Favorite Scenes/Songs from THALAIVAR Rajini films #3

[AudazJay]

Polladhavan is not perfect by any means. The director was previously directing Sivaji films, so you can't expect "subtle"ness if that means what I think it means to some in this forum.

No wonder! If such a script was written for Sivaji, he would probably have filled in the gaps and holes with his royal laugh, or slow-mo walk with his stick or even by twitching his eyebrows up and down. Rajini OTOH, was just clueless about which expressions to give and end up looking goofy or worse shunning away from the camera.

There's no need to cover loop holes in script. That kinda film those days didn't have loop holes, they had caves and sink holes, etha coverup pannurathu.

One thing I don't like seeing in Rajini is being relaxed, that's where he starts to look fake. Like a shark that need to constantly move to be alive, Rajini needs to be constantly brimming with energy, moving, emoting, assisted by punch lines, or punch dialogues, etc.

Aahhh...this is where I have to differ. No one can do the energetic roles like him, I agree. Then again, I've also yet to see any other actors doing the subtle and toned down roles in the stylish manner as he does. Chandramukhi was definitely not subtle, Grouch. It was merely comical- blame it on P. Vasu! I was thinking along the lines of Naan Sivappu Manithan, the second half of Puthu Kavithai and to an extent, even portions of Thalapathi- Not much of talking, yet suave and charming. This is definitely one of those "only Rajini-possible" stuff!
