All times in EST +10:30 for IST.
That s from this person who has seen Gauravam,Ooti Varai Uravu,Anda Naal atleast 10 times.I had wept seeing Pasamalar,Kappal ootiya thamizhan.
But I cried after seeing Lorry Driver Rajakannu.To watch " 2+1" dialogue from the mouth that voiced Sakthi Krishnaswami s powerful dialogues ,boy!it pains even today.When did the fall start?
Dr.Siva
Ilaya Thalaimurai
Rojavin Raja
Dharmaraja
Dhramam Enge?
General Chakravarthy
Pilot Premnath
Ratha pasam
Vetrikku oruvan
Uthaman
He made producers go bankrupt paying the Tailors who tailored his Coat! Your thoughts on these movies are welcome.
I watched all these dud movies.MSV was a saving grace in some of them.(Appada TFM connection established!)

Errata:
Pls read "..has be going nuts." as "me going nuts". Well, getting real..
And was Vetrikku Oruvan the one with the curly hair wig? A Yoganand movie with karate or kung-fu? Was Bruce Lee alive that time?

Suresh,That was an exemplary research on Sivaji s Costumes and their designs!
Do you suspect "Vetrikku oruvan Sivaji s" hand in Bruce lee s untimely,mysterious and tragic death?
I think people like Chinna Annamalai and other members of coterie worked overtime to choose his wigs,costumes,locations heroines and at last,stories.Dharmaraja was Chinna Annamalai s own production.You can see Sivaji defying the laws of physics and would use a parachute to climb up!Is there a Telugu NTR original or a remake of Dharmaraja?
The other day we were talking about Sivaj s marathon walkathon around chennai with his convocation dress in Ilaya Thalaimurai.The only "Equal" i can think of is Manoj Kumar as College student in "Clerk".I recommend "Clerk" and all friends and foes for extravagant unadulterated entertainment.
Chihtra pournami -Sivaji sports a wig which was subsequently borrowed by Cher.JL was the sole relief.
KS Kutralalingam was another plotter.Ponnunjal atleast had great songs.But Oorukku oru Pillai was another milestone in Sivaji s anti-social career.
JL,Vanishree and KRV were atleast in their fag end of their career.But Sripirya,a talented actress,was the biggest casualty TF suffered because of Sivaji s overdrive.

MSV in the late 70s and 80s had this knack of coming up with the worst scores for his own movies. 'mangaLavAthhiyam' is the perfect case of sado masochism. 'thuLLi varum kALai', 'vaNdI nA vaNdi thAn' are at best, 'switch-off-the-radio'
c(r)lass. Add to this TMS for Kamal joke called 'veLLa kAkkA mallAkka padukkuthu' and you have an instance of the most gory suicide ever attempted.

I hereby invite Naaz, an eternal 80s Sivaji fan to contribute to the fanfare :). I am sure the list of movies here give you the (cool)goose pimples :).

Curious that the gallery of erudite Shivaji fans have missed a mention about pattakkatthi bhairavan.

Miruthanga Chakaravarthy was super duper hit. I think I was in 3rd standard. we were in madurai. there was a theater called Jayaraj. there the movie was running. we went there twice and didn't get the tickets. it was so crowded.
Anbe Aruyire has some good songs. better dont watch the movie. records the songs and listen.
1. mallihai mullai poo pandthal
2. osai varamal
3. raaja veethi
satyam has one good song.
1. kalyanak koyilin deiveehak kalasam jayachitra's
performance in the movie was amazing. kamalahasam performance against JC was immatured.
Vaira Nenjam. I remember the songs
1. Chenthamizh Paadum Chandthanak Kaatru
2. Neerada Neram nalla Neram (god! it was sridhar's movie. I cudn't believe it)
Mannavan Vandthanadi. Only consoling thing in this
movie is "Kaathal Raajiyam Enathu" song. Please just record and listen to this song.
Pilot Premnath was ok. I remember many good songs in that movie.
Rojavin Raja has two good songs.
1. Alangaram kalaiyatha Chilai onru kandean
2. janakanin mahalai manamahalaaha
movie?! stay away from the cassette or
vcd or anything else.
Rathapaasam has three good songs.
1. spb and sasirekha - poo manakum poongkuzhali (if u hvn't listened, please listen. it is a good song.)
2. maan kutti ippothu en kaiyile
3. en ullam enkinra vaanathile pon megam thavazhirathu (all these three songs are really good). movie is real hopeless. shot in
italy. too much.
Uthaman has three good songs. KVM was the MD.
1. Kellai Mahane Kelloru Vaarthai
2. Naalai Naalai Enrirundthean
3. Hari Ohm Ranga Hari
( I guess it must be a remake of some hindi movie)
Dr.Siva has some good songs.
1. Kaathal Charithirathaip padika vaarungal
2. malare kurinji malare
3. en manathu onruthaan (is it in this movie?)
the rest of all in the movie list are junk.

