Reading about Sendhil and GM in the comments, Rajakumaran comes to mind where they literally had a battle for oneupmanship, and to Sendhil's credit, in the ponnu paakkara scene, he does steal quite a bit of GM's thunder though GM has a lot of killer lines.<br />GM: Indha vEttiyum sattayum enga thirudina?<br />S: Neenga enga thirudineengalo, anga thaan naanum thirudinEn.<br />But GM has the most side splitting moments. The way he deflects Sendhil's repartee (GM: Naan vayasula periyavan. Ponnu enakku thaan. S: Appo aruvathaan kalyanam pannikunga)to the guy nearby, saying Dei naan ponnu ivanukku paaka valla... Genius. And GM seems more surprised with Sendhil's reply to the question on kotta eduthathaa edukkathatha... Wonder if the question, reply and the reaction was spontaneous. Each line is a gem in that scene.<br />Two strokes of genius in the scene. Sendhil latching onto GM's வாஞ்சை, as you say, when GM says En thmabiya kattikka ma, by saying aNNi is pure genius. And his final dialog justifying his laugh (need I put that dialog in words?)... Brilliant.<br />Talking about vaLLal, one scene that makes laugh thinking about it is the naNdu scene, the way he jabs mercilessly at Sendhil.

Always game for Goundamani movie memories (though for a second there, I read "Drums Mani" in the title and thought it was something about Sivamani!).<br /><br />Senthil used to (still does?) live in Saligramam, and I grew up in Vadapalani. So during summer hols, when dad and I morning-walked past his house (passing Rambha's first, then SA Chandrasekhar's, sometimes Vijayakanth's, depending on our chosen route on a given day), his filterkaapi-sipping, oonjal-swinging, near-bald, pitch-black and blissfully rotund self has waved at us from the front porch many a time.<br /><br />Gawd, I miss those days of celeb house sightings (enakku yennikumey konjam Kodambakkam kirukku thaan, maybe coz the house I was born and raised in (behind the Vpd bus depot's granite wall) was bookened by a Nadigar Sangam (dad used to dhamm adichufy in the teashop and chat with extras, sometimes) and a recording studio (for whose inauguration in the late 80s, we waited for hours swinging on our spiky front gate, until we saw SPB, Rajini Saar and other celebs (can't bother with recalling any more names) sail past us in open jeeps, slowing down to wave as they approached gates, like ours, spilling over with starstruck kids.<br /><br />BTW, Unga (suddha or suddhama puriyaadha? lol) thamizh naala thaan appo appo prachchanai (enakku) nu nenacha, sometimes "lost in transliteration" naala kooda prachchanaya irukku. Like this line: "Soru ketta arisiyum sudu thanniyum kuduththuruvaanga, naama thaan pongi thinganuma," which I originally (mis)contrued to be something about being given spoied rice and hot water... before I came back to it and went, "aah haa, ask-a"! :-)<br /><br />P.S: Speaking of Rambha and Gounder, Ullathai Alli Tha is one of my favorite "Mani" tracks (plus, the latter has great chemistry with Karthik, especially in the car-mechanic scene/song).Lexinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163960734160680580.post-26747907895879500712010-09-14T09:58:29.249+05:302010-09-14T09:58:29.249+05:30I've come across quite a few people from the G...I've come across quite a few people from the Gound's area for whom his way of talking and general attitude towards life/society comes very naturally - especially the opportunism, putting down others, sycophancy. A Gounder like attitude needs a slouch(Senthil) nearby to project itself strongly.<br /><br />I must concede that while Gound does entertain me a lot, I really avoid being around such personalities :-)TTMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163960734160680580.post-18924852990862853432010-09-13T15:40:15.493+05:302010-09-13T15:40:15.493+05:30ABVan, Senthil is a gem, his sense of timing is te...ABVan, Senthil is a gem, his sense of timing is terrific, particularly when he butts in with inappropriate interjections. <br /><br />kaLimaNkalayam, true but even that would not completely define him.

Next time in Singaravelan, try counting the number of times Kamal says: யோவ் நீ கொஞ்சம் சும்மா இருக்கியா. :D<br /><br />BNB, Senthil has many many terrific moments and has many times scored with lightnign fast timing.<br /><br />In one film (I think rAsAvin manasilE) both of them woo a lady who'se husband happens to return from prison. Just as she is trying to get them into trouble<br /><br />GM: தங்கச்சி...மாப்ள வந்ததை சொல்லவே இல்லையேம்மா<br />S: ஆமாக்கா<br /><br />While GM's elaborate வாஞ்சை is funny, Senthil immediately latching on to it is just side-splitting.

He was deadly in another scene in which Jaishankar pays Kamal a visit and accidentally steps on his foot: "டேய் வேலா, இங்க வராத. வந்தா இந்த புல்புல்தாரா மீசக்காரரு உன் கால மிதிச்சுடுவாரு!"<br /><br />I love his non-jokes! In Chinna Thambi, Kushbu asks him "எனக்கொரு உதவி செய்றீங்களா?" Goundamani says, "நான் சமையக்காரன்ங்க. எனக்கு சமையல்தாங்க தெரியும். உதவி எப்படிங்க தெரியும்?"
