen" people :-) A little extra than mere listing but no "evaluation" of the said movies which I'm not qualified to do.

So, please don't take them as reviews.

I've tried to avoid 'masAlA' movies as much as possible. So, the movies mannan / dharmathin thalaivan / devar magan won't come in my list, even though portions of them are thoroughly enjoyable :-)

nizhalgan / enakkuL oruvan - I love the songs but the movies were boring to the core.

sippikkuL muthu & sethu - yes, these should be in my next (possibly last) list in this thread.

kadhal kavithai & semparuththi - didn't have a chance to watch these movies. Why don't you write about them? :wink:

ரொம்ப ரொம்பச் சரி! அப் பாவிப் பெண்ணாகக் கிராமத்தில் வந்து இறங்கும்போது, அருமை மனைவியாகக் கணவனுக்குப் பணிவிடை செய்யும்போது, அவருடன் சிணுங்கிக் கொஞ்சும்போது, எதிர்பாராதவிதமாக அந்தோணியால் கெடுக்கப்படும்போது, வார்த்தைகளால் அவனைச் சித்ரவதை செய்யும்போது, அவன் மரணத்துக்குப் பின் கதறித் துடிக்கும்போது – கற்பனையில் அனுராதாரமணன் கண்ட பாகீரதியைக் கண் முன் நிறுத்தியிருப்பதில் லட்சுமிக்கு 100% வெற்றி! அப்புறம், ராஜேஷை மறந்துவிட்டீர்களே? அந்தோணிசாமியாக அவரும் பிரமாதப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறார்!

விகடனில் வெளியாகிப் பரிசு பெற்ற சிறுகதை, அதே அழுத்தத்துடன் திரையில் சொல்லப்பட்டிருப்பதில் உங்களுக்கு மகிழ்ச்சிதானே?
கண்டிப்பாக! விகடனில் வெளியான கதை என்பதற்காக இல்லை. அச்சில் வந்த எந்தக் கதையுமே படமாகும்போது சீர் கெட்டுச் சின்னாபின்னமாவதையே அதிகம் பார்த்திருக்கிறோம்! அதனால்!

இந்தச் சிறுகதையை சினிமா மீடியத்துக்குக் கொண்டு வரும் போது, படிக்கும்போதிருந்த விறுவிறுப்பும் அழுத்தமும் சற்றும் குறையாமல், ஏன், அதைவிட ஒரு படி அதிகமாகவே இருக்கும் அளவுக்குத் திரைக்கதை அமைத்துள்ள டைரக்டர் ஆர்.சி. சக்தியின் திறமைக்கு நாங்கள் கொடுக்க விரும்பும் போனஸ் ஐந்து மார்க்கையும் சேர்த்து…

பெரும்பான்மை வாசகர்களுக்குப் பிடித்த அம்சம்: லட்சுமியின் நடிப்பு.

பிடிக்காத அம்சம்: அனுராதாவின் கவர்ச்சி நடனம்.

I've included only some "intro" notes for the 80-00 movies that I liked and thought of recommending in this thread to any "next gen" people :-) A little extra than mere listing but no "evaluation" of the said movies which I'm not qualified to do.

So, please don't take them as reviews.

I've tried to avoid 'masAlA' movies as much as possible. So, the movies mannan / dharmathin thalaivan / devar magan won't come in my list, even though portions of them are thoroughly enjoyable :-)

nizhalgan / enakkuL oruvan - I love the songs but the movies were boring to the core.

sippikkuL muthu & sethu - yes, these should be in my next (possibly last) list in this thread.

kadhal kavithai & semparuththi - didn't have a chance to watch these movies. Why don't you write about them? :wink:

Devar Magan 'masala' padam aayiduchu.. !!!!!!!!!!