Suresh and OISG,
That was hilarious. You guys have wodehouse's humor, what could poor Sivaji do ?
By the bye, what is the name of hte movie, in which he has three roles and has Sridevi as one of his 'jodi'?. I remember it was a hit.

Da Vinci
I normally accept all accolade that come my way as there are too few these days.Thanks.After a nice pasting from Rani Padmini ......a breath of fresh air!
That movie is Santhippu.
NT sports a Silver wig.Ganesan s passion for special "Wigs" was getting legendary and people even called Ganesan "Wigneswaran"
The duet was "Vaarthai nanadi kannamma Varna mettu neethan".
Vengayam!
Was it Rishimoolam where Chakravarthy steals the thunder under NT s nose?

G.Ragavan ,
Following are some more songs from the 70's Sivaji films :
Uththaman
1. Padagu padagu aasaip padagu...
2. neengaL aththanai pErum uththamarthaanaa sollungaL! ungaL aasai nenjaith thottup paarththu k koLLungaL!uLLavanellaam nallavanaavaan illaathavanE pollaathavanaam bhoomiyilE!
3. One more song where Sivaji just stands on a pair of skates without moving an inch!
'uththaman' was indeed a remake of some Hindi film and had a Telugu version also with NTR (??) and ManjuLaa.
Dr Siva
1. Kannangaruththa kuyil niRaththavaLE iru kannanguzhiyum vaNNam siriththavaLE! aaranjuth thOttam pakkam aattam pOttu vanthEn! naalanju naaLaa ingE nOttam pOttu vanthEn!

G.Ragavan ,
Some more details:
Vaira Nenjam.
'adi kaarthiga maasamadi! kalyaaNa seasonadi!'
Sivaji and Padmapriya come in the guise of some Telugu speaking gypsies, for stealing some diamond necklace or some such stuff from A.Sakunthala.
Mannavan Vandthanadi.
"Kaathal Raajiyam Enathu" I have been to MaNimuththaaRu dam twice in my life. On both the occasions, peple told me
' ingathaan sir "Kaathal Raajiyam Enathu" shooting eduththaanga!'.

C V- 'Neegal athanai perum' is from En Magan, I think, not Uthaman?
Adhu sari- Never thought that you'll mention that LDR dialogue- You have become a 'kurumbi' again!

Cinema Virumbi,
"neengal athanai perum uthamarthaana chollungal" is in "En Mahan". That movie has one more good song "Ponnukenna Azahu Poovukenna Perumai".
Yes. I remember the other songs of Dr.Siva and Rojavi Raja.
Vaira Nenjam movie came in TV some time back. But I couldn't sit and watch. Iw as wondering how can Sridhar make such a movie. Also "Mohanap Punnahai". Good theme. Bad screen play and casting. But that movie has very good songs.
1. Thennilangai mangai vennilavin thangai by Janaki
2. Fabulous duet by SPB and Vani Jayaram - Thalaivi Ennai thaalatum mellidai aruvi
3. Wonderful patho by TMS - Kalyanamam Kacheriyam Ponoonjalam Poomalaiyaam Jo Jo Jo Jorari Jo. It is a real good song.
I guess, Mohanap Punnahai was the last movie of Sridhar-MSV combination. Three heroines in the movie. One was Jayabharathi. Uncle's daughter of Sivaji. She falls in single sided love with Sivaji. Sivaji loves someone (I dont know the name of the actress). During betrothal, Jayabharathi kills her with jealous and commits sucide. Then comes Anuradha (yes. the same cabaret dancer). Daughter of gardener where sivaji relocates to forget the past. with sympathy she falls in love with sivaji. but sivaji finds a groom for her. after marriage she leaves abroad by ship with her husband. but when the ship moves she jumps in to the sea. At her death sivaji starts loving her ( or something like that). This is the vauge story line I remember. Correct if it is wrong.
