Ditto here, I grew up watching his trash as spewed out by DD1,,
'Ennnama, more louder and slower, EN N A AA MMMAAAA'!
then saw some of his older movies. Kamal was on air recently and spoke
how Sivaji despitebeing short not a good looker, how he made people he
really had some personality and would make people look at him, his case
in point was a 'yaridi nee mogini' song, and another tamil rap numebr,
the mannerisms, his steps, his eyebrow movements.
That 'ANdha Naal' was something different all together. Subtly played,
no over acting, great restrained performance where even that irritaing
pandari bai, was ok. Great story of a national traitor, selling secret
info for Money to the Japanese, using a ham radio in his house. tHe
movie starts off with the arrival of the police to look at the dead body
of Sivaji. and the whole movie is about that 'tehakikat', unraveliing of
the mysteries in the family and finally the exposure of who is the
murderer.
no songs, nothin,short movie too, so it was taut and gripping right
through.
